In order not to let the morale of the army disperse, Gao Ran has been attacking desperately in the past few days, although he has suffered great losses for a time, but he really can't care so much.

On the city of Wangdu, Huang Zhong, the commander of the Second Army, looked at everything in front of him, and when he saw Yuan Shao's soldiers rushing in batches and dying in batches, he couldn't help but say in a somewhat sad voice: "These soldiers are really dying, is it just that what's the use?" ”

Anyone knows that if you want to conquer a city, either you have good weapons, or you have enough brave soldiers and enough numbers. And even if this is the case, it will require at least three times the opponent's troops before attempting to attack.

But now looking at Gao Guan, none of these advantages are accounted for, but it is still a reckless siege, what is the difference between this and madness?

"Pass on the order, the soldiers should not be stingy with bows and arrows, sleepers and boulders, as long as the other side attacks, they will use all these things, in short, they must reduce their losses. Prepare 30,000 cavalry, and I will lead the army to kill them at any time. Huang Zhong looked at the Yuan Shao soldiers who seemed to be crazy, and shook his head slightly. He doesn't care about mad dogs. While defending the city, he also paid attention to preserving his strength.

Another day of tragic siege battles is over.

In the evening, the general counted the data on the battlefield, and the army lost more than 10,000 people in today's siege. That means that so far, the original 100,000 army is less than 70,000.

Hearing this result, Gao Ran was indifferent for a long time, and he still said with a persistent expression: "Inform me and continue to attack the city tomorrow." ”

Gao Ran is also a famous general, and it is really helpless to make such a decision at this time, after all, he has no way out except for attacking the city.

Hearing that there would be such a siege tomorrow, several partial generals and lieutenant generals showed helpless expressions on their faces. They tried to persuade their general, but when the words came to their lips and swallowed back, they really didn't have a better idea.

Several generals retreated with a sad face, leaving Gao Ran alone in the military tent with a melancholy sigh.

More than a month has passed since he was besieged, and he doesn't know how many distress letters he has sent, but until now, he has not seen a single reinforcement, Gao Ran knows that the situation is not too good for the lord, and even it is very critical, otherwise, how can he see hundreds of thousands of troops trapped and leave it alone?

The night passed in Gao Ran's panic and anxiety, and the next morning, he put on his armor again and prepared to attack the city.

As in the previous days, as soon as the attack was made, Gao Ran sent 20,000 soldiers. Looking down from the city, you will see a dense area, and if there are people with dense phobia here, they will have a feeling of dizziness.

As the siege continued, I saw arrows falling from the sky, long sleepers rolling from the sky, and boulders falling from under the city.

The siege had been another morning, and by now no fewer than 8,000 soldiers had died. In the face of such heavy casualties and the monstrous bloody aura gushing out of the city, some soldiers had experienced a hundred battles, but at this time they still couldn't stop showing a frightened expression.

This place, at this time, is like a purgatory on earth, full of the breath of death.

"Keep rushing!" Seeing that Wangdu City was still in front of him, Gao Ran's face showed a hideous face at this moment.

Although a lot of soldiers have been killed in battle by the morning, this is far from enough for Gao Ran, if he wants to survive, he must rush out, and it is worth killing as many people as he wants to die for this purpose.

"The general is crazy." Some of the soldiers who were waiting in the back to attack the city whispered in private.

Soldiers are also human beings, and they also have their own thinking, and now they are not afraid of seeing their former brothers die on the way to the charge one by one.

If you want to say that fighting a war is to be ready to sacrifice, but this also has to be divided into when, knowing whether it is death or charging, then only the death squad can do such a thing. And these are just ordinary soldiers, to put it bluntly, they are just ordinary people in Jizhou who were forced to join Yuan Shao's army because of life.

Even many of them were on the battlefield for the first time, and they saw the bloody scene in front of them, which was still very shocking to them.

In fact, at this time, not only these soldiers, but also some army commanders, even chiefs, and even some pawn commanders and Qu commanders all showed fear in their eyes at this time. Where is this war, it is clearly sending people to death. Facing such a high city wall and a well-prepared Zhang Chao's army, can they really attack it with just a few courage and some ladders?

Many people's hearts involuntarily began to waver. And it was at this time that Gao Ran's new order was issued, and he actually asked the soldiers to continue the assault. As the five thousand soldiers of the next echelon, they did not act immediately after receiving the military order at this moment.

"What's going on? Didn't hear the general's orders? Hurry up and prepare for the siege. A partial general who was in charge of conveying the order came to the front of the 5,000 soldiers, and saw that the military order was given, but no one replied, and said with an angry face.

It's just that although the general was angry, the soldiers below still didn't move, but a few Qu Chang, who were quite authoritative among the soldiers, took the initiative to stand up and said: "General, probably you can also see that this siege method is not right, and if it goes on like this, how many people will not die enough." ”

"I don't care, I just obey the general's orders. And are you going to disobey? You know, battlefield disobedience is to be beheaded. The general ignored the explanations of several curtains at all, and after saying this stiffly, he waved his hand, and a large knife appeared in his hand.

This is clearly unreasonable, and he wants to suppress people with power, and the few Qu Chang who spoke were also provoked. After they looked at each other, they said in unison: "This is not for us to disobey orders, but for us to die, and even then, disobedience is disobedience." ”

When the words fell, several song chiefs also took their sidearms in their hands one after another, and they fought for a big deal.

The general didn't expect that these Qu Commanders would really choose to disobey the order, first his face turned red, and then he said to the echelon on the side: "Come here, these people are going to rebel, and they will all be arrested by me." ”

With this shout, the two echelons around him, totaling 10,000 people, slowly began to approach this side.

Seeing that there were double the soldiers about to surround him, the faces of those Qu Commanders also changed greatly, and one of them was still a little witty, and shouted loudly as soon as his eyes rolled, "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense, it's not that we want to rebel, but we really don't want to die." But you, if we die, I'm afraid that it will be everyone's turn, do you want to die again? ”

Qu Chang shouted like this, and the two echelon soldiers who were approaching also stood there and hesitated.

Yes, if there is a way to live, who would want to die? Is it worth it to force these people to death, and then you have to go on your own?

These words soon caused a fierce discussion among the soldiers, and then some soldiers stopped, and even worse, echoed loudly, "We don't want to die either, please take back the previous siege order." ”

The general who was in charge of conveying the order did not expect that these 15,000 people were unwilling to attack the city, and his face changed greatly for a while, and he would return as soon as he hit the horse. He is also afraid that these people will be angry and look for his own trouble, if this is the case, he will die without a place to bury.

On the wall of Wangdu City, Huang Zhong, who was dressed in black armor, saw the situation below.

As early as when Yuan Shao's army suddenly stopped attacking the city, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked closely, he was seeing everything that happened. "Huh." Smiling and stroking his beard, Huang Zhong smiled: "It's almost, it was supposed to be a day or two, but I didn't expect it to be able to hold it now, so it's okay, come on, let the cavalry get on the horse, and prepare to fight with me." ”

Wangcheng was ready to attack, and in the camp outside the city, when he heard the report of the partial general, saying that the order was conveyed and no one was carrying it out, he was completely annoyed.

"Can't these people rebel?" After shouting, Gao Ran pointed to the other two generals and said: "Go, you go and arrest those Qu Chang who lead the disobedience to orders, I want to be punished by military law, I want to see those people to see what will happen if they disobey military orders." ”

Gao Ran was really angry. Everyone may not be able to attack the well-defended Wangdu City, if this is not in unison, he really dare not think about the consequences.

Gao Ran ordered, and together with the three previous partial generals, they all poured out of the tent, and then ordered a group of personal soldiers, and rode towards the three echelons.

The three generals have already thought that once they appear, they will shoot with the power of thunder, as long as they kill those leaders, presumably others will not dare to disobey.

It's just that what the three of them never expected was that before they appeared in front of those soldiers, the gate of Wangdu City suddenly opened, and then Huang Zhong, who was dressed in battle armor, rushed out with a cirrus knife.

"Kill, but there are those who resist and there is no forgiveness, and those who surrender put down their weapons, but there is a way to live." As soon as he got out of the city gate, there were bursts of shouts in Huang Zhongjun's army, and they were far away for a while.

"It's not good, Huang Zhong has come out." The three generals were sharp-eyed, and after seeing the scene at the city gate, they immediately turned around and went back, and they wanted to report the news to General Gao Ran.

Huang Zhong suddenly killed, which gave the 15,000 soldiers a glimmer of hope to live, especially when they heard the shouts of others from a long distance, those Qu Chang who took the lead in disobeying the military order just now all nodded heavily after looking at each other. "In that case, let's surrender, at least there is still a way to live."
