The thirty-fifth round of the onslaught of the city of Xiangyang was broken
Zhang Yi listened to Zhuge Liang's words and couldn't help but be stunned. Liu Biao is not in good health, he knows, but he doesn't think about Liu Biao's serious illness. He was also tricked by history, because Liu Biao died in 208, and now it is only 205, so he didn't think about it.
If it is really as Zhuge Liang said, Liu Biao is seriously ill. Then this time is the best time to attack the city, Zhang Yi immediately ordered: "Starting tomorrow, the whole army will attack the city!" ”
Since Zhang Yi decided to attack the city, he must take Xiangyang in one go, and such a good opportunity really cannot be given up.
The next day, Zhang Yi waved his army to attack the city. Di Qing was the commander of the siege, and the newly summoned Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang were both the vanguard of the siege.
Early in the morning, tens of thousands of troops launched an offensive, and all kinds of siege equipment were also pushed under the city walls.
"Siege!"
With Zhang Yi's order, the catapult began to shoot stones, and the ballista began to fire crossbow arrows to suppress the city. The city was suddenly attacked by the defenders, because most of the recruits had no experience, and they suffered heavy losses for a while.
Under the cover of catapults and ballistas, Di Qing began to wave his army to attack the city, and Gao Changgong and Wang Yanzhang led their troops to drive the carts and pull the dirt bags to fill the moat. The city was too busy to take care of itself, and it couldn't have any impact on the soldiers of the city. Soon the moat was filled in a lot of way, and then the well fence approached and shot arrows at the city to increase the cover. Crashes, car rushes, and ladders also began to push towards Xiangyang.
The siege equipment was pushed under the city walls, and the cover in the rear was much weaker for fear of accidental injury. Only then did the defenders of the city come out under the reprimand of the officers to stop the siege outside the city.
But the defenders of the city were not reluctant, they had not yet come to their senses, they were all scared to death just now, if it weren't for the officer's usual residual power, they would have thought of escaping.
Therefore, although the defenders appeared at the head of the city, the will to fight was not strong. Soon a ladder was erected under the city, and Wang Yanzhang quickly climbed up from the ladder and climbed the city wall first. His current military rank is a captain, or a middle-level officer, so he has the opportunity to go up and charge. If he was a high-ranking officer like General Pi, he would not have many opportunities to do it himself.
Wang Yanzhang climbed to the top of the city and stabbed a person to death with an iron spear immediately. Many of Zhang Yi's subordinates have their own weapons, but there are very few pure iron weapons, so Wang Yanzhang used a pure iron gun. In history, Wang Yanzhang was known as the king iron spear, so after he summoned it, he took his iron spear with him.
A fierce general attacked the city, and there were still enemy soldiers with no fighting spirit around, and the result was self-evident.
Soon Wang Yanzhang gathered more than a dozen men at the head of the city, and then formed an army formation at the head of the city, killed both sides, and helped the friendly army to enter the city. The city soon collapsed, and they were simply unable to withstand Zhang Yijun's attack.
In less than two hours, Zhang Yijun had already entered the city. After Zhang Yi learned about it in the rear, he immediately rushed to Xiangyang, he wanted to directly meet the talents in Xiangyang City for the first time!
After the city was broken, many people chose to surrender, but some people chose to resist stubbornly.
Kuai's family, Kuai Liang dragged the sick body and was selecting the family soldiers at home, preparing to fight Zhang Yi to the end. But his younger brother came over to dissuade him and said, "Brother, now that the general trend is gone, what are you doing with your life for Liu Jingsheng?" ”
Kuai Liang shook his head and said: "I am terminally ill now, and I don't have a few days to live, so it's not bad to be able to win a name before I die!" ”
Kuai Yue wanted to persuade again, but Kuai Liangyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it again!" This is my choice, after I die, don't hold a grudge against Zhang Yi. Whether the family can continue to exist or not is up to you. ”
Kuai Yue nodded, and they accused the Ge Da family of having their own way of survival, and never put their eggs in one basket.
Kuai Liang selected a hundred soldiers and came to Liu Biao's mansion to assist Liu Biao in defense.
is different from Kuai Liang's loyalty, Zhang Hu Chen Sheng, who used to be a bandit, is planning for himself. After Wen Ping and Wang Wei left, the two of them were one of the few generals in Xiangyang City. Since the two took refuge in Liu Biao, although they have been appeased, they have not been taken seriously.
This is normal, Liu Biao is just a good name, and it is courteous to those who are famous, but the reuse has always been Jingzhou people, and celebrities from other places basically have no real power. Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were born as bandits, and Liu Biao couldn't look down on them, let alone reuse them.
After the two surrendered, Liu Biao only limited the military power of the two, and never paid attention to them again. But in the case that there were not too many generals in Xiangyang, the two naturally gathered a lot of people.
Chen Sheng said to Zhang Hu: "Liu Biao has been looking down on our brothers all these years, and now that Liu Biao is gone, there is no need for us to accompany Liu Biao to hell." ”
Zhang Hu sneered: "This is natural, Liu Biao is to blame for falling into this field today." ”
"Shall we surrender directly to the besieging soldiers?" Chen Sheng asked.
"How does direct surrender show that you and my brother are capable?" Zhang Hu said with a smile: "Let's attack the mansions of some high-ranking officials first, and get money by the way." You and my brother have been hard enough all these years, and now we should enjoy it. ”
Chen Sheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing, "Yes, now is the time for us to show our talents." ”
Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng gathered hundreds of people, picked a mansion of a side branch of the Cai family and attacked it. When he was looting, he encountered Zhang Yi's army.
Gao Changgong is still a beautiful man, and his current military position is one level higher than Wang Yanzhang, and he is a school captain. In any era, there is a preference for handsome guys, and Gao Changgong is very loved by the soldiers, so this is a plus.
Gao Changgong walked to the side of a mansion and heard the constant shouts of killing inside, and there were many women's screams. Gao Changgong immediately became alert, because Zhang Yi's military regulations stipulate that women and children should not be harmed unless necessary. And the screams of these women made Gao Changgong realize that it was abnormal, since it was not his own person, it must be a chaotic soldier.
For the rebellious soldiers, Zhang Yi also stipulated that they must be solved, because this is a disadvantage. So Gao Changgong immediately led people to re-enter Cai's Pang Clan's mansion and began to attack the rebels inside. The rebels were plundering, and when attacked, they were immediately crushed.
Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng found out that they were attacked, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Don't attack, we are willing to surrender!" ”
Gao Changgong asked the two to be arrested, and looked at them contemptuously, "You are all young people, and you don't deserve to surrender at all!" ”
"We ......" Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng found that they were now fish and meat to be slaughtered.
"Chop!" Gao Changgong was very neat and neat, and didn't give them a chance to speak at all.
