Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Shen Dan, Shen Yi has been away for many days, although Shen Bao is very confident in his plan, but before things are implemented, he is still restless.For several days, I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well.

At this time, a commanding soldier came in and reported to Shen Bao: "Report to your lord, there is a message from the defenders at the key pass ahead. It is said that there is a group of troops coming to Shangyong. The banner is the Feng character banner. The number of people Up to a thousand people."

Shen Bao's anxious gaze instantly turned into surprise. It seemed that his plan was going well.But he was extremely cautious, and he still ordered: "Hurry up and scout the Kuaima scout carefully to see if there is anything special in the team. After the investigation, Kuaima will report to the old man."

Just over an hour later, the soldiers came to report again: "I would like to report to you, the team is not very special, just two heads are carried by flagpoles. But the heads are disheveled, their faces are covered with blood, and their faces cannot be seen clearly." .Now the team is close to the key point of the pass where our army is stationed."

Shen Bao secretly laughed in his heart, thinking [This must be because Feng Yu has successfully beheaded Shen Dan and Shen Yi.Come to Shangyong to accept the city.His plan was close to success, and he was only one step away from his goal of becoming the master of the three eastern counties. 】

He immediately ordered: "Quickly pass on the old man's military order, so that the soldiers at the pass must not resist or block the opponent, but open the gate of the village, and just follow the instructions of the opponent." Before that, Shen Bao asked the soldiers stationed at the pass Most of the Shen army retreated, and now there are only a few hundred soldiers in the camp.

Hearing such a strange order, the commanding soldier couldn't help feeling very puzzled.When he hesitated for a moment, Shen Bao frowned, stared at him and said: "This is a military order, anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded! Hurry up and deliver the order." The ordering soldier hastily made a promise and retreated.

Half an hour later, Feng Yu arrived at a key point in the east of Shangyong City, where Shen Jun had already camped and set up defenses.

However, at this time the gate of the village was wide open, and the remaining hundreds of soldiers in the village were waiting in formation, but they did not hold weapons in their hands.The leading lieutenant officer was also baffled by Shen Bao's military order and was greatly confused.But the military order is like a mountain, and we have to obey it.

He saw the other party's army approaching the gate of the village, he trotted up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "You are the Zhuyang Army?"

Feng Yu reined in his horse and said to the captain, "This is Zhuyanghou, General Fenwei Feng Yu."

The school lieutenant saw that he was a big shot on the other side, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and kowtowed: "My lord, we have received an order from the superior officer, and we are here to welcome the Zhuyang army. Let the lord command and dispatch."

Feng Yu nodded and said, "That's very good." Then he ordered the Zhuyang Army to take over the camp in a dangerous place.Take the rest of the troops and continue to march toward the Yong.

Not long after, Feng Yu's brigade marched to the city of Shangyong.Although the city wall of Shangyong City is not as tall as the big city outside the mountain, it is much taller than that of Fangling City, as high as three battles.

Shen Bao had already been waiting at the top of the city, and the city gate was wide open, as if he was ready to surrender to Feng Yu.When Feng Yu's men approached, Shen Bao smiled all over his face, cupped his hands and bowed to Feng Yuyao: "Fortunately, this old man did not disgrace his mission, and brought this Shangyong and the second city of Xicheng for the prince. Please enter the city and accept the surrender. "

At this time, in Shangyong City, above the Urn City, the buildings on both sides of the main street were covered with nearly [-] hidden soldiers.Inside the Wengcheng, there are a lot of fire starters piled up among the sundries beside the street.

Half an hour ago, Shen Bao gathered all the generals in Shangyong City and claimed that Shen Dan and Shen Yi who had gone to attack Fangling were defeated and killed.He has lured Feng Yu into the bait with a trick of feigning surrender, and ambushed and killed Feng Yu when he entered the city.It is necessary for the soldiers to fight the enemy vigorously and avenge Shen Dan and Shen Yi.

Shen Bao believed that he had completely gained Feng Yu's trust, so he dared to use such tricks, otherwise the safe choice should be to stick to the pass and keep Feng Yu out of the country.But he didn't know that Feng Yu never believed him from the beginning to the end.

Now, Shen Bao stared at Feng Yu's figure, but was extremely anxious in his heart.As long as the opponent moves two hundred steps forward and enters the city, he will be done.

He watched Feng Yu ride his horse towards the city gate step by step, and every time he took a step, he felt more joy and more eagerness at the same time.Feng Yu took two steps, then suddenly reined in the horse's rein and stopped in place.

This Shen Bao was anxious like a cat scratching his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

"Junhou, please go to the city quickly. The old man has prepared a feast for Junhou, and there are beautiful singers to help." Shen Bao continued to say with a smile on his face.

Feng Yu said unhurriedly, "Mr. Shen, how many troops are there in the city?"

Shen Bao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself [Could this be suspicious?If that's the case, this guy is a suspicious person, after all this, he can still doubt the old man!But things have come to this, the play must continue, but as the old man wishes, he can step into this city gate. 】

He had no choice but to answer casually.Unexpectedly, Feng Yu asked some irrelevant questions one after another, and Shen Bao still patiently answered them one by one.It took half an hour just like that.

Finally, Feng Yu pointed to the two bamboo poles hanging from the heads and said, "Mr. Shen, haven't you thought about verifying these two heads? What if Benhou kills the wrong person?"

Shen Bao was so angry at this moment, and at the same time, he had already noticed that there was a mystery in the matter.But he still said to him: "Your majesty is wise and powerful, how could he mistake the enemy general. This is absolutely impossible."

"Hey. It's better for Shen Gong to verify it." After Feng Yu said, he ordered the soldiers carrying bamboo poles to come forward and put their heads a few battles away from Shen Bao's eyes, so that he could watch carefully.

When Shen Bao saw it, his heart sank instantly, and he also understood that Feng Yu had seen through his strategy long ago.Those two heads turned out to be the heads of his two sons Shen Zhuang and Shen Qiang.

Shen Bao's complexion changed, and then he laughed wildly, "Feng Yu, the old man really underestimated you. You can see through the old man's tricks. But the old man succeeded more than half, and it's still the same. The lord of the mediocre."

Then, his complexion changed, and he shouted sharply: "Pass down my military order, close the city gate, order to lie down on the street, and the soldiers in the urn city will go up to the top of the city to defend against the enemy!"

But after a while, the city gate was not closed, and no more soldiers climbed to the top of the city.The orderling who went to deliver the order never came back.It was only then that Shen Bao became truly frightened, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind 【Could it be...】.

Feng Yu, who had been standing in front of the city gate, suddenly moved at this moment, leading his troops and riding horses into the city quickly.After a while, he led a large number of soldiers to the top of the city and blocked Shen Bao on the tower.

There were dozens of soldiers around Shen Bao, some of them were killed on the spot when they tried to resist.The rest who dared to resist, dropped their weapons one after another, waiting to be captured.

Chapter 033: The Expected Xiangyang Attack

Feng Yu looked at Shen Bao coldly, but the other party suddenly changed his expression like a chameleon.Kneeling down in front of Feng Yu with a plop, wept bitterly and said:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old man made a big mistake because he was greedy for power for a while. The old man really wanted to assist the Lord sincerely at the beginning, but this old man..."

At this time, two generals came up from behind and kowtowed to Feng Yu: "My lord, the whole city of Shangyong has been controlled by our army, and all the generals and soldiers in the city have joined our army."

Shen Bao, who was covering his face and crying, peeked out, and saw that the two were Shen Dan and Shen Yi.It turns out that after Feng Yu rescued Shen Yi from the Wushan ape-man, their friendship points rose to 80 and 60 respectively. Feng Yu struck while the iron was hot and cast two green cards for generals to surrender, maximizing their friendship points and earning them under his command at the same time. Be your own piece.

This time when he came to Shangyong, Feng Yu dealt with Shen Bao at the east gate, delaying his time.Shen Dan and Shen Yi led hundreds of soldiers around to the west gate, revealed their identities, and asked the guards to open the city gate.The generals guarding the gate saw them, how could they not obey their orders.After the two of them entered the city, what they did next was naturally to take back the command of each department as a matter of course.

Seeing the pretentious Shen Bao, Shen Dan didn't get angry, but he didn't give Feng Yu any advice on how to deal with Shen Bao.Because he felt that he had just joined the lord, and it was inappropriate to do so.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yu pointed at Shen Bao and said, "This old thief will be dealt with by you two brothers. Because he didn't do any real harm to this Marquis except premeditated. But he betrayed your Shen family. .In addition to killing your Shen family's trilogy."

Shen Dan clasped his fists and said to Feng Yu: "Thank you, my lord. My lord is right. At the beginning, it was because the old thief's family was in Shangyong and Xicheng that he was allowed to go to Fangling. I don't want this old thief to intensify without self-reflection. Not to mention harming the common people in the trilogy. He even wanted to harm my two brothers and take the three counties to the east as his own. , My Shen family trilogy is the trilogy of the lord, and the people of the three counties respect the lord."

Shen Yi echoed her brother's remarks from the side.Finally, Shen Dan waved his hand and said: "Come here, drag this old thief down and abandon the market!" As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers stepped forward and dragged Shen Bao down who had collapsed into a pile.

……

In the government office of Shangyong City, Shen Dan and Shen Yi presented to Feng Yu the household registration records of the two cities.Feng Yu flipped through it and was taken aback.These two remote mountain cities have a total of nearly [-] households, more than [-] people, and more than [-] soldiers.

If it hadn't been for Shen Bao's actions, it would have been a very difficult task for Feng Yu to take down these two cities.At that time, Feng Yu judged through various information and intelligence that Dongsan County had a maximum of [-] people, and thought that it should not be a problem to break them by surprise.

At the celebration banquet, Feng Yu expressed his intention to transfer part of the population to Zhuyang.He originally thought that the Shen brothers would resist this, and they were even prepared for the decline in their friendliness.No, after listening to what he said, the friendship between these two people has not changed at all.

Shen Dan clasped his fists and said to Feng Yu: "Even if the lord doesn't say it, Shen Dan has the intention. Let me tell you the truth, before, we planned to transfer a large number of people to the deep valleys farther away. But in that way, it is inevitable There will be conflicts with the Banchu Man tribe living in the deep mountains. And the life in the deep mountains is very difficult, and the common people are not very willing to go. So it has been delayed and not implemented.”

Feng Yu asked curiously: "Oh, why send people out?"

Shen Yi was the first to report back, "My lord, I don't know. Shangyong, the two cities of Xicheng are located in a basin surrounded by mountains. Therefore, the two cities were not affected by any foreign military disasters. During the great plague, my two brothers were separated in time. The spread of the plague. In addition, the two counties received many refugees who went to the mountains to survive. That's why the population has expanded to such an extent. Also because of Shangyong, Xicheng is located in the mountains, and the arable land is very scarce. It is difficult to feed so many people with the land. If there is any natural disaster, the common people in the three eastern counties will suffer from famine."

Shen Dan took his words and said: "So now the Lord can accommodate and transfer some people, which just solves this problem."

After hearing what they said, Feng Yu relaxed and said with a smile: "That's great, then let's transfer [-] households from Shangyong and Xicheng. But they must go voluntarily, and they cannot be forced."

Shen Dan, Shen Yi replied: "My lord, don't worry about this. As long as there is safety and security, no one in the mountainous area would want to move to the plains. Everyone will definitely rush to sign up to become the lord's direct subordinate."

The three of them drank until late at night before they dispersed.

In the morning, Feng Yu just woke up.The system displays a task reminder interface in sight.

[Mission: Conquer Wu County.Task content: Conquer the salt-producing land in Wu County.Mission rewards: Refined Salt Refining Workshop Facility Building Card x1, 5 Mu Potato Field Facility Building Card x100, 1 Mile Plank Road Facility Building Card x[-], cavalry scout training unlock]

After Feng Yu finished washing, the soldiers outside the door came to report——Liao Hua went to Shangyong himself, saying that there was an urgent military situation that he wanted to report to Feng Yu himself.As soon as Feng Yu's face changed, he hurried to the hall.

As soon as Feng Yu saw Liao Hua's red eyes, he knew that he came to Shangyong after a whole night's journey.

As soon as Liao Hua saw him, he hurriedly said, "My lord, something serious happened at home."

"Did the Jingzhou army attack me in Xiangyang? Or Zhuyang?" Feng Yu asked calmly.

Liao Hua opened his mouth in surprise and said, "My lord, do you know? It's Xiangyang, and our Xiangyang Wubao is under siege. Yesterday, my subordinates received the news that the supply ship brought back from Zhuyang, so they immediately rushed to Come and report to the lord."

"Don't worry, this is all within my expectations. Before we went west, I expected that Jingzhou would attack my Xiangyang Wubao in the near future. They didn't take advantage of the situation. Judging from the level of secrecy in Zhuyang, they may all be I don't know that our main force is not in Zhuyang City."

Liao Hua suddenly realized: "Ah, the Lord has already prepared, and now the three counties in Dongdong have been leveled. I can return to Zhuyang with the Lord, and first go to rescue Xiangyang Wubao. Then attack Wu County."

"No, we can't return to aid now, but we have to go south at full speed to capture Wu County."

Seeing the puzzled expression on Liao Hua's face, Feng Yu said again: "Although there is a geographical barrier, we have been marching west for some time. Therefore, the news of our attack on Dongsan County will spread to Liu Biao and others during this period. After hearing the news, they can guess with a little bit of brainpower that our ultimate goal is the salt-producing area of ​​Wu County. So..."

Liao Hua hurriedly replied: "My lord, I understand. We have to take Wu County before they notify Wu County to strengthen its defense, or even send troops to reinforce Wu County. But, Dianqing only has seventy people!"

Feng Yu nodded and said: "That's right. So we don't have time to go back to Zhuyang now. Today we will send troops from Shangyong to attack Wu County. Dianqing and the others only have 71 people, but I believe they can defend Xiangyang well." Wubao."

Chapter 034

It was the morning when Feng Yu led his troops to march towards Shangyong.A large group of people is also heading towards Xiangyang along the lush southwest bank of Mianshui.

Dozens of hundreds of banners flutter domineeringly in the summer morning breeze, and at first glance, they seem to be overwhelming.

When they were still five miles away from Xiangyang Wubao, the scouts in the fort who were in charge of patrolling and guarding the periphery discovered their tracks.

In the dock, the scouts were gathered in the courtyard to listen to Dianqing's pre-war mobilization and deployment.Dian Qing had been waiting for this day for a long time, and the excitement in his emotions far outweighed the nervousness at this moment.

A gray carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and soared from the Wubao. An hour later, the Zhuyang Pigeon House would receive the message.

After the mobilization and deployment were completed, Dian Qing spit out a short four-character military order: "Change armor and go to the city".The scouts took off their light leather armor one after another, and put on a full set of black iron armor that had been prepared.This kind of heavy armor is not suitable for scouts to equip normally, but it is not usual now.

Each piece of Xuanjia's Zhajia is made of [-]-year-old steel.Even with the extremely efficient Zhuyang Arms Workshop, it only takes four or five pieces a month.There are only more than [-] sets of such armor in Zhuyang, and most of them are allocated to Xiangyang Wubao.

The attacking army was naturally Liu Biao's army, with as many as 2000 people, and the leading general was Liu Biao's newly promoted brave general Wenpin.At this time, Wenpin, who was leading the army on a bay red horse, couldn't help but recall the scene where Liu Biao ordered him to capture Xiangyang Wubao.

In the government office, he received the military order from the lord Liu Biao under the complicated gazes of the two ranks of staff and generals.

Liu Biao asked him to lead an army of 2000 to capture Xiangyang Wubao.Wenpin didn't know how big this Xiangyang Wubao was.But no matter how big it was, it was just a dock.

At one point, he thought he had misunderstood the military orders, and asked Liu Biao, "My lord, do you want your subordinates to capture Xiangyang Wubao before attacking and occupying Zhuyang?"

"No, just pick up that Wubao, and then occupy the abandoned city of Xiangyang."

Liu Biao's answer convinced him that this was an opportunity to give him credit.No wonder the eyes of colleagues are so envious and jealous.Liu Biao did not give this kind of task to his brother-in-law Cai Mao, but gave it to him, which is enough to show that he is highly valued.

……

A force of 2000 is really nothing in the long history of human warfare.But for the Xiaowubao, which is no more than five battles high and only five or six battles long and wide in front of Wenpin, it can be said to be full of armored soldiers and dark clouds over the city.

Despite this, Wenpin still remained calm, without the slightest feeling of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.He didn't worry about the defenders in the Wubao, but only worried about the possible arrival of enemy reinforcements.If there is any accident in this battle, it must be caused by the sudden reinforcements from Zhuyang.

Surrounded by his own soldiers, Wenpin rode his horse around the city of Xiangyang, galloping up and down the Mian River several times, carefully checking the terrain.At last he returned to the formation and gave the order:

"Pass down our military order, divide half of the troops into two groups, patrol along the southwest bank of Mianshui, the upper and lower reaches of Xiangyang, and guard against the Zhuyang army landing from Mianshui to attack our side."

The reasons for his decision are obvious.Because the southwest bank of the Mian River between Zhuyang and Xiangyang is full of high mountains and deep cliffs.If the Zhuyang army wanted to support Xiangyang, even if they went by land, they could only come from the northeast bank of Mianshui, and then cross the river to reach the city of Xiangyang.Therefore, as long as the defense is deployed along the river, it is possible to cut off the large reinforcements that the enemy may come.

It was only after Wenpin saw two groups of soldiers patrolling the Mianshui River that he raised his hand high in the air, and then swung it down fiercely.Absolutely spit out two words:

"Siege!"

……

Dian Qing squinted his eyes to observe the enemy formation more than a hundred battles away, while his scouts crouched peacefully behind the crenel on the top of the wall.

The Jingzhou army moved suddenly, and quickly approached Wubao from three sides, followed by drums and trumpets, and thousands of people shouted in unison, creating an overwhelming momentum.

Dian Qing raised the longbow in his hand, shot a sharp arrow, and then calmly ordered: "Get ready for battle!"

In the distance, a Jingzhou military academy lieutenant suddenly stopped running, with an arrow inserted into his eye socket, he threw himself forward and fell to the ground.In the crowd, no one cared about his fall.The torrent continued to rush towards the dock from three sides.

When "Hong Feng" was less than a hundred steps away from Wubao, the scouts crouching behind the wall suddenly got up and shot sharp arrows at "Hong Feng".

Dozens of sharp arrows shot out in a volley, which looked quite dense, but for this torrent of thousands of people, it was like throwing a pebble into a pond.In other words, it can make this "peak" a little bit chaotic.

The armor of Jingzhou soldiers is simple, just wear a belly pocket that only covers the front chest and belly, and the back is not covered.But Hao Lai can be regarded as wearing armor, which can always reduce the damage of arrows.When a wave of arrows came down, only a dozen or so soldiers of the Jingzhou Army fell to the ground, while the rest of the soldiers continued to charge forward swiftly.

After the next two waves of arrows, "Hong Feng" had rushed to less than ten battles in front of the Wubao wall.Because the two waves of arrow attacks do not require distance, the scouts all use armor-piercing heavy arrows.Another sixty or seventy enemy soldiers were killed and wounded.

Dian Qing himself had shot and killed five people in a row, and at this moment he yelled "Fuck!".All the scouts hid behind the walls almost at the same time, and the arrows below the city were already attacking the city like locusts.

Wenpin, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw nearly a hundred wounded soldiers and corpses carried down in front of him, and felt a wave of anxiety and anxiety in his heart.He didn't expect there to be such dense and sharp arrows in Wubao.Before the real siege began, more than half of the siege force was lost.

However, he still believed that the Wubao would be conquered soon, because at this time densely packed ladders were erected on the three walls of the Wubao.There are almost no gaps between the ladders, covering all three walls.Jingzhou soldiers climbed densely and quickly to the top of the city like a colony of ants.

But the wall of Wubao was eerily calm.A Jingzhou soldier had just climbed up the crenel, and a loud voice came from his ear: "Kill!".That was the password issued by Dian Qing,

Following the shout, dozens of scouts hiding behind the wall came out, and dozens of steel knives stabbed at the Jingzhou army who was about to climb the crenel.Caught off guard, these [-] or [-] Jingzhou soldiers were instantly pierced through their bodies by sharp blades and fell to the ground.

Only one Jingzhou soldier who moved the fastest and had already jumped onto the top of Wubao was spared. He raised the short spear in his hand, roared and stabbed fiercely at the flank of a scout.

The spear blade froze in mid-air, and the tip of a steel knife emerged from his gaping mouth.Dian Qing pulled out the steel knife from the back of his head, and threw his body under the city.

The Jingzhou soldiers on the ladder pushed aside the fallen corpses of their comrades, and continued to attack the city head without hesitation.The archers of the Jingzhou Army under the city bent their bows and set up arrows, trying to find a gap where they could shoot cold arrows at the enemy.

Helplessly, the figures were too dense, and all the swaying eyes were the figure of Benfang Paoze wriggling on the ladder.If you want to take into account accidental injury, this kind of cold arrow is very difficult to shoot.

Chapter 035 Killing two birds with one stone

The sobbing horn sounded, which was the signal for the Jingzhou army to retreat.The Jingzhou soldiers who were bathing in blood on the wall of Wubao retreated like a tide, leaving countless corpses at the bottom of the wall.The scouts in the fort took the opportunity to push down all the ladders still hanging on the wall.

After the first wave of offensive, Wenpin immediately understood that the fort was guarded by the opponent's elite soldiers, and that using the traditional method of attacking the city was tantamount to giving away a head.He decisively stopped the attack and stopped the meaningless loss in time.

After two hours of rest and rearrangement, the Jingzhou army swarmed again.There was another downpour in summer, which washed away the previous bloodstains, but at the same time made the whole world wet.

This time, Wenpin changed his strategy, and the ladders were still filled with soldiers and ants attached to them.But behind the ladders used for attack were full of crossbowmen.They kept shooting at the top of the city at close range, regardless of whether they would accidentally injure Pao Ze who had climbed to the top of the city.

Arrows were thrown to the top of the city like a shower, so densely packed that as long as someone appeared at the crenel, they would almost certainly be hit by arrows.

A scout with two arrows stuck in his body once again stabbed a Jingzhou soldier who appeared on the crenel to the top of the wall. The moment the opponent fell to the top of the wall, he got another arrow in the chest.Fortunately, although the arrow pierced through his armor, it only hurt flesh.

But not everyone was so lucky. A scout next to him had just beheaded an enemy soldier when an arrow pierced his face, piercing his mouth from left to right.Another Jingzhou soldier just jumped over the wall at this moment and was squatting in front of him.

Enduring the severe pain, the scout swept away with all his might without thinking.The knife flashed, and the Jingzhou soldier who hadn't gotten up yet was decapitated, and his head rolled down into the courtyard of Wubao.
