Chapter Forty-Eight: The Attack on Quang Binh City
Cui Yan also noticed the abnormality of the Yellow Turban Army, and saw that the defenders in the city had become much more active, no longer looking demoralized, and guessed in his heart that the other party must be using warlocks to improve their morale.
The other party used the warlock so quickly, which Cui Yan never expected, it seems that the general of the Yellow Turban Army defending the city is a decisive person, since this is the case, he also sent the warlock to help, Chen Gong saw that he had an opportunity, and he also took the initiative to ask Ying.
Although the Yellow Turban Warlock in Guangping City was stronger than Cui Yanjun's Warlock, with Chen Gong's spells, the combination of the two of them happened to be able to suppress him.
Watching this battlefield, his army once again gained the upper hand because of the help of the two warlocks, Cui Yan saw that the big haode opportunity appeared in front of him, and he did not hesitate any longer, and immediately increased his forces to directly press Guangping City.
The battlefield is often cruel, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of lives will go with the wind, a panicked, thousands of lives will fall outside the city, even so, the reinforcements who rushed to the city gate still climbed up with a ladder.
After a round of bows and arrows, the reinforcements sent by Cui Yan rushed to the city, and General Lin immediately asked them to change their military form and shoot at the soldiers below, saving arrows as much as possible, so that each arrow could end the enemy's life.
Cui Yan's army continued to attack, and finally the first soldier climbed to the city wall along the ladder, but before he could see the scenery on the city, he was stabbed by many people with spears and fell to the ground.
As the saying goes, there are two of them, this soldier climbed to the city wall is just a signal, and there are many Cui Yan soldiers coming up one after another, although most of them are the same as that person, but some of them dodged the first attack and came to the city wall smoothly.
"Bang~~" The huge impact sound kept ringing, it turned out that the crashing car had been pushed to the city gate by Cui Yanjun, and many soldiers gritted their teeth to use their strength to eat, in order to break through the gate quickly, so they would be considered a great achievement.
As time passed, the war continued, and more and more soldiers climbed the city walls to fight with the Yellow Turbans, almost no harassment from bows and arrows, falling rocks and rolling logs began to decrease, and the soldiers under the city pushed and charged the carts more hard.
At this time, Zhang Fei couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and took the initiative to ask Ying to help attack the city, Liu Bei was not at ease, so he asked him to bring a team of Liu Beijun, but he rushed towards Guangping City first, leaving behind the soldiers.
Seeing a person riding a fast horse over, there were archers on the city wall who hurriedly shot sharp arrows at him, but three or three two arrows could help him, and Zhang Fei swept away with a snake spear in his hand, and was all dropped to the ground.
He rode a fast horse to the gate of the city, and immediately rode his horse's whip, gradually increasing his speed, leaning forward, holding the spear of the snake with both hands, pointing forward, taking a deep breath, holding his breath without exhaling.
A stream of reddish gas gradually wrapped around Zhang Fei's hands to the Zhangba Snake Spear, and the color was still gradually deepening, and the gas was accelerating, and finally a stream of air was generated.
When he came to the city gate, Zhang Fei saw the opportunity and stabbed the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and suddenly heard a huge noise rushing to the sky, which made Cui Yanjun's eardrum next to him hurt and cause him to feel dizzy.
It turned out that Zhang Fei struck hard and stabbed a big hole in the city gate, the diameter was only as wide as a measuring ruler, although Cui Yanjun came back to his senses and saw the hole in the door, he adjusted the crash car and hit the hole.
With just one blow, the broken wood next to the cave entrance began to fall and gradually expanded, and Zhang Fei helped to bounce off the sharp arrows shot by the Yellow Turban archers above to prevent them from interfering with Cui Yanjun.
After a few collisions, the gate began to crack, and seeing that Guangping City was gradually unable to hold, General Lin decided to change his strategy, directly open the city gate, and release the elite of the Yellow Turban Army to guard the city gate, block Cui Yan's army, and try to kill the other party, in order to reduce the number of enemy troops.
Taking advantage of the fact that the city gate had not yet been breached, General Lin sent several teams of heavy shield soldiers to guard the city gate, with spearmen behind, the idea was haode, if this was done, it would be difficult for Cui Yan's army to break through this line of defense for a while.
But he never expected that, perhaps because he didn't want it in his heart, his strategy was broken by Zhang Fei's strength, and a spear broke through the direction of the Yellow Turban heavy shield soldiers, and killed the spearmen.
Seeing that the defense line was broken, Cui Yanjun of course squeezed in along this gap, and began to fight against the spearmen behind, and the Yellow Turban Army saw that this defense line was broken, so they had to fight hand-to-hand.
As soon as Cui Yan saw that the defense line was broken, he immediately waved his army forward, and many generals picked up their weapons and rushed forward, wanting to enter Guangping City as soon as possible, so as to break through this city as soon as possible, and then they could go to receive merit and reward.
In just over an hour, the gate of Guangping City has been broken, and it seems that it is not far from the fall, watching the endless Cui Yan army enter the city, General Lin sighed helplessly.
How can they break the city, in addition to the difference between the two forces, there is also a gap in warlocks, and not long after they occupied Guangping City, Lu Zhi immediately sent people to attack them.
Although the Yellow Turban Army in the city won a battle and its morale was high, it had countless casualties, and only more than 10,000 people remained, but Cui Yan on the besieging side had 40,000 or 50,000 people, and there were more generals than them.
General Lin didn't know that the Yellow Turban Army had sent reinforcements early in the morning, but the reinforcements sent were delayed by Cui Yan after learning the information, and the original vanguard was intercepted and killed by Liu Beijun.
Originally, the idea of the Yellow Turban Army was to send two reinforcements, the first road of 6,000 Yellow Turban soldiers as the vanguard, arrived in Guangping City early, which could solve their temporary urgency, and the second road of more than 10,000 people, plus the original more than 10,000 people, was enough to defend the city for a long time.
However, this important piece of information was learned by Lu Zhi's people, and they stirred it up, asking Liu Bei to intercept the reinforcements sent by the Yellow Turbans and let him improvise.
Liu Bei unfortunately intercepted and killed the vanguard of the Yellow Turban, but when he learned of the troops behind, he knew that he couldn't eat more than 10,000 people behind, so he hurried to inform Cui Yan and asked him to send troops to intercept him.
"General, my subordinates ask you to retreat first and go to other Yellow Turban garrison cities." The guards next to him saw that General Lin looked a little discouraged, looked at Cui Yanjun below blankly, and immediately took a step forward and persuaded with his fists in his hands.
"Let's go, General Xu, you can go quickly." General Lin was a person who knew how to advance and retreat, so he immediately made up his mind in his heart and said to the person next to him.
"Okay." General Xu also knew that he would stay in the green mountains and not worry about running out of firewood, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing the two generals agree, the guards next to them were also very happy in their hearts, except for being forced to do so, they definitely didn't want to die, if the generals had to stay, they would also accompany them.
However, the generals said that they would retreat, and the guards hurriedly covered the two generals, found a more secret road, and left Quang Binh City.
In just one morning, the gates of Quang Binh Castle were breached, and in the afternoon, it was basically the soldiers who were dealing with the aftermath of the war, extinguishing the flames, cleaning up the debris on the ground, and burying the bodies of their colleagues
It can be said that Guangping City fell very quickly, so Cui Yan was very happy to hold a feast that night, feast the generals, and reward the three armies in a great mood, and decided to recuperate in this city for a few days.
At the end of the night, Wu Sheng casually found an excuse, left the banquet early, returned to his room, looked at the pile of gold and silver treasures on the table, and put them in his storage space.
Because he was the first to rush forward to fight the enemy generals when he picked the generals in the morning, and returned victoriously, he also had a share of the items rewarded by Cui Yan.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk~~" Suddenly, Wu Sheng heard a knock on the door, and he was very puzzled, most of the generals were watching the singing and dancing at the banquet, or they were toasting and eating delicious food, why was it late, who came to him.
"Here we are." Wu Sheng shouted, then walked over quickly to open the door, it turned out to be Huang Yueying, he remembered that he didn't see her in the banquet just now, but why did he look for him late, what was the matter.
"What's the matter?" Wu Sheng smiled slightly and said to her.
"It's nothing, it's just that the moon is very round tonight, can you compensate me for admiring the moon." Huang Yueying gently pulled Wu Sheng, looked at the jade plate that was quietly glowing in the night sky, and said with a handful of green silk.
"Yes." I don't know Weishenme, Wu Sheng felt that Huang Yueying's action at this moment had an aesthetic feeling, which caused him to look a little dumbfounded, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Seeing Wu Sheng's appearance, Huang Yueying couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then pulled him out.
Wu Sheng followed Huang Yueying to the garden and found a stone table, it turned out that she had prepared a pot of sake and a few plates of delicate pastries, but there was only one jade cup.
"Yueying, were you here alone just now?" Although it was already obvious on the stone table, Wu Sheng still couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, people are not used to drinking and eating meat with you big men, and they happen to see the full moon in the sky, so they are here to admire the moon." Huang Yueying nodded her forehead, sat on the stone chair and said.
"And then they saw me just now, so they pulled me out." Wu Sheng looked at the corridor not far away, this road was the only way for him to walk back to his room, maybe it was too dark just now, so he didn't notice Huang Yueying in the garden.
"Yes, people tell you to ignore them." Speaking of this, Huang Yueying was suddenly dissatisfied in her heart, pouted, and looked at Wu Sheng with some resentment.
For this, Wu Sheng could only respond with a smirk, because he was thinking about something else when he was walking just now, maybe he called him to Huang Yueying without hearing it.
Huang Yueying snorted dissatisfiedly, and her eyes turned to look at him sharply, which made Wu Sheng's heart sink suddenly, and secretly scolded himself for almost dying, so he hurriedly coaxed this aunt with a smile.
"Alright, sit down." With Wu Sheng's efforts, Huang Yueying finally smiled.
Constantly glad that he had escaped, Wu Sheng continued to accompany Huang Yueying to enjoy the moon and drink with a smile on his face.
