"Huh, huh!" Hao Shao gasped heavily, he was about to reach his limit, he was so tired, a steady stream of enemies were rushing towards the top of the city, he was already like this, his subordinates were so soldiers Not to mention. .
In the eyes of his subordinates, it is good to have 800 men in his hands. 1,200 people have already died in battle, and the 800 people who are alive are all wounded. Fortunately, there are 400 heavy armored infantry. There is no fatal injury for A, just tiredness! Extremely tired, if this continues, Gwangju will be over.
"There is still an hour, an hour, hold on, hold on!" Hao Shao saw that the sun was going to slowly set, and as long as he held on for another hour, he would last another day.
"General, I can't hold it anymore!" Xuan Jian almost had no good spots on his body, and his waist was bleeding continuously. This was a wound left to him by a general of the Yuzhou Army, and he lost blood. Too much, coupled with tiredness, Xuan Jian could no longer hold on.
"General, we can't hold it anymore!" The other soldiers also reached their limits. There is no reinforcements, no reserve army, and they have been fighting since the sun rose until now that it is impossible to even eat, can they not be tired. Some soldiers simply threw away the long sword in their hands and sat down without fear of blood and water on the ground. Lying still.
"No, I have to hold on if I can't hold it!" Hao Shao went to wake up those who sat down one by one. He couldn't sleep now, and once he fell asleep, it would be over.
"Hehe, let's see how long you can last!" Liu Pi also saw that Hao Shaojun had reached his limit on the city wall, and the sun would set in an hour, which was enough for Liu Pi to attack the city again. The ones belonged to him, Liu Pi.
Regardless of Hao Shaoru's punching and kicking, they were unwilling to stand up, because they were tired enough and really had no strength left.
"Could it be that this is the end of Gwangju!" Hao Shao's mouth was full of bitterness. It was the first time he was released as a defense, but in the end the city still failed to hold. Hao Shao also sat down. His subordinates have no combat effectiveness at all, so how can they fight? Wait for the next wave of enemies to break through the city directly. "What! Retreat!" Just as Liu Pi was about to take down Gwangju for the last time, the voice of Mingjin retreating came from the main camp.
"It's gold!" Hao Shao was also taken aback, why did Liu Pijun withdraw his troops? Does he not want Gwangju? Now send at most a thousand-man team, and this Gwangju, which has blocked him for four days, will belong to him, Liu Pi, but now he has withdrawn his troops.
"General, general! Enemy, the enemy has withdrawn?!" Xuan Jian next to him also had a look of disbelief. The enemy's retreat means that they have won? They held on for another day.
"Haha, haha! We won, we won!" Some soldiers beside them couldn't help themselves. They were thinking about how to get to hell, but now they found that they had escaped again. How can this kind of happiness be used? Words to describe it.
"We won, we won!" The soldiers on the top of the city used their last strength to utter the language of victory.
"Hey!" Liu Pi was so angry that he pinched his fingers into his own palm when he heard the cheers from the city of Guangzhou, "Retreat!" Liu Pi said fiercely.
"Yes, General!" Liu Pi's Yuzhou Army retreated like a tide.
"Da da da!" Liu Pi walked directly into the main army's big tent. This time it was not Liu Pi who looked at Liu Bei, but Liu Pi wanted his lord to give him an explanation. Gwangju was about to be breached. Let him return to the army now.
"My lord!" Liu Pi didn't dare to question him face to face, but called Liu Bei loudly, interrupting the conversation between Liu Bei and Pang Tong.
"Liu Pi is here!" Liu Bei also noticed that Liu Pi heard Liu Pi's loud voice and naturally knew why Liu Pi was angry.
"My lord, I don't know why my lord retreated!" Liu Pi asked in a dull voice. It was really a torment for Liu Pi these few days. Liu Bei didn't give him a good face, let alone a small city of Guangzhou. There are so many deaths under his command, you think Liu Pi can't be angry.
"Take it and see for yourself!" Liu Bei still didn't show much favor to Liu Pi, and Liu Bei threw a copy of the file to Liu Pi.
Liu Pi accepted it in doubt, opened it and looked it up, only to find that something went wrong. This is an information, and it is also an urgent letter. It was sent from Runan, Yuzhou. Enemy troops appeared in Yuzhou, under the banner of Liu Mang, the holy king of Lu Bu's army. When the information came, Liu Mang's army had already landed on the land of Yuzhou, and there was only one Anfengjin Ferry in Yuzhou, that is to say An Fengjin has fallen!
"My lord, let's return to Yuzhou as soon as possible, and drive away the slaves of the three surnames!" Liu Pi was really anxious, because he had a deep affection for Yuzhou. It's been in business for so many years, hasn't it? Once Yuzhou is occupied, not only Liu Pi will lose his territory, but even the current boss will go bankrupt.
"My lord, the troops cannot be withdrawn!" Pang Tong stepped forward and interrupted.
"Military division, sir, if we don't withdraw our troops, Yuzhou will be gone!" Liu Pi shouted anxiously, "Anfengjin has been destroyed, leaving only Ruyin, Yingshang, Runan, Sancheng, and the second general of Runan sitting in town. There are also 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers and horses, but Ruyin and Yingshang don't have any, the two together only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and my lord, the two generals fought in Shouchun before, and Shouchun was lost in one day!" Regardless of whether Liu Picai will offend Guan Yu or uncover his scars, Yuzhou is his lifeblood.
"My lord, if Yuzhou is lost, we will really become rootless duckweeds!" Liu Pi was trying to persuade Liu Bei to withdraw his troops back to Yuzhou.
Duckweed without roots, this sentence has reached Liu Bei's heart. Isn't he Liu Bei fighting for so long just to have a piece of land! Otherwise, when he was full, he would go to help Tao Qian and Lao Cao, which would be thankless things.
Yuzhou is now Liu Bei's territory, and Liu Bei is really reluctant to lose Yuzhou.
"My lord still says the same thing! You can't withdraw the troops!" Pang Tongjin said, "My lord, what is more important between Yuzhou and the world?!"
"The world?!" Liu Bei's eyes lit up. Compared with the world, Yuzhou is naturally more powerful. After he is known as King Jing of Zhongshan, he has always wanted to ride in a canopy since he was a child.
"Military division, what else can we use to fight for world hegemony if we lose Yuzhou!" Liu Pi retorted.
"My lord, now the three families are attacking Lu, and Lu Bu's army is in a crisis of food and grass. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sun Ce in Jiangdong wants Lujiang at most, and Zhang Xiu in Wancheng is a man. As long as we have money, we can go to Yangzhou to have our best." Half of Yangzhou is waiting for Yangzhou," Pang Tong said. Although Shouchun has less food now, its population has grown. After all, Lu Bu gave priority to all resources in Shouchun.
"Although Yangzhou is good, it is not as rich as Yuzhou! The current Yangzhou has long lost its prosperity!" Liu Pi said to Pang Tong. The current Yangzhou is no longer the former Yangzhou, and Yangzhou has been completely played by Yuan Shu. Abolished, for his emperor's dream, the whole Yangzhou was buried with him, and only the land is left. Compared with Yuzhou, although Liu Pi doesn't know how to govern his subordinates, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and Runan's development is also good. That's right, if Liu Pi didn't know how to govern, he would have been wiped out long ago. Now Runan is definitely richer than Shouchun Yangzhou.
"Hehe, the purpose of attacking Lu Bu is not only to take Yangzhou, but also to destroy Lu Bu! Once Yangzhou is in hand and Sun Ce and Zhang Xiu join forces to destroy Lu Bu, then there will be no princes in the Central Plains to compete with the lord!" Zhang Xiu is not worried, Sun Ce Now that Jingzhou can't be defeated, he can't even think about marching into the Central Plains. Mr. Cao is still in Guandu. At that time, the Central Plains area was not up to Liu Bei to choose. .
"Lu Bu has been wiped out, and Yuzhou is gone, so isn't Liu Mang the Lu Bu army!" Liu Pi still refused to accept.
"Liu Mang has already invaded my Yuzhou. Even if we return to the army now, at most we can drive Liu Mang out of Yuzhou, but Anfengjin has been destroyed, and Yingshang may also be lost. Are we going to use a county town and his Lu Bu? How about changing three counties? Besides, there is also the transfer of my army’s food and grass, so it’s not just a single loss! And we don’t want to fight now, and there are three advantages to continuing to attack Lu Bu’s army.”
Pang Tong stood up, "First, encircle Wei and save Zhao! Shouchun is the lair of Liu Mang, the king of Shu. He is attacking us in Yuzhou, and we are also attacking Shouchun. As long as we are faster than him and threaten Shouchun, I believe Liu Mang Still going back to the army,"
"What if we can't keep up with him!"
"Yes?" Pang Tong asked back, "He went deep into Yuzhou alone, and we have Zhang Xiu to help 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry plus 35,000 elite soldiers. Will Liu Mang be slower than him? Liu Mang has something in his hands now. , That is to say, the Black Chess Army and the Urban Management Army plus one Gan Ning Navy Army at most! If we can no longer match his speed, then we should surrender!"
"But won't Lujiang Lu Bu send reinforcements?!" Lujiang is the home of Lu Bu's army. Among Lu Bu's troops, there are Bingzhou wolf cavalry, as well as the trapped camp, Taishan army, and Guangling army. These are not easy to provoke. If Lu Bu sends them to help, it is really not sure who is faster and who is slower.
"Don't worry! Jiangdong Sun Ce has already solved these problems for us!" Pang Tong got the information that Jiangdong Sun Ce had suspended the attack on Jingzhou, and instead dispatched a navy from Kuaiji to threaten the Lujiang River bank, pretending that he might land at any time, The purpose is to hold back the elite troops of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the trapped camp, so that Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei can quickly take down the last three combined forces in Yangzhou to destroy Lu Bu.
"The second thing is, once we win Shouchun, then Liu Mang who entered Yuzhou will really become a lone army! Without the supply of food and grass, as long as the second general guards Runan, we will send another side division, or Give Zhang Xiu enough benefits, let his Xiliang iron cavalry help him encircle Liu Mang's army in Yuzhou, and then he will not be able to escape even if he wants to." Yuzhou was originally surrounded by Cao Cao's Liu Mang and Zhang Xiu. Yes, once Shouchun is captured by Liu Bei's army, and Liu Wei invades Yuzhou, it will be really hard to escape, because there are enemies on three sides, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, which one is not an enemy, under siege from three sides Can only be defeated.
"The third most important point, hehe!" Pang Tong sneered twice, "Does Liu Mang's army still have food and grass to support him in attacking Yuzhou?!"
The population of more than one million is not just for fun, it has been several months, and Lu Bu's army has almost consumed food and grass. This is the reason why the three families besieged Lu Bu together, and Liu Mang's invasion of Yuzhou was nothing more than to replenish Food and grass, but if you want food and grass, you must first have the capital. If you are beaten to death, it will be good if Lu Bujun can produce enough food and grass for the army to use for a month. If you let Liu Mang hit the vicinity of Yingshang in a month at most, you can get it Liu Beijun's food and grass in Yingshang Anfengjin was not enough to support him and Liu Mang to continue fighting.
And don't forget that Liu Mang still has more than one million mouths to eat in Shouchun.
Seeing that Liu Pi no longer had any doubts, Pang Tong said, "What we have to do now is to quickly invade the hinterland of Liu Mang's army, and together with Zhang Xiu, take Hefei, Lujiang and Shouchun, so that we can truly stand up. Invincible!"
"My lord, then this Gwangju?!" Liu Pi asked, this Gwangju is about to be taken down, so why not just give up.
"Gwangju doesn't want it anymore, just avoid him, a small city is not worth our time!" There are only a few hundred soldiers in Gwangju, what is the use of these hundreds of people in a large-scale battle.
"Okay, Liu Pi obeys!" Liu Bei also made up his mind.
"The end is here!"
"You just let your subordinates prepare, make meals at the third watch, set off at the fifth watch, and target Hefei!"
"The last general obeys orders!" Liu Pi nodded and went down. Compared with the whole Yangzhou and a small Guangzhou, he really looked down upon it.
"My lord, in order to delay Liu Mang's speed, Tong has a plan. I don't know if it should be used or not!" Pang Tong watched Liu Pi leave, and suddenly said to Liu Bei.
"Oh? What's Shi Yuan's plan? Tell me quickly!" Liu Bei admired Pang Tong very much. The analysis opinion Pang Tong gave just now made Liu Bei hate Tianxia or Yuzhou. Which one is more important? It really made Liu Bei feel very comfortable.
"No." Pang Tong didn't say directly, "My lord, if this strategy is used properly, it will stop Liu Mang's army for more than three days, buy time for our army, and may even make Liu Mang's army retreat directly. If this strategy fails, then the lord may die. Cut off an arm!"
"Oh?!" Liu Bei also frowned. Three days can be said to be long or short. Maybe in three days he can reach the city of Shouchun with his army. Fighting opportunities are fleeting on the battlefield. Time is also very precious. And Pang Tong also said that he would directly let Liu Mang retreat. But at this price, what does it mean if you lose your right-hand man once you fail.
"Speak!" Liu Bei still decided to listen.
"Master, this strategy may use Mr. Gongyou!"
"Gongyou?!" Liu Bei frowned, what did Pang Tong want to say.
"Let Mr. Gongyou sit in Ruyin and stop Liu Mang's army!"
"Gongyou sits in Ruyin and stops Liu Mang's army?" Liu Bei really doesn't understand. Isn't this just a joke? Gongyou is only a second-rate adviser at best. How can he resist Liu Mang? It's really quite a lot, and I haven't lost yet because of it. "There are only thousands of defenders in Ruyin City, and I only have 10,000 troops left behind in Yuzhou. How can I resist?"
"It doesn't cost a single soldier!" Pang Tong said with a smile. "Just that, that's it!" Pang Tong said in Liu Bei's ear. (To be continued.)
