Chapter 338: Serial Attack on the Heart of Xiangyang Break
After Wang Kai adopted Liu Ye's words, he immediately arranged for his soldiers to send rumor letters to the city.
When the soldiers of Xiangyang City picked up the rumor letter that Wang Kaijun shot into the city, the soldiers were really shaken.
Soon, Cai Mao also knew the content of the rumor letter that Wang Kai shot into the city.
After Cai Mao read the rumor letter that Wang Kaijun shot into the city, he immediately began to calm down.
Although the soldiers' morale has temporarily stabilized, the Jingzhou ministers in the city have a strange mood, after all, the news of Cai Mao's devouring lord is too serious, and everyone has to think about it.
Besides, after Wang Kai spread the rumor letter, he ordered his soldiers to hang the heads of Huang Zu and Zhang Yun.
When the soldiers in Xiangyang City suddenly saw the heads of Huang Zu and Zhang Yun, the soldiers' already stable military hearts began to shake again.
When Cai Mao learned that Wang Kai had actually hung the heads of Huang Zu and Zhang Yun, he immediately went up to the city tower to check it.
When Cai Mao confirmed that the heads outside the city were indeed Huang Zu and Zhang Yun, he was stunned.
Immediately after, Cai Mao muttered to himself: "Huang Zu and Zhang Yun are both facing Sun Ce in Xiling, since their heads appear here, doesn't it mean that Wang Kai and Sun Ce have united?" ”
Speaking of this, Cai Mao was also frightened, after all, one Wang Kai was enough for him, if he added Jiangdong Sun Ce, no matter how strong Xiangyang City was, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold the joint attack of Wang Kai and Sun Ce.
Immediately, Cai Mao also quickly returned to the state pastoral mansion to meet Liu Cong.
When Liu Cong saw Cai Mao returning, he immediately asked, "Uncle, what happened in the city today?" ”
"Lord, I'm afraid Xiangyang City won't be protected."
"What? Isn't Xiangyang City still protected by an uncle? Why is it not insured? ”
"Lord, today's minister found that Wang Kai had hung the heads of Huang Taishou and General Zhang outside the city."
"Is what my uncle said true?"
"Absolutely."
Hearing this, Liu Cong also reacted to the connection.
Frightened, Liu Cong immediately said to Cai Mao: "Uncle, if the heads of Huang Taishou and General Zhang are really outside the city, doesn't that mean that Sun Ce and Wang Kai are united?" ”
"My lord, the minister is also worried."
"Uncle, what should we do next?"
"My lord, the only way to do this is to ask Prime Minister Cao for help."
Liu Cong also agreed after thinking about it.
Immediately after, Liu Cong immediately wrote a letter asking for help and asked Cai Mao to find a way to send it out.
Cai Mao also immediately began to prepare after receiving the order.
After nightfall, Cai Mao sent several of his henchmen to leave Xiangyang at night and sail north.
Because there was no naval army on Wang Kai's side, Cai Mao's messenger went north to Wancheng very easily.
At this time, Wang Kai also officially began to attack Xiangyang City.
After Cai Mao learned that Wang Kaijun was attacking the city, he also hurriedly climbed the city tower to command and defend.
After Wang Kai's army attacked for a few days, Cai Mao's messenger finally entered Wancheng and met with the commander of Cao's army.
When Yu Ban learned that Cai Mao had actually sent someone to come, he immediately summoned the messenger.
When Cai Mao's messenger saw Yu Ban, he immediately handed over Liu Cong's letter to Yu Ban.
After Yu Ban took the letter, he also opened it and read it.
After Yu Ban finished reading it, he was also surprised: "I didn't expect Sun Ce to unite with Wang Kai." ”
Speaking of which, Yu Ban asked Cai Mao's messenger to go down to rest first, and he summoned Cheng Yu and Yue Xi.
After Yu Ban saw Cheng Yu and Yue Xi coming, he immediately spoke: "Mr. Cheng, General Yue, just now I received a letter of help from Cai Mao in Xiangyang, he said that Jiangdong Sun Ce and Wang Kai are jointly plotting the land of Jingzhou. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yu immediately said: "General Yu, this matter is very important, we need to invite the lord immediately!" ”
"That's exactly what I mean!"
Immediately, Yu Ban immediately sent someone to send the news to Xu Du.
At this time, Wang Kai also stormed Xiangyang City.
When Cai Mao saw that Wang Kaijun's offensive was getting stronger and stronger, he also prayed that Cao's army would arrive soon, but Wancheng Yuban did not have the right to attack independently, and he was still asking Cao Cao in Xudu for advice, and this back and forth would definitely delay for many days.
Wang Kaijun attacked for about ten days in a row, and Cao Cao of Xu Capital also received the news from Yu Ban.
When Cao Cao learned that Jiangdong Sun Ce and Wang Kai jointly attacked Jingzhou, he also pondered: 'After Liu Biao's death, this should be the inevitable result!' It's a pity that Yuan Shao's army is ready to move in Qingzhou, and I can't easily meddle in the affairs of Jingzhou. ’
Thinking of this, Cao Cao finally reluctantly replied to Yu Ban and asked him not to act rashly.
After Yu Ban received Cao Cao's reply, he also knew what Cao Cao meant.
Immediately, Yu Ban also summoned Cai Mao's messenger and conveyed Cao Cao's meaning.
When Cai Mao's henchmen learned that Cao Jun would not be dispatched, he also left Wancheng helplessly.
At this time, the battle between Wang Kaijun and Jingzhou Army also entered a white-hot stage, with thousands of people killed every day, Xiangyang City was also crumbling under such a strong attack, and the morale of the soldiers also fell to the bottom.
Without waiting for the messenger from Wancheng to return, Wang Kai also built a catapult improved by Liu Ye.
Subsequently, Wang Kai immediately ordered the catapult to bombard Xiangyang City.
The soldiers of Xiangyang City finally lost their fighting spirit completely when faced with the improved catapult.
Seeing this opportunity, Wang Kai immediately sent generals to climb the city tower.
Soon, several generals under Wang Kai's command appeared on the tower of Xiangyang City.
As these generals fought on the city tower, the Jingzhou army was finally defeated.
Seeing this, Cai Mao also immediately rushed back to the state pastor's mansion and met Liu Cong and his sister Cai.
When Cai saw Cai Mao returning, she also immediately asked.
When Cai Mao told them the news of Wang Kaijun's invasion of the city, Liu Cong and his biological mother Cai were quite shocked.
At this time, Cai Mao spoke: "Lord, sister, now that Xiangyang City has been broken, and Cao Jun has not been invited, we have only one way to flee to Jingnan." ”
Hearing this, Liu Cong and Cai's immediately agreed.
Immediately, Cai Mao protected Cai and Liu Cong and began to break through.
At this time, Wang Kaijun also invaded Xiangyang City to hunt down Cai Mao.
When Wang Kai learned that Cai Mao had fled from Xiangyang City with Liu Cong and Cai, he immediately sent Wen Ping and Liu Pan to hunt down Cai Mao.
After Wen Ping and Liu Pan got the order, they also led the army to chase and kill Cai Mao.
After Wen Ping and Liu Pan were ordered to leave, Wang Kai also said to Liu Qi beside him: "Young son Liu Qi, how does it feel to return to Xiangyang City?" ”
Liu Qi smiled bitterly when he heard this, because it was impossible for him to become a pastor in Jingzhou, and even if he returned to Xiangyang, he couldn't change this reality.
Wang Kai saw Liu Qi showing a wry smile, and he didn't continue to say anything, after all, he still wanted to rely on Liu Qi to quickly stabilize Jingzhou, so that he could free up his hands to take the rest of Nanyang and Heluo.
Besides, Cai Mao took Liu Cong and Cai's all the way for a long time, and they finally stopped at the Hanshui ferry to rest.
Seeing that Cai Mao was about to escape, Wen Ping and Liu Pan's pursuers also chased after him.
