The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

In order to win over people's hearts, Han Zhong also knew how to spend money. At this time, he said,"Find a doctor to come and treat the wounds of all brothers.""

"Thank you, General. Zhou Cheng clasped his hands and said gratefully.

"They are all brothers, you are welcome."

Han Zhong patted Zhou Cheng on the shoulder, and then asked the cooks to remember to prepare more meat and soup for Zhou Cheng's people.

Han Zhong originally had six captains under his command, but now there are only three elite ones left. More than a thousand people.

In today's battle in Xicheng, more than 40 horses that Liu Bei and others lost were all turned into meat in the pot.

And more than 3,000 people were waiting in the camp, eagerly waiting for the feast in the pot.

……

Outside Wancheng, Zhu Jun Dazhai.

The officers and soldiers were also waiting for dinner.

In a specific area of ​​the camp, soldiers who were injured during the siege today were waiting for treatment by medical officers.

During the treatment process, everyone screamed repeatedly, and some people couldn't bear the severe pain and fainted on the spot.

At this time, Zhu Jun and his generals and counselors were drinking and eating meat in the camp, and Liu Bei was among them.

Wancheng has been surrounded on all sides, and the Yellow Turban Army in the city has run out of food.

However, the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army was still strong.

Especially today, when the three Liu Bei brothers invaded the city, they were forced back by the Yellow Turban Army.

And besieging Wancheng for a day, eating horse chews, and spending money and food was a huge expense.

Luoyang has sent eunuchs to urge Zhu Jun to break the city as soon as possible.

In order not to be dismissed from his post and escorted to Luoyang for questioning like Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun still gave the eunuch a lot of money and materials.

But in this way, the army's money and food will become even tighter.

Seeing Zhu Jun's sad face, Liu Bei took the initiative and said:"In the past, our great ancestors were able to conquer the world only because they could recruit people to surrender. Why did Duke Ming reject Han Zhong today?"

In fact, Han Zhong had already sent someone to beg for surrender.

However, he was directly rejected by Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun replied:"At this time and that time, if they are allowed to surrender, the bandits in the world will definitely act more wantonly, burning, killing and looting. When they encounter the official army, they will surrender if they can't defeat them, and the bandits will be emboldened."

Liu Bei also said. Wanting to use 'benevolence and righteousness' to defeat the enemy, now he nodded when he heard Zhu Jun's answer.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also felt that what Zhu Jun said made sense.

How to repay kindness with kindness?

Bad people should get the punishment they deserve and not be easily forgiven!

Liu Bei thought for a while and said:"If the moth thieves fail to beg for surrender, they will definitely fight to the death. Tens of thousands of people are united and unstoppable, let alone tens of thousands of people? It is better to withdraw the troops from the southeast and only attack the northwest. The moth thieves I will definitely abandon the city and flee. I have no intention of fighting, and it will be over with one battle."

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhu Jun agreed.

If tens of thousands of people fight desperately, even if they win, the officers and soldiers will suffer a lot of casualties. the next day.

Zhu Jun withdrew his troops from the southeast and ordered Liu Bei's three brothers to attack the northwest.

……

Zhou Cheng followed Han Zhong and stood on the southern city wall, watching the large number of officers and soldiers evacuate.

Seeing the officers and soldiers withdrawing, all the yellow scarves on the south wall breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, the government troops have been attacking every day, and their casualties have been increasing every day.

Moreover, Wancheng has already run out of food, and they fight hungry every day.

However, Zhou Cheng's face turned ugly when he saw the army retreating.

The reason why we are able to defend the city now is entirely because tens of thousands of people in the city are united and fighting to the death.

But now that there are no officers and soldiers in the northeast, the Yellow Turbans in the city can escape from the city at any time. As long as they can escape, who is willing to wait for death in the city!

As a result, the"fight to the death" mentality gathered in the city collapsed in an instant.

Han Zhong and others were not fools. They also knew that Zhu Jun deliberately evacuated the officers and soldiers from the northeast in order to hope that they would escape from the city so that they could be eliminated in the wild.

However, ants still live in vain, let alone humans?

Breaking out from the northeast and leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled, the chances of survival are higher.

Zhou Cheng looked at Han Zhong, Zhao Hong, and Sun Zhong, and saw the three of them gathered together, discussing in a low voice.

At this moment, the sound of cannons rang out again from the west and south walls.

It's the cannon of the official army. The official army is attacking again!

……

Zhu Jun sent Liu Bei and others to storm the west and south walls.

The trebuchet threw stone bullets weighing dozens of kilograms or fire oil cans directly against the city wall.

The two city walls were suddenly a sea of ​​fire

"The officers and soldiers are attacking!"

"Push up the bed crossbow!"

"Where's the kerosene! Get the kerosene ready!"

"Wood, rolling stone!"

"Bow and arrow! Need more bows and arrows!"

The captains on the city wall, in extreme uneasiness and panic, commanded the Yellow Turban Army to defend the city.

However, the moat bridge has been laid, and the ladders, Linchong, etc. are quickly approaching the moat.

"Five volleys!"

The archers who were rushing forward had already drawn their bows and nocked arrows, and were throwing rain of arrows towards the city wall.

"ah!"

"help me!"

The arrows rained into the locusts, and the Yellow Turban Army fell to the ground with arrows. The Yellow Turban Army, wrapped in fire, was struggling in death.

However, the companions around them turned a blind eye. Now they are too busy taking care of themselves, and no one has the intention to care about them.

"Go ahead and kill him!"

At this time, the ladder was leaning against the city wall, and a large number of officers and infantry quickly climbed up the ladder.

As arrows, rolling stones, wood, and kerosene fell, casualties began to occur among the officers and soldiers who stepped on the ladder.

Liu Bei was supervising the battle from the rear. He had noticed that more and more of his own soldiers were attacking the city wall.

When Zhang Fei saw it, he couldn't help laughing and said,"Brother, today is indeed different from yesterday. The resistance of the moth thieves has weakened."

Liu Beixian's strategy is indeed effective. Now that the Yellow Turban Army in the city is thinking of abandoning the city and fleeing for their lives, who will defend the city desperately.

At the same time, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Zhong in the city have decided to abandon the city.

"Get out of town!"

"Come with me!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Han Zhong led his men and rushed out first to complete the east gate.

Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong led their troops closely behind. After the three men rushed out of the city with their men, the Yellow Turban Army in the city also ran out in a swarm.

And all this was as expected by Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun had ambushed troops outside the east gate and south gate. As long as Zhao Hong and others abandoned the city, they would be ambushed immediately.

Liu Bei would follow with his troops. Cover-up, the Yellow Turban Army can only be slaughtered.

Sure enough, when Han Zhong led his troops and rushed over a hillside, under the woods and grass on both sides of the hillside, officers and soldiers holding bows and arrows suddenly shot out.

A dense rain of arrows Shooting came, Han Zhong and others were shot to death first.
