Under the leadership of Captain Zhuge Chan, five hundred officers and soldiers lined up in a neat array, shouting to boost their morale while quickly approaching the Heavenly Army on the opposite side.
Many people looked excited and impatient.
They have already thought of the beautiful scene of standing behind people's heads to get rewards.
No one in Linyi's army thought about failure...
They even felt that these mud-legged people might not even have the courage to resist.
After all, they are just a group of refugees.
Or are they a group of refugees who have just survived the severe winter? I am afraid they have exhausted all their strength to reach the gates of Linyi City, right?
They are full of confidence that they will win.
This is especially true for Zhuge Chan, who leads the team.
In his eyes, this battle is the step God gave him to advance. If he can win it cleanly and the news of success reaches the ears of Tao Qian, the state pastor who is in charge of Donghai at this time, he might have the opportunity to take this opportunity.
The captain who has been a captain for almost ten years has taken off his hat?
Captain?
Which one is better, Tunqi Xiaowei (in charge of heavy cavalry units) or Yueqi Xiaowei (in charge of light cavalry units)?
Unfortunately, this relaxed and optimistic attitude suddenly disappeared when Zhuge Chan stepped across the suspension bridge and got closer and closer to the other side.
As early as when the government troops opened the city gates and formed their formation in front of the moat, the refugees seemed to be retreating in panic. This kind of reaction was viewed with disdain by Zhuge Chan and his men.
But when the Tian army began to line up and assume a fighting posture, Zhuge Chan discovered something was wrong.
Looking at the square formation that suddenly became neat and orderly, Zhuge Chan couldn't help but stop.
This efficiency...
Isn't it too fast?
However, his subordinates did not notice it and kept roaring forward. At this time, the two sides were within fighting distance. The Linyi City defenders were not elite. If they stopped suddenly or turned their backs and retreated, not only would they not be able to do it, but they would also most likely let the team down.
The formation fell into chaos, which gave the enemy an opportunity...
What's more, he had taken the initiative to ask for war and issued a military order.
Perhaps, he just learned something from the officers and soldiers he faced before?
Zhuge Chanqiang, who couldn't afford to embarrass others, comforted himself in his heart. At the same time, he thought that just because he was showing off, it didn't mean he could hold his own in a fight. Besides, being able to form a formation didn't necessarily mean he was an elite fighter.
Thinking that his officers and soldiers were all young and well-equipped, Zhuge Chan gained confidence again and decided to kill one round first!
This thought completely ruined himself and these five hundred people.
………
When the two sides completely entered into hand-to-hand combat, Zhuge Chan was stunned when he saw the strange smiles on the faces of the two young generals opposite.
The next moment, his men were also stunned.
Because when they slashed at the heavenly army with swords and spears, the screams they made were not the expected screams, but the sound of gold and iron...
The rags and coats are just a disguise, but underneath they are actually wearing armor!
Everyone realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
While Chengtou County Lord and others were stunned, the battle between the two armies showed signs of being one-sided from the very beginning.
Wang Zheng shouted violently and chopped off Zhuge Dan's head with a knife. At the same time, he rushed forward, drawing a perfect arc with his long knife, cutting down four or five soldiers in front at the same time. Countless screams arose.
, the battle has come to an end.
In just half an hour, the five hundred Linyi city defense troops were almost completely wiped out.
Only the remaining more than a hundred frightened officers and soldiers fled back to the city in embarrassment.
At this time, the top of the city had fallen into a dead water-like silence.
"These are not refugees! They are yellow turban bandits!"
Zhuge Dan's deputy, Du Bo, who was left behind, let out a shrill scream.
He finally found out what happened.
How can refugees be so sharp?
As a military attache, he had just seen more than the county monarch and others.
There is a huge gap in combat power between the two sides, and the bandits are fully capable of annihilating them all.
The reason why more than a hundred people were allowed to escape in the end was the commander's problem.
The formation was too narrow and the engagement point was not far enough away, so although the show of weakness was successful, it did not lure the enemy deep enough.
If the battle location is further away from Linyi City, and two wings are separated to outflank...
It makes me shudder to think about it.
After Uncle Dub finished explaining to everyone, the county king and all the officials looked at each other with despair.
Are thieves and bandits so powerful?
What they didn't know was that at this time, there were more than a thousand second-order cavalry from all directions in the city, completing the siege.
What I don't know is that even if this is the case, Wang Zheng just ordered everyone to protect themselves first and not to kill with all their strength.
However, even without using all their strength, they still killed and injured nearly 300 people. In addition to more than 100 people who fled back, there were more than 100 people who were forced to surrender.
"The yellow turban bandits came to Langya with the refugees!" The county king was dumbfounded for a moment, and then suddenly roared:
"The thieves must have an ambush. Before they complete the siege, hurry up!"
"Immediately send someone to Kaiyang to ask for help, and inform the prefect at the same time!"
"The yellow scarf thieves from Qingzhou have also come to our Xuzhou with the refugees!"
...
A moment later, Linyi's four gates were opened a crack one after another, and more than a dozen sentries were released out of the city.
But what everyone didn't know was that, except for the messengers who ran from the east gate to Kaiyang for help, the messengers from the other three directions, either to the East China Sea or to notify people in nearby counties and cities, were all intercepted by the long-awaited Heavenly Army cavalry.
They intercepted and killed them all.
Only the road where Wang Zheng allowed to receive the news was smooth and unobstructed.
Seeing the figure disappearing into the distance, Wang Zheng looked up at the sky, but his face suddenly changed. It was clear and clear just now, but now it was filled with dense dark clouds.
"Huang Tian will give heavenly wine again to strengthen our army."
Looking around, Wang Zheng smiled calmly, unsheathed his long sword, and pointed the blade straight ahead:
"Within an hour, I want Linyi to open its doors!"
"Capture this city and celebrate it for a day. Everyone will have a share of wine, meat and money."
"promise!"
Under the induction of the system, even the Tianzhu battalion cavalry from the other three locations had a clear understanding, and all parties launched a fierce attack on Linyi at the same time.
...
It seemed that this was the first time he showed his back after being promoted to the fourth level. Wu Sheng was so excited that he led a group of second-level soldiers to capture the city in the first battle.
As the Linyi gate and the suspension bridge opened again, Wang Zheng jumped up, mounted his horse, lifted it up, looked back, and shouted:
"Enter the city!"
A stone's throw away, you'll be there in a moment.
The coach took the lead, and everyone's morale was greatly boosted. Everyone roared and rushed forward, tearing a hole through the blocking officers and soldiers and pouring into the city.
The soldiers of the Heavenly Army were already familiar with the series of operations after the city was breached. They didn't even need Wang Zheng's deployment instructions. Wu Sheng had already firmly held the main city gate at this time.
As Wang Zheng's army entered the city, the whole Linyi became panicked.
The rain was pouring down, but it could not cover the billowing smoke;
The sound of dripping water cannot cover up the crowing of chickens and dogs;
There were also children crying, women screaming, and countless others making a fuss.
Ordinary people locked their doors and bravely peeked their heads in to watch.
The well-to-do gentry from prominent families, on the other hand, drove their slaves and maids away in embarrassment and immediately packed up their belongings and hid their gold and silver;
At this time, the other three city gates were also successively breached by the Heavenly Army cavalry.
Having welcomed the coach into the city, Wu Sheng could not restrain his desire. He licked his lips and begged Wang Zheng for permission. Then he led a group of people to attack Linyi's last defensive force, the city defense camp.
Looking at the departing figure of the president, Wang Zheng shook his head helplessly.
Forget it, let him wear off his desire to kill on the battlefield.
It's better than killing prisoners or women and children behind your back.
...
The camp was between the two city gates and was alarmed by the commotion in the city. When the two groups of infantry just left the camp gate, they happened to run into Wu Sheng. At this time, Wu Sheng, who was eager to kill, seemed to be unaccustomed to using a knife.
He grabbed a Dubbo sledgehammer and let go of the sweep.
Under the blessing of the fourth level, he was strong enough and tall. When he laughed wantonly, the officers and soldiers fell on their backs and howled like ghosts and wolves.
The two groups of Yuan troops were defeated in two or two strokes, leaving dozens of Tianzhu soldiers to kill and surrender. Wu Sheng rushed into the camp impatiently...
Within a cup of tea, the dust had settled among countless screams.
At this time, Wang Zhengcai arranged for everyone to do something that had never been done in Qingzhou before.
To appease the people.
He arranged for a hundred cavalry to gallop back and forth and read loudly the notices prepared by Yu Jin and Xu Fang to calm the people. They did not need to have gorgeous words, but only wanted to be easy to understand.
It seems to be quite effective.
Soon after, the city of Linyi seemed to be quiet again, except for the occasional sounds of weapons clashing, screams, and begging for surrender and mercy.
