Chapter 280: Assault on Wuwei
In fact, both Han Sui and Cheng Gongying were wrong, the main purpose of Liu He's military operation this time was not Jincheng, but the four counties of Hexi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because only by taking the four counties of Hexi can the Silk Road be reopened, and at the same time, it can also ensure that Han Sui is completely locked in Jincheng County, which is stationed in Han Sui and the seven warlords under his command, and it will not be long before there will be civil strife, and at that time, Jincheng County can be taken bloodlessly.
Therefore, Liu He ordered Du Raid to be the lieutenant of Anding, responsible for assisting Yang Qiu to lead the army to guard Anding, but he led the army to attack Guzang, Guzang did not have many defenders, plus Liu He had other means, I believe that as long as the army comes to the city, Guzang City will be at your fingertips.
As for Beidi County, in fact, there is no need to worry much at all, because as long as Wuwei is captured, Beidi will be surrounded by Liu He's army on all sides, and I believe that the defenders in the city will definitely choose to surrender after there is no way to survive at that time.
There are about 1,500 miles from Linjing to Guzang, but Liu He did not hesitate, he ordered the soldiers to ride fast horses, travel lightly, only bring a few days' rations, and then gallop all the way to Guzang.
Five days later, Liu He led the exhausted army to Guzang City, at this time, because the 8,000 main army of Guzang City was led by the local Haoqiang Ma Play, went to help Han Sui, originally wanted to enter Anding, and after hearing that Anding had fallen, he was stationed in Zuli with Han Sui.
However, Wuwei was too guarded by Zhang Meng but refused to surrender, on the one hand, he guarded the city, and on the other hand, he ordered people to quickly report to Ma Yu and Han Sui, so that they could quickly send troops to rescue.
In fact, with the defeat of five or six thousand remnants in Guzang City, it is impossible to block the attack of Liu He's army, but because Liu He's army is all cavalry, coming from afar, and there are no siege equipment in hand, it is almost impossible to break the city immediately, and what is even more deadly is that the rations in Liu He's army can only support three more days at most, so it is necessary to build the repair equipment within three days, and then launch a general attack on Wuwei.
"Hmph, I didn't expect this Zhang Meng to have a few hard bones, but now, even if you resist, it's useless, pass the order, the army will rest for a day, and at the same time order the engineering battalion to immediately make siege equipment, I want to start the siege at dawn tomorrow, and strive to take Guzang City in one morning, so that the guards of Zhangye, Dunhuang and Jiuquan counties are afraid, and then lead the army to surrender, and take these three counties bloodlessly."
Although Liu He was poorly equipped and did not have siege equipment in his hands, he didn't care about the little defensive strength in the city at all, and decided that this time he must give the other party a thunderous blow.
Liu He's engineering battalion was personally selected by Huang Yueying, although Huang Yueying was not here, but the work efficiency was not low, just overnight, hundreds of large ladders were made, thousands of suggested siege ladders.
"This, this, isn't the enemy a god? Why were so many siege engines made overnight? Seeing Liu He's army carrying a large number of siege equipment, Zhang Meng's heart was shocked and he muttered.
And then the rapid attack of Liu He's army made him panic even more, because more than 20,000 people, under the personal leadership of Liu He, climbed the siege ladder, braved arrows and stones, and quickly rushed to the head of the city.
Zhang Meng commanded the soldiers to shoot Liu He over, and the arrows rained down for a while, but Liu He danced the mixed iron lance like a windmill, and set aside all the feather arrows that came to the front, and then continued to climb the siege ladder as if nothing happened, and launched a charge.
"This, this, I really didn't expect this guy to be so heroic!" Seeing Liu He dialing the feather arrow so easily, and not being hurt until he jumped onto the city, Zhang Meng couldn't help but gasp.
At the same time, Zhang Meng commanded the soldiers to besiege Liu He even more frantically, anyway, now only he came to the city, if he took the opportunity to kill Liu He first, the enemy army besieging the city would be self-defeating. Not only that, but he will also make immortal feats because of this, and it is not impossible for Han Sui to make himself a marquis and a general.
"Kill! Kill him! No matter what it takes! Zhang Meng's heart was hot, he gritted his teeth, and commanded his soldiers to launch a crazy siege on Liu He.
However, what Zhang Meng couldn't imagine was that Liu He's combat power was too perverted, and in just a moment, there were already twenty or thirty corpses on the spot.
Later, Liu He snatched a war horse, and he was even more like a fish in water, galloping in Zhang Meng's army, clashing back and forth, but no one was his enemy.
And almost at the same time, Liu and the generals Pan Feng, Pei Yuanshao, Chen Dao, Fang Yue and others also came to the city and fought with the enemy army at the city head.
"This, this, a Liu He is just that, I didn't expect his generals to be so heroic, this is simply desperate, I knew this, I still resisted a fart."
Seeing this, Zhang Meng knew that the general trend had gone, and he was about to flee on his war horse.
The war horse that Zhang Meng sat on was the famous Dawan war horse, the divine horse was incomparable, and almost no one could catch up with this escape. Liu He was engaged in a fierce battle with the besieging enemy soldiers, and by the time he found Zhang Meng fleeing, it was too late.
However, when he came to the tower that he had just come down, he was blocked by his own soldiers nearby, and then he saw those soldiers rushing forward and capturing him, even his men and horses.
Zhang Meng saw the person who was the leader, and saw the city gate that was wide open not far away, and suddenly remembered something, and said regretfully: "How did I forget, your father is Jia Xu's brother Jia Cai?" And Jia Xu's guy is currently working under Liu He's account, which is really hateful, Jia Zhao'er, I am not convinced by losing this time. ”
"Hmph, whether you accept it or not, Zhang Meng, you are abusive and cruel, you should have thought of today, come and drag him away to see the lord."
Jia Zhaonai is Jia Xu's nephew, and now he is a soldier of Wuwei County Cao joined the army, and decided to help Liu He as soon as he heard the news of the arrival of Liu He's army, but what he didn't expect was that before his people could take action, Liu He had already broken through the city, Jia Zhao was a little ashamed while deeply admiring Liu He, as a Guzang clan, he didn't make an inch of merit after the arrival of the lord, and at this time, Zhang Meng came to the front and gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions.
"Jia Gongzi, I know that your uncle is a favorite minister of the general's side, please say a few kind words in front of the general, spare my life, as long as the general is willing to spare me, I am willing to die for the general's loyalty." Zhang Meng knew that his fate was in the hands of others, and he couldn't do it if he didn't bow his head, so he hurriedly pleaded with Jia Zhao.
"Hehe, it's not up to me to decide your life and death, all of this needs to be decided by the lord, go, take this guy to see the lord." Jia Zhao made a contribution, and was proud in his heart, ignoring Zhang Meng's bitter pleading, and ordered Zhang Meng, whose face was like ashes, to be escorted to see Liu He.
