Of course, some people may say that ordinary strategists can defend the city, let alone top strategists.

But that's not what it says, why? Because if Man Zhong is a strategist and a lobbyist, then he is a strategist and a lobbyist, but if you ask him to guard the city and lead the troops to fight, then he is a military general. At least before in the city, the Yanzhou soldiers definitely didn't think that he was a scribe, a strategist, or a lobbyist, he was just a military general defending the city, and the soldiers had no other feelings.

But if it were a pure strategist guarding the city, then the soldiers would never think so. Even if the strategist may be more powerful and his skills are better, it can give people the feeling that the other party is still a scribe, at least the Yanzhou sergeant will have such thoughts.

And Cao Cao left full of favors to guard Xiangyang, it is indeed not that there is no reason. If it is really a military general who defends the city on his own side, of course, it is impossible not to have it. But if you really want to find someone who can be literate and martial, at least under his account now, among the people who came to Jingzhou with him, you really have to be full of favor. Yes, he also wants Guan Yu to stay and defend the city, but people have to be willing to do this, so it can't be Guan Yu guarding the city, isn't it-

A day later, the Sun-Liu coalition army continued to attack Xiangyang City, for Dong Xi and Zhou Cang, yesterday's battle, although their lord did not praise the two, but did not criticize. So both of them knew in their hearts that their lords were satisfied, at least yesterday's war. They were satisfied, at least not how they were disappointed.

But yesterday in the final analysis, it was just a tentative attack, even if the two of them tried their best, but they haven't fought yet. But from today onwards, it will be different, whether it is in Dong Xi's heart. In Zhou Cang's heart, they all understood that it was indeed time to fight. As for when will Xiangyang be broken. Neither of them knows, but what they do know is that if they don't try, they don't try. Then there is no great hope for so. They still know this.

Looking at Xiangyang City, the incomparably tall city wall, Dong Xi also had to sigh in his heart. At least the Qichun city wall is definitely not as high as Xiangyang, but isn't the allied army still blocked under the city by the Liangzhou army, and they can't enter an inch. So it can be seen from this that what can be seen, that is, the city wall is tall or not. It's low, in general. It will definitely not play a decisive role in the war. However, the defensive power inside the city must not and cannot be ignored.

At least the defending force inside the city can definitely play a decisive role in battle.

So compared with Xiangyang and Qichun, in terms of the number of guards, it is much worse, so at this time, Dong Xi is indeed full of confidence, 5,000 people to defend the city, his own more than 100,000 people, naturally can be captured, but it is a matter of time. He hoped that the sooner the better, but the actual situation, what it was, who knows.

As for Zhou Cang, he really didn't have as many thoughts as Dong Xi, but he didn't think about it, he thought more simply, that is, he couldn't live up to his lord's expectations of himself. There are many people in the Jiangdong Army, they do have an advantage over their own side, but their own side is not bad, at least in terms of combat power, they are still slightly stronger than them. Don't underestimate this, what this point represents, it can definitely not be said to be a little bit.

Both of them were gearing up at this time, and then with the soldiers in their respective armies, they rushed to Xiangyang City and launched a second attack on Xiangyang, this time not tentatively, but with all their might. Now that "either you die, or I die", the so-called "no concessions on the spot, no mercy in raising hands", that's it.

Once again, he saw Dong Xi and Zhou Cang attacking the city with their own soldiers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he commanded the soldiers to start defending against the enemy. Don't look at Man Pet, he really has no experience in defending the city. After all, he usually goes out with his lord, so how can he have any chance to defend the city. So it's okay for you to let him lead the troops to the battle, but the experience of defending the city must be much worse.

But even so, after yesterday's battle, his experience has naturally increased a little, and practice is the most able to increase experience, so Manzhong has increased his experience. Of course, his little experience in defending the city can't be compared with the experience of Dong Xi and Zhou Cang. However, because of the advantage of defending the city and his good skills, he can still resist the attack of Sun Liu's coalition army for the time being. It's just that after a long time, it is estimated that the full pet will not be able to return to the sky.

After all, he was facing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, not hundreds of thousands of cabbages, in fact, even if it was hundreds of thousands of cabbages, it was definitely not a decimal, let alone a living person.

At this time, Man Zhong raised the ring head sword, and then shouted, "Brothers, don't let the enemy take advantage of the opportunity to block the enemy's attack!" ”

"Kill!"

……

Don't look at the Yanzhou soldiers on the head of the city, there are only five thousand, but the voice of chanting in unison is not like five thousand, it feels like more than five thousand. In fact, if you think about it, no matter what you say, you can't lose your own momentum. As for this, whether it is the Yanzhou Army or the soldiers of the Sun-Liu coalition army, they all understand and know very clearly.

Dong Xi and Zhou Cang under the city saw that they were full of favorites, and they were not to be outdone. also shouted two sentences, which made the Jiangdong soldiers and Liu Bei soldiers improve their morale, and the two of them directly led the troops to attack. Although I didn't expect to break Xiangyang today. But we must give the Yanzhou sergeants a dismount, so that they don't dare to underestimate their own coalition forces.

Full Pet shouted, "It's a good time!" ”

Then he shouted to his own soldiers; "Brothers, the time has come to prove the strength of our Yanzhou army, let the enemy army take a good look and see that our army is not easy to bully! Hold the city and don't let the enemy attack the city! ”

This is basically what every lord who guards the city must shout. This is indispensable. As for Dong Xi and Zhou Cang, who were still leading troops to attack under the city, when they heard this, they pursed their lips with disdain in their hearts. I secretly said in my heart, although you are full of favor, it is not impossible to defend the city, but how long do you think you can resist your own coalition forces. It's two, three, and four days. Still is......

Dong Xi and Zhou Cang, of course, don't think that Man Pet can always hold Xiangyang with 5,000 people. Not to mention that he is full of favor, it is estimated that even if it is someone else, it will still be like that. The ending is not something that anyone can change, maybe it can be changed, but it is definitely not his favorite-

At this time, there are two words in the mind of the full pet, keep! No matter what you say, even if it's only 5,000 people. But it can't be two days without holding on. He Sun and Liu allied with more than 100,000 soldiers, but how can he say that he has no problem resisting for two days.

And what about the Yanzhou sergeant. They saw that their main general, it can also be said that he cannot be regarded as a pure general, such a person, full of favor in the city, commanding everyone to resist the attack of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, it can be said that the morale of the soldiers will definitely not drop at all, but is still slowly improving.

In their opinion, he, the main general, can be regarded as doing his best. Of course, the generals who can share weal and woe with the soldiers are naturally supported by them, such as full favor. Even if they knew that Man Chong was not a pure military general, the Yanzhou sergeant did not think that he was a scribe, but he was indeed not much different from a military general who guarded the city.

Therefore, what the Yanzhou soldiers admired was not that he fought as hard as the soldiers at the head of the city and guarded the city, but that he was not a pure military general, but he could fight and command the battle at the head of the city like the generals.

So even the full pet is so hard, what else can't the Yanzhou sergeant fight, it's true, are the Yanzhou sergeants afraid of death, afraid, who is not afraid. But at this time, I'm afraid it's useful, it's useless, so it's still the same thing, there is no one who is not afraid of death, but there is a time when he is not afraid of death. For example, at this time, the Yanzhou sergeant is already not afraid of life and death, originally, hundreds of thousands of people are surrounded outside the city, and there are 5,000 people on your side, so the so-called head-on is a knife, and the head is also a knife, what do you say?

At least the Yanzhou sergeant will never allow his own side to be so cowardly, so he would rather go and be stabbed head-on, and he will never go to the turtle with a shrunken head. Here in Xiangyang City, they would rather die vigorously than live in a nest, at least not so.

Under the city of Xiangyang, although the corpses of Sun and Liu's soldiers are not piled up, there are more and more. If it goes on like this, it will be more than the height of the ladder, and it is really only a matter of time. However, Sun Ce and Liu Bei will never allow their soldiers to continue fighting like this. Judging from their experience, it was time for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding...... Dingdingding......"

The sound of Ming Jin sounded under Xiangyang City again, and after Dong Xi and Zhou Cang heard it, it can be said that their mood was very complicated. They are also a little contradictory, in fact, they hope to hear Mingjin earlier, for example, at this time, but also hope not to hear Mingjin.

said that they wanted to hear the sound of Mingjin, naturally because the casualties of their own soldiers were increasing, even if Dong Xi and Zhou Cang understood that as long as they attacked the city, it would be impossible to avoid it, but they still hoped to reduce casualties, this is for sure.

As for saying that they don't want to hear the sound of gold, aside from their own casualties, they naturally hope to keep attacking, maybe they can reach the top of the city soon, it is not impossible. However, in fact, they belong to the fans of the authorities, at least their lords Sun Ce and Liu Bei, the two of them can see it much more clearly than them.

If you continue to attack like this early today, you will not climb to the top of the city, and you will only get more and more casualties among your own soldiers. (To be continued......)
