Chapter 556 Siege of Xiangyang Liu Bei suddenly raised his head and looked in the southeast direction, and sure enough, he saw a snow shadow rolling in the wind.
Liu Bei's face changed greatly: "White Horse Yicong" Zhuge Liang sighed: "Our Dao thief army has been fighting to the death for an hour and has not retreated, why don't you see any trace of its building ship, it turns out that it took advantage of the fact that all the land forces of our army were at this ferry, and actually landed at a small ferry a few miles away, a mistake, a mistake."
In fact, it's no wonder Zhuge Liang, who would have thought that Gongsun Bai would personally guard here, it was just a trick to lure the enemy, with the body of the Ninety-Five Supreme, as a bait to lure the enemy, how many people can be in ancient and modern China and abroad Liu Bei looked at the shadow of the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Six building ships only transport 15,000 troops, the thief cavalry has one person and two horses, six warships can only transport 5,000 troops at most, I have an army of 100,000, why do you want to retreat?"
Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly: "Although the thief army in front has been defeated, if it closes its formation, it will be no problem to hold on for another hour or two, and our army may be attacked and killed by Bai Ma Yicong by taking advantage of the horse's fast crossbow strength, within one or two hours, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will die under the crossbow arrows of Bai Ma Yicong, and then the second batch of cavalry will be killed one after another, then our army will be even more difficult to resist, so even if the more than 10,000 Yan troops are killed, it will be more than worth the loss."
Sun Gan on the side asked unconvinced: "If you can kill the Yan thief Gongsun Bai in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better than killing millions of male soldiers?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Yan thief Gongsun Bai is strong in martial arts, and he has sweat and blood, if you want to break through, it is easy to break through, not to mention that if Gongsun Bai is really in trouble, Bai Ma Yi can completely rush to rescue him." ” Liu Bei asked helplessly: "The military advisor has always been full of wisdom, why is he so pessimistic and negative now?"
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Cai Mao is incompetent, the 50,000 Jingzhou naval army was actually defeated by the Yan thief Xinjian naval army, and the Hanshui moat was lost in vain, the Yan thief is the king of the field, the strength dictates, and Liang is helpless."
What's more, the lord can take a look, the army is 100,000, except for the lord's descendants and soldiers and horses are fighting to the death, the rest are just pretending, and the lower officials are worried that the lord's soldiers and horses are exhausted in this battle, not only can they not resist Gongsun Bai, but even after entering the city, they have worries about their lives."
Liu Bei raised his eyes and saw that on the periphery of the semi-circular formation, the soldiers and horses led by Guan and Zhang were all fighting to the death, and the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City were obviously timid and unable to work because they were originally under the command of Cai Mao.
As Zhuge Liang said, if he really fought out a group of cronies, after entering the city, I am afraid that Cai Mao will attack him.
While he was talking, Bai Mayi came from the wind, already two or three miles away, and Liu Bei no longer hesitated at the moment: "Blow the trumpet, quickly withdraw the troops" Woooooooo The horn sounded, and the Jingzhou army threw down thousands of corpses and blood all over the ground, retreating in the direction of Xiangyang like a tide, and by the time Zhao Yun led Bai Ma Yi to kill, the enemy army had retreated more than a mile away.
Hehehe All the soldiers were panting one by one, and their bodies were covered in blood, and they couldn't help but rejoice when they saw that the enemy had finally withdrawn.
Zhao Yun hurriedly flew to Gongsun Bai and said urgently: "The last general is too late to save the car, and the crime deserves death."
Gongsun Bai laughed, turned over and dismounted to help him up.
Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "The enemy army can't retreat far, it's better to let the last general chase and kill for a while" Gongsun Bai said with a smile: "Okay, the rear army is full of Liu Bei's cronies, you can attack and kill with a bow and crossbow, and then rush to kill for a while, but you can't chase away." ” "Whoa" After Zhao Yun agreed, he hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, leading the white horses to chase after him.
Under the remnant sun, the killing resumed. in the sky.
Countless crows gathered and swirled, chirping endlessly.
It seems to be urging the humans below to hurry away. so that they can enjoy the feast to the fullest.
In this pursuit battle, 5,000 white horses were shot in the back with a crossbow with a divine arm, and then covered up in the back, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei tried their best to resist after being broken, after all, they killed more than 2,000 people before they retreated.
When night fell, Liu Bei finally fled back to Xiangyang.
What came back with Liu Bei was the bad news of a big defeat.
The entire Xiangyang City fell into a panic in the blink of an eye.
Those people of Xiangyang, who were accustomed to peace, never imagined that one day they would be so close to the war.
Gongsun Bai, who won a great victory, did not continue the pursuit, but gathered soldiers and horses to cross the river on the south bank of the Han River.
Finally, at noon the next day, the 250,000 troops all gathered on the south bank of the Han River, and the black pressure crowded the entire riverside, stretching for more than ten miles.
Gongsun Bai's first target was not Xiangyang City, but the dry village and water village of the Jingzhou Navy in the north of Xiangyang.
The 250,000 troops, like the wind and clouds, went all the way up the river, demolishing and burning the dry villages and water villages along the coast, and for a time the south bank of the Han River was full of fire, thick smoke was billowing, and the fire became more and more intense by the river wind.
On the river, the Tengjiao army became more and more courageous, and the Jingzhou naval army became more and more demoralized, and the victory or defeat of the two sides was determined early, but for several days, the Jingzhou naval army has been hiding in the water village, relying on the defensive position of the water village and the dry village, and resisted stubbornly.
Now the more than 200,000 troops of the Yan army have almost swept away the dry villages and water villages along the coast in half a day, making the Jingzhou naval army completely lose its support.
And the Tengjiao army on the river, under the leadership of Gan Ning, launched a fierce attack on the Jingzhou army on the Han River, wanting to complete the battle.
In the panic, Cai Mao ordered Zhang Yun and Wen Ping to lead the rout of the Jingzhou Navy and fled in a hurry to the lower reaches of the Han River.
And Cai Mao himself retreated into Xiangyang City in a hurry under the escort of Wei Yan and a group of personal soldiers.
For Cai Mao, the navy can be defeated, but he can't leave Xiangyang City, and now Liu Biao is critically ill, once Cai's power is lost, he will die without a place to be buried.
Before dusk, Gongsun Bai finally saw Xiangyang City.
This seat of Jingzhou stands majestically on the bank of the Han River, and the towering and long city wall highlights its status as the core of Jingzhou.
"This is the legendary Xiangyang City, it is really extraordinary, Liu Biao, thank you for spending so much time to help my Gongsun Bai build such a feng shui treasure city" Gongsun Bai Wangcheng sighed, and in his mind, those memories about Xiangyang turned over one by one.
In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, Xiangyang City was like a nail inserted by Wei under the nose of Wu, so that even if Wu defeated Guan Yu and seized Jiangling and other important places, it was still difficult day and night.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army was blocked in Xiangyang for decades, and the last battle lasted for six years.
Gongsun Bai knows how important Xiangyang City is, and now, this legendary city is only a stone's throw away from Gongsun Bai.
On the same day, Gongsun Bai gathered an army of 250,000 and completed the encirclement of Xiangyang from three directions, north and west.
At Xu Shu's suggestion, Gongsun Bai specially left the south gate unsurrounded.
The soldiers and civilians of Xiangyang City were panicked, and most of them were thinking about fleeing south, and once Gongsun Bai surrounded him on all sides, it would prompt the enemy to defend the city to the death.
There are still 10,000 troops in the city, if the enemy defends it, it is not easy to take Xiangyang, a strong city in the world, even if it is captured, its own army will pay a heavy price, which Gongsun Bai does not want to see.
Leaving a gate is equivalent to leaving a way out for the people of Xiangyang, giving them one more choice to abandon the city and flee.
Xiangyang City.

In the hall of the hall of the hundred officials, there was a dead silence.
Liu Biao, who described the withered Liu, sat there weakly, his old face was as pale as ashes, if it weren't for the support of the eunuch beside him, I am afraid that he would have been unstable on his feet.
In those eyes, resentment, disappointment, horror, and all kinds of complicated expressions flickered.
The martial arts officials below the ranks, those celebrities who were usually talking loudly, seemed to be dumb at this time, silent, and did not even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.
He turned his head to look at Cai Mao, but saw that Cai Mao was completely languished like a dead dog, hanging his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
He looked at Liu Bei with hope, but after seeing Liu Bei's gaze touching him, he hurriedly dodged away, and unconsciously became more and more angry.
The reason why he kept Liu Bei, and even repeatedly favored Liu Bei in the dispute between Cai Mao and Liu Bei, was nothing more than to let his Wen Taowu be used for his own use, but he didn't expect that this son would not only be defeated, but also helpless.
Liu Biao glanced around at his subordinates, and said weakly: "The 250,000 army of Yan thieves is besieging the city, and the water army has also been defeated, so you can have a way to deal with it." ” In response, Liu Biao was silent.
In today's crisis situation, no one dares to squeak at this time among those celebrities who are good at talking.
The more Liu Biao looked at it, the more angry he became, and said sharply: "I have raised you for so many years, and now my Han is in great danger.
Why are you all dumb, talking?"
Liu Biao, who has always liked Yangshi, was extremely disappointed at this time.
Only then did I really realize that all I was raising was a bunch of waste.
"Your Majesty, the elite of our army is in mourning.
Even the naval army has been defeated, and now the army is besieging the city, and it is really difficult to defend Xiangyang.
What's more, the Yan army swept through the ten states in the north, and even the Xianbei and Xiongnu were destroyed.
Someone finally spoke, and it was Han Song of the Jingzhou Shi clan who spoke, he only said half a sentence, but he never dared to continue.
Liu Biao said angrily: "What's not the case?"
"Since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains have won the world, and the general trend of the world has been decided.
Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, sitting on the land of four states, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and sat on the land of the five states of the Central Plains, all of which were easily defeated by Gongsun Bai.
Now that Xiangyang City has become a lonely city again, what can I do to fight against Gongsun Bai, but if I open the city and surrender, so as not to suffer from the war in this Jingxiang land, it will be a great achievement."
Everyone was in an uproar and looked up, but they could see that it was Wang Cang, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, who was a famous man in Jingzhou and one of the seven sons of Jian'an, who was the Taichang of the Southern Han Dynasty at that time.
Liu Biao pointed at him, so angry that his whole body trembled, and he almost didn't come up in one breath, and it took a long time to calm down a little: "Come on, pull it down and cut it."
As soon as the words fell, several wolf-like tigers immediately rushed up, twisted Wang Cang, and were about to push him out and kill him.
Hahaha But seeing Wang Cang raise his head and burst into laughter, after laughing, his face was indifferent, and he turned back to Liu Biao and said loudly: "Since ancient times, although Wang knew that he would die if he broke taboo, he still risked death to speak out, which was really self-defeating, but he had a clear conscience."
At that moment, a miracle appeared, Liu Biao was intimidated by his momentum, and he had always admired his talent, waved his hand and withdrew his will: "That's it, expel this madman from the palace, and he will not be allowed to enter." ” Zhuge Liang on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "It's an eye-opener that the seller can still sell so dignified and justifiable."
However, Zhuge Liang's expression was just captured by Liu Biao, and he only listened to the palace and asked: "Zhuge Shangshu, I don't know what to think."
Zhuge Liang was a military advisor in Liu Bei's army, but Liu Biaomu was named Mr.
Wolong and worshiped him as a scholar.
But seeing Zhuge Liang walked to the middle of the lobby unhurriedly, he smiled slightly: "Xiangyang City has thick walls, nearly 100,000 defenders, tens of millions of grain and grass, more than one million arrows, and swords and halberds, even if it is guarded for two or three years, it is not a problem, why should Your Majesty be alarmed that Your Majesty will be able to defend it for two or three years, his Gongsun Bai will come out of the nest, and it will take two or three years Once it has been trapped in Xiangyang for a long time, Jiangdong Sun Ce is afraid that Jingzhou will be lost, and Gongsun Bai will turn to attack Jiangdong, and he will fight to the death from Yangzhou to attack the Central Plains” Zhuge Liang was right, since Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone seventeen years ago, although the land of Jingxiang has been in constant friction with the Sun clan in Jiangdong, the war has caused little damage to its production order.
In the past seventeen years, under the governance of Liu Biao, the land of Jingxiang has also become a rich land, and the grain, grass and arrows in the warehouse are piled up, and it is indeed not a problem to keep it for a few years.
It was a word that woke up the person in the dream, and Liu Biao, who was originally sick, seemed to have come to his senses, and immediately laughed loudly: "Mr.
Wolong, it really deserves its name" After Liu Biao finished speaking, he immediately issued an order, ordering Liu Bei and Guan Yu to lead the army to hold the east gate, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei to lead the army to hold on, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang to stick to the north gate, Wei Yan and Kuai Yue, to stick to the south gate, and after the four gate guards were distributed, they gave the order to retreat.
