The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 417 Stabbed in the back
"Han Sheng! Compared with Liu Bei, Cao Gong is truly destined. Cao Gong serves the emperor to command the princes, and the world's righteousness is all in one body. Since Liu Bei participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he has taken refuge in Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu. No matter how good he is with Liu Jingsheng, he will eventually be ruined and his reputation will be ruined. He is just a broom star. What can a lord like him do to protect him?"

Yue Yue continued to persuade.

"do not talk!"

Huang Zhong shouted: "Surrender to Cao Cao is absolutely impossible!"

As he spoke, Huang Zhong turned around and left, leaving Jiyue aside. After all, the military affairs of Xiangyang and Jiangxia are in Huang Zhong's hands. Although Jiyue is in charge of Jingzhou's affairs, he can't intervene in the affairs of the army. .

Yue Yue's face was gloomy, and he stared fiercely at Huang Zhongyuan's back.

"Alien, it's just Huang Hansheng, even if he doesn't surrender, it won't stop us from taking Xiangyang City, can it?"

A figure came out from behind the screen, it was Hua Xin who had just returned to Xudu from Jiangnan and came to Xiangyang.

Yao Yue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Zi Yu, when will the prime minister's army arrive?"

Hua Xin said with a smile: "In two days at most, the prime minister's army will come to the city. At that time, you only need to command the family's private soldiers to take down the west city in one fell swoop, open the city gate, and welcome our army into the city. You don't have to worry about other things. , just a Huang Zhong, who is about to become old, how can he be the opponent of the mighty general under the prime minister's command?"

With bright eyes shining, Yue Yue nodded heavily.

Surrender, surrender to Cao Cao!
For Jiang Yue, it doesn't matter which one is the lord, what is important is to preserve the huge foundation accumulated by the Jia family in Jingzhou for more than 100 years is the most important thing!
Huang Zhong rectified the troops in Xiangyang City and set up city defenses. Just as the defense of Xiangyang City was deployed, Cao Cao's army arrived.

It was Wu Yunzhao and Li Dian who were stationed in Nanyang who rushed to the Xiangyang city first. They led [-] troops under their command, rushed all the way to the Xiangyang city, and surrounded the Xiangyang city.

Huang Zhong quietly watched the formation of Cao's army at the top of the city. Twenty thousand troops were nothing. If he went to fight, he might not lose to the generals of Cao's army below the city. However, in Xiangyang City, he was the leader of the three armies. The backbone, once he leaves the city, if Cao Jun takes the opportunity to attack the city, it will be a big trouble.

Huang Zhong thought about it again and again, but he still endured it and went to battle. Even if he defeated the mighty Cao Jun in front of him, it would not be beneficial to the overall situation. But if he lost a game, the entire Xiangyang City would collapse. Under the circumstances, I am capable, and I can't even think about defending Xiangyang City.

Huang Zhong closed the four gates tightly, guarding against death, and did not leave the slightest chance for Wu Yunzhao and Li Dian outside the city, but the two were not in a hurry to attack the city, waiting for the arrival of Cao Cao's main force.

Seeing that Cao's army would not attack the city, Huang Zhong calmed down a little. The longer the time dragged on, the better for him. Jingzhou's troops and the lord's reinforcements must not take long before they can reach Xiangyang. , Naturally, you can compete with Cao Cao.

It's just that Huang Zhong's thinking is too simple.

After the sky was completely dark, another elite force rushed to the west city suddenly, and the leader of the army was Yang Ye, the mighty general under Cao Cao.

Huang Zhong saw that another Cao army was coming, and his heart was even more depressed. Another Cao army, although not many troops, but there are thousands of people. In addition to the previous army strength, it has already surpassed the army strength in Xiangyang City. This time, he has two fists. Hard to beat four hands...

Huang Zhong had no choice but to strengthen the defense of the west city again. However, almost all the troops have been dispatched to the top of the city now, and they can't even send the rotation troops of the younger generations. Once the battle is fierce, there is no rotation of troops. Tired myself out.

Sure enough, after only one night, Wu Yunzhao, Li Dian, and Yang Jiye launched a fierce attack on Xiangyang City outside the city. More than 2 Cao troops launched waves of offensives on Xiangyang City from all directions, and ladders were erected on the city wall. Above, the soldiers climbed up crazily.

Huang Zhong wished he could break it into four parts and use it alone. Every city gate was facing a powerful attack. He was really at his wits' end.

After all, one day was coming to an end, dead bodies and seriously wounded people were everywhere at the top and bottom of the city, screaming again and again, and in just one day, more than 2000 casualties had occurred on both sides.

In particular, Cao Jun's catapults kept dropping stones to the head of Xiangyang City, which was more lethal than the archers. After all, anyone who was hit by a stone would definitely have broken bones and tendons, and some would even be smashed directly. It became a meatloaf, and of course Cao Jun was not much better. A large number of rolling logs and stones were hoarded at the top of Xiangyang City, and they were thrown down by the defenders. The casualties of Cao Jun were much higher than those of Jingzhou Army!

After the first day, followed by another day of fierce fighting, the casualties on both sides continued to rise, Xiangyang City was isolated and its morale was low, and Huang Zhong could only try his best to support it.

Of course, Huang Zhong can still withstand Cao Jun's crazy offensive. At least until Liu Bei arrives, there is no big problem. After all, [-] troops are not so easily consumed, let alone Huang Zhong. You can also call on the people in the city to defend the city.

But at the critical moment, Yao Yue stabbed Huang Zhong savagely behind him, which actually killed Huang Zhong.

On the third day, before the fourth watch, Huang Zhong finished his last inspection of the city and returned to the mansion to rest. After all, he is not an iron man, and he does not know how many days the battle will last in the future. After all, it will be even more difficult to support in the future.

However, before Huang Zhong returned to his house and fell asleep, he heard that there were already flames in the west.

Huang Zhong was startled, he rushed out in big strides, and shouted: "Come on, come on!"

"General, General!"

A pro-army rushed over and said in a hurry: "General Qi, something is wrong. The school lieutenant Jianxiu suddenly led two hundred troops to open the gate of the west city, lit a fire, and let Cao Jun in. Thousands of Cao Jun surrounded him." If you enter, the entire western city has already fallen!"

what!
Huang Zhong was startled and furious. With the help of Xiangyang city defenses, he could barely survive for half a month. Without Xiangyang city, he only had [-] troops. Facing the coming [-] to [-] Cao Cao's army, then There is only one dead end!

"Send the order, gather all the troops, and take back the west city with all your strength! We must defend the west city!"

Huang Zhong roared angrily, "Come here, prepare your horse and carry your sword!"

It's just that Huang Zhong is furious now, and it's useless. Now Cao Jun has entered the city, even if there are only a thousand people, as long as they guard the city gate, there will be a steady stream of reinforcements coming in.

Suddenly encountering changes, the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang City was panicked and their morale was in chaos. How could they still defend Xiangyang City?
