Chapter 196: The Battle of Wancheng
Wancheng.
The night was slow, full of stars, but under this calm night sky, there was a cold wind howling, bloody and mourning, and there were dense soldiers everywhere, holding swords and soldiers, and wearing armor constantly impacting the city under the night sky, and it didn't take long for it to slowly retreat back, like a wave, coming and going.
On the city wall, there are also countless soldiers who are very busy, and you come and go to carry arrows, rolling logs, and cauldrons at the mercy of everywhere, inside is boiling black oil, boiling heat, intimidating.
"Quick! Hurry up, damn the Yellow Turban Army, wait for the lord to return to the army, I must kill them, damn it, what are you doing! ”
A lieutenant scolded loudly, and when he saw a soldier with a torch in his hand, he almost lit the oil, and immediately scolded angrily, grabbed the soldier and shouted angrily.
"General, I, I'······"
Seeing him stumbling, the captain became even more angry, and pointed the blood-stained knife in his hand at the soldiers.
"Bastard, whose soldier are you!"
Suddenly, another lieutenant came over and pulled the angry lieutenant.
"Lao Wang, don't blame him, he is a new soldier who volunteered to defend the city."
Captain Wang withdrew his sword and scolded.
"Go ahead, be careful, you're a man!"
The encouraged man's face turned red, nodded fiercely, and turned towards the city.
"Lao Zhao, how can there be new recruits coming to the city, don't we still have elite soldiers, they haven't been on the battlefield, this is a fate! Damn, what does Taishou-sama think, what kind of thing is this! ”
Saying that, Captain Wang sat on the ground and spat at the blood, obviously very dissatisfied with Taishou.
"Lao Wang, don't say that, in fact, it's not Lord Taishou's fault!"
Captain Wang glared angrily and sneered.
"He can't take care of it? Joke, Wancheng was given to him by the main bus, who can care about him in this Wancheng! ”
Captain Zhao smiled bitterly, it seemed that Lao Wang had a deep misunderstanding of Lord Taishou, but he also knew that Lao Wang was just straightforward and fast-talking, and his heart was not bad, but he couldn't see that it was the innocent people who lost their lives, so he patted Captain Wang's shoulder.
"Lao Wang, you can! Can Lord Taishou still not know the way? You are a reckless man who knows how much Lu Dao, just chirp there crookedly, there are many things in this, can it be that you have followed Lord Taishou for so long, and you still don't know Lu Dao's character? ”
Captain Wang was stunned for a moment, remembering Taishou's personality, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Lao Zhao, I'm just a rough person, I don't know so much, now except for fighting and resisting these damn thieves, how can I have time to care about anything else, what is the matter, you tell me."
Captain Zhao smiled and put his big broadsword on his knee.
"Lao Wang, the lord is so wise, he can clear Jingzhou in a short time, the people are not grateful to Dai De, the people who are mentioned are Brother Kuailiang, General Cai Mao, etc., that is not a talent, Jingzhou can only be fast and stable with these people, do you say that Lord Taishou can be the kind of short-sighted person?"
Captain Wang rolled his eyes and kicked Captain Zhao.
"Nonsense, if it weren't for the lord's sake, my old king would have joined the army? Whether the lord is majestic or not, I don't know if he has the wisdom of knowing people, but I know that since the lord came to Jingzhou, my old Wang's wife and wife no longer have to worry about the soldiers and bandits, at this point, my surname Wang is willing to work for the lord, but so what, the people are guarding the city, and it is not the lord's order! ”
Captain Zhao was speechless, originally he wanted to show that he was erudite and talented, but he didn't expect that people didn't do such a thing at all, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Well, you're a reckless man, you know how to kill!"
"What? I'm not convinced! Don't interrupt, hurry up and tell what's going on, there are still so many elite soldiers in the city, why will there be people on the city wall, isn't this nonsense? ”
"Forget it, don't have the same knowledge as you, this is not an order to be guarded, many people know that this is the Yellow Turban siege, panic, the city is messy, every household is in chaos, it is not easy to stabilize them, saying that Jingzhou has many generals, and the little Yellow Turban is not a problem, it is impossible to break Wancheng, but they are afraid, the harm of the Yellow Turban, poisoning the people, they are afraid, they are ······"
"Zhao Laosan, hurry up, your grandma's, it's like a fart after talking for a long time!"
Captain Wang was annoyed by hearing this, and immediately interrupted his words, looking at Captain Zhao's depressed face, he grinned, Captain Zhao was helpless against him, both of them were in the army together, and they were brothers formed by bloody battles, so they didn't care about this.
"Dog Lao Wang, you are in a hurry to reincarnate, forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you, that is, the people are not willing to just defend the city with the Jingzhou army, they spontaneously organized the young and strong, and some families in the city lent them weapons and armor, and they want to defend the city with the Jingzhou army, and they swear not to let them die, and the Lord Taishou has no choice but to agree.
Later, Lord Taishou found that there were many Yellow Turban soldiers, and at this time it was just a small fight, and the army had not yet been pressed, so that's it, after all, at this time, the will of the people cannot be violated, and the city cannot be chaotic; After that, Taishou also understood that at this time, leave the elite soldiers, and when the Yellow Turban Army presses up, then send the elite soldiers to resist the Yellow Turbans, after all, the Yellow Turban Army can break Luoyang, and the combat power is not bad, we can't deal with it with tired soldiers. ”
Captain Wang suddenly realized and grinned.
"I see, I said it earlier! Really, what to pretend. ”
Captain Zhao's face darkened, this bastard was angry when he spoke, but for Taishou's measures, he thought it was true, the harm of the Yellow Turban was too serious, the people were afraid, and there were Si Li who fled in the city, and their fear of the Yellow Turban was even worse, infecting the people in the city, and finally arrived in Jingzhou, this paradise in their eyes, how could they tolerate the Yellow Turban Army to destroy it again.
Captain Zhao shook his head, throwing out his own cranky thoughts, didn't he join the army to defend his homeland because he was afraid of the yellow turban, how similar this is to them, and looked at Captain Wang, who was covered in blood.
"Lao Wang, how many yellow cubs did you kill just now?"
Speaking of this, Captain Wang was very interested, sat down all of a sudden, and stared at Captain Zhao.
"Hehe, Lao Zhao, when it comes to this, you kid will be cowardly, so far I have been stupid seventeen yellow cubs, and I am still three years old and twenty, hehe!"
Looking at the smug look on Captain Wang's face, he wanted to laugh, but the trace of tiredness under his eyes, Captain Zhao still saw it, patted Captain Wang's, and said in a deep voice.
"Lao Wang, you were too reckless when you killed the enemy, this is not good, maybe you will hang the lottery, be careful. , There are still wives and children waiting for you at home, after this war, you definitely have military merits, and the lord will not hesitate to reward, you kid can't die first. ”
Captain Wang grinned and smashed his fist on Captain Zhao.
"Grandma, what are you talking about, my old king is still afraid of those yellow cubs? Okay, don't say it, I know the way, you should pay attention to yourself, I'll take a break, these yellow cubs are too hateful, Lao Tzu hasn't had a good night's sleep yet. ”
Looking at Lao Wang's appearance, Zhao Xiaowei's heart was sour, he knew that Lao Wang was so desperate for Lu, there was only one man left in their Wang family, the eldest brother died in the war, the third child died because of the yellow scarf, the burden of the whole family was on his shoulders alone, the family had his own wife and children, the eldest brother's wife and children, the third brother's wife and children, the whole family depended on him to eat, if he didn't work hard for military merit, the family would starve.
Looking at Lao Wang, who was lying directly on the ground, covered in blood, even if he slept, the knife in his hand did not leave his hand, Captain Zhao's eyes were moist, staring at the dense yellow scarves outside the city, and he was secretly determined to protect Lao Wang, he was alone, and if he died, he would die, but Lao Wang could not die.
When he was busy in the city, Zhang Mancheng outside the city was riding a high-headed horse, looking at the city in front of him, another wave of attacks by the Yellow Turban Army was driven back, which made him very sad, he didn't know what Lu Dao was still unable to break through the crumbling Wancheng, when the Yellow Turban marched, it was like a broken bamboo, and there was no enemy, why is it so difficult now, he really can't figure it out.
"General, you can't fight anymore, the morale of the soldiers is gone, the walls of Wancheng are strong, and there are heavy guards, and it can't be broken for a while."
The adjutant behind him watched the Yellow Turban soldiers go forward one after another, suffering heavy casualties, and couldn't help but dissuade him anymore.
Zhang Mancheng turned his head suddenly, glared at the deputy general, pulled out the war knife in his waist, and aimed at the neck of the deputy general, killing intent raged!
"Nonsense, little Wancheng, how can my 100,000 army not be able to break through! As the general's deputy, you don't think about how to break the enemy and charge into battle, but here you are deceiving the people and confusing the army's heart, don't you dare to kill you! ”
With the addition of a knife and axe, the deputy general's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"The general is angry, the general is angry!"
Zhang Mancheng turned a deaf ear and squinted at Wancheng.
"I think that at the beginning, my Yellow Turban fought a hundred battles, conquered everything, was invincible, and even the Luoyang Emperor was taken, how could the little Wancheng resist the soldiers of my Yellow Turban Heavenly Kingdom at this time, I don't believe that the little Wancheng can stop me Zhang Mancheng!"
The adjutant general was still kneeling on the ground, slandering in his heart.
At the beginning, the original Yellow Turban was not in command, such a reckless siege of the city, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and many soldiers were reluctant to attack, who do you think you are, military advisor? arrogant, he still had a way out earlier.
"Herald! The whole army is pressing, I want to take Wancheng in one battle, otherwise the generals who will attack the city will come to see me! ”
Zhang Mancheng was furious, the princes of the world gathered in Luoyang, such a good opportunity, compared to the wealth of Jingzhou, the place of chaos in Yuzhou, he would have been stretched three feet, if he could take Wancheng, then marching into Jingzhou is no longer a luxury, he Zhang Mancheng is not willing to be mediocre, but also to do something big!
After the adjutant general heard Zhang Mancheng's order, he closed his eyes in pain, and it was over.
The flames were in the sky, and the smoke of war was filled.
The Yellow Turban Army rushed to Wancheng in dense form, the roar shook the mountains and rivers, and the arrows flew sideways, and no one knew when Lu Dao would be hit and die under the arrows.
"The general has an order! The whole army pressed up and attacked Wancheng! ”
