Once the besiege of Xiangyang is not over, the princes of Jingbei will lead the navy to return to the rescue, block the Han River, cut off the rear route, and attack Xiangyang will be wiped out.

After attacking Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian tried to attack Liu Biao's Xiangyang City, which means that Sun Wentai crossed the river to attack Liu Biao, but died in battle.

The princes occupying Jingbei were ten times more fierce than Liu Biao.

In addition, attacking Xiangyang City now is equivalent to staying with the princes of Jingbei. At that time, the opponent will continue to attack Nanyang, and a large number of main forces will be restrained in the Jingbei area.

This is a situation that Zhang Hua, who was eager to conquer the Central Plains, did not want to see.

After repeated weighing, Zhang Hua still believes that there is no need to provoke a dragon when he has the advantage.

To the north of Xinye City, Duan Shao, a famous general in the Northern Qi Dynasty who was responsible for cutting off Gao Huan's rear, was trapped in the siege of three cavalry generals, Chen Qingzhi, Yang Ye and Deng Ai. The White Robe Army, Yang Family Army, and Changshui Hu Cavalry tried to strangle Duan Shao's fire crossbow team.

Unexpectedly, Duan Shao actually used a carriage to form a circular formation, and then tens of thousands of crossbows were fired at the same time, severely damaging the cavalry legion of three cavalry generals. Even Yang Ye was hit by several arrows, and Duan Shao was delayed a lot of time.

"The three generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Duan Shao, are among the best in military use, especially in chariot formations and crossbows. After he delayed this time, Gao Huan had already escaped into the Xinye Realm."

"The Xinye Land is the territory of the princes. If we cross the line, we might be hostile to the other party. What should we make a decision?"

"Gao Huan did this on purpose, and wanted us to attack Xinye, he might take the opportunity to wander somewhere else."

“It’s really tricky.”

"Don't worry about long-term things too long. Capturing Duan Shao alive is also a big gain. After all, even if Gao Huan is captured alive, he will not serve the lord."

Chen Qingzhi, Yang Ye, and Deng Ai trapped Duan Shao's fire crossbow team.

Although Duan Shao's fire crossbow team was a tough guy, Gao Huan had already fled to the south, Duan Shao was isolated and helpless, and could not fly.

Three elite cavalry repeatedly attacked Duan Shao's chariot formation, and thousands of cavalry were killed by Duan Shao, which shows Duan Shao's effectiveness.

Duan Shao, Huluguang, and King Lanling, were also known as the three generals of Northern Qi. They were the mainstays of Northern Qi. Capturing Duan Shao alive would be a great achievement.

The three generals of Northern Qi, the Xia army had already captured Lanling King in the previous battle, and now they trapped Duan Shao again. Gao Huan had few good generals under him.

"Your Majesty, this is the last chance that I will win for you... Bypass Xinye, Fancheng, collect ships, cross the Han River overnight, and suddenly the troops came to Xiangyang City. The princes of Xiangyang City were not there, and their defense was empty. They might surrender because of fear, just like Deng Ai's plan to eliminate Shu Han!"

Before this, Duan Shao specially studied with Gao Huan how to quickly capture Xiangyang City and proposed this plan.

But even Duan Shao himself knew how low the success rate was to reproduce Deng Ai's strategy of "smuggling through Yinping and taking directly to Shu Han".

Not to mention Gao Huan's ability, if this strategy is successful, there are people like Liu Chan in Xiangyang City who take the initiative to surrender under pressure.

Otherwise, the success rate of the strategy of attacking Xiangyang with tens of thousands of remaining soldiers was infinitely close to zero.

At this time, Gao Huan had no choice but to act according to this strategy.

"The time is almost over. There is no need to resist unnecessary things. Many soldiers raise white flags."

Duan Shao saw that the Xia army was catching up with more and more troops, and he guessed that Gao Huan had already started a surprise attack on Xiangyang City as planned, so he led the besieged Northern Qi fire crossbow team to surrender to Chen Qingzhi, Yang Ye and Deng Ai.
