Taking advantage of the fire outside, you retreated to the west gate with Ben Shuai as soon as possible. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Han Zhong, who had won a big victory, did not have a trace of success, but beckoned the Yellow Turban soldiers around him to evacuate the city wall.

A Yellow Turban Colonel asked puzzledly, "Han Shuai, didn't we defeat this attack of the Han army?" Not only were all the more than 3,000 people who entered the city killed, but more than 1,000 soldiers were burned to death outside the city, and all the remaining Han soldiers were forced to retreat. According to the opinion of his subordinates, the fire outside will burn for at least an hour, and the day after the fire weakens, it should be bright, with the defeat of our army and the defeat of the Han army this night, this inner city must be as solid as a rock. ”

Han Zhong glanced at this guy who felt good about himself and sneered, "Do you think we can defend Wancheng with this battle alone?" After the loss of the outer city, we not only lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but more importantly, we lost most of the food, grass and ordnance. If we don't take advantage of this battle to immediately break through the defense line of the official army, then if the official army uses the outer city to surround us, we don't even need to send troops to attack the city, it only takes a few months to consume our grain and grass, and the official army can take the entire Wancheng without bloodshed, and all of us will become prisoners of Zhu Jun's old thief! Think about the fate of the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan after they were captured, do you really plan to continue to defend it now? ”

"This ......" Knowing that this Wancheng has become a dead land, no matter how stupid this little school is, he will not say that he is willing to stay.

Seeing that this guy was not hopelessly stupid, Han Zhong also ignored him: "Bring all the remaining fire oil, if we can break through the defense line of the official army later, this Wancheng can't be left to the official army for nothing." ”

"No!"

Since the confrontation with the main force of the official army, the Yellow Turban Army has lost more and won less, and it has been a long time since such a big victory as tonight. As the main general who commanded the ambush battle throughout the whole process, Han Zhong was already an extremely powerful Yellow Turban general in the eyes of the Yellow Turban soldiers. Unconsciously, Han Zhong's reputation in the Wancheng Yellow Turban Army actually surpassed Zhao Hong, second only to Zhang Mancheng and Zhang Dashuai.

A group of people, under the leadership of Han Zhong, took advantage of the fire and rushed all the way to the west gate. When they arrived, they found that the friendly forces that had been stationed at the north and south gates were all concentrated at the west gate.

Seeing Han Zhong leading his troops to come, Zhang Mancheng led a group of yellow turban generals to greet the school: "How?" Is there a catch? ”

Han Zhong smiled, and a touch of pride rose on his face: "Fortunately, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers who entered the city were annihilated, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers outside the city were burned to death by fire attack. ”

"Good! That's great! You really live up to Ben Shuai's trust in you!! In this way, the officers and soldiers will not be able to take care of the West Gate side for a while, and even if they receive the news of the attack on this side, it will be too late to bypass it. Zhang Mancheng's excitement is beyond words, this battle is already his last fight, if he can't take this opportunity to break through the encirclement, what awaits him is a mortal ending.

On the side, Zhao Hong saw Zhang Mancheng praising Han Zhong again and again, and couldn't help muttering with some jealousy: "It's just a trick to deceive in the name of offering the door, if it is replaced by me, it will definitely be better than him." ”

Zhao Hong's voice was not loud, at least Han Zhong, who was some distance away from him, didn't hear him muttering anything. But Zhang Mancheng, who was closest to Zhao Hong, heard Zhao Hong's muttering clearly, Zhang Mancheng glanced up and down at Zhao Hong with a strange gaze, he really couldn't say that he couldn't trust Zhao Hong at all. The strategy of deception is very simple, but the first difficulty lies in whether the opponent will believe it, and the second difficulty is whether the person who surrendered is loyal enough to not 'fake the show' but really become the enemy's internal response.

Although Han Zhong had a so-called 'betrayal' before, it was because Han Zhong had joined Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao more than ten years ago. The reason why he was able to be promoted all the way under the command of Chu Gong, the Shou of Nanyang County, was entirely because Taiping Dao secretly prepared a large amount of money for him, and Han Zhong used this fund to bribe Chu Gong, and Chu Gong naturally took good care of Han Zhong and regarded him as a good subordinate who knew the times.

But Chu Gong didn't know that Han Zhong was simply an 'undercover agent' sent by Taiping Dao, and he had no loyalty to him, the county guard of Nanyang. Therefore, Han Zhong's 'betrayal' not only did not have a bad impact in the hearts of insiders like Zhang Mancheng, but increased a bit of trust.

Speaking of Zhao Honglai, although he is also an old qualification of Taiping Dao, Zhang Mancheng knows that he has always been greedy for money, lustful and jealous. In the previous battle in the outer city, if he hadn't transferred half of Huang Shao's military strength, the strong fortifications in the outer city would not have been breached so easily. It was precisely because he knew Zhao Hong's personality that Zhang Mancheng did not dare to hand over this life-and-death task to Zhao Hong.

"Does Zhao Qushuai also want to play for this coach?"

"Well, if the commander is sent, his subordinates will naturally do their best." Zhao Hong didn't expect that he muttered so many words softly, but Zhang Mancheng heard it. But being questioned by Zhang Mancheng in front of so many people, how dare he say no?

Do all in one's power? Hmph, Ben Shuai will let you do your best: "Zhao Qushuai is really a general in the army, and he dares to stand up at this time of crisis." In this case, the next task of attacking the Outer West Gate was handed over to Zhao Qushuai. This matter is related to the life and death of our army, please Zhao Qushuai must capture the outer west gate within half an hour. ”

"Subordinate, obey the order....... Although the main force of the official army is concentrated at the east gate at this moment, there must be some officers and soldiers stationed above the outer west gate. Even if the rabble under his command can gnaw down the outer West Gate, at least they will be greatly injured. And if he fails to capture the Outer West Gate within half an hour, even Zhang Mancheng will punish himself for this. Zhao Hong felt that he was really unlucky, and the easy job of defrauding and ambushing was not his turn, but he was assigned the difficult task of attacking Wai Ximen.

"Then it's hard Zhao Qushuai." Zhang Mancheng nodded, signaling that Zhao Hong could now lead the army out of the city.

Watching Zhao Hong take tens of thousands of soldiers to kill the outer West Gate, Zhang Mancheng secretly calculated in his heart: "Zhao Hong's gang will be a scourge sooner or later, and today he will use the hands of the officials and soldiers to weaken his subordinates, and if there is a chance to get rid of it in the future." ’

Over there, Han Zhong didn't know Zhang Mancheng's true intention of sending Zhao Hong to take the lead, and seeing that Zhang Mancheng had been silent, he thought he was thinking about the future. Curious, he stepped forward and asked: "If you break through the defense line of the official army, I don't know what the marshal will do next?" ”

Zhang Mancheng looked up at the stars in the dark night: "There will definitely be a heavy rain in the Nanyang realm tomorrow, and our army can take this opportunity to move to the west after breaking through the defense line of the official army." If the official army is not very closely chased, we will go to Shangyong to temporarily avoid the limelight of the official army. ”

"What if the officers and soldiers follow closely all the way and want to get rid of us as soon as possible?" Everything has to be prepared for the worst, but Zhang Mancheng's vision is not the worst.

"If the official army is pressing forward step by step, then you can only ask the Heavenly Master Dao for help....."
