Hearing her father's words, Huang Yueying snorted coldly.

"Hmph, don't think that Yueying is just a woman, so she doesn't understand military affairs. Xiangyang is the third largest fortified city in my Han Dynasty after Luoyang and Chang'an, and Liu Bei only has 150,000 troops, even if it doubles, what can it do? Aside from the strength of Xiangyang itself, there are also 50,000 soldiers and horses from Huo Taishou, plus 30,000 soldiers and horses brought by Lord Zhang Ren outside Jiangling City, no matter from which point of view, Liu Bei is very difficult to use, but he is a husband, after this battle, he can justifiably gain the trust of officials up and down Jingzhou! ”

This girl seems to be really confused by that kid, and before she passed the door, she began to call her husband! And looking at her proud look, hey... The female university is not staying!

"That's true, but after all, Liu Bei is fighting against the water, and he won't deal with it so easily... Ay! is also a royal family, and it is in troubled times, why is it so troublesome, it is all power! ”

…

Xiangyang

At this time, Xiangyang was still surrounded by water, and hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city were waiting for battle, and a big war was about to break out.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, walked a few steps slowly, looked up at He Si'an on the city wall, the two looked at each other for a long time, and then Liu Bei slowly spoke: "Imperial nephew, Bei really doesn't want to fight in the same room, if you don't want to be miserable, please go out of the city for a while, Bei swears in the name of the ancestors, and will never do anything unfavorable to the imperial nephew!" ”

“… Since you call me an imperial nephew, then Gu will also call you an imperial uncle.

Uncle Huang, although my Han said that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was a faint situation of the princes, but the so-called sinking boat side of thousands of sails, in front of the sick tree ten thousand trees spring. Now that the situation is becoming clearer, why should Uncle Huang be persistent?

Not to mention whether you can capture this Xiangyang City, even if Uncle Huang takes Xiangyang, what's the point? Linger! Ask yourself, Uncle Huang thinks which of our uncles and nephews can better help the Han family, turn the tide, and help the building to collapse? ”

The light of the morning sun shone on the city wall and sprinkled on He Si'an's body, making Liu Bei a little unable to see He Si'an's expression, Liu Bei was in a trance for a moment, and a thought flashed in his heart.

Am I really doing something wrong? Wrong! ’

Soon, Liu Bei shook his head, abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart, and showed a confident expression on his face again.

"How do you know if you haven't tried it? Since the emperor's nephew is stubborn, everyone listens to the order and attacks ~city~! ”

As Liu Bei's last word fell, a dull sound of drums sounded in the rear, and then the shouting of killing shook the sky, and the battle began!

Liu Bei pulled his horse back to the Chinese army, looked at Chen Gong on the side and asked, "Gongtai thinks, when can we break through Xiangyang City?" ”

“… If we can't break the city tonight, then there will only be a way to fight to the death tomorrow, and if we don't break through Xiangyang City before nightfall tomorrow night, we can only take advantage of the night to escape back to Jiangxia, there is no other way! ”

"Tonight? Gongtai means..."

"The main gate of Xiangyang City is nearly one-third higher than the other three, and because of this, both of us tacitly agreed not to garrison here, but directly chose the east, west, and south to fight! We also have only a small force on the north flank to prevent the enemy from breaking through!

I also observed it just now, maybe it was because King Hongnong was young and vigorous, and he thought that this place could not be breached, so there was no defense at all over there.

Gong plans to take advantage of the poor vision at night, and the remaining three feints to attract the attention of Jingzhou soldiers, and at the same time send troops to secretly attack the north gate, as long as there is enough luck, it is not impossible to break through Xiangyang! ”

"The implication of Gongtai is... If the night attack is not successful, we will only have one day left! ”

"Yes, this is the most ideal outcome I can imagine, and the palace even thinks that maybe there is a small group of enemy troops around us right now! Because of this, I ordered the second and third generals to make a feint today, on the one hand, to see if they can draw out the enemy army, and on the other hand, to preserve their strength for tomorrow's general attack! ”

"That's true, otherwise, how could a huge city be easily breached in two days?" Liu Bei muttered to himself, as if he was talking to Chen Gong beside him, and as if he was talking to himself...

The warm morning light reflected a magnificent color on the city walls and siege engines. On Liu Bei's side, under the deliberate arrangement of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, groups of soldiers charged forward with spears and shields, followed by dozens of soldiers carrying siege ladders and rushing forward.

On the city walls, the soldiers defending the city were armed with bows and arrows, staring nervously at the enemy below, waiting for an order.

As Liu Beijun entered the firing range, the guards of all sides ordered the arrows to be released, and with the sound of breaking wind, a wail of the soldiers below sounded, but more came to the city wall under the cover of the shield!

At this time, the huge siege tower also slowly approached the city wall, and the soldiers at the top of the tower kept shooting bows and arrows to suppress the defenders on the city wall. At the same time, ladders were pushed to the city walls, and soldiers in heavy armor began to climb. The defenders of the city did not show weakness, they counterattacked with bows and arrows and rolling stones, and for a while, arrows flew up and down the city walls, and stones flew sideways.

Although the besieging side was numerous, the Jingzhou army on the city wall repelled the enemy's attacks again and again by virtue of the dangerous terrain and strong city defenses. The two sides launched a fierce tug-of-war, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat for a while.

As night fell, the battle began to come to an end. In the end, it was Liu Bei who took the initiative to withdraw his troops!

At the end of the day, the two sides can be said to be evenly matched, Liu Beijun lost nearly 20,000 soldiers, but most of them were newly surrendered! As for Xiangyang, with its towering city walls, there were only less than 2,000 casualties on three sides, but nearly half of the arrows and rolling logs were consumed!

He Si'an stood on the city wall, looking at Liu Beijun below with deep eyes and thoughtful eyes.

Since he was personally in charge of the defense of Xiangyang, He Si'an has been thinking about the whole battle from Liu Bei's point of view, no matter from which point of view, Liu Bei's chances of winning are not great, if you want to break through Xiangyang, the only way is to make a surprise!

What is a conspiracy? It's nothing more than night attacks, water attacks, and fire attacks...

As long as it can hold out until tomorrow, I believe that Zhang Ren's army can arrive, as for Zhao Yun's side, it is likely that he has already come to the vicinity, but Liu Bei obviously did not use all his strength to attack the city today, so that Xiangyang City did not show any signs of being breached, and Zhao Yun did not rush to send troops because of this, so as not to fall into Liu Bei's plan to encircle and send reinforcements!

"Chen Gong really has two brushes, and he is still so thoughtful when he is pressed for time! It seems that you still can't underestimate the people of the world..."He Si'an muttered to himself.

Then a soldier was called, whispered a few words to him, and the soldier took the order and trotted away in the direction of the north gate.
