Jiangling City.
Seeing the military flag erected at the south gate, Liu Mang had already guessed that it was the nearest reinforcements - the four counties of Jingnan.
"Brother Liu Pan is brave enough but not resourceful enough to come up with such a small plan."
"Prefect Zhao Fan, it's just a matter of fighting against the five scum. Eliminate the possibility of this person."
"Prefect Liu Xian, fight against the five scum like Zhao Fan!"
"Only Gong Zhi can shoulder this important task."
Liu Mang made a simple calculation and already knew what Gong Zhi was planning.
Even in today's stormy times, seeing reinforcements coming can still be a great morale booster!
"This kid Gong Zhi! The last time he came to me to report on his work, he actually learned how to pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag!"
There was admiration in Pang Tong's eyes, and then he said anxiously: "This kind of strategy is extremely dangerous! Although the military flag can serve as a deterrent, it also depends on who the opponent is!"
"If there were lunatics like Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, I'm afraid they would kill him and compete with General Guan and others in martial arts..."
"Unless the opponent is Yu Jin, Xu Huang and others!"
Liu Mang nodded equally worriedly, he was more concerned about the safety of Gong Zhi and others.
But what Liu Mang didn't expect was that Gong Zhi and others moved forward ten miles, but Cao Jun directly chose to retreat!
"Sir, please quickly order someone to display Uncle Zhao's military flag!"
Liu Mang hurriedly reminded, and Pang Tong immediately understood that this was the "first time the five tiger generals have come together", and Cao Jun must be able to see it clearly!
A large flag with the word "Zhao" was quickly erected on the Jiangling City Tower, which complemented the "Guan", "Zhang", "Ma" and "Huang" below the city!
"The Five Tiger Generals are coming! Jiangling can be saved!"
"The prince is in Jiangling, how can the two generals Guan and Zhang not come?"
"General Ma and Old General Huang, these are the prince's supporters!"
In Jiangling City, the sluggish morale suddenly rose.
Gong Zhi saw Jiangling City constantly waving military flags, and he immediately felt relieved.
"This plan has been successful! But don't be happy too early!"
Gong Zhi looked at Liu Pan, Liu Du, and Zhao Fan, and said solemnly: "If Cao Jun jumps over the wall in a hurry and launches an attack suddenly, I hope you will be prepared to fight to the death!"
Liu Pan laughed when he heard this, "As an elder brother, the only thing I can do for my virtuous brother is to give him my life and protect him!"
Liu Xian also nodded, "After Lingling was pacified, the young master did not drive me and my father away, but instead treated me with courtesy. This kindness cannot be repaid!"
Zhao Fan was in a dilemma, "My relationship with the young master is not that good...but Zilong is my sworn brother, and I must be loyal!"
Gong Zhi nodded with satisfaction. Although the four of them didn't interact that frequently on weekdays, they all came here without hesitation in order to support Liu Mang and Zhao Yun.
"Everyone! Gong Zhi would like to thank you and is willing to hand over his life to me!"
Gong Zhi bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "This world can be without you and me, but it cannot be without the Young Master!"
"Now let's wait and see how scared Yu Jin and Xu Huang are, hahaha!"
…
At the south gate of Jiangling, Cao Jun’s camp.
Seeing "Guan Yu" leading the other three tigers to advance ten miles, Yu Jin and Xu Huang were anxious.
"Yun Chang's temper has improved a lot in recent years..."
Xu Huang laughed at himself: "If it had been before, he would have used his troops to cover up the attack and would not have given us a chance!"
"After all, it's a fellow from Hedong who gave me some thin noodles!"
Yu Jin was deeply aware that no one wanted to fight against the five tiger generals, especially four tigers at once!
"Gongming, I'm afraid it's hard to resist Guan Yu with just the strength of you and me!"
"Not to mention Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong are here to help!"
"Why don't we go to General Zixiao for support later?"
Facing the five tiger generals, there is no shame!
But Xu Huang still shook his head and explained: "Wen Ze, you and I were supposed to attack the south gate, but now we have to beware of Guan Yu and we can no longer attack the city!"
"If we continue to mobilize troops, I might cause trouble!"
"We might as well stand still. Even if General Zixiao asks, it can be said to prevent Guan Yu from attacking!"
"Let's see how long this rain lasts!"
For the first time, Xu Huang hoped that the rain would last as long as possible, otherwise Guan Yu would definitely rush in and kill him!
The two sides confronting each other at the south gate of Jiangling were taking chances and hoped that the other side would not attack easily.
However, the continuous heavy rain will eventually end!
Sima Yi launched another siege. If it continues, the company's strategy will become increasingly useless!
The few remaining stone-making carts were all pushed to the front by Sima Yi!
"Damn it, aren't you afraid that old dog Cao Song's spiritual position will be damaged?"
Pang Tong cursed three times and wanted to repeat his old tricks, but this time it was not Cao Ren who directed the battle, but Sima Yi!
"Everyone, listen up, it's raining heavily now, and we can't see clearly what's going on on the tower!"
"The spiritual title held by Pang Tong is not the father of King Wei!"
"The stone car is ready to attack!"
The most brutal siege battle has begun!
The stone-producing chariot attacks the city wall first!
Huge stones bombarded the city wall, making everyone on the city tower feel shaky, but it was not over yet!
The archers of Cao's army took advantage of the slackness of the defenders and shot arrows decisively to kill the enemy!
Liu Mang personally commanded, and with the assistance of Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others, the morale of the army was stabilized!
"Raise the shield in your hand and protect your head!"
"The stone cart will never be able to break through the city wall, so don't panic!"
"The reinforcements at the south gate are waiting for an opportunity, we must hold on!"
Liu Mang held a shield in his hand and was almost injured by a stray arrow, but he still did not hesitate and rushed forward to rescue several wounded soldiers.
"Your Majesty, avoid the arrows!"
Zhao Yun waved his spear and came to help in time.
A long spear danced tightly to prevent the two of them from getting hurt.
"Your Majesty!"
Pang Tong climbed up the tower, and Liu Mang was panting and shouted angrily: "Sir, didn't I tell you not to come to the tower?"
Pang Tong was worried about gangsters, and at the same time, he also had military intelligence reports!
"Sir! The South Gate...Cao's army at the South Gate seems to be attacking the reinforcements!"
"What!"
Liu Mang couldn't believe it. How could Xu Huang and Yu Jin dare to attack the Five Tiger Generals?
It’s just that plans don’t change quickly!
Sima Yi saw Xu Huang and Yu Jin openly fishing and paddling, so he decisively ordered Zhang Liao and Xu Chu to go. These two people were not afraid of Guan Yu and others!
Then suddenly there was a scene of Cao Jun preparing to attack!
"Damn it! Attack the city here, send reinforcements there! Cao Ren is really good at planning!"
Liu Mang took a deep breath. It was difficult to break the situation at this time. The heavy rain meant that even if he sent troops, he could not attack Cao Ying.
If the reinforcements are defeated by Zhang Liao and others, morale in the city will inevitably be low.
The scheme of Gong Zhi and others will also be seen through!
"Sir, let me support you!"
Zhao Yun looked at Jiangling City with deep eyes. He had been on official business with Gong Zhi and others, and he must not sit idly by.
"No! Liu Mang took a deep breath. Fourth Uncle Zhao is the commander-in-chief. How can he take risks easily?"
