Chapter 276: Xiangyang City is broken

He spotted a ladder and stepped forward.

"Dodge, dodge..." He shouted loudly.

The soldiers in front of him all gave way to him and protected him with shields.

Xu Chu rushed up the ladder and ran towards it. That's right, it's flying. From the moment he stepped on the ladder, he was like a machine, moving forward bravely without stopping for a moment. The boulders and arrows that fell from above were also blocked by him.

"Stop him!"

"Stop him..." Zhang Yun, the general stationed on the city tower, yelled at the surrounding soldiers.

Whoosh...

More and more arrows were shot at Xu Chu.

Even though he was quick and able to dodge arrows, there were too many arrows and he couldn't move, which made it a bit difficult. He threw away the long knife and held a shield in his left hand and a short knife in his right.

Bell, bell, bell...

With such cooperation, they barely blocked the shot of the arrows.

Taking advantage of the enemy's exchange of arrows, Xu Chu continued to climb up.

"This is the enemy's fierce general Xu Chu, stop him quickly and release the arrows! Throw stones! Zhang Yun was in a hurry.

He recognized the identity of his opponent.

Zhang Liao was still worried that Xu Chu would be injured, so he personally ran to the moat and ordered the soldiers below: "Archers, cover Xu Chu!" Shieldmen, pikemen, keep up quickly! ”

Whoosh...

Soldiers on both sides are shooting arrows.

The enemy soldiers who originally shot Xu Chu were suppressed by the soldiers under the city, and there were many casualties.

Xu Chu seized this opportunity and climbed up again. At this time, he was very close to the castle tower, and he was only one foot away from being able to go up. In normal times, he could jump to the castle tower with a single jump. But now the enemy is all standing on it, armed with spears, ready to intercept him. Although Xu Chu was brave, he didn't dare to jump against those spears, so he could only climb step by step.

Zhang Yun, the general of Jingzhou, held a knife, stood on top of Xu Chu's head, and shouted: "Xu Chu, there is a general guarding here." You can't get up, so get back quickly, lest you die!" ”

"Just you?"

Xu Chu was really too lazy to look at him, carrying a shield and moving forward bravely.

Clang!

Zhang Yun's long knife slashed down and struck Xu Chu's shield. With Xu Chu's bravery, the shield in his hand didn't even tremble, and he made a backhand knife to block Zhang Yun's long knife.

Bell, bell, bell...

Xu Chu climbed a few steps in a row and rushed up to the city tower. The soldiers on the tower resisted, but none of them were his opponents. It's a pity that Xu Chu didn't use his own weapons, otherwise these shrimp soldiers and crab generals would have died even worse.

Even so, they were powerless.

Zhang Liao saw that Xu Chu had climbed up, and was both surprised and delighted: "Brothers, General Xu has already climbed the city tower. Hurry up and follow, rendezvous with General Xu, kill the enemy army, and open the city gates! ”

"Kill..."

All the soldiers besieging the city charged as hard as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Xu Huang and Cao Hong transferred another 3,000 elites to assist in the siege.

Bell...

On the city tower, Xu Chu and Zhang Yun faced each other. Xu Chu didn't use his own weapon, it was just an ordinary war knife, but when he faced Zhang Yun, it was still very easy and completely crushed.

Burst!

After only five rounds of fighting, Xu Chu beheaded Zhang Yun.

"Ahh The general is dead.... The soldiers defending the city were shocked.

Xu Chu held Zhang Yun's head and shouted: "This general is Xu Chu, Zhang Yun is in my hands, and he was beheaded by me before he even held it for five rounds." If you dare to resist, you will be killed! ”

"Why don't you surrender quickly?"

While Xu Chu shouted, more and more Cao soldiers climbed the city tower to cheer Xu Chu on.

The Jingzhou army, which was already cowardly, retreated one after another when they saw Zhang Yun killed and Xu Chu was strong. for fear of becoming the second Zhang Yun.

Xu Chu shouted again: "I order you to lay down your arms and return to the court!" Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

Bang, clang...

No one thought that the Jingzhou army would really lay down its arms.

As soon as Zhang Yun died, he lost the courage to fight.

"Hahaha..." Xu Chu laughed a few times and ordered the soldiers around him: "Disarm them." Go to another group of people and open the city gates. ”

"No."

Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Cao Hong at the bottom were all dumbfounded.

Tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops were in the city, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have wondered if the enemy was cheating. Give somebody a dose of his own medicine?

Quack quack...

The gates ahead were opened.

Cao Hong took the lead in ordering: "Rush in, rush in!" ”

"Kill..."

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao also shouted.

The 30,000 infantry troops and 20,000 iron cavalry outside the city rushed into Xiangyang City together.

After Xu Chu killed Zhang Yun, he captured the enemy troops in the city and let the soldiers who rushed up to the city tower take over the city tower. At this point, the southern city of Xiangyang was broken, the door was opened, and the various departments of the Cao army could easily enter the city.

Imagine, with the elite of the Cao army, can the Jingzhou army resist?

...............

After half a pillar of incense, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, etc., entered the school field in the city, defeated the more than 60,000 garrisons there, and occupied the state capital, controlling the important terrain in the city. It can be regarded as a complete occupation of Xiangyang.

But from beginning to end, he did not see Liu Biao, his family, or Liu Biao's subordinates.

"Report..."

All the generals were in the hall of the Assassin's Mansion, wondering where Liu Biao had gone. A soldier ran in: "Generals, our battalion has come to report that tens of thousands of enemy troops have appeared and burned our grain and grass. The soldiers in our battalion were besieged and annihilated. ”

"What?!"

The crowd was shocked.

"Report..." Before they could react, what was going on, another soldier ran in and said, "Generals, Cai Mao's department stationed in Jingcheng has joined forces with the tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops who attacked our camp, and is now coming towards Xiangyang City..." ”

"It's good to come!" Xu Chu said viciously: "These soft eggs are finally going to fight with us..." ”

"Wait..." Xu Huang said: "Why do I feel wrong? The Jingzhou army has been defeated and lost Xiangyang City, how dare they come back and send them to death? ”

Zhang Liao said: "And the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang, isn't there only 100,000?" How did we capture tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands? Could it be that Liu Biao's army is all here? ”

"yes, what the hell is going on?" Cao Hong didn't know why.

"Not good! We've been tricked! Xu Huang called a team of personal soldiers and hurriedly ordered: "Go to the city and see if there is any food!" After the discovery, come and report it quickly! ”

"No..."

The soldiers went to investigate.

Soon after, he came back and reported to Xu Huangyu: "General Yu, there is not even a grain of rice left in the city..." ”

"Sure enough!"

Xu Huang sat down and said, "The enemy is trying to trap us!" Within half a day, Liu Biao's army of more than 100,000 people will be unable to drain the waters of the siege of Xiangyang City. The army of our battalion has been defeated, and the food has been taken away by Liu Biao. Cai Mao of Jingcheng joined forces with Liu Biao to attack my Xiangyang. The food we carry with us is only enough to eat for a day. What happens tomorrow? ”
