Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 539 Zhang Liao Has Arrived
No matter how much Wei Yan hated the island race, it is an indisputable fact that he still needs to rely on these people to help him defend the city.

The army of the island country outside the city had no morale at all, and although they launched several attacks, they were all driven back by the defenders in the city and those ferocious civilians.

Especially in the last attack of the island nation's army, Fazheng directly took out half of the arrows, and the overwhelming rain of arrows poured on the hearts of the island nation's army like a basin of cold water.

Originally, they thought that after more than a day of hard fighting in the city, they had no more resources to defend the city.But now it seems that everything is a trap, full of scheming.

Although Abe Nagatobu is a little mediocre in leading the battle, he also knows that judging from the situation today, it is impossible to capture Hiroshima Castle.Although he was unwilling, he was helpless.

The fall of another night also gave the defenders in Hiroshima City another night of respite.

After seeing the army of the island country retreating, the people of the island country laughed and left one by one.It's just that their kind of laughter doesn't look like the laughter of escape from death, nor does it look like the joy of protecting the family, but just the wanton after killing.

Looking at the islanders who left the city wall, Fazheng frowned.

Fazheng has never seen such people before, and he doesn't know how to deal with them at this time.What's more, Fazheng can't guarantee what these people will become.

Previously, when he was in the Han Dynasty, Fazheng had also heard of people who fell into the murderous way and killed people like grass.That person was Wen Chou from Yuan Shao's account. However, although Wen Chou entered the killing path, he could still control his own thoughts and only used the killing path to improve his strength.

But these ordinary island people, Fazheng can't guarantee that these people have such a mind.

Fazheng was very worried about whether the people of these island countries would extend their butcher knives to the soldiers guarding the city after their minds were covered by the killing.

It can be said that these people can be regarded as veterans now, and they can help the soldiers of the Han Dynasty defend the city together.

However, even if the soldiers of the big man were tired, Fazheng and Wei Yan still did not dare to fire their swords and guns into the hands of those strong men.

"Xiaozhi, we lost more than 500 people today." Wei Yan and Fazheng did not stay with the soldiers on the city wall at this moment, but chose an empty corner.

After hearing Wei Yan's words, Fazheng didn't know what Wei Yan wanted to express.However, Fazheng did not dare to gamble after all.Looking around at the surrounding soldiers, Fazheng sighed and said, "The weapons are in the warehouse in the city, do you dare to take them out?"

Wei Yan was silent. Some things are easy to say, but it takes a lot of courage to do them.Obviously, Wei Yan is a person without such courage.

Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.In the end, it was Fazheng who broke the silence. "You and I don't dare to gamble. If this is the case, then we can only feel sorry for our brothers."

After Fazheng said this, the atmosphere between the two became even more dull.If possible, who of them would let those brothers who followed them across the ocean die?
There was no talking all night, until the sun rose and the sky became brighter. The island nation's army outside the city was also preparing to start the third day of siege.

Although Hiroshima Castle was not captured for two days in a row, Abe Naganobu still looked pretty good.They lost more than 5000 soldiers on the first day, but the number dropped sharply to just over 3000 on the second day.In Abe's view, this is entirely due to the sharp decline in the number of defenders in the city.

On this day, Abe Yongxin believed that the defenders in Hiroshima City would definitely not be able to defend against their attacks.Perhaps, the defenders in the city will fight against trapped beasts, but as long as Abe Yongxin is not afraid of sacrifice, he will definitely be able to win Hiroshima Castle.

Furthermore, Abe Nagatobu is indeed not afraid of sacrifice, anyway, he is not going to attack the city.

On this day, although Fazheng and the others could see that the defenders of the Han Dynasty were a little tired, the weapons in the hands of those Zhuang people who did not have any discomfort with killing people were still a bow and arrows, and there were only a few arrows. and a pile of stones and rolling logs behind him.

With the siege experience of the previous two days, the army of the island country has made a lot of progress. At least in the case of some fear in their hearts, they can still form a neat formation.

At the same time, the deployment of soldiers in the island country is more reasonable this time, the proportion of shield soldiers has increased significantly, and the quality of cover is much better than the previous two days.

Looking at the island soldiers approaching the city wall, Wei Yan and Fazheng looked unhappy.They all understand that if they can still repel the island soldiers on this day, then they will be sure to hold Hiroshima City for at least five days.

It's just that there is a more critical point, the possibility that they will not be able to defend Hiroshima City today is even greater.

"Brothers, if I fail to defend the city today, I guarantee that I will definitely die before your eyes." Before the army of the island nation entered the range of the arrows on the city wall, Fazheng stood in front of everyone and pointed at the big men. said the soldier.

Fazheng's words were spoken in the language of the big man. After hearing Fazheng's words, the soldiers of the big man were immediately shocked.Even the people of those island countries looked a little serious when they saw the appearance of the soldiers of the Han army.

This time, the soldiers of the island country did not suffer much loss before they boarded the city.There were shield soldiers covering in front, and some small stones were also blocked by them.

It was the smoothest time to rush up the city wall. Before the soldiers of the island country could be happy, they were beaten down with knives and guns by the Han soldiers on the city wall.

However, as more and more ladders climbed the city wall, more and more island soldiers climbed the city wall.And the more soldiers from the island country who climbed the city wall, the disadvantage of the insufficient number of soldiers of the Han Dynasty will be reflected.

However, at this time, the folks on the city wall also showed their role.Although they were not issued with knives and guns, but out of the protection of their families, they also had a trace of bloodthirsty desire. They either picked up the weapons of the dead soldiers, or directly picked up a stone and rushed up.

The soldiers of the two sides fought together, and the battle suddenly became extremely tragic.In particular, the soldiers of the island country who attacked the city still had a large number of reinforcements, but the defenders in the city fell one after another.

After Fazheng swung the saber in his hand and killed an enemy soldier in front of him, he looked around, but found that the number of island country soldiers on the city wall already exceeded the number of soldiers defending the city.

If it weren't for the help of those strong people on the city wall, it would be impossible to say that the city has fallen now.Just when Fazheng was feeling hopeless, he discovered that the island soldiers who were about to climb the city wall had retreated.

"what happened?"

All of a sudden, this question arose in the hearts of everyone who discovered this abnormality.

However, this question didn't last long before they understood what had happened.

Outside the city wall, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared, rushing towards the formation of soldiers from the island country outside the city wall.Those island soldiers all set their sights on Hiroshima City, how could they have thought that there would be a cavalry rushing towards them?

Abe Yongxin watched a cavalry charge towards them, and he didn't dare to take his own eyes off.But this is the reality, even if Abe Nagatobu no longer believes it, it is true.

In desperation, Abe Yongxin could only withdraw his troops.Otherwise, letting unprepared infantry encounter cavalry in a wilderness would be self-defeating.

The army of the island country retreated, and the soldiers of the island country who had climbed the city wall suddenly lost the courage to fight again.When the reinforcements in the city saw the cavalry approaching, they immediately understood that they were reinforcements sent by Ye Mo.In this way, the morale of the defenders in the city was also high, which directly reversed the situation and turned into soldiers fighting against the island country.

After the cavalry outside the city drove the island nation's army away, they stopped pursuing them.After cooperating with the defenders at the top of the city to force the island soldiers who failed to leave to surrender, those cavalry entered the city from the city gate under the watchful eyes of Fazheng and Wei Yan.

This cavalry was none other than the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao.

Ye Mo also knew that they would not be able to reach Hiroshima City in time with the army, so he asked Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry first.

And Zhang Liao also arrived in time, not letting Fazheng and Wei Yan's previous efforts and persistence be in vain.
