After a while, a raging fire broke out at the mouth of the valley.
Although the fire did not spread immediately, the billowing smoke poured into the valley under the influence of the wind.
Wang Li and others asked thousands of archers to wait outside the entrance of the valley. As soon as Fan Hanzhong's men rushed out, they would release arrows immediately.
"General!"
"Ahem! If this continues, even if the soldiers are not rushed in, they will be killed by the smoke!"
"Let's rush out!"
A general said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Ahem!"
"Order everyone to pour urine on their clothes and cover their mouths and noses!"
"Now they must be ambushing outside the entrance of the valley, just waiting for us to rush out. If we rush out now, we will die!"
"Tell the brothers to hold on a little longer!"
"Reinforcements will be arriving soon!"
Fan Hanzhong shouted to everyone.
"General!"
"Where are the reinforcements coming from?!"
"Our message cannot be sent out at all!"
"And based on the number of people they charged just now, it can be seen that there are probably tens of thousands of them outside this time!"
"Even if someone can come to help, I'm afraid they won't be able to break through!"
"General, let me lead a charge once, and you follow me and charge out!"
"As long as you are alive, General, there is hope for our troops!"
A general said anxiously to Fan Hanzhong.
"Bad boy!"
"Is it so difficult for me to speak?!"
"Just wait if I ask you to wait!"
"I'm telling you, if I say there are reinforcements, they must-"
Before Fan Hanzhong finished speaking, he suddenly heard a cry of death coming from outside.
Everyone around Fan Hanzhong was stunned.
I had no idea what was going on outside, but judging from the sounds of fighting, there were definitely a lot of people coming.
Everyone looked at each other, could it be said that the capital has been captured?
Did they just look in the same direction as before?
But at this time, everyone was already dizzy from the smoke and had no time to think too much.
Fortunately, after a while, no one was taking care of the fire, and the smoke gradually became smaller.
"The person inside, I am the governor of Hezhou, Zhang Bao!"
"Are there any of our people?!"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the valley entrance.
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed!
"Zhangzhou Mu!"
"General Fan is here!"
"Fuck! General Fan has fainted!"
"Come on!"
Several generals shouted at Zhang Bao outside.
After a while, Zhang Bao led a team of people and rushed in from the smoke.
"Made!"
"Is this old guy desperate for his life?!"
"You're just stuck here with so many people?"
"quick!"
"Carry it out quickly!"
"Everyone who can move must come out on their own!"
"Give it to our people if you can't move it!"
Zhang Bao shouted to the people inside.
turn out to be.
This valley is on the route that Zhang Bao and the others took to the capital.
Fan Hanzhong had known about the news that Dongzhou and the others were leading their troops to support the capital before, and also heard that Princess Yongtai had entered Xiazhou from Huizhou to unite the previous troops.
Fan Hanzhong thought with his toes and knew that the person leading this team must be Zhang Bao!
otherwise.
How could that guy let Princess Yongtai come out on her own?
He himself must be following Princess Yongtai.
For Fan Hanzhong now.
The time has been calculated long ago.
So even if they were surrounded by a small number of people, for Fan Hanzhong, it had been calculated long ago.
But what I didn't expect was that Wang Li and the others would actually set fire. In the valley just now, even if Fan Hanzhong was strong, he couldn't withstand the smoke.
If Zhang Bao and the others hadn't arrived in time, Fan Hanzhong and the others might have been in danger.
"You boy!"
"Why did you come here!"
Fan Hanzhong woke up faintly from the water and saw Zhang Bao's anxious expression.
"You old thing!"
"Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
"If you die, how will I explain to Xixue?"
"Just let me recuperate in the back. From now on, I won't need you anymore!"
Zhang Bao said to Fan Hanzhong angrily.
When Zhang Bao rushed in and saw that Fan Hanzhong was surrounded by only a few thousand troops, he already scolded Fan Hanzhong in his heart. Fan Hanzhong is really good, you think you are Li Yunlong!
He clearly has hundreds of thousands of people under his command, but why would he lead such a few thousand people as a death squad?
Is it a tiger? !
"How many troops did you bring?"
"Where are those people who were blocked here just now?"
Fan Hanzhong asked as he was helped up.
"A hundred thousand or so!"
"Xixue has made great achievements along the way. She has helped tens of thousands of people along the way!"
"Many people have defected to our side, and there are also many people who are temporarily willing to serve as soldiers. Look at them!"
"The gang was beaten away just now, and our people have already caught up. Just wake up. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I heard that the capital has not been captured yet, so I will go with my troops first!"
Zhang Bao was relieved to see that Fan Hanzhong was fine.
He quickly led everyone and rushed towards the capital.
"His grandma's little brat, I am your elder after all!"
"How long have you been fighting? You dare to command me?!"
"Everyone, follow me!"
"Let's go to the capital too!"
Fan Hanzhong shouted angrily.
Leading his thousands of troops, he also headed towards the capital.
At this time, the capital city was already a terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The city gate that had finally been opened with great difficulty was now completely blocked by corpses.
The entire city gate cave was filled with corpses, and it was impossible to rush in from here.
The siege vehicles at the other two city gates had also been completely destroyed. Fan Hanzhong's men, led by several generals, attacked the inside of the city one after another.
Throughout this day and night, the attacks did not stop.
Both sides suffered casualties.
More importantly, Fan Hanzhong's food and grass have been exhausted.
Although a lot of food and grass were mobilized from Hezhou before departure, a lot of food and grass was consumed along the way.
And once the war started, the transportation of grain and grass became a big problem.
The entire logistics supply line is in chaos.
A lot of waste was caused.
When Zhang Bao brought everyone here, even though he was mentally prepared in advance, he was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him.
The scene of hundreds of thousands of people strangled together in a melee is no longer enough to be described in any words.
"Order everyone to withdraw!"
"If we continue like this, our men will be wiped out!"
As soon as Zhang Bao arrived, he saw the problem.
It's obvious that Cao Kang has made sufficient preparations. If he continues to fight like this, even if he can get in, he will have to pay an extremely heavy price.
