Breaking through the first line of defense of the Xiangyang soldiers took less than an hour.

This tragic scene was also quickly reported to Zhang Da, who was standing at the head of the city, through the fast horse.

"What?! Just, just broke through the first line of defense? ”

Zhang Da couldn't believe it, angry and annoyed.

Suddenly, he slapped the battlements, and the regret in his heart came back layer by layer.

Alas, it's still messed up in a hurry. The soldiers from Chang'an must be good at field warfare, and their own situation is unknown, so they rashly stationed troops outside the city, in a vain attempt to rely on layers of interception tactics to consume the enemy's troops, so as to hold Xiangyang steadily. To defend Xiangyang, there is nothing more than a strong wall and a clear field, and with the strength of the Xiangyang Navy, it will have no chance to take advantage of it.

It's a pity, it's a pity, those tens of thousands of Xiangyang soldiers, I'm afraid there are not a few people left!

Zhang Da leaned on the edge of the battlements gloomily, his face was terrifyingly pale.

After a long time, he finally picked himself up.

"Spread it, quickly withdraw the remaining brothers outside the city to the city, inform General Wu, and always pay attention to the movements on the river. In addition, the whole city searched for suspicious people, especially those who had anything to do with the beggar gang. Send another 500 elite soldiers to guard the palace day and night. ”

Finally, he figured things out.

Xiangyang, even more nervous.

After receiving Zhang Da's order, Wu Yingying reacted quickly and immediately ordered all warships to enter a state of emergency readiness. At the same time, considering that if the British king's army went down the river and carried the power of the water, it was afraid that it would not be so easy to block, so he connected all the warships with iron locks and tied them to the bank of the river to prevent them from being washed away by the British king's naval warships.

But even so, he was still not at ease, and ordered General Qi to lead his troops to line up in front of the shore as a barrier in front of the gate of Xiangyang City, which could also be used to respond.

In the city, teams of sergeants searched houses with swords and guns. The people of Xiangyang somehow, for a while, there was a lot of trouble, and the people complained. But this unexpected move also had an effect, and some of the low-level disciples of Xiangyang Rudder couldn't dodge, and they were still arrested more than a dozen times.

However, these disciples did not know Zheng Baye's whereabouts, nor did they know their plans. Besides, they are all steel men who can endure the fight, and no one is willing to bow their heads no matter how the officers and soldiers torture them.

Besides, outside the city, Xu Lang's three armies launched together, and before sunset, the two lines of defense outside the city were broken down one by one.

Looking at the tall and fastened Xiangyang city wall under the slanting sun, Xu Lang raised the lance, provoked the head of an enemy general, and carried his internal strength with a long roar. This sound not only has the meaning of showing off its might, but also relies on its deep internal force to shake the eardrums of the Xiangyang defenders on the head of the city.

"What a thief!"

"What a loud voice!"

"Fart, people are such a strong internal force!"

……

I have to say that the deterrent effect of this sound is really obvious, which makes several Xiangyang defenders whisper in shock.

"Phew! If anyone dares to speak again, they will all be stabbed! ”

At this time, it was a military official, with a black face, and swept towards several people.

The men quickly lowered their heads in fear, too frightened to say anything more.

But how can the turmoil in this people's heart be suppressed by the intimidation of the military righteousness?

In less than half a day, of the 50,000 troops outside the city, only more than 10,000 fled back to the city. Of the remaining nearly 40,000 people, the number of those killed in the war is unknown. The war horses neighing in the wind, the battle flags trampled to the ground, and the corpses being picked up one by one, have made fear spread like a plague throughout Xiangyang City.

In a short time, countless arrows with a letter of confession to the people flew from a distance, flew up to the top of the city, and landed in the city.
