Chapter 379: Capture the county

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The next night, the cavalry led by Ma Wu arrived near the county army camp. In the middle of the night, the cavalry led by Ma Wu launched a surprise attack on the county army camp.

At this time, Xu Lang and He Wang were resting in their respective tents, and suddenly heard that there was a lot of noise outside, and the two walked out of the tents together.

The camp tents of the two of them were next to each other, and after they came out, they glanced at each other, and Xu Lang asked with a puzzled expression: "Lord He, is this ...... What's going on? ”

He Wang's face was also full of inexplicability, and at this moment, a county soldier rode a horse and ran over in a panic.

When He Wang approached, the county soldier jumped off his horse and said urgently, "Huh...... Report to your lordship, the big thing is not good, the Han army has invaded our army's camp! ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang's eyes on the side turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot.

He Wang was quite calm, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, looked at the county soldiers in the place where the message was reported with a cold face, and shouted in a deep voice: "What nonsense! The Han army is still on the other side, how can it suddenly attack our army's camp? ”

"My lord, what the villain said, everything is true, the cavalry of the Han army has entered the camp, and the brothers are powerless to resist......" Before his words fell, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him.

He Wang subconsciously looked behind the county soldiers, and saw several Han cavalry galloping over, and several of his own soldiers shouted and stepped forward to block, but they were all stabbed to the ground by the cavalry's spears.

This situation made Xu Lang scream and hide back in his tent as soon as possible. He Wang grinned secretly, the Han army really came in, could it be that they flew over the riverside with wings?

He didn't have time to think about it, so he got on his horse, turned around and ran.

He wanted to run now, but it was too late, so he rode a horse and ran out of about twenty meters, and rushed to kill two Han cavalrymen, both armed with spears.

He Wang drew his sword to block. Blocking the spears of the two Han cavalrymen, he passed through the middle of the two Han cavalrymen, and when he staggered, He Wang swung a sword to the left and right, and cut off the two Han cavalrymen from their horses.

He was about to continue running forward when a Han general appeared in front of him, blocking his way. This Han army general is a big black face, burly, vicious-looking, holding a nine-eared eight-ring knife, sitting on a horse, majestic.

He Wang saw the person coming from the opposite side, and subconsciously asked, "The name of the person who came is the same name!" ”

"Ma Wu!" This black-faced Han army general is none other than Ma Wu Ma Zizhang.

Now Ma Wuye is no longer a nobody, and after the battle of Kunyang, Ma Wu is also famous. When He Wang heard this, his eyes were dark, and he almost didn't fall off the war horse.

It's not good to meet anyone, how did you meet Ma Wu, the killing god? He didn't even have the desire to do anything with Ma Wu, so he wanted to run.

Ma Wu was willing to let him go, urged the horse to rush up, only blinked an eye, and chased after He Wang's back, the nine-eared and eight-ring knife was raised high, aimed at the back of He Wang's head, and slashed down.

Hearing that the evil wind behind him was not good, He Wang subconsciously turned his head, and saw nothing else, only a cold light flashing towards him.

"Don't ......" He Wang only had time to say a few words, and then, after hearing a click, He Wang's neck was cut off, and the head bounced up from his shoulder.

He Wang, the commander of Runan, didn't even walk in front of Ma Wu, and was cut off by Ma Wu with a knife.

The combat power of the county army is not strong, if it is a water battle, it can still compete with the Han army, and now when it encounters the most elite cavalry of the Han army on land, where can it still resist?

Especially after He Wang was killed and Xu Lang hid in his tent and did not dare to show his head, the Runan County army was defeated faster.

Thousands of county troops were in chaos in the camp at this time, and few people died in the battle, most of them took advantage of the chaos to escape, and some disarmed and surrendered.

This battle, before and after the time added together, did not take an hour before and after, and it was declared over, and Xu Lang, who was hiding in the camp tent, was also pulled out by the Han soldiers and taken to Ma Wu.

Seeing Ma Wu, who was covered in blood and looked like a black-faced killer, Xu Lang was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I surrender, I am willing to surrender to the Han army brothers! ”

Looking at the spineless middle-aged man in front of him, Ma Wu couldn't help laughing, and asked with a cold face, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Lang trembled on the ground and stammered, "In ...... In the lower Runan Taishou, Xu ...... Xu Lang! ”

As soon as he heard that he was the Taishou of Runan, Ma Wu's eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light, and his hand also held the hilt of the sword.

When Xu Lang saw this, his scalp was numb with fright, and the three souls and seven spirits were about to fly out of his body. He bowed his head again and again, and said with a crying voice, "Yes...... Why do you insist on fighting, I ...... I've always advocated surrendering to the Han army......"

A close confidant of Ma Wu walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "My lord, Xu Lang may still be useful to us. ”

Although the county army has been defeated by them, Pingyu has not yet been captured by them, as long as Xu Lang is in their hands, it will become easy to take Pingyu.

When Ma Wu heard this, the hand holding the sword slowly let go, and said, "Take him down and keep him under strict control!" ”

"Yes!" Two soldiers stepped forward, pulled Xu Lang up, and walked to the side.

Subsequently, Ma Wu ordered his men to find those soldiers who could use boats among the prisoners of the county army, and escorted them to row to the opposite bank to receive his own army across the river.

When Ma Wuyi had just attacked the county army camp, Liu Xiu on the other side heard the movement, and Liu Xiu also walked out of his camp tent, stood on the bank of the riverside, and looked at the opposite side.

Liu Xiu and the others couldn't see the specific situation in the county army camp clearly, but when they heard the movement, the sound of chaos became louder and louder, and at first it was only from a corner of the barracks, but it soon spread to the entire barracks.

There was no need to go to the east coast to see, just listening to the movements, Liu Xiu could judge that his own sneak attack was a great success, and the county army had been defeated in the camp. I don't know how long it took, but the sound of fighting on the other side gradually weakened.

After half an hour, Fu Jun pointed to the surface of the river and said urgently: "Lord, a ship is coming!" ”

Hearing this, everyone around Liu Xiu looked in the direction of Fu Jun's finger, and sure enough, in the night, there was a faint fire flickering on the river.

Zhu You immediately escorted Liu Xiu's body, looked nervously at the river, and said, "Could it be the county army fleeing from the other side?" ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "The fighting has stopped for a while before the boat comes, it should be Zizhang who sent someone to pick us up to cross the river." ”

Really. As the ships on the river got closer and closer, through the lit torches on the ships, it was clear that their own soldiers were standing on the deck of the ships.

With these boats captured from the county army, it was not difficult for the Han army to cross the river. By dawn the next day, all the Han troops on the west bank had crossed the riverside and smoothly moved to the county army camp on the east bank.

Liu Xiu once said to Liu Sheng that he could break the county army camp in three days, but he was really just saying it casually, but in fact, it only took three days for the Han army to take the county army camp.

In the county army camp, Liu Xiu met Xu Lang, who was imprisoned. At this time, Xu Lang was wearing a white middle coat, his face was pale, his application was panicked, and he was embarrassed. When he was brought up in front of Liu Xiu by the soldiers of the Han army, Xu Lang's legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground, begging for mercy with a crying voice: "I have always advocated defecting to the Han army, all because of ...... It's all because I want to stick to the main battle, and I can't help it. Please spare the general's life

, please spare your lives......"

For the soft-boned Xu Lang, Ma Wu sneered at it, and looked down on it in his heart, but Liu Xiu felt that Xu Lang could be used by himself.

He walked up to Xu Lang, pulled him up from the ground, and by the way, untied the rope on his body. Xu Lang looked at Liu Xiu blankly and asked, "...... general?"

"Under Liu Xiu."

As soon as he heard Liu Xiu's name, Xu Lang's body was shocked, and he was about to kneel down again, Liu Xiu stopped him in time and asked, "Xu Taishou really joined our army?" ”

Xu Lang nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes!" What the villain said is all from the bottom of his heart, please be clear to the general! ”

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "In this case, Xu Taishou will take me into the city!" ”

As the Pingyu of the county town, the city defense is naturally very strong, and it is better if you can successfully take the Pingyu without a strong attack.

He said: "As long as Xu Taishou can help our army enter Pingyu smoothly, Xu Taishou will have the merit of dedicating the city, not only do not have to worry about being punished, but he can continue to stay in the post of Taishou." ”

When Xu Lang heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed forward, and said in a loud voice: "General Xie's grace not to kill!" The villain thanks the general for not killing, thank the general for his kindness! ”

Liu Xiu smiled, waved his hand at him, and said, "Xu Taishou, please get up!" ”

Pingyu is a county town, not only has an important status, but also involves many and complex aspects. If Liu Xiulai is allowed to take over the county government, it will be impossible for him to do everything in a short period of time, if he chooses someone else to take over the county government, first, it is difficult to find candidates, and second, he may not be able to do well, so the affairs of the county government still have to be handed over to Xu Lang temporarily

This is also the safest way to deal with it.

In addition, staying in Xu Lang also helped the Han army to quickly stabilize the hearts of the people in Pingyu and even the entire Runan.

When the sky was bright, Xu Lang took the Han army and went to Pingyu.

At present, the number of defenders in Pingyu City is only a few hundred, only such a few people, it is not able to defend the city, seeing that the Han army outside the city is still led by Xu Lang, people completely lost the will to resist, opened the city gate, and let the Han army enter the city.

With Xu Lang's help, Liu Xiubu was completely bloodless and stationed in the county town of Pingyu, and took the county town of Runan in one fell swoop.

The news of the Han army's capture of Pingyu soon spread to Yichun, where Liu Sheng was located.

Hearing the news, Liu Sheng couldn't believe his ears, Liu Xiubu actually captured Pingyu so quickly? How did they spend their time on the riverfront? Didn't Liu Xiubu have no ships?

Looking at Liu Sheng, who was surprised, Yan You and Chen Mao looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and the former said: "Holy Father, Liu Xiuqi is very good at using soldiers, unpredictable, Liu Xiubu can capture Pingyu, there is nothing surprising about it!" ”

Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "I just didn't expect that he would capture Pingyu so quickly!" ”

At the beginning, Liu Xiu told him that he could break the county army camp in three days, and he thought that Liu Xiu was talking angrily, but he didn't expect that he could really do what he said, which was also terrible. Chen Mao sighed and said: "At the beginning, we led an army of 100,000 into Nanyang and were defeated by Liu Xiubu, and later Wang Yi and Wang Xun led an army of 400,000 into Yingchuan, but they were still defeated by Liu Xiubu

Fang Ye Tan. Now that Yan You and Chen Mao have been beaten by Liu Xiu, they have lost their temper at all, and they subconsciously feel that if they meet Liu Xiu on the battlefield, they should hide as much as they can, and don't have a head-to-head confrontation with this person.
