Chapter 0041: Big Guy
Yalanyi is an important place near the river, it should have been stationed with heavy troops, but no, this dilapidated Chengling Pass, Zhang Yue was not interested at all, only left the remnants of Fang Yucheng to garrison, and brought the headquarters and Fang Yucheng into two capitals, a total of 1,800 soldiers, and then pounced on Baling.
With a guide and a general to open the way, there was no such urgency, and he walked unhurriedly all the way, not only to prevent accidents, but also to have physical strength to fight, and also to keep in sync with the seven main forces of the medicine heavy encounter department who came by water.
At the beginning of the day, the sky was gloomy and dark, and the distant scene was a little hazy, and the dark walls of Baling City were in view, and the city gate seemed to be about to close. Yang Shouzhen led the soldiers into the wasteland on the side of the road, lying in wait for a large area of black pressure, and two miles behind, more than 100 pedestrians and traders who were caught along the road were tied up in a bunch, so frightened that they squatted on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.
Fang Yucheng walked in front on horseback with his head upright, a team of personal soldiers on the left and right guarded on foot, and three hundred soldiers followed behind several carriages pulled out of Chengling Pass, slowly walking towards the east city gate.
When he was still two hundred steps away from the city gate, the city gate guards saw that it was their own men and horses, and ran over to urge: "Why is Commander Fang back again?" Hurry up, hurry up! It's time to close the gates! ”
"It's not time yet, are you? This reward you ......" Fang Yucheng took out the prepared string of copper coins and threw it over, the city gate guard skillfully caught it, thanked him with a smile, turned around and ran back to the city gate, and divided it among everyone.
"Don't think crookedly, don't mess up the formation, cross the city gate hole, listen to my orders and then do it!" Zhang Yue walked behind Fang Yucheng's horse, and then whispered a warning. Behind him were Xue Wenqian and Shi Chenghong, and they both walked on the right side of Fang Yucheng's soldiers, and the two sides walked side by side, so they didn't have to worry about them turning against the water.
The fleet of the medicine re-encounter was still a few miles away, and it would take a little time to land on the shore, but if the city gate was closed, it would be very troublesome to let them open the door again, and Zhang Yue didn't want to wait any longer.
Three hundred soldiers drove the carriage and marched in three horizontal columns, and the guards at the city gate were squeezed to the ground, and they scolded their mothers very unhappily, but they had just received the benefits of others, and they were also comrades, so they just scolded a few words.
"Yo...... Commander Fang! When did you recruit so many big soldiers, how about giving a few to your brothers? The commander stationed at the city gate came down from the city, and suddenly saw Fang Yucheng entering the city with a team of tall and strong soldiers, and he immediately couldn't walk.
"Stop! Call him over! Zhang Yue ordered in a low voice.
"It turned out to be Commander Pan! My brother doesn't have to say it, you come over and ask someone, just say it, brother, I'll release them immediately! Fang Yucheng had no choice but to do so, waving his hand to stop the soldiers who had completely entered the city, and his wave of his hand made all the soldiers' heartstrings tighten, and their eyes looked at Zhang Yue in front of him.
"That's good! Young and big, with a sturdy body...... "The damn Commander Pan didn't realize the danger at all, he walked over, took a fancy to Zhang Yue at a glance, and reached out to pat Zhang Yue's shoulder.
WhewW...... The soldiers in the back breathed heavily, their eyes showed fierce light, and some of them couldn't even hold their breath, and pressed their hands to the hilt of their swords, almost bursting out.
"Why are you so nervous? This official doesn't eat people's drops......" Commander Pan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line, and he was about to continue to point to the next one, when he suddenly felt a big hand like an iron tong grab his arm, and suddenly he involuntarily retreated back, and saw a slightly black face with a Chinese character, the corners of his mouth turned up, and Bai Sensen's teeth appeared in front of him.
"You're arrested! Got it? Zhang Yue said with a smile.
"Yo...... Little brother, don't talk nonsense, this official is in a good mood today......" Commander Pan suddenly felt a tingling pain in his waist, and looked down to see that the tip of the knife was against his waist, and he couldn't say anything below.
"Look! I didn't lie to you, did I? Zhang Yue smiled very strangely, he really had never encountered such a strange thing.
Commander Pan's mouth opened wide enough to stuff a dinosaur egg, he couldn't believe it was the truth, his face began to turn pale little by little, but he couldn't say a word.
"Hahaha......" The soldiers invariably breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
Fang Yucheng glanced at the stunned Commander Pan, shook his head helplessly, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Now! Whatever I say, you follow it, be louder, you know? Zhang Yue put his arms around Pan Commander's neck, and the short knife in his hand continued to press against his waist.
Commander Pan was almost frightened, nodded vigorously, and finally made sure that he had really become a prisoner, and turned his head to look at Fang Yucheng, his eyes full of anger.
"Herald! All the soldiers at the head of the city came down to gather, and those who did not arrive within a pillar of incense were beheaded and displayed to the public! Zhang Yue said with a smile.
Commander Pan was very cooperative, opened his big mouth and began to shout, but his voice was so hoarse that he almost couldn't shout, so he had to repeat it twice.
The soldiers of the defenders at the head of the city all felt very strange, they had just changed their guards, why did they have to run down again, but their companions obviously couldn't answer, and everyone was puzzled, but the commander gave an order, and they had to obey.
"If you don't obey the military order, you will be ordered to hand over all your weapons, be punished from the city for an hour, and then return to the city wall to garrison!" Zhang Yue really couldn't think of what excuse to use to transfer the defenders for a while.
The defenders and soldiers under the city wall were also shocked, and looked at Fang Yucheng, who was standing in line next to the carriage, their eyes full of doubts. At this time, the other party moved, Xue Wenqian and Shi Chenghong each brought a soldier to surround it, and the defending soldiers had to put down their weapons and go out of the city in line.
This frightened Yang Shouzhen, who was waiting outside the city, but there was no movement in the city gate for a long time, and he was about to send someone to visit, when he saw torches and lanterns lit up at the head of the city, as well as his own military flag.
"All stand up! Queue up into the city! Yang Shouzhen shouted the order, and the soldiers had already had a sore back, and they all stood up when they heard the order. The figures swayed, the spears were like a forest, and the wasteland seemed to grow a weed in an instant.
As soon as the defenders came out of the city, they saw this scene, and they were so shocked that they didn't know who shouted.
Yang Shouzhen calmly led his troops into the city, and assigned his troops to Xue Wenqian and Shi Chenghong, and the second commander quickly took over the east city gate and closed the city gate. The remaining one or three commanders lined up inside the city gate and waited for the counterattack of the Chu army.
This is the opinion put forward by Han Sheng after entering the city, although he was a little conservative, but the main force of the party had not arrived, and rashly attacked the state government and other city gates, which would cause senseless sacrifices, so Zhang Yue also agreed, and instead pulled Han Sheng to the top of the city, looking for where Yueyang Tower was.
"The West City Gate Tower is Yueyang Tower!" Han Sheng said with a smile, in fact, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, but I hope Uncle Pan won't scare away.
"Tomorrow we can take a look at Yueyang Tower, and then go boating on Dongting Lake......" Zhang Yue had a sweet dream, and before he finished speaking, he listened to the sound of drums in the city, shouting and killing, and the torches were lit up like stars, gradually stretching into a long formation, moving towards the east city gate.
"Uncle Pan is really unwilling, so he can't run away from being trapped here!" Han Sheng stroked his palms and laughed, this was the first military strategy suggestion he took the initiative since he followed Zhang Yue, fortunately he was not mistaken, otherwise he would have lost his face.
"There is no movement by the riverside, the medicine has not yet arrived, and the eight commanders of more than 4,000 people are enough for us to drink a pot......" Zhang Yue smiled bitterly, turned around and walked down the city, and went to prepare for the battle.
