The Troubled Times Begin Chapter 119 Breaking the City Quickly
"Why is the lord sighing?" Hearing the regret in Lu An's words, Guo Jia tilted his head and asked.
"Youping is loyal and brave, not much worse than Xingba, and the more desperate the situation, the more drought and fierce, can be called a peerless warrior, but its ability to command the army is slightly weak, otherwise it can lead an army alone!" Lu An said sullenly. Zhou Tai's courage is undoubted, but his ability to command the army is relatively average, he can be a fighting general or a deputy general, but it is too reluctant to be the main general, which is why Lu An always releases Gan Ning, but Zhou Tai always lets him stay by his side.
"The lord is too demanding in saying this!" Guo Jia chuckled lightly and said: "General Zhou is extremely brave, and he takes the lead in attacking the city, which is enough to take charge alone, as for the ability to command the army, although it is a little mediocre compared to his bravery, his bravery is enough to make up for this, as long as General Zhou is equipped with a military advisor who is proficient in military strategy, it is enough to lead the army!" ”
"That's right, I'm nitpicking!" Lu An bowed slightly. It may be true that he pursues perfection too much, with Zhou Tai's ability, charging into battle is also invincible, if he is equipped with a better military advisor, then he will not necessarily be defeated when he encounters those first-class generals who are proficient in military strategy, so why bother with it.
"General Zhou has steadily occupied the city, this battle is almost settled, it has been less than two hours before and after, I have to say, this time to capture the city is our fastest one!" Guo Jia looked in the direction of the city wall, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"In this battle, Youping should be the first to take the lead!" Lu An also looked over and chuckled. At this time, Zhou Tai firmly occupied a corner of the city, and was slashing the enemy troops on the side with great might, and stubbornly defended a corner for the soldiers who climbed the city below, so that they could climb up safely. And as more and more soldiers climbed up, the defenders on the city wall have been defeated and retreated, if Wang Lang has no hole cards, the overall situation is indeed decided.
"Lord, our soldiers can't hold it anymore, let's retreat first!" The defenders in the city naturally noticed this, and Gong Cao Yu hurriedly persuaded him.
"This, how is this possible, my Shanyin City is about to be unable to hold on in less than two hours!" Wang Lang clenched his teeth, his face was full of shame and indignation, defeat is not terrible, he is a literati, and the army is in a weak position, and there is really no good chance of winning against famous generals such as Shang Lu'an, who have a great reputation in the world, but if this time is shortened to two hours, it will be a little unacceptable, and it will even directly become the laughing stock of others, and the first thought that others may think of when they see him is that he once created the shortest record for defending the city, and he was captured within two hours in a head-to-head duel. This is undoubtedly a humiliation for Wang Lang, who has always cherished his reputation.
Thinking of this, Wang Lang was shocked, if this was the case, it would be worse than death, and he would definitely not be able to accept such a result, so he ignored Yu Xuan's advice, but drew his long sword, walked to the edge of the city wall, and roared and shouted: "Soldiers, this official will kill the enemy with you, if you can repel the enemy army, you will work for three days, and everyone will be rewarded!" ”
"This, hey!" Yu was taken aback, then sighed helplessly, and also pulled out his long sword and went up.
I have to say that the courage of a pure literati Taishou to rush to the front line to kill the enemy in person is still good, and it also has a lot of motivation for morale, and the defenders who were already about to be completely defeated faintly had some fighting spirit to resist the invasion of the landing security army.
"Humph!" Seeing this scene, Zhou Tai snorted coldly, the sword in his hand shone, swept away the surrounding enemy troops, and then suddenly rushed to Wang Lang's side to kill the past, along the way, all the enemy troops who resisted his path were shocked to death and shocked by his strength and huge sword qi, so that the rest were frightened and did not dare to stop it.
"Bastard!" Seeing Zhou Tai killing, Wang Lang was angry from the heart, if it weren't for this guy, Shanyin City would not have been broken in just two hours, and the resentment against Zhou Tai made him lose his judgment, and he actually forgot the difference in strength between the two and went forward.
"Poof!"
With just one blow, the long sword in Wang Lang's hand was broken in two, and the whole person was also slashed out by Zhou Tai's brute force, and he fell to the ground unable to move.
"Die!" Zhou Tai didn't have any mercy, and one rushed over, raised his weapon with one arm, and wanted to be slashed to death.
"Rest hurting my lord!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Flip on the side hurriedly stretched out his long sword and blocked Zhou Tai's long knife to death.
"Huh?" Zhou Tai glanced at Yu in surprise, and used three more points.
"Ahh Yu Fu is also a civil official, where can his martial arts and strength be high, he was already very reluctant to resist Zhou Tai's long knife a little, and now Zhou Tai is even more unbearable if he tries harder, not to mention sweating profusely, his two arms are trembling slightly, and he will fall down at any time.
"If you have integrity, I won't kill you!" Zhou Tai had some admiration in his heart, this person was a scribe in all aspects, but it was very rare to be able to stand up to save the Lord at a critical moment.
"Thank you, general!" Yu turned his heart overjoyed, and was about to say thank you, but he saw a white light flash, and then his eyes turned black and he fainted.
"You too, down!" Zhou Tai concocted the same method, and then stunned Wang Lang with the back of the knife, found a rope, and tied the two together.
Taishou himself was captured, and the morale of the defenders, which had been slightly raised, immediately plummeted, and most of them threw their weapons directly and surrendered on their knees, and the occasional recalcitrant ones were also killed one by one, which can be said to be the end of the war.
In addition to taking Shanyin City, more than 20,000 defenders were killed, or beheaded or captured, and the most important thing was to capture Wang Lang himself.
After capturing Sanyin City, Lu An directly stayed in the original Sanyin Taishou Mansion, sent sergeants to take over the other three sides of the city defense, and at the same time sent people to send a message to inform the other counties of Huiji County, so that they could come and ask for surrender, and handle the pacification work after the war in an orderly manner.
"My lord! You call me? Zhou Tai walked in and bowed.
"Youping, hurry up!" Lu An hurriedly got out of his seat, helped him up, and said with a smile: "In this battle, Youping has made great contributions, what reward do you want?" ”
"The last general's matter, I dare not invite rewards!" Zhou Tai arched his hand very low-key.
"Hehe, that's not good, the army has to be rewarded and punished clearly, if this battle is without you, I'm afraid it will take some effort to take this Jijun, since you don't say it, then I'll keep it first, you go to review the military book for a while!" Lu An patted him on the shoulder and spoke.
"Huh?" Zhou Tai had some questions, what does this reward have to do with the review of the military book?
"Haha, General Youping, the lord wants to wait until after this Jiangdong War to let you be a chief general and command the three armies, so let you review the military book first and make some preparations!" Guo Jia on the side couldn't help laughing and explained his doubts.
"Thank you, my lord!" Zhou Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him. But then he seemed to think of something again, hesitated slightly, and hesitated: "The lord treats him well, and the last general is grateful, but the last general is not very good at leading the troops. ”
For a martial artist, there is nothing more tempting than commanding the three armies, seeing Gan Ning leading troops to fight many times, Zhou Tai said that he did not envy that it was false, but his family knew his own affairs, and Zhou Tai was very confident in his own force, no matter who it was, he could go up twice, even if he was as brave as Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, he was not afraid, but he was really not very good at leading the troops, especially under the command of Lu An, who was famous in martial arts, he didn't want to make any mistakes.
"You and peace of mind is, nothing is innate, as long as you continue to learn, Youping you are brave, and follow me for a long time, it's a pity to let you only be a pioneer, I can't bear it, the matter of unifying the army, as long as a little experience, I believe that Youping will have some understanding, and I will also give you a calm deputy general and military advisor when playing, as long as Youping you are careful, I believe you will become a generation of famous generals in the future!" Lu An opened his mouth to comfort.
"The last general will thank the lord!" Looking at Lu An's soft and expectant eyes, Rao is Zhou Tai's iron-blooded man's eyes couldn't help but be a little red, he hurriedly lowered his head and kowtowed respectfully.
"Haha, it's all your own people, don't always be like this, you see that Guo Jia has never behaved like me like this, as long as you don't blame me for writing empty checks, you have to go down to Jiangdong first!" Lu An helped him up and said with a light smile.
"The last general must fight to the death on the battlefield and help the lord take Jiangdong as soon as possible!" Zhou Tai said firmly.
After discussing the disposition of Zhou Tai in the future, Lu An asked him to go down to rest, and by the way, Wang Langyu turned over and the two of them were escorted over.
Wang Lang and Yu Fan's identities are different, and Lu An naturally couldn't meet them together, so he asked people to bring Yu Pan in first and untie him.
"See General Lu!" After untying the rope on his body, Yu Fu moved his lower body slightly, and bowed very politely.
Yu translated, the word Zhongxiang
Basic Force: 50, Base Intelligence: 86
Skill: Pillar of Fire, Red Flame Burning
Military skills: increase the attack of our army, increase the speed of our army
Trait: Followers (Increases the speed of housekeeping)
Trait: Feng Shui (a person who is proficient in metaphysics, can help the city under his rule to avoid natural disasters, and make the people under his rule prone to a good harvest, the maximum range is one county)
"There is actually such a property as feng shui, it looks amazing!" After checking the attributes of Yu Tuo, Lu An was a little stunned, he didn't expect that this Yu Flip was also good at metaphysical feng shui, isn't this the ancestor of fortune telling in later generations, but putting this guy in a county is very useful, and he is a pretty good internal affairs talent.
"Yu Translation, I won't say more nonsense, I know you are a loyal person, but at this time, Huiji has fallen into my hands, are you willing to surrender?" Coughing slightly, Lu An went directly to the topic, just now Yu turned over on the head of the city to save Wang Lang regardless of his own safety, Lu An also saw it, he has always liked this kind of righteous man.
