Chapter 344: Zhang He's Siege (6th Update)
Zhang Ming inspected it, and the candidates really had everyone.
There are old ones, there are young ones, there are rich sons, and there are children of poor families.
"This topic..."
"Hahaha, this is a new and interesting question."
"It's time to use my expertise."
"The army is out, can I go back after the exam?"
"This topic, a strategy to write hundreds of words..."
"This is my chance to make a name for myself." At the beginning of the imperial examination, the students began to take it seriously.
Students from outside Youzhou need to take the exam for two days, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
And the students in Youzhou already have the appearance of the college entrance examination in the future, which takes three days.
At the beginning of the imperial examination, Zhang Ming made a brief inspection.
The order of the examination room was relatively good, and Zhang Ming went to see the students in Youzhou again.
The candidates in Youzhou are very orderly, and they learn to obey the order very early.
After Zhang Ming finished reading it, he then went to the city.
Walking to the head of the city, the soldiers were on standby.
"Zhang Heke can be."
Zhang Ming shouted at the head of the city.
Soon, Zhang He came with a megaphone in his hand.
"General Zhang He, the imperial examination has been carried out smoothly, and thank you for coming to attend the wedding below, your gift is very special."
Zhang Ming's shout made Zhang He very anxious.
In his heart, he did not think that the imperial examination needed to be stopped, which was a manifestation of the progress of the times.
But Zhang He is a soldier, and he has no choice when he gives an order, and his task is to prevent Zhang Ming from holding the imperial examination.
Now that it has started and is still going well, then his task is a failure.
As a general, an order is an order.
Desperate to stop.
"Protector General, don't be obsessed, my army will immediately start attacking the city, and when the army arrives, you will regret it."
Zhang He is fulfilling his mission.
Zhang Ming didn't say much, and Zhang He left.
After emergency construction, a number of ladders were built day and night.
Zhang He was about to start attacking the city.
All 30,000 cavalry dismounted, and they began to attack with ladders on their shoulders.
"Why bother?"
Zhang Ming shook his head, Zhang He was seriously ill-prepared, and he was simply here to die.
Zhang He naturally knew that he was a generation of famous generals, how could he not understand that this was a death.
However, he is a soldier and must do his best to complete the mission.
The army began to fight, and Zhang He commanded the army to begin to charge the city.
Immediately, the shouting of killing shook the sky.
Inside the city, the candidates in the two examination rooms heard the shouts of killing outside the city.
Many trembled, many feared.
Although these scholars are in troubled times, not everyone can hear this shouting of killing.
What's more, many of them knew that Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 people was coming.
They didn't know how many people were outside the city, they didn't know if Zhang Ming could stop it, and they didn't know if Yuan Shao's army would do anything to them when they came in.
Some of the students were scared and immediately went out of sorts.
Many candidates are so nervous that they don't know how to answer the questions.
Of course, there are many candidates who are not affected.
Candidates in both test rooms were affected.
Zhang Ming stood at the head of the city and did not direct the battle.
He stood at the head of the city and watched Zhang He's army attack.
At the top of the city, the soldiers were well prepared, and with arrows alone, they could mostly block the onslaught of the enemy.
Zhang He stormed two walls, but the other two did not attack.
Thousands of people were arranged to launch an assault at a time.
Under the city, a part of the elite cavalry used cavalry to attack the head of the city.
The two sides come and go, and it is very lively.
Zhang He did not hesitate to suffer casualties, and attacked wave after wave.
One wave was repulsed, and another wave came.
Zhang Ming watched from the top of the city, and after a while, he arrived at the protected city gate tower and made tea there.
After a while, Zhou Yu, Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu and Chen Gong came.
"The protector general really has Yaxing." Zhou Yu spoke first.
"There is no need to pay too much attention to a war whose outcome is already known."
Zhang Ming invited them to sit, and even Ma Yunlu sat down together.
Ma Yunlu is in Xiliang, living with the Hu people, and there are not so many rules.
Zhang Ming poured tea for each of them.
Chen Gong said: "General Protector, sometimes I really admire your courage, Yuan Shao wants to get rid of him quickly, offend him, I'm afraid you will have to face his anger alone." ”
Zhang Ming took a sip of tea indifferently and said: "If he can't fight, he will naturally stop fighting in the future, if he wants to destroy my Youzhou, I'm afraid Yuan Shao will have to transfer another 200,000 troops over." ”
A few people were chatting on the city gate, but there was a sound of killing outside, and Zhang He's army had been attacking.
Zhang He didn't dare to stop, he had to keep attacking.
Since it is no longer possible to prevent the imperial examination, it must be affected.
Others have a chance, as long as they score in before the results are announced.
A few people chatted, completely ignoring the situation outside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any favorite students? I advise you to stay here for a longer period of time, the results of the exam are out, it is expected to take twenty days, and we will publish the first 500 exam papers, and you can all check them at that time. ”
Several people turned to the imperial examinations.
Ma Yunlu suddenly asked: "You are all in vain, it is estimated that when the results come out, you will not be able to keep a few people." ”
This Ma Yunlu is very spicy, and there is no etiquette at all.
Of course, Zhang Ming didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "I have to do none of them, your family wants to monopolize for a long time, and I want to break all this, although I can't get these talents in a short time, but after a long time, at least there will be a lot of civilians to study." ”
"These civilians will be the majority, and they will be used by me when they develop slowly in the future."
Zhang Ming's words kept them from saying anything more, and Zhang Ming could indeed do this.
A few people drank tea with a relaxed expression.
Under the city, Zhang He had already launched several rounds of attacks, and the casualties were huge.
Zhang He can't stop, at least he must always attack when the candidate is taking the exam, and he can't destroy it and affect it.
And not far from the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, Yan Liangwen and Xi Zhicai were still facing each other at this time.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou launched two tentative attacks, and Xi Zhicai still had a lot of arrows.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou had no choice, they pinned their hopes on Zhang He.
However, the result disappointed them, Zhang He could not break through the new city of Beiping at all, and the imperial examination continued.
Zhao Yun has already penetrated deep into Jizhou, destroying everywhere, and he has broken through another city.
Zhao Yun asked people to disguise themselves as ordinary people, entered the city, and suddenly launched an attack when the number of people was at its highest, occupying the city.
Zhao Yun occupied the city, burned down the warehouses of the government in the city, and killed the officials.
Zhao Yun did not attack the ordinary people, nor did he attack the family, and after breaking through the city, he left immediately.
At this time, Yuan Jun could no longer tolerate Zhao Yun.
Yuan Shao urgently sent Chun Yuqiong to lead an army of 20,000 to pursue and kill Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun entered the sea like a dragon, led 10,000 cavalry, and attacked everywhere.
Zhao Yun didn't make many moves, and the impact was huge, which made the entire Jizhou people panic.
