Chapter 50: Winning is a Good Thing
At the head of Moling City, looking at Zhou Xin's army besieging but not attacking, Huang Zhong took a bite of the baked cake in his hand, touched the back of his head and continued to patrol.
Huang Zhong is not a commander of both wisdom and bravery, he can only be regarded as a fierce general with a bit of brains, but Yuan Yao and Liu Ji both agreed to let him sit in Moling, the reason is very simple, Huang Zhong fights with one word, stable.
Compared with other generals, Huang Zhong has an accurate positioning for himself, never has a sense of arrogance, and the key is to listen to opinions with an open mind.
In history, it was also because Huang Zhong used troops according to Fazheng's strategy that he finally killed Xiahou Yuan, and he was still able to become famous in one fell swoop in his twilight years.
Now Huang Zhong at the head of Moling City is the same, because the task given to him by the lord is to defend Moling, no matter what tricks Zhou Xin uses or what tricks he plays, Huang Zhong has only one way to deal with it, saying that breaking the sky is not going out of the city.
Inside Zhou Xin's camp.
"Zhou Taishou, the situation is not good! Previously, your second brother Zhou Ang was first killed by Yuan Yao outside Qu'a City, and now your third brother Zhou Ang was killed by Yuan Yao again, according to this trend, the next one is you! The great leader of Shanyue looked at Zhou Xin with a sympathetic expression, his face full of doubt.
Already grief-stricken because of the death of the two brothers, the leader of the mountain sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound again, Zhou Xin raised his head and looked at it with a dull gaze, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't open his mouth.
Especially that sentence, the next one is you!
Heart-piercing!
"Zhou Taishou, why don't we retreat?" The war has been fought for more than two months, and many people have died, not to mention, not even a single hair has been caught, and the leader of Shanyue has long had the intention of retreating in his heart.
"Retirement?" Zhou Xin was originally a civilian official, but now that the war is so deadlocked, coupled with the frequent bad news, he is about to crush him, and his brain is stuck at the moment, so he can only turn back mechanically, looking dazed.
"Yes! For more than a month, we have besieged but not attacked here, Huang Zhong's gang stubbornly built more than a foot of the city wall, and the most uncomfortable thing is that our soldiers are under the city every day, watching them eat fragrant baked cakes, who can withstand this! ”
After the great leader of Shanyue finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva involuntarily, obviously extremely envious.
"Where did Huang Zhong get so much food, even if the military food is enough, won't the people in that city eat food?" Zhou Xin subconsciously swallowed his mouth, his face full of doubts.
The leader of Shanyue looked at the crazy Zhou Xin, and he was also slandered in his heart.
He wants to know, too!
At the beginning, Zhou Xin kept saying that as long as Huang Zhong was trapped, he could starve to death the other party, but now it's good, Huang Zhong lives a good life every day, not to mention, and there is time to strengthen the city defense, but they are starved into dead dogs.
Now that the walls have been raised, the soldiers are so hungry that they can't even attack the city.
"Wait a little longer, the food from the family's side is about to arrive!" Looking at the somewhat shaken Shanyue Great Leader, Zhou Xin hurriedly stabilized him.
"Newspaper—"
"Qi Jiguang under Yuan Yao led tens of thousands of people to cross the river, and he had captured Shicheng three days ago, and now he has led the army straight to Danyang County!"
The herald hurried in and waited aside.
Zhou Xin and the Great Leader of Shanyue glanced at each other, and panic appeared in their eyes at the same time.
"Newspaper—"
"Jurong was attacked by Zhou Cang, and the county ordered Taishou to send troops to support as soon as possible."
Before Zhou Xin and the others could react, another herald hurriedly arrived.
"The east and west are attacking at the same time, we are going to be finished!" The great leader of the mountain pat his thigh heavily, and stood up in a panic and spun in circles.
"Why don't we withdraw our troops?" Now, Zhou Xin has no idea, and actually asks the leader of Shanyue who is confused.
"Withdraw troops? Yes, we can also retreat south, there are many mountains in the south, and it is the territory of our Shanyue people, so it's a big deal for us to flee back to the mountains! When the leader of Shanyue heard Zhou Xin's words, he instantly shook up, and seemed to have found a way out.
"So far, I'm afraid that's all it can be." Zhou Xin thought of escaping to the mountains to be a wild man, and couldn't help but silently lament the injustice of fate in his heart.
......
Yuan Yao's camp, Xu Chu looked at Yuan Yao, who was eating baked cakes, and was trying to hold back his laughter.
Since going north, Yuan Yao has led an army of 8,000 to almost win successive battles, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, fighting from the south to the north, which can be described as a remarkable achievement.
From Yu Qianqian to Liyang, where he passed, he either surrendered the city directly, or fled when he heard the news, and these county orders almost reached the level of talking about Yuan Yao's tiger color.
Yuan Yao didn't feel much about the post-war influence of Qu'a and Wu County, but in the past month or so, Yuan Yao's name in Jiangdong has been spread to the point where everyone knows about it.
Resisting Yuan Yao has two ways, either death or!
Yan Baihu was completely wiped out and the feces flooded Wu County, such a fierce style made the county commanders in Jiangdong unable to resist.
You resist, Yuan Yao is going to kill you, for the county order who is afraid of death, it is better to lower it directly, so as not to fall to the ground.
If you have a proud heart and belong to a tough guy who is not afraid of death, then you may face something more unacceptable than death,!
For the sake of small lives, for the sake of dignity, and for the people of the county to have no painful memories, there is no county order that has the courage to resist head-on.
"Newspaper—"
"We've seized another batch of supplies."
The herald said respectfully and waited to the side.
"How many batches is this?" Yuan Yao looked at Xu Chu, who was making a fool of himself, and asked casually.
"The seventh batch!" The herald answered truthfully.
"Order the army to continue the pursuit, there must be something good ahead!" Yuan Yao's face was excited, and he immediately ordered.
Liu Ji just sat silently on the sidelines, and did not say anything, but studied the chess game very vigorously.
Along the way, Yuan Yao has been seizing a large amount of grain and grass since Wanling, all of which are supplies that the Zhou family is trying to transport to the front line.
Marching all the way, on the way to Danyang County, he encountered an army scattered and fleeing, looking at the Shanyue people all over the mountains, Yuan Yao simply ordered to take advantage of the fire to rob.
There is a good saying, no matter who is fighting Shanyue, I, Yuan Huaichu, will definitely help the field.
Kill!
With an order, Yuan Yao's army rushed towards the fleeing Shanyue people like crazy, directly beating the already chaotic battlefield even more confusingly.
"I'm Yuan Yao, which one is in front?" Yuan Yao looked at the chaotic battlefield and suddenly roared.
However, the scene was too chaotic, no one paid attention to Yuan Yao's shouting, there was a commotion everywhere, and he could only distinguish friend and foe from his clothes simply.
"Yuan Yao, your time of death has arrived!" One of the deserters, a very embarrassed-looking man, suddenly roared angrily.
Far away, Yuan Yao also found this man, feeling his angry gaze and hoarse shouting, with an inexplicable expression.
"Haha, it turns out that you are Zhou Xin!" Before the man could start performing, he suddenly felt a sudden chill in his body, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Pei Yuanshao, you actually robbed me of my credit?" Zhou Tai, who had been chasing for a long time, suddenly shouted, looking at Zhou Xin's head in Pei Yuanshao's hand, extremely unwilling.
"Qi Jiguang has seen the lord!" At this time, Qi Jiguang, who had already seen the banner of Yuan, hurriedly led his troops and stood on Yuan Yao's side.
The two armies met in such a daze.
