Chapter 143 Night Operation
Mayi County Ya.
At night, when the lights are held, it can be described as particularly lively. The reason is that Zeng Lian wanted to feast here for Zhang Chao, the general who worshiped Emperor Han Xian.
If it is usual, it is just an official who is in charge of the head of a county, how difficult it is to meet the general of the dynasty, that is, if you want to meet in the capital division, you need to pay a very low price. But now, he is indeed able to entertain the general, and he is still on an equal footing, which makes Zeng Lian, as the master, very proud.
In addition to being happy, Zeng Lian arranged more wine and meat, and at the same time called his capable subordinates, wanting to use this to show his identity.
The generals were still a little curious about the generals who could see the current dynasty. Turning back and passing it out, it is also a kind of boasting capital, and for a while, the young generals who went to the county government were like clouds, and the three large tables that had been arranged were full.
When Zhang Chao brought Guo Jia, Dian Wei and Xu Chu to come, what he saw was the scene of overcrowding.
Seeing that so many people came, and seeing that they were all the leaders of the defenders in Mayi County, Zhang Chaole was happy. Isn't that exactly what you want? When even pulled down the identity of the general, he took the initiative to greet those generals.
Zhang Chao's enthusiasm and such approachability made the leaders of the Mayi garrison overjoyed. originally thought that even if the emperor was a general, he should be on top, but now when he came to himself, he greeted him affectionately and talked, and suddenly everyone felt that his status had been improved.
Just because you're with a multi-millionaire doesn't mean you're a multi-millionaire. You are still yourself, and if you want to be one of them, it depends on your own efforts, not just a meal together and a drink.
Unfortunately, there are not many people who understand this truth. Especially these Mayi defenders who have not seen much of the world, they are completely confused by Zhang Chao's appearance and enthusiasm, and everyone comes over with wine bowls to clink glasses with Zhang Chao, hoping to have a drink, and there will be more conversations with people in the future.
The county government is a lively and harmonious scene. But there was a lot of wind outside, and a great storm was coming.
In front of the gate of the southern city of Mayi County, the thousand light cavalry of the Zhangjia Army camped here had already begun to move, and as soon as the appointed time came, they abandoned the camp and came out, and everyone stood at the gate of the camp with torches, shouting that they were hungry. At this time, just ahead, the 8,000 vanguard army led by Lu Bu and the 5,000 dragon and tiger army led by Zhao Yun had secretly come to the dark city gate and were ready to enter the city at any time.
Inside the city gate, there were also hundreds of Zhang family light riders shouting to open the door.
The Zhang family in the city gate was about to go out of the city, and the name given was to send food to the brothers outside. In order to be able to deceive the city gate, these people also took out a strong fragrance of heroic drunkenness to reward the soldiers of Ma Yi in the city. The guards here also have a few more shining gold in their hands, which were all sent by the Zhang family cavalry just now.
These defenders did not seize the opportunity to drink with Zhang Chao, and they were depressed. Suddenly, there was more good wine, and even more gold and silver in his hands, and they suddenly smiled.
At the head of the city, you can clearly see that Zhang Jiajun outside the city is holding a torch and shouting hunger, all the facts are in front of him, and no one else can not believe it.
"Well said, well said. Even if it is the general's men and horses, how can they starve? In this case, I will go and report to Lord Zeng now, and I will open the city gate for you with permission. Qu Chang, who was in charge of guarding the southern city, said with a smile to a battalion commander of the Zhang family's army.
When the battalion commander heard that this person was going to report the matter to Zeng Lian, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. If you can't deceive the city gate, you have to forcibly rob it, this is Zhang Chao's last order before going to the county yamen. It's just that this is a good idea, and he doesn't want to use this method unless it is absolutely necessary.
Forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, the battalion commander of the Zhang family took out five pieces of gold from his body and handed it over, "This general, everyone is a person in the army, please make it convenient." As I said, there are only a thousand people outside the city, and there are indeed tens of thousands of soldiers in your city, can you still be afraid that we will cause any trouble? ”
"This...", seeing that there were five more gold nuggets, handed over. With these, you can let your family live a very prosperous life, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for many years.
This city guard Qu Chang's status was not high, if it weren't for the fact that several ministers went to the county government for dinner, it would not be his turn to have the final say, and the opportunity to receive gifts like this is even more once-in-a-lifetime, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a second time in my life.
Looking at these golden blooms, he hesitated. The commander of the Zhang family's military camp on the side said again: "General, you go to report to Lord Zeng Lian that there is some time to come and go, and the brothers outside are really hungry." Let's make it easier. We just delivered the food and came back right away. If you are not at ease, you can send someone with us, but if you can't, it will be the same if you send these drinks and food. ”
The battalion commander's words moved the commander of the city guard. I thought that if I arranged for someone to send the food out, there should be no problem. Even if the people above know about it, they will blame it and have a reason to explain it. In this way, he called a subordinate commander who led a team of 100 and asked him to send food out of the city on behalf of the Zhang Jiajun brothers.
The head of the hundred-man team is the commander, and there is another golden bloom in his hand. Seeing such a good errand, he immediately agreed, and beckoned his hundreds of sergeants to take the food from the Zhang family's light cavalry, and then walked towards the outside of the city gate.
Someone had already slowly pushed the south gate open, and the hundred-man team had to send food out.
"Hey, wait, there's some good wine to be sent to the barracks." Seeing that the defenders of Mayi opened the city gate, in order to create more time for the vanguard army and the Dragon and Tiger army, the battalion commander of the Zhang family army smiled and ordered his brothers to move away dozens of heroes and drunk.
The Qu chief, who was about to close the city gate first, saw that there was still something to be delivered, so he called out and asked the city gate to be open for a while, so that the wine was going out to talk.
No sooner had the order been given, and the gates were ajar, than a loud trembling sound suddenly sounded beneath his feet, as if it were a precursor to an earthquake.
"What's going on? What happened? Feeling the tremor under his feet, Qu Chang, who was defending the city, and his generals were in a state of confusion.
However, the battalion commander of the Zhang family, who had been prepared for a long time, felt the tremor coming from his feet, and then smiled on his face, and then suddenly pulled out the saber on his body and said: "Brothers, kill, welcome the army into the city." ”
The hundred brothers of the Zhang Jiajun, who had been ready to make a move for a long time, all drew their swords after shouting, and then slashed at the nearest Mayi defender beside them.
The movements of the Zhang Jiajun brothers were so fast that many of the Mayi defenders did not know what was going on, and they became the ghosts of the sword. The Qu commander also died because he was not in a hurry to react, and was pierced through the heart by the battalion commander. Without the main general, the defenders of Ma Yi were in chaos for a while.
"Open the gates." The battalion commander of the Zhang Jiajun took advantage of the chaos of the other party and shouted loudly. Then dozens of Zhang Jiajun brothers came to the city gate and pushed the heavy city gate to both sides.
"These people are enemies, kill them." After a brief period of confusion, one of the guards of the Mayi garrison reacted, shouted loudly, and led his brothers to lunge towards the Zhangjia army, apparently trying to regain control of the city gates.
It's just that it's too late to do it at this time. It's just a distance of a kilometer, for the cavalry, a charge can be reached, and now outside the city, the vanguard army and the dragon and tiger army have arrived, so it is unstoppable.
"Everyone back down and let the cavalry enter the city." Seeing that the enemy only reacted after a while, the battalion commander of the Zhang Jiajun showed a hint of banter in his eyes, and led people to rush out of the city gate.
Zhang Jiajun's sudden retreat made these Mayi defenders overjoyed, and they thought that the other party was invincible. One by one, they howled and rushed forward. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they bumped into Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, two generals who were riding in.
The two of them charged at the front, as if to confirm who was faster and who was more fierce, and with the help of the BMW under the seat, they actually opened up the distance of nearly 100 meters of the cavalry team behind them.
As soon as these two fierce generals arrived at the gate of the city, what they saw was the scene where the soldiers of the Zhang family army retreated and the defenders of Mayi rushed out.
"Zilong, do you dare to bet with me?" Seeing so many Ma Yi defenders rushing out, Lu Bu's eyes were bright, perhaps in his eyes, these people were no different from lambs to be slaughtered.
"Okay, then let's see how good it is for any of us to kill." Zhao Yun knew what Lu Bu meant, and he didn't have the slightest fear at the moment, and after agreeing, he immediately slapped his horse forward, and the bright silver spear in his hand leaned forward on the spot, and with a stab, a stream of blood rose with it.
"It's so fast, it's up to me next." Lu Bu saw that Zhao Yun had killed someone with this random stab, and he was also awe-inspiring at the moment, waving the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and with a wave of it, two streams of blood rushed out in front of him.
Among the people, Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun, who was full of courage, compared the speed and number of killings, and for a while, all the Ma Yi defenders who blocked in front of them were stabbed to the ground one after another, and no one could stop their sharpness. Even two pawn commanders stepped forward with guns and knives, but they didn't hold out for another round, and they were stabbed to death on the ground.
The martial arts of the two generals completely shocked the courage of the defenders of Mayi, and seeing a companion fall to the ground without the slightest strength to fight back, these people began to have fear in their hearts, and their steps began to retreat continuously...
In the city of Mayi.
The sound of the iron hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry came from under his feet, which made Zeng Lian and his generals who were drinking change their faces.
