Chapter 138: It's All in the Calculation (Ask for Subscription)

After learning of the changes in Jingzhou.

Although Cao Cao was not ready to attack with all his might, he also wanted to test it, such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity if he missed it, what if it really succeeded?

There is no absolute certainty in everything.

But as Liu Qi's power became stronger and stronger, Cao Cao was also extremely jealous, of course he didn't want to watch Liu Qi seize Yizhou again, and then it would really be two parts of the world.

In the case of almost unifying the north, he can't figure out that there is only one Liu Qi from Jingzhou. When the south was unified, Cao Cao doubted whether he could outmaneuver Liu Qi.

All in all, this opportunity is worth trying.

And so.

Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao, led 10,000 elites, to cross the Jingzhou military defense line along the small road and came to the bank of the river.

Their purpose is Xiangyang, and the rest is not important.

As long as he can take Xiangyang, Cao Cao can drive straight into Jingzhou and sweep through the land of Jingzhou. And Liu Qi's soldiers and horses will not be able to come back for a while and a half, which is called unpreparedness.

Zhang Liao was a brave general under Cao Cao.

As one of the Riliang generals, although he has not yet had the merits sent by Sun 100,000, he has already emerged in Wuhuan White Wolf Mountain, and after Xiahou Yuan died in battle, he was paid more attention to by Cao Cao.

Because Zhang Liao and Xiahou Yuan are the same type of generals.

They are all good at rapid marches.

Zhang Liao came all the way, did not find anything abnormal, and when he arrived at the riverbank, he crossed the river back and forth in a small boat.

After the army crossed the river, Zhang Liao did not rush to attack Xiangyang, but sent people to inquire about the situation first. He is not a reckless man, although he is reckless when he charges.

In the end, the news he got was the same as Cao Cao said.

As Liu Qi led his troops westward, Xiangyang's defense became extremely empty, and there were no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left.

For the tens of thousands of elites led by themselves.

Zhang Liao has absolute self-confidence, and in the face of the same number of enemy troops, he will definitely not fall into disadvantage.

After it is determined.

He also sent someone to contact Meng Da, preparing to attack Xiangyang at night, and he needed Meng Da's cooperation at that time.

Now there is no martial law in Xiangyang, and the people can enter the city.

Got news from Zhang Liao.

Meng Da's face was happy, he was in Xiangyang City these days, and he had not heard the news of the transfer of troops at all.

This means that there are no reinforcements in Xiangyang.

When Cao's army came to kill in one fell swoop, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses would be unable to guard against it, and the entire Xiangyang would also be in a desperate situation.

When the time comes, with the merit of Xiangyang.

Under Cao Cao, he must rise to the top.

But Meng Da didn't expect it.

When the people sent by Zhang Liao contacted him, there was a figure hiding in the hidden corner.

Knowing that Meng Da is plotting against him.

How could Zhuge Liang not care, he had already sent someone to keep an eye on Meng Da, and now he finally had a harvest.

Zhuge Liang, who learned of this, immediately found Xue Li.

It's well arranged again.

It's day and night.

Zhang Liao led his troops to sneak.

Although he is not the most elite cavalry, these soldiers are also experienced in battle.

As long as you reach the outside of Xiangyang City, you can break the enemy in one fell swoop.

The distance is getting closer.

Zhang Liao had already seen the outline of Xiangyang City.

His gaze swept over and he muttered to himself in a low voice:

"I'll be in Xiangyang City soon."

At this moment, there are still bright lights on the city tower, but the defenders are sparse, indicating that the defense in the city is empty.

It's a good opportunity to attack.

They have all come here, and Zhang Liao is not allowed to retreat.

He decisively gave the order to siege the city:

"All the soldiers obey the order, and the whole army will attack!"

The soldiers of the Cao army, who got the order, killed them all in one go. This battle was a surprise attack, there was no need to arrange troops, as long as you entered the city as soon as possible, the plan was successful.

However, Zhang Liao never found out.

In the seclusion behind them.

There are soldiers and horses hiding all the way, and they are the cavalry.

Xue Li commanded the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

The rest are all soldiers who stayed in Xiangyang.

In fact, Zhang Liao's news is correct.

The defenders of Xiangyang City were only more than 10,000 people.

At this moment, there are only more than 1,000 people who are really defending the city, and the rest are already ready to go.

"The military advisor is really clever, Cao Jun really dared to attack Xiangyang, maybe he didn't take me seriously!"

The corners of Xue Li's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Since you want to raid Xiangyang, you must be prepared for the annihilation of the whole army, and it is not a good thing to go deep alone.

Seeing that Cao Jun had already killed outside the city wall.

Xue Li knew that the time was almost up.

He raised Fang Tian's painting halberd, raised his arms and shouted:

"All the soldiers listen to the order, and follow the generals to break the enemy!"

After shouting, Xue Li took the lead and went out.

The Iron Rider of the Armor followed closely.

Such a formation is frightening!

in the city.

I heard shouts of killing outside.

Meng Da, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately began to act.

With his men, he wanted to set fire to the city.

There were not many of them, and the best way to interfere with the defenders' defense was to do something in the city.

But they didn't wait for them to do it.

Someone surrounded him and directly took down Meng Da.

Meng Da, who was pressed to the ground, gritted his teeth:

"No, it can't be!"

But no one paid attention to them, and these people secretly consulted with the thieves, and it was impossible for them to have good fruit to eat.

On the tower of the city, Zhuge Liang looked at the enemy army outside the city.

The heart seems extraordinarily calm.

He had a sense of emptiness.

As for Meng Da, he didn't worry about it at all, everything was arranged, and he just waited for Meng Da to fall into the net.

As for the enemy forces outside the city.

Look menacing, but how do they know?

has long fallen into the trap.

The fire in the rear lit up, and it was Xue Li who led the army to rush to kill.

This made Zhuge Liang look forward to it.

This battle was a windfall, and I don't know how much I could gain.

He looked faintly at the battlefield.

Zhang Liao led the army to attack the city.

He couldn't help but wonder a little, the counterattack on the city wall was too weak.

In any case, there are still 10,000 soldiers in the city, and even if they are suddenly attacked, they can't be scattered like this, right?

But the soldiers had already rushed forward, and the battle had begun.

Zhang Liao didn't hesitate.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind me.

He looked back in astonishment.

At some point, the dense enemy army has been killed.

There is no mercy at all.

Countless thoughts surged in Zhang Liao's mind.

He shouted eagerly:

"It's not good, there is an ambush, the whole army retreats!"

Ignoring the siege, Zhang Liao immediately led his troops to retreat, even if he was ambushed, he couldn't all stay here.

However, it was already too late.

Even if Zhang Liao wants to leave, I'm afraid he can't go.

Xue Li has already brought someone to kill him.

Zhang Liao, who noticed that something was wrong, led people to rush left and right, but what he faced was the Jingzhou army that had been prepared for a long time.

"Kill it!"

Holding a spear, Zhang Liao fought bravely and shouted loudly.

But the situation changed suddenly.

caught the soldiers off guard, they couldn't be like Zhang Liao, who quickly fell into a decline and was difficult to kill.

Xue Li used Fang Tian's painting halberd and was invincible.

After killing more than ten people, he rode out at a gallop and went straight to the brave Zhang Liao.
