Chapter 291: The Battle of Nanpi City (True!

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

"Take Nanpi City, the property and women in it are ours!"

Countless heads shouted different slogans, set up ladders, and rushed to Nanpi City. However, they had only one goal, and that was to capture the city of Nanpi.

"Archers, hands!"

"Pikemen, thorns!"

"Boulders, sassags, throw!"

On Nanpi City, the centurion and the lieutenant commanded loudly, and the weapons in their hands did not hesitate, and each blow fiercely hit the enemy. Like the besiegers, they have only one purpose, and that is to hold Nanpi City.

Before noon, countless corpses had already piled up under Nanpi City. There are Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei, and similarly, there are corpses of the defenders of Nanpi City. However, the people who have already killed the red-eyed people, where will they care about the corpses under the city, at this moment their thoughts are to attack, attack, and attack, and the other side is to defend, defend, and defend.

Today is the fifth day, and if Gongsun Zhan and them can't take Nanpi City, they must leave and go to Yecheng. Therefore, Gongsun Chan no longer left his hands behind and sent the elite under his command.

At the time of the siege, Gongsun Chan and them gathered a thousand elites, all of whom had the strength of centurions in the army. Most of them were Gongsun Zhan's personal soldiers, and a few were Liu Bei and the black-robed people's personal soldiers. In order to take Nanpi City, they did not hide their secrets. This thousand-strong elite was hidden among the siege soldiers, and it was not until they reached the head of the city that they showed their fangs, so that the defense line of Nanpi City was broken in several places, and almost the head of Nanpi City fell.

However, the 1,300 well-trained men in Dongping County held on in time, and the 1,000 men were either killed or repulsed. In the end, the city was defended, but for this 1,300 men came at the cost of 500 lives. Such casualties made Yuan Chang and them all feel heartache. Each of these 1,300 people is at the level of a centurion, and they will be the pillars of the army in the future, but now they are dying in Nanpi City.

There are only 5,000 defenders left in Nanpi City, and many defensive lines at the head of the city are in an emergency, and the reserve troops have also been dispatched many times, and many have been damaged. Moreover, because of the many battles in the reserve force, most of them did not even have the strength to wield their weapons.

"Lord, if this continues, I'm afraid Nanpi City won't be able to hold it. Now there are many strong people in the city, why don't you let your subordinates gather them to defend the city?"

"No way!"

Yuan Chang shook his head very decisively and said resolutely: "As soldiers, our duty is to protect the wealth and lives of the people. If we don't even have the ability to protect them, how can we be qualified to sit in this position? Perhaps many people think that when the city is to be destroyed, it is a matter of course to gather the people to defend it. However, they have not undergone any training, they are ordinary people, the battlefield is not where they should be, they are the object of our protection. Even if the enemy breaks through the city, will it still be possible to slaughter the people? As soldiers, we must have the determination to fight, and even if we fight to the last soldier, we cannot use such an excuse to let the people die for our soldiers!"

"The lord is benevolent and righteous, and his subordinates are guilty!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he bowed deeply to Yuan Chang.

And the soldiers around Yuan Chang were also shocked when they heard Yuan Chang's words, and they felt that there was a hot blood in their hearts that was about to break through their bodies, making him want to vent out.

Throughout the ages, as long as the city was in a critical moment, the generals would summon the young and strong people in the city, and even women and children to help defend the city, perhaps because they were used to it, so that everyone felt normal. Perhaps they thought that the city had fallen and that the people had suffered with it. However, today's words from Yuan Chang made them feel and awaken!

When the enemy captures the city, will he slaughter the city and kill the people? The imperial court conscripts soldiers and gives them food and pay them to protect the people's homes, and if they can't protect the people, what qualifications do they have to accept all this? Their food and pay come from the people, so can they only take it and not pay? And as soldiers, from the moment they become soldiers, they must begin to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations while enjoying everything. Gather the people to help, saying that the good thing is to defend the city, and to say that the bad thing is to send them to death and delay time.

How can they fight without training? Maybe they will faint at the sight of blood and be killed by the enemy.

"Fengxiao, this is not your sin. The root of all this is brought about by careerists, and as long as we live for a moment, we must protect the people and their homeland from being violated. So, what we can do is to fight and give the people peace of mind. ”

Yuan Chang finished speaking, pulled out the saber at his waist, and strode to the front of the city, Yuan Chang He can also kill the enemy.

"Haha, the lord can kill the enemy, Jia is a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken!"

Guo Jia laughed, and also pulled out a sword and came to Yuan Chang's side. Moreover, Guo Jia faintly protected Yuan Chang's comfort, Guo Jia knew that the world could do without him Guo Jia, and there would be more resourceful people. However, Yuan Chang is the only one in the past and present, and he must not have anything to do.

"We are willing to defend our home with adults and kill the enemy!"

The hot-blooded soldiers finally couldn't help it and roared wildly.

They know that the adult in front of them is a different adult. They also had the same idea as Guo Jia before, that is, to gather the people in the city to help defend the city. However, after listening to Yuan Chang's words, they realized that they were wrong and felt ashamed. There are their relatives and friends in the city, they should be protected by themselves, if they still want relatives and friends to help, how can they be worthy of the title of soldiers?

"Defend your homeland and slay your enemies!"

The soldiers around Yuan Chang listened to Yuan Chang's words and began to roar. The soldiers in other places didn't know what was going on, but when Yuan Chang's words gradually reached their ears, everyone couldn't help but roar. With such adults, how could they not work hard to kill the enemy, even if not for the sake of adults, but also for their relatives, friends, and homes in the city.

"Knock knock..."

"Zheng Zheng..."

Suddenly, the city wall resounded with an inspiring, murderous piano sound. Yuan Chang turned to look, but he didn't know when Diao Xiu'er was sitting on the side, playing with the guqin with her slender hand, as if to boost the morale of the soldiers.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Yuan Chang swung his sword and killed an enemy who was about to climb to the top of the wall, his eyes red. The usual gentle and elegant aura is no longer there, and the body exudes infinite killing intent.

Gongsun Zan wants to take Jizhou has nothing to do with him, but it is the idea of beating him in Bohai County, and Yuan Chang will definitely not let anyone bully. Although Yuan Chang's power is small, since Gongsun Chan has bullied him, he also wants to make Gongsun Chan feel bad. Nanpi City is not a place to be slaughtered.

By Yuan Chang's side, there were twenty people around him, and these people were all elites among the 1,300 people. When he saw Yuan Chang draw his sword and rush to the front of the city wall, Han Sui had already mobilized twenty people to follow Yuan Chang. Guo Jia and Zhao Yun did not dissuade them, because they knew that they would definitely not be able to dissuade Yuan Chang. Moreover, they did not think of giving up Nanpi City. This is Yuan Chang and their first city, if the first city can't be protected, and they have to abandon the city, how can Yuan Chang and their ideals be realized? They know that in the future, they will face a stronger enemy, so they will not retreat.

"Hmph, the trapped beast is still fighting, today I will take Nanpi City!"

Gongsun Chan found that the soldiers in Nanpi City seemed to be more tenacious, and snorted coldly. In his opinion, Nanpi City without reinforcements must be in his pocket, but it is only a matter of time.

Neither the black-robed man nor Liu Bei spoke, but their eyes flickering as they looked at Nanpicheng.

At this moment, in their hearts, they were all surprised by the strength of the soldiers of Nanpi City. If the city is broken, it will be like a tiger to take down these soldiers. The black-robed man and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and they both seemed to see each other's thoughts.

"Order the three armies, which battalion will capture the city first, and the level of the whole battalion will be raised by one level; speed up the siege, and at sunset, we will drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big bowl in the city!"

Gongsun Chan gave the order again, and the soldiers besieging the city became even more ferocious. Maybe it was for the purpose of the promotion, maybe it was for the wealth and women in the city, in short, the offensive was more fierce, the pressure on the soldiers of Nanpi City was greater, and the casualties increased, but in half an hour, another thousand people had left the city.

If this trend continues, it will not take two hours for the head of Nanpi City to fall.

"Boom, boom..."

At this moment the earth began to tremble, and a deafening sound sounded, and it seemed that a large army of cavalry was advancing in this direction.

Suddenly, everyone on the battlefield looked in the direction where the momentum sounded, and they were all curious, where did this cavalry come from?

"Sir, could it be Yuan Shao's reinforcements?"

Gongsun Zhan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked the black-robed man.

"Impossible!"

The black-robed man shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "Judging by its momentum and voice, this cavalry has at least five thousand people. Yuan Shao did not have so many cavalry, and where there were so many cavalry, there were only Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou and Yuzhou. It is impossible for people from Liangzhou to get here. And Liu Yu of Youzhou did not have so many cavalry, and Bingzhou did not have any power now, so he would not attack others. Then, it is very likely to be Yuan Shu of Yuzhou. ”

Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou are all places rich in war horses, Liangzhou is too far away from Jizhou, it is impossible to pass through Sili or Merge State, and although Liu Yu is the assassin of Youzhou, he does not have the same development power as other princes, so it is impossible to have so many cavalry. The assassin of Bingzhou has already hung up, and the imperial court has not yet appointed a new assassin history, and moreover, Bingzhou is not a good place, and he has to fight against foreign races, so he has nothing to like to serve as the assassin of Bingzhou. Now it seems that the princes who can have so many cavalry are only Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Chan are allied, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu trade with each other, and Yuan Shu also has tens of thousands of cavalry.

However, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian went to drag Cao Cao, could they have defeated Cao Cao?

"Boom..."

The momentum was even more impressive, and it seemed that the cavalry was closer to them. And Gongsun Zhan, the black-robed man and Liu Bei finally saw the cavalry at the front, however, they didn't see the slightest sign of this cavalry.

So, is this cavalry its own people, or is it an enemy?

This idea is an idea that both Gongsun Zhan's side and Yuan Chang's side have. If it was Yuan Shu's cavalry in Yuzhou, then Nanpicheng would be even worse; if Yuan Chang supported it, then Nanpicheng would be defended, and Gongsun Zan would not have time to stay in Nanpicheng. Taking Jizhou is his goal.

"Boom..."

The cavalry had already reached the battlefield, and no one came out to speak, but ran straight towards Nanpi City, but all the soldiers on the side of Gongsun Zhan who stood in their way were killed by them.

"Where is the [White Horse Righteous Servant], go and intercept them!"

Seeing this, Gongsun Chan immediately roared with red eyes. This cavalry began to kill their own soldiers, and if they couldn't tell whether they were friends or foes, then Gongsun Chan could really find a piece of tofu and kill them.

However, because the [White Horse Yicong] is a cavalryman, he is not good at attacking cities, so he has always been in the rear. By the time Gongsun Zhan received the order, the cavalry had already reached the bottom of Nanpi City. And Gongsun Zhan, the black-robed people and Liu Bei's soldiers, because of the sudden appearance of the cavalry, also forgot to give orders for a while, so that this cavalry came to the gate of Nanpi City without hindrance.

Yuan Chang was also very surprised in his heart, it seemed that this cavalry was here to help him. However, where did this cavalry come from?

Although Yuan Chang also asked for help from the neighboring Hejian Kingdom and Anping County, Yuan Chang did not expect them to come to his aid. Moreover, even if they sent troops to help, it was estimated that they would be some old and weak, so how could they send cavalry? Besides, where did the Hejian Kingdom and Anping County get so many cavalry, could it be the cavalry of the Hejian Kingdom and Anping County?

"Lord Yuan, under the ban, I have come to serve, and I also ask Lord Yuan to open the city gate. ”

There was a shout from the city, Yuan Chang was stunned, it turned out to be Yu Ban, he didn't follow Bao Xin, and finally became Cao Cao's person, how could he appear here?

Now that the city is under siege, and the enemy is not yet clear, it is obviously unwise to open the city gates. However, Yuan Chang did not have the slightest doubt, although he didn't know how Yu Ban would appear here, but he would definitely not be Gongsun Zhan's person, which Yuan Chang had enough confidence as a traverser!

"Come, open the gates, the archers prepare, shoot the enemy in the rear. Yuan Chang decisively ordered. As for Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, they did not object, and they would definitely not question Yuan Chang's order.

The city gate was quickly opened, and with a wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him entered the city in a neat formation, without the slightest chaos. It can be seen that this is also an extremely elite cavalry.

The [White Horse Yicong] in the rear was about to reach the city gate, Yuan Chang did not panic, and calmly let the archers shoot. When the last cavalry entered the city, the [White Horse Righteous Servant] could only retreat helplessly. After a few rounds of arrow raindown, several hundred cavalrymen had already fallen.

"Damn, order the three armies, retreat!"

Gongsun Chan glared at Yuan Chang in Nanpi City angrily, and finally gave the order unwillingly. There is no point in fighting any longer, with the assistance of these 5,000 people, it is no longer possible to take Nanpi City today. Gongsun Zhan can't spend any more time in Nanpi City, Yecheng is still waiting for him, as long as he takes Yecheng and controls Jizhou, this Nanpi City is still his.

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

Seeing the soldiers on Gongsun Zhan's side retreating, the soldiers of Nanpi City immediately cheered, and finally except for a few soldiers, most of them fell to the ground, after a long day of severe fighting, they were already exhausted, if it wasn't for one breath, they would have fallen. At this moment, the enemy retreats, and they naturally don't have to endure it anymore!

And the battle also ended with them holding Nanpi City, and Gongsun Zhan's side would not attack the city again!
