So even if Niu Jin and Cao Zhen are indeed unwilling in their hearts, they also know that this fact is in front of them, and they have to accept it if they accept it, and they have to accept it if they don't accept it!

Cao Ren greeted the two of them, and then everyone went to Gan Ning's residence. Obviously, he still has something to say to everyone, even if he has just captured Luoxian now, whether it is the Yanzhou army or the Jiangdong army, they have lost some. In the living room, Cao Ren said a few words to everyone, of course, he didn't think it was useless, but others didn't necessarily think so. And Lu Su also said a few rare words, although he didn't think that the war was going well, and he was not so satisfied, but now,

At least the city has been taken, Luo County has been obtained, and the goal has been achieved, even if it is good. As for thinking that it is easy to take the city, and thinking about how many casualties you will have, this is almost impossible. At least Lu Su knew that compared with the time when Xiangnan was still beneficial to Yang, it was indeed different, after all, Gan Ning was not Huang Xu, let alone Mi Fang. If it's these two people, then it's still possible, but if it's Gan Ning, it's impossible-

Gan Ning retreated, but he was different from others, they either retreated to Linxiang or went to Jiangxia, but he went directly to Jiangling with his men and horses. Because he knows that now his lord is really short of people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is short of soldiers and major generals, after all, the power of Jiangling is there, and there is no need to say more.

If Mi Fang knew that it was useless for him to go to Jiangling because he was self-aware, then Gan Ning knew. Going to Gangneung by yourself still has some effect. Moreover, Luo County was lost, and as the chief general personally appointed by his own lord, he naturally had the obligation to personally inform him and accept the punishment of his lord. Of course, Gan Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with him. Therefore, it is estimated that his father-in-law will not punish himself.

But going to Jiangling is also imperative, he understands that it is enough for Huang Zhong to be present in Linxiang, whether he will go or not. Doesn't matter. As for Jiangxia, there is no need to go there, after all, there is no war in that place, and there is nothing to do if you go there by yourself-

So. I only had to go to Jiangling, even if my lord didn't order me how to be, but at that time before, wasn't I a guard in Luo County, so my lord was naturally not good at how he was. But at this time, now that Luo County is lost, he can be regarded as free, even if he does not have the order of his lord. But I'm going to Gangneung, so it's a bit useful to say that I'm going there, so it's the best plan to go there.

Therefore. He embarked on the road to Jiangling without hesitation, and he didn't find anyone catching up behind him, Gan Ningxin said, just rely on your Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army to catch up with him? If that's the case, I've been in Jingzhou for so many years! Is. It's not that Gan Ning looks down on them, it's really even if there is such a top strategist as Lu Su. But with his familiarity with Jingzhou, he can not be as strong as himself.

Although Gan Ning is not from Jingzhou. But he has lived here for too long, and he has been mixed for a long time, and there is something he is not familiar with. Especially the waterway, not to mention, whether it is water or land, he is too familiar with it.

And look at Cao Ren and them, Lu Su still knows a little, and the others are really blind, they are all northerners, and Jingzhou has not been here a few times, so how familiar is it.

So Gan Ning went directly to Jiangling, for him, only where he can go there is his own use, and other places are not good! So even if he was told by his own lord, he had to go, and there was no war anywhere else, only Gangneung.

When Huang Zhong knew the news that Luo County had also been lost, he said in his heart that although the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army had taken Luo County, after so much time, and with Gan Xingba's ability, it was estimated that the casualties of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army would not be too few. At least Huang Xu and Mi Fang can't be compared to him.

So Huang Zhong doesn't know whether the current Cao Ren and Lu Su still want to come to Hunan or not. After all, it is even more difficult to attack here than Luo County, unless they have some perfect plan, but this Huang Zhong doesn't think so, if there is, why didn't he come before, he has to come now? ――

It's not that Huang Zhong underestimated the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, he also knew that in the end, they relied on Guo Huai and Zhang Liao, plus those few, to break through Luo County. However, in terms of defending the city, Huang Zhong is more powerful than Gan Ning, so he may not be able to resist the union of Guo Huai and Zhang Liao. But five at once, this Huang Zhong didn't dare to make too much of it, and he had to see it when the time came. However, he also knew that it was impossible for the other party to come five generals at once unless it was absolutely necessary.

This time there are five people up, and if you win, people may also say that you are not victorious. But if it is defeated, it will become a joke, so Huang Zhong knows that Cao Ren and Lu Su will never do that unless they are forced to do so, even if it is themselves, in fact, it is the same, so let alone them.

Therefore, Huang Zhong didn't think much about it except for asking Tanma to pay close attention to Luo County's movements. is still the same words, "the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth", he is indeed not afraid of Cao Ren and Lu Su at all, even if they have lost several counties now, but this is really nothing-

After the first temptation, the Liangzhou army was in no hurry to attack Jiangling, which was unanimously agreed by Ma Chao and everyone, and it was better to rest for two more days first. And then again.

As a result, as soon as Ma Chao rested like this, another three days passed, until the fourth day, he asked Ma Dai to lead the troops to attack again. He didn't want to do this, but Gangneung was too difficult to capture. There are so many people in this city, and they are not waste, even if you are a little stronger in the Liangzhou army, but in front of such a tall and sturdy city, it is still not enough to see. So in fact, even Ma Chao has no bottom in his heart. Whether or not you can capture Gangneung is too important.

Liu Bei has Jiangling, and he has always been able to shrink in the city and compete with himself. Once he loses Gangneung City, then basically he has nothing to compete with himself. Even if he still has territory in South County. Nanyang also has them, and even Zhuge Kongming is in Nanyang, but Ma Chao is not afraid of them at all. Even if he knew that Zhuge Liang did have two falsehoods, his own people were not vegetarians-

When Huo Jun, who was at the head of Jiangling City, saw Ma Dai leading troops to attack again, he was indeed in a good mood. The heart said that you Ma Bozhan is finally here again, and your Ma Mengqi is finally entering the army again. Speaking of which, the temporary truce of the Liangzhou Army before did make him a little lonely, of course, Huo Jun was not arrogant. I'm the best in the world, isn't that a joke. It's just that in front of so many people in the Liangzhou army, he thinks. There are a lot of people on your side, so you may not be able to resist it.

This Jiangling is different from all the cities that he guarded before, not only the largest fortified city in Jingzhou, but also one of the largest cities in the world. If the cities like that in the past were all fortified cities, then Gangneung can be said to be a fortified castle among the fortified cities, which really cannot be compared.

After all, the state office is in Gangneung. Since Liu Biao dared to put the state pastor's mansion here, it can be seen that Jiangling is not ordinary. And even if the city is not so tall and strong. But the Governor's Mansion is here, so can there be any problems with Gangneung City?

Regardless of Si's subordinate Chang'an and Luoyang, it is also counted. Chengdu in Yizhou, Yecheng in Jizhou, Xu County in Yuzhou, now called Xudu, Jianye in Yangzhou, including Jiangling in Jingzhou, etc., it can be said that these cities are the world's first-class fortified cities, not only with many people, but also because the city is tall and strong, and the moat is very deep......

Everyone in the world knows this, so if you want to break through such a city, unless you have a complete strategy, otherwise, it is impossible to succeed without paying some price, and they all know this Ma Chao.

Ma Dai led his troops to the tall Jiangling City, Huo Jun looked at it and said, "Okay! Brothers, the enemy is coming, kill me! ”

"Kill!"

……

There are so many people, and the first time the Liangzhou army tried to attack, they were repelled without much effort, so it can be said that whether it is Liu Bei's Han army at the head of the city or Liu Qi's Jingzhou army, they are all full of confidence. After all, they all have the advantage, so what are they afraid of? ――

Huo Jun mobilized the confidence and morale of the soldiers at the head of the city, and Ma Dai led the troops to climb the ladder, and immediately encountered fierce resistance from the opponent's soldiers.

Ma Dai was sweating profusely, and said in his heart that this was too fucking hard, so he couldn't give Huo Jun so many people! When there weren't so many people before, I wasn't so tricky, and the previous city wasn't like Gangneung. But look at it now, don't say anything, it's all tears!

Ma Dai really has this idea, in his opinion, this Huo Jun you can't give him enough men and horses, otherwise, even if he takes the city, he will have to pay a very strict price. Otherwise, if you want to take the city easily, dream! Even Mr. Bonghyo doesn't have any good plans, let alone others. In this regard, Ma Dai really has little confidence. After all, with such a tall Gangneung, how can it be easily broken through the city?

Digging tunnels? That's impossible, let's just say that with an experienced general like Huo Jun, it is estimated that when you are about to dig through, you will have to be flooded or something to destroy you-

Yes, maybe you think that the other party won't find out, otherwise there will be no movement, but that Huo Jun is bad, he must wait for you to succeed before dealing with you. Or after you simply dig and lead the troops in, he will deal with you again, and you can only be yin by someone!

So this authentic or something, it's definitely not going to work. If this can break Jiangling, then all the people in Liu Bei's Han army will really become a joke in the world.

So if this doesn't work, what else is there? Flooding? Fire attack? Flooding is not impossible, it's not that there is no water next to Jiangling, but it is still next to the Yangtze River, it is indeed not far, but you can't go to the Yangtze River to flood Jiangling. You don't think that you can control the water, if you don't have it, if you have more, something big will happen, so if you don't use water, try not to go. And for the sake of the common people, there are really few people who go to water attack.

Otherwise, why there were so many sieges, but there were not many times of flooding, it was not that there was no such condition, but it was really not a last resort, and no one would use it.

At least Ma Chao won't do that, and others basically won't. When he was in Nanzheng, Hanzhong, Ma Chao really had no choice but to use water to force Zhang Lu, after all, he knew how much Zhang Lu was like a person. So this is indeed not flooded, and it also made Zhang Lu surrender.

But against Liu Bei, Ma Chao will never do that, he will have to defeat him with real knives and guns. If the two armies are facing each other, this may not be able to be flooded. But for such a city, it's really not good. Ma Chao didn't want to do something like that, so of course this was impossible.

Therefore, now there is only one way left to storm Jiangling, and there is no other way, otherwise Ma Chao would not be like this. But he also understands that he doesn't know how much to lose, and he may not be able to take this Gangneung City. (To be continued)
