"Just withdraw the troops like this?!" Liu Mang opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it. Sun Ce retreated so easily. I also know that those are not the main force of Sun Ce's army, but the main force of Sun Ce's army are those Danyang soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers who have been holding banners in the camp but never showing their faces. .
As usual, Sun Ce would definitely continue to charge and fight until the sky was too dark to fight. He thought that Sun Ce would let those parts that he didn't show his face appear, but in the end he retreated like this!
There is still a long time before dark, enough to attack the city again. I'm afraid Bingzhou Wolf Riders will arrive tomorrow, aren't they afraid? The cavalry on the plain is the king, let alone the Bingzhou wolf cavalry with heavy armor. Their arrival is when Wancheng is safe.
"Could it be a fraud?!" Liu Mang frowned, he was the defender of the city, what if he was attacking the city or in a field battle! Liu Mang would think there was an ambush, but now it is impossible for Liu Mang to go down to the city and fight Sun Ce, even if he wants to, the city gates and passages are all sealed, how can Liu Mang get out, fly out!
I really can't figure it out, Liu Mang now thinks of the benefits of having old man Chen, if Chen Gong is here, he doesn't need to rack his brains, and the old man Chen who is familiar with people's hearts will definitely guess what Sun Ce is thinking.
Forget it! Liu Mang shook his head, he was tired, today he will not only go to battle to kill the enemy, but also command, so that the Black Chess Army can show its strength, so Liu Mang is tired, no matter how cunning Sun Ce is, anyway, Liu Mang is here You can't escape there, you can only deal with all changes with the same, why would Sun Ce leave now to let these soldiers who have been fighting for a day rest
"Sun Ce has retreated!" Huang Zhong stood aside. He didn't make a move today because he was afraid that Sun Ce would send out some generals, so Huang Zhong could deal with it. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous to let these warriors attack the battle formation, no matter how elite soldiers are in front of the warriors, they are not opponents.
Once the hole is torn open, it will be difficult to close it again, but Huang Zhong has been standing there for a day, Liu Mangcheng is in charge of the army, Xu Sheng's black chess army has all played, and even his son Huang Xu is also facing An enemy general who was playing with a bow was shot, only Huang Zhong didn't make a move.
"Everyone rest! Leave the rest of the group to rest on the city wall, and prepare hot food!" Liu Mang ordered. In ancient times, there were very few battles at night, and it was difficult to steal the city even at night. The city is not a big tent, and the enemies with a height of more than ten meters can't climb in at all. Even if they climb up, the visibility at night is very low, and they can't see anything to fight.
So a quarter of the soldiers were left on the city wall, and the rest went down to rest, and they were rotated in the middle of the night.
When they heard Liu Mang said that they could rest, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief. Many people just sat down without thinking at all, they were too tired. What is needed for defending the city is staying power, which is to carry the whole attack of the opposite side. Liu Mang has no follow-up troops, so he can only rely on less than 3,000 black chess troops and hundreds of city management troops. In today's battle, the number of people was reduced again. The army also died more than three hundred. The men and horses on the city wall shrank again,
The soldiers didn't care about the blood still flowing on the ground and the corpses, they just lay down and closed their eyes, some of them just snored, they were too tired. One by one didn't want to move anymore, there would be an even more intense battle waiting for them tomorrow, so they dropped their swords and armor and fell asleep like that.
"You can't stand up, everyone stand up, you have to sleep and eat before going to sleep!" Liu Mang can't let these soldiers sleep like this. Although it's almost summer now, the cold on the city wall is still very strong at night, and there are still people on the ground. There was so much blood, and these soldiers were also wet with blood and sweat. If they slept like this, they would definitely catch a cold, and they hadn't eaten hot food yet, so how could they fight without strength.
"Young master and the others are tired, let them sleep!" Xu Sheng walked to Liu Mang's side and said to Liu Mang, Xu Huang was also very tired, the big knife in his hand had been changed several times, the enemy who died in his hand No less than three digits.
"How can you sleep on the ground? You'll catch a cold!" Liu Mang didn't listen to Xu Sheng's words, and he directly pulled up a soldier of the black chess army. This black chess army had two eye-catching incisions on the left chest. Liu Wei could see that if it fell a little further, the arm and chest would be torn apart. The wound hadn't stopped bleeding, and there was still blood flowing. This brother didn't feel any pain and just lay down and closed it. Eye.
"Where do you sleep on the ground?!" Xu Sheng was a little puzzled. Their soldiers used the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed, and they could fall asleep as long as they didn't kowtow on the ground.
"Of course it's in the city tower!" Most big cities have a big city tower. This is the place where generals stationed generally live and where he observes external enemies. Wancheng is the seat of Lujiang and Sun Ce also worked here. Naturally There are towers.
"Enter the city tower?!" Xu Sheng looked at Liu Mang's city tower in confusion, but the resting place for Liu Mang is the resting place for the general. How could these soldiers go in? Not to mention whether they can enter, even if they can, Their blood will stain the floor of the tower.
"Enter the city tower! Sleeping here will definitely catch cold!" Liu Mang's words cannot be denied, he pulled up the soldier of the black chess army who had closed his eyes, and personally bandaged his wound, pulled him and let him go He went to the tower to rest.
"General, this tower!" The black chess soldier was still a little hesitant. This tower is where the general lives. He is a small soldier. How could he be so lucky to live in it? What's more, he was just a humble domestic slave in the past.
"Why can't you sleep!" Liu Mang was a little dissatisfied, "This city tower is dirtier than the city wall!" Liu Mang can't prepare houses and beds for these gentry, so he can only let them make do, although there are no beds on the city tower. It can also block the cold at any rate.
"But, but!" The black chess soldier really twitched, his face blushed, and now the elite black chess army who killed people without blinking an eye turned red now, "General, that, that I sleep It’s fine here, if you enter the city tower, you will stain the floor!” The brothers of the Black Chess Army did not want to go in at all.
"Dirty the floor?!" Liu Mang chewed on this sentence. them! Looking at the black chess soldiers who had woken up there, their eyes were full of expressions that would stain the tower if they were dirty. No matter what Liu Mang said, he just didn't go in, they were dirty? They fought to the last drop of blood to defend Wancheng. They are benefactors and saviors to Wancheng and the people in Wancheng. If they are dirty, there are still clean people in this family. If it is not allowed now, Liu Mang will arrange a bed and a quilt for each of them. They get a good night's sleep.
"Don't you obey the military order?" Liu Mang knew that he couldn't tell them clearly now, so he ordered them to go in directly instead of wasting words.
"General!" The brother of the Black Chess Army still looked at Xu Sheng in embarrassment and expected Xu Sheng to tell him a few words. He turned out to be a servant of the Zhou family. To not let them in is to dislike their dirty and heavy armor, and the sweat on their bodies will naturally smell great. If he soiled the floor, he would really die.
"What are you looking at! Go in if the young master tells you to go in!" Xu Sheng couldn't figure out what kind of person this Liu Mang was.
"Yes!" Hearing Xu Sheng's words, the black chess soldier who was ordered could only enter the tower with a bitter face, and was careful when he left, for fear of dirtying the floor. I can't afford to dirty his cheap life.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing the cautious look of the black chess soldiers, Liu Mang really felt a pain in his heart, they are human beings, they are elite soldiers, why should they be cautious even when they go to the hall.
"General!" The soldier who was shouted back had a look of joy on his face, he thought that Liu Mang had changed his mind and despised him for being dirty.
"Go to eat first! Go to rest after eating!" If you don't eat, go to rest. How can you have the strength to stop Sun Cejun tomorrow. How can I have the strength to patrol the city at night.
"Oh!" After hearing Liu Mang's words, the soldier took out from his pocket a hard object wrapped in cloth, which was black and yellow. Because of the battle just now, it was stained with blood. It also showed a kind of red "that general, is there any water!"
"What do you want to do?!"
"Eat! Rest well after eating!" the black chess sergeant said as a matter of course.
"Just eat this?!" Liu Mang's face was gloomy. Hei Qijun held hard steamed buns in his hands. To say that he is a steamed bun is to flatter him. These things are made of a little flour, wild vegetables and various chaff Made of weeds.
Liu Mang knew it was called military rations, and Lu Bujun had eaten it too. But they only eat it on the marching road, and now they are defending the city of Wancheng. Now there is no shortage of food and grass, and the cooked hot food has already been prepared under the city. Liu Mang made those Wancheng turmoil. The people who came down helped to cook food for the army. Originally, this was for an army of 8,000, but who knew they would perish in a day, now with the addition of the black chess army, the number is less than 4,000, and there is enough food and drink.
"Go down to get the food, and go to rest after eating!" Liu Mang was not so stingy that he didn't even give these desperate soldiers a hot meal. They were precarious, and they might die on the city wall today or tomorrow.
They can't even eat a hot meal, so let them gnaw on cold steamed buns to fight!
"Zhou Chengcheng asked you to eat this?!" Liu Mang pulled Xu Sheng aside and asked.
"Yes!" Xu Sheng nodded. "Young master, no, it's Zhou Cheng. He said that the food is limited, so he will use cornbread to satisfy his hunger. He will give rewards when he conquers Wancheng!"
"Fart!" Liu Mang roared suddenly, causing many soldiers to stare at him. There is too much food in Wancheng, and Lujiang is a land with a large yield. Last year was a bumper harvest year. Even though Lu Bu sent troops to destroy so many granaries and rice shops of soldiers, those were all on the surface, and Lu Bu couldn't find them secretly. However, when Liu Mang slaughtered these gentry, it was much easier. Only those who gave useful value can live, and everyone else will be killed.
In the end, the food confiscated from the homes of these gentry was more than twice what Lu Buqiang wanted. Will Zhou Cheng have no food? If there is no food, where do those corn buns come from? This week, Zhou Cheng is reluctant to part with the money. It is completely different for three thousand people to eat corn buns and corn.
Eating cornbread can also satisfy hunger, but it is a last resort for military rations. This week, the family really wants the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass.
"Xu Sheng, you go down too! Go to the city and have a sip of hot drink and rest! Tomorrow, we will see you defending the city!" Liu Mang doesn't need to think about Zhou Cheng now, everyone is dead, and the black chess army also belongs Called him Liu Mang, "As long as there is me, Liu Mang, I will definitely not let you eat anything! :"
"Thank you, young master!" Xu Sheng was really confused. What kind of character is this Liu Mang? You say he is kind, but he is a murderous demon without blinking an eye. The city wall was also designed so that more than 10,000 soldiers of Sun Ce didn't even have a chance to surrender.
But if you want to say that he is a bad guy, he seems to have only been cruel to the enemy. He cares for these soldiers from the bottom of his heart. How can a general pay attention to whether the soldiers have a good rest! To some of your generals, pawns are just stepping stones on the road to success. Soldiers are just a number, as long as you have money, you can't recruit them anywhere. This kind of concept is especially true for those nobles. They only have interests in their eyes, and they can do everything with interests. . )
