Chapter 101: Conquer Changsha
The striker Liu Yong did not designate, but after this incident, he knew that Liu Yong had his own plans, and he didn't ask more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the first day of August, the army set out.
On the school field, the battle flag is hunting, the military appearance is neat, and the majesty is extraordinary.
The infantry, bow, and cavalry armies lined up neatly, and the scene was indeed shocking.
Liu Yong always knew how many men and horses he had, but that was just a number for him, there were 40,000 horses lined up here today, and there were only 3,000 cavalry so far, mainly infantry and crossbowmen.
But the strength of the three thousand iron cavalry is the strongest of the three armies.
The newly established four battalions of the east, south, west, and north are only the main army in the city, and they are all known by everyone, but their greatest role is only to select suitable people for elite training outside the city. The real elite are actually outside the city.
Today's people are the ones who are really going to the battlefield.
After worshipping heaven and earth, there is only one last item left in the expedition, the sacrifice flag!
The blood of the enemy is generally used for the sacrifice flag, but if there is no enemy, pigs, cattle and sheep are used.
Lou Gui stepped forward and said, "Lord, the auspicious time has come!" ”
"Yes, Sacrifice Flag!"
Liu Yong waved his hand, and immediately someone came out with a person, who was the messenger sent by Huang Zu that day.
When the envoy saw the situation in front of him, his legs were weak, his upper and lower teeth trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
Liu Yong didn't even look at him.
The knife and axe hand pulled it to the flag, the hand raised and fell, the head fell to the ground, and the blood stained the flag red, making the army more vigorous.
"Kill!" Liu Yong shouted.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The momentum of the whole army is like a rainbow, even people such as Zhao Yun and Lou Gui who have seen the army are shocked inexplicably, even the original White Horse Yicong is just like that.
"Expedition!" Order.
With the cavalry in front, the bows and crossbows in the middle, and the infantry behind, everything was in order, and the cheers of the people continued to sound in the streets.
After leaving the city for thirty miles, Liu Yong asked everyone to discuss matters, however, after everyone arrived, Liu Yong just issued an order.
"Zhao Yun, leading 3,000 cavalry, 5,000 infantry, 2,000 archers, Yi is a member of the army and a leader of the army, and he will take Guiyang directly! Break the city in half a month. ”
Although Zhao Yun and Yi have many questions, they don't ask too much and take them away directly, and it is naturally not small to be able to take one city and one city.
"Huang Zhong, lead the infantry army of 5,000, the archer is 5,000, and Ma Tan will take Changsha within ten days for joining the army and leading the army!"
Huang Zhong and Ma Tan were overjoyed and immediately took the order and left.
The rest of Guan Ping and Liao Hua are in a hurry, there is only one city left, who will go to the two of them?
Seeing the appearance of the two, Liu Yong said with a smile: "Lingling doesn't need the other two cities, I want you two to go together." ”
"Guan Ping is the main general, Liao Hua is the vanguard, leading the infantry army of 7,000 and the archer of 3,000, going to break the city, and Mr. Zibo will join the army."
Liu Yong was afraid that the two of them would be greedy for merit, so he specially advised: "This city does not need other two cities, and it is not advisable to attack it in a hurry." ”
The three of them were the earliest people with Liu Yong, so they naturally obeyed and took the order.
After the others left, Liu Yong and You Heng were left, the two looked at each other and smiled, and marched with the remaining 10,000 horses, but the direction of walking was indeed Changsha.
The siege of the city accelerated away, Liu Yong was not in a hurry, and walked along the way, just like playing.
You Heng has already discussed with Liu Yong, understands the reason, and accompanies Liu Yong to drink and enjoy the scenery with peace of mind.
Zhang Xian's father and son were in Changsha, and they had long heard that Liu Biao was going to attack the army, but they were attacked by Wen Ping for several years and did not take them all, so they naturally did not take it to heart.
Now that Wenpin has been withdrawn, there is another Liu Yong. Although he drank Liu Yong's wine well, he had never heard of a few battles, and the only thing he heard was that Liu Yong had suppressed Zhang Wu's rebellion, but in his eyes, Zhang Wu was far from being in his eyes at all.
As for Cai Mao's defeat, due to the blockage of news transmission, the Cai family has long been silent in order to maintain its reputation, and it is true that they don't know much.
And according to the report of the spies, only 10,000 people came, so naturally it is not a problem.
Huang Zhong has basically not made any efforts since he joined Liu Yong's command, and this time he finally got the opportunity, so he naturally wanted to perform well. And Liu Yong values it, if he hits Liu Yong's face, naturally he will not have the face to mix.
Although Liu Yong gave him ten days, he was more anxious. The sergeant was ordered to march for a day and a night, and finally set up camp thirty miles away from Changsha.
Ma Jian is not a straw bag, and the camping arrangement is his specialty, so Huang Zhong naturally rests here for the night according to his opinion.
The next day, the fifth watch made rice, the sixth watch set off, and it was only two hours before arriving at the city of Changsha.
When Zhang Xian was rewarded, he was already surrounded on all sides, and his face was like earth.
When he climbed the city tower to look, the military flags under the city were neat, and there was the slightest sense of disarray, such a military appearance, he had never seen it in his life, and he immediately understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.
Before the siege of the city, the shouts of killing outside the city had already frightened many defenders in the city, let alone fighting. The people in the city were even more panicked and uneasy.
This is also when Ma Tan saw the appearance of the defenders, he realized how strong his army was. So he immediately advised not to rush to attack the city, but to break the enemy's army first.
Changsha was besieged for a day, and it was difficult for the city to reunite the fighting spirit. Huang Zhong and Ma Jian saw that the defenders had no intention of fighting, and immediately ordered the siege of the city.
In an instant, the city was besieged from all sides, killing and shaking the sky.
However, Zhang Xian didn't know that Huang Zhong's main attack was only on the east gate, and the other three sides were just for show.
Besieged from all sides, the city naturally divided troops to defend, but the city itself had no will to fight, and the troops were divided again, and the east gate was immediately unable to withstand it.
When the sergeant led people to the city, the city realized that they had been fooled and brought people from other three sides to help.
However, they were not favored by the heavens, and a rebellion broke out at the north gate.
"Taishou, the big thing is not good, Wei Yan leads the army to rebel!" A sergeant wanted Zhang Xian to report.
"What? Is there such a thing? Zhang Xian was already timid, he knew in his heart that if it went on like this, the rebellion would be sooner or later, but it would come too quickly, and he was still one of his centurions.
Wei Yan led people to kill dozens of soldiers in the city who came to suppress him, and shouted: "Zhang Xian's rebellion is now about to perish, do you still want to die with him?" If you don't want to die, you will open the city gate and welcome the officials and soldiers from outside the city into the city, and there will be a big reward! ”
The sergeants in the city were already frightened, and as soon as they were shouted by Wei Yan, several people immediately defected. Then the number of people grew, reaching thousands in the blink of an eye, and counting.
Seeing that the general trend had been achieved, Wei Yan immediately shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”
Wei Yan led people to personally guard the north gate, the city gate was wide open, and Huang Zhong and Ma Jian outside the city were overjoyed when they heard the return, and immediately brought people forward.
"Bunga? Sure enough, it's you! Huang Zhong was even happier when he saw Wei Yan.
"Brother, why are you?" Wei Yan didn't expect that it was Huang Zhong.
"It's a long story, let's talk about it after the war!" Huang Zhong immediately came to his senses.
"Good! The younger brother will take people to go first, and then recruit some people first. Haha......" said that he entered the city again, and Huang Zhong just led people to follow into the city.
