Chapter 1828: Three Days and Three Nights
It’s not that Liu Qi has done everything. There are always some accidental situations on the battlefield. Liu Qi just grasped one of the accidents.
The fundamental reason is that the gentry in Xiangyang City is really disinterested. At the special juncture of Liu Biao's serious illness, and at the special opportunity of Donghai King and Liu Qi fighting against each other in the north and south, Xiangyang City is full of internal and external difficulties.
The gentry not only communicated with Yang Rui, but also contacted Liu Qi without receiving a response.
What led to this result was definitely not the power of Liu Qi alone, and even the role Liu Qi played was very limited. The most important thing was that the gentry was not optimistic about the final outcome of Xiangyang City, so they had to make plans early.
The reason why the gentry in Xiangyang City had poor prognosis for defending the city was mainly related to Yang Rui's participation, so the final result was that I did not kill Bo Ren but died because of me.
It was a long time later that Yang Rui had to admit that the power of the princes and even the court officials had no room for ease, and the result was often naked.
Of course, Yang Rui did not think of this at this time. When the Yusu Bingguard reported that the north gate of Xiangyang City had been taken down by Liu Qi's internal and external cooperation, he was still very surprised, including the "General Staff" and others.
Originally, Yang Rui was planning to let Liu Qi's army fight to the death with the defenders of Xiangyang City, and the situation would be easier to clean up in the future. No matter which side was the one who laughed to the end, the situation would be easier to control and clean up.
However, at this time, this situation may be a bit far from the expected result.
"The King of Donghai troops have arrived!"
"The King of Donghai troops have siege the city!"
“…”
The North City Gate Passage opened, and coupled with the news that the army of the King of East China Sea troops rushed over, Xiangyang City was suddenly in chaos, and the importance of momentum and situation were once again highlighted. The defense of Xiangyang City, second only to Luoyang Imperial City, was like a buffalo whose hips were bitten by a lion, and suddenly lost most of its resistance.
The troops who were placed by Liu Qi as the "Pseudo-East Sea Army" forced to occupy the North City Gate Tower and quickly gained a foothold in the offense and defense of the entire Xiangyang City.
It seemed that it was not until this time that the defenders in Xiangyang City woke up as if they were dreaming and gradually began to fight back. They were not swallowed by Liu Qi's troops who were rushing to the sky, and a battle between the city walls began.
It is said that it has to be attributed to Liu Cong. As the established heir recognized by Liu Biao, Liu Cong was completely relieved after finding Cai Mao and was scolded.
Turning back, Liu Cong first found Cai Mao's niece and vented it. He couldn't make a good face on his uncle, so he let the other niece bear his anger.
Afterwards, Liu Cong ordered all the imperial guards who could directly control, and the generals directly under the "Gyeonggi" subordinated to drink and chat with them, and encouraged them by the way.
Cai Mao said that he was incomparable to Liu Qi, which directly stimulated Liu Cong's heart. He chose to fight between life and death. Not only was he so simple to communicate with his subordinates, but he also found a reward with the resources he controlled.
The most manifestation of Liu Cong's crazy performance was that Liu Cong took advantage of the name and opportunity of banqueting a group of generals to directly control all the descendants of the generals as hostages through deception, robbery, etc.
When doing these things, Liu Cong knew very well that he would face the defensive battle in Xiangyang City next time, so that a cadre would leave the city to fight back without such an opportunity at this time, and that they would defend the city to the death, but they would have great hope of success.
Xiangyang is famous for its high city and deep chin. As long as it does not face attacks from the heavens of the King of East China, as long as the defenders can work together, it will not be difficult to save the city.
After Xiangyang City was protected, Liu Cong, who had figured it out, seemed to have seen the great loss of his brother Liu Qi, and the scene of his rapid loss of trump card and momentum, becoming a prisoner.
This also once again verifies a true saying in the real world - people are forced out! At the critical moment, people's potential is infinite.
It was Liu Congqi's extraordinary behavior that even though there was an insider in the north gate of Xiangyang City and lost control of the inside and outside, it did not collapse at the first time, but then entered a burning frontal battle.
In the choice of death or death, the "Imperial Guard" army, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Liu Cong, and the Kinki directly under the tribes chose to fight desperately.
Originally, even if they fell into Liu Qi's hands, they might not be able to survive. They would have to give it a try for the sake of their descendants.
As for the inner ghost who opened the North City Gate for Liu Qi, it was the private soldiers raised by a gentry guard and his family. They used their usual accumulated relationships to make a quick change of defense that night, and arranged all the loyal troops at the North City Gate, and also placed the private soldiers under the North City Gate to assist in the garrison.
This person also participated in the "Hongmen Banquet" held by Liu Cong, but because his family was outside, only his concubine's descendants were taken away by Liu Cong, so he made a ruthless decision.
The most important thing is that the family of this person has always had a good relationship with Liu Qi, so this result is also determined by factors in daily life and human relationships...
Liu Qi's troops won many battles and were in full swing. At this moment, the main general "magically" opened the North City Gate with a plan, and the combat power was enlarged to maximize.
Liu Cong's side fought for the continuation of the incense and fought to the death with all his might. Especially after some of his comrades died, the sides of these guards and the elite troops directly under Kinki were highlighted.
It can only be said that Liu Qi's "take-a-first move" won him the opportunity for a head-on decisive battle, and the next decisive battle depends on manpower, material resources, combat power, and willpower.
If the defenders in Xiangyang City were still weaker in terms of willpower, then Liu Biao personally climbed the city with a serious illness, and injected a dose of heart-warming agent into the defenders.
Since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he has done a lot of things. At first, he has been kind and powerful, and has been able to induce things to clear thousands of miles. Later, he has started a classics and studies, which can be regarded as loving the people and supporting the people, and many people are pleased and convinced.
It is precisely because of this support and reputation that the appearance of Liu Biao has greatly boosted the morale of the defenders of Xiangyang City and was also infuriating. Many people's cognition has changed quietly, and the old man has achieved good results. What is Dalang making a fuss?
Therefore, the appearance of Liu Biao also caused the defensive line of the gradual shrinking of the North City Gate to push back, and even almost took down the North City Gate Tower again.
However, Liu Biao's persistence was limited. With his series of coughs, the people who followed him secretly coughed up blood, and Liu Biao had to leave the stage.
Liu Biao came forward to win back a city, and the brothers' fight was inevitable, but the result was that everyone had to rely on their abilities. This battle lasted for three days and three nights!
