Chapter 97 Capture Hanzhong at night
The symposium was very successful. At least everyone came here unhappily, but left Yecheng with a smile. During this period, Liu Ming also planned to poach Liu Ye or Zhang Hong, but it seemed that his domineering aura was not very strong, so the two left.
Liu Ming, who was in a bad mood, naturally found his teacher Cheng Yu and asked why this happened.
"It's nothing more. Fame and reputation and family. Zhang Hong is from a family, and the relationship between the lord and the aristocratic family seems to be getting farther and farther away. The aristocratic family that once supported the lord, including the family of his father-in-law, is now neutral and watching coldly. Although he will not help others, he is afraid that he will have no good face to his lord. Therefore, it is normal for Zhang Hong to not come to surrender.
As for Liu Ye, he was at least the leader in Cao Cao's place, but when he came to us, he was afraid that he would start at the grassroots level. The lord had abolished the system of promotion above the level, so he naturally had no chance. Therefore, he would not come, and he was no longer young. The older he was, the less spirit he was in fighting." Cheng Yu smiled and explained to Liu Ming.
"When it comes to the aristocratic family... Liu Bei's entry into Liangzhou this time is quite popular." Liu Ming quickly thought of another thing.
"The lord oppressed the aristocratic family to that point, and the aristocratic families will naturally rebound. Fortunately, these aristocratic families still know how to restrain themselves. They may just want to tell the lord that a force cannot leave the aristocratic family. If you leave or even have a stable place, there will be some problems. I hope you, lord, pay more attention to them." Cheng Yu sighed.
"I do not intend to suppress the aristocratic families in absolutely manner. I just hope that the aristocratic families and poor families can compete fairly. The main reason for the decline of China is that a few people occupy most of the land, and most people cannot survive, so they will rebel. Under the promotion of the aristocratic families, it will eventually become a disaster that subverts the dynasty.
Therefore, I feel that if I want to make a dynasty last forever, the first thing I need to do is to avoid such a thing. Besides, I am not without compensation. I can compensate a lot in terms of business and industry." Liu Ming also felt wronged.
Cheng Yu smiled. He knew that Liu Ming had good intentions, but it was a pity that the Chinese people had a very profound plot about the land. They would rather stay at one acre of three cents of land to collect rent than go to do business, even if the status of a businessman is not so low now.
Everything can only be solved by time. Now I can only find a way to let a new dynasty appear.
At the same time, Zhao Yun and others were already stationed outside Hanzhong City, waiting for the arrival of night.
Everyone knows that in today's combat mode, the thick city wall is useless, but it is still very good to use it to install cannons. Facing the city wall on Zhao Yun's side, more than 60 cannons were placed densely, which is also the main reason why Zhao Yun dared not attack the city immediately.
The cover attack of sixty cannons is very destructive. Besides, according to the information reported by the Jinyiwei, there are also strong archers trained by Zhang Ren on the city wall, which can be shot at medium and long distances. As for the close and medium-range distances, the opponent has grenades.
What is depressing is that Liu Bei's artillery is not as powerful as his own, but with the help of the towering city wall, the range is barely aligned with Liu Ming's artillery. Therefore, there is not much difference between the two sides in the artillery. He can bomb the city wall, and the other party can also blow up his artillery from such a distance.
It can be said that the best way to deal with such a city is to surround it until it is completely ammunition and food. However, as a relay point, there will be no shortage of food and grass and ammunition, and we will definitely support the arrival of reinforcements.
But it doesn't matter. If it weren't for being confident enough, how could Zhao Yun be stationed there obediently, instead of launching an attack on Hanzhong while it was still early.
"I don't know what's going on with Yihuo and the others now." Zhao Yun was doing nothing, and he was really a little irritated at this moment.
"Let's rest assured, they are all professionals, and since the other party has not noticed it, it should be safely involved." Guo Jia was not worried.
As early as when he was fighting with Zhang Ren, more than 300 members of the Dragon Group, including Yihuo, had secretly lurked into Hanzhong City. At that time, the large army was busy confronting Liu Ming's army, and the soldiers guarding the city had dropped a lot, so they ignored this army and let them get in.
I really don't know how they are inside now. The only thing I know is that it is very quiet inside, which means they are at least not discovered.
From noon to night, Zhao Yun was resting. Even if he couldn't sleep, he had to force himself to fall asleep, because they would launch a night attack tonight, and they wouldn't be able to do so if they were in poor spirits.
At the same time, it was in Hanzhong City.
The members of the Dragon Group gathered in the secret room of the Jinyiwei base, which was temporarily safe. They were resting at this moment and were waiting for the arrival of night. Only when the night was late, would they go out in the tunnel of the secret room and carry out this action.
It was just a blink of an eye, and it arrived at three o'clock in the morning.
The group walked out on the side of a dry well and climbed up with the concave and convex surfaces deliberately prepared on the edge of the dry well. The exit of the dry well was in a slum area.
The people here are all suffering in Hanzhong City. They have to do heavy work during the day, so they go to bed at night and sleep very heavily. When they come out here, the least you need to worry about is that they will be discovered in the middle of the night.
It is precisely because this is a slum, it is dirty, messy and smelly. The general city guards often check this area casually. They will feel uncomfortable when they stay here for most seconds.
Soon, the members of the dragon group entered a lurking state.
In this state, breathing will be reduced to the limit, and the heartbeat will enter a state similar to hibernation. The most important thing is that the movement of true qi will be blocked. Therefore, even if someone vaguely sees something, he will not think that he is a person.
The only side effect is that in this state, combat power will almost drop to the lowest point.
With the help of night and black clothes, the group quietly lurked to the city gate.
Some of the people changed into a pair of metal-made pointed gloves, grabbed it on the city wall, and quickly climbed up. Then, they killed the patrol soldiers as soon as possible, and immediately controlled the brackets of the inner door switch and the fort.
Doing all this, they gestured to the brothers on standby below.
The man in black who received the signal quickly threw out some hidden weapons and shot the guards of the city gate. Then, the man in black on the city tower opened the inner gate gate and went out to open the outer gate.
When a gap was opened in Hanzhong, they were decisively discovered by other soldiers patrolling the city.
The alarm sounded throughout Hanzhong City, and they were greeted by the artillery attacks that had been prepared. The artillery that had originally attacked the enemy outside had now been turned around and attacked the city.
With waves of roar, one after another of fresh lives left the world. The gate opened, and Zhao Yun's cavalry team had been ready for a long time and launched a charge into the city.
In just about a minute, they rushed into the gate and launched a charge in Hanzhong City.
The entire Hanzhong suddenly became in chaos, and all the defenders were quickly divided into pieces, and they could not form strong combat power. Many people were even prepared to escape, which further reduced the garrison power of Hanzhong.
At dawn, Hanzhong City returned to Liu Ming's hands.
