Outside Wan City, Zhang Mancheng was supervising the battle. From time to time, he waved the sword in his hand and commanded the various armies to attack the city.
At this moment, a soldier rushed over to report,""The spy sent news that Nan Zhonglang General Sun Ce has sent 100,000 troops and is rushing over!”
"100,000!" Zhang Mancheng was shocked. We only have a hundred thousand soldiers here, but Sun Ce, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Xi, as well as the troops in the Ogres, would have two hundred thousand soldiers. No, order the three armies to attack the top of the city wall today. If they can't, kill them all!”
At this moment, Huangfu Song, Zhu Rong, and Cao Cao were defending the mountain 30 miles away from the city. When they heard that Zhang Mancheng had stepped up his attack, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"The people below say that Sun Ce is on his way. We must protect Wan City before he arrives!”Huangfu Song slammed the table and shouted.
Cao Cao's eyes revealed a hint of treachery.""The Yellow Turban Army is fighting desperately now. Chu Gong is defending the city and has the advantage. If we go, we'll have to fight with real weapons! If he went out now, there would definitely be many casualties. When he returned to the court, he would probably be impeached!”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong immediately frowned.
However, Huangfu Song quickly slammed the table and said,""If the Imperial Court wants to pursue this matter, let them punish me alone! Wan City had a population of one million. If they were to break through, the consequences would be unimaginable! Go, quickly prepare to send troops to Wan City immediately. We must restrain them!”
At this moment, Wan City was already filled with danger!
The commandant was anxiously shouting,"Lord Prefect! The arrows in the city had been used up, the rolling stones had also been used up, and the kerosene was no longer available. What was worse was that almost all the soldiers had died. Now, it was only the commoners on the city walls. They really did not know how to defend themselves, and there were many casualties. Moreover, they were not good at killing. Once the rebel soldiers attacked, the commoners would not be able to stop them!”
Chu Gong's face was filled with despair." Huangfu Song shouted a few days ago that General Nan Zhonglang's army would arrive soon. At that time, Wan City would be saved. But why hasn't anyone come yet?!" I can't do anything about it. I can't do anything about it!”
All of a sudden, the sound of drums could be heard from the north of the city. Everyone looked over and saw the three flags of "Huangfu","Zhu", and "Cao" appearing again. Everyone was overjoyed!
"It's General Zhonglang! We can catch our breath again!" Chu Gong and the commoners immediately cheered.
However, Huangfu Song could not say anything.
Their 40,000 soldiers had just charged in, but they seemed to be stranded and couldn't advance.
Cao Cao frowned and shouted,""General Huangfu, give the order to retreat! Today, these Yellow Turban soldiers had gone crazy! If this continues, we will be surrounded!”
Huangfu Song looked at the commoners on the city walls and knew that there were no more soldiers. He immediately shook his head and shouted,"Meng De! Today was a life-and-death battle. He could not retreat! Look at the top of Wan City, not a single soldier is left! If we retreat, Wan City will definitely fall today! Perhaps, if we hold on for a while longer, General Sun will arrive!”
"General Sun, General Sun! A mere commoner is mentioned by you all every day, and you respect him like a god! If he was really useful, he would have come to help!”Cao Cao immediately said angrily.
However, Huangfu Song had been given full authority to supervise the battle. Since Huangfu Song had given the order, he could not escape.
When Zhang Mancheng saw that the government troops had been stopped, he immediately became excited. He had already forgotten about the army led by General Nan Zhonglang!
"Wancheng, slow down! Now, everyone go surround this army! Today, I will kill all these bullsh * t famous generals of the Imperial Court! If anyone dares to run away, I'll deal with him personally!”
Zhang Mancheng roared in rage. His personal guards immediately scattered and supervised the battle. These people were all ferocious. Whenever they saw someone retreat, they would immediately attack with their swords.
Thus, under Zhang Mancheng's threat, the Yellow Turban Army once again launched an attack on Huangfu Song's army and quickly surrounded them.
After Cao Cao's 10,000-strong cavalry was surrounded by a group of Yellow Turban soldiers, their warhorses immediately could not move. The Yellow Turban soldiers smashed the warhorses with their swords and hoes, causing the warhorses to scratch their hooves in pain or hit the ground. The cavalry immediately could not fight. In the end, under Cao Cao's command, they could only get off their warhorses and fight on foot.
The army was surrounded, and the soldiers felt terrified when they saw these ferocious Yellow Turban soldiers!
Chu Gong, who was on the city wall, saw that the imperial court's army was trapped and that the flags of the three tribes were constantly falling. He immediately felt despair."It's over! The imperial court's army was destroyed here, and the millions of people in Wan City would be buried with them!”
However, at this moment, Sun Ce's army finally arrived!
Xue Rengui's 20,000 black-armored soldiers were in the middle. Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng each led 10,000 elite cavalry to the side. Chen Qingzhi and Dian Wei each led 10,000 infantrymen. Behind them, the 60,000-strong army charged out.
When the Yellow Turban bandits who were surrounding the government troops heard the commotion behind them, they were immediately shocked out of their wits, especially Zhang Mancheng. He was originally commanding the battle from the periphery, but now that Xue Rengui was chasing him and rapidly closing the distance, he was so scared that he immediately galloped away.
"Where are you going!" Xue Rengui shouted loudly, drew his bow, and shot an arrow from afar!
The arrow let out a high-pitched piercing sound. Zhang Mancheng was so frightened that he turned around to take a look and subconsciously raised his saber to block it. Unexpectedly, the arrow was so fast that it pierced through his arm and went deep into his heart, killing him in one shot!
"The canal marshal is dead! The canal marshal is dead!"
The Yellow Turban soldiers were instantly frightened and fled in all directions!
