In the city of Xiangyang.

Liu Qi and the others are undoubtedly extremely concerned about the battle situation.

After all, they are not bystanders.

Once Cao Cao breaks through the defense line and kills outside Xiangyang, he will definitely fall behind in a land battle with Jingzhou soldiers.

The best way to deal with this stalemate is now.

It was not so easy to defeat Cao Cao head-on.

That's when it happened.

There is an urgent report coming to Xiangyang City.

Liu Qi opened the battle report, and his expression suddenly changed.

said to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong:

"Two military divisions, this is an urgent report from Fancheng, the Cao army raided Fancheng at night, and there are probably 20,000 soldiers and horses."

Pang Tong was stunned and asked anxiously:

"And what's going on now?"

Looking at Pang Tong, Liu Qi said with a smile:

"Shiyuan doesn't have to worry, it just so happened that Rengui crossed the river and met this Cao army, and when they attacked the city, they were raiding in the rear, and now the Cao army has retreated."

Zhuge Liang said with emotion:

"Rengui is really brave!"

understood the whole story, but Pang Tong did not take it lightly, but said quite solemnly:

"Lord, Cao Jun's attack on Fancheng this time, I'm afraid the purpose is not so simple. Their real target should be Xiangyang City. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he said with some surprise:

"Xiangyang, even if 20,000 Cao troops kill Xiangyang City, they shouldn't be able to break through the city, right?"

Pang Tong nodded, and said at the same time:

"He should have guessed Cao Cao's plan, he probably wanted people to attack Fancheng at night and then cross the river, and then camp outside Xiangyang City, and then lead the follow-up main force to come.

Because my Jingzhou soldiers' ability to attack fortifications is not good, I am afraid that I can only sit back and watch Cao's army grow at that time. When the time comes, the army will sweep under Xiangyang, and it will be difficult to hold the city.

This must have been a plan that Cao Cao came up with temporarily after knowing about the transfer of the Xiangyang naval army. Fortunately, General Xue is brave and unparalleled, otherwise Xiangyang is in danger now. ”

Liu Qi suddenly said with a solemn expression:

"Cao Cao is really powerful, we didn't even pay attention to it, but now that we know Cao Jun's plan, we can't sit idly by, we must send people to patrol the river, just in case."

Pang Tong agreed:

"What the lord said is very true."

Immediately after, Liu Qi asked:

"In today's situation, can the two military advisors have a strategy to break the enemy?"

Zhuge Liang said thoughtfully:

"Now that the main force of the Cao army is in Xinye, even if the Xiangyang Navy goes to support, it can only let Xinye hold on. If you want to open up the situation from now on, I'm afraid it's not so simple.

Liang feels that today's breakthrough is in Jingbei Yingzhai.

As long as Huang Zhong can defeat Cao's army, he can attack Xinye, Jingbei Yingzhai, and Xiangyang Navy in a three-way attack. ”

At the same time, Pang Tong also said:

"But now that the lord's troops are limited, if he sends troops to support, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with an accident in the event of an accident.

The plan that has been discussed in advance can also be prepared. ”

Liu Qi's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly:

"Shiyuan, what you said is the Jiangxia Water Army."

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Pang Tong replied calmly:

"The previous battle with the Jiangdong Navy has proved the strength of the Jiangxia Navy Army, and now in the territory of Dahan, the Jiangxia Navy can be called the strongest, and it can be achieved along Shouchun and other places."

Liu Qi also knew about Pang Tong's plan, and slowly replied:

"Okay, this son will give Gan Xingba an order, the Jiangxia Navy has been silent for so long, it's time to reappear at the edge."

Xu Huang fled in embarrassment.

Although the distance was quite long, and he also wore armor.

But Xue Li's strong bow is no joke.

It's still the arrows that go deep into the flesh.

But Xu Huang still didn't dare to delay, he just broke the arrow shaft, and rushed back to Cao Ying without stopping.

At this moment, Cao Cao is undoubtedly waiting for Xu Huang's good news.

As long as they can hold the position of Xiangyang City, they can directly abandon Xinye, and then capture the thief and capture the king first.

When Liu Qi's son is taken prisoner, can Liu Bei and the others still be able to defend it?

Naturally, there is no chance

。

However, Cao Cao did not wait for good news, but heard that Xu Huang's defeated army had fled.

He immediately rushed out.

It was Cao Jun who saw the embarrassment, and the depressed Xu Huang.

Take a closer look.

The arrow behind Xu Huang has not been taken, and it is already embedded in the flesh and bones.

He was amazed and said:

"Gongming, what's wrong with you, quickly ask a military doctor."

Xu Huang endured the pain and replied:

"The last general is incompetent, and please punish the prime minister."

No doubt.

He thought that the plan was seamless, but he sent the most reliable warrior under his command, but he still returned in vain, and was even seriously injured.

Then there is only one possibility.

The people of Jingzhou are probably already prepared.

"Damn Zhuge Kongming!"

Cao Cao was angry and cursed directly.

At the same time, he said to Xu Huang:

"Komeito, don't worry, I'll take care of the wound first."

In today's era, because there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, once the wound is infected, it is a matter of life.

And Xu Huang was wounded by arrows, but he still came all the way.

It must be very dangerous.

Although Xu Huang failed this time, Cao Cao believed in his ability, and a famous general was more important than 10,000 soldiers. qs

If something happens to Xu Huang, that is the biggest loss.

Seeing Cao Cao's concerned gaze, Xu Huang was even more guilty, all because of his ineffective work, which made it difficult to make the plan come true.

But at this moment, he could only hold all the words back in his stomach.

Soon.

The military doctor finally arrived and helped Xu Huang treat his wounds, but there were no problems.

Looking at Xu Huang, who was bandaged securely, Cao Cao sighed:

"Gongming, I don't blame you for this, I underestimated this Wolong Zhuge Liang, a decadent Jingzhou, in just a few months under its governance, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Now that our army is attacking, since he has transferred the naval army, how can he be defenseless, it is someone who has harmed you! ”

Xu Huang said continuously:

"Prime Minister's grace, although the last general dies, there is no way to repay it!"

Cao Cao stopped him, waved his hand and said:

"There is no need to say that, Gongming, you take good care of your injuries, even if you can't go straight to Xiangyang, you can take Jingzhou."

Although Xu Huang was defeated and returned.

But the soldiers were not injured much, that is, two or three thousand.

However, the news learned from Xu Huang's mouth made Cao Cao a little unexpected. They did encounter an ambush, but the number of ambushes was not large, only a hundred.

But this ambush army turned out to be an elite cavalry.

By no means inferior to the tiger and leopard ride.

What kind of troops are the Haw Par Riders?

This is the most elite cavalry under Cao Cao.

Now there are only 2,000 people.

In a place like Jingzhou, it is possible to train cavalry?

Not inferior to the tiger and leopard riding.

It simply subverted Cao Cao's cognition.

But learning this news made Cao Cao take precautions, which is not a bad thing.

In addition, it is the crossbow that Xu Huang said.

Can you do without a crossbow bolt with a winding combo?

Cao Cao's expression became more and more solemn, which was very different from the news he knew.

His eyes were like torches, and he whispered to himself:

"It seems that the people of Jingzhou are really full of talents!"
