At first, the rebels were known as 200,000 troops, and when Yanghu commanded 100,000 troops to go south to crusade, many people were not optimistic about Yanghu, thinking that the disparity between the forces of the enemy and us was huge, and if the Jin army took a defensive position, it could barely maintain, but if it attacked, it was difficult to have a chance.

But in just one month, Yanghu defeated the rebels twice in the Battle of Xinye and the Battle of Hanshui, as the number of rebels fleeing more and more, the strength of both sides has undergone subversive changes, the number of Yanghu's army continues to increase, the number of rebels in Zhonghui is constantly decreasing, and the Jin army has occupied an obvious advantage in strength.

Not only in terms of military superiority, but also in morale and fighting spirit, the Jin army is obviously much higher, on the other hand, the rebels are demoralized, their fighting spirit is sluggish, and the morale of the army is scattered, and the balance of victory has undoubtedly tilted towards the Jin army.

Yanghu Prancing Horse stands on the bank of the Hanshui River, is urging the Jin army to cross the river, if the hundreds of thousands of troops are all completed to cross the river, at least a few days, Yanghu is waiting for the Jin army to cross the river, ready to launch a general attack on Xiangyang City, completely eliminate the rebels in Xiangyang, and capture the rebel thief Zhonghui.

However, a piece of news just received made Yanghu a little unhappy, Jiang Weibing, the general of Shu State, went out of Hanzhong and took the three counties of Shangyong lightly, and at this moment he is advancing to Xiangyang.

The three counties of Shangyong have always been the land of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but after the rebellion of Zhonghui, like Xiangyang, it was stolen by Zhonghui.

Yanghu's suppression of the rebellion this time is naturally to include the three counties of Shangyong in the scope of recovery, but this is obviously the next goal, and Yanghu's main target is still in Xiangyang.

But he didn't expect Jiang Wei to take advantage of the situation and take down the three counties of Shangyong in one fell swoop, and Yanghu didn't know that Zhong Hui had made a deal with Jiang Wei in private, and gave up the three counties of Shangyong.

Jiang Wei's sudden invasion suddenly complicated the situation in Xiangyang, and Yanghu couldn't figure out Jiang Wei's true intentions to go east this time, was he preparing to aid Zhonghui, or was he fishing in troubled waters?

No matter when, Shu is the sworn enemy of the Jin State, since the Shu army is already a soldier in Fangling, Yanghu naturally can not be indifferent, he immediately sent Du to lead an army to Shandu, to block the Shu army, and at the same time ordered the Jin army to speed up the river crossing operation, and strive to complete the river crossing within one to two days, ready to storm Xiangyang.

Since Yanghu doesn't know Jiang Wei's true intentions, he can't take it lightly, if Jiang Wei really came to aid Zhonghui, then there will be variables in the battle of Xiangyang, Yanghu doesn't want this to affect his counterinsurgency plan, he must take Xiangyang City before Jiang Wei's army reaches Xiangyang.

Originally, his plan was to first take Xiangyang, attack Zhonghui, and then sweep the three counties of Shangyong, and recover all the lost territory, as long as Zhonghui died, the land of the three counties of Shangyong would become a borderless land, and Yanghu could recover it in a very easy way.

But now the invasion of the Shu army has made it difficult for the Jin army to recover all the territory of Jingzhou, and the loss of the three counties of Shangyong has made the Jin state almost no danger in the Xiangwan area, even if Xiangyang is recaptured, the situation will not be optimistic.

Under the strict urging of Yanghu, the rhythm of the Jin army's crossing of the river was significantly accelerated, and the entire Han River was brightly lit at night, shining like day, and the Jin army and horses were flowing endlessly, rushing to cross the river overnight, and it took only a day and a half to complete the successful crossing of more than 100,000 troops.

After completing the river crossing, Yanghu immediately ordered an attack on Xiangyang City.

The main reason why the Jin army crossed the river for many days was that those large siege equipment moved slowly, and it was really difficult to transport the large equipment such as catapults, siege vehicles, nest cars, city breakers, rushing vehicles, ladders, bed crossbows, etc., especially when crossing the river, which seriously affected the actions of the entire army.

But if these equipment and equipment are not in place, the siege is an empty word, so the light infantry of the Jin army completed the crossing of the river early in the morning, but it can only besiege Xiangyang City without attacking, only after these heavy equipment are in place, the siege of the Jin army will be officially launched.

Xiangyang City faces the water on three sides, only the terrain in the west of the city is flat, the use of attack, the direction of the Jin army's attack is naturally concentrated on this road, the siege action of the 100,000 army, the momentum is extremely huge, from the head of the city of Xiangyang, the Jin army and horses, all over the mountains, endless, dense, layered, like a white ocean, with an unstoppable torrent, rushed towards Xiangyang City.

The boulders roared, the crossbow arrows flew sideways, and the first to attack were the Jin army's catapults and bed crossbows, and the boulders were thrown into the air by the catapults and smashed into the city walls of Xiangyang.

When each boulder hits the city wall, the seemingly thick city wall shakes amazingly, and the dust and brick chips fly all over the wall, showing the serious damage caused by the catapult.

The bed crossbow also began to fire huge crossbow arrows, sharp arrows with powerful strength, buried deep into the city walls, leaving only a short tail of arrows to remain.

The shooting of bed crossbows is regular, and the crossbow arrows are nailed into the wall, forming an upward slope to facilitate the stamping of the besieging infantry, and these crossbow arrows have a name, called "pedal arrows", and the besieging infantry can step on these crossbow arrows and climb the city wall.

After countless catapults and bed crossbows attacked first, the siege force of the Jin army officially appeared, under the cover of archers, the Jin infantry pushed the rushing carts, the city breakers, the siege vehicles, the nest cars, the ladders, etc., slowly pressed towards Xiangyang City.

The damage caused by catapults and bed crossbows to the city wall of Xiangyang is shocking, but the solidity of Xiangyang City is also undoubted, although there is damage, but it is not fatal, the Jin army wants to conquer Xiangyang City, it must give full play to the power of the siege infantry, so as to really take Xiangyang City.
