Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 403
A tiger is a tiger, why bother to keep it as a house sparrow.

After a long time, Wang Mang's consciousness receded, and on the way back, he told Li Guang not to worry about Huo Qubing, and that his life or death was entirely up to him. In other words, Huo Qubing was a sharp blade, a striker among strikers, Li Guang is the central army among the forwards and the mainstay.

Hangu Pass.

With a gloomy face, Shi Gandang desperately dispatched soldiers to Hangu Pass to kill him. Shi Gandang never expected that the soldiers at Hangu Pass could burst out with such great strength after a night of fierce fighting, resisting him forcefully. attack for such a long time.

Bunch of trash!
Shi Gandang personally executed a group of Korean soldiers who were afraid of difficulties during the siege, and then shouted to the surroundings: "What are you watching here? Watching a play, I will go to the front to supervise the battle. Anyone who dares not go forward will be punished." Execute on the spot, our army must take Hangu Pass today."

A group of Han generals roared away with their own soldiers. They were all old men who followed Shi Gandang, so they naturally knew the general's temper. If Hangu Pass could not be taken today, many of them might not be able to please.

When Hangu Pass was closed, Deng Zhong commanded the soldiers to continue fighting with a hoarse voice. After repelling the attack of the Han army, he said to his side: "How many soldiers and horses and defense equipment do we have? If the Han army continues to maintain this offensive , how long we can defend."

"Reporting to the general, there are less than 3 soldiers in the city who can still fight. Most of them are wounded. After a day and a night of fighting, the defense equipment has not been replenished, and there are very few left. We won't be able to last long if we keep going on the offensive like this."

"Damn it, are these Han soldiers crazy? Why are they attacking so recklessly!"

Deng Zhong spat, and seeing tens of thousands of Han troops gathering in a square formation to attack Hangu Pass, he couldn't help roaring: "Go and call Wang Cheng over, it's time like this, those under his command People have to go up."

"General, I have shouted several times. General Wang has always said that he wants to guard the general, and his subordinates must prevent the general from being assassinated again, so they cannot move around easily."

"What time is it? If Hangu Pass is breached, does Wang Cheng think that he can escape with the few people in his hands?"

"The young general will go to General Wang again."

Deng Zhong smashed his fist on the city wall, and a brick on the city wall was sent flying by Deng Zhong, which just landed on the head of Han Bing, who was besieging the city. Just let the brick explode in the head.

Deng Zhong snorted coldly and directed the soldiers to continue defending the city. Deng Zhong shouted: "Brothers, cheer up and defend the city. The opponent is about to jump over the wall in a hurry, and they don't have many men to continue attacking the city. , we are about to succeed, as long as we repel this wave of enemy troops, our reinforcements will arrive at most tonight, brothers, we have been fighting for so long, we cannot fall before the dawn of victory!"

The messenger quickly spread Deng Zhong's words to the entire army defending the city. Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers shouted, and once they cheered up, they fought fiercely with the attacking Han soldiers.

call out!
A flash of arrow suddenly shot out from the sky, and shot straight at Deng Zhong. Deng Zhong looked at the direct shot of arrow with horror on his face. No one ever discovered where the arrow came from.

This is the arrow that kills!

Deng Zhong stared angrily, he already felt the approach of death.

Snapped!
A figure suddenly rushed over from behind Deng Zhong, kicked Deng Zhong aside, a flash of saber flashed, and the arrow was cut off by the saber light.

"Deng Zhong, are you stupid? If you don't dodge the arrows coming, you are going to die!" Wang Cheng glared at Deng Zhong angrily.

At the critical moment, it was Wang Cheng who arrived suddenly and saved Deng Zhong's life.

Deng Zhong looked at Wang Cheng, then looked behind Wang Cheng, and said, "Why are you alone, where are your subordinates?"

"They are naturally protecting the general." Wang Chengdao: "I have checked, there are assassins in this city, the general must be safe, he must be protected by someone, I know you are in trouble here, anyway, the people under me will not Come, I will listen to your command myself."

"Wang Cheng, this is a battlefield, not a place for you to be a hero. Individual strength is negligible on the battlefield, and strength comes from a large number of people. You are already General Zuo. Don't you understand this simple truth?" Deng said. Zhong said angrily: "Hangu Pass is now at the point of life and death, if you do this, will the general agree when he wakes up?"

"It doesn't matter whether the general agrees or not. Anyway, I agree." Wang Cheng pouted his neck and said, "Anyway, I don't have anyone under my command to give it to you, and I'm the only one who does. You can figure it out."

"Okay, okay!" Deng Zhong pointed at Wang Cheng and said angrily, "Since you said so, then there is something that needs you to do, it depends on whether you dare or not?"

"What's the matter?" Wang Cheng said.

"This city can't last long. The city needs soldiers and defense equipment. I know there are no more in the warehouse, but there are many big households in the city. The guards in our hands and the offensive and defensive equipment in our hands have all been found, this city must not be lost!" Deng Zhong said loudly.

"This..." Wang Cheng looked puzzled. He also knew that the big households in the city had a lot of power, but according to what Deng Zhong said, it would be extremely offensive to confiscate them at this time. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. what.

"Don't you want to protect the general?" Deng Zhong said again: "Wang Cheng, you have to remember that if the Hangu Pass is breached, even if the general wakes up, he can only commit suicide and apologize!"

This sentence became the last straw that overwhelmed Wang Cheng. Wang Mang slashed out viciously, and the hob breath swept away, directly killing more than a dozen Han soldiers climbing on the city wall, and then stomped his feet. Going down the city wall, he left with a gloomy face.

Now I can only count on this reckless man!
Deng Zhong sighed secretly. At this time, the big households in the city must be extremely unwilling to support the guards at Hangu Pass. After all, no one's manpower and property came in vain. If there is no strong means, these big households will How could it be possible to obediently hand over the strength in your hands, but strong means will inevitably lead to strong resistance. At this time, only a reckless person like Wang Cheng who is also very prestigious in the city can handle this matter well , Changing anyone may provoke a civil uprising.

"Give me a hard kill, kill all these bastards!"

Deng Zhong picked up a bucket of kerosene, threw it directly on the city wall, and threw a tinder casually. On the spot, dozens of Han soldiers were surrounded by flames, and screams came out from the flames. The Han soldiers showed fear on their faces, and then, under the scolding of the supervising team, they launched a desperate attack towards Hangu Pass with a fierce face.
