Chapter 224 You Don't Want Such Huge Casualties, Do You?
After the rebels in Yuzhong City were cut off from internal and external traffic, of course they were very panicked and had no choice but to launch a battle to open up channels for internal and external traffic.

They went out of the city to fight five times in three days, and were beaten back by the Han army five times, losing troops and generals, without success.

The Han army did not attack the city, but instead waited for work with ease. Once they turned their offensive, the rebels began to feel uncomfortable.

In addition, on Sun Jian's side, Sun Jian carefully escorted the grain and grass, and went back and forth twice without encountering any threats from the rebels. Therefore, the Han army's grain road and retreat are still safe at present.

And the best news actually came from Dong Zhuo.

To be more precise, this good news was brought by Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun.

Dong Zhuo fought with the rebels composed of Qiang and Huns near Wangyuan. The two sides fought for five or six days, and the outcome was draw.

As a result, on the seventh or eighth day, the rebel reinforcements suddenly arrived.

The arrival of more than 2 reinforcements immediately changed the balance of troops between the enemy and us. The rebels surrounded Dong Zhuo's army overnight. Dong Zhuo led the army to attack several times, but failed to break through the blockade of the rebels. Food was about to run out. up.

At the critical moment, Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun, who were arranged by Liu Bei to be responsible for ensuring the safety of Dong Zhuo's grain road, arrived just in time with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

After observing the situation, Guan Yu immediately decided to lead his troops to attack the rebel blockade, and Xiahou Dun also supported Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was extremely brave, and his soldiers were willing to use their lives. They followed Guan Yu and rushed left and right, maximizing the energy of the cavalry. Finally, Guan Yu stabbed a leader of the Qiang tribe to death with a spear at the right time, and finally broke the blockade.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and led the besieged and restless Han army to meet Guan Yu. Dong Zhuo's troops and Guan Yu's troops, who were desperate for survival, joined forces and finally broke out of the encirclement.

When the rebel army saw the Han army coming to help, they thought it was the main force of the Han army who came to support them. The whole army retreated in shock, and fled Wangyuan in the chaos. After staying too long, he fled directly to his lair in Longxi County.

With the rise of Guan Yu and Xiahou Dunsha, they led the troops to pursue the rebels for ten miles, and made great achievements and made military achievements.

Faced with such a brave action, Dong Zhuo admired Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun's bravery very much, and then took the initiative to write a letter to Zhang Wen to express their merits for Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun.

Zhang Wen was overjoyed when he learned about it, and wrote down a solid record of military exploits for Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun.

Of course, at this time, the news of Liu Bei's subordinates was also sent to Zhang Wen, and Zhang Wen learned that such a dangerous thing happened on the front line of Yuzhong, and Liu Bei committed the danger himself, leading [-] troops to bear [-] rebels. The attack cut off the supply line of the rebel army, which directly reversed the situation of the battle and allowed Zhou Shen, who was about to withdraw his troops, to maintain the battle situation.

Now, Liu Bei is still fighting the rebels on the front line. It is said that there is a lot of danger, and Dong Huang, the general beside him, has been injured and retired to recuperate.

Zhang Wen was frightened out of his wits in an instant, thinking of his tragic ending if something happened to Liu Bei, he immediately sent a reserve team to Yuzhong County to meet Liu Bei.

Fortunately, when the [-] reinforcements he sent arrived in Yuzhong County, Liu Bei was still fighting, and there was no major problem, but the Yuzhong rebels had already been shaken.

After five defeats in three days, some conflicts broke out among the rebels in Yuzhong City. There were some sounds of weapons clashing in the night, and the order in the city began to be unmaintainable. This indicated that the rebels could no longer hold on.

Zhou Shen was very happy and continued to besiege the city.

Throughout the second day, the rebels attacked the Han defense line seven times in an attempt to break through the siege, but Zhou Shen personally led the troops to stop them. The Han army fired all arrows, and the rebels could not even raise their heads. All seven operations failed. , cannot break through.

As a result, the rebels in the city became more manic and sent troops out of the city to attack the Han army's defense line. However, in addition to the loss of troops, the lethality against the Han army who was waiting for work was always very limited.

But when things got to this point, Zhou Shen also felt at ease. He led the Han army to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, insisted on defending, refused to take the initiative to attack, and waited for the rebels to attack on their own initiative. of troops.

After the reinforcements sent by Zhang Wen arrived in Yuzhong City, the rebels in the city completely collapsed.

Han Sui and Bian Zhang couldn't bear it and could not persist, so they sent messengers to negotiate with Zhou Shen, hoping that they could surrender the city and surrender, just to survive, otherwise they would stick to defending the city and die together.

Presumably the Han army also didn't want to see a city that was destroyed without surrender until the end, right?

You don't want to suffer so many casualties, do you?
Then Han Sui and Bian Zhang's fantasies were slapped on the ground by Zhou Shen, smashing them to pieces.

Will I care about the life and death of these big soldiers?

Do I care about the life and death of the people in the city and the survival of the city?

What does it matter to me whether they die or not?Will the imperial court reward me for the few soldiers under my command who died in battle?
What I want is not the number of casualties, what I want is the result!is the result! !

I want you to die! ! !
Before the rebel army's surprise attack on Liangdao almost made Zhou Shen lose his previous efforts and bear a heavy responsibility. He had long hated Han Sui and Bian Zhang to death, and wished they could pull their tendons and skin them. How could he care about such things?
So he did not accept the surrender of Han Sui and Bian Zhang. He wanted to watch Han Sui and Bian Zhang fall, even if he paid huge casualties of the same scale as his own.

It doesn't matter, he doesn't care how much the Han army dies, and he doesn't care how many people in the city die. As long as he wins the victory and the military merits, he can be promoted, promoted and rich, and honor his ancestors.

As for the death of the soldiers under his command, is it very important?

Compassion does not command soldiers is not nonsense.

Han Sui and Bian Zhang saw that their last hope was shattered, so they were determined to die with the Han army, so they declared to the rebels in the city that the Han army wanted their lives. If they wanted to survive, they would fight to the end and never surrender. , Fight for your life!

To be honest, the rebel soldiers really wanted to survive, but the problem was that they had no more physical strength after being cut off from supplies.

Everyone wants to survive, everyone wants to break through, and everyone needs to eat to gain strength, so the order in the city can't be maintained soon, and fierce civil strife broke out. .

They fought with themselves first, blood flowed in a mess, and then grabbed the food from the hands of the dead and ate it themselves, so as to replenish their physical strength and strive to survive to the end.

There is no such thing as a friendship between them. At this time, it is impossible for them to think about cooperating with each other to survive together.

In the end, the rebels in the city went out on a large scale to fight the Han army to the death. The Han army was ready, and a large number of bows and arrows rained down on the heads of the rebels. An unprecedentedly fierce annihilation battle began.

Zhou Shen didn't care about the casualties of the Han army at all, so watching the frontline Han army and the frontline rebels fighting each other and dying row after row, Zhou Shen felt nothing in his heart. The strong pleasure that I am about to obtain a major military exploit.

He was really happy, very happy.

For this day, he felt that everything he had paid before was worth it.

On the other hand, Zhou Shen intercepted 5000 of the 5000 troops who arrived in Yuzhong County to meet Liu Bei to wipe out the rebels in the city, and the remaining [-] rushed to support Liu Bei.

When these 5000 people arrived at the flesh and blood battlefield where Liu Bei was, the Han army led by Liu Bei burst into cheers.

They didn't know that the annihilation operation in Yuzhong City was going on, they just felt that reinforcements came from the rear, which meant they had won.

Liu Bei doesn't know whether the battle in Yuzhong City has been won, but this is not important, the important thing is to boost morale.

He immediately sent someone to announce to the soldiers that the Yuzhong battle had been won, the army had won, and the Yuzhong rebels had been wiped out, so General Zhou sent people to support them!

Brothers, follow me and kill all the rebels in front of us!

So the Han army, which had been suppressed and beaten for more than ten days, finally broke out in full force. Under Liu Bei's call, it broke out with all its strength. The soldiers shouted excitedly and ran crazily, as if they were full of inexhaustible strength. .
