The defenders on the city wall fought desperately with rolling logs, stones, boiling oil and gold juice.
The city walls were covered in blood and corpses kept falling.
Tong Gu, the Sima of the Colonel's Office and the Commandant of Xiazhou, had his armor stained with blood as he ran back and forth on the city wall to supervise the battle, his voice already hoarse from shouting.
Although a thousand reinforcements led by Du Wei, the commander of Yanzhou, had entered the city, they were still a drop in the bucket in the face of the rebels' frenzied offensive.
Moreover, Hou Zongmin and Li Jingang's former subordinates are hiding in Xiazhou City, and they may explode at any time, making the situation precarious.
"Sima Tong! The rebels' offensive is too fierce! The west gate is in danger! How about we quickly ask Captain Shi Yong from Wohugang outside Dejing City to come and help?" Dewey suggested.
Tong Gu looked at the surging rebels below the city, then glanced towards Crouching Tiger Hill, his eyes anxious. "We are surrounded by rebels. How can we get out of the city? We can only hope that Commander Shi will learn of Xiazhou's crisis and come to our aid."
......
At Wohugang, the atmosphere in Shi Yong’s military tent was solemn.
Xiazhou was under siege by rebels, and spies had been reporting on the battle situation.
Shi Yong was restless, considering whether to send troops.
After all, when Zhao Muyun left, he asked him to guard Wohugang tightly and not let even a fly fly in.
If we send troops to aid Tong Gu and something happens at Wohugang, wouldn’t we be failing Zhao Muyun’s trust?
The deputy captains and centurions had even more different opinions.
"Captain Shi, if Xiazhou is lost, the rebels' next target will undoubtedly be our Wohugang!" the deputy general said anxiously, "I suggest sending troops!"
"But we don't have many troops, and we also have to guard the workshop. What if the rebels split up and attack Wohugang..." A centurion was worried.
"Lord Zhao said that the things here are extremely important and the matter is of great importance. If something is lost..." There were also centurions who were worried.
Shi Yong frowned and ran his fingers over the locations of Xiazhou and Wohugang on the rough map.
He was well aware of Tong Gu's dangerous situation and understood the importance of Wohugang.
The little Shitou who ate the most and had the largest appetite at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower has become mature and steady under the leadership of Zhao Muyun and the baptism of the military training class.
Finally, he slammed the table:
"If something happens in Xiazhou, we won't be safe here any longer. Therefore, we can't just sit back and watch Xiazhou fall. I'll lead 500 men and set out immediately. We'll find Li Hu's food and fodder and burn it all!"
"Deputy Commandant Zhou will be in charge of Crouching Tiger Hill. Also, notify Steward Huang, who is in charge of the workshop, to be extremely vigilant."
Manager Huang is the cousin of Huang Chang, the prefect of Shuozhou.
After Huang Chang joined Zhao Muyun, he called his family members to serve him.
"Yes, sir!"
Deputy Commandant Zhou clasped his fists and accepted the order.
