From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 143 The Battle to Break the City
Guan Ping looked at Zhang Zhao with some confusion and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Zhao was silent for a moment before he said, "General Guan, we lost more than a thousand men this time, and there aren't many soldiers left. Our forces will be exhausted in three days, and we can only recruit new soldiers on the fourth day."

"So... you have to hold on for these three days and try to prevent as few deaths as possible."

Zhang Zhao knew that this was too difficult for Guan Ping. He had already reached the limit of what he could do. How to keep the number of soldiers who died to a minimum was not something Guan Ping could decide.

But there was no other way. Although Zhang Zhao knew that this would put Guan Ping in a difficult position, he had to let Guan Ping do this. If Guan Ping could not hold on for these three days, Daming Town would most likely be flattened by the enemy.

Guan Ping thought for a while and said to Zhang Zhao, "Okay! I will hold on for a few days."

"only……"

Guan Ping paused and said to Zhang Zhao, "Let all the militiamen come out."

Daming Town still has 5,000 reserve troops, but these troops are actually just civilians and have no combat effectiveness.

But if we continue to let elite soldiers sacrifice like this, sooner or later they will be exhausted.

This is also a last resort. Although it will cause criticism from the people, if they lose their homes, how long can the people live?

Zhang Zhao nodded: "I will try my best to mobilize the people. Don't worry, I will definitely send this part of the troops to you."

"General Guan, eat something. There may be more fighting tonight."

Now the initiative lies with the opponent, who can choose to attack the city at any time, and all Daming Town can do is passively defend.

No one knows when the enemy will send troops to attack, so every soldier in Daming Town is exhausted. They cannot rest well because the battle can start at any time. This is a huge test for the soldiers of Daming Town.

But Wen Pin's army is different. After all, the initiative is in their hands. Wen Pin can choose to attack at any time, or he can choose to let his soldiers have a good rest at any time.

At noon tonight, Wen Pin's army quietly climbed up the city. Fortunately, there were patrolling soldiers in Dameng Town, so they shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Boom boom boom!
The violent drumbeats woke up all the sleeping soldiers, and then everyone joined the defensive battle.

However, Wen Pin's attack was just a test. After all the soldiers in Daming Town joined the battle, Wen Pin's army quickly withdrew.

That's what happened almost all night.

Wen Pin would always dispatch a part of the troops to attack the city. These troops were not many, but every siege required everyone in Daming Town to give their all.

I always feel so tense and can't get a good rest.

Guan Ping had no choice but to find Zhang Zhao. He said, "Mr. Zhang, this is not a solution."

"The enemy is just feinting every time, but we have to devote all our energy to defense. The soldiers haven't slept all night. If the enemy really starts to attack the next day, how can we have the strength to fight them?"

Of course Zhang Zhao was aware of this situation, but if he did not defend hard, once the enemy came for real, he would lose countless troops.

"so."

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said, "Let some of the troops take a good rest first, and let the other part be responsible for defense."

"If the enemy attacks for real, immediately wake up the other troops. If it's just a feint, there's no need to make a big fuss."

Guan Ping nodded. This was the only way for now.

"Wang Da, find some time tonight to leave the city and tell General Zhuge about the situation here."

"Here!"

……

This night was truly exhausting for the soldiers of Daming Town both physically and mentally.

Early the next morning, all the soldiers were still taking turns to sleep, and these generals also needed to take turns to sleep.

Everyone became very depressed.

Wen Pin immediately started a new round of attack. More than 2,000 vanguards, accompanied by more than 500 veterans, began to climb towards the top of Dameng Town. Countless arrows were shot at the top of Dameng Town from behind.

The soldiers of Daming Town not only had to prevent the enemy's vanguard troops from climbing up the city wall, but also had to prevent themselves from being shot by arrows from the sky.

Coupled with the constant harassment last night, the number of casualties this time is even greater.

Fortunately, a new batch of militiamen joined in, and the highest number of casualties were among those recruits.

Wen Pin sneered and said, "It seems that the enemy has seen through our human wave tactics, and they have also mobilized the people to defend."

This time, the enemy suffered significantly more casualties.

"retreat."

Wang Yu was a little confused, so he asked Wen Pin, "General Wen, why do you sometimes attack and sometimes give up like this? What is your intention?"

"Why not just attack directly?"

Wen Pin shook his head and said, "If we attack directly, both sides will fight hard. We are attacking the city, and they are defending their homeland. The morale of the other side will definitely be much stronger than ours."

"This will only make our military losses faster."

"I am wearing down their stamina. With such erratic attacks, they will eventually get tired of dealing with it. I will strike back with all my might after their morale is depleted."

Wang Yu understood, and then said: "Good plan!"

……

the other side.

Zhuge Liang was still receiving treatment, but he was still a little absent-minded. He had no idea what was going on in Dameng Town. He still had eight days to recover, and after that he would have to upgrade...

If Daming Town cannot withstand the pressure in the next few days, what should it do?

Just when Zhuge Liang was daydreaming, Wang Da arrived. Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked, "How is it? What's the situation in Daming Town?"

Wang Dadao: "The situation is not optimistic. Our troops have been severely depleted. Mr. Zhang has already mobilized the militia last night."

"The enemy was feinting all night, and the soldiers couldn't rest."

"General Guan asked me to tell you about the situation over there."

Zhuge Liang was silent, and asked, "Did the God of Zhang Xiangai tell us how long Dameng Town can last?"

Wang Da shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang didn't say anything, but judging from the sad face he has, he should not be optimistic about this battle."

Zhuge Liang hummed, and said to Wang Dadao: "You go back first and ask the lord to upgrade the barracks first."

"There are still eight days left. Tell Guan Ping and Zhang Zhao to hold on for eight days no matter what!"

Wang Da nodded and said, "Okay!"

Now all the hopes of Daming Town rest on Zhuge Liang. It will soon be known whether Daming Town can withstand this attack and who will be the overlord of the Central Plains.

Wang Da said to Zhuge Liang: "General, take good care of yourself and don't think too much. We will definitely wait for you to come back."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Okay!"

After Wang Da finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Zhuge Liang stopped him and said, "You won't be back until tonight."

The other side must have deployed a lot of troops during the day, so it is not safe for Wang Da to go back.

"Thank you General!"
