The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 368 Supporting Nanchang
The army was marching, but Chen Ran did not rush forward.

Coming south from Shouchun City, Chen Ran made steady progress while dispatching scouts to investigate the news.

More than ten days have passed, and Chen Ran's army has already entered Yuzhang County, approaching Nanchang, where Yuzhang is located.

The scout Chen Ran sent out to investigate the news brought the news, and at the same time there was an envoy who was sent by Zhou Shu to deliver the message.

At this moment, the envoy had already been running around for half a day, exhausted a lot, and his face was exhausted. When he saw Chen Ran, he quickly bowed his body and saluted, "I've seen my lord envoy."

"You are the person sent by Zhou Junshou? How is the current situation?" Chen Ran's heart tightened, obviously aware of something wrong.

The person who delivered the letter had a bitter expression on his face, and he said, "Exactly, those Shanyue took the risk and sent troops to attack Nanchang. There are not enough troops in Nanchang city, and the mountain is getting more and more menacing. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop it!"

"Shanyue actually attacked Nanchang directly?" Chen Ran's face changed slightly. It would be reasonable to attack an ordinary city, but Chen Ran never thought that these Shanyue would have the courage to send people to attack a county like Nanchang.

The person who sent the letter was a little relieved, and added: "Fortunately, since the siege of Shanyue, the prefect has been careful and careful. The city is strictly guarded against death, and Shanyue has never been given an opportunity. But now Shanyue is attacking the city. After all, it is critical. You can send an army to rescue."

Chen Ran nodded and said: "It should be so, these Shanyue, dare to treat me as nothing, really think that I have no one to call?"

Chen Ran clapped his hands, appearing to be filled with righteous indignation, and then asked to take the messenger down to rest.Chen Ran glanced at Zhou Shuzhi's letter, there was no difference.

He called Zhou Cang and said: "Yuanfu, now Shanyue is directly attacking Nanchang, you are the vanguard of the army, and you will immediately lead an army of [-] to support it.

Zhou Cang was meticulous, as if cupping his hands, he said: "Your subordinate obeys!"

Huang Zhong drew [-] troops from the army, led by Zhou Cang, and killed them in the direction of Nanchang.

They marched for half a day, and now they were reluctant to leave Nanchang. If they hurried on their way, it wouldn't take long.

Chen Ran only asked Zhou Cang to bring [-] ordinary soldiers to support him, but he didn't send out the God Killing Army.

In fact, the speed of the Killing God Army must be faster than the general army, and the combat power is naturally much stronger, but it is impossible for Chen Ran to entrust everything to the Killing God Army.

The number of the God-killing army is always limited, even if the combat power is strong, it is impossible for Chen Ran to let the God-killing army fight all the battles.

Such aces as the Killing God Army should naturally be played later in the finale, so as to have a final effect.

At the same time, when Chen Ran came to exterminate Shanyue this time, most of the troops he led were recruits. The reason why he came here was for training.

On the battlefield, how can there be no danger in fighting? If you want to build an iron-blooded army, it is impossible to do it without experiencing life and death.

And the conquest of Shanyue this time is an excellent opportunity. Wouldn't it be fun to train troops and suppress bandits?
Chen Ran continued to lead the army forward, while Zhou Cang led [-] soldiers, speeding up and rushing towards Nanchang.

After all, the war is urgent and cannot be delayed.

……

Fighting from night to day.

Ren Ke commanded tens of thousands of Shanyue soldiers and launched a strong attack on Nanchang City.

The defenders in the city totaled no more than 7000 people, but under Ren Ke's command, they commanded tens of thousands of Shanyue soldiers.

These Shanyue soldiers were originally brave people, and they were much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

After some fighting, the soldiers defending on the tower were almost reaching their limits.

They are not the well-trained elite troops under Chen Ran's command, but the defenders gathered by the people in the city, and their combat power is actually extremely limited.

The reason why they were able to persist for one night was because of Zhou Shu.Although Zhou Shu is cowardly, he still has some abilities. At the very least, he is quite capable in commanding this defensive battle.

He has blocked many times of Shanyue's full-strength attack one after another. Shanyue launched a stormy attack towards Nanchang city, but it failed in the end.

Also, these soldiers, they know the horror of being attacked by Shanyue, even if they have no fighting intention, but they dare not give up.

Most of them are natives of Nanchang. If Shanyue invades Nanchang, not only them, but their relatives will all become captives of Shanyue.

So they can only fight to the death.If the purpose of these mountains is only to grab food, before such a dangerous situation, they may choose to give in directly.

Although food is very important, it is still much more cost-effective than directly losing your life.

It's a pity that these Shanyue are crazy bandits. When they enter Nanchang City, Nanchang City will be turned into ruins, and they will lose everything and nothing.

It was simply unbearable.

However, manpower is sometimes poor.No matter how powerful the thoughts in their hearts are, they don't have enough strength to support them. At this moment, they are all just empty talk.

The night of fighting almost exhausted all their energy. They defended desperately. Although they were still fighting, it was inevitable, and their hands and feet became much slower.

There is no need to question it. If Ren Ke withdrew his troops at this moment, these exhausted soldiers would probably choose to fall to the ground and sleep, and would not care about anything else.Their exhaustion at the moment almost made them collapse.

They were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, they were really going to be unable to hold on.

But they fought, but they still couldn't see hope.Even Zhou Shu, because of excessive tension and excitement, his eyes looked a little ferocious at the moment.

He sent someone to report to Chen Ran, but he didn't know whether it had been delivered to Chen Ran.He could see that these soldiers couldn't last long.

If the reinforcements don't come again, I'm afraid they will definitely lose the city.

……

Ren Ke looked at the top of the city tower, his eyes were cold and stern, and now he had rested for a long time, and his body, which was seriously injured by the fall, has recovered a little at this moment.

But he still felt extremely annoyed in his heart. It was his task to capture Nanchang, but he suffered such a huge humiliation here, so he wanted to capture Nanchang City even more.

He could see that those officers and soldiers were about to reach their limit.Now is their chance.

Ren Ke was preparing for this move before, attacking again and again, turning into a circle of corpses outside the city wall.They naturally sacrificed a lot, but Ren Ke's goal was successfully achieved.

Consume officers and soldiers, and then look for opportunities.

The physical strength of these Shanyue was far stronger than that of the defenders. Besides, Ren Ke still had some energy left to attack the city before. A part of the army was recuperating. It was finally time to show their fangs.

Ren Ke looked at the tower with a cold look in his eyes. The real decisive battle was about to begin.
