Cao Cao decided to forcibly tackle the key problems after discussing with his number one strategist, Xi Zhicai, but this kind of forcible tackling is not relying on human lives to pile up, you must know that the troops he sent to Yizhou this time are all elite, and a small part of the casualties are enough to make him feel distressed, not to mention using human lives to pile up dangers. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)
According to Xi Zhicai's construction, it is to learn from Yang Tian's previous combat methods, rely on powerful generals to open the gap, and then expand the results, and then occupy the dangerous pass. It's just that this kind of combat method requires a large number of master generals, and with the original strength of Cao Cao, it can support this style of fighting. But now the most powerful group of people in Yanzhou have been arranged to other places, so now Cao Cao feels a little stretched.
However, Cao Cao still had a way, and he immediately sent people to Jizhou to ask Yuan Shao to borrow troops from him.
Yuan Shao got the benefits, and the people Cao Cao borrowed were all powerful people, Yuan Shao felt that these generals would not suffer any losses even if they lent out, so he happily agreed. What's more, this operation was originally aimed at Baiyun City, so Yuan Shao was also willing to do it. If it weren't for the fact that he was fighting with Youzhou in full swing now, I am afraid that he would also intervene in this battle.
The attack on Youzhou is not bad for this day or two, and in the case of having a teleportation array, these loaned masters can return in two or three days at most, so Yuan Shao is not worried about anything.
……
Liu Biao really didn't expect that Yang Tian, who was originally in full swing in Yuzhou, suddenly appeared in Jingzhou, and began to attack Xiangyang City as soon as he appeared.
This frightened Liu Biao a lot, because he happened to stay in the City Lord's Mansion in Xiangyang City at this time. That is, in his state governor's mansion. Now, Yang Tian has led hundreds of elite soldiers to attack the City Lord's Mansion. If he can still stay here calmly at this time. Then his psychological element is too good.
The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, Liu Biao immediately made a decision, immediately carried out a simple disguise, and slipped away through the back door of the city lord's mansion. Of course, there were also some subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion who saw the opportunity quickly. With these people under their cover, Liu Biao's escape process was very smooth.
However, the matter was far from ending like this, although Yang Tian did not know that Liu Biao was in Xiangyang City at first. Let him take advantage of the loophole and slip away. But when Yang Tian occupied the City Lord's Mansion, he learned about Liu Biao from some of the people of the City Lord's Mansion, this guy was still here before he attacked the City Lord's Mansion, and he knew that he should have set up a large army to surround the major exits of the City Lord's Mansion, as long as he could catch Liu Biao, the problem of Jingzhou would be completely solved. But now that this guy has run away, it's not easy to catch him.
But Yang Tian didn't plan to leave it at that. He was ruthless in his heart, and immediately ordered more than a hundred Iron Eagle Warriors to grab the captured guards in the City Lord's Mansion, and then ascended to the sky. They had only one task, and that was to publicize that Liu Biao escaped from the City Lord's Mansion and hid in order to avoid Yang Tian's attack. Now Liu Biao must still be hiding in Xiangyang City, as long as Liu Biao does not show up. The Iron Eagle Warrior threw a guard from the air every minute until it appeared.
In fact, as long as people with a little insight know, Liu Biao will never dare to come out at this time, because coming out at this time will only be a dead end. As for those guards, they can be recruited again if they die. But he only has one life, let alone Liu Biao. Even if Yang Tian himself faced this situation, he would not stand up. Of course, the premise is that Yang Tian only has one life, otherwise he may come out to save these guards in order to protect his reputation.
More than 100 captured guards were all killed in Huangquan after more than an hour, and Liu Biao's name of life and death regardless of his subordinates also resounded throughout the city and was known to everyone. Of course, Liu Biaoxiàn has no ability to suppress the spread of rumors at all.
Yang Tian did not think of finding Liu Biao out of the tens of millions of residents in Xiangyang City, this is an impossible task. He can now stink Liu Biao's reputation, and he can be regarded as half of the task. Next, Yang Tian was going to smash the city stone monument of Xiangyang City and then occupy it. Although it was impossible for Yang Tian to really take Xiangyang City for himself, it could undermine the confidence of the Jingzhou army and affect their morale.
The counterattack of the defenders of Xiangyang City against the City Lord's Mansion never stopped, and as Yang began to attack the city stele, this counterattack became more intense, which also made Yang Tian even more convinced that Liu Biao was in Xiangyang City, but so what? He still couldn't figure it out.
A few hours later, Xiangyang City changed hands, and for a time Liu Biao lost control of Jingzhou, and before he could designate a new main city, the teleportation of various cities in Jingzhou would be completely paralyzed.
However, at this time, Liu Biao did not dare to re-designate the main city, because the designation of the new main city indicated that he believed that he would not be able to recapture Xiangyang City in a short period of time, and the morale of the entire Jingzhou army would be extremely huge. Moreover, Liu Biao believed that although the strength of the army under Yang Tian was strong, its combat effectiveness was limited after all, and it was impossible for them to face the attack of their own army for a long time. No matter how strong a person's strength is, it is not iron-clad after all, and he will always be tired. As soon as they get tired, their strength will be greatly reduced, and then it will be the best time for them to fight back.
The number of troops in Xiangyang City is now smaller than usual, because some of the elite troops have been transferred to the eastern region to prepare to attack Yangzhou. But even so, the army of the entire Xiangyang City has nearly two million, and these two million troops are also Liu Biao's spiritual pillars.
The bloody battle for the City Lord's Mansion began, in fact, it was not very accurate to say that it started, because from the time Yang Tian attacked the City Lord's Mansion of Xiangyang City, the two sides had already fought for the City Lord's Mansion. But now this battle is more like a battle, and they are fighting around the walls of the city lord's mansion like a siege.
Death is the leitmotif of this moment, and no soldier who rushes forward will be spared. Every second, thousands of Xiangyang defenders attacked the City Lord's Mansion, but under the frantic attack of the Iron Eagle Warriors in the City Lord's Mansion, very few of these soldiers were able to rush under the wall.
However, as the battle continued, the wall, which was not very thick, was blown down by the boulders thrown by the catapults, and the Iron Eagle Legion was directly exposed to the attack of the defenders of Xiangyang. At this time, the defenders of Xiangyang brought the most terrifying weapon, the ballista! They also understood that it was difficult to defeat the White Cloud City Iron Eagle Legion by relying only on the attack of the soldiers, so they had to resort to ballistas. Even the crossbow arrows fired by the lowest-level ballista can cause huge damage to the ninth-order Iron Eagle Sharps, which is the result of verification by the major forces.
However, before their ballista could start attacking, the side of Baiyun City began to threaten, and the fifty divine envoy guards, under the leadership of Yang Tian, directly rushed out of the defense line, like a torrent swept towards the Xiangyang defenders. And their targets were the ballistae that had just been carried over.
Although the defenders of Xiangyang tried their best to block the impact of Yang Tian and others, could the mantis arm stop the car? Yang Tian and the others destroyed the defense line of the Xiangyang defenders, and Yang Tian personally took action to get all the ballistas into his Xuanji ring.
In less than a minute, Yang Tian and the others rushed along the wall of the City Lord's Mansion and confiscated all the hundreds of ballistas. After completing the task, Yang Tian returned to the City Lord's Mansion with the divine envoy guards, and in the whole process, none of the fifty-one people were killed in battle. There were one or two who were hurt, but that didn't hurt.
Next, the ballista carts were placed on the roofs of some of the temples in the City Lord's Mansion, and they adjusted their angles and aimed directly at the Xiangyang defenders who were like a tide. There is no need to aim at all, a crossbow arrow is fired, and there will always be two or three unlucky eggs who have been pierced through the sugar gourd.
The defenders of Xiangyang were dumbfounded, they were originally used to deal with the Baiyun City army, but how could they be robbed by the other party in a blink of an eye? Isn't that too mysterious? However, the strength of Yang Tian and the others was obvious to all, and no one thought that they could stop their rush.
Do you just give up? That is naturally impossible, even if Baiyun City has twice as many ballistas, they will not give up on retaking the City Lord's Mansion, because this matter has already been ordered by Liu Biao to die, once the existing people are passive and slack, they will be beheaded on the spot. Besides, all these crossbow carts used in Baiyun City were snatched from their own side, and they didn't grab any crossbow arrows at that time, even if the other party carried some crossbow arrows with them, it would not be possible to consume them for a long time, as long as the crossbow arrows were used up, those ballista cars would naturally become decorations.
It was not only those soldiers who had this idea, but also Liu Biao himself, although he did not appear on the battlefield, he was well aware of the changes in the shape of the battlefield. However, he didn't expect that the resources in Yang Tian's Xuanji Ring were almost endless, although he really didn't bring many crossbow arrows before, but don't forget, Baiyun City and Xuanji City can directly communicate with the Guò Teleportation Array, and it is too easy to transport supplies, and just a few crossbow arrows are naturally not a problem.
After four or five hours of fighting, Liu Biao was almost about to scold his mother! Why is this Yang Tian carrying so many crossbow arrows on his body? That's at least tens of thousands of shots, right? It brought huge casualties to the side of the defenders of Xiangyang. What made Liu Biao most depressed was that it seemed that this guy really didn't have a ballista, could it be that Yang Tian had already made up his mind to snatch the ballista from himself? Is this self-digging your own grave?
Liu Biao had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, he was now completely forced to go to Liangshan, and he couldn't even stop the counterattack on the City Lord's Mansion, because once he stopped, the huge price he had paid before would be wasted, and he gave the Baiyun City army a chance to rest in vain. Therefore, even if there will be greater losses if the attack continues, Liu Biao can only insist.
