Chapter 12 Breaking Taicang
"Huzi is right, the Taicang city wall is strong, and it is indeed impossible to attack it head-on." Zhou Chen paused, his face was solemn, "The leaders listen to the order!" ”
"In!"
"Skinny monkey! I order you to bring fifty strong men into Taicang before sunset, and at night you only hear the shouts of killing outside the city, and immediately open the city gate with us inside and outside! Zhou Chen's face was serious, which was very different from his usual expression when he laughed. This is the first time he has commanded hundreds of people to fight, and the target is a county town, this battle will be won, and there is no room for loss!
"Yes!" The thin monkey also knew that time was pressing, and after hearing the order, he led his troops.
"Zhang Hu! I ordered you to take a hundred soldiers to intercept the passages in Taicang County, and if there are reinforcements, try to intercept them! I guess there should be some soldiers and horses searching the mountains outside the city, and your goal is to stop these people! Within two hours, it is bound to block the reinforcements, and there is no confidence! "Zhou Chen is also thoughtful, Zhang Hu is relatively calm, and he is indeed suitable for leading troops alone.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Zhang Hu is full of confidence. He knew that these soldiers under his command were not the bandits who couldn't eat enough before, after these days of training, coupled with the daily white rice and fish meat in the cottage, the combat power of these soldiers has more than doubled, and then put on the snatched leather armor and broadsword, the force value will immediately overturn, and the combat effectiveness is no longer comparable to those officers and soldiers who fish and dry nets every day. What's more, the task is just to block reinforcements, a hundred people, enough!
"Good!" Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Zhou Chen was also aroused, "In addition to the two hundred recruits who stayed in the cottage, I personally led the remaining three hundred people, and I must take the county seat as quickly as possible!" Kill Taicang and raise the prestige of our army! ”
The distance between Taicang County and Strange Stone Ridge is not far, and it can even be said to be very close, and it can be reached in half an hour.
Night slowly fell, Thin Monkey and Zhang Hu were already in place, and Zhou Chen was ready to go.
"Brothers! This siege will definitely make my Yellow Turban prestige! Don't harass the people after entering the city, how much money do the people have? We've got to be disciplined! Steal a large household, and get more gold and silver than robbing the people of the city! Everyone must remember that when the time comes, we must have a good relationship with the people, and it will be much more convenient when we go back next time! Zhou Chen explained the matter in advance, after all, these Yellow Turban soldiers who came to vote were uneven, and this was also a preventive shot for these people.
"Boss, don't talk so much, since we did it with you, we will fight wherever you say! Besides, we used to be from farmers' families, how could we bully our fellow villagers? "Erzi is one of the first few soldiers to follow Zhou Chen, and he has the ability to be in charge of people, Zhou Chen just didn't have any manpower, so he immediately caught the strong man and became a small leader.
"Good!" Zhou Chen also knew that these soldiers were not evil people, so he just warned him, "I won't say much nonsense, kill in Taicang!" Come with me! ”
Half an hour later, Zhou Chen came to the gate of Taicang City, and his heart moved.
"Use the card character - Lin Chong!"
The blue light flashed, and a person held a gun in his right hand and knelt on one knee on the ground, "The last general, Lin Chong, has seen the lord!" ”
"Good!" Seeing Lin Chong and Zhou Chen overjoyed, it has been a few days, and there are no generals under him, and Lin Chong will definitely play a huge role in attacking the city this time. Moreover, the system has turned on the blessing function, and there is no shortage of card points.
The people around saw that a person suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Chen, and although they were surprised, they didn't have a big reaction. After all, in their opinion, their boss obviously learned from Zhang Xianshi (Zhang Jiao), and it is not a simple matter to become a person?
"Lin Chong, are you sure to climb the city wall in front of you?" Zhou Chen pointed to the Taicang city wall not far away and asked.
The city wall of Taicang County is considered to be high in the county, about six meters. It is said that it was because he was frightened by the yellow scarf before, and the county order made people higher.
Lin Chong looked at it roughly, took out his hand and gestured, and then said, "Lord, I can go up this city wall!" ”
Zhou Chen was overjoyed. Although the city wall of Taicang County is high, it is a little uneven, and the master can go up without relying on the rope, obviously, Lin Chong is the master!
"Great!" Zhou Chen clapped his hands, "Lin Chong listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"Order you to rush to the city wall first, and when you arrive, lower the rope and assist in the siege!" After a pause, Zhou Chen continued, "The thin monkey has already laid an ambush at the city gate, and I will lead two hundred people to storm the gate later, and your task is to attract the attention of the soldiers on the city wall, so that we can open the city gate." ”
"The last general commands!"
As soon as he came into contact with Lin Chong, Zhou Chen felt the difference between him and Liu Tang. Lin Chong is still a soldier at heart, and his situation style is like that of a general. In contrast, Liu Tang has a little more Jianghu spirit, and it is indeed not very good to lead the army to fight.
Soon, Lin Chong climbed the city wall. After lowering the rope, the officers and soldiers of the city were attracted. The shouts of murder paused.
"Up!" Time was precious, and Zhou Chen immediately rushed towards the city gate with the remaining main force.
Inside the city.
The thin monkey listened to Zhou Chen's orders and kept lying in ambush not far from the city gate. As soon as he heard the shouts of killing, he immediately rushed to the city gate with fifty people and his fellows.
How could the dozen or so officers and soldiers guarding the city gate be the more than 50 elite opponents under the thin monkey? As soon as they fought, they lost and retreated, and it didn't take long for them to die.
"Open the door and greet the big brother!"
As soon as Zhou Chen arrived with his troops, the city gate was opened. Two hundred soldiers poured into Taicang County in one fell swoop and slaughtered the stubborn officers and soldiers on the city wall.
"Surrender and don't kill, and solve it on the spot if you resist stubbornly!" After leaving such a sentence, Zhou Chen led a large army straight to the Taicang County Commander's Mansion. Time was pressing, and it would not be long before news would be heard from outside, and as soon as reinforcements arrived, the looting would not be completed, and the battle must be resolved within two hours.
The garrison in Taicang County is not sufficient, a large number of soldiers are still searching for Yellow Turban stragglers outside, and there are only about 300 people in the city, and Zhou Chen is completely unhindered by the group.
Soon, the group rushed into the county mansion. The county order has already run away, which is expected by Zhou Chen, after all, as an official, the ability to escape must be leveraged, and Zhou Chen did not give the order to chase, the person ran away, and the money was there.
"Move quickly, take the gold and silver, let the people help if you can't take it, recruit the young and strong on the spot, as long as you go up the mountain with us, you will immediately send a gold and silver as a settlement fee, as long as you want to come, you can come." Anyway, all this money was robbed, and Zhou Chen didn't feel distressed after spending it, and it was even more difficult to expand his strength.
Hundreds of people acted quite quickly, obviously they were all proficient, and the business was quite proficient, and when they searched for gold and silver, they didn't even need to ask others, and directly used the experience of the command to find the hiding place of gold and silver, and Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and praised it in his heart: "Confucius said, there must be my teacher in the threesome, and it is really a famous saying, this little yellow turban soldier is so skilled in finding things, no wonder those families are so afraid of yellow scarves." ”
