Before Shi Dakai's army arrived, Guo Wei prepared for these local troops to fight against Shi Dakai's Yellow Turban Army first.
Although their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Liangshan army, under Guo Wei's training these days, they are definitely much stronger than before.
In Guo Wei's view, no matter how powerful Shi Dakai is, he will still pay some price when facing the Han army with the advantage of the city wall.
However, the final result was beyond Guo Wei's expectation.
The Han army, which had the advantage of the city wall, actually achieved such results, even though they were local armies before this.
"General, there is nothing we can do about it. Most of these soldiers are local soldiers and their combat effectiveness is average. However, I believe that after this life-and-death battle, they will definitely be reborn!" Wang Lin comforted him.
"Yes, after this battle, Shi Dakai will definitely be cautious. At least before Zhang Jiao's army comes, he will not dare to attack the south gate of Xingyang City at will." At this time, Fang Xuanling, a military advisor, said.
"Oh, what do you mean by this, military advisor?" Liu Che asked in confusion. After all, the Han army only fought one to three with Shi Dakai today and did not show much strength in combat.
If he were Shi Dakai, he would seize this opportunity and launch a fierce attack on the south gate of Xingyang City. If Guo Wei sent troops to support him, he could seize this opportunity and seek an opportunity to break the city.
Fang Xuanling shook his head when he heard this. Although Liu Che had the talent to lead troops, his talent was only for ordinary people. He was still far from understanding the thoughts in the mind of a famous general like Shi Dakai.
"Shi Dakai is an extraordinary person. He should have seen that the South Gate defenders are all local troops with weak combat effectiveness. Of course, this weak combat effectiveness is not really weak."
"After experiencing this blood and growth, they will definitely undergo transformation. If my prediction is correct, General Guo wanted to take advantage of Shi Dakai's Yellow Turban Army from the beginning and use them as a whetstone." Fang Xuanling said here.
When he saw it, he immediately glanced at Guo Wei.
"Sir, what you said is true. Wei really thinks so. That's why he agreed to Shi Dakai's fighting general just to let him attack the city and take the opportunity to train the local troops in the flames of war."
"It's just that Wei didn't expect that Shi Dakai was so powerful. The three of us were no match for him. Moreover, General Shi Hongzhao was seriously injured and his life was at stake." Guo Wei gritted his teeth and said.
Guo Wei's hatred for Shi Dakai became even deeper when he thought that Shi Hongzhao was severely injured by Shi Dakai in order to save him.
While everyone was chatting, the military doctor on the side came over. Seeing this, Guo Wei quickly asked about Shi Hongzhao's situation.
"Military doctor, how is General Shi Hongzhao's condition now?" Guo Wei asked quickly.
"General Qi, General Shi Hongzhao, has left." After the military doctor said this, he immediately knelt on the ground. He naturally knew the relationship between Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei.
But now, Shi Hongzhao is in his hands and has not been rescued. He is really afraid that Guo Wei will let him be buried with Shi Hongzhao in anger, so he is trying his best to reduce his sense of existence.
"Brother Hongzhao." After hearing that Shi Hongzhao was killed in battle, the little bit of luck in Guo Wei's heart completely disappeared.
"Shi...Da...Open!" Guo Wei looked in the direction of the Yellow Turban camp and said word by word, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.
"Excuse me, the two military advisors, to discuss the plan for tonight's night attack. When the plan is complete, you will order someone to call me. I will go to the room to rest first."
Guo Wei glanced at Fang Xuanling and Zhu Wu who were beside him, immediately spoke, and then walked into the room alone.
"General, my condolences!" When the matter reached this point, Fang Xuanling and everyone present could only offer words of comfort to Guo Wei.
After Guo Wei left, several people thought together about how to achieve excellent results in today's night attack.
At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army camped.
"Haha, congratulations, brother. Today we fought one against three and severely injured a Han general. If nothing else happens, that Han general will definitely die today!" Zhu Banjin laughed loudly after he came back.
"Yes, the Han army has lost a strong general today, and its morale will definitely drop. Tomorrow our army can take advantage of the situation and attack. Before the follow-up army of Daliang Xianshi arrives, we can successfully capture the city of Xingyang in front of us!" Ao Shen
It is also full of confidence.
"Two generals, your thinking is too simplistic. Although Brother Daandang has severely injured a Han general today, it will not demoralize the Han army."
"As for the Han army fighting today, from my general point of view, it is just a local army that has withdrawn from the place where Yin has given up in Henan. If it is really Guo Wei's Liangshan Army, today, I dare not fight Guo Wei three times.
More than an hour." Yang Xiuqing hit the nail on the head.
When Ao Shen and Zhu Banjin heard this, they were immediately surprised. Apparently, it was not just an ordinary local army, but the Yellow Turban Army could actually pay more than 4,000 casualties.
"Whether or not we should attack tomorrow, or how we should attack, is not a discussion for now. Our army must be careful of the Han army's night attack today. Guo Wei has suffered such a big loss today, and there is a high probability that he will regain his position in the evening." Shi Dakai
He spoke.
"Don't worry, general. I will arrange for all battalions to be on guard now. If the Han army dares to come, they will never come back." Yang Xiuqing immediately stood up and said.
At this time, Shi Dakai looked up in the direction of Xingyang City and murmured to himself: "Guo Wei, I will be waiting for you tonight. I hope you can bring me some surprises."
Late this night.
Until midnight, there was no sign of the Xingyang defenders in the city moving out. This made Shi Dakai a little confused as to whether Guo Wei had given up the night attack.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Shi Dakai made a judgment for himself in his heart.
After all, the fact that the Han general named Shi Hongzhao was able to save Guo Wei with his own life today is enough to prove that their relationship is definitely more than just a relationship between a superior and a subordinate.
It's about the life-and-death brotherhood between him and Ao Shen and Zhu Banjin.
At the ugly hour, the defenders in Xingyang City were still silent. Now, the Yellow Turban Army could no longer hide the sleepiness in their hearts.
"Brother, the soldiers can no longer withstand it. Will the Han army really launch an attack? Why is there no movement yet?" Zhu Banjin yawned and said sleepily.
"If the Han army really doesn't come after holding on for a while, let the brothers go down and have a good rest!" Shi Dakai said helplessly.
At this moment, he no longer had the confidence he had a few hours ago that the Han army would launch an attack on his own army at night.
Just as Shi Da was happily tossing and turning, the night attack army that had rested for several hours in Xingyang City was finally about to take action.
