Zhang Lang took a deep breath, glanced at Zhuge Liang, and nodded, "Order Long Tao's army to camp on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, guard the north, and at the same time build a raft to prepare to cross the river." The rest of the armies marched to Xiangyang at full speed! If anyone dares to loot fame and wealth and kill the people, there is no forgiveness for killing, and the generals leading the army must also be jointly and severally responsible! Zhuge Liang clenched his fists and promised, and ran down.

The army set off again, hundreds of thousands of troops surged towards the famous city of Xiangyang, and Ma Chao led 100,000 blue wolf troops to ride into the front of the army.

Xiangyang City.

The guards patrolled the city wall, and the people of Xiangyang fled from the city with their families and mouths. Crying, shouting, swearing, and all together rang out, and the scene was very chaotic.

The guard general glanced at the city, turned his head and asked the officers beside him, "My lord, have they withdrawn from the river?" ”

"It has been evacuated, and the families of the civil and military are stepping up to cross the river. Most of the army has been withdrawn, and now only us are left in Xiangyang. General, when will we be able to retreat? ”

The Keeper frowned, "Wait a little longer." The main bus is replaced, and we must see the enemy before we can leave, and we have to set fire to the city! Glancing at the officer, he advised: "You go and check to see if the various arson teams are ready!" It has to be foolproof! The officer answered and ran down.

At this moment, on the surface of the river, countless building boats and large and small canopy boats are busy shuttling back and forth, constantly transporting personnel and materials from the west bank to the east bank.

A building boat was docked on the shore, and the old and young of the Qiao family were rushing to the building boat with their families. The family should have been on the ship a long time ago, but because they had been living in a manor near Jingshan these days, they got the news late, and they hurried to the shore at this time.

There was panic on the faces of the people, and their rapid gasps could be heard. A team of soldiers greeted him, and the captain hugged his fists and said: "Old man Qiao, the last general Jia Amnesty, I am specially invited by the lord to meet the old man." The boat has been prepared, so please get on board, old man. ”

Old Man Qiao glanced at the boat on the river, and quickly turned around to greet the two daughters and the concubines.

At that moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and the fleeing people rushed in panic to this side, mixed with shouts of terror.

Everyone in the Qiao family subconsciously followed the prestige, and suddenly saw thousands of iron horses surging towards them, and Old Man Qiao and Second Qiao couldn't help but show shock. It was a fierce cavalry that they had never seen before, thousands of war horses were like pixiu vertical and horizontal, war horses were like clouds, the evil spirit was rushing into the sky, the four hooves were flying, the cold light was like frost, rumbling the earth thundered, and thousands of troops and horses were lined up in the mountains and seas!

That Jia Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Upload now! ”

Whoosh ...... I saw javelins flying all over the sky, Jia Yu was shot to the ground on the spot and died, and the soldiers he brought were also killed and wounded, and they didn't die, so they didn't care about their responsibilities, so they ran away in a panic. The boat on the water in the distance hurriedly lifted anchor, left it and ran away with everyone!

Ma Tie's personal commander of 6,000 war horsemen escaped from Xiangyang and suddenly appeared on the ferry of the Jiangdong Army. However, they were already late, the main force of the Jiangdong Army and their families had already fled across the river, and Ma Tie only intercepted the civilians who tried to cross the river.

The Xiangyang garrison did not see the enemy troops coming from the west, but first heard the news that the ferry was occupied by Lu Bu's army, and was shocked, completely confused, and the loss of the ferry meant that they had no way to escape!

"General, look!" An officer next to him shouted.

The guard hurriedly looked out of the city in the direction of his finger, and saw a heavy tide of soldiers surging, rolling up smoke and dust in the sky, and the earth trembled. It is all cavalry, the legendary invincible blue wolf army iron cavalry, and the fierce general of the silver-armored black horse who walks in the front is the first general under Lu Bu, Ma Chao! The murderous aura of the waves is overwhelming, although it is still far away, but it is enough to make people feel frightened.

The people on the city wall were terrified and at a loss. The officer to the right of the guard stammered and asked the guard: "General, we, what should we do?" ”

The Keeper didn't know how to answer.

The one on the left side of the guard said: "General, if you want to set fire to the achievement, it's now!" ”

The officer on the right hurriedly shouted, "No, no! We have no way to escape, if we set fire to the city and be caught by Lu Bujun, there is only one way to die! It's better to surrender! At least we can save our lives! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be moved, but the guard didn't make a decision immediately, he was still hesitating.

Ma Chao led nearly 100,000 turbid cavalry to come in a mighty way, and the war cavalry spread out to both sides, forming three shock clusters, they were ready to attack, as long as Sun Jianjun came out to fight, they would completely wipe out each other with the strongest impact wave!

Ma Chao looked up and saw a knight galloping out of the city gate and coming straight up.

Ma Chao raised his right hand, and the army stopped, and the rumbling and dull sound came to an abrupt end.

The knight galloped all the way to Ma Chao, hurriedly reined in his horse, rolled over the horse, and bowed: "The villain is an officer in the city, may I ask if Your Excellency is General Ma Chao?" ”

Ma Chao nodded, "It's me." Are you fighting or surrendering? ”

The knight hurriedly said: "We don't dare to fight the general!" My general is willing to sacrifice the city, and I ask the general to spare the lives of the whole city! ”

Ma Chao said: "As long as you go out of the city and surrender sincerely, no one will hurt you!" As for the people, how can our army harm the people if they punish the crime on behalf of heaven? He pointed at the knight and warned, "Hugh is going to play tricks on me!" Otherwise, you will die without a place to bury! The knight hurriedly said, "How dare I?" ”

Ma Chao took back the horse lance and said in an unquestionable tone: "If you really surrender the city, go out of the city immediately!" I'll just wait for a quarter of an hour, and I won't wait for it to be outdated! ”

The knight answered, and hurried back.

Ma Chao's army went out to the city wall, and it was best to prepare for the attack. Ma Chao didn't care too much about whether the thousands of defenders in the city surrendered, it was better to surrender, just go in if you didn't surrender!

As the minutes passed, Ma Dai came over and said, "Big brother, the time is almost up." ”

Ma Chao sneered and raised the horse lance in his hand, he was about to give the order to attack.

At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and nearly a thousand soldiers and horses poured out of the city, rushed to the front of Ma Chao's army, and left one after another, kneeling down, and the leading general shouted: "We will surrender to the general!" ”

Ma Chao put down the horse lance and smiled proudly.
