"First be invincible, then fight, chase and fight for profit, and the soldiers will have no time to eat." Wei Shu of the Three Kingdoms
Just when the ghost soldier screamed in surprise, the wind suddenly picked up and the rain poured down. This heavy rain that had been accumulated for a long time was like the sky breaking at this moment.
The ghost soldiers at the city gate still couldn't believe that there was an army in front of them that was illuminated by lightning for a moment. At this time, the surroundings were filled with the sound of wind, rain, and thunder. The sky was dark, the ground was dark, and the water was pouring. It was like the end of the world, and they couldn't move.
Dare to move, as if being struck by lightning, holding your breath and listening to the overwhelming, low, powerful, and majestic shouts in this noisy environment.
kill
Another bolt of lightning passed through the sky, and the army that was far away at the end of the road now actually ran to a place less than a few dozen steps away from the city gate. The lightning briefly pointed out the way forward for them, and also illuminated each of them.
With a ferocious and roaring face, this army of unknown origin was covered in mud, as if it had just crawled out of the mud, which gave people a great visual impact.
"It's a ghost soldier!"
Under Zhang Lu's rule, all those who learned the Five Pecks of Rice method were initially called ghost soldiers. These ghost soldiers were deeply influenced by the thoughts of ghosts and gods. When they saw the terrifying scene in front of them, they immediately took their seats and regarded them as ghost soldiers from the underworld.
.Although I don’t know how many people there are on the other side, maybe ten thousand, maybe one hundred thousand, but seeing their elusive whereabouts and terrifying and ferocious momentum, these people had no intention of resisting, turned around and ran towards the city.
While running, he shouted out of fear:
"The ghost soldiers are coming! The ghost soldiers under the spring are coming to the human world!"
Chenggu County, which has short walls and shallow ponds, was suddenly alarmed. The defenders on the city wall had witnessed all this early. They, including the defenders, scrambled to run down the city wall. The defenders hurriedly went down the ladder of the city wall.
They rolled around and trampled and trampled countless people to death. Some people were so frightened that they couldn't wait and jumped off the city wall, falling half to death.
Infantry Colonel Xu Huang took the lead and led a group of young commanders, such as Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Meng Da and others, all wearing light leather armor and holding knives, and led more than 4,000 people behind him towards Chengdu like crazy.
Gu rushed away. Not long ago, they were in Xingshi Mountain. Seeing that it had not rained for a long time, but the rain clouds were getting bigger and bigger, Xu Huang immediately gave up the idea of taking a rest and led the whole army to rush all the way from the mouth of the valley to
Cheng solid.
Along the way, hundreds of people fell behind due to lack of physical strength and other reasons. The whole army was exhausted, but Xu Huang turned a blind eye to this. He didn't even order anyone to build the ladder, just to take advantage of the thunderstorm and twilight to get the upper hand.
, creating the current situation.
At this time, Xu Huang took advantage of the flash of lightning in the night sky and saw the city gate wide open and the chaos on the city wall. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He first led Zhao Yun and others into the city. Amidst the roaring wind and rain, he couldn't help but
He kept yelling, which caused his usually calm face to become ferocious: "Zhao Zilong! Taishi Ziyi! You and others will seize the four city walls and block the city gates! Anyone who dares to resist will be executed."
!”
After finishing speaking, Xu Huang did not wait for a response and ran straight to the county government in the city with Meng Da and hundreds of elite infantry battalions who had passed through the city gate first.
"Your Majesty, General!" Zhao Yun and Tai Shici stood guard at the city gate and responded in unison. After the main force that followed poured into the city gate, they gathered a crowd to attack the city wall, and the sky flashed frequently.
The electric light illuminated the city wall like daylight. Taishi Ci took a look at the enemy army and led his troops into the enemy army, slashing with swords. His body was covered with wet blood, which soaked into the armor and flowed out from the military uniform, as if from the army.
Washed in blood.
Zhao Yun was worried that the night was too dark and there might be accidental injuries, so he just waved the knife in front of him a few times, and then reminded Taishi Ci and others to turn back, form a simple military formation with the soldiers and horses behind them, and gradually drive away the enemy soldiers on the top of the city.
Kill them all.
During the heavy rain, more and more infantry battalions descended on the city. The defenders could not resist and fled one after another. At this time, some people began to search hundreds of rosin torches, as well as umbrellas and quilts from the city gate tower.
To provide dry food and other military supplies, Zhao Yun ordered people to light torches dotted on the city wall, covered them with umbrellas, and went around the city wall separately with Tai Shici.
After confirming that there were no more hidden enemy soldiers, Zhao Yun left the men who still had the strength and energy to stay on the four city gate towers, sheltering from the rain while conducting sentinel inspections, while the remaining four thousand people were placed there.
They rested in the original camp of the defenders. After the two of them had planned various defenses, patrols, and rotations, Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci didn't even have time to take a breath. Then they received an order from Xu Huang, saying
The county government has been captured. The situation tonight is special. We must strictly guard the city defenses, calm the morale of the troops, and wait until dawn.
Fortunately, it was just a thunderstorm that night, and there was no unexpected incident of the enemy troops returning. The more than four thousand people had a good night's rest in the warm and peaceful camp. When they woke up the next day, the city was covered with accumulations almost everywhere.
Water, the blood stains after last night's fighting were washed clean by the heavy rain. If it weren't for the broken corpses scattered in the corner, it would seem that nothing happened last night, but it happened quietly here.
In between, the situation on this side was completely overturned.
The sky is sunny, the blue sky is as clear as a wash. Standing at the top of the city and looking eastward, the end of the continuous Han River is a magnificent morning glow.
Zhao Yun was fascinated at the top of the city. The edges and corners of his face became somewhat soft under the sunlight, as if covered with a layer of red gauze.
"Zilong!" Taishi Ci came up behind him and shouted his cousin's name in a very low voice, as if he didn't want to disturb the young Yulin Army Sima's distraction.
"Ziyi." Zhao Yun turned his head, and soon saw the energetic look on his face, and said with a smile, "You had a good night's sleep."
"Don't say that." Taishi Ci said with a smile. He is one or two years older than Zhao Yun, but the other party has participated in a series of battles such as Hedong's counterinsurgency. In terms of experience and achievements, he is far better than him. For Taishi Ci,
He is a senior, not to mention that he has a friendship with Xu Huang. Although Taishi Ci does not like the idea of camping, he can become friends with a young, promising and easy-to-approach peer like Zhao Yun, even if he is attacked by others.
Taishi Ci felt it was indifferent to the gossip and clinging behind his back: "No one is more tired than anyone else."
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, looked at Tai Shi Ci with a smile, and nodded in agreement: "You're right, no one is more tired than anyone else in the war. We are all the same in the army. But"
He turned around and said, "I thought you were going to say that you were on duty at the city gate in the middle of the night and you were more tired than me."
"I'm not such a person." Taishi Ci felt happy. Zhao Yun and he were both people who didn't like to joke in front of strangers. Only when they regarded each other as friends in their hearts would they say a few teasing words. It can be seen that Zhao Yun
