C4 Zhang Mancheng

After Han Zhong received his satisfactory response, the gloominess in his heart slightly dissipated. Only then did he gallop his horse back. Just when he walked to the entrance of the big tent at the center of the camp, Han Zhong dismounted. As soon as Han Zhong dismounted, Gong Du rushed up with an anxious face and asked Han Zhong, "General, where did you go? I've been looking for you for a long time!" Come on in! Something big has happened! "

Although he knew that Sun Xia didn't beat him to ruin the city, Han Zhong still failed today, so his mood wasn't any better. Seeing that Gong Du actually spoke to him in such a manner, he fiercely glared at Gong Du and roared: "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm still fine! What big thing can happen!? "

"Humph!" Gong Du was scolded by Han Zhong until he didn't even dare raise his head, but from the tent nearby, a cold snort came out, and a male voice rang out: "Looks like General Han is still too imposing! Is he already treating himself as the commander in chief of the army? "

These words were said very impolitely, but after Han Zhong heard this voice, his entire body shivered and his face turned pale with fright. He quickly turned around and looked toward the tent. A tall and sturdy middle-aged general came out of the tent. He looked to be in his thirties, with a full beard, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He looked just like an ordinary farmer. But when Han Zhong saw this middle-aged general, his legs became weak and he directly kneeled down, saying with a trembling voice, "This lowly general pays his respect to the canal commander!"

This middle-aged general was none other than the commander of the South Sun Yellow Scarves, the disciple of the Great Sage Teacher Zhang Jiao, and also the canon commander Zhang Mancheng! As the disciple of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Mancheng came from an ordinary farmer background, but he was much stronger than an ordinary general of the Yellow Gown Army. In order to respond to Zhang Jiao's uprising, Zhang Mancheng went to great lengths in Nanyang. He had lurked in Nanyang for many years in order to establish a decent team. According to Zhang Jiao's original plan, he would have to wait until all the armies were ready before he could take action to overthrow this rotten imperial court. However, he didn't expect that Zhang Mancheng's senior brother, who was also Zhang Jiao's second disciple, Tang Zhou, would betray him, so he was forced to take matters into his own hands in advance.

Because he wasn't fully prepared, Zhang Mancheng, who was in charge of Nanyang, could only lead the Yellow Gown Army's elites to the villages and towns near Nanyang. On one hand, they were recruiting poor farmers to enrich the Yellow Gathered Soldiers. On the other hand, they were recruiting all the wealthy families and hostile forces in Nanyang County. Originally, according to Zhang Mancheng's plan, there weren't many defenders in Nanyang City, and their combat effectiveness was also low. Han Zhong and Sun Xia, who were in charge of the yellow-robed army's siege, should have taken them down long ago. However, when he arrived outside of Nanyang City, he discovered that Nanyang City was still under the control of the soldiers. This caused Zhang Mancheng to be so angry that he directly came to the nearest Han Zhong military camp to denounce him!

Don't look at how impressive Han Zhong is in front of his subordinates. When he encountered Zhang Mancheng, he was like a mouse that saw a cat. He didn't even dare to make a sound and just knelt on the ground, trembling. He also knew that Han Zhong and Sun Xia didn't have any real ability, but right now, there weren't any talented people in the yellow-robed youth's army. Han Zhong and Sun Xia were appointed as generals because they were a bit stronger.

But even so, Zhang Mancheng did not expect that Han Zhong and Sun Xia would take over half a month to defeat them. Before the matter had been brought up, Zhang Mansheng had already investigated it thoroughly. There were only a few thousand soldiers in Nanyang City, and the yellow-robed army that he left behind for Han Zhong and Sun Xia had a total of 200,000 people! Even if the battle prowess of the yellow-robed soldiers were weaker, the abilities of the soldiers would not be much! How could they not break this Nanyang City?

"Vault Commander!" "You're back!" A shout sounded. Before Zhang Mancheng turned around, he knew it was his other subordinate, Sun Xia. At this moment, Sun Xia was sweating profusely. His face was full of anxiety as he galloped his horse over. When he saw Zhang Mancheng's figure from afar, he started to shout. Not long after he had withdrawn his troops, Sun Xia was in the middle of throwing a tantrum when he received the news that Zhang Mancheng had returned. He immediately left the military affairs and rushed over.

Sun Xia galloped his horse all the way to the front of Zhang Mancheng and pulled the reins to stop his horse. He dismounted and knelt in front of Zhang Mancheng. Zhang Mancheng glanced at Sun Xia and snorted coldly. Towards the two of them, Zhang Mancheng had a stomach full of anger. However, now was not the time to be angry. Zhang Mancheng glanced at the two of them, then said, "Come in." He then turned around and entered the tent.

Han Zhong and Sun Xia couldn't help but shiver when they heard Zhang Mancheng's words. Only then did they quickly get up from the ground and closely followed Zhang Mancheng into the tent. After entering the tent, Zhang Mancheng didn't care about the two people behind him and directly sat in the seat at the top of the tent. Zhang Mancheng did not say anything. Han Zhong and Sun Xia naturally did not dare to take their seats and could only stand there obediently.

"Speak!" Zhang Mancheng stared at the two for a long time, and finally snorted, "The two hundred thousand people cannot attack a city that only has a few thousand people guarding! I want to hear it! What kind of excuse can you give me! "

Hearing Zhang Mancheng's cold words, Han Zhong and Sun Xia's heads were instantly covered in sweat. Sun Xia hesitated for a moment before deciding to first speak, and said, "Reporting to the commander in chief! Before we began our assault on the city, we were given the news by the county governor of Nanyang, Chu Gong.

"Humph!" Zhang Mancheng snorted again and interrupted Sun Xia's explanation. He shouted with his eyes wide open, "How many strong men can Chu Gong catch? A thousand? Two thousand? You have two hundred thousand soldiers! Even if Chu Gong has captured ten thousand people, you should have already taken down Nanyang City! He's practically a piece of trash! "

After being scolded by Zhang Mancheng, Sun Xia directly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Although Han Zhong had always been at odds with Sun Xia, now that he saw Sun Xia's sorry state, he was not happy in his heart. Right now, the two of them were in a similar situation. If Zhang Mancheng could not give a good explanation, then their title of general would be taken off today!

Seeing that Zhang Mancheng's gaze had turned to him, Han Zhong was surprised, so he quickly cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to Marshal Du!" The garrison troops of Nanyang City were not weak either! "One of the generals is really impressive. There have probably been more than a few thousand men who have died at his hands in the past half month!"

"General?" Han Zhong's proposed explanation slightly eased Zhang Mancheng's expression. Zhang Mancheng narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "What you're talking about, should be the inner city's Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng!" This person is indeed a great general! "

Hearing Zhang Mancheng's words, as if accepting his own explanation, Han Zhong secretly wiped off his cold sweat. But just as Han Zhong let out a breath of relief, he heard Zhang Mancheng curse loudly, "Idiot! A bunch of idiots! No matter how strong Huang Zhong was, he was still just a single person! Aren't you going to lead him out of the city, trap him outside the city, and then attack the city gates? Furthermore, Huang Zhong was at a loss on his own! You guys are besieging the city gate, but that Huang Zhong can't possibly defend four city gates by himself, right? "

Han Zhong's face was so bitter that he could even squeeze out some bitter juice. He saw Han Zhong say with a bitter face, "Canon Marshal! That's what I did! However, every time they were about to take over the city, the soldiers would suddenly become stronger and drive the soldiers off the city walls! As for the other three sides of the city gate, General Huang's response to Huang Zhong was already too intense, how could he still have the time to care about other places! "

Hearing Han Zhong's words, Sun Xia, who was kowtowing on the side, couldn't help but to greet Han Zhong's family. These words implied that the unfavorable responsibility for the Nanyang War lay with him, Sun Xia! Of course, Sun Xia couldn't just sit there and wait for Han Zhong to pour the dirty water on him. That Huang Zhong was not the only one in Nanyang City! There were soldiers and generals in charge of the city that were difficult to deal with! Under his command, the soldiers repelled the army's attacks one after another! "

"Oh?" This time, Zhang Mancheng's interest was piqued. He believed that Sun Xia definitely wouldn't lie to him in order to get rid of his sin. He didn't have the guts to do that. It seemed that this Nanyang City was really filled with hidden talents! However, this did not stop Zhang Mancheng from continuing to attack South Sun City! Nanyang City had a very important role to play in Zhang Jiao's plan. Occupying Nanyang County was equivalent to cutting off the connection between Jing Prefecture and the north. This way, the yellow-robed Army could attack Jing Prefecture without worry. In addition, the rations and foodstuffs hoarded in Nanyang City were urgently needed by the yellow-clothed army, which was growing larger and larger. Therefore, no matter how many outstanding people there were in Nanyang City, Zhang Mancheng had to capture Nanyang City!

Immediately, Zhang Mancheng waved his hand to stop Han Zhong and Sun Xia from urgently needing an explanation, and said with a deep voice, "Alright! Stop talking nonsense! Tomorrow, I will personally lead the Yellow Gown Army to attack the city gate! They will meet that Huang Zhong and that mysterious expert! I want to see if these officers and soldiers can withstand the attack of my yellow scarf elite soldiers! " Saying that, Zhang Mancheng suddenly pulled out a big saber from his waist and hacked down onto the short table in front of him. Coincidentally, a map on the table was hacked into two, and the location on the map that was hacked down happened to be Nanyang City.
