Chapter Forty-Seven: The Righteous Zeng Kaiqi
The righteous soldier Zeng Kaiqi's summer sun shone on the head of Chongxian County, and also shone on the face of the county lieutenant, and the soldiers were all shocked by the scene in front of them, and before they could react, dozens of Zeng Kaiqi's personal soldiers had already surrounded and opened the city gate.
The downstairs were also surprised by the scene in front of them, but they were at a loss; "General, enter the city quickly, I am a city gate guard under Guan Junhou before; I have already controlled the county lieutenant of this county, please enter the city quickly to quell the chaos" Zeng Kaiqi hurriedly shouted at Jufu on the city tower, but Jufu did not make any response; He could have led his army into the city, but he had to hesitate again and again because he was tasked with luring the enemy, after all, there were only a thousand people, and he could not afford any accidents.
"Haha, Zeng Kaiqi, you saw it, the Han army you have been looking forward to for a long time does not trust you at all" The county lieutenant saw that the Han army had no intention of entering the city at all, and began to intensify Zeng Kaiqi.
"The county lieutenant cares, I'm ready"
"The soldiers of the Han army under the city, I know that you still don't trust me for the time being, this is the county lieutenant of Chongxian County, and I use his head to open the way for the army; The lieutenants of Kexian are their own masters, thank you for your kindness in the past, and now I have to borrow your head to use"; Blood splattered when the knife fell, and a human head fell into the city. Seeing this, the county lieutenant's personal guards rushed towards Zeng Kaiqi desperately, and the city was suddenly in chaos.
"Enter the city" was also at this time Qin Jie shouted, and the soldiers of the Han army immediately rushed towards the city gate.
Zeng Kaiqi saw that the Han army under the city began to enter the city, and he also drew his sword and began to kill the guards left by the county lieutenant; Thanks to Zeng Kaiqi's assistance, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Han army successfully controlled the entire city gate and began to launch an offensive against the remaining gates.
"General, Zeng Cheng, the former guard of the city gate of the public security, bow down" Zeng Kaiqi saluted the sentence that came to the city.
"In the next sentence of support, I Shu Han can have a hero like General Zeng, it is really the blessing of Shu Han" sentence Fu felt Zeng Cheng's loyalty and was full of emotion.
"This is the duty of the last general, and he cannot be called a hero"
"General Zeng is modest, I will introduce you to you, this is Qin Jie, the commander of my army" Seeing Qin Jie walking towards this side, Ju Fu also hurriedly introduced.
"The sin general will meet General Qin" Hearing Jufu's introduction, Zeng Cheng immediately saluted Qin Jie with his fists.
"The general is Zeng Cheng's word Kaiqi, that is, he opened the city gate for our army, and he was also a soldier of our Han army before, and he had no choice but to surrender to the Wu army with Fu Shiren when Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou" Ju Fu pointed to Zeng Chengchao and introduced it to Qin Jie.
"There is no guilt, and the guilty is the traitorous general Fu Shiren, the general can surrender to our army at this time, but he is a meritorious general; If you don't give up, join our army, with a Wuling person like you as a guide, our army will be able to move freely in Wuling County" Qin Jie is also a person with a heart, and he did not dislike him, but accepted him as a general in the army.
"The last general is willing to join"
"Our army's next plan is to capture Jizhong County, what strategy do you have" Qin Jie saw him readily agree, and also asked.
"Why does General Qin need to capture Jizhong County, the county lieutenant of Huzhong City was my friend in the public security back then, they are all righteous and angry, if I go to Huzhong to explain the form to him at this time, I think he will definitely submit to the general" Zeng Cheng was immediately interested when he heard Huzhong.
"This plan is about your life, if he doesn't agree, he probably won't let you back, so let's find another plan" Qin Jie was first happy when he heard Zeng Cheng's plan, and then worried.
"General, if I can exchange my life for the countless soldiers who have been killed and injured because of the siege, it is worth it; Please also ask the general to order" Zeng Cheng did not hesitate, but chose to go to the hug alone.
Qin Jie did not directly agree to Zeng Cheng's request, but threw a look at Ju Fu, "General, the last general thinks that Brother Zeng's plan can be successful, Brother Zeng has already said that he and the county lieutenant in the middle of the hug are righteous and angry, and he will never harm Brother Zeng" Ju Fu saw Qin Jie signaling to himself, and looked at Zeng Cheng again, with a look of expectation and righteousness; made him have to imagine how he would feel if he was in Zeng Cheng's position at this time.
"Thank you for the general's success, the last general will definitely live up to his mission" Zeng Cheng saw that the sentence was spoken, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Brother Zeng, take care, we will hold a banquet in the city for Brother Zeng's return"
After Zeng Cheng left, Jufu and Qin Jie also lamented that Shu Han won the hearts of the people so much, and if the people's hearts can be followed, the hegemony can be achieved.
the fourth day of June in the first year of Zhangwu; Under the castle
The banner of the Han army was planted in the entire battlefield, at this time there must be at least 40,000 soldiers of the Han army standing under the city of Yidao, and the yellow flag was flying in the middle of the formation, obviously the Shu Han Emperor Liu Bei supervised the formation in the army; At the front of the array are more than 10,000 flying fronts dressed in white clothes and white armor and holding a banner with the word 'righteousness'. The city tower is also planted with the banners of Wu, Zhou, Ling, Sun, Pan, and Zhu, and under the banners are naturally countless Wu soldiers;
A breeze blew, and all the flags fluttered in the wind; Zhang Fei did not shout a word with Wu Jun "Catapult preparation"
Suddenly, hundreds of catapults were controlled by the soldiers and began to fill the stones, the war drums sounded, and the stones that covered the sky and the earth fell straight towards the city tower of Yidao, and the collision between the stones made the city wall suddenly covered with bruises, and the wails of the soldiers made the defending generals at a loss, "Quickly hide under the female wall, hide under the female wall" The defending generals continued to direct the actions of the soldiers.
The arrow stacks on the city tower are also fragile under the stones that cover the sky, and a corner under the female wall: "The Han army will smash down like this, will our city walls be cut?" A soldier who looked to be only ten ** years old asked the chief next to him;
"Our Yidao City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Han army is given a whole day to smash it, it is impossible to cut our city wall," said the chief, Yidao City is also very confident.
"Then if the Han army starts to attack the city, can we resist it, I saw the ferocity of the Han army when I was in Lan Yan that day, especially the soldiers in white clothes and white armor, it was a completely fatal charge."
"This is what you don't understand, if the Han army attacks the city, our army will completely gain the upper hand in defending the city, and I have tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, and I can let Yidao change hands"
"I'll follow you later, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
Nearly half an hour of catapults were mighty, and the city tower was completely in a mess, the arrow stacks on the city tower were cut off seven-tenths, and the city wall was smashed to the ground; At the same moment when the catapult stopped, the Han army formed a defensive army formation of shields, straight towards the city wall, and the arrows of the Wu army did not have a significant effect on them, and after a while these army formations approached the moat, and bags of sand or stones began to be thrown out under the shields, and the soldiers on the city tower understood their intention to fill the moat at first sight, even if they were in a hurry at the moment, but they could only watch the Han army fill the moat irrigated by the river water drawn from the Yangtze River; The soldiers of the Han army returned to work non-stop, but the moat was still not filled in for nearly two hours.
"Big brother, this moat, we will need at least two hours to completely fill it, why don't we go back to the camp to rest first" Zhang Fei knew that his eldest brother was over sixty years old, and began to persuade.
"Third brother, don't worry, my soldiers are desperately working ahead, how can I retreat to the camp to rest" Liu Bei was full of spirit in the face of Zhang Fei's persuasion at this time, so that everyone would know that they would not withdraw from this array.
