Chapter 30 Caught in a desperate situation, fleeing from the dilemma!
Liu Bei has no literary talent, sparse martial arts, greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention, as soon as he loses the battle, he will abandon his wife and children, he has no sense of responsibility for a man, and he has no other survival skills except for weaving mats and selling shoes, in terms of comprehensive ability, he ranks last among the princes of all walks of life!
However, Liu Bei also has an advantage: the more frustrated he is, the more courageous he is, the more he relents, no matter how big the defeat is, even if he is alone, he has never been discouraged, he can always save his life, recover his strength, and move forward bravely on the road to hegemony!
What is it to be attacked from behind, what is it to lose half of Xiangyang City, no matter how big the loss is, are you still afraid of small setbacks, you still have strategists and generals, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, enough to make a comeback!
"Cross the Han River, recover the southern city, advance and reward, retreat and behead - kill!"
In the early morning of the next day, after regaining strength, under the command of the military advisor Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun each led a team, riding a small warship, and took turns to attack the south bank, trying to cross the Han River and reoccupy the Nancheng District!
In order to boost morale, Liu Bei stood on the shore and personally beat the drums to cheer, only to listen to the drums like thunder, shouting to kill the sky, several teams are like stormy waves, violently impacting the south bank defense line!
"Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, invincible in the world, strictly defend to the death, do not retreat - shoot!"
Xiao Yi also went into battle in person, lined up the 15,000 Xuanjia iron horsemen along the river bank, shot bows and arrows at a distance, and slashed with swords at a distance, resolutely not letting the enemy go ashore for a single step!
The Xuanjia army is well-trained, especially good at riding and archery, where the dense arrow rain goes, Liu Beijun fell down in pieces, with heavy casualties, brave as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun have no choice, they are all land tigers, but they are not good at water warfare!
When the two sides clashed fiercely, Dian Wei outside the city was not idle, and led his troops to storm the eastern, northern, and western gates of Xiangyang, forcing Liu Bei to transfer a large number of men and horses to defend behind him, so he could not concentrate his strength and attack the defense line on the south bank!
In this way, the two sides fought from early morning until sunset, Liu Beijun launched a strong attack five times, all of which ended in failure, the casualties of the soldiers were extremely heavy, the Han River was full of floating corpses, and the river was dyed red!
Seeing that the strong attack was ineffective, after Liu Bei and Xu Shu discussed, they decided to select elite dead soldiers, and under the cover of night, take a small boat to attack the south bank.
What he didn't expect was that Xiao Yi had been on the battlefield for a long time and had long been prepared for the other party's night attack, so he had hundreds of firewood and grass stacks placed on the bank of the Han River, and then all of them were ignited, and the flames instantly soared into the sky, like a fire dragon......
Under the illumination of the flames, the two sides of the Han River were as bright as day, Liu Beijun had no chance to sneak attack at all, and the flames on the shore were soaring, the heat wave was pressing, even if the ships rushed over, the people and horses could not get on the south bank, they were just sent to death in vain!
After the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, the people were anxious and intelligent, and after the strong attack and sneak attack failed, Liu Bei learned from the pain and thought of a good way: attacking the heart, he couldn't break through the defense line of Nancheng, but he could win the hearts of the people in Nancheng!
"Uncle Emperor of the Han Dynasty - Pavilion Marquis of Yicheng - General Lingzuo - Liu Bei, tell the fathers and villagers of Xiangyang City, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han family has fallen into decline, the society has been turbulent, first there is Dong Zhuo's troubled dynasty, and then Kyushu has collapsed and lost all lives, and now there is a traitor Cao Cao, who bullied the Son of Heaven and pressed down on hundreds of officials, killed the mother of the country, and heaven did not tolerate it!
Cao thieves relied on treacherous tactics to occupy the Central Plains is still insufficient, and drove hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers to invade the nine counties of Jingxiang in the south.
Xiao Yizhi - an incorruptible and shameless man, regardless of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, willing to be the minions of the Cao family, leading the army to plunder the Quartet, killing people, exterminating the clan, and slaughtering countless cities, he is actually the most vicious person in the world!
When Liu Jingsheng was dying, he entrusted the nine counties of Jingzhou to the preparation, and also hoped that the father and old folks of Xiangyang, adhering to loyalty and assisting the Han family, worked together to fight against the traitors, recover the land of the city, and return my peaceful years--woo! ”
……………………………………………………
Liu Bei asked people to build a three-zhang high platform on the north bank of the Han River, and he was wearing plain clothes, standing on the high platform, shouting loudly to the south bank, saying deep and touching, and crying loudly......
In addition, hundreds of soldiers repeated Liu Bei's words word for word, so that all the people in Nancheng could hear them, hoping that they would take up arms and resist the invading Cao army together to defend their homeland!
The Xuanjia iron cavalry stationed in Nancheng is only 15,000 people, but there are more than 200,000 people in Xiangyang, as long as they attack it in groups, no matter how strong Xiao Yi is, he will be in a hurry, Liu Bei will take the opportunity to send troops to attack, and he will definitely be able to recover Nancheng!
This plan can be described as exquisite, and attacking the heart is better than thousands of troops, but Liu Bei made a big mistake, that is, he exaggerated Xiao Yi's ferocity, which was supposed to anger the people of Xiangyang, but he didn't expect it to backfire!
After Liu Beiyi's propaganda, the people of Xiangyang were even more afraid, not only did no one dare to rebel, but closed the door and kept silent, and they all obediently started to be good citizens!
Liu Bei shouted for most of the day, but it didn't work at all, but he was tired and dry, panting, and poured three bowls of betel nut soup in a row to suppress the dry fire, and what was even more terrifying was that he angered Xiao Yi!
"What a shameless big-eared thief, in order to achieve his own hegemony, he actually bewitched the kind people and wanted to push them to the battlefield, how vicious is his intentions?
Since you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous later, isn't it just a psychological war, let's see whose means are more clever, come ............"
Xiao Yi fought in the south and the north, killing people like hemp, but he never hurt innocent people, and he hated people the most to drive the people into battle, and now Liu Bei has committed a big taboo, so he naturally wants to take revenge, let him understand what 'the way of the other is to give back to the other!' ’
Xiao Yi summoned a few pro-soldiers and whispered a few words in his ear, and the latter took the order to go down, and after a while, he brought two people, it was Mrs. Cai and Liu Cong, the second son!
After Liu Bei took the Jingzhou Mu, he put the two under house arrest in the State Mu's Mansion, thinking that the situation would be stable for a while, and then secretly 'disposing' of them, but he didn't expect Xuanjia Tie to ride into the city, occupy the State Mu's mansion, and capture the two by the way!
"Woohoo! --Husband--Woo--Father...... You're leaving us alone! ”
…………………………
In just a few days, they were taken hostage twice, and they fell into the hands of the 'God of Killing', Cai's and Liu Cong's faces were so frightened that they couldn't say the whole thing, they just cried blindly!
Xiao Yi pushed the two people out, and they didn't need to say anything, just stand on the edge of the Han River and cry for a while, because the cry of these two people is worth a thousand words!
According to the Chinese habit - 'the father dies and the son succeeds, and the righteousness is justified', after Liu Biao's death, the position of Jingzhou Mu was Liu Qing's, but now it has fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, although there is a posthumous life as a basis, but it is difficult to escape the infamy of 'bullying the weak and seizing people's inheritance'!
The tears of orphans and widows are the most sympathetic, and all the people of Xiangyang who saw Cai's and Liu Cong crying bitterly were full of sympathy, and their good impression of Liu Bei also dropped a few steps in an instant!
This is still Xiao Yi's subordinates showing mercy, and there is no need for a darker strategy, otherwise Cai's clothes will be torn and she will be forced to scold Liu Bei a few words, and a big hat of 'bullying his nephew and stealing his sister-in-law, corrupting people' will be able to buckle Liu Bei's head and make him unable to turn over for the rest of his life!
"Xiao Yi can be good at fighting and scheming, guarding the southern city like an iron bucket, and using the identities of Cai's and Liu Cong to win a lot of hearts in Xiangyang!
Our army has failed several attacks, and the soldiers have been frustrated, and if they continue to entangle, I am afraid that they will not be able to get benefits. ”
Xu Shu took a few steps forward and whispered in Liu Bei's ear, in fact, several attacks failed, it was nothing to lose some men and horses, the strength of Liu Bei's army still existed, and it could continue to fight, the real problem was that time was --- pressing!
You must know that most of the grain, grass, ordnance, and various materials in Xiangyang City are hoarded in the warehouses of the southern city, and the reserves of the northern city are very small, which is not enough for Liu Bei's tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people to consume.
The most important thing is that after learning about the battle situation in Xiangyang City, Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops and has quickly moved south from Wancheng, and the distance between the two places is only more than 400 miles.
At that time, the north and south will be encircled, and the internal and external attacks will be attacked, and Liu Beijun will become a turtle in the urn, and it will be difficult to escape the end of the whole army, so the best way is to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement has not been formed, bravely recapture the southern city, and then meet the main force of the Cao army to the north!
If you really can't take it back, then you can only give up Xiangyang City, find another place to live, and then deal with Cao Jun, the problem is that under the surveillance of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang, it is not easy to break through safely!
Liu Bei has 50,000 or 60,000 horses, as well as hundreds of thousands of followers, this is the capital of the king and hegemony, and he must not give up easily, but more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians break through together, and the speed of action is bound to be slow, and it is good to be able to walk more than 20 miles a day!
Xiao Yi's Xuanjia army, one person and three horsemen, well-equipped, the best at mobile combat, as long as Liu Bei's team leaves Xiangyang City, they will follow and follow like hungry wolves, attacking on the empty plain, and there is no scum left to eat a mouthful!
If you want to exit safely, there are only two possibilities: one is that Xiao Yi suddenly got into the water in his head, and he let the fleeing enemy not pursue; The second is that God blesses and lowers some favorable factors...... Otherwise, Liu Beijun will be in a catastrophe!
