Although Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion soldiers broke through all the way to the northern city area of Fenglin Pass, they were finally blocked by the second temporary defense line in the city and the northern city wall constructed by Liu Biao's defenders.

The various siege equipment on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion were blocked by the houses and obstacles in Fenglin Pass, and they could not be transported for a while, so in the face of the three-dimensional defense structure on the north wall of Fenglin Pass, coupled with the blocking of fire oil and flames, it was indeed impossible to attack only by relying on the shield array constructed by the sword and shield hand.

After a while, the sky was also a little dark, and Tai Shi Ci heard the battle situation in front of him, so he simply ordered the troops to stop, let people hold the Fenglin Pass area that they were occupying now, and stopped today's offensive.

In this way, the day's offensive ended with the Divine Arrow Battalion attacking most of the area in Fenglin Pass.

Previously, Bao Long led the troops on the Guanyin Pavilion to pretend to rush to the north slope for a while, but under the feather arrows of the Liu Biao defenders who built a defensive line at the bottom of the mountain, they also failed to get any results.

That night, Tai Shi Ci sent 4,000 soldiers and horses to the area that had been captured in Fenglin Pass, and then moved the temporary camp behind it to the south gate of Fenglin Pass.

Then Tai Shici arranged for auxiliary troops to clean up the blocked streets and buildings in Fenglin Pass overnight, preparing to transport all kinds of siege equipment to the battlefield in front the next day, and once again exert a suppressive offensive against Liu Biao's defenders.

Of course, the soldiers on the Guanyin Pavilion also monitored the movements of Liu Biao's defenders, and they could know in time whether Liu Biao's defenders were retreating or attacking.

As for the side of Da Shou Mountain, Tai Shi Ci still mainly blocked at the bottom of the mountain, just to prevent Liu Biao's defenders from sneaking up on his military camp through Da Shou Mountain, which was enough, but he did not waste more troops to do anything in Da Shou Mountain.

Then Tai Shi Ci arranged for the soldiers of the main battle tomorrow to have a good rest, and after preparing to recuperate overnight, he would strive to completely defeat Fenglin Pass tomorrow and open a direct passage to the south of Xiangyang City.

And while Tai Shi Ci's side was steadily arranged, Liu Biao's garrison general, who was responsible for guarding Fenglin Pass, was continuously informing Xiangyang City of the situation of Fenglin Pass, and he was really not sure that he would be able to block the attack of Tai Shi Ci's Divine Arrow Battalion tomorrow.

Through today's battle, General Liu Biao, who was responsible for guarding Fenglin Pass, also saw that if there was no protection of the city wall, the defenders under him would not be the opponent of the soldiers of the Taishi Cishen Arrow Battalion at all.

So he sent a letter to Xiangyang City overnight, hoping to ask Liu Biao for a reply, whether he could return to Xiangyang City when he couldn't stop it, otherwise these soldiers and young men he brought with him would probably be defeated by Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion.

Fortunately, Liu Biao could understand the general's worries, so he also replied to him that night, and he retreated to Xiangyang City if he couldn't stop it, and now Liu Biao is also unwilling to easily lose troops outside.

And so the night passed, and a new day, a new battle, began again.

With the help of the auxiliary soldiers' efforts overnight, the Divine Arrow Battalion finally dug a passage between the south gate and the north gate of Fenglin Pass, so that the follow-up siege equipment could be sent to the front line little by little.

In this way, with the high-rise rushing arrow platform as the forerunner, and the sword and shield hands of the surrounding arrow battalion as the screen wings, it slowly approached in the direction of the north city wall of Fenglin Pass.

The defense line on the north wall of Fenglin Pass naturally lost its original geographical advantage, and the archers could directly shoot the Liu Biao defenders behind the simple defense line in front of them with nowhere to hide, so they could only retreat to the north city wall behind.

But the Liu Biao defenders on the north wall of Fenglin Pass also do not have many condescending advantages, and the height of the city wall is not as high as this kind of high-rise rushing car archery platform.

Therefore, even the defenders of Liu Biao on the city wall were dodged and dodged by these archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion located on the arrow platform of the high-rise building, and they could not exert the power of defense at all.

In this way, the sword and shield men of the Divine Arrow Battalion took the opportunity to rush to the first simple line of defense, and the Liu Biao soldiers who were defending here could no longer throw the oil tank as safely as before, and used flames to block the advance of the sword and shield men of the Divine Arrow Battalion.

Therefore, the sword and shield men on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion quickly broke through this line of defense, and then rushed up to the north wall of Fenglin Pass, and followed the steps of the upper city wall step by step, beating Liu Biao's defenders back again and again.

And the archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion on the high-rise rushing platform in front continued to help the companions who rushed in front to suppress the defenders of Liu Biao on the city wall, so that under the cover of bows and arrows, the sword and shield men of the Divine Arrow Battalion did not take long to rush to the north city wall of Fenglin Pass.

The defenders of Liu Biao on the city wall also had nowhere to escape at this moment, and many people either jumped directly from the city wall, or put down their weapons and surrendered, so Fenglin Pass was completely taken.

In the end, there were six or seven hundred Liu Biao soldiers and more than 1,000 young and strong people who were blocked on the city wall and surrendered, and the Liu Biao defenders who were originally stationed outside the north gate of Fenglin Pass lost the advantage of the city wall of Fenglin Pass, and did not dare to continue to stay here, and soon retreated to Xiangyang City together with the soldiers on Dashou Mountain.

Tai Shi Ci sent people to chase and kill for a while, before collecting troops and coming back, after which the army was rectified on the side of Fenglin Pass, and sent scouts to turn around in the direction of Xiangyang City to check the protection of Xiangyang City.

Soon, through the scouts sent to probe the news, Tai Shici knew that Liu Biao had built another rammed earth defense line in front of the moat outside the south gate of Xiangyang City, and there seemed to be some fishing net-like barriers above these defense lines, which should be specifically aimed at Zhu Wei's mobile high-rise rushing car archery platform.

Liu Biao has obviously found a means to deal with this kind of siege equipment, but it is similar to the method used by Zhu Wei when he was in Yuzhang City, which belongs to the means of defending the city and defending against arrows.

In this way, the difficulty of attacking Xiangyang City seems to have increased a few points, and Tai Shi Ci also frowned when he knew the news.

Now he is tantamount to attacking Xiangyang City alone with the 10,000 troops of his Divine Arrow Battalion, although Zhu Wei also left him 5,000 auxiliary soldiers and a lot of siege equipment, but Tai Shici does not have Zhu Wei's consciousness of later generations after all, and he really has little to do in the face of Xiangyang City with tall walls, especially Xiangyang City, which has now added new defensive strength.

Facing the defensive line of Xiangyang City, the first thing Tai Shici had to break through was the rammed earth outer fortress that had just been built outside Xiangyang City, which was about more than three meters high, and then the moat with a width of more than 100 steps inside the outer fortress, and finally the tall Xiangyang city wall.

In other words, even if Tai Shici captured the rammed earth outer ramparts, the cave house car that attacked the city and filled the moat could not immediately rush to the moat.

Even if the rammed earth ramparts were dug up to start filling in the moat, there was a chance that the soldiers rushing out of Xiangyang City would destroy the cave houses and other siege equipment.

Because the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City could use that rammed earth outer barrier to block the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side from directly approaching the area of the Xiangyang city wall, so that they would dare to rush out and destroy these siege equipment.

Especially those cave house cars that passed through the rammed earth outer ram to fill the moat, it may also be because of the existence of the rammed earth outer ram, it is difficult for the soldiers on Zhu Wei's side to come up in time to protect these cave house cars that fill the moat.

Obviously, after Liu Biao returned to Xiangyang City this time, he really brainstormed and found some ways to defend the city, which greatly enhanced the defensive strength of Xiangyang City......
