Volume 3 The Conquest of the Yellow Turban Chapter 149 Difficult to Defend the City (5)

The book is picked up again.

said that after Guan Yu and Xu Huang forgave Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, they went to see Li Zhi with the two of them.

At this time, Li Zhi was commanding the army, resisting the yellow turban on the city wall.

But Guan Hai, who was outside the city, saw that after Zhou Cang entered the city, a boulder immediately fell, blocking the city gate, and he immediately understood that he had been tricked.

Guan Hai saw that he had fallen for Li Zhi's tricks, he was furious, no longer cared about the casualties of his subordinates, and commanded his army to attack the city wall frantically, venting the anger and embarrassment in his heart.

Because Guan Hai found that since the fall of Zhoucang, Bian Xi and Pei Yuanshao both looked at him a little strangely.

Guan Hai knew that the two of them were actually laughing at themselves, and the plan they were proud of not only did not succeed, but was used by Li Zhi, which greatly damaged their vitality, how could they not repay such a revenge?

At this time, Liu Bei and the others came to the city wall and saw Li Zhi, who was commanding the army to resist the crazy attack of the Yellow Turbans.

Seeing that Li Zhi was commanding the army to resist the enemy, the four of them did not dare to disturb, and stood aside and quietly watched Li Zhi.

Li Zhi didn't notice them either, and was directing the soldiers with large shields to block the yellow scarves that had just rushed to the city wall.

Although this method was useful, under the attack of the Yellow Turban, several people had already rushed up from between the gaps.

Seeing this, Li Zhi did not dare to slack off, and immediately commanded his soldiers to kill all these yellow turbans, so as not to collapse into an anthill.

Although he easily blocked the Yellow Turban's attack this time, Li Zhi was not very happy, but looked outside the city and frowned.

Although Li Zhi had blocked the Yellow Turban's several sieges, he knew in his heart that the Yellow Turbans had not actually lost many men and horses in these siege battles.

The 50,000 or 60,000 people led by Zhou Cang were just breaking their muscles and bones for the Yellow Turban, and for their 6 or 700,000 troops, they did not hurt their roots.

If the Yellow Turbans were like this, they didn't care about losses and attacked endlessly, and they would be able to break through the city in a few days.

Moreover, compared to himself, Li Zhi was more worried about the West Gate guarded by Dong Zhuo.

After all, in history, Dong Zhuo was scared away when he had a big advantage, and now he is in an absolute weakness, isn't it......

Thinking of this, Li Zhi frowned, looked at the precarious city wall and fell into deep thought.

Just when Li Zhi was in a daze, Guo Jia on the side saw Liu Bei and the others, poked Li Zhi and whispered: "Brother! ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi looked back at Guo Jia, and when he saw that he was making a look at him, he followed his gaze and looked back.

After Li Zhi saw Liu Bei and the others, he was surprised, hurriedly walked over, and asked with a puzzled face: "I don't know what happened to Brother Xuande and Brother Yun Changxian here?" But what did Duke Lu command? ”

"Definitely." Liu Bei shook his head and told Li Zhi the purpose of his visit.

When Li Zhi heard that Liu Bei and the others were sent by Duke Lu to rescue him, he couldn't laugh or cry, rubbed his forehead, and asked helplessly: "Could it be that Duke Lu is so capable in his heart?" With an army of 60,000 and a city wall, you can't hold out even a day? ”

"Uh..." Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled embarrassedly, he really didn't expect this, but now after Li Zhi's reminder, he found that Lu Gong really underestimated Li Zhi's meaning.

Although Liu Bei was talking about Lu Zhi in his heart, for the sake of the elders, Lu Zhi was his mentor, and Liu Bei couldn't say that he was not, so he changed the topic and said, "I don't know how long God can last here?" ”

Li Zhiwen

Yan, with a long sigh, pointed to the yellow scarf that attacked again outside the city, frowned and said: "I don't know how long I can last, if the yellow turban is so continuous attacking the city at this time, then I am afraid that I can't even hold it for two days." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed: "There are still insufficient troops, if the Yellow Turban army is only three times that of Benhou, then Benhou will not even defend the city, and go out of the city directly to fight with him!" And yet ten times ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and did not speak.

When the others heard this, they were all silent, and their hearts were heavy.

They all understood what Li Zhi meant, if it was a 10-fold enemy with continuous attacks, I was afraid that the city would not last more than three days before it would be breached.

And the time they agreed to break out was exactly three days later, but these three days were ......

Li Zhijian saw that everyone was silent and worried because of his words, so he cheered up and comforted: "You don't have to worry so much, this yellow scarf is also a human being, and they also have times when they are tired." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the yellow turban that was besieging the city: "Such a strong siege is just today, and until tomorrow, when he sees that the losses are too great, he will definitely not dare to attack the city so unscrupulously." ”

When everyone heard this, their spirits were shocked, and they nodded their heads one after another, although they knew that what Li Zhi said was not necessarily right, but this was a hope after all, even if it was a slim hope, it was better than no hope.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little fixed, Li Zhi asked Liu Bei, "Brother Xuande, I don't know how Lu Gong is doing?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed: "What else can I do, there is no other place like this, the yellow turban is attacking wildly, and we can only barely parry." ”

Li Zhi nodded, this answer was not unexpected.

Subsequently, Li Zhi asked the question he was most concerned about: "Does Brother Xuande know what the situation is with Dong Zhuo?" ”

"General Dong is there?" Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "General Dong's situation is even worse, and he has asked his mentor for help several times.

As a last resort, the teacher squeezed out 10,000 reinforcements from his command and sent them to him, as for what happened at this time, Bei didn't know. ”

"Ten thousand?" Li Zhi made a silent calculation in his heart, and then said in shock: "Duke Lu originally only had 50,000 troops, and he gave Dong Zhuo 10,000 reinforcements, and ordered Brother Xuande to bring 10,000 reinforcements here, so if you calculate it, then Lu Gong only has more than 30,000 people at this time?!" ”

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, he saw Liu Bei nodding with an ugly face.

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly said: "I don't need reinforcements here, Brother Xuande quickly went back to help Duke Lu defend the city, I am afraid that Duke Lu's 30,000 people will not be able to resist the yellow scarf." ”

Liu Bei also knew the seriousness of the matter, no longer hesitated, and said goodbye: "That is the case, I will say goodbye!" ”

Li Zhi clenched his fists and replied: "Brother Xuande, take care!" ”

Liu Bei nodded, immediately turned around, and left in a hurry with the army.

Guan Yu saw Liu Bei leaving, and was about to follow him back to Lu Zhi's place, when he suddenly thought of Zhou Cang's matter again.

Guan Yu hesitated slightly, and then said to Li Zhi: "Brother, I saw that the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who was captured by my brother liked it very much, and I want to accept him as my command, and I hope my brother agrees!" ”

"Yellow Turban Qu Shuai? What's going on? Li Zhi turned his gaze to Xu Huang.

Seeing Li Zhi looking at him, Xu Huang hurriedly explained the matter to Li Zhi like this.

"Zhou Cang?" After Li Zhi understood what happened, his face was a little strange.

Li Zhi was also quite speechless in his heart at this time, thinking: "This Guan Yu and Zhou Cang are really fateful, it seems that Zhou Cang in history is Guan."

Yu entourage, right?

I have changed the trajectory of Guan Yu's fate, I didn't expect them to meet together, could it be that in the dark, there is really providence? ”

Thinking of this, Li Zhishu laughed, shook his head, and put the nonsense in his mind behind.

Seeing that Guan Yu was still looking at him with expectant eyes, Li Zhi nodded slightly and agreed to the matter: "Good, this week Cang will be handed over to Brother Yun Changxian to deal with." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he faced Yixi and thanked him: "Thank you, brother!" ”

After speaking, Guan Yu looked at the army that had already gone away, and said goodbye to Li Zhi: "Brother, the situation is urgent at the teacher's place, so I won't stay any longer, farewell!" ”

Li Zhi nodded, and replied, "Take care!" ”

Looking at Guan Yu's figure in a hurry, Li Zhi was silently speechless.

Li Zhi didn't know if he could survive this time this time, after all, the yellow scarf outside was too crazy.

At this time, those yellow turbans no longer care about losses, they only want to take this city, such a tragic siege battle, a careless, this goodbye is likely to be goodbye......

Just when Li Zhi sighed in his heart, the yellow scarf outside attacked again, Li Zhi saw this, he didn't dare to be cranky anymore, and quickly turned around to command the army to resist the yellow scarf.

In the Yellow Turban camp outside the city.

Guan Hai saw that he had been beaten down again and again, and he was so angry that he screamed, but he was helpless.

This was the ninth siege, and the previous eight were all wiped out.

The Yellow Turban soldiers had done their best, and Guan Hai couldn't blame them.

Therefore, Guan Hai could only wave the horsewhip in his hand with hatred to vent the depression in his heart.

At this time, Bian Xi saw that Guan Hai had been carried away by anger and lost his sense of proportion, stepped forward and grabbed his waving right hand, and shouted: "Brother Guan, don't be like this!"

It's useless for you to break your arm! Calm down! Think about how to siege the city! ”

Guan Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then lowered his right hand in frustration and looked at the city wall blankly.

At this time, Guan Hai had no choice, because he had thought of all the ways he could think of, and at this time, the city gate had been blocked, and it was impossible to attack from the city gate, and he would not fly away......

"Huh? Retreat?! Suddenly, Guan Hai seemed to have thought of some strategy, turned his head sharply, looked at Bian Xi, and asked eagerly: "Are there mountain movers and unloading wrestlers in our army?" ”

Hearing this, Bian Xi frowned and asked, "Brother Guan asked these pickled people what they do?" ”

Seeing that Bian Xi didn't answer the rhetorical question, Guan Hai grabbed his arm and asked eagerly: "Don't care what I'm looking for these people for!" You answer me first, do you have it?! These people are of great use to me! ”

Bian Xi saw that Guan Hai was really anxious, and he no longer sold Guanzi, so he nodded and replied: "There are a few Tufuzi, but they all let Ben Shuai send them to clean up the feces for everyone." ”

"Good, good! Good to have! Guan Hai laughed when he heard this, and applauded.

After speaking, he looked at Bian Xi with an excited expression, and said eagerly: "Brother Bian, hurry up and gather those people, whether you can capture this city depends on the ability of those people!" ”

Bian Xi saw that Guan Hai was so excited, and asked curiously: "What does Brother Guan want these Tufu to do?" But what did you think of......?"

Speaking of this, Bian Xi stopped his words and looked thoughtful.

After a while, Bian Xi suddenly raised his head, looked at Guan Hai, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Brother Guan's strategy to break the city is ......?"
