"Okay, okay." Liu Qi's heart was like suddenly pouring a basin of cold water in the middle of summer, and the delicacy of his whole body was comfortably called.

The people of Jingzhou already had trust in Liu Wei, and when they heard this, the silent atmosphere was swept away, and Liu Qi shouted.

"Go back to camp and drink!"

……

"Newspaper... A messenger arrived in Xiangyang. ”

After reading the letter and taking the saber symbolizing the supreme military commander of Jingzhou, Liu Qi couldn't help laughing, "Holding Qingfeng Dingshan River, I, Liu Qi, will definitely complete the mission given to me by my father and let Cao Mengde know the history of the Jingzhou army." ”

Seeing that Kuai Yue really persuaded Liu Biao to support Liu Qi, Liu Wei was secretly happy, as long as there was the help of the Kuai family, no matter how good Cai's kung fu was, it would not be able to match the absolute strength.

Now, Liu Wei's biggest target is Xun Yu, who is known as the talent of Wang Zuozhi in the late Han Dynasty.

Kunyang is an important supply base for Cao's army, and the defenders of the city have used eighteen kinds of martial arts, and Cao Apu will spare no effort to come to the rescue, Liu Wei knows that the time left for himself will not be very sufficient.

It can be seen from today's siege situation that there are not many defenders in Kunyang, and many of them have gone to the city to participate in the defense.

Xun Yu may be paralyzed by today's battle situation, thinking that the attacker is nothing more than that, Liu Wei immediately made a decision and decided to break the city tomorrow, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

……

"The eldest prince, the more than ten tunnels we dug today are progressing smoothly, there are not many defenders in Kunyang City, and the left and right can't be taken into account, if you don't have a surprise, our tunnels can be dug through within five days, and Kunyang will be broken by then."

Li Tong was temporarily appointed by Liu Qi as a cavalry lieutenant, and happily reported the situation of the tunnel.

It was Liu Wei's idea to dig tunnels to siege the city, so as to disperse the defenders' forces and estimate the number of troops in the city.

Second, the method of attacking the city through the tunnel is a very useful means, Liu Wei wants to make Xun Yu think that this tunnel is the ultimate method of warfare, and focus on the tunnel, and he can't imagine that his real siege action is tomorrow.

Compared with the attackers and defenders, the biggest advantage of the attack method is that it can flexibly choose the siege method, while the defender can only guess the behavior of the attacker according to the situation of the battlefield, and is always the passive side.

"Everyone.

Liu Wei stood up, "Cao Mengde won't give our army too much time, we still have a Xizhong in the south, and there is no void under the fame, we don't know what tricks he will use to relieve the siege of Kunyang." Liu Wei looked at several generals and said: "Tomorrow, you will perform your duties and capture Kunyang as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"No!"

……

In Kunyang City, Xun Yu also looked ugly, in one day, the soldiers in the city were reduced by half, and there were less than 1,000 capable fighters.

"My lord, retreat, this city is difficult to defend!" The henchman whispered in his ear.

Xun Yu didn't speak, returned to the mansion after inspecting the city defense, sat on the chair alone for a while, sighed, called a few henchmen, and went to the baggage warehouse together.

"You wait inside and outside the warehouse to prepare things for fire, and once the city is broken, you will set fire to burn the baggage." Xun Yu said to the general guarding the warehouse.

"My lord, it's all burned?" General Tun looked at the mountain of supplies, grain and grass, and couldn't help but ask again.

Xun Yu nodded, "I'd rather burn it than be an enemy." ”

"No!"

General Tun agreed, and led all the soldiers to kneel on the ground.

"My lord, we are willing to give up this life to protect your adult and fight your way out of the siege tonight."

Xun Yu looked at the group of soldiers and said softly: "Kunyang is Cao Gong's logistics base, until the last resort, Yu will not give up, tomorrow let the strong men go to the city wall, the strong momentum is good, according to an estimate, the enemy's tunnel will take a few days, maybe in these few days, the situation will be variable." ”

After inspiring the army, Xun Yu returned to the mansion, but saw that Cao Cao's henchmen were already waiting in the lobby.

"Gong Cao has a letter to hand over to your lordship, please do what you are instructed in the letter."

After reading the letter, the heaviness on Xun Yu's face relaxed a little.

The henchman said urgently: "My lord, Cao Gong told me a thousand times, even if Kunyang is lost, it can be recaptured, and please leave the dangerous place quickly." ”

Xun Yu sighed softly, "Cao Gong's love for Yu is really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!" ”

After thinking about it, Xun Yu asked the envoy to go down to the hall to rest, and decided to hold on for a few more days, trying to keep Kunyang's baggage.

……

The morning sun rose, Xun Yu looked at the Jingzhou army that had set up the siege formation early, and did not dare to slack off, so that all those who could fight went to the city, and let many young and strong people wear armor to strengthen their momentum.

"My lord, seeing that the city is so well guarded, these Jingzhou troops will be afraid!" Through yesterday's battle, Qin Peng had some confidence in the combat power of the Jingzhou army, and his heart was a little more stable.

"The focus is to guard against those tunnels, mobilize more people to listen, and once the approximate location of the tunnels is found, they will be prepared to attack with water and fire."

"No."

The relaxed smile on Xun Yu's face, coupled with the fresh breeze in the early morning, made the atmosphere in Kunyang City look relaxed and confident.

Under the city, Liu Bian, Lu Yin, Wei Yan, Li Tong, and Chen Zhizheng were surrounded in one place, watching Liu Bian carefully explain the method of attacking the city.

Pang Tong and Xiahou Juan talked about life with their ideals, and they had forgotten the crisis faced by the principal, and Liu Bi, the method of siege, thought that he was no worse than Feng Xiao's level, so he gave him enough time to pick up girls.

To be a man, you must always have a grateful heart, Liu Wei thinks that Pang Tonghui always thinks of his various kindnesses to him.

"After you understand, you will go your separate ways, and there is only one requirement today - go all out, when the sun sets, we must stand in Kunyang City."

"Dare not to die!"

After listening to Liu Bian's method of attacking the city, although the generals did not understand it too well, they thought that Liu Bian would take charge of the main attack, and looking at his confident appearance, the generals also put away their doubts and began to command the troops to make the final preparations before the siege.

The Jingzhou army surrounded the south, west and north gates of Kunyang, leaving the east gate, which is a common method of encircling the three in the siege war.

Most famous generals know that although some soldiers can escape from the life gate set aside, once they abandon the city and flee, they are no different from lambs to be slaughtered, so as long as there is hope of sticking to it, the generals defending the city will not make the decision to abandon the city.

The south gate of Wei Yan's main attack was the first to begin, with thousands of soldiers holding shields in front and pressing towards the city wall, followed by archers and siege troops carrying ladders.

After entering the firing range, the besieging soldiers let out a shout, and the tide rushed up, and the arrows on the city fell like locusts, and the screams and roars mixed into a tragic pattern.

Wei Yan's face was expressionless, he was already in the range of the shot, commanding the soldiers to fight, and the soldiers saw that the general was taking the lead, and the soldiers collectively burst out with great courage.
