Chapter 618 The Shu army is actively preparing for war, and Yang Guang is strong and clear!
When Yuwen Chenglong and others rushed to the south gate, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows from the Shu army. The sharp arrows fell like a downpour. Yuwen Chenglong and his soldiers were instantly pricked into hedgehogs. They looked unwilling to do so.
My heart fell into a pool of blood!
"Kill me and leave no one alive!!!"
The roar of tiger power resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Shu soldiers once again drew their bows and set arrows. Arrows fell one after another, killing all the Jingzhou troops in Fangling City, and no one was spared.
After a fierce battle, the Shu army finally captured Fangling City, and all the defenders in the city were annihilated, leaving no one alive!
After the battle, the three Huli brothers, Ji Chang and other generals came to the tower and looked at the tragic situation in the city. They were filled with emotion.
Huli looked at the ruins in front of him and the corpses lying in a pool of blood. He sighed deeply. Although the Shu army won this war, the Shu army also paid a huge price. Many people were on the battlefield for the first time.
Young soldiers lost their precious lives in order to attack the city, and the families behind them will also be broken...
Ji Chang stepped forward, patted Hu Li on the shoulder, and then comforted him: "General Hu Li, if you are kind and do not control the army, this is the price of war. We have no choice for the general!"
Huli nodded with complicated eyes. He knew that Ji Chang was right. Nowadays, we are in troubled times. Since they have chosen to join the army, they can only keep fighting for their survival and ideals.
"Now that Fangling City has been captured, the next task is to guard Fangling City and go north to attack Shangyong. This candidate to guard Fangling City..."
Before General Huli finished speaking, he was interrupted by the generals behind him.
"The final general is willing to stay and guard Fangling!"
"General, let me stay!"
"I do too!"
Looking at the excited generals, General Huli laughed loudly with joy. He replied with sonorous words: "I am very pleased that the generals are so thoughtful, but the task of guarding Fangling City is of great importance and cannot be tolerated."
There was a mistake, so I decided to personally guard Fangling, and you can follow General Jichang and General Zhang Ren to attack Shangyong!"
After hearing Hu Li's words, all the generals responded in unison: "I will obey your orders!"
"General Ji Chang, I leave it to you to attack Shangyong. I will be responsible for guarding Fangling and preventing Jingzhou's army from going north and Yang Guang's army from going south."
Ji Chang clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General Huli, we will live up to our trust and capture Shangyong!"
Huli nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the generals and said loudly: "Everyone, although we captured Fangling today, we must not take it lightly. Shangyong is an important stronghold of the Jingzhou Army.
The general is one of the best in Jingzhou, and we will definitely encounter strong resistance on this trip. You should fight bravely to kill the enemy and make great achievements!"
When all the generals heard this, they all responded in unison: "General, I will obey your orders!"
After a simple handover of military power, the three Huli brothers led seven thousand elite soldiers to guard Fangling, while Ji Chang and Zhang Ren led the army to leave Fangling City and march towards Shangyong.
The army led by Ji Chang and others marched all the way, and all they saw along the way was desolate land, and the people were displaced and homeless because of the war.
Looking at the suffering people along the way, generals such as Ji Chang and Zhang Ren felt sad. They secretly made up their minds to end this war as soon as possible and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous age!
After several days of marching, the Shu army finally arrived near Shangyong City and successfully joined forces with the Liu-eared Macaque and Fan Kuai armies.
The Shu army sent a large army to Shangyong, and it was difficult for the Jingzhou army to detect their whereabouts. Yang Guang, Yang Su and Yang Zheng, who were responsible for guarding Shangyong, had already received the news from the scouts that the Shu army was about to attack Shangyong.
And make complete defense preparations in advance.
I saw the military flags flying on the top of the city, and the large banner with the word 'Yang' written on it swaying in the wind, like a tall pine tree standing tall in the sky, standing firm in the strong wind, and in the aisles of the city wall, there were countless defensive materials piled up.
, and there are a large number of Jingzhou Army soldiers standing ready, and the atmosphere is quite tense!
"Report to General Yang. According to the reports from the scouts, the Shu army has captured Fangling. General Yuwen Chenglong died in the battle!"
Just when Yang Guang climbed up the city wall and overlooked the large Shu army that was encamped outside the city and making fires for cooking, his trusted soldiers suddenly came in a hurry and told him the news of Fangling's fall.
"What! Fangling fell and Yuwen Chenglong died in battle? Too bad, the Shu army is trying to cut off our retreat!"
After Yang Guang learned about the fall of Fangling, he instantly understood the Shu army's intention, which was to cut off their way back to Jingzhou. It seemed that the Shu army's attack on Shangyong was to destroy them.
!
Realizing that the situation was critical, Yang Guang immediately sent someone to report the news to Yang Su, Yang Xuangan, Yang Zheng, Han Zengshou, Yuwen Chengxiang, Yuwen Zhiji and other generals, and then began to think about countermeasures.
"Now that Fangling has been lost, our army's retreat has been cut off, and the situation is very unfavorable to us." Yang Guang frowned and said worriedly.
"That's true, but Shangyong City has high walls and thick walls. We still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers and countless materials to defend the city. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defend Shangyong."
Yang Su's words were sonorous and powerful, and his words seemed to give Yang Guang a reassurance, and his originally restless heart became calm and calm at this time.
Yang Zheng echoed with firm eyes: "What General Yang Su said is true. We cannot emulate others' ambitions and destroy our own prestige. We must go all out to defend Shangyong and wait for reinforcements from Jingzhou to arrive."
Seeing that all the generals present were full of confidence, Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction. He pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed it at the outside of Shangyong City, and then said with sonorous words: "I have sent people back to Jingzhou to ask for help.
Now, what we have to do is to strengthen the city defense, prepare the defense equipment, and at the same time pay close attention to the movements of the Shu army and be ready for battle at any time."
As a result, Yang Guang and others began to actively deploy matters to defend the city, ordering his soldiers to strengthen the city defense, repair the damaged city walls, and prepare rolling logs, stones, gold juice, boiling water, arrows and other defensive equipment. At the same time, they also sent people to closely monitor the city.
Monitor the movements of the Shu army and be ready to respond to the Shu army's attack at any time.
On the other side, at the Shu army camp outside Shangyong City, after Ji Chang and Zhang Ren learned that Yang Guang and others were ready to defend the city, they did not choose to attack the city immediately, but chose to stand still.
, first let the soldiers recharge their batteries and wait for the best opportunity to attack.
In this way, the two sides temporarily fell into a stalemate, and no one took the initiative to launch an attack!
