More than 20,000 cavalrymen of the two divisions of the Wu army dismounted and rested in this small ravine, and one by one the soldiers dismounted to rest, and the commanders of the two cavalry divisions soon appeared in front of Zhao Yun.
Under the light of the torch of "He Tang", Zhao Yun's eyes glanced at the relatively stable big man in front of him. ， "The last general will be handed over in He Tang".
"Your task is to lead all the soldiers of the Third Southern Division, go around to the west city gate, and then attack the city with cavalry, remember to play with momentum and suppress the defenders in the city" Zhao Yundao.
"General, use cavalry to attack the city, the casualties are too great" He Tang couldn't help frowning a little when he heard this.
Since ancient times, cavalry sieges, regardless of success or failure, casualties have been heavy.
"I know" Zhao Yun sighed and said in a deep voice: "But if we don't invest in cavalry, we can't let the guards in the city relax, so even if we pay a price, we have to do it."
If the strength of his cavalry division does not appear, the city will never be able to relax, and his plan will not be implemented.
The cavalry siege was helpless, but it had to be done.
"The Last Will Understand" He Tang is a general of the Southern Army, a fierce general under Huang Gai in the past, with a stable personality and a long-term battle-hardened personality.
"Remember, you must be a strong attack, according to the news of Jinyiwei, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in the West City Gate" Zhao Yun reminded: "Take the West City Gate, your troops are insufficient, but if you overwhelm them, you will definitely be able to do it" Only when the troops in the city are overwhelmed, when reinforcements appear, they don't think much about it.
"The general is assured, the last general will guarantee the completion of the task" He Tang nodded firmly.
"General, what about my mission?"
Chang Zheng took a step forward and asked hopefully.
"Your task is also my task, in this battle, I will personally lead the second division of the mad lion to fight" Zhao Yun raised his head and looked at the starry sky. looked decisive: "So far, I won't hide it from you, my plan is actually very simple, the first step."
Send troops to attack the city, suppress the troops in the city, and the second step is to take Zhang Hehui's 5,000 vanguard army to support Shangyong, and then use this number to open the city gate."
The next day.
The sun rose, the battle of Shangyong City also began to fight fiercely, today's battle is more fierce than yesterday for three points, the drums of the east city gate are waves, loud and loud, but the sound of horses' hooves at the west city gate also makes the entire Shangyong City shake for three points.
Yang Bai, the general at the head of the city, looked down at the outside of the city, and his eyes were a little cold: "They are really here" Seeing the appearance of this group of cavalry, he was not worried, but relieved.
"Fan Li, we are cavalry.
And there are no siege equipment, how can you break through this city" Outside the city, the cavalry officers of Nansan lined up and came with great momentum, and the division commander looked up at this fortified city and asked.
"Division commander, Shangyong City is not a big city originally, it has always lived in Hanzhong, the east city gate is built with thick walls but to defend the enemy in the direction of Jingzhou and Nanyang, and the west city gate is aimed at this Hanzhong mansion.
The walls here are not high, and most importantly, the terrain here is a bit special, as if it were a slope."
Fan Li was the chief of staff of the 3rd Southern Division.
He is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the age of ambition, and his eyes are dead looking at this city, and he thinks of a solution: "We can step on the city" "Tell me about it" He Tang trusted Fan Li very much, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes.
"Commander, as long as we can build the soil and stand.
From here to the head of the city, build a slope of the avenue, and naturally you can directly march with cavalry, and the horses can step on the city wall."
"No, this project is very big" He Tang shook his head: "Don't talk about us, even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will take a month to build a slope that can level the city wall" "Division commander, in fact, it is not a very big project, we don't need to build along the city wall at all, as long as we build a wide road, allow certain soldiers and horses to kill it, open the gap, and 10,000 soldiers can complete it in one day."
"You can't get in that way."
He Tang still shook his head.
Fan Li smiled and said, "Division commander, don't forget, the general's order is that we only need to suppress the defenders in the city, and not directly break through the city wall.
"That's right."
When He Tang heard this, he immediately understood, nodded, and then jumped off the horse and gave an order: "All soldiers, immediately dismount and prepare to dig and build roads."
"No" The tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers were very energetic, and it took half a day to appear outside the city a slope of not very wide leading to the city.
"What are they doing?"
"Do They Want to Build a City?"
“” The soldiers in the city didn't understand the movements of the Wu army outside the city, and some couldn't help but laugh.
"Damn, they actually attacked the city in this way" Yang Bai understood what the Wu army outside the city had in mind, his eyes were gloomy, and he shouted: "Pass my order, immediately move all the strong crossbows up, and aim them at the mouth of the slope, no matter what, you can't let the horses step on the city, come up and kill one by one."
"Yes" Now these soldiers in the West City Gate are all his Hanzhong soldiers, and they are absolutely obedient to his orders.
"I really didn't expect that the biggest point of Shangyong West City Gate was actually seen through at a glance, building a ramp, and stepping on the city with cavalry horses, good idea" Yang Bai clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes were a little cold, and the corners of his mouth outlined a hint of ridicule: "It's a pity, you don't have enough time, if you give you a month, you really can't prevent you, now it's only less than two days, I want to see how you step on the city."
A day has passed, the third day of the battle has begun, the battle of Shangyongcheng has reached the final moment, and Zhang He, who is still rectifying the soldiers and horses in Xicheng County, also feels a little wrong.
The county government of Xicheng County.
"General Wei Duan, has our vanguard army to support Shangyong set off now?"
asked Zhang He.
"Yes" Wei Duan nodded, his expression was a little indifferent, these 30,000 soldiers and horses were obviously trained by him, but Zhang He became the main general, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"When are you leaving?"

"At noon today, it is expected that at noon tomorrow, we will arrive in Shangyong City" Wei Duan looked at the look on Zhang He's face, and suddenly let go of his careful thoughts, and his eyes became a little solemn: "Shangyong has ordered, the Wu army has begun to attack the city, and we need to send reinforcements as soon as possible." ” "Pass my military order" Zhang He stood up: "All the soldiers of the army, gather immediately, and then set off to Shangyong" "Now?"
"Yes, now" Zhang He said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's too late, Shangyong City won't be ours" "Why" "Because I made the wrong move" Zhang He's eyes moved slightly, and there was a knot in his brows that could not be untied, and he finally underestimated Zhao Yun. t1706231537:
