Looking at the figure going away, Wang Zheng patted the long knife hanging on his right waist with his left hand, turned his head and looked around, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Everyone will obey the order!"
"The general is here!" Hearing this, Xu Fang and others immediately straightened their bodies and showed excitement on their faces.
"In an hour, attack Zhao County." Wang Zheng pointed his halberd forward and said solemnly: "There must be no delay."
"promise."
finally come!
Wang Zheng, who had made countless deductions in his mind for the upcoming scene, now had a face full of calmness and confidence, and he calmly handed down the orders one after another in the most straightforward words:
"Xu Fang and Wu Niu, the two of you will lead 1,500 Tiangang troops and join forces with Wu Sheng inside and outside. They will be responsible for attacking the four city gates, occupying them first, and then consolidating them."
"Kaohsiung, you lead the Thousand Heavenly Auxiliary Army to follow. Don't enter the city, just circle around. Be sure to seal off the entire Zhao County. Don't let anyone, not even a bird, leave your sight."
"Wu Yuan Lu De, you two will lead the remaining 2,000 Celestial Auxiliary Army and lead the Tiangang Army to capture the west city gate. Immediately follow up and attack the county barracks, weapons warehouse and granary at the same time."
"If the military camp is not well-prepared, then capture it directly; if you are prepared, block the gate to prevent the officers and soldiers from coming out."
"Arms storehouse, immediately put all documents and books in a centralized place for safekeeping. No weapon or armor is allowed to be taken away before I set foot here."
"The granary is treated like an arsenal. Not a single grain of rice can leave the warehouse!"
"The remaining 500 Tiangang troops are behind me to adapt to changes!"
"promise!"
In order to ensure that his order would not go wrong, Wang Zheng asked each of the five people to repeat their responsibilities. Wang Zheng confirmed that it was correct, and sorted out his thoughts several times. After confirming that everything was in order, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, once all the city gates enter the mouth of our army..." He raised his head and raised his eyebrows, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone in Zhao County will become a turtle in a urn, what will happen?"
Everyone laughed, and Xu Fang reacted the fastest and joked: "Whether it's life or death, it's all up to us."
"Not bad." Wang Zheng smiled slightly, turned his wrist, and repeated his palms. He said calmly:
"This is called life and death."
Just a few words showed the invincibility of the three armies.
The sound is not loud and can only be heard by people close by.
But after chanting softly, Wang Zheng's momentum continued to rise, and under the influence of 25 points of charm's empathy, it spread to the entire audience silently.
Everyone looked at the general's leisurely figure at this moment, and suddenly found that all the tension and uneasiness in their hearts had dissipated.
Immediately, blood boiled, pride surged, and morale greatly increased.
"It must be as the general said!"
All the generals looked excited, and their voices trembled with excitement.
...
The army had just drawn up and approached a little distance, and the city gate guards immediately noticed it, and their expressions suddenly changed.
The sudden appearance of more than 5,000 people was obviously too overwhelming.
One of the veterans jumped up immediately and was about to close the city gate when he saw the new guard officer Wu Sheng walking over with a smile on his face and hurriedly greeted him.
Wu Sheng also saw a large number of people in the distance, and his smile became brighter.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a strange look on the veteran's face. He still pretended not to know, tilted his head and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Sir, look outside the city. There are a lot of thieves there. It looks like there are so many people!"
Seeing Wu Sheng, the nervous veteran seemed to have a backbone, and quickly turned to point at the heavenly army and shouted loudly.
Just when he was about to ask Wu Sheng how to deal with it, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.
Until he fell to the ground, the veteran's eyes were full of confusion.
It seemed that he didn't know why this commander, who had just arrived and had never offended him, suddenly attacked and killed him.
"Do it!"
Wu Sheng, however, had already pounced on the next soldier without hesitation, his blood-stained face full of fanaticism.
This feeling is so wonderful!
The other Heavenly Execution soldiers also drew their swords one after another, shouted and followed Wu Sheng to attack.
A sudden shock occurred, and while the remaining gatekeepers still had stunned expressions on their faces, they were already enveloped by the light of swords and shadows.
Inadvertently or not, the second-tier troops, which already had the numerical advantage, crushed the officers and soldiers in an instant.
When a young soldier at the farthest point came back to his senses, he found that all the familiar faces on his side of the field had fallen into a pool of blood.
"I surrender..."
Seeing Wu Sheng rushing towards him like a whirlwind, the young soldier was frightened by the murderous look on his face. His mind went blank. He instinctively dropped his weapon, raised his hands, and wanted to beg for mercy, but he was half-finished.
But he saw that Wu Sheng's clean knife had cut through his neck.
After a cold touch, the boy's eyesight went dark.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Wu Sheng smiled ferociously at the corpse and said, "I think I wanted to tell the truth."
At first glance, the city gate has changed hands.
"Leave ten men, one to report to the general, and the other nine to stay here to welcome our army into the city."
After giving a few instructions, Wu Sheng looked greedily at the blood in front of him, smacked his mouth a few times, and seemed to still have something to say. He looked at the other city gate, waved his hand, and rushed over impatiently.
Another crushing battle begins.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Wang Zheng was informed of the news that the two city gates had been successfully secured, and he immediately felt reassured.
Sieges are the most difficult to form a surprise attack.
Generally according to the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there must be about 20 people patrolling the city.
They climbed high and looked far into the distance. From a commanding position, their vision was far enough to cover several miles around the county town. It was not easy for a large group of people to hide their whereabouts.
Wang Zheng made a mistake. If he followed his original plan and arrived with Wu Sheng, his troops would probably be seen by the city guards as soon as they approached the county seat, and they would immediately ring the bell to warn them.
Considering the distance of several miles, no matter how fast the cavalry is, it will be difficult to catch up with the city gate to close, let alone Wang Zheng's full infantry army.
The estimated itinerary was wrong, and I arrived late. Instead, I caught up with Wu Sheng after the city fell.
Wu Sheng's entry into the city as an internal response was originally the most important part of Wang Zheng's plan, but he ignored the importance of the city head at the time. Wu Sheng realized it on his own and paid attention to this when he entered the city.
I took the opportunity to participate in the defense of the city gate first.
But things developed better than expected. Wu Sheng even directly obtained the highest command of the county defense, and the city walls were naturally replaced by soldiers from the Tianzhu Battalion.
With the three defense points lost, it was only a matter of time before Zhao County was captured.
With victory in sight, Wang Zheng was full of enthusiasm and burst into laughter.
"Speed up!"
With an order, two thousand Tiangang troops rushed forward.
Although they are all infantry, as the first-level Yellow Turban militia, they are all strong and strong people. Now that their physical fitness has been further strengthened by the system, they can move very quickly.
In just a short time, they arrived at the west gate of Zhao County and immediately attacked.
The heavenly army, numbering in the thousands, entered the city, and the movement could no longer be concealed.
First, the people of Zhao County near the city gate and preparing to enter the place had similar first reactions after discovering it.
Either exclaim or scream, or turn around and run away.
The panicked voice became a fuse, quickly igniting riots throughout the county.
"The thieves are coming!"
"It's something serious. Let's run away quickly."
"Where do you get so many thieves?"
There were also people who realized something was wrong, turned around and rushed towards the county government office, wanting to report the matter to the government.
"Ignore it," Wang Zheng waved his hand to stop his men from trying to catch up and intercept them, and just let everyone act according to plan.
Looking at the roaring crowd in front of him, he smiled.
