Chapter 91: Zhang Bao's End (6)
"Kill! Kill me in! I'm going to kill Zhang Bao alive! Yuan Shao said angrily, he lost fifty or sixty thousand horses in vain, but he didn't even see the shadow of the Yellow Turban Army, his own people were fighting with a group of war horses and cattle, and so many people were killed, how embarrassing it is to say, after all, this is not good!
After a hard battle, Yuan Jun can now be said to be exhausted, even if he wants to rush into the city, there is no way, Yan Liangwen is relatively speechless and only has two lines of tears, even if the two of them can still kill the enemy, but these soldiers can no longer bear to destroy, "Lord, calm down!" Frustrated at this time, he came to Yuan Shao's side and shouted loudly,
"Calm down, don't take advantage of the moment to rush into the city, and there will be nothing to do with us in a while! Hurry up and reorganize your troops, and attack directly in a moment! Yuan Shao said angrily, because he saw that the Cao army had already attacked the city wall, and the city was broken in front of him!
"But we're powerless!" Frustrated and very helpless, after the fight just now, Yuan Jun is now lying on the ground panting, let alone going to battle again, no deserters are already very face-saving!
"Yan Liang, lead the cavalry to kill it, don't kill the enemy, just give me and keep an eye on Zhang Bao!" Yuan Shao looked at it, it was true that he didn't have the strength to fight, so he had to order Yan Liang to fight!
"Attack, kill, break Zhang Bao today!" Huangfu Chong shouted excitedly, there were less than ten days left before the date set by the Spirit Emperor, he didn't expect such a big result to be achieved on the second day, it really made him excited!
"Kill!" The Han army rushed over like a tide, so that Zhang Bao's face changed greatly, the failure of the original fire bull plan, so that his face was not very good-looking, although it was said that he killed fifty or sixty thousand Han troops, but his own war horses and cavalry were basically killed and wounded. "Pour oil, set fire! Give me the best to kill the Han army and guard the city wall! Zhang Bao shouted, while shouting, he arranged for people to prepare for street battles, he couldn't hold this city, in this case, let this city wall become the cemetery of the Han army!
"You hold on, and go all out to block the rest of the Han army and come with me to prepare the second line of defense!" Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army behind was about to run, Zhang Bao directly ordered them to step forward, and at the same time shouted that as long as the second line of defense was ready, they could retreat.
"Kill!" This group of Yellow Turban Army originally had other ideas, and now they were directly pushed out by Zhang Bao, and they were also a little happy, just to help the Han army take down the city wall, but they didn't know that this was Zhang Bao's delaying tactic, using them in exchange for the lives of their cronies!
"Speed into the inner city and get ready for battle!" Zhang Bao commanded, a crazy light flashed in his eyes, he had made sufficient preparations to deal with the Han army, since this group of disciples had other ideas, then just kill them together!
"Kill!" Sun Jian yelled, and finally killed the city wall, with Sun Jian's joining, the Han army quickly gained a foothold, Sun Jian's army was very brave, and the Yellow Turban Army that killed them retreated again and again, these people were not Zhang Bao's elite soldiers, and now they are even more vulnerable when they meet Sun Jian.
"We surrender, we surrender!" The Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city hurriedly shouted, for fear that they would be killed by Sun Jian if it was too late, and a group of people who were pressed by the black pressure all gathered together and shouted surrender loudly, which made Sun Jian frown a little, although this group of people surrendered, but it was also a trouble, with their containment, Sun Jian could not quickly chase and kill Zhang Bao.
"General, what should I do?" Cheng Pu asked with a dodgy look, this group of people has affected the pace of the Han army's attack here, if they don't surrender sincerely, and then make some mess later, it will be troublesome.
"Didn't you hear Wushuang Hou say don't take prisoners, kill them all!" Sun Jian said murderously, as soon as these words came out, the face of the Yellow Turban Army on the city changed greatly, and many people wanted to scold, but they saw Cheng Pu's big hand wave, and the Han army directly began to slaughter, and they heard screams on the city head again and again, people fell one after another, blood flowed down the city wall, and the pungent smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves!
Sun Jian and the others danced the weapons in their hands and killed the Yellow Turban Army off the city wall, so that the Han army behind them could pass quickly, "Go and open the city gate, and the enlarged army will come in!" "After Sun Jian occupies the city wall, he will be released directly! Let the army outside the city quickly kill in, Yuan Shao was closest to the city gate at this time, and after seeing Sun Jian open the city gate, he rushed directly with his own troops, at this time all the people didn't feel tired, and they all wanted to kill Zhang Bao quickly and end this damn war!
Zhao Yun is also very excited, the only thing that has some shortcomings is that Cheng Feng did not see the destruction of this Zhang Bao with his own eyes, which can be regarded as a fly in the ointment, and now Zhao Yun wants to show off Cheng Feng, after all, he is the three brothers of Zhang Jiao! Just when Zhao Yun was about to enter the city, he was caught by Guo Jia.
"What's wrong? Mr. Guo? Zhao Yun was a little puzzled, why did this Guo Jia come to stop him at this time, could it be that there were other problems in this city, Zhao Yun suddenly thought of the scene in Guangzong City, and couldn't help but say, "Everyone be careful and vigilant, don't give Zhang Bao a chance to sneak attack!" Although he spoke, Zhao Yun was pulled by Guo Jia, and he couldn't move forward a step!
"Look at the walls!" Guo Jia pointed with his hand, he always felt that something was wrong, this Han army attacked the city too easily, the general casualties were five to one to attack the city wall, and now it was less than three to one to occupy the city wall, it was really a bit of a surprise.
"What's wrong with the walls? No problem! Zhao Yun laughed as he hammered the city wall with his hand, making a deep sound, and at first glance it was a physical city wall!
"So many people have been killed above, why is there not so much blood here?" Guo Jia opened his mouth and said, tens of thousands of people have died inside and outside here, and the corpses alone are all over the city, but there is not much blood to see, which is understandable if it is winter, but it is September now, and the weather is still quite hot!
"You're saying that all this blood has been shed into the city wall, no, this wall is not the whole entity!" Zhao Yun's face suddenly changed greatly, and then shouted, "The whole army is raised, hurry up and withdraw!" "But this army is rushing in, who will retreat, and now everyone is thinking about how to catch Zhang Bao.
Only Zhao Yun's Dragon God Army executed the order, and the whole army waited directly outside the city, they were originally at the back, and they didn't think about snatching the credit for eliminating Zhang Bao, for them, the execution of the order is stronger than anything else, you must know that the Changshan soldiers are well treated, but the discipline is also strict, if you are really sent home because of a trivial matter, then you don't want to raise your head in this life!
Sun Jian heard Zhao Yun's shout, and also directly led the troops to retreat, although he didn't know why, but he knew Zhao Yun very well, Zhao Yun is not a person who likes to grab credit, since he shouted to retreat, there must be a reason! Sun Jian commanded the troops to retreat, and Cao Cao also withdrew part of the army that had just entered the city, but it was still a little late, and he saw Yuan Shao's army rushing forward, and suddenly with a pop, the people in front fell into the pit, and they were instantly pierced by the weapons inside!
"Retreat! Remove! Yuan Shao looked at the people nearby who were hit one after another, and couldn't help but turn pale, trembling and shouting, at this time there was no longer the hard gas just now, when Zhao Yun shouted, he came to persuade him, but Yuan Shao insisted on going his own way, ignoring Zhao Yun's order, this time he was suffering, Liu Bei was not far from Yuan Shao, and now he was also full of wry smiles, regretting that the city gate should not be strong, now it is a dilemma, I don't know where there is a trap in front of me, and it is even more impossible to retreat, I didn't see Yuan Shao's army blocking the city gate, If you want to go out, you can only run out from the city wall, and when Liu Bei looked at the city wall, his face was bloodless, "Run, be careful!" Liu Bei shouted, telling all the Han troops to look back, and then they were collectively stunned!
It turned out that Zhang Bao saw that the Han army had been trapped in a pit to block the pace of advance, and a large number of men and horses were blocked in the city, so he directly asked all the archers to start shooting the Han army, and at the same time pulled up the rope that had been prepared, and thousands of people worked together to pull down the city wall, and directly crushed this group of Han troops to death in the city! "Haha, kill me, I want them to come to me with blood, and I want to make the Han army pay a terrible price every step forward!" Zhang Bao shouted hysterically, although he didn't hurt the heavyweights of the Han army, it was still good to destroy the Han army more!
Cao Cao and Sun Jian looked at Zhao Yun with a snow-white face, fortunately Zhao Yun reminded him in time, otherwise he would be the one who was smashed under the city wall now, I really didn't expect this Zhang Bao to be so insidious, and he knocked down the city wall, it seems that this siege battle is not so easy to fight, but now without the protection of the city wall, breaking Zhang Bao is just around the corner, Zhang Bao thinks that she is a young lady who has stripped naked, and she can't deal with this group of simple and rough old men with only two hands!
"Whew!" Sun Jian exhaled heavily, and threw a grateful look at Zhao Yun, "Prepare to attack, be on guard!" Sun Jian shouted, and with sympathy for Yuan Shao, Sun Jian attacked again. Lu Zhi and the others have been taking the Yulin Army to press the formation behind, and they were originally a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yun's arrangement, but now they all praise Zhao Yun, if they press the Yulin Army, thinking about the consequences, they will all shudder! The Han army reorganized the attack, as for the people who died under the city, no one cares about them now, the war is so cruel, and the lives of individuals are really too small on the battlefield, and now everyone is holding their breath and fighting step by step in the city.
If you want to say that the most depressed person is Yuan Shao, since Zhao Yun came, Yuan Shao has not been happy, but whether he sends troops or not, he is the one who suffers, is he and Zhao Yun naturally restrained? Thinking of this, Yuan Shao glanced at Zhao Yun resentfully, this scene made Yan Liang and others sigh deeply in their hearts, Yuan Shao brought an army of 150,000, after this toss, in addition to the 20,000 cavalry under the city, it is still complete, and now there are about 5,000 people in his hands, this matter of eliminating Zhang Bao has nothing to do with himself, Yuan Shao is very lonely and withdrew from the city with his own men and horses, Zhao Yun will not do anything that falls into the ground, seeing Yuan Shao go away, Zhao Yun did not pay much attention, and focused his attention on the city, Zhao Yun, the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, is also speechless, why do they all like to cower in the city?
"Lord Wang, the Han army has killed again!" Zhang Bao had just hid in the mansion, and before he had time to catch his breath, he heard a report from his subordinates, and now he still had 10,000 people in his hands, Zhang Bao thought for a while and said, "Disperse all the people in the city, and kill and injure the Han army as much as possible, they will not let us surrender, you must drive the sects all over the city, and force them to be anxious, I don't believe that they will still have illusions about the Han army!" ”
"It's the prince! But what are you doing here? ”
"Don't worry about me, I'm going to stay here, the bigger the movement over there, the less pressure I have here! Let's go, take advantage of the fact that the Han army has not occupied the entire city, and hurry up to seize the favorable terrain! ”
Watching his subordinates run out, Zhang Bao also began to prepare for the final fight Zhang Bao has always been insidious and cunning, and only now does he understand that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers. The battle has been fought so far, what is fighting is endurance and manpower, Zhang Bao has built his official mansion very strong, he knows that he can't stop the progress of the Han army even by relying on this, and he only hopes that the Yellow Turban Army in the city can start to play a role, so that he can prepare more.
Huangfu Chong commanded the army to advance step by step, and now he is also wearing colors, because you don't know when and where the Yellow Turban Army will pop up to attack him, and many Han troops are advancing cautiously. Every step is very frightening, which leads to the unusually slow army, because as long as the troops are divided, they will face the sneak attack of the Yellow Turban Army, which is unguardable!
"Be careful!" Huangfu Chong shouted, but unfortunately, the moment he remembered his voice, countless bows and arrows and stones flew in, and many people who didn't have time to react were killed like this, and the death was really too wretched!
Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others are moving forward cautiously, and they can't demolish all the houses, and this Zhang Bao has set traps everywhere, which has not yet reached the city lord's mansion, and has been attacked many times, Zhang Bao's rogue methods have made the Han army anxious, Sun Jian wants to kill him directly, no matter what kind of flood beast he is, he will cut it with a knife.
"Be on guard, crossbowmen keep an eye on the houses on both sides, the army marches together!" Zhao Yun gave the order, but unfortunately the streets in the city were not wide, and there was no way to let the cavalry in, otherwise he could quickly attack the Yellow Turban Army with the speed of the war horse!
"Everyone listens to the order and sees the Yellow Turban Army to kill, and there is no need to show mercy to his subordinates!" Huangfu Chong shouted, commanding the front army to open the way in front, the Yellow Turban Army kept making sneak attacks, although they killed a lot of Han soldiers, but as their numbers decreased, the Han army was also slowly approaching the City Lord's Mansion.
"The whole army obeys the order and stands by in place! Archers, launch rockets and attack the Castle Lord's Mansion! Huangfu excitedly gave the order, and finally killed the city lord's mansion, looking at Zhang Bao who was waiting in front of him, Huangfu Chong chose to attack from a distance very decisively, no matter how to ignite this fire first, otherwise it will be dark soon, and for the Han army who are not familiar with the terrain, there is more danger at night!
"The Dragon God Army listens to orders! Get ready for a night fight! Just when everyone was about to rest and the Yellow Turban Army secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Yun suddenly shouted, which made the Yellow Turban Army who had just put his heart in his stomach nervous again.
"This bastard! Why do you have to fight at night! Zhang Bao was a little angry, he had been fighting for two days, and he was not allowed to rest at all, and if he continued to fight, he would be exhausted to death!
"General Zhao, it's too risky this night, it's better to attack during the day!" Zhu Jun hurriedly persuaded, after all, Chengfeng's experience is right in front of him, if someone secretly gives you such a shuttle at night, it will be lively!
"Yes! General Zilong, safety is still the most important thing! Lu Zhi also persuaded, and the people next to him were persuading Zhao Yun not to fight at night, after all, it can be said that this place is unfamiliar!
"Since Zhang Bao is besieged here, then we should take him down with all our might, and there will be a change tomorrow in the province, you are just worried that the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in the city will be unfavorable to us, even if we don't attack tonight, they won't let us go so easily, so it's better for us to attack!" Now that General Huangfu has lit the fire, what else is there to worry about. Ladies and gentlemen, as long as we attack and kill Zhang Bao, we are done, and now our army is pressing on the Yellow Turban Army, we can let them mess up on their own! Zhao Yun said with a smile, seeing that everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization, Zhao Yun took the opportunity to shout again, "Everyone shouts, as long as it is the one who offers the head of the Taiping Sect, the past will be written off, each person will be rewarded with fifty yuan, and the one who kills Zhang Bao will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and ten thousand households will be sealed!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled slightly, his eyes sparkled, this Zhao Yun has also learned to play psychological warfare, the sound of tens of thousands of people shouting together is really spread throughout the whole process in an instant, especially Zhao Yun used himself as a guarantee, so that the people in the city are ready to move, Zhang Bao's calculation in the city made many Yellow Turban soldiers dissatisfied, and now they see the hope of survival, this idea is different. Many people directly killed Zhang Bao's elite soldiers, and then came to Zhao Yun to receive the reward, Zhao Yun just entered the city when he grabbed a Zhang Bao's money warehouse, and there was no ambiguity at the moment, directly sent the reward money, arranged for people to send them out of the city, I knew that the Han army had been stationed from outside the city to the city lord's mansion, the whole three avenues, full of Han troops, now the Yellow Turban Army has no chance even if they want to sneak attack, with the person who takes the lead, then things are much easier, many people began to kill the people around them, and then come to receive the reward, Zhao Yun used this method to reduce the unstable factors in Xiaquyang City a lot!
Zhang Bao's city lord's mansion was illuminated by torches as during the day, the Han army rushed forward step by step under the command of Huangfu Chong, and the neat steps were all heavily stepped on the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army, and the scene of the Han army's siege of the city flashed in their minds, and many people were holding their weapons tightly and not saying a word, for fear that the Han army would kill them.
"Attack! Archer suppression! "The Han army finally began to attack, Zhang Bao's city lord's mansion is far less solid than the city wall, under the attack of the Han army, it didn't last long to be breached, at this time, Zhang Bao rushed out with the last eight hundred personal soldiers, this is his last elite, Zhang Bao does not want to be able to get out alive, only hopes to kill a few more Han soldiers, so as not to die too bad!
"Shoot the arrows!" When he saw Zhang Bao killed, Zhao Yun directly ordered, all the bows and crossbows started together, and he saw that the arrows rained down, and the oncoming people were directly shot into hedgehogs, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen people left around Zhang Bao, and they were all stupid people, Zhang Bao was very free, laughed a few times, and killed himself directly!
"The whole army is scattered to clean up the remnants of the city, and the generals will lead their men and horses to act!" Seeing Zhang Bao kill himself, Zhao Yun said with some interest, thinking that he could have a big fight. With Zhao Yun's words, these people all set off with their troops, and they were very excited, because Zhao Yun's words were acquiescing to the fact that they could snatch Zhang Bao's supplies at will!
Until now, the ten-month Yellow Turban Rebellion ended with Zhang Bao's self-killing, Zhao Yun went to Changshan with his men and horses, all the Han generals were full of harvest, Yuan Shao regained the support of the family, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei all gained great fame. Lu Zhi and the others took all the Yulin Army and the Xiyuan Army back to Luoyang, and the destruction of the Yellow Turban Army seemed to make the Han see a glimmer of light again!
