According to Liu Biao's idea, as long as he temporarily dragged the main army of Baiyun City, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang would immediately send troops to attack Lujiang County. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) At that time, Yang Tian was attacked by the enemy, and in order not to lose his territory, he had to send troops back to help, so that the siege of Jingzhou would naturally be lifted.

When Liu Biao arranged the mobilization of his own army, he also passed the news that Jingzhou was attacked by the Baiyuncheng army to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

A few hours later, the Fourth Route Army of Baiyun City finally reached its first destination, and they began to attack the city without making any stops. This time, the Baiyun City army finally used the secret weapon that had been hidden all along, attacking the city and charging the car!

Yang Tian had already obtained the drawings of the siege car, and Baiyun City also carried out unlimited manufacturing for the first time. However, because every siege battle after this was not very difficult, Yang Tian did not put the siege car on the battlefield. But this time the situation was different, in every city he chose to attack, there were a large number of troops stationed, and all of them were Jingzhou's elite troops. If the walls are not destroyed in the first place, they will inflict heavy casualties on the legions.

Moreover, the siege of the city can play some deterrent role in a certain distance, and now Yang Tian also wants to establish his authority, so that other forces do not dare to touch the tiger whiskers of Baiyun City, so it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to use this relatively tough siege method.

Each of these armies carried hundreds of siege chariots, which was extremely spectacular when lined up, but the defenders on the city walls didn't think so, they thought it was a terrible thing! How could Baiyun City have so many siege vehicles? They all felt that the other party was using the city they were in as the main direction of attack. Don't you know, in the four-way army of Baiyun City. Every army is the same configuration.

The battles of the four cities started one after another, and at this time, those defending troops finally really felt the strength of Baiyun City!

This is the first time that the Jingzhou army has confronted Baiyun City head-on, which makes them have a feeling that the enemies they have encountered before are all local chickens and dogs, and the Baiyun City army they face today is really too strong. This is not only the strength of individual force, but also the luxury of equipment and the tip of siege equipment, which put great pressure on the defending army.

In fact, there was no suspense in this war from the beginning, and Baiyun City put up a dignified army in order to sweep the past with an overwhelming advantage. In order to shock the world. Almost every city lasted less than twenty minutes. All the gates had already been smashed open by the siege trucks. The Baiyun City army that rushed into the city did not immediately sweep the city, but turned around and attacked the city wall, and attacked the army outside the city inside and outside, making the already precarious city wall even worse. Piece by piece, the walls fell.

I have to say. The will to fight of these elite troops in Jingzhou is still very firm. Although their defeat is now revealed, they continue to resist stubbornly.

In fact, the most important thing for the Jingzhou army is in terms of high-end force. Compared with Baiyun City, Jingzhou has almost no generals to fight with, which also determines the inevitable outcome of this war. Although only high-end forces cannot control the overall situation, under the leadership of these strong generals or a large number of high-ranking soldiers, they can easily tear through the enemy's defense line, divide it, and outflank it.

The four cities that Baiyun City chose to attack this time were all county seats, but the number of troops in the city exceeded two million. In fact, there were originally only more than one million garrisons in these cities, and the rest of the troops were reinforced by Liu Biao from other cities after he learned that the Baiyun City army had invaded Jingzhou. And these troops transferred over are also the most elite forces in Jingzhou, basically reaching the eighth-order strength.

Putting aside factors such as generals and equipment, as well as the rank of the legion, the defenders of Jingzhou were not much weaker than the army of Baiyun City. However, it was precisely because of those factors that Baiyun City had an absolute advantage in this battle.

After more than an hour, almost all the walls of the cities fell and the defenders of Jingzhou suffered heavy losses, and then they entered the stage of street fighting, and the two sides fought for every inch of land in the city......

Liu Biaoxi was very entangled, he had already received the news that his army was completely inferior shortly after the siege began, but he did not think of any remedy. Now, due to the start of the war, the teleportation array is no longer usable, and the only way to reinforce these cities is to go long distances. If you send infantry, it is estimated that these cities have already fallen after arriving at the destination, so should you rely on these reinforcements to recapture the cities from Baiyun City? This doesn't seem realistic, could it be that cavalry should be sent to reinforcements? This is a solution, but the key is that there are not many cavalry in Jingzhou, and this army alone cannot turn the tide of the war at all.

In the end, Liu Biao had to accept the reality that these four cities would fall. However, this did not mean that Liu Biao admitted that he had lost, and although the four cities would fall, he did not order the troops in the city to retreat. There are two factors he considered, first of all, if he retreats at this time, he will inevitably be pursued by Baiyun City, and there will definitely not be many troops that can be withdrawn. Second, he needed the armies of these four cities to delay him so that he could gather more troops at the front and lay a stronger defensive line.

Liu Biao did not expect that he would be able to defeat the Baiyun City army, if he had the strength to defeat Baiyun City, he would not cooperate with Cao Cao, Zhushou and others.

As Liu Biao's firm order reached the four cities that were attacked, the advance of the Baiyun City army became more difficult. However, the hardship is difficult, and the defense line that the Jingzhou defenders can hold up is still getting smaller and smaller.

Four hours later, the Baiyun City army rushed all the way, and finally compressed all the defenders of Jingzhou into the county government. At this time, there was not much left of the army on the Jingzhou side, and the entire two million troops suffered heavy losses in this less than a day of war. The rest of the Jingzhou army was either killed, or because they were divided and surrounded by the Baiyun City army, they had no choice but to surrender in despair.

Even the outer city walls and two million troops were powerless to resist the attack of Baiyun City, not to mention this district, county, and county! Under the coercion and temptation of the Baiyun City army, most of the Jingzhou troops who were surrounded in the county government chose to surrender, and only one of the four cities was still resisting, and this one was one of the county seats in Jiangxia County that Sun Ce attacked. The reason for this result is that Sun Cejun's murderous intent is too heavy, they will not threaten the other party to surrender at all, and sometimes even those who have already surrendered are killed with a knife because the soldiers did not stop for a while. As a result, there are far fewer people willing to surrender. Of course, Sun Ce can't be blamed for this, who let him attack Jiangxia County? His father, Sun Quan, died in Jiangxia. It can be said that in Sun Ce's heart, in addition to Liu Biao being the person who must be killed, the Jiangxia army is also the target of his revenge.

However, Sun Ce is not a vegetarian, among the three major legions he brought, there are many strong generals, under the impact, the city lord's mansion was announced to change hands, and then Sun Ce led people to attack the city stele.

The battles of the four cities ended one after another, announcing that Jingzhou's defense line in Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang counties had been opened by Baiyun City, and it took only half a day.

This battle was the pinnacle of the two major forces of Baiyun City and Jingzhou, especially on the Jingzhou side, because Liu Biao immediately mobilized a large number of elite troops to reinforce these four cities after learning that Baiyun City had attacked Jingzhou, nearly half of the eighth-order elites in the entire Jingzhou were lost in this battle. Liu Biao was greatly distressed by this.

Of course, Baiyun City also suffered some losses in this battle, although this loss was nothing compared to the Jingzhou army, but it had to be admitted that this battle was the largest loss in the history of Baiyun City. Almost every legion lost more than 100,000 men, adding up to almost a million. If it had been before, it would have been equivalent to completely crippling the two main armies. But now, Baiyun City can still bear such a loss.

The biggest reason why Baiyun City's side has such losses is the explosive increase in troops some time ago, although these newly added soldiers have also reached the eighth order, they have only broken through the eighth order, and have not yet reached the peak of the eighth order. At the same time, they newly joined the main army, and they cooperated poorly with each other, and their combat effectiveness could not be fully unleashed. And the personnel lost in this battle are basically these new soldiers. If it weren't for their superior equipment, the loss would have been even greater.

However, after this battle, although the Baiyun City army suffered losses, the overall combat effectiveness did not decline much, and those new members learned a lot in this battle, perhaps only actual combat is the best way to train troops!

Liu Biao also learned the news of the fall of these four county towns, and while he was saddened, he also accelerated the mobilization of troops. It can be said that Liu Biao's deployment is very extreme now, and he concentrated a large number of troops originally distributed at the junction of Jiangxia, Changsha, Guiyang and Yangzhou, and divided them into four parts and deployed them on the only way for the Baiyuncheng army to attack, in order to prevent the Baiyuncheng army from continuing to penetrate.

Guo Jia, who was in charge of commanding in the rear, ignored those, and he directly ordered the army to pull out and go straight to the next target. And this target of attack is also the defensive fortress built by Liu Biao now.

The next battle will undoubtedly determine the fate of Jingzhou, and all those who know about this battle will have their eyes fixed on here. However, the Baiyun City army was still nearly two days away from these four targets, and it would have to wait a long time to know the results.

However, at this time, something that surprised some forces was born, and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou actually mobilized a large army to attack Lujiang County. The vast army of tens of millions makes people not think that Yuan Shu is just fighting the autumn wind! Obviously, Yuan Shu believed that the army of Baiyuncheng had entered Jingzhou, and its internal air defense was weak, and he was ready to take advantage of the situation to seize Yangzhou.
