Although Jing Yan was destroyed by Xu Huang's army, Cao's army did not stop the attack, but strengthened the attack. Le Jin, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Cao Zhang, and Xu Chu took turns attacking the city day and night, completely regardless of losses. After one soldier was finished, Cao Cao sent another one to make up for it, in short, not to stop the attack.

At the same time, Cao Cao also asked Liu Ying to command the craftsmen to go back to the vicinity to cut down trees and build wells, preparing for a more fierce attack.

The five generals took turns to attack the city, which naturally dealt a great blow to Xiangcheng, and the soldiers in Xiangcheng suffered heavy casualties. In the face of the attack of the Cao army day and night, Xu Huang could only let the defenders of the city take turns to rest and go to the city in batches to defend the palace, fortunately, Hu Zhen has been operating in Xiangcheng for more than ten years, and the war materials in the city are well stocked. Once Cao's army was strong, Xu Huang would have his soldiers throw fire oil into the city, and the fire that ignited cut off Cao's attack. At the same time, the trebuchets above the city did not stop counterattacking, which made Cao's army return in vain every time.

However, Xu Huang is also full of worries about this stalemate situation. At the beginning, Cao Zhang, Xu Yan, Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Li Dian attacked the city together, and the five Cao Junxiao generals almost captured Xiangcheng. It was also the emperor under the city who reacted quickly enough, and when he saw that the city was not good, he immediately led all the reserves to resist. At the same time, Hu Zhen set fire in time, and Xu Huang alone attacked Li Dian, Yu Ban, and Le Jin, and the three generals were able to repel Cao Jun dangerously.

However, the price paid by Zhang Xiujun's side was very great, and more than 8,000 military years were lost in this battle alone, and more than one-third of Xiangcheng was reduced. However, many of them were just wounded, and after bandaging, they were forced to go to the city to defend again. What's more unfortunate is that Hu Zhen fought with Cao Zhang, lost the enemy and was seriously injured by Cao Zhang, fortunately Huangfu Li led a large group of soldiers to come to the rescue in time, and the fire under the city has been burned. Xu Chu was afraid that Cao Zhang would lose something, so he persuaded Cao Zhang to retire.

Otherwise, with the courage of the two, they could naturally kill Huangfu Li and Hu Zhen, who were surrounded by the defenders, and kill the two. However, in this way, the two people who were cut off by the fire may not be able to escape the siege and death of the defenders in the city. Despite this, Hu Zhen's legs were broken, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the battlefield again in the future.

What worries Xu Huang even more is that outside the city, Cao Jun is cutting down wood to build wells. The defenders in the city still have lingering fears about Jing Yan's terrifying lethality, but now that Cao Jun has rebuilt Jing Yan, they are extremely worried. It must be known that it is no longer possible to organize a cavalry army in the city to break out of the city and destroy the well, and the cavalry can come back with less than 200 people. Moreover, because the war horses had to rush through the wall of fire when entering and leaving the city, they were all burned to varying degrees, as well as the knife and gun injuries during the big battle, the two hundred soldiers were fine, but the two hundred war horses were no longer usable.

Therefore, now everyone in Xiangcheng has a hunch that when Cao Junjing is built, it will be the day when Xiangcheng City is broken. Although Xu Huang couldn't help but boost morale, he couldn't stop this kind of thinking in the city, and even Xu Huang himself didn't say it, but he thought the same thing in his heart.

The only hope that Xu Huang can hope for now is that before Cao Junjing's well is built, reinforcements can arrive. As long as the reinforcements arrive, Xiangcheng can be saved, which is also Xu Huang's last magic weapon to boost the morale of the defenders in the city. Xiangcheng is in danger, and what about the defenders who are pinned on by Xu Huang at this time, and let us play back the camera.

Just when Cao Cao's army went out of Xuchang to attack Xiangcheng, Liu Bei had already received a reply from Sun Jian in Jiangdong who promised to do things, which meant that the Sun-Liu alliance had been consolidated.

In this way, Liu Bei was also relieved to lead his troops into Shu to attack Jiangzhou, and on the Xiangyang side, Guan Yu and Xu Shu were also ready to raise troops to attack Nanyang with Cao Cao.

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan of Youzhou and Meng Huo, the king of the Southern Barbarians, also raised troops to attack the land under Zhang Xiu's rule, so that the war was already in full swing, Xiahou Yuan attacked Yanmen, and Ma Dai was stationed at the pass. Meng Huo's army attacked Yizhou, but Yang Huai and Gao Pei could not resist the enemy for a while, and Li Hui immediately asked Chengdu for reinforcements.

Huang Zhong, a veteran who was recuperating from his wounds in Chengdu, asked for an order to take command and lead a 50,000-strong army of recruits and elite troops south to resist the attack of the Southern Barbarians.

On the Hebei side, Xiahou rebelled and no longer defended, and led a large-scale attack on Hanoi, and the advantage of numbers made Zhao Yun's army fall into a bitter battle for a while.

At this point, Zhuge Liang's nine-way army can be said to be in full swing, and Zhang Xiu will face the most powerful offensive in the history of China since the end of the Han Dynasty!

Such a huge battlefield, even if the six countries jointly attacked back then, I am afraid that it could not be compared, and the millions of troops involved were even more incomparable to the number of participants in the war at that time. And more importantly, the so-called joint attack on Qin by the six countries back then was not a joint attack by the six eyes. Now Cao Liu unites one side, and Cao Cao is revenge: $ The hatred of breaking the robe, and even more to eliminate Zhang Xiu, the biggest opponent, can be said to have used all the available troops. And Liu Bei's side is the same, in order to expand the territory and survive, Liu Bei will make the best of Jingzhou, and at the same time the army in the south is not much, in order to make up for this shortcoming, "Paid off the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu and the Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoke two barbarian soldiers attacked together, the battlefield stretched from north to south for thousands of miles, covering almost the entire China, which shows the vastness of this battle!" At this time, in the Yazhong of Fancheng County, in addition to the guard general Huang Xu, Gan Ning and Chen Gong were all here.

Huang Xu was the first to say: "Gongtai is first, and now Xiangcheng is in an emergency." General Xu has sent people to Wancheng many times to urge our army to break through the Jingzhou Guan Yu headquarters as soon as possible and send reinforcements to support Xiangcheng. We won't delay any longer, General Xu's side will have to withstand the attack of 200,000 Cao troops! ”

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Why should Zi Zheng be in a hurry, the naval warship is huge, and the time spent before was all on the transport warship. Now that the warships of the navy have arrived in the Han River, our army is already in control of the victory against the Jingzhou army! As for whether the battle can be resolved quickly, it depends on how powerful Xingba is. Huang Xu listened) puzzled = "Gongtai first means one one one"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "The key to the battle with Guan Yu is actually in the water army, as long as Xingba defeats the Jingzhou water army, there will be no crisis in the south of Nanyang." ”

Huang Xu has been in Fancheng for many years, so he naturally knows that now Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei are ruling by dividing the river, and the Han River in the south and the water control in the east are the best barriers. In the past, these two waterways were controlled by the Jingzhou Navy, and Nanyang was repeatedly invaded, but now Zhang Xiu's elite navy trained for many years plus new warships has the strength to compete with the Jingzhou Navy for control of the two waters. Once Zhang Xiu's side controls Hanshui and Lishui, then the situation will be completely opposite, even if Xiangyang has more troops, it will not be able to cross the river and enter Nanyang.

Huang Xu figured out the situation, but turned his head to look at Gan Ning, only to see Gan Ning chuckle and say: "Without Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the Jingzhou Navy still has the strength to fight?" Even if Chun Mao and Zhang You are here, with the broken ships of the Jingzhou Navy at this time, they are no longer the opponents of our Navy Army, let alone the two of them are gone. After speaking, Gan Ning paused, turned his eyes to Chen Gong, and continued: "But although I am confident that I can win the Jingzhou Navy, I can't do it if they don't come out."

Chen Gong smiled: "If they don't come out, force them out!" ”

Huang Xu and Gan Ning heard it and said strangely: "Forced out? ”

Chen Gong laughed and said to Gan Ning: "Xingba was invincible in the Yangtze River before, and I believe that this matter will not stump Xingba." Gan Ning heard this and asked, "What is the best plan for sir?" ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Xingba drove the naval warship and went south along the Han River, plundering the county towns along the coast along the way. If the county seat is broken, the palace will not believe that it will not be able to force the Jingzhou naval army out! If you don't come out, you will go to Nanjun, and if you can't fight to Jiangxia and Jingnan! In the end, Chen Gong showed a vicious look.

Gan Ning heard this, his face was even more joyful, and what he did before he joined Zhang Xiu was these things, "It's just that I went to the water later, and I haven't done it for a few years since I entered Yizhou. Now as soon as Chen Gong opened his mouth, he asked Gan Ning to do this, which was naturally right for Gan Ning's riser. Seeing this, Chen Gong reminded: "Xingba and try to hurt the people as little as possible." Gan Ning nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, Ning Zi knows." ”

Chen Gong nodded and smiled: "In this way, the palace wishes Xingba success!" Gan Ning smiled slightly, bowed back and turned out.

Yicheng, a relatively large city in Xiangyang County, is located in the southeast of Xiangyang City, near the Han River. Today, the people of Yicheng go out of the city to fish, work ......, rJzJ,,,,,, "The ringing of the bell?" "How can there be a bell ringing?"

The crisp sound of the bell suddenly sounded above the Han River, making the people of Yicheng who were working by the Han River unconsciously look up at the north where the bell rang. "Huh...... What is that? "Daddy...... It's big...... What is that? "Wow...... That's a big ship! "Daddy...... This ship is really big! ”

Some of the elderly people were frightened when they saw the big picture approaching from the north. These elderly fishermen have all seen the warships of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and these warships in front of them are much bigger than the warships. All the fishermen were terrified. 1 Ding Ding Ding ......"

Some of the elderly fishermen frowned unconsciously when they heard the ringing bells. I don't know where I heard the ringing of a bell, and I was very familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while. "Daddy, look. The people on the ship must have been dignitaries, and their bows were made of silk and satin. "Satin ...... Jinfan! Jin Fan Lang is here! The sail thief is not over! ”

As soon as these words came out, the fishermen who were fishing on the Han River kept running to the shore, and the fishermen on the shore who had not yet entered the water did not even need fishing tools, so they spread their legs and ran. The fishermen did not dare to go out on the water in boats. Jinfan's murderous reputation has been publicized by Liu Biao and Liu Bei for two generations, and most of the people in Jingzhou who have never seen Jinfan are extremely frightened. Knowing that these water thieves are extremely good, they can't outrun them from the water.

Seeing the people rushing to escape, a soldier of the Jinfan Battalion on the flagship asked Gan Ning: "Boss! In the past, we always welcomed the people when they saw the brakes, but now how can we ......?"

Seeing this, Gan Ning smiled coldly and said, "It's not that Liu Biao and Liu Bei are slandering us!" Don't worry about the people first, that is Yicheng over there, let the brothers go to attack the city with Lao Tzu! When the sailors on the ship heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "No......"

Gan Ning held the iron rope in his hand, jumped off the big boat first, and led the sailor soldiers and the soldiers of the Jinfan battalion to rush towards Yicheng.

Yicheng was originally on the shore of the Han River, and Gan Ning led a large group of sailors to the shore, and soon arrived at the edge of Deyi City. At this time, the soldiers defending the city had just received news from the people, knowing that the enemy army was coming, and was preparing to close the city gate. However, the matter was too hasty, and the city gate was so chaotic and crowded with people that the defenders could not close the city gate at all.

Gan Ning saw it, and shouted: "Jinfan Gan Ning is here, all the irrelevant people get out of the way, otherwise you will not be compensated for being hacked to death by Lao Tzu!" Brothers, kill! After saying that, Gan Ning danced the iron rope and rushed into the crowd first.

Gan Ning's murderous name has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of these people, and Gan Ning rushed in with a rope in his hand, and beat anyone he saw. However, the end of the rope was not equipped with the sharp weapon of the spear, so the person who was hit would only break a few bones at most.

Gan Ning rushed into the crowd, the people rushed to avoid, the defenders saw that Gan Ning led the crowd to kill, but it was a knife to meet it, Gan Ning snorted coldly, and the end of the iron cable was directly thrown out of the gun head, and the lethality of the end of the gun head was completely different. Only two soft sounds of "poof" were heard, and the two defenders were killed directly.

Gan Ning saw that the other defenders were only coming at this time, sneered, and shouted: "The navy occupies the city gate, and Jinfan's brothers and Lao Tzu rush in!" Kill! ”

With Gan Ning's murderer here, the Yicheng defenders were not opponents at all, and after the Yicheng defenders were pierced through the heart by Gan Ning's iron rope, Yicheng County ordered to surrender immediately.

Gan Ning immediately asked people to open the treasury of Yicheng and move out all the grain inside. Then, according to the rules of the previous crossing of the Yangtze River, part of the ruthenium grain was distributed to the people, and those who were injured at the city gate received more money and grain. In the end, the rest of the rations were transported to the warship, and then sailed away.

Gan Ning and the others came and went quickly, and it was only an hour before and after attacking relatively large cities such as Yichengyun, and most of the rest of the time was wasted on carrying grain. The people of Yicheng held the money and food they had just received from the soldiers of the Jinfan Battalion, and sent Gan Ning and the others away, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief. Many people in Yicheng muttered to themselves: "Is this the rumored fierce Jinfan thief?" It seems that they are not murderous thieves either! ”

Gan Ning naturally didn't think about what the people of Yicheng would say about him, so he just continued to kill the next city like a battle. For three days in a row, Gan Ning led Zhang Xiu's army to raid the cities along the Han River, and the main place of plundering was in Xiangyang County. Sometimes when he went to some places where the defenders were weak, he led the sailors to go deep into them, and broke through several cities before coming out. For a while, Xiangcheng County was extremely panicked, and the information asking for help was piled up on Guan Yu and Xu Shu's table like snowflakes.
