Chapter 37 Handan Recovery
"Pillars! Have you noticed that the south side tower seems to be a little lively tonight? A Yellow Turban soldier patrolling the city walls said to his companion.
"Whatever, can it be lively, there are thousands of Han troops stationed in the south, it seems that they can't sleep tonight, fortunately I didn't guard there." , replied the man who was called the pillar.
"I think too, who made them so unlucky, it seems that tomorrow the Han army will attack the city I don't know how many people will die, and I don't know if they can stop it. I heard that the army that came to sweep away Wei County in a few days, but fortunately, I heard that the fleeing people said that it was a benevolent and righteous army, and there was no crime in the crossing of the autumn, and they did not kill prisoners. The only bad thing is that they don't want to die when they start a battle, especially the few leading generals, all of whom are killing gods, hoping that they will not attack the gates of our defense. β
The pillar was about to answer, but he felt a flash behind him, and in his exclamation, he quickly raised his weapon and shouted around the corner: "Who!!" Whoever is there, come out! β
Seeing the sudden exclamation of the pillar, the companions on the side also hurriedly raised their weapons and cautiously looked at the dark place around the corner.
"Haha, don't be nervous, two brothers, it's me, the captain of the city gate of the south gate." , In the vigilance of the two, soon Le Liang walked out with a smile in the dark.
As he spoke, he only felt unlucky, and he didn't think that as soon as he arrived at the city gate with people, he encountered two heavily armed Yellow Turban soldiers as soon as he got on the road.
"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Lieutenant, I don't know why I came here so late?" Seeing that it was the captain in armor, the two couldn't help but relax their guards, and then saluted.
"It's nothing, I just want to discuss the issue of defense with your lieutenants." Le Liang smiled and slowly approached the two, while making excuses, his hand also reached into his waist and touched the talisman short knife, he was confident that he could easily take the lives of the two within five steps.
But today, I really wanted to go to heaven to prepare to play him, and suddenly three arrows rose in the air, which was stunned that Le Liang missed the best opportunity, and at the same time, it also allowed two people who should not have died to pick up a life.
As the long sound of arrows rose into the air, rows of torches suddenly lit outside the city, and then the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded.
The pillar that reacted the fastest, without even thinking about it, shouted at the top of his throat: "Enemy attack!" In the blink of an eye, he ran towards the Tibetan military tower.
Le Liang, who was stunned, thought that he had no chance to kill the two, so he immediately pulled out his sword, jumped on the daughter wall and shouted to the soldiers hiding in the horse road and the city wall: "Brothers, for the sake of the family, we must let the Han army enter the city as soon as possible, and those who are not afraid of death will seize the city tower with me and kill the γγγγγγ", after speaking, Le Liang immediately rushed out.
As the attack began, the soldiers defending the city, who were awakened by the shouts of killing, had not yet reacted, and faced the murderous Leliang rebel army in a daze.
Many of them didn't know until they died, why their former comrades and brothers would swing their swords at them, and the even more unlucky captain of the city gate had just picked up his weapons and was stabbed into a sieve by the soldiers who were trying to kill them.
In the face of the commotion on the city tower, Zhao Yun, who was originally only a feint, made a decision and asked the soldiers to start erecting the prepared planks and preparing to cross the moat and enter the city.
At the same time, Leliang, who was already standing on the city tower, captured the gatehouse after losing several wounds. Soon the suspension bridge was put down, and Zhao Yunbu, who had spent half of the people, of course would not let go of the suspension bridge that greeted them, and soon came to the city through the suspension bridge.
As the commander of the school, Zhao Yun took the lead and climbed the ladder to climb the city tower, looking at the Yellow Turban Army killing each other, Zhao Yun understood everything and shouted: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, and the moth thieves have not surrenderedγγγγγ"
With a lot of drinking, Zhao Yun picked up two people who killed him, and soon when Zhao Yunbu ascended the city tower, the victory or defeat was a foregone conclusion.
Just when Zhao Yun entered the city, the city also sounded the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of cavalry galloping horses' hooves, with the recovery of the west gate, a large number of Han troops attacked the city, plus the Handan soldiers who were familiar with the road led the way, the Han soldiers swept in the direction of the east gate like a comb in three ways.
It was at this time that Gao Yun, who was sleeping with his arms around the two concubines, was woken up by his nephew, who was still on his upper body. When he woke up, Gao Yun fell from heaven to hell, knowing that the general trend had gone, and the two who were already timid as mice didn't have time to clean up, so they put on two clothes in a haphazard manner, pulled out the war horse from the stable and prepared to escape.
However, Gao Yun's two uncles and nephews, who thought they had time to escape, didn't know that their every move had already been seen by others.
The two uncles and nephews had a group of more than ten people, and as soon as they ran out of the mansion only two streets, they were stopped by a group of black-armored soldiers, and then hundreds of well-armored cavalry appeared behind the black-armored soldiers.
The two people led by the cavalry, one of them rode a jujube red horse and was nine feet tall, his face was like a red jujube, he was holding a big knife in one hand and twisting his beard in the other, and his half-squinted Danfeng eyes were full of murderous aura.
And when they saw the other person, their bodies on the horse were even more shaky. I saw the man with a gorgeous bright silver armor and a cold face holding a spear and said, "We met again, do you remember Qi!" β
"Who are youγγγγγ didn't you say that you would attack tomorrow? You can't win!! Gao Yun recognized this person as the person who called for battle outside the city in the morning, and immediately said with an ugly face.
"Hahahaγγγγγ originally Qi thought that Uncle Er's nephew could lead these sect members to defeat Handan City, and he still had some skills. Now it seems that he is just a mediocre talent, and he doesn't even know how to lead the troops if he is not tired of deceit. Jiang Qiyu immediately laughed and said.
"Uncle, let's go, here my nephew is blocking the γγγ", as Jiang Qi laughed, Gao Ping on the side looked at the young man under the torch, and he finally remembered that Jiang Qi was not the one who beat himself up and snatched his beauty from him?
Thinking of everything, he naturally remembered the terrifying scene of Jiang Qi punching his mount to death. Gao Ping knew that according to the grievances between the two, he couldn't run.
However, Gao Ping overestimated himself, and Jiang Qi was used to do it for these little people. As soon as Gao Ping moved, the pro-soldiers who had already drawn their bows and arrows on the side gently pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrows galloped out, instantly shooting several pro-soldiers who accompanied Gao Ping's charge off the horse.
Then Guan Yu, who was waiting on the side, knocked the horse's belly and ran out of the formation, and after the knife light, Gao Ping, who came with the knife, was split in half with the people and horses.
Seeing his nephew's tragic death in an instant, Gao Yun fell off the horse, and then there was a commotion on his body, but he didn't think that he was frightened and incontinent.
Faced with such a scene, Jiang Qi was no longer interested, and Jiang Qi didn't have to deal with these people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. When Jiang Qi rode away, the soldiers shot a rain of arrows in their hands again, and soon the few remaining people turned into hedgehogs amid the screams.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
After a night of fierce fighting, after the rooster crowed three times, everything was calm, and the sound of the night of shouting and killing made the people in the city dare not sleep, and some bold people saw through the crack in the door a group of Han troops entering the city.
But despite this, none of them dare to come out, for ordinary people, it has nothing to do with them who occupies the city, the days will continue, and the tax burden will not be paid less, not to mention that the soldiers and bandits have been a family since ancient times, who dares to say that these Han troops will not take advantage of the fire to rob.
With the calm of the war, there are horse teams passing by on the street after dawn, and the people see from the cracks in the door that these Han army uniforms are not ordinary border troops and county soldiers, and their Han army is not only well-armored, but also the mounts are the best Xiliang war horses.
With the passage of time, although the sky was already bright, no one dared to go out, not only because the soldiers on the streets, but also the dead and blood everywhere on the streets, were enough to make it difficult for the people.
It wasn't until noon, after a group of soldiers dressed in Han army uniforms had cleaned up the blood stains with clear water and loess, that a bold old man stretched out his head and whispered to a soldier who was still laying soil on the street: "Little third son, little third sonγγγ
The little third son, who was busy sweating profusely, heard someone calling him, looked back at the person who beckoned to him, and immediately recognized it as his former neighbor. hurriedly agreed, and ran over in three steps and two steps: "What did Uncle Li call me?" β
Uncle Li looked left and right and asked in a low voice, "The Han army has retreated??" β
"No! The Han army has already occupied Handan, and it is already peaceful. Even Gao Yun's uncle and nephew were killed, and now their bodies are hanging in the city. Xiao Sanzi said without concealment.
"Now that the Han army has entered the city, you won't run away, wait here to die!" Uncle Li exclaimed.
"Run for what? Oh, I forgot to mention, now I'm waiting for the Han army, but there is no armor replacement for a while. Last night, my Handan disciples made meritorious contributions to welcome the army into the city, and now I am the commander of the Han army. Xiao Sanzi looked at the clothes he was wearing and said happily.
As the two were talking, a group of cavalry came in the distance, and the leader said loudly as he walked: "Tell the people of Handan, my royal division has recovered Handan last night, and the ant head that originally endangered the people has been corrected, and now the city gate is hanging for public display." In order to reduce the losses brought by the yellow turban thieves to the people, the general will distribute the moth thieves captured in the city, one stone of grain per household, which can be collected at the government office, and the heads of each household are requested to bring the paper plate to receive it in time, for three days, and they will not wait for the obsolete time!! β
As the cavalry shouted, people kept opening the door and saying to each other whether it was true or not, you must know that it is good for the soldiers not to take their things, and how to be kind enough to return them with things.
"Is the little third son real??" , Hearing the words of the cavalry, Uncle Li asked the little third son, hoping to get accurate information.
"Of course, my general's journey has been all the way, and the army under his command is called the Long Live Army, and the general is still from Handan, how can he deceive the villagers. Besides, there is no joke in the army, and you can't talk nonsense with orders, uncle, you still γγγγγ."
Xiao Sanzi excitedly said everything he knew, but before he could finish speaking, he saw a black shadow flashing, and Uncle Li, who was already in his prime, was already carrying a sack, and ran towards the mansion with a gust of wind, and his footsteps were definitely not weak with young people.
Soon, after the bold people carried back the family of three and saved some food to eat for two months, more and more people ran towards the government, and those who went late were scolded by the women of the family, and the caliber was similar: 'If there is no food, don't come back, who made them so worried and afraid to go out'
Of course, those men were also wronged, they had never encountered such a good thing before, and even after the catastrophe, they had never received so much white flowers and food.
In the complaint, one household after another rushed all the way, but there was no need for them to do so, because after attacking Handan yesterday, the Han army found hundreds of thousands of stone grain in hundreds of granaries, and the money was loaded with more than 300 carts, and the rest of the materials were innumerable.
Among all the money, the terrifying amount found from Gao Yun's Mansion alone reached 20,000 yuan. Faced with the mountains of coins, Jiang Qi couldn't help but be surprised at how they collected money, thinking that he was afraid that the richest family in the city would only be able to net all of it.
However, the efforts of his two uncles and nephews are now making a wedding dress for Jiang Qi, in the face of a large amount of money, Jiang Qi is not all greedy for ink, after leaving more than 5,000 gold and then appropriating 10 million yuan to be sent to the capital, the rest of the cash is distributed to his soldiers, according to the merits, the more have 10,000 yuan, and the less has 100 yuan.
After the brothers discussed, half of it was left as military supplies, and the rest was used to repair the houses of the people destroyed in the war.
