Chapter 32: Conquering Liucheng
Five days later, as night fell, Zhang He led 1,500 soldiers to attack at the east gate of Liucheng.
At this time, outside the south gate, Gao Shun led the trapping camp and waited for a long time, and suddenly saw the city gate on fire, Gao Shun shouted, "Meritorious service, at this time, the first person to enter the city, the official is promoted to the third level, everyone rush me"! After speaking, take the lead and launch a charge.
Gao Shun came to the city gate and saw a Wuhuan army coming straight to the south gate, and the leader was the cronies of the Lou Ban in the camp that day.
I saw him dismount and said, "General, please come with me, the south gate has been occupied by us all the way, and before we can react, we will quickly lead the troops to capture him."
Gao Shun said, "Please lead the way" After speaking, the leader led the way to kill.
He had just finished rectifying Qiu Liju's old department in the past few days, and he hadn't rested for several days, so he just didn't have anything to do today, so he was going to go to bed early. Suddenly, the guards at the city gate came to report that "a large number of Han troops were found outside the city and were preparing to attack the city."
Frightened, he immediately got up and dressed and went to the city wall, looked at it for a while, and found that the Han army was just besieging the city, but he didn't dare to go out of the city to meet the battle after dark, for fear of the tricks of the Han army, so he told the defenders of the city tower, as long as the Han army did not attack the city, he let them go, and went back to sleep after speaking.
At this time, it was difficult to fall asleep for a while, and someone reported that "Qiu Liju's old department occupied the south gate and let the Han army enter the city."
He said angrily, "There is still no end, gather troops to follow me to kill the Han army."
Gao Shun led the troops to meet the Bandun Department in the city, and the enemies were very red when they met. Gao Shun shouted loudly, "The culprit who killed my Xiangping people is right in front of me, kill me." After speaking, he led the trap camp to rush up.
Badun saw the Han army shouting, "Warriors, we have no way to retreat, rather than being captured and executed, it is better to fight to the end, rush."
The two armies attacked together, and the Han army was small, but they attacked in formation, and there were many Wuhuan people, but there was no order.
I saw that the three Han soldiers were surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers in Wuhuan, and one of them said, "It's enough to kill one today, and it's enough to kill two, brother, we also have a companion on the road." After saying that, he shouted and rushed over and hacked one person to death, and the Wuhuan soldiers also slashed indiscriminately, and the other two saw that they went up to hold the swords, and killed about seven or eight people in the three of them, and finally were hacked to death by the Wuhuan soldiers with all their strength.
As soon as the two armies touched, it had entered the white heat, although the combat effectiveness of the Han army was relatively strong, but the Wuhuan people were numerous, and under the bloody battle of an hour, the Han army retreated one after another.
"Warriors, the Han army can't hold on, and the victory belongs to us."
Wu Huan's morale was immediately high, and he fought hard to kill the Han army, seeing that the Han army was about to be forced out of the city.
At this time, I heard someone shouting, "General Gao, Guan Hai led the army to help."
Gao Shun heard the shouting, "Soldiers, the lord has sent reinforcements, kill me and seize the first credit!" After saying that, the army rushed forward like chicken blood.
The new force led by Guan Hai entered, and the two armies entered a stalemate.
At this time, I only heard a voice shouting, "Warriors of Wuhuan, I am Lou Ban, I killed my father and led the army to burn and kill the prostitution and plunderers, such a disloyal and unrighteous person, is it worth your desperate efforts?" The warriors laid down their arms to greet the Han army, and I guarantee everyone's safety!"
The Wuhuan soldiers were originally supported by the determination to die, but now when they heard that they could not die, they had no spirit on the spot, and some put down their weapons on the spot.
Seeing it, he shouted, "Warriors, don't listen to his nonsense, Lou Ban wants to seek power and usurp the throne, kill his own father and the leaders, and now he is leading the Han army to kill us, we must not believe him, otherwise we will all die."
Tian Chou shouted in Wuhuan language beside Lou Ban, "I am the Han general Tian Chou is also, I am here to help Lou Ban avenge the murder of his father, the Han will not kill innocents indiscriminately, only kill the culprit, everyone put down their weapons, do not be with Badun, I guarantee the safety of everyone's lives"!
Lou Ban continued, "Warriors, don't let Badon be blinded, lay down your weapons, and we can go back to the good old days of herding horses and sheep!"
The Wuhuan soldiers laid down their weapons one after another under the persuasion of Lou Ban and Tian Chou.
In a fit of rage, he angrily hacked to death a Wuhuan soldier who had put down his weapon beside him and shouted, "Give it to me, give it to me, and the reward for killing the building squad is ten thousand." But the Wuhuan soldiers were still indifferent.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, he led more than 100 of his cronies to flee to the north gate and went to take refuge in the Wuhuan Difficult Building.
Zhang He, Gao Shun, Guan Hai, and Tian Chou gathered in Liucheng Shan at this time. Gao Shun said, "Thank you General Guan for coming in time, otherwise our army will suffer heavy losses!"
Guan Hai laughed and said, "The lord ordered me to lead the troops to support you, but I didn't see you all the way, so I hurried all the way, for fear that you would eat alone, but fortunately let me catch up with this big meal!" After saying that, the four of them laughed.
Tian Chou said, "At this time, the troops are cleaning up the battlefield, and our army has also lost a lot in this battle!" So everyone should pay attention to the building class department"!
Zhang He said, "What does Zitai mean, Lou Ban will be opposed"?
Tian Chou said, "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and they have to guard against it."
Gao Shun thought for a while and said, "I will immediately lead people to occupy the four gates, impose a curfew, and arrange sergeants to patrol the streets." After saying that, he got up and left.
Zhang He said, "Do you have any other opinions"?
Tian Chou said, "You should take the Lou Ban to Xiangping as soon as possible, and don't let him take over the power of Wuhuan, otherwise there will be a big disaster."
Zhang He thought and said, "Well, yes, then we will clean up the remnants of Badun and take him back to Xiangping to recover his life." It's just that Liucheng is not easy to fight, and if it is unguarded, I am afraid that it will fall into the hands of Badun."
Tian Chou said, "I am not talented, I am willing to temporarily manage Liucheng, and I will go back to tell the lord and ask him to send someone to take over as soon as possible."
Zhang He said, "Okay, then I will be wronged by Zitai for some time, and I will definitely report to the lord when I go back."
At this time, in a private house in Liucheng, Lou Ban's personal guards recruited Qiu Liju's old department. Lou Ban saw that everyone was gathering and said, "All uncles are friends from their fathers, and they rebelled and killed my father, causing Wuhuan to suffer heavy losses, but Wuhuan can't be left without an owner for a day, I don't know what your uncles think"?
Qiu Liju said, "Lao Shan Yu died, and Lao Shan Yu's son must inherit Shan Yu's position, and we will obey Lou Ban Shan Yu."
Lou Ban said with a happy face, "I will not disappoint everyone, and I will definitely lead Wuhuan to become strong."
Qiu Liju's old department asked, "Now that the Han army in the city is in charge, what should we do?"
Lou Ban thought for a while and said, "The Han army in the city will definitely leave after a while, and then we will still have the final say."
Qiu Liju's old department wanted to say something, but he only heard a shout from the Han army outside, "Listen to the Wuhuan people, in order to prevent the remnants of the army, a curfew is now in place, and if there is a violation, it should be executed by the rebels."
Lou Ban said, "It seems that for the time being, we can only tolerate it, after all, the Han army is strong, let's go back and get busy first, and I will inform you when there is something." After saying that, they dispersed
After three days of purging, Liucheng was completely stabilized. Zhang He, Gao Shun, Guan Hai, and Tian Chou gathered together at this time, and Gao Shun said, "Liucheng is now stable, and we should also return to Xiangping to restore our lives."
Guan Hai and Zhang He echoed and said, "I haven't been back to Xiangping for a long time, and I miss it very much."
Tian Chou said, "Those three generals can be pulled back tomorrow to resume their lives."
Gao Shun said, "This is very good, now we have 5,000 soldiers and horses, I will leave them for you, and only take away the trapped camp, what does Zitai think"?
Tian Chou replied, "Okay, Liucheng does need soldiers and horses at present, and General Gao is so righteous, Zitai is grateful."
Gao Shun said, "Since everyone agrees, then it will be decided."
Early the next morning, Gao Shun, Zhang He, and Guan Hai set off from Liucheng to Xiangping with Lou Ban and the trap camp.
Lou Ban never imagined in his life that this would be the last day he left Liucheng.
