It didn't take long for Liu Biao to walk to the city tower.

It's just that when Liu Biao walked to the city tower, the battle of the army led by Liu Zheng to attack the city was over.

After Tai Shici led 10,000 soldiers and horses and launched a round of attacks, he found that the defenders of this city tower were very tenacious and could not easily defeat the city, so he took the initiative to retreat according to Liu Zheng's instructions.

Liu Biao walked up to the city tower, looked at the soldiers and horses on Liu Zheng's side, and at this time they had slowly retreated from under the city tower, and then retreated a few hundred meters away from the city.

Because of the distance, Liu Biao couldn't see the people under the city clearly, but who they were, and he wasn't sure if it was Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, in fact, even if he could see the face clearly, he hadn't seen Liu Zheng, and he didn't know Liu Zheng.

However, he still quickly found Li Yan and wanted to ask about the news of these enemy troops under the city through Li Yan's mouth.

"Zhengfang (Li Yanbiao), what is the situation now, why did those enemies retreat?"

On the city tower, Liu Biao hurriedly found Li Yan who was commanding the battle on the city tower, Li Yan had just repelled Tai Shici's attack, and there were still some palpitations at this time, and Liu Biao asked this, but it was a little calmer, and he took advantage of the fact that the enemy army did not attack, so he answered Liu Biao's question.

"Lord, the last general doesn't know, it's just that not long ago, suddenly there was a large number of people outside the city attacking, I thought it was our own people at first, who knew that as soon as those enemy troops appeared, they would directly launch an attack without saying a word, and at first glance they came prepared, I could only order my men to start defending."

"But after only attacking for a while, these people retreated on their own, and you see, now they are stationed outside the city."

Li Yan pointed with his finger, the enemies outside, Liu Biao looked in the direction of the outside of the city, and sure enough, he could see that the dense crowd of people and horses outside the city was forming a formation, arranging the military formation to besiege the city.

As soon as you look at this appearance, you can know that the other party is not retreating, but wants to prepare to surround Xiangyang City and carry out a long-term attack.

"Hurry up, immediately give an order to Cai Mao in Changsha, let him come to the rescue of Xiangyang, and let people go out of the city to ask for help while the enemy army has not surrounded the four walls of our Xiangyang City!"

Liu Biao doesn't care at all, where do these enemies outside the city come from, whose men and horses they are, but as long as he attacks the city, it means that these people are not friends at all, but enemies, since they are enemies, and they have 20,000 people, this number is not at all what the current Xiangyang can resist.

The only thing that can be dealt with is to let Cai Mao, who is in Changsha, send reinforcements over.

After all, the people of Jiangxia can't move, and only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Changsha can draw enough manpower.

Only 20,000 horses need to be drawn from Changsha, which is enough to solve the siege of 20,000 troops outside the city.

"Yes, my lord."

Li Yan didn't think of asking for help at all just now, even if he thought of it, he didn't have the right to send someone for help, only when Liu Biao opened his mouth could he call the shots, so at this time Liu Biao ordered, Li Yan immediately spoke to a few heralds behind him, and arranged three waves of people in batches, from three directions, to Changsha for help.

These heralds had horses, and with the help of war horses, they went out of the city from other city gates and passed in the direction of Changsha County at the same time, and it probably only took two or three days to reach Changsha.

After Cai Mao of Changsha received the news, he gathered his troops and it would take three or four days to rush over, and after calculation, the fastest time was five days, and Xiangyang City would be able to have the first wave of reinforcements.

However, it is not easy to hold on for two days under the siege of 20,000 troops, at least, Li Yan, the defender on the city tower, is not too sure in his heart at this time.

Although Li Yan is also a second-tier military general in the Shu Han Dynasty in the late Three Kingdoms, he can be regarded as a martial artist, and he can fight with Huang Zhong alone for dozens of rounds without winning or losing, and he can be regarded as having some ability, but the current Li Yan is still young after all, and he has not experienced too many storms, so it is inevitable that he is not very confident.

"Lord, let's go to Cai Mao for help, but the people of Changsha, it takes at least five days to get here, five days, and now it is not easy to hold the city by relying only on the five thousand defenders in our city."

Li Yan said his worries to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao was not worried.

"Don't be afraid, let's see what the enemy wants to do first, you are responsible for guarding the city gates, I will go to the city to recruit warriors to assist in defending the city, as long as we can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, we don't have to worry."

Liu Biao actually didn't have much confidence in his heart to block the attack of these enemy troops, but after all, he was the lord, and he couldn't give up in front of his subordinates, so he could only give Li Yan some encouragement.

At the same time, Liu Biao took two steps to the city tower and continued to look at the city.

"Come, shout a few words outside the city, let the leaders of these enemy troops come out and speak, I will first ask what the origin of these people is."

Even if Liu Biao wants to defend the city, he must first find out who his enemy is.

The guards on the left and right immediately began to shout outside the city.

"Listen, those who are outside the city, let your chief come out!"

The guards on the left and right sides have been shouting several words, and the loud voices, together, the voice finally spread outside the city, and someone reported it to Liu Zheng, who actually vaguely heard the shouts on the city tower.

However, I didn't hear what the other party was shouting clearly, and if he saw his subordinates coming to report, Liu Zheng didn't mind going out to chat with the people on the city tower.

Anyway, Liu Zheng told the other party his identity, which could also cause some fear from the other party, so that the soldiers defending the city understood that the famous Liu Zheng was coming, and when Liu Zheng's fame resounded throughout Xiangyang, I was afraid that Liu Biao would also be afraid.

After shouting a few words, Liu Zheng quickly appeared under the city tower under the protection of the left and right guards.

Tai Shi Ci and Zu Lang guarded his Liu Zheng's side, after all, at this distance, if the other party released a cold arrow, there was still some chance that he could shoot Liu Zheng.

A few martial arts experts are needed to help Liu Zheng keep an eye on one or two.

"I'm the one who is in charge."

Liu Zheng walked out, stood under the city, and glanced at the city tower, he soon found that there was a middle-aged man in his forties on the city tower, this middle-aged man, with a polite appearance, was very bookish at a glance, according to Liu Zheng's understanding of Liu Biao, most of the time, the person in front of him was Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao stationed in Xiangyang.
