Chapter 742: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
Liu Zheng turned his head and looked towards the inner city.
Sure enough, I heard the direction from which those voices came, and I don't know from which city gate, a lot of barbarian soldiers poured in.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zheng showed a trace of panic on his face, but he still forced himself to calm down, at this time, he can't panic, if he panics, then these soldiers around him will be even more panicked, no one wants to die here, and no one doesn't want to leave here alive.
"Someone!"
Liu Zheng shouted.
Several guards around him immediately approached Liu Zheng quickly, and then knelt down in front of Liu Zheng.
"Lord!"
"You go and send a message to General Gao Shun quickly, let them give up guarding the city gate and retreat to the city tower, we will defend the city tower, otherwise we will suffer the enemy on our backs!"
The barbarian soldiers had already rushed in from the outside and entered the county town of Yiling.
When the city has not yet been breached, guarding the city gate is the most important thing, because then no one will rush out from behind in the inner city.
But now it's different, the inner city has been breached, and the enemy doesn't know which of the other three gates to rush out of, which will seriously threaten Liu Zheng in the rear.
It is no longer meaningful to continue to guard the city gate in this way, only by guarding the city tower can Liu Zheng have a glimmer of hope.
After all, there are only two stairs to go from the city to the city tower, as long as they guard these stairs, Liu Zheng and they still have the strength to fight.
It's not that Liu Zheng doesn't want to lead his men and horses to break through, but it's not practical to break through now.
Let's not mention, these horses under Liu Zheng are not numerous, and if they want to break through, once they get out of the city, they will be surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy troops, and it is almost impossible to break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops.
No matter how powerful the camp is, it will be difficult to retreat from the siege of these barbarians.
Moreover, even if they temporarily escaped from the hands of these barbarians, in the mountains and forests of Wuling County, Liu Zheng's trapped camp did not occupy any advantage, but the warriors of those barbarian tribes had more advantages, they were familiar with the terrain and were good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and they would definitely be more difficult to deal with than Liu Zheng's trapped camp.
So this is the reason why Liu Zheng is unwilling to choose to break through at this time, but stick to the city.
If he sticks to the city, he only needs to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, which is enough, and if he calculates the time, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses should not be far from here.
He had already passed on the news before, asking the Jinyi guards outside the city to quickly go and summon Sun Jian's soldiers and horses to come to help.
I'm afraid that now Sun Jian is not far from Yiling.
Liu Zheng believed that if he held on for a while, Sun Jian's army would come.
His order quickly made Gao Shun's people take action, Gao Shun is not a fool, he can naturally understand the current situation, and soon according to Liu Zheng's instructions, these trap camps at the city gate were transferred back, from the original town guarding the city gate, to guarding the city under the city and on the city tower on the two steps.
With the big shield waiting, coupled with the condescending advantage, those barbarian soldiers who killed into the city were not so easy to rush up to the city tower.
The barbarian soldiers couldn't attack for a long time, but after breaking the city at this time, they were not in a hurry.
In their opinion, Liu Zheng has become a turtle in an urn, and someone who can be caught at any time will naturally not be in a hurry to attack the city.
Xiongxi Man's people did not charge directly at the city tower, but confronted Liu Zheng's trap camp, and gradually approached from the other two city towers, and Liu Zheng converged.
At this time, Liu Zheng knew that it was Shiwu from the North City Gate, who did not block the attack of these people, the city gate was breached, and Shiwu himself lost his life.
The loss of the north city gate made the soldiers of Lu Bu and Dian Wei also face the situation of being attacked on their backs, so they could only temporarily abandon their respective city gates, and gradually approached the west gate where Liu Zheng was located from the upper side of the city tower.
After the men of several city gates were combined, the number of people here was less than 4,000.
At this time, Ah Huilan, the leader of the Xiongxi tribe, walked out of the city, stood at the front of these barbarian soldiers, and glanced at Liu Zheng's figure in the crowd.
Soon he saw Liu Zheng, who was covered in blood in the crowd.
"Lord Liu Zheng, do you still think you Han people are powerful? Your Yiling City is not able to give you enough security, if you are willing to surrender now, I am willing to give you a way to live. ”
Ah Huinan has an absolute advantage at this time, he naturally has some pride, if he can intimidate Liu Zheng a few words, so as to capture Liu Zheng alive, he is also willing to see it.
After all, a living Liu Zheng is better than a dead one.
Besides, if Liu Zheng is willing to surrender, then they don't have to continue this battle, otherwise if Liu Zheng resists stubbornly, they will still have to kill and wound a lot of men and horses before they can destroy Liu Zheng.
"Ah Huinan, I really didn't expect that you would be so decisive, in order to break my Yiling County, you actually dispatched 70,000 troops, and regardless of the cost, you would rather kill and wound tens of thousands of soldiers and horses than break my small county town."
At this time, Liu Zheng did not have the arrogance just now, but he did not surrender in fear as Ah Huinan thought.
Liu Zheng's backbone is still there, he would rather die than surrender, especially surrender with these barbarian savages, how could Liu Zheng do such a thing.
"Hahaha, you Liu Zheng is worth tens of thousands of troops, without you, this big man in the world, I Ah Huinan may be able to get involved."
"Then you really think too much, if you kill me, you won't be able to get this world because of this, but because of my dead and wounded, these territories under my command will be divided into several pieces, and you, the barbarians, will be easily exterminated by my generals."
For these arrogant barbarians, Liu Zheng looked at them coldly, never worried that they would be able to rise to the occasion.
was looked down upon by Liu Zheng like this, Ah Huilan's face, which was still a little proud, became a little unsightly at this time.
"Hmph, death is on the verge of death, and you are still hard-mouthed, when I kill you, naturally I will wipe out all the soldiers and horses under your command little by little, I want you to see, our Nanban tribe is the most powerful, we have the most powerful warriors, why can't we enjoy the best things in the world!"
Since Liu Zheng was not prepared to surrender at all, Ah Huinan naturally did not plan to continue to talk nonsense with Liu Zheng, and began to gradually order his own people to approach the city tower little by little.
They wanted to give Liu Zheng some sense of oppression and force the soldiers around Liu Zheng to surrender voluntarily.
However, Ah Huinan's pride did not last long.
When these barbarians began to press forward step by step, outside the city of Yiling County, there were faint sounds of horns.
