A tiger is a tiger, so why bother keeping a bird.

After a long time, Wang Mang's consciousness retreated, and on the way back, he told Li Guang not to care about Huo Qubing, whether he lived or died was completely up to him, or rather, Huo Qubing was a sharp blade, a striker among the forwards, and Li Guang was the middle army among the forwards, the mainstay.

Hangu Pass.

Shi Dangdang's face was gloomy, and he desperately sent soldiers to Hangu Pass to kill him, Shi Dangdang didn't expect that the soldiers of Hangu Pass would be able to burst out with such a strong strength after a night of fierce fighting, and they could withstand his attack for so long.

A bunch of rubbish!

Shi Dangdang personally executed a group of Korean soldiers who were afraid of difficulties in the siege, and then shouted around: "What are you watching here, watching the play, all give Lao Tzu to the front to supervise the battle, anyone who does not dare to come forward will be executed on the spot, and today our army must take Hangu Pass." ”

A group of Han generals roared away with their own soldiers, they were all old men who followed Shi Dangdang's side, and naturally knew the temper of the general, if they couldn't take Hangu Pass today, I am afraid that many of them would not be able to please them.

At the Hangu Pass, Deng Zhong commanded the soldiers to continue the battle with a hoarse voice, and after repelling the attack of the Korean army, he said to the side: "How many soldiers and horses do we still have, how many equipment to defend the city, if the Korean army continues to maintain such an offensive, how long can we defend it." ”

"General Hui, there are less than 30,000 soldiers in the city who can still fight, most of them are wounded, and the equipment defending the city has not been replenished after a day and a night of fighting, and there is not much left, if the other side still maintains such an offensive, we will not last long. ”

"Damn, are these Han soldiers crazy, why are they attacking so desperately!"

Deng Zhong spat at the mouth, watching that tens of thousands of Han troops had gathered into a phalanx to attack Hangu Pass, and couldn't help roaring angrily: "Go and call Wang Cheng over, it's time like this, those under him must be on board." ”

"General, I have shouted several times, General Wang has always said that he will guard the general, and his men must prevent the general from being assassinated again, and they cannot easily move. ”

"When is it, if Hangu Pass is broken, does Wang Cheng think that with the little people in his hands, he can still run away!"

"Then the young general will go to General Wang again. ”

Deng Zhong's angry fist smashed on the city wall, and a wall brick on the city wall made Deng Zhong fly out with a punch, and it happened to fall on the head of a Han soldier who was besieging the city.

Deng Zhong snorted coldly, commanding the soldiers to continue to defend the city, Deng Zhong shouted: "Brothers, cheer up, you must defend, the other party is now about to jump over the wall, they don't have much manpower to continue to attack the city, we will succeed, as long as we repel this wave of enemy troops, at most tonight, our reinforcements will come, brothers, we have been fighting for so long, we can't fall before the dawn of victory!"

The herald quickly spread Deng Zhong's words throughout the entire garrison of the city, and tens of thousands of Qin soldiers shouted, and once cheered up and fought fiercely with the Han soldiers who were besieging the city.

Shout!

An arrow shot out of the sky suddenly, straight towards Deng Zhong, Deng Zhong looked at the arrow light with a shocked face, he only cared about directing the battle, the personal soldiers around him had already been sent out to fight, and no one around him found out where this arrow came from.

This is a nirvana arrow!

Deng Zhong glared angrily, he already felt the arrival of death.

Syllable!

A figure suddenly rushed from behind Deng Zhong, kicked Deng Zhong to the side, and with a flash of sword light, the arrow was cut down by the sword light.

"Deng Zhong, are you stupid, the arrow is coming, don't hide, you can't find death!" Wang Cheng glared at Deng Zhong angrily.

At the critical moment, it was Wang Cheng who suddenly arrived and saved Deng Zhong's life.

Deng Zhong looked at Wang Cheng, then looked behind Wang Cheng, and said, "Why are you alone, the people under you?"

"Naturally, they are guarding the Great General. Wang Chengdao: "I have checked, there are assassins in this city, the general can't be fine, he must have someone around him to protect, I know you are in trouble here, anyway, my people will not come, I will come to listen to your command myself." ”

"Wang Cheng, this is the battlefield, not a place for you to be a hero, personal strength is negligible on the battlefield, more people will be stronger, you are already a general of Zuo, don't you understand this simple truth. Deng Zhong said angrily: "Hangu Pass has now reached the time of life and death, if you do this, will the general agree when he wakes up?"

"It doesn't matter if the general agrees or not, anyway, I just agree. Wang Cheng stiffened his neck and said: "Anyway, no one under my command will give it to you, and if there is, I am the only one, you can watch it." ”

"Okay, good!" Deng Zhong pointed at Wang Cheng and said angrily: "Since you say so, there is something you need to do, it depends on whether you dare or not?"

"What's the matter?" said Wang Chengdao.

"This city can't hold out for long, the city needs soldiers, and needs equipment to defend the city, I know that there is no more in the treasury, but there are a lot of big families in the city, if you have the courage, go and find the courtyards in the hands of these big families, and all the offensive and defensive equipment in your hands, this city cannot be lost!" Deng Zhong said loudly.

"This ......" Wang Cheng looked embarrassed, he also knew that the power of the big families in the city was not small, but if it was according to what Deng Zhong said, it would definitely be a very offensive thing to collect at this time, although he was reckless, but he was not stupid.

"Aren't you going to protect the general?" Deng Zhong said again: "Wang Cheng, you have to remember, if the Hangu Pass is broken, even if the general wakes up, he can only commit suicide and apologize!"

This sentence became the last straw that overwhelmed Wang Cheng, Wang Mang slashed out viciously, and the rolling knife qi swept away, directly killing more than ten Han soldiers who were climbing on the city wall, and then stomped his feet, and then went down the city wall with a gloomy face.

Now I can only count on this reckless man!

Deng Zhong sighed secretly, now at this time, the big families in the city must be extremely unwilling to support the Hangu Pass guards, after all, whose manpower and property are not wasted, if there is no strong means, how can these big families obediently hand over the power in their hands, but strong means will inevitably lead to strong resistance, at this time, only a person like Wang Cheng who is both reckless and has great prestige in the city can do this matter well, and anyone else may provoke a popular uprising.

"Kill Lao Tzu and kill all these dog mongrels!"

Deng Zhong picked up a barrel of fire oil, directly dropped the city wall, and threw down a fire in his hand, and dozens of Han soldiers were surrounded by flames on the spot, and a terrible scream came out in the flames, and the surrounding Han soldiers showed fear, and then with the scolding of the supervising team, they launched a desperate attack towards Hangu Pass with a fierce face.
