Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274
Time flies like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, it has arrived in April of the second year of Xingping.

Xuzhou, Pengcheng State, Qi County.

The war is about to start.

As the daylight turned brightly, one could see spears erected like a forest, swords raised all over the formation, flickering with a faint cold light, faintly chilling.

On the top of the city at this time.

Junyang of Qixian County and a group of officials were watching this scene clearly from the top of the city, and the more they watched, the more they frowned.

As the saying goes, when there are ten thousand soldiers, there are no boundaries.

In fact, in reality, an army of thousands of people is arrayed, and the scene is spectacular enough.

In particular, the neatly positioned, end-to-end military appearances at their peak allow the viewers to see the orders and prohibitions at a glance, and it is inevitable to be horrified.

If it's just that, it's fine.

What chilled Yang's heart even more was that besides the number of people on the other side and the appearance of the army, he also discovered a detail.
At the time of the change of spring and summer, and at noon again, he has been observing the enemy's situation at the top of the city for about half an hour, right?

Doesn't this mean that these yellow scarf soldiers under the city have been forming a square for so long, but they still don't hear complaints or see chaos?

This quiet, silent army made the sheep's face twitch.

This is a real strong army!
But why, such a powerful army would appear under the command of a yellow turban bandit?

The sheep couldn't believe it, but had to accept this fact.

It even made him vaguely believe the words of the recruiter under the city just now.

If it is such a strong army, with 2000 people, it is probably not a lie to break through the city within three days.

But if so.
Naliu County and Guangqi didn't survive for a few days, but now how long can they last in the face of such an arrival of soldiers?
Staring at the highest flag in the formation, on which a big "Xu" character was fluttering in the wind, Yang's heart was full of despair.

Before the battle, he had no idea of ​​"holding" at all. He only thought about whether he could defend until the reinforcements arrived.

hurry up.
Turning his head to look north, the sheep, who had never believed in ghosts and gods before, suddenly prayed.

At the same time that the county monarch looked at the heavenly army under the city.

On the other side, under the guard of the generals, a young man stared at the county town in front, his eyes burning.

It was Xu Fang who was left by Wang Zheng to guard the rear in Pengcheng.

When Zhengyang rose to the highest point of the sky, Xu Fang looked up and shook his head secretly.

It's almost time.

The expected scene has not been staged at this time, so there is no need to wait!
Disappointed, Xu Fang snorted coldly: "I heard that the ruler of this city and county is from the Taishan Yang family. I thought he was a son of a famous family. I should know that those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish."

"Hey, who would have expected such ignorance!"

"Major, the thief is stubborn, just what the brothers want." The young man on the side grinned and said, "You should exchange his head for merit!"

"That's the case." Xu Fang looked sideways and smiled, "Ruan Ji, would you like to be a pioneer?"

The lieutenant general in front of him was the runner-up who lost to Gu Jian in the first martial arts exercise of the Sky Army that day.

"Stick what you want!"

Ruan Ji agreed abruptly, with excitement on his face.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The drum beats, faster and louder each time.

Hearing the sound, the Heavenly Army moved, and saw countless phalanxes stepping forward slowly at the same time. Amidst the sound of orderly footsteps, a murderous aura instantly permeated the entire battlefield.

The black torrent kept approaching the city, and it didn't stop until the soldiers dressed in cloaks on the city were clearly visible.

This is within range of the defenders.

The drums stopped suddenly, and the audience was silent. Xu Fang put on his armor all over his body, rode his horse forward, his face was as calm as water, circled the battle line, met the eyes of all the soldiers, smiled slightly, and shouted loudly:

"Three days ago, our army attacked Liu County, and the defenders were nearly a thousand, and they were defeated in one day!"

"One day ago, our army attacked Guangqi, and the walls were high and the city was strong. It also depends on three drums!"

"Today" Xu Fang raised his whip and pointed at Qi County: "Our army has captured seven of the eight counties in Pengcheng, leaving this lonely city alone!"

"A mere Qi county is not as high as the city of Guangqi, nor as many soldiers as Liuxian. It is already a lonely city, but it is still trying to resist. This move." Xu Fang sneered again and again: "It's too stupid!"

Looking at the entire army, Xu Fang raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, if we can't win this city in a flash, won't it damage our heavenly army's long-term victorious momentum and unrivaled front?"

Hearing this, Xu Fang's relatives first raised their swords to respond: "We must fight and break!"

The next moment, all the soldiers were also full of enthusiasm, and thousands of people shouted: "We must fight and break!"

At the same time, Ruan Ji galloped out from the flanks with a hundred brave soldiers who were about to attack the city, and rolled up a cloud of mud and dust all over the sky. He also shouted hoarsely:

"It must be broken in one battle!"

With a rattling sound, the catapult took the lead and slowly moved forward to the front of the formation.

"Smash!" Xu Fang waved his hand: "Smash a path for me!"

"Here!"

With an order, hundreds of soldiers exerted their strength together, and the roaring sounded one after another, and countless stones drew arcs one after another in the space, smashing fiercely at Qi County.

When facing the first two cities, Xu Fang didn't bring any equipment, just galloped thousands of miles in order to ask for speed, but from the very beginning, he asked Zhang Zhao to arrange for civilian husbands and siege equipment to be transported directly to Qi County. .

In the original plan, Xu Fang was nothing more than being prepared, because in his original plan, when he arrived in Qi County, it should be a situation where he won without a fight.

At this time, it came in handy.

A weapon as powerful as Pengcheng's is really too powerful in the face of ordinary county towns, but within a short while, Qi County wailed overwhelmed again and again, and cracks visible to the naked eye began to appear on the four walls.

After getting a cup of tea, with a loud "boom", like a spring thunder waking up, amidst the disastrous faces of Yang and county officials, a big gap appeared in the east wall.

At the same time, everyone in the Tianqian Heavenly Army cheered and roared excitedly, their voices were deafening, and they soared into the sky.

"kill!"

As Xu Fang stopped drinking again, the war drum sounded again, and the strange and regular sound of the drum, one after another, hit the hearts of both the enemy and our army.

It's just that the more one side listens, the more excited they become, while the other side, the more they listen, the more despairing they become.

The soldiers in the formation raised flags and sounded drums.

With the sound of a drum, Pioneer stepped forward.

Two tong drums, pull the horse and raise the rein;
At the end of the three drums, Ruan Ji shouted and led people to charge forward, and the heavenly army rushed towards the city wall like the tide of the heavenly army.

But after a while, the killing sound suddenly broke out.

"Quick, stop them from entering the city!"

"Your Majesty, I can't stop it! There are too many bandits!"

"County lieutenant, the bandit army has come in!"

"Don't retreat, rush up to me and stop them!"

"Kill!"

On the battlefield full of murderous intent, the two armies were fighting each other. After rushing through the arrow rain area shot by the defenders, they arrived in front of the city gate. Under the city wall, the vanguards of the two armies collided with each other with a bang.

Spear against spear, sword against saber.The men and horses fought against each other, bloody spears entered the body, and Bai Liangliang's saber slashed into the wind.Every time the gun stabs blood, every time the knife cuts on the flesh, the sound of puffing, accompanied by the screams of the victim, is unbearable to hear and unbearable to see.

In all fairness, if you only look at the bravery of fighting, Xu Fang looks on coldly, but he has to admit that the performance of Qi County soldiers is not bad, and their determination to defend their homeland is not inferior to the fanaticism of the Celestial Army.

It's just that momentum can sometimes determine the outcome, and that's only because it offsets the other gaps between the two armies to a certain extent.

But the gap between today's Tianjun and Qixian soldiers is too great.

Regardless of the number of people, fighting spirit, or the combat effectiveness of the army itself!
Xu Fang of the Chinese Army Lin Zhen rode on a horse and had a panoramic view of the changes in the situation on the field. He couldn't help but sneered, knowing that the overall situation was settled.

Not long after, Ruan Ji's adjutant returned to the battle with blood on his face and said, "Major, all the defenders of the city gate have been killed!"

"Now that the defenders have retreated to the barracks in the city, and the county government is guarding the stronghold, is it still the same as before?"

Since the Heavenly Army entered Langya, they have basically been accepting surrenders, and when Xu Fang led the army to attack the city this time, the first two counties also followed the usual practice.

It's just that Qi County is a little special.

Because it is located at the junction of the three states, and it is too close to Taishan County in Yanzhou!
Calling people to surrender under the walls was actually the only chance Xu Fang gave, and it was also the last chance.

Xu Fang asked himself recently, what the Heavenly Army did in Pengcheng was quite popular. Under such circumstances, the county lord of an isolated city still wanted to resist, and then contacted the other party who was a descendant of the Taishan Yang family, which made Xu Fang secretly sigh .

He is not Wu Sheng, and he is not bloodthirsty, but his reason has reminded him that such a sensitive city should not leave any hidden dangers.
Even, do something to deter the surroundings!
"We have already recruited to surrender." The determination was made, and Xu Fang's expression suddenly turned cold: "Since they have rejected my kindness, there will be no second chance!"

"Communicate to the whole army, this battle will not accept surrender!"

"Here!"

In less than half a day, the heavenly army was already in full swing, driving straight in, and all of them poured into the city.

It's just that at this time, Qi County's army is still resisting.

"Is this the only place left?" Looking from the broken barracks to the county government office on the other side, Xu Fang raised his head to look at the sky, it was already evening and setting sun, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "It's not too early."

With a wave of his hand, he rushed towards the county government with his soldiers.

On the other side, the county magistrate Yang of Qi County at this time had a ferocious face and red eyes, and he could not see the so-called demeanor of a celebrity or aristocratic demeanor in him.

At this time, there were about a hundred people gathered in the county government office, most of them were the elites he brought from Mount Tai.

These people don't eat Hanlu, nor are they locals. It can be said that they can persist until now because of their personal loyalty to Yang.

Before the city was broken, he was anxious, but now that the enemy broke through the city and rushed in, Yang calmed down instead.

If you can't hold it, you can't hold it, right?

The big deal is to go back to Mount Tai!

The moment the barracks was destroyed, Yang's heart was shocked, knowing that there were not many bandits besieging the county government at this time, but if he stayed and waited for other people to gather and completely surround him, it would be a real desperate situation.

Thinking of this, the sheep had a ferocious face, moved out with a long knife in his hand, and finally let out a roar, leading people to break out. Under the protection of a dozen cavalry, he finally rushed out of the encirclement, chose a city gate with few people and roared away.

It's just that he didn't know that Xu Fang's biggest characteristic was his careful thinking. Since he was going to refuse to surrender, it was absolutely impossible to allow any fish that slipped through the net.

If it looks like a weak line of defense, it is a plan to surround three and miss one.

Just as Ruan Ji was about to lead people to chase after him, he saw several screams coming from the direction where the other party was fleeing.

After a while, dozens of soldiers from the Tianzhu Battalion that Xu Fang specially left behind at the city gate came out on foot. Many of them were leading a few horses with smiles on their faces, and one of them was still wobbly and hunchbacked. An unidentified corpse.

Judging by his clothes, he is the county monarch sheep who wants to abandon the city and flee.

"Cleaned all sides."

"Take control of the warehouse, granary and equipment warehouse."

"Major, the county government has been occupied, and the city is searching for the remaining criminals."

Xu Fang looked calm, nodded and said: "Brothers fight the enemy and strive to be the first, show off our army's prestige, great kindness."

"However, General Tiangong has a military order for a long time. If a city is won, the people will become our elders. Although we don't accept the surrender this time, we must not disturb the people."

"Here!"

Entering the county government office and counting the results of the battle, Xu Fangfang showed satisfaction.

Even with the astonishing results of going down to the city in half a day, the damage of the Tianjun this time is not too big.

Now that Qi County has fallen, Pengcheng Kingdom has completely entered the control of the Heavenly Army and belongs to the Wangzheng.

After thinking for a while, thinking about the location of this place, Xu Fang gave up his plan to return to Pengcheng even though Wang Zheng didn't order him. Instead, he summoned sentry cavalry and asked him to go to Kaiyang to report victory as a messenger.

"Send the news that the three counties of Pengcheng have been fixed to General Tiangong as soon as possible!"

"And ask for instructions on what to do next!"

"promise!"

In the wheat field in April, there is a lot of competition for sunshine.

As far as the eye can see, there are large patches of green, shining with a cold light like three-dimensional emeralds.They stick to the sun and let the heat pass from the pointed awns through the hollow stalks to the roots.

In order to survive, the grass is like this, how can people be embarrassed?

Wang Zheng, who rode his horse through villages and villages, couldn't help feeling deeply emotional while watching this scene.

After returning from Langya, Wang Zheng and his army ushered in a rare period of peace.

Under the combination of Mi Heng and Yu Jin, the efficiency is very fast. Looking along the way, I can occasionally see some familiar faces of Tianfu soldiers who used to be, and now they have become civil officials, shuttling among the farmers.

After several hours of continuous investigation, a group of people came to a riverside from noisy to quiet.

At this time, there were a few women washing clothes with bare legs in the river. They were only busy, or joking and laughing among their companions, as if they didn't notice that there was a group of strangers nearby.

Since the other party didn't notice, Wang Zheng and the others didn't want to disturb the people, so they rode past in a flash, and stopped to rest on the other side of the river.

Looking around, I saw that the villagers were all peaceful and contented, and You Heng also felt a great sense of accomplishment: "This situation is really in harmony with nature and people, quite harmonious."

"After the war, in less than three months, there was a picture of the people living in peace." Wang Zheng looked at You Heng with admiration: "This is the master's work."

"Emperor Gao once said that there is a Fan Zeng that cannot be used, and that's why I captured him." You Heng said with a smile: "It can be seen that if a minister wants to establish a career, he must choose a master. The situation in Kaiyang today is all due to the master. and also."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng looked at Mi Heng with a strange look.

You are such a weirdo. The celebrities of the same generation all compare themselves to Zhang Liang, but you call yourself Fan Zeng?

"But my lord." Seeing that Mi Heng suddenly changed the subject at this moment, he said, "We must be prepared for danger when we live in peace."

"Thinking is prepared, and preparation is safe."

How are you?

Where did Ann come from?

Wang Zheng glanced at Mi Heng helplessly, but couldn't explain it.

Now it seems that the situation in my family has improved, and there is no enemy on all sides as before, but how would Mi Heng know.

His neighbor has changed from a good old man Tao Qian (impression of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms) to Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, which is really a pity.

The point is. This buddy still has two sworn brothers who were tied up at the beginning, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the enemy of thousands!
In the eyes of Wang Zheng, these three brothers are more difficult to deal with than Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Wen, Chou, Tao Qian and the four parties combined!
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng felt a toothache.

Even though the past two months have been calm and there is no fluctuation on Pan Zhang's side, Wang Zheng still dare not relax for a day. Hearing Mi Heng's words, although he disagrees in his heart, he still asks: "What is your opinion?"

"My lord has ordered Xu Fang to capture the remaining three counties of Pengcheng." Mi Heng said with a smile, "Since that's the case, why don't you open the passage to the west by the way?"

Seomyeon
Looking at the horizon, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, "Sir, are you talking about Yanzhou?"

"To be precise." Mi Heng nodded in agreement, and added:
"It's Taishan County!"
