From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 171: Enraged Wu Dynasty

The main city of the Wu Dynasty was more than 300 miles away from the border. After Zhuge Jin defected, all the internal affairs and national development responsibilities of the Wu Dynasty were handed over to the strategist Kuai Yue.

But Kuai Yue's ability was far inferior to Zhuge Jin's. Before this, he had been an assistant to Zhuge Jin, helping Zhuge Jin to find and fill in the gaps. If he were really asked to coordinate and govern the country on his own, his ability would be really not enough.

The country's internal governance is now in chaos, and Kuai Yue still cannot come up with an effective suggestion. He can only ask military generals and soldiers from all over the country to strengthen their defenses.

There was no improvement in domestic affairs and the economy had become sluggish and backward. Wu Yingxiong saw it and was anxious. It was not until now that he realized how much loss Zhuge Jin's departure had caused to the Wu Dynasty.

When Zhuge Jin was here before, he didn't think Zhuge Jin was of any use. It was only after Zhuge Jin left that he realized how much help Zhuge Jin had brought to the Wu Dynasty.

"Lord."

A soldier came to the meeting room and said to Wu Yingxiong with a serious face: "Something happened on the border. Shihu Town and Huangsu Town were taken by the Dameng Dynasty in less than an hour. General Wu Anguo died in the battle."

Upon hearing the news, Wu Yingxiong was shocked and Xiahou Yuan was also stunned.

A city was captured in just one hour. No, less than one hour. How was this possible?

At the beginning, they attacked the border of Daming Town with a force of nearly 70,000, but failed to capture the opponent's town for three whole days. Now you tell me that Daming Town took down two border towns in just one hour, and also killed Wu Anguo!

At the very least, Wu Anguo was only a sixth-rate general. Even with him guarding the city, they were taken down so quickly. What went wrong?
Xiahou Yuan asked in surprise: "Why? How was Shihu Town destroyed?"

Wu Yingxiong also wanted to know why the city was captured so quickly?
The personal soldiers told them that the city gates were opened by the people on their own initiative... Upon hearing this news, Xiahou Yuan and Wu Yingxiong looked at each other in surprise.

That’s not all. The two border cities had a total of 15,000 troops, and they were lost in vain. Now their total strength is only about 50,000.

Zhuge Jin said that he suggested giving the border towns directly to the Dameng Dynasty and focusing on developing the inner city.

But Wu Yingxiong did not listen to Zhuge Jin. Now, not only did he fail to save the border town, but he also lost more than 15,000 soldiers. It can be said that the loss outweighed the gain.

Wu Yingxiong looked at Xiahou Yuan and asked desperately, "General Xiahou, what should we do?"

Xiahou Yuan said to Wu Yingxiong: "My lord, don't panic. These are just two border towns. I will transfer General Mi Fang and General Feng Xi to Pingyun Town. It will not be easy for them to make further progress!"

"They will never be able to take Pingyun Town!"

Hearing Xiahou Yuan's confidence, Wu Yingxiong felt a little relieved.

……

Pingyun Town is only a hundred miles away from the main city of the Wu Dynasty. It is guarded by two generals, Mi Fang and Feng Xi, with 15,000 soldiers. The people in the city are also controlled to prevent them from colluding with outside forces.

If the first two towns were easy to attack, this one will be very difficult.

It is definitely not easy to bite it off bit by bit relying on hard power.

At the foot of Pingyun Town, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao looked at the towering city walls and their faces became serious. They all knew that there would be a bloody battle if they wanted to take over these two towns.

Their current military strength is only 20,000, so they may not be able to capture the city.

"General Zhang, you stay here and guard the place. I will personally lead the charge!" Zhuge Liang said.

Zhang Liao patted his horse's buttocks, rode ahead, and said to Zhuge Liang behind him: "General Zhuge, you stay here and watch carefully. I will go to fight first, and you can enter the city after we have taken it down."

Zhuge Liang: “…”

Then he watched Zhang Liao personally step onto the ladder and climb up the city wall with a brave and desperate attitude.

Seeing that their supreme commander was so fearless of death, the soldiers' morale reached its peak.

Gao Shun, Guan Ping and the other two generals no longer have the intention of staying in the center of the army. Now it’s already this time, so let’s follow General Zhang Liao and charge forward!
The five generals charged towards the top of the city with unstoppable momentum.

In just half an hour, Zhang Liao had rushed to the top of the city wall covered in blood, like a killing god. The soldiers following Zhang Liao all climbed onto the city wall and immediately started a bloody fight.

"General Guan! Go to the city and open the gate!"

Zhang Liao spoke.

Mi Fang and Feng Xi were also shocked, they never expected that these commanders of the Dameng Dynasty would be so crazy. They had attacked the cities of the Dameng Dynasty before, but there was no reason for these generals to charge into battle. After all, the lives of generals were much more valuable than those of soldiers. If they died in the siege, it would be too depressing.

But this group of crazy people didn't seem to have such awareness, and the other side's supreme commander actually led the way.

Feng Xi and Mi Fang were stunned for a moment, then they joined forces to besiege Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao held back two of the enemy's generals, which gave Guan Ping and the others the opportunity to go to the city and open the city gate.

Guan Ping's four generals had already rushed into the city gate and struggled to open it.

The moment the city was opened, Zhuge Liang led the remaining troops and launched a frantic charge towards Pingyun Town like a storm.

Once the city gate is broken, it will be Zhuge Liang's home court. Zhuge Liang's martial arts is no weaker than Zhang Liao's, and the soldiers under the city gate are not enough for Zhuge Liang to kill.

The experience points and skill points of his attributes were increasing crazily, but the experience points gained by ordinary soldiers were too little, so he shouted, "General Zhang, leave one for me!"

When Zhuge Liang climbed to the top of the city wall, he found that the bodies of Mi Fang and Feng Xi were almost cold.

Zhuge Liang looked helpless. He didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing to have such a powerful general. Anyway, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Zhuge Liang to gain experience points. He could only kill some soldiers.

Pingyun Town, which was highly anticipated and would never be captured so easily in Xiahou Yuan's eyes, was captured in less than an hour. It looked very easy.

Two generals were killed, Pingyun Town was in chaos, and the remaining soldiers had no combat effectiveness. Besides, the Dameng Dynasty would not pursue their past and would not kill those who surrendered. So what was the point of these soldiers fighting?

They had never had much sense of belonging to the Wu Dynasty in the first place, and now that the city had been breached and the generals were dead, they of course chose not to resist anymore and simply took off their armor and surrendered.

Zhuge Liang had originally planned to continue slaughtering some soldiers to gain experience points, but now he no longer has this opportunity.

Three towns, after conquering three towns in a row, Zhuge Liang's total experience value only increased by 1900 points. He was speechless.
