Chapter 392: Arriving at Xiangyang

But he said....

When Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan conspired to take Kuailiang, and finally divided their troops.

Outside the city of Xiangyang.

Now it is ushering in a team of soldiers and horses, and they are marching towards Xiangyang City.

And this army of soldiers and horses was sent by Qin Yin, led by Huang Zhong of the 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army, their task is to increase the pressure on the Jingzhou army, if there is an opportunity, but also to seize Xiangyang City.

After all, if you take Xiangyang City, it will be easier to completely take the land of Jingzhou.

Although it was not difficult to dispatch a large army to take Xiangyang City, which only had 30,000 defenders, Liu Biao led more than 100,000 Jingzhou troops to defend Nanyang.

If the army is dispatched, Liu Biao will definitely take the opportunity to cut off their back road, and at that time, the situation will change, and it will not be the Jingzhou army that is in trouble, but they will become them.

Qin Yin wouldn't do such a foolish behavior.

Sending Huang Zhong to lead 10,000 soldiers to Xiangyang City, just looking for an opportunity, even if there is no opportunity, it can cause a certain psychological pressure on the Jingzhou army.

That's what he wants.

......

The 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army who came to the outside of Xiangyang City did not get too close to Xiangyang City, but set up camp after a thousand meters outside, ignoring the Jingzhou army on the wall of Xiangyang City.

Now the gate of Xiangyang City is closed, and the Jingzhou army on the city wall is also ready to fight, and there is no chance of attack, plus there are 30,000 defenders in the city, and the strength is three times that of them, forcibly attacking the city, it is not a good idea, so you can only wait outside first.

Looking for a certain opportunity.

When the soldiers of the Qin army were encamped.

Huang Zhong also took more than a dozen cronies and rode a horse to watch the situation in Xiangyang City from a distance.

Although the task given by Qin Yin was to let him lead the army to take care of Xiangyang City, and he did not necessarily have to attack the city, but only needed to lead the army to be stationed outside, so that the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang City and Liu Biao in Nanyang felt some pressure, but in his heart, he still wanted to take Xiangyang City.

Even as a military general, he is brave and strategic, knowing that if he can take Xiangyang City, it will be a great thing for their side.

Moreover, Liu Biao's status in Jingzhou will also collapse in an instant.

You must know that almost all of the families who support Liu Biao are in Xiangyang City, and those who control these families can cut off the supply of the Jingzhou army, without material support, even if Liu Biao has more soldiers and horses, it will not have any effect.

At that time, there was no need for them to attack.

The soldiers and horses under Liu Biao's command were able to mess up on their own.

This is the same reason why Qin Yin didn't dare to let Liu Biao cut off his back road.

After all, no matter how brave the soldiers under his command are, no matter how good they can fight well, if there is no supply of food and grass materials, it will have no meaning.

If you don't have physical strength, how can you fight?

Looking at the situation in Xiangyang City.

Huang Zhong also squinted his eyes.

Before he joined Qin Yin's command, he was an official in Nanyang, and he was also familiar with Xiangyang City, but now it is different.

On the city wall, there are still flags waving, and there are many Jingzhou soldiers holding weapons in their hands, standing on it, and the city gate is closed, which is obviously very guarded.

And he led the army from Nanyang, and there was nothing to hide, and it was inevitable that he would be discovered.

Then, Xiangyang City is now well guarded and well-defended, which is really normal, even if they don't lead the army to come, when they lead the army to attack all parts of Jingzhou, the defense of Xiangyang City is not sparse.

They have all led their armies to attack.

It would be strange if Xiangyang's defense was still as usual.

And if that's really the case, Liu Biao can't control Jingzhou for so many years, let alone have any reputation, and he won't borrow Jiangxia and other places, and he won't return them to Jiangdong.

I made a round.

And the camp is about to be built.

Huang Zhong didn't find any opportunity to take Xiangyang City, so he rushed back to the camp that was about to be built with more than a dozen cronies.

Although he wants to take Xiangyang City in his heart, he can only do it if he has a chance.

If there was no chance, he would still proceed according to the plan, only surround and not fight, and there would be no radical actions, which would affect Qin Yin's arrangement.

Although he didn't make great achievements, he didn't make mistakes, that's what he thought.

Besides, he also needs to be responsible for the 10,000 soldiers he leads, and he can't let them die in vain.

The Jingzhou army is a regular army of the imperial court, not a ragtag army composed of people, bandits and bandits, and it is not easy to take a city with 30,000 defenders with 10,000 soldiers.

It is impossible to do it without a certain opportunity.

And what he needs to wait for is such an opportunity.

On the city wall of Xiangyang City.

The Jingzhou army stationed on the city wall, seeing the 10,000 Qin troops who had arrived, was also very vigilant, and the partial generals on the city wall also quickly sent people to report.

Seeing the Qin army coming, he did not launch an attack at the first time.

The partial general didn't make too many moves, just let the Jingzhou army on the city wall be on guard, in case of accidents, and the rest need to wait for the decision of the principal of Xiangyang City now.

After all, he is just a partial general, and he can't make any decisions.

As for the arrival of the Qin army, they had already received the news, and they had already closed the city gate early and no longer allowed the people to enter or leave.

And the defenders in the city have also made all kinds of preparations.

If the Qin army attacked the city, they would be able to react quickly and defend the city.

Seeing the Qin army ignoring them and camping in front of their eyes, he was also a little unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that this could not be the reason for them to leave the city.

Plus there is also an order to be guarded.

There will be no idea of going out of the city to fight with the Qin army.

As long as the Qin army does not come to attack the city, then they will always stay on the city wall and will not have too many movements.

Of course.

This is just what they think, as for what the principal in Xiangyang City will decide now, it is not something they can guess.

The most important thing is.

Whether it is Huang Zhong or the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang City, they still don't know what happened in the land of Shangyong, and the news has not yet arrived.

After all, it takes a certain amount of time to come from above.
