Chapter 36: Breaking the Four Counties on a Timed Time (Part II)
On December 28, the fourth year of the first peace, the Spring Festival is coming, the war-torn territory of the Han Dynasty finally ushered in a little festive color, Yong and Liangyi and other states needless to say, every household is full of lights, every household kills pigs and sheep, a joyful scene, even the Central Plains land that has been turbulent for a long time, the princes also temporarily put down the war, reward the three armies, set up a wine feast, in order to boost morale, the poor people pour their money into their homes, cook a pot or two pots of dry rice, and talk about joy. Of course, there are exceptions......
At three o'clock in the morning, outside the four counties of Lingling, Changsha, Guiyang and Wuling in Jingzhou, four heavily armed Dong Zhuojun appeared at the same time, with banners like forests, bright armor, or resisting cloud ladders, or pushing cloud platforms and catapults, and running to the four counties with murderous spirit. And the guards of the four counties have their own concerns, or they are uneasy, or they are waiting for the enemy and disdain, or they grit their teeth and can't wait to open the city to meet the enemy, and some are ready to surrender the book and table, and they are bound to wait on the tower. When the shadow of the stone pillar on Tugui fell on the scale of the first moment of the time, Dong Zhuo's army under the four counties of the city made an earth-shattering war drum at the same time, and the four armies marched at the same time, pointing directly at the city wall of the four counties.
At the beginning of the hour, Lingling, Ma Chaojun killed under the city gate, did not put an arrow on the city, did not throw a stone and a tree, all the defenders of Lingling put down their weapons, the white flag rose to the city tower, the city gate slowly opened, Lingling Taishou Liu Du tied himself with a white scarf, led the city gentry out of the city to surrender, and presented Ma Chaojun with a book of surrender, Lingling household registration roster and mountain and river geographical map, Lingling County officially fell into the hands of Dong Zhuojun, Ma Chao was overjoyed, and the book was sent to Xiangyang, and the banner of the Xiliang Army was fluttering at the head of Lingling City.
At the same time, in Changsha, seven hundred soldiers in the camp wearing ring armor and protective steel helmets, under the leadership of Gao Shun, pushed the cloud platform and slowly approached the Changsha city wall, and Changsha Taishou Han Xuanzao sent Yang Ling, the captain of the military academy, out of the city, lined up and waited, seeing Gao Shun's army coming, Yang Ling came out of the battle with a knife, and scolded: "Dong thief lackey, dare to violate my border!" β
Gao Shun's majestic and solemn face had no joy or anger, but he slowly took the knife out of the battle, and walked to the field, Gao Shun suddenly clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the war horse rose up, Gao Shun's right hand held the big knife slightly behind him, his eyes were staring at Yang Ling, and when he rushed to the front of the Yang Ling horse, Gao Shun shouted, the big knife slashed wildly, bringing up a gust of wind, the big knife did not arrive, the knife wind had already shrouded Yang Ling's whole body, Yang Ling hurriedly raised the knife to parry, the two knives intersected, and made a loud noise, poor Yang Ling was shocked by Gao Shun's big knife and retreated a few steps, the blood in his chest surged, and a breath of turbidity was choked, And Gao Shun didn't give him a chance to breathe, and it was another knife back to the horse, Yang Ling hurriedly parried again, but Gao Shun's knife was a false move, the knife suddenly changed line halfway, and slashed obliquely to Yang Ling's leg, since then Yang Ling's left leg has left his body forever, Yang Ling screamed, and fled back to the formation with injuries, and then Han Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to cover up the kill, trying to seize the upper hand with a numerical advantage, and seven hundred soldiers who fell into the camp shouted in unison and killed together.
In an instant, the sound of killing in the wilderness in front of Changsha City shook the sky, and the Changsha army, which was ten times larger than the trapped camp, completely surrounded the trapped camp, and the trapped camp formed a phalanx without hurrying, relying on the best equipment and strong combat effectiveness in the world, rushing back and forth in the enemy army, invincible, and the most terrible thing about the trapped camp is not its equipment and individual combat ability, but the terrible combat discipline of the trapped camp, seven hundred people are like one person, every time the knife is swung, it is seven hundred quenched and refined sharp blades neatly swinged, so that countless enemy soldiers died under the knife, Although the poor Changsha army has a large number of soldiers, the trapped camp is wearing ring armor forged from hemp steel, no matter how swords, swords, guns, and stabs, there is no threat to the soldiers of the trapped camp......
When Gao Shun and the Changsha army fought viciously, in front of Wuling City, Zhang Xiu personally came to Wuling City with a swagger of the army, Jin Xuan, who was already so angry that his eyes were on fire, had already taken the whole city of military horses out of the city, and waited for Dong Zhuojun in the city. β
"Jin Xuan, is your wife salty?" Three thousand Dong Zhuojun tore their throats and yelled together, and three thousand people asked Hou Jinxuan's flower-like wife together, it can be seen that Jin Xuan's wife is indeed a beauty, maybe a little more beautiful than Diao Chan - at least Diao Chan didn't have so many people asking Hou at the same time.
"Zhang Xiuxiao'er, I swear to kill you!" Jin Xuan was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he screamed and rushed out of the middle formation, rushing straight to Zhang Xiu in front of Dong Zhuojun's formation, and Zhang Xiu asked again unhurriedly, "Jin Xuan, is your wife salty?" Fang just raised his gun out of the battle, the two intersected on the battlefield, the red-eyed Jin Xuan even killed, the moves were all desperate moves, and for a time Zhang Xiu was pressed downwind, Zhang Xiu was not panicked, but carefully parried the Jin Xuan like a mad tiger's rush to kill, and patiently consumed Jin Xuan's sharp energy.
After the battle for twenty or thirty times, Zhang Xiu took the time to send a secret signal to Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er whined and screamed, Zhang Xiu'er's whole army pressed, Hu Che'er did not go up to assist Zhang Xiu, but led an army to kill the Wuling City Gate, Wuling County engaged in Gong Zhi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to close the city, but Hu Che'er had a pair of scuds, the Wuling City suspension bridge had just been pulled up a few feet, Hu Che'er had rushed to the bridge alone, Hu Che'er roared, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, two long legs stomped on the ground, directly on the suspension bridge, and then rushed to the front of the iron cable, The iron stick smashed with all his might, only smashed the corner of the suspension bridge connected to the iron cable, and then rushed to another way to concoct the same method, the suspension bridge more than six zhang long fell to the ground, paving the way for Dong Zhuo's army to enter the city, and the cavalry of Dong Zhuo's army behind quickly poured in and seized the gate of Wuling.
Jin Xuan saw Dong Zhuojun's flying horse seize the city gate, panicked, marksmanship was chaotic, Zhang Xiu grabbed one of his flaws, shouted, the speed of the steel gun suddenly accelerated several times, like a poisonous snake pierced under the Jin Xuan ribs, Jin Xuan vomited blood, fell off the horse and died, Wuling Army saw that the commander was killed, no longer have the fighting spirit, they have put down their weapons and surrendered, when Zhang Xiu rushed to the front of the city, Gong Zhi, who stayed in Wuling City, saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to sigh, hang up the white flag and kneel to surrender......
At three moments, Wuling City fell into the hands of Dong Zhuojun.
Time back to the beginning of the time, Guiyang, Zhao Yunjun carried the seriously injured Fan Juan to Guiyang City, Zhao Yun personally shot a letter of surrender to the city, the book stated that as long as Zhao Ye and Zhao Fan surrendered in Kaicheng, Zhao Yun promised not to hurt the lives of the Zhao brothers, and Zhao Yun, who was concerned about righteousness, also made it clear that he would never compete with Zhao Ye for Fan Juan, in the letter, Zhao Yun gave the Zhao brothers half an hour to consider.
"Big brother, surrender in Kaesong." Zhao Fan hurriedly shouted: "General Zhao will do what he says, the name of benevolence and righteousness is known to the world, don't hesitate any longer!" β
Zhao Ye's face was pale, just staring at Fan Juan lying on the stretcher under the city, gritting his teeth and bleeding without making a sound, at this time, Zhao Ye saw Fan Juan suddenly move, Zhao Yun hurriedly rushed up, holding Fan Juan's little hand What was he saying, and Fan Juan didn't even look at Zhao Ye in the city, just talking to Zhao Yun, seeing this scene, Zhao Ye was gray, and his chest was full of anger, and he roared: "Don't fall, open the city, I want to fight Zhao Yun to the death." β
The closed gate of Guiyang City rumbled open, Zhao Ye led the army out of the city, and Zhao Yunjun shot their own positions, Zhao Ye stepped out and shouted: "Zhao Yun, come out and answer." β
Zhao Yun let go of Fan Juan's hand, patted the horse and said, "Zhao Taishou, do you have any advice?" β
"Zhao Yun, you are from Changshan, and Miss Fan and I are also from Changshan." Zhao Ye gritted his teeth and said: "We are all fellow villagers, and we shouldn't have met each other, but your arrival made Miss Fan only have you and no me in her heart, Miss Fan is my fiancΓ©e, and I have to fight with you." β
"Zhao Taishou misunderstood." Zhao Yun waved his hand again and again: "Although Zhao Yun and Miss Fan Juan have been friends since childhood, Zhao Yun only treats her as a sister, and there is absolutely no love between men and women, and it is not a secret, Zhao Yun has already made a marriage, and the marriage date is next year, can Zhao Taishou understand what Zhao Yun means?" "Zhao Yun rarely said a lie, although he regarded Fan Juan as his sister, but in his heart, he was definitely not without any feelings.
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhao Ye was a little moved, but seeing Fan Juan trying to sit up, looking at Zhao Yun with affection, Zhao Ye's heart immediately fell into the abyss. "Zhao Yun, listen up." Zhao Ye roared with red eyes: "I want to make a bet with you, we will see the real merit in the sword and gun, if you lose, you will leave Miss Fan forever, and you will never see her face again in this life and this life, and then withdraw your troops from Guiyang." If I lose, I will immediately lead the whole city to surrender, and I will never see Miss Fan's side! Zhao Ye knew that he was definitely not Zhao Yun's opponent, but out of male pride, Zhao Ye still decided to fight Zhao Yun to the death.
Zhao Yun hesitated a little, looked at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind him who was ready to go, and then looked at the group of old and weak soldiers under Zhao Ye, who were not even fully equipped. Zhao Yun sighed, put down the anti-scale gun, and said with his back: "Zhao Taishou, I won't fight back, within three moves, if you can hurt me by a hair, even if I lose." β
"General, don't be stupid." A Xiliang Iron Cavalry Leader hurriedly shouted to Zhao Yun: "Don't take risks, give us a pillar of incense time, and we can kill all these enemy troops!" Xiliang Iron Riders shouted one after another, and they all advised Zhao Yun not to take risks.
"It doesn't matter, don't do it until you give the order." Zhao Yun said lightly, suppressing the call of Xiliang Tieqi, Zhao Yun turned to Zhao Ye and said, "Zhao Taishou, do you dare to bet?" β
Zhao Ye was angry that Zhao Yun looked down on him, and he was overjoyed, and said in his heart that this was your own doing! yelled, "Okay, bet on it!" In the shouting in his mouth, Zhao Ye had already slapped his horse and speared, stabbing Zhao Yun directly in the lower abdomen, Zhao Ye's despicable actions, not only the Xiliang Iron Cavalry shouted loudly, but even the frightened Guiyang Army was talking about it.
"First move!" In Zhao Yun's loud shouting, the tiger's body twisted to the side, just flashing Zhao Ye's steel gun, at this moment Zhao Ye couldn't care about any face, the steel gun didn't wait to be retracted, and directly swept Zhao Yun's waist in mid-air, Zhao Yun said no, as long as Zhao Ye could touch his body, even if Zhao Yun lost. A good Zhao Yun, seeing that the spear was swept away, he lay down on his vest between the electric light and flint, and lay down on the back of a horse, Zhao Ye's steel spear swept dangerously against his lower abdomen.
"It's the second move." Dong Zhuojun thundered with joy, Zhao Yun got up and said calmly: "You still have a chance." β
Zhao Ye closed his eyes and was silent, trying to calm himself down, and only after his breathing calmed down did Zhao Ye open his eyes, hold the steel gun tightly with both hands, stared at Zhao Yun's heart, and said word by word: "Okay, the third move is here!" "The legs clamped the horse's belly violently, the war horse ran wildly in pain, Zhao Ye's body was surprisingly stable in the bumps, aiming at Zhao Yun's heart socket, and stabbing out with the strength of his whole body!
"Up!" Zhao Yun shouted, his feet jumped more than six feet high from the stirrups, and he jumped into the air to flash Zhao Ye's fatal blow.
"Good!" This time, it was not only the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that applauded, but even the Guiyang army cheered, and they all admired Zhao Yun's peerless martial arts. And Zhao Ye was applauded by the enemy and our armies for Zhao Yun, his face was as pale as a dead man, and he slowly fell off his horse, knelt on the ground and hung his head silently.
At this time, the city gate of Guiyang City suddenly opened, Zhao Fan ran out of the city with the seal letter of Guiyang Taishou, ran to Zhao Yunma and knelt down, and wept: "General Zhao is benevolent and righteous, I am willing to surrender, and I only ask General Zhao to spare the life of my brother." β
Zhao Yun hurriedly dismounted and helped Zhao Fan up, and said warmly: "General Zhao doesn't need to panic, the first article in the military order of Taishi Dong is that no prisoners are allowed, and General Zhao's family will surrender, and Taishi will definitely be reused." β
Before Zhao Yun's words fell, Zhao Fan suddenly shouted, "Big brother, don't!" Zhao Yun hurriedly turned around, but saw that Zhao Ye had already put the sword on his waist to his neck......
At noon, Guiyang City surrendered, and Guiyang Taishou Zhao killed himself at night......
"Quick, close the gates!" On Changsha City, Han Xuan shouted frantically, commanding the defeated army to close the Changsha City Gate, and the army that was still fighting hard with the trapped camp outside the city, the cruel and ruthless Han Xuan couldn't care so much.
From the beginning of the war to the present, in just one hour, the trapped camp has beheaded more than 3,000, no matter how many poor Changsha troops are, but the equipment and training are far inferior to the trapped camp, and there is no strong general commander, in front of the trapped camp armed to the teeth, there is only the result of rotational training, but this is not ordinary training, but bloody battles.
"Leave the defeated soldiers alone." Gao Shun looked at the Changsha army that was fleeing everywhere, and said lightly: "Go push Yuntai and attack the city." β
Four gimbals as high as eight zhang and three zhang wide rumbled over, and Han Xuan was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Release the arrows, release the arrows, release the arrows quickly!" "The warlord cut down several chaotic soldiers in a row, and a rain of arrows finally fell on the tower of Changsha City, and it became more and more dense, but the defenders of Changsha soon found that as soon as their feather arrows touched the body of the trapped camp soldiers, they fell to the ground one after another, and some arrows were inserted into the trapped camp soldiers, but the strange thing is that those arrows could not pierce the bodies of the trapped camp soldiers at all, but only hung horizontally and vertically on the bodies of the trapped camp soldiers, and fell when they touched them.
"Why are bows and arrows useless to them?" Han Xuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, almost thinking that the camp was blessed by gods and ghosts, and a soldier of the Changsha Army who escaped from the battlefield and returned to the city answered his question, "Lord Taishou, the enemy is all wearing steel armor made of steel rings, not to mention bows and arrows, our swords and guns can't hurt them." β
"What then?" No one could answer Han Xuan's question anymore, and the defenders of Changsha could only see the Yuntai on the wall in great horror, and those monsters and enemies who couldn't be killed poured up the city wall along the Yuntai......
"The Great Han Dynasty Dong Taishi has an order, Han Xuan is cruel and unkind, our army only beheads Han Xuan, and the rest will not be investigated!" Gao Shun shouted, strode up the city tower, blocked Han Xuan, who was trying to jump off the building to escape, the steel knife fell, and blood splattered......
On December 28 of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Shun killed Han Xuan, the demoralized Changsha army, and then surrendered, and the last county of the four counties of Jingzhou finally fell into the hands of the Xiliang army, so far, the Xiliang army basically completely controlled the entire territory of Jingzhou.
