The guard stationed in Yuancheng is obviously no ordinary person. After all, his opponent is a weakened version of Xiang Yu. If he does not have some skills, he will not be able to hold on even in a defensive battle.
Therefore, after Chu Xuan's reinforcements arrived, he directly ordered the defenders to open the city and fight to welcome the reinforcements.
The Yuancheng garrison is a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance. He is not an ordinary person at first glance, and his prestige among the Yuancheng garrison is not generally high.
Under his leadership, the morale of the Yuancheng defenders soared, and they launched a counterattack against the Yellow Turban Rebellion outside the city. With the full cooperation of Chu Xuan's Yicheng army and the Yuancheng defenders, the Han army won a great victory
Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing the support of more than 10,000 Han troops, and without knowing the specific situation of the enemy, Yun Kuang could only order to retreat ten miles to recuperate for a few days, and then resume the attack after regrouping.
It can be said that due to Chu Xuan's arrival, not only did Yuan Cheng, which was within easy reach, fly away from Yun Kuang's hands, but it also caused him to lose his troops.
Sun Xia, who originally went to the city to kill Ke Tianfei, was unlucky. He couldn't run away even if he wanted to, and eventually died in the chaos.
In this battle, the Yicheng Army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, while the Yellow Turban Army suffered 8,000 casualties. However, the most important thing the Yellow Turban Army lacked was men, and it would not take long to make up for it.
And this is also true.
Today is the twentieth day since Chu Xuan and others came to Yuancheng.
It can be said that except for the first five days, they can still live a peaceful life, and the remaining half month is basically gone. Yun Kuang will personally lead the army to attack the city every day.
Although the final result was that he could only leave thousands of corpses behind, the result of these continued was that the number of Han troops was gradually depleted.
Today, Chu Xuan repelled another attack from Yun Kuang, allowing him to retreat with the Yellow Turban Army, which was unable to achieve results.
"Damn it, this Yun Kuang is really committed to her. If this goes on, we will almost lose all our people." Chu Xuan looked at a middle-aged man next to him and said.
"General Chu, what you said is true. If it weren't for the 20,000 troops led by you, Nanyang would have been completely captured by now." The middle-aged man sighed, and then said: "The defenders in the city now, if I am not wrong, I guess
, I’m afraid there are only more than 10,000 left!”
Chu Xuan nodded when he heard this and said: "There are more than 15,000 people left, and basically everyone is injured. If this momentum continues, Yuancheng will fall in less than half a month."
Chu Xuan's voice was so low that ordinary soldiers and even generals with average strength could not hear it. However, the middle-aged man next to him heard it, and a hint of loneliness suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Of course, he can hear it not only because he is close to Chu Xuan, but also because his strength is higher than Chu Xuan. This person is none other than Huang Zhong, whose strength is unknown and he only appeared in the veteran period.
.
Huang Zhong, courtesy name Hansheng, was born in Nanyang. He was a lieutenant general under Liu Biao at first. The first half of his life was miserable and rough. His wife left and his son was seriously ill and difficult to treat.
For the sake of his family, Huang Zhong traveled around and visited famous doctors without success. In the end, because of the death of his only son, he was depressed for more than ten years. Only when he was in his sixties did he shine!
Later he joined Liu Bei's command and helped him conquer Liu Zhang in Yizhou.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), during the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong's formation killed Cao Cao's famous general Xia Houyuan, causing Cao Cao's overall plan to collapse. He paid tribute to General Zhengxi for his merit.
It can be said that Huang Zhong's beheading marked the beginning of victory in the Battle of Hanzhong.
Liu Bei was named Queen of Hanzhong, granted the title of General Huang Zhong, and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.
But the next year, in 220 AD, Huang Zhong died of illness.
In the third year of Jingyao's reign (260), he was given the posthumous title Gang.
In later generations, Huang Zhong mostly appeared in various literary and artistic works as a brave veteran.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei called her the Queen of Hanzhong and named her one of the "Five Tiger Generals". Huang Zhong's name gradually became synonymous with being old and strong in China.
Especially in the novel, Huang Zhong's strength is even more intensely discussed, because when he first shined, at the age of sixty, he fought Guan Yu in his prime, fighting to a hundred rounds without a win.
burden!
If he is so powerful in his sixties, wouldn't he be invincible when he was young?
Huang Zhong's subsequent achievements have made countless Romance of the Three Kingdoms book lovers marvel at his strength.
During the Battle of Yizhou, many generals felt that because Huang Zhong was old, he could not fight, otherwise he would be laughed at. However, Huang Zhong responded: "Shuzi bullies me for being old, but the sword in my hand is not old!"
Immediately, Huang Zhong proved that although he was old, his arms could still shoot a three-stone bow, and his whole body was still strong, shutting up those who laughed at him.
From then on, Huang Zhong started his last remaining moments. In the first battle, Huang Zhong relied on his magic shooting skills to kill Deng Xian with one arrow, broke through Deng Xian's camp, and captured General Leng Bao alive!
In the second battle, he faced Zhang He, one of the five good generals, and the battle ended in a draw at twenty, but he was later pursued for eighty or ninety miles!
In the third battle, Han Hao was killed in one attack and Xia Houshang was captured alive in one attack!
In the fourth battle, Cao Jun's general Xia Houyuan was drawn in the 20th round. Later, he relied on Fazheng's strategy to swoop down and kill him!
In the fifth battle, one combination killed the historical site, and three combinations defeated Pan Zhang!
The sixth battle was Huang Zhong's last battle. Even though he was surrounded by four generals: Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, and Pan Zhang, he still managed to break out of the siege. Unfortunately, he was shot in the shoulder by Ma Zhong's cold arrow, and finally died of bleeding.
.
In any case, Huang Zhong's record is definitely strong, but because the people he compares to are except Guan Yu, the gold content of his military force is really not very high.
However, in "Three Kingdoms", in this storytelling world, there is no need to go back to his youth, Huang Zhong is already the veritable number one in the world.
First, we drew with the general Wei Yan, which was nothing surprising. Fortunately, the time was short. Otherwise, points would be deducted.
Later, he drew with Zhang Fei, which was very impressive.
Then, Huang Zhong faced Wei Yan and Zhang Fei in a wheel battle, but remained undefeated. In the end, even Guan Yu joined in, and it was still difficult to defeat Huang Zhong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, the most frightening thing is that Huang Zhong stumbled again, but this time there was no "Guan Yun Changyi released Huang Hansheng", but Huang Zhong immediately got up and fought three generals on foot.
You must know that these three generals are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yan, who have joined forces to fight against the enemy, instead of resorting to wheel-and-wheel combat. But even so, he is still undefeated. If he is not the best in the world, I am afraid no one will dare to claim the throne.
.
And Huang Zhong in this world is the strongest version.
Huang Zhong is now only thirty-four years old, and his five-dimensional attributes have reached their peak. It is precisely because of his presence that Yuancheng has not been lost.
After all, Yun Kuang is so powerful. Although he only has 105 strength, his actual combat strength will not be at a disadvantage even if he encounters an average 107.
After all, he is the one who created based on Xiang Yu. Just this appearance is not something that ordinary people can compare with.
Every time he personally attacked the city, if Huang Zhong hadn't stopped him, it would not have been easy for Chu Xuan to repel these black and overwhelming Yellow Turban troops.
Take today as an example, three hours ago, when Yun Kuang was stopped by Huang Zhong and unable to concentrate on commanding the army, Chu Xuan immediately led his elite troops to rush forward, and then retaken the city wall and drove the Yellow Turban Army down.
……………
Although it has been three hours since the Yellow Turban Army retreated, the smell of blood left behind by the armies of both sides still gradually spread to the entire city with the wind, and even began to spread into the city, as if an atmosphere of fear slowly enveloped it.
Same in the whole city.
Chu Xuan was not surprised by the smell of blood. He just frowned slightly, and then wiped the gun head in his arms with a piece of cloth torn from the corpse of the Yellow Turban Army.
.
After all, it was already stained with a lot of blood. Even with Hongying blocking it, there were still many fish that slipped through the net and slipped down the barrel of the gun. In order not to affect the subsequent battle, Chu Xuan naturally had to wipe it off.
After chatting briefly with Huang Zhong, Chu Xuan immediately stretched his shoulders, then pulled a piece of grass from the corner of the wall beside him, put it under his nose, and sniffed greedily.
The smell of blood in the air was too strong, which had affected his ability to continue thinking about strategies, so he really needed the smell of grass that came with this small piece of grass, because it would keep him awake and not be controlled by murderous aura.
Not all generals can become people like Duan Qi and Bai Qi. The vast majority of battlefield generals end up killing too much and get lost in the killing, becoming a machine that can only kill.
Therefore, if there is no need for special circumstances, the leading general will not easily issue an order for massacre, even if it is for the sake of his own life and future.
Just when Chu Xuan was commanding the army and placing some defensive equipment at the four gates, an exclamation suddenly reached his ears.
"General, the Yellow Turbans are here again!"
After hearing this shout, Chu Xuan woke up instantly, immediately picked up the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, rushed to the city wall, and then narrowed his eyes to look at the dense yellow square formations outside the city.
In this period of more than half a month, Chu Xuan seemed to have passed a century, because in just a few days, he had experienced countless such battles.
Compared with the ordinary bandits that Chu Xuan encountered in Changsha, Guiyang and other places before, the strength and fighting quality of this group of Yellow Turbans were obviously much higher.
The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, even if they are not comparable to the regular army of the Han Dynasty, are not comparable to ordinary grass bandits. In addition, the leading general of the Yellow Turbans is even more difficult.
It can be said that in these days, Chu Xuan's commander attribute has been rising like a rocket. When he first came to Nanyang, he fought many battles with grass bandits, and his commander attribute gradually grew to 85!
After encountering Yun Kuang, even if he was on the defensive side, he was beaten throughout the whole process. If Zhao Pusheng was not good at defense and he handed over the command of the army into his hands, I am afraid that the current Yuancheng would have been destroyed.
exists.
Nowadays, Chu Xuan's command attribute, after being 'trained' by Yun Kuang, has directly broken through three points of command attribute, reaching 88. But even so, there is still a big gap against Yun Kuang, who has a basic command attribute of 96.
.
"Zhao Pusheng, Yuancheng is now under your command." Chu Xuan was never a pedantic person, so he immediately handed over the command of the entire army to Zhao Pusheng, who was best at defense.
"General, don't worry." After Zhao Pusheng took over the command of the army from Chu Xuan, he immediately issued orders in an orderly manner.
[Ding dong, Zhao Pusheng’s skill ‘Bronze Wall’ is activated;
Copper Wall: A wall made of copper, unbreakable. Different people have different effects. If you are on the same battlefield with the holder of the 'Iron Wall' skill and are in the same camp, you can trigger the combined skill 'Copper Wall'.
;
Effect 1: When leading the army in a defensive war, its own command level 3, force level 4, and the morale, combat power, speed and other comprehensive qualities of the entire army will be partially improved;
Effect 2: When the entire army suffers more than half casualties, its own commander will gain an extra 1, and the entire army will gain 1 additional force;
Effect 3: When leading an army in a water battle, you will be in command 4. The morale, combat power, speed and other comprehensive qualities of the entire army will be greatly improved;
Effect 4: When leading the army in a critical battle, your own command 2 can reduce part of the enemy's morale to a certain extent, thereby improving your own morale;
From Zhao Pusheng's skills, we can see that he is a famous general who is good at fighting, wise and brave, especially in defensive warfare and water warfare, which is simply unparalleled.
Defensive warfare can increase the command by three points, and water warfare can increase the command by four points. It can be said that even ordinary gold-level commanders do not have such a terrifying increase.
In particular, when his own army suffers more than half of its casualties, he will receive another increase in his commander's attributes, which will also cause all the officers and soldiers in the army to receive a slight increase in force.
No wonder, Zhao Pusheng can resist Xu Da, the first general in the early Ming Dynasty. It seems that it is the effect brought by the copper wall. With a commander attribute of 97 points, in a city defense battle, even Xu Da cannot achieve any results in a short time.
.
It’s no wonder that Chen Youliang began to go downhill after losing Zhao Pusheng, a top general.
You must know that Zhao Pusheng had a very high reputation in the former Tianwan regime. After all, he was a disciple of Peng Yingyu, and people like Fu Youde and others were very good friends with him.
Chen Youliang killed Zhao Pusheng, not only cutting off his arm, but also causing Fu Youde, Ding Pulang and other generals to leave, causing them to defect to Zhu Yuanzhang, which indirectly enhanced Zhu Yuanzhang's strength.
As for Chen Youliang, who had lost these famous generals, the only famous generals he could really use were Zhang Dingbian, the most powerful general in the late Yuan Dynasty, and Zhang Bixian, another sworn brother.
It's a pity that Chen Youliang was too determined to have his own way. Not only that, he was also very confident and arrogant and could not follow the good deeds. This was the real reason for his defeat.
