Chapter 149 Capture Wancheng, a new era is coming!
Wancheng, Ximen.
Outside the city, there are banners and banners, and there are many soldiers and armor.
Lieutenant Jiang Du stood proudly at the top of the city, scanning the soldiers and horses outside the city with bright eyes.
At first, he was still in awe of this army. After all, the opponent only took half a day to capture the pass.
But when he learned that the other party did not divide his troops and look at the other three gates, he couldn't help but smile, and the awe in his heart dropped by seven points.
I have only heard of surrounding three and one, but I have never heard of the tactic of surrounding one and three.
Although the opponent has five thousand people, it can be inferred that the commander must have no combat experience.
Wancheng is different from Zhuanguan!
There is a city wall in Zhuanguan, and the attackers and defenders are fighting for their hard power, but Wancheng has four gates. It is not only the hard power of the attackers and defenders, but more importantly, the soft power of strategies and tactics such as troop distribution.
now.
There are thousands of soldiers and horses in Wancheng, which is on par with the enemy troops outside the city. Although they lost consecutive fierce battles at Wubao and their morale was somewhat damaged, they are not inferior to their opponents in many other aspects.
In addition, we have the geographical advantage of city defense. In terms of hard power, the two sides are evenly matched. Even the geographical advantage of city defense will gradually affect morale. Over time, our hard power will surpass that of our opponents.
As for soft power such as strategy and tactics?
snort!
Lieutenant Jiang Du was full of confidence, and the gang of laymen outside the city were no match for him.
Waving his hand to the messengers to come forward, Lieutenant Jiang Du ordered: "Go quickly and mobilize the guards from the other three gates. You only need to leave a team of soldiers and horses to be on guard. If you encounter an enemy situation, beat the drum to warn and there will be support."
The messenger handed over his hand: "No."
Immediately.
He turned around and left to convey instructions to the other three doors.
At this moment, under the banner of a large banner outside the city, Liu Bian stood reining in his horse and looked at the city in the distance.
The city was crowded with soldiers and horses, and many soldiers and horses came from the north gate and south gate to strengthen the defense of the west gate.
"Your Highness's plan is brilliant. It really attracted the troops from the other three sects."
Xun Yu twisted his beard and smiled lightly, staring at the increasing number of troops at the top of the city. It felt like a conspiracy had succeeded: "Once the strength of the opponent's troops at the top of the city does not change, we can act according to the plan and seize Wancheng."
"Um."
Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief and simply responded: "Is Wenyuan ready?"
Xun Yu bowed his head and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the scouts just reported back. Wen Yuan led the cavalry to take a detour. Now they have reached the designated position and can launch an attack at any time."
"very good."
Have to admit it.
There is no doubt about the professionalism of famous historical generals.
Liu Bian only needs to issue the order, and Zhang Liao will think clearly about the rest and complete the order perfectly.
a long time.
There were no traces of soldiers and horses moving around the city, which proved that the deployment of troops had been completed.
Today, the North Gate of Wancheng has the smallest number of troops, which is the perfect opportunity to attack.
Liu Bian rode his horse out of the military formation, raised his eyes to the guard at the top of the city, and said loudly: "No matter who you are, I will give you one last chance. Zhang Zishi is a thief and eagle of Dong. If you put down your butcher knife, open the city and offer sacrifices."
If you surrender, you can still live, but if you help Zhou to do evil, you will definitely die."
"Hahaha!"
A burst of wild laughter sounded from the top of the city.
Captain Jiang glared at Liu Bian and replied without any hesitation: "How dare you, a traitor to the imperial court, to make such a noise here? Stop talking nonsense. If you want to take my life, then come and fight!"
The netizens in the live broadcast room were excited again. A group of 24k pure dicks who were watching the excitement cheered in unison:
"Wucao! You're so arrogant, Mr. Ben will challenge him~~"
"Prince of Hell: Your Highness, don't worry, this kid is dead!"
"Hurry up and do it, my blood is already boiling."
"Haha, if we take Wancheng, we will become a prince."
"Come on, Mr. Ben!"
"..."
Liu Bian was too lazy to talk nonsense.
Since the other party shows no mercy, why should I be polite?
He no longer wasted words, and immediately reined in his horse and returned to the army, giving a sonorous order: "Give Deng Zhi the order."
On the side, Deng Zhan cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "No."
Whoosh~~
The arrow shot through the clouds and rose into the sky.
At the top of Wancheng City, Lieutenant Jiang stared at the sky and smiled: "They are indeed a bunch of laymen. They launched the attack with the sound of arrows. Is it possible that there are no war drums in the army?"
"this......"
While thinking, Captain Jiang's eyes fell on the soldiers and horses outside the city.
But see...
There are five war drums the size of a rolling plate placed in the array.
What's going on?
Jiang Duwei was surprised and felt a sense of uneasiness flashing through his heart.
Since the opponent's army had war drums, why didn't they use them and instead used sounding arrows to give orders?
Now that the sounding arrow has been launched into the sky, why are the soldiers and horses outside the city immobile?
Could it be...
Isn't this sounding arrow an order to the soldiers and horses outside the city?
At this thought, Lieutenant Jiang's complexion suddenly changed, his thick eyebrows tightened, and the uneasiness in his heart quickly surged through his body like a biting chill.
He shuddered subconsciously, as if he felt like he was being targeted by death.
"Kill~~~"
The next second, a faint shout sounded in the air.
Jiang Duwei quickly turned back to the inner wall and looked in the direction of the sound.
Dong dong dong~~~
Don't wait for him to figure out where he's in trouble.
The dense sound of golden drums is like rolling spring thunder, coming like an overwhelming force.
"Captain, it's the North Gate!"
The soldiers beside him raised their fingers and pointed to the north gate.
"I know!"
Captain Jiang was furious.
He couldn't believe it.
The opponent actually set up an ambush in Wancheng.
The sounding arrows are not to give orders to the soldiers and horses outside the city, but to send messages to the ambushes in the city.
"Damn it!"
Lieutenant Jiang Du cursed secretly, without hesitation, he gave a sonorous order: "You will return to the north gate as quickly as possible to provide support, without making any mistakes."
The soldiers who originally came from the north gate to support responded to the order in unison: "No."
Immediately.
There was a huge crowd of people, heading straight to the north gate.
As soon as Wancheng's defenders moved, Liu Bian knew that Deng Zhi had already taken action. He immediately waved his hand gently without hesitation: "Attack the city!"
Give an order.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The golden drums shook the sky, and the three armies were invigorated.
"Kill~~~"
Strong shouts of killing sounded randomly.
Zhu Tong and Deng Zhan personally led their elite troops and swarmed toward the west gate of Wancheng.
Captain Jiang at the head of the city looked back and glanced outside the city, his face was bulging with anger and he was burning with anger.
He was completely angered.
His eyes were as wide as bells, and his beard and hair were spread out, like a mad lion.
"It's a wonderful plan to attack the east and attack the west, and coordinate the inside and the outside."
"Giblets~~"
Lieutenant Jiang Du gritted his steel teeth, let out a cry, and drew his sword out of its sheath: "If you want to contain our troops, you must have that ability. A bunch of ragtag people dare to act recklessly in front of this Captain."
"Brothers!"
Jiang Duwei pointed his sword at the sky, hysterical: "Don't pay attention to the arrows, hit me hard!"
Wancheng defender: "No."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows fell from the sky like a downpour, but they still could not stop the charge of soldiers and horses outside the city. They were like a group of bloodthirsty wolves, holding weapons and howling towards the city.
Aerial ladders were erected one after another under the city, and the soldiers climbed up with knives in hand. They braved rocks and rolled logs, rushing forward and succeeding, fearless of death.
"Crossbowman, release arrows for me."
"Stop them and never let them come up."
"Throw rocks and logs and hit me hard!"
"Don't be afraid, go up!"
"..."
*****
Wancheng, North Gate.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The golden sound exploded, and the sparks burst out.
In the blink of an eye, corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.
Phew~~
Deng Zhi stabbed a Wancheng defender to death with one sword. He raised his eyes to the top of the city and saw at least a hundred elite soldiers coming from the west gate. Reinforcements continued to arrive from the rear.
Deng Zhi understands.
There is not much time left for yourself.
He did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately gave a sonorous order: "Deng Peng, Deng Yi, lead people to guard the stone stairs, and leave the city gate to me!"
Deng Peng and Deng Yi responded in unison: "Promise."
Immediately.
The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, went straight to the stone stairs on both sides of the city gate to guard against the reinforcements coming from the direction of the city head.
Deng Zhi held a three-foot green sword and waved fiercely: "Brothers, follow me to kill!"
Shan, a descendant of the Deng family, shouted: "Kill~~"
But see...
Deng Zhi rushed forward with an arrow, his eyes were like cold stars, and in an instant he stabbed down several defenders standing in front of him. This frightened the defenders of Wancheng to the point where their eyes suddenly turned red and their faces turned red, and they felt hatred in their hearts.
"Deng Peng, Deng Yi?"
"Could it be..."
In the direction of the city gate, a burly man wearing armor was slightly startled: "The person coming is a member of the Deng clan in Nanyang? The ancestors of the Deng family are all loyal and good ministers. Why did you collude with the imperial court to commit rebellion?"
"It should be noted that this is a serious crime of destroying three tribes of barbarians. You should stop immediately, otherwise the Deng family of Nanyang will be punished. You will be the sinners of the Deng family of Nanyang. You will be sharpening your sword by then and it will be too late to regret."
Deng Zhi ignored him and rushed forward to kill him.
His figure floated, and he struck out very quickly. The blood-stained sword in his palm shone with a deadly edge. He would die if he touched it, and if he touched it, he would die. The Wancheng defenders who crossed paths with him all stared blankly and fell down. They were truly extremely brave.
Shred the front line of defense.
Deng Zhi continued to charge and went straight towards the city gate. His eyes were sharp and murderous: "Who is the traitor? I, Deng Zhi, cannot comment. God will decide for himself!"
"but......"
Deng Zhi's voice was loud and clear, like a bell exploding: "You ignorant and foolish people have helped the tyrants to commit crimes. They have committed a heinous crime. If you just let them go, you can just leave it alone. If not, don't blame me, Deng Zhi, for being ruthless with the sword."
"snort!"
The burly man snorted angrily: "The Deng family has been loyal for generations, how could you be so evil! Brothers, follow me up, kill this beast, and defend Wancheng."
The Wancheng defenders shouted in unison: "Kill~~"
Immediately.
A swarm of bees rushed towards Deng Zhi.
Deng Zhi, however, was completely unafraid. He followed strange steps and faced the oncoming soldiers and horses, striking them head-on. His sword followed him, and he struck, stabbed, and teased. His moves were free and easy, just like a dragon playing in the water.
, shuttled among the Wancheng defenders.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The light was as cold as a star, and blood splattered everywhere.
A moment later, the Wancheng defenders who were at the forefront had a sword mark on their vital points, whether between their brows, their throats, or their hearts!
The burly and strong man looked frightened.
The young man named Deng Zhi in front of him would never make a move. Once he did, he would make a killing move. His grasp of timing was extremely perfect, and he was perfect to the extreme.
He is obviously just a young man with the waist of a wasp and the arms of a monkey, but who would have thought that his swordsmanship skills could be so high!
I am afraid......
Even among the Deng family members, this person is ranked high.
If you think about it carefully, this person can actually attract such a large number of Deng clan members at such a young age. He may have the support of the Deng clan behind him. Is it possible that they really want to rebel?
Or should I say...
Hiss~~
The burly and strong man was just astonished.
Deng Zhi killed another person and rushed to the front. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and struck out with a sword. The blade of the sword glowing with blood roared towards him. Suddenly, there was sword energy flowing freely.
"I......"
The burly man's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously dodged sideways.
However, Deng Zhi seemed to have expected it. The thrust of the sword seemed to break away from the constraints of time and space. The ruthless and cold sword energy flew across the air, like the sound of a phoenix.
Phew~~~
The burly man didn't have time to dodge, and fell down with his eyes wide open. Blood surged out from the arteries in his neck like a spring, but the last moment of fear and shock was still retained in his eyes.
However!
Deng Zhi jumped over, as if he had just killed a pawn: "Hurry, open the city gate quickly, and the rest of the people will support Deng Peng. Deng Yi must stop the reinforcements coming from the top of the city."
Deng clan members: "Nuo."
Squeak~~~
The gate of Wancheng slowly opened.
Not long after, a crimson lightning flashed past Deng Zhi's eyes, followed by the rumble of the ground, and countless cavalry filed into the turbulent smoke:
"Kill~~~"
The shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth.
Deng Zhi raised the corners of her lips slightly and finally let out a sigh of relief.
but......
However, he did not relax at all. He immediately turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to the prefect's mansion and capture Zhang Zi. That will be your first achievement!"
The situation was settled, and the morale of the Deng clan members soared. They all charged forward with their swords in hand, as if they had endless strength in their bodies.
And at the west gate of Wancheng.
Lieutenant Jiang Du is struggling to direct the battle.
suddenly.
A loud neighing of horses sounded in the city.
Looking back, I saw a horse riding Juechen approaching. The opponent was wearing heavy armor and holding a horse spear, charging straight at the city gate defenders without any fancy.
This person is none other than General Zhang Liao!
puff!
The long spear stabs hard and easily passes through the armor.
Then, Zhang Liao swung with great force, sweeping the corpses of the Wancheng defenders out like exploding cannonballs, knocking down several people one after another, and then fell to the ground.
Backhand!
Zhang Liao made another large-scale sweep across thousands of troops. He easily killed the enemy troops coming from the front and both sides. At the same time, he rode forward again, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Zhang Liao of Yanmen is here!"
"Anyone who stands in my way will die~~~"
A very penetrating roar sounded, immediately attracting the attention of the Wancheng defenders.
Nearly everyone above and below the city looked at Zhang Liao, who was riding alone in the city.
Behind him, Wuyangyang's cavalry came one after another, and the rumbling sound of hoofs seemed to step on the hearts of every Wancheng defender, crushing their last remaining will to fight into powder.
"Break the city!"
Zhang Liao gave the order.
The cavalry in the city launched the final charge.
The soldiers under the city and in the city gate were instantly routed, resulting in countless casualties.
Captain Jiang was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the cavalrymen under the city. The long sword in his hand fell with a clang: "It's over. It's over this time!"
Bang!
The city gate was knocked open.
The soldiers outside the city roared and rushed into the city.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Bian was so excited that he didn't know why, and his eyes became red subconsciously.
For this moment, he had been struggling to survive for half a year.
At that time!
Not only Liu Bian, but also netizens in the live broadcast room were also excited:
"Great, we finally captured Wancheng."
"It took half a year to finally have your own city, right?"
"The fallen serfs will sing, brothers, cheer up!"
"Meet up tonight and have a barbecue and beer to celebrate Ben Ye's new life!"
"This time I really stood up, completely stood up."
"The new era of the late Han Dynasty is about to begin!"
