Chapter 360: Raising the butcher's knife to the women and children
In the face of the soldiers who came up violently, Zhang He's heart was already cold, and the last remaining trace of loyalty was also destroyed by Yuan Shang's suspicion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's it, Cang Tian testifies, it's not that I, Zhang He, am disloyal, it's the father and son of the Yuan family, and I have to force Zhang He to a dead end, and I Zhang He has to resist angrily......"
Yang Tian let out a long sigh, the long knife was suddenly grasped, and in Zhang He's eyes, the ruthless anger and murder were burning like fire.
With an angry roar, the big gun in his hand shot out like lightning, shooting wildly towards Ma Yan, who was slashing at him.
Burst!
Blood splattered, and the spear came first, piercing Ma Yan through the chest with a single shot.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang He showed no mercy, and the shadow of the gun was like a raging storm, attacking the soldiers who rushed up, mercilessly stabbing them to the ground.
With a force value of more than 90, Zhang He actually killed these soldiers and retreated again and again, and stepped on the bloody road all the way from the city to the city.
At this time, Zhang He's prestige in the army finally began to play a role.
Hundreds of soldiers loyal to Zhang He, hearing that their lord would be surrounded, rushed to help Zhang He kill indiscriminately, opened the city gate, rushed out desperately, and ran in the direction of the Liang army.
"Shoot me these traitors, and leave no one behind!" Yuan Shang, who was ashamed, roared and shouted.
More than 500 crossbowmen were transferred to the head of the city and shot wildly at the fleeing Zhang Hemen.
Zhang Hewu spear dropped the arrow of the attack, while riding his horse and galloping, most of the soldiers who followed him were shot, and only dozens of people remained, following him out of the range of the arrow.
"It's hateful to let this traitor escape!" Looking at Zhang He in the distance, Yuan Shang was so angry that his face was red, and his fist hit the female wall fiercely.
Feng Ji also sighed indignantly: "I really didn't expect that the third prince would treat Zhang He very well, and at this critical juncture, he would shamelessly betray, he really knows people and knows his face." ”
"Traitor, I must make you pay!" Yuan Shang was even more angry, and shouted: "Quickly report the news of Zhang He's rebellion to Yecheng to his father, and ask him to take Zhang He's family and his family to Ancheng to be beheaded." ”
"That's the case, one is to punish Zhang He's traitor, and the other can also play a role as a vigilance." Feng Ji nodded again and again, and said with relief: "The third prince doesn't have to be too angry, fortunately, the third prince is wise and has seen through Zhang He, a traitor, in advance, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause a greater disaster, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." ”
Yuan Shang's expression eased slightly, snorted coldly, and mocked: "Tao thief, do you think that your carving insect skills can hide from the eyes of this son, now that I have seen through Zhang He, a traitor, I see if you have any way to capture my Ancheng." ”
……
Liang Ying, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
The potter had just returned to Daying, and was about to give the order to retreat twenty miles south, in order to make his plan out of the divide more realistic.
At this time, the soldiers outside the account came to report, saying that Zhang He led dozens of horsemen to surrender.
"So fast?" The potter was surprised, he didn't expect Zhang He to come to surrender so soon, and immediately ordered him to be brought in.
After a while, Zhang He, who looked gloomy, walked into the big tent with a disgraced face, knelt down on one knee towards the potter, and arched his hand: "The last general, Zhang He, came to Liang Gong in desperation, and asked Liang Gong to accept it." ”
"General Zhang, you've finally figured it out." The potter smiled and flicked his hand to signal him to get up.
Zhang He stood up and sighed with a wry smile: "Duke Liang's plan of discord is so exquisite, step by step he pushed the last general to a dead end, and the last general was also forced to surrender to Duke Liang. ”
This Zhang He, but he is also a straightforward person, and he spoke out calmly.
The potter laughed, got up, stroked Zhang He's shoulders and said, "If you want to get you, the Hebei general, how can you do it without a little effort and some means." ”
The potter's words also gave Zhang He enough face and showed the importance he had, which made Zhang He's uneasy and sluggish mood ease slightly, and the resentment in his heart gradually faded.
"Thank you Liang Gong for such trust, I will go to Tang for Liang Gong, and I will not hesitate to do anything." Zhang He expressed his determination and hesitated, but said: "It's just that he still has a reluctant request, and I hope that Liang Gong can agree." ”
"What are the requirements, just say." The potter waved his hand generously.
Zhang He took a deep breath, and then said with a straight face: "The family members of the Hejia family are all in Hebei, if they help Liang Gong to attack the Yuan family, I am afraid that the Yuan family's father and son will be angry and harm He's family, so he wants to ask Liang Gong's grace, don't let me attack the Yuan family, the other princes, as long as Liang Gong speaks, even if he is also a sword and a sea of fire, he will never give up." ”
The potter had already guessed what Zhang He wanted to ask for, taking care of his family, which is also human nature, indicating that Zhang He is a loving and righteous person.
At the moment, the potter didn't want to think about it, so he said happily: "What should I ask, it turns out that it is such a trivial matter, and my father has approved it."
"Thank you Liang Gong!" Zhang He didn't expect him to agree so happily, and under gratitude, he bowed to the ground again.
The potter hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Come on, set up a banquet, tonight my father is going to meet General Zhang, and he will not get drunk." ”
On the same day, the potter welcomed Zhang He's return with a grand banquet.
Zhang Hetou Cheng, Yuan Shang will lose an outstanding commander of the army, and his military morale will also suffer a heavy setback, and the garrison capacity of Ancheng will inevitably be greatly reduced.
The potter's tactical objective had been achieved, and naturally there was no further delay, and three days later, the army was assembled to launch a final onslaught on Anseong.
Three days later, the first line of the south gate of Anseong.
The battle flag covered the sky and the sun, the soldiers were like a forest, and nearly 70,000 soldiers of the Liang Army were like black clouds, approaching the enemy city mightily.
All the generals were already in place, but Zhang He did not come to the front of the battle, but followed the pottery merchants and lived in the Chinese army.
The potter promised Zhang He that he would not let him participate in the battle against the Yuan family, so he fulfilled his promise and only took Zhang He with him to watch the battle.
At noon, hundreds of large and small armies had finished their formations, and they would launch an unprecedented fierce assault just waiting for the potter's order.
At the head of the city, Yuan Shang had expected the Tao Chamber of Commerce to attack, and nearly 10,000 soldiers had already landed in the city and were ready to fight.
Among these 10,000 soldiers, nearly half of them were Zhang He's old department, and Yuan Shang was afraid of Zhang He's influence on them, so he didn't want to use them to participate.
It's just that the 70,000 people of the Liang army on the opposite side, with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, how can they hold it, Yuan Shang had no choice but to transfer all these old troops of Zhang He to the city.
However, these thousands of soldiers were forced to defect because of Zhang He, and the morale of the army was greatly damaged, and all of them were demoralized.
Yuan Shang stood at the head of the city with his sword in his hand, looking at the strong and high-spirited Liang army from afar, and then looking at the demoralized own army, his heart was both anxious and angry.
"Zhang He, all this is thanks to you, a traitor, today, I will use the blood of your Zhang family to warn those old departments of yours......"
Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly gathered, and he shouted: "Order, put Zhang He's family on the city." ”
The faces of the soldiers on the left and right all changed slightly, knowing what Yuan Shang wanted to do, but they were afraid of his deterrence, no one dared to disobey their orders, and in a moment, nearly 50 family members, including Zhang He's wife and children, were all taken to the city.
South of the city, the Liang army in the middle army.
Zhang He was silent, planning to watch the siege silently, but for some reason, he was always a little uneasy in his heart.
Suddenly, he faintly heard a familiar cry coming from the direction of the city, which made his heart even more uneasy.
At this time, Yuan Shangden came to the head of the city, came out, and shouted coldly: "Zhang He traitor, you dare to be ungrateful and betray my Yuan family, today, this son will make you regret it!" ”
As he spoke, Yuan Shang waved his hand and ordered Zhang He's family to be taken to the city, and they were all hung on the city wall one by one.
More than 100 steps away, Zhang He saw this scene, and his face was instantly stunned.
Even the potter changed color slightly, he didn't expect Yuan Shang to make such a play.
The reason why he promised Zhang He not to ask him to attack the Yuan family was to protect his family, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shang would hang all the Zhang family's children on the city wall, obviously planning to massacre.
Zhang He, who was angry and attacked, rode his horse out of the Chinese army, arrived in front of the battle, and roared angrily: "Yuan Shang, let my family go!" ”
Seeing Zhang He appear, looking at his angry appearance, Yuan Shang felt a burst of joy in his heart, and sneered: "You traitor, you still have a face, it's good, I'm afraid that you won't dare to come, just let you see with your own eyes how your family died because of you." ”
With that, Yuan Shang's eyes lit up with murderous intent, and he ordered to cut off one of the ropes.
The soldiers were shocked, hesitated for a moment, and did not dare to make a move.
Feng Ji's face sank beside him, and he scolded: "The order of the third prince, whoever dares to disobey is not afraid of the army's disposition!" ”
Before Feng Ji's words fell, Yuan Shang's long sword was already unsheathed, and his hand raised the sword and fell, cutting off the hesitant soldier and his head to the ground.
The sergeants on the left and right all changed color in shock, and they were terrified to the extreme.
Yuan Shang put away the blood sword and said coldly: "Whoever dares to disobey orders will end up like him." ”
To make up for the soldier, he was already frightened, and he dared to hesitate, so he had to grit his teeth and cut off one of the ropes.
With a scream, an old man of fifty or sixty years old fell from the city with a scream, and instantly fell to the point that his head broke and bled out, and he died under the city wall.
"Second uncle!" Zhang He screamed, eager to fly over to save his second uncle, but he couldn't do anything but watch him fall to his death.
In an instant, Zhang He's eyes were so bloodshot that he almost vomited blood, and scolded angrily: "Yuan Shang dog thief, I, Zhang Heben, am loyal to your Yuan family, it was your unwarranted suspicion that forced me to defect, I have decided not to help Liang Gong's Yuan family, why do you still want to harm my relatives!?" ”
Yuan Shang was indifferent, Zhang He's angry roar only fueled his murderous heart, and in a sneer, he waved his hand again.
Another slash fell.
Amid the screams, a seven or eight-year-old girl fell to the head of the city, slamming into a blur of flesh and blood.
"Yuan Shang, I'll kill you!" Zhang He gritted his teeth and wanted to break, eager to jump at the head of the city and break Yuan Shang's body into thousands of pieces.
Yuan Shang laughed wantonly, how happy, pointed at Zhang He and said coldly: "Zhang He, this is the end of your betrayal of my Yuan family, I knew today, why bother in the first place." ”
In the midst of wild laughter, Yuan Shang ordered again and again to throw Zhang He's family off the city one after another, and all of them fell into pulp.
Zhang He was furious and painful, but he was helpless, he could only watch his small family being mutilated by Yuan Shang one after another.
The tragedy at the head of the city, the potters have seen it clearly.
He really didn't expect that Yuan Shang's methods could be so ruthless, he stupidly fell into his own divisive plan, forced Zhang He to do so, and even made such a ruthless attack on a group of innocent old and weak people.
Seeing a famous woman and child fall under the city, half of Zhang He's family had been killed, the potter couldn't bear it anymore, rode his horse straight to the front, and shouted: "Yuan Shang, that's enough, stop for this father!" ”
