Chapter 741 The bloody battle in Xiangyang begins
"Yiling has been breached?" Liu Biao was taken aback when he received the news, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "When did this happen?"

"The night before yesterday!"

The orderly replied.

"Where is Governor Cai?" Liu Biao asked again.

"More than half of the [-] soldiers in Yiling were killed, and the rest were captured. Even Master Li was captured alive. However, Governor Cai has led the main force of the navy to withdraw from the battlefield, and is now stationed in Jingzhou City!"

"The main force of the navy is safe?" Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"

As long as the main force of the navy is kept, there is still hope on the southern front.

If the southern line cannot be stopped, then Jingzhou will be in jeopardy.

After all, the main force of Yizhou is on the southern battlefield. If Yizhou's 10,000+ army attacks from the north, he can't stop it at all, and Jingzhou will undoubtedly lose.

"Zirou!"

Liu Biao summoned Kuai Liang to discuss countermeasures: "That's the way it is. It is a fact that Yiling has been breached, and now I'm considering whether to send reinforcements to the south?"

"My lord, even the city of Xiangyang may not be able to hold it. How can we have reinforcements going south!"

Kuai Liang shook his head.

"Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and the others are facing more than [-] Yizhou's main force, but in front of us, there are only tens of thousands of herders. If we send some troops to the south, it makes sense. If the southern battlefield is breached, we will be in trouble!"

Liu Biao's concerns were not unreasonable. The most important thing was that he felt that Mu Jun was not as strong as he imagined. During this period, the fight may have been too smooth. Mu Jun's successive defeats gave him the confidence to build up.
"My lord, it is still unknown whether the southern battlefield will be breached!"

Kuai Liang said: "But as long as we move our troops south, Xiangyang will be lost immediately!"

"We have figured out the strength of the Mu army, it's only [-] to [-] troops!"

Liu Biao said.

"Indeed, the Mu army's strength is not strong. The rumors of Hanzhong's disarmament before are not groundless, but the fighting power of the Mu army is extraordinary. My lord has thought about it in the previous battle. With their strength, they can easily destroy the west of Xiangyang City!"

Kuai Liang said: "I think that although the Mu army's strength is not strong, its combat power can serve as a [-] army. It must not be underestimated. Moreover, during this time, the Mu army is simply showing weakness and just wants us to relax our vigilance!"

"But Jingzhou City?"

"Jingzhou City has Dudu Cai and Zhang Yun, and their troops are also very strong. It is not a problem to block them for a few months!"

Kuai Liang said: "Xiangyang is the most important thing. As long as Xiangyang stands up for a day, the appeal of Jingzhou Prefecture Mufu will be there. Once Xiangyang cannot be maintained, Jingzhou Prefecture Mufu will lose its appeal to Jingzhou. Then it will be troublesome." .

And the lord should pay attention to the Mu army, I'm afraid the lord didn't expect that Jiang Xia's navy would be dragged on the river, this is something I couldn't have imagined either! "

He paused and said, "And if I'm not mistaken, they're about to attack!"

"You mean, the Mu army is going to attack!"

There was a gleam of light in Liu Biao's eyes.

"Death, they can't consume us. They have been dragging on, nothing more than waiting for news from the south. Now that the news from the south has come back, they also think that it is time to attack our Xiangyang!"

Kuai Liang said: "If they are determined to fight to the death, it will be a bloody battle. We must be fully prepared to face it!"

The northern suburb of Deng County.

Xi Shan.

Shepherd's camp.

"Xi Sima's movements are very fast!" Chen Gong squinted his eyes, and the light shot out through a slit, and said in a deep voice: "He is fighting a psychological war!"

"I'm not surprised by this!"

Mu Jing said: "What surprised me was Liu Yan's trust in him. He mobilized 10,000+ main force, but Liu Yan has gained a lot of money. How dare he trust Xi Zhicai so much, and he is not afraid of being tricked again!"

"He's not stupid either!"

Chen Gong shook his head: "In other places, he will not stop, but on the battlefield of Jingzhou, he can listen to the strategy of Zhicai, it is because he has calculated correctly, no matter what purpose we have, we will not unite with Jingzhou Let's trick him together, if this is the case, why didn't he fight, Yizhou's 10,000+ main force was crushed in Yiling, he was under a lot more pressure than I imagined!"

"That's right!"

Mu Jingting nodded, and he stood up slowly: "The situation in Nanyang is beyond our reach now, but we can't wait to die. We must resolve the Jingzhou campaign as soon as possible, so that we can stabilize the southern front. Now is the time for a decisive battle!"

"Pass down my military order, all officers above the rank of captain and Sima in each department, rush to Xishan Zhongying within an hour!"

"promise!"

A dozen war horses outside came out of the camp, and the order was sent.

An hour later, the army was in the tent.

Jingping's First Army, Jingping's Second Army, Violent Bear Army, officers and men of the three armies, school lieutenants above the battalion level and Sima all participated in this meeting.

Mu Jing changed into a new outfit, and took the first place, with a hot fighting spirit all over his body: "From now on, we will officially enter the attack on Xiangyang City. My goal is to fight for three months. Within, break Xiangyang."

"Break Xiangyang!"

"Break Xiangyang!"

At this moment, all the generals are united, united and united, with high morale.

"very good!"

Mu Jing was very satisfied with the lieutenant general's attitude, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he began to say: "Gongtai, you announce the offensive mission!"

"promise!"

Chen Gong and Xi Zhicai had discussed for a long time at the beginning, and initially had a strategic plan. After he took the order, he stepped forward, pulled out the huge screen strategic map, and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Everyone, this battle is very important, so we must be perfect every step of the way!"

He pointed to the map: "Our first step is to pull out all the camps outside Xiangyang City except for the waterways. We must force all the Jingzhou troops into Xiangyang City!"

"First battle, Longzhong!"

Pointing to a location on the map, he said: "The [-] soldiers stationed in Longzhong are the first line of defense against us, so they must be pulled out with a thunderbolt!"

"The end will fight!"

Chen Dao and Zhou Cang called for battle at the same time.

"Leave this battle to Chen Dao!"

Seeing the bullfighting eyes of the two leaders, Mu Jing pressed his hand, asked Chen Gong to sit down, and said, "I have only one request, within three days, I want to stand on Mount Longzhong!"

Jingping's First Army is stronger than the Violent Bear Army. This is a fact. It is also a consideration to entrust the vanguard mission to Chen Dao. This battle is very important and cannot be lost. The first battle is about morale. You must fight fast and win. Also play beautifully.

"The final general is willing to issue a military order!"

Chen Dao was overjoyed and bowed his head down.

"Zhou Cang!"

"exist!"

"Fighting Longzhong is not a single war. You lead the flanks to respond, surround the points to fight for aid, do you understand?"

"The last general takes the order!" Zhou Cang was a little upset at not getting the mission, but when he heard these four words, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Don't worry, my lord, I will never allow any Jingzhou troops to reinforce Longzhong!"

"Wenyuan!"

"exist!"

"Jiangxia's navy is very vigilant, lure them away!" Mu Jing said: "First of all, we must ensure that they will not enter Longzhong!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't let any Jiangxia warship enter Longzhong's range!"

Zhang Liao nodded.

In the fourth year of Chuping, on May 27th, in the morning, the Mujun Jingping First Army dispatched the main force of three battalions to attack Longzhong, the northern suburb of Xiangyang, from the west, north, and south, and completely started a bloody battle. Xiangyang offensive and defensive battle...
