Chapter 642: The Fall of the Famous General
On the second day after Guan Yu took over the attack on Deng County, on the ninth day of the entire defensive battle of Deng County, the Han army still did not conquer Deng County.
There was a chance to fight down.
At that time, after Zhang Liao fainted due to physical exhaustion on the city tower, the overall defense of the Wei army plummeted due to the lack of unified command and the turmoil in the military spirit caused by Zhang Liao's fainting.
This was originally a very good opportunity, and Guan Yu did seize this opportunity, and he could break through Deng County in one fell swoop.
However, all of this was completely destroyed by Zhang Liao's stop at the head of the city.
Deng County has still not been captured, but Zhang Liao Zhang Liao is estimated to not live for a few days.
Guan Yu is very aware of the importance of Zhang Liao's stop, but in the same way, Guan Yu knows even more that in that situation, Zhang Liao can still stand up, and what kind of price he has to pay.
People in this era don't know much about medicine, but Guan Yu always knows a phenomenon - returning to the light.
Yes, in Guan Yu's view, Zhang Liao's stop is just a return to the light.
After all, based on Guan Yu's understanding of Zhang Liao's injuries, coupled with the continuous offensive and defensive operations in the past few days, Zhang Liao, who has been unable to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, should have reached the limit a long time ago, and it is already a miracle to be able to hold on to the command and soldiers to defend the city, how can he still stand under the banner of Shuai in person and inspire the whole army? !
Guan Yu couldn't think of any other explanation other than to return to the light.
Zhang Liao's station, although he defended Deng County, in Guan Yu's view, Zhang Liao must also be dying.
This made Guan Yu suddenly feel in a trance, and his heart was full of emotion.
Guan Yu must be reluctant and regretful for his friend's imminent death, but Guan Yu is also full of admiration for his friend's courage to be loyal to the country.
In this life, I have to know far and wide, and I have no regrets.
As for Deng County, without the support of Wenyuan, Deng County is no longer a concern.
At this time, in the city of Dengxian County, in the tent of the Wei army, Zhang Liao was lying on his bed, motionless.
Zhang Liao is not dead yet, but it is not far away.
During the day, on the upper floor of Deng County, Zhang Liao was indeed in command of the battle for several days, and his injuries were aggravated and his physical strength was exhausted, so he fainted, but it didn't take long for Zhang Liao to wake up under the care and call of his personal guards.
To be honest, at this time, if Zhang Liao gave up the command and temporarily returned to the camp to recuperate for a day or two, although it could not prevent the deterioration of the injury, at least it would not be to this point.
But Guan Yu didn't give a chance to launch a fierce attack on Deng County, and the defenders of Deng County also didn't know their life and death, so the army's morale was shaken.
This is unacceptable to Zhang Liao.
It doesn't matter if Zhang Liao is loyal to the country, or if he doesn't want to lose to Guan Yu like this, Zhang Liao has only one thought in his heart at this moment - as long as I am alive, this Deng County will not be lost.
At this time, send the guards to convey their orders and tell the soldiers that they are still alive, obviously it is already a little too late, even if the soldiers really go, in the chaotic situation, there is no evidence, whether the soldiers will believe it is also unknown.
Therefore, Zhang Liao chose a very direct way to prove that he was still alive - to support his body and stand on the head of the city again.
At his own station, he has his own handsome banner and cover as a guide, which can be said to be quite conspicuous, and the guards of the four gates can see it, and everyone can naturally know that they are still alive at the first time.
is still the same sentence, the three thousand soldiers who stayed behind, they really have a kind of confidence in Zhang Liao, and feel that as long as Zhang Liao is still there, they have the possibility of turning defeat into victory, and the general will definitely take everyone out of the encirclement.
Therefore, when the soldiers saw that Zhang Liao was indeed standing under the banner of Shuai, they suddenly burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, which caught the Han army who had seized the opportunity by surprise, and was finally driven off the city wall again.
But the problem is that Zhang Liao really can't hold on.
In the past few days, the reason why Zhang Liao sat paralyzed on the city tower to command was not only because he wanted to preserve his physical strength and command the battle, but more importantly, because of the dislocation of his spine, Zhang Liao had to endure severe pain every time he wanted to stand up, and he had to be supported by someone.
But now, in order to boost the morale of the whole army, Zhang Liao can only rely on the support of the flagpole of his handsome flag after standing up, and cannot let any personal guards support him. Only in this way can the whole army believe that they are still alive and well.
Don't forget, just before half a pillar of incense, Zhang Liao had already fainted due to physical exhaustion, and now he was suddenly awakened, how could he have this physical strength to stand for a long time?!
But even if the morale of the Wei army is greatly shaken, it will take time to completely drive the Han army who climbed the city tower off the city wall. During this time, Zhang Liao had to rely on this handsome flag of his own house and stand alone.
It's not a matter of physical strength, it's willpower at work.
Therefore, when Zhang Liao stood under the banner of Shuai, he really didn't have the heart to take care of the battle that was happening in front of him, and even his brain, his thoughts, were no longer on the battlefield in this Deng County.
At this time, Zhang Liao thought of many people.
There are parents and neighbors in the hometown in the early years, colleagues and friends who met after entering Kyoto, and there are also masters, friends, and enemies encountered in decades of war. There are Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Chang Xuan, Yan Liang, Xu Huang, and Liu Bei.
Of course, it is inevitable that there is also Guan Yu who is outside the city, fighting for his master.
At the same time, Zhang Liao also thought of a lot of things.
There is the hesitation after the initial surrender, the helplessness after returning to Luoyang to learn that He Jin was killed, the turbulence after following Lu Bu, the courage and courage on the White Wolf Mountain, and the high spirits under the city of Hefei. Inevitably, there is also the end of the road now.
Then, Zhang Liao didn't know what was going on, his eyes were already in darkness, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't feel anything.
But his posture still stood firmly under the handsome banner, guiding his soldiers to fight for it.
When the Wei soldiers finally completely repelled the attack of the Han army, they were ecstatic to come to their own commander to report the battle, only to find that their own commander had already lost consciousness.
Suddenly panicked, the military captains and their own soldiers carried Zhang Liao back to the camp in the city, and they were all at a loss for a while.
This once again reflects the biggest problem of Zhang Liao's department - once Zhang Liao falls, this Nanyang army will really not be able to find a second person who can preside over the overall situation.
After entering the night, the morale of the entire army in Deng County City completely dropped to the freezing point.
No one thought about how to defend the city the next day, and no one even thought about whether to defend the city the next day.
But fortunately, after a night in a coma, Zhang Liao woke up early the next morning.
But this time, Zhang Liao never woke up like before, and he could still support arranging defense and commanding operations. Now Zhang Liao is just lying on the bed, and he doesn't even have the physical strength to speak loudly.
Everyone can see that today's Zhang Liao, the limit has reached is Zhang Liao himself, and he is also very clear.
Zhang Liao has been fighting all his life, and he has long been downset about life and death, and in this war era, he Zhang Liao can live to seven out of fifty, which is already considered a high life.
Rong Ma has been in charge of his life, with countless military exploits, the marquis is in command, and his wife and son Zhang Liao have done it, and there is nothing to regret.
Although the son is indeed a little unsuccessful, as long as the son does not die, with his military exploits and contributions to the Great Wei, there is no problem in the life of wealth and wealth.
The only pity is that these old brothers have been following them.
Therefore, although his physical strength was no longer able to support it, Zhang Liao still held on and issued his last military order to his personal guards.
After his death, the whole army opened the city and surrendered to Guan Yu.
This is just to surrender to Guan Yu and find a way out for his old brothers, not to surrender to the Shu thieves. Until he died, Zhang Liao had no idea of surrendering.
With Guan Yu's personality and the acquaintance between the two, Zhang Liao believes that Guan Yu can understand his intention to do this, and he will not embarrass his old brothers.
After giving the last military order, Zhang Liao felt that he had no regrets.
His eyes went black and he disappeared suddenly.
In December of the third year of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhang Liao, a generation of famous generals, died in Deng County.
After Cao Pi, who was in Luoyang, heard the report, he was not very sentimental, cried bitterly, and scolded Zhang Liao as the Marquis. His son Zhang Huhei was appointed as his knight.
Yesterday, because of chest tightness, Xiao Hei, who was afraid of death, had to go to the hospital for a cardiovascular examination, so the update was delayed. Fortunately, the results of the examination were unharmed, probably because I was too fat and lacked exercise.
Kowtow and apologize for this!!
