Chapter 569: Raging Tide
There were constant routs fleeing back to Taiyuan, bringing unfavorable news to the south.
Zhou Yu left the guard general Zhou Xing at a loss.
This person was originally a captive Hu man, quite brave, worshiped Zhou Yu as his father-in-law, rose to the top, and became a school captain.
This was not surprising in the Qin army.
Of course, Yang Zheng also had the intention of accepting a righteous son, but considering that he was a monarch, the hidden dangers in the future were too great, so he dispelled this idea.
Zhou Xing is a good hand at fighting, and he is not good at dealing with the complex situation in Taiyuan City.
Too many opportunities have been given to the heroes.
"Defeated, defeated! Zhou Du Governor defeated Qinshui and was captured by the Wei army, everyone flee quickly, the Wei people are here, and they want to slaughter the Qin people in Taiyuan! ”
Under the city, a ragged army rushed straight to the city gates.
Zhou Xing was horrified.
Zhou Yu is his backer, and now that the backer has fallen, he will not have a good time in the future.
And the look on his face was seen by the soldiers around him, and people's hearts were even more flustered.
If Zhou Yu died in battle, he could still boost morale, but being captured alive would be a great blow to morale.
"Panic what, open the gates, let them in!" Zhou Xing ordered loudly.
One more person, one more hope to defend the city.
"The gates of the city shall not be opened!" Just as the soldiers were about to open the city, Malone stepped forward.
Zhou Xing's yellow eyes looked at Ma Long coldly.
"These people are in ruins, and there are long things hidden under their clothes, they must be the Wei army who came to deceive the city gates." Ma Long is a partial general, Zhou Xing is a captain, according to common sense, it should be Ma Long who defends the city.
But Ma Long is not Zhou Yu's descendant, he is also a general, he is not good at stammering, and he is naturally marginalized.
A few months ago, when Wei Qian was in Taiyuan, he was inseparable from him, talking about the art of war and the general trend of the world, and his excessive closeness made the generals of Taiyuan jealous.
Even Zhou Yu didn't want to see Ma Long.
"The governor ordered a certain to stay behind, so do you have to disobey?" Zhou Xing said coldly.
The fear of his peers exceeds the vigilance of the enemy.
"If you can't keep Taiyuan, you can't keep Guanzhong, Captain Zhou takes the overall situation as the priority, and the people under the city are suspicious, so they can't be allowed to enter the city." Malone arched.
A partial general gave up his hand to the captain, and he had already given Zhou Xing enough face.
"If you are a guard, this city will listen to me, open the city, let the brothers come in, and if you dare to say more, you will not be spared." Zhou Xing had already recognized that the first few people were all familiar faces.
The gates creaked open.
It's like a woman slowly taking off her clothes.
"The Zhou capital commander was defeated in Qinshui, and he has been captured by the Wei army, and the Wei people want to slaughter the Qin people in Taiyuan!" The group was also approaching the city gates.
The defenders of the city turned pale.
In the light of the calcium carbide fire, the knife flashed, Zhou Xing felt a chill in his neck, and then he saw that his body that had lost his head was still standing.
Malone stood with his knife in hand, blood still spurting from the neck of his corpse.
Everyone on the city wall was stunned, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
"This knife is given by the envoy of Shangshu Lingwei, if there is anything unfavorable to Daqin, it can be killed, now, listen to my order, close the city gate, and do not let a person or horse enter the city!" The blood mist sprayed on Malone's body, dotted with stars, making him look like a killing god.
Qin Jun didn't eat anything else, so he ate this set.
Whoever is strong will be convinced.
Moreover, Malone was a partial general, the de facto supreme general in the city, and it was reasonable to kill a lieutenant who did not obey military orders.
What's more, he still has Wei Qian's knife in his hand.
Wei Qiang's knife was given by the King of Qin, and the word "Yang" engraved on it already has the greatest convincing power.
"Who dares to disobey the order?" The anger that had been suppressed in Ma Long's heart for nearly ten years instantly exploded, turning into a murderous aura and enveloping his whole body.
The cronies behind him drew their swords and shouted angrily: "Who dares to disobey the order!" ”
The stronger it is, the calmer the panicked defenders become.
The gate was opened halfway and then retracted.
The routs crowded by the moat cursed.
Among them, there are naturally real routs, but more of them are Wei army pretending.
"If it's really a Great Qin soldier, you can go to the east dock fort to rest!" Malone commanded.
"Hugh listens to his deception, how can a dock fort resist the Wei army? They're going to kill us! When the time comes, we will die first! ”
"Kaesong, Kaesong!" The crowd burst into an uproar.
"Shoot the arrows!" Malone doesn't talk nonsense.
Arrows rained down, killing several people on the spot, and the others had to flee.
As the rout marched forward, the drums of war sounded from the south.
The Wei army came all over the mountains.
"Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! The shouts shook the earth.
The entire city of Taiyuan was shaken.
The faces of the defenders in the city were pale, and when Zhou Yu sent out his troops, he didn't think that he would be defeated, so he took the elite with him, and left behind the old and weak, as well as Ma Long and his two thousand troops.
In just half an hour, the Maron tribe had taken over the city.
Three thousand men were selected from among the old and weak to help defend the city.
Ma Long stood on top of the southern city with a sword, looking at the thousands of troops and horses under the city, with a calm face, "Taiyuan is a heroic city in the world, there are a thousand loyal and brave people who can defend it, and now there are 5,000 people, why not be afraid of the Wei army!" ”
The soldiers all knew Ma Long's reputation, and with 3,000 tired troops, they could hold Hefei New City in Huainan and resist Zhuge Ke's 200,000 Wu army.
Now, of course, the same.
Morale gradually recovered quite a bit.
The Wei army immediately launched a fierce attack, and the drums and shouts shook the sky.
But he was never able to climb the tower.
When Wei Qian and Sun Yang stayed in Taiyuan, they used this place as a fortress to operate, accumulate a large amount of food, ordnance, and strengthen the city defense.
Feather arrows, fire oil, wood, and rolling stones are all available.
It is also equipped with a three-zhang long spear, which is controlled by two soldiers, and can directly stab the enemy soldiers under the city from the head of the city.
As long as people's hearts are not confused, Taiyuan will not be lost.
Everything went as Malone expected.
The majestic city of Taiyuan is not at all something that can be broken by 30,000 or 40,000 Wei troops in this city.
However, suddenly a black pillar rose to the sky in the city.
The crowd was full of voices, "Kill!" Kill all the Qin thieves! Return to Sima Gong! ”
In the blink of an eye, the whole city was boiling.
A young man in a long song and dressed in sackcloth poured into the streets.
At the head there were several cavalrymen, carrying lances and wearing iron armor.
It has not been half a year since the recovery of Taiyuan City, and the people in the city are afraid of the might of the Qin army, so they have no choice but to annex.
Now that the news of the defeat of the Qin army came, the atmosphere in the city naturally became strange.
Taiyuan since the pre-Qin period, it has been the abyss of the wealthy family, not only the Wang family, the Guo family and other top gate valves, but also the Linghu family, the Jia family, the Hao family, the Hu family, the Wen family.
Taiyuan was surrendered, not breached, and there were many hidden dangers in the city.
I didn't dare to move before, but now that the Qin army has been defeated and all the governors of Qin have been killed, how can there be anything to fear?
The wealthy families have long been connected to each other, and there are some careful works that were put in by Zhou Xing in advance.
Returning to the embrace of the Sima clan, the land is occupied at will, and the population is enslaved at will, which is simply the era that the heroes dream of!
The defenders began to panic again.
Ma Long smiled, his originally handsome face was slightly distorted, gloomy and cold, and the eyes of thirteen devouring the earth and dying suddenly appeared in his mind.
Why did he die?
Because his land has become a manor for the mighty!
Hatred will also be inherited.
The days of being a "green cow" in Xuchang Tuntian have always been a lingering haze in his heart.
At this moment, seeing that the heroes in the city moved, something that was suppressed in his heart could no longer be suppressed, "Wang Yan, lead a thousand armor soldiers, no chickens and dogs will be left, if one escapes, only you ask!" ”
Wang Yan's whole body trembled, not because the task was arduous, on the contrary, the task was very easy, because in his eyes, the elite of Ma Long's 1,000 troops was not under the Qin State's pro-army, and a thousand armor soldiers were undoubtedly a massacre in the face of the young man who only had Mai.
He was surprised by Malone's tone.
The general, who has always been mild-mannered, seems to have changed at this time.
No one has experienced what Malone has experienced, so no one knows about the shift in his mindset.
This is actually the biggest reason why he is willing to defect to Qin.
"Subordinate, subordinate command!" Wang Yan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and the surprise in his eyes gradually turned into murderous!
