Chapter 1004 Xiangyang Attack and Defense
No matter how broken Xiahou Dun's mood was, the situation was stronger than others, and he still had to bear it in the end, just watching Wang Xuan lead his subordinates to occupy Fancheng in a grand manner.

As for sneaking upriver and destroying the dam and flooding Fancheng, to be honest, this is indeed a temptation, and it doesn't take much, as long as he, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu secretly go there, they can smash the newly built dam in a few strokes.

But the problem is...

"Zi Lian (Cao Hong), do you think that despicable, shameless and shameless Wang Xuan would leave such an obvious opening for us?"

"Uh..." Cao Hong froze for a moment, with a very tangled expression on his face. After a while, he sighed, "With that cunning guy's temperament, no!"

(Wang Xuan: Ah Xie, who praised me again?)
"That's it, I think that's the bait for us, to lure us over there, that guy has seven masters who are at the same level as us, in the middle of the army, we can use the cloud of the army to save our lives even if we are besieged Worry-free, but in the wild..." Xiahou Dun didn't say anything more, but everyone present understood what it meant.

When Cao Hong heard the scene of being besieged, he couldn't help shivering. Li Tong's body was not cold, so he didn't want to follow in Li Tong's footsteps.

This guy is really despicable, Cao Hong cursed fiercely in his heart.

"Then what should we do now? Just wait for that guy to lead people to attack the city?" Seeing that they didn't get to the point for a long time, Huang Zu couldn't help asking. This is what he cares about the most. After all, Jingzhou including him The top aristocratic families all live in Xiangyang City, and one bad thing is to burn everything together.

With Huang Zu's words, the hall suddenly fell into silence, which made Huang Zu keenly aware of something wrong, fixed his eyes on Xiahou Dun, who was at the top, and asked word by word: "General Xiahou, what's the big deal?" occur!"

"Indeed!" After pondering for a while, Xiahou Dun took out the letter from Cao Cao. In fact, there were two letters in total. One was about Xiapi and Gan Ning, and the other was addressed to Xiahou Dun alone. Yes, there are only eight words on it: Do nothing, protect yourself.

In the eyes of Cao Cao and others, the current Xiangyang is simply a pit, and it counts as much as it can be pulled out. Anyway, there can be no other losses.

He, Cao Cao, has a poor family background.

The letter went round in the hands of Huang Zu, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, and others. After reading it, the eyes of these Jingzhou family representatives were full of despair. Chen Deng's remarks were indeed impassioned, but... it was not a desperate situation. , who would make such a choice? Now, for their Jingzhou family, this has reached a desperate situation.

Whether it was Wei Yan who captured Xiapi or Gan Ning who captured Shouchun, to Cao Cao, these two places were more important than Xiangyang, so there was no way he was thinking about Xiangyang at this moment.

So don't look at there are still [-] troops in the city, and there is still enough food for more than three years, but for them, it is only a matter of time before they fall.

It wasn't that they underestimated themselves and promoted Wang Xuan, but that Wang Xuan had built a great reputation over the years. No one could persist in Wang Xuan's hands. This had nothing to do with the number of troops, it was simply metaphysics.

In this regard, Xiahoudun and the others did not say much to comfort them. They are all smart people, and there is no need to point out many things. They will try their best to defend the city, not for the Jingzhou family, but to delay Wang Xuan's footsteps. In addition, It is already impossible for the [-] troops to bring back to the Central Plains. In this case, it is better to consume Wang Xuan's troops as much as possible.

There is nothing wrong with mourning soldiers!
Early the next morning, the Han army began to erect pontoon bridges on the Han River. For the Han army, these military equipment had been modularized, and it was easy to build. As for Cao Jun’s navy, only half of them came back last time. A group of burly men each carrying their weapons were gazing at the river bank. Cao Jun's navy could only stare blankly and dare not intervene, watching helplessly as the pontoon bridge was erected.

Two days later, under the city of Xiangyang, Wang Xuan led a 20-strong army to the city. Looking at Xiangyang City, which was nearly [-] meters away, Wang Xuan also looked dignified. Such a combination is not easy to play.

Of course, the main reason is that there are too few troops, only 5000 people, and at most they can only attack this side of the city wall. In the final analysis, there are still insufficient troops. Fortunately, there are more of them than strong generals, and they can still fight.

"Catapult, shoot!"

With the rumble of war drums, more than 300 trebuchets began to throw boulders towards the towering city wall of Xiangyang. Boulders weighing [-] to [-] kilograms whizzed across a distance of [-] meters, with whistling wind and unrivaled kinetic energy When it was smashed down, amidst the rumbling sound, the city walls of Xiangyang trembled from being smashed, and bricks were thrown out one by one.

Occasionally, a few lucky boulders just hit the top of the city, and some unlucky soldiers were smashed straight on, and immediately their whole bodies were smashed to pieces. People are afraid, and after being broken into pieces of different sizes, the bullets generally shoot in all directions, and when they hit the body, there will be a blood hole, and the harm is even greater.

"The trebuchet, counterattack, counterattack!" Xiahou Dun's eyes shot fiercely, and he roared loudly to boost morale.

Relying on the advantage of being condescending, Cao Jun's catapults are not as sophisticated in workmanship as the Han Army's side, but the difference in firing distance is not that big. A boulder roared and smashed over.

"Okay, it's here!" Wang Xuan put on a smile. He didn't expect the catapult to cause much damage to Xiangyang. According to the experience of later generations, if he wanted to take Xiangyang with the catapult, he would not even think about it for a few years.

However, Cao Jun's catapult must be fixed, otherwise it will inevitably cause a lot of damage to his own side after the siege begins.

The strength of the Han army is already at a disadvantage, and it is even more necessary to plan carefully.

"You guys go up and try to destroy the enemy's catapults." Wang Xuan turned to Guan Yu and the others and said, "Guan Ping, you go up too. I don't need your protection here."

"Uncle Wang, this..." Guan Ping was a little hesitant. Although in the army, regardless of relatives, they only talk about official positions, but that definitely doesn't apply to real bosses. Wang Xuan's leadership is so unique, Guan Yu and others should listen to it. not see.

"I've told you what Uncle Wang you saw, just call me Brother Wang." Wang Xuan gave Guan Ping a sideways glance. Everyone seemed to be about the same age. Calling him uncle doesn't mean calling me old. Speaking of which, Mi Zhen also talked to Guan Ping Ping was about the same age, and Zhen Mi was two years younger than Guan Ping. If Guan Ping called him uncle, he would always feel that he was too beastly.

The actual gap is only more than 100 years old, which is nothing in the long river of time.

But... If you call uncle or something when you are walking on the road of heaven, earth and human relations... emmmmmmm, you can't think about it, you can't think about it, it's too evil.

However, cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind. Is this also a process of tempering the mind? ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas, it is too difficult for me!

The corners of Guan Ping's mouth seemed to be cramped, and he shouted crazily in his heart: You are about the same age as my father, and you even call him a brother and brother. If I call you Brother Wang in front of my father, do you think my father will beat me to death? !

"Let's talk about each other, you say yes, Yunchang!" Wang Xuan poked Guan Yu.

"Yes, yes!" Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing this, the others turned their heads to hold back their laughter.
