Chapter 49 Liu Guan Zhang Xian, an all-out siege of the city
The sky was bright, and under the right gate of Guangzong City, Zhang Liang held the letter shot out of the city in his hand. The wide tiger eyes glanced at the generals in the tent, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
"Bang!" He slammed the letter on the table, his hands and feet still shaking with anger and fear. Zhang Liang said to these generals who still didn't know what was going on: "A letter came from the city just now, saying that Sun Ling of Yuzhou has led an army to come, and the general of Digong has been completely wiped out in Xiabo County, and my second brother is dead. General Tiangong was also seriously ill in bed after hearing about this, so I asked me to strictly guard against the movements of Huangfu Song and Lu Zhijun, and always pay attention to the movements of the Naba Sword Battalion, so as not to let them take advantage of it. ”
"How did the killing god come so quickly, the second general is gone, and now there is the killing god army outside the city, how can we be prepared, whether to let the city open the city gate to welcome us into the city... As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, it immediately caused a commotion, and words like this were passed among the generals in the tent. You say a word, I say a word, it's not lively.
Zhang Liang stared coldly at the commotion of these people below, because the second brother died and the eldest brother fell ill, the already angry and anxious heart finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment and broke out. roared: "What kind of noise, it's time to go, you don't want to deal with Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, but you want to enter the city?" Hmph, I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth. When we enter the city, we are alone, and what is the difference between sitting and waiting to die? If that's the case, it's better to entangle them outside the city, anyway, they will all die, maybe there is a glimmer of life. ”
This roar finally woke up these whispering generals, and looking at Zhang Liang who was looking at the hideous eyes above, everyone didn't dare to say anything more at the moment.
"The whole army is on alert, and the Han army outside the city is strictly guarded. In addition, send someone out to find out the movements of the Badao Battalion, don't let people kill them at home, I don't know what's going on! Seeing that it finally quieted down, Zhang Liang thought for a moment and said.
The generals who were already worried saw the commander's order, so they naturally rushed to take the order. For them, now, if they can, they want to turn the Yellow Turban's defense into an iron bucket.
Just when these Yellow Turban generals were running around and arranging, they had no idea that a huge number of black-armored cavalry had marched to the woods less than ten miles away from Zhang Liang's military camp to rest for a while.
"Fengxiao, do you think this Liang will be tricked?" In the woods, Sun Ling sat boredly on a round log and asked Guo Jia, who was drinking wine beside him.
That's right, this black-armored cavalry is the sword battalion that just wiped out Zhang Baojun's sword battalion in Xiabo County yesterday. It turned out that after the battle yesterday, when Sun Ling and the four military advisors discussed how to take Zhang Liang, Xun You and Xu Shu thought that they should go back to meet Huangfu Song first, and directly crush Zhang Liang's army with a dignified attitude.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai thought that they should immediately lead the army to walk at night again, and hide under Zhang Liang's nose, and then send someone to inform Huangfu Song to attack the city in an all-round way, attracting Zhang Liang to come forward to relieve the siege, and then the Badao battalion killed the Yellow Turban with Huangfu Song from behind Zhang Liang's army, which was the fastest solution. Of course, there is a risk in doing so, that is, if Zhang Liangjun is not fooled, Huangfu Song will suffer a slight loss, and the Badao battalion will also change from a surprise attack to a strong attack.
For these two plans, Sun Ling thought for a moment and decisively chose the second plan. If Zhang Liang doesn't break the siege, it doesn't matter to him that Huangfu Song loses some troops, anyway, the dead friends don't die in the poor way. As for the Tyrant Battalion, if it can reduce some damage without attacking strongly, Sun Ling is naturally happy to see it. If you really want to attack, who is the sword battalion afraid of? In this way, Sun Ling rushed to this forest with the Badao camp overnight, and Xu Huang was ordered to go to the Huangfu Song camp halfway to inform the plan.
"Hiccup..." Guo Jia burped when he saw Sun Ling's questioning, put down the wine gourd in his hand, and said confidently: "Don't worry, just watch and wait for the best time." If General Huangfu Song attacked the city with all his might, I don't believe that Zhang Liang would let go of such a good opportunity. ”
Guo Jia's words made Sun Ling, who wanted to find someone to chat with to pass the time, his face darkened, and he glanced at him angrily, then lay on the log and closed his eyes to rest and wait for the time to come.
Looking at Sun Ling's performance, Guo Jia was also inexplicable. Am you not right? Uh, forget it, it's better to drink. I couldn't figure it out.,Pick up the wine gourd and continue to enjoy it.。。
At noon, the drums of the attack came from the Han army camp. Countless Han troops marched out of the camp and came to the place where Guangzong was a stone's throw away.
"Bluff bluff!" More than 80,000 Han troops lined up under the city, waving the swords in their hands, and the sound of war reached the sky.
Zhang Niujiao, the head of Guangzong City, was nervously deploying the city defenses, and took the time to look at the city again, and his face couldn't help but turn a little green. secretly said in his heart: This Huangfu Song is crazy, seeing that this posture is full of troops, and he plans to attack the city in an all-round way.
It is not only Zhang Niujiao who has this idea, Zhang Liang under the city is also nervous at the moment when he sees this formation, he is afraid that Huangfu Song's siege of the city is fake, and the real purpose is them. The order went down and let the generals keep an eye on the army of Huangfu Song and prepare to resist the enemy. After everything was arranged, he glanced back at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were waiting at the head of Guangzong City, and then he was a little relieved.
If Guo Jia knew his mind at this moment, he would definitely laugh out loud. Zhang Liang was also clever, guessing that the purpose of this time was him, but he was guarding against the wrong object. Little did they know that a black-armored cavalry with its bloody jaws wide open and ready to devour them was right under their noses.
"General Xu Huang, the army is ready to attack the city. I wonder what happened to the hussar general? In the Han army array, Huangfu Song looked at Guangzong City in front of him worriedly, and asked Xu Huang beside him.
"General Huangfu, rest assured, my lord must be impatient at this moment." Xu Huang glanced in the direction of the woods on the right side of the city gate and said.
It is impossible for Huangfu Song not to be nervous at this time, after all, the whole army is pressing, if there is an accident on Sun Ling's side, then he will suffer a big loss. So after asking, I have been observing Xu Huang's expression, and seeing him looking at the woods over there, I know it in my heart at this moment.
"The front army pressed and prepared to attack the city, the sword and shield hands stepped forward, and the right army defended the yellow turban on the right flank." The order came out of Huangfu Song's mouth, and the entire Han army array moved instantly.
With the movements of the Han army, the entire Guangzong battlefield suddenly became tense, and the atmosphere before the war became stronger and stronger. In fact, Huangfu Song still has a mind in this arrangement, the front army is basically a righteous army formed by those powerful people, and the right army and the left army are basically the original Han soldiers. This is also to cooperate with Sun Ling's encirclement of Zhang Liang's army, and he can't trust those untrained rebels.
The front army pressed forward by the Han army is very weird, not like the original Han army, there are only Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi, the generals of the two generals, and there are all kinds of flags. Among the soldiers and horses formed by the powerful clans of various places, there is an army that is very abrupt among them. It's not that this army is strong, on the contrary, there are less than 500 soldiers and horses led by this general with the word "Liu", and none of them are wearing armor, but the three generals in front of the battle are wearing leather armor, which is in stark contrast to other soldiers and horses.
"Big brother, second brother, what do you say that Huangfu Song's thief is thinking, didn't the hussar general already arrive the day before yesterday? If it is not good to wait for the hussar general to destroy that Zhang Liang and then besiege the city, why is it so hurried to attack the city today? The black-faced man with a bearded face among the three generals carried a snake spear in his hand on his shoulder, and said with a big grin to the other two.
Of the three. Except for the one who spoke before. The other two are also "extraordinary" in appearance, one of them has a long face, two ears that are unusually large, and the arms holding the double sword can reach the knees. There is also a person who was born with a pair of phoenix eyes, a bunch of beautiful beards perpendicular to his chest, if it weren't for the destruction of the red face like a soldering iron, he could also be called a beautiful bearded man. If Sun Ling saw their images here, he would definitely be surprised. That's right, the three people in front of them are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three brothers of the "Taoyuan Three Alliances".
Regarding Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu was noncommittal. The old god was caressing his beautiful beard, his eyes were half-closed, and he tightly grasped the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, staring at the head of Guangzong City.
"Yide, don't talk nonsense. General Huangfu Song must have his reasons for doing this, and we just have to do what I am told. When the siege begins, you and my brothers will work together, and if you can get the first place on the city wall, it will be a great achievement! As Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei himself was guessing the reason why Huangfu Song was in a hurry to attack the city, but he still asked Zhang Fei not to say more, after all, this was in the army. If it is heard by others and spread to Huangfu Song, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be condemned.
For Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei is still very convinced. At this time, he said this, and Zhang Fei naturally didn't say anything more, and focused on the head of Guangzong City that was to be conquered later.
"Start the siege!" Seeing that everything was ready, Huangfu Song ordered with a wave of his hand.
"Rush!" With the order of Huangfu Song, the tight thread before the war was finally broken. The soldiers of the front army, who had mixed banners, carried various ladders on their backs, pushed carts, catapults, etc., and rushed towards Gwangjong Fortress.
"Bastard, this old horseman Huangfu Song really dares to do this. The whole army attacked and tore the right flank of the Han army to me. Zhang Liang saw that in addition to arranging the right flank to defend himself, the rest of the troops were pressed on the siege, and ordered angrily.
The Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city at the head of the city kept shooting arrows, and the fire oil and stones were constantly thrown down to block the Han army from going up to the city. As more and more Han soldiers came to the city to set up the ladder, the yellow scarves on the city were also busy.
"Put!" The general of the Han army under the city gave an order, countless arrows rained, and flying stones flew towards the head of Guangzong City, and the head of the city screamed again and again for a while, which can be regarded as buying some time for the siege soldiers.
The battle at the head of the city was in full swing, and the city was not far behind, Zhang Liang led the Yellow Turban army to fight with the Han army on the right flank. When the two armies are engaged, either you die or I die, and people die under each other's swords all the time.
Looking at the front army that was struggling to siege the city and the right flank that could be torn apart at any time, Huangfu Song's heart was burning at the moment, looking at the woods in the distance, and praying secretly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
“。。。。。。”
A roar of murderous intent came, and the chill of Sen Ran made the warring sides of the entire Guangzong battlefield look sideways.
"It's finally here." Huangfu Song looked at the iron cavalry that suddenly appeared behind Zhang Liangjun, put down his heart, and muttered.
