Chapter 291 The Attack and Defense of Zhangye City
"My lord, it's too risky for them!"
"If I wait to put all my eggs in one basket, they will inevitably lose a lot!"
"Are you really planning to hurt both sides without leaving a trace of sympathy?"
Zhao Zilong said angrily.
In the past, no matter how you say it, I worked in Liu Bei's hands for ten years,
There is hard work without credit. I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so ruthless.
"In the face of power, all affection is false!"
"Everyone wants to be the Lord of the World!"
"Since we have been repeatedly violated, it means that people have already ignored us!"
"They have also made plans to wipe out the entire army!"
"Zilong, you have to understand this!"
"Otherwise it's easy to be deceived by their appearance!"
Jiang Chen warned.
"How dare they do that!"
"Despite the lives of tens of thousands of people!"
"It's too cruel!"
"The last general really doesn't understand. Didn't Uncle Liu always call himself benevolent and righteous?"
"Why are you so ruthless?"
Zhao Zilong looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
This is somewhat beyond his understanding of Liu Bei.
For ten years, Zhao Zilong thought that he already knew Liu Bei very well, and that he was willing to be the master of the world.
A person who is willing to plead for the people.
When they fled, they would bring those common people with them.
Is it all a disguise?
"As a superior, who really cares about human life?"
"As long as it threatens their country!"
"They will show an extremely cruel side!"
"The reality is so cruel, and I am playing with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in my hands!"
"It is also manipulating their life and death!"
Jiang Chen sighed.
"My lord is different from others!"
"My lord is the one who truly loves the people!"
"Just because of the existence of the lord, it threatens the rule of others!"
"That's why I want to kill the lord and hurry up!"
Zhao Zilong shook his head.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, he had completely given up.
There is no longer any expectation for Liu Bei.
"Forget it, don't mention this!"
"Get ready to fight!"
Jiang Chen diverted from this topic, it was a bit heavy.
As a modern man who sees hundreds of people die before his eyes every day,
Moreover, he manipulated it all by himself. This kind of mood must be understood by many people.
He is not kind, but because of guilt.
Those who are many should not be sacrificed in vain,
Although most people feel that he has done well enough, he still feels that it is not good enough.
He doesn't want any sacrifices, he wants to keep everyone alive.
"Yes, my lord!"
On the other side, the border town of Xiliang.
Zhangye City, this is a desolate small town,
In this small city, the outside is full of yellow sand.
Because it is close to the desert area, the daily wind and sand are very strong,
Every day I wake up, the whole town will be covered with a layer of yellow sand.
The entire Zhangye city is full of houses made of huge stones.
This is the Han Dynasty in order to open up the Silk Road,
It cost a huge price to build a desolate small city here.
However, although this small city is desolate, the city is very prosperous.
Because it is a city that must pass through the Silk Road, many businessmen settle in it.
But now some are really sparsely populated,
Due to successive years of wars in the Central Plains, merchants in the Central Plains rarely took the Silk Road.
Most merchants from the Western Regions dare not come to the Central Plains to do business again.
At this time, it is to give money to others.
Everything will be robbed, and there is nowhere to redress.
"drive!!"
"Da da."
Suddenly, outside the quiet city of Zhangye, a gust of wind and sand rolled up a sandstorm,
Sweeping towards Zhangfu City, the battle was palpitating.
"How is this going?"
Some people staying in Zhangye City looked at the sandstorm in the sky and asked worriedly.
"It must be a horse bandit. The wind and sand in nature are different from the wind and sand formed by horses!"
"This spread has a wide range, and it can be seen that it was caused by the fast running of the horse!"
As long as the people who often live in the city understand.
However, some newcomers to Zhangye City obviously don't understand these phenomena.
"How should this be?"
"Look at this battle, there should be a lot of people!"
"Let's run away!"
Some people said worriedly.
"Escape? Where are you going?"
"If you escape, you will die faster. Isn't there an army defending the city?"
"With them here, they should be able to block one or two!"
"I heard that the cavalry of the Guishuang Empire are attacking this time!"
"There are hundreds of thousands of troops, how can this few people stop it, I think this time, I am going to die!"
"No way, the Guishuang Empire came to attack the Central Plains?"
"Could it be that they are afraid to eat leopards, those damn savages!"
"How about, let's help defend the city together. Once the city is broken, I'm done waiting!"
"Forget it. I heard that they are the Hanzhong Army. I seldom heard of them before. Aren't they Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry?"
For the so-called Hanzhong Army,
In this border town, not much is known.
Because most of the people here are small businessmen, and there are no businessmen from the Central Plains recently,
They seem to be isolated, and they don't know the changes in the Central Plains at all.
In the past, I only knew Ximen cavalry, which was extremely fierce.
As long as those Huns dared to invade, they would be overthrown by Xiliang cavalry.
"You guys definitely don't understand, Xiliang cavalry are all in the past tense!"
"I heard from a distant cousin of mine that the Hanzhong Army annexed the Xiliang Army!"
"The Hanzhong army that came today has Ma Chao's Xiliang iron cavalry!"
"Therefore, the fighting power must be stronger!"
"Really? Then I can rest assured, but hundreds of thousands can't defend against it!"
"This city wall is so low, I'm going to die!"
There are about two hundred people hiding in the city lord's mansion, and they are all reluctant to part with Zhangye City's family property.
So unwilling to leave, Zhou Yu had no choice but to arrange them here.
"I hope to win!!"
"I don't want to be a prisoner of the barbarians, that would be miserable!"
In the border city, many people knew what would happen to the captives.
If they were caught by those prairie people, they would basically end up as slaves.
Men act as slaves, working every day and still not getting enough to eat.
Those who have a hard life can hardly persist for two years, and they will be tortured to death in the grassland.
Either be frozen to death, or starved to death, or beaten to death
Those prairie people are very cruel to the Central Plains people, and they don't cherish their lives at all.
Anyway, in the second year, they can go to the Central Plains to plunder again.
"General, it's Zhangye City!"
"As long as you win this city, you can rest in the city for one night!"
"There should be a lot of merchants inside, with a lot of money, and a brothel."
A few miles away, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Guishuang Empire were rushing towards Zhangye City.
The leader of the group was completely black, like a piece of black charcoal.
He is the commander-in-chief of the Guishuang Empire this time - Habula Deng.
"Kill all!"
"Steal it all!!"
