Wu Jun seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on him, and suddenly he came to his senses. Almost all of the soldiers he brought had a genocide against Liu Zhang. He also assassinated Liu Zhang several times and almost killed Liu Zhang, plus Qu Lingchen.
How could Liu Zhang tolerate himself?
"Chief, have you thought about it?" Qu Lingchen's voice came from below the city.
Before Wu Jun could say anything, Zhou Ce had already taken out his bow and arrow. Before Wu Jun could stop him, a sharp arrow shot out, "Witch, don't try to deceive the hearts of our troops. Our troops will fight the Sichuan barbarians to the bitter end."
With a "swish" sound, a sharp arrow was shot at Qu Lingchen. Because of the long distance, Qu Lingchen easily avoided it and shook his head slightly. Qu Lingchen sighed and said to Wu Jun: "In this case, the leader takes care of it."
Wu Jun saw Qu Lingchen galloping back to the formation, and became anxious for a moment, and said to Zhou Ce: "Mr. Zhou, you..." Even if the hope of surrendering and surviving was shattered, Wu Jun didn't want to just drive Qu Lingchen away, maybe he could delay it
What about a moment and a half?
"We'll talk about it later, the Sichuan army is about to attack the city." Zhou Ce said with a smile as if nothing had happened.
…
"How about it?"
Qu Lingchen returned to his side, Liu Zhang opened his eyes and asked Qu Lingchen, Qu Lingchen shook his head, the expression on his face already told Liu Zhang the answer.
Huang Yueying ordered the siege. Sichuan soldiers rushed towards Hanliang City with various siege equipment. Liu Zhang took Qu Lingchen's hand and said, "Are you unhappy?"
Qu Lingchen leaned half in Liu Zhang's arms and said softly: "No, I went to persuade them to surrender just because I had an old relationship with them. Since they are unwilling to surrender, I have done my best.
If it were the Wu Jun of the past, even if I hated my husband to the core, I would have thought of saving him from death, but now, Wu Jun has changed beyond recognition, and I just saw him being beaten up."
Qu Lingchen remembered that he had seen Wu Jun and Feng Ziyin together at Hangu Pass. Now that he was treating Feng Ziyin like this, the only old feelings in his heart were diluted by Wu Jun, and he felt much calmer.
"I hope Wu Jun can think of his old self in his last moments." Qu Lingchen leaned into Liu Zhang's arms and said.
Huang Yueying walked towards Liu Zhang, Qu Lingchen stepped aside, Huang Yueying said: "I knew Wu Jun would not surrender. For this kind of person, you can see from Wu Jun's rise that it is too difficult. His ambition is too big, so difficult.
How can people like Wu Jun not firmly grasp the power that has been established, and how can they surrender so easily?"
Liu Zhang said with a straight face: "You know? Then why didn't you tell Ling Chen and make her trip in vain?"
Huang Yueying turned to look at Liu Zhang's face. A teasing smile appeared on Fen Jie's face: "My lord won't tell me that my lord doesn't know, right?"
Liu Zhang was speechless for a moment. Of course Liu Zhang knew that Wu Jun would not surrender. It would be useless for anyone to surrender now. People like Wu Jun would judge others with their own hearts. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would never surrender.
Put your life in the hands of others.
The hope of the Huns army has not been completely dashed yet.
Huang Yueying said: "My lord doesn't want to let Wu Jun go. It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to let Ling Chen and Wu Jun break up. This will not only reassure his wife, but the enemy will still have to die. The best of both worlds."
If I had said that Wu Jun would not surrender, and waited until Wu Jun was cornered before letting Miss Qu go, the lord would probably resent Yueying, right? The lord got a big advantage and still pretended to be stupid. It seemed that I, Huang Yueying, was the only bad guy. It was a bit too much.
ah."
Liu Zhang took the tea cup in front of him to relieve his embarrassment and said to Huang Yueying: "Yueying. Wu Jun's only reliance now is to wait for the Xianbei army to arrive.
Wu Jun's military advisor Zhou Ce was a talented man, and his troops were already stretched thin. Instead of retreating into the city, he sent out ten cavalry troops, each with 500 men, to coordinate with Hanliang City, adding a lot to our siege.
trouble.
We need to deal with these troops first."
Huang Yueying knew that Liu Zhang was covering up the topic and did not expose it, so she said: "If there is really a Xianbei army and a Di Ren army coming to rescue them, Zhou Ce's move is indeed brilliant.
However, if no reinforcements arrive, these small troops will be eaten up by our horse archers and Dawan cavalry within a few days, and Waliang City will surely fall by then.
Wu Jun has actually reached a dead end, but he just doesn’t know it.”
One day after the Sichuan army attacked the city, the defense of Hanliang City was hit hard again. With the support of the cavalry outside, the city was barely able to be saved. As soon as he arrived at the room, Wu Jun asked Zhou Ce, "Mr. Zhou, why did you shoot arrows to drive away Ling Chen today?"
, maybe she can buy us some time."
Why did Wu Jun feel that Zhou Ce wanted to fight Liu Zhang to the end? This was illogical. Zhou Ce was just his own military advisor and had no deep grudge against the Sichuan army. Why did he not want to surrender so much?
"General, why do we need others to buy time for us?" Zhou Ce said confidently: "With the cavalry I sent out, it will take some time for the Sichuan army to capture Hanliang City.
I have already made calculations, and I will definitely be able to hold on until the Xianbei army and the Di army arrive. When the grassland army arrives, the Sichuan army will definitely be defeated."
"What if I can't wait?"
Although Cao Zhang had told Wu Jun that the grassland army would come to rescue him, as Huang Yueying expected, Wu Jun had a bumpy journey to get this foundation. His ambition and ability did not match, so he cherished this foundation very much.
Wu Jun was unwilling to hand over his life to the Sichuan Army, and he was equally unwilling to hand over his fate to the Xianbei Army and the Di Ren Army, which always made him feel insecure.
"General, don't worry, there will be enough time. If not." Zhou Ce bowed solemnly to Wu Jun: "Zhou Ce is willing to live and die with the general."
Wu Jun looked at Zhou Ce who was bending down to worship, and was suddenly moved. This is a loyal minister. Now he finally understood why Zhou Ce shot an arrow to drive away Qu Lingchen.
That's because Zhou Ce is determined to be loyal to him and die with him. Such a loyal minister is really rare. Wu Jun helped Zhou Ce up and said: "Sir, I, Wu Jun, once again swear to God that I, sir, will share the same adversity with me.
I will prosper together with my husband."
"Thank you, General, for your kindness." Zhou Ce bowed gratefully.
Two days later at dusk, Zhou Ce was about to inspect the city defenses when suddenly a fast horse came from the east and was about to enter Wu Jun's general mansion.
"Stand down, what do you want to report?" Zhou Ce stopped the soldier.
When the soldiers saw that it was Zhou Yu, they immediately dismounted and came forward: "Military advisor, something bad happened. The Di army suddenly turned back and attacked the rear of the Xianbei army and the Wuhuan army. The Xianbei army and the Wuhuan army have retreated. We... have no reinforcements."
"What?" Even though Zhou Ce was determined, he was shocked when he heard the news. In order to ensure that the reinforcements were reliable and allow the Huns to hold on with peace of mind, Cao Jun had already said that Zhe Lanying was Cao Cao's daughter.
Zhou Ce really couldn't understand why, as his daughter, Zhe Lanying betrayed Cao Cao over and over again. The previous time could be said to be for self-protection, but for what purpose this time?
But Zhou Ce no longer thought so much and said to the soldier: "You have been tired for a few days. Go down and rest first. I will inform the general."
"Yes." The soldier loudly retreated.
Zhou Ce glanced at the north and finally made up his mind. Instead of going to Wu Jun's residence, he went directly to Feng Ziyin's place.
Feng Ziyin didn't go out to fight for the past two days, shutting herself in the door and crying. After two days, her already miserable face, coupled with decadence and tears, had become terrifying.
"Miss Feng, Zhou Ce is taking the liberty. In fact, Zhou Ce has liked the girl for a long time, just because she has always been in love with her..." Zhou Ce walked into the door and said seriously to Feng Ziyin.
…
In the early morning of the next day, the Sichuan army once again routinely attacked the city. According to original estimates, it would take two or three days to capture the city. Moreover, within these two or three days, the Dawan cavalry and horse archers would be used to destroy the Xiongnu cavalry cruising outside.
Capture Hanliang City in one fell swoop.
However, after the first attack, the Xiongnu army's defense was full of loopholes and was defeated by the Sichuan army in one fell swoop. Huang Yueying thought there was a conspiracy at first and ordered the soldiers to divide into several groups and slowly enter the city. However, it was later discovered that there were inexplicably fewer defenders in the city.
"My lord, it's not good. I'm afraid Wu Jun ran away." Huang Yueying and Liu Zhang entered the city. Huang Yueying looked at such a sparse force and could only tell what she was guessing.
"It's weird if he can run away. Once Wu Jun leaves, the soldiers in the city will have no fighting spirit. They can definitely capture it quickly. It won't be too late to pursue him when the time comes."
If Wu Jun escaped, he could only escape through the north gate. Liu Zhang ordered the infantry to take over the city defense, and the cavalry quickly broke through to the north city. However, after the attack, it was discovered that the Huns had not completely lost their fighting spirit and were still holding on. In other words, Wu Jun should
Still in the city, otherwise these soldiers would not have the courage to hold on.
…
"General, General, it's bad, something bad has happened." A soldier rushed into Wu Jun's room. Wu Jun had not slept all night and was worried about the war. He sent a soldier to find Zhou Ce to ask about the situation of the war.
The soldiers and Zhou Ce who were sent out did not come, but soldiers rushed in first to report the news.
"Why are you so nervous?" Wu Jun asked coldly.
"The Sichuan Army has entered the city, General, the Sichuan Army has entered the city." The soldier said in fear.
"How is it possible? How could the Sichuan army enter the city so quickly? You are talking nonsense." As soon as Wu Jung finished scolding, a group of generals rushed in, almost all of them direct descendants of Wu Jun.
"Lord."
"Have the Sichuan Army really entered the city?" Wu Jun immediately grabbed a general and shouted loudly.
"Lord." The general said with an angry face: "The Sichuan army has really entered the city. The last general has just received a secret report from the guards in the North City. Last night, that bastard Zhou Ce and that slut Feng Ziyin falsely conveyed the order from the lord, saying that they were leading the army out of the city.
I attacked the Sichuan Army secretly, but never returned. It was only when the Sichuan Army came in today that I realized they had been fooled, and now we old brothers are the only ones left in the city."
"The adulterer and adulteress probably escaped."
"hateful."
The generals were talking one after another. Wu Jun's face turned pale and he murmured: "It's impossible. It's impossible for Zhou Ce to betray me. Even Feng Ziyin, who raised troops from Jiangzhou with me, can't betray me. It's impossible. This is absolutely impossible."
possible.
You hurry up and organize a defense to block the Sichuan army. It only takes two days. It only takes two days for the reinforcements to arrive, so hurry up."
