Chapter 392: Gao Shun occupies Pengcheng
The guards of Pengcheng immediately began to mobilize.
The soldiers went out into the streets to arrest people.
"Cao Jun has captured the strong man."
"Cao Jun kills people."
"Cao Jun wants to demolish our house."
"Cao Jun is a demon."
A group of people began to shout and scream, very uncooperative.
In fact, there are also Zhang Ming's spies in Pengcheng, but there are not many.
It is also very useful to be able to help yell a few times when it is critical.
The people in Pengcheng were very uncooperative.
Soldiers sent out did not do much.
They can't just arrest people, can they?
If you really catch it, it won't have much effect, and if you don't cooperate sincerely, you may cause a lot of trouble at that time.
Cao's generals had their soldiers beat some of the thorns in an attempt to force them to comply.
It went well at first, but Zhang Ming's undercover agent suddenly jumped out to resist, causing the scene to get out of control for a while.
In the chaos, the last few Cao soldiers killed a few people in a hurry.
"Murder."
"Run, run."
The scene was even more chaotic, with some people running away and others being controlled.
Under the threat of Cao's long knife, many civilians had to cooperate.
The people began to help transport rocks and rolling logs.
However, there were very few supplies in the city.
"Demolish the people's houses and subsidize them with the money from the government treasury."
Demolition of the house.
Demolishing the people's houses, if it is in line with the interests of the people, plus there is a subsidy, the people are willing.
However, Cao Jun had a bad reputation in Xuzhou, and the people were unwilling to cooperate.
Soon, the news of Cao Jun's demolition of people's houses spread.
Some people who don't know the truth are rumoring that Cao Jun used a knife to coerce the people to demolish the house.
The defenders were not many, because they were undermanned, and the gates had to be guarded.
Otherwise, once attacked, who will defend.
The guards used means to force everyone down and start working for them.
And Gao Shun still let the soldiers outside the news at this time.
They brought with them a lot of siege equipment, but not a lot.
Later, Zhang Ming had people urgently sent from the surrounding cities.
Inside the city, there was chaos.
But in the end, the materials for defending the city were slowly transported to the city.
The guards were satisfied, and slowly transported the supplies.
"Very good, dismantle more, we will stay here for at least half a month." The guard general said to several lieutenants.
The crowd began to get busy, with two thousand defenders guarding the walls and a thousand guarding the gates.
The other 2,000 defenders went to arrange for the people to deliver supplies to the city.
After some operations, houses were demolished one after another.
In the city, there were several spies from Zhang Ming's side.
Now, Zhang Ming's spies have spread to the entire Han Dynasty.
Most of them just let them collect some local people's information, and also assist in the sale of newspapers and other things.
At this time, several people get together.
"We've got to do something."
"That's right, the lord and the prince are here, and I finally have a chance to serve the lord."
"But there are six of us, what can we do?"
Everyone was thinking that there were indeed too few people.
After a while, one of them said, "Why don't we set fire to it and cause chaos, and also inform the army outside the city to attack." ”
The crowd thought it was feasible.
"The main bus generation, safety first, our role is very critical time, so we have to protect ourselves."
"After setting the fire, we must leave immediately, not to stay longer, not to participate in the follow-up, we will start to prepare, half an hour later, we will meet here, and then we will go to set fire."
The crowd began to prepare, and they planned to burn several places in the surrounding neighborhood together.
The fire will not be very large and can be controlled.
They split up and prepared something to start the fire.
An hour later, several people came one after another.
"Okay, it's all here, remember, after setting the fire, you must evacuate immediately, no one is allowed to stay."
"Do it."
The crowd dispersed again.
Several people lit torches and then began to set fires.
Previously, they had placed dry wood and hay in the area where the fire was to be set on fire.
Lit a fire and burned the house to the ground.
After lighting several places in succession, the crowd threw the torches into a pile of dry wood, and then the crowd dispersed.
The crowd soon retreated.
Many people found them, but they did not dare to say anything.
After a while, the fire grew larger.
"It's on fire."
"Cao Jun killed people and set fires."
"Damn Cao Jun, this is not for us to have a way to live."
"Run, Cao Jun is coming to kill."
Suddenly, the scene was very chaotic.
Many people didn't know the situation, and some people shouted a few words and believed it.
Suddenly, the whole city was in chaos.
"Damn Cao Jun, fight with them."
"Cao Jun, this is not giving us a way to live."
In the chaotic city, many people who were demolishing houses for Cao Jun and transporting supplies suddenly stopped working.
Many people threw rocks and rolling logs at them.
Some people rushed up to grab Cao Jun's weapons.
When there was chaos, Cao Jun naturally killed people indiscriminately.
This also made the people angry, and the two sides clashed together.
There were not many soldiers in the Cao army, and it was not good to be besieged and stoned to death by angry people.
They didn't have any formation, one person was surrounded by several people.
More and more people are joining.
Outside the city, Gao Shun saw thick smoke.
"Order, the whole army is ready for battle."
I don't know if it's true or not.
But it doesn't matter, even if it's fake, if you withdraw it, they can afford to lose.
So, Gao Shun, who had not planned to attack, decisively ordered an attack.
Gao Shun ordered an attack, and the soldiers attacked the city on all sides.
Because, Gao Shun knew that their defenders were not enough.
After Gao Shun and the others began to attack, they found that the situation was even better.
There were two thousand troops at the head of the city, and they were to be scattered among the four gates.
There are only 500 people at one city gate, how can it be blocked.
Just half an hour after the attack, the supplies on the city were exhausted.
Without supplies, the defenders lost their courage, and there were many casualties.
So, the soldiers collapsed, and the defenders ran away.
"Kill them all."
Gao Shun launched a general attack and even killed the trapped camp.
Soon the army descended along the city.
Cao's army was in chaos, most of them were killed, and a few escaped with the city gates opened.
Gao Shun captured Pengcheng.
"Clear the streets and let the people go back."
There was chaos on the streets, and Gao Shun and they told all the people to go back.
Seeing that most of Cao's army had been killed, these people were also quite happy and went back one after another.
I wasn't afraid just now, but now I see the sergeant with armor, although it is Zhang Ming's army, but they are also afraid.
Gao Shun also asked people to extinguish the fire.
Then there was the transport of the bodies and the cleaning of the streets.
For the people whose houses were burned and who were killed by Cao Cao, Gao Shun gave them a part of the food grabbing to appease them.
In the city, normal order is slowly restored.
The people finally looked forward to Zhang Ming's army.
"Tell the lord quickly, we occupy Pengcheng."
Gao Shun didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
The main thing is that Cao Jun is in Xuzhou, and the situation is really not optimistic.
It's time to pay back what they did.
