Chapter 453: Dingyang City
It took less than two hours for Xiahou Yuan to come back, and Xiahou Yuan also brought back a shocking news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dingyang City not only does not have any defense system, but it is also a plate of scattered sand.
Moreover, at that time, Xiahou Yuan also said that if he was not worried that Dingyang City might be a trap, he would have led the twenty people who went with him to take Dingyang City.
Just after Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, Xu Shu was stunned. Although Xiahou Yuan has always been the backbone of Cao De's command, and can also be ranked at the top of the first-class generals of the Han Dynasty, but with just one Xiahou Yuan and twenty personal guards, can he take Dingyang City?
Even if there are only 1,000 defenders in Dingyang City, that's still a thousand.
Xiahou Yuan saw the confusion in Xu Shu's eyes, and Xiahou Yuan explained, "Military advisor, you don't know the so-called thousand soldiers." Can you call it a soldier, it's just a bunch of ruffians and hooligans. is skinny, and only when he bullies the common people is he a little energetic.
After hearing this, Xu Shu nodded, Dingyang City is also a big city, but in such a city, its defenders are so unbearable. So, Yu Shuying asked, "What about the county order of Dingyang City?" ”
Xiahou Yuan replied without thinking, it is said that he was called to a meeting by the county guard of Shangjun, and this meeting has been held for almost two months and has not returned, there must be a problem.
Xu Shu pondered for a moment, "Is there anything unusual in the city?" ”
This time, Xiahou Yuan thought about it carefully before saying, "Just one word, chaos." ”
At this time, Zhang Ren proposed: "Military advisor, why don't you let the last general take 5,000 soldiers to attack first?" Even if there is an ambush, the military division can make countermeasures in time. ”
If you just guess, you can't guess Dong Zhuo's intentions. Since you can't guess, you have to give it a try. However, even if Xu Shu wanted to have gray hair, I am afraid that Xu Shu would not have thought that Dong Zhuo was going to give almost all of the annexes to Cao De.
Zhang Ren set off and led the 5,000 infantry belonging to the Tianxiang Army towards Dingyang City. And Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan led a large army to follow from afar.
All the way to the march, Zhang Ren did not encounter any situation. Moreover, when Zhang Ren arrived outside Dingyang City, Dingyang City did not close the city gate.
At this moment, Zhang Ren was also stunned.
You see, the so-called defenders at the gates of the city only looked up at themselves and then fell asleep again. Moreover, their weapons must be a foot or two away from their hands. Zhang Ren also found that some of the defenders actually got up from the ground with such a swagger and then went to the root of the city wall to soak urine, and after paying attention to themselves for a while, they went back to sleep.
This is a swollen condition. After all these years of fighting, these soldiers will not be so indifferent.
Zhang Ren looked at the city gate hole with the city gate wide open again, as well as the defenders who ignored him, and didn't dare to move.
If you pass like this, if there are dense archers in the city, I am afraid that your own casualties will be great. However, if he left like this, Zhang Ren would be reluctant to leave the extremely attractive city gate hole.
"Come on, form a shield formation, and attack slowly!"
Low trumpets and war drums sounded. The 5,000 Tianxiang infantry army immediately set up a tight shield array according to the instructions of the Lingqi.
"Roar! Rumble! Roar! Rumble! Roar! Boom ......"
Uniform sound, uniform pace.
The 5,000 Heavenly Xiang Army, every time they shout a slogan, they take a step.
Such a large formation finally attracted the attention of the defenders of Dingyang City. However, the reaction of the defenders of Dingyang City was to quickly get up from the ground and run into the city in a panic.
Little by little, time is passing. Zhang Ren is getting closer and closer to the city wall of Dingyang City.
Why hasn't there been a reaction yet? Is it really an ambush? Zhang Ren's head was full of question marks, and the heads of Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan, who came in advance from the big back, were also full of question marks.
Soon, the shield array of the Tianxiang Army had already reached the city of Dingyang City, but there was still no reaction from Dingyang City.
Zhang Ren rode a war horse from the passage that the soldiers gave way to Dingyang City, "Captain Tianxiang Buzuo, I will lead five hundred people into the city to see, if there is an ambush waiting for an opportunity!" ”
"General, let's go down!" Captain Tianxiang Buzuo said immediately.
"Nope. If there is an ambush, I am confident that I can rush out. Moreover, the only one who is most familiar with these soldiers is you! Securing a good retreat is your first task. If you can't do it, you must save the lives of soldiers! ”
Tianxiang didn't want Captain Zuo to see the seriousness and persistence in Zhang Ren's eyes, so he could only nod his head and promise!
"Choking~!"
Zhang Ren pulled out the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear behind his back and yelled: "Kill~!" ”
The shield soldiers of the Tianxiang Army, who were at the front, immediately opened the shield array in their hands. Five hundred prepared swords and axes rushed out of the large formation, followed Zhang Ren's pace and rushed into the city.
Zhang Ren, who rushed into the city, passed through the city gate, but the situation in the city surprised Zhang Ren.
Is this really an ambush?
In the eye, in addition to the crowd fleeing around, there was a presence in armor.
And just when Zhang Ren was puzzled, Zhang Ren saw a scene that made him even more incredible.
A group of brightly dressed figures were walking towards them quickly.
"Who's here?" Zhang Ren shouted.
"General, General! We are a family in the city, and we heard that a large army is coming, and we have come to present the great seal of the city! A leader held a box from a tray on the side, and was about to present it to Zhang Ren.
"The Great Seal in the City?"
"It's the Great Seal. In the city of Xianai, the rich family, in the next surname Qiao. There are some ways in the city of Shangjun, and I heard the news that the county guard and some Shangjun county commanders have already gone to Shangdang. At this moment, Dingyang City is fundamentally unmanaged. For the sake of the lives of 30,000 old and young people in the city, I have come to present the big seal in the city, and please be merciful with the saber. The man who claimed to be surnamed Joe said.
"Oh? Take a look at the Great Seal! ”
The rich man hurriedly asked his servant to trot in front of Zhang Ren with a wooden box containing a large seal.
Zhang Ren opened the box and lifted the things in the city to see that it was indeed the Dingyang Great Seal.
"Where are the defenders of the city?" Zhang Ren asked.
"I have ordered the defenders in the city to go to the camp and wait for the general to take over!"
"You're just a rich man, why would the defenders of the city obey your orders?" This is indeed a doubt.
"Hehe, there is some surplus food in the next house. These days, the daily consumption of the defenders is provided under the order, and they have to listen to the orders of the next! "If you have food, you are an uncle, and if you have food, you can do evil.
Zhang Ren glanced at it, and the soldiers behind him could have someone running backwards, this was going to call people outside the city.
Half an hour later, Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan entered the city. There really wasn't any ambush in the city, and it was empty.
Before Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan entered the city, Zhang Ren had seen those so-called defenders. Zhang Ren only glanced at it, and he only needed to use eight words to report to Xu Shu, "Old, weak, sick and disabled, skinny!" ”
After Xu Shu took over Dingyang City, he also inquired about the rich man. Then, Zhang Ren, Ma Zhong, and Zang Ba each went out with 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry to confirm the news.
And this so-called confirmation message is just divided into three directions to receive the city.
Two days later, Zhang Ren, Ma Zhong and Zang Ba sent back the news. And Xu Shu immediately wrote an urgent report to Cao De.
This urgent report is exactly the information that Cao De needs most now!
