Chapter 46: The Capture of the City
Take advantage of the fire to rob, thirty-six plans for the fifth plan.
If the enemy is harmed inside, they will rob their land, if the enemy is harmed outside, they will rob their people, and if they are harmed internally and externally, they will be robbed of their country.
Sui Dynasty, at this time, the enemy is harmful, the internal harm is both, Zhang Xiao is sorry for himself if he doesn't make a penny.
In Liaodong, Fu Cailin, the master of the sword, relied on his swordsmanship to call for his swordsmanship, and trapped the Liaodong army of Emperor Yang of Sui.
Although Yang Xuangan is not a good idea to attack Luoyang.
Li Mi once gave advice to Yang Xuangan: according to Youzhou in the north, it is the best policy to cut off the back road of Emperor Yang; enter Chang'an in the west and control the Tongguan Pass (now northeast of Tongguan, Shaanxi) as the middle policy; and attack Luoyang nearby, the outcome is unpredictable, and the next policy is the next policy.
Strategists generally offer three strategies, but strictly speaking, the upper ones are the middle strategies.
The so-called best policy, that is a theoretical policy that can only be implemented in a very ideal state, according to Youzhou in the north, it sounds good to cut off the back road of Emperor Yang of Sui, and it may even kill Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty in a war and pacify the world, but in fact it is really impossible, after all, there are still three nails in the mud, and it is strange that the Sui Dynasty will perish so easily.
But the best strategy at least has the possibility of success, but is the next policy? It's like a turnip tied to a donkey's head, you can see it, but you can't eat much.
Because the eastern capital of Luoyang is one of the three major cities in the world, unless there is a problem inside, it is almost impossible to break it from the outside, Yang Xuan sensed the benefits of capturing Luoyang, but did not think about the feasibility of this matter.
However, for Zhang Xiao, it doesn't matter what Yang Xuangan does, as long as he ignites this fire.
The entire Sui Dynasty was attracted by Yang Xuangan, so that they could take advantage of the fire to rob.
Zhang Xiao's goal is not big, after all, his subordinates are 1,400 people, all of whom are captives from Hutou Village.
The reason why Zhang Xiao arranged it this way was actually out of some darker hearts - it was good to be successful, but if it was really dead, Zhang Xiao would not feel distressed.
In a sense, for Zhang Xiao, the iron guns, iron knives, and bows and arrows on these soldiers are more valuable, after all, Zhang Xiao exchanged the famous knife "Jing Zhongyue" for his hand.
After all, the hundred people under Liu Fu and the people of the military department are Zhang Xiao's foundation, and the foundation is not damaged, for Zhang Xiao, it is not a big problem.
Zhang Xiao's goal is not too big, because with this number of men and horses, Zhou County can't be defeated, and Zhang Xiao's goal is just a county town.
Michi County, a little-known place.
The reason why Zhang Xiao wants to attack this place is very simple, because the county order of this county is the most greedy in the entire Henan Province.
Zhang Xiaoliu's intelligence report sรน Zhang Xiao, the order of Mianchi County is not just three feet to scrape the ground, but it is said to be nine feet to scrape the ground.
The people's grievances are big, and the people can't survive, so it will be righteous for Zhang Xiao to raise troops there.
Because Zhang Xiao was in a hurry, he only let one of his men carry seven days' rations on his back and rush to Mianchi at a degree of ninety miles a day, but he arrived at a small cottage about ten miles outside Mianchi County in two days.
There were originally more than 200 rebels on this cottage, which were taken in by Zhang Xiao by the way.
The real co-optation, Zhang Xiao was not too forced.
"I said, Hammer, you haven't had enough to eat in a few days. Zhang Xiao looked at the original owner of this cottage with some tears and laughter, and a middle-aged man known as Qin Tiehammer opened his mouth and asked.
Zhang Xiao just said it casually, and didn't want to reach any answer.
"Five years, since Yuwen Chengfeng, that bastard, came to the county as a county magistrate five years ago, I haven't eaten a full meal. "Qin Tiezhu is a real honest person, and he really answered.
Zhang Xiao was speechless, not knowing what to say.
But Zhang Xiao had infinite confidence in attacking the county seat of Mianchi.
After hearing Qin Tiezhu's general introduction to the internal situation in Mianchi County, Zhang Xiao's confidence was even stronger.
"Lao Zhao, let the brothers rest for two hours, and after two hours, we will attack the city. Zhang Xiao instructed Zhao Jintong.
"Yes. Zhao Jintong replied a little cautiously, although Zhao Jintong was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiao's request, thinking that his men were already very tired after two days of travel, and at least they would attack the city tomorrow.
If you want to attack the city quickly, then do it now, rest for two hours, wouldn't the combat effectiveness of the soldiers be weaker?
However, Zhao Jintong didn't dare to speak back, because Zhao Jintong couldn't forget the bloody scene a few months ago.
It was this young man who looked very kind, who cut off the heads of more than 300 people with his own hands.
Therefore, Zhao Jintong did not dare to disobey Zhang Xiao's order.
Listen to what is right and listen to what is wrong.
What's more, Zhao Jintong knew from Qin Tiehammer how easy it was to fight in Mianchi County, although Zhang Xiao's order was not very timely, but it was not a big problem.
Four hours later, when Zhang Xiao attacked the county seat of Mianchi, it was much easier to attack than he thought.
Because along the way, Zhang Xiao did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and it was impossible to encounter decent resistance.
Although there are more than 30 soldiers guarding the city at the gate of Mianchi County, the problem is that these soldiers are so thin that they can even be blown away by a gust of wind.
As soon as more than 1,000 of Zhao Jintong's men rushed to the city gate, these soldiers scattered like dandelions blown away by the strong wind, and they couldn't even close the city gate.
This made Zhang Xiao, who was guarding the city gate and wanted to take the city gate by himself, very embarrassed.
Zhang Xiao and his army went on a rampage all the way, and they didn't encounter a little decent resistance until the county magistrate's mansion.
I have to say that Yuwen Chengfeng's more than 100 family members are quite brave, and a few of them have good martial arts.
But it was useless, first, there were a lot of men and horses under Zhang Xiao, but because Zhang Xiao's own force was too high.
These families are very brave and loyal, but after all, they are only more than fifty, and their martial arts are not too good, although they desperately caused five dead and ten wounded to Zhang Xiao's subordinates, but in the end they were all wiped out.
Of these people, Zhang Xiao killed one-third of them himself.
Then Zhang Xiao saw Yuwen Chengfeng, a guy with a big belly, a wine-colored face, and a cowering face.
In the face of this guy, there is nothing to say, just cut it.
But what Zhang Xiao didn't expect was that he used three knives to take off Yuwen Chengfeng's head.
Zhang Xiao suddenly came to his senses, Yuwen Chengfeng is a side disciple of Yuwen Valve, and his cultivation is Yuwen Valve's "Ice Xuanjin", and his strength is not bad, probably only a little lower than the old guy in Xiaoshan.
Of course, more importantly, Zhang Xiao's own strength has become lower.
Zhang Xiao's weapons are very chaotic now, sometimes he uses a gun, sometimes he uses a knife, and sometimes he uses a dog-beating stick.
Because, Zhang Xiao won't use it.
Although Zhang Xiao likes to use guns very much, Zhang Xiao does not have suitable marksmanship.
In a sense, Zhang Xiao is most suitable for using a dog stick, after all, Zhang Xiao is at least a lonely family's "cloak stick method" (dog stick method), but above the military formation, it is very stupid to use a stick.
Therefore, there is no big problem with what weapon Zhang Xiao uses now, as long as he doesn't use a sword.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao took a knife directly from his subordinates, and then slashed and slashed.
Zhang Xiao's knife skills are not good, just like marksmanship, only the most basic knife style.
In fact, Yuwen Chengfeng was at least able to block Zhang Xiao's five or six moves, but he was too afraid of death, so he died quickly.
However, no matter what the process is, Mianchi County is in Zhang Xiao's hands.
As the first piece of land under Zhang Xiao, Zhang Xiao naturally had to take a good inventory of the receipts.
What I didn't expect was that the inside of the warehouse in Mianchi County was so slippery that it could starve rats to death.
Zhang Xiao slapped his head violently, realizing that he had committed a stupid thing.
So Zhang Xiao returned to Yuwen Chengfeng's county mansion and searched carefully.
Zhang Xiao searched Yuwenfeng's mansion to the bottom of the sky, and after looking at the results, Zhang Xiao finally understood why Mianchi County was so light that it could be attacked.
(The siege in this chapter seems to be child's play, but if those who are familiar with history know, the real history is even more child's play.)
