Zhong Hui suppressed Chang'an with fierce soldiers, driven by the soldiers, Chang'an City, was pulled out of more than 10,000 strong men, at this time on the city wall, to supplement the losses of the army, but also in the war, gradually learned those wooden weapons to defend the city, the outside of the city ants attached to the city of the enemy or shoot or top or smash down.

Even so, the backbone is still inevitably lost, and the crisis is constantly spreading.

With a bang, another stone thrown from under the city shattered and exploded, beating several defenders into a blur of flesh and blood, and almost at the same time, the enemy soldiers who were clinging to the ladder had already climbed to the city wall in several places.

"Kill!" Zhong Yi stared at a dark red vision, summoned Yu Yong, and led his own soldiers to pounce on him again.

The city pounced on the elite, the two teams of people rushed together, and suddenly set off blood flowers, at this juncture of fighting, stabbing and stabbing at all costs, even if there was armor, it was still hung by stabs from time to time, splashing blood.

Zhong Yi is known for his bravery, and he is also unstoppable at this time, everywhere he goes, the sword light is a piece of light, and he immediately swept down a piece, and finally an enemy soldier flew out of the city, screaming and smashing into meatloaf.

At this time, the enemy army, which had not been able to gain a foothold at the head of the city, retreated like a tide again.

The pressure in front of Zhong Yi was empty, he gasped heavily, looked around, and saw that the three thousand elites to which he belonged had lost almost half of them at this time, and the original pro-military camp was also the Zhong family's soldiers, and the three hundred people that Zhong Hui allocated to him were now only more than a hundred people, all of whom were scarred and self-supporting.

Zhong Yi has to insist here, he is not only for himself, but also for the family is fighting, at this critical moment, Zhong must have someone to set an example on the front line, Zhong Yong is the main man in the city, in charge of all logistics affairs, Zhong Jun patrols the city, suppresses the law, and recruits strong men, the two of them are naturally impossible to come here to fight, Zhong Hui is the commander, and when he needs to go into battle, it can only be the most critical time.

And Zhong Yuan is outside, first, there is a naval army outside, stationed in Wugong County, just in case, the Zhong family will have someone to stay.

The smoke was billowing and the sound of killing gradually stopped, only to see the corpses of the enemy that crossed and crossed even piled up into a small slope under the city of Chang'an, and the flowing blood collected into a stream, spread into the moat, and finally poured into Weishui.

Commerce was forbidden in the city, the movement of people was prohibited, and all the food and clothing were supplied, but only to maintain a state of not starving to death, and the porridge bucket was delivered to every household once a day, regardless of men, women, old and children, each person only had one spoonful.

It's not good in Chang'an City, Sima Yan is even more sad, not to mention the previous damage, but in this Chang'an City, more than 20,000 people have died under the city, although most of them are strong men who were captured along the way, but the original 200,000 soldiers have lost nearly 10,000.

Now the 200,000 army is less than 180,000, and with the occupation troops in various counties, it is divided into 10,000, which is 170,000.

However, now it is difficult for anyone to ride a tiger, Zhong Hui surrenders, it is a dead and the clan is wiped out, if Sima Yan withdraws, then the tens of thousands of people and military hearts that have been lost will have to come again in the coming year.

After Zhong Yi rested for a while, he stood up again, took the meat porridge sent, and drank it in one gulp, at this time, there was a sudden point next to him, a group of soldiers wearing armor, they were much cleaner than the soldiers around Zhong Yi, and these soldiers were hugging one person.

But it was Zhong Hui, his face was solemn, he patrolled the surroundings, and saw Zhong Yi covered in blood, surrounded by corpses.

Using his own spiritual power to soothe the army a little, Zhong Hui asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Zhong Yi opened his throat, but because the porridge had just been swallowed, it was difficult to make a sound for a while, at this time, someone handed the water bladder and drank a few big sips before he relieved his breath: "Uncle, it doesn't matter, I can still hold on, but there are not many people in my subordinates, and I have to add some more." ”

His subordinates, all in the most important places, rushed to the front, and suffered the greatest casualties, and at this time these subordinates were lying on the wall tiredly, unable to move even the bells, fighting for every rest time to prepare for another battle.

Zhong Hui glanced at it and didn't say anything, and at this time he had to face up to the question that Zhong Yong had raised before.

At this moment, a person in front of the Wei army under the city rode a horse, raising a flag and waving, apparently a messenger.

Zhong Hui kept a calm face and had the man hoisted up in a hanging basket, and a moment later, a letter arrived in his hand.

"Send such things, and someone will drag this person down and show them to the public!" After reading the letter casually, Zhong Hui's heart was angry, burning more vigorously than the last time: "Old thief, this city has come to naught, and my Zhong family has lost everything, and I don't want to give it to your family!" ”

Viciously tore the letter in his hand, and the messenger's distant cry for mercy was heard in his ears, and no one mentioned the rule of the two armies fighting, and not cutting the envoy, in front of the angry Zhonghui.

"Father, this time the Sima family will attack Chang'an City at any cost, my department is not well prepared, I am afraid that if I hold it for another ten days, I will not be able to hold it, and at that time, my family will not be able to turn over, father, the child said bluntly, at this time, you must make a choice, no matter what choice you make, the child will obey you." Zhong Yong persuaded again when Zhong Hui returned to the hall.

"Are you trying to make me surrender?" Zhong Hui narrowed his eyes and asked with a murderous expression.

At this time, black clouds covered the sky outside, and the haze was dense, and after a while, the raindrops converged and crackled.

For the defenders, this is a good thing, and they can take a break for a while.

At this time, there was a lightning bolt in the sky, and then the hall was no longer dark, followed by the sound of thunder, Zhong Yong's tone was calm in the thunderstorm: "Father, surrender is also a choice, you are angry, and the child has to say this." ”

Zhong Hui was furious in his heart, his hands and feet were cold with anger, and after he was so angry, he could only say: "Then you can say it!" ”

The people around them all saw the opportunity to retreat at this time, and they didn't dare to delay the night talk of the father and son.

Zhong Yong glanced at Zhong Hui, and did not back down at this time, and immediately said: "Father, the child thinks that although Wei is located in the land of Qing, Xu, Yan, Henan, Hebei, You, and Si, even if there is a rebellion in Xuzhou and Youzhou, there are also six and a half states, and there are a total of thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and Wei is half of it, even so, the 200,000 soldiers mobilized by the Sima family now are already doing their best. ”

"Now these 200,000 soldiers have been attacking for more than half a month, and there are 20,000 people who have been damaged, if they continue to fight, the losses will be further expanded, and this Chang'an City will be defeated, and I think that the Sima family will have to lose 50,000 soldiers, and this kind of loss, even if it is the prestige of the Sima family for decades, it is impossible to easily suppress it."

"Now Chang'an City has been surrounded, although it seems that it can go out, in fact, it is okay to defend the city, once out of the city, even if there are 20,000 soldiers in my family, I am afraid that I will not be able to support it for a day, and there is no way out!"

"Father, we can only defend the city, how long can these 20,000 soldiers support? The Sima family has suffered huge losses, once the city is broken, can my family fall? ”

"Er Ke asserts that once Sima Yan breaks the city, he will slaughter the city with troops to boost morale and appease the soldiers, so that he can continue to attack with troops, and no one in my family can live!"

This kind of massacre of the city is not the meaning of all the massacres carried out by Cao Cao back then, it refers to the plundering of the army, of course, there are also burning, and the people have to die countless times, but the backbone of the resistance in the city is that no one can survive.

Zhong Yong's words depicted this terrible picture, Zhong Hui felt an irresistible chill in his heart, thinking about it carefully, Zhong Yong's words were all questions that he was thinking about every day.

Zhong Hui knew that what Zhong Yong said was the truth, but it was also difficult to make him surrender, and now, he surrendered, and the survival of the family was also in a thought, he thought about it for a while, coughed, and asked gloomily: "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Zhong Yong smiled bitterly and said: "At this time, the child has three strategies for you to choose, the first is to surrender to the Sima family and give up Chang'an City, but as I said just now, this road, it is difficult to save my life, I am afraid that I will be killed afterwards, and the survival of my family is also in the mind of the Sima family." ”

Zhong Hui naturally knew, and it was not a short time to follow Sima Zhao, he naturally knew the taboo of the Sima family, which was why he had to raise the banner of rebellion, just like Zhuge was born back then.

Raising the dead is what the great families are doing, and it is not a capital crime; Zhuge died when he supervised the soldiers in Huainan for several years, just like Sima Yi supervised the soldiers in Guanzhong back then, so it was naturally a capital crime.

Zhong Hui knew that Zhong Yong's words were seventy percent likely, especially in this case, it would only be more and not less, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What about the second?" ”

"Second, it's the same as just now, now Sima Yanwei is three queyi, although it is a false way to escape, but if my father leads his own cavalry and breaks through with all the elites, there is also a little way to escape, but in this way, there will be no day to turn over in the future, if you can escape the pursuit, you can hide your name outside the plug."

Zhong Hui frowned, this is a strategy of nine deaths and one life, he knows that Sima Yan still has 50,000 Xiongnu Xianbei coalition troops, and this escape to the north is nine deaths and one life.

Motioning Zhong Yong to continue: "The third way is to join forces with Liu Yi, the Han lord who has already stationed troops in Chencang, and ask the Han lord to send troops. ”

"Now that Chencang County has fallen, although Yi County and Wugong County have not fallen, but it has no meaning, the Han Lord led 100,000 people to the east, how many days can these two counties resist? Maybe he will surrender without a fight, this is already doomed to be lost, and my father doesn't have to be sorry. ”

"At this time, my father can write a letter in person, inviting the Han lord to come east, this Yi County and Wugong County, as a reward, to the Han lord, when the time comes, the Han lord will lead 100,000 male soldiers to the east, and Sima Yan will dare to attack the city with all his might, which will form a balance between the three families."

"When the time comes, whether it is war or peace, even if it is surrendered to one side, there is capital, which is the most beneficial to the father." Zhong Yong finally said sincerely.

When Zhong Hui heard this, he fell into silence, and after a long time, Fang said: "What you said is reasonable, I will write a letter in my hand, and let Yuan'er contact Liu Yi." ”

Just a day later, Yang Yi, who was 200 miles away, received this letter asking for help.

Yang Yi personally met Zhong Yuan, and after a little observation, he knew it in his heart, and read the letter from Zhong Hui that he brought, just looked at it, and handed it to Yan Yu, Zhang Yi and others beside him.

After reading the letter, Yan Yu said, "Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity to fight." ”

The voice was not high, and he spoke categorically, and Zhong Yuan on the side was shocked in his heart.

"The war is warable, Yixian County can be taken with a book, and Zhong Yuanjun of Wugong County will also open the door, but Huaili County, the county of Fufeng County, has been intercepted by Sima Yan, and there are 5,000 elite soldiers in it, and there are two problems to be solved here."

At this time, Hanlin Scholar Chen Shou stepped forward and said after a salute: "First of all, we know that after we send troops, the Wei thief defenders in Huaili County will inevitably resist desperately to intercept the road of our heavenly army, if Sima Yan receives the news, he will definitely attack Chang'an City with all his might, can we capture Huaili County before Chang'an City is breached?" ”

"With the elite of my Yanhan and the bravery of the generals, this Huaili County will be broken sooner or later, but the problem here is that if we fight hard, then our army will lose its sharpness, and we will not be able to break the fatigue with strength, and when the time comes, we will fall into a bitter battle when we reach Chang'an City."

Yang Yi listened to the two questions he raised, but he smiled slightly, he knew that this battle was extraordinary, and it was likely to be a battle that would determine the ownership of the world.

Even if Wei still dominates the land of six states, Yanhan only has three states, and Wei has six states, but the top and bottom are unknown, the internal instability, and the land of six states can only exert half of its strength.

Yan Han is coming with the general trend of 400 years, with one heart and one heart, the same hatred of the enemy, one part of the strength can be more than half, how can he not win?

Now that he has raised 100,000 troops to go out to fight, if he can break Sima Yan in one fell swoop, this will definitely be a shock to the world, and the result will be above the flooding of the Seventh Army by General Guan back then, because this is a dignified and righteous decisive battle to win.

Taking advantage of this prestige, only one partial division will be able to sweep Guanzhong Longyou, and then dominate the three states of Yongliangyi of this big Han, and Sanxing Yanhan is indeed hopeful.

is finally about to come to the de facto emperor's throne, Yang Yi only feels that his heart is boiling, full of sadness and joy, Ji Han is also three generations, countless loyal martyrs have struggled so far, and finally bear fruit, Yang Yi has the heart to say something, but he was stunned for a while.

After a while, Yang Yi finally said: "Break this Huaili County, I have already arranged, I will be able to break the city one day, will not lose morale, and will not exhaust the soldiers, Zhu Qing, I personally led 100,000 troops to Chang'an City, I thought, Sima Yan used troops for half a month, the whole army was tired, the end of this so-called strong crossbow, the one who could not penetrate Lu Mian, I led 100,000 soldiers, with the elite division, this battle will be able to break the thieves in one fell swoop, the opportunity for success, today is already clear, I have decided, the order, the army immediately raise troops, go east to kill the thieves!" ”

"No!" The generals present immediately responded.

At this time, even if the wind and rain crackled, the generals immediately went out, of course, seeing this weather, they all put on the prepared oilcloth clothes, and hurriedly disappeared into the rain curtain.
