Chapter 112: Withdrawal

"Think about it, our assassin history has been coveted by Nanyang for a long time, he must want to send troops, just one person to make a statement, firm his thoughts, Zirou, aren't you hindering the assassin history by saying this?"

"Although it's nothing now, if you don't know the assassin history, you will feel that you are blocking his only chance to recover Nanyang, and I will still be embarrassed by you when the time comes." Kuai Yue explained carefully.

"How can there be so many doorways!" Kuai Liang sighed, unlike Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang is loyal, but he is somewhat similar to Lu Su in Romance, and he does not have as many fancy intestines as Kuai Yue.

"Look at De Jue, that guy is like this, he doesn't say anything, he slides very much, let Thorn Shi make his own decisions, and when the time comes, whether he wins or loses, his Cai family will be fine."

"Zirou, when will you be as clever as Deju, and I can save some effort." Kuai Yue finally complained.

"Isn't this a foil for you?" Kuai Liang smiled a little innocently.

The next day, Liu Biao had a boss's dark circles under his eyes, and seeing that he had probably not slept all night, he called the three of them over again and said:

"I have decided to send troops to recapture Nanyang."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Liu Biao asked with some expectation.

The three of them shook their heads in unison, saying that Master Thorn Shi, you are happy, you don't have to care about our suggestions, we all firmly support your decision, and what you want is the direction we are heading.

"Okay, then send troops and capture Nanyang County." Liu Biao gritted his teeth and said with some difficulty.

Lu Su waited anxiously in the post house in Xiangyang City, but fortunately he didn't let Lu Su wait too long. The next day, Lu Su heard that Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to be the commander and led 50,000 soldiers to the north to capture Nanyang.

Some time ago, Liu Biao was still being beaten by Yuan Shu, but fortunately, Sun Wentai was killed by Huang Zu, and Yuan Shu withdrew his troops.

But at that time, the entire Jingzhou was in a state of war readiness, and Xiangyang, as a transit station and strategic hub, had all the grain and grass in the city.

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and most of his heart that had been hanging in the air also fell, he did everything he could, and the rest depended on whether Jiang Hong could hold out until the day when Yuan Shu withdrew his troops.

On the 24th day of holding Hefei, Jiang Hong stabbed Yuan Jun in the chest with a sword, but one did not pay attention and was stabbed by another Yuan Jun who climbed the city wall.

Blood kept flowing down the sleeve of Jiang Hong's left arm to the ground, and there were less than 8,000 of the more than 17,000 soldiers in the city, including those who were slightly injured and could pick up swords and fight.

The casualties of Zhang Xun's troops outside the city were more than twice as many as his own, but now there are still nearly 30,000 soldiers, and they still occupy a great advantage.

Jiang Hong has not been on the battlefield for too long, and his martial arts have become sparse and ordinary, coupled with the pampered life in the past few years, and without the blessing of the Five Fowl Opera, Jiang Hong's body has long been not as robust as it was during the previous Yellow Turban period.

Moreover, the high-intensity battles these days, coupled with Zhang Xun's constant intrusion at night, made Jiang Hong's expression a little dazed. Fortunately, the soldiers around him have been helping him, so nothing happened, but if he didn't pay attention just now, Jiang Hong was still injured again.

Jiang Hong dragged his injured left arm and fought hard to kill this, and Dian Wei, who was originally following Jiang Hong, was also driven away by Jiang Hong. Now that we are at a critical moment of survival, it would be too wasteful for Dian Wei's powerful combat power to stay by his side.

Today, the city wall changed hands several times, and it was not easy to drive this wave of enemies down, Jiang Hong leaned on the city wall with his back, gasping for breath.

Jiang Hong tore off a fairly clean cloth with his mouth, and hastily bandaged his left arm, too late to carefully treat the wound, the next wave of the enemy's offensive should come soon.

These days, there are countless wounds on my body, large and small, and there are nearly ten. From the beginning of needing others to take care of the bandage, to the later Jiang Hong was able to quickly bandage and treat the wound by himself, the progress can be described as full.

Jiang Hong saw that the enemy had set up a ladder, but he couldn't stop it, and the rolling wood and stone arrows in the city had already been used almost.

Even if the house is demolished, it can only be supported for a while, or it will be exhausted in a short time, and there is no time and no extra manpower to demolish the house during this period.

"It seems that this Jiang Hong is really ready to die in Hefei, and he is unwilling to abandon the city and flee in such a desperate situation." Yuan Yao sighed, "Speaking of which, I really admire him a little." ”

"Hmph, this Jiang Hong won't have a few days to live." Zhang Xun didn't expect this Jiang Hong to be so difficult, and he didn't attack at night or flee, just to defend Hefei.

This greatly surprised Zhang Xun's expectations, and also made Zhang Xun lose many soldiers in vain. I heard that in order to boost morale, I promised that as long as this battle was won, everyone who survived would be promoted to the third rank and rewarded with a hundred gold.

Seeing that the attacking soldiers were driven down again, Zhang Xun was about to send the next wave of offensives, and a fast horse came into Zhang Xun's eyes.

The soldier who informed Zhang Xun only brought Yuan Shu's letter, Zhang Xun opened it and looked at it hastily, there were only a few words on it, but Zhang Xun wanted to tear it apart.

"Withdraw." Zhang Xun's chest rose and fell for a long time, and he gritted his teeth before he said this word that he was extremely reluctant to say.

"Withdrawn, withdrawn! Yuan Shu withdrew!! On the city wall, the sharp-eyed soldiers saw that Zhang Xun seemed to have withdrawn from the army, and shouted excitedly.

After a while, the cheers from the city walls continued one after another.

Jiang Hong also struggled to get up from the ground with his right arm, leaning on the arrow stack, Jiang Hong saw Zhang Xun lead his troops to evacuate, and the camp was also demolished by Yuan's army.

In an instant, the strings that had been tight for many days suddenly loosened in an instant, and Jiang Hong's feet couldn't help but go limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Hong, who was helped up by the soldiers, did not have a trace of joy on his face, but ordered the soldiers to call Chen Zhi.

When Chen Dao rushed to Jiang Hong's side, Jiang Hong grabbed Chen Dao's sleeve who ran over, and told him not to be careless, and at the same time pay attention to double his vigilance.

Jiang Hong told Chen Dao that he must not be a big one, all this is to prevent Zhang Xun from killing a horse pistol, when he was in Hebei, Huangfu Song won Guangzong in this way and completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope of the Yellow Turban.

Chen Zhi nodded solemnly and said that he knew, and the battles of these days also let Jiang Hong know that Chen Zhi, who he had cultivated for many years, had finally embarked on a path that was very different from his previous life.

In his previous life, Chen Zhi could be a general of the first army at best, but now Chen Dao, his talent is enough to serve as the commander of the three armies, and Jiang Hong is very relieved of his promise.

Seeing that Chen Zhi was not careless, Jiang Hong let go of his hand with some relief, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
