Chapter 416: Stabilize the Army's Morale and Find an Opportunity
"Report, the south gate has been breached by enemy troops."
The quarter of an hour agreed upon by Liao Hua and Zhang He has not yet arrived.
Xu Huang first received the news that the south gate had been breached.
It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, exploding in Xu Huang's ears.
He transferred most of the troops from the south gate and the north gate to the west gate to support Zhang Xi.
Now the west gate has not been lost, but the south gate has been broken first.
Xu You gathered 40,000 troops at the West Gate, Xu Huang really didn't expect it, this was also a disguise.
The real attack turned out to be the South Gate.
There were originally 10,000 defenders at the south gate, but after being transferred by Xu Huang, there were only 1,000 left.
Xu You led a large army to attack Ximen, but this was only to attract Xu Huang's attention.
From beginning to end, Xu You did not fully believe in Liao Hua.
Even if the east gate was opened, the fight was very fierce.
Even Zhang He, who led the troops into the city, has fallen into the upper hand and is in critical condition.
Xu You did not add a single soldier to the east gate.
The East Gate was not the target of Xu You's Zhang He's key attack.
It's just the main force that involves Xu Huang.
Even if it is a trick, Xu You's side is not without opportunities.
In the current situation, it is difficult to say whether it is Zhang Hezhong's plan or Xu Huang's plan.
Or both sides have been tricked.
It depends on who commands better on the spot and who judges the battle situation more accurately.
See who can take the best chances.
No one is sure to win.
Xu You's attack on the south gate was not a plan he had made with Zhang He before.
It was a sudden thought that came to him when he attacked Simon.
Then Xu Yu quietly divided five thousand people.
In the dark night, Xu You didn't know how many defenders Xu Huang had arranged at the south gate, he just wanted to try it.
But I didn't expect to really hit the south gate.
Xu Huang's troops left at the south gate and north gate were too small, and they were very empty, and they were only two captains with average strength in charge.
After seeing that there were people besieging the city under the city, and that there were obviously more people than them, it was only symbolically resisted, and it was defeated.
As soon as the south gate was broken, Xu You immediately dispatched 10,000 people from the west gate and entered the city from the south gate.
After these 10,000 soldiers entered the city, they added the previous 5,000 people, and divided into two roads, one road facing east, towards Xu Huang's side.
All the way to the west, ready to cooperate from the inside, the soldiers outside the west gate.
As Xu Yu led people into the city, the situation began to turn against Xu Huang.
He hasn't wiped out Zhang He yet.
Waiting for the Yuan army to come in from the south gate, they attacked the rear of Xu Huang's army, and Zhang He cooperated from the other side.
The rout may be the tens of thousands of troops in Xu Huang's hands.
Zhang He still has more than 7,000 people in his hands.
"Brothers, the south gate has been breached, and we are going to win." Zhang He also received the news.
He shouted out loud.
Zhang He's voice fell.
The remaining 7,000 people were already shaken in their hearts, but now when they heard what Zhang He said, they were instantly full of confidence.
As long as they hold on for a while, they will win.
Not only do they not die, but they receive credit.
I have already harvested a human head, and I think about how much reward I can get after I go back this time.
They haven't won yet, and their fighting spirit is stronger, and they need heads to guarantee their merits in exchange for rewards.
One by one, they began to fight desperately, just hoping to kill one enemy.
Seven thousand people, the combat power that broke out at this moment is stronger than the ten thousand at the beginning.
With Zhang He's high fighting spirit, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu Huang began to decline, and they were completely suppressed by Zhang He.
These Yellow Turban Army are still not mature enough.
Xu Huang's training time is still too short.
Feeling the momentum of the enemy's outburst, they didn't even have the courage to resist.
It was suppressed at the first time. There is a panic in their hearts, always worried that there will be an enemy behind them who will suddenly kill them.
Xu Huang also felt the emotional changes of these Yellow Turban Army.
Let's not talk about the army led by Xu You, how long will it take to arrive.
As far as the current military spirit of the Yellow Turban Army is concerned, even if Xu You's soldiers and horses do not come, they may be defeated by Zhang He and turned into victory.
It's night, no more than daytime.
Ordinary soldiers simply do not know the real situation of the war situation.
When a person starts to be afraid, the panic can quickly spread to everyone.
"The south gate has not been breached, so there is no need to worry." Xu Huang shouted.
His voice was louder than Zhang He's.
"There are only 5,000 of them, brothers, kill me. Whether you can marry a wife depends on how many heads you can cut off tonight. ”
The south gate had been breached, but Xu Huang could not tell the news to the Yellow Turban Army.
At the same time, Xu Huang said that Zhang He's strength was a little smaller.
"The general has an order, and whoever kills Zhang He will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and promoted to a general."
Xu Huang's voice alone could not reach the ears of all the Yellow Turban Army.
But the guards who were with him were already shouting loudly.
The momentum of the Yellow Turban Army, which had just been suppressed, began to rise again at this moment.
The voice rose wave after wave, gradually overpowering Zhang Hejun's voice.
The number of the Yellow Turban Army was much higher than the strength in Zhang He's hands.
The voice that broke out now was also stronger than Zhang He's army.
Those Yellow Turban Army, the panic that had just risen in their hearts gradually calmed down under the roar.
The fear in my heart has been dispelled.
All that remains is the burning will of war.
They are ashamed of the fear they have just born.
The enemy is only 5,000 men, so why should they be afraid.
They outnumbered the enemy.
The roar is still there.
One by one, the Yellow Turbans continued to charge towards the enemy.
Whether it is Zhang He or Xu Huang, they are very good at mobilizing the morale of the army.
Although the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army once again overwhelmed Zhang Hejun.
But Zhang He's soldiers were not discouraged.
They believed Zhang He's words.
They believed that the south gate had been breached, and that reinforcements would arrive soon.
They believed that they would win and that the Yellow Turbans would be defeated.
Even though the voice was not as loud as the Yellow Turbans, no one flinched.
Everybody is doing their best.
"Zhang He, my people can't hold on." This time, Liao Hua rushed directly in front of Zhang He.
"A quarter of an hour, it's not yet here, let your people hold on for a while." Zhang He said.
"The south gate has been broken, let my people in." Liao Hua said.
At the city gate, there were already corpses all over the place.
There are Zhang He's soldiers and horses, and there are also Yellow Turban Army.
"General, I can't stop it."
The generals sent by Zhang He to guard the city gate also sent people to report to Zhang He.
Liao Hua and Zhang Wang's deliberate control.
The soldiers sent by Zhang He to guard the city gate instantly became more stressful.
In less than a quarter of an hour, there were only more than two hundred people left.
I had to come over and report to Zhang He that the city gate might fall back into Zhang Wang's hands at any time.
"Hold on! I'm giving you three hundred men, and I'll keep them. ”
Even if his own people came over, Zhang He still didn't let them give up withdrawing.
but they were dividing three hundred men to guard the gates.
Only by guarding the city gate will his back road not be broken.
Even now that the South Gate has been breached, Zhang He does not want to give up control of the East Gate.
