Xiangyang and Nanyang County border, and Nanyang County was under Liu Bei's control, so Liu Bei went south, all the way unimpeded, and easily entered the territory of Xiangyang. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ .

On March 25, 25,000 troops under Liu Bei's command came to the city.

This time, Liu Bei did not send people to surrender, and did not even have extra words, and directly ordered the siege of the city. The 25,000-strong army, under the command of Liu Xiu, attacked in an orderly manner.

In fact, Liu Bei and Sun Quan originally agreed on the first day of the fifth month, but in the end they chose to act in advance.

The longer the delay became, the more worried Liu Bei became.

Liu Bei attacked the city, and Liu Xiu's garrison on the city tower was steadily defended.

5,000 barbarian soldiers, as well as 3,000 'elite' soldiers sent by Wenpin, plus more than 5,000 soldiers in Xiangyang City itself. In the city of Xiangyang, there are more than 13,000 soldiers.

Not only that, the catapults, rhubarb crossbows, bows and arrows and other equipment in Xiangyang City are all complete.

Food, too, is sufficient.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bei attacked Xiangyang City for three consecutive days, but failed to move forward. The most important thing is that Xiangyang City is surrounded by moats, which makes it difficult for Liu Bei to cross.

For a time, Liu Bei's more than 20,000 soldiers froze outside the city, unable to move forward.

After the battle, Liu Xiu rested on the city tower.

Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying and others commanded the 'attendants', carried a large cauldron to the city tower, and then distributed 'meat' cakes to all the soldiers. Not only Huang Chengyan, but even Pang Degong and the people of the Pang family also took action and shuttled around the city tower.

This time to resist Liu Bei's army, the people of the Huang family and the Pang family moved into the city to avoid being affected in Lu'men Mountain.

After everything was done, Huang Yueying came to Liu Xiu's side.

Huang Yueying took a bowl of 'meat' soup and three 'meat' cakes in her hand, she looked worried, and said, "Husband has worked hard all day, eat something to cushion." There is still a period of time before the room is opened. ”

After Liu Xiu took it, he ate it in three or two bites, and then drank the 'meat' soup, and let Huang Yueying go back to his house to rest.

Then, Liu Xiu inspected the city tower again.

After a day of fighting, although Liu Bei's offensive was repulsed, many of the soldiers under Liu Xiu's command were injured and needed Liu Xiu to appease and encourage the soldiers.

The morale inside the city is still high, but Liu Bei outside the city can't wait.

In the big tent in the army, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Feibin sat down.

This time they went south to fight, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in the battle, and Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhi stayed in Xinye, presiding over the overall situation and avoiding problems in the rear.

Liu Bei's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Second brother, third brother, we have attacked for three days, and in these three days, we have lost nearly a thousand soldiers, but we have not advanced a single step. The city of Xiangyang City is strong, and if you don't take Xiangyang City quickly, it will affect the entire battle situation. When the time comes, it will be us who will suffer. ”

As for how to attack the city, Liu Bei also had a tangled expression, he sighed lightly, and continued: "The military advisor provoked Fu Xun and Liu Xian, and asked the two of them to prepare to capture Liu Xiu, but both of them were killed, so that they could not create internal 'chaos' for Liu Xiu. Now we are attacking the city from the outside, and the city of Xiangyang City is strong, and if we want to take it head-on, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in ten days and half a month. ”

When Zhang Fei heard about ten days and half a month, he immediately became anxious, and shouted: "Not to mention what the situation will be after ten days and half a month, the consumption of these ten days and half a month, as well as the number of dead and wounded soldiers, are already very terrifying. After three days of siege, a thousand soldiers have been killed and wounded. In the long run, we will be the first ones who will not be able to hold on. Big brother, you can't delay time. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately fell silent.

Suddenly, Guan Yu said: "Big brother, I remember that the Lu'men Mountain is outside the city. Not only does Pang Degong live in Lu'men Mountain, but even Liu Xiu's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan, is also in Lu'men Mountain, right?"

Liu Beijian raised his eyebrows and said, "No, you can't do this." ”

At this time, Liu Bei understood Guan Yu's intentions, obviously preparing to catch these people and then blackmail Liu Xiu.

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Big brother, we won't hurt Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan a single 'hair'." It's just that now he can't attack it for a long time, so he can only use them to let Liu Xiu open the 'gate' of the city. As long as Liu Xiu opened the 'gate' of the city, he would naturally let them go. After all, they are celebrities in Jingzhou and cannot be taken lightly. But in a hurry, I had to do this. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Once you do this, you will lose people's hearts." ”

The soft expression on Guan Yu's face disappeared, revealing a touch of 'yin', those Danfeng eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, if we can't even conquer Xiangyang, how can there be any human heart? Big brother, have you forgotten how Liu Xiu humiliated us? Have you forgotten the 100,000 stone grain? Have you forgotten Zhao Yun's matter?"

After Liu Bei heard this, his face was also 'revealed' with a trace of hideousness.

A moment later, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to lead a team of cavalry to Lu'men Mountain.

In the middle of the night, Guan Yu dragged his tired body and returned to the barracks with the soldiers.

Guan Yu had a disappointed expression on his face and said, "Big brother, the Deer 'Gate' Mountain is empty, and there is only one person left guarding the courtyard. Both the Pang family and the Huang family are like this, and no one is left. According to the little guy who guards the 'door' of the Huang family. Liu Xiu not only moved all the people of the Pang family and the Huang family into Xiangyang City, but even Xu Shu's mother also brought them to live in the city. It is impossible to threaten Liu Xiu's people. ”

"Shhh

Liu Bei gasped, and his face was solemn.

At this time, Liu Bei felt that it was tricky, and even such a despicable trick would not work, Liu Xiu was too thoughtful.

Everything seemed to be expected by Liu Xiu.

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Big brother, there is another situation, I think it is very suspicious. ”

"What's the situation?" Liu Bei asked.

Guan Yu's eyes were sharp, and he replied: "According to Liu Xiu's deployment, Liu Xiu arranged the first army to garrison in Jiangling County. Now that Xiangyang City is under siege, Wen Ping, who is stationed in Jiangling County, has not moved at all, as if he is watching Liu Xiu being besieged. What is the intention?"

Liu Bei asked, "Why?"

Guan Yu replied: "I think Wen Ping is waiting for the opportunity. Once the soldiers under the command of the eldest brother are tired, Wen Ping may suddenly attack, giving the eldest brother a fatal blow in one fell swoop. ”

Zhang Fei's expression was serious, and there was also a worried expression on his rough face, and he said, "Second brother is reasonable, the situation is very delicate, we must consider another way to break the city." ”

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and asked, "Second brother Ji will be released?"

Guan Yu replied: "I suggest that a part of the soldiers be assigned to attack Zhonglu County, Yicheng County, Bian County and other places south of Xiangyang. As long as these cities are taken, Xiangyang will become an isolated city. ”

After Liu Bei heard this, he said solemnly: "The second brother's analysis is reasonable, this time, Liu Xiu must be brewing a 'yin' scheme." It's just that this time's 'yin' conspiracy is too weird to understand at all. ”

Guan Yu said: "No matter so much, first follow the established idea and go south to conquer the city." ”

Liu Bei nodded and agreed, and began to give orders.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei left 15,000 'elite' troops behind and divided 10,000 troops to go south to Zhonglu County. Zhonglu County is not a large county, and to a large extent, Zhonglu County relies on the care of Xiangyang County, with weak troops and low walls. So much so that after Liu Bei's 10,000 'elite' elites arrived in Zhonglu County, they easily captured Zhonglu County with only a few hundred soldiers.

Liu Bei's army conquered Zhonglu County, and then quickly moved south to Yicheng County to kill.

Yicheng County has thousands of 'elite' elites, in addition, the Yicheng Ma family has done their best, and all the strength of the family has been sent to the city tower to resist. Under the leadership of the Yicheng Ma family, other clans in Yicheng County also sent their own 'private' soldiers to resist.

A small Yicheng has enough tens of thousands of soldiers.

After a day of onslaught, Liu Bei's army did not get any benefit and could only camp outside the city.

The news of Zhonglu County and Yicheng County quickly reached Liu Xiu's ears.

Liu Xiu's face was serious, he looked at Yi and Kuailiang, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jibo, Mr. Zirou, now Liu Bei's siege force has been greatly weakened. According to the news from the front, Liu Bei's current strength is only about 15,000, and even less than 15,000. In such a situation, I think I can attack Liu Bei. Don't seek to defeat Liu Bei, at least let Liu Bei get into trouble. ”

"Yes! I agree with the Lord's decision. ”

Kuai Liang's eyes showed a confident look, and he said loudly: "Dividing troops in battle is a taboo on the march. Now Liu Bei has sent a part of his soldiers south, wanting to capture several other cities as a foundation. But he forgot that the lord's army was so strong that he could not only defend to the death, but also go to war. ”

Yi also said: "I also agree with the war!" Shamoke has not made an inch of success under Liu Xiu's command, and now he has taken the initiative to attack, which means that his opportunity has come.

Shamoko didn't think about it, and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, Shamoke is willing to be a pioneer." ”

The 5,000 barbarians under his command remained in the city to defend it. This is a way that Samoko doesn't like. The only way to go out of the city and fight is what Wuxi Erlang should do.

Huang Hu was also not to be left behind, and said loudly: "My lord, the Thousand Flying Tiger Battalion under the command of the humble post has been formed for a while. During this time, he has not been on the battlefield. This time, it's time for the Flying Tiger Battalion to prove its strength. ”

The two tiger generals are gearing up and taking the initiative to fight.
