Chapter 1056

: Chapter 382: Abandoned

"Report! My lord, Gongsun Xu of Liaodong gathered an army of [-] troops, and marched down from the south of Yuyang. Zhangwu City, the northernmost city in the Bohai Sea, was destroyed after a day of fierce fighting.
Liu Bei's body shook, but his face was completely numb.Looking carefully, I saw the muscles on his cheeks twitching uncontrollably. Although his eyes were looking forward, they were empty and without focus.After a while, he raised his hand, waved it twice, and swung the scout down.

Zhang Wu is lost!It seemed that Fuyang couldn't keep it.I can't take care of Cao Jun here, so where are the soldiers to rescue Fuyang?

And once Fuyang is broken, Nanpi's back door will be opened, and Nanpi City will be completely surrounded on all sides.If you want to retreat from Nanpi again, you will inevitably face many obstacles.

Because the last remaining city, Gaocheng, is in the east of Nanpi and southeast of Fuyang.Once the floating sun is broken, the enemy's soldiers can radiate the retreat route to Gaocheng.Moreover, in this way, the retreat from Nanpi to the river mouth will also be blocked at the same time. [

No!no!Fuyang can't be lost!

With a bang, the case in front of him was almost overturned.Liu Bei stood up suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, like a trapped wild animal.

Fuyang must not be lost!In the current situation, it is better to lose Nanpi than to lose Fuyang.Otherwise, there would be no way out, and that would be to wait for his death.

The current plan, the so-called distribution of reinforcements is impossible, what can be done is to retreat to Fuyang and defend.

But if the whole army were to defend Fuyang, the food stored in Fuyang would not be enough for the whole army.If you want to retreat, you must first transport the grain and fodder.It is impossible to hoard all the past, at least you must be able to hold on to the amount for one month.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly turned around, "Come here! Come here!" He raised his voice and shouted loudly.

The guards outside the hall responded loudly and ran in hastily. "Go, order General Pei to mobilize [-] soldiers and send reinforcements to Fuyang as soon as possible. Then order the supply battalion to distribute Nanpi's grain immediately and transport it to Fuyang for storage. Also, ask General Zhou to hand over the command to others. Let him come to me quickly!"

Liu Bei ordered in a deep voice, and the soldiers crossed their hands to agree, and took the order and left.Not long after, there was a commotion outside.Amidst the chaos, when the armor leaf was rattling, Zhou Cang rushed in already covered in blood.

"Immediately select [-] elite soldiers and assemble them. You will lead them personally. Go out from the east gate and wait for me [-] miles away. To the outside world, you only say that you are going to reinforce Fuyang. When you release the news, say that Cao Jun has an order. Once you enter the city, you will be sent Slaughter the city for three days without leaving any prisoners. Tell the remaining soldiers that I will personally sit here and defend the city with them. If you are in the city, you will not retreat!"

Staring straight at Zhou Cang, Liu Bei ordered in a low voice, but looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes. Zhou Cang's blood-stained face was shocked for a while, and then his expression changed drastically.

He naturally understood Liu Bei's intentions.This is obviously planning to abandon the city and leave, but in order to delay the time, they tricked the remaining soldiers to stay here and die.

Zhou Cang couldn't help the tears in his eyes, he mumbled his mouth a few times, but finally didn't say a word, bowed his head and cupped his fists to accept the order, turned around and left.

In this era, human life is worthless.This human life refers not only to ordinary people, but also to those low-level soldiers.Facing more than 4 enemy troops outside the city, the remaining [-] people really defended the city and were determined to defend it.

In a siege battle, the most feared thing is that the army defending the city has a desperate heart.Therefore, the art of war has the theory of encirclement, three lines and one.The purpose is to leave a way to survive and disintegrate the defenders' will to fight.

However, Liu Bei ordered the release of rumors that Cao's army was going to massacre the city without leaving any prisoners, but it blocked everyone's escape route.When the 4 people knew that the city would die immediately and there was no way out, Zhou Cang deeply understood the power of the remaining 4 people.As a result, it will surely bring ample time for those who retreat.

It is an equation to exchange 4 deaths for 4 lives.But it is an extremely cruel equation.But in it, Zhou Cang, as a subordinate, had no choice but to resist.The obsession of respecting the emperor and being loyal to the emperor forced him to strictly implement it.

At a quarter to three in the afternoon, during the continuous delivery of grain and fodder to Fuyang, [-] elites quietly left the east gate.Another half an hour later, Liu Bei, dressed as an ordinary soldier, walked away under the protection of his personal guards.In Nanpi City, there are only [-] red-eyed soldiers who vowed to defend the city to the death.

Arrows flew across the sky, rocks flew, and the mournful howls continued.The upper and lower walls of Nanpi City were filled with blood, and the corpses lay like mountains. The fierce battle lasted until the time of Haishi before it gradually subsided.

The exhausted defenders supported each other and leaned against the parapet and the building to pant, gathering the last traces of physical strength in their bodies.At this moment, no one realizes that they have been abandoned, and no one realizes that their lord has been gone for a long time.It wasn't until nighttime when the order changed and the soldiers asked the Chinese army for the password to watch the night, that they were surprised to find that the entire government office was already empty, and the army was in an uproar. [

In the autumn of [-], on September [-], Nanpi fell.

After Cao Jun attacked for two consecutive days and suffered tens of thousands of casualties, the defenders in Nanpi finally mutinied. They abandoned the city and moved to Nanpi.

At this time, Liu Bei was already sitting in Fuyang City, commanding the selected [-] elites, repelling Gongsun Xu's siege, and finally gained a short respite.
