Chapter 884 Reinforcements Arrive

"kill!"

Inside and outside Jiangling City, shouts of killing are heard endlessly. Cao Jun has been attacking Jiangling City day and night for two full days. Countless Cao Jun troops are attacking Jiangling City every moment. The walls of Jiangling City are full of war. traces of fireworks.

The total number of Jingzhou soldiers on top of the city was only a few hundred. Due to the battles in the past few days, they had suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of them dead and wounded. Moreover, many of them had not slept for a long time. They were fighting with fatigue. If one of them was not careful, Cao Jun on the other side would be attacked. The sword has already been slashed over.

"Get away!"

Wei Yan roared, and suddenly slashed out with his sword. A Cao soldier was hit by his sword, and he screamed in agony, and his body was split into two. At this moment, Wei Yan's eyes were scarlet, not because he was jealous, but because he hadn't slept for two whole days!

Jiangling was attacked by Cao Jun outside the city day and night. The defenders in the city had long felt that they could not hold on. If Wei Yan had not set an example and fought against Cao Jun regardless of his own safety, how could these soldiers be able to hold on?

It was precisely because of Wei Yan's encouragement that even though they were sleepy and in small numbers, these Jingzhou soldiers withstood the opponent's fierce attack.

However, these Jingzhou soldiers had reached their peak both physically and mentally, and none of them felt like they could not hold on any longer.

"Captain, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Several Jingzhou soldiers asked, they really couldn't hold on any longer.

"We'll be there soon, be sure to hold on!"

Wei Yan shouted sharply, the long knife in his hand flew up and down, and in the blink of an eye, several more Cao soldiers died in his hands.

"Wei Yan, son, come forward quickly and lead me to death!"

A murderous intent suddenly struck, and Wei Yan subconsciously blocked the incoming hammer with a horizontal sword.

Niu Jin said coldly: "Wei Yan, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise after my general breaks the city, you will have no chance to surrender even if you want to."

Wei Yan snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, am I, Wei Yan, a half-hearted person?"

Seeing that Wei Yan had no intention of surrendering, Niu Jin stopped talking nonsense with him and rushed forward with a hammer, fighting Wei Yan together. Wei Yan's martial arts was supposed to be higher than Niu Jin's, but he hadn't slept for two days and two nights, and his physical and mental state were far from their peak. At this moment, he was certainly on a par with Niu Jin.

Niu Jin's moves were powerful and heavy, and each hammer was swung towards Wei Yan. Wei Yan could have used his skills to resist Niu Jin, but his physical strength was too much, so he could only resist Niu Jin's sledgehammer. .

"Damn it, if I were still in peak condition, I would kill this guy within thirty rounds. I would be so angry!"

Wei Yan was furious, but he could only fight with Niu Jin, and his hands were numb for a while.

And just when Niu Jin entangled Wei Yan, more and more Cao soldiers boarded the city, surrounded the small number of Jingzhou soldiers and fought. The originally few Jingzhou soldiers became fewer and fewer, and The number of Cao's soldiers became more and more, occupying the entire city.

"It seems Wei Yan can't hold on much longer, Jiangling will be taken by our army, haha."

Cao Ren's eyes were also bloodshot. He was similar to Wei Yan in that he hadn't slept for a long time, but he didn't fight in person.

"As long as Jiangling is captured, the north and south of Jingzhou can be isolated. Then we can defeat them one by one and watch Sun Quan and the Xiliang army fight, while our army has the advantage." Man Chong said with a smile.

On top of the city, Wei Yan tried his best to block Niu Jin. Looking at the fewer and fewer Jingzhou soldiers around him, he couldn't help but feel powerless.

"Is it possible that I really want to die in Jiangling today?"

Wei Yan was heartbroken, but the Jingzhou soldiers on top of the city finally couldn't hold on any longer and were about to retreat.

Woohoo!

A few miles northeast of Jiangling City, a desolate and simple horn horn whined, and a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon. This black line was rapidly approaching at lightning speed, and soon it was revealed. revealed their true colors.

Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

This black line is exactly a row of Xiliang cavalry wearing black clothes and black armor. Everyone is wearing black clothes and black armor. It is like a black torrent rushing in, spreading menacingly on the earth, as if it is a moving tower. The mountains!

"The whole army attacks, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Li Yan shouted loudly, urging the three thousand Xiliang cavalry to speed up, charging towards Cao Ren's army faster and faster. Although there were only three thousand cavalry, the charging formation was like an army of ten thousand people!

Everyone in the Xiliang cavalry has one man and two horses. Therefore, although there are only three thousand cavalry, there are six thousand war horses, charging in a row, and the spirit displayed is naturally extraordinary.

"Xiliang Iron Cavalry? Damn it!"

Jiangling City was about to be taken down. Unexpectedly, Xiliang Cavalry suddenly appeared at this critical moment. Cao Ren was naturally furious.

"General Zixiao, the Xiliang cavalry is approaching fiercely. If not prepared well, it is very likely that they will be defeated by the enemy. You need to prepare early!" Man Chong reminded hurriedly.

Cao Ren said coldly: "Give me the order to stop attacking the city and set up your formation!"

"The general has orders, set up the formation!"

Cao Ren's orders were conveyed in an orderly manner, and more than 10,000 Cao Jun's infantry immediately formed a fish-scale formation that was conducive to blocking the cavalry charge. The so-called fish scale formation is actually a small unit composed of small formations one after another. These small units are connected with each other and can block the group charge of the cavalry, just like the scales on the fish.

In his early years, Cao Ren traveled wildly between Huaisi and Si, leading a group of young rangers with bright clothes and angry horses. He was the first cavalry commander around Cao Cao, so he was naturally very sensitive to cavalry charges, so under his training, his subordinates Soldiers are also very capable of cavalry charging into battle.

"Slow down and move slowly away from the enemy!"

Li Yan was not a fool either. He led three thousand Xiliang cavalry to come to the rescue on the order of Zhang Jaw. However, Cao Ren on the opposite side was obviously not an easy person. If he charged directly at the large infantry formation, he would not be able to directly defeat the enemy. Instead, these three thousand cavalry were trapped and unable to break out.

Under Li Yan's order, the three thousand cavalry slowly slowed down, rushed to a stone's throw away from Cao Ren's army formation and stopped. Then, under the leadership of Li Yan, they marched along the distance from Cao Ren's army formation. He slowly circled around the place within a stone's throw, observing the enemy's weaknesses.

Although the Xiliang cavalry are called cavalry, they are essentially just light cavalry. They are not armored cavalry with both men and horses heavily armored. Of course, they cannot charge into the formation forcibly, otherwise they will be trapped and unable to get out.

Therefore, Li Yan slowly circled around, observing the enemy's weaknesses, and was always ready to break into them.
