At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

The battle over Yuzhong City did not stop for a moment, and the battle lasted for another three days and nights in the blink of an eye.

In just ten days, the attitudes of both parties towards Yuzhong City have changed from persistent to crazy!

The morale of Han Sui's coalition forces was low, and the number of personnel was severely reduced. More than half of the 250,000 troops had been lost.

The Yizhou army under Liu Zhang relied on the advantage of fortifying the city and frequently gained the upper hand, but it could not escape the huge disadvantage in terms of number of soldiers.

Under the crazy attack of Han Sui's coalition forces, the casualties of the Yizhou army are also increasing day by day.

In order to minimize losses, Liu Zhang could only order the soldiers to use the defense equipment without any worries.

A large number of defensive equipment was continuously moved onto the city wall, which did frequently and severely damaged Han Sui's army who was attacking the city.

It can be said that Han Sui heard staggering casualties every day, and these defense materials accounted for at least half of the credit.

However, due to the unrestrained use, even Yuzhong City, which has a mountain of supplies, is difficult to parry!

As the last batch of supplies was delivered to the city wall, the treasury was declared exhausted!

You must know that this is Liu Zhang's supplies for three months of fierce battles for Yuzhong's offensive and defensive battle!

In normal times, I am afraid that it is enough to last for half a year.

In Yuzhong County Government Office, Liu Zhang's temporary residence, Xun You and Pang Tong were already standing anxiously in the hall.

With sleepy eyes, Liu Zhang came out disheveled.

Last night, he persisted until Choushi before returning from the city. It was not yet Chenshi, and Liu Zhang slept for about two hours after all his calculations.

"Gongda, Shiyuan, why are you so anxious?"

Xun You hurriedly walked up to Liu Zhang with a look of remorse.

"My lord, the treasury has just reported, and the last batch of supplies has just been delivered to the city wall."

"what!"

Liu Zhang was completely relieved of sleepiness, and immediately regained his energy.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Listening to Liu Zhang's questioning, Xun You felt even more guilty.

"My lord, it's all due to my negligence. I didn't ask the staff in charge of the treasury all the time."

"Gongda, get up."

Liu Zhang was just anxious and didn't mean to blame anyone.

If you get to the bottom of it, you really can't blame Xun You.

After all, treasury managers should report the status of reserves all the time.

Moreover, Xun You was in charge of most of the affairs of the whole city. One person's energy was limited and it was impossible to cover everything.

"How long can the city wall last?"

"My lord, I have already told General Zhao that I must persist until tonight."

Liu Zhang frowned, feeling dizzy continuously in his mind.

Suddenly, he understood Xun You and the treasury staff who neglected their duties.

When Liu Zhang prepared supplies, he used the cost of bloody battles on the four walls of Yuzhong City for three months.

Now only the western city wall is under attack, and counting Xun You's support until tonight, it will only take eleven days.

"How many battle-ready soldiers are left in each battalion? Has the number been reported?"

Without supplies, we can only rely on soldiers to fight by hand!

Liu Zhang knew very well that by tonight, the situation would change drastically!

"My lord, there are more than 4,700 people in Huwei Camp, 4,500 people in Wuwei Camp, 7,700 remaining barbarians, and less than 10,000 Liangzhou Jingqi."

"Today, only Wu Fengying has not participated in the battle, and has been recuperating and waiting for orders!"

Xun You's intentions were obvious, and under unavoidable circumstances, Wu Fengying could only dismount and join the battle of defending the city.

"There are less than 30,000 people left. It seems that the moment of crisis has really come!"

The 30,000 people obviously did not count Wu Fengying among them.

"My lord, Han Sui has at least three times as many soldiers as us. At this time, the most important thing is to defend Yuzhong!"

Defeating Han Sui is of course the ultimate goal, but it must also be combined with the current reality.

If even Yuzhong is lost, the elimination of Han Sui can only be nonsense.

The consequence of the fall of Yuzhong is definitely not a simple threat to Hanyang County, even the Zhangliao and Ganning departments that have penetrated into Wuwei County will also face crises.

"Gongda, can we start planning now?"

Xun You shook his head and resolutely rejected Liu Zhang's proposal.

"My lord, now is not the time, there is almost no possibility of success."

"Could it be that when victory is in sight, it is about to be defeated?"

If it was placed before, Liu Zhang would not be so pessimistic about using 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight against 100,000 enemy troops.

Especially relying on the strong city for defense!

When facing the 300,000 coalition forces, Liu Zhang was full of confidence.

It's just that today is different from the past!

Ten days ago, whether it was the Huwei Camp, the Wuwei Camp, or the Barbarian Army, they could all be called elites.

Especially Huwei Camp and Wuwei Camp are almost the best of the best!

Today's Yizhou elite has long been out of touch with the word elite, and it is more appropriate to describe them as a tired teacher.

"My lord, don't we still have a dark chess piece? We might as well let him play a role."

"What we need most now is time. The longer the time drags on, the more the balance of victory will be tilted towards us."

Whether it is Liu Zhang or Xun You, they are very convinced that in terms of individual combat capabilities, the Huwei Battalion and the Wuwei Battalion completely crush the Qiang soldiers.

If they can be given some breathing room, it may not be impossible to reverse the situation of the battle.

"If you do this, won't Han Sui doubt it?"

Before Xun You answered, Pang Tong took the initiative to stand up and looked at Liu Zhang confidently.

"Your Majesty, worry too much!"

"Now we are in a difficult situation, but Han Sui's situation is even more difficult than ours!"

"According to my estimates, Han Sui will only persist for a few more days at most. Qiang soldiers are also human beings, how can Han Sui be used as an animal?"

Lost half of the troops in ten days!

If it were placed in the normal morale of the army, morale would have collapsed long ago, and there is a risk of collapse!

Now these Qiang people can still attack desperately, it must be the credit of these Qiang clan leaders.

"Gongda, go make arrangements and see how much time Han Sui can leave for us!"

Liu Zhang finally decided to play dark chess instead of putting the future on gambling.

Rather than betting that Han Sui can't hold on and withdraws his troops voluntarily, it's better to give him more information, and the success rate will be higher!

"Obey!"

"Shiyuan, what's wrong with you? Just speak up if you have something to say."

Liu Zhang inadvertently saw Pang Tong's strange expression, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

"My lord, it's nothing! I'm just curious. But it's not important at all."

Pang Tong is superior in intelligence and calculation, and his thinking is also different from others.

Pang Tong may find clues to flaws that are often invisible to others.

"Come on, it's already this time, there's nothing you can't say."

It's fine if it's someone else, Liu Zhang will definitely not waste any more time, but the object is Pang Tong, and he must be given a certain amount of attention.

"My lord, you may not have noticed that more than 100,000 Qiang people were killed or injured under the city of Yuzhong, but there are no such corpses under the city."

Liu Zhang glanced at Pang Tong helplessly, wondering what time it was, and he was still fighting with the corpse.

"Shi Yuan, Han Sui must clean up the battlefield! Otherwise, the corpses of more than 100,000 people are piled up under the city, how can they attack?"

Fortunately, there is no mention of zombies at this time, otherwise Pang Tong would have to say that these dead bodies have been resurrected!

"My lord, I don't mean that! It's just that the cleaning is too clean, right?"

"Soldiers of Han Sui's army braved the arrow rain on the city to carry corpses every day. Could it be that the Qiang people still have the saying that fallen leaves return to their roots?"

Liu Zhang shook his head lightly. He didn't know if there were any Qiang people, but as Pang Tong said, these things are completely irrelevant to the current situation.

"Forget it, it's up to Han Sui to deal with the corpses of the Qiang people. Let's do what we should do!"
