Chapter 559: Surprise Attack and Breach of the City
After nearly a month of fighting, the pressure on the soldiers defending the city was not small. Fortunately, now that the Shu army has failed to give it a go, the army has gone away, and they can finally take a break.
That night, the guards of Pingyang County slackened off and began to patrol less actively. Although Lu Zhi still asked the generals not to let their guard down completely, the officers in charge of the patrol had already gone to drink.
Without oversight, the soldiers began to be lazy. There are many dead spots in the city, but everyone is unimpressed.
Even if the Shu army wanted to kill the horse pistol, it would take three days to march over. Someone is bound to find out before then, so don't worry about it at all.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and a group of men and horses appeared under the city.
"Let's do it! Let me see how good you are at after training for so long. Ma Tan looked at the city, smiled slightly, and immediately gave the order to attack.
"But don't kill the other party's master, that's a great talent, and he is also from Xiliang, so he can be wooed."
Even if the other party didn't shoot him with an arrow, Ma Jian was still not too angry. And Ma Jian has not forgotten to leave talents for Dahan, but as long as he has some ability, Ma Jian hopes to be able to collect it.
Under Ma Tan's order, hundreds of warriors quickly began to move. They quickly threw the rope and climbed up the rope with great skill, moving extremely quickly.
There were basically few soldiers on the city, and they didn't notice that the Han army had already reached the city. Even waited until Ma Jian followed him to climb to the top of the city, and the slacking Wei soldiers did not pay attention.
"You can't get through!" Lu Zhi personally held a big knife and stopped in front of the Han army with a fierce momentum, trying to block the attack of dozens of Han soldiers with one knife at a time.
"A Shu person has touched it!"
The entire Pingyang City was quietly taken down by hundreds of people.
"It's broken! Something happened! Lu Zhi stood up suddenly, didn't even bother to put on his armor, and rushed out with his weapon.
"Damn! If I had been on guard for two more days, there might not have been so much to do! Lu Zhi gritted his teeth, feeling remorse for his carelessness.
"Enemy attack!"
He didn't know what was going on inside the city, but he knew very well that when this sound appeared, there must be an enemy out of the city. Thinking about the retreat of the Han army ten days ago, Lu Zhi basically guessed who did the thing.
"Let's do it! Don't give them a chance to react! β
For a time, the Wei army in the whole city was in chaos.
Isn't this more efficient than a strong attack?
"What people!"
When Lu Zhi rushed out, he happened to bump into a group of Han soldiers. Lu Zhi rushed forward without hesitation, trying to stop the progress of the Han army.
Several patrol soldiers noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly opened their mouths to warn. But they only shouted two words, and a few bolts were enough to finish them off.
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers trained by the Xuanfeng Battalion is extraordinary. The Wei army, which was caught off guard, ran into the Han soldiers who were gaining momentum, and they were almost knocked to the ground by chopping melons and vegetables.
At the same time, Lu Zhi was resting in his house when he suddenly heard an uproar outside. Out of nowhere, I remembered the sound of fighting and the sound of weapons colliding, which made Lu Zhi's face change suddenly.
However, as soon as they fought, Lu Zhi found himself a little too naΓ―ve. This group of Han soldiers was well-trained, and their strength was completely incomparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Lu Zhi only fought them for two rounds, and the tiger's mouth in his hand was shattered.
If it weren't for Ma Tan's advice to keep him alive as much as possible, Lu Zhi would have died long ago.
And as the Wei army continued to break and flee, more and more Han soldiers surrounded it. Lu Zhi's situation is getting more and more difficult, and the resistance is becoming more and more overwhelming.
In the end, Lu Zhi fell with all his strength, and he was pushed to the ground by a group of Han soldiers with full anger and extreme grievance.
And Pingyang City was also successfully taken by the Han army.

To be honest, Lu Zhi's defeat in this battle is really a little helpless. He didn't expect that Ma Tan, the sixth child, could endure more than him. After the army withdrew, he waited for another half a month, so that he could not be guarded.
With Ma Tan's conquest of Pingyang County, the entire gateway to Bingzhou was opened, and the grain road of Longmendu was also successfully opened. Ma Jian then sent people back to Anyi and ordered Deng Ai and others to lead the army north again.
However, after Pingyang County took it, Wang Jing, who was hiding in the Emei Terrace, looked a little embarrassed. The people who planned him are gone, and the back road has been cut off, where should he go?
Ma Jian is not interested in this, he is just a rookie who does not understand the art of war, and Ma Jian does not pay attention to it at all. On the contrary, it was Lu Zhi, and Ma Jian still wanted to persuade him to come over.
It's a pity that Lu Zhi didn't like him at all, and he has been on hunger strike since he was captured. β
There is nothing Ma Tan can do about this, he has been fighting for so many years, and he has almost forgotten how to surrender. So Ma Jian simply threw Lu Zhi on the prisoner car and sent him back to Chang'an, asking the prime minister to have a headache about the matter.
After Binh Duong County was opened, the road to Shangdang was opened. The next step is to continue the eastward offensive to occupy the party, and the state can be in the bag.
"What's going on over there in the Southern Huns? Did they send troops? Ma Jian looked at Deng Ai and asked.
"Envoy Jun, not yet, it seems that they want to wait for us to send troops, and then take the opportunity to pick peaches." Deng Ai spread his hands and reported to Ma Yan.
"I knew that they wouldn't have any good intentions, and the Huns still wanted to calculate me." Ma Tan snorted coldly, feeling extremely disdainful of the Huns' little thoughts.
"But the general can't be careless, the Southern Xiongnu army is much stronger than the Hu people in Hetao. In case they are co-opted by the pseudo-Wei and stabbed in the side, we will be in a bad situation. Deng Ai saw Ma Jian disdainful, and couldn't help but admonish.
Although he suggested using Hu to control Hu, Kebineng has not returned to Yanmen yet. At the moment, the Xiongnu were not restrained in any way, and if they united with the Wei army, the pressure on the Han army was not ordinary.
"That's right, it's a real problem." Ma Jian was reminded by Deng Ai like this, and suddenly remembered such a stubble.
Although he was very good at fighting, if the Huns divided their troops to cut off their food routes, he would not have a problem. So after some muttering, Ma Tan suddenly thought of a good idea.
"Since the Southern Xiongnu didn't make a statement in action, why don't we go north and destroy the Xiongnu first?"
As soon as Ma Yan's words came out, Deng Ai and the others almost choked to death with a mouthful of water. After breathing a sigh of relief, Deng Ai's face suddenly fell.
"General, don't joke with so-and-so, so-and-so has a bad heart......"
"Who is kidding you, this is a military order!" Ma Jian waved his hand and said in a very firm tone.
"The Hu people do not obey the indoctrination, and the risk of making them allies is much higher than being enemies. It's better to see them as pseudo-Wei's comrades and clean up together! β
