Xiangyang is filled with sorrow.

Wei Xuan was defeated, Tian Hong'anzhou was defeated and retreated to Suizhou, and the Zhou army under the command of Yuwen Zhi in Xiangyang was in a state of grief. The entire military camp seemed to be sitting on a powder barrel. As long as a spark was used, it would explode with a "bang".

Although the court frequently compiled books and said that it would come to support, the troops sent by the governor of Qianzhou had also bypassed Fengzhou, but things had reached this point. Yuwen Zhi knew that in front and behind him, various military and horse associations of Qi army were coming continuously. Gao Changgong's next target was the company camp next to the Mianshui River. As long as this place was solved, Xiangyang was almost blocked, and it was just a lonely boat in the vast ocean, which could be overturned at any time.

Gao Changgong came out of Nanyang. Since most of the troops were previously transferred to rescue Wei Xiangyuan, the speed of the army marched much slower than before.

The Qi army also brought a lot of siege equipment and brought some heavy weapons such as bed crossbows to defend the city.

Lu Tongbuzhi had only eight thousand defenders in the Mianshui camp, but the terrain was dangerous and it was difficult to attack. At the beginning, Gao Changgong fell into a tough battle.

Gao Changgong led the elite troops to attack the Zhou army camp of Mianshui and threw the rear to his deputy Wei Xiangyuan.

Gao Changgong was good at fighting in mountains and plains, and was famous for his good at long-distance raids and tough battles. However, Wei Xiangyuan was not the case. Looking at the entire Hedong general, except Dugu Yongye, no one was better at defense than him. During the fierce battle in Fenzhou, Wei Xiangyuan dragged the Zhou army to Yiyang for several months, winning a lot of time for Duan Shao and Huluguang. His main force retreated from Zhejiang and showed a defensive posture, which was the most appropriate arrangement.

When he was drawing troops to prevent Wei Xuan, Gao Changgong did not forget to test Xiangyang, and naturally he knew the defense of Xiangyang's city.

Although Mianshui is an important pass in Xiangyang, the methods of guarding Lu Tong's guards were just a few. However, the advantage was that they had rich experience and keen intuition. Gao Changgong handed over the command of the vanguard army to Yang Su, who was fully responsible for conquering the Zhou army camp of Mianshui.

Yang Su's move was not as unfamiliar as the new generals. On the contrary, he was very cruel and vicious, and he would rescue the enemy if he attacked him. After several unnecessary attrition battles with Lu Tong, he finally discovered the weakness of Lu Tong's defense arrangement. In the Mianshui camp, there was a mountain with an unpredictable terrain and no one was stationed. Yang Su personally led 500 elite troops to bypass this place, cross the Mianshui, and then turned around to counter Lu Tong's central camp.

The Qi army attacked inside and outside. In a hurry, the Zhou army was in chaos and was defeated. Lu Tong was shot with an arrow during the chaos, and then his personal soldiers desperately fled back to Xiangyang. At this point, the last barrier in Xiangyang was uprooted.

Fortunately, Lai Yuwen Zhi was not completely confused yet, so he hurriedly dispatched troops to help.

Yang Su's plan to chase and kill Zhou's army in large numbers failed.

Although the fire lost a lot of food, grass, arrows and various supplies, the troops were protected to the greatest extent.

Yuwen led his army to rush forward. Although there were many defenses around him, it was inevitable that he would be injured. Lao Gao, who was swollen from the wound, could only lie on his horse every day.

On that day, he was supervising the battle on the city wall, and there was a quick Malay report.

The Zhou army's squadron cavalry kept running all the way. After arriving in Xiangyang, they fell to the ground and fainted before they could say the first half. Yuwen Zhi felt like a heavy hammer hit him. He quickly glanced at the contents and couldn't help but scream, and fell to the ground with a frightened, frightened and fearful look.

The generals and personal soldiers poured water and pinched the doctor, and finally woke him up. After waking up, he still held the military newspaper tightly in his hand and cried loudly in front of the generals:

"Now that our army is defeated, we will surely die!

"Wei Xuan failed the surprise attack, General Tian Hongtian was defeated and died, Wang Lin's bandits were bloody and slaughtered Suizhou, and Shunzhou surrendered in sight!

"From today, we are all thieves who are fish and meat on the table, and cattle and sheep on the knife!"

If he had fantasy before, he had hoped that Wei Xuan, Tian Hong succeeded, and Xiangyang still had a chance of vitality, then now, he was already disheartened and as if dead. In this situation, let alone he could not make up for the truth, even if his father Yuwen Tai was still alive, he would still be powerless to turn the world back!

The two Qi troops, Gao Changgong from the north, had already attacked the city. Wang Lin behind him destroyed Tian Hong and would soon send troops north to form a siege against Xiangyang. Old Lu Teng was too busy to take care of himself, and the states west of Xiangyang were weak. Not to mention whether they could open up the access to Fengzhou, even if they detoured, it would take a lot of time. Xiangyang... is over!

Yuwen Zhi has been pampering since childhood. Although he is self-pretentious, he is in trouble. After all, fear is overcoming the calmness of self-sustainment.

Lu Tong had a bandage wrapped around his shoulder and stepped forward to persuade:

"The general doesn't have to panic. The battle situation changes rapidly. You can't easily say victory or defeat until the last moment...

"Although the Qi army swept the rear, the reinforcements from all directions of our dynasty are still gathering in the western front of Fengzhou.

"The current fierce attack of Gao Changgong just shows that the Qi army is in a tight battle. He wants to fight quickly and return to Fengzhou after taking Xiangyang. Our army only needs to be firm in defending the city. The general leads the way and boosts morale. Xiangyang City can definitely be defended!

"The general protects Xiangyang, which means protecting half of our Zhou Kingdom, the southeast gateway. This is enough to be the king!"

Lu Tong was so scheming. As soon as he said this, Yuwen Zhi was crying and stopped. What did Yuwen Zhi want the most now? Of course, it is to be the king! But Yuwen Zhi’s military achievements and prestige are not good. Even if he follows Yuwen Hu’s butt every day, he flatters and secretly sends out a lot of trouble, Yuwen Hu doesn’t want to be a bird at all. The title of King of Northern Zhou is not lightly, and Yuwen Zhi wants to get the title of King of Kings, so he must make great achievements to splash the sky.

Lu Tong's words were just right in his heart. Yu Wenzhi, who was originally planning to surrender, suddenly became energetic. Yes, all the troops were defeated, and I still stayed there... Oh, I was defending Xiangyang to the death and passed it back to the court. When it comes to merit, I must be the first to make a contribution! The title of king is just around the corner! So Yu Wenzhi then defended Xiangyang to the death, relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers and the solidity of the city, and survived several rounds of attacks by the Qi army.

Fengzhou was in an emergency, and Yuwen Hu sent General Xin Wei of the Zhu Kingdom (strictly speaking, it was not Zhu Kingdom, but in order to increase the weight of the head coach, it should be fine to write like this.), Guo Rong, the general of the army, was in charge of the head coach and the deputy commander, coordinated various reinforcements, fought with the Qi army on the western front, and the Qi army was defeated, and Xun County was lost again. The enemy troops were divided into different routes and besieged Fengzhou and Wudang. The entire western front was in crisis. Gao Changgong had no choice but to transfer the army to the west, leaving only a few thousand troops to continue to siege Xiangyang.

Yuwen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Xiangyang can be protected!" In his opinion, the main force of the Qi army was just Gao Changgong, and Wang Lin had not been taken seriously by him.

He was already very arrogant and naturally didn't look down on Wang Lin, who had an absolute advantage and took Anzhou and was still slapping Suizhou.

In his opinion, as long as he put tens of thousands of people from Xiangyang out to fight Wang Lin, he could easily destroy Wang Lin, which could be regarded as a cowardly breath that was suppressed by Gao Changgong!

With Lu Tong's persuasion, Yuwen Zhi chose to be a little more conservative approach and sent a small group of troops to test it, while he sat firmly behind him. But soon, he would fall into despair.
