Even if Liao Hua had been prepared in his heart, he did not expect that Goguryeo's offensive would be so fierce, and now that the enemy army entered the city, he could only lead the people to occupy the dangerous road and rely on the houses to intercept it.

The sun rose again, and Gongsun Du finally ordered a halt to the attack, ordering the soldiers to rest for an hour, eat something to recover their strength, and then take the city in one fell swoop.

When Zhou Cang saw that the enemy army had stopped attacking, he found Liao Hua as soon as possible, and wanted him to lead the old and weak women and children to break through from the north gate.

When Liao Hua heard Zhou Cang's suggestion, he was not moved at all, leaving only a sentence "The city is in the people, and the city is lost and people die", and sat aside to wipe the weapon.

Watching Liao Hua wipe his weapons like a machine, Zhou Cang shook his head and persuaded again, "Liao Hua, you are still young, and you will have a lot of opportunities to fight on the battlefield in the future, so why bother." ”

Liao Hua stopped wiping, looked into the distance with his eyes, and slowly replied, "General Zhou, the villain once promised the captain who died in battle that he must defend the city, even if it is death." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Cang fell silent, then left a sentence, and strode back to the guarded house.

"There are still nearly 30,000 old and weak women and children in the city, and at a critical moment, I hope you can lead them out."

Looking at Zhou Cang in the distance, Liao Hua picked up the dry food and began to eat it in a big gulp.

An hour passed quickly, and the Goguryeo soldiers began to attack fiercely, as if they had sworn to take the city.

Retreat, keep slowly retreating, but the city is so big in total, there is a place to retreat.

It was another day of hard fighting, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in the city, three-quarters of the city had been lost, and only a quarter near the north gate was in the hands of the people.

The situation was dangerous, and Zhou Cang found Liao Hua again and ordered him to break out of the city with the people in the city.

Seeing that Liao Hua was still reluctant to leave, Zhou Cang's big knife held Liao Hua's neck and asked angrily, "Liao Hua, do you break through or not!" ”

Liao Hua replied expressionlessly, "Most of the city has been lost, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and wounded, you told me to flee for my life now, is it possible?" ”

"You, you ......" Zhou Cangzhen had no choice but to put away the knife and sigh on the side.

Liao Hua looked at his eyes, stepped forward and patted Zhou Cang's shoulder, and said slowly, "If I go, the people will be cold, and the general may not be able to hold out for a few hours, and we will suffer heavy casualties, how much better will the enemy army besieging the city be?" ”

Zhou Cang has never led a soldier, but he also knows some common sense, and he knows that what Liao Hua said is reasonable, so he can only reluctantly agree.

With nowhere to retreat, the people were determined to die and began to launch a life-threatening blockade, desperately blocking the enemy army.

After a new day, Gongsun Du's department only advanced a few hundred meters, and then it was difficult to walk half a step.

As the sky darkened, Gongsun Du stopped attacking, because he now had few soldiers and horses left, and if he attacked again, he was afraid that he would be unable to defend when he took it.

The Taishou Mansion in the city has been occupied by Gongsun Du, and he has also moved his residence to a place, and at this time he is convening the generals to discuss.

Looking at the wounded generals, Gongsun Du Haosheng comforted him and promised some benefits, and then Zhengse said that tomorrow morning, I will bother you to take the city. ”

"Yes, I didn't obey!"

……

Seeing that all the generals were tired, Gongsun Du waved his hand and retreated from the generals, ready to discuss some other matters with the trial alone.

Seeing that the people had gone, Gongsun Du quickly asked, "Sir, now there are less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left in the headquarters, if the Xuanwu reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that I will not be able to defend it." ”

The judge naturally knew what Gongsun Du meant, so he replied, "The general only needs to do his best to hold on and attract Li Huiyi to send a large army to come, and when our lord breaks the main force of Beiping on his right, the general will be counted as the first merit." ”

Gongsun Du nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "Then the Liaodong and other places promised before, are they calculated?" ”

"Of course, that's what the general deserves." ”

Reconfirmed, Gongsun Du was relieved, and said that he would definitely take the whole city tomorrow, even if it was a heavy loss.

……

…………

Fifty miles outside the city, Huang Zhong led more than 700 soldiers and was moving forward quickly, when a lieutenant caught up and persuaded him

"General, it's been a day and a night of marching, and the soldiers have no strength, so let's rest."

Huang Zhong turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw that the soldiers were all vain, according to this state, I am afraid that they will not be able to fight.

In desperation, Huang Zhong agreed with the captain's words and ordered him to rest for an hour before hurrying.

Hearing that he could rest, the soldier was relieved of his breath, felt collapsed and hurriedly sat on the ground, and in less than a moment, there was one snoring sound after another.

Huang Zhong shook his head, then turned over and dismounted, and also sat aside to rest with his eyes closed.

An hour passed quickly, Huang Zhong opened his eyes on time, and called out loudly to the soldiers to get up and prepare to go.

When he woke up in his sleep, the soldier felt a pain in his head, his eyes opened in a daze, and he stood up with a reluctant expression.

And some of the bold people even begged Huang Zhong to rest for another hour, because he was too tired.

The captain looked at it in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he joined the persuasion team.

"Bang!"

Huang Zhong held the big knife in one hand, poked it into the ground, and asked loudly, "Wait for a little more rest, there will be more danger in North Korea, if you don't want to move forward, Huang will go to the rescue alone." ”

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he picked up his sword and got on his horse, and was about to set off, but when the soldiers on the ground saw this, they all stood up and followed.

After several hours of hurried travel, and there were only five miles left outside the city, dozens of scouts sent by Huang Zhong reported that no enemy camp had been found outside the city, and the Korean city had been lost.

When Huang Zhong heard the news, his face showed helplessness, and he ordered the army to stop advancing, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was still one step late.

Now there are only a few hundred soldiers, and the siege will definitely not work, it seems that the only way to do this is to check it first and then make a decision.

Huang Zhong came back to his senses and wanted to call the soldiers to investigate, but when he saw that they were all beginning to fall asleep, he recruited the captain and asked him to arrange for someone to keep vigil, and he got on his horse and galloped forward to investigate.

Outside the Korean city, Huang Zhong took advantage of the night to quickly approach the city gate.

Well!?

As soon as I came to the city gate, I saw countless corpses lying horizontally and vertically under the half-hidden and dilapidated city gate, and not far away two soldiers were sleeping soundly with weapons in their arms.

Huang Zhong quickly squatted down, his eyes swept over the dead corpses on the ground, and found that most of them were Han people's clothes, and a few were Goguryeo soldiers.

It seems that Goguryeo should have broken through the city soon, and it also suffered heavy losses, otherwise it would not have been so lax in its defense.

But why didn't the defeated soldiers and civilians be found, and all of them were killed?

Huang Zhong put away his thoughts, walked lightly and left quickly, returned to the place where the horse was tied, untied the reins, turned over and quickly returned to the horse.

Huang Zhong Pegasus came to the soldier's resting place and called out loudly, "Wake up! Wake up! Get up and set off for Joseon City, and make sure to take it back! ”

The soldier was awakened by the sound, first with an ugly face, then with a look of astonishment, and then with a look of confusion.

General Huang, what is this, do you want to capture a city with these hundreds of people, isn't it crazy, and there are no siege equipment.

Huang Zhong saw the soldier looking at him with a puzzled expression, and said angrily.

"Huang just went to the outside of the city to see, the corpses of the people who died in battle are all over the ground, they can still fight to the death with the enemy, and you, as soldiers, are indeed questioning Huang's commander, it seems that the soldiers under Liaodong Hou are really disappointing!"

When the soldiers heard Huang Zhong's words, their faces showed anger, but then they lowered their heads in shame, holding a breath in their chests.
