Chapter 741: The Bloody Battle of Xiangyang Begins
"Yiling has been breached?" When Liu Biao received the news, his whole body was stunned, and his expression was incredulous: "When did this happen?" ”
"The night before yesterday!"
The herald replied.
"What about Cai Dudu?" Liu Biao asked again.
"More than half of the 8,000 soldiers of Yiling were killed, and the rest were all captured, even Master Li was captured alive, but Cai Dudu has led the main force of the water army to withdraw from the battlefield and is now stationed in Jingzhou City!"
"Is the main force of the navy safe?" Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!" ”
As long as the main force of the naval army is maintained, there is still hope on the southern front.
If the southern line can't be stopped, then Jingzhou will be in danger.
After all, Yizhou's main force is on the battlefield on the southern front, and if Yizhou's hundreds of thousands of troops attack north, he can't stop it at all, and Jingzhou will definitely be defeated.
"Zirou!"
Liu Biao summoned Kuai Liang to discuss countermeasures: "That's the thing, now that Yiling has been breached, it is already a fact, and now I am thinking about it, should I send reinforcements to the south?" “
"Lord, Xiangyang City may not be able to hold it, where do we have reinforcements to go south!"
Kuai Liang shook his head.
"After all, Cai Mao Zhang Yun and they are facing more than ten thousand main forces in Yizhou, and in front of us, there are only tens of thousands of herdsmen, if they send some soldiers and horses south, it is reasonable, if the battlefield on the southern front is breached, we will be in trouble!"
Liu Biao's concerns are not unreasonable, the most important thing is that he feels that the pastoral army does not seem to be as strong as he imagined, and this period of time may have been too smooth, and the pastoral army has been defeated and retreated again and again, which made him establish self-confidence,
"My lord, whether the battlefield on the southern front will be broken is still unknown!"
Kuai Liang said: "But as long as we transfer troops south, Xiangyang will not be able to be protected immediately!" ”
"We have figured out the strength of the herdsman's army, and there are only forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses!"
Liu Biao said.
"Indeed, the strength of the pastoral army is not strong, and the rumors of disarmament in Hanzhong before are not groundless, but the combat effectiveness of the pastoral army is not trivial.
Kuai Liang said: "I think that although the shepherd's strength is not strong, the combat effectiveness can serve as a 100,000 army, which should not be underestimated, and during this time, the herdsman army is simply showing weakness and wants us to relax our vigilance!" ”
"But Jingzhou City?"
"Jingzhou City has Cai Dudu and Zhang Yun, and the troops are also very strong, so it is not a problem to block them for a few months!"
Kuai Liang said: "Xiangyang is the most important, as long as Xiangyang stands one day, the appeal of my Jingzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion is there, once Xiangyang can not be kept, Jingzhou Prefecture Pastoral Government may lose its appeal to Jingzhou, and then it will be trouble."
And the lord should pay attention to the pastoral army, and the lord probably didn't expect that the Jiangxia army would be dragged on the river, which I couldn't have imagined! ”
He paused and said, "And if I'm not mistaken, they're getting ready to attack!" “
"You're saying the shepherds are attacking!"
Liu Biao's eyes burst with a gleam.
"Dead consumption, they can't consume us, they have been dragging on, just waiting for news from the south, and now that the news from the southern front has come back, they also think that it is time to attack our Xiangyang!"
Kuai Liang said: "If they are determined to fight to the death, it will be a bloody battle, and we must be fully prepared to face it!" ”

"Xi Sima's movements are very fast!" Chen Gong squinted his eyes, and the light burst out through a slit, and said in a deep voice: "What he is fighting here is a psychological war!" ”
"I'm not surprised by this!"
Mu Jing said: "What surprised me was Liu Yan's trust in him, mobilizing more than 100,000 main forces, Liu Yan was wide, how could he dare to believe in Xi Zhicai so much, he was not afraid of being cheated again!" ”
"He's not stupid!"
Chen Gong shook his head: "In other places, he won't stop, but on the battlefield in Jingzhou, he can listen to the strategy of Xi Zhicai, that's because he calculated accurately, no matter what purpose we have, we won't unite with Jingzhou to pit him, in this case, why doesn't he fight, Yizhou's hundreds of thousands of main forces are pressed in Yiling, he is much more stressed than I imagined!" ”
"That's right!"
Mu Jing nodded, and he slowly stood up: "Now the situation in Nanyang is beyond our reach, but we can't wait to the death, we must solve the Jingzhou Battle as soon as possible, Zhicai stabilized the southern front, at this time, it is time for a decisive battle!" ”
"Pass on my military order, officers above the rank of captain Sima of all ministries will rush to the camp in Xishan within an hour!"
"No!"
Outside, a dozen war horses left the camp and gave the order.
An hour later, in the tent of the military camp.
The Jingping First Army, the Jingping Second Army, the Violent Bear Army, the officers and men of the Third Army, the captains above the battalion level and Sima all participated in this meeting.
Mu Jing changed into a strong outfit and was in the first place, with a hot battle spirit all over his body: "From now on, we have officially entered the offensive battle spirit against Xiangyang City, and my goal is to strive to break through Xiangyang within three months." “
"Break Xiangyang!"
"Break Xiangyang!"
At this moment, the generals are united, united and high-spirited.
"Good!"
Mu Jing was very satisfied with the attitude of the lieutenant general, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile, and then he began to say: "Gongtai, you announce the offensive mission!" ”
"No!"
Chen Gong and Xi Zhicai discussed for a long time, and initially had a strategic deployment, and after he received the order, he stepped forward and pulled out the huge screen strategic map and showed it in front of everyone.
"Guys, this battle is crucial, so we have to be perfect every step of the way!"
He pointed to the map: "Our first step is to pull out all the camps outside Xiangyang City except for the waterway, and we must force all the Jingzhou troops into Xiangyang City!" ”
"First battle, Longzhong!"
He pointed to a position in Yutu and said, "Now that five thousand soldiers are stationed in Longzhong, they are the first line to guard against us, so they must be pulled out with the power of thunder!" ”
"The last general is going to fight!"
Chen Zhi and Zhou Cang asked to fight at the same time.
"This battle, leave it to Chen Dao!"
Mu Jing looked at the bullfighting in the eyes of the two leaders, pressed his hand, asked Chen Gong to sit down, and then said: "I have only one request, within three days, I will stand on Longshan Mountain!" ”
The combat effectiveness of the Jingping First Army is stronger than that of the Violent Bear Army, this is a fact, and it is also a consideration to hand over the vanguard task to Chen Dao, this battle is very important, there is no room for loss, the first battle is related to morale, it must be fought quickly, won by fighting, and fought beautifully.
"The last general is willing to make a military order!"
Chen was overjoyed and bowed his head.
"Zhou Cang!"
"In!"
"It's not a single war in Longzhong, you lead your troops to flank and send reinforcements, do you understand?"
"The last general commands!" Zhou Cang didn't win the task, he was a little unhappy, but when he heard these four words, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Don't worry, my lord, I will never allow any Jingzhou troops to reinforce Longzhong!" ”
"Wenyuan!"
"In!"
"The vigilance of the Jiangxia Navy is very strong, lure them away!" Mu Jing said: "First of all, we must make sure that they don't enter Longzhong!" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I won't let any Jiangxia warship enter the Longzhong range!"
Zhang Liao nodded.
On the morning of May 27, the first army of Jingping, the pastoral army, dispatched the main force of three battalions to attack Longzhong, the northern suburb of Xiangyang, from the west, north, south and three sides, completely opening a bloody Xiangyang offensive and defensive campaign......
