Chapter 197: Guangzong Siege Battle
"Huh... Isn't it the day that the sky is going to die, and I am waiting? ”
Bocai Peng saw Zhang Bao's face that seemed to have become old in an instant, and the two of them trembled in their hearts, and immediately understood that Guangzong's war must be in danger. Peng couldn't bear the pressure and asked Zhang Bao, who told Guangzong all the dangers he was in at the moment, and told him why he and Liu Pi wanted to come to Yingchuan.
After hearing this, Bocai Peng's heart was half cold, they originally wanted to lead the remnants of the army to join Guangzong, but they didn't expect Guangzong's current situation to be so critical.
"The subordinates are incompetent, ineffective, and have the highest expectations!"
Bocai Peng got off the saddle and dismounted, and knelt down with fists in unison to confess his guilt. Zhang Bao waved his hand, he understood that now was not the time to blame these two people, and after Ling Bocai stood up, Zhang Bao said with a solemn face.
"Yingchuan has been lost, it has become a fact, and it is difficult to change it. At the moment, we should quickly lead the troops back to Guangzong, with this 30,000-strong heavenly army to join, Guangzong will be able to defend and attack. As long as Guangzong wins, the morale of the rest of the heavenly armies will definitely increase, and it will be good to recapture Yingchuan at that time. ”
Bocai Peng Tuo heard that Zhang Bao did not pursue the defeat of the two of them, and his heart was extremely moved, and he immediately knelt down again, saying that after going to Guangzong, he would definitely make meritorious contributions and help Tiangong defeat the court soldiers and horses led by Lu Zhi.
After Zhang Bao and Bocai Peng Tuo discussed for a while, they reorganized the remnants of the army and rearranged the formation. Zhang Bao is known as the general of Digong and Zhang Jiao's own brother, and has a very high prestige in the Yellow Turban Thief Army, and his arrival is also a great shock to the morale of this remnant army. Under Zhang Bao's command and eloquent speech, the thief army, which was in high spirits and demoralized, regained its morale and rushed to Guangzong with great momentum.
Zhang Bao led Bocai, Peng Tuo, Liu Pi and other generals, and 30,000 thieves returned to Guangzong. After the victory, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun sent the battle report back to the imperial court. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed, and ordered Huangfu Song to go north to Dongjun to attack the thief army led by Bu Ji. Zhu Jun led another group of court soldiers and horses to attack Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang.
At the same time, Lu Zhi won several consecutive victories over the thief's first corner, defeated the thief army, and the good news of killing nearly 100,000 captured thieves also reached Luoyang. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed, if Lu Zhi's victory or defeat in Guangzong and Zhang Jiao was certain, then the morale of the thieves in the world would be greatly reduced, and in this way, the day of quelling the chaos and thieves was not far off.
However, after Zhang Rang's secret discussion with Zhao Zhong that day, Zhang Rang seemed to have changed a lot, and even began to win over some military attachés who held military power. Among them, the head of the eight captains in the West Garden, the powerful captain of the military academy, Jian Shuo, has been drawn to Zhang Rang's side. Jian Shuo was originally a eunuch, although he belonged to He Jin, but Jian Shuo understood that He Jin looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, for no other reason, because Jian Shuo was not in good health.
But Zhang let them be different, they had a lot of respect for Jian Shuo, and Zhang Rang did not excessively woo Jian Shuo at that time, because Zhang Rang understood the way to be a minister. At that time, the ten permanent servants were already in power, and if they won over Jian Shuo, who had heavy troops, it would definitely cause the jealousy of Emperor Ling of Han.
But at this moment and that time, if Zhang Rang wants to take a black road, then he must be black to the end, from the moment he made up his mind, life and death have long been left behind!
Jian Shuo and Zhang Rang and others can be said to be the same fallen people at the end of the world. Under Zhang Rang's repeated persuasion and temptation, I don't know what magical tricks Zhang Rang used, and he actually pulled Jian Shuo and some of his subordinates to his side. At the same time, Zhang Rang also set his sights on the princes with heavy troops in the states and counties outside the capital.
After Zhang Rang and his subordinates discussed a lot, they decided to pick up one person, this person is greedy for money, lustful and ambitious, almost everything good, he wants, and it is very easy to win. And he has also had a lot of private transactions with the Ten Standing Servants in the past, so he has a lot of handles in Zhang Rang's hands, and Zhang Rang is not afraid that he will rebel.
Having said all that, who is this person? It is the cruel and wicked man who ignores the Han family in the future, sleeps in the palace and rapes the concubine, treats the palace as his own back garden, and abolishes the emperor and burns Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying!
Dong Zhuo became a Yulin Lang with the background of a 'good family', served as the military Sima, and followed Zhonglang to put down the rebellion of some ethnic minorities in Xiliang with Zhang Huan.
This person is heavy on military power, often because of the protection of soldiers, unwilling to fight to the death with the enemy, reported by Zhang Huan, dismissed the official several times, and then sent someone Xu to Luoyang to Luoyang ten permanent servants Zhang Rang and others, with the help of Zhang Rang and others, after the dismissal of the official, he became bigger and bigger, and later used a trick to make the ethnic minorities in Xiliang turn against each other, and then pacified the thieves in one fell swoop, and made a lot of contributions.
Zhang Rang knew that he had ambitions, and after secretly discussing with him, Dong Zhuo accepted the deal with Zhang Rang at the suggestion of his chief adviser and son-in-law, Li Ru. For the time being, he stood on Zhang's side.
Of course, Zhang Rang had to pay some bargaining chips to Dong Zhuo, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, under the persuasion of Zhang Rang, gave Dong Zhuo great power and appointed him as the general of Dongzhong Lang and held the festival. Give the soldiers and horses heavy armor, and order him to lead 20,000 troops to Guangzong to reinforce Lu Zhi. Dong Zhuo, who was funded by the feudal officials and soldiers and horses, was overjoyed to reorganize the soldiers and horses in Xiliang at the moment, preparing to aid Guangzong.
And at this time, in Gwangjong. The fighting intensified.
Lu Zhi led the army to besiege Guangzong City, building blocks, digging trenches, creating ladders, the imperial court soldiers and horses attacked Guangzong for half a month, and the female wall under Guangzong City was about to be defeated by the surging offensives of the court soldiers and horses like a sea tide, if it were not for the Guangzong City, the thieves were numerous, and used one life after another to block the crazy attack of the court soldiers and horses, Guangzong City would have been broken long ago.
Outside the city of Guangzong, the smoke of gunpowder continued, the city wall was full of holes, the city wall was full of dead bodies, and the soil in the trench was dyed red. Within ten miles, there was a strong smell of blood.
"Archers obey! Shoot the arrow!! ”
Not far outside the city, Lu Zhi's white beard was dyed red, swinging with the wind, holding his sword high and waving, the archers behind him immediately released a wave of rockets, one by one of the fiery arrows, densely covered the void, and fell in the middle of the city wall.
Woohoo blah blah.
In this month and a half, the sound of these arrows breaking through the void has become the Huangquan bell of the Yellow Turban Thief Army, and the Yellow Turban Thief who was hit by the arrow was full of fire, frantically fighting to the death, shouting water and water fiercely, but after several and a half months of siege battles, the water in Guangzong City was almost used up. Water is precious, and now it can only be used for consumption.
Burning thieves continued to fall from under the city walls, and Wen Han's delicate face was blackened by the surrounding gunsmoke, and there were also some dried blood stains.
Wen Han stared at the Guangzong city wall with an expressionless face, the killing in this half a month made him seem to become numb, the thief army did kill a lot of people, but the imperial army also killed a lot. However, to Wen Han's slight comfort, except for the battle half a month ago, after killing 380 people, the Black Wind Cavalry has not been killed in battle.
These three hundred and eighty people were buried by Wen Han, Guan Yu and the Black Wind Rider who had been stocked. This incident has become a good story in Lu Zhijun. The death of every soldier of the Black Wind Cavalry will make Wen Han extremely sad, these people are not only his trump cards, but also his family members who are like brothers and sisters.
And Lu Zhi also understood, don't look at the Black Wind Cavalry, only more than 380 people died, for other soldiers and horses, this number of casualties is harmless.
However, as long as anyone who has seen the combat power of the Black Wind Cavalry understands that each of these soldiers is worth a thousand gold, and their combat power is superb, each of them can be worth ten people, and at a glance, it is clear that their generals have spent a lot of effort on it.
"Ten days, just ten more days! Gwangjong City will be broken! For the sake of the Han, for our families not to be swallowed up by the war, as long as they hold on for another ten days! The thieves will be defeated! At that time, everyone who survives will be martyrs, heroes!! The imperial court will not have any soldiers who have fought bloodily for us, and there will be heavy rewards!! Rush !! ”
Lu Zhi waved his sword again, and the order to launch an attack was suddenly loud, and one after another cloud ladders were pushed towards the city wall of Guangzong. Under this half-month offensive and defensive battle, there were less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left under Lu Zhi's command, and there were less than 30,000 people left on the thief army's side, and the thief army was besieged for half a month, the grain and grass were almost exhausted, and the morale was low.
Just like Lu Zhi's words, within ten days, the winner will be divided!
"Rush! For the sake of the Han, for the sake of the family!! ”
A full 20,000 soldiers and horses, from the southeast, northwest, and four directions, responded in unison, the momentum was as loud as shaking the sky, Wen Han originally brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, only more than 3,500 people remained, they were led by Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang to attack the east city wall. The western city wall was attacked by the three brothers Liu Pan and Zhang. As for the other two sides of the north and south walls, Lu Zhi and his lieutenants led the attack respectively.
The walls of Guangzong City were attacked on all sides, and the thieves and the court soldiers and horses fought for many days, which can be said to be an extra red eye when the enemy met, and the court soldiers and horses wanted to kill this group of thieves as soon as possible, and the class returned to the court. And the thief wants to live!
