Volume 3 Yellow Sand Manga Chapter 616 Shi Zhong's Decision
Shi Zhong didn't expect that the Hu people would directly attack Dragon City.
Dragon City is the most important fortress of the Lanshan Defense Line, and it is also the largest fortress.
But in order to capture Dragon City, the Haofeng Pass and the Horse Mouth located on both sides of Dragon City must be taken.
Haofeng Pass, Longcheng Fortress, and Ma Xikou constitute a "concave" character, and Longcheng Fortress is located in the recess part.
If you don't take down Haofeng Pass and Ma Xikou and rashly attack the Dragon City Fortress, the result will only be miserable.
As long as Haofeng Pass and Ma Xikou send troops to surround them, how many people will have to stay at Longcheng Pass.
This is also where Shizhong is most confused.
When did the Hu people become so arrogant, they dared to directly attack the Dragon City Fortress! Aren't they afraid of being surrounded?
The truth is, I'm really not afraid!
Since Song Zhi took away the 20,000 troops of the Lanshan defense line, the troops in the three joint defense areas have been withdrawn, and self-protection is still stretched, where can they send troops out to support.
It seems that the Hu people have long expected this situation, and they are even more unscrupulous.
But fortunately, the Dragon City Fortress is strong, and the Hu people won't be able to take it for a while!
But if you can't take it for a while, it doesn't mean that it's safe, the Hu people will surround the entire Dragon City, and over time, the Dragon City will be broken.
What Shi Chong can do now is to wait for reinforcements and hold on to Dragon City!
To tell the truth, this is the most embarrassing battle that Shi Chong has fought, and he has never been beaten like this by the Hu people, so he can only blame Song Zhi for being stubborn and self-serving, so happy, otherwise there would be no siege of Dragon City.
"General Shi, I'm afraid that the reinforcements from the imperial court won't be able to come for a while and a half, why don't you send troops from Haofeng Pass or Ma Xikou to come for reinforcements?" Shi Yun, who was under Shi Chong, said.
Hearing this, Shi revisited him.
"Do you know what you mean by that?"
Shi Yun naturally knew it, but at the moment, Dragon City was in danger, so he could only make this decision, protect Dragon City first!
"Of course the subordinates know, but general, if Longcheng is lost, the entire Subei will be in danger!"
In this regard, Shizhong also understands it very well.
"General, make a decision early, otherwise if Longcheng is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Shi Zhong was thinking on the side, Shi Yun's words made Shi Zhong choose which one is more important.
The loss of any part of the Haofeng Pass or the horse neighing pass will be a fatal blow to the entire Lanshan defense line.
At this point, Shi Zhong knew that what he had to do was to make a trade-off between the Lanshan defense line and Dragon City.
"Go, ask for help from Chu Liang who is neighing, and let him bring troops over to reinforce Dragon City!"
Hearing that Shi Zhong had made up his mind, the surrounding generals immediately became excited.
Now in the situation of Dragon City, it is definitely impossible for the people present to say that they are not selfish.
Song Zhi transferred most of the troops, and they all felt that even if something went wrong, the responsibility should be on Song Zhi.
The Lanshan defense line is important, but even more important is Dragon City!
Afterwards, some soldiers began to break through and send a letter of help to the horse's neighing!
The reason why it was chosen in the horse neighing mouth is mainly because the horse neighing mouth is less important than the Haofeng Pass.
If the Haofeng Pass is lost, the Hu people can directly go south to plunder, which is too harmful.
And if the horse neighs and loses it, there are still some rugged mountain roads behind, and even if the Hu people go south, they must also consider the consequences.
This time, it was the Hu people's Duoye King who led the troops to attack Dragon City.
King Duoye has a high status in the hearts of the Hu people and is known as the strongest lord of the grassland.
He had a habit of leading his troops, but when he conquered a city, the first thing he did was not to kill the men and then take the women and children away, as the other Hu people did.
The first thing he did was to appease the subdued tribe, and as long as he was a true warrior in the tribe, he would be praised by him and give the other party a chance to choose for himself.
To stay or to leave!
The Hu people admired strength and admired the strong, and the behavior of King Doye caused him to have a lot of fierce men under him.
For example, the third warrior of the Hu people who took the lead in attacking Dragon City this time, broke the Khan Tomb.
At the beginning, it was because he admired King Doye's personality that he followed him to fight in the north and south.
It was precisely because of the siege of the broken Khan Baling that the pressure on the side of Dragon City increased sharply.
The third warrior of the Hu people took the lead, and almost no one could stop him.
When the first siege of the city was attacked, the division lost three generals, which was able to repel the attack of the Hu people.
And the three generals who lost this loss all died at the hands of the broken Khan Baling, which shows how fierce he is!
Fortunately, he didn't appear on the battlefield in the next few times, otherwise the pressure and morale on Long Cheng's side would probably have to drop another notch.
After Longcheng asked for help from Ma Xikou, the Hu people's attack on Longcheng also began to ease.
Seeing that the Hu people suddenly switched from high-intensity siege to harassment, Shi Zhong frowned!
At this moment, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"The Hu people have not been attacking on a large scale for a long time, could it be?" Someone spoke!
Shi Yun comforted: "Probably not, the Hu people don't have such a powerful intelligence system." ”
Shi Yun dared to say that there was a basis for this, the Hu people have always been savage, and they are not very proficient in intelligence, they definitely would not find out about the situation of the horse neighing so quickly!
"In my opinion, it should be that the Hu people feel that they haven't beaten down Dragon City for so long, and they are a little disheartened, and they are about to retreat! Tell the brothers that hold on for a few more days and the danger of Dragon City will pass. Shi Yun said.
Hearing Shi Yun's words, everyone was a little excited.
If this is really the case, then wouldn't the siege of Dragon City be lifted?
Thinking of this, everyone had a smile on their faces.
But this smile didn't last long, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, since the Hu people have surrounded Longcheng, it is bound to want to take down Longcheng, how can there be a reason to retreat before it is taken!
At this moment, in the eastern direction of Dragon City, there happened to be a Su army coming towards Dragon City!
"General, look, isn't that General Chu Liangchu!" A general pointed to the banner of the Su army outside the city and shouted!
Shi Yun fixed his eyes.
Sure enough, it was Chu Liang who appeared outside the city!
"Reinforcements are coming!" Some generals shouted happily!
Shi Yun also smiled when he saw Chu Liang, the reinforcements arrived, then they would be saved.
But then, his smile froze.
Because he saw that Chu Liang's troops didn't seem to be as good as he thought!
Chu Liang brought 5,000 people to kill, at this moment, these 5,000 people were a little embarrassed, and the battle flag was also crooked, as if they had gone through a big battle.
The five thousand people kept a basic queue and began to swaying towards the Dragon City defense line!
At the same time, the Hu people also discovered their traces and began to organize soldiers to attack Chu Liang and them!
Seeing this scene, Shi Yun immediately shouted on the city tower! "Quick, inform General Shizhong!"
