Chapter 843: Capture Xiangyang
In the urn city, Guan Yu and Wei Yan had already packed up their soldiers and horses, waiting for the Jinling army to automatically send them to the door from the west gate.
Pang Tong's resourcefulness is indeed good, since he heard that Cai Mao returned to Yicheng, he has begun to doubt in his heart, others don't know the depth of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue and others, but Pang Tong, as the nephew of Pang Degong of the Jingzhou clan, is naturally very clear about the abilities of these two families.
Cai Mao was relegated to Zhangling County as the county guard, which was originally Pang Tong's idea, and what kind of impact this operation would have on the Cai family, Pang Tong is also a member of the Jingzhou Shi group, so it is naturally very clear.
It was precisely because he knew that Cai Mao's heart was unbalanced, so this time Cai Mao lost Zhangling County and withdrew to Yicheng, and Pang Tong became wary of him.
He didn't squeak on the surface, but secretly sent someone to start monitoring Cai Mao's every move.
As for the collusion between Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, it was also secretly investigated by Pang Tong little by little.
Pang Tong took the initiative and secretly groped to wipe out the Xiangyang generals who colluded with Kuaiyue.
Immediately afterwards, he interrogated these generals overnight, and in the end he got the context of the matter out of their mouths, and asked Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to arrange ambushes in the city, ready to start ambushing the soldiers and horses who came to sneak attack.
Pang Tong's series of measures were implemented, but Guan Yu was shocked.
In Guan Yu's heart, he has always regarded Pang Tong as a useless person, but he is young but he has a big position by virtue of clever speculation, and he has no real talent.
But this time, after seeing through Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's scheme, Pang Tong really surprised Guan Yu once, and it was the first time that he faced up to the true ability of this ugly young man.
Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he is also heroic, Pang Tong is capable, he will naturally not have the same attitude as before, although he did not admit it, but in the ambush battle arranged this time, he was already willing to obey Pang Tong's military orders.
Originally, the ambush set up by Pang Tong in the city this time could defeat the Jinling army, but the potter still kept an eye on it.
When he sent Zhuge Jin to Zhangling County to meet Cai Mao, he specially wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Xuchang City, and Zhuo Guojia and others helped analyze it.
And Guo Jia was in Qufu City, he had met Pang Tong, and knew that this kid had good means, and after discussing with Chen Deng and Xun Yu, the three of them jointly wrote a letter to the potter, explaining their views.
The three top sages in the world have always believed that the pottery merchants and Cai Mao have been fighting to sweep Xiangyang this time, but they are afraid that they will not succeed.
The potter took the advice of the three, so he made a strategic adjustment, and changed the inside and outside to attack Xiangyang City, in order to take advantage of the opportunity of Pang Tong to ambush his own soldiers and horses, and attack Xiangyang City.
At the west gate of Xiangyang City, the soldiers in the city lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate in order to introduce them to the urn city.
And Zhao Yun took this opportunity to occupy the city gate and the drawbridge tightly!
Now that you've let it out, don't take it.
Guan Yu was in the city, and Zhang Fei and others were still thinking about how to ambush the Jinling army, when they suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing, thinking that the enemy army had rushed into the urn city.
But soon, they realized that something was wrong.
After a short time, the scout came back to report that the Jinling army had occupied the city gate and climbed the city wall, but did not rush into the city.
Guan Yu frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and was suddenly startled, and said, "It's not good!" The potter actually used a trick in the middle of a trick! ”
Although Zhang Fei is irritable, he has a good background, is quite knowledgeable, and is extremely reasonable.
He heard the strings and said hurriedly: "Second brother, the pottery thief is really scheming, he has already figured out that we have seen through Cai Mao and his conspiracy, so he changed his tactics, first attack my city, occupy the city gate, and then lead the troops to attack the city after clearing the ambush on the city tower!" ”
Guan Yu said nervously: "That's right, if he really lets him succeed, I'm afraid Xiangyang City won't be able to hold it!" ”
"Second brother, what should we do then?"
"You can't continue to ambush now, otherwise Xiangyang City is in danger, third brother, you immediately lead the infantry army and crossbowmen, and go to the city with General Wei Yan and others, and recapture the city gate for your brother!"
The generals of Jingzhou acted separately, but unfortunately, this time their reaction was slow.
Because there was no timely protection in the outer city, when the soldiers and horses in the inner city rushed from the city wall to the outer city to reinforce, many Jinling soldiers, including some Jinling fierce generals who rushed to the front from the rear, had already ascended to the top of the city and began to spread and fight on the head of Xiangyang City.
Among them, the most eye-catching performance is the infantry general of the Jinling Army, Xu Chu!
The road at the head of the city is not wide, and there are about four people walking side by side, Xu Chu did not wear battle armor, exposed his chest, brandished a horse chopping knife, and rampaged, like a bulldozer, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army were lifted one by one towards the city tower.
On the city wall, they are all hand-to-hand, flesh-and-blood fighting, no number of people and formations, they are not of great use, what they fight is bravery and morale!
And this is Xu Chu's strength, in such a narrow place, with Xu Chu's ability, he can be a hundred enemies.
Xu Chu's might made the Jingzhou army frightened, and they were fighting to see a general coming with a sword.
Xu Chu narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Who is coming?" ”
Wei Yan didn't answer, he raised his knife and slashed, saying, "I am your Weng!" (I am your ancestor!) )”
Xu Chu listened to Wei Yan's words, and immediately became furious,
Another one to take advantage of?
Look for death!
The two met in a narrow way, and the brave won, and they all used war knives, attacking and killing back and forth, fighting hard with one knife at a time, and the knives and knives did their best.
This kind of spelling is naturally unfavorable for Wei Yan.
When it comes to strength, there are not many people in the world who can compare with Xu Chu, if it is a horse battle, Wei Yan may still be able to fight with Xu Chu, but now it is a foot battle, Wei Yan's strength is worse than Xu Chu, and there is almost no effect on skills.
After fighting for more than 20 knives, Wei Yan began to panting, and was shocked by Xu Chu to retreat again and again, and even the tiger's mouth began to bleed, he gritted his teeth and fought to the death.
At this moment, a strong big hand supported Wei Yan's shoulder.
I saw Zhang Fei holding a short knife and striding in front of Wei Yan.
"Wen Chang and stand down, watch me fight him!"
When Xu Chu saw Zhang Fei, he couldn't help but smile: "Zhang Yide, aren't you used to using spears?" How can I learn from my grandfather and use a knife now? ”
Zhang Fei snorted and said, "Naturally, you have to use a pig-killing knife to kill pigs!" ”
Xu Chu snorted: "Look for death!" ”
The two roared and raised their knives in their hands, and a bloody battle began on the city.
When it comes to strength, both of them are on the same level, and the two fight each other, just like a tiger fighting an evil dragon, and no one is willing to take a step back.
At the same time, Guan Yu, who led the cavalry to seize the city gate, was also blocked in front of the city gate by the trapped camp.
