Chapter 1321: Night Attack on Yan'an
Zhang Zhen was right.
After he accepted Chen Ping as his adopted son, he gained the full support of the village.
The village not only sent people to inquire about the situation in Yan'an, but also contacted nearby villages to help the Han army collect grain, grass and water.
Morning.
The sun is bright, but it's cold. In an open space in the Han army barracks, Zhang Zhen stood with his hands on his chest, looking at Chen Ping boxing with a serious face.
The body is the foundation of everything, and boxing can be used to exercise the body.
After looking at it for a while, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he bowed slightly. Chen Ping is very fat, has great strength, and has a certain foundation in martial arts, so he is a good seedling.
If he is not afraid of death, he will soon be able to stand out on the battlefield.
In less than ten years, another general will emerge in the Han army.
After a while, Zhang Zhen handed over the matter of urging Chen Ping to practice martial arts to his own soldiers, turned around and went back to the tent to sit down, and picked up the city defense map of Yan'an to study.
The tables and chairs were all sent by the Chen family.
"Yan'anwei's defense is not very tight, but it is very elite. If we attack Yan'an during the day, they will soon see us and have plenty of time to prepare for battle. ”
"It can only be put at night, when you are asleep. in order to take Yan'an in one fell swoop. ”
"And sooner rather than later. It's too close to Yan'an, and although it's safe at the moment, it's not sure when something will go wrong. ”
Zhang Zhen put down the topographic map, his eyes flashed, and his right hand unconsciously placed it on the map in the southwest of Yan'an City.
The city is important, but it doesn't matter.
The key is to quickly destroy Yan'anwei's combat capability. That is, where Yan'an Wei lived, killed or captured Xiao Yu, as well as the guards.
"The fight is tonight." Zhang Zhen retracted the essence in his eyes and said in a cold voice.
...........
"Da Da Da!"
On the undulating path of the mountains, the Han army changed back to the uniform of the Han army and took out the flag with the word "Han". Under the cover of night, he quickly marched to Yan'an.
Zhang Zhen was wearing heavy armor and rode a horse in the middle of the team.
Chen Ping was wearing ill-fitting armor, carrying a horse lance, and walked beside Zhang Zhen with an excited face.
Zhang Zhen glanced down at Chen Ping, he didn't want to bring him here. But he insisted on coming, and the people of the Chen family agreed.
said that since he was in the army, life and death were up to him.
Let it go.
On the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, a strong and fearless teenager who is not afraid of death.
Zhang Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked ahead. It's really mountain after mountain, and the road is really difficult to walk.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the men and horses in front of them stopped. A guide turned back and bent down to report to Zhang Zhenyu: "General, not far away is the southwest of Yan'an City." ”
"How long is it until dawn?" Zhang Zhen turned his head and asked.
"About two and a half hours." One of the soldiers replied.
"Hmm. Ordered the soldiers to eat dry food and drink water. Rest in place for an hour. Zhang Zhen nodded, turned over and dismounted.
"Yes." The soldiers immediately went down to give the order.
Chen Ping immediately brought a sheepskin water bag and handed it to Zhang Zhendao: "Father." ”
"You can eat too. Remember not to drink water too quickly, take small sips, take one sip in your mouth, and wait until it is hot before swallowing. ”
"It's cold now, if you drink too quickly. If you get sick, you will die if you fight. Zhang Zhen took the sheepskin water bag and said to him.
"Yes." Chen Ping remembered it in his heart, nodded in response, and sure enough, he obeyed the order, drank water in small sips, and ate dry food in small sips.
"Hmm." Zhang Zhen smiled with satisfaction, and also took out dry food and ate it in small bites.
An hour passed quickly. When the soldiers were on the road, their bodies were very hot and even sweaty. Now it was a little cold, and some soldiers took out sorghum wine and took a sip from time to time.
Their physical strength was replenished.
Zhang Zhen called ten hundred households over and gathered together. He said in a deep voice: "Yan'an's defense is not very tight. When you reach the bottom of the city walls, you will definitely be able to attack the city. ”
"Once you're in the city, follow the plan. First of all, quickly surround the area where Yan'anwei is located. ”
"Shout, those who descend will not be killed."
"Yes." The hundreds of households responded seriously.
"Send troops." Zhang Zhen nodded and ordered.
Ten hundred households immediately took action, and three of the hundred households were dressed in heavy armor, abandoning the others, only carrying steel knives and bones, and long ladders in front.
Seven hundred soldiers followed.
Zhang Zhen himself led dozens of soldiers and Chen Ping, and fell last.
"Enemy Attack !!!"
The defense of Yan'an Wei was not very tight, and there were not many defenders on the city wall. But they were all extremely alert, and soon spotted a figure in the darkness and sounded a warning sound.
"Whoosh !!" In response to them, the arrows shot by the archers of the Han army, most of the soldiers of Yan'an Wei fell to the ground screaming, and a small number of them escaped and hid under the female wall, not daring to probe.
"Up."
The Han soldiers set up a long ladder and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly climb the city wall.
"We are the Han army, and those who surrender will not be killed." The officers of the Han army who landed in the city shouted that those who surrendered would not be killed. It did shock a few Yan'an Wei soldiers, but there were still some brave soldiers who rushed up to fight with the Han army.
Because they were outnumbered, they were all killed by the Han army.
"Do what you planned." One of the hundred households shouted and took the lead down the steps down the city wall.
The Han army followed one after another, and entered the southwest of Yan'an City in a steady stream.
The living area of Yan'an guards and soldiers.
Yan'an Wei was suddenly in a mess. Some of them were soldiers who lived at home, and at the time of the incident, they were sleeping with their wives in their arms.
After hearing the movement, the soldiers lifted the bedding and asked their wives to put on their armor. Floundered. By the time they finally came out of their armor, the streets had already been occupied by the Han army.
They couldn't find the officers, and the officers couldn't find them. No one organized, and there were very few soldiers to attack the Han army.
Those who had the courage to rush out were killed.
"Those who descend do not kill !!!"
"We are Han soldiers, not rogues. Do not kill Han Chinese, nor rob Han Chinese. ”
The Han soldiers shouted slogans repeatedly and non-stop. This caused some of the Yan'anwei soldiers to give up resistance and return home, waiting for the results.
However, they did not dare to remove their armor, and still held the steel knife firmly.
The Han army knew this area very well, and the soldiers surrounded and controlled this area.
Meanwhile. A hundred soldiers were in front, and dozens of personal soldiers were surrounding Zhang Zhen in the back, and went to the command envoy's yamen.
Zhang Zhen held a horse lance and rode a snatched war horse, majestic.
After coming to the commander's yamen, Zhang Zhen pointed at the closed gate with a horse lance and shouted: "Xiao Yu, listen, I am the nephew of the Son of Heaven, the general Zhang Zhen." ”
"I know you're a talent. If you come out and surrender, I am willing to protect you to the Son of Heaven. ”
