The Three Kingdoms have signed for 30 years, and I am in charge of the universe

Chapter 36 The Insane Zhang Lu

"Gongda, do you think the policy of honoring filial piety is feasible?"

Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

After listening to Guo Jia's suggestions, Liu Hong nodded, instead of rushing to make a decision, he turned to ask Xun You's opinion.

As a wise monarch, you can't listen to one side and believe in another. You should speak out widely and brainstorm ideas.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think the policy of filial piety is feasible."

Xun You replied with a smile.

"What do Yongnian think?"

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Song again and asked with a smile.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I thought that while surrounding the city on all sides, in order to prevent Zhang Lu from fighting a war of attrition with our army, he could also order the soldiers to dig the ground every day to open up the secret passage leading to the city."

Zhang Song thought for a while, and answered.

"Since the three military advisors agree, let's do this."

Seeing that Guo Jia and the other three agreed, Liu Hong smiled.

"Zhang Ren obeys the order!"

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"The end is here!"

Zhang Ren came out and responded.

"I order you to lead an army of [-] to attack the west gate of Nanzheng County!"

Liu Hong threw out a command arrow and said in a deep voice.

"The end will follow the order!"

Zhang Ren picked up the arrow and said in a deep voice.

"Huang Zhong obeys orders!"

Liu Hong picked up a command arrow and said in a deep voice.

"The end is here!"

Huang Zhong stepped forward to listen to the order.

"I order you to lead an army of [-] to attack the east gate of Nanzheng County!"

Liu Hong threw out the command arrow and said in a deep voice.

"The end will follow the order!"

Huang Zhong picked up the command arrow and said in a deep voice.

"Zhao Yun obeys!"

Liu Hong picked up a command arrow again and said in a deep voice.

"The end is here!"

Zhao Yun stepped forward to listen to the order.

"I order you to lead an army of [-] people and attack the south gate of Nanzheng County!"

Liu Hong threw out the command arrow and said in a deep voice.

"The end will follow the order!"

Zhao Yun stepped forward to pick up the arrow and said in a deep voice.

"Yuwen Chengdu listens to the order!"

Liu Hong held the command arrow and said.

"The end is here!"

Yu Wencheng stepped forward to listen to the order.

"I order you to lead an army of [-] to attack the north gate of Nanzheng County."

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"The end will follow the order!"

Yuwen Chengdu responded.

"Strictly obey orders!"

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"The end is here!"

Yan Yan went out to listen to the order.

"I order you to lead an army of [-] people. As the supervising force, anyone who escapes from the battle, refuses to retreat after hearing the drums, or refuses to retreat even if he pays tribute, will be beheaded in public display."

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"The end will follow the order!"

Yan Yan accepted the order.

"I'll lead [-] cavalry, and I'll raid the formation for you, ready to respond at any time."

Liu Honglang said.

After the deployment of troops and generals was completed, Liu Hong stood up from his position as commander.

"The final general is willing to die for His Majesty!"

The few people who were ordered to kneel down on one knee, said in a deep voice.

"With the help of generals, the great Han Dynasty will surely prosper!"

Liu Hong said solemnly.

The next morning.

Liu Hong beat the drum himself and issued the order to attack.

The emperor personally beat the drums to cheer, and gave the order to attack. All the soldiers of the Han army yelled "Aoao" and killed Nanzheng County.

The four main generals, holding cowhide bucklers and swords around their heads, rushed to the front of the team, taking the lead and taking arrows personally.

On the head of Nanzheng County, Zhang Lu was wearing a golden armor, covered with a celestial master's Taoist robe, and held a celestial master's sword, standing solemnly.

Behind him are the four generals of the Hanzhong Army, Chang Qi, Yang Bai, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang.

"All the troops listen to the order and give this celestial master a hard hit, archers, let the arrows go!"

Zhang Lu stared at the Han army that was surrounded on all sides and launched an attack, and said sternly.

"Chang Qi, Yang Bai, Yang Ren, Yang Ang, each of you guards a city gate!"

Zhang Lu said in a deep voice.

"The last will obey!"

The four generals of the Hanzhong Army responded in unison.

The fearless Han army was divided into four armies. Under the leadership of four generals, they attacked the four gates of Nanzheng County at the same time.

The siege battle lasted from dawn to noon, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides. The gates on all sides of Nanzheng County were already in dilapidated condition and became precarious.

The siege battle lasted for two hours, and more than half of the four military equipment of the Han army were killed or wounded.

Of the 8-strong siege team, less than [-] were still fighting at this time.

Zhang Lu's side defended the city from ten to seven or eight, and less than [-]% of the Hanzhong army was able to fight.

The frenzied Zhang Lu ordered his soldiers to drive the people in Nanzheng County to the city wall, and let the unarmed people join in the defense of the city.

Among them, the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women and children are not sent.

Seeing this scene, Liu Hong's heart ached because they were all his fellow citizens.

In order to prevent Zhang Lu from jumping over the wall, Liu Hong rode a black horse to the city and stared at Zhang Lu who looked like a mad dog on the wall.

"Zhang Lu, do you dare to go out of the city and fight me?"

Liu Hong's anger sank into his dantian, his spiritual energy gathered in his throat, and he said in a deep voice.

Under the influence of strong spiritual power, Liu Hong's voice drowned out the shouts of death on the battlefield and reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Hahaha, Son of Heaven, kill him if you have the ability. This Celestial Master will fight you in Nanzheng City."

Zhang Lu laughed wildly and shouted.

"Yes, I will personally go to the top of Nanzheng City and cut off the head of you, a traitor."

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha, my celestial master is waiting for you!"

Zhang Lu laughed wildly.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

Liu Hong left a sentence and rode away.

There is no point in continuing to fight. Although if you persist, you can take Nanzheng County in one go, but Nanzheng County at that time was already a ghost town.

Now the city is full of innocent people from Nanzheng County, and the Hanzhong army is hiding among the people. If the Han army wants to completely control a section of the city wall, they must slaughter all the people of Nanzheng County on the city wall.

Because Zhang Ren couldn't bear to attack the people, he was attacked by the Hanzhong army hiding among the people. He was stabbed in the abdomen and almost lost his life.

Fortunately, his personal guards were brave and fought hard to snatch the injured Zhang Ren from the top of the city and sent him back to the camp for treatment.

The sound of ringing gold spread throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers responsible for attacking the city began to retreat. The exhausted Han army retreated from the city in an orderly manner and returned to the military camp.

"How is Zhang Ren's injury?"

In the Chinese army treasure account, Liu Hong sat on the commander's seat and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, General Zhang Ren's injuries are serious, but not to his vitals. He has already fallen asleep."

The medic replied.

"Take good care of Zhang Ren and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Liu Hong ordered.

"The minister obeys the order!"

The medic replied.

"What are the casualties of each army?"

Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, all the armies were brave and fearless, and there was not much difference in casualties. Of the [-] siege troops, [-] were killed, [-] were seriously injured, and [-] were slightly injured.

Most of the wounded were injured because Zhang Lu drove the people of Nanzheng to the city wall, and the soldiers were injured to avoid accidentally injuring the people. "

Guo Jia came out of work and replied.

"A total of fifty thousand casualties!"

Liu Hong asked with a frown.

"Returning to Your Majesty, although Nanzheng County is a county seat, as the seat of Hanzhong, the city defenses have been specially reinforced by Zhang Lu, which is more comprehensive than the walls of ordinary county towns."

Guo Jia replied.

"Well, Zhang Lu's thief, I will kill him."

Liu Hong said sharply.

"Yongnian, how is the digging of the secret tunnel going?"

Liu Hong turned to look at Zhang Song and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I led [-] soldiers to take turns digging, and it has never stopped from yesterday to today. It is expected to dig through tonight."

Zhang Song came out of class to report.

"Speed ​​up the speed of excavation. We must ensure that the tunnel is solid. Before the third watch tonight, I will personally enter Nanzheng County and cut off the head of Zhang Lu's dog thief."

Liu Hong said solemnly.
