"Oh? Bring this person up." Huang Zhong looked curious.

Zhang Duo walked up with the support of two Lieyang Archers.

After Huang Zhong took a closer look, he smiled and said: "Who is this general? It turns out that he is the son of Prefect Zhang." Nanyang Prefect Zhang Xian and Changsha Prefect Han Xuan have a good relationship. The two often communicate with each other, and Huang Zhong is the commander in the city.

, I once met Zhang Duo and had a good impression of Zhang Duo.

At that time, the Huang family borrowed money from here and there because of Huang Xu's illness, and Zhang Duo lent a helping hand at the critical moment.

Zhang Duo snorted coldly: "When I helped General Huang, I didn't expect that General Huang would become a general under the command of the Marquis of Jin."

Huang Zhong turned over and immediately stepped forward and said: "Untie General Zhang."

When the soldiers removed the rope, they would inevitably touch Zhang Duo's wounds.

"I wonder why General Zhang is injured?" Huang Zhong asked doubtfully.

Zhang Duo said: "It's not that Cai Zhong is incompetent. Relying on the Cai family's power in Jingzhou, he not only did not obey my general's words, but also beat me thirty times. Otherwise, the cavalry in the hands of General Huang would no longer be able to do anything."

If there were more, we wouldn't be able to defeat the Jingzhou army so easily."

Huang Zhong did not refute Zhang Duo, who showed dissatisfaction when meeting him, "General Zhang was very kind to me in the past, and I am not a ruthless person. After you arrive at Jiguan, tell Cai Mao that Jingzhou has provoked you this time."

Enemies who shouldn't be provoked will sooner or later regret it."

Zhang Duo's expression moved slightly. He didn't know the meaning of Huang Zhong asking him to take the message. Both sides were their own masters at this time. His status in Jingzhou was not low. Huang Zhong had already shouldered a huge responsibility by letting him go.

risks of.

"In that case, General Huang, I will take my leave." Zhang Duo said, cupping his fists.

"Take these prisoners away too." Huang Zhong waved his hand. Although the Jingzhou Army is now hostile to Bingzhou, Huang Zhong is not ruthless enough to kill all these Jingzhou soldiers. Besides, these Jingzhou soldiers have already lost their courage.

After the sergeants returned, it was a big blow to the morale of the Jingzhou Army.

Zhang Duo took a deep look at Huang Zhong and rode away.

Huang Zhong looked at the figure going away and let out a long sigh. He originally thought he would die of old age in Jingzhou in this life, but he never expected to meet someone like Lu Bu.

"General Huang..." Sun Ning stepped forward and said.

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said, "No need to say any more. If the Marquis of Jin punishes me, it is also my general's fault. When the Japanese general was in Jingzhou, he accepted the kindness of the Zhang family, and now he has repaid the old friendship."

Zhang Xiu praised: "General Huang is indeed a kind and righteous person, and I will admire him."

"Hurry up and leave here. If the cavalry of the princes find the trail, it will be difficult to escape." Huang Zhong said.

The battlefield became quiet again except for the grain trucks emitting thick smoke and the faint traces of blood on the ground.

After the unremitting efforts of the princes, the boulder was finally thrown onto Huguan. At this time, there were not many defenders at Huguan. Although the power of the boulder was huge, casualties could be minimized as long as precautions were taken in advance.

The power is destined, and ordinary means of resistance are difficult to succeed.

A series of wells, braving the huge rocks coming from Huguan, slowly came towards the city wall. Each archer climbed up the ladder at an extremely fast speed and shot arrows at Huguan.

The defenders of Huguan began to suffer casualties. Even though the crossbows and thunder chariots of the Bingzhou Army could cause great damage to the coalition forces, they could not stop the coalition forces from approaching.

"My lord, you haven't left the customs for two days and two nights. Your health is your top priority," Dian Wei advised.

Lu Bu said: "The Bingzhou army has not rested yet, how can I easily pass the pass?"

Dian Wei was silent when he heard this. He knew that this was the biggest challenge that Lu Bu had accepted after entering Bingzhou. If he could survive this crisis, Bingzhou would become even stronger. If he could conquer Huguan for the princes, Lu Bu would be there for many years.

The efforts in Jinyang may come to nothing.

"My lord is the leader of the army. You should put your body first. If your lord falls from exhaustion, it will be a misfortune for the army. With General Hao Meng at the pass, the army of the princes will never even think of entering Huguan." Dian Wei advised again.

After Lu Bu was silent for a long time, he nodded. At first, the Bingzhou Army, which had the advantage of terrain, had the absolute upper hand. However, as the armies of the princes approached Huguan and attacked day and night, the situation became difficult for the defenders.

It's a bit unfavorable, and coupled with the threat of the boulder from the army of princes, there are more factors to consider.

"Tomorrow when the princes will launch a large-scale attack on Huguan, let me know." Lu Bu said and turned around and left.

Hao Meng looked at the retreating figure, his expression becoming more determined. Ever since he followed Lu Bu, he had never regretted it. No matter how critical the situation was this time, he would never give up and stand by Lu Bu's side.

Even if it means paying the price with your life.

Not only Hao Meng, but also the defenders at the gate did not show a trace of panic. Even if any of the defenders were injured, they would be sent down to Huguan as quickly as possible. Inside Huguan, there were doctors from Jinyang Medical Center.

As the night wind blew, Lu Bu also felt tired.

"My lord, the military advisor said that he has something important to ask to see my lord." Dian Wei hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Let Wen He come quickly." Lu Bu said. Jia Xu was responsible for compiling intelligence from all sides and was also responsible for the defense of Huguan.

Jia Xu hurried over and said loudly: "My lord, General Huang Zhong led the Lieyang Bow Cavalry in Hanoi to cut off the grain and grass of the Jingzhou Army. The one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass escorted by the Jingzhou Army were burned to the ground."

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this. Huang Zhong's victory on the battlefield was definitely a huge blow to the coalition of princes, especially the defenders of Jiguan, and the pressure was suddenly reduced.

"Well, General Huang is indeed getting stronger with age." Lu Bu said with a laugh.

Dian Wei also showed excitement. Huang Zhong was able to achieve such achievements on the battlefield, which was a huge encouragement to the Bingzhou Army. The Bingzhou Army had always shown its strength in front of the princes. How could it ever be so useless to guard Huguan?

Withstood repeated attacks from princes.

"Lord, the allied forces of the princes are approaching Huguan. As expected, starting from tomorrow, the princes will launch a more violent attack." Jia Xu's voice was a little heavy, and he could not stand still on the battlefield with more than 200,000 people.

Be cautious, there are many wise people among the princes, and you must consider all aspects of the problem.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "If you want to break through Hu Pass, the princes will have to pay a high price."

"My lord, General Huang has one more thing." Jia Xu whispered the reasons why Huang Zhong let Zhang Duo go on the battlefield.
