As the battle ended, Chang Tian looked at his already exhausted soldiers, especially the men under Sun Dali's command, who had been fighting for a day before, and were much more tired than the thousand cavalry who had been resting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Count the number of people!" Changtian ordered.

"Our army suffered 659 wounded, including 89 cavalrymen, 203 killed and 35 cavalry." It didn't take long for Li Ran to report the numbers in a deep voice.

"Collect the corpses, put them in the ground tomorrow, arrange for the wounded soldiers to seek medical treatment immediately, and no more dead people can be killed." Changtian said silently.

Although there was no expression on his face, his heart was very uneasy.

When he was in Wancheng, because he fought a tailwind battle, there were very few casualties.

But as soon as he arrived at Shangcai, he encountered extremely fierce fighting, and now at least 400 people have died under his command, and nearly 1,000 have been wounded, even if there are excellent doctors, they will not be able to recover for a day or two.

But there is no doubt that the siege will continue.

If He Yi and the others don't take down the Runan County Zhishang Cai, then they will definitely not be able to support Yingchuan Huibo Cai, because someone will inevitably copy their back road, and when they are attacked from both sides, the Yellow Turban will be defeated, such as Sun Jian, who doesn't know where he is yet.

Even if there is no Sun Jian, there will be other people, and there are not a few people who want to take advantage of the troubled times to make contributions, such as Wenpin and Li Tong.

Do you really think that Wen Ping just followed Changtian because of Changtian's nonsense? No, this is only one of the reasons at most, and the other is a good impression of Changtian, and then the most important thing is the heart that wants to make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, if Changtian wants to include Wenpin under his command, he has not made enough meritorious deeds, and it is not a good chance to rely on affection alone.

If He Yi wants to go to Yingchuan, he must take down Shangcai, and these are the reasons.

But that's only one of them.

Second, what if He Yi didn't want to go to Yingchuan at all, but just wanted to be a soil emperor or something here?

In this case, he will have to take down Shangcai even more, otherwise what will he eat with so many troops?

The yellow scarf is not as good as the Han army camp, like Changtian's grain and grass are all supplied by Zhao Qian, he eats wherever he goes, he hasn't spent a penny, of course, this is also the benefit of the first epic plot, and the later plots may be difficult to say.

But what about yellow scarves? They don't have anyone to supply grain and grass, and even if they want to buy it, they can't find much to sell, so they have no other way but to grab it for the time being.

Therefore, only by taking down the ruling Shangcai of Runan County and capturing the treasury to obtain the property, grain and grass in it, can He Yi be able to maintain so many troops.

You don't get much out of robbing small villages, but if you rob a family, hehe. As long as he dares, then he will immediately become the public enemy of the family, which is more terrible than rebellion! It can be said that it is definitely more terrible than rebellion!

If you become the public enemy of the family, that is the public enemy of the world, before people killed you just for meritorious service, then now you are exterminated for survival, there is a world of difference between the two.

These are the reasons why He Yi will never cancel the decision to attack Shang Cai even if he suffers a heavy blow today, this is already related to his own survival, so Shang Cai's offensive and defensive battle will definitely continue until one side completely falls!

Your own troops have become smaller, and they will even become fewer in the future, and then go back and mobilize people? Changtian continued to think.

No, one is too late, Changtian set off from Chongming with 10,000 people, thousands of large and small ships along the way, along the Yangtze River to the west, and Shuohan River up through Xiangyang, only to Nanyang County, after leaving 2,000 people to guard, non-stop towards Wancheng, it took more than ten days along the way, so the time to go back is definitely not enough.

The second is that most of the soldiers left behind in the territory are still hovering at the fourth order, and in order to better defend the territory, they can't draw all the high-level soldiers, so even if they have time to transfer troops, it doesn't make much sense. For Changtian, in the battles he experienced, the fourth-order soldiers could only be auxiliaries at most, and they could only shoot arrows from a distance, and a frontal hard resistance would only increase casualties and be of no benefit.

Then he must use the forces he has now to win this war.

What to do?

Changtian fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he heard a noise, and what he saw was Zhao Qian scolding, as if he had found Neiying.

Changtian walked over and found that Zhou Zhi had lifted his head, and there was a corpse lying next to him, while Li Tong looked at the corpse on the ground and grieved.

It was Li Tong's friend Chen Gong who died, and the head in Zhou Zhi's hand was Chen Gong's brother-in-law.

It turned out that Chen Gong's brother-in-law was the inner response, which was reasonable, Changtian nodded.

It should be Chen Gong's brother-in-law who attacked his brother-in-law, and then opened the city gate and introduced the yellow scarf.

"Hang this miscellaneous head on the city tower and let the yellow turban see it! The old man is really blind, Simon must have been this thief who did it that time, it was too cheap for him to die like this, the old man couldn't wait to cut him with a thousand knives, and he wanted to open the door wherever he was sent, he was a bastard! I'm so angry with the old man! Zhao Qian scolded angrily.

The inner thief is always so hateful that he grits his teeth, and Changtian can't wait to resurrect this inner thief at this time and then cut him with a thousand knives.

Wait a minute!

Changtian suddenly felt that something seemed wrong.

No, it's not right, it's very wrong.

Chen Gong's brother-in-law was only dispatched by Zhao Qian to guard the east gate before the battle, even if he was assigned to guard the north gate before the war, although he knew that he would definitely guard the north gate, but the order was issued just a moment before the battle.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban side will not know in advance that Chen Gong's brother-in-law is at the east gate.

However, the other side's strategy of exhausting troops and diverting the tiger from the mountain and attacking the west was definitely not a temporary decision, and it was obviously planned for a long time.

So what is it that makes them do this strategy?

There are other moles in the city! Right! Definitely!

And regardless of whether this dead brother-in-law is a mole or not, there must be a mole in addition to him!

Who is it?

Zhou Zhi?

The possibilities are enormous. But it's not so much who matters, it's how you take advantage of the next opportunity.

Because in siege warfare, as an internal should be able to do, the means to direct victory are nothing more than stealing open the city gates, and assassinating the leader, etc., but this internal should have been in ambush for so long and has been cautious, nine times out of ten it is a person who is afraid of death, and the assassination of the leader should not be used.

Therefore, as long as the opportunity is right, the other party will still choose to open the city gate again.

As long as you take advantage of the opportunity, then when the Cai City Gate is opened for the fourth time, you can completely defeat He Yi's Yellow Turban army in one fell swoop!

However, his own strength is still not enough, to completely annihilate or defeat so many yellow turbans, his own strength is definitely not enough, he is sure to defeat him, but it is very difficult to take the opportunity to kill He Yi and the others.

It would be great if there were more troops somewhere, and it didn't take too many thousands, with one more army that could attack the fortifications, he would be sure to kill He Yi and them, and even if it was not good, he would be able to kill one or two of them, and after this big victory, the other party should not be able to fight again in a short time.

A fool like Zhang Chao can also pull out two or three thousand seventh-order soldiers at one time, why is this old Zhao Tou so poor?

Changtian thought of this again.

"No, this old guy is lying to me! The old guy must still have hidden forces! ”

Changtian remembered that when he first rushed here to rush into Shangcai Ximen to kill the enemy, the Yellow Turban's troops were cut off by himself, and then wiped out with a random killing, but the Yellow Turban offensive that had entered the city before had been blocked.

At least let himself have time to catch up and hack those yellow turbans to death, and after killing the yellow scarves, he ran back in order to answer Sun Dali, completely ignoring what force blocked the yellow turbans' attack.

The city broke so suddenly, and the city gates were fighting on three sides, if it wasn't for the hidden forces, then what else could resist the yellow turbans?

Zhang Chao, who relies on his brother's reputation to eat, can have so many seventh-order soldiers, doesn't he Zhao Qian?

This Zhao Qian's uncle Zhao Dian has been a captain, and his grandfather Zhao Jie has also been a captain, this background is bigger than Zhang Chao, how can he not be as good as the other party.

When he beat Shao Ling, the old man lost, so he was defeated? It is unlikely, losing a lot of Thaksin, and the possibility of losing is too small. The combat effectiveness of the seventh-order soldiers is not covered, and he even thinks that the old man can escape back because of the escort of the seventh-order soldiers.

Then Changtian thought about what the old man said when he followed the old guy to the treasury.

'Wuyun is interested in the Runan Treasury? As long as you kill the old man, it's all yours, hahaha. ’

Now it seems that the old guy was really testing himself at that time, and he still thought that this Zhao Qian was funny and open-minded,! It turns out that people are prepared.

Changtian can now conclude that there must be Zhao Qian's soldiers and horses hidden around the Shangcai Mansion Treasury.

"This old immortal, you have to go to him to ask for soldiers, if you don't give it to Lao Tzu, you will withdraw, let him defend the city by himself."

Changtian can see it, none of the NPCs in "The World" are easy to get along with, especially the older they are, the more difficult they are, such as Li Lin, Sun Yue, Cai Yong and now Zhao Qian, all of them are human spirits, and they are thieves when they are old and do not die, they are talking about them.

Changtian, who had made up his mind, walked towards Zhao Qian's mansion.
