Chapter 373: Desperate
It was another sunny morning, the sun was shining, shining warmly on people, and it was very comfortable.
Xiahou Mao was still lying at the table in the lobby, pulling his thunderous snoring, and sleeping soundly.
It was evident from the overturned jars around him that last night had been another crazy night.
At this moment, the noise at the entrance of the lobby kept coming.
A soldier with a panicked look was caught by the guards guarding the door.
"Let go of me, there is an urgent military situation to report to Taishou!"
The two guards looked at each other, but still didn't let go.
It's not that they don't want to put it, it's that they don't dare to put it at all.
You must know that Xiahou Nan has a problem, when he is sleeping, no one can easily disturb him.
Otherwise, if he starts to go crazy, he will die.
Faced with a life-threatening choice, the guards would of course not hesitate to stop this person.
"Taishou! The villain has an emergency military intelligence report! 100,000 urgent!! ”
The soldier struggled and shouted frantically into the lobby.
Xiahou Nan, who closed his eyes tightly, suddenly his eyelids fluttered.
"Who's making noise outside?!"
Xiahou Nan kicked open an empty wine jar, slowly got up, rubbed his temples and shouted.
The two guards heard Xiahou Nan's roar, glanced at each other, and then dragged the hoarse soldier in.
As soon as the soldiers saw Xiahou Nan, they immediately pounced.
He lay down in front of Xiahou Nan and shouted frantically.
"Taishou, quick! The army is besieging the city! ”
The two guards were startled, they hadn't talked about it just now.
If they had known that it was such an emergency, they would not have stopped him from saying anything.
"What did you say?"
Xiahou Nan's eyes widened violently, he jumped up suddenly, grabbed the soldier's collar, gritted his teeth and asked.
"Too... Taishou, General Zhang is already deploying troops!
There are so many enemies that they are already besieging the city! ”
Xiahou Nan's wine completely woke up, he kicked away the soldiers lying at his feet, and rushed out with his sword.
Due to his restlessness, he tripped over the threshold when he went out and almost fell to the ground.
As soon as he went out, Xiahou Nan saw the Cao family standing not far away.
At this moment, Cao looked at him indifferently.
looks like he doesn't care about himself.
"Humph!"
Xiahou Mao snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and went straight to the city gate...
"Princess, what shall we do now?"
A man in black suddenly appeared behind Cao.
"Go... Tell the emperor everything here!
Remember, about the arrival of Yu Ban, you have to talk about it! ”
Cao Shi glanced at Xiahou Nan's back in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
…
At this moment, outside the city gate, it has been surrounded by dense soldiers.
If you look down from the tower, the soldiers are like ants, rushing towards the city gate.
The sound of killing was monstrous, and although the arrows rained down and the boulders and trees took turns, they didn't seem to hinder their footsteps in the slightest.
Large swaths of soldiers fell with blood spurting from their mouths.
If you fall down, you can have ten more and rush up.
The walls were also littered with corpses, and dozens of ladders were put up and pushed down.
The siege battle is like a meat grinder.
No matter how many people come in, they will be relentlessly devoured.
Xiahou Nan wanted to go up to the city tower in person, but was stopped by several generals.
If he makes any mistakes, I'm afraid that the morale of the army will dissipate immediately.
As for defending the city, it is even more impossible to talk about.
"Taishou, it's just the beginning of now.
That Liu Bei was only attacking tentatively, he was so eager to attack the city gate, just to catch us off guard! ”
A black-faced general pulled Xiahou Nan and kept talking.
"Zhang Lian! Gather your army at once, wait until the offensive subsides, and then go out with me!"
Lao Tzu wants them to see who has the kind! ”
The black-faced general immediately clenched his fists and said yes, and quickly left the place.
Xiahou Nan's forehead was bruised, and his fists were clenched tightly.
He didn't expect Liu Bei to appear under the city so soon.
Moreover, there is no superfluous action at all.
As soon as he made a move, he directly began to attack the city, if he hadn't prepared in advance, I'm afraid he would have suffered heavy losses!
"Didn't Your Majesty send a secret letter saying that this Liu Bei's target is Liangzhou?
How did it suddenly appear here? How unreasonable!
Right now, report this to Your Majesty! Be quick! ”
After watching the two generals leave, Xiahou Nan pressed his temples hard.
He didn't understand that he had assumed from the beginning that it was Liu Bei and Xu Tian who attacked at the same time.
That's why a series of preparations were made, but why did the emperor bring the news that Liu Bei would not attack Chang'an?
If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't had time to rearm my defenses, I am afraid that I would have suffered today.
"Why is that? Who's hurting me? ”
Xiahou Nan narrowed his eyes, and he thought of the Cao family.
If someone really wants to harm themselves, then this person must be Cao.
Xiahou Nan secretly swore that as long as he had a little evidence.
He wouldn't hesitate to slaughter this woman...
…
As time passed, the offensive under the city became weaker and weaker.
It was not until an hour later that the Han army began a full-scale retreat.
After all, this was the first tentative attack.
"Qi Yu is too guarded, the Han army has begun to retreat!"
A general with a bloodied face and broken armor limped to Xiahou Nan's side and said with his hands.
"Good!"
Xiahou Nan directly turned over and got on his horse, and behind him, he gathered most of the troops in the city.
"Don't you want to test Lao Tzu? Well, let's take a good look! ”
Xiahou laughed evilly, pulled out his sword, and pointed forward.
"Kill!"
With a dull "boom" sound, the huge city gate slowly opened.
Xiahou Nan took the lead and rushed out directly.
30,000 iron horsemen poured out of the city and rushed straight at the retreating Han army.
These people are already retreating, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.
In the face of the menacing 30,000 iron cavalry, the remaining Han army had no power to resist.
What awaits them is a massacre!
"Poof..."
Blood flew sideways, and a head flew straight up.
Another retreating Han army was slashed by Xiahou Nan with a sword.
The 30,000 iron horsemen swept around the battlefield with a rainbow of momentum.
Nearly wiped out the first wave of besieging troops.
It wasn't until Xiahou Nan saw Liu Bei's camp that he gradually stopped.
He is not so faint now, and he wants to use these iron horses to destroy Liu Bei's base camp.
Xiahou Nan sat on the war horse, looking at the black, cloud-like camp in front of him.
He seemed to see a man emerge from one of the camps.
I couldn't see what he looked like, and I couldn't see what he was doing.
However, Xiahou Nan could feel the murderous aura coming from him!
"We'll see..."
Xiahou Nan muttered in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to the figure...
