Chapter 1027: The Way Back

The sun set on the western mountain, the darkness shrouded, the night began to gradually fall, the surroundings of Jicheng, a quiet, and up and down the city wall, the gorgeous blood was unusually conspicuous, which was the traces left by the fierce battle during the day.

Outside the city, on top of the filled moat, the Wei army camped.

One of the main tents.

One by one, the oil lamps were lit, and under the shining lights, the general Zhang Liao was wearing ordinary brocade clothes, his face was very pale, and he was sitting on top of the head, and in the position of his hand, Tian Feng was the main one, and the four main generals of the Wei army gathered left and right.

"General, how are your injuries?"

Tian Feng raised his head, looked at the position of the chest of the great general Zhang Liao, and asked with concern.

The arrow during the day really worried him.

"My injuries are fine!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he shook his head, his anger sank into the dantian, his voice was very loud, except for his face was a little pale, he didn't have too much weakness: "Although Huang Zhong's arrow pierced my chest, it didn't hurt my vital point, but it bleed too much, which consumed a lot of my essence and blood, as long as I cultivate overnight, I can recover tomorrow, and it will not damage my combat effectiveness!" ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Zhang Liao is the main general, and the war is raging, if the main general suddenly falls, it will greatly damage the morale of the army, and if he wants to take Jicheng, it will be far away.

"Huang Zhong's three-star beads, amazing archery, I'm afraid that today's No. 1 martial artist Lu Bu can't shoot it!"

Yu Ban recalled that Huang Zhong shot out the three-star Lianzhu today, and there was still a slight palpitation in his heart: "It's still a mighty general, if I go to face his three-star Lianzhu in person, I will already be a corpse now!" ”

Although he is one of the twelve generals of Cao Wei, his martial arts have not achieved Qi Chenggang, and even Zhang Liao can't dodge, I'm afraid he can't dodge either.

"Samsung Lianzhu. There is no way to avoid it, what a Huang Zhong! ”

Zhang Liao silently touched the wound on his chest, and there was a touch of coldness in his expression: "Hurting me is only secondary, I just didn't expect to let his amazing archery turn the whole battle situation today!" ”

The large-scale fierce fighting between the two sides cares about morale.

When morale is strong, combat effectiveness is strong.

If morale is weak, combat effectiveness is weak.

Huang Zhong's three-star Lianzhu is definitely a miraculous archery. Moreover, the injured general of Cao Wei will naturally greatly increase the morale of the Wu army.

The main general of the Wei army was injured, the battle flag of the Chinese army was shot down, and it was impossible to coordinate the battles of all parties, and the morale was naturally low.

The morale of the cause is a chain reaction, Huang Zhongneng used the magic arrow technique of the three-star bead to improve the only remaining morale of the Wu army at the most dangerous moment when the Wu army was in the most dangerous situation. It's really rare.

In this case, Zhang Liao could only withdraw his troops.

"The three-star continuous bead archery, it is said that only the flying general Li Guang had such a magic skill!" Xiahou Yuan's eyes had a touch of yearning, and he said in a deep voice: "Although we have always known that Huang Hansheng's martial arts are extraordinary, we never imagined that he has such an archery technique!" ”

If you want to shoot a meteor to catch the moon, he can still do it, but he can't do it with three stars.

After all, it is not enough to shoot three arrows at the same time. Rather, it shoots three times with one arrow, and the time interval between the front and back arrows is less than half a second. If you want to shoot a three-star bead, you don't have to have technology, and the control of this power must be as delicate as your own siblings.

"This is also because today's sudden situation gave Huang Zhong a good opportunity to play!"

Cao Hong saw that the atmosphere in the camp was a little depressed, so he added: "If it weren't for the sudden appearance of cavalry reinforcements, our soldiers would be shaken, even if Huang Zhong had such archery skills." Today's scene, Jicheng, he can't hold it! ”

In this current situation, even a fierce general like Lu Bu can hardly turn the tide of the battle with the strength of one person.

The reason why Huang Zhong was able to turn the tide of the battle was because he grasped that momentum.

Because the Wei army suddenly faced the Wu reinforcements, a shareholder who went south in advance. Feeling the pressure, the momentum of the offensive was also a little sluggish, and he took the opportunity to make a move, which naturally put a lot of pressure on the Wei army.

"Did the scout inquire clearly, where did the reinforcements that suddenly appeared today come from?" Zhang Liao's eyes were slightly cold: "Is it the reinforcement of the Mad Lion Legion?" ”

"It's not!"

Tian Feng hurriedly reported and said: "This reinforcement is the Karasuma cavalry, a cavalry composed of young and strong people personally recruited by the Louban County Shoulou Ban in Louban County and Yuyang County, the young and strong of the Karasuma tribe, they are cavalry on the horse, and they don't need to be trained, so they will go south so quickly to reinforce, faster than the Wild Lion Legion, but the strength is not much, only about 8,000, plus the remnants of the two cavalry left by Huang Zhong outside the city, it is just over 10,000!" ”

"Lou Ban?"

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth: "He is a foreign race, and he is really desperate for Dongwu!" ”

"General, the Karasuma tribe has already surrendered to Eastern Wu, as far as we know, the harmony between them has been good over the years, so it is not surprising that the Karasuma cavalry went south to reinforce Jicheng at this time!"

Yu Ban stood up and said: "And they only have less than 10,000 soldiers and horses now, as long as we are properly prepared, they will not be able to affect the battle of Jicheng!" ”

"General, why don't we try to attack Jicheng at night!"

Xu Huang's tiger eyes were like rainbows, and he shouted: "Huang Zhong fought very hard today, and now that we have withdrawn, he has just breathed a sigh of relief, and he definitely didn't expect that we would attack Jicheng at night!" ”

"That's not the right plan!"

When Cao Hong heard this, he shook his head and put forward a different opinion: "Today's bloody battle lasted a whole day, and the officers and men of our army were already tired, without a night's cultivation, and had no ability to continue to fight, besides, this battle has reached this point, how can Huang Zhong be a little lax against us!" ”

"What General Cao Hong said is even!"

Zhang Liao's eyes became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "At this time, we don't think that we can use sneak attacks to solve the battle, only a strong attack can maintain our peak morale, and tomorrow morning, the whole army will attack again, but Xu Huang, you still have to move tonight!" ”

"Please command, General!" Xu Huang stood up.

"You immediately lead fifteen thousand cavalry!"

Zhang Liao was murderous: "Towards the northeast position, drive out all the Eastern Wu cavalry that is lingering outside Jicheng City, Lou Ban, Huang Xu, Lu Lan, and others." It is not necessary to kill them, but at least let them not get close to Jicheng for at least three days, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, if they come and attack us at any time, even if the combat strength is insufficient. It's enough to disturb the morale of our soldiers, and I don't want them to show up again to make trouble, so that they will fail like today, so I take the initiative to take action, if they take the initiative to fight, kill them, if they run away, drive them out! ”

Cavalry fights between each other, and the other side wants to kill the other. It's a little difficult, but with Xu Huang's ability, if you want to drive them out of Jicheng, you can still do it.

"No!"

Xu Huang arched his hands, led the order, and then led a group of cavalry to chase and kill the cavalry of Lou Ban overnight.

"Let's all go and recuperate, and hurry up to recharge. Tomorrow we must take Jicheng! ”

Zhang Liao looked at the remaining generals and said coldly.

"No!"

The generals commanded. Left the main camp.

"General, are your injuries really okay?" After everyone left the camp, Tian Feng looked at Zhang Liao with an obviously pale look and asked in a low voice.

"It's fine!"

Zhang Liao sighed, his injury was not as easy as he said, and he said with a wry smile: "Huang Zhong's archery technique is indeed extremely powerful. The generals who approached him within fifty paces rarely survived, and under the three-star beads, there was no way to avoid it, and the strength of the arrows was fierce. It can also break through my armor and hurt my origin, in a short period of time, I can't use my strength too much, and my combat power is only sixty percent! ”

"General, you can watch the battle tomorrow, although we have not been able to take Jicheng today, but Jicheng is now in danger, no matter how strong Huang Zhong is, which little force in his hand can no longer withstand a strong attack for a few days!"

"That's what I said, but if I can't take Jicheng for a day, I'm not at ease for a day!"

Zhang Liao raised his head, his eyes were melodious, and he said in a deep voice: "Lou Ban can go south to reinforce, then the cavalry of the Madness Lion Legion is probably about to arrive, once the Madness Lion Legion joins this battle, the pressure we face will become greater!" ”

"Based on the news from our ghost soldiers, the reinforcements of the Wild Lion Legion are still in Yuyang, and there should be a few days left!" Tian Feng said.

"I don't believe in the intelligence of the ghost pawn in Youzhou anymore!"

Zhang Liao said coldly: "If there is no problem with the ghost pawn's intelligence network in Youzhou, then there will be no connection between us and Lejin, which proves that the ghost pawn's intelligence network in Youzhou has an accident, so we can only trust our scouts now!" ”

"I've sent the scouts out!" Tian Feng nodded.

"Send more, keep an eye on the direction of Yuyang!" Zhang Liaodao.

"No!" Tian Feng received the order.

"Report!"

At this time, outside the camp, a deep voice suddenly sounded.

"Come in!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he was a little surprised in his heart, his eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Report to the General, this is news from the ghost pawn side from the Shanggu County side!" A personal guard sent a secret letter with both hands: "Please take a look at the general!" ”

"News from Upper Valley County? It's news from Lejin! ”

Zhang Liao's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, he hurriedly opened the letter, his eyes were stunned, the whole person's expression was stunned for a moment, the blood all over his body flowed backwards, and his face was as pale as a blank piece of paper.

"General, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Feng always thought that Zhang Liao was the kind of person who was as stable as Mount Tai no matter what happened, and rarely saw Zhang Liao look so distraught, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"See for yourself!" Zhang Liao's palms trembled, and he handed over the secret letter.

"How is this possible?"

Tian Feng saw it, his pupils also contracted suddenly, and he really couldn't believe the news from this secret letter.

Lejin was wiped out?

Zuo Shanwei, the main force of the twelve guards of the Great Wei Dynasty, actually all folded in Shanggu County, not even a single one escaped, and Le Jin's life and death are unknown?

"Xianbei !!!"

Zhang Liao couldn't help but shout angrily: "My big Wei Yuer will not die!" ”

They have made thousands of calculations, and they have missed a Xianbei tribe.

At the beginning, they thought that even if the Xianbei people sent troops, they would only fall into the stone, but what they never imagined was that this grassland alien race who had such a deep blood feud in Dongwu actually sent troops to help Dongwu, and this stuffy stick was ruthless.

"Pang Tong!" Tian Feng gritted his teeth: "What a phoenix, amazing!" ”

"I should have thought a long time ago, in this Youzhou, the only thing Pang Tong can invite is the Xianbei soldiers, damn it, why couldn't I wake up earlier!" Zhang Liao blamed himself, and was a little angry: "Lejin is too light on the enemy, and he goes deep alone, which is bad for my overall situation!" ”

"General, now it's not a problem with Lejin, it's a problem with our main force of soldiers and horses!" Tian Feng reminded and said: "The Xianbei soldiers and horses are very strong, and their combat effectiveness is not weak, if they join the battle, the situation in Youzhou will be variable!" ”

"You mean ......"

Zhang Liao gasped, and his eyes became cold: "Pang Shiyuan, does he have such a big appetite?" ”

"General, look at the time of this battle, if Pang Tong wants to reinforce Jicheng, now the Xianbei Iron Cavalry has appeared in Jicheng, but why is there still no sign of the Xianbei cavalry in Jicheng now?"

Tian Feng pointed to a sand table in the middle camp, and analyzed carefully: "This shows that Pang Tong not only wants to keep Youzhou, he also wants to give us a fatal blow, we are now pressing the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, there are 200,000 strong, frontal combat, even if the Xianbei soldiers and horses plus the reinforcements of the Wild Lion Legion, they can only be equal to us, but don't forget our weaknesses, we rely on Zhuo County, once Zhuo County is lost, we will be trapped alive in Youzhou, I'm afraid this is Pang Tong's strategy!" ”

"Zhuojun?"

Zhang Liao felt a chill in his heart, and looked at the terrain of the sand table: "If you go south to Zhuojun from the direction of Daijun, with the strength of the Xianbei cavalry, shouldn't it be in the west of Zhuojun at this time!" ”

"We've got the news too late, I'm afraid their army has already entered Zhuo County by this time!"

Tian Feng looked at Zhang Liao and said: "Now we only have two choices, either immediately withdraw our troops and retreat to Jizhou, or take Jicheng in one go, only by taking Jicheng as the foundation, we are not afraid of any siege, with the strength in our hands, as long as we can sit in Jicheng, even if Zhuojun is taken by them, it will not hinder it!" ”

"Retirement?"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he gritted his teeth: "I'm not reconciled, Dawei is unwilling, Your Majesty is unwilling, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Dawei are unwilling, and now we have only one way, to take Jicheng." ”

"General, I have a way to do two!" Tian Feng said.

"Say!" Zhang Liao's eyes lit up.

"We want to attack Jicheng, but we also have to guard against the unfavorable situation of the back road, after all, we now have 200,000 main elites, we must be careful, if these soldiers are folded in Youzhou, then we will really break our muscles and bones!"

Tian Feng pointed to Zhuojun and said: "Now the Wild Lion Legion can't stop them, in fact, we can let go of the port of Youzhou, so I propose, while attacking Jicheng, on the other hand, send the 20,000 elites who guard the port of Youzhou to the south and defend Zhuoxian, this is our retreat, as long as Zhuoxian is in our hands, then we are not afraid of the back road being blocked!" ”

"Good!"

Zhang Liao nodded: "I immediately ordered overnight that Cao Pi would lead the army south early tomorrow morning to hold Zhuo County, and in order to stabilize the army's heart, no one except you and me should leak half a cent of this news!" ”

So saying, he put the secret letter on the flame of the oil lamp and burned it clean.

"No!"

……

The next day, the early morning sun rose, and the drums outside Jicheng had already sounded, and the Wei soldiers began to attack Jicheng in the sound of drums.

"Kill!"

Zhang Liao personally sounded the drum of attack.

"Kill!"

The Wei army began the final assault on Jicheng, an important city in the north, and Yu Ban, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and the three main generals personally led the charge.

"Sons, follow me to defend the city!"

Huang Zhong held a big sword in his hand, led the remnants of the city, and defended the city.

The final bloody battle of Jicheng unfolded under the light of dawn. (To be continued.) )
