"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Boom..."

On the city of Nanpi, bows and arrows fell like raindrops, boulders and trees also fell like hailstones, and the besieging Gongsun Chan and the men and horses of the black-robed men fell from the ladder one after another and fell under the city. Some people are lucky enough to fall not too hard at the bottom of the ladder and can get up and continue fighting, while others either have broken hands or feet, or their cervical vertebrae are displaced. Of course, compared to those who fell from the ladder and died, their luck was good, and at least they saved a small life.

Since the battle between Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei ended, Gongsun Zan and the black-robed people ordered a large army to attack the city. From morning to now, there is still nearly half an hour before the sun sets.

In less than half a day, the meat grinder in Nanpicheng has taken nearly 30,000 lives. In an age of only 17 million people, 30,000 lives is already a considerable number.

After the battle of the previous few days, tens of thousands of people have died. In today's battle, nearly 15,000 people were killed and 20,000 were seriously or lightly wounded. However, the rest of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, the breath on their bodies is even more iron-blooded and violent, and now they are no different from the breath of elite soldiers. The only difference is that there is still a gap between their fighting style and that of elite soldiers. However, they have such an aura, as long as they go through some training, I believe they are an extremely strong army.

It is worth mentioning that the original commander of these yellow turbans has all been killed. And the new Qu Shuai was promoted by the black-robed people, so it can be said that this yellow scarf has been completely controlled by the black-robed people. Of course, as long as anyone with a heart knows that these Qu Shuai died so easily, there seems to be a conspiracy in it.

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Gongsun Zhan, and it has nothing to do with Yuan Chang in Nanpi City.

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers also joined the battle at noon after a few rounds of siege by the black-robed man's men and horses. Gongsun Zhan's elite soldiers participated in the battle, which undoubtedly brought great pressure to Nanpi City.

Before the addition of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, the casualty ratio between the defenders of Nanpi City and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans was about 1 to 6, however, after Gongsun Zhan's soldiers joined, the casualty ratio between the defenders of Nanpi City and Gongsun Chan dropped to 1 to 3, which was twice as low. It can be seen that there is still a huge gap between the combat power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and the elite soldiers.

Gongsun Chan only sent 20,000 men to participate in the battle, killing more than 6,000 people, and about 4,000 people who were seriously wounded and could not continue the battle. More than 3,000 defenders in Nanpi City were killed, more than 3,000 were seriously wounded, and 2,000 were lightly wounded. Nanpi City, which was originally small in numbers, was even more stretched after losing these 8,000 troops. Therefore, the more than 2,000 lightly wounded soldiers, who did not care about recuperating from their wounds, continued to join the battle, but their injuries were aggravated, or they were seriously injured or killed in battle. This battle can be said to be extremely tragic.

Any strategy has no effect, everyone is fighting for real strength, without the slightest skill at all.

"Spearman, stab!"

"Shield soldiers, raise shields for defense!"

"Swordsman, slash!"

On the walls of Nanpi City, at intervals, there is such a team of ten people, and the coordination is flawless. And the members of these squads are naturally the 1,300 people that Han Sui trained in Dongping County.

They were in small groups of ten, with swordsmen, spearmen, shieldmen, and so on. One of them is the squad leader, who is responsible for watching the battle and directing at the same time. When someone approaches the city wall and the sword soldiers can't attack, the squad leader will direct the spearmen to attack, and once the opposing soldiers can attack their own soldiers, the squad leader will immediately direct the shield soldiers to defend, and then the sword soldiers will make up for the attack, and clean and clean the enemy. At the same time, the archers of Gongsun Chan under the city will also release arrows to the defenders at the head of the city, at this time, the squad leader has no command, when there are arrows falling nearby, the shield soldiers will consciously defend, and the others are extremely relieved to hand over the bows and arrows falling from the sky to the shield soldiers to solve. Without a certain amount of time, it is obviously not so simple to do this.

With these 1,300 people alone, the enemies killed were several times as many as them, especially Gongsun Zhan's elite soldiers, who were the objects they cared for. Moreover, it is striking that none of the 1,300 people were killed, except for a few who were seriously injured. Such a record is truly amazing.

"General Gongsun, the sun has set, and it's time to withdraw the troops. Nanpi City is now just a trapped beast, and now there are less than 10,000 people in the city, and we will take it in one fell swoop tomorrow!"

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and Gongsun Chan didn't seem to be planning to withdraw his troops yet, so the black-robed man had to remind him. The besieging side was already in a disadvantageous position, and if it was attacking the city at night, it would be even more disadvantageous. The black-robed man understood Gongsun Zhan's thoughts, and what had happened these days made Gongsun Chan extremely angry, so he thought that he could take Nanpi City earlier. However, Jizhou is the top priority now, and the black-robed people naturally won't let Gongsun Chan be so unwise.

"Since Mr. said so, then withdraw the troops!"

Gongsun Chan took a deep breath, and finally waved his hand to signal his soldiers to convey the order to retreat.

As a general, Gongsun Chan has fought countless times with foreign races, so he naturally understands the difficulty of fighting at night. However, the anger in his heart made him lose his mind. However, fortunately, there is a black-robed person beside him who reminds him at all times, otherwise, I am afraid that Gongsun Zhan's prestige will be destroyed in this small Nanpi City.

Of course, there is one thing that Gongsun Chan doesn't know, if there is no black-robed man's existence, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia would not dare to resort to such a strategy as a sneak attack and an empty city plan. Because, without a calm and wise strategist by your side, no one will help you with any strategy, and no one will make you cringe because of your doubts. Especially for a self-righteous person like Gongsun Zhan, if there was no black-robed person, he would have done it a long time ago. As for the seizure of Jizhou, we will talk about it later.

"Brother Xuande, can your soldiers and horses help me attack the city tomorrow?"

When the army began to retreat, Gongsun Chan turned his head to look at the three Liu Bei brothers on the side, and asked with a smile.

Originally, Gongsun Chan did not plan to let Liu Bei join the besieging side, after all, after taking Nanpi City, the population and resources in the city would be divided equally between Gongsun Chan and the black-robed people. Now the soldiers and horses under the command of the two of them have suffered a lot of losses, and Liu Bei will inevitably get a piece of the pie if he participates again. And Liu Bei can get the same benefits just by participating in tomorrow's battle, and I believe that most people are unwilling.

Although Gongsun Chan is stubborn and self-serving, he is still very shrewd sometimes.

His idea was very simple, Nanpicheng was just a medium-sized city in Jizhou, and its population and wealth were also in the middle and upper ranks, even if it was given to Liu Bei, it would be nothing. Compared with the resources of the entire Jizhou, it is just a drop in the middle. In that case, why don't you hurry up and end the battle in Nanpi City, and then go to Yecheng to control the whole of Jizhou.

Gongsun Zhan's invitation is obviously very powerful, he can share the property of Nanpi City, and there is also a population, you must know that this is the source of soldiers.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not hesitate at all.

"Brother Bo Jue has spoken, and my brother will not refuse!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, and the black-robed man laughed at the same time, as if Nanpi City had become their bag. Of course, under the smiles of the three people, they have their own thoughts.
