Chapter 155: Capturing Zang Ba
Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui rode straight in, and the narrow terrain of the street battle made their force play to the fullest, and they slashed dozens of Langya defenders in a row, and the enemy was terrified!
The defenders of Langya City did not expect that the city gate would be attacked by free players in the city, so they did not set up horses, antlers and knife carts on the streets, and as a result, the cavalry of Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui galloped through the city and was invincible!
Chu Tian, who was not very strong, did not rush up and hold back, he patiently waited for Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Liu Sandao and other troops to come and converge.
Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui entered the city to create chaos, the city gate has been taken, and Langya City is like a lamb to the slaughter.
When Zhou Yafu arrived, he saw the smoke billowing and the city gate wide open, knowing that he had already succeeded, and he did not need Chu Tian to issue an order, so he personally led the fine willow camp into the city.
The people of Langya City were panicked, and the doors and windows of civilians were closed. They couldn't have imagined that a large city that had always been safe would be affected by the flames of war, and they didn't expect that Chu Tian would suddenly send troops to attack a large city.
This is a large castle with various fortifications!
"General, the South Gate has been lost! The enemy's cavalry is rapidly approaching the inner city! ”
"Sun Guan, you guard the gates of the inner city! The rest of me will follow me to the outer city and expel the enemy!" ”
Zang Ba held a spear and led 5,000 Xuzhou soldiers and Taishan thieves to fight.
There were originally 20,000 defenders in Langya City, and many defenders in the outer city were at a loss, and in the face of the onslaught of the Xiliu battalion commanded by Zhou Yafu, after hundreds of casualties, they surrendered in batches.
Li Guang held a longbow in his hand and shot the defending generals one after another, leaving the opponent leaderless and demoralized.
Players of the Wolf Guild set fires all over the city, confusing the view and making it impossible for the defenders to determine how many enemies had entered the city, adding to the chaos.
Zang Ba and 2,000 cavalry rushed out of the inner city, and these 2,000 cavalry were his hole cards. Now, cavalry had to be used. Supporting 2,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot archers with one city is already the limit of Langya City.
Zang Ba looked around the city, and the beacons were all over the place, and he didn't know where the enemy's main force was.
The cavalry galloped through the streets and alleys, and a cavalry on the opposite side came to kill him, just in time to bump into Zang Ba.
Xue Rengui's white clothes were stained red by the enemy's blood, and when he saw Zang Ba and a large number of cavalry in the rear, he did not retreat but advanced, and took a small group of cavalry to take the initiative to attack Zang Ba!
"Only two or three hundred cavalry dare to take the initiative to attack!"
Zang Ba held up his spear, clamped the horse's belly, did not dodge or dodge, planning to clash with the two armies and stab Xue Rengui to death!
The sound of horses' hooves made the ground and the surrounding market tremble, and dust spilled from the eaves!
The cavalry of the two armies clashed, Fang Tianhua split the spear, and the power from the halberd made Zang Bahu's mouth numb, and the spear almost got out of his hand!
"How could it be ......"
When the war horses clashed just now, Zang Ba saw Xue Rengui's slightly immature face, he was not very old, but he almost killed him.
Once it grows up in the future, its force may be desperate.
Xue Rengui failed to kill Zang Ba in one go, he had already killed Zang Ba's rear, and kept slashing Zang Ba's cavalry!
Ordinary cavalry is rarely the enemy of Xue Rengui!
Xue Rengui's SS characteristic "Champion and Brave Three Armies" was stimulated, and the halberd fell, and the light cavalry was beheaded by Xue Rengui!
In the narrow alleys, the only thing that can stop him is his own physical limitations.
When the general's stamina is exhausted, his strength will temporarily decrease.
After Xue Rengui killed dozens of people in a row, his state had no downward trend, and the more he killed, the more courageous he became, and he was unstoppable.
The two thousand light cavalry were blocked by Xue Rengui and a small number of Xiacheng cavalry, and the cavalry in the rear did not have time to restrain the galloping war horses, knocking down the cavalry in front, and for a while people turned on their backs.
Taking advantage of the terrain, Xue Rengui and two or three hundred cavalry actually blocked two thousand cavalry.
Zang Ba broke through Xue Rengui's cavalry, killed two or three hundred cavalry, and stabbed several Xiacheng cavalry to death.
However, the cavalry behind him was blocked.
Just as Zang Ba was about to kill the horse pistol, a flying general came, and the horse lance stabbed directly at Zang Ba!
Zang Ba's head was blank, and he dodged to one side with instinct, and the sharp horse lance pierced Zang Ba's shoulder armor!
In order to avoid this move, Zang Ba rolled off his horse, holding his injured shoulder with his right hand.
He looked up and saw a female general holding a long lance, the sharp horse lance against his chest, the sunlight refracted by the blade was a little dazzling.
"You're already my captive."
Hua Mulan didn't know Zang Ba, but when she saw Zang Ba's gorgeous armor, she knew that the other party must be a general.
Zang Ba was a little unwilling, his attention was on Xue Rengui, who had just fought with him, but he was raided by Hua Mulan who was killed from the rear and became a prisoner.
Head-to-head, he still has some confidence that Mulan is not necessarily his opponent.
Li Guang marched in another street in the city with the Shooting Battalion, missing the chance to capture Zang Ba.
If Chu Tian compares the luck of Mulan and Li Guang, he will know how bad Li Guang's luck is.
Several light cavalry dismounted, captured Zang Ba, and tied up five flowers.
Zang Ba struggled unresentfully, seemingly dissatisfied with being taken prisoner.
However, in front of Mulan's horse lance, Zang Ba could only give in helplessly.
If he is stabbed in the front by a horse lance, he will be stabbed to death by Mulan.
Zang Ba was captured, and the two thousand cavalry were attacked by Xue Rengui and one horse, and they were routed. The 3,000-foot archers in the rear found that the cavalry had been routed, so they fled back to the inner city.
"My lord, the generals are leading their troops to advance towards the inner city, and there are about 10,000 defenders in the outer city, most of whom have surrendered."
Chutian entered the city with the guards and Goguryeo heavy cavalry.
With more than 8,000 people to capture Langya City, which has 20,000 defenders, he will officially own the county of Kaiyang County!
The outer city was filled with black smoke, and there were still shouts of killing, and some of the Tarzan thieves tried to resist stubbornly.
Zang Ba's army was more complex, with both professional soldiers he recruited and fierce Tarzan thieves. Instead, it was the Xuzhou soldiers who recognized the official position of the lieutenant of Kaiyang County in Chutian, and it was the Taishan thieves who resisted violently.
Langya City is a large city, divided into the inner city and the outer city, the inner city also has the Taishan thief head Sun Guan led the troops to resist, closed the city gate, and defended to the death.
The outer city was gradually occupied by Chutian, and various troops surrounded the inner city.
Liu Sandao led a team of soldiers to patrol the streets, and there were also free players from the Wolf Guild to help control Langya City, sharing the pressure on Chu Tian, who was overstretched.
Fang Xuanling followed Chutian, and they were about to enter Langya City and officially become a small prince of Xuzhou.
"Does the military advisor think that Langya City is better as the base, or is it better to use Xia City as the base?"
"I privately think that the location of Xia City is better, and the lord can move part of the population of Langya City to Xia City, and then annex Langya City in the future and merge into a giant city."
Fang Xuanling's proposal was to merge the two cities, and merge Langya City with Xia City. When the two large cities merge, they will form a giant city.
"There is also the inner city that has not been taken down, and we cannot take it lightly."
Chu Tian looked at the towering inner city, he had to capture the inner city before the other Taishan thieves arrived.
Sun Guan, the leader of the Taishan thieves, walked anxiously on the city wall. He learned from the soldiers who returned to the inner city from the rout that Zang Ba was nowhere to be found, and it was likely that he had become a prisoner of the enemy.
"What should I do? Surrender them, or hold on and wait for the other brothers to come to their aid? The fortification of the inner city is that without ten days and half a month, the other party will not be able to capture it at all. ”
Sun Guan still has 7,000 people in his hands, and the scale of the inner city is not large, so it is not difficult to defend the inner city.
The fine willow battalion, the shooting sound battalion, and the Xuzhou infantry archers were arrayed under the inner city and prepared to attack the inner city.
Chu Tian took Fang Xuanling to the inner city to watch the battle.
The inner city wall is eight meters high, like a moat, cutting off both the attack and the defender.
"Prepare for a storm."
Chu Tian was ready to sacrifice most of his life to take Langya City, and he couldn't give any time for the other forces in Xuzhou to react.
"Maybe you don't have to storm it."
Fang Xuanling saw that the cavalry led by Mulan had tied up a general, and he could probably guess the identity of the other party - even if the other party was not Zang Ba, it could be Sun Guan.
Taking advantage of the intimate relationship between the Tarzan bandits to persuade them to surrender can reduce many casualties.
Being reminded by Fang Xuanling like this, Chu Tian noticed that Mulan had captured a general.
But Mulan didn't take it seriously.
If you think about it carefully, there are really many generals who died or were injured under Mulan's hands.
Zhang Liang, Zhang Min, Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi, and now Zang Ba.
Compared with Mulan's military exploits, the unlucky Li Guang has not yet killed or shot historical generals.
Different people's luck is really different.
Chu Tian looked at the captive.
[Name]: Zang Ba
[Level]: 85
[Status]: Minor injury
[Description]: Tao Qian's cavalry captain, one of the leaders of the Taishan thieves.
Mulan unintentionally captured Zang Ba......
"Zang Ba, why don't you surrender to me, and you will still lose your position as a cavalry lieutenant in the future."
Chu Tian knew that Zang Ba was a fierce general, and after defecting to Cao Cao, he caused a lot of trouble to Eastern Wu, and the official was the general of Zhendong of Wei and the ruling Jinwu. His loyalty to Cao Cao is also unquestionable.
If Zang Ba can be subdued, he can be made a pioneer in the future.
If Zang Ba surrenders, he will be the first military general of the Three Kingdoms that he subdues.
There are several Zang Ba and Sun Guan in Taishan who are the most capable of fighting, and some people will rebel repeatedly and cannot be taken in, such as Chang Xuan.
Chu Tian befriended the Mi family, took away Liu Bei's starting capital, and now subdued the Taishan thieves, and can take away Cao Cao's power.
Originally, Chu Tian thought that his "Heavenly Khan's" Wang Ba's qi was leaking and he could easily subdue Zang Ba, but Zang Ba didn't pay attention to Chu Tian at all, but turned his head to the side.
He was not willing to be taken prisoner like this. He always believed that Mulan could only defeat him by sneak attack, and if he went head-to-head, he would not become a captive at all.
It was so difficult to subdue a military general of the Three Kingdoms......
Chu Tian has a luxurious lineup like Hua Mulan, Li Guang, Zhou Yafu, and Xue Rengui under his command, Zang Ba is definitely not a king-level historical general, and Chu Tian doesn't care very much about whether Zang Ba is willing to be loyal.
But he won't release Zang Ba like this.
After all, Zang Ba was a usable historical general, and if it fell into the hands of other players, it would cause a lot of trouble to Chu Tian.
"You persuade the defenders of the inner city to surrender, and I can not blame the past."
Chu Tian failed to surrender, and ordered Zang Ba to persuade the defenders of the inner city to surrender.
Zang Ba still didn't answer.
"Someone, take him to the city, and ask the defenders of the inner city to surrender the city, otherwise the inner city will be breached, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"
Chu Tian was a little annoyed.
It turns out that it is very difficult to subdue a wild general, except for the generals obtained by using the Hero Recruitment Order.
Zang Ba was carried by Li Guang and came to the city wall.
"Lord Cavalry has been captured by the enemy!"
The defenders of the inner city saw Zang Ba who was tied up with five flowers below, and hurriedly informed Sun Guan.
Sun Guan knew that Zang Ba's force was not bad, but he didn't expect to be captured by the other party, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Even the eldest brother was captured, what should I do?" ”
"Surrender and don't kill, otherwise the city will be broken and the chickens and dogs will not stay!"
Li Guang is a ruthless person, if Chu Tianxia orders, he can really slaughter the city.
The slaughter of the city is a threat. It may make the opponent afraid, or it may be counterproductive, making the defenders prefer to die and not give in.
Fang Xuanling reminded Chu Tian in a low voice: "The lord should follow the royal road, if he slaughters the city here, I am afraid that he will lose the hearts of the people." ”
"I'm just angry. Even if he doesn't surrender, I won't really give the order. ”
Chu Tian calmed down. There is a military advisor who reminds you at all times so that you don't make mistakes.
Sun Guan was threatened, and when he saw Zang Ba being captured, he was inclined to surrender.
"My lord, in this case, we can only choose to surrender."
A group of alien disciples who assisted Zang Ba and Sun Guan learned that the outer city had been broken, and they were still instigating Zang Ba to chase the Central Plains not long ago, and at this time they persuaded Sun Guan to surrender.
The dream of chasing the Central Plains was shattered in just two or three days.
And it was Chu Tian, the city lord of Xia City, who broke this dream.
"Open the door, we'...... Surrender! ”
Sun Guan gritted his teeth, he was as unwilling as Zang Ba, but under the pressure of the doorman and the enemy, he finally chose to surrender.
The Xia Cheng army drove straight into the inner city.
As one of the leaders of the thieves of Mount Tai, Sun Guan also became a prisoner of Chutian, bound by thick hemp rope, and tied up with Zang Ba.
Of the 20,000 defenders of Langya City, only more than 1,000 people may have died in battle, and the rest surrendered to Xiacheng.
Now Chu Tian captured two historical generals alive in one go.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan should be second- and third-rate generals.
Only children make choices, and Chutian wants them all. He still didn't give up his plan to subdue Zang Ba and Sun Guan.
Sun Guan is also a talent, after taking refuge in the Wei State, the official to the general Zhenwei, Qingzhou Assassin History.
It is not a problem for these two men to command thousands or 10,000 soldiers and horses.
"Big brother is not willing to surrender, and I will not surrender either."
Sun Guan was also unwilling to surrender to Zang Ba.
For the two tricky guys, Chu Tian had to be temporarily detained.
Chu Tian said to Fang Xuanling with emotion: "I thought that the heroes of the world would enter my world, but I didn't expect that the two Taishan thieves were unwilling to surrender. Is there a good way to do it? ”
Fang Xuanling said: "I privately think that the reason why Zang Ba and Sun Guan are unwilling to surrender is because the lord attacked Langya City, and they were unwilling to lose. If the lord breaks the rest of the Taishan thieves, they will definitely surrender when they see the lord's military strength. ”
"It makes sense."
Chu Tian counted the merits of this time, Xue Rengui killed the most enemies alone, Hua Mulan captured Zang Ba, and Li Guang and Zhou Yafu killed many enemies.
In terms of the size of the credit, it is still Mulan who takes the first credit. Because of the capture of Zang Ba, he was able to persuade Sun Guan to surrender and avoid a difficult battle.
Chu Tian didn't know how to reward Mulan, so he had to make a blank check: "Mulan, move to the captain in the future." ”
