NOVEL NEXT Chapter 696
Chapter 712 Acting And Cheating
Chang’an City has survived thousands of years without falling.
The mottled marks on the wall tiles tell people how it has changed over the millennia.
Outside the east gate.
The thunderous cries broke Chang’an City, which had been calm for many days. Deputy General Wang Chong hurried to the city wall with a group of generals.
Standing at a high place and looking from afar, I saw that the two teams were fighting together, and it was hard to tell the winner.
On one side stands the banner Liu, on the other side stands the banner Xue.
Wang Chong stared at the melee outside, and his brows became a line.
“Tell me what’s going on here? Is it our reinforcements?”
Wang Chong’s voice trembled, both excited and worried.
Excitedly, he finally reached the reinforcements of the imperial court. As long as these reinforcements entered the city, the city of Chang’an would be defended in his hands. Not to mention anything else, this alone was a great achievement.
The worry is that the reinforcements came out a bit strange, how could they appear at this time, and how did Liu Bei know that the reinforcements arrived today?
Naturally, the rest of the captains did not know about his complicated heart.
Why didn’t they suffer during this time? When they saw the reinforcements at this moment, no one questioned them, and they all said: “Xue definitely refers to General Xue Rengui, maybe he came in person.
“We must go out of the city and support General Xue. If we can kill Liu Bei’s morale before His Majesty arrives, we can save some face.”
After the colonel finished speaking, the rest agreed: “Yes, General Pang De’s entire army was wiped out because of his dedication to meritorious service, and our Xiliang army has lost all face.”
“It can be said that even if His Majesty doesn’t blame it, it will be difficult for us to raise our heads in the army in the future, so we must do something, and we can’t sit back and wait for death, which will weaken the prestige of our Xiliang iron cavalry.”
All the captains discussed and expressed their opinions.
But most suggested to take the initiative and welcome reinforcements into the city.
But these people’s suggestions made Wang Chong a little embarrassed.
It was a great achievement for him to defend Chang’an City, but going out of the city to meet him would involve great risks.
What if Xue Rengui couldn’t hold it any longer? Those who didn’t say it out had to stay there, and the city of Chang’an wouldn’t be able to hold it either.
And if he didn’t go out, with the nearly ten thousand people in the city, he had the confidence to hold on for two days.
Since reinforcements arrive today, the army must be behind, why not wait?
After having this plan, Wang Chong opened his mouth and said, “Everyone, listen to me.”
“General Pang De’s defeat, this is something we can’t stop. We also suggested to him at the beginning to report to His Majesty first, and he is making a decision. 99
“But General Pound went his own way, causing the danger of Chang’an City.
“We went out of the city to attack, we could face our courage, but it did not restore the current decline.
“Only by guarding Chang’an City and ensuring the arrival of His Majesty’s reinforcements can our prestige be preserved.”
“So I think it is absolutely impossible to go out, we must firmly hold Chang’an City.
These impassioned words poured cold water on everyone who wanted to go out.
Those captains also began to calculate in their hearts, the pros and cons of sending troops.
After calculating in their hearts, except for a few people, most of them were silent.
Wang Chong was secretly delighted, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he continued to speak: “Since everyone has no opinion, just cheer up, and everyone will not leave the city.
“I believe that General Xue Rengui will definitely defeat Liu Bei and save us.”
After saying this, he turned his attention to the battlefield again.
At the rear of the battlefield, Liu Bei and Fazheng watched the big play directed by their own hands, and their proud expressions were beyond words.
・・・・・Seeking flowers………
It’s just that as time went by, the city gate did not open, which made Liu Bei a little disappointed.
“Sir, it seems that the generals guarding the city still have some palaces, but they are not taking the bait and are still hesitating.
“Could it be that you saw a flaw in it?”
Fazheng shook his head: “Absolutely impossible, we used their clothes and cleaned them all, and the defenders on the city were not familiar with the rest of Liu Bian’s generals, so it was impossible to see through.
“It is estimated that they are greedy for life and fear of death, and want to sit back and enjoy the success, so they dare not come out. 35
“Ha ha….
After laughing a few times, Fa Zheng said, “My lord, you have to be a little more ruthless.”
“Let General Guan be serious and hurt a few people.”
“Xue Rengui’s side retreated and retreated towards Chang’an City.””
“Everything went as planned yesterday.
Liu Bei nodded and whispered to the soldiers beside him.
It took only a single stick of incense to convey the order, and a change occurred on the battlefield that was originally evenly matched.
The troops under the word ‘Xue’ suddenly scattered into pieces, each fled, except for a few thousand people who gathered under the banner, the rest of them all fled for their lives, and they were embarrassed.
As for the team under the banner with the word ‘Liu’ written on it, they were unusually heroic, and they pursued everywhere, but their bravery was unstoppable.
This scene fell into the eyes of Wang Chong on the city wall, and his face immediately sank.
The expressions of the rest of the lieutenants were naturally not good either. How could they accept that the reinforcements they had given them high hopes were scattered like this?
“General Wang, what should we do?
All the captains turned their attention to Wang Chong again, waiting for him to make up his mind.
