Chapter 1118

Xu Chen had 8000 troops in his hands, and 1000 people were scattered along the road. These people were ready to intercept the incoming and outgoing heralds.

On several main roads in the city, blockade them, and the army will pass them. But if it's a messenger, no matter which side, none of them will pass.

They can't stop the army, but they are more effective in stopping the heralds.

If the defenders of the four gates can't contact each other, it's too good for them.

After making arrangements, Xu Chen immediately led his troops to Ximen.

At this time, the army of Tang Dynasty was attacking Ximen, attacking fiercely.

On the top of the city, there are thousands of Cao's troops, thousands of Jingzhou's troops, and under the gate, there are more than 2000 people, all of them Jingzhou's troops.

"Kill, open the gate."

After Xu Chen had a preliminary understanding of the situation, he did not hesitate and ordered to attack the gate.

Three thousand regular troops of the Tang Dynasty were the vanguards, and seven thousand of them were killed together.

The troops guarding the city gate thought they were reinforcements at first, but when they got close, they attacked him.

Xu Chen attacked and soon opened the gate.

The army outside, led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, came in and surrounded Cao's barracks as planned.

Cao Jun already knew the situation, and assembled the army to stand by.

But they have not received Cao Ren's order.

Not only that, they don't know what happened in Xiangyang City, so they can only stand by and defend the city as planned.

General Cao ordered us to stick to the barracks, but they had no way to get information.

Cao Ren, with more than 20000 people, rushed to the east gate to gather his troops and then break through.

But when he was just halfway there, he met the army of the Tang Dynasty.

The east gate was broken long ago. Cao's camp in the east gate was surrounded, and some soldiers and horses were surrounded.

Cao Ren is blocked.

Soon, Zhang Yu and Dian Wei killed him from behind.

The two armies began to attack Cao Ren's army.

At the north gate, Zhou Yu and tens of thousands of people were attacking.

But soon he received news that three gates had fallen.

"Terrible, how many insiders are there in the city? I'm afraid it's dangerous. "

Zhou Yu has known the plan for a long time, but whether Zhang Yu's plan can be completed is still unknown.

Now, Zhou Yu has no doubt, Zhang Yu's plan should be very easy.

Huang Zhong came up and said, "the three gates have been broken. The north gate will not last long. The whole army is ready to charge."

Zhou Yu nodded, which is true.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour's attack, the troops of Jingzhou in the city were scattered, and only Cao's army was resisting.

The troops guarding the city gate simply gave up the city gate and opened the city to surrender.

There were wars all over the place, and the enemy came in. There was no need for them to resist.

The army of the Tang Dynasty broke through the four gates.

A large number of Jingzhou troops surrendered directly and then turned to attack Cao Jun.

Cao's barracks were surrounded.

Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong also led their troops to attack Cao's barracks.

Cao Jun, several gates can't echo each other.

Cao's army was divided into several parts. The garrison was not with the army in the barracks, nor were the troops in the four gates.

At the beginning, such a distribution was also considered. Cai Mao did not dare to let them control a wall alone, so he separated them.

In this way, the disadvantages were exposed, and Cao's army had the possibility to break through.

However, being divided into several parts and surrounded separately, none of them can run.

Cao Ren was surrounded in the middle, and several other barracks were also surrounded.

Xiangyang City is in a mess. There are shouts everywhere.

There was fighting near several gates, but mainly with Cao Jun.

At least half of the soldiers in Jingzhou surrendered.

Some of them "revolted" on the battlefield and directly turned to attack Cao Jun.

Cao's army suffered a fierce attack. The army of the Tang Dynasty was already powerful, and then the troops of Jingzhou attacked together.

In the palace, Cai Mao was awakened in his sleep.

Originally, he was going to lead the troops to fight the rebellion, but suddenly the four gates were broken, so there was no need for him to lead the troops to fight the rebellion.

"What happened? What happened? "

"Why did they go to town, why?"

"Come on, go and have a look. What's the situation now?"

Cai Mao has been in a mess.

Many scouts were sent out in the palace, but they were not able to send back the news and were intercepted on the way.

Similarly, many people who were sent to the palace to deliver messages were also intercepted.

Half an hour after they entered the city, Cai Mao did not know the details.

They also realized the problem.

"Cai Tongling, you take people to check in person. I want to know the specific information."

Cai Mao couldn't help but sent several groups of scouts, but they couldn't bring back the news.

A few scouts went out to get some information, but when they knew the situation, they immediately lost their weapons and ran away.

At this time, the situation could not be clearer.

Cai Mao's palace is blind.

Cai Mao had to send out Cai Tongling.

Cai Tong brought in more than 2000 people.

Sure enough, after he went out, no one intercepted him. There were more than 2000 people, and the people arranged by Xu Chen couldn't intercept him. It's no problem to let them go. When they get to the battlefield, what's the use of the two thousand people, commander Cai.

Cai Tong made a rapid progress.

"What's going on ahead?" On the street in the middle of the city, Cai Tong met a group of people on patrol.

"Report to the general that there is a rebellion in the east gate and the south gate. We sent several waves of people to inquire, but there is no specific information."

Cai Tongling had no doubt, thought about it, and then led the people on.

Cai Tong led him away, but he was very tragic. Before long, when he came to the battlefield, he was scattered by the army of the Tang Dynasty who was killed in another direction.

Now, Zhang Yu and his troops surrounded several Cao battalions and began to separate their troops to control other troops in the city.

Today's Jingzhou soldiers and horses, in addition to the soldiers and horses guarding around the palace, are either scattered or surrendered.

Of course, there are many soldiers and horses guarding the warehouse. Zhang Yu didn't arrange for anyone to move them.

There are hundreds of them scattered everywhere, more than 1000 people, these people help him to guard the warehouse.

In the palace, Cai Mao waited for the news.

After Cai Tong took it out, he couldn't come back.

After his army was broken up, he rushed back with dozens of people, but after passing through the blocked streets, they were stopped.

"You, you are fake." Cai Tongling said in surprise.

Unfortunately, he understood too late. Hundreds of people rushed up to chop them, then dragged the bodies away and wiped the blood off the ground.

That night, the city was surrounded by shouts of killing, and everyone was shivering at home, which was terrible.
