"That's the captured officer of the Left Army!"

An official of the Yingyang Army recognized Liu Gan at the head of the city, pointed to Liu Gan and said to Tian Xin: "Your Majesty, this duke is the Jingling clan, his name is Gan, the character is winged, and he descended with Hu Xiu and Fu Qun, and he should be the governor of the left military camp." ”

On the city wall, thirty-seven Han prisoners were tied to the cross, their upper bodies exposed from the battlements, and they stripped off their armor one by one, their clothes were embarrassed, and their mouths were strangled by hemp ropes.

Most of them hung their heads, Liu Gan was still struggling, the humble cross almost collapsed, and was knocked on the back of the head by Wei Jun with a stick, Liu Gan hung his head and didn't struggle.

Tian Xin patrolled left and right, and his own Eighth Army had been deployed, presenting a standard offensive array of five in the front and three in the rear, with cavalry roaming on both flanks.

The front was only one hundred and thirty steps away from the Great Wall of Wankou, and a little more than a hundred steps away from the trenches outside the Great Wall.

Yang Yi also wore an ordinary style of two-crotch armor, he walked with a shield, as if he was an ordinary little military officer, even the coat on his body, the epaulette of the coat had been removed, and the rank on the back badge was only a lieutenant.

He came to Tian Xin's side and condensed: "Xiahou, Zhang Wenyuan has gone against the grain, and his time is running out because of this. ”

With a heavy expression, Yang Yi explained: "This is to coerce the defenders to fight to the death with the orders of our soldiers. ”

When Zhang Liao disrupted the Eastern Crusade, he ordered the beheading of the troops of Meishisuo, and because Meifu received the seal of the general of Wei, the barbarians of Meishiki's troops could be regarded as the rebels of Wei.

In addition, he was a barbarian identity, so he was investigated by Zhang Liao and killed all of them, so as to rectify the bad trend of the Wei army's successive surrenders.

The general Deng Zhan and the superintendent Wang Ling both had the motive of greedy convenience and bloody military exploits, and they also killed the officials under Huang Zhong's command who were defeated and captured.

In response, Tian Xin wiped out 2,000 Deng Zhan's men in the first battle, and the decisive battle of Hankou almost killed all the Wei soldiers who participated in the battle.

And now, Zhang Liao tied the captured Han army officials to the head of the city, the purpose was naturally not to force the Han army to suspend the attack.

In doing so, he can provoke the emotions of the Han army officials, and whether he attacks or not, some people will be slandered.

If he attacks now and the captured soldiers die, then Zhang Liao can spread rumors to scare the defenders with the Han army's massacre of the city, and inspire the defenders to fight back desperately.

The death of these officials can almost be regarded as Zhang Liao's initiative to break with Guan Yu, and the friendship between them will be cut in two, cutting off his own retreat and the retreat of his descendants.

Tian Xin thought calmly, and his anger was burning: "Send a letter to Zuo Jun to inform him of this matter." Ask for five hundred captives, and I will exchange them for the captured officers of our army. ”

"Shifang, if you come forward and shout, you will say that our army is willing to redeem the captured officials with ten times the number of people!"

"Order!"

Yu Zhong made a promise, tied a long lance with an apricot yellow silk belt and rode his horse to the north, and before he walked fifty steps, the defenders shot a round of arrows, strong bows and crossbows, densely nailed around Yu Zhong.

was also defenseless, Yu Zhong only had time to raise his arm to cover the door, and was hit by an arrow in his arm, chest and abdomen, and the whole person almost fell from the horse.

The mount was wounded, turned around and ran back with Yu Zhong, and a dozen guards scolded the panicked war horse with their spears, stopped it, and together they lifted Yu Zhong off the horse.

Tian Xin took a deep breath, stared at it, and saw Zhang Liao, who had a gray beard and was still thick.

Zhang Liao's face was expressionless, and after this round of dark arrows that violated battlefield etiquette were fired, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a look of relief between his eyebrows.

Now that the back road is gone, whether it is Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang, or Cao Hong and Sima Yi, they will have unlimited trust in themselves, and the next battle is inseparable from the sincere cooperation of all armies.

"Hehe, this is the means of a famous general?"

Tian Xin sneered, Zhang Liao broke the rules, wasn't his intention to provoke himself?

Whether he wanted to retaliate with cruel words or restrain his anger, Zhang Liao would spread rumors and coerce the defenders to fight to the death.

The generals gathered around, and Meng Da spoke: "Prince, shoot the arrow book, affirm the military discipline of our army, only ask the mastermind of the crime, and the rest do not ask about the blame." ”

Yang Yi also said: "Our army has a lot of paper, and it is convenient to make arrow books. It will take at least two hours for the left army to reply to the letter and the prisoners to arrive, during which time our army might as well make arrows and fill the trenches? ”

At this time, Yu Zhong had broken his arms, chest and abdomen with the cooperation of other military officials, and passed by Tian Xinrong's car on a stretcher, choking with tears and a sad face: "The minister was careless and suffered, and he was very guilty. ”

"The world can recuperate with peace of mind, and sooner or later it will be able to return to the field."

Tian Xin stepped out of the car, grabbed Yu Zhong's hand and comforted him gently: "And be relieved, after the city is broken, I will come to treat the wounds of the world." ”

Yu Zhong nodded again and again, trying to grab Tian Xin's hand with all his strength, but he couldn't use his strength and felt even more helpless.

When Tian Xin saw this, he said: "The world might as well treat the wounds in the chariot." ”

A hundred steps away from the rear, there is already a camp area for the wounded soldiers to be sheltered and bandaged, the periphery is covered with a curtain to block the autumn wind, and inside is the original operating room and reception room with straw mats laid on the ground and separated by straw mats.

The soldiers carried Yu Zhong into the chariot, and the royal hand pulled the mechanism, and the open-top chariot pulled up the tarpaulin from the tail to block the cold wind in the morning.

Leqi's supervising army, Zheng Hun, the Yangping county guard who served the imperial history and was the captain of the horse, widened his eyes and wanted to see more clearly, and he couldn't help but raise his head to reveal the female wall, and was pulled back by his own soldiers.

He squatted on the wall and drew a few strokes on the ground with a dagger, outlining the skeleton structure of the tarpaulin, and smiled: "Wonderful! ”

At this time, Zhang Wen, who was behind Tian Xin's formation, came to the formation and said righteously: "Your Majesty, the army should be consigned to the mandate of heaven, and the expectations of all the people should be disappointed, how can the fighter be delayed because of the coercion of the thief army!" ”

Zhang Wen arched his hand towards the location of Luoyang, his arms were raised high, his tone was also high, and his voice was rich: "In the second year of Guanghe, the ten-year-old son of Taiwei Qiao Gong traveled to the capital, was arrested by thieves, and extorted money, but Qiao Gong did not allow it. Shi Si Lixiao Wei Yang Qiu, Henan Yin He Jin, and Luo Yang ordered Zhou Yi to lead the three officials to surround the thieves, fearing that Qiao Gongzi would be injured, and he did not dare to attack. Qiao Gong scolded loudly, and the three officials attacked, killing all the bandits, and Qiao Gongzi also suffered misfortune. ”

This matter is known to the whole world, and afterwards Duke Qiao entered the palace to pay homage to Emperor Ling and asked Emperor Ling to issue an edict. The edict said: Whoever has a robbery, he will be killed! Thou shalt not redeem the treasure and open the way of adultery! ”

Zhang Wen raised his hand and pointed to the north, and said with hatred: "This bandit behavior is also!" If Xiahou pities the lives of Liu Gan and other officials, then in the future, the thieves will force the people to go to the city, and our army will attack Ye? Don't attack yes? If I don't attack, the thief will be arrogant, and the people will be disappointed, and the thief will be harmful! ”

He looked around at the generals and colonels around again: "At that time, Qiao Gong was invited, and Emperor Ling issued an edict to the world to apply for criminal discipline. Since Emperor An, the legal ban has been slightly dispersed, and the robbery of the Jingshi has been repeatedly banned, and the noble family is not spared, talking about the people! Since then, after the edict, the Beijing master robbed all things and refused! ”

He waved his arms, as if behind him was this hostage decree established by Qiao Xuan and Emperor Ling, which seemed extremely powerful: "Your Majesty, the thief army was not afraid of Xiahoudun being robbed in the past. The righteous division of our army, His Majesty's Northern Expeditionary Soldier Jing Cong, all have the heart of death. ”

"Today's attack on the thief is the ambition of all Liu Wenyi!"

Zhang Wen bowed and bowed: "If you are a thief, you are evil!" To tolerate adultery is to be evil! Your Majesty, why hesitate! ”

Luo Qiong stepped out sideways, and arched his hand towards Tian Xin: "Junhou, please also fulfill Liu Wenyi's people's aspirations." ”

Meng Da also followed the other generals to ask for his life, and said: "Save Liu Wenyi today, Liu Wenyi will feel guilty, this is not what he wants!" ”

He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the miserable Liu Gan and the others on the city wall, and his lips trembled: "If the last general falls to such a state, but if he wants to die quickly to save his full name, there is no other thought." ”

Tian Xin's fists and five fingers were spread, and he clenched them tightly, making a rattling sound, and his right hand was slowly raised high in a fist.

Everyone looked up, Tian Xin's fist spread out into a hand knife shape, and pointed obliquely at the Great Wall of Wankou: "Drumming!" The armies filled the trenches in an orderly manner! ”

He stared at Zhang Liao, pointed at Zhang Liao with the index finger of his right arm, and made a palm knife across his neck, making a throat cutting ceremony.

Zhang Liao smiled, pursed his lips, ho ho twice, and spit out a mouthful of old phlegm outside the city.
