Chapter 145 Capture of Nanzheng
In the night, Wei Yan had already led his army to sneak quietly outside the gate of Nanzhengdong City, and had been quietly waiting for the city to send a signal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A group of sergeants patrolling the city came to a halt and shook their torches from side to side a few times.
The answer is coming! Wei Yan hurriedly ordered the sergeant to put the long ladder up to the top of the city, and was the first to climb up the city, and asked softly, "How is it?" ”
Neying replied, "Now the defenders in the city are in chaos. Judging by the movement, it should be that the military division has succeeded in luring the enemy, and the defenders in the city are gathering at the north gate, so they should be about to be fooled out of the city. ”
"Great, let them hurry up and move the nest for Lao Tzu." Wei Yanle is broken.
The sergeant in the back climbed up and untied the hook around his waist.
The answering sergeant hurriedly pointed to the back of the city wall: "Just go down from here, there are your own people waiting there to lead you there." ”
The sergeant who had just climbed up fastened the iron hook, grabbed the rope and immediately slid down quietly.
In the darkness of the night, the procession of five hundred men divided into two columns, like two groups of ants, one after the other climbed the wall, and then slipped down the rope one after the other, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
After going down to about 300 sergeants, Wei Yan ordered the follow-up personnel to suspend the climbing of the city, withdraw the ladder first, and wait for the enemy to leave the city at the north gate.
Another group of patrolling sergeants came over, and Wei Yan quickly dodged and rolled over the wall, clasping the battlements tightly with both hands. One by one, the sergeants who responded came up against the city wall, hiding Wei Yan's hiding place behind them.
Several Hanzhong sergeants who came over arrived in front of them, greeted them warmly, and told them the good news: "I heard that reinforcements have come from outside the city, do you know? ”
The sergeant who answered hurriedly replied, "Have you been patrolling from the north gate?" That's great, there is hope for Nan Zheng to be saved now. ”
The visitor replied, "No, didn't you see that all the soldiers in the city ran to the north gate?" The enemy camp outside was earth-shattering. ”
The sergeant just wanted them to leave quickly: "That's good, so we can sleep peacefully in the future." ”
The team that came nodded and said, "Yes, it's a cold day, and being on duty at night can make people miserable." ”
As soon as these words came out, the sergeants who answered hurriedly shrank their necks one by one, sorted out their clothes, and made a posture to leave: "I won't tell you, it's really too cold, let's go first, and warm up our bodies."
The person who came even claimed that it was, but left first.
The sergeant who received the answer walked forward for a while, and immediately walked back again.
Wei Yan had already turned over to the city, and happened to see the firelight on the north side of the city moving outside the city, so he hurriedly signaled the sergeants outside the city to set up a long ladder again, and all of them quickly climbed the city wall.
As more and more people went up the city wall, Wei Yan didn't wait for all of them to gather, and some of the people who took the lead went straight to the East City Tower and quickly touched it.
The sergeants who responded ran in front and took the opportunity to take down several sentry posts, until one mistake caused the enemy sentry to scream loudly, and then quickly lit all the torches of the men and horses behind them with the torches in their hands.
Wei Yan asked everyone to throw half of the torches high and throw them into the city, and then gave the order to kill the city tower.
When the two hundred warriors who had already infiltrated the city saw the signal, they also lit their torches and threw them around, shouting: "Oh no, the enemy has come in through the south gate!" Run, everybody! Then one by one, they quickly concentrated in the direction of the East Gate Tower.
In the open field outside the east city gate, countless torches were also quickly lit, and Huang Quan, who was originally staying on the south bank of the Han River, also led the remaining 1,000 soldiers, all of whom crossed the Han River at night and rushed to the city.
Wei Yan killed all the way along the city wall, and the three hundred warriors who had infiltrated the city came out of the city again, and Huang Quan outside the city led people to set up a cloud ladder and rush violently, attacking in three ways.
Originally, the defenders kept their main forces on the north gate, and the east gate had few troops, so they were suddenly attacked, and the city gate was lost in a short time, and the sergeants took advantage of the night to escape. Huang Quan's army quickly entered the city.
Outside the city, Yang Ang and Yang Bai had just led the army to rush to the Geliang military camp, and Zhang Wei in the camp had already led the army to rush out, shouting loudly: "You have been fooled!" You've been fooled! ”
"You've been fooled!" Ge Liang took his tin tin horn and stood on a high sentry tower and shouted to the enemy troops, "There are no reinforcements from you!" I don't believe you've looked closely, but the torches behind my camp are coming at you! ”
When Yang Ang heard this, he turned his horse's head and was about to run: "It's over, it's over, I said earlier that this is another trick of the enemy." ”
Yang Bai still had a trace of luck, really stood up on the horseback and looked into the distance, and sure enough, all the torches that were surging backwards turned around and rushed over here, and he no longer hesitated, turned around and followed Yang Ang, and ordered loudly: "Withdraw!" Get back into the city! ”
Where could the team that had just rushed desperately stop their feet, and collided with each other in a mess.
Ge Liang was still shouting: "You can't go back to the city!" Now that our ambush army has entered the city, I don't believe you can take a look, there is already a fire in Nanzheng City! You have no way out, hurry up and lay down your arms and surrender to save your lives! ”
The soldiers of Zhongyizhou chased after them closely, and at the same time shouted: "Surrender and avoid death!" Surrender or die! ”
Many of Yang Ang's current sergeants were released by Ge Liang, and they had no intention of fighting at all, especially when they were mixed with people who were ordered by Ge Liang to be part of the internal response, and immediately took the lead at this moment and shouted loudly: "We surrender!" We surrender! ”
For a while, many Hanzhong sergeants stopped fleeing in defeat, stood in place and shouted for mercy, blocking other panicked sergeants who wanted to flee for their lives, so they had to squat down with their heads in their hands and surrender in unison.
Yang Ang and Yang Bai, who were in the Chinese army, turned around fast enough, and quickly retreated to the city with their men and horses, and their subordinates surrendered too much, and those sergeants who squatted on the ground and surrendered helped them a lot, blocking the pursuers behind them for a while, but could they still withdraw to the city?
After Wei Yan took the East City Gate, he didn't care about talking to Huang Quan at all, and directly asked people to lead the way to Zhang Lu's mansion.
Zhang Lu has been watching Yang Ang and Yang Bai lead the army out of the city, waiting for their good news of breaking the enemy's army, suddenly the city is full of fire, and the shouts of Yizhou sergeants and the exclamations of the people in the city are heard everywhere, and suddenly his face is bloodless,
Yan Pu was still calm, knowing that he had been fooled again, Nan Zheng couldn't keep it at all, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him to quickly go to the government to pick up Zhang Lu's family, and then let the sergeants hold the north gate, the situation in other parts of the city is already unknown, and now there is Yang Ang and they still have the front, and the north gate is still guaranteed for the time being.
When Zhang Lu's family was brought over, everyone hurried out of the north gate, and met Yang Ang and Yang Bai who were defeated and retreated, and hurriedly greeted: "Evacuate quickly, the city can't be saved, hurry up and run for your life." ”
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Zhang Lu took Yang Ang and Yang Bai, led a small remnant of the army, and fled to Xixiang by a detour. (To be continued.) )
