Chapter 656: A Family of All Hearts
Reprimanded Zhang Yuan Ruzhong to release wolf smoke to relax Zhang Heng's vigilance, and Zhong ordered an archer named Nan Jiyun to shoot Zhang Heng with an arrow through the fog, and then took advantage of the collapse of the defenders of the city to break the city, and silently said.
Under the big tree, there was a deathly silence, and everyone fell into a panic and dazedness.
No one expected that under Zhang Yuan's command, another guy would emerge, who had such superb archery skills, and could shoot Zhang Heng through the wolf smoke.
"Zhang He, he was shot to death like this? How is this possible, how is this possible? Han Sui was petrified in place, his face was as white as paper, and his eyes were filled with horror and confusion.
was shot to death like this.
This solid fortress that he spent countless energy and financial resources and spent many years to build has also fallen?
Han Sui never dreamed that there were such strange people hidden under Zhang Yuan's command, who could shoot his general with an unfathomable arrow through the wolf smoke and fog.
"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan-" Han Sui was frightened and angry, the qi and blood in his chest were tumbling and agitated, and under the anger, for a while, he was dizzy, and there were signs of unsteady standing.
"Father!" Han Shu was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward with Zhou Xing and others to support Han Sui.
After gasping for a while, Han Sui suppressed the tumbling qi and blood, forcibly subdued the surging mood, gritted his teeth, and scolded angrily: "Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, dare to kill this king's beloved general, hateful, hateful-"
"Father, don't worry, we have tens of thousands of male soldiers, and we are fighting on the local side of Liangzhou, even if we lose the city and have fear, why don't we go north and fight to the death with Zhang Yuan, and avenge Zhang Zhang!" Han Shu was young and vigorous, and shouted angrily and confidently.
The support of the wealthy families in Liangzhou is the foundation of Han Sui's foothold in Liangzhou, and Xiangyang is the place where the big clans live the most.
After Zhang Yuan captured Yueyang, he killed the Yueyang clan, and Han Sui was naturally worried that if someone missed and Xiangyang fell, these Liangzhou clans would also be slaughtered by Zhang Yuan.
If these clans were destroyed, he would lose the foundation of his commander, so he had to prepare in advance to protect these supporters of his.
"I understand, I'll do it." Han Shu immediately understood, gave up his hand, and rode away.
Han Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, boarded the dry land, looked back at the north shore again, and rekindled a bit of arrogance in his firm eyes, and snorted coldly: "Zhang Yuan, it's just that you are majestic in the dry land, this surging west, I see what tricks you can play." ”
……
Just when Han Sui had just withdrawn from the west, the 50,000 cavalry army led by Zhang Yuan had already left the city and marched south, heading straight for Fancheng.
Before he became dusk, Zhang Yuan finally saw Fan Cheng.
This river city across the river from Xiangyang stands majestically on the north bank of the west, and the long city wall shows its importance.
"The legendary Fancheng is really worthy of its name, the city wall is so big, it seems that Han Sui spent no less thought in this city than the city......" Zhang Yuan looked at Fancheng and sighed, in his mind, those about Fancheng were turned up one by one.
The city of Xiangyang, since ancient times is very strange, although it is the core of Liangzhou, a strategic town, but if you want to hold Xiangyang, you must first defend Fancheng, if Fancheng is lost, then Xiangyang must not be defended, as the so-called no Fan is no Xiang, Xiangyang and Fancheng are as one.
Zhang Yuan remembered that in history, Guan Yu's northern expedition to Xiangfan, although he captured Xiangyang, was killed by Li Yu to defend Fancheng, and he could not attack it for a long time, and was finally copied by the Wu army, and finally ended up dead and famous.
Historically, Nanguan and Zhang Gu's army fought in Xiangfan for many years, and Zhang Gu's army was also able to successfully cross the west and take Xiangyang after conquering Fancheng.
If Xiangyang is the core of Liangzhou, then Fancheng is the core of the core, how can Zhang Yuan not know this truth.
Right now, the core of this core is right in front of you.
Zhang Yuansui didn't talk nonsense, and on the same day, he ordered the army to complete the encirclement of Fancheng from the north, east and west, leaving only the south gate unsurrounded.
Zhang Yuan did not enclose the south gate according to Li Si's proposal for two reasons.
First of all, Zhang Yuan's army went south, killed Zhang Heng, and captured the city, which must have shaken the people of Fujian **, and the people's hearts were unstable.
Leaving a gate is equivalent to leaving a way out for the people of Fancheng, giving them one more choice to abandon the city and flee.
Another reason is that the south is the surging west, if Zhang Yuan besieges the south gate, his soldiers and horses will be attacked by the Fujian army in the city and the powerful Xiangyang cavalry in the west
When the human head falling from the sky, sure enough, Fan Cheng's already uneasy hearts became even more panicked, and before the battle, they had a deep fear of the Zhou army.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan shot thousands of Zhangzhang into Fancheng with arrows, informing the soldiers and people of Fancheng that they would sacrifice Yang He's head and surrender Kaicheng, and Zhang Yuan would not commit any offence against them, otherwise, after the city was broken, they would pay a heavy price.
Under this powerful psychological offensive, the morale of the people in Fancheng soon suffered a heavy blow, and Yang He had to take measures to suppress the city in order to maintain stability in the city.
Within a few days, more than 100 soldiers and civilians were all beheaded by Yang He, and with this bloody policy of suppression, Yang He also suppressed the uneasy hearts for a while.
At the same time, Yang He also invited several families in Fancheng to come forward and use their prestige to appease people's hearts.
Because Zhang Yuan wantonly destroyed the powerful people of the world in Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, and implemented Wang Anshi's reform in the Zhou State, which seriously damaged the interests of the powerful people of the world, after the news reached the Fujian State, Zhang Yuan was regarded as a mortal enemy by the powerful people of the Liangzhou family.
Now that Zhang Yuan's army is pressing, these powerful people are afraid that after the city is broken, Zhang Yuan will be ruthless to them, and they are naturally very active in contributing to Yang He.
These clans not only came forward to appease the hearts of the army and the people, but also pulled out their own servants and guests to form a private corps of more than 2,000 people to assist Yang He in maintaining order within Fancheng, so that Yang He could transfer all his forces to the front line of the city wall to garrison.
The strong help of the powerful people of the world made Yang He suddenly feel a little more confident.
"These powerful people of Fancheng are really not afraid of death, and they are determined to go against this king!" Zhang Yuan threw the information in his hand on the case, and the murderous intent in the eagle's eyes was fierce.
"The king has implemented a change to get rid of the cancer of the world, and their resistance is also expected, after the city is broken, they will be wiped out." Li Si explained lightly.
Li Dingguo then shouted: "Simply, let's stop such a psychological offensive, the king will give the order, the whole army will attack the city, and this Fancheng will be razed to the ground." ”
