Chapter 9 The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
Jiangling and Jingling are the essence of Nanjun, and now Liu Biao only has Xiangyang as a fortified city. Gao Cheng said with a smile.
Xi Zhicai also showed a smile on his face, and successively attacked Jiangling and Jingling, and the Jingzhou army suffered serious losses, leaving only one Xiangyang city, which could not resist the siege of the Yangzhou army at all, or it would not be long before the territory of Jingzhou would be annexed by the Yangzhou army except for Nanyang County! The territory under Gao Cheng's command reached the area of the heyday of the Chu State.
"Lord, although our army is victorious, the major families in Xiangyang and Lumen Academy still have a lot of strength, and we must guard against them! Moreover, the longer it drags on, the more respite the enemy will have. ”
Xi Zhicai's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The top priority is to order the army to continue to pursue all the way north, and quickly march to the bottom of Xiangyang City, one is to put pressure on the enemy and deter people's hearts, and the other is to control the main road in the north of Xiangyang to avoid Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong or Cao Cao in Yanzhou from interfering!"
Now the princes of the south needless to say, as long as Gao Cheng destroys Liu Biao, he can occupy half of the south. And the princes in the north have been fighting for so many years, and the weak ones have basically been swallowed up by the powerful princes.
Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and defeated Gongsun Zan in the Great War, occupying most of Youzhou and part of Qingzhou. Gradually, there was the momentum of Tiger Step Kanto.
After the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei occupied Liaoxi County and subsequently captured Liaodong.
Because the emperor of Guanzhong is still there, Cao Cao can't coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes like the original timeline, and there is no great righteousness in the Quartet, so there are not so many civil and military talents who defected to him.
However, Xi Zhicai did not despise Cao Cao because of this, according to the information from the embroidered guard, Cao Cao raised the people in Yuzhou on a large scale, and the originally dilapidated Yuzhou has now become much more stable. The Central Plains seems to be the land of four wars, but in addition to Yuan Shao's sweep of the four northern states, Cao Cao, who occupied Yanzhou and Yuzhou, was instead his barrier to stabilize the Central Plains and shield the south.
Tao Qian of Xuzhou in the East had no ambitions, and after Dong Zhuo (Wang Mang) occupied Guanzhong in the West, he rarely developed to the East. Cao Cao's territory seemed to be surrounded by many princes and could be destroyed at any time, but in fact he had no strong enemies on all sides. If he saw that Liu Biao was about to fall, he would most likely send troops to support.
"Cao Cao...... If he dares to send troops into Jingzhou, I will let him have no return!" Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, as the saying goes, the times create heroes, without the conditions of the original timeline, although Cao Cao occupies most of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, he does not have the kind of general trend that sweeps the world.
Especially after Gao Cheng broke through the third-order divine power realm, the seal was not lifted, and he was the invincibility of this world. No matter how strong Cao Cao's ability is, he can't stop Gao Cheng and Yangzhou's million-strong army.
"However, what you said is right, the soldiers are fast, and now Liu Biao should have just received the news that Jiangling and Jingling have been breached, if our army can break through Dangyang and Yicheng in a few days, and reach the city of Xiangyang. It will inevitably shake the heart of the Jingzhou army. Maybe they can be defeated without a fight!"
Gao Cheng suddenly thought of the decision of the Jingzhou family after Liu Biao's illness and death in the original timeline.
Subsequently, he issued an order for Lü Dai, Zhou Tai and others to lead the army to quickly go north, converge with Zhou Yu's army, and attack north along the Han River.
The Jingzhou army had hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangling and Jingling, and now the two cities were breached, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army hurriedly retreated and retreated to Dangyang.
And Dangyang was originally a small city, and there were not many defenders in it, and the guards immediately panicked when they learned the news that Jiangling had been breached from the remnants of the soldiers. The soldiers defending the city were in turmoil.
After Lu Dai, Zhou Tai and others led the army of black pressure to the north, this defender was under heavy pressure and gritted his teeth and made the decision to surrender in Kaesong.
Lü Dai left thousands of soldiers and horses to guard the city, and then led the army to continue north without the slightest stop. At the same time, Zhou Yu also led the sailors against the current. For a time, the Yangzhou army advanced by land and water, and the army plus the auxiliary soldiers and people who transported grain and grass and baggage added up to more than one million.
The army of millions is mighty and terrifying. Gao Cheng, Xi Zhicai and others took the guards to slow down in the rear, and they could receive battle reports from Lu Dai and Zhou Yu every once in a while. Each battle report is how many enemies were killed and how much grain and grass were captured......
A few days later. Zhou Yu and Lu Dai sent a battle report, and Yicheng was breached. At this time, the Yangzhou army was far away from Xiangyang, and there was no obstacle in the middle. An army of millions soon came to the outside of Xiangyang and approached the city.
......
The ancient Han River flowed in a hurry, the faint sunlight reflected the river with a faint golden light, more than 100 huge warships were rampant on the river, and countless elite soldiers were located in the warships, and the momentum was soaring to the sky.
On the bank of the river is a huge city with a city wall of more than ten zhang, and there are many soldiers on the city wall, but these soldiers are soft in their hands and feet, and they look frightened.
"Most of the Jingzhou army was annihilated in Jiangling and Jingling, and the troops in Xiangyang City seem to be insufficient, Liu Biao actually let the strong people who have not gone through much fighting to defend the city, this is preparing to resist to the end!"
On a warship, Gao Cheng used his clairvoyant powers to take in all the situations on the city wall from a few miles away. The Jingzhou army suffered heavy losses, Huang Zhong and Wen Ping were captured, and Liu Biao had no generals who could command the army except for Zhang Yun and Cai Mao.
After Gao Cheng boarded the warship, he sent someone to send Liu Biao a letter of persuasion to surrender, and made conditions that as long as Liu Biao was willing to open the city gate and surrender, his life could be guaranteed. Now it seems that the other party is not ready to accept this kindness.
Xi Zhicai, Zhou Yu, and Xu Chu stood beside Gao Cheng, each of them was in a good mood, Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "Liu Biao is a famous person in the world and has some self-esteem. The reason why he was unwilling to surrender was that in addition to not being able to save face, he should still be waiting for Cao Cao's reinforcements. ”
Xi Zhicai laughed and said: "General Lu has already led an army of 100,000 to Xinye, even if Cao Cao has reinforcements, he will not want to come to Xiangyang in a short time." When Xinye City is broken, the lord can send someone to Liu Biao to send the official seal of the Xinye County Order to cut off the hope of Xiangyang......"
Gao Cheng said lightly: "Gong Jin and the military advisor are right, but don't be so troublesome, I have broken through the bottleneck and reached the realm of supernatural powers, and I can use my supernatural powers again to collapse the walls of Xiangyang City!"
Zhou Yu and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and after the destruction of Jiangling City, they had a guess. Unexpectedly, the lord now directly said his cultivation.
If the news of Gao Cheng's breakthrough to the third order spreads, the old guys in the world who are trapped at the peak of the second order and cannot advance an inch will definitely flock to it. Exploratory information that breaks through the realm, either openly or covertly.
