Chen Yang set up camp and rested for almost a while, then came to the moat and looked at the other side. Unexpectedly, the guards of Xiangyang even expanded the moat to this extent in order to stop their pace of going south.

He asked someone to investigate the moat, but simply connected to the river outside. The water flow was not fast or very smooth, but the span of the river was very wide and looked very deep.

"Lord, are we going to cross the river with a floating bridge?"

Zhang Liao said after reading it.

Chen Yang said: "The enemy generals watched from the other side of the river and would not give us the opportunity to cross the river with a floating bridge. As long as we do, they would hit him halfway. Their purpose of doing this was to cover Sima Yi's escape, so they would try every means to delay us here."

Zhang Liao looked at the wide moat and said worriedly: "What should we do? Otherwise, we will give up attacking Xiangyang and go to chase Sima Yi?"

"This is not possible!"

Chen Yang looked at Xiangyang, made a simple judgment, and said, "There are at least 50,000 guards in Xiangyang City. If we go to chase Sima Yi, they can attack Xinye, and they will have to come back in the end."

Zhang Liao scratched his head and said, "It's very troublesome!"

Chen Yang disagreed with this and said, "It's not too troublesome. I have a way to solve it. Go back and ask all the soldiers to prepare a large number of cloth bags."

Zhang Liao couldn't understand the meaning of this operation, but after Chen Yang gave this order, he followed it all and quickly passed the order back.

Chen Yang looked to the other side of the river for a while, and then went back to the main account to rest.

Seeing that Chen Yang finally left, Zheng Wen breathed a sigh of relief and didn't have to fight.

If he takes action, he will not be confident to compete with Chen Yang.

"Be careful. When you see any abnormal movements on Chen Yang, come back and tell me immediately!"

Zheng Wen passed on his orders.

The soldiers did not dare to neglect or rest, and they all stared at Chen Yang on the other side of the river, and this state continued until the next morning.

It was just dawn and before Zheng Wen woke up, soldiers came over to wake him up.

"General, Chen Yang has some movement!"

When Zheng Wen heard that he was completely sleepy and felt that something was wrong, he hurried outside and saw that Chen Yang's soldiers were dumping the dirt bag by bag into the moat.

He looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "It turns out that Chen Yang is the case. I thought he could have any way to cross the river, which is not worth mentioning."

In Zheng Wen's opinion, it was almost impossible to kill him by landfilling the moat. Even if he could do it, Sima Yi would have gone far away long ago.

The moat is so wide and deep, when will they have to fill it?

Zheng Wen continued: "It's enough to look at them, so don't take the initiative."

The other side.

Chen Yang could guess Zheng Wen was disdainful of him, but he was indifferent and mobilized tens of thousands of troops in the army to dump the soil in the cloth bag into the moat.

But as soon as the soil enters the water, it is washed away by the river, which looks futile and in vain.

"If you do this, it's better to hit the pontoon bridge and kill him."

Gu Jie shook her head and said.

"The swaying bridge is very unstable. It is not as effective as mine, and it will be successful soon."

Chen Yang was very confident and didn't mind their doubts.

The amount of soil for each tens of thousands of troops was still huge. From the morning to the afternoon, Chen Yang finally filled out a dam.

Despite this, it still doesn't work and is easily washed away by water.

"Tonight, everyone will take turns to rest. You don't need to pour out the soil and throw it into the water together."

Chen Yang ordered again: "Wenyuan, send someone back to Xinye and Wancheng immediately and ask them to prepare a large number of cloth bags to bring them over."

Doing this during the day is just Chen Yang's way of confusing the enemy.

After night, cloth bags were thrown into the moat one by one. The soil did not disperse after it was penetrated into the water, and the binding of the cloth bag sank directly into the bottom of the water.

As time goes by, when dawn is approaching, Chen Yang and the others have already filled a wide passage in the moat, and have penetrated deep into the middle of the moat to intercept most of the water flow.

Because they took turns to rest, the soldiers never stopped from night to dawn, and some people kept carrying cloth bags and throwing them into the water.

The soldiers of Jin army on the other side of the river were all stunned when they saw this. They had been lazy last night and why did the changes change so much after waking up? Someone hurriedly told Zheng Wen again.

When he walked to the river, Zheng Wen was also confused. Today was completely different from yesterday. He hurriedly said, "Chen Yang is really cunning, fight back immediately!"

Soon, soldiers from the Jin army bent their bows and arrows to shoot at Chen Yang's soldiers.

The soldiers dropped their cloth bags and hurriedly retreated, withdrawing from the enemy's range.

"Pull out the cannon!"

Chen Yang waved his hand when he saw it.

Zhang Liao immediately asked someone to pull the cannon up and bombard the archer opposite him with a cannon.

boom!

A loud bang fell and the enemy archer was blown away on the spot.

"Pull out our artillery and fight back!"

Zheng Wen was very unwilling to let Chen Yang succeed.

However, as soon as the Jin army's artillery appeared, Chen Yang and his artillery bombarded them and a shell directly destroyed them.

"continue!"

Chen Yang said.

The soldiers kept digging soil to fill the river.

As long as the enemy blocks it slightly, they will hit him in one shot, making Zheng Wen completely useless.

It was not until the afternoon when the passage was filled out was about to reach the other side of the river. Chen Yang ordered not to fill it again. Finally, he paved with wooden boards and prepared a shield. Under the cover of artillery, he successfully reached the other side of the moat.

As soon as they landed, they first launched a murderous attack on the enemy and pressed the guards of Xiangyang to the ground to rub them.

Zheng Wen ordered everyone to retreat back to the city, and did not dare to fight Chen Yang's troops.

Chen Yang and the others crossed the passage and came to the city of Xiangyang. The gun was aimed at the entrance of the city gate where Zheng Wen had retreated just now. They bombarded them with a shot. Before they could block it, the city gate was easily broken.

"Go and block it quickly, don't let Chen Yang come in!"

Zheng Wen shouted in panic.

He could not have expected that Chen Yang's troops had already broken through the city gate after less than three days after he was at the city gate.

All the archers of the Jin army stood beside the city gate, bent their bows and arrows to suppress the soldiers who were about to rush in.

"Give me a shield, I'll help you kill in first!"

Gu Jie took the initiative to propose.

"good!"

Chen Yang agreed without thinking.

The shield was ready soon, and Gu Jie asked someone to take the shield to approach the city gate, and most of the arrows from the enemy were blocked.

"shot!"

Gu Jie calculated the gaps in their replacement arrows and ordered people to shoot. The gunshots were deafening in an instant. The archers of the Jin army were caught off guard and had no chance to dodge, and fell one after another.

Chen Yang ordered someone to prepare a ladder, raise his shield, and climb to the city tower in Xiangyang with the rain of arrows from the city tower.

"kill!"
Chapter completed!
