From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 138 Despicable Act
Four towns were captured in succession, and the situation in the main city of Daming Town was in danger.

Zhuge Liang also returned to the meeting hall of Daming Town. The old man told Zhuge Liang that it would take about seven days for his body to fully recover.

Zhuge Liang didn't know whether it was true or not, so he could only try his luck.

"General," Zhang Zhao said to Zhuge Liang, "The three towns of Xianhe have been breached one after another, and Jiming Town has also been captured by the enemy. The enemy will definitely do their best to capture Yuhuang Town next."

"After Jiming Town is captured, their next goal will definitely be to attack Yuhuang Town, and finally attack Daming Town directly."

Once Yuhuang Town is captured, the enemy will probably not continue to attack the many towns further east, because these towns are too far away from Daming Town and there is no point in doing so. They will not provide any reinforcements to Daming Town either.

As long as these towns are cut off, there will be no troops to reinforce the main city of Daming Town. At that time, the Yu Dynasty only needs to concentrate its firepower to attack the main city of Daming Town.

"I suggest abandoning Yuhuang Town and letting all the soldiers and civilians of Yuhuang Town withdraw to the main city of Dameng Town and defend the main city of Dameng Town with all our strength."

After hearing this, Chen Qun shook his head and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be a waste to give Yuhuang Town to the other party?"

"They use these five towns as their bases, and then they will continue to send troops from the other side of the Yellow River to replenish our forces. By then, we will be slowly dying."

Zhang Zhao said: "There is always a trade-off. If Yuhuang Town is really breached, the death toll will be even greater, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "With Gongsun Zan here, as well as Yu Jin and Gao Shun, Yuhuang Town can be defended."

"If we really want to give up Yuhuang Town, the pressure of defending the main city of Dameng Town will be too great."

"Pass the order and tell them to defend Yuhuang Town at all costs. Only if Yuhuang Town is defended, will the Yu Dynasty be cautious and dare not attack the main city of Dameng Town at will. This can ensure that the main city of Dameng Town will not be in danger."

Since Zhuge Liang had already spoken, no one could refute him and they could only order Yu Jin, Gao Shun and others to continue guarding Yuhuang Town.

……

Yuhuang Zhen, Pan Feng and others have all retreated here and joined Zhong Hui.

Gao Shun and Pan Feng were both seriously injured. After entering Yuhuang Town, doctors came to treat them. Fortunately, their injuries were under control and their lives were not in danger.

Yu Jin ordered his personal soldiers to send Gao Shun and Pan Feng back to the main city of Daming Town so that Gao Shun could have a good rest.

At the same time, orders came from Daming Town, asking Yu Jin to defend Yuhuang Town at all costs.

When Pan Feng and Gao Shun were sent back to the main city of Daming Town, Zhang Zhao discovered that the situation was far more complicated than he had thought.

The opponent's commander actually managed to injure Gao Shun so badly with just one move. Gao Shun was only a sixth-rate general, with about the same fighting power as Guan Ping. Even Gao Shun couldn't withstand one round of the opponent's attack. When Guan Ping learned the news, his face became even paler.

The gap between a sixth-rate general and a fifth-rate general is vividly reflected at this moment!

Zhuge Liang patted Guan Ping on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. That day has not come yet. When my injury is healed, I will be the commander-in-chief."

Guan Ping glanced at Zhuge Liang and didn't say much. If Zhuge Liang was healthy, he would certainly not be afraid of the opposing coach. Everyone was like this before. No matter how powerful the opponent was, no one would feel afraid.

Because they knew that Zhuge Liang would tie up the most difficult opponent, and they only needed to deal with his subordinates.

Moreover, with Zhuge Liang's support, these generals can feel that their martial arts levels have improved, and that feeling is particularly obvious after this battle.

When Guan Ping followed Zhuge Liang to kill Xu Huang's army, he felt that his martial arts skills were higher than usual, but now they have weakened a lot. It was at this time that Guan Ping realized that Zhuge Liang could increase the combat effectiveness of their generals.

But now, General Zhuge's injuries are so serious, and the doctors have said that there is no hope for him to recover his fighting power.

"I hope the general gets better soon." Guan Ping said.

Zhuge Liang nodded: "I'll leave the matter here to you for the time being. Don't be afraid. Withstand the pressure. I will be back as soon as possible."

Guan Ping nodded heavily: "Okay!"

……

Zhuge Liang returned to the small courtyard in the mountains again. The old man was still boiling the herbs. Zhuge Liang was very curious and asked, "Old man, I have always wanted to ask, who are you and why did you save me?"

The old man chuckled and said, "My name is Hua Tuo."

It was actually him? Zhuge Liang looked at Hua Tuo in astonishment.

"As for why I saved you, it's because you have a kind heart. I'm a doctor who helps people. If I don't help a kind person, then I've learned medicine in vain, right?"

If there is anyone in this world whose medical skills are better than his, it is probably only Hua Tuo. Zhuge Liang was extremely excited. At the beginning, he just took the attitude of giving it a try. No matter whether the other party wanted to harm him or really wanted to save him, Zhuge Liang would give it a try.

Even if he wanted to harm himself, Zhuge Liang had no choice. If he lost his military power, there would be no point in him in the future.

Now knowing that the other party was Hua Tuo, Zhuge Liang felt a strong hope in his heart.

He said excitedly: "Mr. Hua, do I really have seven days left to recover?"

Hua Tuo smiled and said, "It's genuine. It's not a serious illness."

This is not a serious illness? Zhuge Liang was completely shocked and hurriedly thanked Hua Tuo, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Hua."

"Why are you being polite? You've taken in so many refugees. You're better than me."

"Practicing medicine cannot save the troubled times. Only a military commander like you can. Waiting for you to unify the troubled times will be the greatest thank you to me."

Zhuge Liang nodded heavily!
……

After Wen Pin's army took a short rest in Jiming Town for a day, they continued to lead all their forces and headed straight for Yuhuang Town.

Guarding Yuhuang Town are Gongsun Zan, Yu Jin, Zhong Hui, and more than 5,000 soldiers. With this kind of military strength and configuration, it can be said that as long as they do not engage in a head-on confrontation with the enemy and go out of the city to fight Wen Pin head-on, they should be able to firmly defend Yuhuang Town.

But unfortunately, an accident happened.

As soon as Wen Pin's army arrived at the city, they pushed hundreds of civilians forward, and their troops advanced forward along with the civilians.

Yu Jin was about to order the arrows to be fired, but when he saw this, he suddenly stopped shooting, gritted his teeth and roared with a red face: "Beast! Despicable and shameless! How dare you use such dirty means!"

Not only Yu Jin was furious, but Gongsun Zan and Zhong Hui were also furious. These people were all from Jiming Town. When Gao Shun and his men were defeated, the people had no way to evacuate. They originally thought that the people had become the dead souls under the enemy's knives, but they didn't know that the enemy did not kill the people of Jiming Town, but used them as human shields!
