Chapter 213 Bloody Battle in Sun City
Compared with Mu Linpo's big victory, Meiyang City was not so lucky. It is being besieged by Bian Zhang's 30,000 troops at the moment, and the situation is very critical!
The Xiliang army has been attacking frantically since they arrived in Meiyang City, without any consideration of loss, which puts a lot of pressure on Huang Zhong who is defending the city!
In the plan of the Han army, only Huang Zhonghe's Wushe battalion was left to guard the city, and the rest of the soldiers were all sent out by Liu Zhang.
This is also something that can't be helped. Zhang Wen's rash pursuit last time lost too many soldiers!
"General Huang, the defense materials on the city wall are exhausted, and the arrows of the soldiers have been shot!"
Xia Houlan ran to Huang Zhong's side, her words were full of urgency.
"General Huang, if we keep defending like this, our soldiers will have to fight the enemy hand to hand!"
Hand-to-hand combat is obviously not the strong point of the martial arts camp!
"Notify the entire army, abandon the Wengcheng, and withdraw directly from the inner city!"
After holding on for two hours, Huang Zhong knew that he had reached his limit.
Not only are the defense equipment running out, but the soldiers' physical strength has also been seriously exhausted. If they fight the enemy in hand-to-hand combat at this time, the odds of winning will be even slimmer!
The Martial Arts Battalion are all elite soldiers, and their usual training is based on order and prohibition. When the order was issued, the soldiers of the whole battalion did not panic at all, and began to retreat into the city in an orderly manner.
Huang Zhong also quickly left the battlefield after checking that the wall of the urn was correct.
As the chief general, Huang Zhong should have entered first, but he was the last one to enter the inner city.
"General Huang, why are you withdrawing? The Wengcheng is so important, how can you give up so easily?"
As soon as Huang Zhong boarded the inner city wall, he heard Zhang Wen's questioning voice. But Huang Zhong ignored him, and didn't even look at him.
Zhang Wen suddenly became angry, and he hated people who didn't take him seriously! Forget it with Liu Zhang, even his subordinates are like this!
"General Huang, how dare you make such a big deal! Once the urn city is lost, how can this inner city be kept for a long time!"
Huang Zhong turned his head and stared at Zhang Wen with anger in his eyes.
"Zhang Cheqi, haven't you seen that the defense equipment in Wengcheng has been exhausted? The rebels have been attacking for two hours, and the soldiers of my martial arts battalion have also held on for two hours! Now, is it still exhausted? Did they fight the rebels hand to hand!"
Huang Zhong almost roared angrily, his dissatisfaction with Zhang Wen had reached an unbearable level! If it weren't for Huang Zhong and the bottom line of a soldier, he would have wanted to control Zhang Wen!
"Then let Zhou Shen go, he still has 5,000 soldiers under his command, isn't he always there..."
"Shut up! My lord asked Zhou Shen to meet him in the back, but you detained Zhou Shen and didn't let him go! What are your intentions?"
It's good that Zhang Wen didn't mention it, but when Zhou Shen and Huang Zhong were mentioned, he couldn't hold back in an instant, and kept accusing Zhang Wen.
"Obviously the arrangements have been made, but you have detained the soldiers and horses for no reason! Do you know how much trouble this will cause my lord! It may cause the entire army to be defeated!"
As a general of chariots and cavalry, how could Zhang Wen tolerate the accusation of a school lieutenant? He immediately drew his sword.
"Presumptuous! You are just a six-hundred-stone captain, how dare you speak like that to me, a chariot general! Who gave you the guts!"
Huang Zhong wasn't afraid of Zhang Wen's threat at all, but showed a sneer instead.
"Hehe, what a chariot general, if my lord hadn't saved you before, you would still have stolen the position of charioteer general? If it hadn't been for my lord's divine soldiers, how many people would have survived in your Zhang family! You ungrateful thing! Get out! If you don't get out again, I'll chop you up!"
Zhang Wen is such a bully. He thought that with his status as a chariot general, Huang Zhong, who was only a school lieutenant, would be intimidated. He didn't expect Huang Zhong to ignore him at all.
"you…"
Looking at the big knife in Huang Zhong's hand, Zhang Wen felt guilty for a while, and began to falter and be speechless.
"roll!"
Huang Zhong yelled loudly, causing Zhang Wen to fall to the ground in fright.
"Humph!"
Huang Zhong didn't pay attention to the trash in front of him who would only add to the chaos, and walked quickly to the city wall. He had already heard the cries of the rebels attacking.
Under Xia Houlan's command, the soldiers of the Martial Arts Battalion have launched an effective counterattack. Although there are many rebels, it is difficult to make any achievements for a while.
"Zizheng, how is it? Are there enough defensive equipment?"
Xia Houlan nodded to Huang Zhong, but her face was not very relaxed.
"General Huang, most of the supplies in Meiyang City have been consumed while guarding the Wengcheng. I don't think the supplies in the inner city can last for half an hour now!"
Can't hold on for half an hour?
Huang Zhong sighed secretly, feeling a huge pressure coming from him!
Wengcheng can be lost, because there is still the inner city, but the inner city must not be lost again!
Without the inner city wall, Huang Zhong will have no danger to defend! The soldiers of the 3,000 Martial Arts Battalion will be wiped out by tens of thousands of Xiliang rebels!
"No matter what, you must defend the inner city! My lord has given me a death order. Before they return to help, Meiyang City must not be lost!"
Seeing Huang Zhong mentioning Liu Zhang, a trace of worry flashed across Xia Houlan's face.
"General Huang, Zhou Shen's task is to help the lord break out of the encirclement! Now he stands still, the lord..."
Huang Zhong interrupted Xia Houlan with his hand, and shook his head slightly at him.
"Zizheng, the lord is so talented, how can a villain like Zhang Wen be able to plan? Your and my current duty is to defend Meiyang!"
"it is good!"
Xia Houlan roared directly, ran to the city wall and raised the sword in her hand.
"Brothers, I, Xia Houlan, like all the brothers, deeply appreciate the kindness of the lord! Today, all the brothers and I will live and die together with Meiyang City! We will never leave!"
At this time, Huang Zhong also came to the front, holding up the sword in his hand.
"Where the city is and the people are, the city is destroyed and the people are dead!"
The bravery of the generals may not change the outcome of the war, but it will definitely affect the courage of the soldiers.
If the master flees, he has no fighting spirit, and the whole army is defeated!
The lord will ignore life and death, live and die with the soldiers, and the morale of the team will definitely skyrocket!
Huang Zhong himself had a very high prestige in the martial arts camp, and all the soldiers admired him from the bottom of their hearts! As soon as Huang Zhong expressed his determination, the soldiers under his command began to respond first!
"Where the city is and the people are, the city is destroyed and the people are dead!"
There were only 3,000 defenders in the city, but the momentum of 30,000 people exploded!
Bian Zhang, who was supervising the battle, was taken aback by this momentum, and then saw the soldiers who were attacking the city fall down piece by piece!
The casualties were heavy!
The most unlucky thing was the group of Xiliang troops who were attacking the city. The soldiers of the Wushe Battalion released all their passion on them!
"What's going on! Who will tell me what happened!"
Bian Zhang kept roaring on the spot, no matter who he looked at, no one responded to him.
Because the Xiliang army didn't know what happened in the city, they just felt that the Han army defending the city suddenly broke out!
"Damn! Come on, keep going! Don't give them a chance to breathe!"
Bian Zhang urged the soldiers to continue attacking the city while bleeding from his heart.
The casualties this time were too great! More than 8,000 soldiers were lost just by attacking the Wengcheng!
If you can't take the inner city in one go and let the Han army relax, there will definitely be more casualties!
You must know that he brought an army of 30,000, ten times the enemy's army!
