Tianshui County, Yicheng.
After Cao Cao ordered all the defenders to withdraw, the entire Liangzhou became a paradise for the Qiang and Hu.
A city without soldiers is like a toothless tiger, worthless to them.
"Fire arrows hard and teach these bastards a lesson!"
"Don't fucking back! Being afraid on the battlefield will only make you die sooner!"
"Keep your head up, no one can take a step back!"
Zhao Ang loudly gave orders on the city tower. As a court official, he did not choose to leave Liangzhou like others.
This is his hometown, and there are familiar folks.
As long as he leaves Yicheng, the people who have lost their protection will become lambs to be slaughtered!
"The Duke of Zhou vomits food, and the world returns to its heart... Bah!"
Once upon a time, Cao Cao was the person Zhao Ang admired most. In order to fulfill Cao Gong's order, he even wanted to kill Ma Chao's wife and children without conscience.
Since the defeat of Hanzhong, Cao Cao knew that he could not defend Liangzhou.
Just mess it up and leave this mess to Liu Bei!
While the two heroes are fighting, the common people are innocent!
After all the county soldiers left, Liangzhou was starved to death!
There are no living Han Chinese in the village.
Zhao Ang, Wei Kang, Jiang Xu and others unanimously chose to stay to protect Liangzhou and the people.
However, a strong man without training cannot withstand the fierce attack of the Qiang and Hu.
Zhao Ang had to take the lead, allowing his men to barely resist the attacks again and again.
Liangzhou is miserable, and the people are even more miserable!
His wife Wang Yi once again came to the homes of a group of wealthy families.
She took off her jewelry and then remained in the copper basin.
"Everyone, this donation is not for others, but for yourselves."
"If the county soldiers cannot be fed, the Qiang and Hu will invade Yicheng sooner or later."
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime!"
Among the wealthy households, some donated money and some donated food. They knew it better than anyone else.
The imperial court has given up on Liangzhou, and now it has no choice but to save itself!
But Zhao Ang's ability to command troops is limited, not to mention that the county soldiers under his command are all new recruits who have just entered the battlefield!
Wuwei and Jincheng have both fallen under the iron hoof of the Qiang and Hu!
Tianshui County is close to Tongguan, and now it will also be affected.
The people didn't understand that they clearly paid taxes to King Wei.
Why did King Wei ignore them and instead withdrew the garrison that was supposed to be stationed in Liangzhou?
"Thank you all!"
Wang Yi clasped his fists again. The wealthy families were only willing to pay for food, but were unwilling to let their private soldiers go to fight.
Relying only on the weak fighting power of the ordinary people, Zhao Ang knew that it was only a matter of time before the city fell.
Pao Ze, who was beside him one moment, would turn into a corpse the next moment.
"Husband, the Qiang people are here again!"
"Damn, how many times a day do you have to come!"
Zhao Ang shouted: "Everyone, prepare to fight! Raise your shields and protect yourself and your archer brothers!"
"As long as our city gate is not lost, these bastards can't even try to break in!"
Zhao Ang commanded Ruoding, and then signaled Wang Yi to step down from the tower.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi bent his bow and stood behind Zhao Ang.
"You and I are husband and wife, so naturally we have to go into battle together!"
Seeing the general's wife personally attending the battlefield, the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, and they once again resisted the Qiang and Hu's attack tenaciously.
However, after this battle, Yicheng lost two hundred men!
"If it were the previous defenders, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties."
Zhao Ang felt bitter in his heart. He couldn't ask for too much. If these men were willing to come up to defend the city, they were already first-class heroes!
You are just a simple farmer, how have you ever seen Qiang Hu riding and shooting?
On the battlefield, the most fearful thing is to be in a hurry. No matter how powerful Zhao Ang is, he cannot train them into veterans of hundreds of battles in a short period of time.
"Husband, do you think there will be reinforcements from the imperial court?"
Wang Yi leaned on Zhao Ang's shoulder. She didn't know how much patience the wealthy families in the city had.
If the people are allowed to go up to defend the city, it will only be a matter of time before Yicheng is captured.
"No, there will be no reinforcements. We are the ones who have been abandoned."
Zhao Ang smiled bitterly and said: "On the contrary, I hope Liu Bei can attack, so that at least the people can have a way to survive!"
Wang Yi didn't reply, she had already fallen asleep.
Zhao Ang recalled Ma Chao, if General Shenweitian was here, how could the Qiang people dare to be so rampant?
It's a pity that neither Cao Cao nor Ma Chao is the British leader of Liangzhou!
The next day.
It was dawn, and the Qiang cavalry had mounted their horses, preparing to attack the city again.
These Qiang people treated the people of Yicheng as playthings.
When they want to play, they will attack on horseback, and they will laugh when they see the people defending the city being shot.
Even if the untrained people use bows and arrows to fight back, it will only be a waste of arrows.
The Qiang people retreated quickly after shooting an arrow, giving them no chance to fight back.
Wang Yibao calmed down and shot another arrow, killing a Qiang soldier.
Wang Yi's actions obviously angered these Qiang people, and they began to launch a fierce attack!
Under the neighing of the war horses, the Yicheng defenders ushered in the enemy's arrow rain!
Arrows kept coming, and the defenders had no time to raise their shields, and they immediately let out a wailing sound!
"Damn it! Hold up your shield! How many times have I said that!"
Zhao Ang's eyes turned red. He didn't want to see his men die like this again!
"General!"
Zhao Ang stepped forward and raised his shield to block the incoming arrows. He protected a soldier who was almost shot.
"We are finished...we can't hold on at all..."
"Squat down, don't fucking stand up!"
Zhao Ang was furious. The guy in front of him finally saved his life, but his confidence collapsed!
Whoosh!
The Qiang cavalry would not miss such a living target, and one arrow pierced this man's head!
When a person dies, you can ignore everything, but the living must continue to struggle to live!
Zhao Ang was already desperate. There were only a thousand Qiang cavalry, which was nothing in his eyes.
It's just that there are fewer defenders in Yicheng, only less than 300 people!
Dust and smoke were rising behind the Qiang cavalry, and Wang Yi also looked unkind.
If the opponent only has a thousand people, she still has the confidence to hold on.
But looking at that posture, there will definitely be no shortage of troops coming!
"Wang Yi, take the children and leave!"
Zhao Ang gritted his teeth and said: "Those bastards must be ready to escape. They will leave secret passages in their homes!"
Zhao Ang planned to defend the city to the death and give Wang Yi and his children a chance to escape.
…
Ten miles away.
The Han army led by Liu Mang finally entered Liangzhou.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived, I saw a group of Qiang cavalry attacking the Han city.
"Your Majesty, that's Yicheng."
Ma Chao pointed his gun at the city and recalled: "Zhao Ang, the guard here, and his wife Wang Yi almost captured my wife and children!"
Ma Chao obviously wanted revenge, but Liu Mang ignored him and gave the order directly.
"Get ready for battle, leave no Qiang and Hu alive!"
promise!
The Han army was so powerful!
