"Bang bang bang!"

"Kill!"

As soon as the sky dawned, yellow-shirted soldiers all over the mountains and plains launched a new round of attack on Taizhou City.

Wuyangyang's soldiers poured towards the city wall like a tide. There was almost no neat formation, and there was no progression from level to level. It was just pure numbers crushing them.

In just four or five days of siege, the corpses of soldiers from both sides were piled inside and outside the city wall, and a stench rose into the sky.

The soldiers stepped on the blood that accumulated in the river and struggled to climb up.

The fighting was so intense that neither side had time to collect the corpses. Every time the Yellow Shirt Army attacked for a whole day, they would collect the wounded soldiers at night and transport them for treatment.

Huang Ji's troops on the top of the city were even more ruthless. They threw the corpses off the city wall and used them as weapons to hit the soldiers who were climbing the city.

Blood and fire intertwined in the air, making everything look messy.

"Where are the reinforcements? Who can tell me where they are!"

Huang Ji walked back and forth in the house. He didn't sleep a wink for almost two days and two nights.

In order to defend the city, he had sent out all the soldiers he could, and even brought in common people from the city to serve as strong men.

Human lives are being devoured on the city walls every day. An extra hour will mean many more people will die, but the expected reinforcements have yet to arrive.

A lieutenant whispered quietly next to him:

"Master Zhao's headquarters is only a hundred miles away from here. The cavalry will definitely be able to arrive in a day and night, but until today, we have not seen a single soldier. General, I am afraid we are counting on reinforcements from Master Zhao...

"

Huang Ji's expression turned cold and he muttered viciously: "Zhao Zhongtian! You bastard who refuses to save you!"

How could Huang Ji not know the reason why Zhao Zhongtian did not send troops? It was just to avenge a previous personal grudge.

Before, he was still holding on to a little bit of luck, hoping that Zhao Zhongtian would reach out to help him regardless of his past grudges, but now his hope was completely shattered.

The lieutenant general remained silent. The situation was already very critical. If the fight continued, all the soldiers in the city would die.

Moreover, not only Zhao Zhongtian and Wu Xinrou's reinforcements were missing, but Huang Ji's own soldiers stationed elsewhere on Tai'an Road also did not come.

Apparently they were all blocked by the yellow shirt army.

Huang Ji held his head and sat silently on the chair for a long time. Finally he stood up and said with a ferocious face:

"Bring me my armor. I, the general, will go to the city in person to supervise the battle! We can't control whether the reinforcements come or not. At worst, we will fight Qin Xiaotian to the death!"

Since you want my head, I will break your front teeth too!"

Although Huang Ji also came from a humble background, he has been a private salt dealer for so many years, and his life-threatening ruthlessness is really scary.

The deputy general trembled all over and shouted in a deep voice:

"promise!"



As night fell, the Yellow Shirt Army camp outside the city was noisy. The wounded soldiers who had been withdrawn from the city were rushed into the barracks for treatment.

Today's siege still failed to break the city and only resulted in many wounded soldiers.

In fact, so far, the number of casualties of the Yellow Shirt Army is still negligible compared to the total strength. After all, their strength is absolutely superior.

But what Qin Xiaotian cares about is not casualties, but time.

In the commander's tent, Qin Xiaotian stood in front of the map with a frown on his face. The army had been attacking for several days, and the situation would not be good if it continued.

Huang Ji's reinforcements coming from other directions were blocked by his troops, and Zhao Zhongtian did not send troops either. This was just as Ling Gong had expected, that Mr. Zhao would not save Huang Ji.

Therefore, the winner between the two sides still lies in the city of Taizhou in front of them.

Although the army attacked the city in the past two days and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the officers and soldiers, they were fought back every time by Huang Ji's troops.

"General!"

Li Yuan strode in, his face also a little gloomy.

"How is the condition of the siege soldiers?" Qin Xiaotian asked calmly.

Li Yuan cupped his fists and replied: "There are hundreds of wounded soldiers, and the siege of the city has made great progress today. According to the soldiers who went up to the city, it seems that Huang Ji has already gone to the city in person to supervise the battle."

"Huangji!"

Upon hearing this name, Qin Xiaotian's face instantly became angry, and he said coldly:

"Even Huang Ji was dispatched. The defenders on the city must have been exhausted."

Li Yuan said softly: "General, the war in Taizhou City cannot be delayed any longer. Let the general select a thousand dead men and attack the city tomorrow."

"Are you going? You are a cavalry general." Qin Xiaotian hesitated.

Li Yuan was a rare general under his command, but siege warfare was the most destructive. If Li Yuan died at the top of the city, he would not be able to bear it.

"General, the king and Mr. Ling are still waiting for our victory report. If we can't attack again, we will..." Li Yuan's tone became more serious.

"Okay~"

Qin Xiaotian finally nodded in agreement: "You can choose all the soldiers in the army! We swear to kill this thief Huang Ji!"

"promise!"



Anger surged in the yellow-shirted army commander's tent far away on Jiuchang Road.

After hearing the scout's report, Wu Zhiyong cursed angrily:

"How is that possible! The officers and soldiers were fighting us on the front line, but where did the troops come from to go around to our rear, and they successively captured Wei County, Hecheng and other places!"

According to reports from the scouts, within just two days, four or five cities behind the army were captured by the army, and basically all the defenders were wiped out.

The rest of the generals in the tent also fell silent. The presence of officers and soldiers in these places meant that their retreat was cut off.

The scout said in a hurried tone: "There are not many officers and soldiers, but they are all cavalry and they move very fast. There are not many guards in each city, so we can't stop them at all."

In order to prepare for this war, all the garrison troops in the cities within Jiuchang Road were mobilized. Those who were left to defend the city were all old, weak, sick and disabled. How could they defeat Dugu Nan's elite light cavalry.

"Asshole!"

Wu Zhiyong slapped his palm on the table.

The deputy general beside him bowed and said: "General, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers are trying to block our retreat and cut off our food route. We must take precautions early."

Wu Zhiyong rubbed his forehead and said coldly: "Then we won't fight them here and let the rear army break out of the camp first and regain Wei County and other places. They can't rely on more than 10,000 cavalry to defend the city, right?"

"promise!"

"call out!"

Just as the generals clasped their fists in response and prepared to leave camp and set off, a sharp sound pierced the night sky outside the tent.

Everyone's expressions turned cold, and they all turned to look at Wu Zhiyong.

"Report!"

A soldier rushed into the tent, knelt down and shouted:

"The front camp was attacked by official troops, and there were also signs of official military movements on the east and west wings."

"It seems that the officers and soldiers want to block us here~" Wu Zhiyong's face became calmer, but only those who are familiar with him know that Wu Zhiyong is the craziest at this time.

"General, we have to have a good fight with the army." The general in the tent was filled with indignation.

"Hoo~"

Wu Zhiyong leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, then stood up and shouted coldly:

“Generals, when it comes to life or death, we can only fight to the death!

Follow me to meet the enemy!"

"promise!"
