The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 711 News of Zhang Fei's Death
After a day of fierce fighting, no matter how hard Wei Yan tried, the outer city of Xiangyang City was still lost. Wei Yan, Chen Dao and others ordered to retreat to the inner city, which is the original city wall of Xiangyang City.

Fortunately, although the city walls of the inner city and the outer city are connected, they are connected by several suspension bridges on the left and right. When Wei Yan retreated, he decisively ordered the suspension bridges to be burned first, otherwise the city of Xiangyang would be destroyed now!

So don't look at Wei Yan's frequent defensive tricks. In fact, the city was broken. In the process of robbing the city, Deng Fang met Yang Zaixing and was assassinated by a single shot. Fu Kuang was killed in battle. Zhang Nan was seriously injured. in the army.

In this case, it is not that Wei Yan is more capable than Guan Yu in commanding troops, but that Guan Erye's clever wife can hardly cook without rice. Although the troops under Wei Yanneng's command are not many, there are 5000 people scattered among the four sects. Soldiers help.

In the Battle of Fancheng, Guan Yu could only use 5000 people. Although he only needed to guard the north and west gates, the mere 500 people had to be matched with other miscellaneous soldiers. He was smashed for a few days and lost a lot before he was attacked by Zhao Yun. Go down to Fancheng.

That night in the Xiangyang prefect's mansion, Liu Bei woke up slowly after the doctor's treatment. When he opened his eyes, he didn't see Zhang Fei, but he saw Chen Dao, Wei Yan and others covered in blood, but he didn't think much about it.

"Yun Chang! Ah!!" Liu Bei shed tears again, obviously very sad. Pang Tong, Wu Yong, Song Jiang, Wei Yan, Chen Dao and others look at me and I look at you. Tell Liu Bei now that Zhang Fei also died in battle!

"The third brother is still holding on to the city? How will the war be like after today?" Liu Bei cried for a long time but almost fainted from crying again. He still didn't see Zhang Fei thinking he was defending the city on the city wall.

"My lord, the three generals have also gone. The outer city of Xiangyang was destroyed and we are now trapped in the inner city." In the end, Pang Tong stepped forward to knock Liu Bei unconscious today. Said the situation of death again.

"Huh? Fei is dead!" Liu Bei blurted out four words when Pang Tong said about Zhang Fei's death, and looked at Pang Tong in shock.

The latter thought Liu Bei was nodding in surprise and sadness. In Pang Tong's view, the successive losses of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a huge impact and was a heavy blow to the morale of the city.

At this moment, Liu Bei stared blankly at the blankness of everyone's minds, and he was not crying, and he ignored the news of the loss of the outer city of Xiangyang.

"Master?" Pang Tong looked at the sluggish Liu Bei and asked a little worriedly.

"I'm a little tired, since Xiangyang is okay, let's go down and rest first." Liu Bei said lightly, and everyone saw that Liu Bei was firm and the weather was indeed too late and retreated on their own.

Wei Yan and Chen Dao were worried about guarding the city and did not return to their rooms, but instead returned to the city wall.

Liu Bei stared blankly at the empty room, recalling everything that happened today in his mind. In the past, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would be very nervous to follow around when he was a little sick, but now it is empty and he is the only one left.

"Second brother! Third brother!..." Liu Bei's mind subconsciously recalled the moment when he became friends with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the moment when he became sworn brother in Taoyuan, the moment when he broke the Yellow Turban, etc., and he couldn't help but shed tears. Consciously falling down again, Liu Bei, who is 43 years old this year and still considered middle-aged, has appeared old.

After learning of Guan Yu's death in the morning, and now learning of Zhang Fei's death, Liu Bei stayed in the room by himself without moving but muttering to himself: "Second brother! Third brother!..."

For Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are his family members, but now he has become a real loner. Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi and their two daughters were captured by Cao Cao when they attacked Runan.

As Liu Bei, it is not a problem to find another wife, but Liu Bei has never planned to marry again, especially because Kou Feng went to Jiangdong, and now he doesn't even have an adopted son...

Liu Bei was alone in the room, thinking a lot and crying for a long time. But no one would know if Liu Bei had any regrets at this moment. If it weren't for his persistence and inner ambition, perhaps Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not have died tragically in their prime.

That's right, although this year is the first year of Kaiyuan, it is only 203 years according to the historical process. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died 17 and 18 years earlier. Guan Feng was still a minor, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were only two years old. Socai was in his infancy.

No one knew what Liu Bei was thinking alone, but Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Sun Li, and Li Kui gathered together to discuss something, only knowing that Li Kui roared again and again and finally returned to calm.

In the outer city of Xiangyang, Du Gao placed part of the army inside the city, and placed most of the army outside the city. Now there is still the inner city of Xiangyang to fight. This inner city is different from the outer city and is divided into several parts. Put so many troops on top.

The narrow inner city leaves less room for attacking the city, which means that it is more difficult to attack the city!

Du Gao sat in the handsome position, with Li Zhu, Liu Ji, Kuai Liang, Kuai Qi, Pan Jun, Lou Fa, Shen Mi, Lai Gong and others on the left, and Zhao Yun, Lu Wenlong, Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, and others on the right. Yang Miaozhen, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, Zhang Qing, Tao Zongwang, Li Yun, Huang Xin and others.

"Marshal, why don't we pull the eight-ox crossbow onto the city wall, and let the craftsmen build floating bridges to break through the inner city!" Li Zhu thought of a feasible way, and Du Gao nodded.

"Mr. Zirou (Zirou, Kuailiang), Mr. Ziting (Ziting, Qiqi), Mr. Chengming (Chengming, Pan Jun), the three gentlemen who have lived in Xiangyang for a long time, do they have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?" Du Gao asked. Kuai Liang, Kuai Qi, and Pan Jun were not so much asking about policies as they were asking if there was any internal support in the city.

"Marshal Qi, when Liu Bei attacked Xiangyang suddenly, Kuai also fled in a hurry and was not arranged in Xiangyang, but I believe that there are still Kuai family members staying in the city, and now the situation is impossible to contact them." Kuai Liang thought about it and was honest. Answer, they have thought about this question a long time ago, but the result is that there is no way to escape in a hurry!There is no arrangement at all!
"Can the leader of Jinyiwei get in touch with the Kuai family forces in Xiangyang City?" Du Gao asked a big man next to him when he heard Kuai Liang's words.

This person is like following Lu Heng at the same time. Jinyiwei is not only an intelligence agency, but also a secret service agency that can sometimes achieve unexpected miraculous effects in wars. Therefore, after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, every marshal will follow a local main attack direction. The commander of Jinyiwei.

"Report to Marshal Du, I will try my best, but it will take some time!" The big man thought for a while and clasped his fists in reply.

"Then I'll give you the command!"

Du Gao's words made Zhang Qing suddenly think of something and told him about today's battle against Sun Li. Even Yang Zhi thought of the same thing and suddenly reported to Du Gao.
