However, it is said that Liu Qi led an army of 20,000 people, came from Yixian County with hatred, and the army traveled day and night along the way, from Yixian County to Lingyang, to Hulin, and then led the army to take a boat from Hulin Port, along the river, and directly traced the Han River to the north at the entrance of Xiashui in Exian County, and the army drove directly to the direction of Yicheng, and the army did not encounter any interception along the way, and there was no such thing as Huang Zu going to Shaxian by land as he said in his letter to Liu Cong.

And when the army was not far from Yicheng, Jia Xu suddenly built yì Liu Qi led the army to take Jiangling first, and then set Yicheng, although Liu Qi was angry, he couldn't immediately rush forward to tear Cai Mao and Liu Cong apart, but he still maintained a trace of sanity, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement.

As a result, things were as Jia Xu expected, when Liu Qi's 20,000 troops suddenly descended on Jiangling City, Jiangling County made Liu Hu immediately panic, but at this time Liu Qi sent Fanqin to persuade him to surrender.

After some conversation, Liu Hu finally clarified his misunderstanding of Liu Qi and led the army to surrender.

Liu Qi thought that he was his brother, and immediately appointed him as the Taishou of Nanjun, and ordered him to lead his army to attack Xiangyang with him.

In this way, Liu Qi led an army of 10,000 in Jiangling City, plus his own 20,000 horses, and slaughtered Yicheng, the gateway to Xiangyang, with a strong force of 30,000 troops.

This time, Liu Qi was furious and brought thousands of improved versions of the ladders produced by Huang Yueying, and in addition to the ladders, Liu Qi also "instructed" Huang Yueying to make dozens of Haoqiao on the spot.

This is a kind of siege equipment specially used to fill the trench, like an ordinary bridge deck, there are two large wheels in front of the bridge and two small wheels in the back.

But it was said that Cai Ling, the mayor of Yicheng, heard that Liu Qi led the army to the city, and he was not panicked, because he had already obtained 10,000 reinforcements brought by his father Cai Zhan, and now there are 20,000 troops in the city, and Liu Qi is only 30,000 as the siege party, and he thinks that it is no problem to hold on for half a year, not to mention that it is only ten days and a half months of effort?

Cai Ling and Cai Zan came to the city together, and saw that Liu Qi did not order the soldiers to fill the river with soil, nor did he pile up soil into a mountain and shoot down on the city, but instead ordered the whole army to rest, and they couldn't help but laugh.

After a short time, Cai Ling saw Liu Qi's army pushing hundreds of strange things with wheels to the moat, and laughed even more: "Uncle, look, what kind of strange equipment did this guy Liu Qi make?" It's just a flat base, and you want to stand on it to launch an upward attack on our troops? It's really hard for him to come up with this idea, but this level of manufacturing is too poor, the front wheel is so much higher than the rear wheel, standing on it may be slid to the ground, and even the balance can not be maintained, how to draw the bow and arrows? ”

"Hehe, yes, what's the use of this thing? As long as his soldiers stood on it, they could be wiped out by a rain of arrows, but that thing had no protection. This time, even the heavens have helped us, you have made this great contribution, and you will put down Liu Qi's rebellion in the future, but don't forget to give my uncle and me a little credit. Cai Zhan also laughed and said to Cai Ling with a little respect.

"Haha, we are all our own family, and my nephew naturally knows about this matter." Cai Ling waved her hand and said disapprehantly: "Let's see, see how long they are, can they launch an upward shot at us across the moat?" ”

"Huh? Moat? Cai Zan listened to Cai Ling's words, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, as if he suddenly thought of something, scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about it for a long time, suddenly his face changed, and he said loudly: "It's not good, Ling'er, quickly order the soldiers to go out of the city gate, and be sure to destroy those things in Liu Qi's army, if my expectations are good, it should be something similar to a pontoon bridge, as long as they push these things above the moat, isn't it a pontoon bridge?" ”

When Cai Ling heard this, she became nervous, and hurriedly ordered Cai Zhong, the son of Cai Zhan, to lead an army of five thousand out of the city, and be sure to destroy the strange utensils that the other party had just made.

But it was too late, for the soldiers who were pushing the strange equipment soon came to the moat under the cover of the soldiers in front of them, and pushed the strange equipment into the moat.

Just a moment later, I saw that "pontoon bridges" were built.

Immediately after, Cai Ling saw Liu Qi's 30,000 troops rushing to the city on the "pontoon bridge".

"Let Cai Zhong come back quickly. Close the gates at once, and defend the city. Cai Ling saw that the other party's 30,000 troops had crossed the moat, and it was useless to go out of the city, so she had no choice but to order Cai Zhong to return, and then ordered to hold on.

At this time, I saw Liu Qi and the generals under his tent leading a large army, surrounded by thousands of strange cars, across the moat, and rushed to a short distance from the city.

This time, Cai Ling didn't want to be so easy as last time, he knew that this must be something novel by Liu Qi again, and he would definitely be able to make himself threatened, so he ordered the city defense sergeant to deal with it carefully.

It was only after a stick of incense that Cai Ling was horrified to find that the strange cars with inclined planes on them suddenly grew by half, and then they were directly built on the city wall.

"This, this is a special ladder!" Cai Ling couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows: "Hurry up and release the arrows and shoot those hateful thieves to death." ”

The soldiers defending the city immediately received the order, and then a rain of arrows was thrown down, but Cai Ling was desperate to find that this round of arrow rain only hit the front of the strange cloud ladder, and the soldiers hiding in the back downhill suffered very little losses.

At this moment, an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound was heard, and then Cai Ling saw Liu Qi and the generals under his command leading the soldiers, stepping on this novel ladder, and killing directly towards the city.

This time, Liu Qi chose to attack directly for the sake of Liwei, he wanted to make Cai Mao feel scared for a while, he wanted to wash the Cai family in blood and avenge his father.

I saw Liu Qi, Liu Shi, Zhang Tong, Lu Fan, Huo Jun, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, Sima Zhi, Pan Jun, Liu Hu and others all fighting bravely to be the first and leading the elite army to charge.

"Kill." These elite soldiers stepped on the ladder and soon rushed to the top of the city, and then fought the enemy on the top of the city.

"Cai Ling, Cai Zhan, take your life." As soon as Liu Qi rushed to the city, he saw Cai Ling not far away, his eyes were full of hatred, and he immediately rushed towards Cai Ling.

"Protect Childe." Immediately, dozens of elite soldiers stood in front of Cai Ling.

Liu Qi was not afraid, and the spear in his hand picked up a spear flower, like a flower branch trembling, mixed with a trace of cold light and stabbed at those pro-soldiers.

"Ahhh......h

"What? Liu Qi, this waste, where did he get such clever marksmanship? Cai Ling, who was not far away, saw Liu Qi's move just now, and was so frightened that he urinated on the spot**, with his not very clever martial arts, he could see at a glance that Liu Qi's current marksmanship was so clever that he couldn't see through the way at all, if it was a head-on confrontation with him, I was afraid that the other party would easily take his own life with just one move. Where does Cai Ling know? Liu Qi's marksmanship was turned over from Yu at the beginning, which was already extraordinary, and then he followed Zhang Xiu to practice hard for many days, and there was a reborn change, now even if Zhang Xiu is facing him, only by going all out can he defeat him after a hundred moves, and dealing with those small soldiers around Cai Ling with his own clever marksmanship is like a cannon fighting mosquitoes.

Seeing that Cai Ling was frightened, Liu Qi immediately retreated a little, and ordered his own soldiers to step forward to block it, and couldn't help but snort coldly, the spear in his hand was like a strange python turning over, and a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, each stroke could kill at least one of his own soldiers, and sometimes even like just now, he could kill four or five enemy soldiers at the same time.

Liu Qi's spear skills were already extremely skillful, coupled with the fact that those personal soldiers around him were helping in the battle, and now it was like a tiger entering a flock, and everyone was not easy, and soon tore a gap in the formation of Cai Ling's personal soldiers.

Seeing Liu Qi getting closer and closer to her, Cai Ling couldn't help but panic in her heart, and in a hurry, she took off her bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Liu Qi's front door.

Since he climbed to the top of the city, Liu Qi's eyes have been staring at Cai Ling, and he naturally saw this scene, not to mention that Liu Qi was an expert in sneak attacks before, how could he not take precautions against this? So when he saw Cai Ling's cold arrow coming in front of him, he didn't panic, he raised his gun and pushed the feather arrow aside, and then took advantage of the other party's stunned work, the spear stabbed forward, fought hard to kill a bloody road, and quickly rushed to Cai Ling's body with the cooperation of his own soldiers.

"Bold!"

Cai Zhan, who was behind Cai Ling, saw that his nephew was in danger, and immediately rushed forward, this is not that he is proud of himself, but if he does not protect this person, even if he is Cai Mao's younger brother, he is very likely to be retaliated against by his own slave brother, and even his life may be given away.

Therefore, Cai Zan had no choice but to stand up and shout at Liu Qi: "Liu Qi, you brute don't look at who is in front of you?" This is Cai Junshi...... Ah......h

Cai Zan didn't finish his sentence, he saw Liu Qi's spear stabbed into his throat, and then struggled to pull it down, and saw Cai Zhan's body fall off the city, and one head directly turned into a blooming peach blossom.

"Huh?" When Cai Ling saw this bloody scene, she was immediately frightened, and stood at the head of the city in a daze, her legs trembling, her face pale, and her eyes full of fear.

Just a moment later, Cai Ling felt a chill coming from her neck, and thought that she had been killed by the other party, so she rolled her eyes in fear and fainted directly.

"Hmph, such a fool dares to defend the city!" Liu Qi frowned, forcibly endured the smell of urine from Cai Ling's body, and ordered someone to tie him up.

"Big brother, why don't you kill him, this is Cai Mao's only son, Cai Mao will definitely be mad if you kill him." Liu Hu on the side rushed up and pointed at Cai Ling and said.

Liu Qi smiled and said coldly: "Such garbage, how can I, Liu Qi, allow him to live in this world?" But I can't kill him now, I'm going to take him to Xiangyang City, so that Cai Mao's old puppet will be killed alive under the city after watching his son cry bitterly, and I want him to know that this is the fate of daring to be a traitor.

Liu Hu on the side couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and secretly congratulated himself that he had surrendered this terrible person now, otherwise, I am afraid that it would only end up in the same way in the future.
