The Jingzhou army has already made a move, and the potters will naturally not be idle.

At present, in order to stabilize the counties of the Central Plains, the soldiers and horses stationed in Xuchang should not move too much, one is to prevent changes, and the other is to reduce some expenses.

So the potters only sent 50,000 soldiers to Fancheng, and at the same time recruited some generals stationed in the Central Plains to provide them with guidance on the front line.

Guan Yu's plan to break the embankment and flood the city did not succeed, and he himself was wounded, Guan Ping died in battle, the morale of the three armies was exhausted, and he was recalled to Xiangyang in desperation.

This is a great opportunity for potters to turn from defense to offense.

Xiangfan, Xiangfan...... The world always calls these two places together, and there is a reason for that.

These two locations are too close to each other, facing each other across the river.

To be honest, it's not much different from building on the other person's face.

If there is no Han River in between, people from both cities can commute to work in each other's places...... It's just a short walk away from work.

So whether it is Fancheng or Xiangyang, for each other, they are a nail, a nail that the other party has planted in their faces.

For the potters, conquering Xiangyang City at the moment is indeed the first priority.

50,000 horses were mobilized from the rear, plus more than 10,000 people in Fancheng on the front line, almost 60,000 people, which is quite a lot, but it seems that it is still a little difficult to conquer the strong Xiangyang City.

Moreover, the potters also got the information, Pang Tong is currently representing Liu Bei, stationed in Xiangyang City, and has an overview of all the military and political affairs in Xiangyang City.

Although he is still young, after all, he is a rare talent in the world, and he is afraid that it will not be easy to deal with.

"Xiangyang City, in terms of geographical division, shouldn't it be regarded as the sphere of influence of the Cai family and the Kuai family? If Pang Tong came here, would they be willing to be convinced? "The potter wants to attack from the inside of the enemy.

Tian Feng has also come to Fancheng from Xuchang at this moment, and after listening to the pottery merchant's question, he immediately said: "The power of the Cai and Kuai families today is far worse than when Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou. The Kuai family will not be embarrassed by him. ”

The potter rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment, and said, "The city of Xiangyang City is strong, if they are monolithic in the city, our army is really not easy to fight...... Is there a possibility of plotting against Cai Mao? ”

Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this.

"Why did the prime minister suddenly remember this? Plotting against Cai Mao? This seems unlikely, he is also a famous house in Xiangyang, how can he be easily rebelled? This is ridiculous. ”

The potter also knew that this was indeed unlikely, but in history, Cai Mao did demote Cao Cao.

But there are several prerequisites.

In history, Cao Cao's army approached Xiangyang and forced Cai Mao to surrender the city, a large part of the reason was because Cai Mao and Cao Cao were old acquaintances, and at that time Liu Bei and Liu Qi tried to split Jingzhou, and there was only one court in the world, which was in the hands of Cao Cao.

And at that time, Cai Mao was in charge of all the land in Jingzhou except Jiangxia, and the chips were also quite heavy, so Cao Cao couldn't help but treat him well.

And it turns out that Cao Cao treats Cai Mao, an old friend, and he is indeed quite caring.

But now in this situation, first, Jingzhou's main strength is not in Cai Mao's hands, Cai Mao has no bargaining chips in his hands, and second, there are two Han dynasties in the world, and Cai Mao has served the Han court in Jingzhou for several years, for what reason, for what reason?

is that his surname Cai is not familiar with the surname Tao, this is the most important!

If you don't know me, what are you fooling you with? If you turn around and kill me, who's to blame?

It seems that this road is dead.

Tian Feng touched the beard on his chin and said, "No matter what, let's attack the city first, try the catties of Xiangyang City, and then it's not too late to make a conclusion." ”

Tao Shang said: "Over there in Xuchang, the stone-throwing machine from the last war is currently being transported to the front line, and after the things arrive, try to attack once, and then see how the situation is." ”

……

Ten days later, Xuchang sent a large number of siege equipment to Fancheng, so the pottery merchant's soldiers and horses began to march towards Fancheng.

The generals transferred from Xuchang also included Lu Bu this time.

Lu Bu took the initiative to ask the potter: "Prime Minister, the last general will ask for battle and go to attack Xiangyang City!" Share worries for the prime minister! ”

Seeing Lu Bu asking for battle, the potter couldn't help but hesitate.

"Zhangren, although your riding skills are strong, the city of Xiangyang is tall...... I'm afraid this battle may not be what you're good at, right? ”

Lu Bu laughed: "Prime Minister rest assured, Bu used to fight with people on the grassland in the past, and everyone in the world thought that I, Lu Bu, could only fight in the field, but in fact, Bu Nai was omnipotent, except for horse warfare...... Foot battles, car battles, and siege battles are all good at what I am good at. ”

The potter couldn't help but pout when he heard this.

Look at the cowhide blowing.

Still all-powerful?

But for now, let Lu Bu test it first, it's not impossible.

"Then the father-in-law will command the battle, and allow you to attack the city, but don't go too deep, if something is wrong, withdraw the troops and come back, and we will discuss again."

"No!"

……

The next day, Lu Bu was the main general of the siege and led the soldiers of the three armies to the city of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang City is really a big city, the city is extremely strong, not only tall and heavy, and the moat is much wider than the ordinary city, enough to be called the first important town in the north of Jingzhou.

Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu's side, looking at Xiangyang City, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Wen Hou, this city doesn't look very easy to fight."

Lu Bu laughed: "Today, there are very few people who can be called my opponents, only Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and a few others, and now these people are either dead or fleeing, just Jingzhou Southern Thieves, how can they endure me?" ”

After saying that, he saw Lu Bu with a cold face, thrust Fang Tian's halberd into the ground, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "Order the three armies to beat the drums, and I will personally go forward to attack Xiangyang City!" ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Kill chickens with a knife? The Marquis of Morauwen went in person, and the last general was willing to go to the city to attack first. ”

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan really deserves to be a good son of Bingzhou, so if you don't care, then the heavy responsibility of leading the attacking army will be handed over to you later!" ”

After saying that, he saw Lu Bu leading at the herald behind him: "Order the three armies, first use a stone thrower to bombard the city!" ”

"No!"

With the order of the herald, the stone throwers of the Jinling army began to bombard the boulders on the walls of Xiangyang.

On the city wall at this time, Pang Tong had already sent people to erect a big shield to resist the opponent's stone-throwing attack.

He calculated that if the enemy army wanted to attack Xiangyang City, it would first use the stone throwing machine, as long as it could resist this round of stone throwing, when the enemy army attacked the city in a big way, there would be nothing to fear.

In order to boost the morale of the three armies, Pang Tong personally climbed the city tower and presided over the battle.

This time, Pang was united to Xiangyang City, as well as several brave generals from Jingzhou, including Zhang Fei and Wei Yan.

Seeing that Pang Tong was young and in a high position in Situ, but he also came to the city in person, not afraid of the danger of the enemy's artillery stones, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh to Guan Yu, and said: "Second brother, I don't want this Pang Tong to be so good even though he is young, and he can climb the city tower in person, putting his own life and death behind, but it is not comparable to leisure." ”

Although Guan Yu is injured at the moment, he has not rested, and he also climbed the city tower to help.

His eyes are above the top, and he doesn't show any interest in the young Pang Tong, and it can even be said that he basically doesn't look at Pang Tong very seriously.

At this moment, he was staring closely at the Jinling Army in the distance.

"Lu Bu? Third brother, this time the opponent is Lu Bu! It seems that it is a good time for you and me to make a name for themselves! ”
