"Report ——! General, General Zhao's front army has passed through Ye County, and Cao Wei's defenders have not yet been seen. "Pegasus, the herald of Guan Yu's army, came to report the news.

The general Zhao in the mouth of the herald is Zhao Lei, who was defending Jiangling at the beginning, and now he has moved to Yamen General because of his merits.

Guan Yu squinted and said, "Have you ever found the enemy scout?" ”

"Not yet. It's just that...... As General Zhao saw along the way, Cao's army moved all the people of Ye County away. The fertile fields were burned down, and even the houses were burned, leaving only a piece of scorched earth and black ashes! ”

The reason why this soldier wanted to say "again" was because Cao Wei did the same thing in Yicheng that he had passed through before.

The so-called upward and downward effect, Boss Cao slaughtered the city and relocated at every turn, and the general Cao Ren was naturally not a good stubble.

At the beginning, Wancheng Hou Yin and others responded to Guan Yu and raised troops to make a rebellion, and after Cao Ren broke through Wancheng, in addition to killing the mastermind, he also wantonly slaughtered innocent people, so Guan Yu hated him to the core.

This time it's just a clear field, and the people are relocated, and it's just a pediatric on Cao Wei's side.

Of course, after the migration, how will the people survive the winter this year?

I'm sorry, that's not something that the high-ranking old men need to worry about, is it difficult to expect them to pay the people "demolition fees"?

If you live, you will live, and if you can't die, it's just a trivial thing.

"Humph! The thieves will clear the wilderness, and they don't want our army to get supplies, but they don't care about the lives of the people, which is really hateful! Guan Yu shook his long hair and said hatefully.

He came from a humble background, and since he was a child, he has been crawling at the bottom since he was a child, and he is often easy to empathize with the poor people.

At this time, as soon as he heard Cao Wei's actions, he immediately thought of the miserable days when he fled and slept in the open, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

Then Guan Yu squinted and thought for a moment, and then advised: "Order the front army to be cautious and slow, and send scouts to survey in advance before crossing the mountains and valleys, go." ”

"Yes!" The scout had won the general, drank water and rested for a while, and then whipped his horse again and went away.

Jingbei is mountainous and hilly, which is inconvenient for the army to pass.

In particular, Xiangyang is bordered by Dahong Mountain to the southeast and Jingshan Mountain Range to the southwest, and Cao Wei is likely to ambush a biao army and horse in the mountain valley to wait for work.

Guan Yu's army marched all the way north without slowing or hurrying, but did not encounter any resistance from Cao Wei.

This made him a little apprehensive in his heart, and once again ordered Zhao Lei to be cautious when walking through the mountains around Xiangyang.

However......

"General, General Zhao's front army has arrived at the foot of Xiangyang City, and no enemy troops have been found in the mountains!"

"Oh?" Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, "Hehe, the thief is well hidden, I'm afraid he wants to attack my army." Before the hits enter the mountain, put on armor and shields, place heavy vehicles on both sides of the team, and beware of enemy ambushes. ”

"Yes!"

Guan Yu was also helped by his own soldiers to put on the new armor specially sent by Liu Chan - Zhuge Tube Sleeve Armor.

All the armor that Liu Chan ordered to send was tailored according to the user's figure, and Guan Yu was wearing it on his body at this time, and even his neck and arms were protected inside.

"Hehe, I heard that this armor is designed by the military division, and Adou personally supervised the improvement of the armor-making process, and it is really extraordinary." He caressed the nail piece lovingly and smiled.

"The most rare thing is that it is light and abnormal, and it does not affect the activity at all. Don't look at this armor is bigger than before, but it is lighter, it is really amazing. ”

Wang Zuo, the former Marquis of Jiangling, who was also promoted on the side, was about to shed tears of envy from the corners of his mouth at this time.

It is not easy to make, the materials are exquisite, and now it is not possible to make it on a large scale, so he only has the share of greed.

In fact, he also got an old-style Xuan armor that he envied Shen Zhong at the beginning, but compared with Guan Yu's armor, "Xiao Tiantian" immediately became "Mrs. Niu......

also about the second master's big knife, I heard that it seems to be called, called...... The Blue Dragon Glaive?

It's domineering when it looks at it, and since it was sent, Guan Yu can't put it down after playing a few times, and throws the former horse lance aside.

"Tsk, when will we have a new armor?" Wang Zuo whispered.

Fu Wei next to him pushed him, and also said in a low voice: "If you can make meritorious service in this battle, you may also be able to give a reward." ”

Wang Zuo nodded: "Nanyang is famous for smelting copper and iron, if this battle is captured, the new armor we are waiting for may really have fallen......"

"Hey, how can it be so easy, let's take down Xiangyang and Fancheng in front of you first." Fu Wei shook his head and smiled.

The Chinese army was dressed in armor and began to advance slowly, and the valley in the south of Xiangyang was relatively wide, not the kind of Jedi that had a glimmer of heaven.

It was able to allow the Han army to advance in a defensive formation without having to form a long snake formation.

The mountains are also relatively low, even if there are really ambush soldiers, there is no need to worry about things like big stones rolling down, and it is impossible to seal the valley with rocks and divide the Jingzhou army.

And if the enemy rushes down the hillside on both sides, there is enough buffer time.

Summer is the rainy season in Jingxiang Land, and the fire attack is not very powerful.

Guan Ping's navy was much faster than Jingzhou's infantry army, and now it must have cut off the connection between Xiangfan, even if the enemy army had ambush soldiers, Guan Yu believed that with his current military strength, he would also have the strength to fight.

Therefore, he was not afraid, riding on a red rabbit horse, walking leisurely in the mountains, and his brows were not wrinkled.

Wang Zuo and Fu Wei also looked quite calm.

"Brother Fu is so daring." Wang Zuozan said.

He was because he had participated in the Battle of Jiangling, and he had the mentality he has now after nine deaths, but he didn't expect Fu Wei, who participated in the big battle for the first time, to be so calm.

Fu Wei grinned: "Haha, our army is close to Xiangyang, and the thieves only know how to move the people and burn down the fields, but they don't dare to confront us." I look at it like a chicken and a dog, what is there to be afraid of! ”

"Good!" Wang Zuo stroked his palms and said, "Brother Fu said it well, after this battle, I should drink with Brother Fu." ”

"It's a deal!"

The Jingzhou army cautiously passed through the mountains, who knew that most of the Chinese army had passed, and the rear army led by Liao Hua had entered it, and there were still no ambushes.

Guan Yu looked back in amazement, and there was still no movement in the mountains......

"Hehe, hahahaha......" he couldn't help but caress his hair and laughed.

Wang Zuo couldn't stop laughing when he saw the boss, and couldn't help asking, "General, why is General Guan laughing?" ”

"Huh. I laughed at that Cao Ren, and I had given up Xiangfan to me. Guan Yu didn't look at the valley behind him, there was no ambush at this time, it was really gone.

Wang Zuo scratched his head and glanced at Fu Wei next to him.

Fu Wei was also laughing, and Wang Zuo couldn't help but say, "What do you mean?" ”

"Hahaha." Fu Wei smiled heartily, "How could I know." ”

"I don't know if you're laughing!"

……

The Jingzhou army passed through the mountains around Xiangyang without any danger, and this good defensive terrain did not play its due role at all.

And Guan Ping's boat division has already blocked and occupied the water as planned.

The Jingzhou army successively lined up under Xiangyang City, and the continuous military formation brought huge psychological pressure to the defenders at the head of Xiangyang City.

As Cao Cao predicted before his death, if Guan Yu of Megatron Huaxia did not die, it would be a huge hidden danger, and as long as he stood there, he could greatly weaken the morale of his own army......

The city of Xiangyang is high, and although it is slightly inferior to the Jiangling that has been strengthened several times at this time, it is difficult to see the faces of the people standing above.

Guan Yu rode out alone, pointed at the head of the city with the knife in his hand and said loudly: "Who is the guard in the city, but Cao Ren's husband!" ”

Man Zhong was not annoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "General Wei Yangwu is full of favor here, and he has been waiting for the general for a long time!" ”

"Humph! Shameless usurpation, killing the emperor and claiming the emperor, and daring to be arrogant! ”

Man Zhong was still unfazed, and arched his hand to the north and said: "My Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei is the successor of the Great Unification from the hands of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. ”

Then he pointed like a sword, and pointed to Guan Yu below: "On the other hand, Liu Bei, the Duke of Shanyang is still alive, so he spread rumors, treated his funeral, and then proclaimed himself the emperor, and his heart can be punished!" Familiar as usurper? ”

"Hmph, Your Majesty inherited the Han Dynasty and rebuilt the world, how can it be that you have only a few words to be filthy!" Guan Yu stroked his long hair, "If you still have a little conscience, you will quickly open the city gate to prevent the corporal from dying in vain!" ”

Man Pet laughed: "Hahahaha, there are only Wei generals who died in battle, how can there be Wei Chen who surrendered?!" ”

"Yu Ban!!" Fu Wei shouted loudly in the back, which was particularly abrupt.

Full of favors: "......"

Guan Yu: "......"

Both of them were a little embarrassed, and suddenly lost the interest in shouting.

"Ahem! Siege the city! Guan Yu turned around and retreated into the army, and simply ordered to prepare for the siege.

On the side of Manzhong, he is already ready to defend the city, even if he dies, he will turn Xiangyang into the cemetery of the Jingzhou army!

The people who moved back from outside had already been forcibly recruited by him to carry stones and trees, and if they dared to disobey, they would be whipped and served.

A limited number of soldiers need to be recharged and ready for battle, and they can't afford to waste their physical strength on this.

In Guan Yu's army, he has already begun to assemble the Lei Gong Cannon on the position.

There is also no shortage of wood in Jingzhou, with Zhuge Liang's incomparably accurate data drawings, craftsmen specially sent to explain, and the "modular" production concept promoted by Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hao Pu racked his brains to allocate resources.

This time, the Jingzhou Army made a total of 30 Lei Gong cannons! These are qualified products that have been tested in advance.

At the same time, there are many redundant qualified parts, even if a part is damaged, it can be quickly replaced and reactivated.

And just when the Jingzhou army was assembling the Lei Gong cannon, suddenly a thunderbolt-like sound sounded in Xiangyang City, and countless stones flew out of the city first!
