Chapter 746: The Rebellion in Guanzhong, the Burning City!
Just when Sun Quan's pair of thief eyes were staring at Bingzhou, the Hedong War that broke out between Jin and Liang also took a surprising turn.
Tens of thousands of troops of Pang De, after crossing the Yellow River, hurried in the starry night, and in the shortest possible time, the troops arrived in Anyi City.
However, when their army approached the city, they said that they were not facing a well-guarded city, but a somewhat gloomy, calm city that made people's hearts palpitate.
I rushed for two days and two nights in a row, and it was already dark at night.
In Anyi City at night, there was not a trace of noisy sound, and Anyi City, which should have been closed, was also open at this moment, as if welcoming guests.
The army of the Liang army was stationed five hundred paces away from the city gate.
The main general Pang De stood a hundred steps in front of the city gate, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers on his left and right were holding torches, and his eyes were refracted by the firelight, staring at the city of Anyi, which was close at a short time.
"It's so quiet!" There was some uneasiness in his heart.
"General, according to our scout's report, there should still be thousands of elite soldiers and horses in Anyi City, at this moment, our soldiers are coming to the city, why are they so quiet, and the city gate is wide open?"
An adjutant general asked puzzledly, "Is it a surrender?" ”
"The whole army is on alert, without the order of this general, no attack, and you must maintain absolute vigilance, so that the horse does not unload the saddle, and the body does not leave the armor!"
Pound's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the city gate deadly, and said coldly: "Wait for General Ben's order!" ”
"No!"
Several lieutenants quickly arranged for the garrison and defense of the army.
"General, what does this Cheng Gongying mean?"
A scribe who accompanied the army asked in a low voice beside Pang De: "Anyi City is so important, once Anyi is lost, Han Sui will face the situation of being flanked back and forth, shouldn't he hold on to Anyi, why should he give up Anyi?" ”
"You think. Is he going to give up the city of Anyi? ”
Pound's eyes flashed with a sharp light when he heard this.
Cheng Gongying, this person, Pang De, knows very well, and this is definitely not a person who is tied up.
Xiliang was originally desolate, the generals were prosperous, and there were many people who were famous in the world, but there were strategists who could be famous in the whole world. But there are very few, Li Ru back then, Jia Xu now, after the two of them, the only one who can take a shot is probably this Cheng Gongying.
Ma Teng once sighed in front of him, if Cheng Gongying was the one who helped him, there would be nothing to do with Han Sui in Xiliang now.
It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Cheng Gongying.
When he was still in Liangzhou, Pang De was defeated once under Cheng Gongying. So he naturally has a deep impression of Cheng Gongying.
"Isn't it?"
Someone said coldly: "The army is coming to the city, even if his soldiers and horses are young and strong with temporary signs, at most there are only 10,000 people, if the door is closed, it can be held for a day or two, but now he is opening the door to meet the enemy, isn't it equivalent to giving us the loose of Anyi City in vain?" ”
The combat effectiveness of the Liang army under Pang De is not something that these Jin troops can resist.
"Scout Camp!" Pound thought for a moment. Shout.
"In!"
The Scout Camp Master will step forward and take the command.
"Thou hast sent the elite at once. Enter the city to detect one or two! Pang De said cautiously: "I must inquire whether there are soldiers and horses in the city, and the situation of soldiers and horses!" ”
"No!"
There were hundreds of elite scouts in the scout camp, and in the blink of an eye, they had already sunk into Anyi City in the night.
"General, could it be an empty city plan?"
One of the leading generals asked in a low voice.
"Empty city?"
Pound thought about it, but finally shook his head. said lightly: "It shouldn't be an empty city plan, the key to this battle in Hedong is Anyi, it is inevitable for a certain family to enter the city, but the empty city plan can't scare a certain family for an hour!" ”
Thirty-six counts. The empty city plan, this plan is at most frightening, but in today's situation, let alone the empty city plan, even if there are really thousands of troops in the city, he Pang De will kill it hard.
Anyi City is related to the success or failure of the current Hedong Campaign, even if it is a Longtan Tiger's Den, he will break through.
……
Anyi City, the eastern suburbs, on a hillside, Cheng Gongying is wearing a gray Confucian robe, standing on the mountain rocks, carrying his hands, black hair flying in the wind, his eyes are like rainbows, and he is this Anyi City.
"Don't blame a certain family, all this is just for the safety of the king, there is nothing to be done, only to do this!"
He muttered, a deep voice that only his own could hear.
If he was not desperate, he would not be willing to do this angry and resentful strategy.
"Prime Minister, now it's ready!" A soldier reported: "Three hundred dead soldiers are left in the city!" ”
"Withdraw!"
Cheng Gongying gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone else immediately went south, ready to join the king, and then break through to Hedong in one fell swoop!" ”
Anyi City will become a burden to Pang De, at least it can buy enough time for Han Sui to break through to Hedong.
"No!"
Hundreds of pro-soldiers, embracing Cheng Gongying, quickly left the range of Anyi City.
……
About an hour later, the scouts from all over the city returned to Pound's camp one after another, reporting to the main general Pound one by one.
"General, all over the city gates, there are no soldiers and horses without the slightest defense!"
"General, the city is quiet, and there is no ambush of a large number of soldiers and horses!"
"General, the palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion are empty, and there is no trace of the children of the Han family and the Prime Minister of the Jin Kingdom!"
“……”
When the news came, Pang De's brows couldn't help but condense into a Sichuan character, and he was always puzzled in his heart, could it be that Cheng Gongying really gave up Anyi City to him.
He couldn't believe it.
"Are the people of the city well?"
Pound thought for a moment and asked.
"All well!"
A scout stood up and said, "The subordinates specially inquired, and the people have not evacuated!" ”
"General, since they gave Anyi City to us for nothing, we should take it!" At this moment, the generals were in high spirits, and they entered the city one by one.
"Kangcheng Department, Lin Li Department, follow General Ben into the city. Pang Rou! ”
Pound thought about it carefully, and pondered for a long time, he knew that entering the city was inevitable, and it must not be spent outside the city, even if it was a little uneasy. I can only grit my teeth and enter the city.
Of course, he also has to be a little cautious.
"The last general!"
Pang Rou is the younger brother of Pang De and one of the main generals in the army.
"You lead your troops to garrison outside the city, and if there is any change, quickly enter the city to rescue!" Pound said in a deep voice.
"No!"
Pang Rou bowed down to receive the order.
A quarter of an hour later, Pound took the lead, leading an army of tens of thousands, in the light of the torches. A long dragon formation was formed, and on the left and right sides, there were shield soldiers, carefully entering the city through the south gate.
When they successfully entered the city, the situation in the city was as calm as before, and Pound breathed a sigh of relief, and he quickly occupied the crude palace of the Jin Kingdom as the command post of the Chinese army.
"Give the order to go down and set up camp. Also, send out patrol soldiers. See if there are any Jin soldiers left in the city? ”
"No!"
The army began to camp in the city, and the two troops sent their generals to accept the defense of the city gate and hunt down the enemy soldiers.
However, just when the day is about to dawn and before dawn, the night is like a tide, and the sky is the darkest. The shocking changes in the city are highlighted.
Woohoo!
In an instant, in all directions of the city, suddenly a fire burst out, and the fire was extremely fierce, in less than a quarter of an hour. It has spread throughout the city.
"What's going on?" Pound, who was standing in the Golden King's Palace, looked up and his face changed drastically.
"General, it's not good, the major gates in the city and since it is Tongyou Burning City, the city gates are closed by hundreds of people, covered by fire, we can't rush out!" The soldiers quickly came to report.
"General, the fire in the city is deliberately burned with tung oil, and it cannot be extinguished, and the more it burns, the more it burns, the more it burns!"
Many soldiers rushed in, some of them with dark faces, obviously not good for putting out the fire.
"Damn, Cheng Gongying, so ruthless Cheng Gongying!"
Pound gritted his teeth, he turned over and got on his horse, and shouted: "Immediately give an order to the soldiers and horses outside the city, let them enter the city to put out the fire, the whole army obeys the order, it must fight the fire, and save people, save as much as you can!" ”
This fire was enough for the whole city to be buried here.
At this moment, he understood everything, Cheng Gongying lured the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, let go of the city gate, and let him enter the city without warning.
Then a small number of soldiers and horses were sent to set fire everywhere, and tung oil was poured on the city gate, and the fire spread, even if there were no soldiers and horses to guard it, they could not rush out much.
The fire in the city will burn for a few days and nights, and his troops will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the most important thing is that the hundreds of thousands of people in the city will inevitably suffer countless casualties.
"Yes!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers moved quickly, but it was too late at this time.
"The fire is burning!"
"Help!"
"That one who kills a thousand knives is fireproof!"
"It's the murderous Liang Army, the Liang Army has just entered the city and is going to set fire to the city, let's kill it!"
“……”
Under the spread of the fire in the whole city, there was a great chaos in the city, and the people who were scurrying everywhere, as well as the cries of crying and shouting, the chaotic situation, the Liang army who had just entered the city carried the black pot and became the culprit.
"Cheng Gongying, I must cut you with a thousand knives!"
Pound looked at this scene, his eyes were split, the qi in his body burst out, and a long roar roared in the city of flames, and the sound waves were like a bell, constantly reverberating.
It's so ruthless!
This Cheng Gongying is too ruthless, too poisonous!
The two armies fought, and if this was an empty city, and Cheng Gongying burned his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in it, he had nothing to say, so he thought he was fooled and defeated.
However, in this battle, Cheng Gongying actually used hundreds of thousands of people in the city as bait, just to defeat him.
"General, get out of the city quickly!" A general looked at the ferocity of the fire and hurriedly said.
"Less nonsense, save people quickly!"
Pang De was unmoved, and shouted: "Pass a certain military order, the whole army enters the city, and you must extinguish the fire!" ”
Under the raging fire, it has been burning for two days, just like the former Luoyang City, Cheng Gongying's fire, and the ancient city of Anyi was also burned down.
Under this fire, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and there are no three or four of them, and under the shock, they are all corpses all over the field.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who entered the city first of Pound walked out alive and walked out of less than 3,000, and the soldiers and horses who entered the city later to save them also suffered more than 1,000 casualties. (To be continued......)
