The 149th chapter is difficult to defend the city (5)

The book continues from the previous chapter.

But he said that Guan Yu and Xu Huang had forgiven Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei and the two of them went to see Li Zhi together.

At this time, Li Zhi was commanding the army to resist the Yellow Turbans on the city wall.

However, when Guan Hai outside the city saw Zhou Cang entering the city, a large boulder immediately fell down and blocked the city entrance. He immediately understood that he had fallen into a trap.

When Guan Hai saw that he had fallen into Li Zhi's trick, he was furious and no longer cared about the casualties of his men. He commanded his troops to attack the city wall crazily, venting his anger and embarrassment.

Because Guan Hai discovered that since the fall of Zhoucang, both Bian Xi and Pei Yuanshao looked at him strangely.

Guan Hai knew that the two of them were actually laughing at him. The plan he was proud of not only failed, but was used by Li Zhi, which greatly damaged his vitality. How could he not avenge such a revenge?

At this time, Liu Bei and others came to the city wall and saw Li Zhi who was commanding the army to resist the Yellow Turbans' crazy attack.

The four of them saw that Li Zhi was commanding the army to defend against the enemy and did not dare to disturb him. They stood aside and looked at Li Zhi quietly.

Li Zhi didn't notice them either. He was directing the soldiers holding large shields to block the Yellow Turbans who had just rushed up the city wall.

Although this method was effective, several people had already jumped up from the gap under the Yellow Turban's fearless attack.

Seeing this, Li Zhi did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered his soldiers to kill all the yellow scarves to prevent them from forming an ant nest.

Although he easily blocked the Yellow Turban attack this time, Li Zhi was not very happy. Instead, he looked outside the city and frowned.

Although Li Zhi had blocked several sieges by the Yellow Turbans, he knew in his heart that the Yellow Turbans had not actually lost many troops in these sieges.

The 50,000 to 60,000 people led by Zhou Cang were just a casualty to the Yellow Turbans, but to the 6 to 700,000-strong army, they did not damage their roots.

If the Yellow Turbans were like now, not caring about losses and attacking endlessly, they would be able to defeat this city in just a few days.

Moreover, Li Zhi was more worried about Ximen guarded by Dong Zhuo than he was here.

After all, in history, Dong Zhuo was scared away even when he had a huge advantage, and now he is at an absolute disadvantage, isn't it...

Thinking of this, Li Zhi frowned and fell into deep thought while looking at the precarious city wall.

Just when Li Zhi was in a daze, Guo Jia on the side saw the four Liu Bei, poked Li Zhi and whispered: "Brother!"

"Huh?" Li Zhi came back to his senses and looked at Guo Jia. When he saw him winking at him, he followed his gaze and looked back.

Li Zhi was greatly surprised when he saw Liu Bei and the other four. He hurried over and asked with confusion on his face: "I wonder what brought Brother Xuande and Brother Yun Changxian here? But what orders does Mr. Lu have?"

"No." Liu Bei shook his head and told Li Zhi the purpose of his visit.

Li Zhi heard that Liu Bei and others were sent by Lu Gong to rescue him. He couldn't laugh or cry. He rubbed his forehead and asked helplessly: "Does Lu Gong think that I am so capable? With 60,000 troops, I can defend a city wall for even a day."

No?"

"Uh..." Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled awkwardly. He really didn't expect this, but now after Li Zhi reminded him, he found that Lu Gong really looked down on Li Zhi.

Although Liu Bei had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Zhi in his heart, for the sake of elders, Lu Zhi was his mentor. Liu Bei couldn't fault him, so he changed the subject and said, "I wonder how many days the god can last here?"

Li Zhiwen

He said with a long sigh, pointed at the Yellow Turbans attacking again outside the city, frowned and said: "I don't know how long I can last. If the Yellow Turbans attack the city continuously like this, I'm afraid that

I can’t even last two days.”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed: "We still don't have enough troops. If the Yellow Turban army is only three times as large as mine, then I wouldn't even defend the city and just go out to fight with them! But ten times..."

Having said this, Li Zhi gave a bitter laugh, shook his head, and said nothing.

Everyone else was silent when they heard the words, and their hearts were heavy.

They all understood what Li Zhi meant. If the enemy was 10 times stronger and attacked continuously, the city might not be able to survive for three days before being breached.

The breakout time they agreed upon was exactly three days later, but these three days were...

Seeing that everyone was silent and worried because of his words, Li Zhi forced himself to cheer up and comforted: "You don't have to worry so much. These yellow scarves are also human beings, and they also have times when they are tired."

As he said that, he pointed at the Yellow Turbans who were attacking the city: "We will attack the city with such force today. When tomorrow, he sees that the losses will be too great, he will not dare to attack the city with such unscrupulousness."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and nodded. Although they knew that what Li Zhi said was not necessarily right, it was still a hope. No matter how slim the hope was, it was better than no hope at all.

Seeing that everyone's expressions had calmed down, Li Zhi asked Liu Bei, "Brother Xuande, how is Mr. Lu doing?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed: "What else can we do? It's just like here. The Yellow Turbans are attacking like crazy, and we can only barely parry."

Li Zhi nodded, the answer was not beyond his expectation.

Later, Li Zhi asked the question he was most concerned about: "Does Brother Xuande know what the situation is like in Dong Zhuo?"

"General Dong's place?" Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "The situation at General Dong's place is even worse, and I have asked my mentor for help several times.

As a last resort, my mentor squeezed out 10,000 reinforcements from his own troops and sent them to him. As for what happened at this time, I don't know."

"Ten thousand?" Li Zhi calculated silently in his mind, and then said in shock: "Luke Lu originally only had an army of 50,000, but he sent 10,000 reinforcements to Dong Zhuo, and also ordered Brother Xuande to bring 10,000 reinforcements, and so on.

After all, doesn’t Duke Lu only have more than 30,000 people at this time?!”

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he saw Liu Bei nodded with an ugly expression.

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly said: "I don't need reinforcements here. Brother Xuande will go back quickly to help Duke Lu defend the city. I am afraid that Duke Lu's thirty thousand people will not be able to withstand the Yellow Turbans."

Liu Bei also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he no longer hesitated and said goodbye: "In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Li Zhi cupped his fists and replied: "Brother Xuande, take care!"

Liu Bei nodded, immediately turned around, and hurried away with his army.

When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei leaving, he was about to follow him back to Lu Zhi's place, but suddenly he thought of the incident in Zhoucang.

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, then said to Li Zhi: "Brother, when I saw the Yellow Turban Qushuai who was captured by my brother, I was very fond of him and wanted to take him as my subordinate. I hope my brother agrees!"

"Huang Jin Qu Shuai? What's going on?" Li Zhi turned his eyes to Xu Huang.

Seeing Li Zhi looking at him, Xu Huang quickly explained the matter to Li Zhi.

"Zhou Cang?" After Li Zhi understood what happened, his face looked a little strange.

Li Zhi was quite speechless at this time, thinking: "Guan Yu and Zhou Cang are really destined. It seems that Zhou Cang in history was Guan Yu."

Are you following Yu?

I have changed Guan Yu's fate, but I didn't expect that they would still meet together. Could it be that there is really God's will in the dark?"

Thinking of this, Li Zhishi laughed, shook his head, and threw away the nonsense in his mind.

Seeing that Guan Yu was still looking at him expectantly, Li Zhi nodded slightly and agreed to the matter: "Shan, Zhoucang will be handed over to Brother Yun Changxian this week."

When Guan Yu heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, brother!"

After saying that, Guan Yu looked at the army that had gone away, and said goodbye to Li Zhi: "Brother, the situation there with my mentor is urgent, so I won't stay any longer. Take my leave!"

Li Zhi nodded, cupped his hands and replied: "Take care!"

Looking at Guan Yu's hurried away figure, Li Zhi was speechless.

Li Zhi didn't know if he could survive the test this time. After all, the Yellow Turbans outside were too crazy.

At this time, those Yellow Turbans no longer care about the losses, they only want to capture the city. With such a brutal siege, if you are not careful, this farewell may be a farewell forever...

Just as Li Zhi was sighing in his heart, the Yellow Turbans outside attacked again. Seeing this, Li Zhi did not dare to think nonsense anymore and quickly turned around to command the army to resist the Yellow Turbans.

In the Yellow Turban camp outside the city.

Guan Hai was so angry that he was beaten down again and again, but there was nothing he could do.

This is already the ninth time to attack the city. The previous eight times were all annihilations.

The Yellow Turban soldiers had tried their best, and Guan Hai couldn't blame them.

Therefore, Guan Hai could only wave the riding crop in his hand with hatred to vent his depression.

At this time, Bian Xi saw that Guan Hai had been blinded by anger and lost his sense of control. He stepped forward and grabbed his waving right hand and shouted loudly: "Brother Guan, don't do this!

Even if you break your arm, it will be of no use! Calm down! Think about how to attack the city!"

Guan Hai was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his right hand in frustration and looked at the city wall blankly.

At this time, Guan Hai was helpless, because he had tried every possible way. The city gate was blocked and it was impossible to attack from the city gate, and he couldn't fly to escape...

"Huh? Escape?!" Suddenly Guan Hai seemed to have thought of some plan. He turned his head sharply, looked at Bian Xi, and asked eagerly: "Do we have any mountain movers or mountain warriors in our army?"

When Bian Xi heard this, he frowned and asked, "Brother Guan, why do you ask these picky people?"

Seeing that Bian Xi didn't answer, Guan Hai asked back, grabbed his arm, and asked eagerly: "Don't worry about what I am looking for these people for now! Can you answer me first if I have them?! These people are of great use to me!"

Bian Xi saw that Guan Hai was indeed in a hurry, so he stopped trying to make excuses. He nodded and replied, "There are a few local masters, but I have sent them to clean up everyone's excrement."

"Okay, okay! It's good to have it!" Guan Hai heard this, clapped his hands and laughed, cheering repeatedly.

After saying that, he looked at Bian Xi excitedly and said eagerly: "Brother Bian, gather those people together quickly. Whether we can capture this city depends on the abilities of those people!"

Bian was happy to see Guan Hai so excited and asked curiously: "What does Brother Guan want these native masters to do? But he thought of something wonderful..."

Having said this, Bian Xi stopped speaking and looked thoughtful.
