As the so-called wind rises at the end of Qingping, every time before the war, whether it is the height of the temple or the distance of the rivers and lakes, there is a premonition, and people are panicked.

In the late spring of Chengping 24, the two Xiang war has not officially kicked off, but the whole Xiangyang city has a kind of mountain rain is about to come and the atmosphere of the wind is full of buildings, fortunately, the two Xiang is a place of a hundred battles after all, at this time there are many old people in the city who have experienced the war of the year, plus Yu Kuang himself sat here, so the city is quite stable at this time, and there is no chaos.

However, there is already a rumor outside the city, unlike the last slightly tentative siege, although Xiao Jin did not come to the siege this time, but the number of people was more than double the last time.

According to the concept advocated by Zhang Wuxi, if there is only a strong city, then the long defense will be lost, the difference is just the length of time, the most typical example is the Xiangyang offensive and defensive battle in the last years of the Great Chu, the defender is the famous general Lu Tingzhi of the Great Chu, the siege party is the general Huyanshu of the Later Construction Dynasty, the two of them attack and defend, starting from the third year of Xianchun, after the middle of the Lu Tingzhi anti-encirclement war, Li Wen Li Huan to aid the battle of Xiang, the battle of Longweizhou and the battle of Xiangfan, finally because of the lonely city without help, in the ninth year of Xianchun, Lu Tingzhi was exhausted and had to surrender after the construction, which lasted six years, and ended with the fall of Xiangyang in the Great Chu。

Therefore, after Zhang Wuxian took office as the governor of the left capital of the Northwest Left Army, he attached great importance to the cavalry, thinking that no matter how many walled forts there were, no matter how strong the city was, it was the cavalry that could fight outside the city that finally decided the direction of the war, if the cavalry could not go out of the city, then the walled forts would be just islands in the sea, which could only be broken by the grassland army one by one, and only a strong cavalry army that could go out of the city to fight could "thread the needle" and connect these walled forts like beads into a complete bead curtain.

Because of this, Zhang Wuxian fought with Lin Han and Lin Shu's father and son. After several hard battles, even if the losses are quite heavy, he still refuses to retreat into the city, as long as his cavalry has not retreated into the city for a day, then this bead curtain will be complete in one day, and the grassland army will not be able to enter the northwest half a step, but if he turns to retreat into the city to defend, then the grassland army can completely bypass this heroic city, wave the army south, from Shaanzhou into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and do not have to take into account the northwest army to cut off their back road, because at this time, there is Xiao Jin's Wei army to the south to respond, and Mu Tangzhi's northeast army to the north echoes from afar, Lin Han's grassland army will not be a lone army to go deep。

For this reason, the cabinet once worded a rather stern urgent delivery, ordering Zhang Wuzhi not to let a steppe cavalry enter the Central Plains, because the imperial court was no longer able to arrange a second line of defense behind the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army must win half a year to let the imperial court solve the war in the south of the Yangtze River. At the same time, the cabinet also sent an additional dispatch to Yu Kuang in the south of the Yangtze River, telling him to stabilize the situation in the southeast and wait for reinforcements from Shuzhou.

Different from Zhang Wuzhi's heavy burden, Yu Kuang received this cabinet urgent delivery, his heart was more bitter smile and speechless, his family knew his own family affairs, the Jiangnan Navy Division was to the Jiangnan Rear Army, which was equivalent to the Northwest Cavalry Army to the Northwest Left Army, after the Battle of Dongting Lake, the Jiangnan Navy Division was lost, and now the Jiangnan Rear Army has no power to go out of the city to fight, and can only be trapped in the lonely city, the so-called stabilization of the situation in the southeast is just that the cabinet princes gave him a little face for the veteran, to put it bluntly, it is just to let him hold the two Xiang.

At this time, the river outside the city was already full of Wei ships, and the Wei navy began to arrange wooden stakes and iron locks to cross the river with iron locks and block the river, making the two cities completely isolated cities. As the Wei army further advanced outside the city of Liangxiang, this also means that the strength of the Wei army is better than the previous one, and this time it must be a desperate gamble, and then it will be to attack Xiangyang with half the strength of the country.

If you want to defend the two Xiang, it is difficult, but you have to defend it, because this is a battle that is enough to affect the general trend of the world.

Whether it was Shangguan Tan, the leading general of the Wei State, or Yu Kuang, who was in charge of Liangxiang, both of them thought that this was a big battle that was no less than the battle between Dachu and Houjian Xiangyang, but to their surprise, the start of this war was so hasty, and even for both sides, they were so caught off guard.

Xiao Jin has an only son under his knees, and he is still an old man, but he was born to Meng Dongfei when he incarnated as Chen Gongyu, and he was originally following Meng Dongfei's side and named Meng Suilong, after Chen Gongyu's identity was exposed, Xiao Jin simply asked Meng Suilong to recognize his ancestors and change his surname to Xiao.

According to the generation, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu are half-brothers, his son is the same generation as Xiao Xuan, and it should be a single word. Xuanzhi, the ancestor of nature, and the great sect of ten thousand things" also "a word, named him Xiao Shu."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when he was still called Meng Suilong, was not a safe lord, he once broke into the Jiangdu Sword Sect alone at night, but was captured by Xu Beiyou, and finally Meng Dongfei personally came forward to save him from Xu Beiyou's hands, but he still did not repent, and he was provoked in Jiuyuan City, and was almost captured by Xu Beiyou, this time Xiao Jin sent troops to Jiangnan, he refused to lag behind others by half a step, this time he secretly came to the front line of Liangxiang without Meng Dongfei, gathered a cavalry army of more than 2,000 people, and also wanted to pass a horse as a general who turned to fight thousands of miles。

At this time, Xiao Shu was wearing light armor, riding an extraordinary white horse, without a trace of miscellaneous hair on his body, and his endurance was excellent, which could be called a thousand gold, this was the grassland horse king tamed by Lin Han back then, and after giving it to Xiao Jin, he was given to his son by Xiao Jin. Behind him is a neat cavalry army of two thousand, not only is it not a rabble, but the most elite light cavalry, although it may not be as good as the elite light cavalry in the northwest and the grassland, but in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not a place where cavalry is long, it is already a first-class elite, and there is a polite and elegant man beside him, with three strands of long hair, wearing a green shirt, which is particularly eye-catching on the battlefield full of iron armor, this person is Huang Xiao, the sword master of the Sword Sect, who has been in the realm of earth immortals for many years, and was once a disciple of the sect master of the Sword Sect, Gongsun Zhongmou, but because of collusion with the people in the Daomen, he was expelled from the division by Gongsun Zhongmou in anger, and he was barely half of Xu Beiyou's senior brother, now he is a Qingke under the King of Wei, and he is also Xiao Shu's swordsmanship teacher.

Previously, Xiao Shu led the rank to chase and kill a group of scouts of the Jiangnan rear army, not doing his best, but playing with cats and mice, and never rushed to kill, because it was a one-sided pursuit, so Xiao Shu who was sitting on the horse wandered leisurely, never held a bow, nor did he hold a spear, but a long knife with a sheath in front of him, when he was about ten miles away from the two Xiang, he clamped the horse's belly, and the whole person rushed out quickly, and the entire cavalry behind him also quickly accelerated forward, quickly surrounding these extremely tired remnants.

Xiao Shu, who was sitting on horseback, sneered, held down the long knife in front of him with one hand, and slowly raised the other hand.

All the cavalry immediately wound their crossbow arrows in unison, and with the sound of the reeds, the crossbow arrows shot out like rain.

Immediately, dozens of cavalrymen of the Jiangnan Cavalry fell to the ground.

Then all the Wei cavalry began to draw their swords, and a complete slaughter ensued, even if there was occasional resistance, it was in vain.

Xiao Shulema, who was called the "Crown Prince" by the Wei State, looked at the faintly visible Xiangyang City, and pressed the long knife in front of him again, the corners of his mouth curled.

Who dares to slash right away?
