Three Kingdoms: I ran for my life all the way, but was forced to become the master of this world!

Chapter 460

Above the head of the city, the drums of war continued to beat, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the two sides did not know how many hours of fighting, and I did not know how many soldiers were killed and wounded, but the battle continued.

Liu Bao, the Xiongnu king of Zuoxian, did not care about the casualties at all, and vowed to attack the city to the death. King Liu Jun of Han was above the city tower, not giving an inch.

The barracks in the city are also very busy, but not flustered, everything is in order.

Emperor Fu Hong of Beidi Taishou led a cadre of officials and some soldiers of Beidi County to treat wounded soldiers and at the same time, transporting equipment for defending the city from the armory.

Fa Zheng sent these instruments to a group of soldiers, and at the same time prepared them to rush to the city and fight the Huns.

Liu Bao's method of filling the city with sand, Fa Zheng really did not think of it, and in Western Liang, this is a good way to attack the city. Due to the dry weather, the city basically has no moat, and the sand will not be washed away. And here is full of yellow sand, when the wind is strong, do not say that artificial filling of the city, a strong wind overnight may fill a city.

Although the Xiongnu soldiers are still blocked on the slope to death, and the sky is almost dark, they will definitely be able to hold it today. But if Liu Leopard attacks with such intensity every day, how many days can this Maling City hold? After all, there are 60,000 or 70,000 Xiongnu soldiers outside the city, while the Han army only has 30,000 soldiers and horses!

Although Yiqu and Fuping were at odds with Maling, those two places were also pinned down by Xiongnu soldiers and horses, and it was not easy to get rid of the enemy army and aid Maling.

Fa Zheng is constantly thinking, he must think of a way to break the enemy, but where are the soldiers who can be used now?

"Cavalry ... Zhang Xiu..." Suddenly, Fa Zheng thought of the only soldier and horse, Zhang Xiu's five thousand cavalry.

Although Yang Ming was restraining him, the speed of the cavalry was very fast, and Yang Ming was stationed about thirty miles away from Liucheng, it was very easy to get rid of it, once he got rid of it, Yang Ming wanted to catch up, it was simply impossible.

However, Zhang Xiu's troops were too small, and the five thousand soldiers and horses could only be used for sneak attacks, and if he fought head-on with Liu Bao's tens of thousands of troops, it would be difficult to win.

How to use these 5,000 soldiers and horses to force Liu Bao to retreat? Fa Zheng pondered.

"Surround Wei and save Zhao!" Suddenly, Fa Zheng thought of a strategy, "Yes, just use Wei Wei to save Zhao and force Liu Bao to retreat!" Fa

Zheng immediately wrote a letter and asked the Skynet Camp Flying Pigeon to pass the book to Zhang Xiu in Liucheng.

When it finally darkened, the Xiongnu army stopped attacking the city and withdrew to the sound of choked horns.

The entire slope was densely packed with corpses, and blood was still gurgling.

In less than a day, the Xiongnu soldiers suffered more than 30,000 casualties, while the Han army was close to 20,000.

Although the city was not broken, Liu Bao was already very satisfied, and at such a speed to attack the city, the Han army could not withstand several days of attrition. And this slope he cast, after a day of trampling by soldiers and horses, watered with blood and water, is already very strong, and there is no need to worry about being destroyed by the Han army.

He was killed and wounded many soldiers and horses, but the main force was still there, as long as he could capture or kill Liu Jun in Beidi County, then it would be easy to sweep the Guanzhong Road. Therefore, Liu Bao did not care about deaths and injuries.

After a day of fighting, Liu Jun returned to the Taishou Mansion, although very tired, but he did not sleep.

Wang Ping and Liu Hu were the same, and they came to the study at the same time as Fa Zheng and Huangfuhong.

"Lord, our casualties in this battle were too great, and we lost about 17,000 people." Liu Hu's eyes were blood-red, he had fought countless battles with his lord Liu Jun, but it was the first time he had encountered such casualties.

"Lord, the Xiongnu soldiers are cleaning up the corpses, and their casualties should have exceeded thirty thousand." Seeing the pain on everyone's faces, Huangfuhong comforted.

Compared to the number of casualties on both sides, this is completely acceptable. But the Han army has too few troops to consume!

"Lord, his subordinates have sent a letter to Zhang Xiu of Liucheng, let him raid Tongwancheng and force Liu Bao to withdraw his troops!" Fazheng said.

"Raid Tongwan City!" Liu Jun listened to Fa Zheng's words and nodded, "This is indeed a good way, but..."

Fa Zheng also looked melancholy, he carefully considered, even if Zhang Xiu killed Tongwan City non-stop and broke the city, it would take at least five days for the news to reach here! Judging from today's battle situation, Maling City could not hold for five days at all, at most two to three days.

"Lord, it's better for us to temporarily abandon Maling and retreat to Yiqu." Huang Fuhong said, "Even if Liu Bao uses the same method to attack Yiqu, he will win at least two or three days."

"Lord, Jian Shou's words are reasonable, we should not die here!" Fazheng said.

Liu Wei did not speak, pacing back and forth in the study, and after a moment, asked rhetorically: "Huangfu Taishou, with your experience in Beidi County, what will the Xiongnu soldiers do after breaking the city?" "

The Xiongnu soldiers will..." Huangfuhong thought for a moment, and his face suddenly changed, "They will definitely slaughter the city!"

The Xiongnu soldiers were originally slaughtering, and after breaking the city, they would generally kill all young and middle-aged men, and snatch all women and children. But once you suffer losses during the siege of the city, you will slaughter the city. Liu Bao suffered such a big loss outside Maling City, and once the city was broken, none of the people in the city would be spared.

Can you take the people of the city with you and evacuate? Simply impossible!

The Xiongnu soldiers outside the city are all cavalry, if they want to retreat to Yiqu, they must quietly go out of the city, and they can't let the Xiongnu soldiers find out, how can they bring the people?

"If the Central Plains is fighting for hegemony, fighting with Cao Cao or Sun Quan, knowing that the whole army will be wiped out, it is understandable to withdraw in time. But now it's different, we're dealing with fierce foreigners. Liu Jun's tone was very resolute, "The Xiongnu soldiers are a group of rich wolves, and we are not guarding a city, but tens of thousands of people in the city. Every grain we eat, every piece of clothing, every armor we wear, every weapon we use, all the same, is not the hard work of the people. If we don't come forward with foreign killings, will we still let them use their flesh and blood to block it? Fear of absconding, putting my own people under the iron hooves and butcher knives of foreign races, I Liu Jun cannot do it. As long as I Liu Chen still has a breath in this battle, I will never take a step back.

"Lord, the last general is willing to coexist with the city, fight to the death with the Xiongnu, and never take a step back!" After Wang Ping listened to Liu Ping's words, he was moved and stimulated his fighting spirit. Wouldn't it be happy to follow such a lord and die in battle?

"Fight to the death with the Xiongnu, coexist with the city, and never take a step back!" Liu Hu, Fa Zheng, and Huangfuhong also said loudly at the same time. At this time, what is death? No matter how powerful the Xiongnu iron horse is, they must also use their flesh and blood to build a Great Wall outside Serbia!
