"General!"

"Protect General Guan!"

Guan Yuyi is bold, and he has seen the strength of this new armor in actual combat, so he is naturally not flustered.

But how could his men stand this stimulus, and immediately rushed up, the soldiers raised their shields to protect Guan Yu's rear, and Zhao Lei and Fu Wei hurriedly stepped forward to check Guan Yu's injuries.

They were afraid that Guan Yu was just pretending to be relaxed, after all, in order not to affect the morale of the army, it was actually common for the main general to conceal his injuries.

"General Guan, are you injured?"

Seeing the nervous whispering of the two, Guan Yu smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, the strength of this armor is far beyond our imagination." Adou, Adou...... What a good name, hahaha! Let's go, collect the troops and return to the camp! ”

Guan Yu smiled very happily, but Fu Wei was stunned when he heard it.

He glanced at Zhao Lei: "What does this mean?" ”

Finally, Zhao Lei raised his head slightly and said with a triumphant smile: "Hmph, I don't know." ”

"Humph!" Fu Wei snorted coldly and tilted his head to the side, as if he didn't have much interest.

It's just that a pair of big eyes like a cow glanced at Zhao Lei from time to time, and after a while, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Zhao, if you know, tell your brother about it?" ”

Seeing that Fu Wei shouted something good, Zhao Lei no longer sold Guanzi, the two horses approached, and said in a low voice: "It is said that the main mother, Mrs. Gan, tasted the night dream and swallowed Beidou, and then became pregnant, so the prince's name is called Adou."

"When the prince was born, there was a white dragon hovering over the eaves of the main mother at night, and the dragon groaned several times. When the crown prince was born, the room was full of strange fragrance......"

Zhao Lei said what he heard from Shen Zhong again, and he thought he was the midwife at the beginning......

Fu Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

After Guan Yu collected his troops and returned to the camp, he still left manpower to observe and pay attention to the movements of the defenders of Xiangyang.

Especially after nightfall, people are sent to rotate on duty to observe whether there is a torch signal at the head of the city, and strictly order not to slack off.

This is not a seamless plan, whether it is Yuan Zhong, full favor, or follow-up, any unexpected change in any link may lead to the failure of the plan.

For example, Yuan Zhong led the cavalry out of the city, which was actually an unexpected event.

If he didn't run away and fought to the death outside the city, then Guan Yu could only kill him, and the whole plan would be stillborn.

But there is no seamless plan in this world, and if this plan is successful, it will be able to easily take Xiangyang, which has a solid city defense.

Even if it fails, it will not be too late for the Jingzhou army to attack again, and this super high cost performance is the benefit of the room, and it is also the reason why Liu Chan does not hesitate to provide a lot of money for the activities of the shadow guard.

Man Zhong thought that the plan of the Jingzhou army had completely failed so far, but unfortunately, the plan had not ended.

The whole process of his killing of Yuan Zhong was seen by the defenders of Ximen and was cold in his heart.

And all this was also seen by another inconspicuous little person - Niu Dazhuang, who had been silently carrying wooden and stone stones to the city.

……

Three days passed.

Since then, the Jingzhou army has not launched a siege battle, but the atmosphere in Xiangyang City has become increasingly strange.

After beheading Yuan Zhong, Man's favor is gradually becoming suspicious and very sensitive to the people and things around him.

Although it has not reached the level of not distinguishing right from wrong and punishing indiscriminately, sometimes a sentence has to be interrogated by the surrounding generals for a long time, which also makes other people's nerves tense every day, for fear that if they say the wrong word, their heads will be lost.

This is definitely possible for the full pet, who has a reputation for being "harsh".

His reputation is not unjust, in the early years, when acting as the Gaoping County Commander, he tortured a prisoner to death, and although he rose all the way up, similar things are still common.

And the most observed and interrogated in these three days are the defenders of the various city gates.

Especially the West City Gate.

The east and north gates of Xiangyang are bordered by water, and the south gate is surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult to line up a large number of military formations.

Therefore, when attacking Xiangyang, the West Gate is often used as the main direction of attack.

The head of the city gate of Xicheng, if he has the opportunity to talk to Man Pet every day on weekdays, he probably can wake up with a smile in his dreams.

After all, even if you are familiar with your face in front of high-ranking officials, you can have a little more hope when there is a promotion vacancy.

If you are lucky enough to be appreciated, it will soar to the sky.

It's just that in the past three days, the full pet who came to him every day to "chat" made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

If possible, even if he is a doorkeeper for the rest of his life, he doesn't want the Manchu envoy to come again...... It's so tiring.

"Alas...... When is this kind of day the end? Sighing, he looked at the dry bread and gruel in front of him, and lost his appetite.

Damn, let's do it today.

"Cui Niang, take the wine I hidden, I don't know how long I can live, let's have a drink."

As soon as Cao Pi announced the attack on Wu, Xiangyang's full favor had already strictly banned alcohol.

As soon as the Wei army moved, Guan Yu would definitely go on a northern expedition, and he saw this very clearly, and made a lot of preparations for this.

The prohibition of alcohol is for the sake of the army's strict training and combat effectiveness, and also to save precious food resources...... After all, it is certain that Xiangyang will be besieged, and the only thing that is uncertain is how long it will be besieged.

The small half urn that was hidden in this city gate was the only one he had survived.

It's just that...... But no one agreed.

"Cui Niang?" The chief of the city gate called again in confusion.

He can't afford to live in a big house, but it's a small house with only three rooms, and his mother-in-law is preparing dried vegetables next to him, so it's impossible not to hear it.

Cursing, the puzzled city gate chief habitually picked up the saber and hung it back on his waist, and got up to see what the mother-in-law was doing.

Although he had a saber, it was only muscle memory, and he was not vigilant.

Being in Xiangyang City, in his own home, he didn't think there would be any danger at all.

However, when he opened the curtain in the kitchen, he found his mother-in-law sitting next to the stove with her eyes closed, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.

"Cui Niang?!" He walked forward quickly, and was about to check on his wife, when he suddenly heard a muffled male voice behind him.

"She's fine, she's just fainted."

This sudden voice came from behind him, almost causing the gatekeeper to jump to his feet.

When I turned around, I saw a man standing next to the door curtain, and when I entered the door, it was a blind spot, so I didn't notice it.

And this man is clearly the servant of the levy and the defense of the army, and he was whipped by himself at the West City Gate a few days ago......

His hairs stood on end, and he raised his hand to draw his sword!

"It's so bold, you want to make ......," he shook his right hand toward his waist, but it was empty.

"Huh? Where's my knife?!"

He remembered that he had brought a knife with him.

The man who was leaning against the wall on the opposite side took out an unsheathed ring-headed single knife from behind him at this time, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, but you want to find this thing?" ”

His expression was calm at this time, his eyes were flexible, where was he still the timid and timid, silent farmer?

"Looking for death, you bring it to me!" The city gate chief did not realize the seriousness of the matter for a while, and actually pounced on Niu Dazhuang, trying to snatch his knife back.

Niu Dazhuang's image is easy to give people the first impression of "stupid and stupid", even his name.

At the beginning, in the three eastern counties, the brother who delivered the letter for the Shen family thought so, and now the head of the city gate of Xiangyang is also the same.

It's a pity that Niu Da is strong, but it is not worthy of the name.

And the consequences of such miscalculations are often fatal.

Niu Dazhuang's wrist flipped dexterously, and the unsheathed single knife drew a circle, hitting the opponent's forearm.

Then, before the chief of the city gate could see what was going on, he heard a loud thud, and the blade was already on his neck, as if he had deliberately put it up himself.

"You! You are the Shu army! The chief of the city gate didn't know what was going on at this time, and his eyes widened in horror.

"Phew, who the is the Shu army!" The man was furious.

The chief of the city gate looked confused, isn't it meticulous? Is that?

"We're from the Han Army! Han orthodoxy! ”

Gatekeeper: "......"

"Isn't this still the same?! I can't live until I ......."

"If you want to kill, you will kill." He closed his eyes in awe...... It's a pity that his trembling legs betrayed him.

"I didn't want to kill you." Niu Dazhuang smiled slightly, "Your mother-in-law is also alive and well, contrary to what you think, I am here to save you." ”
