Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 564 558. Targeting
Although Hao Zhao was helped to the stairs, the smell spread incredibly fast, and soon a trace of burning gas entered Hao Zhao's nasal cavity.

"Cough cough... cough cough... ugh..."

After Hao Zhao smelled it, he first coughed violently, and then he began to retch. His body was already extremely weak due to the high fever and severe cold, and he almost died when he suddenly inhaled this gas.

"General Hao! General Hao!"

The guards nearby saw that Hao Zhao was about to faint, and they were so scared that they hurriedly supported Hao Zhao, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Wei Ping and Zhu Shu were on the city wall, and Wang Shuang was resting because of Huang Hun's serious injury, so no one noticed Hao Zhao's situation for a while.

The two guards were so anxious that they kept stamping their feet, but they didn't know whether to take Hao Zhao away or what to do. After all, their mission was to ensure Hao Zhao's safety.

Although the Wei soldiers on the city wall were trying to put out the fire and were very successful, the smell was already there and it was naturally not easy to dissipate.

"vomit……"

Hao Zhao was supported by two guards, lying on the stairs and vomiting on the empty ground below. Hao Zhao felt an indescribable disgusting smell filling his nose, which made him feel sick and wanted to vomit.

If Hao Zhao had studied simple junior high school chemistry, he would know that it is called ammonia, and this smell will appear whenever human urine is heated.

Hao Zhao had not eaten much dinner due to his serious illness, so he vomited it all out at this moment. Hao Zhao even vomited out the acid in his stomach.

"Bodao! Bodao, how are you?!"

After Wei Ping had settled down on the city wall for a while, he took the time to look at Hao Zhao on the staircase platform, only to find that Hao Zhao had vomited all over the place. He was so weak that he would have fallen directly to the ground if not for the support of two guards.

Wei Ping hurriedly took two steps at a time and came to Hao Zhao, looking at him with concern.

"What are you two doing? Why did General Hao become like this?"

Wei Ping's face darkened and he glared at the two guards beside him.

"Wei...General Wei, we...we..."

The two guards were pointed at in the nose by Cao Wei and cursed at, so they could only lower their heads and dare not say a word.

"Huh... Huh... General Wei, there's no need to blame them. It's... it's my poor health. It has nothing to do with them..."

Although Hao Zhao's head was already groggy at the moment, when he heard Wei Ping making things difficult for the two soldiers, he still spoke up to excuse them.

"Hey, Bodao, you should go and rest. Your condition is already very bad, and you are too weak now. Staying here will not help, so go and have a good rest. General Zhu and I are here, and Wang Shuang will be able to defend the city tomorrow."

Wei Ping really couldn't bear to see Hao Zhao continue to force himself to stay here, and just as he said, Hao Zhao's condition was too bad now, so bad that staying here would seem like a burden.

"Okay, okay..."

Hao Zhao nodded weakly. He didn't even have the strength to cough and his legs felt weak.

"Quick, take General Hao back to his residence and let him have a good rest."

Wei Ping waved his hand, and the two guards did not dare to delay and immediately helped Hao Zhao down from the left and right.

The Han army did not care about the situation of the Wei army. The soldiers took out the face masks they carried with them, wet them a little and put them on, then pushed the ladders towards the top of Yique Pass.

"The Han army is coming! Quickly resist the enemy!" Without Hao Zhao's command, the Wei army soldiers became confused again, like headless flies.

"Don't panic, prepare to engage the Han army in close combat. They are outnumbered, hold the city walls!"

Fortunately, Wei Ping was no ordinary man. He commanded calmly and gave the Wei army some order.

The two sides fought for an hour, and each suffered thousands of casualties. However, the Han army failed to capture Yique Pass because of the dark sky and too many Wei troops on the city wall, and had to retreat.

The Wei army had already experienced a great battle during the day, which had depleted their physical strength. Now there was another night battle, which made them even more exhausted both mentally and physically. There was no other way. There were few people at Yique Pass, and it was impossible to take turns to guard the city. If there were too few people, the Han army would really attack.

Except for more than one hundred soldiers who were keeping alert all night, everyone else fell into a deep sleep. They were so tired that they fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the ground.

"kill!"

As a result, after an hour, the Han army started shouting and killing again. Bao Yi and his men had a good sleep at dusk and were now full of energy. They sent another 10,000 people to attack the city.

The result was that many Wei soldiers could not open their eyelids, their bodies were weak, and their hands holding weapons could hardly hold their weapons.

Anyone who has ever stayed up all night knows that when you are extremely tired, if you are woken up immediately after falling asleep, you can still stay awake. But if you wake up after sleeping for two or three hours, you will feel extremely uncomfortable, neither having the awakening of the previous overdrawn body nor the spirit of a thorough rest.

This is the current situation of the Wei army soldiers. Of course, this is also Feng Xi's arrangement.

Although all the Wei soldiers arrived at the top of the city wall, they all looked like they were still asleep. This was not due to their will, but because their bodies could no longer support them and their brains were stuck.

The 10,000 Han troops brought by Bao Yi were naturally the second part of the 20,000 Han troops that Feng Xi had allowed to rest in advance, in order to rotate and rest with the Han troops that had just attacked the city.

As warriors, Wei Ping and Zhu Shu were much better physically than ordinary soldiers, so they were still able to stay mentally clear. However, the performance of other soldiers was poor. Those who shot arrows could not draw their bows and their accuracy was extremely poor; those who used spears were weak and some even had their weapons snatched away by the Han army.

"Cheer up! If you don't cheer up, you will be killed by the Han army!"

Wei Ping shouted loudly, but it was still difficult for these ordinary people to forcibly fight with their brains for control of their bodies. Wei Ping's shouting was really of no help.

There was no other way, Wei Ping and Zhu Shu could only go forward personally and lead the troops to barely stop the Han army's attack.

"Whoosh-!"

"what!"

Zhu Shu was fighting hard on the top of the city wall, but unexpectedly, a hidden arrow shot straight at his neck from below the city wall. Fortunately, Zhu Shu reacted quickly and twisted his arm, so the hidden arrow only shot through his right arm, which was not fatal. However, it also made him temporarily lose his fighting ability.

"Tsk, what a quick reaction."

Bao Yi shook his head regretfully and hung his bow back on the side of his horse. Just after he returned to the camp, a soldier from the Shenwu Camp brought a message from Feng Xi, asking him to focus on killing and wounding the enemy generals. As for Feng Xi himself, he naturally went to bed early to preserve his energy.

"What a pity, I didn't see Hao Zhao. Otherwise, given his condition, this arrow would have killed him."

Bao Yi felt a little sorry, and then continued to command the Han army to attack the city.
