Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 331 Gathering Shadows
When Wang Zheng and Zhang Fei fought fiercely, other places in Xuzhou also experienced changes.

To the north of Xiapi.

Donghai County, Xiangben City.

Just received the good news that my army defeated Yuan Jun, and then quickly recovered the fallen cities. At this time, the city was full of joy.The county magistrate Dong Zhe who was in charge of guarding the area was also very excited, and now he was throwing a big banquet in the county government office, both civil and military personnel were present.

Dong Zhe also specially selected more than a dozen beautiful and famous city prostitutes who knew how to sing and dance to accompany the wine. He saw Yingying and Yanyan in the center, and there was a lot of noise in the four directions, such as drinking orders, punching, persuading, drinking, and so on.

Countless human voices mixed together and resounded through the night sky. After drinking for three rounds, drinking for three rounds, and drinking until almost three o'clock, they still didn't see each other.

In the hall at this time.

Dong Zhe toasted the generals crookedly, and laughed drunkenly: "No wonder Zhang Sima said that Jiangdong is a rat all day long. This Yuan Shu's army horse is really vulnerable to a single blow."

All the generals made fun of it, shouting in unison:

"Such mobs dare to come to Xuzhou to stroke the tiger's beard in Xuzhou. They don't know how to live or die!"

"Extremely extreme, we will definitely suggest to Zhou Mu in the future that we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it and go straight to Yangzhou!"

"This remark suits me very much!" Dong Zhe pointed at the person who resisted the voice, and said with a smile: "At that time, we will persuade the lord together, and we are determined to raise troops, we must."

As he was talking, Dong Zhe dropped his wine glass, and his whole body tilted a few times. If the maid beside him hadn't helped him in time, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"The captain is drunk."

When everyone saw him snoring loudly, they couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly called the soldiers to help him go to the backyard to rest.

The host was drunk, everyone was in high spirits, and the wine was in full swing, but the banquet continued with singing and dancing.

At this time, the sky is like a cover, with a crescent moon and a few cold stars.

It was the dead of night.

Conscious that Yuan's army has been defeated like a mountain and has no power to fight back, not only civil and military generals, but also ordinary soldiers can't help but feel a little lax.

Those in charge of the night watch on the top of the city are no exception.

In the night, almost no one noticed that there was a faint light of fire flickering in the darkness of the farthest mountain forest. If you looked at it, you could feel that something was flowing towards Qulu City like a river. Come on, no mess.

And the faint fire is the spray that symbolizes danger and killing.

In a short time, it has come twenty miles away.

Then stopped.

Not long after, like a probe, a torrent of black came out from a large black area. Looking at it, there were more than 500 cavalry galloping out. The knights were all in black armor. He felt out ten miles in one breath and came to the city of Xiangben.

"Is this Xiangben City?"

Yu Jin reined in his horse and looked back, looking heroic, looking around and asking: "How far is this city from Xiapi?"

"General, it's about 200 miles away." A sentry came out and replied.

Then it would only take three or four days at most to join the general.

Yu Jin nodded, looked at the front of his eyes thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "In that case, let the brothers in all departments get ready."

Since receiving the general order, Yu Jin assembled his team and set off from Kaiyang quickly. He traveled in a hurry for several days, and as soon as he entered the East China Sea, a scout rushed over on horseback, bringing even more bad news.

Not long ago, Yuan's army was defeated outside Xiapi City. Not to mention the commander was killed, half of them were killed or injured, and the rest fled.

This made Yu Jin, who was full of fighting spirit, startled, and immediately fell into the long exam.

According to Wang Zheng's order, Yujin was originally ordered to send troops to the southwest to conquer the remaining cities of Xiangben, Nanling, and Chengxian County in Donghai County, and to completely open up the road between Langya County and Pengcheng Kingdom. Originally, he was not allowed to join the army on the way to attack Liu Beijun. The plan in the siege.

But this moment also, that moment also.

If Yuan Jun was still in a stalemate with Liu Bei's army before, even if it was a small defeat, and Yuan Jun was not hurt, no matter whether it was Wang Zheng or Yu Jin, they would feel that the main force of the Heavenly Army plus Xu Fang's Pengcheng soldiers and horses would join Yuan Jun to fight Liu Bei. , the chances of winning are not small.

But now that Yuan Jun is defeated, it is equal to Liu Beijun and Tianjun driving horses, one-on-one.

From Yu Jin's point of view, his family should also go to Xiapi along the way to give support and increase the general's bargaining chips and chances of winning.

But the problem is
The general order has not arrived.

Yu Jin knew that according to Wang Zheng's disposition and the importance he attached to Liu Bei, under the changing situation, the remaining cities in Donghai County were far less important than Liu Bei's defeat in Xiapi. This general order would definitely be issued, but this Once it takes time, it may delay the fighter!
Then
Do you set off after receiving the general order?
Or should I make a decisive decision now?
The latter is undoubtedly the more correct choice, but it has the responsibility of not obeying the general's order. Such self-assessment is more likely to displease Wang Zheng and destroy his own impression in his heart.

If it was Wu Sheng and Xu Fang, maybe they wouldn't have such concerns?
In the icy cold wind, Yu Kun unconsciously held the long sword by his waist and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

After the selection of Xiangben, Nanling and Chengxian were ignored for the time being.

Immediately the army went south and marched towards Xiapi!

Go join the general's main force!

Afterwards, it was day and night, with people holding bells and horses picking bells. Everyone walked westward in the dark, wading across rivers and streams silently, and going around in advance whenever there were mountains.There were also 300 people who went ahead to clean up the earth, rocks and trees on the road, and marked the ditches. Therefore, even if they deliberately concealed their tracks, the marching speed of the Kaiyang Army was very fast.

Tonight, finally arrived at Xiangben City.

Leaning on his horse and looking far away, he saw the wilderness not far away and the majestic city walls. Yu Jin decisively ordered: "The army rests for an hour, bury the sound and advance ten miles. After two hours, attack the city!"

He drew out his long sword and shouted with glaring eyes: "At sunrise, I was about to see the top of the city fall and the gate of the city open wide!"

"Tell the whole army that tomorrow's lunch must be eaten in a sitting position in the city!"

"Here!"

If it is said that Shenbing Tianxiang really exists, it is the appearance of Yu Jin appearing under the city of Xiangben.

Everyone in Xiangben City, including the county lord Dong Zhe, actually considered the reason why the Yellow Turban bandits took the opportunity to attack.

After all, after the enemy took down Kaiyang and Pengcheng, the next target was naturally the East China Sea. The previous standstill was just waiting for an opportunity.

But no one thought it would be at this moment.

At the moment when Liu Beijun had just won a complete victory and completely defeated Yuan Shujun.

Not to mention that no one thought that the other party would attack Xiangben first. If they wanted to fight the East China Sea, they could have taken Tancheng directly from Kaiyang.

At this time, no one knew, let alone thought, that Tancheng had fallen into the hands of Wang Zheng.

When Dong Zhe was awakened by his subordinates, he was still drunk, and he didn't even hear what they said clearly, but when he was dragged up to the top of the city, there were countless cavalry running back and forth holding torches under the top of the city. , showing off his riding skills.

Such a majestic momentum was like a basin of cold water waking him up in an instant.

"This..." He was dumbfounded, first rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked at it for a long time, then asked the left and right with a trembling voice: "Whose family is this?"

"Who else can there be, county lord." The chief secretary on the side sighed, "Of course it's those yellow scarf bandits entrenched in Kaiyang!"

He said, pointing to the center of the city: "Look, the word "gold" on that big flag, the thief must be Jin Yu, the leader of the thief in Kaiyang!"

"Jin Yu!"

Dong Zhe almost vomited blood. Ever since Wen Chou, a famous general in Hebei, was defeated in Kaiyang, his name had already been heard throughout the territory of Xuzhou. Such a general was transferred to attack them in Xiangben?
How can this be good?
Just as he was thinking like this, he saw that the camps under the city changed, separated from the left and right, and a general galloped out. Now lead [-] people to return to Xiangben!"

"Liu Bei, the thief's ear, stole Xuzhou without the edict of the emperor, and lived as a state shepherd. You all eat Han's salary and become Han officials. How can you serve under the command of this rebellious official and thief?"

"At this time, it is time to follow the sky and follow the righteousness, it is not too late!"

While speaking, with a wave of Yu Jin's hand, the thousand riders stopped, and the three armies raised their flags together. Under the firelight, it became more and more red like blood, as if it would burn the night.

Staring at the top of the city, with a clang, Yu Jin drew his sword out of its sheath: "If you continue to be stubborn, you will be punished by heaven!"

At the same time, the three armies raised their guns together and shouted loudly:
"God damn it!"

"God damn it!"

"God damn it!"

When everything was silent, countless people shouted in unison in the dark night. When the mountains and valleys echoed, the sound stopped and the clouds moved, mixed with war drums to shake the sky, horns shook the ground, the city walls trembled, and the weak trembled and fell.

Thirty to thirty thousand people?
Dong Zhe couldn't believe the number. He opened his eyes and looked carefully, but he saw the torch like a dragon, reflecting the black army and horses. He really couldn't see how many people there were, let alone count them.

It took a while for Dong Zhe to wake up. At this moment, it doesn't matter how many troops the enemy has.

His Dong family has been famous for many generations. If other princes, even Cao Cao, if it is clear that they cannot be defeated, Dong Zhe may consider surrendering in order to save the life of the family.

But the yellow turban bandits are absolutely impossible!
If you can't surrender, then there is only one way!
Thinking of this, Dong Zhe rushed down to the top of the city, hastily gathered the army and horses in the city, and began to arrange urgently.

Xiangben is a small city, and it is impossible to defend it firmly. He cannot fight, cannot surrender, and he does not want to die, so he has no choice but to walk.

The main force of the thieves was at the east gate. Dong Zhe ran straight to the west gate. Not far from the west gate, he saw a sudden light in front of him.

Yu Jin thought about it, since the biggest strategy of the Heavenly Army is to defeat Liu Bei, then naturally no reinforcements can be given to Liu Bei's army in Xiapi.
The original intention of enclosing three squares is to leave a way out, to prevent the enemy generals from making up their minds to fight to the death, and to vacillate between fleeing and fighting to the death. At the same time, it also weakens the fighting spirit of the enemy soldiers.

But today, Yu Jin intentionally left a gap in the west gate. If anyone escapes, he will fall into this plan to subdue the army.

Dong Zhe shot a false shot, left the rear army, and turned to the south.Not far away, I just saw a forest, but my eyes lit up again, and I don't know how many ambushes turned out, and the first person was Wu Niu.

This time, he no longer gave him a chance.

"shoot!"

In the midst of shouting loudly, there were countless swishing sounds in the darkness, and thousands of arrows were shot, covering the sky and covering the ground. Dong Zhe fell off his horse in response, and has become a hedgehog.

To the west of Xiapi, take Lucheng.

Outside the moat, thieves and bandits are everywhere, military flags cover the field, and smoke and dust fill the air.

On the opposite side of the city, the semaphore of the nest building fluttered, and the flying bridges were controlled by the heavenly army, pushed to the river, unfolded and folded, and built on the river.Behind them, more than a dozen crash cars were ready to go, and behind them, countless infantry lined up, with dazzling swords and guns, and a team of dozens of rangers patrolled the surrounding area, bows and arrows were endless, and the sound of drums and drums resounded through the sky.

On the top of the city, the guard also transferred a thousand-man team to the front, with shields in front and bows and arrows in the back.Following the order of the officer, densely packed arrows came all over the sky, and returned the blow.

"Damn it, are these yellow scarf thieves in a hurry to reincarnate!" The guard glanced at the city and scolded, "They came to attack the city without even building the camp!"

"The thief is in a hurry to go to Xiapi!" The county lord at the side also noticed this situation, and said with a gloomy expression: "There must be danger in Xiapi, we must not let this group of Pengcheng Yellow Turbans go there!"

"The thieves are in a hurry, and their foothold is not secure!" The guard spat viciously: "We have to set up the drawbridge, let the cavalry charge for a while, and mess up the thieves' position!"

"Otherwise." He said, looking at the moat, more and more pontoon bridges have been repaired, and a large number of heavenly troops are pushing the ladders and other things, swarming down the city.

"If this goes on, I can't keep it!"

"This..." The county lieutenant had proposed this suggestion when the thief first arrived at the city, but the county magistrate sought stability and did not adopt it. At this time, he glanced at the city, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, just follow." County Weizhi."

But at this moment, there was a continuous booming sound in a short period of time, which attracted the attention of the entire battlefield.

Is that west?

Immediately, a messenger ran over in panic and shouted, "Your Majesty, the west wall of the city is about to fail!"

"what?"

The county lord and the county lieutenant were very anxious when they heard the words, and hurriedly organized a group of people to walk west of the city. As soon as they reached the top of the city, they gasped at the sight in front of them.

I don't know how many people there are!

There are more than a dozen catapults, which are continuously attacking the west wall of the city.

Seeing that the west city wall is now full of potholes and numerous cracks, the county lord and the county lieutenant looked at each other, seeing panic in each other's eyes, and guessed what they were thinking.

Once the wall is broken.
Then I couldn't keep it anymore!
Another bang.

After the collapse, there was a brief silence.

The next moment, cheers sounded like a tide: "The city is broken! The city is broken!"

"Withdraw!" The county lord wiped the sweat and blood from his forehead, and ordered decisively: "Break out of the siege, and take the soldiers and horses to Xiapi!"

the other side.

Seeing the swords and guns raised in front of him, flesh and blood flying everywhere, Xu Fangfang on the nest tower sank like water, and at the same time he waved his hands violently: "Raise the flag, pass the order!"

"The three armies are firmly encircled, and beware of the enemy's breakthrough!"

Countless noises came from my ears, which were screams, roars, horseshoes, and the collision of weapons and armor.

Xu Fang, on the contrary, became more and more calm.

He looked around and said word for word: "This battle must be wiped out."

"Don't let Liu Jun let go!"
