Xu Chen had 8,000 troops in his hands, and a thousand people were scattered along the streets, and these people were ready to intercept the passing heralds.

On several main roads in the city, they were blocked, and the army was allowed to pass, but if it was a herald, no matter which side it was, none of them would think of passing.

They can't stop the army, but they do more to stop the heralds.

It would have been too advantageous for the defenders of the four gates if they could not contact each other.

After Xu Chen made arrangements, he immediately led his troops to the West Gate.

At this time, the army of the Tang Dynasty was attacking the West Gate and attacked fiercely.

At the head of the city, thousands are Cao troops, thousands are Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, and there are more than 2,000 people under the city gate, all of whom are Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.

"Kill the past and open the gates."

After Xu Chen initially understood the situation, he did not hesitate and ordered to attack the city gate.

The regular army of 3,000 Datang was the vanguard, and 7,000 people were killed together.

At first, the army guarding the gate thought it was reinforcements, but when they got closer, the army attacked him.

Xu Chen attacked and soon opened the city gate.

The army outside was led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, and they came in and gave priority to surrounding Cao's military camp according to the plan.

Cao Jun already knew the situation and gathered a large army to stand by.

It's just that they haven't received Cao Ren's order.

Not only that, but they didn't know what was going on in Xiangyang City, so they could only stand by and defend the city according to the plan.

The generals of the Cao army ordered to stick to the barracks, but they had no way to do it.

Speaking of Cao Ren, the south gate was breached, and he immediately rushed to the east gate with more than 20,000 people, wanting to gather an army, and then break out.

But he had just walked halfway when he met the approaching Datang army.

The east gate had already been broken, and the Cao army camp at the east gate was surrounded, and some of the soldiers and horses were outflanked.

Cao Ren was blocked.

Soon, Zhang Yu and Dian Wei killed him from behind.

The two armies began to storm Cao Ren's army.

At the north gate, Zhou Yu was attacking with tens of thousands of people.

However, he soon received news that the three gates had fallen.

"Terrible, how many internal responses are there in the city? This Cao Jun is afraid that it is also dangerous. ”

Zhou Yu had known the plan for a long time, but he didn't know if the plan arranged by Zhang Yu could be completed.

Now, Zhou Yu has no doubts, Zhang Yu's plan should be easy.

Huang Zhong walked up, and then said: "The three city gates have been broken, and this north gate will not last long, and the whole army is ready to charge." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, it was true.

Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour of their onslaught, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses in the city were scattered, and only Cao's army was resisting.

And the army guarding the city gate simply abandoned the city gate and opened the city to surrender.

There was fighting everywhere, the enemy was killing in, and there was no need for them to resist.

The Tang army broke through the four city gates.

A large number of Jingzhou troops surrendered outright, and then turned to attack Cao's army.

Cao's barracks were surrounded.

Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong also led their troops and horses to attack Cao's military camp.

Cao Jun, several city gates can't echo each other.

Cao's army was divided into several parts, and the army defending the city and the barracks were not together, nor were the armies of the four city gates.

At the beginning, such a distribution was also considered, and Cai Mao didn't dare to let them control a city wall alone, so he separated them.

In this way, the drawbacks were exposed, and Cao Jun still had the possibility of breaking through.

However, being divided into several parts and surrounded separately, none of them could run.

Cao Ren was surrounded in the middle, and several other military camps were also surrounded.

There was chaos in the city of Xiangyang, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

There were battles near several city gates, but mainly with Cao Jun.

At least half of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses surrendered.

Some of them "revolted" on the battlefield and directly turned their heads to attack Cao's army.

The Cao army suffered a very fierce attack, and the army of the Tang Dynasty was already powerful, and then there were soldiers and horses from Jingzhou to attack together.

In the palace, it was even more chaotic, and Cai Mao was awakened in her sleep.

Originally, he was going to personally lead troops to quell the rebellion, but suddenly the four city gates were broken, so there was no need for him to personally lead troops to quell the rebellion.

"What the hell is going on? What happened? ”

"Why would they go into town, why?"

"Quick, let's go and see, what's going on now?"

Cai Mao has already messed up.

Many scouts were sent out in the palace, but none of them could send back the news, and they were intercepted halfway.

Similarly, many of those sent to the palace to deliver news were intercepted.

Half an hour after Zhang Yu and the others entered the city, Cai Mao still didn't know the specific situation.

Cai Mao: They are also aware of the problem.

"Commander Cai, you personally take someone to check, I want to know the specific news."

Cai Mao couldn't help it, and sent several batches of scouts who couldn't bring back the news.

A few scouts went out to inquire about the situation, but when they found out about the situation, they immediately threw away their weapons and outfits and ran away.

At this time, the situation could not be clearer.

Cai Mao's palace has become blind.

Cai Mao had to send Commander Cai out as well.

Commander Cai led more than 2,000 people.

Sure enough, after he went out, no one intercepted him, more than 2,000 people, and the people arranged by Xu Chen couldn't intercept them, so there was no problem in letting them go, and when they arrived at the battlefield, what was the use of this Cai Commander, 2,000 people.

Commander Cai led the people forward quickly.

"What's going on up ahead?" Cai commanded the streets in the middle of the city and encountered a group of street patrols.

"Report to the general, there are people in rebellion at both the east gate and the south gate, and we have sent several waves of people to investigate, but there is no specific news."

Commander Cai didn't doubt it, thought about it, and then led people to move on.

Commander Cai left, but he was very tragic, he didn't go long, and when he was about to reach the battlefield, he was scattered by the Tang army that killed from another direction.

Now, Zhang Yu and his troops surrounded several Cao camps, and began to divide their troops and horses to control the other armies in the city.

Today's Jingzhou soldiers and horses, except for the soldiers and horses guarding the palace around, are either scattered or surrendered.

Of course, there were many soldiers and horses guarding the warehouse, and Zhang Yu didn't arrange for anyone to move them.

Hundreds of them are scattered everywhere, and there are more than a thousand of them, and these people can help him guard the warehouse well.

In the palace, Cai Mao waited left and right, but still did not wait for news.

After Commander Cai went out, it was no longer possible to come back.

After his army was scattered, he fled back with dozens of men, but they were stopped after passing through the blocked streets.

"You, you are fakes." Commander Cai said in surprise.

Unfortunately, he understood too late, hundreds of people rushed up to chop them up, and then dragged the bodies away, wiping the blood on the ground dry.

On this night, the city was surrounded by shouts of killing, and everyone hid in their homes and shivered, which was terrible.
