Time passed slowly in the cold weather. In a blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. The battle on the Western Front, which was in a stalemate, was still like the frozen Yellow River, with a calm surface as a mirror, and a surging in the dark. Bubble_Bar ()

The Northern Army led by Lu Zhi slowed down the pace of attacking Li Shi, hoping that Huangfu Song and Cao Sun's coalition could make progress in Lin County and Gaolang. However, facing the Zhao army, which was harder than stones and colder than cold ice, it was not that Lu Zhi could achieve results with wishful thinking, nor that Huangfu Song and Cao Sun's coalition could grit their teeth and hit the city in one breath.

As long as it is a siege, you can't escape the ending of death without hiding thousands of times. The siege party wants to break through the city, and the defender still sticks to it without being moved. If you want to enter Lin County and Gaolang, then use the lives of your soldiers to fill in the city wall one after another!

Up to now, Huangfu Song has launched four rounds of attacks on Lin County. There are only 50,000 imperial guards and imperial guards, and only 30,000 are left. If they continue to fight, there will be danger of the entire army being destroyed. According to Huangfu Song's vision and estimates, there are 6,000 casualties in the Xiongwu army defending the city, but the fighting will of the soldiers guarding the city is still very strong, revealing that they will definitely die until the last soldier. Moreover, with the reduction of the soldiers guarding the city, the remaining soldiers seem to be growing in the battle, becoming more and more brave and fierce, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides is even more unfavorable to the Imperial Guards.

Huangfu Song's uncle Huangfu Gui unfortunately died in the battle to take the lead in siege, which made Huangfu Song feel extremely painful. What Huangfu Song didn't know was that a general in the Xiongwu Army guarding the city was unfortunately injured by a stray arrow. After rescue failed, he heroically sacrificed his life to the city.

The general of the Xiongwu Army who died was Liu He, the general who transferred to Zhao Xing from Ding Yuan's tent, was not exposed or exposed on weekdays, but just did his job honestly. At the critical moment, he led the heavy armored infantry to defend a warhead that was about to collapse, and forced all the enemy troops climbing up the city to return.

Unfortunately, an arrow shot from the city was shot in the rain, and it trickily shot into Liu He's face-covering armor, revealing his eyes. The arrow shot through Liu He's pupils until he was inside the skull, completely destroying Liu He's brain organs. Even Hua Tuo was present, he could not be healed. Liu He's sacrifice did not make the soldiers of the Xiongwu Army feel any fear or retreat. On the contrary, it aroused the soldiers' determination to stick to the end.

In fact, the specific casualties of the Xiongwu Army stationed in Lin County were 5,000, one thousand less than Huangfu Song's estimated. Among these 5,000 people, less than two thousand were killed, more than two thousand were seriously injured, and one thousand were slightly injured. Such casualties were entirely attributed to Zhao Xing's unremitting efforts to improve and improve the protective equipment of his troops. In the era of cold weapons, strong steel armor and helmets could save the lives of many soldiers.

If Huangfu Song continues to consume with Li Jinwu, he will find that the more he goes to the back, the stronger the recovery ability of the Xiongwu Army, as if thousands of soldiers were added out of thin air. When the Xiongwu Army is dead, how many imperial guards and imperial guards can stand at the head of Lin County? Perhaps Huangfu Song will not wait for that day at all. Don’t forget that many of the thorny yellow turbans that were moved from Shangjun in Lin County were not activated at all. When there is no soldier to defend, Li Jinwu will recruit these former sinners without hesitation and continue to fight with Huangfu Song to the end.

Huangfu Song's life was not easy, and Cao Cao, who attacked Gaolang, was as sad as Sun Jian. After all, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were not the Central Army. The determination to attack Gaolang was not as firm as Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi. Therefore, after each sent troops to attack Jia Xu, he stopped in a tacit understanding and stopped touching the big nails in front of him.

At Gaolang City, Sun Jian took the lead in the first round of attacks, losing 4,000 soldiers and brave general Zu Mao. Then Cao Cao gritted his teeth and launched another round of attacks, which made the black son who had lost Cao Hong dare not easily send military generals to take the lead in attacking the city. As a result, he was even more unbearable than Sun Jian's Wu army and could not get close to Gaolang City with a strong morale. After losing 3,000 Taishan soldiers, Lao Cao directly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and refused to send troops to attack Jia Xu again.

Afterwards, the military advisors of Cao and Sun's army racked their brains to use tricks to deceive Gaolang's city gate. This was naturally ineffective. Wuran was because the Cao and Sun coalition army pretended to be the defeated Zhao army from Lin County to deceive the pass, or pretended to leave Lin County. Lishi and the other two cities had been defeated and scared the soldiers on the city. Jia Xu was not moved at all. He played conspiracy with Jia Xu, even if the seven strategists, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Liu Ye, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Jin, and Lu Su, combined, had no achievements.

Jia Xu just remembers that Zhao Xing assigned the task to be to defend Gaolang, and he doesn't care about anything. As long as the Cao-Sun coalition forces do not climb the city to fight, Jia Xu sat on the city gate tower and set up the dragon gate formation with Wang He, Song Xian and Hao Meng, which was a rare leisure and elegant way. Cao Cao and Sun Jian were so angry that they could not help this old guy. If anyone is unwilling to accept it, he can bring his soldiers to experience the rolling stones on the top of the city, let alone the terrifying sky-burning thunder and scary bed crossbow.

In fact, the West Alliance, which had three routes of siege, has now fallen into a state of retreating. Everyone can see that Zhao Xing had no intention of fighting with the coalition to the end, but the premise was that the coalition could not cross the Yellow River, or even occupy any city in the Xihe territory. Not wanting to fight to the end and not being able to fight to the end, although it was just a word difference, there were two completely different attitudes. The Zhenbei Army did not want to, not impossible, this point had been passed on from Zhao Xing, Li Jinwu, and Jia Xu to defend an isolated city, and it was clearly passed on to the coalition to the coalition.

After receiving the battle reports from Huangfu Song and Cao Sun's coalition, Lu Zhi had already understood the current situation. In this way, everyone lost the optimism and confidence he had at the beginning, but was just waiting for a decent excuse to withdraw his troops. It was like a fool to let the princes spend all their families in Bingzhou.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhi found that only 10,000 cavalry led by Pang De and 10,000 infantry led by Yan Yan had not been shown on the battlefield. I believe that the other coalition forces are still looking at these two troops now, hoping that Pang De and Yan Yan can make some movement, make a difference in the local battlefield, and even turn the situation around.

Although Zhu Ye once hinted in the letter that Lu Zhi should be careful of Pang De's 10,000 troops and must not be reused, Lu Zhi felt that at this time, he would give Pang De an order, which would be a good idea to see the true attitude of Ma Teng, the captain of the Qiang Guard. Even if Pang De led 10,000 cavalry to surrender to Zhao Xing in Bingzhou, it would not have any effect on the whole situation. On the contrary, when the two sides were in a stalemate, if Pang De could use the high-speed interspersion of the cavalry and raid along Lishi to Pingzhou and then to Guyuan, it might have the effect of a black tiger being heart-wrenching.
