Chapter 1150: Heavy Loss
News from various armies began to reach Zhang Liona.
Zhang Liao was on the battlefield, surrounded by a circle of torches, and the messengers could easily find him.
There are two breakthroughs in the south gate.
The East Gate made three breakthroughs.
After the north gate was attacked, it was driven down again.
Simon also made two breakthroughs.
When the news came, the enemy was indeed caught off guard by them. Although they were prepared, they did not expect this to be a full-scale attack.
The generals in the city tried their best to defend, but they were still broken through one after another.
In a short period of time, they were suddenly attacked, and many soldiers on the city were killed by several rounds of arrow rain, causing them to have no time to support, and the head of the city was killed by the enemy.
Zhang Xiu had already fallen asleep, but he was in the military camp not far from the city.
The yelling woke him up.
"Quick, all go to support, the enemy is total."
"Go and deliver the order."
Zhang Xiu got up and rushed to the top of the city with an army.
There will be no sleep tonight, and neither will the rest of the army.
Zhang Xiu hurried to the top of the city, and when he arrived, he found that the top of the city had been broken through by the enemy.
"You guys, go to support the eldest son, you guys, follow me to the rescue." Zhang Xiu divided the army he brought into two parts.
Zhang Xiu went to the top of the city and killed an enemy.
More news reached Zhang Liao, and all four city walls were breached.
"Let all the armies step up to attack the city gate and open the city gate for me."
The city gates are not easy to attack, but tonight, the top of the city was breached, and the defenders at each city gate decreased a lot, and they failed to get support in time.
It was very chaotic on the top of the city, and a large number of troops rushed up, inflicting great damage on them.
Datang's army killed them in a short time,
This made the armies very excited.
Several armies ordered the young general to lead his troops to kill them himself.
Some generals in the middle and lower ranks led their troops and horses to go into battle in person.
With them joining, the strength will be much stronger.
All the armies went up and fought fiercely on the top of the city.
Cao Ang led his army to put out the fire everywhere, and people were killed on every wall. If they were not driven down, the city would be destroyed.
"Send someone to block the city gates quickly, go quickly."
Killing and killing, Cao Ang found that the enemy was attacking the city gate. If the city gate was broken, it would be meaningless for them to persist here.
Under the city, Datang's army has indeed been storming the city gate. The city gate is already trembling and is about to be breached.
The city was in chaos, and Datang's army kept attacking.
Many young generals personally led troops to fight on the top of the city. They fought to the death without retreating, so that more people could come up.
Thousands of people have already been killed, and Cao Jun rushed to support them and fought on the top of the city.
The news was continuously gathered to Zhang Liao.
"After tonight, even if you can't break through the city, the difficulty will be greatly reduced."
Zhang Liao understood that tonight would definitely inflict heavy damage on the enemy, especially psychologically.
They easily killed the top of the city, and it is not difficult to kill them later.
They see no hope in the city, and if there is no ideal, then some people are bound to collapse.
An army without faith, even relying on the talents of the general, cannot make them fight to the death.
At the beginning, Zhang Yu's army fought to the death to the last man, even if he was injured and the last man left, he still charged towards the enemy.
Their army is an ideal and thoughtful army, and its morale will not fluctuate greatly due to changes in conditions.
"Order, all the troops press up, and let the archers get ready to respond."
Zhang Liao wanted to give it a try to see if he could break through the city directly. If he couldn't, he had to have the archers ready to respond at any time.
The whole army received the order and all appeared below the city. Of course, the city cannot accommodate so many people.
But so many people cheering and cheering outside the city can also make the enemies on the city terrified.
"Kill them all, end the war, and go home as soon as possible."
"Kill, if we win, we will be able to go home soon."
"Break through the city and head towards Luoyang."
"assault."
The morale of the soldiers who went up was very high, and they rushed forward desperately.
Attack, and then attack, one dead and three on.
The place above the city is relatively small, and the two sides fought fiercely in the small place.
Some Cao Jun had never seen such a battle, and they were really scared.
It doesn't matter if they are not afraid, what they are facing is a pack of wolf-like troops.
General Cao Jun must take the lead and kill at the forefront to stabilize the soldiers.
This dozen is more than an hour.
Under Cao Jun's hard work, Datang's army was not allowed to expand the occupied position on the top of the city.
The two sides are fighting on the top of the city.
There was no breakthrough for more than an hour, and the enemy was also very determined.
Zhang Liao watched the situation on the top of the wall in silence, thinking quietly there.
Obviously, it would be impossible to break through the city tonight.
However, their goals have also been achieved, and I believe the subsequent battles will be much easier.
The army is still holding on.
After persisting for about an hour, Zhang Liao withdrew his army.
When the army retreated, the archers carried out cover attacks on some places where there were no troops of their own.
Several rounds of rapid arrow rain fell, causing the defenders on the top of the city to lose thousands of people.
Because there is a fight on the top of the city, the people are relatively dense, and it is difficult to even dodge.
A large number of people died in battle. When Datang's army retreated, they did not dare to pursue it.
After successfully withdrawing the army, Zhang Liao ordered everyone to rest and stop fighting tonight.
The news from each army was also slowly gathered.
It wasn't until dawn that Zhang Liao understood all the situation clearly.
"Let all the armies take a good rest and not attack tomorrow."
Summing up the situation, our side lost more than 20,000 people.
That's a lot to lose in just one night.
He can bear this loss, and he believes that the army on the top of the city will lose more.
At this time, Cao Ang hadn't rested yet, and he was also summarizing the situation.
"More than 36,000 people were lost in the first battle." Cao Ang said heartbroken.
There are more than 30,000 people, their army is not many, they have lost a lot before, and now they have such a big loss.
Zhang Xiu and Cao Ang were sitting in the hall, and he was also thinking.
"My lord, Wancheng can only hold on for a while. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop Zhang Yu. We should consider the way forward." Zhang Xiu said.
Cao Ang was angry, but he calmed down quickly. Zhang Xiu had this idea, and most of the soldiers below probably had the same idea.
"Okay, but we have to defend for more than a month, so my father has more time to arrange."
For a month, Cao Ang didn't know whether they could hold on.
But there must always be hope for the people below. If Cao Ang is angry at this moment and says something that should not be said, and the army below is desperate, they may really open the city and surrender.
In one night, more than 36,000 people were lost. With such a huge loss, there may be a lot of shortages in the army. He must reorganize the army as soon as possible, otherwise the morale of the army will be severely hit, and sooner or later something will happen.
