The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 231 Occupying Jiangxia City

No one was more unlucky than Huang Zu. He had just appeared on the stage, and before he had time to say hello to his opponents outside the city, he was shot in the eye by an arrow from Zhao Yun, and he turned over and fell off the top of the city.

Jiangxia City is an important town in Jingzhou, the top of the city is two or three feet high, if you are seriously injured and fall from the top of the city, how can you survive?

Huang Zu was killed by an arrow, and the Jingzhou army on the top of the city fell into chaos without a leader. Zhao Yun waved his spear in his hand and directed the army to continue to attack the city.

This time, the Jingzhou soldiers in Jiangxia City couldn't resist. Seeing Xuzhou soldiers rushing to the top of the city one by one, more and more troops rushed to Jiangxia City, Jingzhou soldiers collapsed directly, abandoned the city and fled.

Even Zhou Yu did not expect to take down Jiangxia City so cleanly. It only took more than three days from crossing the river to taking down Jiangxia City. This speed is really sensational.

After entering Jiangxia City, Zhou Yu immediately ordered people to go out to calm the people and deploy Jiangxia's defense. Jiangxia is adjacent to the Yangtze River and Huainan County is close at hand. Cai Mao and Wenpin's army may come back at any time and launch a siege against Jiangxia, but they must not be careless. .

If he led an army to attack Xiangyang City, and was hired by Cai Maowen to capture Jiangxia before arriving in Xiangyang, and blocked himself in Jingzhou, it would be really miserable.

"Demou, Gongfu, Jiangxia connects Jingzhou and Huainan County, and it is a battleground for military strategists. If we want to attack the nine counties of Jingxiang, Jiangxia must be under our control, and we must not lose it!"

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Now Cai Mao and Wenpin are in Huainan County, only two or three hundred miles away from Jiangxia. After receiving news that Jiangxia is in a tight spot, Cai Mao and Wenpin will definitely lead the army across the Yangtze River and return to Jiangxia urgently. You two He has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and is familiar with water warfare. He is most suitable for guarding Jiangxia. Guard Jiangxia to the core, and Cai Maowenpin can't take it back!"

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai quickly agreed, and went down to rectify their troops and deploy their defenses.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile, "General Zilong, you and I will lead [-] elite soldiers all the way west to Xiangyang! Let's see if Liu Biao will pee in his pants because of our elite troops!"

After only resting in Jiangxia for a day, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun led the main force to Xiangyang. The distance from Jiangxia to Xiangyang is not close, and it is hundreds of miles away.

However, even if he couldn't come to the city of Xiangyang, Liu Biao is panicked now!

Huang Zu sent his cavalry, day and night, to Xiangyang to seek help from Liu Biao. Rescuing the soldiers was like putting out a fire. How could the messenger dare to delay on the way?In just over three days, they arrived in Xiangyang and met Liu Biao for help.

When Liu Biao got the news, he was frightened out of his wits, and [-] elite soldiers crossed the Yangtze River and directly attacked Jiangxia!

Even if Liu Biao has seen the big world, at this time, he suddenly encountered elite soldiers attacking Jiang Xia, and he was a little panicked. After all, at this time, the main force of his subordinates had all crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jiangdong. The strength of the army is less than 3, and it is distributed in a large area from Guiyang in the south to Nanyang in the north. From south to north, it is a full two thousand miles away. Such a large area can only be defended by 3 people. , it is conceivable how the troops were dispersed, especially now that Cao Cao in the north has occupied part of Yanzhou, Sili and Yuzhou, posing a huge threat to the northern part of Jingzhou. This is why Liu Biao took Liu Bei in and let him sit in town Because of Nanyang, it is not Liu Bei who is not enough to resist Cao Cao's edge!

But the current situation is that all [-] troops of Jingzhou's main force have entered the six counties of Jiangdong, the remaining [-] troops are scattered among the nine counties of Jingxiang, and [-] troops are on the border of Nanyang to guard against Cao Cao's advance. In the hinterland of Jingzhou, even eight thousand troops can no longer be gathered.

Liu Biao never thought that Liu Xiao's Xuzhou Army could suddenly cross the Yangtze River and advance towards Jiangxia County. He couldn't even figure out what was going on!

Liu Bei now has an army of 1 to [-] men. Liu Pan and Huang Zhongyou led more than [-] troops to Lujiang River to aid Liu Bei. In Huainan County to the north, Cai Mao and Wenpin have even captured the city of Huainan County. Liu Xiao's current state should be It's because you can't take care of both ends and have too much time to take care of yourself. How come you still have the energy to send out a large army to sneak attack Jiangxia City?
Once Jiangxia City falls, the east gate of Jingzhou will be opened wide, and the entire hinterland of Jingzhou will be completely exposed to the enemy.

"Xidu, Boji, now Liu Xiao's army is raiding Jiangxi, Jiangxia's defense is empty, and Huang Zu can't support it alone, but what should we do?"

Liu Biao shouted anxiously.

Not only Liu Xiao was anxious, but Qi Yue, Yi Ji and others were also shocked. They really didn't expect how this Xuzhou army could cross the Yangtze River crossed by Cai Mao and Wenpin?

You know, now Huainan County has fallen into the hands of Cai Hao and Wenpin. Lujiang is under the control of Liu Bei, and the opposite side of Jiang Xia is controlled by his own people. How could Liu Xiao's army enter without anyone noticing? Crossed the Yangtze River?
"My lord, the top priority is to send reinforcements immediately to help Jiangxia!"

Yiji called out anxiously.

"Send troops for reinforcements?"

Liu Biao said in a muffled voice: "Now that all of our Jingzhou army has crossed the Yangtze River, let alone sending troops for reinforcements, even Xiangyang Jingzhou's troops are insufficient. How can we send troops for reinforcements?"

Yue Yue said in a deep voice: "My lord, first, Huang Zu only has two thousand remnant troops guarding Jiangxia, facing Zhao Yun's twenty thousand army, it is really difficult to resist, even if we send troops to help, I am afraid it will be too late; Second, even if we can arrive in time, the troops we can send are very limited. If Zhao Yun defeats, Jiangxia will be in danger, and even Xiangyang and Jingzhou will not be able to protect themselves; so, what we have to do now is not Send troops to help, but to strengthen the defense of Xiangyang City and Jingzhou City; as for the Xuzhou Army's attack on Jiangxia, Wenpin and General Cai Mao occupy Huainan County, and they will definitely return to help immediately after getting the news. From Huainan to Jiangxia, only two or three hundred In addition, Jiangxia supplies all the food and grass for Liu Bei's army in Lujiang, if Jiangxia falls, Liu Bei will definitely return to the army as soon as possible and snatch Jiangxia city!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao felt a little calmer and shouted urgently: "In that case, Zhang Yun and Su Fei immediately led their troops to set up defenses outside Xiangyang City to guard against the Xuzhou Army's invasion. They immediately ordered someone to send a message to Liu Bei. The six counties in Jiangdong can be dismissed. But we must ensure the safety of Jingzhou, and Jiangxia County cannot afford to lose anything!"
