A moment ago.
Zheng Jin stood at the top of the city and looked into the distance. In the second half of the night tonight, he was responsible for the city defense of Dangqu City. He led a few personal soldiers and circled the city walls twice. After being so hot that he was sweating all over and his face was covered in oil.
He is obese, so he is particularly afraid of heat and is not suitable for living in the wet and hot Bashu. When the people around him look at him, they all work hard for him. But he is in a good spirit, holding a knife, holding a snare, and stalking with his head up.
Over the past few months, he has become more skilled in controlling the scouts' inquiry work, and his daily life has been trusted by Lei Yuan. Although he is not as good as the Fan brothers back then, he is vaguely better than Li Qi, Wang Bei and others. This is a feeling that Zheng Jin, who has had a complicated military experience, prompting him to be very energetic.
Then he saw Song Ming shaking violently in the distance, which was placed at a checkpoint in the north.
"There is a situation!" he said.
The personal soldiers followed his sight and said, "Two up and down, twice left and right, a large group of people came!"
The next moment, they saw a large group of people fighting and shouting in the originally quiet forests and fields north of the city. The sound kept approaching, as if two teams were constantly fighting in the deep mountains, one team fighting and retreating, while the other team chased and surrounded and killed frantically with a heart-pounding roar. The firelight stirring of the two teams slowly illuminated the sky light.
"Rhyme the drum, blow the trumpet, warn the general!" Zheng Jin said loudly.
Several personal soldiers ran away.
The soldiers who were resting under the city climbed the city tower one after another and were ready for battle.
Zheng Jin was still at the top of the city. He saw a group of people rushing out of the darkness from afar, and then was entangled in the center of Gai by many barbarians. Under the night, the team of people vaguely clashed, struggling to break through and intercept, running straight down the city.
Behind them, the barbarians seemed to be afraid of the Han soldiers on the city. They chased after half a mile and gave up. But they were unwilling to give up, so they slowly approached carefully, just like waves surged one after another, but they piled up far from the city outside the light and shadow on the city, gathering into a black and messy piece.
Taking advantage of this time, the fleeing people rushed to the city, and many people shouted: "Open the door! Open the door!"
Zheng Jin poked his head out and looked down, asking, "Where did you come from?"
The city was full of talk and shouted: "We are the defenders of Hanchang City! Hanchang City is broken! We broke through! Open the city gate!"
Zheng Jin waved his hands repeatedly and asked his subordinates to light up the torch.
I looked closely and saw that the people behind the queue were in the darkness and could not see clearly; there were several people in front of the queue, each of whom was covered in dust, and his clothes and armor were broken, which was obviously the remnants of the fierce battle day and night. They were all eager, and there were a few screams and a few sounds, full of impatience and tension.
"What do you think?" someone around him asked.
Zheng Jin hurriedly turned sideways and found that Lei Yuan had arrived: "General?"
"What do you want to open the door?"
The pursuers in the distance gradually approached; the shouts at the city were rising one after another, as if boiling. A few people riding horses and officers rolled off their horses, begging with trembling voices, and some were probably very scared and howled in despair. Zheng Jin laughed in the noise: "These people are most likely to have problems and cannot open the door."
"How can I see it?"
"Dangqu City is a major city in Baxi County second only to Langzhong. It has always been stationed with heavy troops. If the enemy dares to approach, a rain of arrows on the top of the city will let them settle the account. There are only a hundred and dozens of "defeated soldiers" in front of them. At this moment, they are completely under the cover of crossbows on the top of the city. There is no need to worry about the pursuit soldiers approaching and killing. In other words, they are already safe. Since that is the case, what are you in a hurry to enter the city?"
While talking, Zheng Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was not nervous, but was eager to try: "The Han family has its own rules to defend the city. Even in ordinary times, they cannot open the city easily at night, let alone during wartime? These people are just trying to open the city without hesitation, which is a clumsy way."
"It's very good." Lei Yuan patted his shoulder.
"General, what should we do?" Zheng Jin held the hilt in his hand and whispered: "Put some people down from the side and fuck him a cruel one?"
Lei Yuan said: "Don't be impatient for a moment."
Lei Yuan had long concluded that these people must be cheating.
In other words, Lei Yuan has been waiting for their appearance.
When news of Hanchang being besieged, Lei Yuan had repeatedly hesitated whether to send troops to rescue him. Later, Deng Zhi was invited, and Deng Zhi analyzed the situation for Lei Yuan and said something.
At that time, Deng Zhi said directly: "Since the general came to Brazil, he must understand the geographical situation of Brazil and knew that Hanchang City was the key to guard the Mikang Road. Therefore, he was so worried when he learned that Hanchang was surrounded. But in fact, there is no need."
"What do you mean by sir?"
"Hanchang is small, but it is very strong. The new Hanchang Changhu Du is a smart and capable talent. The county magistrate Ju Fu is also capable. No matter how big the barbarians attack, they will never fall easily. Of course, if the attacker is not satisfied, but Cao's army, it is hard to say. However, Cao's army crossed Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and came to Brazil County thousands of miles away. No loss can be made up for any loss. If I were a general of the Cao army, I would never allow my own soldiers to attack the city. So in Hanchang, there were nine out of ten, the local Han and barbarians were fighting and bleeding."
Deng Zhi sighed and continued: "At this moment, both Cao and Liu armies are far away from their homeland and fighting thousands of miles away. The forces of both sides are very precious and cannot be wasted. They only wish and can only be used for direct confrontation between the two sides. If one side does anything, it is all to create opportunities for direct confrontation. Only by winning in direct confrontation is a meaningful victory."
Lei Yuan pondered for a moment: "Mr. Bo Miao, you said before that you are impartial between the Cao and Liu families. Why did you explain it to me so thoroughly now?"
Deng Zhi sighed deeply again: "The Cao and Liu families confronted each other. At this moment, they took many lives inside and outside Hanchang City under Liu Yizhou to act. How innocent are these people? I just want you to decide the winner as soon as possible and not waste the lives of the people in this county."
Lei Yuan nodded slightly: "I understand."
He thought for a while and stood up to salute Deng Zhi solemnly: "Please help me with a little favor so that the Cao and Liu families can distinguish between the two families here."
Although Deng Zhi looks irritable and unruly, he is not a scholar who claims to be aloof and deviates from reality, but a person who steadily deals with civil affairs and wants to do something practical for the local area. He is even more compassionate and does not want the two armies to use Brazil as the battlefield for a long time, and even the lives are in trouble.
So he reminded Lei Yuan that all the enemy's actions were to create opportunities for direct confrontation between the two armies, and he also hoped that Lei Yuan would defeat Cao's army as soon as possible, to set the situation down and avoid delays in the war.
Although he always claimed that he did not take any stance towards the Cao and Liu families, he also clearly stated that the battle in Hanchang was to attract snakes to move. This was already an obvious bias, and Lei Yuan was very grateful.
Then Lei Yuan asked Deng Zhi to come forward and release his decision not to rescue Hanchang.
With the intertwined forces of the Han and Man forces in Dangqu County, this decision will inevitably be passed on to the barbarians. If Deng Zhi had expected it well, the barbarians would naturally give up besieging Hanchang, and Xu Huang would have other ways to target Dangqu. This new method is likely to be derived from the Hanchang war.
Lei Yuan held his troops and waited for several days, but now he has indeed waited for the next move of the enemy.
As long as these "defeated soldiers" were given the opportunity, they would inevitably suddenly seize the city gate. Then Cao's army arrived in large numbers and broke through the Dangqu at night.
Everything was as expected.
From the perspective of Cao Jun, since Hanchang County’s request for help cannot be effective, what will happen if the defeated soldiers in Hanchang County are here? It seems that Xu Huang has put in the effort to gather such a group of smart soldiers. If he doesn’t do anything, he will be disappointed with the affection and affection of his opponent.
At this time, Li Zhen hurried up from behind the city and said a few words to Lei Yuan.
