At the foot of Mianzhu City, Zhang Lu's army camped.
"Brother, what time has it been? Why haven't you ordered an attack yet?"
Zhang Lu was in a irritable mood, and just as he was about to take a rest, he heard his younger brother Zhang Wei walking in shouting.
"What are you yelling about! There are no rules at all!"
Faced with Zhang Lu's angry rebuke, Zhang Wei didn't take it seriously at all and sat down directly.
"Brother, we just launched a fierce attack yesterday. It seems that Mianzhu can no longer hold on. Why did it stop today?"
Yesterday, Zhang Wei personally supervised the battle. Soldiers climbed the city wall several times and started hand-to-hand combat with the Mianzhu defenders. If the attack intensity is increased today, Zhang Wei is confident that he can capture Mianzhu in one go, which is why he is so anxious.
"Hey, I don't want to attack, but the general sent by Jia Long and Ren Qi said that the soldiers are tired and must rest for a day."
Although Zhang Lu has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are still many constraints, especially the armies sent by Jia Long and Ren Qi. They all have their own generals, and they are not the only ones who follow Zhang Lu's orders!
"I knew it was these two losers who were responsible! Brother, don't count on them. Let me lead our soldiers. I will definitely capture Mianzhu today!"
"no!"
Zhang Lu's expression changed and he directly rejected Zhang Wei's proposal.
“Our brothers’ total net worth is only over 10,000 people. We must not make any mistakes!”
After more than ten days of attack, more than 10,000 Zhang Lujun corpses were left on the city wall of Mianzhu. This huge loss is definitely not something Zhang Lu can bear!
Fortunately, the more than ten days of the attack were all borne by Jia Long and Ren Qi's soldiers, so the casualties were naturally their soldiers.
It is precisely because of this that the two generals leading the army asked for a day's rest. They could not bear such a loss!
"Brother, this won't work, that won't work either, so what should we do?"
Zhang Lu glared at Zhang Wei angrily. Zhang Wei's impetuous temper gave him a headache.
"Why are you so anxious? You should be from Mianzhu City!"
Zhang Lu is very aware of the current situation of Mianzhu City. Now that the troops in the city are limited and they are being attacked from both sides, as long as there are no accidents, it will be a matter of time to capture Mianzhu City.
"Brother, can I not be in a hurry? What if Liu Zhang leads his army to come back for reinforcements? By then, it will be difficult to capture Mianzhu!"
Zhang Wei's initial idea was to rely on superior military strength and cooperate with the rebellious families in Guanghan County. The two parties worked together to capture Mianzhu in one go.
But more than ten days later, Mianzhu not only failed to capture it, but also lost more than 10,000 people!
This is just facing thousands of defenders!
Once Liu Zhang leads his army back to support, wouldn't it be possible for the whole army to be annihilated again?
"Haha, second brother, don't worry. You don't have to worry about Liu Zhang's return for help. He is already in trouble! Maybe he has become a prisoner by his subordinates now!"
Zhang Lu's words really shocked Zhang Wei, and he quickly walked to Zhang Lu and asked.
"Brother, are you serious about this?"
"certainly!"
Zhang Lu was extremely confident, with a sinister smile on his face.
"I just got the news that Zhao Wei has united with the Huang family of Ba County! Liu Zhang went to Langzhong in person. This time he will definitely not escape death!"
Only then did Zhang Wei understand why Zhang Lu didn't allow him to attack the city.
"Brother, you have to conserve your strength!"
Zhang Lu nodded, finally showing a hint of relief.
"Yes, second brother, you must remember that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests! Once we occupy Liu Zhang's territory, Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi will all become our enemies!"
"Now let Jia Long and Ren Qi's soldiers attack the city. It can not only weaken them, but also preserve our own strength. Why not?"
Seeing Zhang Lu's proud look, Zhang Wei's eyes flashed with admiration.
"As expected of the eldest brother, he is indeed far-sighted! The younger brother admires me!"
Guanghan County, Mianzhu, Prefecture Mufu.
"Don't drive, Mianzhu has been besieged for more than ten days, and soldiers have begun to suffer casualties. We have to find a way, we can't sit still and wait for death!"
Wang Shang stood beside Jia Xu, his words revealing anxiety.
"How many troops did the Wushe Battalion lose?"
Jia Xu was still very calm. Zhang Lu and the rebels in Guanghan County had besieged the city for more than ten days, but they did not make him feel any sorrow at all.
"There are about a thousand people. Zhang Lu went out of his way from yesterday and started attacking like crazy! Yesterday alone, the losses exceeded the total of the previous ten days!"
"Don't drive, we have already consumed more than half of our city defense supplies."
Qin Xun's face was also full of anxiety. If Zhang Lu continued to attack regardless of losses, it would only be a matter of time before Mianzhu was defeated!
Even if Huang Zhong and Wu Sheying can withstand it, the Mianzhu arsenal will not be able to withstand it. Most of the hundreds of thousands of arrows have been consumed!
If there were no defense supplies, Zhang Lu's army would definitely attack the city. Once the Wushe Battalion engages in hand-to-hand combat with Zhang Lujun, the casualties will definitely rise sharply.
"Well, how is the situation at the North Gate? Are there any rebels coming?"
In more than ten days, the rebels in various counties of Guanghan County have gathered more and more, and now they have no less than ten thousand people.
Fortunately, these rebels did not have siege weapons. They could only call for battle under the city all day long and had no actual attack on Mianzhu. Otherwise, the Wushe Battalion would have been exhausted.
"No new rebels have come in the past three days. They should all be here."
With the current lack of information, Qin Xun, Wang Shang and others are most worried about the situation in other counties in Guanghan County.
Especially Wang Shang!
Wang Shang is from Qixian County, Guanghan County, and the entire Wang family is also based in Qixian County. Wang Shang is worried day and night, fearing that something will go wrong in Qixian County, and even more afraid that some fools in the Wang family will follow him to rebel!
"Don't drive, we will lose if we hold on for too long! We still have to find a way to survive the crisis at hand!"
"Wang Changshi, don't worry, the sky won't fall!"
From the first day when Zhang Lu and the rebels jointly besieged Mianzhu, Jia Xu always remained calm and composed. To this day, Jia Xu still doesn't panic at all, and the enemy troops under the city are ignored by him!
Wang Shang, Qin Xun and others were also infected by Jia Xu's confidence at first, but more than ten days later, Jia Xu had no strategy except to stick to his guns, which made them nervous.
"Jia..."
Wang Shang couldn't help it anymore, and was about to ask Jia Xu if he had any strategy, but was interrupted by someone.
Huang Zhong walked in from the door with his head held high, bowed to several people, and finally looked at Jia Xu.
"Military advisor, are you looking for me?"
Jia Xu nodded slightly, looking at the majestic Huang Zhong, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Han Sheng, is there any pressure on defense?"
"Don't worry, military advisor. Within half a month, Zhang Lu can only look at the city and sigh."
Huang Zhong is so confident, Jia Xu is even more confident.
"Well, the damage in the past two days has been a bit serious?"
"Yes, Zhang Lu has been attacking very quickly since yesterday. The general is worried that the arrows will be consumed too much, thus causing some damage."
So that's it. . .
Qin Xun and others also suddenly realized that it seemed that Huang Zhong had already had a plan in mind.
"Han Sheng, there is no need to save from today on, you only need to hold on for three more days!"
Huang Zhong's eyes lit up and he became excited.
"Military advisor, do you want to start?"
Facing the confused looks of Qin Xun, Wang Shang and others, Jia Xu nodded heavily.
