No matter how collapsed Xiahou Xuan's emotions were, the situation was stronger than people, and in the end, he still had to endure it, just watching Wang Xuan lead his subordinates to occupy Fancheng in a big way.

As for secretly going upstream to destroy the embankment and flood Fancheng, to be honest, this is indeed a temptation, and it doesn't need much, as long as he, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu sneak over, they can chisel the embankment that has just been built in a few clicks.

But the question is......

"Zilian (Cao Hongzi), do you think that despicable, shameless, and shameless Wang Xuan will leave such an obvious flaw for us?"

"Uh......" Cao Hongleng paused, his face was very entangled, half loud, and sighed, "With that cunning guy's temperament, no!" ”

(Wang Xuan: Ah Yan, who praised me again?) ）

"That's it, I think that's the bait left for us, to seduce us over, that guy has seven masters of the same realm as us around him, in the army, we can use the cloud qi of the army to save our lives even if they are besieged, but in the wild......" More words, Xiahoudun didn't say, but everyone here understood what it meant.

When Cao Hong heard this, he couldn't help but see the picture of being besieged in front of him, and he couldn't help but shudder, Li Tong's bones were not cold, he didn't want to follow in Li Tong's footsteps.

This guy is so despicable, Cao Hong scolded fiercely in his heart.

"So what now? Just waiting for that guy to lead someone to attack the city? Huang Zu saw that they hadn't talked about the topic for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask, this is what he is most concerned about, after all, the top families in Jingzhou, including him, all live in Xiangyang City, and one bad thing is that the jade is burned.

Huang Zu's words, the hall suddenly fell into silence, which made Huang Zu keenly aware of the slightest mistake, staring at Xiahou Tang at the top, and asked word by word: "General Xiahou, but something big has happened!" ”

"Indeed!" Xiahoudun groaned a little and then took out the letter sent by Cao Cao, in fact, there were two letters, one was the situation of Xiapi and Gan Ning, and the other was written to Xiahoudun alone, with only eight words on it: Don't do anything, protect yourself.

In the eyes of Cao Cao and others, the current Xiangyang is simply a pit, and it is as much as it can be pulled out, and there can be no other losses anyway.

He Cao Cao, his family background is thin.

The letter went around in the hands of Huang Zu, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and others, and after reading it, the eyes of these representatives of the Jingzhou family were full of despair, and Chen Deng's remarks were indeed impassioned, but ...... It's not a desperate situation as a last resort, who would make this choice, and now, for their Jingzhou family, this is already a desperate situation.

Whether it is Wei Yan taking Xiapi or Gan Ning taking Shouchun, for Cao Cao, these two places are more important than Xiangyang, where is there still the heart to care about Xiangyang's life and death at this moment.

So don't look at the fact that there are still 50,000 troops in the city, and there is enough food to eat for more than three years, but for them, it is only a matter of time before they fall.

It's not that they look down on themselves and elevate Wang Xuan, but that Wang Xuan has made a great name over the years, and no one can hold on to Wang Xuan's hands, which has nothing to do with the number of troops, it is simply metaphysics.

In this regard, Xiahoudun and the others didn't say anything comforting, everyone is a smart person, there is no need to find out many things, they will try their best to defend the city, not for the Jingzhou family, but to delay Wang Xuan's footsteps, in addition, it is impossible for these 50,000 troops to be brought back to the Central Plains, in this case, it is better to consume Wang Xuan's troops as much as possible.

There's nothing wrong with mourning soldiers!

Early the next morning, the Han army began to erect a pontoon bridge on the Han River, these military equipment for the Han army has been modularized, the construction is easy, as for the Cao Jun Naval Division, last time only ran back half of the total, at this moment a group of biao-shaped men each carried weapons on the river bank to eye, Cao Jun Naval Division can only stare at the dry eyes and dare not interfere, watching the pontoon bridge erected.

Two days later, under the city of Xiangyang, Wang Xuan led 15,000 troops to the city, looking at the Xiangyang City that was close to 20 meters, Wang Xuan also looked solemn, strong city, army, strong general, this combination is not easy to fight.

Of course, the main reason is that the troops are too small, only 15,000 people, and at most this wall can only be attacked, in the final analysis, there are still insufficient troops, fortunately, there are more than strong generals, and they are still fighting.

"Trebuchet, shoot!"

The war drums rumbled, and more than 30 trebuchets began to throw boulders at the towering Xiangyang city wall, and the boulders weighing sixty or seventy pounds roared across a distance of two or three hundred meters, and smashed down with the whistling wind and unrivaled kinetic energy.

Occasionally, a few lucky boulders happened to be smashed on the top of the city, and there were unlucky soldiers who were smashed squarely, and immediately the whole body was smashed into pieces, the scene was unbearable, and the boulder that did not hit the person was even more terrifying, and the bullets generally shot out in all directions after breaking into pieces of different sizes, and it was a bloody hole on the body, and the harm was even greater.

"Trebuchet, fight back, fight back!" Xiahoudun's eyes burst with fierce light, and he roared loudly to boost his morale.

Relying on the condescending advantage, although the workmanship of Cao Jun's trebuchet is not as sophisticated as that of the Han army, the launch distance is not much different, and the school team that has already had a ballistic trajectory is aiming at the Han army's catapult camp at this moment, and suddenly, fifty or sixty boulders roared and smashed over.

"Well, there it is!" Wang Xuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect the catapult to cause much damage to Xiangyang, according to the experience of later generations, if he wanted to rely on the catapult to win Xiangyang, he didn't think about it for a few years.

However, Cao Jun's catapult must be done, otherwise it will inevitably cause a lot of damage to his own side after starting to attack the city in a while.

The strength of the Han army was already at a disadvantage, and it was even more necessary to be careful in calculating.

"Let's get on and destroy the enemy trebuchets as much as you can." Wang Xuan turned his head to Guan Yu and the others and said, "Guan Ping, you can also go up, I don't need your protection here." ”

"Uncle Wang, this ......" Guan Ping hesitated, although no matter whether relatives in the army only talk about official positions, but that is definitely not applicable to the real boss, Wang Xuan is so maverick with the troops, Guan Yu and others should not hear it at all.

"I have said everything I see Uncle Wang, just call me Brother Wang." Wang Xuan glanced at Guan Ping, everyone looked about the same age, calling his uncle didn't call him old, speaking of which, Mi Zhen was about the same age as Guan Ping, Zhen Mi was two years younger than Guan Ping, if Guan Ping called him uncle, he always felt that he was too much of a beast.

The actual gap is only more than 100 years old, which is nothing in the long river of time.

But...... If you call your uncle or something when you are walking the road of heaven and earth...... emmmmmm, can't think, can't think, it's too evil.

However, cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind, and is this also a process of refining the mind...... ε=(′ο'*)))Alas, I'm too hard!

The corners of Guan Ping's mouth seemed to be cramping, and he shouted frantically in his heart: You are about the same age as my father, and you are even more brother to my father, if I call you Brother Wang in front of my father, do you guess if my father will beat me to death!

"Let's talk about it, you say yes, Yun Chang!" Wang Xuan stabbed Guan Yu.

"Yes, yes!" Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said.

The others turned their heads and laughed when they saw this.
