Under the unexpected blow of the Jiangxia army, it broke without persisting for half a day.
Cao Ren, the governor of Cao's army, saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately made a decision to evacuate Jiangling City.
However, the Jiangxia army, who were sieging the city, forced too much, and had no time to burn the food, grass and weapons in the city, so they evacuated in panic with 50,000 elite troops.
He was intercepted by Liu Bei's army Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's troops halfway, but he easily defeated Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. However, while Cao Ren used the military aura to repel Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he was also seriously injured.
The Jiangxia army spread along the outside of the city wall to a gentle slope less than two meters above the city tower, and entered Jiangling City without Cao's army's defense in one fell swoop.
After taking down Jiangling City, Huang Zhong's command team stabilized the order in the city. There was no mountain of food and grass piled up in many cities, and the weapons in the warehouses, but instead took all the collections of Jiangling City's dilapidated family.
.
After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops into the city, they were immediately happy to see the plump granary and armory.
As for the collection seized by the Jiangxia army, they didn't care at all.
The news immediately reached Liu Qi, who was in charge of Jiangxia's prefect's office. He couldn't help but chuckle: "General Han Sheng is doing well!"
A group of civil and military officials under the prefect's mansion immediately came to congratulate him with joy.
This is a tiger's mouth snatching food from Cao's army. Huang Hansheng's battle will definitely give Jiangxia's prefect's mansion a face, and he can even call him a "famous general".
After all, Cao Ren is a famous general of the Cao army, and is a famous general praised by the world.
It is obvious that Huang Hansheng can take over the Jiangling Xiongcheng where Cao Ren is stationed, and his own abilities are definitely an existence that can be included in the ranks of "famous generals".
"Eunuch, Jiangling City is a hot potato, how to deal with it?"
"I think that since we have defeated it, we should deal with it!"
"You can't say that. We are joining forces with Liu Bei's army in Fankou this time, and the other side is the absolute main force. This siege has suffered a lot of losses!"
"Then why didn't they take Jiangling City?"
“…”
Liu Qi was amused by the civil and military officials of the prefects, and they were arguing about the newly-established Jiangling City. After these guys became addicted to debate, they said angrily: "What are you thinking about?"
"Although Jiangling City is good, it has to face Cao Zhe's soldiers. Who would you think of going to take charge? I'll give you the opportunity to be the city guard!"
A light and fluttering sentence immediately caused a group of civil and military officials to extinguish the fire.
What a joke? The civil and military officials of Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion have not yet had the intention to turn to Prime Minister Cao, and naturally they have no courage to fight against Chief Cao.
It’s better to stay in Jiangxia honestly, at least you don’t have to worry about war.
After these guys discussed the matter and left with tactful thoughts, Liu Qi showed a satisfied expression.
At this time, he had received the details of the war written by Huang Zhong himself, and knew the process of the siege, and was indescribable to feel comfortable.
As expected, as we can use the unique advantages of the warriors of this era to do many incredible things.
The best example is to capture Jiangling City so easily!
After all, it is a high world, with a strong spiritual energy in the world. The people of the Eastern Han Dynasty in this world have excellent physical fitness.
An adult man can carry a load of 500 kilograms at will.
A trained sergeant can easily throw a stone ball worth 200 kilograms away at will, and can be used as a human-shaped trencher.
This is a considerable advantage!
However, for some reason, there are no precedents for this application in the original owner's memory and in the wars recorded in historical books.
Just like what Liu Bei's army did in the offensive and defensive battle in Jiangling City, it was just a matter of course.
Liu Qi doesn't care so much, so he naturally needs to try it out when he thinks about it.
Before Huang Zhong went to war, he specially invited this guy to tell him his understanding of the war and his wonderful ideas about specific tactics.
It can be seen that Huang Zhong refused at the time. Obviously, some of Liu Qi's ideas and proposals had a great conflict with Huang Zhong's ideas.
But unexpectedly, this guy actually used some of Liu Qi's fantasy tactics in the siege of Jiangling City.
During the siege, why do you have to risk a huge risk to charge to climb the city?
The soldiers were all amazing strong men, and they could fully utilize them to form a gentle slope directly connecting to the city tower by throwing.
If you really do this, the battle after the meeting will be much simpler, it will be just a charge.
In terms of military generals, the coalition forces with absolute military advantages can definitely be called Cao Ren, who is in charge of Jiangling, and will not be able to take advantage of it.
Of course, relying solely on the advantages of the strong men in the army, it is unlikely to win Jiangling City.
Through the specific battle reports sent back by Huang Zhong, we can see that this guy's sharp shooting technique must have played an extremely critical role.
If the soldiers on the defensive side on the city tower cannot be completely suppressed and it is difficult to stand out, the Jiangxia army can play throwing. Could it be that the Cao army, which has a height advantage on the city tower, cannot do it?
Huangzhou's strength is obviously even more powerful than you think!
On the other side, Liu Bei’s temporary residence in Fankou.
Unlike Romance, Liu Bei received the attention of Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu because his military strength increased a lot, so he naturally did not have to go to the Eastern Wu to take risks in person.
At this time, Liu Bei also received a good news from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: the coalition forces took Jiangling!
I was immediately happy and had some thoughts in my heart!
Compared with Jiangling Xiongcheng, it is obvious that Fankou, which is stationed at this time, is too far apart, and I really want to move the base camp to Jiangling City.
As for the possibility of a fierce conflict with the main force of the Cao army after taking over Jiangling, Liu Bei didn't take it much.
However, after reading the letters from the two sworn brothers, especially the details of the coalition siege described in it, he knew it.
If you want to move to Jiangling City, you have to agree to Jiangxia Prefect Liu Qi.
There is no way, who told the Jiangxia army to perform well in this siege and directly seize Jiangling City.
If you just go to Jiangling City without saying hello, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble and suspicion.
"Military advisor, can Pei go to Xiling with him?"
He handed the letter to Zhuge Liang, the first counselor, and said directly: "I want to move the temporary resident directly to Jiangling City, so it is best to get the recognition and approval of my eldest nephew."
"It's time to go there!"
Zhuge Liang was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Jiangxia army would take down Jiangling City.
In this case, if Liu Bei wants to move to Jiangling City, it is best to get Liu Qi's support or approval, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to predict.
In addition, he also talked about the reality of Jiangxia Army.
I never expected that this was the result. Could it be that Jiang Xia army had another secret?
