Liu Zhang admired the boulder throwing for a long time, and returned to the handsome tent with no interest. Today's "cannonball" is almost no different from the past, in order to avoid injuring the people in the city, Liu Zhang ordered not to throw stone bullets into the city wall ten zhang behind, so almost completely rely on the trebuchet to throw a large number of stone bullets fell into the moat, except for splashing up the sky-high water column and nothing was gained, although a small number of stone bullets fell on the city wall, but the defenders who had suffered several days of "shelling" had already learned shrewdly, once they found that the catapult was pushed out, one by one they found a good bunker early, Even if an exposed person is targeted by a boulder, because the speed of the boulder is very slow, as long as you remain calm, it is not difficult to avoid it, so the results of the battle are very small, and the only gain may be that the morale of the defenders is getting worse day by day. Liu Zhang once said with a smile that after a month of "cannonballing" like this, Jiangling may surrender without a fight!

Liu Zhang, who returned to the tent, received a report from Lu Su about the enemy. After reading it, Liu Zhang showed a smile on his face and handed it to a group of strategists for circulation, and everyone thought that Lu Su's disposal was very proper.

However, it was said that Jiangxia and Jingnan counties reacted after learning that Liu Zhang raised troops to attack Jingzhou.

Huang Zu received Wang Rui's order, don't read it, use it to wipe the wine stains that accidentally spilled when drinking just now, and then throw it on the ground. He was not interested in the battle between Liu Zhang and Wang Rui at all, regardless of who won and who lost, he only cared about the throne of Jiangxia Taishou under his ass, and with an order, the vigilance of Jiangxia rose sharply.

Changsha Taishou is Wang Rui's confidant Su Dai, after learning that Liu Zhang's soldiers besieged Jiangling, he has not yet received Wang Rui's order, so he sent a group of civil and military officers and ordered the whole army to go out. However, the situation in Changsha is not optimistic, first of all, he has only been in Changsha for more than a year, and Sun Jian's forces in the city have not been completely cleared, these people are hiding, ready to jump out and give him a knife at any time. There are also many Sun Jian's old troops in Sun Jian's defeat, Sun fled Changsha after the choice of Xiaoju mountains and forests, to resist Wang Rui's occupation of Changsha by force, these people may not have many troops, but all of them are Changsha natives, can be described as the head of the snake, the situation in Changsha is well understood, and the iron heart and Su Dai to fight to the bottom, Su Dai after more than a year of conquest, but has never been able to wipe it out, and there is a tendency to burn the prairies. Although the current Su Dynasty is the Taishou of Changsha, the areas he can control, in addition to Linxiang, are only the five counties of Xiajun, Luoxian, Yiyang, Xiangnan, and Liling in the north, and there are a total of twelve counties under Changsha, which means that half of the places are outside his control. The six counties that are not subject to the constraints of the Soviet Dynasty are Liandao, Zhaoling, Ancheng, Chaling, Youxian, and Rongling, and four of the six counties were killed by Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling by taking advantage of Sun Jian's killing, and Changsha sent troops to occupy it on the occasion of the Great Rebellion, and has been under the actual jurisdiction of the three counties since then. Among them, Zhaoling was occupied by Wuling Cao Yin, Liandao was occupied by Lingling Liu Du, Chaling and Rongling were occupied by Guiyang Zhao Fan, and Youxian and Ancheng were in a state of anarchy and belonged to the guerrilla areas of Sun Jian's old department. The troops in the hands of Su Dai are still unable to capture the entire territory of Changsha, what can he do to save Jiangling? He's not going to be a soldier! What's more, the river has completely become the backyard of the Yizhou army, and it is difficult for the Changsha army without a navy to cross the mighty Yangtze River...... He wanted to send troops as soon as possible, but reality gave him a hard blow, and he had to cancel his plan in a foolish way. However, after Wang Rui's urgent document arrived, his mentality immediately changed, Wang Rui can be said to be kind to him, and he has always carried out Wang Rui's orders to the letter, so a vicious plan slowly surfaced in his mind......

Lingling and Guiyang received Wang Rui's letter, did not abandon it, they asked the messenger to reply to Wang Rui, they immediately reorganized the troops and horses, as soon as possible to send troops, but the Yangtze River Yizhou Sailor dominated, before they crossed the river, Jingzhou Sailor must defeat the Yizhou Sailor, otherwise there is no way to cross the river safely. After sending the messenger away, the two invariably sent an envoy to each other, and after exchanging each other's opinions deeply, they reached a consensus - drag! Break the siege of Gangneung? Let's not talk about whether Cao Yin will let them go (Cao Yin and Wang Ruiming's secret battle is known to everyone), let's just talk about the scale of Yizhou's troops this time, obediently, 100,000 troops, this shows how firm Liu Zhang's determination to capture Jingzhou is, and their little strength is not enough to stuff their teeth, why bother to kill themselves? The two secretly agreed to guard their respective territories and help each other, no matter who wins or loses Liu Zhang and Wang Rui, they can continue to be their own guards anyway (although the grass on the wall is not in danger for a while, they don't want to think about it, once others free their hands, can they tolerate them to continue to be in power?). ）。

Cao Yin didn't even read Wang Rui's letter, and threw it directly into the charcoal. I also sighed in my heart: "If I don't send troops to give you a falling stone, you can steal the fun, and you still want me to help?" Daydreaming! Cao Yin had no intention of rescuing Wang Rui from beginning to end, but after Lu Su captured and set foot on the land south of the Yangtze River, he obviously felt the threat from Yizhou, and secretly transferred 5,000 people to Xiaoling for defense, and he secretly got in touch with Liu Du and Zhao Fan! There is no way, once Liu Zhang wins, and Liu Zhang has made up his mind to take Jingzhou all, then Wuling, where Cao Yin is located, will be the first place to rush. Cao Yin, who was at the forefront, knew that he was not the enemy of Yizhou, no, he began to find allies for himself. Liu Du and Zhao Fan can be too guarded and will not be bad, although there were some contradictions between the three in the past, but in order to continue to rule their own territory, now the three of them can be said to hit it off, and the relationship is really "like brothers", and the tone in the letters is very affectionate.

Wang Rui had to feel sad, the only one of the five counties who was willing to lend a helping hand to him was also in the quagmire, and the other four counties were watching from the sidelines, and he had to fight against Liu Zhang, who came with all his strength in Nanyang and Nanjun.

Although Zhang Fei, who was in Dangyang, very much wanted to lead his troops out of the city, defeat Zhang Yun and Wu Ju's troops, or even annihilate them all, Liu Zhang's order to him was to block Xiangyang reinforcements on the front line of Dangyang, and strictly ordered not to take the initiative to attack. Zhang Fei didn't dare to disobey Liu Zhang's order, so he had to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to nest in the city.

Zhang Yun and Wu Ju traveled all the way, and had learned the news of the fall of Dangyang, and the two discussed and unanimously decided that if they did not recover Dangyang, the army would continue to move south, and the enemy army in Dangyang City might stab cold guns from behind at any time.

After the two rested for the night, they launched an attack on Dangyang the next day.

Dangyang is a small city, the moat is only two zhang wide, and the water depth is also shallow, Zhang Yun and Wu Ju naturally did not take this moat in their eyes, they cut down trees into ladders, and more than 15,000 people carried countless long ladders on the moat, shouting loudly and stepping on the long ladder!

Zhang Fei was ordered not to attack, but there was a fire in his heart, he stared at a pair of big rings and watched the enemy army approaching the moat, erecting a ladder, the soldiers stepped on the ladder and began to charge, the Jingzhou army forced to the corner of the city wall, and the ladder was erected...... Zhang Fei has never ordered an attack, he wants to give the enemy a ruthless blow and show the evil spirit in his chest. It wasn't until waves of enemy arrows were thrown above the city wall that the soldier cautiously began to climb with his shield in his hand, that he shouted like a steamer's whistle: "Kill ......"

Countless heads suddenly appeared on the city wall, which seemed to be empty before, and in the shouts that resounded through the sky, countless arrows, rolling logs and stones poured down the city wall like a storm......

The soldiers of Jingzhou had already noticed the strange silence above the city wall, they once thought that the defenders had some conspiracy, but when they stepped on the moat and still did not encounter resistance, they thought that the city was empty, and there was still some joy in their hearts, thinking that the Yizhou army was as timid as a mouse, and saw that their army was strong, so they fled by night......

The arrows and rolling wood and stones that rained down killed and injured hundreds of people in just one wave, and the screams of the Jingzhou army came and went, as if there would be no end to it. Wu Juju, who took the lead, shouted: "It's a plan, hurry up and fight back, otherwise you will all die, rush up, kill all the people of Yizhou, and rush to the ......" While shouting to use the body of the Jingzhou soldiers to cover, the cat hid in Tibet to avoid the attack of the Yizhou army.
