Chapter 416: This New Year's Day Doesn't Stop (13)
On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the city of Anyi was full of joy and activity. People light firecrackers, kill chickens, slaughter sheep and cook cows, and prepare for the New Year's celebration and tomorrow's sacrifice to heaven. Children wear new clothes and shoes, eat food that they can't catch for a year, and play while displaying new clothes and food, adults visit each other to congratulate each other, and make an appointment to drink three cups after tomorrow's sacrifice. Seeing their families busy, the old people happily opened their mouths with few teeth, and thanked God in their hearts for allowing them to spend another year safely.
Suddenly, the jubilant atmosphere in the city changed, and the crowd on the street panicked and rushed home. One by one, they closed the door tremblingly, carefully looking out through the crack in the door.
I saw that the four gates of Anyi were wide open, and four armies entered at the same time. These four armies were all in leather armor, long knives or spears, bows and arrows, and they were dressed in the same way as the army of the Great Han, but for some reason, no one thought that it was the army of the Great Han.
At the city gate in the east of the city, the city gate commander was respectfully saluting a person and carefully accompanying him.
The man was fully armoured, wearing an iron helmet and a long sword at his waist, and he had a sense of not being angry and arrogant just by sitting on his horse.
The captain of the city gate saluted and said respectfully: "The villain has seen the head of the house!" ”
Wei Shu bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Xia Dong, don't be polite!" Hehe, it seems that it is still quite right for me to send you to Hedong County to train for a few years! Yes, now that my body is sturdy, my spirit is also there, and I look like a general! ”
Xia Dong hugged his fists and said: "This is all the great grace of the head of the family, if there is no support from the head of the family, the villain is just a small tenant of the Wei family, and it will never be possible to have today!" ”
Wei Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you can draught and don't forget to dig wells, this is good!" The nearly 50,000 troops trained by my Wei family have been carried out in secret in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, and when Anyi City is stabilized, I will promote you to be a captain. ”
Xia Dong hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Xie family master promoted!" ”
Wei Shu said: "Hehe, hurry up!" Okay, I'll lead the army into the city, and you can watch the city gates. ”
Xia Dong hugged his fists and said: "No! ”
Since Wei Shu became the head of the family, the Wei family has placed many people in the county soldiers of Anyi City, and now many children like Xia Dong have been mixed with positions such as Du Bo and Qu Chang. In addition, the Wei family spent a lot of money to bribe the generals in the county soldiers, and in fact, the four thousand county soldiers in Anyi were completely under the control of the Wei family. In fact, not only the county soldiers, but also many people who are attached to the Wei family, through the protection of the Wei family, hold important positions in Anyi City, and most of the small officials, officials, etc. in Anyi City are members of the Wei family. This is also the main reason why Yishi City and Yancheng obviously have a large number of troops of the Wei family, but they will not attract the attention of Taishou. Together, let's take this too much, he is deaf and blind, and he doesn't know anything!
The Wei family's idea is very good and correct. They first sent people to the county soldiers, let the generals of the county soldiers train them, and after successfully controlling Anyi, with them as the backbone, they can suddenly make the 50,000 troops they trained mature, and their combat power can also increase a lot. Of course, many small officials and officials in Anyi City, and even in Hedong County, will be promoted, and they will be the main official force of the Wei family when they are fighting for hegemony in the world. With them as the backbone, the Wei family will have more talents to rule the occupied areas.
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Shu, Wei Gu, Wei Xian, Wei Kai, Wei Ning and others finally led their troops to surround the Taishou Mansion.
Wei Shu waved his hand, and the army attacked. Half an hour later, the Taishou family, and hundreds of soldiers and servants were all killed.
The Wei family walked into the Taishou Mansion, although the blood was a little choking all over the place, but no one felt uncomfortable. The Wei family's road to heaven has finally begun!
Wei Shu'an sat on the throne of the Taishou Mansion, looked around at several brothers and nephews, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Kai, Wei Xian listens to orders!" ”
The two clasped their fists and said, "No! ”
Wei Shu said: "The two of you immediately notify the heads of all the big clans in Anyi, as well as the personnel above the military Sima in the army, to come to the meeting!" If there are disobedient people, there will be no forgiveness! ”
Wei Xian and the others clasped their fists and shouted: "No! ”
With that, the two turned and strode out of the hall.
There was a great chaos in Anyi City, and the patriarchs of each family were either active or passive, escorted to Taishou Mansion by the Wei family's army. Some of their families were happy, others were crying. There is no way, looking at the situation, the Wei family is ready to start an incident, and if they have a good relationship with the Wei family, they naturally want to go further, and if they have a bad relationship with the Wei family, they are naturally afraid of the Wei family's retaliation.
The generals who controlled 400 or more people in the county soldiers and the people in the Weijia army also rushed to the Taishou Mansion one after another under the escort of the personal guards within a short time after receiving the notice. For the generals in the county army, they are worried, they have taken a lot of benefits from the Wei family on weekdays, and they are at ease, because they take special care of the people sent into the army by the Wei family. But at this time, they were worried, who knew if the Wei family would settle accounts after the autumn and spit out their own things? Also, many Wei family members are waiting for promotion, can they still keep their positions?
When they entered the Taishou Mansion, in the two courtyards a hundred steps away from the east gate of Anyi City, hundreds of big men were wearing armor and sharpening knives, preparing to kill.
In the Taishou Mansion, there is no such thing as killing people and standing in power as many people imagine, because the dozens of heads of the Taishou family in the Taishou Mansion have already scared many people into.
Wei Shu just said, follow me in the future, eat and drink spicy!
So, everyone was honest and relieved! Then, Wei Shu gave an order, and countless wines and delicacies were brought up by the soldiers, and everyone began to celebrate. At the beginning, people who were not descendants of the Wei family were still a little restrained, but after three glasses of wine, everyone suddenly relaxed, and the whole hall was full of yearning for a better future and flattery to the Wei family.
Wei Xian is the best martial artist among the nephews of the Wei family, and among these people, he has become a person with the courage of Fan Xu. Wei Kai is the highest Chinese talent among the nephews of the Wei family, and is naturally praised as Zhang Liang and his ilk. As for Wei Shu, needless to say, the ancestral General Wei Qing is his best example, and people are amazed to find that Wei Shu has Wei Qing's ability!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, the sycophants are like a tide, and the Wei family is as comfortable as the most critical seconds on the couch, the whole thing is fluttering, wanting to die, I don't know where I am.
When the Wei family was stunned by the photograph, Cao Chun finally came!
The soldiers traveled 230 miles in one day and one night, and 50 of them were covered with snow and ice. However, Cao Chun had no way to let them rest more, because the war was about to begin!
Outside Anyi City, under the leadership of a general of the Sima family, they rested for a quarter of an hour, ate some dried meat and drank some water, and immediately went to the east gate of Anyi City!
Outside the city, the horses' hooves were like drums, how could the soldiers in the city not hear? They immediately rushed to their respective positions, drew their bows and arrows, and prepared to meet the enemy. However, when all the officers in their army who could command more than 400 men went to drink, how could they have an effective organization? The soldiers listened to the orders of many soldiers and commanders, and they were busy with the orders of many soldiers and commanders, and they were busy with one moment to go here, one time to get there, one moment to bend bows and arrows, one moment to cook oil in the fire, and one moment to carry rolling wood and stack stones, but there was no real effect.
Finally, Cao Chun gave an order, and two thousand foot soldiers launched an attack on the city. It is said that it is a siege, but in fact, everyone is just standing two hundred steps away, holding up swords and guns and shouting, which looks scary, but has no practical effect. Even, Cao Jun didn't even bring a drum, there was no drum, only the sound of screaming.
The soldiers in the city are relieved, there is not even a ladder to attack the city, how can this battle be fought? Don't worry, they looked at poor Cao Jun, and couldn't help but tear a handful of sympathy, Cao Jun, it's too shabby!
Cao Chun is not stupid, he let so many troops scream but not attack the city, in fact, this is a signal.
When the voices of these thousands of people converged, they could be heard for several miles, and the four hundred people in the two compounds in the east of the city immediately began to act.
They poured out of the courtyard, lined up in the streets, and after the command of the leader, they rushed to the east of the city and the city walls. Elite, just by the action and pace, as well as their cold eyes, you can see that they are well-deserved elite!
When they reached the edge of the urn city, the leader led 300 men to kill the city wall, and the other 100 went straight to the cave of the city gate.
There was a great chaos on the city wall, the county soldiers were negligent in training, and there was no command at this time, and they were still attacked from behind, how could they resist?
Especially the person headed by the enemy, that person has a hideous face, roars again and again, a knife in his hand, white light is like a match, the knife takes people's lives, and there is no enemy under his hands. With just one contact, these three hundred people had already rushed to the city gate. After killing the soldiers on the gatehouse, a hundred men blocked the entrances on both sides of the gatehouse, while the others rushed to the winch.
When the defeated soldiers saw this, they immediately understood their intentions, and one of the soldiers shouted: "Brothers, if they open the drawbridge, then everything is over!" Follow me! ”
When the soldiers heard this, they hurriedly yelled and followed. However, the terrain was narrow, and the advantage of their large number of people could not be reflected, and they were blocked by the other party's elite, and they couldn't attack it at all, leaving countless corpses.
At this time, the sound of the winch on the gate tower "squeaking" came, the sound of the iron chain "clattering and squeaking" came immediately, and the suspension bridge was slowly descending.
The county soldiers couldn't help but be in a hurry, roaring and ordering the soldiers to attack, but there was no effect, and the county soldiers could only practice qigong five steps away with trepidation, hoping that their eyes could kill each other!
Under the city, the 100 Cao soldiers rushed into the cave of the city gate, and after a wild slash, they were ready to open the city gate. Cao Jun asked 50 people to block the hole in the city gate to prevent the other party from attacking, and the remaining 20 of them struggled to remove the latch and open the city gate.
Finally, the drawbridge fell to the ground with a "clang", and the city gate was opened with the efforts of twenty soldiers.
Cao Chun, who was in the distance, saw it and shouted: "Brothers, after entering the city, the cavalry will be divided into small units of 100 people, and I will completely disperse the enemy army into a formed army, and the infantry brothers, listen to Guo Huai's command and kill the enemy for me!" ”
Cao Bing roared, the cavalry took the lead, the infantry held back, and rushed to the cave of the city gate.
Cao Chun shouted when he was a hundred paces away: "Guo Huai, the foot soldiers listen to your command!" Give me a good performance, and I'll give you credit! ”
In the city, the leader of the Cao soldiers who put the drawbridge and opened the city gate hugged his fists and said: "No! Thank you, General! ”
