Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2545 The Dilemma of the Plains, the Han Dynasty is on the Verge of Collapse
"Report! General Yao Yanzhang has been killed in battle!"

"Report! General Liu Yuan has been killed in battle!"

News kept coming in, but Lian Po remained expressionless.

"Continue the attack!"

"Anyone who dares to show fear or disobey shall be killed without mercy!" Lian Po ordered with a dark face.

They suffered heavy casualties in the night battle!
Does that mean the other person feels better?
At this point, it all comes down to who can hold on the longest!
"Where is the halberd warrior?!"

"Bring my halberdiers up with me too!" Lian Po's face showed a hint of ferocity at this moment.

The Halberdiers, as the signature force personally trained by Lian Po, were also the only trump card and the most combat-effective army in his Hebei army.

He personally selected and trained the personnel of this unit one by one.

However, this force is now being used not only in siege warfare, a war of attrition, but also in night battles, which shows that he is now willing to gamble everything.

After the elite halberdiers joined the ranks, the pressure on Pingyuan City indeed increased significantly.

In the entire Qinghan region, there are only a handful of units that can be considered elite.

Gan Ning's Jinfan Battalion was a naval force, so it was impossible for them to be here at this time.

Moreover, you can't expect a naval force to fight the Jin army after landing, can you?
Elite battalions are not omnipotent.

The White Horse Cavalry, a remnant of Gongsun Zan's forces after his death, came to Liu Bei's side and was reorganized with his support. However, at this time, such troops were naturally part of Liu Bei's main army at the front.

What remained was Chen Dao's guard.

Although the White Feather Army had been almost completely wiped out in the Battle of Jingzhou, Chen Dao had been in Qingzhou for many years. Liu Bei had always lacked an elite guard, so Chen Dao naturally took on this important task. With the almost non-existent remnants of the White Feather Army, it took many years to finally reorganize the White Feather Army.

In addition, small elite troops, such as Guan Yu's swordsmen, also fought alongside Guan Yu at this time.

On the city wall, even Wang Liao, the commander-in-chief, had no choice but to personally join the battle.

The Jin army's offensive was too fierce. Even though he hadn't looked closely, he could roughly estimate that the Jin army's losses would not be less than two thousand men in just half a night.

However, so far, the Jin army has not only made no move to stop its offensive, but has instead continued to escalate it.

However, while Lian Po had the confidence and the right to keep increasing his bets, Wang Liao had already staked everything on the game long before that.

After all, Lian Po had been besieging the city for so many days, and it wasn't his first day attacking Pingyuan! He had already exhausted all his resources in the previous siege battles.

"Report, General, the number of Jin soldiers attacking the city is increasing!"

"If this continues, brothers, we can't hold on for much longer!" Ren Guang reported, limping on one leg.

Just now, he had a fierce battle with Zhang Mao, a Jin general who had climbed the city wall.

Although he managed to kill his opponent, he was also injured by Yuan Lang, who took the opportunity to attack. Fortunately, he was helped by Han Meng, a general of the Hebei army, and was able to barely force his opponent to retreat.

Although Han Meng was brave, he was getting old and no longer as brave as he used to be.

If this had happened more than ten years ago, and the two of them had joined forces, they probably could have tried to keep Yuan Lang here, instead of just forcing him to retreat and letting him escape so easily.

Now, with more and more Jin soldiers climbing the city walls, they are no longer able to drive them off in time.

Judging from past sieges, once the situation escalates to the point where soldiers climbing the walls cannot be driven down in time, the city is not far from falling. "Then what do you plan to do?" Wang Liao cursed angrily.

At this point, it's nothing more than fighting to the death.

"Understood!"

Although Ren Guang's expression changed, he immediately regained his resolve.

Since these people had crossed so many mountains and rivers to come to the north to join Liu Bei, they might as well give their lives to the Han Dynasty.

Restoring the Han Dynasty was their sole belief, from the time of Liu Xiu to the time of Liu Bei.

Therefore, as Wang Liao said, if Pingyuan City were to fall, these people would simply sacrifice their lives for their country.

"Han general, prepare to die!"

Just as the two men were talking, a figure suddenly leaped out from a ladder hanging on the city wall in front of them, brandishing a weapon and thrusting it directly towards Wang Liao.

"damn it!"

Ren Guang cursed under his breath, but immediately stepped in front of him.

Wang Liao wasn't exactly weak, but he certainly didn't have much skill in combat. Therefore, he could only stand in front of him.

However, the general's strength exceeded his expectations.

Even at his peak, he probably couldn't have lasted much longer, let alone now, when he's limping.

In the midst of a battle, this wouldn't be a big deal. After all, in a battle, he would naturally ride a horse. A leg injury, while not completely without impact, would at least have a minor one.

But this is on the city wall, and he is currently fighting on foot. With one leg injured, the impact on his combat strength is self-evident.

Therefore, after only three rounds, he had already fallen unwillingly into the hands of the general.

After killing Ren Guang, Wen Qiong suddenly realized that Wang Liao had taken advantage of the moment to blend into the crowd.

"Where to escape?"

In the darkness of the night, Wen Qiong did not recognize that the man was Wang Liao, but she could vaguely make out that he was dressed as a general, and she chased after him without hesitation.

"Stop him!"

Wang Liao hid among the soldiers, retreating as his gaze grew cold.

Ren Guang is dead, and he is naturally grieving!

After the fall of Jingzhou, they supported each other all the way to Qingbei. Over the years, they have depended on each other, so how could their feelings for each other be anything but strong!

But he was the commander-in-chief of an army!

If he dies, it's not just his problem, it's the problem of the entire army, it's the problem of this city!
If he weren't the commander of this army, he could have simply drawn his sword and fought to the death. Even if he died in battle, he would have no regrets!
He died on the road to avenge his brother, and he died without regret.

He even longed to grab a knife and fight that general to the death!
However, the responsibility he carried told him that he could not do that!
