Cao Ren hated the Liennu troops outside the city, but he had no way to do anything about it. Once the Liennu troops released their crossbows, they would not stop. When fighting against heavy cavalry charges, the defense would be more effective.

At the same time, Zhao Yun led the white horse Yi Cong and arrived.

Retreat! Cao Ren shouted, and the Huben army turned their horses and left.

From this attack, Cao Ren felt the Yizhou Army's tight defense.

After hearing the news, Pang Tong laughed and said: It seems that Cao Ren and Zhao Yan had no other option. They wanted to lead the cavalry out of the city to threaten our army, but they did not expect that they would end up like this.

Zhao Yun also had a smile on his face. Although the Yizhou Army's attack method requires a lot of time, as long as it can break through Jiangling, it is enough.

The military advisor's plan had already made Cao Ren feel that danger was approaching, Zhao Yundao said.

In less than two months, our army will definitely be able to conquer Jiangling. Pang Tong said slowly.

Zhao Yun had no objection to these words. According to the current speed, it would only take a month and a half at most to complete the construction of the road outside the city leading to the city wall, and the Yizhou Army could directly attack the enemy's city wall. Besides, even if the enemy wanted to

It is also difficult to destroy this road.

There were tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers who invested in building roads every day. The army officers took turns stepping forward to resist the soil bags and go outside the city, which was a very difficult task.

Two months to conquer Jiangling was enough for Zhao Yun.

Regarding the offensive method adopted by the Yizhou army outside the city, Cao's army in the city had no good way to deal with it. Their bravery had no room to display on the city.

Cao Ren and Zhao Yan also made a lot of efforts, but the dirt roads outside the city were built at an extremely fast speed.

More than a month and ten days later, the road outside the city has been built. The Yizhou army can directly attack Cao's army in Jiangling. Although the road has a slope, it will be a little difficult to charge, which is more difficult than climbing a ladder.

of safety.

After Zhao Yan saw the road outside the city, he also fell silent. Under such circumstances, the defenders in the city could not stop the Yizhou Army's actions outside the city. They could only watch the road being built.

General, now the enemy's strategy has been successful. As expected, the enemy will attack tomorrow at the latest. Zhao Yan said.

Cao Ren looked grave and nodded. He had led the Huben army out of the city many times in an attempt to teach the enemy a lesson. However, the operation failed. The Yizhou army was too defensive. As long as the Huben army appeared,

, they will immediately take a defensive stance, and Bai Ma Yicong will appear soon.

In this case, it will be even more difficult to defend Jiangling. Cao Rendao.

But our army cannot give up Jiangling easily.

Zhao Yan didn't understand the reason. Giving up Jiangling meant that Cao Jun had given up the counties in the south of Jingzhou. At this time, the soldiers and horses in the south counties had been mobilized. Once the army lost its generals, it would have no choice but to retreat to Xiangyang and the south counties.

It will inevitably fall into the hands of the Yizhou Army.

Officials in the southern counties may have a sense of belonging to the imperial court, but it also depends on when. When Cao Jun does not have the strength to defend Jingzhou, they are very likely to become subjects of the Jin State, even if the aristocratic family is there.

Don't dare to resist easily at this time.

They have heard about the way the Jin army treats aristocratic families. The fate of a family that resists is the destruction of the family. This is a point that the Jin army has persisted in, and it has affected the aristocratic families under the rule of other princes, so in

When facing the Jin army, even if a noble family wants to stand on the side of its own army, it must have a thorough plan, otherwise, the consequences will be serious.

There are lessons learned from this kind of thing, so when facing the Jin army, what the family is most willing to do is to stand by and let the Jin army fight with their own army. If one side can win, they will follow the trend.

Take refuge.

But do the lieutenant generals understand that they allow the family to behave like this? In the process of defending the city, they also rely heavily on the power of the family. At the same time, they also have to prevent the family from making betrayal. The family has no regard for Lu Bu.

Although I hate his strategy, there is no guarantee that some of them will not support Lu Bu.

Over the years, there have been many connections between the aristocratic family and Chang'an. How could Lu Bu not have other means?

The next day, the Yizhou Army gathered 30,000 troops and came to the west of the city. Facing the Yizhou Army officers and soldiers who were about to attack, the west city did not increase the number of defenders because the Yizhou Army's Thunder Chariots had not stopped. The only way to increase the number of troops on the city was to

Just die.

However, there are ten thousand Cao Jun soldiers in the city waiting in full formation. As soon as the enemy attacks, they will rush to the city wall and drive the enemy away.

Zhao Yun smiled and said: Military advisor, I don’t want the enemy to give up the city under such circumstances.

Jiangling is an important city in Jingzhou. If Cao Ren retreats, what will happen to the supply of food and grass in the city? It is said that there is still a lot of food and grass in the city. If our army can get it, there is no need to worry about the problem of food and grass. Pang Tong said.

In the opinion of military advisors, how should we attack the city? Zhao Yun asked.

Pang Tong frowned and thought for a moment and said: General Zhao, when our army attacks the city wall at this time, it must be when the defenders are at their weakest. The generals can easily scale the city wall. If elite troops are sent, the effect will be greater.

Zhao Yun nodded, and thousands of soldiers climbed onto the city wall together, and subsequent armies would continue to come forward. It would be extremely difficult for Cao Jun to defend. Once the city wall was captured, Cao Jun would be doomed.

At this time, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army no longer needed to attack from the city gate, and the enemy's advantage on the city had been completely eliminated.

General, if the enemy loses its general, it will definitely retreat to Xiangyang. Xiangyang is an important city in Jingzhou. General, make preparations early. Pang Tong reminded.

With military advisors here, why worry about not being able to conquer Xiangyang? Zhao Yun said with confidence.

After Pang Tong heard these words, he did not object. As a counselor, he must have enough confidence in his own strategy. Moreover, Pang Tong has experienced many wars before, and many powerful opponents died due to his strategies.

Cao's army is indeed elite, but Pang Tong is confident of defeating Cao's army.

What happened in Jiangling is a good illustration. As long as the Yizhou army enters the city, the current situation is beyond the control of Cao's army. After defeating the general, the situation will be extremely favorable to the Jin army.
