C6 Confirmation of a Phrase

Looking at Huang Xu's expression, Luo Yang could only helplessly shake his head. Right now, it was useless to think about this. Now that the Yellow Gown Army was besieging Nan Yang, he didn't know if he could hold on! Even if Hua Tuo was able to hold on, Luo Yang might not even be able to touch him in his lifetime, not to mention finding him to treat Huang Xu.

Immediately, Luo Yang patted Huang Xu's head and smiled. However, he did not return to his room to rest. Instead, he turned around and left. It wasn't that Luo Yang was angry at Huang Zhong, but that he was worried about the city walls. Therefore, he decided to go and inspect the city walls.

Luoyang was now quite famous in Nanyang City. In this half month, both civilians and soldiers knew that if it weren't for Luoyang, Nanyang City would have already been breached by the bandits outside the city. In front of the encirclement, there were many refugees who had fled to Nanyang City. From the refugees, everyone knew what the thieves had done after they broke into the city. Thus, Luo Yang naturally became the object of everyone's gratitude. On the streets, those commoners respectfully bowed to Luo Yang to express their gratitude. There were even a few hotheaded youths who ran in front of Luo Yang, requesting for him to join the garrison and do their best.

Looking at these children, Luo Yang also had a helpless look on his face. If there were any strong men who could fight in the city, they would have been recruited by Chu Gong into the garrison half a month ago. The remaining children were only eleven or twelve years old. If they were recruited into the army, it would be considered a blessing that they would not cause any trouble during the war!

After dealing with those enthusiastic citizens, Luo Yang walked straight to the east city gate. This place was previously guarded by Huang Zhong, and it was also the one with the most serious losses out of the four gates. Towards this, Luo Yang also felt very helpless. In terms of martial arts, even Luo Yang might not be a match for Huang Zhong if Huang Zhong were to let him do it single-handedly. In terms of tact, Huang Zhong was not an idiot. From time to time, he could come up with some tricks. The problem, however, was that Huang Zhong's temper was too easily fooled. Originally, if Huang Zhong were to guard the city, the losses of this garrison would have been the lowest. It just so happened that Huang Zhong refused to be obedient. Originally, the number of soldiers defending the city was not many. However, Huang Zhong could no longer afford to consume them like he did.

Seeing Luo Yang get on top of the city walls, the soldiers who were resting on top of the city walls all stood up and saluted Luo Yang. These days, Luo Yang had saved them who knew how many times. They were extremely grateful towards him.

Luo Yang just waved his hand and asked one of the low level officers: "How is it? "How are the casualties of the soldiers?"

The military officer lowered his head and cupped his fists as he replied, "Reporting to Lord Luo! Originally, there were more than two hundred people on the city walls. After today's battle, thirty of their brothers had been killed! Thirteen brothers were also slightly injured. Although it was a bit of an impact, they can still fight and kill the enemy! " When Luo Yang heard the officer's words, he noticed that within the armor on the officer's chest, there was a white strip of cloth stained with blood. Thinking about it, those people that were slightly injured in his words, that included himself!

Hearing the report from the military officer, Luo Yang could not help but feel his heart ache. Although he had only lost a few dozen people, these dozens of soldiers could still provide a considerable amount of help in the battle against the Yellow Gown Army! In the past half month, the total number of casualties in the city wall that Luoyang was in charge of was only around 20. Today, Huang Zhong had lost so many people in a single day; no wonder in history, even though Nanyang had generals like Huang Zhong, he could not block the attack of the yellow-robed Army.

I can't go on like this! Luo Yang secretly made up his mind. The imperial government would send out an army in April, while the army would wait until June before fighting in Nanyang. If this continued, then even without Zhang Mancheng, the city would not be able to hold on! Luo Yang had to think of a way to force the yellow-robed soldiers to retreat. Otherwise, if Nanyang City was destroyed, Luo Yang would lose his life!

He slowly walked to the edge of the city wall and looked at the army camp outside the city. At this time, it was already the dawn. As night gradually fell, torches and bonfires began to light up in the barracks. Looking at the densely packed flames, Luo Yang couldn't help but furrow his brows. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. For the past half month, Luo Yang had been patrolling the city walls every day. He was very familiar with the army camp outside the city, but today, Luo Yang clearly felt that there was something different about the military camp outside the city.

What was the difference? Luo Yang frowned and pressed his body against the city wall to look outside. There was no change in the position of the military camp, and it was still the same place. As for the size and location of the military camp, there was no difference at all. It was also at this time, as usual, that the yellow-robed soldiers began cooking. The campfire in the camp was lit up, and when one looked from the top of the city wall, they would see it was densely packed and it was terrifying.

Right! Flames! It was precisely the light of the fire! Luo Yang's eyes were wide open as he looked at the military camp outside the city. The light in the military camp was much brighter than usual! How could this be? When an army arrived at night, it would basically be like lighting a bonfire in front of a tent. But today, the fire in the army camp had become so intense. As Luo Yang thought about it, there was only one explanation for it. That was, the number of yellow-clothed soldiers in the army camp had also increased!

Luo Yang's expression immediately became extremely unsightly. He didn't expect the yellow-robed youth to actually have reinforcements! These past few days, the number of yellow-robed soldiers surrounding the city was over two hundred thousand. This was already far beyond what Nanyang City could bear. If it weren't for Luo Yang and Huang Zhong's valiant efforts, Nanyang City would have been destroyed long ago. Now that there was such a strong force, it was very possible that it was Zhang Mancheng. Luo Yang had already fallen into despair.

"Someone, come!" Although he felt some despair, Luo Yang immediately called out to the soldiers beside him. Immediately, the military officer from before ran to Luo Yang's side to listen to his orders. Luo Yang shouted to the military officer, "Immediately send someone to inform the county governor and General Huang! Let them come here quickly! Just say that it is an emergency military situation! "

With the current situation, Luo Yang did not dare to tell these soldiers the truth. If this news were to spread, it might affect the morale of the garrison! When the officer heard Luo Yang's order, although he had some doubts, he immediately executed the order to arrange for people to notify Huang Zhong. As for him, he personally went to County Governor Manor to inform Chu Gonggong.

Luo Yang, on the other hand, was looking at the military camp outside the city with an ashen face. He was thinking hard, hoping to come up with a plan to defeat the enemy. However, what was placed in front of Luo Yang now was like a hole in a huge claypot. Luo Yang only had a small piece of rag in his hand, it was basically impossible to block the claypot with this piece of cloth. There was a common saying to describe it, 'a woman cannot live without a meal'!

After waiting for over an hour, the first one to arrive was Huang Zhong. Obviously, by the time the messenger arrived at Huang Zhong's home, Huang Zhong was already asleep. When he arrived at the top of the city, Huang Zhong was still not fully dressed in his armor, and there was still a trace of a drowsy look on his face. After arriving at the top of the city, Huang Zhong first looked left and right. After seeing Luo Yang's figure, he quickly walked to his side and asked: "Zihui, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

Before Luo Yang could reply, a series of footsteps came from behind him. It was Chu Gong and his janissaries. Since the day of the siege, Chu Gong had only been on the top of the city on the first day. But he was a man of letters, and the city was too dangerous for him, so he never came back.

Chu Gong had just stepped onto the top of the city when he saw the bloodstains on the wall that had yet to be cleaned up. His face turned pale. If he hadn't known that Luo Yang had something important to tell him, he would have immediately turned around and left. He could only suppress his discomfort and walk towards Luo Yang around the bloodstains. Seeing Chu Gong, Luo Yang and Huang Zhong also brought the soldiers on the city walls to salute him.

Chu Gong tried his best not to think about the miserable situation at the top of the city wall. Looking at Luo Yang and Huang Zhong, he forced a smile and said, "Zihui, why did you call me here so urgently?"

As if noticing Chu Gongzi's discomfort, Luo Yang stopped blabbering and asked Chu Gongzi to withdraw his troops. He then quietly told Chu Gongzi and Huang Zhong about his findings. After hearing Lou Yang's words, both Chu Gong and Huang Zhong's expressions changed. Originally, they were still waiting for reinforcements sent by the imperial government, but who knew that their own reinforcements would not arrive? Instead, they were waiting for reinforcements.

The two of them did not doubt Luo Yang's judgment, but they still could not help but look outside the city. When they saw the densely packed flames within the army camp of the Yellow Turbans outside the city, their expressions became even more serious. Huang Zhong was, after all, still a general on the battlefield and could still maintain his calm, but Chu Gong was a weak scholar, how could he still maintain his calm? He immediately turned pale with fright, turned his head towards Luo Yang and said with a trembling voice: "Son, regret, then, what should I do?"

What should he do? Luo Yang smiled bitterly. If only he knew what to do! At the side, Huang Zhong said with a deep voice: "No matter what! Let's have a fight tomorrow first! Zihui, tomorrow we don't need to hide anymore, those two thousand men must be sent! Otherwise, just by relying on these people on the city walls, we will definitely not be able to stop them! "

The two thousand men that Huang Zhong mentioned were the strong men that Chu Gong had ordered to enlist in Nanyang City when the Yellow Gown Army arrived. These brawny men had only defended the city together with the soldiers a few days ago. After Luoyang had been promoted to the field officer rank, Luoyang had proposed to Chu Gongzi that these brawny men be left for training in the city.
