Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 168
Tan Shihuai's smiling expression froze, and gradually became stiff. He looked coldly at Sifu in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What did you say?", Sifu lowered his head, without words, Tan Shihuai Shi Huai got up slowly, walked out of the tent, looked at the city wall in the distance, in the storm, the county town still stood there, motionless!

"Fourth column, attack the city for me!!"

Tan Shihuai gave the order, and Sifu said in horror: "My lord, we have been attacking the city for four hours in a row. The soldiers are extremely tired and their morale is unstable. If we can't take it again, the morale of the army will be lost!", Among the Xianbei army, there were remnants of the collapsed army that had been beaten by Zhang Huan before. These remnants not only could not continue to fight, but also had a bad influence on the rest of the Xianbei people.

But after all, there were more than 2 people, and Tan Shihuai did not let them go, but arranged them at the end. In the successive failures, the high morale that Tan Shihuai had finally gathered gradually slipped, and Xianbei People began to complain, why not directly occupy the Western Regions and attack such a strong county here?
How would they know that if they don't take this county seat, they can use this county seat to cut off all their retreats when the reinforcements from the Han Dynasty come, and they will lose the most important initiative. Winning or leaving is entirely because their battlefield is a wilderness, and they are all cavalry, they can come and go freely!
But if they were blocked by the Han army, how would they fight the Han army?

Sifu and Tan Shihuai understood, but many soldiers may not be able to understand.

Tan Shihuai looked around, the injured soldiers howled miserably, the faces of the Xianbei army were a little sad, or irritable, they were all waiting for Tan Shihuai's order, Tan Shihuai sighed helplessly, closed his eyes, After thinking about it for a while, Duan Xie would take five or six days at the earliest to arrive, and tomorrow at the latest, the city must be captured, destroyed, or occupied to attract Duan Xie's army here.

Then take advantage of the trend to win the Western Regions!

"Let the soldiers rest for a day. Tomorrow, I will personally lead the army to attack the city!!"

Tan Shihuai said coldly, then returned to the tent.

Bao Hong on the city wall watched the enemy gradually recede and laughed wildly, but his voice was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound. He could only see him grinning from ear to ear. They won again. With about [-] miscellaneous troops, let The Xianbei left only a piece of corpse, but they couldn't take anything away. Physicians came to treat the soldiers quickly. Most of the soldiers were staggering, and fell down the moment the enemy retreated.

They are all relying on their last perseverance and persevering hard.

Zheng Xuan also sat on the city wall, leaning on a long sword, panting, disheveled, and didn't care at all. The people ran up the city wall and began to clean the city wall. The dead bodies were piled up again, which made him a little scared, but he had no choice but to give up.

Both sides are resting and recuperating, waiting for tomorrow's battle.

"Ahem. Ahem~~~"

In the middle of the night, among the Xianbei army, there were constant and severe coughing sounds. Several soldiers, leaning back to back weakly, kept coughing, their faces were red, the veins on their foreheads were bulging, and their throats were hoarse due to dry coughing. Covered with bloodshot eyes, breathing with difficulty, they seemed extremely uncomfortable. Everyone just thought they were injured during the battle, and no one paid attention to them.

On the wall of the Han army, Bao Hong sat on the top of the wall with one foot, coughing violently. After coughing for a while, his expression gradually became solemn, and he pushed away the surrounding soldiers suddenly, frowning, and said: "I I want to rest alone for a while, all of you get out of here and go to rest!!" These soldiers got up helplessly, and slowly dispersed towards the surroundings.

Bao Hong kept coughing, hid his head between his arms, and forced himself to rest.

Throughout the night, both parties coughed continuously.

On the second day, Tan Shihuai got up early and walked out of the camp gate slowly. The entire Xianbei camp was a little empty and uninhabited. While eating and eating, Tan Shihuai looked at the tent that seemed unusually silent, and asked, "What's the matter?" Suddenly, the servant stabbed him in the abdomen, and Tan Shihuai suddenly looked down!

That man had no skin, his face was full of flesh and blood, and his empty eyes were staring at him!

Tan Shihuai woke up with a start, opened his eyes, touched his abdomen, and then exhaled. He stood up, and there were bursts of wailing and crying outside the camp. Tan Shihuai felt a little unhappy, and immediately got up and walked out. Outside the tent, many soldiers were crying bitterly. Seeing Tan Shihuai appearing, Sifu hurried forward and shouted: "All dead, my lord, all the brothers who were injured yesterday are dead!!"

"What? How did you die?"

"I don't know, the injury was obviously not fatal, but I couldn't survive the night, and" Sifu turned his head and pointed behind him. Tan Shihuai hurriedly looked over. Among the Xianbei army, many soldiers were in pain. Struggling on the ground, their faces were red, their eyes were swollen and they couldn't open them, their voices were completely hoarse, they couldn't make a sound, they scratched their necks hard, and their tears flowed uncontrollably!

Some were foaming at the mouth, twitching all over, and gradually getting cold!
"We shouldn't have killed Zhang Huan!! This is God's punishment!!" The Xianbei who had been defeated by Zhang Huan earlier shouted with his head in his arms, and Tan Shihuai swung his knife sharply, cutting off the man's head , everyone looked at him in horror, he looked at the many soldiers in front of him, and said coldly: "This is just disobedience, not a punishment from heaven!"

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army, I will definitely kill him!"

Everyone bowed their heads.

Tan Shihuai looked at the struggling soldiers in front of him, sighed, and asked: "How many people are there?" Sifu said sadly: "Nearly ten thousand people are like this."

"Damn it!" Tan Shihuai yelled angrily. What's going on? I'm about to take down this city. Why do all the soldiers fall ill?Does God not want me to revitalize Xianbei?He was extremely angry, gritted his teeth, and said: "The sick stay here and rest, and the rest will attack the city with me. If we can't conquer Guzang County today, I will kill myself in front of the city!!!"

The remaining tens of thousands of Xianbei people slowly got up and each took up their weapons.

On the city wall, Bao Hong opened his red eyes and leaned against the city wall with difficulty. Hearing the painful cries from the Xianbei camp in the distance, he couldn't help laughing. He laughed very happily. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Xu, nodded.

The 4 Xianbei army was first caused by Zhang Huan with nearly 1 casualties, and then more than half of them were killed or injured during the siege, [-] horses were killed or injured. In one night, only [-] Xianbei people were left behind. There are many capable soldiers, the wounded died inexplicably, and the rest were also seriously ill and had no combat effectiveness. Tan Shihuai himself felt a little bit of fear in his heart. What is the situation?
For the Guzang County in front of him, he even resented from the bottom of his heart!
