At this time, in Lishi City, eight hundred miles northeast of Chang'an, the extremely tragic battle had entered the fifth day! More than 100,000 Xianbei troops surrounded Lishi City like an endless tide of Lang, setting off a monstrous giant Lang from time to time; The rain of arrows covered the sky, the screams resounded through the sky, the city was full of bloody battles, the Xianbei people kept pouring up to the city, the defenders were desperately counterattacking, the soldiers on both sides were like crazy beasts, the sword was shining brightly, and the blood rain was flying all over the sky; The city walls are mottled with blood, many walls have collapsed, looking dilapidated, many houses in the city have been turned into ruins, some houses are burning, black smoke is billowing out, and many people are hurriedly extinguishing the fire!

On top of the city of tragic fighting, Xu Huang wore heavy armor and brandished a battle axe, and went to the bloody battle in person!

Time passed gradually in the tragic battle, and before I knew it, dusk finally came, and the land under the sunset was blood-red! It's so red that it makes people's hearts go crazy, where is the blood-stained earth still like the world? It's clearly the underworld!

The Xianbei army retreated.

Kebineng, who was immediately under the flag gate, was greatly annoyed, "It's been five days!" Such a small city, with only more than 10,000 defenders, actually fought for five days, and more than 20,000 people were killed and wounded before it was captured!? ”

The surrounding generals couldn't help but feel worried. They originally thought that an army of more than 100,000 would be able to take the city with only a few waves of attacks, and some even thought that the other party would flee from the wind! However, the cruelty and hardship of the war were far beyond their imagination, and those defenders were simply crazy! Fight to the death! After five days, the people kept seeing each other's soldiers and their own soldiers die together, as if they didn't know what to fear!

"In the end, it's Lu Bu's command! They are all awesome warriors! A general involuntarily sighed.

A general dressed in Han Dynasty armor who was immediately behind Kebineng said: "Although the Lu Bu army is extremely brave! However, after five days of bloody battle, it is already the end of the strong crossbow! I don't think there are many warriors left in this ruined city who can fight again! Tomorrow we will be able to take the city in one go! The person who spoke was named Bu Dugen, who, like Kebineng, was also the highest nobleman in the Xianbei clan, and was currently the second person after Kebineng. Budugen's appearance and temperament are obviously different from other Xianbei generals, if he is not wearing armor, he is like a scholar in the Han Dynasty.

Kebineng frowned and muttered, "Even if you can capture the city tomorrow, I don't know how many people will be lost?" He flicked his horsewhip and scolded angrily: "Abominable Han people! ”

At this moment, in Lishi City, Xu Huang was frowning.

Several members of the department stood at the foot of the hall, and everyone looked tired and covered in blood. Today's battle is extremely dangerous, all the reserves are on the board, and it took a desperate bloody battle to defeat the Xianbei people!

Adjutant General Chen Kang frowned and said, "There are less than 4,000 people left in our army!" Among them, there are less than 3,000 capable fighters! The most worrying thing is that the city wall has collapsed, and we have no danger to defend! Tomorrow's war, I'm only afraid of ......"

The generals were gloomy.

Xu Huang shouted: "It's a big deal to die on the battlefield!" The eldest husband died on the battlefield, fortunately! ”

The words once again aroused the fighting spirit of the generals, and the generals hugged their fists together and said: "I am willing to fight with the general to the end!" ”

Xu Huang looked at this resolute face, and only felt that it was really worthwhile to live and die with these brothers!

Xu Huang suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said, "I'm happy to die on the battlefield!" However, once Lishi City is defended, the shape of our army will become extremely sinister! It's not a pity for us to die, but we can't leave regrets! ”

The people will be troubled. Chen Kang said in embarrassment: "But in this situation, how can we defend Lishi City?" ”

Xu Huang frowned, and suddenly thought of a bag delivered by Jia Xu when he left Luoyang that day, and Jia Xu told him at that time: "If you can't hold it anymore from Shicheng, open the bag, there is a clever plan in it, or it can solve the crisis!" ”

Xu Huang hurriedly rummaged on the desk. Seeing this, all the generals couldn't help but show puzzlement, and Chen Kang asked curiously, "What is the general looking for?" ”

Xu Huang rummaged and said: "When I came, the military advisor entrusted me with a bag and asked him to open it when he was in danger, and there may be a way out of the current crisis!" "As he was talking, he found the bag, Xu Huang showed joy, quickly opened it, and took out a piece of white silk from it, only to see that there were more than 20 small letters written on it, 'Give up leaving the stone city, retreat to Tongtian Mountain, and the grain, grass and ordnance have been prepared.' It turned out that when Jia Xu sent Xu Huang to lead the army to leave the stone, he had already made the worst plan, in case he couldn't hold the stone city, he would retreat to Tongtian Mountain. Tongtian Mountain is separated between Bingzhou and Guanzhong, the shape is precipitous, it can be described as a natural danger, after the loss of Shicheng, here is the last line of defense.

The reason why he had to wait until this time to let Xu Huang retreat to Tongtian Mountain was actually a last resort. Tongtian Mountain is steep and easy to defend, but because it is too steep, there is no trade road passing through here, and it is extremely difficult to walk in Tongtian Mountain, and Jia Xu racked his brains and could only transport the grain, grass and ordnance used by less than 3,000 people to Tongtian Mountain, so he instructed Xu Huang to open the bag when he couldn't keep away from Shicheng, because Jia Xu estimated that by that time, there were not many soldiers left under Xu Huang's command! It should be pointed out that this trick is actually just the worst plan Jia Xu has made, and he still hopes that Xu Huang can hold Lishicheng, because Lishicheng is in his hands, and when he counterattacks in the future, it will be very beneficial to his side.

Xu Huang looked at this clever plan, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The military advisor is really a last resort!" He turned his head to Chen Kang and said, "Chen Kang, you go and gather the people, and when our army breaks through, you take advantage of the chaos to escape out of the city and into the nearby mountains." Chen Kang hesitated, clenched his fists in agreement, and hurried out of the hall.

Xu Huang glanced at several other generals, "Gather all the troops and prepare to break through." "No!" Several generals clenched their fists and hurried away.

Xu Huang thought for a while and summoned the captain of his own soldiers, "I'll give you fifty people, and as soon as our army and people leave the city, the whole city will be set on fire!" ”

The captain hesitated, "General, what about the nearly a thousand wounded soldiers?" ”

Xu Huang thought of the wounded soldier and frowned. He quickly left the prison and came to the wounded soldiers. Looking at these scarred wounded soldiers, Xu Huang didn't know what to do. He couldn't leave them emotionally, but the breakout couldn't take them with him at all! What to do?

A wounded officer stood up on crutches, his left arm broken, his left foot badly wounded, his right eye blind, and heavily bandaged.

"General!" The officer saluted with a cane.

Xu Huang hurriedly helped the officer up, "Brother doesn't have to be polite!" ”

"General, are you going to break through?" The officer asked.

Xu Huang was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

"A colleague came to take us away just now, so I heard about it." glanced at Xu Huang and smiled, "The general must be embarrassed because of us!" Generals don't have to be embarrassed! Just now, those comrades wanted to take us to break through together, but we have already driven them away! We can't drag down the brethren, so let's live and die with this city! ”

Xu Huang's heart was shocked.

All the wounded soldiers bowed down and shouted in unison: "May we live and die with the city!" ”

Xu Huang, an iron-clad man, is already in tears! He doesn't want to give them up, but he can't help but give them up! Xu Huang stiffened his heart and didn't say a word, and bowed deeply to these wounded soldiers!
