The city is still in the midst of stubborn resistance.

Zhang Ming and the three of them attacked fiercely, and the losses on both sides were not small.

At the head of the city, the guard will patrol.

"Hold on, keep it all for me."

"Whoever dares to retreat will not be spared."

"Reinforcements are on the way, as long as we hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive, and the thief army will retreat."

The guards are going to defend to the death.

The guard went around the city half a circle and came to the south gate.

Outside the south gate, they had already sent people out to inspect several times, and there was no ambush at all.

This puzzled them.

At the beginning, they all understood that there was a lack of one in the circle of three.

But generally this side is also a feint, or an ambush outside the city, and Zhang Ming and they didn't do anything.

It's about letting them run.

The guards looked out of the empty city, but they had no confidence in their hearts.

He said to the soldiers with a hundred times more confidence, as if he could really hold on, as if there were really reinforcements.

Actually, reinforcements will be available, as long as they can hold out until then.

They've sent several waves of scouts out to get them out for help.

The nearby county town is not very far, and if you want to support, you can get there in half a day.

The guards went to the other cities to check.

Yuan Jun's morale has not been high, while Zhang Ming's side has high morale, and the soldiers are desperately rushing to kill.

If it is not broken, it will not be returned.

Storm for more than two hours, replace the next batch, and then attack.

Before the attack, all arrows ploughed the ground, and the arrow array in the sky gave people great pressure, and many people who had never been on the battlefield saw the rain of arrows like flying locusts below, and their legs were weak with fright.

The army continued to attack, and it was not until evening that Zhang Ming ordered a retreat.

After some counting, Zhang Ming and them were killed and injured more than 4,000 people.

And the loss of the city in Zhang Ming's attack reached more than 7,300 people.

Both sides are flesh and blood, and everyone will be afraid.

The guard and the guard were very worried, so the two comforted the soldiers overnight and gave them a reward.

"Baby, how old are you?"

In the city, a veteran couldn't sleep and asked a small soldier next to him.

“17.”

The little soldier also couldn't sleep, and was a little flustered.

"It's an adult, but it looks small."

The veteran knew that it might be that this little soldier had not eaten well, which was why he was so small.

"Are you afraid, can we hold it?"

The veteran sighed and said: "This battle must have morale, but also depends on luck, now Yuan Gong's luck is not good, our morale is not good, we can't hold it." ”

The creep was even more frightened, clutched his spear, and flinched.

At this time, he slept with armor and was ready to go into battle at any time.

The soldier asked, "Are we going to die?" ”

"I don't know, I've fought more than a dozen battles, and this time we're in danger."

The soldier panicked, he was on the battlefield for the first time, so he was very scared now.

"Baby, don't be afraid, if we are defeated, you can throw away your weapons and squat on the ground, maybe you can survive."

"Really? They won't kill us, will they? ”

"No, I know this army is fierce and has a bad reputation, but I haven't heard of killing prisoners."

The soldier was comforted a little, and he asked again, "Didn't the general say that there were reinforcements?" ”

"Huh." The veteran sneered a few times and said: "Look at this situation, it is useless to have reinforcements, before fighting Cao Cao, the generals are all dead, and no one can call on the surrounding troops to support at this time." ”

Taishou wants to mobilize the surrounding Taishou to support, which may be possible in normal times, but now they are all saving their lives, and it is impossible.

This veteran can also be regarded as seeing it thoroughly.

The night passed, and Zhang Ming did not attack.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ming ordered the army to redeploy.

This time, instead of calling the formation, he asked the soldiers to maintain a kind of coercion.

"Don't rush to attack, after half an hour, let them see our mighty military formation."

Silence is sometimes a great threat.

The soldiers at the head of the city looked at the neat military formation below, and inexplicably felt a lot of pressure.

Stress can be scary, it can be devastating.

"Cavalry company, attack."

It's written wrong, start over.

"Whole army, attack."

At the sound of an order, the army again began to attack in three directions.

Quickly approaching, the archers reached within range of the city, immediately crouched down on one knee and began to attack.

After a few waves of rapid attack, the enemy's counterattack was noticeably very weak.

Their archers suffered heavy losses, and their morale had long since been lost.

After several rounds of arrow attacks, Zhang Ming and their infantry quickly began to charge.

Morale is like a rainbow.

Death is like home.

Zhang Ming's army pounced, set up a ladder and began to rush.

Several young generals personally went to the top of the city and climbed quickly to avoid the attack from above.

Shortly after the beginning, many people were scared.

These are Yuan Shao's second-line troops, either old or some recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

Yuan Shao's elite had already been lost in the Battle of Guandu.

After the attack began, Zhang Ming's army was a deadly onslaught.

This kind of momentum makes many recruits who have never seen the battlefield afraid.

Many wanted to escape, but at least cowered and did not dare to step forward.

Once they start to avoid the war, Zhang Ming's chance will come.

A few young generals, with their troops, went to the head of the city.

Fighting began at the head of the city.

Gao Ran and Xu Huang also took the opportunity to kill them.

The two generals killed, and the enemy suddenly couldn't hold on.

They began to run down the city.

The guard was not an opponent at all, and when he saw that the general trend had gone, he didn't dare to stay, so he rushed out to the south gate with his people.

Zhang Ming did not intercept.

The city gate was opened, and Xu Huang came to greet him.

"Grandma Bear, run really fast, lord, why don't we chase and kill."

"I'm not interested, this group of people is too weak."

Xu Huang nodded, it is true, they are all a group of troops who have not been on the battlefield much, some may be to eat for a while, and they have just joined the army.

Zhang Ming entered the city, ordered the city gate to be closed, and began to count the supplies.

The supplies must be counted, because Zhang Ming and they plan to stay here permanently.

"Report, lord."

"There are more than 10,000 other support troops, and they still continue to kill in the direction of Tang County at this time."

The other part of the Yuan army only dispatched more than 10,000 people, and not all of them went to battle.

Zhang Ming shouted: "Gao Lan, you immediately lead 15,000 people to support Yan Rou and annihilate this team, and if you can make a forced landing, try to force land and resolve the battle as soon as possible." ”

"After eating this army, go directly north and take the entire territory of Zhongshan County."

"Yes, my lord."

Gao Ran quickly went into action.

This matter was handed over to Gao Ran because he had just joined, and he didn't have much credit yet, just so he could brush up the credit.

Xu Huang is an old subordinate and has a lot of credit, but he doesn't need any credit at all.

Gao Ran took the order and left, and Zhang Ming said to Xu Huang: "Strengthen the defense immediately, and the garrison army in our rear will be stationed here in the future." ”

Once this is reached, Zhang Ming will turn this place into the front line, and the city in the rear will not have to suffer, and let the defenders take over here.

The main battle army cannot be dragged and cannot be left to defend the city, so let the army in the rear take over.

Now, in the center of Zhang Ming, some cities have no defenders.
