Wang Xu has always been resolute, and once a decision is made, he will not look ahead or backward.

In order to facilitate his actions and eliminate the possibility of being exposed, he only informed the main general Zhao Yun of the matter.

With Zhao Yun's temperament, he was naturally tight-lipped and would not say anything to anyone, just quietly adjust the deployment and prepare for the general attack in seven days. At the same time, in order not to arouse suspicion, the attack continued to stop for the next seven days, but in order to avoid senseless casualties, there was finally some pretentiousness.

Although Deng Xian in the city was a little aware and guessed that the Jingzhou army would have an amazing plan, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only be more cautious, personally inspecting and urging the soldiers everywhere to strictly guard against it......

On April 11, 197 A.D., the appointed day finally arrived.

Zhao Yun commanded the army and launched a fierce attack on Jiangyang City again, which was completely different from the previous few days, it was a real sword and a real gun, and he rushed to the city without his life.

Deng Xian discovered this in the first wave of attacks, and deduced that the Jingzhou army should have a conspiracy today, and immediately formed a reserve team of all the soldiers who were still resting, ready to deal with changes at any time.

Because of the success of the previous defense, thanks to Fazheng's assistance, he also asked Fazheng's opinion as soon as he made his own arrangements.

"Xiaozhi, what do you think Jingzhou is trying to do?"

Fa Zheng was calm, walked slowly to observe, and then said leisurely: "General Deng, in my opinion, Jingzhou suddenly weakened its attack some time ago, and today it is so fierce, if they are not adjusting themselves, then they have the means to attack the city." However, judging from the current shape, the strength of our army is still strong. The city defenses also remained solid. So. If they want to attack, there are no more than two aspects, external force and internal force. ”

"Oh?" Deng Xian actually had some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't hurry to say it, but continued to ask: "What is the external force, and what is the internal force?" ”

Fa Zheng knew that the answer at this moment was extremely important, but there was no discoloration on his face, and he frowned for a moment. He responded: "Outsiders, first, Jingzhou has found a flaw in our city's defense, second, it may have developed some new siege equipment, and third, other soldiers and horses are coming, ready to attack our weak point when we are unpredictable." ”

"As for the internal force, that is, there may be someone in our city who has surrendered and will open the city gate and let them in, this kind of method must be guarded against."

"Oh?" Deng Xian raised his eyebrows, in fact, he also had some guesses. And Fa Zheng's words really spoke to his heart. At the moment, I couldn't help but say: "Then how to deal with it." ”

"Hahaha...... The general doesn't need to worry too much, Jingzhou is just a small carving insect! Fa Zheng laughed disdainfully, and then arched his hand and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of external forces, with the current strength of our Jiangyang City, as long as we deal with it properly, we don't have too many worries, and we can see the move." As for the internal factors, we should be careful, and the most trustworthy people in the city at present are none other than four. ”

"One is the general himself, one is General Wu Lan, the other is General Lei Tong, and the last one is me. We only need to disperse and lead a city gate in person, so that naturally we can easily detect those who have abnormal movements, and no one will have a chance. ”

Fa Zheng's words are really seamless, and it is difficult for anyone to arouse suspicion, after all, no one would have thought that the conspirators would take the initiative to tell their own conspiracy.

Deng Xian didn't either, not to mention Fa Zheng's past achievements in Jingzhou, as well as the high position he now occupies in Yizhou, which made him trust him very much, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "It's okay, then it's up to you." ”

As soon as his words fell, Fa Zheng looked murderously at the outside of the city, and continued: "Since it has been planned, it is not too late, now that the offensive of the Jingzhou army has been launched, it will change later, it is better for the general to guard the east city where the enemy army is the most fierce, General Wu Lan will guard the south city, General Lei Tong will guard the west city, as for the north city, it will be handed over to me, the north city seems to be no enemy attack, but because of this, it is even more worrying, if there is something, it is very likely to be over there." ”

"Hmm!" Deng Xian nodded in agreement, and then gave the order.

But Fa Zheng did not leave immediately, but hesitated and said, "General Deng, there is one more matter. ”

"Please!" Deng Xian nodded politely.

"I'm not a general of the unified army, and I have never commanded the army, but I just participated in the military here, and I went to Beicheng to command, if there is a change in the generals, what should I do?"

"This ......" Deng Xian was stunned, but suddenly remembered this question, Fa Zheng is a civil official after all, unlike Wu Lan and Lei Tong, if there is really a general rebellion, the soldier will definitely obey his superiors, and will not listen to him, who joined the army.

Seeing that the offensive under the city was becoming more and more fierce, Deng Xian didn't have time to think about it, took out his talisman from his arms, and said solemnly: "Filial piety, we have been leading the troops for a long time, and the soldiers dare not disobey, you really can't, but go with my talisman, no one will dare to mess around, and a few abnormal movers, you will let people kill yourself." ”

"No!" Fa Zheng bowed his hand heavily, took the talisman from his hand, and said with a stern face: "Don't worry, general, Beicheng will be handed over to me!" ”

There seems to be no problem with this sentence, but in fact, the meaning is completely different at different times. Since there was no actual commitment to anything, it is now easy to understand that he was going to resolutely defend the North City.

But if something really goes wrong, there is no burden of promise, because he only said that he would hand over Beicheng to him, but he never promised to protect Beicheng to the death.

"Hmm!" Deng Xian did not doubt him, and nodded silently.

Holding the talisman, Fa Zheng knew that the great success had been accomplished, and immediately rushed to Beicheng with his cronies' guards.

With the passage of time, the siege fell into a white heat, and a Jingzhou soldier and horse of 10,000 people also appeared outside the northern city, including 5,000 elite iron cavalry to press the formation, and the foot soldiers quickly pushed the siege equipment to rush towards the city wall.

Fa Zheng stood high at the head of the city, he was not afraid, the talisman was held in his hand, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Hide under the battlements after the foot soldiers retreat, and the crossbowmen are ready!" ”

With the Beicheng soldiers in place, Fa Zheng still did not have the slightest difference, and soon ordered again: "The crossbowmen shoot to cover, open the city gates, and the cavalry will launch a surprise attack, and be sure to disrupt the first wave of the enemy's offensive." ”

The city gate opened, and eight hundred iron cavalry swarmed out under the leadership of the cavalry captain and launched a charge against the infantry soldiers who came forward from the Jingzhou army.

At this moment, Jingzhou's five thousand iron cavalry also moved, they were originally divided into two divisions, three echelons, led by Xu Huang and Guan Hai, the moment the city gate opened, they instantly swarmed up, completely rushed into the city with all their might, and the momentum was amazing.

This kind of surprise attack, at most, only needs to divide a force of troops and horses to intercept it, but the other party is pouring out, which is really strange.

Because such a surprise attack of the whole army will not only lead the elite cavalry to fall into the rain of arrows of the crossbowmen at the head of the city, which will increase huge casualties, but also impossible to kill into the city, who does not know to retreat into the city first and close the city gates?

The leading lieutenant of the Yizhou cavalry, although strange that this action was unreasonable, was also decisive, and after a few charges, he ordered to withdraw to the city, and the soldiers then pulled their horses and galloped, because they knew very well that if they were a little slow at this time, they would be locked out of the city gates.

But strange things happened, generally the enemy army rushed over, the city gate would be closed in advance, and often many of their own soldiers were locked outside the city, or strangled, or surrendered immediately.

But this time, Jiangyang's north gate did not move, and there was no sign of closing for a long time.

The guards of the city were anxious, their eyes wandered, looking back and forth between the iron cavalry rushing up in Jingzhou and the talisman in Fa Zheng's hand.

But at this moment, Fa Zheng didn't say a word, and he was silent.

How fast did the cavalry charge?

Just a moment was enough to lose all opportunities, and by the time the soldiers were in a hurry to close the gates, they were too late.

When they pulled the wheel with all their sufficiency, the heavy iron door still closed slowly like an old ox-drawn cart.

Only a little bit closed, Xu Huang and Guan Hai two generals have already rushed to the city gate, the ferocity is monstrous, the Yizhou soldiers guarding the gate saw the iron cavalry stepping out of the smoke billowing out, rushed over, no longer care about the city gate, even rolling and crawling to the ground turned around and fled.

"It's over!" This is what the vast majority of Yizhou sergeants think at this moment.

The Jingzhou Iron Cavalry was like a torrent of steel, like a bamboo, and it entered the city in an instant, and the foot soldiers in the rear soon followed, surging towards Jiangyang City.

Until this time, many people are still puzzled, why is there such an order?

Many middle and low-level generals even scolded stupidity, only Fa Zheng still stood in the city tower with his personal guards, with a calm face and did not say a word, while the others, without receiving orders, had already run away.

Soon, a Jingzhou iron cavalry surrounded the city tower, but no one went up, but it meant to protect it.

It was only at this time that Fa Zheng's eyes turned again, looked at the fleeing Yizhou soldiers, and shouted in a deep voice: "General Wang's benevolence is crowned in the world, and all Yizhou soldiers will surrender and not kill!" ”

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

The fierce Jingzhou soldiers then erupted into an earth-shattering shout, shaking the entire Jiangyang City......

At the same time, Deng Xian at the East Gate, Lei Tong at the West Gate, and Wu Lan at the South Gate all changed color in an instant, their bodies were soft, and their eyes looking at the north were full of powerlessness!

At this moment, no one has the power to return to the sky, Jiangyang City is wrapped in dumplings, there is no way out in all directions, the recalcitrant ones are strangled in an instant, and the slogan of surrender and not killing has of course become the only wise choice for the soldiers of Yizhou, and it also saves the soldiers of Jingzhou from fighting to the death in the face of the trapped beasts......

A few hours later, the noisy Jiangyang City gradually calmed down, and the strict military orders made the Jingzhou soldiers not dare to disturb the households, and the people hid in their homes, although they were frightened, but they were not affected by the war.

Deng Xian at the east gate wanted to break through and was captured alive by Zhao Yun who personally guarded the side, Wu Lan and Lei Tong were also taken by Zhou Zhi, Zhang Jing, Cai Mao and others, because of full preparation, Wang Xu said that he would be captured alive as much as possible, so in the end they were all thrown off the horse and tied up and imprisoned.

In this battle, more than 30,000 Yizhou soldiers in Jiangyang City were killed before and after, and the rest were all captured.

However, this qiē was not over yet, and when the overall situation was about to be decided, Fa Zheng had already sent someone to summon Wang Xu as soon as possible, and there was only a simple sentence on it: "General Wang, Deng Xian was appointed as the governor of Qianwei County, and now his military talisman is in my hands." ”

PS: One more arrives! (To be continued......)
