Chapter 313: Hua Xiong is also
"Brother Yuancai, what's wrong?"
Yuan Tan asked Gao Gan.
"I don't know." Gao Gan shook his head.
"My lord, we were all awakened by the roar just now."
Peng An explained.
"I've sent someone to the city wall, and I'll hear from you later."
Gao Gan said softly.
The words landed, and a military general stumbled in.
"Lord, it's not good!"
Everyone looked at it, but it was Deng Sheng, the general under Gao Gan.
At this moment, Deng Sheng was discouraged, and his face was panicked.
Gao Gan's heart sank, and an ominous premonition appeared.
He snorted softly,
"Deng Sheng, what's wrong?"
"Lord, that Huaxiong doesn't know what demon magic he has used, the city wall to the south of us...... It's broken! ”
Deng Sheng said with a sad face.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
"The walls are broken? What does that mean?! ”
Gao Gan said angrily.
"The whole wall was torn apart......"
Deng Sheng's words made everyone present gasp.
Who doesn't know the city walls of Jixian County, which are all built on the mountain.
The city wall in the south is built with granite and poured with rice milk, which is not too much to describe as solid!
But it was such a strong city wall that was torn apart by Huaxiong.
How does this Nima sound like a fantasy?
Gao Gan came back to his senses and glared at Deng Sheng,
"I'm telling you, lying about the military is to cut off your head!"
"Of course my subordinates know, but it's true! If you don't believe me, you can go there yourself. ”
Deng Sheng was about to cry.
If this didn't happen in front of his eyes, he wouldn't believe it!
"Brother Yuancai, this matter is very important, Deng Sheng will definitely not dare to deceive you.
Hua Xiong is a tricky person, presumably he used some method to destroy the city wall. ”
Yuan Tan persuaded softly.
"Yes, even if I have ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to deceive you."
Deng Sheng nodded again and again, looking at Gao Gan with a blank look.
Gao Gan gasped for breath and forced himself to calm down.
He also knew that Deng Sheng didn't have the courage to take such a thing to lie about the military situation.
It's just that the city walls were destroyed, it's unbelievable.
That's what made him so out of shape.
"How's that over there?" Gao Gan asked.
"Xia Zhao has already mobilized his soldiers to defend in the south.
But Hua Xiong's army was fierce, and he was about to be unable to resist it, so he ordered me to come and ask for help. ”
Deng Sheng hurriedly said.
"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and bring someone to top it for me!"
Gao Gan roared at the generals on the side.
The crowd did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately stood up and ran outside.
After everyone went out, when only Yuan Tan was present, Gao Gan sat on the chair with a somewhat lost expression.
"Xiansi, do you think we can hold it?"
Yuan Tan understood Gao Gan's mood very well.
Originally, Huaxiong attacked, and Gao Gan was a little frightened.
Who made Huaxiong's reputation too loud.
Yuan Shao was defeated, Yuan Shang was killed, and Yuan Tan was chased like a lost dog.
Originally, he planned to stick to Jixian County and wait for reinforcements from the Wuhuan people.
However, it didn't last even a day, and the impregnable walls were breached.
Not to mention Gao Gan, even Yuan Tan has a feeling of being at the end of the road.
"Brother Yuancai, it's better to ...... Shall we escape? ”
Yuan Tan gritted his teeth.
"Run?"
Gao Gan raised his head and looked at Yuan Tan blankly.
"Not bad. I know better than you how strong the Huaxiong army is.
Even if we have 100,000 more soldiers and horses, it will not be his opponent.
If you stick to the city wall of Jixian County, you may be able to wait for the rescue of the Wuhuan people.
But now that the city is broken, staying is just a dead end.
It's better for us to retreat directly and join up with the Wuhuan people. ”
Yuan Tan analyzed.
"But what about Jixian? Supplies, grain and grass......"
High dry and spitting tunnels.
Jixian County is his old nest for many years, and he has hoarded a large amount of materials, grain and grass.
If he just threw it away, he was really a little unwarm.
"My brother, when has this been? Do you still care about that? ”
Yuan Tan hates that iron does not become steel,
"What is the use of these things if a man dies?
If we can defeat Huaxiong with the help of the Wuhuan people, what is this bit of material, grain and grass? ”
Yuan Tan said bitterly, and finally moved Gao Gan.
He pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind,
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Yuan Tan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and admonished,
"Even if we retreat, we can't reveal this news to all the generals.
You take the trustworthy and let the rest resist within the walls. ”
"Understood!"
Gao Gan immediately took action, and on the one hand, he ordered Deng Sheng to take action and pack up.
On the other hand, he gave an order to Xia Zhao at the city gate, ordering him to guard it strictly!
It only took Gao Gan and Yuan Tan less than an hour to get ready.
While Xia Zhao and the others were fighting with Huaxiong's army at the city gate, they fled north in the night.
……
Xia Zhao, the guard of the city gate, immediately organized soldiers after seeing the destruction of the city wall, in a vain attempt to hold the gap.
But the strength of Huaxiong's army is too strong.
Xia Zhao's soldiers were defeated and retreated.
At this time, the senior cadres sent reinforcements, and they barely held the gap with a numerical advantage.
Soldiers on both sides fought bloodily in this gap, and dead bodies were everywhere.
Seeing that the battle situation was scorched, Hua Xiong frowned.
Zhang Liao noticed his expression and said softly,
"Lord, why don't I lead the soldiers to rush and take the city wall?"
"No, I'll do it myself."
Hua Xiong said lightly.
He didn't want to sacrifice the lives of his men.
"Zhou Cang, follow me into battle!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhou Cang was overjoyed, clenched the weapon in his hand, and followed behind Hua Xiong.
Xia Zhao, who was fighting, only felt that the pressure was gone.
It turned out to be a soldier of Huaxiong's army, and suddenly retreated like a tide.
Could it be that they have withdrawn their troops?
Xia Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
If that's the case, then you'll have a chance to breathe.
As long as you hurry up and find a way to rebuild the city wall, you can still hold Jixian.
Poor Xia Zhao was still thinking about how to defend Jixian County at this moment, but he didn't know that his lord Gaogan had fled.
Just when Xia Zhao was thinking wildly, suddenly Huaxiong's army started a new round of attack.
Only this time, it's a little different from before.
A man at the front of the line is a man with a majestic figure.
The silver armor covered the whole body, and even the face was covered by the mask, leaving only a pair of eagle-like eyes.
He held a halberd in his hand and walked slowly, giving people great pressure.
Xia Zhao's pupils shrank slightly, who is this?
Just the momentum, is it so terrifying?
"I am Xia Zhao, the guard of Jixian County, can you leave your name if you come?!"
Xia Zhao said loudly.
The man looked up at Xia Zhao, and Xia Zhao only felt a chill behind him, as if he had been seen through from beginning to end.
"Huaxiong is also!"
