One hundred and eighty-one cities were broken
The wind is surging in Xiangyang City, and how many people's hearts are floating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoPeople from all walks of life outside Xiangyang City kept coming back, Zhang Ren, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xiu rushed back from other places. In the past few days, there have been no reinforcements from the counties of Jingzhou, and it seems that most of the men and horses have been crushed by the three-way iron cavalry, leaving only 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City......
It is said that there are 100,000 soldiers and civilians, but the real combat effectiveness is only a few tens of thousands. There are less than 10,000 people who can really pull out field battles. Foot soldiers seem to be a lot of things, but in the field they are just meat targets for running. Of course, the defense will be very powerful, but the army has besieged the city for dozens of days, and the morale of the soldiers has long been panicked, and the morale of the soldiers is even lower and terrifying. The other party has not yet attacked the city, but rumors have already spread in the city.
In the early morning of this day, Xu Huang's military horn was loud in the barracks, the three armies were ready, and everyone was already under the city of Xiangyang. At this moment, Xiangyang is far worse than that of later generations, and even worse than that of the Song Dynasty, but it is already a big city in this period. The ancients could have such an ability, Liu Zhang really admired it.
The gate of Xiangyang City slowly opened, and Liu Zhang saw Liu Biao walking out with the help of two soldiers. Bowed to Liu Zhang from afar: "The virtuous nephew became more and more handsome a few years ago, but why did he attack my Jingzhou these days?" "What a humiliation it is to grovel in the face of a young man who is not as old as his own son?
Liu Zhang rode his horse and stood on the front side, first glanced at the city wall to see if there were crossbow arrows, he didn't want to walk a few steps and be pierced by crossbow arrows. After looking at it for a while, he only saw the archers, and Liu Zhang took a few steps ahead and said, "Uncle Liu Shi hasn't seen him for a long time, but he is getting older and older?" People often say that people are old and fine, but Uncle Liu Shishu is becoming more and more mediocre? Liu Zhang felt that he was as bad as that Cao Cao, but Cao ** forced Tao Qian, but he forced Liu Biao.
Liu Biao's face tightened when he heard Liu Zhang's words, and although he was bitter in his heart, he still wanted to please: "Uncle Shi is already old, and he has long been uninterested in major events in the world, so please ask the good nephew to give the people of Jingzhou a way to live for the sake of Uncle Shi's old age, right?" "I really burst into tears, and I was forced to such a point by a person younger than my son, which was extremely sad.
Liu Zhang couldn't help laughing, for the sake of the people? The tears of laughter were about to come out, and it took a long time to stop laughing: "Okay, good for the people." For the sake of the same sect, I will call you Uncle Liu Shi, otherwise what do you think? If you surrender now, I will protect you for the rest of your life, if not, I will not be merciful where the army passes. After speaking, Liu Zhangjian pointed at Liu Biao, and his words did not have the slightest politeness.
Liu Biao trembled angrily, pointing at Liu Zhang who couldn't speak for a long time. After taking a deep breath: "Zhuzi, Jingzhou and you are incompatible." After saying that, he was helped into the city, which was determined to defend it.
After Liu Biao entered the city, the archers, oil basins, and wood rolling utensils on the city wall were readily available. Liu Zhang saw it here, Fa Zheng also saw it, and Xu Huang also saw it. So Liu Biao is very well prepared? Liu Zhang took out the binoculars and handed it to Zhang Ren on the side and said: "Zhang Lang will take a look at the four city gates, the defense over there is weak......" Liu Zhang didn't believe that the defense there would be very tight, and there would always be a weak place.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Ren ran back, and Xicheng was the weakest. Liu Zhang immediately sent 10,000 soldiers to attack the West City Gate, and more than 10,000 people were also arranged at the other four gates. As long as there is a weakness in one place, the attack will start immediately, and in the huge Xiangyang City, how many generals like Cai Mao will there be? What's more, at this moment, the clerk is only serving under Cai Mao, and he has never had a great reputation.
For so many days, those soldiers have been supervised by Xu Huang to make siege equipment. Now that the army has arrived, all kinds of siege equipment have long been prepared. At this moment, even if the four city gates are attacked at the same time, there is no need to worry about insufficient equipment.
"The lord gives the order!" Seeing that the sentry riders at the four city gates were waiting for Liu Zhang's order, Xu Huang couldn't help but ask. Now it is really the front of the soldiers, and the soldiers pointed to by the flag are where they go.
Drawing out his sword and looking at the fiery eyes of several generals around him, Liu Zhang shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, everyone along the way who first breaks through Xiangyang City will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and the reward for killing the guards of the city gate will be 10,000 yuan." The siege began...... "With this order, the morale is unprecedentedly high, you must know that there are tens of thousands of soldiers at each city gate, and this time it costs millions of dollars. But Liu Zhang is so willful, he just wants to tell his soldiers that if you fight with me, you can have no worries about food and clothing.
The horns rose on all sides, and Liu Zhang saw countless soldiers charging up with shields. You must know that the shield you give is not a simple bronze and wooden shield, but a strong and unusually strong steel shield. Not to mention the Qingtong arrows, even small-caliber bullets may not be able to penetrate them......
Although the lethality of the archers was greatly reduced, the rolling logs and stones still killed many soldiers on his side. This kind of foolish siege is really irritating, it is equivalent to watching the soldiers die, and then using manpower to consume the opponent's material resources, and when the opponent is exhausted and short of materials, the city will be captured......
"Command the soldiers in the rear to go to the front of the city and shout, I will kill one soldier today, and I will kill ten of them in the future. If I die more than 10,000 soldiers, there will be no more soldiers in Jingzhou by this point. "Not only to attack the city, Liu Zhang also has to attack the heart.
Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers shouted in the distance of the city gate, and the attack of the soldiers on the city slowed down a few points. To be honest, if Liu Zhang is not afraid of countless deaths and injuries, this Xiangyang will definitely be broken within a few days. Liu Zhang, who looked at the enemy army whose morale had plummeted, waved his hand and said: "Go and blow up the four city gates...... so that Liu Biao does not surrender, so he is too lazy to play with him. The siege of the city lasted only ten minutes, and more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded on his side.
Cai Mao, who was on the city wall, saw the soldiers carrying wooden planks, and immediately shouted in horror: "Shoot those four people, shoot those four people immediately." "It's a pity that the planks are thickened, not to mention bows and arrows, not even crossbows.
I watched the four of them come to the bottom of the city gate, and then fled frantically. There was a loud bang, and the gate below broke. Although there were a lot of horses in the city that had been prepared, and there were also a lot of various wooden fences, but after a few loud noises, Cai Mao sat weakly on the side.
Liu Zhang has such a sharp weapon, and the so-called defensive battle is. It was only necessary to blow the city gate open, which forced the defenders to disperse a large number of soldiers to go below, but the top of the city wall was weak. No matter where you defend it, there will always be a place that will be captured by the enemy......
But this is not a place of despair, followed by three loud bangs, and Cai Mao knew that Xiangyang was finished. Originally, people were panicked, and the soldiers didn't have the heart to fight. Now that the city gates have been blown open, morale has dropped to the lowest, not to mention a hundred thousand troops, even a million troops are useless.
"Hurry up and guard the city gate......" After speaking, Cai Mao took people to the house, and at this time he could only find Liu Biao.
"The lord is not good, all the four gates of Xiangyang have been broken by Liu Zhang, and the enemy army has been killed at this moment......" Cai Mao didn't mention the escape at all, but there were three Xiliang iron cavalry outside Liu Zhang, what did they expect to escape?
The two sons beside Liu Biao were on both sides, kneeling beside Liu Biao one by one. At this moment, Cai Yu is also here, and it seems that his whole family has gathered here. Liu Biao said weakly: "Tell the soldiers to surrender." "To be honest, he didn't expect that his huge Xiangyang City would not resist for a while.
"Father, no, never. Jingzhou is my father's inheritance, how can I lose it at the hands of thieves. Liu Qi was terrified, to be honest, he had the vision of inviting Liu Bei in his later life, although he was suspected of colluding with foreign enemies, but it really helped Liu Bei a lot. It's just that the thief he attracted is a little scary, and other people's plans will take advantage of the situation to play him to death. Righteousness...... Hehe.
"Idiot, then Liu Zhang's hundreds of thousands of troops are coming, all the cities in front are lost, and Yiling is lost in the rear, Gan Ning is leading the army to attack, Jingzhou is finished." Liu Biao is in tears, will the Jingzhou family business be taken away if it is not even passed down for a generation?
Soon there were bursts of battle reports, first the west gate was lost, then the east gate, and finally all the city gates were occupied by Liu Zhang's soldiers. The army entered the city shouting to drop their weapons and not kill, while searching for soldiers running around. At this time, it was too chaotic, Liu Zhang and the others did not enter the city at all, and after all the Jingzhou soldiers in the city were dispossessed, a large number of people were driven back to their respective homes, and Liu Zhang and others would consider entering the city after stabilization.
There is still a lot of extremism in modern times, let alone in this era? There are definitely a lot of foolish loyalty, ignorance, and extreme people, Liu Zhang doesn't want to be rushed up and stabbed himself in a messy situation. What's more, the people in the city are panicked, and it is not suitable for them to enter by themselves now.
"Order the merchants of Nanyang to come to Jingzhou as soon as possible and sell our things here." The people here are rich, and at least there are many people who have enough to eat. That kind of soup soup and grain distribution method is definitely not good in Jingzhou. But Liu Zhang needs to send a message of peace, so let those businessmen go.
It has been nearly four months since I started to attack Jingzhou, and I don't know what happened to Wang Yi and Wu Yi, and I don't know what happened to Chang'an? Need some materials to make a simple power generation instrument, and then get a telegraph? But this is too troublesome, and according to my own progress, I can't figure it out without ten years of upward estimation.
But fortunately, Zheng Du is worthy of being believed, and Liu Zhang is worthy of being completely believed. You must know that many of the people in Chang'an are Shu people, and they believe that Liu Zhang came with them. However, I can't go back to Jingzhou for a short time, and I guess I'm going to spend the New Year here. Either let Wang Yi and the two of them come to Jingzhou, or they will go back after the year. But after Jingzhou is over, he should be able to take a year off, right?
