The arrows in the sky struck, Xiangyang was defenseless, and when he left the city, he did not carry defensive equipment, and was shot by the Jingzhou army, and immediately suffered heavy casualties and chaos.

"There is an ambush in the Jingzhou army, retreat quickly!"

"What about General Lin Xiao?"

"Where has General Lin gone!"

"The Jingzhou army in the back is surrounding, and we are blocked!"

Soon, the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang City discovered two serious problems.

The first is that Lin Xiao is gone!

Second, the front road was blocked by Guan Yu, and the Jingzhou army behind had gathered to surround their back road.

The whereabouts of the main general are unknown, there is no way forward, the way back is blocked, and the mountains and forests on both sides are the archers of the Jingzhou army, and the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang have fallen into a dead end!

Zhuge Liang stood on the high slope, and the feather fan pointed to the Xiangyang soldiers and horses that were blocked on the road below, and shouted in a deep voice: "You are all the old department of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and it is really helpless to surrender to Cao Biao, and now my lord Liu Bei is the pastor of Jingzhou, and your old lord Liu Biao is the same brother." If you resist stubbornly, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"Those who descend will not be killed, and those who descend will not be killed!"

The Jingzhou army also shouted in unison.

In the face of these Xiangyang soldiers and horses, Zhuge Liang chose to persuade him to surrender and did not kill.

First, if it is killed, these Xiangyang soldiers and horses will definitely choose to break through, and the Jingzhou army will inevitably be killed and wounded.

Second, these Xiangyang soldiers and horses were originally natives of Jingzhou, because the northerners were not accustomed to the water and soil in the south, so the soldiers and horses guarding Jingzhou were all trained by Liu Biao's old department back then, plus the people recruited from Jingzhou in recent years.

These soldiers and horses can be persuaded to surrender, after taking Xiangyang, it belongs to Liu Bei, if you are not at ease, together with your family, just move to the interior of Jiangling or Jingnan, don't worry about their rebellion.

Four thousand soldiers and horses, but a lot of force, now Liu Bei has a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, these four thousand people are already one-twenty-fifth of Liu Bei's strength.

The number of people seems to be small, but the soldiers and horses are accumulated little by little.

You must know that in the Shu Han in history, there were only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and if there were 4,000 casualties, it would be considered a big defeat, and it could reach the level that every household had to wear linen and filial piety. At that time, if you don't say 4,000 people, you will have 400 people, and 40 people must be carefully calculated, use troops carefully, and minimize casualties if they can minimize casualties.

Zhuge Liang is a shrewd person, so in the face of these soldiers and horses, he chose to persuade him to surrender.

At present, the Wei State has not been established, and it is only a situation of disputes among the princes, although Liu Bei and Cao Cao have a deep hatred, but it is only at the personal level, and it does not involve the people, the people between the two places, the soldiers and horses, have not been fighting all year round, and they have accumulated too much hatred.

Moreover, these Xiangyang defenders are natives of Jingzhou, and after surrendering, they can still be reunited with their families.

Therefore, these Xiangyang defenders, in the face of Zhuge Liang's persuasion, chose to put down their weapons.

Only some of Cao Ren's henchmen and colonels, as well as the tiger and leopard cavalry, would rather die than surrender, launched a suicidal attack on the Jingzhou army, and the outcome naturally went without saying, and it didn't take long for them to be annihilated by the Jingzhou army.

After annihilating the soldiers who resisted stubbornly and were unwilling to surrender, Zhuge Liang ordered: "Xiang Pet Gao Xiang, you two will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to bring the surrendered troops to Yicheng, and Yun Chang will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to Xiangyang with me!" ”

said that Lin Xiao got rid of the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang as early as in the chaos of the unknown sky and ran to Xiangyang.

When Zhuge Liang led his troops to surround the defenders of Xiangyang, Lin Xiao had already arrived near Xiangyang City alone.

Lin Xiao came back to deceive Xiangyang City!

Although the defenders of Xiangyang City dispatched 4,000 people, there were still a lot of soldiers and horses left behind, and among the remaining 1,000 people, 500 people went to guard the ferry, and the remaining 500 people were responsible for the defense of the city.

Although Zhuge Liang sent 2,000 soldiers and horses to capture Xiangyang, it was not so easy to capture, so Zhuge Liang sent Lin Xiao in advance and asked him to return to Xiangyang in advance to help Fu Wei and other generals capture Xiangyang.

On the way, Lin Xiao met Fu Wei and other generals.

Lin Xiao said to everyone: "I'll go to open the city gate first, and then General Fu Wei will lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to kill in, and the rest of the generals will go directly to seize the other three gates, so as to prevent the thieves in the city from escaping from the other three gates with the young master!" ”

This time, Cao Pi took Xun Yu south for treatment, if Cao Pi escaped, he would definitely take Xun Yu with him, and Liu Chan and Zhang Zhongjing would also be taken away, so Lin Xiao told him like this.

"Good!" The generals nodded in agreement.

Lin Xiao took an arrow from the quiver, stuck it on his shoulder through the armor, and took off the water bag on the horse, which contained blood, and put the blood on his shoulder, and suddenly the shoulder socket was red.

"Come two soldiers and come with me!" As soon as Lin Xiao beckoned, two cavalrymen in the armor of the Xiangyang defenders in Fu Wei's army followed Lin Xiao.

But after a while, the three of them came to Xiangyang City.

At this moment, the sky is not yet bright, and only vaguely visible.

Cao Pi and Lu Chang stood at the head of the city, looking at the hazy land in front of them, and the sound of shouting and killing from the south was faintly heard, and Cao Pi could be said to be complacent at the moment.

Cao Pi clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of excitement: "If this battle is loud, the position of the son of the world is mine!" ”

At this time, Lin Xiao led two cavalry to the head of the city.

The vision was a little blurry, and the soldiers at the head of the city couldn't see Lin Xiao clearly, and shouted: "Who is the person under the city?" ”

"It's me Lin Xiao!" Lin Xiao's slightly weak voice sounded.

When Cao Pi heard that it was Lin Xiao, he hurriedly asked, "Zhonghu, why did you come back?" ”

One of the soldiers who followed Lin Xiao said: "Childe, General Lin was accidentally hit by a stray arrow and was seriously injured, and General Xiahou ordered us to escort him back for treatment. Zhuge Liang of the Jingzhou army has been captured, and General Xiahou led his troops to kill Benyicheng, and the victory has been decided! ”

"Great, open the gates!" Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city, as for Lin Xiao's injury, Cao Pi did not suspect that the stray arrow does not have eyes, and in the brave general, if you are unlucky, you may be shot to death.

For example, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Pang Tong during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu, Zhang Ji, Li Siye, the fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, and others, all died indirectly because of the arrow.

"Go back to the house and find Doctor Zhang!" Cao Pi ordered the soldiers to return to the house, and went down to the city to greet Lin Xiao.

The city gate opened, Lin Xiao entered the city, and Cao Pi also went down to the city.

"Zhonghu, how is the injury?" Cao Pi walked up to Lin Xiao and asked with a concerned expression.

"I'm fine!" Lin Xiao shouted, suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed Cao Pi on the ground, put him on the horse, pressed Cao Pi in one hand, held a gun in the other, blocked the city gate that had been opened, and looked at the defenders around him with a wary expression.

"Lin Xiao, you are really a spy!" Facing Lin Xiao, who suddenly became a killer, where did Cao Pi still not understand the reason? I couldn't help but scold.
