Chapter 439: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

The breeze blows, the speed is like a fall, and the remnant clouds are flying everywhere! The general chases, the warrior follows, swinging out the bloody piece of blood!

The fierce battle at the head of Huyang City, Zhou Zhi and Dian Wei's eyes can't see! Xiangxiang City, which is also besieged, cannot be seen with their eyes! However, their hearts could see that the two of them led 10,000 personal guards non-stop, and after resting for most of the night in Xinye supplies, they sent 2,000 cavalry to rush to the city of Yuyang County, Nan County, taking advantage of the night.

Zhou Zhi made a decisive decision and decisively went around the city, leaving only five hundred knights scattered on all the northbound roads, eliminating the possibility of reporting to the north.

In this way, once the capture of Nanyang fails, there will be no way to retreat, which can be said to be a taboo for soldiers, but at this moment he can't care about it. This is what makes him different, many times the battlefield will not follow the rules of the art of war at all, and how to choose reflects the talent of a general. And Zhou Zhi happens to be a person who loves soldiers and makes dangerous moves, winning is a big victory, losing is a big defeat, there are strange dangers, and there are positive in strange!

The general Liu Biaojun stationed in Yuyang County was dumbfounded, in the dark night, through the firelight, he didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, in the face of Jingnan's 10,000 elite horsemen, 3,000 foot soldiers out of the city was to kill themselves. Hurriedly sent his subordinate colonel out of the city to report the news, but unfortunately none of the messengers could go north, and in desperation, three groups of messengers were sent to Huyang City in Zhangling County in the south within a quarter of an hour.

As long as no one can report before he arrives in Wancheng, the capital of Nanyang County, Zhou Zhi won't care so much! These 10,000 guards have no camp tents, no grain and grass, only water and dry food with them, if they can't take Wancheng, the capital of Nanyang County, in a short time, then they will only face one road - a dead end!

Rushing into more than half an hour, facing the county seat of Jianyang County, Zhou Zhi also took advantage of the cover of night to send five hundred knights to block the road to the north as soon as possible, and then led the army to Wancheng and rushed all the way. Finally arrived three miles outside the city on the eve of dawn.

Before dawn is the darkest time. Sheltered by a small hill, the army stopped. "Dian Wei, you let the soldiers get off their horses and rest, I'll take a look at the surrounding terrain and find a place to hide."

"Good!" Dian Wei said in a deep voice.

After taking a general look at the surrounding geographical environment, Zhou Zhi was already well-informed in his heart, and hurriedly returned to Dian Wei's side. He said softly: "Dian Wei, you quickly lead two hundred people to change into the clothes of the people!" In another half an hour, the sky will be bright, and the gate of Xiangyang will be opened. Remember, put your weapons in the baskets you have prepared, and be sure to disperse as you approach the gates. Don't get together, pretend to be a little bit. ”

"I understand!" Dian Wei smiled honestly and continued: "I used to be a poor family, and I knew the living habits of the people. ”

"Hmmm! That's good. Zhou Zhi nodded, then looked at Dian Wei and said solemnly: "Then I will arrange for the army to hide in the mountains and forests everywhere, but you must be careful, I will definitely rush over as fast as possible!" ”

"Don't worry!" Dian Wei is not a verbose person, and he strode away with a casual wave of his hand.

Because there are too many people. To avoid being discovered. Zhou Zhiming, who was already a lieutenant, arranged 7,000 soldiers and horses to be in the distant mountains and forests, and the remaining 1,000 people were divided into five parts and hid in a closer place. The other 900 had already dispersed. The people who got up early within a radius of a few miles from the nearby generation were all arrested and tied up......

Time passed little by little, the light of dawn pierced the sky with a touch of fish belly white, darkness and light quietly changed shifts in the sky, hazy and mysterious, cool and quiet! As one of the most elite troops in Jingzhou and Wang Xu's direct subordinate troops, each of these soldiers is a thousand choices. At the moment, there was not a single sound, and the mouth and hooves of the war horse had already been wrapped, and they could not make much noise, and they were also resting.

Suddenly, the majestic Wancheng South Gate Suspension Bridge slowly began to be lowered in the "squeak" friction sound, and the bronze bell at the head of the city was slowly rang as usual. More than 100 people in Dian Wei have already sat in the open space outside the city like ordinary people, carrying burdens and baskets. Although those soldiers are very nervous now, as elites, they can still face them calmly after high-intensity training. Moreover, such a scene is very familiar to them, the former common people, as if they did not see the drawbridge falling and the city gate about to open. After all, the real people will not be in a hurry when they see the city gate opened!

The defenders of the castle with chains and the drawbridge did not understand that the catastrophe was coming, and still joked pleasantly: "Hey! Brother, you see, so many people are waiting at the South City Gate so early today. ”

"This is sprinkled, it is currently the autumn harvest, and some things in the field will be broken if they are not replaced, and they will be broken at home!"

"That's right!"

As the two chatted, the drawbridge was lowered little by little, and the city gate slowly opened. It was only then that Dian Wei pretended to stand up inadvertently, clapped his hands, picked up the burden and said to the person beside him: "Brother, let's go!" It's in town. ”

"Okay, big brother, wait for me to clean up!"

"What do you have to clean up when you enter the city, do you kid still want a young lady to take a fancy to you! As long as you are cowardly, Zhang Erniu next door will not marry you! ”

As soon as he said this, the people around him laughed cooperatively. Because they were closest to the city gate, the soldiers on duty who had just walked out also laughed and quipped: "Brother, if you can't marry a daughter-in-law, go to the drunken spring building in the city with your brother, the girl there is very smart!" Hahaha......"

At this moment, the people outside the city all stood up in twos and threes, and Dian Wei's eyes skimmed that everyone was ready, and immediately took the lead towards the city, and took the words with a smile in his mouth: "Drunken Spring Building?" When I have money, try it too! ”

"Hahahaha...... You black calf, you grow strong, and the little girl who goes in is afraid that she will not receive you! Hahaha......"

With the arrogant voice of the little soldier, the people behind him also walked over scatteredly, and the soldiers guarding the city in the depths of the party didn't feel anything, but a captain on duty on the city wall observed the surroundings during this time, but suddenly felt something wrong, and couldn't help but ask the deputy next to him: "Strange, there are not only more people squatting outside the south city gate today, why do you always feel that something is missing?" ”

"Huh? Does Big Brother feel this way too? I have it too! The deputy hesitated.

These words made the captain even more flustered, he was also very sensitive to danger after surviving many wars, and his eyes suddenly changed, looking at the people who were gathering more and more in the city. There was a glance into the distance. Suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, it's too quiet this morning, there is silence outside the city, except for the people waiting to open the city gate, there is no one." There was no steady stream of people coming around, not even in the distance, not even the birds. ”

Speaking of which. He was getting more and more uneasy, and shouted: "Close the gates! Close the gates! ”

"Huh?" The sergeant on duty, who was bragging and farting with Dian Wei outside the city gate, heard this shout and couldn't help but look back. When they were still confused, Dian Wei's cold voice was already coming slowly: "You can't go to Zuichun Mansion anymore, but I'll give you a good time!" ”

"Huh!" There was a bang, and the soldier didn't have time to turn his head. It's already a head.

At this moment, the Ice and Fire War Halberd had already been taken into Dian Wei's hands, and he glanced apologetically at the soldiers on the ground, and without hesitation, he roared wildly: "Kill!" ”

This killing word is really like thunder, resounding in the sky......

In an instant, everything changed in the eyes of the city gate guards. The people who had just been docile suddenly became gods of killing. One by one, they were holding war knives, and their eyes were cold. Act fast. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers standing guard outside the city gate were slaughtered, and they had already rushed across the drawbridge to the city gate. Dian Wei fell last, and rushed in without hurrying, and poured a thousand catties of ice and fire halberd in his hand, "Smack!" Syllable! Syllable! "Cut off the ears of the wooden drawbridge that were being pulled by the chains, and the chains lost their pulling force, dragging the screeching sound of friction against the city walls.

At this moment, the entire Wancheng shook, the alarm bell rang wildly, the chaotic footsteps, and the roar of the assembled soldiers were deafening! Although Dian Wei was dressed in civilian clothes, his power was undiminished, the ice and fire halberd was invincible, and the city gate was noisily controlled in his hands. And Zhou Zhi, who heard the movement outside the city, did not hesitate, and together with the soldiers, he tore off the coarse cloth that wrapped the horse's hooves and the horse's mouth, waved his spear, and led five personal guards to kill from everywhere and run wildly to Wancheng. Farther in the mountains and forests, Wang Meng, who had already received Zhou Zhi's instructions, was even more excited, leading seven thousand cavalry to rush out and gallop towards Wancheng.

The generals who stayed in Wancheng were Liu Pan, Kuai Liang and a group of ministers, Liu Biao also left more than 20,000 people to garrison, plus Wancheng had extremely sufficient money, food and materials, which could be used by his army for two years, which was all his foundation, and it was conceivable how difficult it was to capture. But at this moment, it is so fragile, the soldiers on duty in the southern city wall can't regain the right to control the city gate at all, the battle area here is narrow, Dian Wei led two hundred elites to rush left and right, see people kill people, see ghosts kill ghosts, no one can rush over at all.

Just when the high-level leaders in Wancheng had not yet reacted, Zhou Zhi had already led a thousand guards to kill, rushing straight into the city through the wide open city gate, and the chaotic Nanyang soldiers and horses scattered and fled. Originally, seeing that there were few people, many generals still had the heart to resist and eat away more than 1,000 people. But it didn't take long for them to forget, and seven thousand knights rushed to the scene and slowly appeared in Wancheng's field of vision. The sound of galloping horses' hooves and the roar in unison made the Wancheng soldiers collapse in an instant.

was killed by 10,000 cavalry into the city, but Nanyang's soldiers and horses were scattered on the surrounding city walls, and even more were resting in the camp, how to resist? The people who had heard the alarm had long since returned home, and the doors of every house were closed, and both merchants and vendors hid in their homes and did not dare to take the lead. The Jingzhou sergeants scattered and fled, surging out of the city gates, you know, being rushed into the city by the enemy, without preparation, no matter how many defenders are dead, this is the common sense of soldiers. Because that's not a fight, it's a massacre!

When Liu Pan hurriedly put on his battle armor and led Liu Biao's family to escape from the North City Gate under the escort of his personal guards, Zhou Zhi was already guarding the North City Gate. Sitting on the edge of the city wall, gently wiping the blood stains on the snake spear, he smiled without raising his head and asked, "General Liu, what do you want to do if you are in such a hurry?" This general is a guest from afar, and your Excellency doesn't entertain him, so why do you avoid it? ”

"Dog thief! Dog thief! Liu Pan's eyes were split, knowing that he couldn't get rid of it, so he scolded loudly.

"Am I a dog thief?" Zhou Zhi snorted coldly and said leisurely: "You attacked my homeland, how can I still become a dog thief when I fight back?" ”

After speaking, his clear eyes looked at Liu Pan deeply, and he said for a long time: "Forget it!" General Liu, you and I are both understanding people, so there is no need to talk nonsense. You can't leave this time, Liu Jingsheng's family can't go, and none of Nanyang's Wenchen generals can go. No one can leave except the fleeing soldiers! (To be continued.) )
