Vol 2 Chapter 318: Po Xiangyang

In fact, the war in Jingzhou did not completely disappear. Even after seeing that the city could not be broken, Zhou Tai took his own horse to destroy in Jiangling and intended to cut off Guan Yu's food road, which caused great trouble for Guan Yu.
However, when Fan Cheng was attacked, Guan Yu's military food was not lacking. The only concern was the problem of the broken road.
Now that Liu Yi's assurance was given, Guan Yu simply let go of his arms and legs and took the army apart to attack Xiangyang day and night. The news that Cao Ren's army was returning to the division has been obtained. Now that the Wenjun's navy is transferred, there is no way to stop Cao Jun Rescue Xiangyang, Guan Yu obviously hopes to break through Xiangyang before Cao Ren returns to the division.
The stone bomb fell on the city wall with a horrible roar. Even if it was as strong as Xiangyang, there were many gaps in the female wall at the head of the city. Three hundred catapults bombed day and night. It was absolutely absolute for the morale of Yang Shoujun. It is ruthlessly devastated.
"Withstand, the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow!" Li Dian, carrying a shield full of arrow clusters, rushed back and forth around the city with his spirit, and the aisle at the foot was muddy. That was blood!
The breath has numb everyone's olfactory sensation in these days, and has not closed his eyes for three days. Li Dian now only feels that he can fall asleep if he gives himself a chance to close his eyes, but he dare not dare Sleeping, he was afraid of closing his eyes, and when he woke up tomorrow, he was Guan Yu's captive.
Cao Jun, who was defending the city, was numb to Li Dian ’s words. Three days ago, Li Dian said that the reinforcements would arrive tomorrow. Two days ago, he used this sentence to encourage morale. Yesterday, too, at the beginning, it was naturally exciting. , But after a long time, everyone is numb, and even feel that it is impossible for reinforcements to come.
Another cloud ladder was built on the city wall. These days, I do n’t know how many cloud ladders were burned down, but Guan Yu ’s cloud ladder is still being pushed up. Compared with the battle of Fan City, this attack on Xiangyang, Guan Yu invested It ’s not just more troops, the siege equipment and even the equipment of the siege soldiers are the most sophisticated. The feeling for the garrison Cao Jun is that the Jingzhou army is extremely brave, invulnerable, and really killed the city wall. , Often two or three people can only change each other.
In particular, as the offensive became more and more fierce, and the Xiangyang defenders became fewer and fewer, the pressure brought by the Jingzhou Army was increasing in the north of the city.
At the beginning, the defenders could burn the ladders in time, but as the war continued, the Jingzhou Army attacked in batches at no cost, so that the soldiers of the defending city had no time to burn the ladders.
Li Dian knew that Guan Yu was anxious, obviously there was a big event, either Cao Ren returned to the army, or there was a problem in the rear of Jingzhou. Guan Yu had to rush to solve the Xiangyang battle. The more he did this, the more he must stick to it. Go on, who can afford energy.
It's just that although the idea is this, the defending army really can't hold it. If it is placed in the wild, with the casualties today, Cao Jun, who defends Xiangyang, is probably already defeated.
Even now, Li Dian can feel that the morale of the defending army is frantically hovering on the verge of collapse. Poor, maybe it is the pressure of a straw that can completely destroy the defending army.
Hold on again, reinforcements should arrive soon!
Li Dian now admires himself a little bit, and he was able to support the army with less than 8,000 under the offensive of Guan Yu. He just stood for a month. As long as he stayed for two more days, no, one day, maybe there will be a turning point!
Although I don't know what happened, but looking at the siege of Guan Yu at no cost, Li Dian knows that although it is tragic at present, the dawn may not be far away, as long as he can hold it!
"Wala ~"
At this moment, the city wall underneath shook suddenly. Li Dian did not know what happened, but the cheers from the Jingzhou soldiers in the distance made Li Dianxin sink.
"General, the west wall is collapsing, and the Jingzhou Army is madly slamming into the city along the collapsed gap!" A general who rushed to Li Dian's heart-breaking path, "General, Run quickly, the city is broken! "
At that moment, Li Dian only felt a brain bang and exploded!
The city is broken?
The city gate was not broken, but the wall was directly collapsed. How could this be possible?
A group of generals saw that Li Dian was in a daze, but he did not dare to delay. The Jingzhou Army had already entered the city, and the defenders on all sides of the city wall had begun to chaos. This city could not hold it anyway. The Jingzhou naval forces had already withdrawn. Although they did not know the reason, it was the only way out. At the moment, Li Dian was retreating madly. On the road, a lot of broken troops fought together and some chaotic troops broke into the houses. At this time, no one can care so much.
"Monarch, the city is broken!" Ma Liang, who has been in charge of watching, looked at Guan Yu in surprise. This battle was really not easy to fight. The Xiangyang garrison suffered heavy losses, but the Jingzhou army was under Guan Yu's attack at any cost Although the results were remarkable, the enemy suffered a thousand losses and suffered 800 losses, not to mention the siege warfare. The Jingzhou Army suffered a lot of losses and even far exceeded Cao Jun. However, it was worthwhile to break through Xiangyang.
Guan Yu nodded, waved the flag, and the sound of the war drum was suddenly raised a lot. The morale of the Jingzhou military siege rose sharply, and he began to frantically follow the unburnt cloud ladder into the city.
Cao Jun has already started to escape. There are not many Cao Jun still holding on to the city wall. Soon, the city wall has been won. This is also Liu Beijun's first real victory over Cao Jun on the frontal battlefield.
Xiangyang City is already in chaos. Cao Jun generals are constantly setting fire, forcing the people in the city to help them stop chasing soldiers. Although they are somewhat ruthless, the effect is really good. Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang this time, but he did n’t want a dead city. After entering the city, Seeing the fire in the sky, he quickly separated a group of soldiers and led the people to put out the fire. At the same time, he ordered Zhou Cang and Liao Hua to clear the Cao Jun who had escaped in the city, and ordered a soldier to go to the government office to keep the Xiangyang household registration. For Jing Xiang, it has extremely important and far-reaching significance.
Until the early morning of the next day, the fire in the city was gradually suppressed. Guan Yu, accompanied by Ma Liang and Yi Ji, arrived at Liu Biao's former Shishi House, but most of the former Shishi House had been burned down.
"I remember, this is the loft that Bo Yuan built for Jingsheng, right?" Guan Yu came to a ruin, looked at the burnt loft, and sighed.
"Yu Tinghou was actually full of Jingxiang at that time. At that time, Tiangongfang was established, and Yuting Hou was far from the current momentum." Ma Liang nodded with a smile. Liu Biao was quite fond of this loft before his death. It is a pity that Jingxiang celebrities are often feasted here, but unfortunately, things are wrong now, and even this loft has not been spared, which makes people feel very sad.
Guan Yu smiled and said, "Xiangyang has been damaged for most of this battle. After this incident, Bo Yuan needs to be invited to repair it."
Although I have n’t been to the city of Yueyang a few times, I still remember it so far. Now Xiangyang, the political and military of Jingzhou will definitely move northwards. Since then, I can go directly to Shangyong and have connections with the territories. As a bridgehead against Cao Jun, Xiangyang must be rebuilt or even rebuilt.
Although this war made Xiangyang devastated, it was not necessarily an opportunity.
"Speaking of Yuting Hou ..." Yi Ji hesitated and looked at Guan Yudao. "The Jiangdong Army recently cut off our army's grain road. If there is still grain left in Fancheng, our army will be in danger! Yuting Hou's side is really unharmed?" "
"Huh!" Guan Yu heard that his soft face was a little bit more angry. "Ji Chang! Ji Bo!"
"At!" Ma Liang and Yi Ji quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"I leave Liaohua to guard the city here, Zhou Cangfu assists, strengthen the city, and Mo wants to let Cao Jun commit the crime. The two of you stay to order and deal with Xiangyang government affairs. There was a thick murderous demeanor, said sensibly.
"Hello!" Ma Liang and Yi Ji glanced at each other. Now Xiangyang's new ground is unstable. Guan Yu shouldn't be leaving at this time, but the safety of the rear is also a big problem. Then Zhou Tai Nai Sun Quan's general, this Jingzhou general, except Guan Yu In addition, I really can't find any other people who can compete with it, and the two can only agree.
Guan Yu no longer spoke much. After ordering five thousand elites, he did not rest and went straight to Jiangling.
...
Nanyang, after crossing the Hanshui River, saw that the Jingzhou Army had no intention of chasing. Li Dian sat down on the ground helplessly, looking at Xiangyang, who had gradually calmed down. At this moment, besides a few generals, With less than three hundred soldiers and horses, Cao Jun was defeated and defeated in this battle of Xiangfan. Not only did he lose the city, even the banned general was captured by the opponent.
"General, let's go to Wancheng first!" A general advised, after all, he lost two important towns, Xiangyang and Fancheng. With these people, they can't do anything. It's better to go to Wancheng first. Now Nanyang is also very chaotic Yes, it's just a crime.
Li Dian nodded tiredly, he had no idea of ​​seeking death. After all, he tried his best to fight this battle, and the reason why he was attacked was not because Li Dian voluntarily fled, but really could n’t keep it. Being collapsed by others, how can you keep it?
Now Li Dian is thinking about how ~ EbookFREE.me ~ recaptured Xiangyang. This is the springboard for Cao Jun to attack the land of Jingxiang. Without Xiangyang, Cao Jun would have a hard time trying to enter Jingzhou again. You cannot expect every Once, there were people like Liu Cong and Cai Xuan offering you the city.
"Cough crap ~"
A sound of rapid horseshoes came from a distance. Cao Jun, who had been fighting for one month in a row, already had the feeling of a bow and a snake. Hearing the rapid horseshoe, he stood up instinctively and stood beside Li Dian.
Li Dian also stood up and looked in the direction of the hoof sound, there shouldn't be the Jingzhou Army chasing.
"It's our army scout!" Said a general.
Soon, the scout has been recruited.
"Who are you under? Where is the army?" Li Dian asked, looking at the scout.
"Return to General, the general will be under General Cao Ren, our main force has been less than thirty miles!"
Li Dian "..."
