The war in Chencang is not over yet, Hao Zhao can hold Chencang for half a month under Huang Zhong's onslaught, which Cao Zhen did not expect, but what Cao Zhen did not expect was that in this short period of half a month, first Hangu Pass in the direction of Luoyang was blocked, and Yique Pass was occupied, and now the situation is unknown, but one thing is for sure, the reinforcements sent by the imperial court to Guanzhong will not be able to arrive in a short time.

The loss of the land of Longyou, in Cao Zhen's expectation, is also the direction in which the Han army is most likely to send troops, and now it is within Cao Zhen's estimate that it is broken, but the next defeat of Zhanghe Street Pavilion is beyond Cao Zhen's expectations.

At this time, the troops that Cao Zhen can mobilize in his hands, Zhang He's 30,000 here can be said to be the annihilation of the whole army, the only remaining troops, are also in the Anding area and Zhang Ren, Xu Huang and Hao Zhao's soldiers and horses plus Chang'an's soldiers and horses are only 30,000 people, now Zhang Fei led 100,000 troops to come violently, Huang Zhong's side of the siege is becoming more and more ferocious, Hao Zhao has issued a letter three times in a row to tell the urgency, I am afraid that before Zhang Fei arrives, Chen Cang will be captured.

Chang'an, General's Palace.

Cao Zhen put down the letter sent by Hao Zhao, closed his eyes and gently tendered his temples, he also wanted to support Chen Cang, but what support? Chang'an's troops are already stretched, and the troops that can be mobilized at the moment are really limited, the troops on the Tongguan side are there, but they can't move, Hangu Pass has been occupied by Liu Yi, this position is very delicate in the current battle situation, which can not only cut off the reinforcements of the Cao army, but also threaten Hongnong and even Tongguan.

Once Tongguan is occupied, Liu Yi's soldiers and horses will be able to kill Chang'an in an instant, and if Chang'an is lost, Guanzhong will basically be lost.

The remaining troops in Chang'an today cannot be moved lightly unless they are absolutely necessary.

"Order Hao Zhao to hold on for another ten days, and if no reinforcements arrive after ten days, he will make his own decision." After a long time, Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and ordered the guards to go and give orders.

The Han army is still in a state of dispersion at the moment, Chen is pinned down by Xu Huang on this side, and Huang Zhong is blocked by Chen Cang, Cao Zhen has to think about only Zhang Fei's main army now, but if the three soldiers and horses are unbound and united, then the Wei army will really have no chance at all.

"Whoa!" The guards took the arrow and rushed out.

Cao Zhen looked at the direction in which the guards left, but the sadness on his face was unabated, not only Hao Zhao, but also Xu Huang, whether he could block the attack of the Han army At the moment, he really had no bottom in his heart.

Hao Zhao's performance made Cao Zhen a little surprised, cultivate it well, he must be a general who is enough to take charge of Cao Wei in the future, but the current situation does not allow him to take care of talents, if Guanzhong can't hold it, it is not just a Jingzhao problem, Xiliang and Bingzhou will be affected, especially Bingzhou, which is mountainous, and Cao's advantage in strange soldiers cannot be brought into play.

What's even worse is that if Liu Bei occupies Guanzhong, it is equivalent to having a stable horse source, and after three and five years, the cavalry advantage of the Cao army will be gone, and at that time, the entire Central Plains will be exposed to the Han army.

Therefore, Hao Zhao and Xu Huang's side must be defended for more than ten days, and news has come from Du Xian's side, and he has persuaded the Burning Crotch, Poqiang and other clans that they can not only transfer back the strength of the Qiang people, but also get the support of many Qiang soldiers, as long as there are ten more days, these reinforcements can arrive one after another, and when the time comes, it is time for a counterattack.

……

Chen Cang, with the sound of Mingjin, the Han army retreated like a tide, and Hao Zhao sat down at the head of the city with some strength, and he was no longer able to think about whether to pursue or not.

The city wall has been damaged under the bombardment of the Han army's catapults, and the head of the city has always been exposed to the range of the Han army's high platform, Hao Zhao has changed into the clothes and armor of ordinary soldiers, so as not to be targeted by the opponent's bow and crossbow, every time he repels the Han army, Hao Zhao has a feeling that he has walked out of hell.

There was only one direction in which the Han army attacked, and Hao Zhao understood what the other party meant, if he left, the Han army would not stop him, and he also used this method to break the morale of the defenders in the city.

In fact, Huang Zhong's style of play is indeed effective, and in the past two days, there have been generals who have continuously suggested the withdrawal of troops, and Chen Cang can't hold it.

Hao Zhao is a pure soldier, and before Cao Zhen has an order, he will never retreat half a step, like a nail, nailing himself here.

"General, urgent letterhead from Chang'an!" Just as Hao Zhao was leaning against the city wall, gasping for breath, he saw a soldier rushing over and handing Hao Zhao a roll of bamboo paper.

The soldiers around couldn't help but look at each other.

Hao Zhao took the bamboo paper and opened it a little tiredly, the content on the bamboo paper was not much, but it was like a basin of cold water poured on Hao Zhao's heart.

Cao Zhen's meaning is very clear, ten days, only need to hold for another ten days, if the reinforcements have not arrived by then, you can retreat by yourself.

How simple?

Ten days is a very short time, really short, but for Hao Zhao now, let alone ten days, being able to keep one more day is all creation.

"No reinforcements?" Hao Zhao looked at the soldiers who came to deliver the letter, and asked with almost red eyes.

"Yes, five hundred men were sent." The soldier bowed.

Five hundred?

Hao Zhao closed his eyes bitterly, he was a little desperate, judging from the current situation, what use can five hundred people have? Even if there are 5,000 more people, they may not be able to hold on for ten days.

Looking at the young soldier in front of him, Hao Zhao nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Just you, go to Chang'an on my behalf and tell the general...... Hao Zhao has a breath, and he will not let the Han army step into Chen Cang half a step! ”

If Chen Cang fell, it would also be the time when Hao Zhao died in battle, but this implication was obvious, the soldier obviously didn't understand, just agreed, and after saluting Hao Zhao, he said goodbye and left.

"General, but there are reinforcements?" A general approached Hao Zhao and asked earnestly.

"Yes, there is." Hao Zhao casually threw the bamboo paper into the brazier on the side, nodded with a smile, and said, "Soon." ”

Five hundred people is not much, but it can be regarded as reinforcements, right?

Holding on to the wall and slowly standing up, looking at the towering platforms in the distance, the archers on them seemed to be resting, Hao Zhao took a deep breath and said: "Hold for a few more days, there will be more reinforcements coming, this battle, Great Wei will win!" ”

Cao Zhen only said that it would be ten days later, but it is also possible that it will come in less than ten days, who knows, judging from the current situation, at least today is to hold on.

Tomorrow, I can almost hold it, and the day after tomorrow ...... Besides, it's a big deal, just die here, and you can be regarded as loyal to the country!

……

Huang Zhong's camp, Yang Ren walked quickly from outside the tent, took the bamboo slip in his hand and said with a smile: "General, the general of the chariot has sent a letter!" ”

Compared with Chen Cang's gloomy clouds, the atmosphere on Huang Zhong's side is much higher, these days it has been pressing the Wei army to fight, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, this is the consensus of the generals and the pawns, the current Chen Cang is already crumbling, and even the city wall has collapsed for a while, if Huang Zhong is willing, if he is surrounded on three sides, Chen Cang will break faster.

"Oh?" Huang Zhong, who was discussing with Yan Yan which step to take after breaking through Chen Cang, raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "But Longyou is a good news? ”

"Well, Zhang He's army has been defeated by the Che Cai General, and now the back road is normal, the Che Cai General ordered General Zhang Ren to stay in the street pavilion, and he will lead the army to come, and it will be here in three days, he hopes that we can break through Chen Cang before the army arrives, thinking that our army is the foundation!" Yang Ren nodded and smiled.

"Three days?" Huang Zhong nodded,

Yan Yan frowned and said: "If our army is surrounded on three sides at this moment, this Chen Cang can be captured in one day." ”

This is not because of Yan Yan being arrogant, but the current Chen Cang, there is only his last breath left, if it is surrounded on three sides, it will be difficult for the opponent to spread out in terms of troops.

"That Hao Zhao is indeed a good general, it's a pity to kill him!" Huang Zhong nodded, the reason why this Chen Cang is still in the hands of the Wei army is that Hao Zhao does have the ability, and on the other hand, Huang Zhong can't bear that a talent like Hao Zhao just dies, plus there is still plenty of time, so he has not launched a general attack for a long time.

"Go again, see if Hao Zhao is willing to surrender, if he is unwilling, the city will be broken tomorrow!" Huang Zhong finally made a decision, although he cherished Hao Zhao's talent, but now Zhang Fei's order has arrived, Huang Zhong cannot disobey the military order for the sake of an enemy, this expedition, although he and Chen Zhi each lead an army, but Zhang Fei is the commander, since Zhang Fei has given the order, Huang Zhong is impossible to disobey.

"Whoa!" Yang Ren agreed, said goodbye and left, and went to Chencang City to shout surrender.

As for the results...... Naturally it is not ideal, Hao Zhao, as in the past, categorically refused the surrender of the Han army, Wei Guoguo has been seven years, the older generation of Han Chen, the death of the dead, the retreat of the retreat, in the hearts of the people, the traces of the Han in the hearts of the people have been gradually eliminated under the secret suppression of Cao Piming in the past few years, for Hao Zhao, the current self, is the Wei people not the Han people, the Han Dynasty to fight, is to invade their own territory, that is the enemy, can not compromise!

Although Huang Zhong regretted this, he was also dead, and early the next morning, he began to point troops to go out, unlike the previous only attack on one side, he and Yan Yan and Yang Ren each led a team of men and horses, and attacked Chen Cang from three sides.

Chen Cang's soldiers and horses were already stretched, and they were reluctant to defend one side, but now Huang Zhong joined forces on three sides to attack, no matter how powerful Hao Zhao was, but it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he couldn't change flowers with such a few people.

In just an hour, the east and west walls were lost.

"Pass my general order and capture Hao Zhao alive!" Huang Zhong heard that the city was broken, and while ordering people to block the retreat of Cao's army from the rear, while arranging people to enter the city, he did not forget to order Hao Zhao to be captured alive.

The Wei army in the city has no intention of resisting after the city is broken, and they have knelt down to ask for surrender, or fled from the north gate, and there are people there to intercept it, but the war in the city has not completely ended, and there are still Wei troops who are unwilling to surrender and fight to the death, but such resistance, in terms of the overall situation, has no meaning......
