Xiangyang City is the main city of Jingzhou.

The thickness of the high walls of the city is only one aspect, and the terrain also forms a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defense in the city is the main force of Jingzhou, so this battle, the herdsman army is very bleak.

Jingping's First Army, only one day after storming the North City Gate, suffered more than 500 casualties.

That was the Jingping Army, the elite of the pastoral army.

Every soldier is an elite veteran, is the main force of the pastoral army, super combat effectiveness, if on the plain under the same conditions and Jingzhou army blood, with one battle and three, there is absolutely no problem, casualties of more than a hundred, it is a very terrible thing, because one less, there is no one, it is difficult to add in.

And the Violent Bear Army, even if its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Jingping Army, is also the main force of soldiers and horses, and the casualties under the West City Gate are still above the Jingping Army.

But the commanders of the two armies did not care at all.

At the end of the first day's attack, there was a truce for one night, and I thought that yesterday's attack had consumed a lot of spirit and energy of the herdsmen, and the momentum of the herdsmen would be much weaker on the second day.

But the next morning, the herdsmen had already attacked, and they were bound to be even stronger yesterday.

More importantly, yesterday, because the attack was in a hurry, the logistics could not transport the siege equipment of the herdsmen, and at this time the logistics transportation had already sent those huge baggage.

The siege equipment of the herdsman army is very particular, from trebuchets, wells, siege vehicles, ladders, all one by one.

"Sons, today is just to see our performance, we Jingping Erlang never give up, this city can't stop us, we must hit the city today!"

Chen took the lead in the attack.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The morale of Jingping's First Army swelled.

"What a fierce offensive!"

At the head of the city, Deng Long squinted slightly.

"General, their trebuchets are too fierce, our casualties are not light!" Several lieutenants did not look very good.

"Let go of the suppression under the city!"

Deng Long pondered for a moment: "Put them on the ladder to fight!" ”

The trebuchet of the herdsman is indeed very powerful, and twenty or thirty catties of stone bullets do not have much impact on the city wall, but if there are too many and fall, it will also affect the defense on the city wall, especially if it is hit, that kind of scene is too tragic.

"No!"

The lieutenants nodded.

"General Zhonglang, they let go of the suppression under the city!"

"Go up the ladder!"

Chen Zhi said without hesitation.

"No!"

Jingping's first army broke through the boundary under the city wall and went up one by one.

………………

The war in the North City was fierce, and the same was true in the West City.

Zhou Cang's eyes were red: "Give Jingping Camp another hour, if you can't break through the defense under the city wall in one hour, let them withdraw, and I will go up in person!" ”

"No!"

The herald goes to give the order.

"General Zhonglang, I think we can storm the northern city wall, the last attack has already made the northern city crumbling!"

"No way!"

Zhou Cang shook his head: "Because of this, Wen Ping will have a stronger defense in this regard, it is not cost-effective to fight this side, it is still crucial to attack the city gate with all his strength and open the city gate!" “

"No!"

The generals thought about it and denied it.

"General Zhonglang, this city wall is too strong, last time we were just lucky, the defensive strength in the city was less than one-tenth, we could break through, but now the city has strong troops, it is really not suitable to attack!"

A staff general pondered for a long time and came out to oppose the attack, and this battle felt like child's play when he fought.

"The military order is like a mountain!"

Zhou Cang said calmly: "If the above wants us to attack, we will attack, you are only responsible for planning how to open this city gate in the shortest possible time, don't think about the rest!" ”

"No!"

The generals looked at each other a few times, and could only obey orders, although they didn't know why the military order was so issued, but the military order was a military order.

………………………………

Midday.

Under the mountain in Longshan.

Huang Zu sent troops from Yanshan, bypassed the western suburbs of Xiangyang, personally led 8,000 elite soldiers and horses, walked the mountain road, entered the Longzhong area from the trail, and was not blocked, and quickly approached the mountain.

"The report is too guarded, the scouts have been investigated!"

The scout army marquis reported: "There is a garrison on the left flank, but there is no sign of garrison on the right flank in the direction of the West River!" ”

"How's it going on the mountain?"

"I don't know!"

The scout marquis said: "We don't dare to rush forward, for fear of startling the snake!" ”

"At this time, don't be afraid to startle the snake!"

Huang Zu was dressed in battle armor, his eyes were cold, and he said, "You must inquire about me clearly and find out their strength!" ”

"No!"

The scout marquis took the order and left.

"Taishou-sama, I feel like we're going a little too well!" Su Fei didn't know if he was suspicious, but he still felt that it was too smooth to enter the foot of Longzhong Mountain.

"I feel that way too!"

Since the battle of Xihe, Huang Zu's heart has sunk down, but his wisdom is on the line, after all, he is the prince of the side guarding Jiangxia, and there is no shortage of eyesight and city government, he said in a low voice: "Although the main force of the pastoral army is in Xiangyang, since Longzhong is the Chinese army and the command camp, it should have a certain defensive ability!" ”

"Shepherd Sailor!"

Su Fei thought for a while and said: "The main force of the herdsman army is exhausted, but the sailor is nowhere to be seen, we have come all the way, but we have seen traces of warships!" ”

"Nope!"

Zhang Shuo shook his head.

Chen was wounded in the battle of Xihe, and now he is recuperating in Yanshan, he is the only general under Huang Zu who can take charge alone, he is also a vanguard general, he said in a deep voice: "I also let the scouts out, but I don't see any trace of their naval army!" ”

The Pastoral Army is the weakest part of the Pastoral Army's combat effectiveness, but it is because of this army and horses that they were lured into the West River, causing them to be defeated in the Battle of the West River.

Therefore, they are very jealous of the herdsmen and sailors.

"Someone!" Huang Zu drank lowly.

"In!"

"Immediately send scouts, from Longzhong to Dengxian River, give us a clear inventory!" Huang Zu said: "No matter what, the second army of Jingping must be found!" ”

"No!"

Another wave of scouts left.

"My lord, are we going to attack Longzhong Mountain now?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"It stands to reason that our traces can't be hidden, can the herdsmen have any traces of withdrawing troops from Xiangyang?" Huang Zu asked.

Eight thousand soldiers marched, and when they walked the path, they could still hide one or two, but when they entered Longzhong, they would inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the Quartet, and they could not hide from the scouts of the herdsmen at all.

"Nope!"

Zhang Shuo shook his head: "They are still storming Xiangyang, and the troops of Xiangyang are holding them, and it seems that they can't get out!" ”

"That's good, then let's attack!" Huang Zu raised his head and looked at Longzhong Mountain, he was defeated here, and he must regain his glory from here, he snorted and said: "You have to fight a dozen to see more clearly, in order to force them out, but you can't invest all your forces at once, Zhang Shuo, you attack, I will defend, once there is any accident, withdraw immediately!" “

"No!"

Zhang Shuo took the order.

………………

Longshan Mountain.

"Report!"

With a shout from the scout, Huang Zhong opened the curtain and walked out of the camp.

"Say!"

Huang Zhong said indifferently.

"The mountain has been surrounded by the Jiangxia army!"

"Jiang Xiajun?"

Huang Zhong squinted: "What are the troops?" ”

"No more than ten thousand, at least six or seven thousand!"

"It's coming so fast!"

Huang Zhong took a deep breath, carried the knife in his backhand, raised the knife in the sky, and shouted: "Pass my military order, the Modao battalion gathers!" ”

"Yes!"

Woowoowoo!!!!

The horn sounded.

Stomp !!

In the midst of the sound of footsteps, the Eight Hundred Mo Dao Battalion quickly gathered on the school ground.

On this hill, only the strength of this battalion remains.

"The lord is behind me, and now the enemy army under the mountain is ten times as strong as ours, and the rest is terrifying!"

In front of the Mo Dao soldiers, Huang Zhong raised his sword and roared.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Mo knife eight hundred, the guard combat battalion, although it has not been formed for a long time, and there have not been many victories, but they are all selected by the elite soldiers of each department, with the sharpness of the Mo knife, they have also killed the enemy, and fought three thousand with one battalion, destroyed it, and won it.

"Very good, in order to defend the lord, I am willing to die here!"

Huang Zhong laughed, his smile was arrogant, and his whole body was full of confidence: "Wait, follow me on the expedition!" ”
