Chapter 434: Huang Zu broke through and Guiyang City was broken
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's expression and instantly understood what the other party meant.
After all, Gan Ning was Huang Zu's subordinate before, maybe he would remember the old relationship and let the other party go.
Although this situation should not occur, it is important to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu nodded lightly: "Okay, then do what you said, for the sake of insurance, you can arrange ambushes in these places in advance." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu pointed to a few more locations on the map.
Sun Ce nodded and went to arrange for manpower.
……
After nightfall, a gap opened at the north gate of Guiyang City, and a cavalry poured out of it.
There were twenty-one men in this cavalry, and each of them rode a horse with the hooves of which were wrapped in cloth to reduce the sound of running.
And the person led by this team of cavalry is Huang Zu.
Huang Zu was cautious along the way, in order to avoid being discovered, they didn't even dare to hit the torches, so they could only follow the faint moonlight and move forward slowly.
Looking at his subordinates who were stumbling, Huang Zu said in a low voice: "Hold on a little longer, as long as we enter the dense forest over there, we can light the torches!" ”
Everyone nodded, and then continued on their way.
Sun Ce, who had been hiding in the dense forest for a long time, heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance.
The Jiangdong Army, who was quietly braking, looked at a few sparse black shadows in the distance, and the south was a little excited.
As soon as they thought that Huang Zu was also among those dark shadows, they felt that the capture of Guiyang City was just around the corner.
Even Sun Ce, who has always been calm, was a little excited at this time.
Looking at the black shadow that was getting closer and closer, Sun Ce directly shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”
With Sun Ce's order, dense arrows shot out of this dense forest.
Huang Zu and the others were caught off guard, twenty-one people, and in an instant, there were seven or eight left, still riding on horseback.
Of course, among the survivors, there is naturally Huang Zu.
When Huang Zu saw an ambush in front of him, he immediately felt that there might be a spy in the city: "Sun Ce Xiao'er, you are deceiving people too much!" ”
After Sun Ce heard about Huang Zu's business, he was immediately overjoyed: "I really let Gong Jin say it accurately, Huang Zu, this guy, really personally led the troops to break through." ”
After muttering a sentence in his heart, Sun Ce rushed to kill even more vigorously.
And after Huang Zu calmed down, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
But he didn't tell anyone about the route he was going to escape, how could someone be ambushed here in advance?
"Could it be, what kind of Zhou Gongjin is this, this one has the ability of heaven and man, and can see through my actions?"
Huang Zu was frightened at this time, and he couldn't care so much, so he directly began to flee indiscriminately.
At this time, Sun Ce also directly led people to rush out and kill Huang Zu's subordinates, all of whom were cut down on their backs.
But when Sun Ce led people to raise torches, he found that among the people killed in front of them, there was no Huang Zu.
Sun Ce frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is there only so many people?" ”
"Young master, there are indeed so many people!" One soldier responded.
Sun Ce frowned: "I obviously heard about that Huang Zu's business just now, why did he disappear, find me!" ”
Because Sun Ce was ambushed here in advance, he didn't bring horses.
And these horses under Huang Zu were also injured one by one and could not be ridden for the time being.
This led to Sun Ce and them, so they could only follow the fire and search slowly.
But until dawn, they didn't find Huang Zu.
In desperation, Sun Ce could only let people continue to search, but he returned to the camp with a gloomy face and more than 20 corpses.
When Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce coming back with more than twenty corpses, he couldn't help but smile and stepped forward and asked, "How is it, Bo Fu, where is Huang Zu?" ”
Sun Ce was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "He ran away." ”
"Huh? Ran away? Zhou Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
Originally, he thought that whether Zhou Yu captured Huang Zu alive or killed Huang Zu, he could use this to make a fuss and make the defenders in Guiyang City surrender in Kaicheng.
But now, Huang Zu has run away, which is a little difficult to do.
Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu's face was not very good, so he asked slightly apologetically, "Gong Jin, what should I do now?" ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he thought for a while, and then said: "For today's plan, only dead horses can be used as live horse doctors." ”
"Bo Fu, you send someone to drag these corpses and bring them to Guiyang City, and I will personally go to persuade the defenders in Guiyang City to surrender Kaicheng."
Now what Zhou Yu thinks about is that Huang Zu didn't die last night, it's nothing more than two possibilities.
The first possibility is that Huang Zu successfully escaped and went to find reinforcements.
According to Zhou Yu's speculation, if this Huang Zu went to find reinforcements, he should return with the first batch of men and horses in two or three days.
At that time, the defenders in Guiyang City still had some combat effectiveness, so the Jiangdong Army would face the risk of being flanked.
So what Zhou Yu has to do is to rely on his eloquence to make the defenders in the city think that Huang Zu is dead, in this case, the defenders have a great possibility to surrender the city.
The second possibility is that after Huang Zu ran away, he returned to Guiyang City.
If that's the case, it's actually easier to do.
What happened last night, Huang Zu must have been scared.
As long as Zhou Yu analyzes the pros and cons a little, Huang Zu will naturally open the city and surrender.
……
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, with the corpses of a group of Guiyang defenders, came to Guiyang City.
"Listen to the people in the city, the reinforcements sent out by you have been killed by us, and Huang Zu, who is the leader, has also been ambushed, so don't make any more senseless resistance, surrender quickly."
The faces of the defenders on the city wall were more ugly than the other.
Those lieutenant generals are also at a loss at this time.
Huang Zu asked them to hold out for two days, but that was when Huang Zu successfully broke through.
Now that Huang Zu has been killed, is there still any need for them to hold on?
Especially in this city, there is no water.
The surrender of Kaesong early and the surrender of Kaesong late are both surrenders, and since this is the case, then why should we suffer?
After some discussion, the lieutenants who defended the city hung up the white flag and surrendered the city.
Zhou Yu looked at the white flag hanging up and couldn't help but be stunned.
Originally, he thought that he would need to waste a lot of words this time to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender.
As a result, I didn't expect that after I only said a word, the defenders in the city surrendered.
Seeing this, Sun Ce on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "It's worthy of Gongjin, let them surrender with a word." ”
With the city gate opened, the Jiangdong army entered Guiyang City one after another.
At this point, Guiyang City was broken.
