"That's the withdrawal?!" Liu Mang's eyes widened and he seemed to be a little incredulous, Sun Ce retreated so easily, impossible, although Liu Mang killed more than 10,000 soldiers of Sun Cejun in one fell swoop today, but he also knew that those were not the main force of Sun Cejun, the main force of Sun Cejun's army was those Danyang soldiers, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who had been waving banners in the camp but did not show up at all.
According to the usual, Sun Ce would definitely continue to rush and kill Cheng DΓΉ, who had been fighting until it was dark, and he thought that Sun Ce would let those parts of his faceless appearance appear, but in the end, he retreated like this!
It's still a long time before it gets dark, enough to storm the city again. I'm afraid that tomorrow the wolf ride will be coming, aren't they afraid! On the plain, the cavalry is the king, not to mention the heavy armored cavalry, and the wolf cavalry, their arrival is when Anhui City is safe.
"Is there a fraud?!" Liu Mang's brows furrowed, he is the one who defends the city, if it is the besieging party or in the field! Liu Mang will think that there are ambush soldiers, but now it is impossible for Liu Mang to go down to the city to fight Sun Ce, even if he wants to, he can't do it, the city gate passage is blocked, how can Liu Mang go out, fly out!
I really can't figure it out, Liu Mang now thinks of the benefits of having Old Man Chen, if Chen Gong is here, he doesn't need Liu Mang to rack his brains, and Old Man Chen, who is familiar with people's hearts, will definitely guess what Sun Ce is thinking.
Forget it, forget it! Liu Mang shook his head, he was tired, today he not only had to go into battle to kill the enemy, but also command, so that the black chess army could show its strength even more, so Liu Mang was tired, no matter how much Sun Ce had a plan. Anyway, Liu Mang can't escape there, so he can only deal with all changes with the same, Sun Ce is leaving now, just to let these soldiers who have been fighting for a day rest, why not.
"Sun Ce has withdrawn!" Huang Zhong stood aside. He didn't make a move today because he was afraid that Sun Ce would send some generals out, and Huang Zhong would deal with it, otherwise it would be very dangerous to let these generals attack the battle formation, and no matter how elite the soldiers were, they would not be opponents in front of the generals.
Once the hole is torn open, it will be difficult to close it again, but Huang Zhong has been standing there for a day, Liu Mangcheng's army, Xu Sheng's black chess army have all fought, and even his son Huang Xu has faced an enemy general who is playing with a bow. Only Huang Zhong didn't make a move.
"Let's rest, everybody! Divide the group and leave the others down the city wall to rest and prepare hot food! Liu Mang ordered, in ancient times, there were few battles at night, even if it was difficult to steal the city at night, the city was not a big tent, and the enemy who was more than ten meters high could not climb in at all, and even if he climbed up, the visibility at night was very low. I can't see what to fight with.
So a quarter of the soldiers were left on the city walls, and the rest went down to rest, and after the difficulty, they rotated in the middle of the night.
As soon as they heard Liu Mang say that they could rest, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief, and many people sat down without caring at all, they were too tired, what they needed to defend the city was staying power was to carry the attack of a "bobo" on the opposite side, and Liu Mang had no follow-up troops. can only rely on this less than 3,000 black chess army and hundreds of chengguan army, today's battle, once again attrition, the black chess army of 3,000 is now dead 400, and the chengguan army is also dead more than 300. The men and horses on the walls shrank again,
The soldiers didn't care about the blood still flowing on the ground and the corpses, they just lay down and closed their eyes. Some people snored directly, they were so tired, they didn't want to move, and there was a more fierce battle waiting for them tomorrow, so they just dropped their swords and armor and didn't take them off, so they fell asleep.
"No, stand up, all stand up, and go to sleep and eat before sleeping!" Liu Mang can't let these soldiers sleep like this, although it is almost summer now, but the cold on the city wall at night is still very strong, there is still so much blood on the ground, these soldiers are also wet with blood and sweat, if they sleep like this, they will definitely catch a cold, and they haven't eaten hot food yet, how can they fight without strength.
"Young lord, they're tired, you let them sleep!" Xu Sheng walked to Liu Mang's side and said to Liu Mang, Xu Huang was also very tired, the big knife in his hand had been changed several times, and the enemies who died in his hands were no less than three digits.
"How can you sleep on the ground, you will catch a cold!" Liu Mang didn't listen to Xu Sheng's words, he directly pulled up a soldier of the black chess army, this black chess army has two eye-catching knife edges, on the left chest, Liu Mang can see that if it falls down a little further, this arm and chest may be directly broken, the wound has not stopped bleeding, there is still blood flowing, this brother does not feel pain and closes his eyes when he lies down.
"Where do you sleep on the ground if you don't sleep?!" Xu Sheng didn't understand a little, they had already used the sky as a quilt and a bed when they were soldiers, and they could fall asleep as long as they didn't bend down and lie on the ground.
"In the castle tower, of course!" Generally, there is a big city tower in the big city, which is the place where the general general lives and lives, and it is also the place where he observes the external enemy, and the city of Anhui is the seat of Lujiang, and Sun Ce has also worked here, so there is naturally a city tower.
"Into the castle?!" Xu Sheng looked at Liu Mang's city tower a little incomprehensibly, but the place left for Liu Mang to rest was the general's resting place, how could these soldiers go in, not to mention whether they could enter or not, even if they could enter, the blood stains on their bodies would stain the floor of the city tower.
"Enter the castle tower! Sleeping here is bound to get cold! Liu Mang's words could not be denied, he pulled up the soldier of the black chess army who had closed his eyes, personally bandaged his wound, and pulled him to let him go to the city tower to rest.
"General, this tower!" This black chess sergeant is still a little hesitant, this city tower is where the general lives, he is a small soldier, how can he live in this blessing, not to mention, he was just a humble house slave in the past.
"Why can't you sleep!" Liu Mang was a little dissatisfied: "This city tower is dirtier than the city wall!" "Liu Mang can't prepare houses and beds for these scholars, so he can only let them settle for a while, although there is no bed on the city tower, but it can also shelter the cold.
"But, but!" This black chess sergeant really twisted, his face was a little blushing, and the elite of the black chess army who didn't blink an eye during the day was now turned red, "General, that." I'll just sleep here, I'll get dirty when I go into the castle tower! "The brothers of the black chess army don't want to go in at all.
"Soiled floor?!" Liu Mang chewed on this sentence. They! Look at the black chess army that has woken up there. Their eyes were full of an expression that would stain the tower. No matter what Liu Mang says, he just won't go in, they are dirty? They tried their last drop of blood to defend Wancheng, they are benefactors and saviors for the people in Wancheng, if they are dirty and clean people, if it is not allowed now, Liu Mang will arrange a bed and a quilt for each of them to sleep well.
"Don't you obey military orders!" Liu Mang knew that he couldn't tell them now, so instead of bothering to speak, it was better to order them to go in.
"General!" The brother of the black chess army was still very embarrassed and looked at Xu Sheng, counting on Xu Sheng to say a few words to him, he turned out to be a domestic servant, a domestic servant of the Zhou family. When Zhou Cheng took them out, he didn't even let them in the hall, because he disliked them, they were dirty, heavy armor, and naturally sweaty and smelly. If he soiled the floor, it would be a dead end.
"Look at what! The young lord lets you in, and you go in! Xu Sheng couldn't understand what kind of person this Liu Mang was.
"Yes!" The black chess sergeant who was ordered could only enter the city tower with a bitter face when he heard Xu Sheng's words, and he was cautious when he left, for fear that he would dirty the floor, and he couldn't afford to pay for his cheap life.
"Wait a minute!" Looking at the cautious appearance of the black chess soldiers, Liu Mang really felt a pain in his heart, they are also people, they are elite soldiers. Why should they even be careful when they go up to the hall?
"General!" There was a hint of joy on the face of the soldier who had been called back, and he thought that Liu Mang had changed his mind and disliked him for being dirty.
"Let's go eat first! Go rest after eating! "If you don't eat, go and rest, how can you have the strength to stop Sun Cejun tomorrow, and how can you have the strength to patrol the city at night.
"Oooh!" Listening to Liu Mang's words, the soldier took out a hard thing wrapped in cloth from his arms, black and yellow, because the battle just now made it stained with blood, and it also showed a kind of red: "That general." Is there any water? β
"What do you want to do?!"
"Eat! Eat well and rest! The black chess sergeant said as a matter of course.
"Just eat this?!" Liu Mang's face was gloomy, and the black chess army was holding a hard steamed bun in his hand, saying that he was a steamed bun was lifting him, and these things were made of a little flour plus wild vegetables and various chaff and weeds.
Liu Mang knew that this was called military rations, and Lu Bujun had also eaten it. But that is only on the march they will eat, and now this is defending the city, and the city of Anhui is lacking everything now, that is, there is no shortage of food and grass. Cooked hot food has already been prepared under the city, Liu Mang asked the people who survived the turmoil in Anhui City to help cook food for the army, which was originally for the eight thousand army, who knew that they would die in one day, and now with the black chess army, it will be less than four thousand, and the food tube is enough.
"Go down and get food, and then go to rest after eating!" Liu Mang is not so stingy that he doesn't even give these soldiers a hot meal, they are in danger, and they may be able to die on this city wall today or tomorrow.
You can't eat a hot meal, so let them gnaw on the cold steamed buns and fight!
"Zhou Chengcheng asked you to eat this?!" Liu Mang pulled Xu Sheng to the side and asked.
"Yes!" Xu Sheng nodded, "Young master, no, it's Zhou Cheng, he said that if the food is limited, he will fill his hunger with his nest, and he will reward him when he defeats Wancheng!" β
"Fart!" Liu Mang suddenly roared angrily, causing many soldiers to look sideways. There is too much grain in Anhui City, Lujiang is a land of production, last year was still a bumper harvest year, even if Lu Bu sent the army to smash the granary rice row of so many soldiers, but those are on their surface, secretly Lu Bu can't find it at all, and when Liu Mang slaughtered these scholars, it was much simpler Only those who gave useful value could live, and everyone else was killed.
In the end, the food seized from the homes of these scholars was more than twice as much as Lu Buqiang wanted, and Zhou Chenghui had no food? If there is no food, where did those nests come from, this week Cheng is reluctant to pay, 3,000 people eat nests and eat corn are completely different things.
You can also satisfy your hunger by eating a nest, but it is a forced military ration. This week, the family really wants the horses to run, and the horses don't eat grass.
"Xu Sheng, go down too! Let's go to the city and have a hot drink and rest! It's up to you to defend the city tomorrow! Liu Mang doesn't need to think about it now, Zhou Cheng is dead, and this black chess army also belongs to him, Liu Mang "As long as there is me, Liu Mang will never let you eat thin!" οΌβ
"Thank you, young master!" Xu Sheng is really confused, what kind of character is this Liu Mang, you say he is kind, but he is a demon who kills people without blinking, tens of thousands of heads fell to the ground in Anhui City, and the city wall of Anhui City was also designed, so that more than 10,000 Sun Ce soldiers did not even have a chance to surrender.
But if you want to say that he is a bad person, he seems to be really only ruthless to the enemy, and he cares about these soldiers from the heart, how can any general pay attention to whether the soldiers are resting well! For some of your generals, the soldiers are just a stepping stone to success. Soldiers are just a number, as long as there is money, where can not be recruited. This concept is even more true for those scholars, who only have interests in their eyes, and with interests they can do something.
