Chapter 579
Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly: "We can't take the enemy army in front, and when the second batch of cavalry comes one after another, our army will be even more difficult to resist, so ......"
Zhang Fei on the side asked unconvinced: "If you can kill that Haobai in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better than killing a million male soldiers!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Haobai is strong in martial arts, although he rarely makes a move, but he is known to be the best in the world, and he can't be killed at all." ”
Liu Bei asked helplessly: "The military advisor has always been full of wisdom, why is he so pessimistic and negative now!"
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "We are not defeated by the opponent's naval army, we have lost the Han Water Trench, and the Hao army is full of cavalry, the strength dictates, Liang is helpless, not to mention, Liang is worried that the lord's soldiers and horses will be exhausted in this battle......"
While he was talking, the cavalry of the Hao army came like the wind, and it was already two or three miles away, and Liu Bei no longer hesitated at the moment: "Mingjin, collect the troops!"
Bang Bang Bang!
The order for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops sounded, and all the soldiers of the Liu Army retreated in the direction of Xiangyang like a tide.
When night fell, Liu Bei finally fled back to Xiangyang, and with Liu Bei came back the news of his defeat.
The entire Xiangyang City fell into a panic in the blink of an eye.
Those people of Xiangyang, who were accustomed to peace, never imagined that one day they would be so close to the war.
Haobai, who won a great victory, did not pursue, but gathered soldiers and horses to cross the river on the south bank of the Han River.
Finally, at noon the next day, the army all gathered on the south bank of the Han River, and the black pressure crowded the entire riverbank, stretching for more than ten miles.
The 100,000 army, like a wind and clouds, went all the way up the river, demolishing and burning the strongholds of the Liu army along the coast, and for a time the south bank of the Han River was full of fire, thick smoke was billowing out, and the fire became more and more intense by the river wind.
Before dusk, Haobai finally saw Xiangyang City.
This is the largest city in Jingzhou before, standing majestically on the bank of the Han River, and the towering and long city wall shows its status in Jingzhou.
Hao Bai Wangcheng felt that in his mind, those memories of Xiangyang turned over one by one.
Xiangyang was originally the seat of Jingzhou, but due to the arrival of Haobai, Ning County became the seat of Jingzhou.
In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, Xiangyang City was like a nail inserted by Wei under the nose of Wu, so that even if Wu defeated Guan Yu and seized Jiangling and other important places, it was still difficult day and night.
In the Condor World of that year, Guo Jing blocked the Mongolian army in Xiangyang for decades, and finally it was because the Mongolian army broke through Xiangyang, but Haobai had changed the war at the beginning.
How important Xiangyang City is, Haobai is very clear, and now, this legendary city has appeared in front of Haobai again.
On the same day, Haobai completed the encirclement of Xiangyang from the north, east and west, and deliberately surrounded three missing one.
There is still a large army in Xiangyang City, and if Liu Bei defends it, it will not be easy to storm Xiangyang, a strong city in the world......
In the hall of Liu Bei's mansion, the atmosphere was extremely dull.
Liu Bei sat in the middle, and Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were separated from other civil and military forces.
Except for Zhuge Liang, everyone was full of gloomy faces, but Zhuge Liang kept shaking the feather fan with a leisurely expression.
After a long time, Liu Bei broke the silence and asked astringently, "Can Xiangyang be kept?"
Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly: "Now the people in Xiangyang City are not aligned, the enemy's siege equipment is excellent, unparalleled in the world, and there are many generals, and the strategists are like clouds, it is a miracle that Xiangyang City can hold for three months, but it is ......"
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "But what, Kong Ming has a plan!"
Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said, "Yes, Liang has a plan to solve the siege of the lord." ”
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Come quickly!"
Zhuge Liang said leisurely: "The enemy army surrounds Sanque one, the lord can lead the troops to withdraw from the south gate overnight, run to Jiangxia, and the lord retreats, then Xiangyang will break itself, and then unite Jiangdong Sun Sun Jian to fight against the Yangtze River moat." The main force of the Hao army is cavalry, and its naval army has only one Ganning, and Jiangdong has a large number of naval generals, but if the Jiangdong naval army on the Yangtze River competes for power, it will inevitably be defeated, Haobai is defeated, and the lord and Sun Ce's coalition army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, then it will be greatly injured, so the three parties are separated, and the momentum of the peak is complete!"
Liu Bei fell into deep contemplation after saying this, and said helplessly for a long time: "Fleeing before a fight is not a gentleman's doing, and this plan is not appropriate after all......"
This time, Zhuge Liang was anxious: "Lord, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from its chaos!"
Liu Bei's face was full of hesitation, and he couldn't make a decision after all, but said: "You wait to retreat first, let me think about it!"
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to retreat with everyone.
Zhuge Liang rode a four-wheeled car, surrounded by a group of guards, and left Liu Bei's temporary mansion for a long time, still unwilling to turn around and sigh fiercely.
......
Under the city of Xiangyang, 100,000 troops stood solemnly, waiting for the movement in the city.
An army of 250,000 surrounded the four gates of Xiangyang City, including the originally vacated south gate, intending to catch turtles in the urn and wipe out the Liu army in the city.
Haobai personally sat at the east gate, Zhao Yun was in charge of the battle at the south gate, Wen Chou was at the west gate, and Yan Liang was in charge of the north gate.
Before the army, the guns and shields were like forests, and the flags were like clouds, and behind the dense shield array, there were rows of strong crossbows, surrounded by crossbow arrows, and then led the army to attack the city, so that they could obtain the greatest fruits of victory at the lowest cost.
Just when Haobai wanted to attack the city!
However, the unexpected appeared!
There was a sudden shouting of killing in the city, and Guo Jia on the side couldn't help frowning slightly: "What's the matter!"
Haobai swept it with his divine sense and said, "There was a rebellion in the Liu army in the city, and he started a fight. ”
Originally, Jingzhou was very stable under Haobai's governance, but Liu Bei's sudden arrival naturally caused many people to be dissatisfied, but Liu Bei was usually pressed by a large army, and no one dared to make trouble.
But now Liu Bei has been defeated several times in a row, and suddenly some families have made trouble.
Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Lord, since the situation has changed, please make a decision immediately and attack the city immediately, otherwise the fighter plane will be fleeting!"
Obviously, Guo Jia's opinion is right, and the important thing at this moment is to take advantage of the chaos in the whole city to seize the city in one fell swoop.
Haobai immediately raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Pass the order to go down and attack the city!"
Woooooo
The desolate and distant sound of the horn sounded like a violent wind in Xiangyang, and countless soldiers of the Hao army pushed the ladder cart, under the cover of the endless rain of arrows, launched a fierce attack on Xiangyang City.
Due to the reason of the chaos in the city, the process of attacking the city was surprisingly fast, less than two incense sticks, the defenders at the east gate of Haobai were already defeated, and the Hao army with excellent armor was killed on the city tower and opened the city gate.
Just when Hao Bai had just led the Chinese army into the city with a large group of soldiers and horses, several horse scouts suddenly came out of the crowd and galloped towards him.
"Report, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang tore down the city wall in the southeast corner, and have led the crowd to flee out of the city through the gap. ”
"What?" the strategists around Hao Bai instantly became messy.
They made a lot of calculations, but they never expected that Zhuge Liang was ready to evacuate from the beginning, and actually directly knocked down the city wall and fled.
