Chapter 493: The Battle of Xiangyang in Jingzhou (Part II)

Yi stayed silent in his own house, not knowing whether it was the silence after being expelled from the governor's mansion, or simply in contemplation.

Squeak~

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a person rushed in: "Uncle Ji, the war has begun, and Uncle Liu Huang has already ordered the siege of the city." ”

"Good!"

A smile suddenly changed on Yi Yuan's face, and he said, "Now that Cai Mao, and the eyes of the entire Xiangyang City are attracted by Uncle Liu, our opportunity has come. Now you immediately go to the north gate from the tunnels in the house and help them......"

"Okay, Uncle Ji, then so-and-so will go, after the matter is completed, please don't forget to recommend Uncle Liu Huang to Uncle Ji!"

"No problem!"

Yi Ji immediately responded, but expressed his doubts: "Bo Miao is very talented, and he is a new savage, and Uncle Liu Huang also issued an order to seek talents, why didn't he go to self-recommendation?" ”

The man said: "A certain age is not enough to be valued, rather than self-recommendation, it is better to make a great contribution and then be recommended by Uncle Ji, and then be taken seriously." Moreover, at the beginning of the year, after keeping filial piety, he heard about Liu Jingzhou, even if he knew that this was an opportunity for Uncle Liu Huang, he recommended himself, so it was better to help Uncle Liu Huang take Jingzhou as a place to live. ”

"Hahaha, Bo Miao is really talented, and he can't get it!"

Yi Yuan laughed, immediately left the man in the house, went to the backyard to change clothes, and then took the carriage from the front of the house to the north gate.

Yi was driven out of the state pastoral mansion after Liu Biao's death, not because he was found to have leaked secrets, which led to Liu Bei's escape, but because it was impossible to determine who it was, Cai Mao and Cai's brothers and sisters could not use butcher knives, and in the end they could only drive most of the subordinates and subordinates out of the mansion, leaving only their henchmen. Even so, the Yi and other subordinate officials were secretly watched. With the caution of the Yi nationality, he had long been aware of the people who were watching outside the palace. Now it's just right......

"Who?"

Approaching the north gate, the carriage of the Yi nationality was stopped.

Yi Yuan lifted the curtain and walked down, nodded and said: "It turned out to be General Cai (Cai Zhong) in person, Yi Yuan is polite!" ”

Cai Zhong couldn't figure out the meaning of Yi's origin, just thinking about his eldest brother's order, and said impatiently: "If Mr. Yi has nothing else to do, let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be bad to cause a misunderstanding." In the end, there was still some affection, no bad words, just cold warnings.

A fierce color flashed in Yi Ji's eyes, but he said on his face: "What General Cai said is that Ji will leave soon." However, now that the war is imminent, some gifts are given to General Cai and other soldiers. With that, Yi Ji waved his hand behind him, and then got into the carriage.

The carriage of the Yi nationality left, but several carriages of roast pigs, roast deer and other meat came to Cai Zhong. In an instant, the smell of meat was confused near the north gate, and even many of the soldiers at the head of the city stretched out their heads to look down, and when they saw the source of the fragrance, their saliva couldn't stop swallowing.

Cai Zhong was the closest, although he was not as ugly as the soldiers under him, but his eyes were also full of longing. The most important thing is that the war has started from the south gate, and Liu Bei's 3,000 men and horses only have one south gate is enough for him, not to mention dividing troops to attack other city gates, not to mention the side, even the wide moat will not be able to cross in a while and a half.

Cai Zhong hesitated for a moment and waved his hand to his soldiers: "What do you see, Mr. Yi Lao Jun, you still don't thank Mr. Yi!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yi!"

The soldiers shouted, and immediately rushed forward to carry the meat that had been delivered. Cai Zhong looked at the movement of his subordinates but did not move at all, because he didn't wait for a moment, a huge piece of tendon meat was sent to him.

Yi Yuan, who had not walked far away, heard the shout, smiled in his heart, and went to the east and west gates. To do a play, you have to do a full set!

The east and west doors also received ......

Near the North Gate.

A pair of eyes stared at Cai Zhong and the others at the city gate, especially Cai Zhong. This guy took the meat sent by his subordinates, sat on the stone bench next to him, where he sat before, and ate it slowly.

"Eat slowly! Anyway, it's your last meal, so enjoy it slowly! It's already excellent, to be a full ghost! ”

The owner of the eye may have thought so in his heart.

The battle at the South Gate is gradually advancing, and now some soldiers have crossed the moat and gained a foothold not far from the city of Xiangyang, and the price paid is that dozens of small boats are silent, and the raft has also suffered a lot of losses, but the harvest is also not small, and about half of the water ghosts who destroyed the boats and rafts have become dead ghosts.

Cai Mao naturally would not sit idly by, and mobilized crossbowmen to block it. It's just that these soldiers who crossed the moat did not move forward, but only raised their shields to protect the soldiers who crossed the river.

"No, if they are allowed to cross the river safely, and then there is the help of fierce generals like Yunchang, Xiangyang will be in danger!"

Cai Mao didn't expect that he was just a momentary negligence, which caused such a situation, his heart was shocked, he looked left and right, and said: "Cai Xun, I order you to take five hundred cavalry to charge the battle, and be sure to disperse Liu Bei's rebels!" ”

Liu Biao has been saving for many years, and he has accumulated a total of 800 cavalry, and now he is directly swallowed by Cai Mao, which is just useful.

Cai Xun led the troops out, Cai Mao relaxed slightly, but he also watched the movement under the city closely, but he didn't know the north gate-

"Huh? Why do you feel a little sleepy? Cai Zhong finished eating the meat in his hand and was about to cut some more desire for fruit, but he felt a little heavy in his brain, and then saw that the soldiers around him fell softly, and his heart was immediately shocked, and he wanted to warn loudly. However, it was too late, and his head was biased, and Cai Zhong also fell to the ground.

Not long after, a person appeared in front of Cai Zhong.

"Tie it up!"

The person who came snorted softly, and immediately someone stepped forward to tie up Cai Zhong.

The person who came then turned his head and said: "Half of the people will open the city gate and bring in General Huo, and the rest will carry the prisoners to one out and watch them." ”

"Yes, Lord Deng!"

Click...... There was a lot of movement at the opening of the city gate, but fortunately, Cai Zhong had warned the people near the city gate before, and no one came out to look for trouble. As soon as the city gate opened, Lord Deng rushed out. After a while, Lord Deng brought about a thousand people into the city. But look at the wet hair on these men, and you know that they have swam across the moat, and that they are enemies.

"Thank you for the general's help, Jun is here to defend the retreat, and the rest of the people are led by General Chen, who will go with the general to help the lord break the city." Huo Jun divided two hundred people and said to Lord Deng.

Lord Deng didn't care about not being trusted, but said, "If you want to fight inside and outside, it is better to let the brothers change into their armor for cover." ”

Huo Jun followed Lord Deng's finger and looked at it for a moment, then looked at the other general beside him, and said, "What does General Chen think?" ”

General Chen, that is, Chen Dao, nodded, waved his hand at his subordinates, and then said to Lord Deng: "I don't know the general's surname? can enter the city smoothly, and the general is not an unknown person? ”

"Xinye Deng Zhi, Deng Bomiao, I have seen General Chen and General Huo!" Lord Deng is Deng Zhi, that is, the person who brought news to the Iraqi nationality before.

"Shinno Dunchi?" Chen Zhi was a little surprised, and said, "Since you are a new savage, why didn't General Deng come to unveil the order when the lord set up the recruitment order?" ”

Deng Zhi smiled faintly: "If you don't have size skills, how dare you meet Uncle Liu Huang!" ”

Chen Zhi heard the arrogance in Deng Zhi's heart, but he admired it so much, and praised: "Thank you General Deng for having this heart, otherwise, it would be very difficult for the lord to break the city this time." ”

Deng Zhi nodded, didn't speak again, just led Chen Dao, and the soldiers who had already changed their armor and hurried towards the south gate. Although he didn't know what the battle situation was, Deng Zhi knew very well about the number of defenders in Xiangyang, which was far from being comparable to Liu Bei's 4,000 men.

Deng Zhi and Chen Zhi went all the way south, but it was not as smooth as they imagined, and they encountered several groups of patrolling soldiers on the way. Fortunately, Deng Zhi and Yi Zhi had already found a way to pass, otherwise it would be difficult to get to the south gate, but even so, it took a lot of time.

"How did you get here?"

The soldiers at the south gate looked at Chen Zhi's subordinates, who were wearing the same armor as themselves, and directly stopped him: "Tell you Qu Chang to come out and answer?" ”

"Come on!" Chen Zhi answered the call and stepped forward.

The soldier who shouted just now felt that something was wrong, but Chen Zhi noticed it first, and slashed it over: "Do it!" Signal to the lord! ”

As three arrows rose into the air, Chen Zhi entered the flock like a tiger, but in an instant, he scattered the defenders at the city gate. Immediately, he shouted at his soldiers to open the city gate.
