Chapter 57: Into W County
In the past few days, the most tiring one is Zhou Cang, Jiang Sheng ordered him to build twenty ladders in five days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhou Cang knew that Jiang Sheng was going to attack W County, so he worked overtime day and night, and he had already completed nineteen planes, and was organizing soldiers to make the last cloud ladder in the depths of the woods, and he was tired and sweating profusely.
Zhou Cang is tired of his body, while Jiang Sheng is tired of his brainpower, and he is facing the people of W County who were "caught" by him.
When Dong Zhuo commanded the war in Jizhou, he fought for a long time without success, and W County was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army during Dong Zhuo's period, and the people lost confidence in the official army.
Jiang Sheng's idea was to try to get the people's exit card, and then the capable soldiers pretended to be the people to enter the city, but he ran into trouble during the execution: none of the people were willing to take the initiative to hand over the exit card!
The thoughts of the people are understandable, after all, the family is in the city, and if they don't have this exit card, they won't be able to enter the city. The ghost knows whether the officials and the army can succeed, and if the officials and the army can't take W County, it will be the people who will suffer.
Jiang Sheng decided to take a gamble, and he told the people about his achievements in Yingchuan and Dongjun, but no one believed him, although Jiang Sheng promised with his life that he would definitely take W County, but the people did not accept it at all.
Jiang Sheng saw that there was no other way, so he had to say: "Then I will temporarily wronged you, if you can't take W County, I will do what you do!" After saying that, let the soldiers control the people and lock them up in the camp outside the city.
Jiang Sheng got more than 50 cards out of the city, and then let his elite soldiers enter the city in different time periods, and Yu Ban This is the first batch.
"Oh, I didn't hear it just now, give it, this is the exit card I got in the morning." Yu Ban was so nervous that he almost showed his feet.
The soldier carefully identified it, then searched the forbidden body, confirmed that there was no problem, and then let him go.
When the last group of officers and soldiers successfully entered the city, it was already dusk, and the soldiers at the city gate counted it, and the cards issued to go out of the city were withdrawn, so the city gate was closed.
After Yu Ban and the others entered the city, they divided into several groups and explored the Yellow Turban camps in the city separately, just waiting for the siege to start.
It was August 15, the night of the full moon, and it was a good time to siege the city. A trumpet sounded outside the city, the war drums rang out in unison, and the siege of W County began.
Fifteen ladders climbed the city wall, and Zhou Cang took the lead and climbed up the ladders.
When the defenders at the head of the city saw the sudden attack of the officers and soldiers, they hurriedly sounded the warning gong.
Yu Ban and others, who had infiltrated the city, saw that the time had come, and set fire to the Yellow Turban's barracks, granaries and generals' residences, which soon caused chaos in the city, and the Yellow Turban Army was busy putting out fires, where could they take care of the war in the city.
He Man was awakened in his sleep, and hurriedly dressed up neatly and galloped towards the Chinese army camp with his own soldiers.
The defenders at the head of the city defended for more than half an hour, causing more than 200 kills and wounds to the officers and soldiers, and the losses of the defenders were not small.
Zhou Cang wielded the ghost head knife and took the lead in killing the city, and still struggled to slash and kill even though he was wounded by more than ten swords, which inspired the officers and soldiers who attacked the city, and the east gate of the city soon fell into the hands of the officials and soldiers.
He Man lived in the county government in the north of the city, but the military camp was in the south of the city, and He Man was intercepted by Yu Ban when he passed through the center of the city.
Yu Ban only has a dozen people, the number is about the same as He Man's personal soldiers, seeing He Man's clothes, Yu Ban knew that this was a senior general of the Yellow Turban Army, so he led his subordinates to kill him.
The officers and soldiers in the city are all old people brought out by Jiang Sheng, and their physical fitness and combat effectiveness are the best choice, and there is no pressure on He Man's personal soldiers with a comparable number of people.
He Man saw that his soldiers couldn't defeat the forbidden department at all, so he fled on horseback.
The boiled duck can't let him fly, Yu Ban grabbed a war horse and chased He Man, then He Man should also be unlucky, and the horse lost its hooves in a panic.
Yu Ban saw He Man fall to the ground and was about to capture him, but the war horse couldn't hold his foot, and his front hooves stepped on He Man, only the sound of broken bones was heard.
He Man's chest was blurred with flesh and blood, and he was already dead, so Yu Ban swung his knife and slashed He Man's head, and then gathered his subordinates in the city.
The senior Yellow Turban generals in the city were either burned to death, choked to death, or killed by the officers and soldiers in the sneak attack of the officers and soldiers, and it was difficult for the Yellow Turban Army in the city to organize an effective defensive counterattack.
The east gate was broken by the official army led by Zhou Cang, and Jiang Sheng led the main force of the official army into the city.
The small Yellow Turban Army, which was able to organize an effective defense, faced the powerful offensive of Jiang Sheng's army and was about to collapse at the first touch. The barracks in the city were in flames, and this full moon night was decorated with extraordinary "beauty".
"Meet the Lord!" Yu Ban brought people to welcome Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng said: "Wen Ze has worked hard! But now is not the time to rest, you take a thousand cavalry to the west of the city as quickly as possible, if there is an enemy to help, wait for the opportunity to defeat or entangle, before dawn, I do not want to see any Yellow Turban reinforcements come here. ”
Yu Ban hugged his fists and said: "Obey!" After speaking, he presented He Man's head to Jiang Sheng, and led more than a thousand cavalry to gallop towards the west of the city.
More than 10,000 officers and soldiers were divided into ten routes and went to various parts of the city to clean up the Yellow Turban defenders, and Zhou Cang was ordered by Jiang Sheng to return to the camp to bandage, full of complaints.
As soon as Zhou Cang returned to the camp, someone from the left-behind soldiers came to report, saying that the people wanted to see the main general.
"The people? Where are the people? Zhou Cang didn't know about Jiang Sheng's "catching" of the people, anyway, Jiang Sheng let him build a cloud ladder, let him attack the city, and he didn't ask anything else. There is only one thing that he is dissatisfied with Jiang Sheng: it is the matter of ordering him to go back to the camp to bandage. Killing enemies is his first choice.
The soldier told Zhou Cang about the matter.
"Let's go, I'll go talk to them." Zhou Cang bandaged it and followed the soldier to meet the people.
"Don't make any noise! What do you want to do when you ask to see the Lord? Zhou Cang shouted.
When the people saw that Zhou Cang's body was full of injuries and his face was full of fierceness, they immediately fell silent.
"Speak! All dumb? "Zhou Cang is a rough person, except for his loud voice, he has nothing to say.
"General, you are covered in wounds, but the siege failed?" A bold citizen asked.
"Fuck you! My lord went into the city with his troops, and when he saw that I was wounded, he forced me to come back. Otherwise, I'll have to chop off a few yellow turban dog heads. ”
"Really victorious?" Several civilians asked in surprise.
"Lao Tzu can't speak, but he can't lie either! You can go home after dawn! ”
The people applauded, laughed and danced, this was the first victory of the official army since Dong Zhuo sat in Jizhou!
After a night of fighting, the officers and soldiers had cleared the yellow turbans of W County, and after dawn, they began to help the people extinguish the fires and sweep the streets.
Except for the more than 1,000 Yellow Turbans who surrendered, most of the rest of the Yellow Turban Army were killed in battle, and Jiang Sheng ordered the troops to collect the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army and transport them to the original Yellow Turban Camp in the south of the city, where they were burned. The bodies of more than 300 officers and soldiers killed in the battle were transported outside the city for burial.
Jiang Sheng's worries were unnecessary, because the attack on W County was quickly resolved, the news had not yet reached He Yi in Ye County, and when He Yi got the news, the urgent letter and the battle report of W County City arrived at the same time, He Yi was shocked, and hurriedly convened various departments to discuss countermeasures.
