Chapter 261: The Battle of Xiangyang

Under the city of Xiangyang, the Sun and Yuan coalition forces were attacking fiercely.

But Xiangyang City is not another city, it is located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, surrounded by water on three sides, and backed by mountains on one side, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he transformed Xiangyang City, the city wall is very tall, and very strong, ordinary catapults, can not reach, if the water division attack, there is not much way to land, because the arrows above Xiangyang City can shoot you, but it is difficult for you to shoot him. The most desperate thing is the rocket, once it is hit by the rocket, the ship has to burn.

What's more, the ships of the Sun Yuan coalition army were very few, and they were all used to intercept the Jingzhou naval division in Jiangxia, which could not help the siege at all.

Sun Yuan's allied army attacked for half a month, and Liu Biao gave up most of the Jingzhou territory, destroyed all the bridges, and specifically defended Xiangyang and Fancheng.

After so many years of operation, Xiangyang City is rich in grain and grass, enough to support two years, this is Liu Biao's confidence, sometimes although the city is passive, but the danger is much smaller than the siege side.

But Sun and Yuan's two families can't afford it, the territory of the two families is small, and the supply of grain and grass is difficult to sustain, once they can't capture Xiangyang, then they can only wait to starve to death. Especially Sun Ce, who gambled all his net worth.

So every day Sun Yuan's coalition army is attacking, and Sun Ce personally supervises the battle. The main means of the coalition army's attack is to fill the river, only by filling up part of the river and advancing forward, the coalition army can set up siege weapons such as catapults, and then rely on the cover of catapults to directly attack Xiangyang City.

The intentions of the coalition forces were clearly seen by the Jingzhou army. They also set up catapults at the top of the city, and attacked the coalition forces that filled the river, and closer they were waiting for their bows and arrows. This geographical advantage can be said to have caused heavy casualties to the Sun Yuan coalition army, while Liu Biao sat high in Xiangyang City.

......

And when the news of the approaching Han army came, Sun and Yuan's coalition forces panicked, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu knew very well that as soon as the Han army came, then they would not talk about capturing Xiangyang City, I am afraid it would be difficult to retreat. Sun Ce is okay, he can go back to Changsha, where is Yuan Shu going?

Sun Ce and Yuan Shu immediately ordered their soldiers to fill the river day and night. The soldiers had to attack desperately, and the scene became even more lively.

Eventually, they began to fill in part of the moat, and then pushed the catapults and other siege weapons forward for some distance so that they could reach the siege.

For a time, stones flew under Xiangyang City, constantly flying towards the head of Xiangyang City, and the Jingzhou army began to suffer casualties.

And Sun Yuan's coalition army took the opportunity to take a boat to Xiangyang City, and after some fighting, someone finally rushed to the city, and the arrows were fired together, which was lively.

After a fierce battle on both sides, the Sun and Yuan coalition forces still did not break through Xiangyang City, but they saw hope.

There was no choice but to attack Xiangyang City, and the coalition forces could only storm Xiangyang City again and again.

The battle lasted for a month and a half, and the city of Xiangyang finally crumbled, the city walls were damaged in many places, and the defenders were killed and wounded. Sun Yuan's coalition army also suffered more than half of the casualties, and even some generals died on the battlefield, including Sun Ce's subordinates Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, which shows the intensity of the battle.

The hard work paid off, and on a sunny day, Sun Yuan's coalition army finally launched the final onslaught, and the remaining 80,000 people were all pressed up, and Sun Ce even personally led his elite to climb the ladder and kill the city.

The coalition soldiers under the city were desperately pushing the crash car to storm the city gate, and the defenders of Jingzhou had no materials to defend the city such as rolling wood and stones, and the gold juice was gone, and the bows and arrows were also shot out, so they could only watch the enemy attack.

Everything seems to be moving in a favorable direction for the coalition forces.

However, at this time, behind the Sun Yuan coalition army, there was a fierce sound of horses' hooves, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Han army flocked to it, and the Ming sword rode on the Tyrannosaurus rex, and rushed to the front with great might, and soon killed the few sergeants of the Sun Yuan coalition army guarding the shore.

The Tyrannosaurus rex crossed the Han River and went to the city of Xiangyang to kill, and everywhere it went, it was simply miserable, and the soldiers of the Sun Yuan coalition army were disemboweled, eaten directly, and trampled into meat pies abounded.

The soldiers of the Han army saw that the emperor was so brave, and one by one they killed the Sun Yuan coalition army like a tiger, even though the number was not superior, but they still killed the Sun Yuan coalition army, crying for their father and mother.

The Han army came very coincidentally, and the purpose of the Ming Sword was very clear.

First, it can eliminate most of the Sun Yuan coalition forces that have not yet entered the city, and second, they can take this opportunity to enter the city to clear out a small part of the Sun Yuan coalition army that has entered the city, and then take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, Liu Biao has absolutely no power to fight back.

At this time, the battle situation was a little different, the Han army pursued and killed the Sun Yuan coalition army, the latter could not resist, and naturally wanted to desperately assault Xiangyang City, and seeing the Han army killing, the Jingzhou army suddenly boosted morale, and actually stopped the Sun Yuan coalition army.

Under the city, on the head of the city, at the gate of the city, on the ladder, you can see the scene of fighting everywhere, this is a good killing, until the sky is dark, the river is red, how cruel!

Ming Jian looked very unbearable, but if the Han army didn't kill, I was afraid that these Sun Yuan coalition forces would kill all the people of Jingzhou in Xiangyang City, and kill to stop killing, this is no way.

"Speed up the attack and kill all these rebels and thieves!" Under the order of Ming Jian, the Han army accelerated its attack, and the Sun and Yuan coalition forces finally couldn't support it, and they began to look for opportunities to break through.

Once someone escapes, there will be more followers, especially Sun Ce's subordinates, who originally wanted to get a piece of the pie, but they didn't think that they would now put themselves in it.

"Withdraw!"

Sun Ce's good friend Zhou Yu gave an order, and the Changsha army began to retreat frantically, even the city head retreated, and then desperately broke through. Zhou Yu is a very scheming person, he has already seen that even if he breaks through Xiangyang City today, he will not want to escape the pursuit of the imperial army.

"Let go of the Changsha army first, let them leave, and concentrate on dealing with the Yuan army." Ming Jian gave another order, and without the Changsha army, it would be easier to deal with Yuan Shu.

On the side, Guo Jia added: "Order Xiahou Yuan to immediately lead his troops to pursue the Changsha army, so that they can't retreat with their whole body." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Strategist!"

On the battlefield, the balance of power in the four directions has changed again, Sun Ce retreated with an arrow wound, Yuan Shu is a little lonely, although the mandarin duck array under Yuan Shikai is very powerful, but now the Han army has also learned the method of breaking the formation, so the current situation is very unfavorable to the Yuan army.

When Yuan Shu learned that Sun Ce had escaped, he couldn't help but scold: "The erector is not enough to conspiracy!" Spread my will: Today with the Han army to fight to the death, the generals who can kill the little emperor will be crowned king! ”

Yuan Shu tried to make a last-ditch effort and prepared to take a decapitation action.

But Yuan Shu is too naΓ―ve, it doesn't mean that the sword's current force value has broken through to 88, and he is sitting on top of the dinosaur and can't get close. It's the Danyang elite soldiers around him, it's not something he can easily break through.

The battle lasted until the sky was dark, and there were few left of the Yuan army, and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shikai, and Zhang Xun were alone under the guard of more than 100 soldiers, guarding a beachhead and shivering.

Ming Jian shouted: "Yuan Shu, you are rebellious, you act against the sky, resulting in today's disaster, and until now, you still don't kill yourself to thank the world?" ”

Yuan Shu looked at Ming Jian, he couldn't speak, he was originally a big rebel, and now he has become a general of the defeated army, what reason is there to refute?

After a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is dead!" But please read on the part of the guilty minister who has also made meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty, and leave a legacy for the guilty minister, so that the criminal minister will die and be blinded. ”

Yuan Shu also wanted to save Yuan Shikai's life, he also heard that Ming Jian was benevolent and righteous, and Yuan Shao's whole family did not die, so he also thought that he was lucky and hoped that his son could live.

How do you know that it's okay if he doesn't mention it, mentioning this, Ming Jian is furious, although Yuan Shikai was sent by the red envelope system, but this person doesn't like Ming Jian at all, so it is impossible for Ming Jian to spare his life.

"Your father and son have done so many evils, how can I forgive? I promise you, leave you a whole corpse, Zhang Xun, I think you have some talent, I spare you from dying, you can quickly take down the Yuan family father and son, as advanced capital! ”

Ming Jian loudly ordered Zhang Xun to make a move.

This Zhang Xun's ability is still good, although the force value is only 87, but his command ability is okay.

How do you know that Zhang Xun suddenly pulled out his long sword, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's heart, a certain heart has received it, and a certain person is a member of the Yuan family, and he cannot betray the master!" ”

After speaking, he turned his back to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shikai and said, "Your Majesty, the prince, the minister has taken a step first!" ”

And then kill yourself!

"Nima, let you live and you die, this person is really pedantic, he dies when he dies, and he is not worth regretting." Ming Jian couldn't help but scold.

As soon as Zhang Xun died, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shikai also felt hopeless, and Yuan Shu was still a little unable to do it, but Yuan Shikai cut off his head with a sword and cut off his neck, so far, Yuan Shu was destroyed.

"Clean up the battlefield, send someone to shout to Xiangyang, and order Liu Biao to come out to greet you!"

Ming Jian ordered.

At this time, the system prompted: "Host, the red envelope is here!" Two shots in a row! ”

Two red envelopes flew out from Yuan Shu and Yuan Shikai, Ming Jian reached out and clicked on them, and the red envelopes exploded.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing two physical red envelopes, one is Wang Yanzhang, the general of Liang after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the other is Lin Chong, a good man from Liangshan!"
