Chapter 32: Wancheng Kills Thieves
However, on the fourth day, Sun Jian rushed to Xiangcheng with 3,000 foot soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As for Gao Ye and Zhu Jun, they have been discussing how to suppress thieves in the past few days. After all, Wancheng is no better than others, it is a rare fortified city, and if it is attacked, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, the two have been discussing how to reduce casualties.
The situation in Wancheng at this time is very different from that in history. In history, when Zhu Jun led his troops to attack Wancheng, it was already November, and most of the Yellow Turbans had been pacified. Moreover, the new Nanyang County Warden Qin Jie counterattacked Zhang Mancheng, who occupied Wancheng, in July, and Zhang Mancheng was killed in battle. After a battle within the Yellow Turban, Zhao Hong was promoted to become the new Qu Shuai, but he didn't expect to be chopped by Zhu Jun. After another battle, Han Zhong was pushed to the position of Qu Shuai again, but unfortunately the strength of the Yellow Turban was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and he couldn't wear Lu Min, so Han Zhong had to surrender to Zhu Jun, and finally died in the hands of Qin Jie. The Nanyang Yellow Turban was also pacified.
But now it's different, Zhang Mancheng is still living well in Wancheng, although Sun Zhong, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong and others don't deal with each other on weekdays, but there is no conflict under Zhang Mancheng, especially after knowing that Zhu Juntun soldiers Xiangcheng, they are even more united, and no longer pay attention to the dirtiness that they have had.
The city is high and the pool is deep, which is the characteristic of Wancheng, if it weren't for the incident in Zhang Mancheng, there were countless internal responses in Wancheng, and they took the city gate and put them into the Yellow Turban Army, but I am afraid that Zhang Mancheng will not be able to defeat Wancheng in his life. Now it's okay, if Zhang Mancheng defends the city, his side wants to attack the city, and he doesn't know how much he will pay.
Fortunately, when Sun Jian finally arrived, neither he nor Zhu Jun had any good way, except for a strong attack, there was indeed no other way to recover Wancheng. After listening to the conclusions of the two, Sun Jian thought about it carefully and agreed with this statement, but he did not have the same pessimistic attitude as Zhu Jun and Gao Ye.
"General, high school lieutenant, although the siege is difficult, but it has to be done. Besides, most of the Yellow Turban thieves are ordinary people, and they are negligent in training, thinking that Manchester City is a farmer, where do they know what kind of military formation, so the last general thinks that the difficulty of attacking the city will not be very great. Maybe you can go down in one go. ”
"Wentai, don't underestimate Zhang Mancheng, in the end, he won Wancheng in one day, and he still has some ability." Zhu Jun replied, "If there can be people like Bocai in the Yellow Turban Army, don't take Zhang Mancheng and others lightly. ”
Although Gao Ye really wanted to say that Bocai was actually not bullshit, but it was luck that he defeated you for a while, a commander who didn't even guard against fire attacks at the grass checkout couldn't be regarded as a commander at all, if he was in Gao Ye's army. I'm afraid that being a captain will come to an end. But Gao Ye can't say that, how can he say that Zhu Jun's old man's prestige was defeated in the hands of a little-known kid like Bo Cai, if you don't talk about him a little more, where do you let Zhu Jun's face go?
Sun Jian is naturally not stupid, nodding his head frequently and saying yes, he looks like a teachable child, which complements Gao Ye's current expression. However, Gao Ye still said: "No matter what, since we have already converged, it is better to set off to Wancheng tomorrow, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there will always be a way." ”
"Well, that's what Mingxi said. Wentai, are all your men and horses settled? After camping, we will go to rest quickly, and we will march tomorrow. ”
"Whoa."
In Wancheng, Zhang Mancheng and others gathered in the Taishou Mansion, but they didn't have the slightest intention of discussing military aircraft, and the sound of cheers was all over the room. There is not only wine and meat here, but also several dancing girls. These dancing girls were originally the playthings of the Taishou Mansion, and since Zhang Mancheng and others occupied Wancheng and killed the Taishou, they naturally took these dancing girls into their pockets.
In fact, not to mention these dancing girls, even Taishou's wife and daughter have not escaped the poisonous hands of Zhang Mancheng, the sperm-like Qu Shuai, not to mention others? Perhaps this is the reason why peasant uprisings have rarely succeeded since ancient times, and this concept of drinking today and getting drunk today has made them become unscrupulous after winning one or two victories, and eventually lose the hearts of the people, and naturally cannot sit firmly in the world.
Such a story, I am afraid that Li Zicheng is especially representative. Killed in Beijing, forced Chongzhen to death, and did whatever he wanted, and finally occupied Chen Yuanyuan's Li Zicheng, and Wu Sangui, who was angry at Chong Guan, led the Qing soldiers to kill a fart.
Of course, Zhang Mancheng didn't know what Gao Ye was doing in the city, because Gao Ye was now organizing the whole army to make siege equipment. The three of them set off early in the morning and set up camp outside Wancheng in the evening. I saw that there were many people patrolling above Wancheng, and when they saw their army coming, it became even more noisy, and after a while, the number of Yellow Turban troops on the city wall doubled. The crowd couldn't, so they had to find a way to storm it.
Since it is a strong attack, there must be siege equipment, fortunately, there are woods not far away, and it is not a problem to build a dozen ladders. Gao Ye's three people faced Wancheng, they all looked like they were facing a great enemy, if they knew that Zhang Mancheng and the others were spending all day drinking in the Taishou Mansion, they would all look at each other.
In the early morning of the second day, Gao Ye took the lead in going to the city to fight, pointed to the head of the city, and shouted: "No brave bandits, quickly call Zhang Mancheng to come out and die!" ”
It's just that Zhang Mancheng is still sleeping peacefully at this time, how do you know that someone is fighting here? At this time, at the head of the city, standing is Zhang Mancheng's subordinate Sun Hanzhong, to say Han Zhong, but he is a short-tempered person, when he was in his hometown, he also killed people because of anger, and the reason is simple and outrageous! It's just because the guy who was killed robbed him of three cents! Maybe a rich man like Gao Ye can't understand why he should kill people for the sake of three cents. But for a poor ghost like Han Zhong, maybe the three cents are all his belongings. Because Han Zhong killed someone, he wandered around, and finally joined the Yellow Turban. Because of his bravery, Zhang Mancheng appointed him as his lieutenant.
Han Zhong is in his thirties this year, and he is conceited and brave on weekdays, didn't he see the captain of Wancheng being hacked to death without even taking three moves under his hands? Of course, he didn't know that the captain of Wancheng was a weak scholar who couldn't even use a sword, if he didn't have a good father, where would he be able to get into such a position.
Han Zhong couldn't help but feel angry when he saw a teenage doll coming to the city to fight, a good Zhu Jun really didn't treat my uncle and me as a human being, so he sent a little doll to attack the city? Really, when my Taiping Road is all mud, can't I make it? This thought made Han Zhong more and more angry the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't bear it, coupled with Gao Ye's cynicism in the city, how ugly and ugly the words were, if this can be endured, what can't be endured!
Gao Ye didn't expect that someone would really come out to fight with him, and he originally came to scold people, just for Gao Ye Zhu Jun and others to have more time to make siege equipment, not to mention that the army was coming to the city, and it was not good to do nothing on the first day, so I asked for this scolding errand, but I didn't expect that someone really couldn't help it?
Gao Ye saw that the person who came was also burly, holding a long knife in his hand, a thin horse in his crotch, and his head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, his appearance was not good, and he ran out of the city, and said angrily: "Where did the doll come from, hurry to send it to death!" I'll give you a ride today, grandpa! ”
After saying that, he stopped talking, and waved his sword straight into the night.
Gao Ye saw such a good thing, how could he be indifferent! Although I don't know what the martial arts of the person in front of me are, I haven't heard of any powerful characters in the Yellow Turban Army, maybe that Guan Hai, who fought with Guan Yu for more than ten rounds, is already the peak of martial arts in the Yellow Turban Army.
I have beheaded this person now, firstly, to hit the morale of the other party, and secondly, there are still military merits to be gained, why not do it? Gao Ye laughed, stepped forward, and swung forward with a gilded boring, facing Han Zhong's big knife, the blades intersected, Han Zhong only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the long knife was almost out of his hand, and he was horrified in his heart. It's just that Gao Ye won't give him much time to be afraid, the two horses are in the wrong stirrup, Gao Ye turned over and was a boring, and directly cut Han Zhong into two pieces.
The yellow scarves in the city are all shocked! This is the most powerful person in my Wancheng Taiping Dao! It was cut into two pieces at once! This... It's also terrifying.
Gao Ye beheaded Han Zhong, and without looking back, he once again raised his gilded boring and shouted at the city: "Quickly tell Zhang Mancheng to go out of the city and die!" "Only this time, no matter how ugly Gao Ye's scolding is, no one will come out again.
Zhang Mancheng knew that Han Zhong died in battle, it was already afternoon, he drank too much last night, and tossed on the belly of his daughter for half the night, where could he get up early this morning to get out of bed, and he was still a little dizzy until the afternoon, but when he heard that Han Zhong died in battle, the whole person instantly sobered up.
After all, Han Zhong was the first general under him, and now he died inexplicably, so he couldn't help but be surprised. Thinking that Zhu Jun had just been killed by Bocai not long ago and returned defeated, he still thought that he was nothing more than that, but he didn't expect to give himself a dismount today! This Han Zhong is also true, he said that he would defend the city with peace of mind, what did he go out for? Alas, let's get the others together and discuss how to defend the city.
It's a pity that before the people were called, they heard a quick report from the front line, Zhu Jun had already begun to attack the city, and Zhang Mancheng had to quickly lead people and rush to the city. I saw a group of cavalry under the city shooting arrows towards the city, and the most terrible thing was that they were all riding on horses and firing arrows at the city. Zhang Mancheng is so big, he has never fought a few battles, where has he ever seen such a technical method of cavalry and archery. He just found that the other party was well-trained, and there were not many people on his side who could even use bows and arrows, so naturally his own people died more, and the people on the other side died less.
Not only that, but there are countless soldiers carrying ladders and rushing to the city, not good! Three ladders had been erected over there, and soldiers were already climbing. Zhang Mancheng hurriedly commanded his men and quickly pushed the ladder down. In fact, if he had started to prepare earlier, and had prepared rolling wood and stones on the top of the city, or gold juice and hot oil, it would have been much easier to defend the city. It's just that his energy during this period of time has been focused on women, where has he ever thought about how to defend the city? In his opinion, a complete victory for his side was just around the corner, where did he think that Sun Jian had already attacked the city?
