"General, as expected, these aristocratic families must have done nothing. Zhuge Liang's methods and the troops in the city are enough to suppress them very quickly." "But in this way, it also gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it. Blast the city gate open. In these days, Zhuge Liang has strengthened the defense of the city gate. Even at night, he can't even think of getting close to the city gate, let alone blowing the city gate open. "Guo Jia continued: "The aristocratic family is making trouble in the city. In a short period of time, Xiangyang will definitely become chaotic. As long as we seize this opportunity, we are sure to blow the city gate open. " "But Xiangyang is stronger than Jiangling's city gate, so all the explosives need to be put in at once. I hope the city gate can be blown open," Guo Jiadao. A flash of light flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes. Guo Jia analyzed a troubled family incident, but it became an opportunity for the Xiliang army to attack Xiangyang. Putting all the explosives in at once, Huang Zhong was also a little undecided. After all, Xu Huang only brought ten explosives this time. The Xiliang Army could not possess a large number of such weapons. It could be said that each explosive was obtained at the expense of the lives of many outstanding craftsmen. "Let Zhou Tai and the Cai family take action. If we do it, we must do it big." Huang Zhong said coldly. Guo Jia's expression was slightly stagnant. If his strategy failed, it would not delay other operations in the city. However, Huang Zhong's few words had turned this operation into a single battle. "General, has he decided?" Guo Jia asked in a low voice. "Well, here's the order, the three armies are ready. A thousand heavy cavalry will open the way, and then the heavy infantry will enter the city. Xiangyang must be captured. None of the defenders in the city can escape. They have sealed the six city gates. Let them understand "Excuse me for my stupidity." After Huang Zhong's secret letter reached Li Ying, the two sisters quickly launched an operation together with more than a dozen assassination soldiers. "Master Cai, this is the action order issued by General Huang." Li Ying handed the letter to Cai Hao respectfully. No general of the Xiliang Army dared to ignore Cai Hao. Who would let him have a good sister in the palace? . "Oh, I didn't expect General Huang to make up his mind so quickly. No problem, the Cai family will definitely help." Cai Mao said. "I also ask Master Cai to follow me and leave after giving the order." Li Ying said, this was her purpose in coming to Cai Mao's mansion. At the same time, Li Yu also met Zhou Tai. Xiangyang was still like that during the day. The Xiliang Army did not give up and continued to attack the city. It seemed that they invested more troops than before. Every time the well was close to the city wall, it would always cause waves of panic. Such pressure Next, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei appeared on the city. They didn't understand why the Xiliang army would intensify their attack. Each of the six city gates has dedicated generals in charge. As long as any soldiers dare to approach the city gates, they will immediately drop kerosene, regardless of losses. The siege of the city lasted for a full day. Late at night, the silent city of Xiangyang suddenly burst into flames, and various sounds followed, resounding throughout Xiangyang. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei woke up immediately. After hearing the news of the soldiers' report, A stern look appeared on Liu Bei's face, and he said coldly: "Since these aristocratic families don't know how to praise, don't blame me for being rude." "My lord, be careful of the Cai family." Zhuge Liang reminded. There was a problem with the aristocratic families in the city. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had long been aware of this. When the aristocratic families were in trouble, all the news immediately reached Liu Bei's mansion. The troops in the city quickly mobilized and headed in all directions within the city in an attempt to pacify all the troublemakers as quickly as possible. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were sure that these people must have something to do with the Xiliang army outside the city. Inextricably linked. The defense of the city gate became even tighter. Looking at the dark outside of the city, many defenders secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, at least the Xiliang army had no intention of attacking as long as there was enough time. , the turmoil in the city will be calmed down. Zhuge Liang was well prepared. The troops closest to each incident location quickly arrived and began to quell the rebellion. Those who are just starting out are all small aristocratic families, and even their heads are not among them. "Sir, Cai Hao is missing." Zhuge Liang was shocked and asked: "When?" "Just now, the maid in the mansion discovered that Cai Hao is missing." "Send an order for General Zhang to lead a thousand cavalry to prepare." Zhuge Liang He ordered that Cai Mao's sudden disappearance made him feel uneasy. Cai Mao had always been honest in the house, and there was nothing unusual except that time when Kuai Liang went there. The Kuai family is in trouble. Different from the fights of the small aristocratic families, the Kuai family directly mobilized more than a thousand private soldiers. This is a force that cannot be underestimated. The army in the city is?It is difficult to provide timely support. Not long after the Kuai family took action, the Cai family also started moving, echoing the situation of the Kuai family. Zhang Fei led the army and quickly arrived at the Kuai family's position and began a bloody massacre. More than a thousand private soldiers of the Kuai family How could he compete with the cavalry in Zhang Fei's hands? After a while, there were many casualties. Kuai Liang knowingly hid after his initial appearance. There were constant rebellions in the city, which made Zhuge Liang's expression become more solemn. He had a feeling that things would not be that simple. "The defenders guarding the city gate are strictly ordered not to leave their posts without authorization, but those who approach the city wall will be killed without mercy." "Promise." The soldiers left in a hurry. Zhuge Liang has already been psychologically prepared for the successive rebellions of Cai Mao and Kuai Liang. What he is most worried about now is that the Xiliang army will take the opportunity to attack Xiangyang. Xiangyang is a dead city at this time. Not only Zhuge Liang understands this, but also believes that the aristocratic families in the city are more It is clear that in terms of strength, they are far from being comparable to the defenders. The only hope is that the Xiliang army outside the city can provide timely assistance. Zhou Tai had about 3,000 troops in his hands. He only selected 500 of his most trusted soldiers and went to the South City Gate. The target of the Xiliang Army's successive attacks was also the South City Gate. He knew what he was doing and would It is related to the final life and death of Xiangyang. As soon as Zhou Tai approached the South City Gate, he encountered patrolling soldiers. The turmoil in the city did not affect the defense of the city wall at all. Their defense seemed to have become tighter than before. "Let Mrs. Zhang come to see me." Zhou Tai went up and brought out the main general guarding the south gate. Although the patrolling soldiers did not know Zhou Tai, they also understood that the city was at a critical juncture. Maybe they were ordered to guard the city. After saying wait a moment, they left dozens of soldiers behind and hurried towards the city gate. When the Xiliang army attacked the city, the city gate was the most heavily defended. There were a large number of soldiers guarding both above and below the city gate. "General Zhang, there is a general who is asking to see you. He is not far from the city gate." After Mrs. Zhang saw Zhou Tai, she did not show too much panic and ordered: "Intensify the patrol." After the soldiers left, Mrs. Zhang greeted him Zhou Tai. Dozens of black shadows quickly approached the city gate and started working under the city gate. "General, there is movement below, do you want to throw the kerosene down?" the deputy general rushed to Mrs. Zhang's side and said. "What?" Mrs. Zhang pretended to be surprised and said: "There is movement under the city gate. Take me there as soon as possible." Before leaving, he gave Zhou Tai a look. Zhuge Liang attached great importance to the defense of the city gate. It was Mrs. Zhang. Nor is he one of the main generals guarding the city gate. After Mrs. Zhang pretended to listen for a while, she smiled and said: "General Li is too nervous. It is clearly just a movement coming from the city. He ordered the soldiers to guard closely and report immediately if there is any situation." "General, the city gate " The deputy general said again. "Do your job well, and don't worry about anything else that shouldn't be done. Follow me." Mrs. Zhang's cover was only for a short period of time. Soon other generals heard the news and came to the South City Gate. , were all stopped by Mrs. Zhang. "There is movement at the South City Gate, why don't you use kerosene?" A general came up and scolded. "Who do you think you are? Do I need you to tell me how to do things? I just need to defend your area." "Mrs. Zhang, let me tell you, before leaving, the military advisor strictly ordered us to guard the city gates. There can be no If there is any mistake, could it be that you are collaborating with the enemy? " Zhang Tai suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, slashed at the general without hesitation, and shouted: "This person is a collaborator with the enemy and has been killed by me." " The other people, no matter how slow they reacted, understood that there was something wrong with Mrs. Zhang. They walked slowly in the direction of Mrs. Zhang, and their right hand had already touched the sword at her waist. Mrs. Zhang was well-known in the army and had high martial arts skills. . "Zhang Taitong is a treacherous traitor to the enemy. All officers and men come forward and kill him." A general shouted loudly. Zhou Tai had already controlled the soldiers in charge of kerosene as quickly as possible and sent out 300 soldiers to support Mrs. Zhang. The soldiers guarding the city wall were in a tense state at this time. When they heard the loud shouting and the movement near the South City Gate, they led the soldiers in their hands towards the South City Gate. The five hundred soldiers in Zhou Tai's hands were loyal people. They only obeyed Zhou Tai's orders and killed the defenders of Xiangyang without mercy. Mrs. Zhang also has a certain degree of power in the army, and there are many people who are secretly leaning towards him. The fight between the two sides is in full swing. The rebellion in the city was gradually put down. After Liu Bei learned about the South City Gate, he immediately led a group of?? soldiers went there in person. When Liu Bei approached the south gate, he could only hear the sound of banging and banging. Seven packs of explosives were thrown in at one time. Even if Xiangyang's city gate was strong, a large part of it collapsed under such circumstances. Hearing the situation reported by the soldiers, Huang Zhong had to immediately change his strategy and let the heavy infantry come forward. After hearing the news, more and more Xiangyang defenders came and guarded the south gate tightly. Liu Bei personally supervised the battle. Zhou Tai took the opportunity and shouted: "The Xiliang army has entered the city, and the culprit is Liu Bei. As long as he is killed, the rest are not at fault, and the Xiliang army will let bygones be bygones."
