From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 135: Guarding the Main City

Zhuge Liang is very anxious now. He is not sure whether his martial arts can be restored.

The last time he killed Xu Huang, his experience points and skill points increased dramatically. As long as his martial arts skills are restored, he will be able to be promoted to a fifth-rate general soon.

Only then will a counterattack be possible.

But he could not do anything at the moment and could only watch as the Yu Dynasty's large army continued to invade other towns.

……

After taking Buzhou Town, Wang Yu and Wen Pin immediately ordered Gan Ning to attack Changsheng Town with 3,000 troops.

After the two sides met, the Yu Dynasty's large army immediately launched a massive attack.

But they never expected that this siege would be so difficult.

Although there was only one commander guarding the town, Changsheng Town was as solid as a rock and could not be breached at all.

After trying this repeatedly for a whole morning, the enemy's casualties were only a handful, but Yu Chao's vanguard troops were almost all killed.

When the news reached Wen Pin, he immediately ordered Gan Ning to stop attacking the city and asked him to take 3,000 troops to bypass Changsheng Town and head straight to Xianhe Town.

Wen Pin knew very well that there was a military general who was extremely good at defense in Changsheng Town, and continuing to waste troops here would be equivalent to wasting time.

Instead of doing this, he might as well skip Changsheng Town and attack Xianhe Town directly, and lead his troops to launch a feint attack here to deny Changsheng Town a chance to receive reinforcements.

Gan Ning and Le Jin led 3,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Xianhe Town.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but still failed to capture the city.

The battle situation fell into a stage of continuous stalemate.

After five days, almost all the troops in Xianhe Town had been exhausted. Yu Jin and Gao Shun were unable to hold on to Xianhe Town. Seeing that the town was about to be captured, they immediately took the people back to the main city of Daming Town.

Xianhe Town was captured on the sixth day.

When the news reached Zhuge Liang, he immediately realized that the situation was not good. He said to Guan Ping: "Next, they attack Jiming Town, and let General Yu go to assist General Pan in defending."

"General Gao, you must lead your troops to evacuate the people in Changsheng Town as quickly as possible."

Gao Shun said in astonishment: "General Zhuge, the enemy's main force is all in Buzhou Town. Buzhou Town and Changsheng Town are only 20 miles apart. It is too dangerous to relocate the people like this."

"Once they find out that we are evacuating the civilians, their cavalry will be able to catch up with us immediately. At that time, should we sacrifice the soldiers or the civilians?"

Zhuge Liang said: "If we don't rescue them, the enemy's main force will soon launch a siege on Changsheng Town. Changsheng Town is now an isolated city, and General Gongsun will not be able to hold on for long."

"Once the city is broken, there is no hope at all!"

Zhang Zhao also nodded and said, "General Zhuge is right. The best way now is to take advantage of the fact that they are dividing their forces to attack Jiming Town and immediately send troops there to transfer all the people in Changsheng Town out."

Changsheng Town is sandwiched between Buzhou and Xianhe Town. If the people and troops are not evacuated immediately, once the other party's foundation is consolidated, it will be impossible to evacuate the people and troops at that time.

Not only will Gongsun Zan die in Changsheng Town, but all the people in Changsheng Town will probably die there.

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Okay! I'll be there right away!"

Zhuge Liang hummed and said, "Tell General Gongsun to be in charge of the transfer. You take 300 cavalrymen to raid the enemy's main force and let them chase you. This will buy time for General Gongsun."

Gao Shun was good at surprise attacks, and he had trained his own cavalry, which was highly mobile. As long as Gao Shun led this cavalry to harass the enemy's main force, Gongsun Zan might be able to escape with the people.

After receiving the order, Gao Shun led the Xianzhen Camp towards Changsheng Town as quickly as possible.

Guan Ping clasped his fists and said, "General, what should I do?"

Now that Zhuge Liang is in charge of Daming Town, Guan Ping can no longer stay here feeling depressed and watch his comrades fighting desperately on the front line.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "The main city is the most important. You just need to guard the main city well."

"it is good!"

Zhuge Liang sighed, and his expression gradually became serious. He was not sure whether he could recover his strength. If he couldn't, Daming Town would be in real danger this time.

Although these arrangements can temporarily resist the offensive of the Yu Dynasty, sooner or later the Yu Dynasty will continue to attack. If it can't hold on by then, Daming Town will completely lose the qualification to compete for hegemony.

It would take about ten days for him to know whether the old man could cure him.

After arranging everything, Zhuge Liang left the main city of Daming Town again.

At the same time, Gao Shun's 300-man trap camp had already begun charging towards Wen Pin's main force.

"Want to make a sneak attack?"

Wen Pin immediately dispatched two thousand soldiers to destroy the army of three hundred men.

Now his main force in Buzhou Town only has one thousand people, two thousand people will pursue Gao Shun's trap camp, and three thousand people will attack Xianhe Town.

This main force of one thousand people is guarding Buzhou Town, which is their base for entering the Dameng Dynasty and cannot be lost, so Wen Pin will definitely not move around at will.

After Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp and the two thousand troops led by Cheng Yu joined forces, the highly mobile Xianzhen Camp launched a fierce penetration charge.

Although the enemy had more troops than Gao Shun, the mobility of the Xianzhen Camp was too strong. After a charge, they killed hundreds of the enemy and then left in a swagger.

Just as Cheng Yu was about to return to defense, Gao Shun began to harass Cheng Yu again.

Cheng Yu was in a dilemma as to whether to fight or not to fight, and was fed up with being harassed by Gao Shun, so he ordered the army to pursue Gao Shun.

Taking advantage of this time, Gongsun Zan began to organize the people to retreat from Changsheng Town.

When Wen Pin learned the news, he immediately sent an army of a thousand men to hunt down Gongsun Zan.

Li Su hurriedly said to Wen Pin: "General Wen, no!"

"This may not be a trick by the other party to lure the tiger away from the mountain. They transferred the troops in Changsheng Town right under our noses, and asked people to lure our other troops out of the city. If the last bit of troops also go out, they will concentrate their forces to attack Buzhou Town, and we will hand over the city that we have conquered with great difficulty."

"At that time, we will not have a stable base in Dameng Town, and it will be difficult for the army to get food. It will really be a loss!"

Wen Pin said: "They are clearly moving the people right under our noses!"

Li Su shook his head and said, "I know this is an open conspiracy, but we can't take the risk. If the people and the garrison commander of this town escape, then they will escape. We can at least occupy another city, right? We are not at a disadvantage."

"But if we really take the risk and fall into their trap, the consequences will be disastrous! Why do we need to do this meaningless thing? At worst, we can just let their people and the garrison go."
