Chapter 33: Raid on Kaiyang

The third group of men and horses arranged by Wang Ping was a thousand sailors from the Haiyuan led by Zhao Yun, and these 1,000 people had already sailed north before dawn, and they would go around Kaiyang County from the sea to mess up Zang Ba's base camp, so as to force Zang Ba to retreat.

Donghai City and Langxie County are very close to each other in a straight line on the sea, and they will be on the shore at noon after a smooth journey.

At this time, Zhao Yun was standing on the deck looking at the servants of the Mi family who were disembarking one after another, thinking about the next step in his heart.

Langxi County is only fifty or sixty miles apart in the northeast of Kaiyang County, and it only takes three hours to reach it in a hurry, but the target of more than 1,000 people is too big and easy to be discovered by scouts.

Zhao Yun and Mi Ji discussed, it really couldn't be done, so they could only divide their troops and move forward.

A hundred men were left to guard the ten large ships, and all the rest were disguised as caravans and marched in three directions.

These people often come here to trade, and they can't be familiar with the terrain, so they don't need any guides at all.

The luck of this long-range sneak attack team was too good, and the passers-by led by Mi Ji encountered a caravan from Langxi County in the middle of the road, and when they inquired, it turned out to be a team that sent salt to the Kaiyang army.

Mi Ji lied that his team was also delivering goods to Kaiyang, but it was a weapon, and the Mi family was a giant in the business community of Xuzhou, and the leader of this team not only did not doubt the words of the dean of the Haiyuan, but also took the initiative to invite them to accompany him.

Mi Ji thought that if he could sneak into Kaiyang County, he would be able to kill him by surprise, and then he would definitely be able to force Zang Ba to retreat if he seized the county seat.

Thinking of this, he sent someone to tell Zhao Yun his thoughts, and these three hundred people told him to break up and blend into the caravan.

It's just that these three hundred people will arrive later than those two groups because they are moving with the caravan, which leaves Zhao Yun and Mi Ji a lot of time to prepare.

On the way, Zhao Yun followed the messenger to the caravan, and after discussing with Mi Ji, he decided to follow him into the city, and their goal was the granary in the city.

In order to succeed more easily, Zhao Yun also arranged a clever plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

By the time this caravan mixed with Mijia sailors arrived at the north gate of Kaiyang County, it was already early afternoon. Zhao Yun saw that the guards at the north gate were sparse and sparse, but there were only one or two hundred people, and he could do great things.

It was not the first time that the leader of the caravan had delivered goods to Kaiyang, and he was let go after handing over a string of copper coins to the little colonel guarding the city gate.

It's just that the caravan has a lot of goods, and the city gate is narrow, so it can only be entered in a long queue in turn, and the leader of the caravan walks into the ranks to direct the convoy.

In order not to make the caravan leader suspicious, Mi Ji also sent a string of copper coins to the guard colonel, and whispered to the little school: "Every time you have to trouble the military master, this copper coin is the wine money that our head specially gave you." ”

The daily money collected by the small school has to be divided equally with his subordinates, and when he saw that this team of people gave two pieces of money, he happily praised Mi Ji for being sensible.

The leader of the caravan saw that the little colonel was very enthusiastic about Mi Ji, and said in his heart that this Mi family can really eat anywhere!

After Zhao Yun and the more than three hundred sailors mixed into the city, the caravan had just entered half of the vehicles.

At this time, more than 100 thieves with sharp blades suddenly rushed from outside the city, and the guard colonel was so frightened that he closed the city gate.

Before the soldiers in the city could react, the more than 100 thieves snatched dozens of trucks that were locked outside the city.

These more than 100 thieves were pretended to be the Mi family sailors, and they had received instructions from Zhao Yun before, and when they saw their own people sneaking into the city, they would take action to loot the supplies.

As soon as he entered the city, he asked the colonel guarding the gate for help, saying that these were the materials of the Kaiyang army, and he hoped to send soldiers to snatch them back.

At this time, Mi Ji found the leader of the caravan in time and told him that although some of the vehicles were robbed, they had to be transported into the city as soon as possible, and the regeneration of the province was in trouble, and after speaking, he shouted three hundred people to help push the cart.

Zang Ba took away 20,000 elite soldiers, and now there are less than 3,000 defenders left in Kaiyang County, and the remaining general is Sun Guan, Sun Guan and Zang Ba both have the title of cavalry captain sealed by the imperial court, so his subordinates call him Sun Duwei.

When the colonel reported the matter of the north gate to Sun Guan, the angry Sun Guan was furious, he was originally a thief in Taishan, but today he was robbed of the goods by others, how to swallow this evil anger in his heart.

got up and put on leather armor and led more than 1,000 people out of the north gate, seeing that this posture was not broken, the thief village swore not to give up.

Although Sun Guan was reckless, he also knew the importance of city defense, so he divided the remaining 2,000 soldiers into four city gates to strengthen the guard.

When Sun Guan led the troops out of the north gate, Zhao Yun and the others happened to be unloading the goods in the granary, and more than 100 people helped push the cart into the granary, which ignited the fire they were carrying.

The grain depot was already dry, and the fire was raging in just a moment.

When the soldiers guarding the granary saw the fire, they rushed in to put out the fire, but they were attacked by more than 300 people from the Mi family and lost their lives.

After solving the guards here, Zhao Yun led three hundred people straight to the north gate.

The north gate was closest to the granary, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly ran down the city wall to prepare for the fire when they saw the fire.

Just caught up with Zhao Yun's team, Zhao Yun took the lead in killing people without waiting for the other side to react, there were hundreds of people in the north gate, and they were not Zhao Yun's opponents, plus these soldiers didn't bring weapons in order to fight the fire, and they were quickly killed.

After Zhao Yun rushed to the city wall and killed all the guards, he opened the city gate and brought in the five hundred people hiding outside the city.

He left Miji to guard the north gate, and he himself led five hundred men into the city to attack the other four gates.

It is difficult to storm the city from the outside without a siege weapon, but it is much easier to storm from the inside.

It is easy to occupy the east gate with Zhao Yun, a congenital master, to fight fast and slow, and when they come to the south gate, there are no defenders here, standing on the city wall, you can still see the soldiers who are rushing outside the city, maybe they saw the fire in the city, and saw Zhao Yun leading the troops to kill, thinking that the city was broken, so they just fled for their lives.

There weren't many people at Simon either, and the soldiers here didn't flee but went to the granary in the city to put out the fire.

Quickly solve the four city gates, and Sun Guan will not be able to return to the city.

And Sun Guan has been chasing for more than ten miles before he found that there was a fire in the city, and he shouted that it was not good and quickly led the troops back to the city.

It's just that when they returned to the north gate, it had already been occupied by Miji. By the time Sun Guan came to the east gate, Zhao Yun had already captured the west gate, and he was slow step by step. Sun Guan circled around Kaiyang County and failed to enter the city.

He looked at the towering city wall and knew in his heart that Kaiyang was over.

After Zhao Yun eliminated the last group of soldiers in the city, he went to the north gate to meet Mi Ji.

At this time, Sun Guan already knew that the person who attacked was Mi Ji of Mi Jiahai Courtyard, so he insulted and shouted outside the city, Mi Ji ignored him at first, and waited for Zhao Yun to come before asking if he could go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Mi Ji said: "This Sun Guan is the number two person in the Kaiyang Army, and I heard that he is also a congenital master, can Brother Zhao be sure to beat him?" ”

Zhao Yunxin wanted to be able to capture Sun Guan, and there would be more bargaining chips to persecute Zang Ba, so he asked Mi Ji to open the city gate and he was going to meet Sun Guan.

After this battle, the children of the Mi family who followed Zhao Yun were all shocked by Zhao Yun's skills, but Sun Guan was a congenital master, and they were afraid that Zhao Yun would lose something, so they stepped forward to dissuade him and said, now that Kaiyang has been occupied, don't worry about Sun Guan.

Zhao Yun said modestly: "Don't worry, I'll go out to fight that person, if I can win, I will capture him, if I can't beat him, I won't entangle with him, it shouldn't be much of a problem to protect myself and return to the city." ”

When they heard his words, they were not sure of victory, and they were even more worried about him, and they all stood guard at the city gate and prepared to meet him.

Zhao Yunli stuck his spear on the ground outside the city, and shouted at Sun Guan: "Now that I have left the city, the enemy generals dare not come and fight with me alone, is there only an incompetent person who has good kung fu in words?" ”

Sun Guan scolded for a while and saw that someone finally came out, but when he saw that it was a young man, he didn't want to do anything with him, and just wanted to send his subordinates forward, but he heard Zhao Yun sarcastically that he only dared to move his mouth and did not dare to fight, so angry he slapped his horse and raised his gun and came straight to Zhao Yun.

The children of the Mi family in the city saw Sun Guan rushing on horseback and Zhao Yun did not dodge, they all hurriedly reminded him to dodge quickly, but Zhao Yun never moved.

Seeing that Sun Guan's spear was about to stab him in the chest, Zhao Yun suddenly reached out and grabbed Sun Guan's spear and jumped into the air with his strength, stretched out his feet and kicked Sun Guan's chest horizontally.

Sun Guan originally thought that Zhao Yun was so frightened by his momentum that he didn't dare to move, but he didn't expect that he could still take advantage of the momentum to take off, this body is simple, put away his contempt and hurriedly used his left arm to protect his chest.

But Sun Guan didn't expect that he was still kicked off the horse by this young man, Sun Guan fell to the ground, and the war horse just rushed out, and then saw that Zhao Yun had already picked up the spear inserted in the ground and put it on Sun Guan's neck.

Who would have thought that Sun Guan, who was a congenital master, would be subdued by Zhao Yun with one move! The whole field suddenly froze, and after a few breaths, the city erupted in cheers of victory, while the 1,000 Kaiyang troops on the opposite side turned around and ran.

If Sun Guan is more cautious, he can resist three or five moves, but he is too light on the enemy, and Zhao Yun is too powerful.

After Zhao Yun sealed Sun Guan's meridians, he handed him over to the dozen or so people who were ready to receive him at the city gate.

Then he asked Mi Ji to find a captive and let him go, and let him report to Zang Ba.

It also happened that Mi Ji picked the little colonel who happened to be the gatekeeper, and in order to make him get to Donghai City faster, he also gave Sun Guan's horse to him to ride.

At this time, Zhao Yun was standing on the city tower looking at the sun that was about to set, thinking in his heart that the eldest brother and junior brother must hold on!

The moment the little colonel who reported the news left the city gate, it was the time when Mi Qi was in the arsenal.

And Mi Qi's rebellion would not have succeeded at all even without Wang Ping's deployment, because the head of the Mi family had sent people to secretly monitor them very early.

Therefore, the conspiracy carefully planned by the father and son, in Zang Ba's opinion, is the same whether it is successful or not, and if you want to swallow the Mi family, you have to break through the walls of the East China Sea in the end.

Zang Ba was able to subdue the rebellious Taishan thieves for his own use, and was able to lead them to become one of the four major forces in Xuzhou, which fully shows that he is also a capable person.

At this time, Zang Ba was watching the battle at the west gate of Donghai City in the Chinese army formation, Zang Ba's face was majestic, and the cross scar on the left side of his face added to his fierce temperament.

Zang Ba saw that there were already soldiers on his side who had climbed the city wall, so he pointed to Changba beside him and said, "Storm this place tonight, you take your headquarters to push the car and crash open the city gate!" ”

Changba said excitedly: "It's finally me!" Tonight, the Mi family will be destroyed to avenge the humiliation of the day. ”

There is no good way to forcibly attack the city, that is, to rely on the soldiers to go up, but the defenders of Donghai City are the servants of the Mi family who have not gone through the battle of life and death, so even if Wang Ping led the troops to help the West Gate, these guards were still panicked.

Finally, he was climbed to the city wall by the Kaiyang soldiers, and a hand-to-hand fight was about to begin!
