Chapter 92: The city of Jian'an County is broken
The raging fires outside the three walls of Jian'an County illuminated the entire city, and the stone paint set the corpses on fire, and the corpses burned out the corpse oil and added fuel to the fire again... The fire grew bigger and bigger, but the walls became fragile under the fire.
The Taishou of Jian'an County flew a pigeon again and sent a message to the wine maniac: "Brother Wine Maniac, the Jian'an County City for my brother is about to be broken, and at most it will last until noon tomorrow, can you send a fleet to the Jian'an River to meet you?" ”
The drunkard received an immediate reply: "Lord Taishou, the younger brother will arrive at Jian'an County at noon tomorrow, and the subordinate sailor fleet is already at the mouth of the sea, and he will be able to go outside the dock of Jian'an County tomorrow morning." Please hold on to my arrival brother! ”
The fire lasted all night, and thousands of corpses were also burned to ashes by the fire, flying up and scattering, and the ashes were scattered.
The next morning, in the sky, dark clouds were thick, ticking... Tick... A few drops of rain the size of soybeans fell to the ground, leaving a trail of water.
"Tick..."
"Tick..."
The raindrops became heavier and heavier, more and more intense, and after a while, the rain poured down like a torrential down, and the fire was extinguished, and the fiery walls and land that had been burned by the fire were poured by the rain, and a vast amount of water vapor rose.
Captain of Jian'an County: "Lord Taishou, the fire is out!" It is estimated that the Yellow Turban Thief will be killed soon! What should I do? ”
"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth!" Taishou shook his head helplessly: "Brother Drunkard is already on the way, and you can reach Jian'an County today!" We just have to stick to it for one day! ”
"No! The subordinates will arrange it. ”
Peng Tuo, deputy leader of the White Wave Army of the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Baitai, general and military advisor of the White Wave Department of the Yellow Turban Army, and Hu Cai, general of the White Wave Army of the Yellow Turban Army, were discussing in the camp at this time.
Peng Tuo sat on the main seat with a golden knife: "Military Division, Jian'an County has been attacking for many days, and our soldiers have suffered heavy losses, can you give up and attack other cities first?" ”
The military advisor touched his goatee: "No, this city is the top priority of Jian'an County, as long as you take this city, the entire county town of Jian'an will be at your fingertips!" The city was rich in grain and grass. ”
"General Hu Cai, today you personally led the soldiers to attack the city! Concentrate on attacking one side, and arrange ambushes on the other two roads! ”
"No, my subordinates will arrange it!"
Outside the south gate, the mighty Yellow Turban Army launched a charge again, carrying shoddy siege equipment, wearing rags and clothes, holding broken copper and iron and even farm tools, and killed the Jian'an County City.
"Kill!"
The sound of killing shook the sky, and Taishou looked at this group of yellow turban thieves who were far behind in weapons and equipment but were not afraid of death, and cold sweat broke out in his palms unconsciously.
"What is it that makes these farmers desperate? Zhang Jiao's demon actually has such a ability, and there are yellow turban thieves everywhere in the entire Han Empire! ”
After a few days of confrontation, Jian'an County Taishou was frightened by the madness of the Yellow Turban Thief, he had never seen such a crazy army, and he was not afraid of death despite his life!
"Crossbowman, prepare!"
Seeing that Taishou was distracted, the governor of Jian'an County immediately gave an order.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Although many of them are ordinary people who have not been trained to bow and shoot arrows, the yellow turban thieves under the wall are densely packed, and they can shoot one with their eyes closed.
A few waves of arrows took away a lot of Yellow Turban thieves, but the pace of the attack still couldn't be stopped! Not long after, the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city, and the siege ladder was once again erected on the city wall.
After being burned by the fire, the city wall was drenched in heavy rain, and the city wall was already in danger, and if the Yellow Turban Army hit the city wall, the city wall was expected to collapse soon.
Hu Cai, general of the Yellow Turban Army: "Crash together!" Attack the gates and walls! ”
Immediately, several improvised crash cars were grunted to the city walls and gates by the Yellow Turbans.
Seeing this, Taishou said: "Quick! Stop the crash cars from crashing into the city gates and walls! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
Contrary to expectations, the Yellow Turbans' crash still crashed into the city wall.
There was a loud "bang", and the masonry dust on the city wall fell one after another.
The guards on the city walls only felt their feet shake, like an earthquake!
"Bang bang bang...", after several successive crashes, a crack opened in the city wall.
Taishou shook his head and sighed: "Hey! Unexpectedly, a fire in exchange for a night of time, but the city wall was burned down! Regret should not be! ”
"My lord, the city wall is about to fall, retreat!"
Taishou was dragged away by the lieutenant and rushed down the city wall towards the city.
After another thud, the walls were overwhelmed and fell to the ground with a splash of dust. Then the Yellow Turbans rushed in with a shout of killing.
"Jian'an County is finished!" Taishou beat his chest and sighed: "Hey, what should I do?" ”
"My lord, let's use the terrain to fight in the streets, and buy more time!"
"That's all there is to it!" Taishou drew his long sword and retreated while fighting with the Yellow Turban Army.
How could the enemy be outnumbered, the Taishou and the city guards were forced to retreat to the city wall by the river when they were defeated and retreated, and the entire Jian'an County basically fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.
Lord Taishou looked at the thousands of soldiers left around him, and said helplessly: "Go, exit Jian'an County and go to the territory of drunkards!" ”
However, as soon as he exited Jian'an County, he was surrounded by groups, and the boat at the dock had long since disappeared, and it seemed that he had been dragged away by the Yellow Turban Army!
"Soldiers, there is no way to retreat, then we will be on the battlefield in blood, and we will die vigorously in five steps with blood! Kill! ”
"Taishou-sama, you devour Look! The wine word banner "Du Wei grabbed Taishou and pointed downstream!"
Seeing this, Taishou said: "Hahaha... Heaven will not kill me! Soldiers, we are saved, reinforcements are coming! Resist the attacks of the Yellow Turbans and hold out until reinforcements arrive! ”
Zhou Tai saw that the Taishou of Jian'an County was besieged at the dock, and immediately ordered to speed up, and soon came to the dock and began to condescendingly shoot the Yellow Turban with a bow and arrow.
Taishou and his subordinates also retreated while fighting, slowly approaching Zhou Tai's warship.
"Lord Taishou, I am Zhou Tai, and my lord drunken general ordered me to come to the aid by water! The loss came in time, and it lived up to the order of the lord! ”
"Thank you! General Zhou, where is your father-in-law? ”
"My lord, my lord has also arrived outside the city of Jian'an County, marched by land, brought the main force of more than 30,000 people, and formed an encirclement from the other three roads!"
Taishou saw that the warship had left the shore, and immediately stopped: "That's very good! Let's kill him immediately with a return carbine! ”
"That's what I mean! But it's not the right time, my father-in-law has his own arrangements, and I ask my lord to retire first. ”
"Okay!" Lord Taishou responded helplessly.
"Speed up the retreat! Shake off the enemy's wretched ships! ”
"Hey... Hey... Hey, hey, hey..."
The sailors immediately shouted loud slogans, accelerated down the river and headed for the sea.
Peng Tuo, deputy leader of the White Wave Army of the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Baitai, general and military advisor of the White Wave Department of the Yellow Turban Army, and Hu Cai, general of the White Wave Army of the Yellow Turban Army, were toasting together at the official residence of Jian'an County at this time.
Peng Tuo: "Come, military advisor, General Hu Cai, I respect the two!" It all depends on the two to be able to win Jian'an County! ”
Hu Cai: "Leader, subordinates don't dare to be, it all depends on the leader's strategy, the whimsy of the military advisors and the bravery of the soldiers!" ”
"Haha... Good! Don't be proud of your achievements! I will definitely ask the great sages and good teachers for your credit! Come, drink wine and eat meat! ”
After the Yellow Turban Army captured the city of Jian'an County, they began to sweep the official gentry and wealthy families in the city, exterminating one family after another, and the collected grain, grass and property were transported to the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion of Jian'an County in a truckload.
This Yellow Turban Army is not bad, it did not burn, kill, and plunder ordinary people, but the most damaged are those wealthy families of officials and gentry who have status, status and wealth.
Peng Tuo was also not an ordinary person, and immediately began to arrange defenses after entering the city, so as to prevent the officers and soldiers from counterattacking.
The military advisor Guo Baitai began the propaganda of Taiping Taoism and began to attract the people in the city to join Taiping Taoism.
In one afternoon, Jian'an County was restored to its orderly appearance, and if it weren't for the bloodstains on the ground, the collapse of the city walls, and the traces of the war, no one would believe that they had just experienced the war!
Liu Da watched all this happening in Jian'an County and reported it to the alcoholics.
"It seems that Peng Tuo is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and he is also different from other Yellow Turban thieves, and he actually doesn't take anything from the people when he enters the city! It seems that this person is not easy to deal with! After reading the letter, the drunkard handed it to the military advisor Xi Zhicai.
After reading the letter sent by Liu Da, Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, if this person can be used by the lord, then the great thing can be done!" However, the subordinates felt that this person was ambitious, and it was impossible to easily agree to cooperate with the lord! ”
"Yes! He should still have a special unit that is not used, and we should not underestimate him! Be cautious tonight! ”
"No!" (To be continued)
