Three Kingdoms

Reinforcements, reinforcements that everyone wants, but the problem is, everyone wants it, but not all of them may get it. Naturally, it was impossible for Yang Hong and others to know exactly when the reinforcements would come, or how many people would come. Seeing Yuan Shu ask, he couldn't answer even if he wanted to, so he could only remain silent, and heard soldiers flowing like water outside the hall. Report loudly...

"Lord! Cao Jun stormed the east gate and north gate! The enemy generals once boarded the east gate! Cao Bing's archers from the archery tower under the city fired arrows like rain, and there were countless wounded at the east gate and north gate! General Ji and Yuan Pian were in the middle of a deadly battle! Please mobilize quickly, lord! Shields, wooden boards and other covering objects!”

"Reporting to my lord! General Yuan Pian has died! His body has been carried to the street below the city! General Ji is in charge of General Yuan's troops. Please rest assured, my lord, Cao's soldiers cannot break the city he is guarding!"

"My lord! The city is about to run out of arrows! Please lord, please quickly mobilize the arrows and send them to us as soon as possible!"

"Lord! General Ji killed one of Cao's army's vanguard generals on the city wall! Cao's army was frustrated! It is retreating! General Ji is supervising his troops and adjusting their troops!"

"Lord! Cao's soldiers have retreated! General Ji is counting the soldiers. It is estimated that this time he will attack Cao's army and kill more than 200 elite soldiers of Cao's army, 400 regular soldiers, and countless other auxiliary soldiers and civilians! Appear at the top of the east gate city Above, there are less than five hundred men capable of fighting, the arrows are empty, the bow fingers and wrists are damaged, and cannot be used anymore. They are in urgent need of adjustment! Please help me, my lord, urgently!"

After hearing the last piece of military information, Yang Hong, Qiao Rui and others who were in Yuan Shu's lobby breathed a sigh of relief...

Almost all the generals under Yuan Shu who could fight were sent out to withstand Cao Jun's fierce attack. In the past few days, there have been heavy casualties. Even the generals of the Yuan Shu family could not survive for a few, and another one was lost tonight. After all, there are really only a few of Yuan Shu's men who can perform Wushuang. Ji Ling is relatively strong, but the others are not as strong as they are.

At this moment, the people around Yuan Shu, except for Qiao Rui, were either civil servants entertaining guests, or some of Yuan Shu's close disciples from his family, commanding his soldiers, and protecting his safety. These children of the Yuan family, and these nephews and nephews who are related to Yuan Shu, will definitely not be able to go into battle, but Yuan Shu does not think that with his status and dignity, he will have to use his own soldiers to participate in the war, so it is also On weekdays, there is nothing to encourage these nephews to be brave. Anyway, on weekdays, these caring nephews are very well-behaved and have fun. It can be regarded as giving them a step forward, and it is not a big deal.

But now, with the battle fierce, Yuan Shu looked around and couldn't find anyone he could trust. And those people who were the nephews and nephews of the Yuan family who usually danced happily, now all had their heads shrunk. You can't do it without shrinking. General Yuan, who was promoted by the front line before, went out vertically, but ended up falling sideways. I don't know if the body is complete or not. Maybe it was spliced...

Most of these generals under Yuan Shu and the nephews of the Yuan family have never experienced military affairs at all. After coming to join Yuan Shu, they have no intention of focusing on military bravery. They are busy all day long on how to provide Yuan Shu with exquisite Dishes, looking for luxurious supplies, and even managing the slave singers more like a housekeeper than a general.

Of course, when talking about military affairs, these nephews of the Yuan family are always impassioned and give advice on the country. They seem to be military and political wizards. When there is no war, they also dance with guns and sticks, hunt everywhere, show off their prey, and are high-spirited. Now they are like quails, wishing to shrink their heads into their stomachs.

Hearing that Cao Jun was finally repulsed by Ji Ling once again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The green and white color on the faces of the Yuan family nephews on the side also faded a little. As a result, they heard that reinforcements were being sent to reinforce the general. But before The lessons learned from the "General Yuan" were still bloody in front of them, and the nephews and nephews of the Yuan family suddenly became a little uneasy. Seeing Yuan Shu's eyes glancing over, some people really couldn't stand it, so they raised their hands and said: "My lord! Back and forth, the lord sent thousands of soldiers and horses to General Ji, and more than ten generals! He also drew manpower from the personal guards and transported countless bows and arrows! Why are reinforcements needed now? There are only some lord guards left in the city. , if we redeploy again and use up all the troops in the city, how will we respond if Cao’s army seizes the opportunity to cause chaos? General Ji is really confused!"

Qiao Rui frowned and looked at Yuan Shu's silence. She thought that Yuan Shu also agreed with this nephew of the Yuan family, so she held back her anger and glared at the nephew of the Yuan family, raised her hands and said to Yuan Shu: "Lord! General Ji's soldiers and horses have been fighting for days. Even if they are still on the city now, they may not have much fighting power. Why not replace them and rest for a while so that these soldiers can relax for a while, otherwise the next time Cao Jun Again, there will be heavy casualties! General Ji's request for additional troops is in line with the military strategist's wishes. How can he be blamed by people who are just talking? If the city falls and Cao's army swarms in, what's the use of leaving troops in the city? You can use words To counter it?"

The nephew of the Yuan family came back after eating the bridge. He was so angry that his brows stood up and his face turned blue. Just when he was about to say something else, Yuan Shu coughed, waved his hand and said, "Send another two hundred heavy armored infantry to General Ji." The soldiers of the battle are three hundred archers! Another thousand civilians will be drawn from the city for General Ji to dispatch. That's it, go and deliver the order quickly!"

Seeing that they didn't need to go up themselves, the Yuan family's nephews didn't say anything, so some of them withdrew and went to arrange the soldiers.

In fact, Yuan Shu was not completely unreasonable. He was just distracted and thinking about other things. However, now that Cao Jun's offensive was too strong, Yuan Shu was indeed at a loss. After a moment of silence, Yuan Shu whispered: "The thief Cao was frustrated again." ...It’s time to rest for a few days this time, right?”

Qiao Rui: "..."

Yang Hong: "..."

The rest of Yuan's nephews: "..."

Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and sighed. Yuan's sons and nephews all lowered their heads.

Qiao Rui couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have rested for a while, and it's okay. I will lead the troops again, replacing General Ji... As long as I am still alive, I will protect our lord." Safe!"

Qiao Rui had actually persisted for two days and one night in the previous battle, and then he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted on top of the city, before being carried down by the soldiers. However, he had not fully recovered yet and asked for help again. Yuan Shu was also a great leader. Feeling moved, he quickly stood up, walked to Qiaorui, took Qiaorui's arm and said, "Qiao Aiqing! Thank you for your hard work! Aiqing is loyal and I know it very well! I entrust my life and health to you." Got it!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu's words were a little emotional, Qiao Rui was also somewhat moved, so he bowed his hands and bowed, walked out of the hall, led the soldiers and headed towards the city...

After a while, Yang Hong, who was on the side, suddenly coughed twice and said in a low voice: "My lord, everyone here is my lord's confidant, and a certain person acted recklessly... This, if things go wrong, my lord must also be prepared." …”

"What?!" Yuan Shu's eyes widened.

A thin layer of sweat also appeared on Yang Hong's head. Yang Hong is getting older and is no longer as aggressive as young people. Now that Cao Cao is attacking outside the city, Yang Hong is also terrified because he knows that all his power and status now rely on Yuan Shucai. Obtained, if Yuan Shu dies, even if he can save his life, he will not be able to preserve his current power and status. Even if he escapes Cao Cao's butcher's knife, then the enemies he has offended over the years will come to find him...

Therefore, protecting Yuan Shu is equivalent to protecting Yang Hong himself.

If Shouchun is lost, just lose it. At worst, he will go to Jiangdong, where there are Sun Bi and Sun Ce. Even if it is not good, there will be Liu Xun, Hui Qu and others, and there is no way to find out where they are...

Yuan Shu glared at Yang Hong.

Does this mean Shouchun can't be saved?

Yuan Shu's original confidence was constantly eroding under Cao Cao's constant attacks. Can Shouchun City be able to sustain itself in the face of such a fierce and unusual offensive by Cao Jun? Yuan Shu couldn't help but start to think about this possibility in his heart. If he really couldn't hold on, then it was very likely that his life would be lost in the rebel army!

Are you leaving?

Still not leaving?

Large beads of cold sweat flowed down from Yuan Shu's head and face, and down the ends of his hair. At this moment, Yuan Shu could no longer see the calm look of wealth and honor on his body. He could only see that he was extremely troubled. His expression, his brows and mouth seemed to be twisted together, it was really tangled to the extreme.

At this moment, Cao Jun's military drums were suddenly heard from outside the city. The sound was so loud that everyone in the hall seemed to jump up and looked at each other in disbelief. Cao Cao unexpectedly retreated less than half an hour after his last wave of offensive, and was about to attack again! The loud sound of the drum was not only conveying military orders, but also seemed to express Cao Cao's determination to never turn back!

Cao Cao's army fought so fiercely, fought to the death, and was so exhausted, why did they want to fight again?

Yuan Shu's eyes kept rolling. Does this short mule really hate him that much? He didn't seem to have done anything to attract hatred before, but now Cao Cao actually wanted to bulldoze Shouchun City and then kill him here?

Yuan Shu suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly: "Quick! Follow me to the city gate and watchtower! I want to see what this eunuch Cao, this eunuch! What exactly does he want to do!"

Outside the Shouchun City, Cao Cao stood on the high platform of the Chinese Army. He had stood motionless for a long time. Looking at the tragic fighting in front of him, he seemed completely unmoved, and his heart was as cold as ice. Can't make any trouble.

In front of him, there is a tragic battlefield, a bloody fire, a dying scream, a suffocating blood, Shouchun City crawling like a ferocious beast, and a huge millstone of flesh and blood...

So far, Cao Cao's losses in this battle have exceeded 10,000, including more than 5,000 regular soldiers! If Cao Cao had not paid close attention to the training of his soldiers for a while, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers would have been low and they would not be able to fight.

The flames of the battlefield illuminated everything, and the strong smell of blood from the dead and wounded people up and down the city seemed to coat the entire world with a dark blood color, making everyone here feel People are in a trance, not knowing where they are, whether they are in hell or still on earth.

Cao Cao's army was defeated again before, and Cao Cao finally moved. He closed his eyes and felt his eyes sore. He was silent for a moment, and whispered: "Zilian! I'll leave this to you! Someone... I want to personally lead the troops and attack the city!"

"My lord!" Cao Hong was shocked and said, "My lord, why are you doing this! If you take a break, it's not too late to attack again! Why do you need to personally take risks and risk arrows!"

"This battle has reached its limit at this moment... I don't know how hard it will be, but... every time it is delayed, our crisis will increase..." Cao Cao looked up at the sky and spoke every word. He said, "If God bless you, this is the way to defeat the enemy! Yuan Jun, haha, Yuan Gongdao...he will definitely not dare! He must be even more unable to hold on than us!"

Although Cao Cao's low voice was not loud, it could be heard clearly by the surrounding soldiers and generals, including Cao Hong. Although these people were all equally exhausted, they remained silent for a moment. No one knew whether it was because of Cao Cao's words or because of the tragic war. No one made a sound.

"Today is the day to defeat the enemy!" Cao Cao looked at the rising star on the horizon and shouted, "Come here! Send the order! Get X's armor! Gather the Chinese army guards and defeat the enemy with X! Today! This city must be destroyed!" "

The Chinese army guard can be said to be the only Cao army that has not been directly involved in large-scale battles from the beginning of the war to the present. Now, Cao Cao is preparing to send this army, which can be said to be a new force, and the last one in preparation. The team went into the battlefield without leaving any chance behind.

I believe everyone who has been on the battlefield knows what it means to have no backup, so when they saw Cao Cao's figure appearing in the center of the battlefield, leading several cavalrymen to raise their horns high, the sound of the horn seemed to move everyone heartstrings.

It can be said that Cao Cao's central army guards are all carefully selected. They are all brave men in the army. They are also directly under Cao Cao's command on weekdays. They can be said to be the best among the elite. They usually serve as middle soldiers. It can be used to defend the enemy's army against the enemy's fierce attack, or to dispatch the opponent's central army to defeat the opponent's central army and determine the victory in one fell swoop. But now, Cao Cao is preparing to devote this army to the siege!

Plunge into the huge millstone of flesh and blood in Shouchun!

Cao Cao looked around, and then his eyes fell on Dian Wei and Cao Ang. He nodded, smiled slightly, and waved behind him. Immediately, a guard came to Cao Cao holding a battle armor and put it on for Cao Cao. In addition, there were More than a dozen personal guards, holding spears and large shields, stood beside Cao Cao.

"... In Shouchun City, Yuan Jiujiu disobeyed and committed crimes. He has no king, and his crime is unforgivable! We fight for God and deserve God's blessing! The thieves in the world should know the power of God's punishment! In history, everyone should be Fame!" Cao Cao raised his sword high, "Yuan Gongli, a cowardly and incompetent ant, deserves to die here! Let's see among the heroes, who can get the head of the thief! Who can become famous in the world! Success or failure depends on convenience. This battle! Gentlemen, follow me to kill the thief!"

After speaking, Cao Cao took the lead.

Dian Wei silently jumped up, took two large iron halberds, and followed Cao Cao. Then Cao Ang followed with his spear, and then more generals of Cao's army followed with their own guards. , even Cao Hong, whose arm was injured, held a sword in one hand, gritted his teeth, and followed Cao Cao...

The sound of the golden drum roared again, seemingly ten times louder than the loudest time just now! The murderous aura soaring into the sky spread and rushed straight towards Shouchun City!
