"How to do?"

Cao Hong's two caterpillars proudly challenged each other and said: "Wen Lie, what that fellow Jiangdong Zhou Yu did outside Jiangling City, we will do it under Yiling City!"

A mountain of earth.

Thousands of arrows were fired.

Although it's slow, it's useful when you can't hold up a city siege.

Suppress the Jiangdong soldiers on the city wall, prevent them from fighting back, and create a good output environment for your own soldiers to attack the city.

This time, Sergeant Cao's soldiers had a rich reserve of arrows, which were originally brought to them for the purpose of seizing Yiling City and holding on to it.

Arrows are important offensive and defensive weapons.

"Uncle is wise." Cao Xiu praised him first, and then said:

"There are a lot of woods here. We can also build a simple well barrier to suppress the defenders in the city, a two-pronged approach."

"Okay, this matter can all be decided by Wen Lie. I just need to capture Yiling City and share the worries of General Zhengnan. I won't let the rats from Jiangdong run rampant."

"Here."

All the generals behind him responded.

Cao's soldiers all cut down mountain trees and used tree fences to defend themselves to avoid being attacked at night.

Even if it is surrounded by a simple tree fence, it is much more peaceful than having nothing at all.

Otherwise, everyone would be in a tense state all the time, and if there was a slight disturbance, the camp could be blown up at night, allowing the enemy to take advantage of it.

The supplies of Cao's army were guarded in the middle of the four camps, and the banner with the word Cao was immediately erected in the center of the selected camp.

Firewood harvesting, grazing, and drinking water have all been divided into areas, and a river flows through the camp.

Cao Xiu was very careful and cherished the fact that he was able to control so many people for the first time. This was an opportunity for him to gain experience.

It can be said that although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are Boss Cao's trusted and direct troops and have strong combat capabilities, they have never fought any bad battles and almost always have smooth sailing.

Therefore, although Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were commanders of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, their promotions were not fast at all.

There were not as many titles or territories as those generals with foreign surnames, because they fought bad battles.

It wasn't until Boss Cao defeated Ma Chao's cavalry behind him that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fought a fierce battle and completely established the reputation of this army.

The so-called strong teams always come up by stepping on other people's heads.

The elite Cao Jun cavalry were still patrolling everywhere to prevent anyone from running out of Yiling City and reporting to Zhou Yu outside Jiangling City.

Some soldiers with good eyesight were sent to high mountains and treetops to look out and monitor the surrounding environment.

Cao Xiu and the others in Yiling City were determined not to allow anyone in the city to escape.

When the night got darker, Cao Xiu ordered his soldiers to burn all the antlers around Yiling City.

Killing two birds with one stone, it shines brightly to prevent anyone from escaping in the dark.

There are only two ways to destroy antlers, either burn them or pull them out.

In the midst of the fire, Jiangdong's soldiers in Yiling City were panic-stricken. The next step was for them to attack the city.

In fact, Yiling City is relatively close to the mountains and does not have a moat.

This undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on the defense.

But Gan Ning was still not afraid, and talked and laughed with everyone around him freely, but he couldn't laugh alone, and the soldiers beside him felt guilty.

Ding Feng next to him was even more fearless and admired Gan Ning's bravery more and more.

Cao Hong rode on his horse and ordered his soldiers to pile up mountains of earth, go up to high platforms, and shoot arrows into the city. When arrows rained down, Cao's soldiers carried ladders and began to charge.

On the fourth day, although Gan Ning was smiling, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He knew that what his elder brother Su Fei said was right.

"Xingba, if we don't send a messenger, I'm afraid Yiling City won't be able to hold on." Su Fei once put forward his own idea.

My big brother, we are at this critical moment, so don’t hold on any longer, otherwise we will all be doomed.

"Brother is right." Gan Ning held up the sign and said, "I will send a messenger tonight and hurry up. I believe the Governor will receive the news tomorrow."

Su Fei nodded secretly, hoping it was still too late.

If Cao Jun hadn't warned that those who surrendered after the siege would not be spared, the defenders on the city might have had their thoughts.

Cao Hong was not worried at all about not being able to capture Yiling City. The Jiangdong Rats in the city had been shot so hard in the past few days that they did not dare to show their heads.

"Uncle, these people are still carrying them to death."

Cao Xiu couldn't sit still anymore. The small Yiling City had not been captured in three days, which was really hard for him to accept.

And the longer the time goes, the sooner Zhou Yu will get the news, and by then the news will be attacked by them from both front and back.

Moreover, the protection of the tree fence is very low. It is only a temporary camp. If we use fire attack, we will definitely not be able to defend it.

A fire broke out in Chibi, causing a huge defeat for our own side.

Cao Xiu paid special attention to fire prevention.

"Don't worry Wen Lie, we will definitely capture such a small town tomorrow. I wonder how many people they can afford." Cao Honghun said nonchalantly.

"But uncle, the longer we delay, the more likely it is that Zhou Yu outside Jiangling City will know that Yiling City is besieged."

"Hahaha." Cao Hong laughed loudly and said: "Now Yiling City is surrounded by us.

I guarantee that even if a bird wants to fly out, it will have to be shot down by us, Wen Lie, do you believe it or not?"

"That's what uncle said."

"We have taken a long time. Although there are risks, what will the Jiangdong soldiers in the city think? It has been three days and no reinforcements have appeared.

Anyone with a little bit of brains should know that Zhou Yu wouldn't have time to save them."

Cao Hong had a big smile on his face: "Maybe after tonight, they will have no intention of fighting, and we can easily take Yiling City."

Cao Xiu looked at the Jiangdong soldiers who were still resisting in Yiling City, and felt that he didn't quite agree with what his uncle said.

"Niu Jin, come forward and beat the drum and ask your subordinates to work harder. After the city is defeated, there will be many rewards."

"Here."

Niu Jin responded loudly and stepped forward to beat the drum.

The sun rises slowly and shines on the river.

Cao Ren, who got up early in the morning to patrol Jiangling City, waved his hands to his subordinates to place the Elephant Man under their feet before it was dark, and he became a real person and stood guard.

It has been three days and there has been no news from Yiling City.

There was no response from Jiangdong Daying.

This is enough to show that at this moment, Yiling City is under siege by our own soldiers and is probably in danger.

Gan Ning couldn't deliver the letter even if he wanted to.

Cao Ren stroked his messy beard. He wanted to see Zhou Yu's expression after learning the truth.

In the Jiangdong commander's tent, a soldier with a feather hurriedly knelt down on one knee and reported loudly: "To the Governor, General Gan Ning sent me to deliver a message."

"What message?"

"Yiling City has been besieged for three days, and Cao Cao's army of five to six thousand suddenly appeared outside the city."

"What!"

Zhou Yu stood up suddenly. This situation was something he had never expected.

Cao Jun actually went to besiege Yiling City three days ago. Why didn't he find out?

"Hurry up and beat the drum to gather the generals."

After Zhou Yu gave a loud order, he immediately asked about the battle situation in detail.

The drum was beating.

Guan Ping suddenly woke up, sat up from his bed, and glanced outside the tent, but he didn't realize that it was bright.

Huang Gai, who was sleeping opposite Guan Ping, suddenly opened the quilt and shouted loudly, asking his guards to put on his armor.

Guan Ping immediately lay down again. As long as Cao Ren didn't leave the city to attack the camp, it would be no big deal.

This time is a good time to attack the camp, but it is a pity that Cao Ren will not seize it easily.

"Dingguo, get up quickly, something must have happened, otherwise Gong Jin wouldn't have started gathering the generals so early." Huang Gai looked at Guan Ping and lay down again and spoke hurriedly.

"Huang Gong defeated the old general, you gathered your generals, what am I going to do? I am a nuisance to others. If something happens, you can call me again. It's still early, so I can sleep a little longer."

"Oh, Dingguo, don't sleep anymore, something big must have happened."

"What big thing could happen..."

Guan Ping suddenly sat up again. Yiling City must have been besieged by Cao's army.

Otherwise, what big things can happen in Nan County in the near future?

But when did Cao Jun reach outside Yiling City without anyone noticing?
