Chapter 351: The Fall of Changyang (Two in One)
"Boom!"
Huge stones hit the Changyang city wall, and the stones were scattered and splashed around, causing a burst of sāo luàn on the city wall.
Peng Yue straightened the iron helmet that was crooked by the gravel, if there was no iron helmet, the gravel could instantly kill Peng Yue.
"Old Wei, has the news gotten out?"
Peng Yue shouted to Wei Yan, who was drawing a bow and shooting arrows not far away.
The arrow came out of the string, hitting the head of an enemy soldier, and the powerful force directly lifted the soldier's skull away, and blood mixed with brains sprayed all over the ground.
Wei Yan put on another arrow, slowly pulled the bowstring, and said to Peng Yue: "Several groups of commanders have been dispatched, but the enemy's attack on the city this time was very sudden, and they almost succeeded in a sneak attack, and I suspect that our back road has been cut off by the enemy!" ”
"Then let's defend it, the defenses set up these days are not a joke!"
Peng Yue patted the city wall, which had been thickened a lot, and laughed at Wei Yan.
Then he picked up a boulder and smashed it down, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "I'll go to the East City Gate, and I'll leave it to you here!" ”
"Don't worry!"
Wei Yanying shouted, and another arrow came out of the string.
Uncle Yang looked coldly at the Changyang City Wall, where there was a shout of killing, and the corpses of Yang soldiers were thrown down from the city by the defenders, and the casualties were quite heavy.
But Uncle Yang was unmoved, there was no way to attack the city, at first he wanted to sneak attack at night, but after being discovered by the defenders of Changyang, Uncle Yang turned the sneak attack into a strong attack.
Changyang City is short, although it has been heightened and thickened by Peng Yue, but in the eyes of Uncle Yang, it is full of loopholes, but the elite and stubborn resistance of the defenders are somewhat unexpected by Uncle Yang.
"Liu De can dominate Yanzhou, it seems that he does have some ability!" Uncle Yang opened his mouth and praised.
Wu Zheng, the adjutant general on the side, asked, "How can the general be so emotional?" ”
The whip in Uncle Yang's hand pointed in the direction of Changyang City and said: "Liu De is a border city in Dongyu, and he has completed the unification of Yanzhou within two years, which shows the elite of the soldiers in his hands and the courage of the generals. ”
Wu Zheng showed a look of disdain on his face, and said to Uncle Yang: "Why does the general have the ambition of others to destroy his prestige, the enemy army is just dying and struggling now, and it is just a trapped beast to fight, in less than half a month, we can take Changyang, hang the enemy's head on the head of the city, and deter the small people!" ”
"Haha!"
After listening to this, Uncle Yang stroked his beard and smiled at Wu Zheng: "General Wu's words are indeed reasonable, but half a month is still too long, three or five days is enough." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned: "What does the general mean?" ”
......
On the second day, the Yang army shot a large number of bows and arrows at the head of the city, and even gradually approached the city wall under the cover of the big shield soldiers, shooting a rain of arrows into Changyang City.
"Look, General!"
A personal guard handed the arrow shot by Yang Jun to Peng Yue's hand.
"What is this?"
Peng Yue took off the strip of cloth wrapped around the arrow, and only one date was written on it: 'March 2nd. ’
"March 2nd? What does that mean? ”
Peng Yue was puzzled, and then said to the guard: "Go and see if there are any strips of cloth on other arrows!" ”
"Yes!"
The guards received orders and hurried to other places.
And Peng Yue didn't have time to think about it, and shouted loudly: "Give a certain arrow!" Counterattack! ”
After a while, the guards came over with a large number of arrows in their hands, all of which were tied with strips of cloth, and Peng Yue untied them one by one, all of them were the same words, the same date, March 2nd.
"March 2 is tomorrow!" Peng Yue thought in his heart.
At this time, Wei Yan strode over, also holding an arrow in his hand, and said to Peng Yue: "General Peng, it feels a little wrong to be humble!" ”
"General Wei, what did you think of?" Peng Yue asked.
Wei Yan informed Peng Yue of his thoughts: "I suspect that this date is used by the enemy army outside the city to contact the inner Ying in the city, and is ready to take Changyang on March 2nd!" ”
"X also has this question, but when the news is revealed so openly, X thinks that this is the enemy's trick!" Peng Yue is not a reckless man, but quite strategic, otherwise Liu De would not let him lead an army.
He wondered why even the sneak attack had revealed the news so openly.
Now I am afraid that many people in the city know the news of March 2.
"General, since this is the case, in order to prevent accidents, let the lowly lead the troops to search the city, and there is an ambush, let's dig it out directly, no matter what kind of conspiracy he has!" Wei Yan said viciously.
Peng Yue nodded: "What General Wei said is reasonable, we have only taken Changyang City for a few months, and the people of the family in the city have not yet returned to their hearts, Neiying must be ambushed in the city, General Wei will bring more armor soldiers, be careful that they jump over the wall in a hurry!" ”
Peng Yue thought for a while and said: "Try not to cause a commotion in the city, the enemy army is attacking the city so fiercely, if there is a bad pool in the city, it will be unfavorable to us!" ”
Wei Yan said: "Don't worry, you know!" ”
A high platform had already been erected outside the city as the command place of Uncle Yang, and the high platform allowed Uncle Yang to observe the details of the city wall.
Uncle Yang said to the herald beside him: "General Chuan Ben will order, order the army to attack the city with all its might, don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!" ”
The order flag was waved, and the herald quickly passed on Uncle Yang's military order.
"The general has an order, and the army will attack the city with all its might!"
"The general has an order, and the army will attack the city with all its might!"
"The general has an order..."
After receiving the military order, all the troops under Uncle Yang began to mobilize, and even the reserves in the rear began to attack, surround Changyang City, continuously, and attack the city with all their might, not giving Peng Yue a chance to breathe at all.
"Made! This enemy commander will have two hands! ”
Peng Yue split the enemy in front of him into two sections with a knife and scolded angrily.
The enemy's all-out siege of the city interrupted Peng Yue's deployment at once, and Peng Yue knew that the enemy army would definitely not give him a chance to breathe.
"Report! General, the East City Gate is almost unguardable, ask for support! A soldier quickly ran over and told Peng Yue.
"Let the reserves go to the East Gate!"
Peng Yue waved the big knife in his hand and ordered.
And at this moment, Wei Yan directly led the soldiers to break a mansion, and Wei Yan directly ordered: "Give a certain search!" I don't believe they can hide underground! ”
"General, General! What does that mean? The little old man kept to himself and didn't do anything! ”
Two soldiers drove an old man to Wei Yan, and the old man knelt on the ground and pleaded with Wei Yan.
At the beginning, after Peng Yue and Wei Yan captured Changyang City, in order to appease the people in the city, except for taking over the city defense, government offices, granaries, and arsenals, other places remained the same.
But now Wei Yan suspects that there are enemies in the city, and it is impossible to give the family in the city a good face, and even Wei Yan is quite annoyed, he should have searched it well, and it would not have come to this point.
"Old man! General Ben asks you, do you know which house has armor soldiers? ”
Wei Yan picked the old man's chin with a knife, and the fierce face made the old man jump, and the old man stammered: "Will... General, little old man doesn't know anything! ”
The soldiers also finished the search and came to report to Wei Yan: "My lord, nothing has been found!" ”
Wei Yan took a deep look at the old man, put away the saber, and said to the soldiers: "Let's go, go to another house!" ”
Wei Yan's search made the family in the city panic, and Peng Yue at the head of the city finally led the soldiers defending the city to beat the enemy down, watching the enemy slowly retreat, Peng Yue pushed the body of an enemy soldier off the city, and didn't care about the blood flowing there, so he leaned against the wall and rested for a while.
"Why hasn't General Wei come here yet?" Peng Yue asked.
"Lord Wei should be searching the major mansions in the city one by one, looking for the enemy's internal response!" The guard replied.
"Okay, remember to call me when General Wei comes!" Peng Yue gave an order, got up and commanded the soldiers to rearrange the defense of the city.
"Yes!" The guard nodded in response.
By the time Wei Yan came back, it was already late at night, and Peng Yue lived directly in the city gate tower in order to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, "How is it?" Peng Yue asked, handing a cup of tea to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan raised the teacup and drank it all, and said: "A certain one has only checked the southern city, and the other three cities have no time to check, and when a certain one searches one by one tomorrow, a certain will not believe that he will not find a trace of the enemy!" ”
"We are short of manpower now, even if we ambush the enemy, we may not be able to find it if we look for it like this! And so-and-so wonders if this is the enemy's trick? Peng Yue said with some doubts.
"The general means that the enemy army is just to confuse the public? In fact, it is to make our hearts uneasy and cause turmoil in the city? Wei Yan also instantly understood what Peng Yue meant.
"That's it, and according to the enemy's offensive, it is estimated that we can only hold for about half a month at most, if there is no news from Jinyang, we must plan early!"
Peng Yue had the idea of abandoning Changyang, and Liu De's order was also to hold back the enemy army, and there was no need to defend Changyang City.
"But now the enemy is clearly trying to encircle us here! There are enemy troops in the cities on all sides, I'm afraid it's not easy to break through! ”
"Wait tomorrow and see what the enemy wants to play! I am very happy to accompany you to the end! Peng Yue said.
"Bang!"
The gate of the city gate tower was pushed open, revealing a rather panicked face, and the soldiers quickly knelt down and prayed to the two: "The general is not good! There's a fire in the city! ”
"Oops! It wasn't tomorrow, it was today! Good means for thieves! Peng Yue got up directly and instructed Wei Yan: "General Wei led the troops to the city to put out the fire quickly, and ordered the city gate to be guarded by the captain, so that the enemy army could take advantage of it!" ”
"Honorable Order!"
Wei Yan didn't dare to slack off, greeted twice, and led a team of men and horses to quickly rush to the city to put out the fire, while Peng Yue commanded the soldiers to quickly deploy defenses at the head of the city, waiting for the arrival of the enemy, but it was half a sound, and there was not a single enemy in sight.
Peng Yuezheng was a little strange, and Wei Yan also came back from extinguishing the fire.
Grizzled, apparently put a lot of effort into putting out the fire.
"Can you spot enemies?"
Peng Yue asked.
"It was too dark, and there was only one fire that destroyed many people's houses, so it was too chaotic to know if there were any enemies." Wei Yan shook his head and said.
"Is the enemy commander here to harass you?"
Peng Yue said.
"I really don't know, but it's not a big mistake to be careful!" Wei Yan suggested.
"What General Wei said is reasonable!"
Peng Yue didn't know what to do, and now the only way was to respond to all changes with the same, and the enemy's internal response in the city could not be found for a while, which really made Peng Yue and Wei Yan a little passive.
"Report! There is another fire in the south of the city! ”
A soldier came quickly to report.
"Damn!"
Wei Yan threw the cup in his hand to the ground, and shards were splashed all over the ground, obviously the enemy's repeated teasing had completely angered Wei Yan.
"Don't let someone catch you, or General Ben will let you taste what it means to cut a thousand knives!" Wei Yan put down his cruel words and once again took a soldier and horse down the city.
"Come on, let Xu, Zhang, and Cao lead the troops to deploy in the city, but if you find someone walking around in the street, arrest them directly, and if you resist, you will be killed!"
Peng Yue was also provoked, and allocated a thousand soldiers and horses from the soldiers defending the city, just to catch the people who set fire to the city.
Soon. The raging fire was extinguished by Wei Yan again, but Wei Yan did not return to the city, but led the troops to search directly from house to house.
"Kill!"
"Boom!"
Wei Yan's ears moved, as if he had heard something, so he asked the guards on the side, "Did you hear any sound?" ”
The guard was a little unsure, and arched his hand: "General, it seems to be shouting killing!" ”
"Shouting for killing?"
Wei Yan listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard the sound of shouting and killing, as well as the sound of weapons colliding, Wei Yan suddenly became anxious: "It's the West City Gate!" What a thief! Fast! Come with so-and-so! ”
Wei Yan rushed directly to the West City Gate with a few hundred people, but it was too late.
The gate of the West City Gate has been opened by Neiying, and Uncle Yang also transferred most of the troops outside the city to Xicheng at night, the number of soldiers and horses in Xicheng was not much, Peng Yue in order to search the inner response in the city, and mobilized a lot of defenders and reserves at the head of the city, most of the troops are very loose scattered in the city, and they can't be condensed at all.
Now that they are under enemy attack and lack of unified command, they are going their own way, and they are even more chaotic!
Wei Yan wielded a big knife and exerted his force to the extreme, which was more of a helpless catharsis, because this night he and Peng Yue were completely led by the nose by the enemy!
"General, the city can no longer be defended, let's withdraw first!"
The guards persuaded Wei Yangui.
"Alas!"
Wei Yan sighed heavily and said to everyone: "Let's go to the East City Gate to find General Peng!" ”
But Wei Yan didn't expect to encounter the enemy army that had already entered the city on the road, and Wei Yan, who was at a disadvantage in numbers, had to turn around and go north, and the north city gate was still in their hands, and after Wei Yan joined the defenders of the north city gate, he led the remnants of the army to break through to the north.
Peng Yue also knew that he was powerless to recapture the city, so he had to lead a part of his troops and horses to break through from the east, but when he encountered the enemy's obstruction, Peng Yue only led more than 100 people to break through successfully, and finally disappeared.
