Chapter 151: The Soldier Dies, a Confidant

Although Lin Nan won the Ten Mile Battle more miserably, he still won after all, while Zhang Liao's Dingxiang City was in danger.

A few basins of dung and water shattered the plan of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Laji to capture Dingxiang in three days, and at the same time, the Huns also ate up the military rations and began to slaughter their own war horses to satisfy their hunger.

So, the next day, Raj's order to the Hun soldiers was: "If you don't enter the city, you will die!"

And Zhang Liao also knew that whether he could hold Dingxiang City should be the most critical day, so under Zhang Liao's call, the soldiers and young people in the city went to the city, and they swore to live and die together in Dingxiang City. The old, weak, women and children stood by the granary, preparing twigs and sulfur and other things to start fire, and once the city was broken, the grain was burned, and the grain must not be left to the Huns.

On this day, Lin Nan fought to the death in Shilipo, and Zhang Liao defended Dingxiang City.

The horn sounded, the Huns swarmed to Dingxiang City, and the moat of Dingxiang had already been filled in the offensive and defensive battles in these days, and, at this time, the dung water had already dried up, the smell of the city had been able to bear, and there were no arrows and stones on the city, so the Huns easily rushed to the city, to the city, set up a ladder, and the Huns began to climb to the city.

In the face of the ant-like Hun soldiers under the city, Zhang Liao was helpless, so he could only watch them climb up coldly.

At this time, a few people behind Zhang Liao held an iron pot on the battlement, and smashed it down against the Hun soldiers who were climbing the ladder under the city.

The Hun soldiers knew that Dingxiang City had no city defense weapons, so they were relieved to climb up the city boldly.

But when he suddenly looked up, he saw a black round thing smashing at him, and he just wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

"Boom!"

"Ahh

"Plop!"

The Hun soldier screamed and fell down the ladder.

Spit out the feces and dust in his mouth, gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and struggled to support it and looked: Damn. That black, round thing turned out to be a big iron pot!

Seeing that he was actually injured by a big iron pot, the Hun soldier actually scolded again, and fainted in anger.

Seeing the iron pot thrown down in the city, Raj couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This Han is really a loser." Even threw away the iron pot, and still can't eat, and can't get by. โ€

Seeing the people throwing iron pots to the city, Zhang Liao said: "Don't throw it away, we still have to eat." โ€

Thereupon. Then the people put the iron pot back and began to throw it away.

Tables, chairs, benches, door panels, furniture, and even bricks and tiles have become weapons, and they have been thrown to the city, making the Huns complain, and Raj is also very helpless, throwing dung and water yesterday. Aside from the furniture today, this Han man is really crazy.

Since Lin Nan began to promote tables, chairs and benches in Bingzhou, the people of Bingzhou have been very uncomfortable, thinking that these things are useless and not as simple as sitting on the ground. Moreover, it takes some money to buy these things, so the people of the state do not like these tables, chairs and benches very much.

But today, the people of Dingxiang City finally understood their lord's good intentions: "It turns out that these things can be used as weapons." โ€

Finish throwing away the furniture. After skimming the bricks, half a day passed again.

Seeing that half a day had passed, the Huns had not made any substantial progress, and Raj couldn't help but be furious. personally supervised the battle, and shouted loudly: "Retreat and behead!"

As a result, the Huns launched a new round of attacks, and the defenders of Dingxiang also changed their methods of defending the city...... They began to throw sand and dirt down the city.

Of course, it's not just the sand that is raised, but also the lime. Stove ash, dirty water, etc., in short, except for the house and gold, silver and copper coins, basically everything that can be thrown away.

In this way, they held each other for another half a day, and although the casualties on both sides were also very heavy, the sun finally set.

Watching the sun go down, Raj had no choice but to sigh helplessly, collect his troops and return to the camp, and then eat his beloved war horse.

The soldiers and civilians of Dingxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and another day passed.

After eating the fragrant war horse meat, crooked in his Chinese army tent, Raj was extremely depressed.

It was just a small city in Dingxiang, with only 10,000 defenders, and they fought for seven days, but they still didn't take it. Although, for two days he was bluffing, but his face was always a little unbearable, but he didn't know what happened to Yu Fuluo, and he didn't know if he had exterminated Lin Nan.

If Yu Fuluo can exterminate Lin Nan, then it will be much easier for him here, and if he can't get it right, he will easily capture Dingxiang City tomorrow and enjoy it.

Raj was thinking about it, but saw Guagua lead a soldier who was covered in blood and wolf-bรจi and walked in.

Raj was very surprised, and just wanted to ask, he saw Guaguashi Li and said: "Shan Yu, Yu Fuluo is defeated, this brother is here to deliver a letter." โ€

When Raj heard this, he hurriedly sat up and asked, "Is this true?"

The soldier looked at Raj and said dejectedly, "It's true, Shan Yu sent me to deliver a letter to your lordship, hoping that your lordship can withdraw your troops quickly." โ€

Listening to the soldier's words, Raj's mind went blank and he stayed for a long time.

How is it possible? 100,000 Hun iron cavalry was defeated, how many people did this Lin Nan lead?

Seeing that Shan Yu was in a daze, Guagua ordered someone to take the soldier down and let him rest.

But the soldier clenched his fist at Raj and said, "I have already brought the news, whether to withdraw the troops or not, the Lord will make up his own mind, and then he will leave." After saying that, he turned around and went out of the tent, beat his horse and left.

After a while, Raj finally reacted and said to Guagua: "What about that soldier? Call him in quickly, and I will ask him about the specific battle situation." โ€

Guagua said: "It's already gone, and I've already asked him about the specific battle situation, the Han army has about 70,000 people, 20,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, and 10,000 crossbowmen." Lin Nan first let the cavalry deceive, lured Yu Fuluo into his position, and then shot with crossbowmen and stabbed with pikemen to resist our iron cavalry. After the cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, they detoured back to Yu Fuluo's back and struck him hard in the back, so Yu Fuluo was defeated. Moreover, it is said that later the Han army also came with reinforcements, about 20,000 people, all of whom were infantry. โ€

Raj nodded and said, "In this way, this Lin Nan still has some skills." โ€

After Laj finished speaking, Guaga couldn't help but feel a little helpless, so he muttered to himself in his heart: "If Lin Nan didn't have the ability, then the former King Zuoxian would not have died." โ€

Immediately, Raj said, "Guagua, what do you think we should do?"

Guagua thought about it and said: "This matter is a big matter, and I hope that I can make up my own mind, if we don't withdraw our troops, we may capture Dingxiang City tomorrow, but we also take great risks, because we may also be surrounded by the Han army in the city, and die in the city, if we withdraw our troops now, we can return to the grassland safely, but our previous losses cannot be made up." With that, Guagua stared at Raj and asked him to make up his mind.

And Raj didn't know what to do. If you withdraw your troops, your tens of thousands of soldiers, horses, and grain and grass will be gone in vain, and if you don't withdraw your troops, you may take advantage of it, or you may be wiped out of your entire army.

In the midst of the contradiction, Raj couldn't help but stand up and paced around in the big tent, but Guagua just bowed his head and said nothing.

After a while, Raji suddenly said, "What are the casualties in Yu Fuluo, and what are the casualties of the Han army?"

Guagua said: "Yu Fuluo's entire army was annihilated, and the Han army also suffered more than half of the casualties. โ€

Raj thought about it, suddenly slammed a few cases hard, and said: "That's it, order the generals to prepare and attack the city tonight." โ€

It was late at night, but Zhang Liao did not fall asleep, but put on his helmet and armor, and sat in the meeting hall of the Taishou Mansion with his eyes closed.

At this time, it was already the third watch, and Zhang Liao had just returned from patrolling the city, but in the hall at this time, Hou Cheng and others were snoring, lying on the ground and meeting with Zhou Zheng.

Although he was also very tired, he couldn't sleep because he had to stay at night.

It turned out that since the Huns began to attack on a large scale, Zhang Liao discussed with Hou Cheng, Song Tian, and Shen Shi, and the four of them took turns to patrol the city at night in case of accidents. As for the order and order of night duty, it is determined by drawing lots.

And today, Zhang Liao is on duty between the third and fourth watches.

Zhang Liao knew that tonight was critical, because the lord might come to reinforcements tomorrow. And if you keep it for one more day, the chances of victory will increase by one point, and your value is to drag the enemy here and fight for the greatest victory for the lord.

However, I really don't know if I will be able to hold Dingxiang City tomorrow.

After a few days of fierce fighting, Zhang Liao was already haggard, his red eyes were bloodshot, his face was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the red robe on his body had long been stained purple by blood.

couldn't help but think of his life experience.

Lonely since childhood, with a feud, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, had to change his name and surname, and died in the world, fortunately, the lord did not give up, let him be the general, and was able to command the army, and worship the post of the ether. If there was no lord, how could he have such glory and status? I am afraid that he would have been killed by the enemy long ago.

And now, it's finally time to repay the favor.

Yu Gong, he is responsible for the people of Dingxiang, he is responsible for the dignity of the Han Dynasty, and he is more worthy of the cultivation and support of the lord in private.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be enthusiastic and ambitious.

Death for a confidant!

Life is righteous and righteous, who will talk about fame?

Swear to keep the steadfast, and never live up to the trust of the lord.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao got up and went out again and climbed to the top of the city.

Now it is the end of the month, the moon has gone to rest early, only those tireless stars are still blinking naughtily, and the cold wind of late autumn is blowing in his face, making Zhang Liao much more sober, and his sleepiness is swept away.

Seeing Zhang Liao coming to the city, the patrolling soldiers clasped their fists and saluted, and Zhang Liao also patted them on the shoulder affectionately, telling them to be vigilant.

After taking a turn around the city, seeing that there was no movement in the Hun camp, Zhang Liao returned to the Taishou Mansion. (To be continued.) )
