The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 84 Attacking the city again?

"I'm a little scared now..."

As the battle intensified, some enemy arrows were already able to reach Liu Xie.

Even the large shield held by Xu Huang was pierced with several trembling arrow feathers.

No wonder history books often record that certain famous generals were shot to death by stray arrows...

The stray arrow may not seem to have much power, but sometimes it can be really fatal!

"Your Majesty, would you like to find some more guards?"

Faced with Xu Huang's proposal, Liu Xie shook his head.

Meiwu originally had few soldiers.

Gao Shun is now almost calculating everything and using every bit of military force to the best effect.

If he called more soldiers to come and protect himself, it would easily make the already precious military force even more stretched.

What's more.

Liu Xie sat here to help boost the morale of the Han army.

If my presence would affect the Han army, I might as well walk down the city wall early and stay inside without coming out.

"Zixun is in command. I am safe here."

Xu Huang glanced at the surrounding layout and agreed.

"The current imperial court is truly filled with hidden talents. That general named Gao Shun is truly amazing!"

Gao Shun’s military tactics were not like those of ordinary people.

Each of his deployments was extremely extreme, but there was no trouble at all.

Under his arrangement, the large crossbows on the city wall almost never stopped firing, and every gap in the parapet was filled with Han soldiers at all times, preventing the Qiang people below from setting foot on the city wall!
Such sophisticated methods of deploying troops cannot be learned from reading military books.

"Gongming, how did you learn how to fight?"

Gao Shun was not born into a wealthy family, and Xu Huang was not born into a prominent family either. The two should have had many similarities when they were learning military tactics.

Xu Huang paused for a while, as if thinking.

"I have lost many battles."

?

"What I'm asking is how you learned the art of war."

"I have lost many battles."

Xu Huang continued, "I was once killed and left alone. I was once killed and had to hide in the mountains and forests, living on insects and snakes."

"So what I have learned is never the art of war, but how to avoid losing a battle."

Liu Xie understood.

"So that's it."

……

Three poles in the sun.

The long war of attrition made the Han army defending the city somewhat tired.

Too many Qiang soldiers who had come here like ants had turned into corpses, piled up under the city wall.

The Han army above also began to suffer casualties.

At least ten.

At least ten soldiers were carried away from Liu Xie.

Liu Xie tried his best not to look at the soldiers who died in the battle, but sat upright and looked straight ahead.

My back and waist are so sore that they are numb.

But Liu Xie still sat under the dragon banner.

Liu Xie didn't know whether it was any use for him to sit here.

But this may be the only thing he can do.

Another hour passed.

The momentum weakened.

Several people died.

Another hour passed.

The momentum suddenly became huge.

This time more people died.

Although Liu Xie was still looking at the battlefield, he no longer knew where to look.

at last.

A burst of rapid knocking sounds came from the enemy's camp.

"Your Majesty! They're retreating!"

The remaining soldiers on the city wall suddenly cheered.

Liu Xie also wanted to cheer.

But I don't know if I am being too hypocritical. Although I didn't fight in the battlefield, Liu Xie was so tired that he didn't even have the energy to celebrate. He just relaxed his tense back a little.

"His Majesty!"

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who had been fighting on the front line, also arrived at this moment.

Both of them had a fishy smell, and layers of blood were stuck to their armor and skin, looking extremely horrifying.

Liu Xie did not ask about the battle situation, nor did he ask how long they could hold out.

I just said: "Thank you for your hard work, go to bed early today."

Gao Shun bowed and said: "The enemy army has failed to attack the city in one day. It is very likely that they will attack the city at night. I dare not take off my armor!"

The same is true for Zhang Liao.

Han Sui's reckless attack almost exposed his determination.

Although attacking a city at night is a taboo, we must still guard against it.

"Your Majesty, I request that we guard the city together tonight."

Xu Huang, who had held up a big shield for Liu Xie for a day, also believed that Han Sui was likely to attack the city tonight.

This is not something recorded in any military book, but the experience Xu Huang gained from losing and losing all the time.

"I understand. I'll have someone boil some more hot water for you so you can at least wash your face and have a sip of hot soup."

"Since you are here, I feel at ease."

Liu Xie stood up, his back looking extremely handsome.

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Gao Shun, three famous generals defended the city... Liu Xie really couldn't think of anyone under the city who could break through Meiwu.

Now Liu Xie just wants to have a good sleep on the bed.

Originally, Liu Xie wanted to see what the concubine who could charm both Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu looked like. But at this moment, Liu Xie had no interest at all. Even if a great beauty came before him, he would not move at all.

When Liu Xie entered the house, he knelt down on his knees and collapsed directly on the couch. He was like a completely different person from the one he was outside.

My eyelids closed slightly, and my consciousness almost instantly began to blur. I was about to fall asleep, chatting with the old man Zhou Gong about the issue of his successor...

……

"Squeak."

Door sound!

A slight sound suddenly woke Liu Xie up and his hair stood on end!

Ignoring the pain in his body, he picked up the lamp on the table and smashed it over!
"Oh!"

The lamp did not hit the target, but broke into pieces on the ground.

"Where did the girl come from?"

Liu Xie came to his senses at this moment and saw clearly that the person who made the noise was just a delicate-looking girl.

If it were an ordinary day, even if Liu Xie heard the noise, he would definitely not react so violently.

But today, after sitting on the city wall for a whole day and watching the fighting for a whole day, Liu Xie's nerves have already been broken to the limit!

The sound of the door just now seemed to have hit Liu Xie's string, breaking it completely.

The person who came in was actually Weiyang Jun Dong Bai.

Although trespassing into the emperor's bedroom was a serious crime, Liu Xie's residence was guarded by soldiers.

But this Meiwu is her home after all.

The place where Liu Xie lived was the main courtyard of Meiwu, where Dong Zhuo usually lived.

There were too many paths leading to this courtyard that only she knew, and the imperial guards were in a hurry today and had no time to search. So she easily sneaked into the main courtyard, wanting to see what the "Son of Heaven" mentioned by Cai Yan looked like.

Unexpectedly.

The emperor's face was not seen.

Instead, I saw a terrifying lamp!

The lamp almost flew past Dong Bai's head!

Like Liu Xie, Dong Bai, who had been worried all day, had also reached his limit of mental exhaustion.

then--

"Wow!!!!"

The crying was deafening!

The Han army who had just eaten two mouthfuls of hot food in the fortress looked surprised.

"The bandits are attacking the city again???"
