Chapter Seventy-Six: Youzhou Pacification
In the next few days, Zhang Liao no longer held on behind closed doors, and the two sides attacked and defended each other, but they were still in a stalemate, Zhang Liao could not break through Jixian, and Han Rong also had no way to take the camp run by Zhang Liao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Time was in this stalemate and tense atmosphere, and after more than 20 days, more than 20 days, the turning point finally arrived.
"Did you find it?" Looking at the feng shui master in front of him, Zhang Liao said.
"Live up to the trust." The feng shui master's name is Pei Yi, and he bowed to Zhang Liao with a bit of excitement in his eyes.
Building a secret passage is not a simple matter, after all, there are no advanced tools in this era, most of the secret passages are dug out by relying on the terrain and walking the leylines, so for a clever feng shui master, there is no need to deliberately look for it, just need to find the nearby leylines and explore to find them.
Guo Xin said a little excitedly: "That secret passage has not been discovered now, it can go straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and the general can order an elite division to sneak into the city from the secret passage and secretly open the city gate." ”
Zhang Liao nodded, turned his head to look at Pang De and said: "Ling Ming, I order you to choose three hundred elite divisions to follow Pei Yi to infiltrate from the secret road, and wait for the opportunity to open the city gate tonight, and I will lead the army to meet outside the city!" ”
"Whoa!" Pound got up and said with a high pride.
That night, Pang De selected three hundred elite soldiers from the army to follow Pei Yi out of the camp quietly, these days the two sides of the scouts near Jixian Clash continued, large-scale battles did not fight again, but small-scale conflicts occur almost every day, three hundred people were dispersed by Pang De, and then converged in the woods ten miles away from the barracks, no matter how shrewd Han Rong was, in the case of unequal information, there was no way to detect it, and three hundred people quietly infiltrated the Assassin's Mansion.
Jixian Thorn Mansion is Yuan Xi's residence, and the garrison is naturally strict, and tonight coincides with Yuan Xi setting up a banquet in the mansion to expand Han Rong, and it was not until late at night that the banquet could be dispersed.
"General, there are guards everywhere, what should I do?" A guard cautiously came back from outside, sneaked into the secret passage, and asked worriedly.
"Go a few people and wait for an opportunity to sneak into the city and set it on fire." Pound said in a deep voice.
The goal of 300 people is too big, but if it is just a few smart soldiers, it will naturally be easier.
"Whoa!" The guards agreed, and after a while, several black shadows burst out from a remote courtyard somewhere in the Assassin's Mansion, and quietly rushed away from all directions.
After a while, Pound heard a commotion outside, but it was not to fight the fire, but the people they sent had been found and were being hunted down.
"Let's go!" Those people couldn't have lured all the guards in the mansion away, but there was no better chance.
At that moment, Pound rushed out with the rest of the guards.
"What man!?" After all, the movement here still aroused the vigilance of the guards in the Assassin's Mansion, and Pang De shook his hand and threw out one and killed the guard, but it also aroused the vigilance of the other guards in the mansion.
"Kill it! A team of ten will scatter into the city to cause chaos, leaving thirty behind, and follow me to open the city gates!" Pound's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, as for how many of these people scattered into the city can survive, then let them have their own destiny.
"Kill!" Three hundred people roared in unison, each with a sword in their hands, rushed out to kill, and scattered the guards of the Assassin's Mansion who had just rushed to this side, and quickly formed a team of ten people and killed in different directions, Pang De was about to leave the mansion with thirty people, but saw Yuan Xi rushing out of the mansion in a panic with a spear, and met Pang De's men and horses.
After several confrontations, Pang De naturally recognized Yuan Xi, seeing him at this moment, he was not surprised or happy in his heart, if he could kill Yuan Xi, it would be easier to create chaos, and at that moment the tiger roared, pounced on Yuan Xi, and shouted sharply: "Yuan Xi'er, die!" ”
By the light of the fire, Yuan Xi finally saw Pang De's appearance clearly, before Han Rong came here, Pang De had killed many Yuan army generals in front of the battle, Yuan Xi naturally recognized the person, knowing that it was a fierce general in Zhang Liao's army, he couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously turned around and wanted to run, but since he was targeted, how could Pang De allow him to leave so easily, grabbed a few steps, killed the two guards with a knife, probed with his left hand, grabbed Yuan Xi's back collar, and in Yuan Xi's frightened cry for help, he raised his knife and fell, cut Yuan Xi's head to the ground, threw away the head, and said sharply: " Kill it! ”
Seeing that Yuan Xi was killed, the guards in the palace fell into chaos for a while, some people ran to report Han Rong, some people fled in a panic, and some pounced to avenge Yuan Xi.
Pang De slashed Yuan Xi with a knife, for fear that Han Rong would find out at this moment and lead the army to seize the city gate, so what he planned tonight would be in vain, so he didn't dare to stay, so he took people to grab a few war horses, and rushed out of the Thorn Shi Mansion, looking all the way in the direction of the city gate.
Han Rong was woken up by someone in his sleep, after all, he was old, he was a little tired from sleeping too late, and when he woke up, the city was already in chaos.
"What's going on?" Han Rong was woken up by his subordinates, and when he heard the shouts of killing outside, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked.
"General Hui, there is a group of enemy troops who somehow infiltrated the Assassin's Mansion and killed the second son, and now they are causing chaos in the city." The guards said anxiously: "The soldiers are waiting for you to preside over the overall situation!" ”
"Not good!" Han Rong was shocked when he heard this, he didn't care about saying more, and said anxiously: "Quick, order my personal guard battalion to rush to the city gate to rescue, don't worry about the chaos in the city first!" ”
"Whoa!" Hearing this, the guards hurriedly bowed down and took the order to give orders, and their own soldiers stepped forward to help the veteran put on armor and move horses.
"Quick, faster!" Pound hit the horse and galloped, the gold-backed chopping knife in his hand sprinkled pieces of golden rain, the knife light passed everywhere, leaving a corpse, and the guards behind him became fewer and fewer, when Pound killed under the city gate, there were only eleven of the thirty guards.
"Open the gates, and wait with me to stop the enemy!" Pound slashed the war horse to death with a knife and blocked it in front of the city gate as a meat shield.
"Shameless boy, dare to plot a sneak attack!" In a majestic roar, Han Rong had already led the army to rush up, seeing that the city gate was being slowly opened, he couldn't help but be furious, he picked up his bow and arrows, and the two arrows burst out of the air at the same time, nailing the two soldiers who were opening the door to death on the city gate!
"Keep going! I'm here to stop him! Pang De roared angrily, stood behind the horse's corpse with his head held high, and swung his knife to shoot down the two more arrows that Han Rong fired.
"Shameless child, suffer death!" Through the gap, he had already seen the army outside the city killing this side, Han Rong couldn't help but roar angrily, and slapped his horse and danced his spear to fight Pang De.
Pang De knew that this old man was superb in martial arts, and at this time it was a war horse, and it was not good for him to fight hard, so he immediately lowered his body, crouched behind the horse's corpse, and when Han Rong jumped into the doorway, he violently swung his knife and cut off the horse's leg, but he was also hit in the back by a shot that Han Rong fell, and he stumbled and almost lost his breath.
"Die!" Han Rong turned over and jumped down from the horse, ignoring Pound, the gun trembled, stabbed the two soldiers who were struggling to open the door to death, and wanted to kill again, but Pound grabbed him from behind, and hit Han Rong's head fiercely, which immediately made Han Rong dizzy.
"Bastard!" Shaking his head, Han Rong's elbow pushed back, Pang De only felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and his hands were unconsciously released, Han Rong took advantage of the situation to put the spear in his hand backwards, stabbed it into Pang De's ribs, and was about to stab Pang De to death with a shot, but when he heard an angry roar outside the city gate, Zhang Liao had already jumped his horse, broke in from the open city gate, and stabbed Han Rong in the back, and the spear sank in from behind and burst out of his chest.
"Uh......" opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out, Zhang Liao pulled out the spear, Han Rong's body twitched a few times, and he knelt down in front of Pang De.
"Old general, offended." Zhang Liao looked at Han Rong, who was facing away from him, and said in a deep voice.
Han Rong didn't look at Zhang Liao, his trembling hands straightened his helmet, and his face was in the city, but he saw countless Yuan soldiers rushing here, a desolate smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were closed, and he fell into Pang De's arms without a sound.
"General, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" Pang De covered the spear that was still stuck in his body and saluted Zhang Liao.
"Come on, General Fu Pang will go down, and the others will follow me into the city!" Zhang Liao nodded, didn't say much, seeing that there were more and more Yuan soldiers around him, after hurriedly explaining, he lifted Han Rong's corpse, greeted the Yuan army in the city, and shouted: "Han Rong is dead, the city gate has been broken, do you still have to resist?" ”
A group of Yuan soldiers looked at Han Rong's corpse in Zhang Liao's hands, their faces suddenly changed greatly, Yuan Xi was dead, and now Han Rong was also killed in battle, and the two principals in the city were all killed.
"Kill!" Zhang Liao had an indifferent expression on his face, watching these guards kill him, the spear waved down fiercely, behind him, the crossbow that had been prepared quickly blocked in front of Zhang Liao, and a hundred crossbowmen with crossbows shot at these people, in an instant, the blood rained and rained, and the rows of guards fell in a pool of blood, and more and more soldiers poured in from outside the city, and quickly occupied the city wall under the command of Zhang Liao, driving the overwhelmed defenders to the city.
Zhang Liao threw down Han Rong's corpse, looked at the soldiers of the Yuan army who were at a loss, and said in a deep voice: "My lord is benevolent, as long as you put down your weapons, our army is not to blame for the past, you may not know, my lord Lu Bu has now captured Yecheng, Yuan Tan has been killed in battle, leaving only the remnants of Yuan Shang, which can be broken in a few days, and the Yuan family has been destroyed soon, why should you continue to be loyal to the Yuan family?" ”
Because the battle situation in Jizhou affected the morale of the army, Han Rong and Yuan Xi both chose to block the news, and ordinary soldiers didn't know the news that Yecheng had been breached.
"Dangchang~"
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yuan Jun, who was not mentally strong, silently threw away his weapon, and saw that someone took the lead, and the main generals in the city, Yuan Xi and Han Rong, were dead, more and more people chose to put down their weapons and kneel to surrender.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao's tense heart finally relaxed, although there were still Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan and others who would be stationed in Yuyang and other places, but with the defeat of Yuan Xi and Han Rong, the battle of Youzhou was decided. (To be continued.) )
