Chapter 200: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
Zhu Ling and Zhang Shi were also very worried about the siege, but they were also very strange, Zhao Yun and Gao Ran's approach, is this still called a war, it is obviously a foreign worker. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info began to be tense, and slowly slowed down, completely pretending, not at all like the rumored approach of attacking other counties, does Liu Yong rely on such people to fight?
However, Zhu Ling is a battle-hardened veteran after all, although he is injured and it is difficult to go to the city to patrol, but after listening to the report for two days in a row, he also realized that there is a problem in this, Liu Yong can take the entire Jingzhou, it must not be a mediocre talent, and it will not be a random dispatch to let these two people lead the army.
Let's not talk about Zhao Yun, let's talk about Gao Lan, as one of the "Four Court Pillars" in Hebei in the past, will he be a mediocre talent? If he is a mediocre talent, then what should other generals be called? Zhu and Zhang were puzzled by this question.
But they quickly realized what the problem was. On the fifth day, the grain and grass officer came to report that the grain and grass in the city could only be supplied for half a month! This made the two feel like a bolt from the blue, and they quickly woke up, the surge of people and horses in the city, the wolf grass must not be enough, the key is that since Cao Cao was preparing to fight with Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, most of them were transferred away, and the night left in the city was enough to maintain the three thousand defenders until the new wheat was ripe this year.
"These guys are so shady!" Zhang Shi couldn't help but scold.
On the contrary, Zhu Ling has been in the army for half his life, and he understands this very well. War is always unscrupulous, it is all about attacking the enemy's weak points, and there is no one who specializes in fighting with the enemy.
Compared with the current siege but not attack, they hope that the Jingzhou army will attack the city as soon as possible, otherwise with the shortage of grain and grass, it will inevitably cause accidents and even rebellion among the people and defenders in the city.
However, sometimes it's weird that the more you fear something, the more it happens. After only one night, rumors of a shortage of food and grass immediately spread in the city, and the rumors became more and more serious. Zhang Shi immediately investigated strictly, and the result was that a lot of people were arrested, but he couldn't find where it came from at all. Immediately after that, many white-pole arrows with arrows removed were tied with notes and shot in from outside the city at night, all of which said that there was not much food and grass in the city, and that the cooking would be cut off immediately, and that as long as you surrendered, you could avoid the death penalty, so that the rumors of the lack of food immediately spread throughout the city, and the city immediately exploded.
Zhang Shi was furious and disposed of hundreds of people one after another, but instead of stopping the spread, it caused several riots that were not big or small, making Zhang Shi and Zhu Ling anxious like ants on a hot pot.
By the tenth day, the city was about to become a pot of porridge, and it was only calmed down under Zhang Shi's severe suppression, but this calm also made them feel as terrifying as a volcano about to erupt. In this strange atmosphere, Zhao Yun and Gao Ran attacked the city.
If you don't understand, you will move, and it will become as fast as thunder. Before dawn on the 11th day, there was an earth-shattering killing sound outside the city, which made the three souls and seven spirits of the defenders who were still dozing off lose two souls and six souls, and before they could fully react, the repeated bombardment of catapults had already blossomed in the city, and they were sent to the underworld to report.
Zhao Yun and Gao Ran are all first-class fierce generals, naturally they personally led the army to attack, Gao Lan, Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Gong Zhi four people and four gates, Zhao Yun led the cavalry and his men and horses outside the city to wait for the city to break in one fell swoop.
After the catapult bombarded indiscriminately, there was still a trace of the defenders on the head of the city, those who could hide hid, and those who could not hide died, Gao Ran led people to the top of the city very smoothly, and killed the enemy army at the gate of the city in one fell swoop. In the face of such famous generals in the world, ordinary Cao Jun can only be killed. The spear is invincible, but if there is resistance, all are killed.
Flesh and blood flew under the car door, blood flowed like a river, blood stains everywhere, and dead corpses step by step.
"Coax!" With a loud bang, the drawbridge fell, and Zhao Yun immediately waved his army in, and more than 20,000 people under Zhao Yun's command poured into Ancheng like a flood, densely packed, like a rolling flood, occupying the streets and alleys of Ancheng step by step.
Zhang Shi tied Zhu Ling to a batch of good horses and led people to escort him to the north gate.
Zhu Ling was anxious: "Let Lao Tzu come down, Lao Tzu will not be a deserter even if he fights for this life!" ”
Zhang Shi was completely unmoved, and only led people to rush desperately: "General Zhu, my subordinates are desperate to send you out of the city, Zhang Shi can die, but he must not die after you!" As long as Zhang Shi is here, he must protect you! ”
Before arriving at the north gate, the north gate was broken by Sun Kang, and the Jingzhou army poured in like a tide, after all, Zhang Shi had been in the city for a long time, and he was naturally familiar with every place in the city, so he immediately took people to detour, and when he approached the city gate, he immediately killed and rushed directly to the pass.
Zhang Shi led hundreds of his subordinates to fight desperately, protected Zhu Ling in the middle, and entered the city gate little by little. Although the Jingzhou sergeant was brave, Zhang Shi was a military general after all, and his skills were much stronger than ordinary sergeants, and he was killed by him.
Seeing that he was about to rush through the city gate, suddenly Sun Kang led people back and fought directly with Zhang Shi. And Zhu Ling was still surrounded by dozens of people under his command and rushed out of the city. Not far away, Gong Zhi chased a team of Cao Jun and came, and when he saw this scene, he immediately set up a bow and released an arrow, and an arrow hit Zhang Shi's chest. Zhang Shi immediately lost his strength and was cut off by Sun Kang.
Zhu Ling saw the sergeant next to him on the horse constantly falling off the horse, angry and angry, and now he saw Zhang Shi being beheaded, and his teeth were clucking, but he was tied to the horse and couldn't move at all, so he could only let the war horse carry him forward and rush forward. Fortunately, his sergeants used their lives, and although there were only more than ten people left, they still took him out of the city gate. Seeing Zhu Ling fleeing, Gong Zhi immediately went to the city and shot an arrow from the city, the distance was almost beyond the range, but he still shot Zhu Ling in the back, even if it was the end of the crossbow, Zhu Ling was injured again.
After all, there were more than 30,000 people in the city, and Zhao Yun and Gao Lansi would kill from dawn to dusk before ending the battle. Many of the Cao troops here were personally brought out by Zhu Ling and Zhang Shi, who were very loyal to Cao Cao, and there were not many who surrendered, and in the end there were only less than 4,000 people, and the rest were all killed in battle. This caused the streets of Anseong to be covered with dead bodies, and at the end of the battle, it was almost dusk, and under the dim twilight, the city was like a Yama underworld, which was very terrifying.
Zhu Ling, under the escort of more than ten people, escaped from the city with difficulty, and it was getting late, and it was difficult for everyone to catch up, so he had to flee.
Liu Ye and Jia Kui calmed the people overnight, and Zhao Yun and Gao Lan and other generals immediately led people to clean up the battlefield in the city and treat the wounded. Liu Yong occupied another city, but this city was indeed a real hard battle in the streets and alleys, because the battle array could not be unfolded, and the army who did the battle of the trapped beast did not surrender until death, but the Jingzhou army suffered heavy losses, losing more than 5,000 people and horses, more than 4,000 wounded, and a lot of people and horses under his command.
