Jiangxia, as the frontier defense line of Jingzhou, is in the straight-line distance between Jiangxia and the two cities of Jiangling and Xiangyang in Nanjun, and every ten miles of mountain cliffs or rivers are built beacon towers with early warnings, which can be used to transmit warning signals to Xiangyang Liu Biao at the fastest speed.

Then it was up to the heralds to convey specific messages, and it took about a day to transmit specific messages to Xiangyang through the galloping roads connecting several cities and the fast horses of post stations.

But this speed is naturally not as fast as the beacon fire, so before the herald arrived, Liu Biao saw the beacon fire warning in Xiangyang and Jiangling, and he had already made military preparations for the first time, and then he waited for specific news to send troops, or took the initiative to send troops depending on the situation.

And on the side of Shaxian County, where Su Fei and Gan Ning were stationed, they could naturally see the beacon fire that was transmitted to Jiangling on the side of Xiling City, and it could be said that the two of them also had a beacon tower that continued to transmit the news in control.

Seeing this kind of beacon fire alarm, the two of them naturally rushed back to support as soon as possible.

"Beacon? I see, Wei really thought that Huang Zu could use flying pigeons to pass on books! In this way, Jiangling and Xiangyang should have also received the warning signal, well, military advisor, in Yiwei's opinion, we don't need to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but we can take Huang Zu as quickly as possible, and then deal with the reinforcements from Jiangling and Xiangyang with peace of mind! Hmph, Wei can rely on his talent and supernatural powers to know the location of the two reinforcements, but the other party may not know the situation on our side, and he didn't expect us to be able to quickly take Xiling City! ”

Zhu Wei knew that Jiangxia did not have the means to fly pigeons to pass on the book, so he had confidence in his heart, since he could not transmit information quickly, the speed of intelligence transmission in these years was actually very lagging behind, and Zhu Wei could completely use the fastest speed to take Xiling City, and then deal with the reinforcements of Jiangling and Xiangyang.

As long as Zhu Wei's side attacked the city quickly, no one would have thought that Zhu Wei would be able to take Xiling City, which was heavily defended by Huang Zu, so that Zhu Wei could deal with the reinforcements that Jiangling and Xiangyang might send without worries.

"Oh, that's fine! Then my lord, let's attack the city today! The generals listened to the order, and they all acted according to the arrangement! ”

Wang Yuyan heard Zhu Wei's words, but she didn't have any opinions, so she simply stood up and began to issue military orders in the name of the general, so that Pang Yan, Tai Shici and other generals would carry out the method of attacking Xiling City according to the previous plan.

In this way, Zhu Wei's whole army was quickly mobilized, and groups of soldiers set off from land and water to the place arranged by Wang Yuyan.

At this time, the land and water camp set up by Zhu Wei was about five miles away from Xiling City, and since Pang Yan, Tai Shici, and Ling Cao had joined the land and water army outside Xiling City, they had taken care of themselves to find land and camp here, but they did not make any moves against Xiling City.

But Huang Zu didn't dare to slack off, closed the four gates of Xiling City, and also sent people to inspect the city wall day and night, and at the same time sent a lot of scouts to Zhu Wei's water and land camp to monitor the situation.

However, after Zhu Wei led his troops to this land and water camp, with the help of the special function of the Three Kingdoms game map to appear a red warning luster for hostile people, the existence of these scouts was soon discovered.

So Zhu Wei sent a search team to arrest and drive away all the Huang Zu scouts who were hiding around, so now Huang Zu did not dare to continue to send people around Zhu Wei's military camp.

It's simply a loss-making deal of how much to come and how much to give.

In the end, all Huang Zu could do was to guard Xiling City, but there was no way to detect the movements in Zhu Wei's military camp.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Wei's side, but scout eyeliners were arranged in all directions of Xiling City, closely monitoring Xiling City's every move, and even finding high ground to secretly spy on the situation in Xiling City.

However, this Xiling City also has a wide moat to guard, the city wall is as high as six floors high, to say that the defense of the city, it is not bad, and at the same time, looking at the city gate tower facing Zhu Wei's water and land camp, you can also see some changes in the situation of Zhu Wei's military camp close to Xiling City.

Therefore, Huang Zu can still roughly see some movements in Zhu Weijun.

To tell the truth, the more Zhu Wei didn't attack the city, the more anxious Huang Zu felt, because he didn't know what Zhu Wei's plan was, and he couldn't detect the changes in the military situation of Zhu Wei's military camp, so he could only passively wait for Zhu Wei's army to attack the city.

In Xiling City, Huang Zu divided 8,000 soldiers and horses, guarded the four city gates, and then concentrated the remaining more than 7,000 soldiers and horses and more than 10,000 young men and horses, ready to support the city gates everywhere to meet Zhu Wei's siege.

But there are only thieves for a thousand days, and there are no thieves for a thousand days.

Huang Zu was worried that his nerves were very tight, but Zhu Wei's side deliberately recuperated, and when his side relaxed, Zhu Wei suddenly attacked the city, which was a big crisis.

Therefore, Huang Zu's temper has been very bad in the past two days, and he often angrily reprimands the people around him who make mistakes, even Huang Zu's son Huang Jie does not dare to show his face in front of Huang Zu casually, otherwise he will definitely be reprimanded by Huang Zu angrily because he was not stationed in the turtle and snake gorge water camp and lost this river defense line in vain.

Probably at noon on the third day when Zhu Wei's army arrived in the south of Xiling City, the soldiers sent by Huang Zu to defend on the city wall finally sent a message to Huang Zu that Zhu Wei's army was moving, and it seemed that it was preparing to attack the city.

So Huang Zu immediately went to the military camp in Xiling City to gather troops and generals, and waited at any time to determine the direction of Zhu Wei's siege, and then led his troops to resist.

This is about 12 o'clock in the afternoon of April 16, 196 A.D., this season is the spring is bright, the spring is full of season, Xiling City inside and outside is also the grass and trees in spring, the wild flowers are clustered all around, the air is floating with a faint fragrance of flowers, this should be a good time to play in spring.

But under this bright spring light, the south gate of Xiling City is the direction of war drums, and the evil atmosphere is thick, and a bloody battle to siege the city seems to be about to start soon.

This time to attack Xiling City, Zhu Wei naturally adopted the strategy of advancing by land and water.

He personally raised the handsome flag to attract Huang Zu's attention at the south gate of Xiling City, and then asked Pang Yan and Tai Shici to travel by boat from Xia Shui to the water gate of Xiling County, and respectively commanded 5,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 sword and shield men and 6,000 crossbowmen, and after the water gate was blown up, they could be used as the main force to attack Xiling County.

And Zhu Wei only brought 4,000 crossbowmen, 3,000 Bai Yu personal guard battalions, plus 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, and set up the so-called siege formation outside the south gate of Xiling City.

Now there are only Mu Lan, Wang Yuyan, Chen Qi, and Zhang Shuo around Zhu Wei, as for Gan Ning, Su Fei, Ling Cao, and Ma Zhong, they are under Wang Yuyan's arrangement, and they are looking for another place to ambush.

Even if Zhu Wei is dispatched by the whole army now, he will not be able to completely drain the water around Xiling City, so after Pang Yan and Tai Shici break the water gate of Xiling City, Huang Zu is also very likely to escape through the north gate and west gate of Xiling City.

Then it can only rely on ambush and robbery, and then lead troops to chase and kill, it is possible to take Huang Zu in a battle.

These arrangements are not talked about for the time being, but after Zhu Wei set up a position at the south gate of Xiling City, Huang Zu also brought 3,000 soldiers and 5,000 young men to the south gate to reinforce him, and then erected Huang Zu's handsome flag on the city gate tower......
