This time the siege started in the morning and went all the way to Huangkun.%&*
Fazheng did not stop, and continued to attack continuously, using blades, bows and arrows to break open the bodies of the soldiers on both sides, letting blood dye the city walls and the ground red.
The Han army attacked fiercely, but the Wei army was somewhat weak. They hid within the city wall and still suffered heavy losses.
Under such circumstances, Chen Qun felt that his days were like years.
It wasn't until the last ray of sunset disappeared, until the sky and the earth completely darkened, that the Han army's offensive stopped. Amidst the rapid clash of gold and iron, it retreated like a "tide".[
"Ding ding ding."
After the Han army retreated, the bright red blood on the ground, as well as the broken limbs and other tragic scenes were completely exposed. It was simply too horrible to watch.
On the city, in front of the city gate tower, Chen Qun was holding a long sword, with little blood stains on his body. Not long ago, Chen Qun almost died.
A Han soldier broke through the heavy guards and came to him. He raised his sword and wanted to cut Chen Qun down. Fortunately, Chen Qun had practiced swordsmanship and was not a complete weak scholar. He suddenly drew his sword and killed the Han soldier.
Killed.
Otherwise, Chen Qun would have died here.
"Huhuhu." Even though he survived, Chen Qun still felt lingering fear and his heart was beating very hard.
The sound of violent breathing, like the sound of a bellows, kept coming out.
"Sir, are you okay?" A general stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Chen Qun took a deep breath and shook his head.
He said it was okay, but when Chen Qun raised his head, his heart felt tight. Just like below the city, the city was also in a mess.
Corpses piled up like mountains, blood dyed the city walls red, and more importantly, the morale of the soldiers was not high.i^
He is not a strong general, nor is he very eloquent. It is really difficult to boost morale.
At this moment, Chen Qun's desire for reinforcements became even stronger.
"Immediately, send someone to Liangcheng to ask for reinforcements." Chen Qun took a deep breath and ordered.
"My lord, I only lasted for one day." The general was speechless and said after hearing this.
"It will take at least a day or two for the reinforcements to arrive. I'm afraid it will be too late if we can't hold on any longer and ask for reinforcements. Don't worry, don't worry. Go quickly."
Chen Qun insisted.
"promise."
Seeing Chen Qun's insistence, the general had no choice but to agree and go down to deal with it. Soon after, a fast horse left Dongdu and headed for Liangcheng with a request for reinforcements.[
At that moment, Chen Qun's heart truly relaxed. Finally, he could gain some short-term peace.
On this side, Chen Qun was shocked and always felt uneasy. But he didn't know that the Han army also paid an unimaginable price in this battle.
The city is twelve feet high, which is terrifying enough. The Wei army is also very elite. If the Han army attacks such a city, can the casualties be heavy?
When the Han army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp, Fazheng summoned the generals and learned about the situation.
As a result, Fazheng's heart sank. Four to five thousand people died and more than ten thousand were injured. It can be said that this day's fighting caused the Han army's losses to reach one-third.
"Xiao Zhi, with such a fierce attack, even if Liu Bei's reinforcements are received, I'm afraid we won't be able to follow up." Li Yan also took a breath of air and said.
"Exactly, even if you wait for Liu Bei's reinforcements, you can't defeat them. This is completely meaningless." Wang Wei also nodded and said.
After hearing the words, Fazheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Tomorrow we will attack as usual to reduce casualties." At this point, Fazheng raised his head and saw that the morale of the generals was not high. So he smiled and said: "If we attack fiercely today, I'm afraid
Chen Qun has realized the danger and has even sent out men to ask for reinforcements. I believe Liu Bei’s reinforcements will arrive soon. You don’t have to worry.”
"Promise." Seeing that Fa Zheng was so confident, the generals also cheered up and cheered up.
Generally speaking, unlike the Wei army, the Han army moved steadily and planned step by step. After Fazheng and the generals learned about the casualties, they went to the wounded barracks to visit the wounded soldiers.
After returning, we visited the camp together again.
After that, Fazheng and the generals went back to their camps to rest.
The next day, the attack continued.
On the other side, the fast horses sent by Chen Qun were very fast. It only took a little more than one night to reach Liangcheng.
At this moment, three of the four Han army camps outside Liangcheng have been withdrawn, leaving only one company camp in the west, and all 23 armies are stationed together.
The siege of the city was lifted. Therefore, the fast horse entered the city easily and went to look for Guo Jia.
And what is Guo Jia doing at the moment? He is in the governor's house, reading a book.
It's really just reading, holding the bamboo slips in hand, reading with gusto. It's as if there is no war or fighting here, so leisurely.
On the one hand, Guo Jia's "nature" is like this. On the other hand, because everything is still under control, Guo Jia is very relaxed.
"Report to your lord, Lord Chen of the Eastern Capital is requesting reinforcements."
At this moment, a report sounded, breaking Guo Jia's state of mind. Not only did it break his state of mind, it also shocked Guo Jia.
"Requesting reinforcements?" Guo Jia lost his voice.[
It is really hard to imagine that within the tall city wall, there are 30,000 elite soldiers guarding the city, and they would ask for reinforcements so quickly.
"Let that person in." Then, Guo Jia took a deep breath, calmed down the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice.
"promise."
The person who came to report agreed, turned around and walked out. A moment later, the spy who had been ordered to request reinforcements came in.
He reported the situation in Dongdu in detail to Guo Jia.
After hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes sparkled.
"Then Fazheng actually stormed the city?" Guo Jia muttered to himself, and the sparkle in his eyes dimmed.
"I went to ask Liu Shijun to come over and said that I have something important to discuss." Then Guo Jia said.
"promise."
In addition, some soldiers agreed and went to look for Liu Bei.
"Da da da."
Soon after, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei walked in together with the sound of hurried footsteps. After the two parties saluted each other, they sat down.
Afterwards, Guo Jia also explained the situation in Dongdu in detail to Liu Bei and the other three.
"So fast?" Liu Bei and the others were shocked, and their reactions were the same as Guo Jia's just now.
"Chen Changwen has good control, but he doesn't use force." Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said.
"Let's wait until we send out troops, otherwise we will lose the Eastern Capital and everything will suffer." Then Guo Jia said.
"good."
Liu Bei also knew this, so he responded happily.
Soon after, Guo Jia, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others gathered 30,000 elite troops. After nightfall, they fought their way out of Liangcheng and headed for the eastern capital.
