Relatively speaking, the number of casualties on the tower is much smaller, the total is only more than 200 people, and nearly 200 people are still young and strong in Chang'an. Compared with those Nanyang veterans, the young people always can't hold their breath, and the more scared they are, the easier they are to get hurt. Fortunately, the Nanyang Army has its own medical team. In addition to the official military doctors, there are also several interns from Zhongjing Hospital, a total of 15 people, who are arranged in the Tibetan Soldier Cave under the city walls of the East Gate and the South Gate. But Rao is so, and the number of doctors is far from enough. Therefore, before the official start of the war, He Xian kidnapped more than a dozen doctors from Chang'an City as military doctors with the army through various channels to serve the Nanyang Army. He Xian didn't plan to live in Chang'an for a long time at all, so he wasn't afraid of offending these doctors.

Because of the medical protection, more than 200 people were injured in the Nanyang Army, and less than 40 died in the end, which is already an excellent medical security. Because outside the city, more than 2,000 people were injured in the Xiliang army, and it is estimated that less than 1,000 people survived in the end. On the battlefield, the number of people who are wounded and cannot be treated is much higher than those who die in battle......

The battle to defend the city continued, and the four gates of Chang'an were busy. Lu Bu, who has always liked to dance, also calmed down this time to take care of his west gate and north gate steadily. It can be seen that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, under the guidance of Jia Xu, caused a lot of trouble to Lu Bu. In order to preserve his strength as much as possible and reduce casualties, Lü Bu used a large number of Qingzhuang, issued swords and guns to Qingzhuang, and mixed with Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linlang to defend the city, and there were a large number of casualties. Wang Yun had to give a second order, ordering Chang'an to order Chong Shao to recruit another 30,000 young men and replenish them to Lu Bu.

Comparatively speaking, the fighting at the South Gate and the East Gate was slightly better.

At the South Gate, Gao Shun didn't like to use the people very much, because the people's discipline was poor, and increasing so many casualties would also affect morale. Therefore, Gao Shun's method is to use round battles. There was no large formation of 500 people on the city wall, and Gao Shun was divided into two, and every 250 people formed a formation. The camp of 3,000 fell into 12 formations, six in the morning and six in the afternoon, and divided into six areas of the southern wall. The Xiliang army that was not afraid of Han Sui used the cloud ladder to attack the city, as long as Han Sui dared to send people, Gao Shun would dare to form a formation on the city wall and fight the Xiliang soldiers to the death. The hook soldiers under Gao Shun have become more and more experienced in defense. Except for the consumption of human lives, even the heavy infantry could not easily break through his position. The battle was all handed over to the trapping camp, and Chang'an Qingzhuang only needed to throw the wood off the city wall as instructed, and pour the boiling gold juice down the ladder...... The probability of casualties will naturally be much lower than that of the west and north gates.

At the East Gate, Wei Yan used a mixed team of archers from Qingzhuang and Nanyang Army at the beginning, and after the Xiliang Army officially attacked the city, these temporary archers basically lost their deterrence and were immediately disbanded. The pikemen returned to their camp, while the young men were responsible for carrying the supplies for the defense of the city. The Nanyang infantry under Wei Yan does not have the perverted defense ability of the trapped camp, but he has the trump card of the Nanyang Army in his hand: two thousand crossbowmen! With two thousand crossbowmen, Wei Yan could block the Xiliang soldiers under the city and could not attack the city walls at all. A few rushing cars covered in cowhide were also accidentally hit by piles of rockets, and burned out before they could extinguish the fire.

The battle situation in Chang'an has reached a stalemate. Next, it's time to compete for consumption. Look at the offensive and defensive sides, who can stay up longer. It was the Chang'an Army and the Nanyang Army defending the city, or the Xiliang Coalition Army besieging the city.

After Pang De was captured by He Xian, he was locked in a small black room, serving him with good food and drink every day, but no one paid attention to him. He Xian neither came to solicit him, nor did he say that he would let him go, as if he had forgotten the existence of such a person. After the confusion and panic of the previous few days, Pound was already thinking clearly in the dark. Whether to live or not to live is not something that he can master, so he might as well recuperate. Even if the final outcome is death, at least death is not a loss.

"What's going on with Pound?" After another day of offensive and defensive battles, He Xian suddenly thought of Pang De, so he asked He Qian. During this period of time, He Qian was in charge of Pang De's diet and daily life.

He Qiandao: "I can eat and sleep, and I am fatter than before!" ”

He Xian smiled: "It seems that Pound has already thought it through!" Give him a small courtyard and urge him to be more active. Don't waste your good martial arts! ”

He Qian asked, "Why don't you use him directly?" ”

He Xian said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Pang De is loyal, and using him now against the Xiliang Army will only embarrass him. It's better to talk about it after repelling the Xiliang army! ”

He Qian nodded and said no more.

……

At the same time, in the governor's mansion of Changyi County, Shanyang County, Yanzhou, two letters asking for help were placed on the case of the new Yanzhou pastor Cao Cao. One came from Chang'an, the Xiliang army besieged the city, and Situ Wang Yun called on the princes of the world in the name of Emperor Han. The other came from Qingzhou, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were in turmoil, stabbing Shi Jiao and not leading the troops well, and did not dare to fight with his Yellow Turban Army, so he asked Cao Cao for help.

"Chang'an is in the west, Qingzhou is in the east. To the east or to the west, everyone should share their opinions! Cao Cao was at the top and asked the generals.

Xiahoudun took the lead and said: "Lord, the emperor is in Chang'an, of course he is saving Chang'an!" How can the Yellow Turban Thief compare to the Emperor? ”

"Yuan let this say the difference! Chang'an is a long way, and when our army goes to Chang'an, I am afraid that the battle in Chang'an will already be decided, and Qingzhou Road is close, just next door to Yanzhou. If the Yellow Turban thieves are allowed to wreak havoc in Qingzhou, sooner or later they will be plagued by Yanzhou. Cao Ren stood up and objected.

The opinions of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren respectively represented the opinions of some of Cao Cao's generals: Xiahouyuan, Lejin, and Li Dian supported Xiahoudun's opinion and saved Chang'an; Cao Chun and Cao Hong supported Cao Ren's opinion and saved Qingzhou. Dian Wei had no opinion, never participated in military decision-making, and was only responsible for fighting hard to protect Cao Cao from being killed by the Assassins.

The two factions were at a stalemate, and Cao Cao had no choice but to turn his attention to his mastermind: Xi Zhicai. I don't know if it is thanks to the health and epidemic prevention regulations implemented in He Jin Zaiyingchuan area, Xi Zhicai, who should have died of illness, is now alive and well under Cao Cao, helping Cao Cao govern Yanzhou, and doing a good job.

Xi Zhicai coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "It is of great significance to rescue Chang'an, if you can really save the Han Emperor!" Even if you lose Yanzhou, the lord will not hesitate! ”

"What does the military advisor mean, we save Chang'an?" Cao Cao asked.

"No, quite the opposite. We should give up Chang'an and save Qingzhou! Xi Zhicai said.

"Why is that?" Cao Cao was a little stunned, "Didn't the military advisor say that Chang'an is of great significance?" Why did you give up on the rescue? ”
