After capturing Xiaoling, Yang Xi personally supervised it, and sent Mao Luan to lead the headquarters of 9,000 and 3,000 soldiers and horses of the artillery battalion, and went south to take Tang County.

As soon as Tang County went up and down in Xiaoling, all of them were on the Yangtze River, and after taking these two counties, they blocked the Yangtze River section of Wuling County.

There are only 3,000 defenders in Tang County, and where can they withstand a few blows from Maoluan, they will be taken in three days.

Won the two counties, but Yang Xi did not move, only in the two counties to consolidate the defense, at this time it was only February 12, Kuai Qi led 10,000 troops, only to the other side of the Yangtze River.

Cao Cao also got Liu Biao's report at this time, and was discussing with the strategists.

Cao Cao said: "This report was sent seven or eight days ago, when Liu Biao got the news, Yang Xi had landed in Wuling, it is estimated that now, Yang Xi has captured Xiaoling, what do you think?" ”

Xun Yu said: "If the prime minister sends troops to attack Xinye at this time, and wants to get a share of the territory, I'm afraid he can't." Liu Biao guarded the north with heavy troops, and was eager to attack, but he helped Yang Xi and contained Liu Biao. ”

Guo Jiadao: "The prime minister can dispatch troops, feign a decisive battle with Yuan Shang, and transfer troops to Liyang, so as to stabilize Liu Biao's heart, and Liu Biao can transfer troops to the south and have the strength to fight with Yang Xishang." and Yang Xi directly turned his face, but it was not the time, if he turned his face, Yang Xi would unite with Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, Qingzhou Yang Xi had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, in case he attacked from the east, but the prime minister was very passive. ”

Cao Cao nodded and looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "The prime minister can secretly believe in Sun Quan of Jiaozhou, officially represent him as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and order him to enter Jingzhou from the ancient road and capture Guiyang and Lingling. In this way, the four counties of Jingzhou are divided between the two families, and Yang Xi will be trained to have an opponent, and when the prime minister unifies the north, Yang Xi will not be too strong. As for the Huiji Zhang Xiu, there is no need to take any action, as long as the Huiji continues to be in the hands of the prime minister, it can be foolproof. ”

Cao Cao nodded secretly, these people are really good-natured, so the letters from all parties are ready and sent out in a hurry.

Let's say that Kuai Qi arrived in Nanjun and faced the Yangtze River, but he didn't dare to cross the river, because he knew that he was not Yang Xi's opponent, and there was no general under him, so he was still young, and there were obviously fewer soldiers and horses than the other party, so he was deficient in all aspects.

can only wait for news from Changsha County and other places.

The news that came also made Kuai Qi almost vomit blood, and Zhang Ji of Changsha County announced that Changsha County had separated from Jingzhou and joined the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.

Kuai Qi vomited a mouthful of blood by the river on the spot, when will the revenge of the two brothers be avenged.

Fortunately, Guiyang guarded Zhao Fan and Lingling guarded Liu Du, each leading 10,000 troops to help.

There are 30,000 troops, and there is still a fight.

After a few days, the city walls of Tang County and Xiaoling County were finally repaired, and Yang Xi ordered Maoluan Headquarters to guard Tang County and guard Xiaoling by himself.

At this moment, Yang Xi also received news from the special agent battalion that the other party had gathered 30,000 troops, Zhao Fan and Liu Du's army, which had arrived in Wuling County to govern Hanshou, and Kuaiqi's 10,000 soldiers and horses were waiting to cross the river.

Han Shou, the camp of the coalition army, Zhao Fan said: "General Liu, you and I have 20,000 troops, directly take Tang County, make Tang City small, not suitable for defense, you and I 20,000 people, should no longer talk about it, as for Kuai Qi, don't care about him, if they take Xiaoling, their strength is enough, if they can't take it, you and I will merge and go north again, how about grabbing its credit?" ”

Liu Du said: "You and I should have this great achievement, or we can march on the same day, but we can't let Kuai Qi take the lead." ”

"Haha, General Liu is too worried, the two elder brothers of Kuaiqi's family died at the hands of Yang Xi, Kuaiqi must have killed Xiaoling directly, it is said that the guards were Tang County, but there was only one veteran Maoluan, and there were only thousands of soldiers and horses. As for Xiaoling, Yang Xi personally guarded it, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to capture. ”

So the two immediately raised their troops and went to take them as Tang.

When they were in the Tang Dynasty, the two of them went down to the village twenty miles away from the city, and led the army to see what was, but they saw that the military flag at the head of the city was neat and the military was moderate, but they glanced at Mao Luan.

Liu Du led the army to call the formation first and scolded under the city, but Mao Luan only asked his subordinates to shoot the formation and did not fight.

On the first day, Liu Du called for battle, and on the second day, it was Zhao Fan's turn, and the two armies took turns, so that for seven or eight days, Mao Luan did not come out, and the two armies began to attack the city.

It's okay not to attack the city, as soon as you attack the city, you know that Mao Luan is powerful, the armor in the city is distinct, the sergeants are all equipped with crossbows, only dodge shooting, a round of attacks down, only more than 20 zhang away from the city wall, dead or alive can not enter.

However, more than a thousand corpses were left, which made Liu Du and Zhao Fan furious.

Liu Du said: "General Zhao, you and I can't be so consumed, the city has been preparing for a long time, must have prepared a lot of grain and grass, you and I supplies, but have to be transported from Hanshou, there is a lot of inconvenience, so, tomorrow you and I will attack it, this will attack the south gate, General Zhao will attack the north gate, will make it tired." ”

So the two agreed to attack again tomorrow.

At this time, Kuai Qi had already received the news of Zhao and Liu's siege, crossed the Yangtze River overnight, and went to Xiaoling.

Yang Xiyin only had 6,000 soldiers and horses, so he naturally did not ambush him, so as not to lose manpower, and it was best to stay in the city and wait for work.

Kuai Qi went to the city and asked Yang Xi to answer, Yang Xi led a thousand soldiers to fly out of the city, Kuai Qi shouted: "Thief Yang Xi, you ****, you are a traitor, you have this ability, why don't you surrender early, Kuang Fu Han, why bother to practice yourself, and attract infamy through the ages?" ”

Yang Xi was immediately happy, your big man had already turned into a hamburger, and he was almost eaten by Cao Cao and others, so he also shouted: "Kuai Qi, you better retreat, if you retreat early, I won't kill you, lest your Kuai family fall apart." After all, your wife is my brother Pang Shanmin's wife and sister, and I can't talk to you when I kill you. ”

Kuai Qi said angrily: "Yang Xi, you have repeatedly violated Wang Shi, and you have not repented, General Han, please kill this thief with me." ”

Behind Kuai Qi, Han Xuan came out, Yang Xi swept it, and he was only 95 physically fit, so he couldn't let himself shoot, but Zhou Tai was responsible for guarding the city in the city, in case the other party ignored the rules and launched a charge, it was not beautiful to lose manpower.

Han Xuan came out of the battle, pointed at Yang Xi and scolded: "Thief general, don't tie your hands yet, leave your whole corpse." ”

Yang Xi was speechless, did this Han Xuan not have a brain or how, he hadn't heard of his prestige?

So he didn't bother to talk at all, he picked up the gun and rushed over, Han Xuan patted the horse to greet him, but before he saw what was going on, he was stabbed to death by Yang Xi.

Yang Xi returned to his own formation, like the wind along the way, like a horse destroying a horse and going out.

Kuai Qi finally knew that Yang Xi was powerful, but at this moment, the city gate was wide open, and it was a good time to attack and kill, so he ordered the whole army to be on to attack Yang Xi, and if Yang Xi retreated, he could follow him all the way into the city.

Yang Xi saw that this Kuai Qi was really shameless, so he led the soldiers and horses into the city, although the soldiers and horses entered the city, the door could not be closed, and the rear military horses swarmed in.

Yang Xi shouted loudly and ordered Zhou Tai in the city to just order to shoot him, but he rode his horse and rushed to the city gate, one man and one horse, fighting left and right, stabbing twenty or thirty people to death in a few minutes.

Seeing that Yang Xi was brave and fierce, and arrows were raining down on the city, he wanted to retreat, but left and right Wen hired: "If the general wants to attack the city, there will be dead and wounded, and when the city gate is not opened, he still goes all out to attack, but now the city gate has been opened, but he has to give up, which is to give up the near and far." ”

Kuai Qi listened to his wishes, ordered the whole army to press, and went to the city in all directions.

In fact, there are 6,000 soldiers and horses on the city of Zhoutai, which is also a lot, and it is well-equipped, where is it said that it can be captured by attacking, and it is basically shot down without approaching the city wall.

The soldiers and horses who want to enter from Yang Xizhen guarding the city gate, concentrated one or two thousand people, Yang Xi only had more than ten crossbow archers behind him, assisting in shooting, Yang Xi faced a thousand troops, not afraid at all, and killed the spear to make the wind and rain impenetrable, cold arrows were shot, and the guns were dialed out, but those who were close to each other immediately had their heads in different places, or stabbed to death.
