Chapter 28, Publicizing the Doomsday (1)
Xihe County leveled Zhou City, and the battle finally started again.
This time there was almost no warning. Zhang Yang seemed to be crazy. Regardless of the opposition of the generals and the extremely low morale, he brazenly launched another attack on Pingzhou City.
Zhang Yang was indeed a little crazy at this moment. He had already received the battle report from Jinyang and even Shangdang. Just when he was in a stalemate with Lu Bu here, his two backyards actually caught fire at the same time, and the ones that started were not...
Ordinary fire.
Jinyang City has been besieged for a long time, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are extremely uneasy. However, the reinforcements coming from all around, ranging from three to five hundred to one or two hundred, were all lost in the hands of Lu Bu's army, which caused panic in the entire Taiyuan County.
, at this time Yang Chou naturally realized that the other party was probably encircling the point for reinforcements, but he did not have enough troops under his command, and he did not dare to venture out of the city to attack on his own initiative. For a while, there was a stalemate.
There, what's more critical for Zhang Yang is that there is still no news of the thousands of light cavalry reinforcements he sent led by his nephew Zhang Zhen. Not only has Jinyang not received news of their rescue, he here
There was no news of any trace of them, as if they suddenly disappeared from this world, which made Zhang Yang have a bad premonition, and at the same time, he was prepared for the worst; again
When it comes to Shangdang County, the situation is even worse. From the east of Guyuan, almost most of them were destroyed by the iron hoof of nearly 20,000 troops led by Lu Bu's general Gao Shun. Gao Shun's army was divided into four.
except the lord
The important ones are all outside Changzi City, and they are divided into three armies: upper, middle and lower. The upper road attacks Nie County, the middle road attacks Tunliu, and the lower road attacks Gaodu. Although each army only has 3,000 troops and horses, it is the most elite among Lu Bu's troops.
.Passed by Zhang Liaohe
Under Gao Shun's training, the three leaders of the Third Route Army were also the three veteran generals who had followed Lu Bu for a long time in Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army. They were rich in experience and know-how. Naturally, not surprisingly, they captured the three cities that had not had time to deploy much defense, and then
With the formation of four lines, it is likely that the generals will sweep away the Shangdang in one fell swoop. Although for now, the progress is unstoppable, they have not yet achieved effective occupation. However, it is foreseeable that this is only a matter of time.
What troubles Zhang Yang now is not only the bad situation in the two backyards, but also the doubts about these "extra" troops. He simply can't imagine where Lu Bu suddenly found these tens of thousands of extra troops.
Where did he get so many armies? Did he descend from the sky, pop up from the ground, or did he conjure up an army by spreading beans like Zhang Jiao, the so-called "Great Master"?
But no matter how he came out, Zhang Yang was now full of anger, and this anger also made his head more paranoid. He felt that all this was because he was blocked from the small Ping Zhou City. As long as he broke through Ping Zhou City,
If Zhou Cheng catches Lu Bu, then all this will be solved.
This battle was extremely brutal for both the attacking and defending parties.
It's the Great Cold now, it's still the coldest moment, and the ice wall on the Pingzhou City Wall still exists. But at this time, Zhang Yangjun seems to have completely ignored this thing that has caused them huge trouble before and now.
Under the whip of military orders, they only know how to keep rushing forward and upward. They can only stop when they stand on the top of the city, kill the defenders on the city, and capture the tower.
However, the defenders could not sit still and wait for death. Sharp arrows were flying, arrows were flying like rain, stones were rolling, and the artillery vehicles were so powerful that they could hardly stop for a moment.
Lu Bu was still in charge of the city in person, and his Fangtian painted halberd had been stained with too much Zhang Yangjun's blood. This time was no exception, but this time even he was frightened by Zhang Yang's crazy display at this moment.
, he completely ignored the consumption of personnel, and it seemed that he planned to destroy the city at the cost of a large number of human lives.
The two sides launched what can be said to be the most brutal battle since the siege of Zhangyang. At this moment, the existence of the ice wall seemed irrelevant, and because of Lu Bu's unintentional neglect, the defenders on the top of Pingzhou City seemed to be calm for days.
Zhong lost the original vigor and suddenly faced Zhang Yangjun's bravery again. For a moment, he was unable to withstand it. There were signs of losing ground on the left and right sides of the city wall.
Although Lu Bu is powerful, he is only one person after all, and he only has the strength of one person. He cannot take care of two places at all. He still needs to take care of the gap first. This is on the left side of the city tower. Zhang Yangjun who comes up will naturally
The Pingzhou defenders, who had rekindled their fighting spirit and morale under his leadership, were driven back, but the situation on the right was not optimistic.
They are retreating steadily. The number of enemy troops climbing up the tower here is increasing. The more this happens, the more it causes the defenders to panic. In panic, they are more likely to make mistakes and retreat faster. It is very difficult here.
Soon, Zhang Yangjun's world was almost dominated, and they quickly aimed at the left side. It seemed that they were going to flank Lu Bu and others with the soldiers below who were still trying to rush upward.
Looking at the menacing enemy troops over there, the defenders following Lu Bu couldn't help but become a little confused.
Of course, Lu Bu would not put himself in danger, and he was not sure that he could stop the attack of Zhang Yang's army with the strength of the troops in Pingzhou City. In addition to the two groups of strange soldiers, he also deployed back-ups in Pingzhou itself, but
Now is not the time to show it.
He was here in Pingzhou City, but the main thing was to stall for time. The last time the military information about a fire in Zhang Yang's backyard came over, Lu Bu wanted to see what choice he would make. In the end, Zhang Yang only sent back 10,000 cavalry.
As Lu Bu expected,
It seems that he has not given up completely, but the reduction of troops, especially the highly mobile cavalry being sent away, makes Zhang Yang still a little stretched, not in terms of the siege strategy of Pingzhou, but in guarding against Lu Bu and his deceitfulness.
backhand.
Especially this time, Zhang Yang, who deeply felt that he was being played, became more and more wary of Lu Bu. Even if Lu Bu sneezed in front of him, he might think that Lu Bu was playing some trick again.
But although Lu Bu was not afraid of Zhang Yang who went crazy, he would still have scruples. Just like now, leaving corpses everywhere, just for Zhang Yang to climb the tower and command an army to attack the city, Lu Bu was also a little bit overwhelmed.
He thought for a while, but after all, he still felt that the time had not come yet, so he just said to Wei Xu and others over there: "What are you still doing over there? Do you want to let this Yangjun run rampant on my tower?"
Wei Xu and others were shocked and did not dare to be rude. Knowing that Lu Bu was on the left, it would not be a big problem. They quickly led the troops to rush to the right, but they happened to run into Zhang Yangjun who was about to rush to the left. After all, they also
I recognized that the enemy general Lu Bu was on the left. If he could be captured or killed, the battle would not have to continue. However, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and faced a group of Wei Xu's blockers. The two sides fought hand to hand.
The battle soon became intense.
Although Wei Xu is somewhat unappreciative in Lu Bu's eyes, it depends on who he compares with. Not to mention Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, even Cao's character is naturally much better than Wei Xu in all aspects. The problem is that Wei Xu
He has continued to follow Lu Bu until now, not only because of his appearance and flattery, he also has some real power. At this moment, he feels that if he does not risk his life, it will not be good for Lu Bu or himself, how can he still survive?
Keep it in mind, a long halberd opened and closed is a killing move.
Perhaps under the influence of Lu Bu, Wei Xu also used a halberd, but his halberd was naturally not comparable to Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd. It only weighed twenty kilograms, and the tip of the halberd was only forked on one side, but compared with his
The combination of martial arts is quite powerful. At this time, under his leadership, he actually
Zhang Yangjun's offensive was stopped, which could not help but boost the morale of the defenders. Wei Xu's contagious voice also said at the right time: "Generals and soldiers, Marquis Wen and we have shed blood together, why should we fear the enemy? The enemy
If the army is crazy, we will be even crazier than them. If the city is destroyed, we would rather die!"
"If the city is destroyed, it is better to die!"
"Kill..." Wei Xu gripped his halberd and charged forward, followed closely by the soldiers. The waves were turbulent and irreversible.
Lu Bu looked at this scene and smiled happily, and at the same time he began to think about his positioning of Wei Xu; on the other side, several generals next to Zhang Yang saw this and quickly advised him for the countless times: "Your Majesty (general)
, it’s time to stop. Now there’s a fire in the backyard. The news hasn’t spread yet. The soldiers don’t know yet, but they can only hide it for a while. These must be Lu Bu’s plans over there. How could he let us?
If you continue to block the news, rumors will inevitably spread, and the situation will become even more unfavorable by then. There is no possibility that the army may even mutiny. If the situation is allowed to worsen, it is better to retreat cautiously at this time, and then the envoy will give an explanation.
, the military morale is stable, and the important matters in the rear are laid first. As for Lu Bu, if there is no chance this time, there will be another opportunity. As long as you can develop with peace of mind and become stronger, what will Lu Bu have to fear?"
"Yes, yes..." The generals responded in unison, and these words expressed their true feelings.
Zhang Yang lowered his voice and didn't know whether to ask them or himself: "If I miss this opportunity, will there be another one? Hehe, I don't even know if this time is an opportunity, or maybe Lu Fengxian is doing it for me
A trap dug is more suitable."
The generals were silent. In fact, at this point, if you still can't figure this out, it's really a matter of IQ. But they have nothing to say. Although Zhang Yang advocated the expedition at the beginning, as subordinates, they did not actually do anything.
Even if we try to stop it, we cannot say that we have no responsibility at all. All we can do now is try our best to make up for it and redeem it.
Zhang Yang's eyes have always been indifferent, but those who observe carefully can easily detect the deep sadness in the corner of his eyes at this time, "Sing the gold, withdraw the troops."
