Chapter Seventy-Seven: Inner City Raiders
At the end of May in the south, the sun is already blazing, and just before noon, the whole sky is already illuminated by the sun, and it is already impossible to look up! The humid humidity in the air is high due to the hot and humid climate in the south, and the absence of wind today makes it feel like you are in a steamer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info In this kind of weather, he still has to wear armor, Wu Yi just walked around casually, and he experienced the feeling of hairy crabs after they entered the pot.
If you follow Wu Yi's idea, just wear a Confucian shirt, but the problem is that Wu Yi is a lieutenant colonel, and his military appearance and every move are concerned by all the sergeants. What's more, Zhu Jun couldn't wait to convene a military council today, obviously to discuss the action against the inner city of Wancheng. Cold arrows are the most lethal in the battle array, if there is no armor to protect you, if you are hit by cold arrows when directing a battle, with the medical level of this era, it will become a big problem.
Therefore, heavy armor must be worn, and the armor cannot be worn close to the body, and a thin cotton coat must be worn inside the armor. Because the inner lining of the armor itself is usually negligible, wearing a thicker inside can not only avoid the edges and corners of the armor from scratching the skin, but also reduce the possibility of internal injuries during a collision.
The question then arises, should I put on armor and a thin layer of cotton clothing at the risk of heat stroke, or should I risk injury or even death without armor? This is really a question worth considering, but for Wu Yi, there is not much choice, so he can only come to Zhu Jun's Chinese army tent to participate in today's military assembly on a hot day with a complete set of armor.
"Really, I just took the outer city yesterday, but today I can't wait to attack the inner city? General Zhu Jun really can't be idle for a moment~" Wu Yi tugged at the neckline of his armor, letting the hot air inside slightly disperse.
Xu Shu, who was standing behind Wu Yi with his eyes closed and recuperating, smiled when he heard this: "Actually, I originally thought that General Zhu Jun would attack the inner city in one go yesterday, but with General Zhu Jun's temper, it was already beyond my expectations that he could endure until today." ā
Wu Yi snorted lightly: "Didn't he Zhu Jun have been waiting for months before this?" And if Sun Wentai and I hadn't taken the initiative to ask for battle, he wouldn't have known how long it would be delayed before he would have made up his mind to attack the city. Now that the outer city has been captured, this guy has changed his appearance, as if the turtles in the urn in the city will put on their wings and fly. ā
After all, General Zhu Jun still has the intention of competing with General Huangfu in his heart, and now General Huangfu has broken through the Yuzhou Bocai Army and is making every effort to encircle and suppress those remnants of the Yellow Turbans. And Zhang Mancheng's Yellow Turban Army is almost all gathered in Wancheng City, as long as these Yellow Turban Army in the city are exterminated, maybe General Zhu Jun can still solve the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the jurisdiction before General Huangfu. Party. ā
Xu Shu's conjecture is completely logical, Zhu Jun felt that the odds of victory were not very good, so he fought steadily, and now that he has grasped the initiative, he even hopes to solve the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the jurisdiction before Huangfu Song. Party, Zhu Jun naturally has to try his best.
Wu Yi and Xu Shu were chatting in a whisper, and Zhu Jun had already walked in from outside with a group of generals: "Ziyuan has already come, how was the rest yesterday?" ā
"Thank you General for your concern, we all rested well last night."
"That's good, we still have a big battle to fight today, but don't miss a good opportunity to establish meritorious deeds just because we drank a few more glasses of turbid wine yesterday." Zhu Jun knelt on the throne and waved his big hand to signal everyone to sit.
"General, are you going to attack the inner city? Sun is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army to take the lead! "The injuries on Sun Jian's shoulders and arms have been bandaged last night, and with Sun Jian's recovery power, he can't feel much pain in the wound overnight, so at this moment, when he heard that Zhu Jun was going to fight, he immediately jumped out again and shouted that he wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Yesterday, it was thanks to Sun Jian that he captured the north gate of Wancheng, and the defense of the outer city of Wancheng, which had plagued him for several months, was broken once, which made Zhu Jun can't help but look at Sun Jian differently, and he is a little more tolerant of his Zhang Yang's character. Seeing Sun Jian being the first to stand up at this moment, Zhu Jun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Sun Wentai fought bravely, and the general was naturally going to be reused." It's just that you suffered several wounds during the siege yesterday, but I don't know how you recovered? ā
Sun Jian pursed his lips indifferently: "It's just some flesh wounds, and a few glasses of wine given by the general last night have already healed in one night." ā
"Great! There will be Jiangdong Tigers to help, why worry about breaking Zhang Mancheng's rabble! Hearing that Sun Jian's injuries were not serious, Zhu Jun was immediately overjoyed. Yesterday, Sun Jian won the north city wall of Wancheng in a battle, and his brave and heroic posture in the battle formation made Zhu Jun regard it as a sharp weapon for thieves. Originally, Zhu Jun was still a little worried that Sun Jian might have to miss today's siege battle because of yesterday's injury, but since Sun Jian's injury was not a big problem, Zhu Jun was a little more sure about capturing the inner city of Wancheng.
But just as Zhu Jun was about to assign the siege task, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door, and the guard sergeant outside the door stopped the owner of the footsteps outside, and after a low conversation with the guard sergeant guarding the big tent, a guard sergeant walked into the tent and gave Zhu Jun a salute and reported: "General, someone outside asked to see, and he said that there was something important to report to the general in person." ā
"Let him in." Zhu Jun was a little curious, who would come to see him at this time.
"Captain Chen Jing, meet the general."
"Chen Jing? Ben will remember that yesterday you were arranged to lead the scouts to keep an eye on the Yellow Turban rebels in the inner city, right? At this time, isn't there something unusual about those guys in the inner city? ā
Chen Jing shook his head: "Until the subordinates came down to find the general, there was no change in the inner city. ā
"Then why don't you keep an eye on the inner city and run to Ben to find Ben?"
"General Hui, just now there is a person in the inner city who claims to be the henchman of Han Zhong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, saying that Han Zhong intends to abandon the darkness and help the general take the inner city in one fell swoop!"
"Han Zhong? Who is this? Zhu Jun only knew that the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in the city was Zhang Mancheng, but as for a commander like Han Zhong, he didn't know about it.
"What! Han Zhong's bastard actually wants to betray Zhang Mancheng? What are you kidding, who doesn't know that this guy Han Zhong is the commander of the Yellow Turban Army appointed by Zhang Mancheng personally! Han Zhong received such a favor, how could he easily betray Zhang Mancheng? There must be deception in this, and the general must not listen to those thieves! ā
Chu Gong was originally the county guard of Nanyang, and Han Zhong was a small lieutenant under his command who was not reused. That is, because Han Zhong secretly took refuge in the Yellow Turban Army, and led more than 1,000 subordinates to open the city gate to welcome Zhang Mancheng into the city when Zhang Mancheng attacked Wancheng. The fall of Wancheng also made Chu Gong lose the throne of his county guard, so Chu Gong had long hated Han Zhong, regardless of whether Han Zhong really wanted to surrender or not, Chu Gong planned to destroy it and not give Han Zhong the slightest chance to survive.
