The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 216: The End of Day
The tenth day finally arrived as scheduled.

Although the Han army on the Chengdu city wall still had some strength thanks to the support of the people in the city, the series of bloody battles had made them breathless.

Too many people.

Liu Bei and Zhao Yun were even more reminded of the Yellow Turban Rebellion they had experienced in Hebei.

The place was crowded with people.

There is no rule in fighting, they just rely on numbers to force their way forward.

As soon as one batch is killed, another batch will come up immediately.

Even with Zhao Yun's physical strength, he now felt sore all over.

What made Zhao Yun even more uneasy was that he actually knew that there was no telling when the reinforcements would arrive.

Zhao Yun came to Liu Bei with his spear in hand and said, "My lord, if the reinforcements have not arrived, please lead the army to break through!"

When saying this, Zhao Yun himself was not reconciled!

I have clearly passed through the dangerous Yinping Trail.

We have captured Jiangyou, Fucheng, Mianzhu, and even Chengdu! But we still can’t hold on to the final fruits!

But Zhao Yun had no choice!

Zhao Yun must protect Liu Bei and let Liu Bei follow him to break out of the siege and escape back to Guanzhong!
Liu Bei's armor was a bit worn out.

He forced himself to stand up, walked to the edge of the city wall, and motioned Zhao Yun to look down at the city.

"Zilong and I are both from Hebei, so we must have seen similar scenes before."

Under the city wall were corpses of people who had fallen to their deaths.

Because there were too many, it was impossible to clean them up, and they slowly piled up layer after layer. The blood extended far from the bottom of the city wall, almost covering the entire plain.

"If I leave now, the people in this city will become a corpse below."

"After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, nine out of ten houses in Jizhou were deserted. If we allow these rice thieves to wreak havoc, do you think the situation in Yizhou will be any better than that in Jizhou?"

Liu Bei reached for the axe in his arms again.

"When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, I was of low status and powerless, so I could only flee. That was understandable."

"But now I am a loyal minister with a salary of 2,000 stones, and a relative of the Han royal family who has been granted the axe by the emperor. How can I abandon the people and run away again?"

Liu Bei clenched his right fist and placed it on his chest.

"This time we defend the city not for fame or the greater good, but for our former comrades in Hebei who died in the war!"

"Therefore, I hope Zilong will stop trying to persuade me!"

Zhao Yun understood Liu Bei's intention at this moment.

Rather than saying that this battle was for the comrades who sacrificed during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it would be more accurate to say that it was for the soldiers and civilians that Liu Bei was unable to save.

What you cannot obtain when you are young will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Since Liu Bei wants to stay, Zhao Yun naturally won't leave!
"Oh!"

Zhao Yun slammed his spear heavily to the ground, stirring up dust.

"Yun, please lead the cavalry to charge!"

Liu Bei: "I'm afraid this trip will be a life or death situation."

"Since following the lord, Yun Jiu has done enough dangerous things, hasn't he?"

Liu Bei was stunned but also smiled: "Zilong is right."

"We started losing in Youzhou, then moved to Jizhou, and then to Qingzhou."

"We must not lose again in Yizhou today!"

The city gate burst open, and Zhao Yun appeared on a white horse with a silver spear, followed by five hundred cavalrymen.

Take the lead!
Zhao Yun jumped into the enemy army and with a slight shake of his wrist, several rice thieves died.

As the iron hooves charged forward, Zhao Yun transformed into a swimming dragon and cleared a path through the army formation.

The appearance of the cavalry indeed attracted Zhang Wei's attention, so he slowed down the attack on Chengdu and instead sent people to surround Zhao Yun and others.

But Zhao Yun rushed out from the dense crowd of rice thieves like a chisel, making Zhang Wei regret it.

However, the focus at the moment is Chengdu after all. Zhang Wei guessed that Zhao Yun's cavalry was just escorting some important person to break through, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Until half an hour later——

"General! Zhao Yun is charging again!"

"Ignore him, tell the soldiers to continue blocking him."

Another half hour later——

"General! Zhao Yun is here again!"

"Go after him! Go after him!"

Another half hour later——

"General! Zhao Yun is here again!"

"Depend on!"

Zhang Wei finally couldn't sit still anymore and decided to lead his troops to capture Zhao Yun alive!

However, when Zhang Wei arrived, Zhao Yun had already left again, leaving behind another army in a mess.

"Are you stupid? Wouldn't it be enough to just shoot Zhao Yun to death with a bow and arrow?"

Zhang Wei gave the order angrily.

Another half hour passed.

When Zhang Wei saw his personal soldiers coming to look for him, he thought to himself, maybe they can finally take Zhao Yun's head this time?

"General! Zhao Yun left again..."

"Didn't I ask you to shoot arrows?"

"Everyone shot, it's useless..."

Half an hour, another half an hour, and another half an hour...

Zhang Wei went from being angry at first to being helpless, and then to collapse.

"How many times did Zhao Yun charge into the battle formation today?"

"Seven times!" Seven times!

Seven times exactly!

Even using bows and arrows, they still failed to capture Zhao Yun!

Not to mention that Zhang Wei had already collapsed, even the other soldiers began to become afraid, fearing that a white dragon would appear in front of them and charge at the front of the formation.

Zhao Yun was not having a good time at the moment either.

The originally shiny armor was covered with a thick layer of blood.

As for the pain in his body, Zhao Yun could no longer tell whether it was sore muscles or a wound. Anyway, Zhao Yun was so tired that even his arm holding the spear could not help but tremble.

The most terrible thing is not Zhao Yun’s condition.

But the cavalry under Zhao Yun.

Originally there were 500 people, but now there are only more than 70 riders following Zhao Yun.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yun did not dare to stop.

Zhao Yun was afraid that if he stopped, the morale of the cavalry would collapse immediately!
Only by moving forward in numbness and being numb while moving forward can we continue to charge and continue to reduce the pressure on Liu Bei in Chengdu City.

"Mount! Charge!"

Zhao Yun held the reins and breathed heavily.

Now, Zhao Yun was about to make his eighth charge!
The cavalrymen behind him just carried out Zhao Yun's orders dully - mounting their horses, squeezing their horses' bellies, and urging the tired horses under their crotch to move forward again.

The sound of horse hooves.

The wind blows into my ears.

The sound of horse hooves was like muffled thunder, constantly exploding in Zhao Yun's ears!

Zhao Yun, who had been rushing forward for a while, suddenly realized something was wrong.

Now there are only more than seventy riders around me, how can I charge with such momentum?
When he looked up, Zhao Yun's pupils suddenly shrank!
At the same time, Liu Bei on the city wall also opened his eyes.

Zhao Yun’s charge just now was like a small boat sailing alone in the storm.

Any wave could knock Zhao Yun to the ground and completely engulf him. That's why Liu Bei couldn't bear to watch.

But now, Liu Bei opened his eyes and stared at the flag in the east!
【Han】!
The fiery [Han]!
But why does it appear in the east?
However, as soon as this confusion arose, Liu Bei threw it behind his mind!

Liu Bei picked up his sword, left Wang Ping on the city wall to supervise the battle, and personally gathered the thousand soldiers in the city together, had them wear heavy armor and hold thick shields.

"Reinforcements are coming! Open the city gates!"

The gates of Chengdu were opened again. Liu Bei, regardless of his status as a royal family member, jumped on his horse and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

"Zi Long!"

"Lord!"

When Zhao Yun arrived in front of Liu Bei, he was completely exhausted and fell directly into Liu Bei's arms.

"My lord, did you see who the reinforcements were?"

"Zilong, look for yourself!"

Liu Bei supported Zhao Yun with his arm and motioned him to look towards the east.

【Guan Yu】!
【Zhang Fei】!
[Pound]!
【Zhang Liao】!
【Xu Huang】!
【Wu Yi】!
There are also various flags such as Liu, Leng, Zhang, and Deng.

Reinforcements!

And judging from the momentum, it seems that they are all cavalry!

Among the crowd, there were two flags that were rushing the fastest!
Guan Yu!

Zhang Fei!

The two men rushed into Zhang Wei's army violently, and smashed two passages through the crowd.

A man wielded a huge sword, like a martial saint descending to earth.

A man stabbed wildly with a spear, as if a killer had descended.

The bravery of the two completely surpassed the soldiers' cognition. In an instant, one black and one red rushed to Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.

"Brother! Zilong!"

When Liu Bei saw the familiar faces of Guan and Zhang, he finally relaxed.

In fact, Liu Bei was not much less tired than Zhao Yun.

If possible, he really wanted to lie down on the battlefield and fall asleep soundly.

tired!
too tired!
"Yunchang, Yide."

Liu Bei stepped forward and put his hands on their shoulders, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately came over and supported each other.

"Aren't you at Baishui Pass? Why are you coming from the east? Are you really passing through Jingzhou and coming from Ba County?"

Zhang Fei was the most impatient: "Brother, you are really confused! How can you come here from Jingzhou?"

"Shu is already so hot and humid, let alone Jingzhou? I, Zhang Fei, don't want to go to Jingzhou in this life, no! In the next life! In the next life, I don't want to go to Jingzhou!"

Zhang Fei pointed his lips and said, "That guy called Wu Yi took Liu Zhang to the generals in Zitong and they all surrendered without any setbacks!"

"Originally, everyone wanted to immediately go down Jinniu Road and reach Chengdu to relieve the siege of Chengdu. But then His Majesty sent a message saying that even if we led the troops down Jinniu Road, we would only confront Zhang Wei in Chengdu and would not be able to win quickly."

“Instead of continuing the confrontation in Yizhou and letting the people suffer, it is better to directly grab Zhang Wei’s ass, go south from Mi Cang Road, capture Baozhong, and seize Zhang Wei’s base camp!”

"Zhang Wei has now become a floating duckweed without water, with no place to stay!"

After being excited, Zhang Fei also felt relieved.

"Your Majesty's decision is certainly good, but it is hard work, brother."

"Therefore, His Majesty has set a deadline for us. We must arrive in Chengdu before this deadline and rescue my brother!"

Hearing that it was the emperor's arrangement, Liu Bei smiled comfortably.

"To be honest, I also estimated a deadline for Chengdu before. Ten days at most is the limit."

"If this deadline is passed, even if you arrive, Chengdu will have already changed hands."

Zhang Fei looked surprised and asked, "Brother, do you know how long His Majesty has given us?"

"How much? Could it be ten days?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and said with certainty, "It's exactly ten days! Not a day more, not a day less!"
