Chapter 237: Confrontation
Flames rise in the urn.
Black smoke rushed into the clear blue sky of Xiping.
In the firelight, the figure twisted and wailed frantically, and finally fell.
A pungent scorching smell irritates everyone.
"Wow-"
The soldier who was throwing the oil drum couldn't bear it anymore and knelt in front of the pheasant saucer and vomited.
Yang Zheng's heart was also trembling, but there was no expression on his face.
He can't afford to lose this war, and if he loses, more people will face such doom.
Deng Ai is by no means a soft-hearted person, with the hatred accumulated now, Yang Zheng and his family have fallen into his hands, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive and die.
Yang Zheng watched quietly as the fire in the urn city went out little by little.
The corpses were stacked on top of each other in various twisted and grotesque poses, as if hugging, as if tearing......
Although the flames were extinguished, wisps of black smoke were still emitting from their corpses, like dead souls clinging to each other.
"Kill!"
The fierce shouting of killing pulled Yang Zheng back to reality.
Meng, Liu Heng, Gong Feizhi, Luo Huzi, Meng Guan and other generals are still fighting bloody battles on the city wall.
The enemy howled and fell off the wall.
Bows and arrows, wood, oil, and rolling stones were smashed into the city.
In this era, defending the city is quite advantageous.
And Deng Aijun's army came from afar, was attacked by Yang Zheng, and his morale was taken away.
The siege battle is gradually coming to an end.
Without siege equipment, only ants and brute force cannot break through this city.
After the enemy retreated, a layer of corpses accumulated under the walls.
The walls and land have been dyed blood-red.
The tragic death in the urn city brought a hint of gloom to this small victory.
Dozens of steps behind Deng Ai's army retreating to the moat, dozens of people who had lost their armor were escorted to the front of the battle, some were crying, some were roaring angrily, and some were hanging their heads in resignation......
The axemen stood behind them.
The herald rode his horse and waved the command flag and shouted, "Slash! ”
The axe fell, the human head rolled, and blood sprayed on the yellow-brown earth.
The second group of people were escorted out again, including generals, Qiang, soldiers, and young and strong people.
The same struggle, crying and begging for mercy and scolding, but still the head fell to the ground.
Suddenly, there was silence on the walls.
The city was also unusually silent.
It's as if everything is forbidden.
Only the slightly chilly spring breeze whined, and vultures attracted by the bloody air chirped in the sky.
"Deng Ai is so ruthless, and he won't let go of his own people!" Meng Guan was breathtaking.
Liu Heng, who has always been arrogant, also looked blankly at the corpses under the city.
Only now did they know what kind of opponent they were facing.
Deng Ai's ruthlessness is also among the best in the history books.
Others are only ruthless to the enemy, but Deng Ai is also ruthless to himself.
The third group was pushed out again, more than the first two, their clothes were stripped off, and the naked knelt in a straight line in front of the moat,
But it was not the axemen who stood behind them, but the whip-wielding soldiers.
Heralds whistled past, whips fell, and the air was torn apart with a scream.
Many people couldn't bear it anymore, and fell headlong into the bloody mud, and were immediately picked up by the soldiers and continued to beat.
Slap, slap, slap......
Yang Zheng couldn't help but gasp.
secretly thought that he would burn the urn city, and compared with Deng Ai, it would be a small thing.
However, after Deng Ai was so crazy about self-harm, the enemy camp was wiped out.
The momentum also changed.
"It's not going to be a good fight." Yang Zheng muttered to himself in his heart.
Today's small victory was just a deliberate and unintentional grasp of Deng Ai's impatience and arrogance, and he took advantage of a slight advantage by decisively assaulting with the strongest personal guard battalion.
So far, Deng Ai will be Yang Zheng's most difficult enemy.
The real war has just begun.
Two or three days later, more and more young people from the Qiang Han people were recruited.
Fortresses rose from the ground and surrounded the Broken Qiang.
Yang Zheng tried several assaults, but the other party was well prepared.
There are winners and losers in each other, but they don't affect the overall situation.
Fortunately, there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, so that the news of Poqiang City will not be cut off.
Zhang Te and Du Yu have both returned from the West Sea and are gathering an army of slaves.
There is still no movement on Jishi Mountain.
Wuwei in the north is even calmer.
The Shu army put on a three-way offensive posture to attract Guo Huai's main force of Yongliang.
Lu Zhi summoned Peng Hu back to the Western Capital in the name of Peng Qingchan, and Peng Hu really entered the Western Capital alone.
Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
As he thought, the highlight of this drama in the northwest is actually between himself and Deng Ai.
If it wins, Xiping will take an important step forward, and the war will be divided.
If you lose, you don't need to say anything, and you will definitely fall apart internally.
But as long as fate is in your own hands, there is nothing to fear.
The battlefield is actually very fair, and everyone has a chance......
Luoyang is also bathed in spring light.
There is a lot of life inside and outside the city.
Sima's father and son fought quickly, so that the city was not greatly affected.
The people soon praised the virtues of Taifu and the general of the Fu army.
Sima and his son were in charge, swept away Cao Shuang's arrogance and lasciviousness, promoted talents, rectified discipline, and had their own duties inside and outside, the government and the opposition were solemn, and the place was peaceful.
Xin Chang, who was originally Cao Shuang who joined the army, was still pardoned by Sima Yi after he went out of the city to Cao Shuang. UU reads books
Fu Yi, Lu Yu, Wang Su and other talents who were excluded by Cao Shuang were all accepted under Sima Shi.
Many generals who were originally loyal to the Cao clan gradually turned to Sima and his son.
Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, Wei and others successively became Sima Shi's staff.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the warm pavilion, and Sima Yi's complexion became worse and worse, "I have already said, Yongliang must not be messed up, why don't you listen?" ”
After speaking, Sima Yi was a series of weak coughs.
Sima Shi gently supported his back, "A Deng Ai, a Hu family, and a Chen Tai, can't they still take Xiping?" ”
"You just want to get rid of Xiahou Taichu like that?" Sima Yi's deep voice was like a ghost whispering.
And this voice has already penetrated Sima Shi's heart, "The Cao family only has Xiahou Xuan as a pillar. ”
"Xiahou Xuan's reputation is too heavy, if you kill him, the world will not be peaceful anymore." Sima Yi's eyes were so faint that people didn't dare to look at them directly.
Sima Shi bowed his head and was silent.
Sima Yi sighed: "Deng Ai is a sharp sword, but you used it too early, if you lose this battle, the situation in Yongliang will change, and the situation in the world will also change secretly......
"Even if there is no such divisive plan, how can Guo Huai guard the key place in Guanzhong?" Sima Shi covered Sima Yi with a brocade quilt, "This time the use of troops in the northwest is not a good thing." ”
"Heh, heh......" Sima Yi seemed to be coughing and laughing.
"At least my son already knows who is available and who is not, you might as well let the northwest be chaotic, Guo Huai, as the governor of Yongliang, if he can't control the situation, he will be responsible!"
"My son should think about it and be cautious ......"
