Chapter Twenty-Eight: Promoting the End of the World (I)
In Pingzhou City, Xihe County, the battle finally started again.
This time, almost without warning, Zhang Yang seemed to be crazy, regardless of the opposition of the generals, and also turned a blind eye to the extremely low morale, and brazenly launched an attack on Pingzhou City again.
Zhang Yang was indeed a little crazy at this moment, he had already received a battle report from Jinyang and even from Shangdang, just when he was in a stalemate with Lu Bu here, his two backyards actually caught fire at the same time, and it was not an ordinary fire.
Jinyang City has been besieged for a long time, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are extremely uneasy, and the reinforcements that have passed around one after another are more than three or five hundred, and less than one or two hundred, but they are all in the hands of Lu Bujun, which has caused the entire Taiyuan County to be panicked, at this time, Yang Chou naturally woke up to the other party, I am afraid that the other party is in the encirclement to send reinforcements, but he does not have enough troops under his hands, and he does not dare to venture out of the city to take the initiative to attack, and for a while it is so deadlocked, and for Zhang Yang, the more critical thing is that The thousands of light cavalry reinforcements he sent led by his nephew Zhang Zhen had no news so far, not only did Jinyang not receive any news of their rescue, but he also did not have any news of their traces here, as if they had suddenly disappeared from this world, which made Zhang Yang have to have a bad premonition, and at the same time prepare for the worst; The situation in Shangdang County is even worse, from the east of the valley, almost half of them are submerged under the iron hooves of nearly 20,000 troops led by Gao Shun, the general under the command of Lu Bu, Gao Shun's army is divided into four, in addition to the main ones are in the eldest son city, it is also divided into three road armies, the upper road to attack Niexian, the middle road to attack Tunliu, and the lower road to attack Gaodu, although each road army is only three thousand military horses, but it is the most elite of Lu Bu's army, after Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's training, the three leaders of the Third Route Army are also the three veterans who followed Lu Bu very early in the Lu Bu and Zhou army, Experienced and veteran, it is natural to take down the three cities that did not have time to arrange many defenses, and then form four lines, which has the potential to sweep the party in one fell swoop. For now, though. The road has been broken all the way, but after all, an effective occupation has not yet been reached, but it is only a matter of time before it is foreseeable.
Now it is not only the bad situation of the two backyards that bothers Zhang Yang, but also the doubts about these "extra" soldiers and horses, he can't imagine where Lu Bu suddenly found these extra tens of thousands of troops, where did he come from, so many troops, descended from the sky, jumped out of the ground. Or is it like the so-called "great sage and good teacher" Zhang Jiao, who sprinkled beans into soldiers and conjured them up by himself?
But no matter how he came out, the current Zhang Yang was full of anger, and this anger also made his head even more paranoid, he felt that this qiē was because he was blocked from this small Pingzhou City, as long as he broke through Pingzhou City. If Lu Bu is caught, then this qiē can be solved.
This battle, both for the besieging side and the defending side, was extremely tragic.
It was a great cold now, or in the coldest moment, the ice wall on the city wall of Pingzhou still existed, but at this time, Zhang Yangjun seemed to have completely ignored this thing that had caused them great trouble before and now, and was under the whipping of strict military orders. All they know is that they keep rushing forward and up. Just stand at the head of the city and kill the defenders of the city. Capture the towers to be able to stop.
But the defenders could not sit still, and the arrows were flying, the arrows were raining down, the stones were tumbling, and the artillery carriages were so fierce that they could hardly stop for a moment.
The city is still in charge of Lu Bu himself, and his Fang Tian painting halberd has been stained with too much blood of Zhang Yangjun, and this time will naturally be no exception, but this time even he is crazy and frightened by Zhang Yang at this moment, he completely disregards the consumption of personnel, and it seems that he is planning to use a large number of lives in exchange for breaking the city.
The two sides launched what can be said to be the most tragic battle since the siege of Zhang Yang, at such a moment, the existence of the ice wall seems to be irrelevant, and because of Lu Bu's unintentional ignorance, these defenders on the head of Pingzhou City seem to have lost their original sharpness in the calm of the day, and suddenly faced the bravery of Zhang Yang's army again, and they were unable to parry it for a while, and there were signs of loss on the left and right sides of the city wall.
Although Lu Bu is strong, he is a person after all, and there is only one person's strength, and he can't take care of the two places at all, he is still the first to take care of the gap, which is on the left side of the city tower, and the Zhang Yang army that came up was naturally driven down by the Pingzhou defenders who rekindled their morale under his leadership, but the situation on the right at this time is not optimistic, the Pingzhou defenders are retreating one after another, and the number of enemy troops who climb the city tower here is increasing, and the more this is the case, the more the defenders panic, Under the panic, it is easier to make mistakes in the hurry, and the defeat will be faster, and this side will soon almost become the world of Zhang Yangjun, and they will quickly aim at the left side, and it seems that they are going to flank Lu Bu and the others with the soldiers below who are still trying to rush upward.
Looking at the menacing enemy army over there, the defenders who followed Lu Bu couldn't help but be a little busy.
Of course, Lu Bu will not put himself in danger, and he is not sure that he can block the attack of Zhang Yang's army with those forces in Pingzhou City, in addition to those two strange soldiers, in Pingzhou itself, he has also arranged a back hand, but now is not the time to show it.
He is here in Pingzhou City, but the main thing is to drag out time, the last time the military information that Zhang Yang's backyard caught fire came over, Lu Bu wanted to see what choice he would make, but Zhang Yang only sent back 10,000 cavalry, which was also expected by Lu Bu, it seems that he has not completely given up, but the reduction of troops, especially the extremely mobile cavalry was sent away, so that Zhang Yang is still a little stretched, not in the siege strategy of Ping Zhou, but in guarding against Lu Bu, guarding against his deceit and his backhand.
Especially this time, Zhang Yang, who deeply felt that he was being played, became more and more wary of Lu Bu, and even Lu Bu sneezed in front of him, maybe he would think that Lu Bu was playing some trick again.
But although Zhang Yang, who launched the madness, Lu Bu is not afraid, he will also have scruples, just like now, Zhang Yang, who let the corpses be strewn all over the field, just to command a large army to attack the city for a moment to make Lu Bu feel a little unbearable.
He thought about it, and after all, he still felt that there was no time, so he just said to Wei Xu and the others over there: "What are you still doing over there, do you want to let this Zhang Yangjun run rampant on my city tower?" ”
Wei Xu and the others were shocked, they didn't dare to be contemptuous, knowing that there would not be much problem with Lu Bu on the left, so they hurriedly led the men and horses to rush to the right, but they happened to meet Zhang Yangjun who was about to pounce on the left, after all, they also recognized that the enemy's main general Lu Bu was on the left, if they could capture or kill him, then this battle would not have to be fought, but halfway to kill a trip to bite the gold, in the face of Wei Xu's group of roadblockers, the two sides quickly entered the white-hot battle.
Although Wei Xu is a little useless in Lu Bu's eyes, it depends on whether he compares those people, not to mention Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, even Cao Xing is naturally much better than Wei Xu in all aspects, the problem is that Wei Xu has followed Lu Bu to the present, not only because of his appearance and flattery, he is also a little real, at this moment, I feel that if he doesn't take out his life to fight, it will not be good for Lu Bu or himself, where will he keep it, a long halberd is wide open and closed, it is all a killing trick.
Perhaps under the influence of Lu Bu, Wei Xu also used a halberd, but his halberd naturally cannot be compared with Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd, only twenty catties, and the tip of the halberd is only one fork, but combined with his martial arts, the power is not small, at this time, under his leadership, he actually stopped the offensive of Zhang Yangjun, which couldn't help but re-boost the morale of the defenders, Wei Xu's infectious voice also said in a timely manner: "Soldiers, Wen Hou and I are bloody, why not be afraid of the enemy, the enemy is crazy, we are even more crazy than them, If the city is broken, it is better to die! ”
"If the city is broken, it is better to die!"
"Kill, ......" Wei Xu clenched his halberd and charged forward, and the soldiers followed closely behind, the waves were turbulent and irreversible.
Here, Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction when he looked at this scene, and at the same time began to think about his positioning of Wei Xu; On the other side, several generals next to Zhang Yang saw this and hurriedly persuaded for the first time: "Envoy (general), it's time to stop, now the backyard is on fire, and now the news has not yet spread, the soldiers don't know yet, but they can only hide it for a while, these must be Lu Bu's plans over there, how can he let us keep blocking the news, there will definitely be rumors, and then the situation will be even worse, I can't say that the army will even mutiny, if the situation is allowed to deteriorate, it is better to withdraw cautiously at this time, When the time comes, the envoy will explain again, the army's heart will be stable, and the major events in the rear will be laid first, as for this Lu Bu, without this time, there will be a chance next time, as long as you can develop with peace of mind, what is Lu Bu afraid of when his strength grows? ”
"Yes, yes......" The generals echoed in harmony, and these words spoke their hearts.
Zhang Yang whispered, but he didn't know whether to ask them or ask himself: "If you miss this opportunity, will there be a next time?" Oh, I don't even know if this time is an opportunity, or a trap that Lu Fengxian dug for a certain person, which is more appropriate. ”
The generals were silent, in fact, at this point, if they still can't figure it out, then it's really a matter of IQ, but they don't have anything to say, although they were Zhang Yang advocated going on the expedition at the beginning, but they didn't really stop it as a subordinate, and they can't say that they don't have any responsibility at all, what they can do now is to try to make up for it and redeem it.
Zhang Yang's eyes were always indifferent, but it was not difficult for those who observed carefully to find that there was a deep sadness in the corner of his eyes at this time, "Mingjin, withdraw the troops." ”
In another cheer from the defenders of Pingzhou, Zhang Yang's army wolf retreated, but this time it seemed to be a little different, and the desolate snow seemed to indicate something. (To be continued.) )
