Chapter 13: The Burning City
In the middle of the night in October, it was already a little cool, in the mansion of the general, Zhang Liang was lying on the couch with his wife and concubine, snoring loudly, and there were countless delicacies and wines beside the couch. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
An urgent report came, breaking Zhang Liangqi's dream.
"Report! General, the Han army will attack the east, west, and south gates in three ways!"
"Disturbing dreams!" Zhang Liang slapped Hache deeply, pinched his drunken eyes, and snorted coldly: "Wai three is missing one? Lead the way, and go to the north gate to sit down! ”
The guard who came to report paused, and said embarrassedly: "Well, General Digong ordered Zuo Zhangba and Zhang Niujiao to go to the east and west gates to guard the city, and he personally led his troops to the north gate......"
"Mom. Target! This..."Hearing that the north gate of the city that no one was attacking had been taken first by his brother Zhang Baojie, Zhang Liang secretly hated but had nothing to do, so he had to wave his hand and said: "That's it, Guangzong City is indestructible, even if the Han army comes, I am not afraid, go, go to the south gate!" ”
Zhang Liang picked up his own soldiers, drove out of the palace gate with armor and sword, and went to the south, at this time the entire Guangzong City had already shouted and killed, Zhang Liang couldn't help but wonder: "The old thief of Huangfu has entered the water, and he has not been able to resist it for many days, and he has not been able to attack the city even if it is not damaged, is there anything strange?" ”
How did everyone under his command know what the door was, they just stared at each other with big eyes and were silent.
Zhang Liang became more and more suspicious, and instructed the commander of his own soldiers: "Go to the barracks everywhere, and gather more soldiers to follow me to the south gate, just in case!" ”
"No!"
The guards took the order to go, Zhang Liang continued to walk towards the south gate, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who led the order were merged one after another, seeing that there were more and more teams behind him, Zhang Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and gradually let down his vigilance.
Although Guangzong City is already an iron wall, but after all, it is a county seat, the scale is not large, the more there is half a pillar of incense time, Zhang Liang panted up to the south city gate, poked his head out, and couldn't help but secretly hiss.
I saw that under the city gate, the torches were fierce, and I couldn't see the end at a glance, and the Han army under the city was surging like ants marching, and it hit the southern city of Guangzong City strongly!
Pieces of arrows with fire oil poured down the tower, turning the piles of Han soldiers into fire men, and they struggled and roared to climb the ladder, until the ladder was overturned, fell to the ground, and made a muffled sound, and then completely lost its sound!
Zhang Liang's teeth were cold, and he couldn't believe it: "This Huangfu Song is crazy!" Quickly transfer troops, bring more bows and crossbows, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe that he can attack this city! ”
Under the city gate, Huangfu Song led the generals to inspect the siege of the city, Huangfu Li saw the heavy losses, couldn't help but hesitate secretly, bit his lip and said to Huangfu Song: "Uncle, such a siege that is not as good as damage, if Pei Ling's kid is false, wouldn't he be in a dilemma, and the court will not bypass us!" ”
"Don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious of employing people, Zhou Cang has been used as a hostage in the rear army, and Wu Bai is also personally accompanied." Huangfu Song's face was dark, unfazed, and said calmly: "If it weren't for this method, it would be difficult to attack Guangzong City, and now you can only make a desperate bet!" One more camp! Quick, don't break gear! ”
The Han army attacked like a tide, wave after wave, without stopping, but not even a single person attacked the city!
The situation seems to be extremely favorable to the Yellow Turban Army, if it is defended this time, the Han Army is already half-crippled, but it is easy to launch a counterattack, but Zhang Liang saw this situation, but his heart became more and more uneasy!
"Huangfu Song is definitely not a reckless person, what does this mean?" Zhang Liang clenched his hands, cold sweat was about to break out between his fingers, he comforted himself, and only hoped that Huangfu Song would be in addition to a faint trick this time.
Let's ask, how can the person who can be the general of the Han Dynasty be a frizzy and reckless person?
The person under the city tower stumbled up, walked quickly to Zhang Liang's side, and said in a terrible voice: "General, the last general went to inform Zhang Niujiaoqu to guard the East City, but he was not found, and even the soldiers under his command were gone!" ”
Zhang Liang frowned when he heard this, but he was half-convinced, he just wanted to order his soldiers to visit the east gate in person, but there was another person under the city!
"The general is not good, a group of enemy troops appeared out of nowhere at the west city gate, the leader was armed with a giant hammer, and a few times he wounded the left bearded Zhangbaqu Shuai, and the melee in the city tower, our army suffered from the enemy on the back, please go to support quickly!"
"What!?" Zhang Liang secretly said that it was not good, the person who came was Zuo Colonel, the deputy general under the command of Zuo Zhangba, I am afraid it is true at this time, but... Where did the Han army in the city come from, did it fall from the sky!?
Zhang Liang has not yet prepared manpower to reinforce Xicheng, and another herald arrived, and he shouted before he went upstairs: "General, a large number of Han troops have popped up everywhere in the city, and General Digong has fled out of the north gate with his own soldiers!" ”
"I. Exercise. Uncle him! Zhang Liang was so angry at this time that he had long forgotten that he and Zhang Bao were an uncle, and he only felt that his heart was beating a beat, and he was wet with cold sweat, and muttered: "The big thing is going to happen..."
The first herald to deliver the letter took two steps forward, approached Zhang Liang for half a minute, and said softly: "General, if you stay in Qingshan, you are not afraid of no firewood, let's withdraw quickly!" ”
"Yes, yes... Right! Zhang Liang only came to his senses at this time, and the urge to run away was uncontrollable in his heart, Zhang Bao had run away, and Lao Tzu was still doing here!
Zhang Liang looked appreciatively at the herald who advised him to escape, and just wanted to speak, but saw that the herald's face was gloomy, and his right hand was on the Pu knife behind his waist. ”
When the herald saw through it, his eyes narrowed, a cold light suddenly appeared, and the blade slashed at Zhang Liang's chest like lightning!
Zhang Liang couldn't retreat in time, the placket of his chest was torn, containing blood, fortunately he had been prepared before, but he only hurt his flesh and skin, but the assassin's attack had already begun, and the second and third knives followed!
The situation suddenly changed, everyone was stunned on the spot for a while, Zhang Liang had no way to retreat, grabbed the left colonel who came to deliver the message next to him, and slammed it in front of him, as a meat shield!
"Ahh Before Colonel Zuo could react, his head rose with the blood, flew into the city, and was trampled into a meat pie!
The hot blood splashed Zhang Liang's head and face, he didn't care about wiping it, and took out a cold dagger from his boots, regardless of three, seven and twenty-one, it was a knife head-on, hitting the assassin in the cheek!
Zhang Liang's eyes showed a fierce light, stirring left and right, chopping the assassin's face door hideously, and laughed hysterically, "Hahaha!" wanted to assassinate Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu slaughtered it first...... Ga!? ”
At this moment, the abnormal protrusion protruded, and Zhang Liang's half-cut words were pressed back into his mouth!
I saw that in front of the dagger, the assassin's body suddenly emitted white light! In front of everyone's eyes, it quickly withered, dissipated, and finally turned into only a piece of rune paper!
"Fu... Fu Bing!? Zhang Liang was scattered, and his mind flashed the gaze that Zhang Jiao's corpse had stared at him before it exploded!
Just when the Yellow Turban soldiers were shocked, a figure suddenly appeared behind Zhang Liang at some point!
Zhang Liang sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, turned his head in horror, and a dark golden hideous face suddenly appeared, cold, blunt, and unpopular! Purple Gold Ghost Helmet!
"A certain great sage and good teacher will send you on the road!" The voice of the ghost-faced assassin is like that of a hellish ghost!
A cold light flashed, and Zhang Liang only felt a cold neck, which reminded him of the cold house where the three brothers lived when they were young! The blood sword spurted out of his throat, and he couldn't hold it down!
Zhang Liang's eyes bulged outward, and he fell to the ground!
Three Yellow Turban Brothers, Two of the Three!
That assassin was none other than Pei Ling!
Pei Ling took advantage of the fact that the yellow turban soldiers around him were on the spot, and before he could react, he picked up the dagger that Zhang Liang had fallen to the ground, and flew down the stairs of the city tower, and did not forget to shout in his busy schedule: "The city is broken, the general is dead, brothers, run!" ”
"What a Pei Ling!" Outside the city, Huangfu Song heard the shout, couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and ordered with a trembling voice: "Zhang Liang is dead, the beheading is successful, put a signal, and burn the city!" ”
The flames in the city were ignited in an instant, and after being catalyzed by the people who were secretly ambushed in the city, they became a sea of fire!
The city tower is even more roaring, and it is a mess, but ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers are enough, how can Zhang Liang's personal soldiers let Pei Ling go?
Before he could rejoice, Pei Ling only felt that the sky was dark, and countless feathered arrows flew in!
He was on the steps, unable to focus everywhere, there was no other way but to roll on the spot and reduce the area where the arrows were received, but there were still two feather arrows that hit Pei Ling's waist and legs.
Pei Ling didn't dare to delay, gritted his teeth and moved closer to the root of the city wall, and blocked the contact area of the feather arrows at the angle, at this time, the Han army had taken the opportunity to attack the city sporadically!
"Old Pei Mo worry, Wu Anguo is here!" At the critical moment, Wu Anguo rushed to the horse, and a sledgehammer was as huge as a grinding plate, with a thick copper rod on his upper arm, which was about six or seven feet long. There is a pumpkin-shaped metal hammer hoarded above, which looks like it is made of copper juice, but I don't know whether it is hollow or solid.
The sledgehammer danced, the wind whistled like a typhoon passing through, and the Yellow Turban Army was immortal and crippled, and after a while, a large open space was cleared on the steps!
The Yellow Turban soldiers had already hung up the commander, but seeing Wu Anguo's fierceness, they dropped their weapons one by one, hugged their heads and ran away, hoping that their parents would give birth to two more legs!
Wu Anguo was still unsatisfied, leaned into the city gate cave alone, and shouted, open!
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Pei Ling only felt that his ear bones were about to crack, and his mind was buzzing, and the south city gate with fine iron cracks was actually smashed apart by that huge force!
Seeing this, the Han army outside the city cheered loudly, and the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army was even more suffocating, and they ran away in a blink of an eye!
The night has passed, the early morning is coming, looking at Guangzong City from afar, it has become a sea of fire, and the monstrous flames seem to ignite the entire Jizhou sky!
After this battle, the city will be burned by fire, and Guangzong will be in ruins!
