Chapter 8: Fire Attack on Fengyang City

Sure enough, it was said by An Lehou, at this moment, although there were heavy guards on the city gate, the vigilance of the soldiers had already been sharply reduced.

It was close to dawn, and the soldiers had not slept all night, and they were already sleepy, and they opened their mouths to play haha.

On the city gate, the city defender also yawned in his mouth, and sleepiness swept over, he couldn't help but take a look at the weather, and said, "You wait to rest, and change people up" Seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, the tension in his heart was also relaxed a lot.

On the city gates, the firelight was intertwined, and it shone very brightly,

This gave Shen Peng Guo Wei a headache, and after crawling for a few meters, he didn't dare to enter, the fire was too bright, and he didn't dare to get too close.

Just when the two of them had nothing to do, they saw half of the soldiers in the city go down, and the light on the city instantly reduced by half, both of them were happy in their hearts, seized the opportunity, and moved instantly.

A few people leaned over and trotted away, sticking to the city wall, no longer hesitating, ordering to do it, everyone was agile, a lot of splashing, about a pillar of incense after an hour, the city wall of Fengyang City was painted one by one.

When the replacement of the soldiers defending the city came, Shen Peng, Guo Wei and others had already done something.

Before you know it, everything is ready.

When Shen Peng Guowei returned to the barracks, it was already dawn. The sun leaks slightly, and the red glow spreads out on the horizon, which is very spectacular.

At this time, it has just entered the shallow autumn, and the morning is a little cool.

An Lehou and the others waited in the tent of the Chinese army, and did not rest all night.

Seeing the arrival of the two generals, Shen Peng and Guo Wei, An Lehou immediately ordered his troops and led the crowd away, and the spirit of thousands of troops and horses was very strong.

There is quite a momentum to take Fengyang City in one fell swoop.

At this moment, under Fengyang City, thousands of troops and horses are roaring.

An Lehou rode a high-headed horse, his face was very ugly, blue and purple for a while, he was attacked by Pan Zhongxiaoer last night, which made him lose his troops and lose his generals, not to mention, just this humiliation, he couldn't bear it.

The generals were on their left and right, holding their swords and standing by, only to see An Lehou, the sword pointing forward, shouting, "Pan Zhongxiaoer, my army is pressing, this time, I will let you throw away your armor and flee in a panic!" ”

He immediately ordered Pang Gu to go to battle, wanting him to cut off Pan Zhong's arm, but Pan Zhong stood on top of the city gate, very calm, and did not reply, only refused to defend without fighting.

"General, how is this good?" On Pan Zhong's side, all the generals saw the army under the city, and they all had their hearts, they didn't have the courage of Pan Zhong.

Pan Zhongdao "ordered to go down, open a warehouse and release grain, and bring the people to the city gate to participate in the battle"

Seeing that Pan Zhong did not answer, and did not send anyone out, An Lehou made a decision in his heart, began to boost morale, and prepared to attack, "Pan Zhong'er has been cowardly in battle, and all the soldiers want to make meritorious contributions, just today!" After that, the sword pointed at Fengyang City and ordered the siege of the city.

Tens of thousands of archers had already drawn their bows and set up arrows, and countless arrows coated with lamp oil and liquor were bubbling with fire

"Woohoo!"

Hearing the order, tens of thousands of arrows fired in unison, suddenly covering half of the sky, and a dense rain of arrows poured down like a downpour, making it impossible to avoid.

Then with a bang, the entire Fengyang City was instantly ignited like gunpowder, and countless soldiers were swallowed by the firelight, letting out a scream like a ghost crying wolf.

"How so?!"

Pan Zhong couldn't be calm anymore, his face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't understand why the fire was so fierce.

"Woohoo!"

The arrows are like the hands of Shura, and they are still shooting

There was no time for Pan Zhong to think about it, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of soldiers were lost, and Pan Zhong's heart was in turmoil, and at the same time, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart

This kind of attack is really impossible to resist, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, without the slightest power to fight back, but to be slaughtered.

The tragic scenes that happened in front of him made him tremble, and he could never have imagined that such a thing would happen.

The arrows covered the sky and the sun, and An Lehou was still ordering everyone to release arrows and attack

Most of the people who had just come up died in an instant, and they fell in the blood, and the cries of countless women, children, and children shook the heavens and the earth.

In a short time, the blood was already flowing into a river, and the whole city was dyed blood.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the zzi was bubbling loudly, and countless corpses were charred and emitted a pungent smell.

"Where is this fighting, it's clearly slaughtering the city!"

Last night's sneak attack and luck won a big victory, which made his guard plummet, and he made a bold statement, saying that An Lehou was just a dry bone in the grave, but the scene in front of him at this moment made him feel remorse and chagrin in his heart.

An Lehou did not stop attacking the city, and the dense rockets were still pouring down

The soldiers beside him fell to the ground one after another, Pan Zhong was covered in blood, shocking, and the golden armor was also swallowed by the flames

Standing on the city wall, looking at the Liang army outside the fire, he could only let out a weak sigh.

He knew that he couldn't wait for the support of the prince, and within half a day, the city would be destroyed.

Next, he slowly closed his eyes, pulled out the sword at his waist, and put it on his neck, poof, a string of blood flowers flew up, and a generation of famous generals Pan Zhong fell from there.

However, sadly, Pan Zhong did not know who was actually leading the Liang army until his death.

It lasted for three hours before An Lehou ordered the attack to stop

"In just three hours, hundreds of thousands of arrows have been lost! Offensive! An Lehou was distressed, and then said, "Those who capture Pan Zhong alive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" ”

When countless soldiers heard this, they were all excited, and their shouts resounded through the sky, waving the weapons in their hands, as if they had entered a no-man's land.

......

At noon, Fengyang City was captured, and the people in the city were slaughtered, and it was an empty city at the moment.

Xu Wen followed the army into the city, and the tragic situation in front of him instantly shocked his heart, and then his scalp was numb, and he only felt that his mouth was dry, and his heart was full of taste.

"I will be condemned for doing such evil!" Xu Wen closed his eyes and muttered to himself, extremely sad

An Lehou rode into the army and ordered Pang Gu to inspect the fortifications, and if there was any alive, he could kill him.

Xu Wen beside him closed his eyes tightly and said nothing, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart.

"It's ridiculous that I Xu Wen, since I was a child, I promised to work for the people's wishes, for this reason, visit the famous mountains and rivers, seek the way to govern the world, during the period, I met the saint Tong Shan, followed the left and right, worshiped it as a teacher, read the book of the sage, when I went down the mountain, I recognized the stability of the party, but after this war, I thought I saw the blood and bloodiness of the war, the so-called full reading of the sage, but it is a murder weapon!"

Xu Wen laughed at himself, let out a long breath, and silently made a decision in his heart, this time to get rid of the evil thief Wang Yi, he said goodbye to King Liang, and from then on he would retire to the mountains and forests, and no longer seek things from others.

The army swung into Fengyang City, An Lehou ordered Shen Peng to lead 10,000 horses to stick to this place, and the rest of the people waited for a night's rest tonight, and tomorrow waved the army north, pointing directly at Ganlan!

On the second day, everyone set off and went to Suoyang Pass, which is the second city of Yizhou, and the next city is Ganlan, the national capital! As long as this city is captured, Ganlan can be said to be at your fingertips.

Wang Taigong occupies a hundred miles of the national capital, there are about 20 states, a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, now, Fengyang has lost 50,000 people, and there are still 150,000, and this Ganlan is in this Yizhou, the national capital is behind, is Bazhou, Xuzhou, Yinzhou....

A day later, the national capital was Ganlan

Wang Taigong sat on the dragon chair, his face was excellent, and he seemed to have gained a lot of weight, his eyes, which were not very big, had become a slit at the moment, and occasionally the pupils in his eyes could be seen, and the bloated fat hand was holding a handwritten letter from Pan Zhong

"Ladies and gentlemen, this letter is from the hands of Pan Zhong in Fengyang City, General Pan said that the soldiers and horses sent by King Liang are several times better than Fengyang, and it may be difficult to resist the enemy thousands of miles away, so I want to send some soldiers and horses to help, I want to send troops, but now I don't know who to send, if you have the heart to be loyal to my dynasty, you can recommend yourself, if you have meritorious service, I will live up to Qing!"

Wang Taigong was born as a civil official, and most of them were civil officials when they formed a party, but there were few generals, and they had been sent to various places to garrison the city before, and there were few generals at present.

There are only three generals, Zhang Shun, Wang Yan, and Gongsun Min.

But these three people are all mediocre people, and there is no talent for generals, only Gongsun Min still has a trace of general demeanor, but he can't take on big responsibilities, Wang Tai thinks that it is useless to send these three people, but there is no one else at the moment, and he is very anxious.

At this time, an elderly man in the hall stood up and said, "My emperor can send Zhang Shun, Wang Yan, and Gongsun Min to go together, and bring 50,000 troops to resist foreign enemies."

Wang Taigong disagreed, and said, "I feel that this matter is not appropriate, the three generals still need to consolidate the safety of our country, how can they go?" ”

At this time, a civil official with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks looked around, and finally stood up and said, "My emperor can send someone to write a letter and send it to the princes, so that they can help."

Wang Taigong snorted coldly, and said loudly, "Zhu Aiqing Hugh wants to say more, I have sent letters to individual princes before, but seven days have passed, and there is no news, these princes, all of them are clever and clever, and the banner of King Liang has broken off the relationship with me, this time to start a war, it must be provoked by such villains, and I disdain to be with them" Speaking of this, Wang Taigong sighed, "It's just a pity, I didn't have this far-sighted plan at the beginning, and there was a lack of some generals who were loyal to the monarch and the country."

"Huh!" Wudi, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks of Zhu Hu screamed, said, "My emperor is above, my subordinates occasionally listen to folk rumors, there is a person in the willow leaf lane, named Situ Zan, the tiger of this life, fierce and difficult, his hand and double whip are even more out of the picture, brave and unmatched, if my emperor wants to win, he can recognize the picture to pull this person over, will live up to expectations"

"Oh?" Wang Taigong was a little surprised, and then rejoiced, and said, "If this person really has such ability, I will definitely use it!" ”

"Aiqing, I have to trouble you to run around for this matter, be sure to invite me!"

"Ministers should do their best!" Zhu Hu saluted and said with an oath

After that, Zhu Hu took two entourages to the Willow Leaf Lane

The name of Liuye Lane is precisely because of its many alleys and twists and turns.

When the three of them arrived here, they were all confused, it was rumored that Situ Zan was in this Willow Leaf Lane, but I don't know which one, at the moment there are hundreds of families in the entire alley, if they ask one by one, the Year of the Monkey will work.

The three of them were worried, only to see an old man and a young girl walking by in front of them.

The old man bent his back, no different from the average old man, inconspicuous, but this girl was born slim, looking at this handsome face, guessing that it was eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in plain clothes, quiet and elegant, Danfeng fine eyes, fair complexion, two clear dimples rippling on the cheeks, slender figure to support the old man slowly come, with a coquettish temperament, very amazing.

"I didn't expect there to be such a peerless beauty in Willow Leaf Lane, it was really a phoenix popping out of the chicken nest, Jun! It's really handsome! Zhu Hu is a person from the imperial court, and he thinks that he has seen countless beautiful women, but he was still shocked by what he saw, he couldn't help but exclaim, and looked at it twice.

The two entourages beside him were also shocked and didn't know why, but they came back to their senses in an instant, and the two of them caught a glimpse of Zhu Hu still looking at it infatuatedly, so they guessed his thoughts.

"Hey~, where to go?"

An attendant stretched out his hand and blocked the way of the two, revealing an obscene expression, like a ruffian

The old man and the girl were startled by this sudden outstretched hand, the old man intentionally or unintentionally protected his granddaughter behind him, he had experienced vicissitudes, naturally saw through the minds of several people, and did not say much, just bowed down and apologized "The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and collided with the adult, and hopes that the adult will forgive the sin, so we will detour"

After that, he will take his granddaughter on a detour.

"Old man, I don't care if you go, but this little lady, I'm afraid you have to stay" The other attendant also spoke disrespectfully, and looked at the girl with a pair of thief eyes.

Hearing this, the old man was frightened, and pulled the girl to kneel down and beg for mercy, "The military master forgives the sin, the villain offended the military master somewhere, and the villain apologizes to the military master!" ”

The old man didn't care about it, he had already kowtowed a few times, and his wrinkled forehead began to redden, revealing traces of blood.

"Old man, you don't have to be so alarmed, to be honest, this adult in my family, ordinary women's families can't climb even if they want to, you can be content" As he spoke, the attendant stepped forward to take the girl's hand.

The girl was timid, she was already frightened at this moment, and she didn't dare to answer, but when she saw the devil's claw stretching out, she suddenly moved back, and her heart was even more panicked.
