Chapter 265 Zhou Tong's distress

Cao Ren was really a little unreasonable this time. He attacked wildly for a month without any cost. Although he was a little irrational, for Guan Cheng, this lifeless style of playing also put Guan Cheng under tremendous pressure.

The layer of cement painted on the city wall has begun to peel off, revealing the bricks and stones inside, and even incomplete places have appeared in many places. In order to save time, the city wall is hollow. Even if there is attribute bonus, the improvement of attributes is limited. Under such continuous attacks, Liu Yi has now begun to build a solid city wall behind the original city wall.

"Sir, Fang Ling's troops are the last batch. Shangyong's reinforcements have begun to be transferred, but they will only arrive in three days at the earliest." This time, Fang Lingling came to send the reinforcements and led the team himself.

He injured ten thousand enemies and lost three thousand themselves. Cao Ren made such a crazy attack without regard for the consequences. Although the defenders made great achievements through the city wall, Liu Yi's troops were also constantly consumed, and Fang Ling's troops were almost allocated.

"Damn it, are you crazy?" Liu Yi was a little swearing. If Cao Ren was defeated, he would probably not last for three days and he would have to be broken here. Once he was broken here, Fang Ling had not many troops. It would be fine if he retreated. He followed the same trick and continued to fight with Shangyong. Cao's army suffered even more casualties. Even if he broke through Fangling and took Shangyong down, he would probably be unable to advance to Hanzhong again. But he could leave, and the people of Fangling could not leave.

Fang Lingling did not speak, and stood respectfully aside. He was not able to interfere in the war. During this period, it was good that Fang Ling could not be in chaos. The Cao army was approaching, and the people in the city were in panic, especially the troops stationed in Fang Ling were constantly being pulled away, which made the people in the city even more panic. As Fang Lingling, it was already very good that he could stabilize the hearts of the people at this time and prevent the people from being in chaos.

"You transfer the wounded soldiers here back to Fangling for cultivation first, I'm here." After patting Fangling Ling's shoulder, Liu Yi had nothing to say. Take the wounded soldiers back first. At this time, the wounded soldiers staying here will have no use except for death.

"Here!" Fang Lingling bowed to Liu Yi, followed Liu Yi's instructions and went to the injured barracks, ordered people to mobilize some civilians and send the injured soldiers back to Fangling overnight. This was undoubtedly another huge pressure for the people of Fangling, but Fang Lingling didn't say anything. At this time, the pressure on Guancheng was obviously greater than Fangling.

As night fell, the day's killing battle finally ended. Meng Da sat down with some helplessness and leaned against the enemy building. A doctor came forward to help him deal with the wounds on his body. If he continued like this, he didn't know how many days he could guard the city wall. The holes in the city wall were not repaired in time. In the past two days, he had seen Cao's army drilling inside. He was very worried that the city wall would be forced to be demolished from the inside.

"Are the general safe?" A general stepped forward, looked at Meng Da, and bowed.

Seeing this general, Meng Da shook his head with a smile. The person's name is Zhou Tong. He has performed quite bravely on the battlefield in recent days. Fighting is a waste of time. Moreover, Meng Da found that the opponent's command ability is also quite good. In addition, there are many casualties now, and many generals have been shot and killed. Therefore, Zhou Tong has been promoted several times in the past month and has now become a military marquis. Of course, he actually has not many troops, which is a kind of honorary commendation.

"Let's go, follow me to see the sir!" Meng Da stood up after resting for a while, smiled at Zhou Tong. He was going to recommend Zhou Tong to Liu Yi. He was indeed a talented person, and he was desperate to fight, and there was a lack of such a ruthless character in the army.

"Here!" Zhou Tong was not happy when he heard this.

Zhou Tong was naturally Cao's army who was mistakenly taken by the gatekeeper school as his own. After a fierce battle this month, the gatekeeper school died. Zhou Tong was promoted step by step because of his brave combat and lack of generals in the army. Zhou Tong also gradually understood the situation in Guancheng this month. Although Meng Da was the main general in name, the real person who was in charge was Liu Yi, a craftsman who had defeated Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren in Mocheng. Le Jin captured Le Jin alive. Later, he helped Liu Bei recover the craftsman from the four counties of Jingxiang with two thousand troops!

Zhou Tong felt that the person who told him about this was teasing him. Nowadays, it takes so many talents to be a craftsman? What is it for a craftsman to come to fight if he doesn't work well? Of course, Liu Yi has many names, such as the craftsman who is the General of the Central Army and serves as Yueyang. Changsha is now acting as the prefect of Hanzhong. And I heard that these places are well managed under the governance of the other party, Zhou Tong felt a little inferior. After living for most of his life, he was just a general in the Cao army, and even a craftsman could not compare with him.

If it was a month ago, he would definitely be happy to have the opportunity to meet Liu Yi, which means he had the opportunity to assassinate Liu Yi.

But now, after a month, Zhou Tong hesitated. In the past month, Cao Jun who died at his hands might have been hundreds of. At first, Zhou Tong was enduring humiliation and sacrificed some robes to achieve his goal to provide opportunities to approach Liu Yi.

What made Zhou Tong depressed was that his level was constantly improving, but Liu Yi's opportunity only appeared today. This craftsman general and the prefect of the three counties almost did not care about military affairs. The army in this city was basically dispatched by Meng Da. In this case, in order not to expose himself, Zhou Tong could only continue to kill his robes. At first, he killed himself alone, but later he was promoted and led his people to kill him. If he included his subordinates and other Cao troops, Zhou Tong himself didn't know how many of them had killed, including his former colleagues.

Until now, Zhou Tong's heart began to numb. Even if he killed Liu Yi, could he still go back? If Cao Jun knew about his amazing deeds, his family in his hometown in Nanyang would be destroyed by the three tribes.

What made Zhou Tong feel most shameful was that during this month, he had no idea when he began to regard himself as Liu Bei's subordinate!

(Off topic, perfect city attribute: soldiers return to their hearts +38, extremely strong +36, physical strength recovery +39, morale as rainbow +37)

This kind of torture of swaying left and right made Zhou Tong hesitate. At this time, seeing Liu Yi means he must make a choice.

Reality obviously did not give Zhou Tong too much time to choose. He followed Meng Da and soon arrived at Liu Yi's house in this pass.

Because it is a temporary residence, Liu Yi did not spend much effort on designing it, but when he walked in, he also gave people a rather elegant feeling.

"Sir." Meng Da bowed to Liu Yi.

"Injured?" Liu Yi looked at Meng Da and frowned.

"How many people are there in the city now unharmed?" Meng Da smiled bitterly and said to Liu Yi: "The general's mistakes have caused our army to suffer heavy losses. Please punish me. I am willing to bear this matter with all my strength!"

"I agree." Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if the lord really wants to blame this matter, it's not your turn to take responsibility. Besides, although our army suffered serious losses in this battle, Cao's army's losses were several times our army. How could anyone not die in a war?"

"Thank you, sir!" Meng Da said in his heart. Following a leader who can help him take care of his own affairs is a lucky thing for anyone. Although Meng Da has a lot of thoughts, he admires Liu Yi very much at this moment. Even though Liu Yi rarely manages the affairs, he almost bears the pressure of Cao's army alone, but Meng Da does not blame Liu Yi. He is a capable person. Now Liu Yi can let him show his abilities and not let him have any worries. This feeling is much better than Liu Yi running up the city wall to command blindly. Meng Da really admires Liu Yi now, and he also understands why a person like Liu Feng is so arrogant.

It’s not how capable Liu Yi is, but how capable Liu Yi is.

"Just just now, Fang Lingling sent a group of reinforcements, three hundred people, but within three days, there will be no reinforcements." Liu Yi looked at Meng Da and said with some concern: "Can you defend it?"

Fangling is too far from Shangyong and even further from the hinterland of Hanzhong, and reinforcements are unable to keep up. At the beginning, Liu Yi did not expect that the war could be so fierce. If he had known this, he would have spent more time to fill the hollow city wall and build a higher height.

"Mr. I have added three more broken army crossbows. Once, the magical weapons were in hand, and there were another three hundred people, which was enough." Meng Da said confidently.

Liu Yi has not really been in the Xianyu this month. The fifteen-foot city wall and five Pojun crossbows are quite high. After all, this thing is relatively large in size and the area of ​​the city wall is limited. The five Pojun crossbows have already occupied quite a lot of space, and even more city walls will be filled.

It is a good thing to have confidence. Liu Yi did not believe in Meng Da's words, but it would be good to have confidence. His eyes turned and fell on the generals brought by Meng Da, and Liu Yi frowned slightly.

It’s not that he saw Zhou Tong’s identity. What he got was the craftsmanship system. He had no mind reading skills and could not see the identity information of people. Instead, Zhou Tong had a lot of bandages on his body, and blood was still seeping in many places. This injury was a bit amazing just looking, and he could be sent back to Fangling as a wounded soldier.

"I forgot to introduce to Mr., this is a newly promoted military marquis, who is quite brave in combat. Zhou Tong, have you seen Mr.?" Meng Da smiled when he saw Liu Yi looking over.

"I met Mr. Zhou Tong at the end." Zhou Tong was a little confused and said to Liu Yi until Meng Da pushed him.

"Jingzhou people?" Liu Yi was surprised to hear the other party's accent. There were basically Shu troops here, and only his guards were his Jingzhou soldiers. Zhou Tong was obviously not.

Zhou Tong's heart hopped a few times and bowed and said, "I finally got my ancestral home in Wan County, and then fled to Yizhou to escape the war."

Liu Yi just asked casually that in fact, there are many generals with such foreign status in the Shu army. There is also a general name in Yizhou, called Dongzhou Shi. I don’t know if Zhou Tong is a member of Dongzhou Shi.

"Military Marquis?" Liu Yi smiled and stood up, patted Zhou Tong on the shoulder and said, "Go back to Fangling. After this battle, I will ask you for merit from the lord and express your gratitude as the captain."

Liu Yi naturally knew that Meng Da’s intention to bring this person with him. Meng Da’s authority was given by Liu Yi, but he could only temporarily promote the position of military marquis and then go to the appointment of the general. Liu Yi did not have this right, but recommendations could be done.

"Why don't you thank me?" Meng Da was stunned when he saw Zhou Tong still there, and couldn't help kicking him. Why is this kid so unconscious today?

"Oh, thank you sir."
