A blue lightning flashed across the night sky, followed by a roar that shook the earth.
It rained heavily and the military situation was like a fire.
Cai Zhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the hall, while Cai Hao yawned and walked out of the back hall slowly.
"Ouch! Cousin, you came out, something big happened!"
What big thing could happen that we have to wake him up in the middle of the night?
Cai Hao sneered and sat down slowly.
The tea on the table had been cold for a long time, but Cai Hao still picked up the cup and took a sip to moisten his throat.
As a result, Cai Zhong's next words made him drop the tea cup to the ground.
"Jiangdong's army is coming to the city!"
As if a bucket of cold water was poured down from the top of his head, Cai Hao shivered all over.
Ignoring the valuable pottery broken on the ground, he stared wide-eyed, grabbed Cai Zhong's wrist and asked.
"what happened?"
"Where did the people come from to attack Xiangyang?!"
Every move of the Huxiao camp was under the surveillance of the Han army, and they did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Sun Ce's troops were also surrounded by Wenpin and Zhang Yun in the hinterland of Jingzhou. If Maicheng fell, there would never be any news.
Yes, how can anyone break into Xiangyang?
"I don't know! I don't know!"
Only then did Cai Mao realize that Cai Zhong's hands had been trembling, and Cai Zhong replied with a sad face.
"Cousin, don't worry about this now. The west gate has been lost, and Jiangdong's army has entered the city. The 1,000 soldiers in the inner city are rushing to the palace to guard the lord. No one can move the guards of the other three gates without your general order. .”
"Hurry up and mobilize your troops!"
Cai Mao woke up from a dream and said hurriedly.
"Yes! Go to the study to get my tiger talisman and rush to the south gate immediately to mobilize troops. I will arrange the north and east gates."
"yes!"
Cai Zhong hurriedly wanted to go to the back hall, but Cai Mao grabbed him again.
"Cousin?"
Cai Zhong turned around in confusion.
I saw Cai Mao slowly sitting down again, a little lost.
"Wait?????? Let me think."
??????
The pouring rain made the armor heavy, and the fighting made people even more exhausted.
Han troops continued to pour in from various streets.
People fell one after another, and the flowing blood dyed many puddles on the ground red, and then was diluted by the rain, over and over again until it turned into a turbid mess.
"Kill!"
At the beginning, the Han soldiers rushed over from all sides with their eyes closed, but soon they discovered a problem that they had to face up to.
Their main battlefield cannot bring them victory.
Many generals realized the seriousness of the problem and began to use sporadic attacks to try to delay the Jiangdong Army.
"Don't pursue or entangle, go straight to the Han Palace!"
Ji Shu yelled at the top of his lungs, otherwise he was worried that the sound of rain would drown out his order.
Such an attack by the Han army could not cause many casualties to the Jiangdong Army. Ji Shu could see that the Han army's command was still in chaos.
But more important than expanding the results was Liu Biao's head. This was the most important significance of this sneak attack.
Under the leadership of the guide, Jiang Dongjun rushed through one street after another and finally came to the Han Palace.
Although Liu Biao began to build his own palace since he became king, a few months were not enough to complete such a huge project, so Liu Biao still lives in the original Zhou Mufu, just with another plaque. .
Now, I'm afraid his palace will never be completed.
Seeing the target in front of him, Ji Shu grinned and chuckled, and Yu Linjun was also excited.
But what greeted the Yulin army was a row of powerful crossbows.
Whoosh!
Dozens of arrows came towards him, and a dozen soldiers fell to the ground.
In order to facilitate the rapid march in the heavy rain, Ji Shu had already asked the soldiers to abandon equipment that was difficult to carry such as shields.
At this moment, it may have become a luxury to hope to effectively defend against crossbows and reduce casualties, Ji Shu gritted his teeth and ordered.
"rush!"
"Break through the palace gate, capture Liu Biao, and destroy Jinghan!"
"Let the world see the style of our Yu Lin Army!"
Jiangxia City survived the bloody battle, endured the thousands-mile attack, and stormed through the city. Are you still afraid of this small mansion?
"Strong wind!" "Strong wind!"
The soldiers of the Yulin Army rushed forward with red eyes.
??????
In the palace of the King of Han.
Liu Biao sat motionless in the hall with a pale face.
The attendants around him reported the news with fear.
"Lord, Jiangdong's army has surrounded the palace. Do you want to gather troops and horses to break out?"
Hearing the attendant's words, Liu Biao's eyes moved like dead fish.
"Breakout?"
"Where to go?"
"Our army is already at a disadvantage. Once Xiangyang is lost, the morale of the entire army will suffer a heavy blow. How can we fight Sun Ce?"
"If Xiangyang is there, the lonely man will still be there; if Xiangyang is lost, there will be nothing."
With the green mountains still around, why worry about not having firewood?
The attendant hurriedly advised again.
"Lord, if Xiangyang is lost, you can get it back! The Jiangdong Army only has a few hundred soldiers and horses left. As long as the lord escapes, he can mobilize a large army. Why worry about not getting back a city garrisoned by hundreds of people?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Biao roared ferociously.
"The lonely Xiangyang City has 3,000 defenders. The city is high and the pool is deep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. If tens of thousands of soldiers and horses come, that's it. It's just a few hundred people!"
"Are a few hundred people allowed to flee the city?!"
"I'm not going anywhere, just here."
As he spoke, Liu Biao lost his breath and said tremblingly.
"Don't be afraid??????Don't be afraid."
"Jiangdong's army only has a few hundred people, and there are still 2,000 defenders in Xiangyang. As long as the lonely general arrives here, Jiangdong's army will die."
At this time, a soldier walked in and knelt down in front of Liu Biao and cried.
"My Lord, General Cai Mao killed Huang Zu, took Huang Zu's head, and led 1,500 soldiers to surrender to Jiangdong Army!"
Boom~~
A bolt of blue lightning pierced the night sky, making Liu Biao's face pale.
Cai Mao and Kuai Liang were Liu Biao's earliest subordinates.
Cai Mao was his most trusted right-hand man, Kuai Liang was his most relied-upon military advisor, and Huang Zu was his most admired general.
In the Battle of Jiangxia, Jingzhou lost half of its troops. Many generals impeached Huang Zu and Li Yan, saying that it was because of Huang Zu and Li Yan's ineffective fighting. Li Yan was dead, and Huang Zu was deposed at home.
Kuai Liang's old illness relapsed and he died when Liu Biao needed him most.
Now Cai Mao, whom he trusted the most, actually killed Huang Zu and led his troops to surrender to the enemy!
A mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and Liu Biao couldn't help but spurt it out.
"Lord!"
The attendants and soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Biao.
It's a pity that reality didn't even give Liu Biao a chance to breathe. A soldier covered in blood stumbled into the room and fell to the ground again.
"Lord, let's go quickly! Jiang Dongjun broke through the main gate and entered the mansion!"
Walk?
Where to go?
There was no hope left.
Liu Biao collapsed and said to the attendant beside him.
"Bring me my sword."
"Lord!"
Everyone knelt down in front of Liu Biao and burst into tears.
By the time Ji Shu led his men to fight here, Liu Biao had already committed suicide. The attendants around him died for him, and the two soldiers surrendered to Ji Shu.
??????
The fighting continued from night to morning, and the heavy rain stopped after noon.
The thick ink painting above the sky seemed to be torn apart, and a few beams of sunlight fell to the earth. Gradually, the light became brighter and brighter, the dark clouds dispersed and the sky became clear.
If it weren't for the puddles on the ground, the violent storm last night would have seemed fake.
On the top of the city of Xiangyang, the flag of the Yulin Army fluttered in the wind.
