Because of Li Su's decisiveness, Zhao Yun only delayed a few days and launched a new offensive against Lingling.

With the support of Xiangjiang River water transportation, Zhao Yun was not afraid of building a catapult car when attacking Qiyang County, which would waste manpower and material resources - the load of the ship is much larger than that of the vehicle. After the catapult car is used up, it can be dismantled into several large components and loaded between ships and transported away. Next time, it will be used to attack Quanling County, the county seat next time.

While asking the craftsmen in the army to build a catapult, Zhao Yun also asked the soldiers to speak according to the new lines, attacking the heart first, and disintegrating the morale of the defenders.

With Li Su's guidance, this time's tactic of persuading surrender has changed from the initial accusation of "relying on the thief of the clan, threatening the superiors to be appointed as officials, and carrying out separatist rule" to "Li Jue and Guo Si who colluded with Zhang Jin to commit suicide by tyranny, helping the evil and destroying the plan to rescue the Northern Expedition."

What a useful name for starting a military career. Originally, he had to help Liu Biao stand out, but now he doesn't even need to mention Liu Biao, and he directly designated the enemy he was going to beat as a thief accomplice.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the thieves of Jingnan Sect who cannot see the situation clearly, have no knowledge after being trapped for a long time, and cannot come up with one or two political-suggested staff around you. I think Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and even Yuan Shu a little recognize Li Jue and Guo Si, but I think it would be fine if they also recognize Li Jue and Guo Si.

Little did they know that there were two princes in the world who least recognized Li Jue and Guo Si, namely Liu Bei and Sun Jian, and they could be justified in choosing the warlords who recognized Li Jue and Guo Si as the most resolute to fight.

It took only a few days to build a catapult and swear to surrender. The two armies were in a stalemate until the end of April. With the completion of the catapult on April 26, Chen Ying, who was guarding Qiyang County, began to suffer a lot.

The counterweight catapult car was smashed for only a few hours, and the defenders had already suffered heavy losses. The key is that it was difficult to fight back when they were beaten for nothing, which was too harmful to morale.

The low rammed earth wall in Qiyang County was quickly smashed into pieces. The soldiers who were forced by Chen Ying to carry the soil to repair the blocked mouth were also bleeding from the rain of gravel mixed between large stone bullets from time to time, and the death was terrible.

In a remote small county like Lingling, which is close to the mountains and Vietnam, which is mixed with barbarians, the construction power is weak, and most of the city walls are built like fun.

The location of Qiyang City relies on Jiuyi Mountain, hoping to provide some defense based on the mountain situation. It is definitely a future without a single wall.

On the night of the 26th, Chen Ying began to think: There are only two or three thousand people in Qiyang County. If you continue to defend, you may not be able to withstand the dark tomorrow. Since this is the case, it is better to break through and report the news, withdraw your troops and join Bao Long and Bao Duwei.

Moreover, Liu Du and Bao Long didn't know about Liu Bei's new attack tactics. Chen Ying felt that it would be unprofitable if he died here for nothing. At that time, Liu Fujun and Bao Duwei would be punished twice and were disintegrated by Zhao Yun's attack.

Of course, Zhao Yun will definitely send troops to chase him.

Wei Yan, who was arrogant in front of him, who was arrogant in setting up a camp to lure the enemy, might dare to intercept him.

But as long as the time difference of escape is calculated accurately, it is possible to retreat to Quanling by leaving a few hours earlier in the second half of the night.

What gave Chen Ying the greatest confidence was that he knew the hydrological situation in the upper reaches of the Xiang River, and knew what were the tricks and obstacles on the road from Qiyang to Quanling and what obstacles had been set up.

It turns out that when the Xiangjiang River reaches the upper reaches south of Hengshan, the water volume is not large. Many places seem to be flat, but in fact they are everywhere in the shallows, and people who don’t understand can easily get stranded.

However, just after passing the first self-built shipwreck reef channel, I walked a few miles away, just as Chen Ying wanted to continue passing the next obstacle according to the channel map, a sudden change occurred.

With a "bang", Chen Ying's boat was driving first, but a muffled sound hit the reef, and the Xiangjiang River water soon poured in.

"Impossible! How did you drive the boat? This should be a channel gap that can pass through! Did the helm be at the helm bent?" Chen Ying was furious, thinking that it was his teammate who was involved in the big trouble.

But soon he realized that it wasn't that way.

"Sima, it's not good! We didn't open the channel, but Wang Junhou's road-exploring ship also hit! It should be Wei Yan's men who took advantage of the siege of the city in the past few days to completely block the channel!"

Chen Ying didn't know that when Wei Yan arrived behind the enemy's camp a few days ago, he accidentally hit the reef. But Wei Yan was not familiar with the battle formation and did not know much about military tactics. He didn't expect that this was an artificial reef made by the defensive party.

Wei Yan was just inspired by this and felt that doing a better job of reefs could block the defenders' waterways and escape, cut off their way back, and force Chen Ying to fight him if he wanted to run away.

Wei Yan was furious by his colleagues and wanted to find an opportunity to fight, otherwise he would be too cowardly to siege the city every day.

So he asked someone to find a lot of big stones and broken ships, and spent a few days investigating the hydrology texts. He found that the channel here was originally very narrow, so he decisively came over every night to throw the big stones down the river and wait for the battle to end in the future before cleaning these things.

Chen Ying didn't care about what his experience was. As he sank on the boat, Chen Ying could only make a quick decision and lead his troops to the beach to the beach.

It's a gamble! I heard that although Zhao Yun was known as a famous cavalry general in Yan and Zhao, he did not bring any cavalry troops in this southern expedition. Chen Ying abandoned the boat and walked. Relying on the familiar terrain, he could still return to Quanling County by walking on Jiuyi Mountain Road.

Although it is difficult to walk, after all, it can save fifty or sixty miles to walk a route similar to a straight line.

"Quick! Quick! All of them are on the shore, prepare for the long snake formation to march, and walk the Jiuyi Mountain Mountain Road!" After Chen Ying** got ashore, he immediately called his subordinates to the whole team. Some of the ships did not hit the reefs, and they also allowed them to slowly get on the shore in an orderly manner.

Not long after giving the order, Chen Ying suddenly heard a Qu Junhou beside him exclaiming: "Sima is not good! Look west! There is a fire there! Could it be Wei Yan's people coming here, right?"

"Wei Yan? He actually dared to take the initiative to attack late at night? Only those hundreds of people from him?" Chen Ying looked incredible.

The subordinate Qu Junhou did not dare to ignore it and quickly reminded: "Sima, don't underestimate the enemy. Now half of our entire army is on the shore, half of us are still on the ship, and we are not in a row. If we don't buy time, wouldn't we be attacked by "half-crossing"? This is a taboo in military tactics!"

Chen Ying thought that this is indeed the case. He had 2,600 people, but he couldn't play it out now and needed to line up all of them.

I can only make a quick decision.

Chen Ying gritted his teeth and brought the seven or eight hundred people who had already arrived ashore to make a random formation, and then personally supervised the formation and led the team to rush up.

"Sima Chen Ying of Lingling is here! Who will fight me with the thief?" Chen Ying bravely made time for the rear army to get ashore, and shouted loudly while charging forward.

"Wei Yan is here! Chen Ying is dead!" After hearing Chen Ying's roar, Wei Yan rushed up with an iron shield and an ancient ingot knife like chicken blood. In the infantry battle, he was not familiar with the army, and both sides were slashing with swords and shields.

"You are not dry, so why do you die? Your husband will fulfill your wish!" Chen Ying smiled and greeted him.

Then there was nothing.

After several moves, Chen Ying was a little shocked, and he didn't expect the other party's martial arts to be beheaded by Wei Yan's ancient ingot knife with a "pop".

Wei Yan's momentum was like a mad tiger, and the dance shield continued to charge, and he did not forget to make the soldiers shout that the enemy general had been given the title.
