Chapter 176: Night Attack on Hanyang
Immediately go to the west gate of Hanyang City to command Yuhua and his soldiers and horses to guard the west gate. Cheng Yu said.
"No!" Xi Zhicai said, in fact, they are usually good friends, and there are not so many rules for speaking, but today's situation is special, and when Xi Zhicai saw Cheng Yu's serious expression, he naturally agreed according to the rules.
"Zijin and Du Wan, you lead your personal guards, plus the three hundred servants to arrest quickly, you must maintain law and order in Hanyang City, but those who disrupt the order and make trouble will not be forgiven! In addition, there will be a curfew in Hanyang City from today. The four doors are closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Cheng Yu said.
"Duke Zhongde, we have taken away all the officials of the county guard's mansion, what about the safety of the county guard's mansion and you?" Zhang Ren asked.
"Don't forget, I still have the two hundred guards sent by the lord to protect me? I don't have anything to do here, as long as you maintain law and order in Hanyang City, I won't be afraid of anything here. Go ahead! Cheng Yu said.
"No!" The two saw that there was no other way, so they had no choice but to respond.
"You, immediately send a letter to the lord, explain our situation here, and let the lord return to the army as soon as possible." Cheng Yu said to a personal guard.
"No!" The guard responded.
"You, go to the lord's mansion immediately, go there to find Captain Zhou, and tell him that he must guard the lord's mansion and protect the lord's family, and you must be more careful these days, especially at night." Cheng Yu said to another guard.
"No!" Another guard responded.
How to arrange this mileage, we don't need to go into details, let's talk about the south gate of Hanyang City, Liao Hua stood on the city wall with a serious face, observing the enemy situation outside Hanyang City.
Among the enemy troops outside Hanyang City, who are these soldiers and horses of less than 2,000 people, Liao Hua and others really guessed correctly, these people are bandits who are active in Wudu and Yinping two counties, as for why there are bandits in the Eastern Han Dynasty, I don't need to say that you all understand that it would be strange if there were no bandits in this era.
The bandits outside the south gate were led by Li Da, and the bandits outside the west gate were led by Liu Er, these two people were originally small leaders under Chang Xuan, and Chang Feng was a thief who was active near Mount Tai, because Chang Feng this person was capricious and murderous, these two people felt that they would have to be killed by Chang Feng sooner or later, so they took advantage of an opportunity for Chang Feng to go out to rob, with their own men and horses, and fled to the junction of Hanzhong and Liangzhou, and the two of them later fought for the position of the big leader, and turned against each other, Since then, they have parted ways with strangers, since Fu Lin came to Hanyang County, the bandits near Hanyang County either let Fu Lin exterminate and surrender, or were beaten away by Fu Lin, it can be said that Hanyang County is a rare safe place in the Han Dynasty, so these two people were also forced to leave Hanyang County, in fact, they were also beaten away by Fu Lin's men.
Moreover, Li Da and Liu Er, these two people, have fought with Fu Lin's soldiers and horses several times, and they will be defeated every time, this is still without Fu Lin's knowledge, and it is normal for Fu Lin not to know about it, what kind of goods are these two people, casually under Fu Lin's hands, pulling out a battalion of soldiers and horses can destroy them in minutes, if it weren't for the good leg work of these two people, they would have been wiped out a long time ago.
The generals under Fu Lin naturally won't alarm Fu Lin for the sake of these two little thieves.
As for Li Da and Liu Er, how did they rush to attack Hanyang City, the credit for this has to be attributed to the Zhang family, specifically Zhang Qiang.
The conspiracy of the Zhang family included Zhang Lu who colluded with Wudu, and Yan Xing of the Dunhuang army, and in the end, Zhang Wang felt that this was not too sure, so he sent his son Zhang Qiang to visit these two groups of bandits with heavy gifts. As for how Zhang Qiang persuaded them, it was nothing more than money bribes and some empty promises.
Therefore, these two groups of bandits are going to attack Hanyang City today, and the bandits outside the south gate are Li Da's men.
In the middle of the team, a person who looked like a lewd prince of a family was saying to Li Da with a flattering face: "Big leader, let's attack the city quickly!" As long as you break through Hanyang City, there are many good things in the city, and you can have as many money and beautiful women as you want. "The person who spoke was Zhang Qiang.
Actually, Zhang Qiang himself didn't know, this was the first time he persuaded Li Da to attack the city, and the Zhang family also knew that they wouldn't be able to capture Hanyang, but one was that the Zhang family had a fluke mentality, wouldn't it be better if these bandits captured Hanyang? In any case, Hanyang City is very empty now, which the Zhang family knows very well, and the other point is that the Zhang family has a bigger conspiracy.
Li Da finally couldn't resist Zhang Qiang's persuasion, and the benefits and promises given by the Zhang family, so Li Da cleared his throat and shouted: "Brothers, if you attack the city, as long as you capture Hanyang, you can loot in the city for three days, and everything you grab belongs to you." Kill! ”
Kill!
In this way, the siege of the south gate began, and at the same time, Liu Er of the west gate was also bewitched by Zhang Bao, the second eldest of the Zhang family.
The second gate in the southwest of Hanyang had a battle at the same time, but it was a pity that Li Da and Liu Er's men and horses were backward in equipment and loose in military discipline, so it was almost the same to let these bandits rob the common people, and it was a joke to attack Hanyang, which was defended by Fu Lin's men, although Hanyang City was now very empty and lacking in troops. That's not something they can touch.
However, although these two groups of bandits could not capture Hanyang City, these bandits also had their own methods, they tried to minimize their casualties, retreated if they couldn't capture it, and killed them back after a while, just like a dogskin plaster, Liao Hua and Xi Zhicai were firmly contained on the second gate in the southwest, although Zhang Qiang and Zhang Bao were disappointed, but now the result is acceptable to the Zhang family.
At the south gate of Hanyang, Liao Hua led a battalion of 800 Suzaku and once again repelled Li Da's attack. Although the 800 casualties under Liao Hua were not large, they were very tired from the disturbance of these bandits, and the equipment used to defend the city was very expensive.
"General, these rabble bandits, it's a dream to capture Hanyang City. General Liao is relieved. A tun chief said.
But Liao Hua frowned, he had a bad feeling, but Liao Hua couldn't think of anything yet, Liao Hua did everything he had to do, and everything he thought of was reported to Cheng Yu.
Because it was late, Li Da's soldiers and horses outside the city retreated ten miles to the village, no matter how careful this war was also casualties, Li Da suffered more than 200 brothers in the siege of the city during the day, which made Li Da very distressed, these people were Li Da used various means, little by little to deceive to have today's people. Before the war was too long, he had killed and wounded these brothers, and Li Tiantian would not be happy.
Li Da military camp, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Da sat on the main seat, and his subordinates were seated below, and the first person to sit on the left hand was Zhang Qiang.
"Zhang Gongzi, I lost more than 200 brothers in today's battle, and we said that the conditions should be added to the three layers, otherwise I will withdraw from the army." Li Da said.
As soon as Zhang Qiang heard Li Da's words, his face was very ugly, but after a while, Zhang Qiang's face returned to normal, Zhang Qiang took a deep breath and was about to speak, when a person suddenly came in from outside, this person walked to Zhang Qiang's side and whispered a few words beside Zhang Qiang.
