"Wan Sheng! - Wan Sheng! --Wan Sheng! ”

At the dawn of the Buddha, the battle was completely over, and the more than 7,000 Jiangdong troops who came to sneak attack, except for Gan Ning and Ling Tong who escaped with a few personal soldiers, most of the rest were killed on the battlefield, and a few were taken prisoner, inside and outside the south gate of Xiangyang City - corpses piled up, blood flowed, and the moat was dyed red!

Since the setback of the Eastern Expedition, the Cao army fled all the way, lost all the way, and the morale was extremely low.

"Send someone to tell Da Sima, just say that our army has successfully set up an ambush and annihilated nearly 10,000 horses in Jiangdong...... Let the city prepare more wine and food, and treat the soldiers well! ”

"No"

With the help of several Langzhong, the arrow cluster on Yu Ban's arm was pulled out, fortunately there were two layers of heavy armor protection, but it only hurt the flesh and skin, and there was no major problem after bandaging!

The generals of Cao Ying have been defeated repeatedly, and they retreated in embarrassment, only they succeeded in a battle, and severely frustrated the spirit of the Jiangdong army, what a glorious thing, the only fly in the ointment is that the enemy general was not captured!

If Gan Ning and Ling Tong could be captured alive, put them in a wooden cage prisoner car, and send someone to Da Sima's command, how much face would they have?

And after this battle, Yu Ban admired Xiao Yi even more, almost throwing himself to the ground, Zhou Yu sent people to attack Xiangyang, which can be described as having extraordinary wisdom; Xiao Yi can anticipate the enemy, that is the wisdom of heaven and man!

Prime Minister Cao Cheng is dying of old age, and he is no longer the god and martial arts of the year, and Da Sima is full of blood and blood, it is the time to make meritorious contributions, if he wants to rise step by step, glory and wealth, he must use more thoughts, knowing that there is a hot kang and a cold stove over there!

Next, Cao Jun cleaned the battlefield and buried the corpses, and was busy until dawn, and was about to go back to drink wine and eat meat, and celebrate well, but he didn't want to shout and kill again!

"Kill! --Kill! Kill! ”

In the maple forest outside the city, another group of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, at least tens of thousands of people, rushed to the gate of the city, led by two generals - Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang!

It turned out that after Zhou Yu divided his troops and sent generals, he was worried that Xiangyang City was high and deep, and the defense was strong, and Gan Ning and Ling Tong had too few soldiers and horses, so it was difficult to successfully capture the city, so he sent Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang to lead 15,000 people and set off as the second echelon for support!

I didn't think that Gan Ning and Ling Tong were eager to make meritorious contributions, and the marching speed was exceptionally fast, Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang used their strength to feed, and they didn't catch up with the team in front, and they were just one night late!

By the time they arrived, Gan Ning and Ling Tong had already been defeated and fled, while Cao Jun was cleaning up the battlefield, and his defense was very lax, this was a great fighter!

Therefore, after Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang discussed, they immediately launched an attack, wanting to capture Xiangyang City again, and they also raised more banners and made a large number of men and horses to intimidate the enemy!

"The enemy is coming—the enemy is coming again—and the gates are closing quickly!"

"All departments reorganize their ranks and defend the city gate to the death--kill!"

……………………

Cao Jun fought all night, he was already exhausted, and he had just finished cleaning the battlefield, and he was not prepared at all, and suddenly the slain turned on his back, although he tried his best to resist, but the south gate was quickly lost!

Next, the Jiangdong army was divided into two routes, Pan Zhang led people to guard the city gate, and at the same time cleaned up the remnants of the enemy nearby; Zhou Tai led the main force into Xiangyang City, seized all the key points, and the situation was completely reversed.

"Those who dare to take a step back, this general's sword does not recognize people - kill!"

"Woo! --Woo! ”

Seeing that the situation was dangerous, Yu Ban's eyes were red, and he drew his sword and cut more than a dozen defeated soldiers in a row, only then did he stabilize his position, he was entrusted by Da Sima, if he lost Xiangyang City, he could only apologize with death!

After the initial panic, Cao Jun also stabilized his mind, and the defenders of the other city gates also ran to support, shouting and launching a counter-charge, trying to recapture the city gates!

In this way, the two sides fought together - repeated charges, bloody battles, from dawn to dark, and from midnight to dawn, and the shouts did not stop for a moment......

One side is bound to win, the other side will not retreat, only the corpses killed are piled up like mountains, blood is drifting, and the smoke is billowing in Xiangyang City, but the two sides do not distinguish between victory and defeat!

The Cao army failed to recapture the city gate, and the Jiangdong army did not occupy the whole city, and the two sides were in a stalemate, only suffering the people of Xiangyang City, how many houses were destroyed in the war, how many women and children died, and the crying kept day and night!

……………………………………………………………………

One day, two days, three days passed, and the fighting continued, during which the Jiangdong Army attacked several times and ended in failure, and the Cao Army counterattacked several times, but they were also unsuccessful, and the two sides could only build barricades and conduct small-scale street battles!

At this point, both armies are exhausted, and no one can eat anyone, as for the ownership of Xiangyang City, it depends on which side of the reinforcements arrive first.

If Zhou Yu's army arrives first, he can wipe out the remnants of the defenders, occupy the entire Xiangyang City, and then control the northern part of Jingzhou and seize the initiative in the war!

If Xiao Yi's men and horses arrive first, they can also annihilate the Jiangdong army that entered the city, and then use Xiangyang City as the basis to firmly hold the northern part of Jingzhou - advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended!

"God forbid, let Da Sima arrive early!"

"God forbid, let the Metropolitan Governor take the first step!"

After the soldiers of the two armies fought, they all silently prayed to the sky, hoping that their reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible and wipe out the enemy, and God seemed to be bless the Jiangdong side this time!

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

In the early morning of the fourth day, from the direction of the lower reaches of the Han River, there was a rumbling war drum, and a huge fleet of ships went upstream, only dozens of miles away from Xiangyang!

It turned out that after Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang entered the city, they immediately sent people back to ask for help, Zhou Yu learned of the situation, and ordered the fleet to advance day and night, not hesitating to exhaust the sailors and vomit blood, and traveled more than 200 miles in three days and nights, and finally arrived in Xiangyang City one step ahead of schedule!

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! --Metropolitan Governor Wansheng! ”

Knowing that the reinforcements were approaching Xiangyang and would be able to enter the city in two hours, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, and the soldiers under their command were all ecstatic, and then reorganized the team, ready to launch the final blow!

Cao Jun is like a mourner, the defensive formation is in chaos, and even deserters have appeared, Yu Ban is also full of dead gray, but he is still a little backbone, and he would rather die on the battlefield than abandon the city and run away!

Because even if he escapes, he will not be able to face Da Sima, it is better to die in Xiangyang City and do his last duty as a soldier, so that his wife and children can still get the benefits of the imperial court!

However, the outcome of the battlefield is already difficult to predict, just when people thought that the battle situation was decided and the Jiangdong Army would undoubtedly win, a cavalry suddenly appeared outside the south gate of Xiangyang City!

"Our reinforcements have arrived, go and meet the Grand Governor!"

"Something seems wrong?"

Pan Zhang sat at the south gate of Xiangyang, thinking that the Jiangdong reinforcements were coming, and hurriedly ran out to greet him, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

But after the two sides got closer, they found that something was wrong, it was an elite cavalry, but it did not hit the flag of the Jiangdong Army, but a black banner and black armor, and the men and horses were extremely strong, it was the famous Xuanjia Iron Cavalry!

The two generals at the head are both yellow horses under the crotch, holding a phoenix mouth machete, one is about fifty years old, majestic, and the other is yellow and thin, like a sick ghost, it is Huang Zhong and Huang Xu's father and son!

It turned out that Huang Zhong and his son led 10,000 horses to break through and successfully arrived in Nanyang County, and after repairing for more than ten days, they were ordered to return to Xiangyang City and join the main force!

The result came early, not as good as the coincidence, just at the moment of victory or defeat, the team arrived outside the south gate, and after a little inspection of the battle, the father and son immediately joined the battle......

"The thief will go there, let's fight for three hundred rounds - look at the knife!"

"The sick ghost also dares to speak wildly, see General Ben take your life - kill!"

"Whoosh! --Vile! ”

…………

Huang Xu's face was like a sick ghost, but his divine power was amazing, urging the horse to dance the knife and rush over, Pan Zhang did not show weakness, and also brandished an iron gun to fight, and the two quickly approached......

The distance was seven or eight feet away, Huang Xu suddenly withdrew the big knife, touched his left hand lightly on his waist, and then shook it out violently, instantly raising a large piece of lime powder!

It turns out that Huang Xu has been learning since he followed Xiao Yi, but Deng Ai and Hao Zhao learned Wen Taowu, he learned to be insidious and cunning, and lime powder is one of them!

Lime powder flew all over the sky, and suddenly enveloped Pan Zhang, and the eyes of the people and horses were all confused, and they couldn't see anything......

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Xu immediately slashed Pan Zhang's back of the neck, and Dou Da's head rose into the sky, blood spurted out five or six feet high, and the dead body fell under the fallen horse!

"Badass boy, such a filthy - kill!"

Seeing his son prancing on his horse and cutting down the enemy general, Huang Zhong was not proud at all, but his old face was flushed with shame, he was upright and mighty all his life, and there was no stain on his morals, how could he give birth to such a bad boy?

Is it because he has no way to teach his son, or is it a non-person who trusts him, they all say that he is like gold and jade, and his son follows Da Sima and learns these nonsense?

But no matter what, his son won the battle, and the battlefield was urgent, and he couldn't think about anything, Huang Zhong waved the big knife in his hand and led the troops to rush to the south gate of Xiangyang City......

"Xuanjia Iron Rider - invincible in the world!"

"Xuanjia Iron Rider - invincible in the world!"

The main force of the Jiangdong Army is fighting desperately in the city, and there are not many people left behind to guard the city gate, plus the main general is killed in battle, and the army's morale is in turmoil, so they are even more powerless to resist!

With just a group charge, the Xuanjia army captured the city gate, and then slaughtered into the city - galloping, slashing and killing, shouting battle slogans like a group of Shura demons!

The Jiangdong army fought for three days and three nights, and it was already exhausted, how could it be forbidden to trample on the iron cavalry, the dead and wounded were heavy, and the formation collapsed on the whole line...... Run away for your life, or kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!

At the same time, Yu Ban also gathered the remnants of the rest of the horses, launched a counterattack from the city, and attacked Huang Zhong and his son inside and outside, forming a joint encirclement and recapturing Xiangyang City!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Tai tried to gather some people, put on Cao Jun's clothes (picked up from the corpse), desperately broke through to the east gate, and took advantage of the chaotic situation to really let them run out, but he could bring 15,000 men and horses, all of whom died in the city!
