Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 495: The Three Armies Hear the Command! (Thanks to the codeword tool of the Lord of the Empty City~)

"Pfft!"

This sneak attack hit Dian Wei hard on the back.

Although the armor blocked some of the damage, Gan Ning could still see blood oozing out from the damaged parts of the armor!

I thought this move could cause considerable damage to the other party.

However, I didn't expect that after being hit, the opponent didn't even make a sound and didn't show any stress response!

It’s like tickling the other person!

When Gan Ning was filled with horror, Dian Wei had already turned his horse and swung his halberd, attacking him again with an expressionless face!
As the two horses slowed down, Dian Wei also took another iron halberd from the horse.

The two iron halberds kept smashing towards Gan Ning like arms and fingers!

Although Gan Ning is faster than his opponent, his strength is obviously not as strong as his opponent.

Although most fat people are not flexible, as long as they are not extremely obese, they are very strong!
Only if you have flesh on your body can you have a higher upper limit of strength.

Skinny people usually don't have much strength.

So with the help of his size, Dian Wei gradually suppressed Gan Ning.

However, Dian Wei was also secretly amazed at this moment.

Although he is not very good at fighting on horseback, he is definitely first-rate.

However, the strong and brave man in front of him could fight with him for thirty rounds without showing any flaws. He was indeed not simple!
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the soldiers on the other side also started fighting.

However, before the close combat, following Lu Meng's order, the soldiers in the front row first fired a wave of enhanced rockets.

The exploding flames instantly threw Dian Wei's soldiers into chaos.

Then the soldiers on Lu Meng's side threw another wave of gunpowder cans, which blew up the front row of the enemy and caused them to fall to the ground.

Then Lu Meng's front-row soldiers lit their muskets, and two or three-meter-long columns of fire shot out from the musket tips.

The clothes of the enemy's front-row soldiers were instantly ignited, burning them into charcoal!
Finally, Lu Meng commanded 500 cavalrymen to launch an attack with double-headed guns!
The side of the gun loaded with black powder exploded with a loud bang when it pierced the enemy's shield or armor!

Although its power was not as significant as that of a gunpowder jar, it still left Dian Wei's soldiers badly injured.

The black smoke produced by the explosion also blinded many enemy troops.

Before they could even open their eyes, they suddenly felt a pain in their throat!
The sharp tip of the gun has already pierced through their necks!

Without Dian Wei's command, Dian Wei's 10,000-strong army instantly fell into chaos!
Dian Wei then realized that the enemy general's goal was to delay him and prevent him from commanding the army.

I didn't even think about defeating myself!

Seeing that his own soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Dian Wei no longer had the heart to continue fighting with Gan Ning.

The double iron halberds were so powerful that they pushed Gan Ning away, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat!

Gan Ning took the opportunity to lead his army to attack and captured two to three thousand enemy soldiers!
Dian Wei could only lead less than 4,000 remaining troops to escape back to Anding County.

Gan Ning and Lu Meng did not pursue further, but led the army back with laughter.

Just when Wen Pin and Lu Meng were achieving results, Wei Yan also led an army of 44,000 and arrived at the city of Guzang.

Zhu Jun, who was on the city wall, saw that the enemy had only more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and realized that the reinforcements from Beidi County and Anding County had tied up a lot of enemy forces.

Otherwise, if the enemy directly arrives with an army of 60,000, they will have no chance of winning!
But even so, the enemy's strength is still twice that of ours.

Moreover, after the previous avalanche, the morale of his own side was very low. Even he himself did not have the confidence to hold on.

But Zhu Jun has already decided that as long as the city is intact, people will live; if the city is destroyed, people will die!
I will never take a step back!
With such determination, Zhu Jun regained some confidence and quickly asked Mao Jie beside him:
"Minister Mao, the enemy is at the gates of the city. Do you have a good plan to repel them?"

Mao Jie looked embarrassed and could only reply:
"Our army should just hold its ground and not move out. It is difficult for the enemy to transport food and fodder over the mountains and hills.

“As time goes on, the enemy’s 60,000-man army will inevitably run out of food and grass.

"And we can also take this opportunity to wait for support from Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei."

Zhu Jun's frown did not relax because of Mao Jie's words. Instead, he sighed and said:

“The enemy must also know that they are short of food and fodder, so they will fight quickly and decisively.

“What if they attack before the enemy’s food and supplies run out?
"Also, Dian Wei and Zhang Xiu's armies may not be able to break through the enemy and come to support, so there is no need to count on them."

Although Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei were both very good at fighting, they lacked outstanding counselors to assist them.

The enemy army has even more outstanding talents than their own court, and each of them is top-notch!
Many of them were previously unknown, had no official position, and had no background.

But Lu Bu was able to discover and promote them from among the vast crowd of people...

Zhu Jun felt that maybe it was really God who was helping the other party in the dark to destroy the Han Dynasty's destiny!
Seeing Zhu Jun becoming depressed again, Mao Jie could only say:
“If we really cannot hold the city, we will give up the city, keep our manpower and retreat to Zhangye County, join forces with Xu Huang’s army, and continue to hold the five counties of Xizhou.

"With you here, General, even if the five counties of Xizhou are isolated, we can stabilize people's hearts and prevent them from surrendering directly to the enemy."

After listening to Mao Jie's suggestion, Zhu Jun shook his head slightly:

"We haven't reached that point yet. Even if we have to retreat to Zhangye County, we must consume as much of the enemy's strength as possible here!"

Seeing that Zhu Jun had made up his mind, Mao Jie didn't know what to say.

the other side.

Wei Yan led his army to the city of Guzang. Looking at the tall city walls and the wide moat, he sighed in his heart.

It really is worthy of being the administrative center of the entire Liangzhou. It is also the key point to guard the five counties of Xizhou. It is indeed a strong city!
Fortunately, they used Guo Jia's avalanche strategy to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Otherwise, if the enemy still has 40,000 troops defending the city, it would be difficult to defeat them.

Just when Wei Yan was about to launch a strong attack from the south, a guard suddenly came up to him and said:
"General, Mr. Kuai asked me to tell you that it would be best for you to attack the city from the south, north, and west at the same time, leaving only the east gate unattacked.

“This way, the enemy won’t have to fight to the death because they are completely surrounded.

“But even if we retreat, we can only retreat to the east, and we may even be intercepted by General Wen Pin on the way.

“But if we let Zhu Jun and his men retreat to Zhangye County and join up with Xu Huang and his men.

"It is very likely that the morale of the five counties in Xizhou will be stabilized directly, and they will not surrender to our army easily again."

After hearing what the guard said, Wei Yan suddenly realized something and sighed:

"Zi Rou is so ill, yet she can still come up with such a good plan.

"If I let him die like this, it will be a great fault for this general!

"Three armies, listen up! Launch a powerful attack from the south, north, and west simultaneously!

"You must take this city for me in the shortest possible time!"
