Chapter 227: I just want to be the county guard of Runan, I don't care who is the king!
The guards of the walled city of Ferry were eventually unable to withstand Zhao Zilong's ferocious attack, and the walled city was breached by the Han army.
In the chaos of the battlefield, the chief bookkeeper Zhou Ren was arrested by the Han army, and his face was full of panic. His eyes were confused and helpless, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Zhou Ren was at a loss, his body trembled slightly, and his breathing was rapid.
The situation of being surrounded by the Han army made him completely lose his fighting spirit, and he felt the shadow of death hanging over his heart. His hands were shaking, and it seemed that he had some difficulty even standing.
In the face of the pressure of the Han army, Zhou Ren had no power to resist, he hurriedly raised his hands and knelt on the ground with a frightened expression.
His voice trembled, with a begging meaning: "Please let me go, I am the head of Runan County, I am willing to surrender, and I will never dare to resist again." ”
His lips trembled, and his voice trembled.
"Hey, it's still a big fish, go and tell the general."
As he spoke, the leading team stepped forward in person and tied up Zhou Ren.
The news of Zhou Ren's capture soon spread to Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood and full of murderous aura.
"General, I found a big fish, and I heard him say that he is the head of the county guard's mansion."
The position of the chief bookkeeper is probably also inherited from the Han system.
First, on behalf of Corporal Taishou Lixian. Second, go out to patrol with the Taishou. Third, give advice to Taishou or Assassin Shi.
The assassin held a military meeting, and the county master book could not only participate, but also serve as a strategist to make suggestions, which showed that the county master book was a minister who guarded the county and had a high status.
Don't you want this small ferry village, but there is still a county master to guard it personally?
This big fish, he has to be carefully interrogated.
Zhao Zilong's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand and said:
"Bring him up."
"No!"
Not long after, two Han soldiers dragged Zhou Ren over.
Zhou Ren, who was tied up with five flowers, could vaguely see the Zhao character banner behind Zhao Yun by the dim light.
Grunt~
He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Meet General Zhao next." ”
General Zhao?
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you recognize me?" Have you ever seen so-and-so? ”
Zhou Ren shook his head and said: "I haven't seen the general, but I just saw the general's heroic appearance, there are actually a few fierce generals in the world, and when it comes to bravery, I'm afraid I don't lose to Wenhou Lu Bu back then." ”
Seeing that Zhao Yun was silent, Zhou Ren thought that his horse had slapped the horse's buttocks, and hurriedly said: "The general is in and out of the crowd, single-handedly, and he has no way forward. The heart runs through the golden stone, the righteousness is thin and cloudy, and it does not reduce the guanzhang, which can be described as the style of an ancient minister..."
"Alright, alright."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said impatiently: "I don't have time to rub shoulders with you here, I just ask you, do you want to live?" ”
Live?
Of course I did.
If he is not alive, what is he doing to Zhao Yun?
"General Zhao has orders, as far as he can say, he will risk his life and help in the next step!"
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "I don't need you to risk your life, I just need you to explain the situation in the city, which can save your life." ”
Tell me what's going on in the city?
Zhou Ren, the county master, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is the general going to attack Xinxi tonight?" ”
Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed, and his body was full of murderous aura.
"Don't you want to be loyal to that thief?"
Zhou Ren shuddered, and knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Everyone who is a thief will be punished!" I heard that Cao Pi wanted to usurp and establish himself as the emperor, which is a famous dragon and dog in Judah soil. So that General Zhao knows that I, Zhou Rennai, am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhou family of Runan is also a loyal family! If the general wants to attack the city, I can be the guide! ”
Damn it!
In order to live, this face is not wanted.
Imperial Army Inside Please!
I'm showing you the way!
"Oh?"
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.
"You first tell me about the garrison in the city."
Before attacking Xinxi, Liu Chan's military division informed Zhao Yun of the information he had gathered.
However...
The information collected by the Military Division is somewhat true, Zhao Yun has doubts in his heart, and now that Zhou Ren is here, he naturally wants to verify the news.
"Tell the general what you know."
Simply informing Zhao Yun of the information in Xinxi City, Zhou Ren spread his hands and said: "Then Li Ji, the county guard of Runan County, is incompetent, and the thief king Cao Pi appoints him, which is a mistake, I have a little manpower in the city, or I can help the general!" ”
The ferry camp was broken, and the task he was stationed there was not completed, and even if Xinxi City was defended, his future was gone.
Since my future in Wei is gone, then I will switch to other places.
Anyway, he doesn't care who the king is.
He just wants to be the county guard of Runan County!
"Oh?"
Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Ren and asked, "How can I trust you?" ”
Zhou Ren hurriedly said: "I am stationed in the ferry camp today, I was squeezed out by the county guard Li Ji, he wants to kill me and then quickly, tonight the ferry camp was broken, I have no way to live, now I want to set things right, and please ask the general to make meritorious service with me, then for His Royal Highness to govern Runan, in the next will do everything possible for the Zhou clan in Runan." ”
I wanted to sit in the position of the county guard of Runan!
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "When I enter the city, you can enter with me, and then you can cause turmoil in the city." ”
Into the city together?
"I'd better go into the city first, or I'll run out of time!"
If you want to make meritorious service, this merit must be greater, how good is the merit of dedicating the city?
If you enter the city with a large army, this merit will be greatly reduced.
"Needless to say, Mr. Zhou, rest assured, when you enter the city, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."
In the case of knowing that it is deployed in the city, coupled with the night attack, there is no need to take another move.
Of course...
Zhao Yun dared to do this, not because he was arrogant, but because Li Ji, the county guard of Runan County, strictly followed the orders of the envoy of King Wei and made a 'loose outside and tight inside' arming operation.
The defenders on the city of Xinxi are only a few hundred people, stretching on the city on all sides, and there are only dozens of people on the city on this side, which can be described as a lax garrison.
Most of the military strength was placed in the barracks next to the county guard's mansion, and some of them were placed outside the city.
As long as you enter the New Rest City, plus the preparations that Your Highness has come to these days, this New Rest City is not ready to be captured?
"Time is pressing, strike quickly!"
During the time when Zhao Yun and Zhou Ren were talking, a steady stream of sergeants came from the country of Yu on the south bank of Huaishui by boat, and in the blink of an eye, the ferry was crowded with dense armored sergeants.
"Three thousand strong soldiers will follow me to a new rest, and the rest will go to solve the Wei army in the camp outside the city, and leave another two thousand people for mobile use outside the city."
"No!"
The army of 10,000 people brought by Zhao Yun was all experienced in a hundred battles, and the military order was issued, and there was no need to say a word, and the entire army moved.
...
In the middle of the night, the city of Xinxi, the county of Runan County, seemed a little quiet.
The moonlight sprinkled on the city walls, casting a faint silver-white light and shadow, reflecting the shadows on the city walls.
The guards in the city seemed to be a little tired, and the Wei troops stood on the city wall in twos and threes, looking a little relaxed.
Their eyes glanced around from time to time, but they were clearly not on high alert.
The night wind blew, bringing a slight chill that made the soldiers shiver a little.
"It's really fucking cold, let's go into the city tower, I heard that Brother Jiu brought two jars of wine and a big bag of fried peanuts, what are you doing blowing air conditioning here?"
"Yes, bad luck, they all eat and drink spicy food, why are we guarding the city here?"
The Wei army slowly walked into the city tower, the lights in the city tower were dim, but someone shouted:
"Great! Big! Big! ”
"Oops, how small is it!"
"It's really bad luck."
...
I don't want this group of garrison soldiers to be shaking the dice and drinking.
No one thought that someone would attack Shinzo tonight.
They think so.
The lights of the city shone faintly, shining through the windows on the streets.
The streets and alleys are filled with a tranquil atmosphere, and the occasional dog barking or two comes from afar, adding some breath of life.
On this quiet night, the garrison of the city was too lax, and the people gradually fell asleep.
However, the silence of the night does not mean that everything is safe, and unknown variables are still brewing.
"Smack~"
The claws gripped the edge of the wall firmly, and in a few moments, a sturdy man dressed in night clothes climbed up from under the city.
He thought that he would come up to kill a few people, but he didn't want to be on the city wall, but there was not a single guard and soldier.
It's really a knife in the butt and it opens my eyes.
Woo Woo Woo ~ A few bird calls came from the mouth of the big man in night clothes.
Then.
The sound of slapping and slapping is endless.
More and more Han troops poured onto the walls.
"General, they are all in the tower, drinking and playing dice."
"Hmph."
Zhao Yun smiled contemptuously and said: "Sure enough, it is a rabble, what Zhou Ren said is true, this Runan County Guard Li Ji is indeed a straw bag." ”
He immediately ordered.
"Clear the defenders in the city tower first, try not to make a sound, and then control the city gate and open the city gate!"
Zhao Zilong led hundreds of elite warriors, walking like cats, roaming the city walls.
Dressed in black robes, they melt into the night almost as much as they move through the darkness like ghosts.
The Wei army defending the city was so intoxicated by the night that they didn't know it.
However, under the skillful command of Zhao Zilong, the Han soldiers approached silently like ghosts in the night, and accurately knocked down every guard. There was not a sound, even their breathing seemed to melt into the night wind.
The guards at the head of the city were eliminated one by one, and Zhao Zilong's troops successfully cleared the obstacles.
Subsequently, the Han soldiers moved quickly and arrived at the city gate with lightness.
First, a few sleepy defenders were killed, and then, a few sturdy warriors pried the city gate open, and the city gate quietly opened in the dark, lowering the drawbridge, opening a road to the city for the Han army.
After all, the Han army that entered the city from the flying claws was only a few hundred.
Thousands, that's still a quick walk through the city gate.
"Control all the important places in the city, you, you, you, follow me straight to the county guard mansion and capture Li Ji!"
"No!"
The Han soldiers poured into the city like lightning, their movements clean and neat, like ghosts in the night. Scattered and scattered, they quietly took over key positions in the city and seized control of the city.
The Han army made a big move, and naturally woke up the sleeping Xinxi City.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Jingzhou soldiers are calling!"
"The crown prince of Hanzhong is here, run!"
....
The firelight, the shouts of killing, the sound of begging for mercy, and the sound of the door closing were all over the place for a while.
Although the Han army controlled most of the important places in the city, however, the battle in the city was not over.
The inner city county guards and the surviving Wei soldiers were not captured.
In the dark corners, they stood by and resisted stubbornly.
In the darkness of the city, the shadows of swords flickered, and the sound of fierce fighting and shouts resounded in the night sky.
"Defend the city, defend the city!"
"Reinforcements are coming soon, defend the city, and everyone will be rewarded!"
In the night, the sound of war drums sounded, the sound of swords clashing one after another, and there was a strong atmosphere of fighting in the darkness.
In the city of Xinxi, it has already become a battlefield of life and death at this moment, and a decisive battle related to victory and defeat is quietly unfolding in this dark night.
"Newspaper~"
Immediately, a soldier came to pay the respects.
"General cavalry, except for the county guard, the rest of the city is controlled by our army."
"Good."
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Quickly send someone to extinguish the fire, whoever dares to make trouble in the city will be killed!" ”
"No!"
The city of New Rest has now been captured by him.
Naturally, the people in this city are also the people of Han China.
Since it is the people, it is also his Zhao Zilong's responsibility to protect them!
"Get Zhou Ren!"
When he entered the city, Zhou Ren entered the city with the army, and now if he wants to break the city lord's mansion, he has to Zhou Ren.
Surrender!
If you can die fewer brothers, you will have to die less.
Otherwise, he, Zhao Yun, would have already taken someone to rush.
Not for long.
Zhou Ren, who was panting, came to Zhao Yun.
"What does the general command?"
Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Ren with a smile and said: "If the master wants to be the county guard of this Runan County, then he must make meritorious contributions, if you can say that the county guard will surrender and let the Wei army surrender, I can write to His Royal Highness, and say a few good words for you, and explain your merits." ”
The opportunity to make meritorious service is in front of you!
Zhou Ren immediately nodded.
"I will take this life!"
At this moment, entering the county guard mansion is naturally in danger of his life.
However, wealth and danger are sought, and if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?
He's going to be the warden of Runan County!
Immediately, Zhou Ren and several sergeants went to the gate of the county guard's mansion.
"I am the chief bookkeeper Zhou Ren, I want to enter the mansion to meet the mansion, and I also ask all the sergeants to be accommodating."
Squeak~
The Han army did not attack, and the defenders in the city also opened the gate of the palace.
If the one in the city is willing to surrender, they don't have to fight to the death.
Anyway, under whom to be a soldier, isn't it?
The city of New Breath was shattered, and chaos and fear enveloped the city.
Li Ji, the county guard of Runan County, sat in the hall of Fuzhong, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of helplessness and fear. His mood was like a turbulent river at the moment, uneasiness and anxiety intertwined.
Joo-in's arrival made Lee Ki even more nervous.
"Zhou Ren, you have failed the king's favor and become a traitor, do you know whose food you are eating?" There was a sense of grief and helplessness in Li Ji's voice, and in his eyes, Zhou Ren's behavior made him feel the pain of betrayal.
was denounced as a traitor by Li Ji, Zhou Ren immediately snorted coldly and said, "Why am I rebelling today, don't you know the county guard?" If the county guard is really willing to fight with me, why did I get to such a point? It's too late to say anything now, as for who am I going to eat? Naturally, I eat Liu's food! ”
Zhou Ren stared at Li Ji coldly and said: "If you are willing to set things right, let the soldiers in the palace surrender, and then assist General Zhao, saying that the rest of the cities will be annexed, it is not impossible to leave a useful body, and you may not lose your wealth."
If you are bent on death, then the death of your body and the destruction of your clan will be at hand. ”
With Zhou Ren's persuasion, Li Ji's emotions gradually became complicated.
Hiss~
He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with emotion.
He began to think about his situation, the kindness and favor of King Wei, and the choice to face reality.
The fear on Lee's face became more pronounced, and his breathing began to rapid.
He stood up suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I am willing to repay the kindness of King Wei with death!" ”
At this moment, Lee Ki's heart fell into a violent struggle.
There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
Boom!
He pulled out the sword of the county guard from the weapon rack at his side, and threatened to kill himself.
It's just that...
When the blade of the sword was pressed against his throat, the stinging sensation made him tremble.
Death.
Who can truly face the fear of death without fear in their hearts?
His beliefs began to waver.
"Wow~"
Bang~
The saber was thrown under Li Ji, and Li Ji immediately knelt on the ground and cried out.
His tears slid down to the ground, looking unusually weak and decadent.
He let go of his previous persistence and determination, and the decision to surrender may have given him temporary peace, but it also made him feel deep fear and helplessness in his heart.
"I... I will surrender..."
After saying this, as if he had drained all of Li Ji's strength, he fell directly to the ground, like a fish out of water, gasping for breath.
His face was like ashes, but he had to apologize to his family in Luoyang and his brother who was by Cao Pi's side.
He Li Ki...
I want to live so much.
...
ps:
Tomorrow I will add 4,000 words, and the big guy will vote for it~
