Chapter 384: Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao are killed
When Lu Bu's army was approaching, Zhang Ying was very afraid and quickly summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures.
Staffman Chen Kuan said to Zhang Ying: "General, Lu Bu is powerful, with at least 20,000 soldiers and horses. There are only 4,000 soldiers and horses in our Wan County, so we can't defend at all. So what my subordinates mean is to ask for help from Linhu and Shu County as soon as possible."
Zhang Yingshen agreed with Chen Kuan’s suggestion and hurriedly asked for help from Shu County and Linhu.
One day later, Shuxian replied that three thousand reinforcements would arrive in the latest three days.
This news made Zhang Ying feel relieved.
Although compared with Lu Bu's 30,000 troops, even the 3,000 troops that Shu County came to support would be useless.
But at least it is a spiritual comfort.
If one or two thousand reinforcements could be sent to Linhu, their number would be as large as eight or nine thousand.
There were seven or eight thousand people defending the city, and facing Lu Bu's 20,000 troops, there were still some fighting in this battle.
However, soon a bad news came, Linhu had been captured by Guan Yu's army.
At the same time, news that Zhang Fei had broken through Xunyang and Huang Gai broke through Xiang'an also spread.
In other words, Lu Bu gathered 80,000 troops to attack Lujiang County in four directions.
After learning the news, the morale of the soldiers and horses in Wan County suddenly dropped to a low point.
They had no way to deal with Lu Bu's 20,000 troops alone.
Not to mention that there are now 60,000 troops from the other three routes.
Because Guan Yu captured Linhu, Linhu was very close to Shu County.
Now Shu County has entered martial law and has no spare force to send troops to support it.
Therefore, defending Wan County can only rely on the four thousand soldiers and horses in their city.
With these four thousand soldiers and horses facing the brave and war-going God of War, and the people's soldiers led by the God of War, they could not defend themselves.
For a moment, in An County, both Zhang Ying and the four thousand soldiers under his command all wanted to retreat.
At this moment, Chen Heng heard from Shu County that Liu Yao had ordered Zhang Ying to be strictly guarded.
As long as he can hold on for seven days, Liu Yao will send a large army to support him.
If Zhang Ying dares to retreat without fighting, then those who are waiting for Zhang Ying will end up being wiped out.
Zhang Ying was recently sent to Wan County by Liu Yao, and Zhang Ying's family is now in Jiujiang County.
So when Liu Yao got this order to come, Zhang Ying had no choice but to fight back.
Zhang Ying also believes that Liu Yao currently has only two counties.
Once Lujiang County is lost, Liu Yao will be unable to be in a county in Jiujiang County.
Liu Yao definitely doesn't want to throw Lujiang County away so quickly.
In this way, what Liu Yao said about reinforcements must be real.
Therefore, Zhang Ying mobilized all the military and civilians in Wan County and vowed to live and die together with Wan County.
In order to be able to hold on to Wan County, Zhang Ying issued several decisive orders.
The first order was to recruit soldiers. All men over fifteen years old and under fifty years old in the family were recruited and expanded into the army.
This order alone made Zhang Ying suddenly add 15,000 more soldiers.
Of course, these 5,000 soldiers were still wearing their own clothes, not even a decent piece of armor.
The weapons used are all kinds of, including kitchen knives, burrs, hoes, etc.
Such a team has no combat power at all.
If the two armies fought in the plains, a charge would probably lead to the defeat of the troops.
But now they are in the defensive position, so these 5,000 new recruits can come in handy!
The second order is to collect materials to defend the city throughout the county.
Many people's houses were demolished, and all the beams and other materials were transported to the city walls to pile up in order to prevent Lu Bu from siegeing the city.
As for the wealthy families in Wan County, they hated Lu Bu very much, and they agreed with Zhang Ying's determination to strictly guard against him.
However, when Zhang Ying collected them and stripped off their family apart, these wealthy families also began to resent.
This Zhang Ying seems to be more ruthless than Lu Bu outside!
If Lu Bu only needs the land, he will pay back the money.
But Zhang Ying needs almost everything except the land!
For a time, the wealthy families in Wan County could not tell whether they like Zhang Ying or Lu Bu.
Although Zhang Ying's two strategies have caused complaints in the entire Wan County, Wan County's defensive ability has improved by more than one level.
Zhang Ying believes that just by relying on the people in the city and the defensive materials, let alone seven days, even if it lasts for one month, it should not be a problem.
At this moment, Zhang Ying's confidant suddenly rushed over to report to Zhang Yinghui: "Report to the general, the villain found two stunning beauties in the city, so he came to offer them to the general."
Zhang Ying is a very lustful person. He has a monogamy and six concubines at his family in Jiujiang County.
In this Wan County, there are also all women who are happy.
Zhang Ying's confidants knew Zhang Ying's nature well, so they often looked for beauty for Zhang Ying.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Ying's confidant has gained Zhang Ying's trust and his position as a confidant has always been irreplaceable.
This time, he found two stunning beauties for Zhang Ying. This confidant felt that this time, he would definitely receive Zhang Ying's generous reward.
Bang!
As a result, what awaited him was Zhang Ying's heavy slap.
"Waste, when is this time? Do you still have the intention to do such a thing?"
The confidant covered his cheeks and said in a vain: "General, the two beauties that the villain has found for you this time are really amazing. None of the beauties around the general can compare to these two beauties! No, even one or two of these two beauties can match them!"
Zhang Ying was really curious when she heard her close friend say this.
Zhang Ying is a capable general under Liu Yao, and Liu Yao is highly valued, so he really has no shortage of beauties around him.
But now his confidant actually said that the beauties around him were not as beautiful as the two untwo that he had found, which really aroused Zhang Ying's curiosity.
"Damn it, why don't you come forward? Let me take a look? If I find out that you are exaggerating, be careful of your head!"
Seeing Zhang Ying's curiosity aroused, the confidant said happily: "General, but please don't worry. After seeing these two beauties, keeping the custody will open your eyes!"
After saying that, Zhang Ying's confidant clapped his hands and the two girls were brought up.
These two girls were caught here, obviously frightened, but they were still in shock at this time.
Zhang Ying couldn't help but look up at the two women. With just one look, Zhang Ying was amazed. In an instant, her heart pounded for half a beat.
I saw that although these two girls were only thirteen or fourteen years old, their appearance had not yet grown up.
But his eyebrows and eyes are like picturesque, his skin is like snow, and his pitiful appearance makes people feel itchy when they look at it.
Zhang Ying couldn't help asking, "I don't know the names of the two ladies?"
Chapter completed!
