Chapter 405: Overwhelming
Luocheng is located in the northeast of Chengdu.
Outside the city, Zhao Yun was wearing silver-white armor, a gentian bright silver spear in his hand, and a white dragon horse in his crotch, handsome and extraordinary, heroic.
Beside Zhao Yun, a soldier straightened up, holding a large flag in both hands. This banner is embroidered with a war horse and a spear, and it is a flag unique to the broken military camp. Behind Zhao Yun, the 800-broken military camp stood in the wind, standing still like Mount Tai. Behind the broken barracks, there are 3,000 soldiers holding Han swords and wearing armor, which can be described as the peak of military appearance.
"Kill!"
Zhao Yun rode on the horse, raised the gentian bright silver spear in his hand, and roared.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, more than 3,000 soldiers behind Zhao Yun responded violently, and at the same time, the sound sounded like a thunderclap in the flat ground, which shook the world and soared into the sky.
The loud voice continued to sound, wave after wave, and kept coming towards the city.
On the tower of the city, the county commander who was in charge of defending the city saw this, his face changed greatly, and he was so frightened that he took three steps back again and again, and said in a lost voice: "What should I do?" What should I do? Zhao Yun led the army to easily take Zitong County, which was extremely powerful. Now that Zhao Yun is attacking the city, the city of my city is not as strong as Zitong, the soldiers are not as good as Zitong County, and the grain and grass are not as abundant as Zitong. ”
Behind the county order, after hearing this, the civil and military officials thought about it and showed different expressions.
Zhao Yun tilted his head slightly, and asked the junior colonel beside him, "Who is the city guard?" ”
The little colonel arched his hand and said: "Returning to the general, the scout reported that the name of the general of the city is Zhao Yuan, this person is a relative of Zhao Wei's side branch, and by virtue of Zhao Wei's relationship, he served as the commander of the county of Luocheng. However, this guy is not a wine bag and a rice bag, he is quite capable of governing the city in an orderly manner, but there is a shortcoming, this person is very afraid of death, whether it is in and out of the county government, or patrolling in the city, he must take a group of soldiers to protect his safety, for fear of being assassinated. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Oh, this person is also interesting." ”
The lieutenant also nodded, revealing a smile.
The Art of War: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. When Zhao Yun led the troops to Rucheng, he had already sent scouts to inquire about the news about Ruocheng, and found out the geographical location of Luocheng, the officials and soldiers of Rucheng clearly. Only by knowing all the information about the city can Zhao Yun make the most appropriate plan against the enemy.
There is no room for failure in attacking the city.
Zhao Yun looked up at Zhao Yuan and shouted loudly: "Zhao County Order, the general will lead the army to come, and no one can stop him. The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, Zhao County Commander immediately opened the door and surrendered, Ben will protect you from death, and suggest that the lord let you continue to stay in Yucheng and serve as the county commander; If it is stubbornly resistant, the Zitong County Order is a precedent for the Zhao County Order. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yun roared: "Ben will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, and after a quarter of an hour, if you resist stubbornly, Ben will send troops to attack Yucheng." ”
On the city tower, Zhao Yuan's face was pale and anxious, and he asked, "Everyone, Zhao Yun is menacing, what can I do?" ”
When the civil and military officials heard this, most of them were as pale as dirt and had lost ground.
Zhao Yun's reputation is very loud, especially the capture of Zitong County, so that Zhao Yuan, who is not far from Zitong, also knows Zhao Yun's name. Under the intentional investigation, Zhao Yun's deeds continued to reach Zhao Yuan's ears, and after getting the news of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yuan was even more jealous of Zhao Yun. Now that he was on the scene, he saw Zhao Yun leading the troops with his own eyes, which made Zhao Yuan even more frightened.
A quarter of an hour, not long, not short.
However, for the soldiers on the castle tower, it was definitely too short to have extra time to consider.
Zhao Yuan coughed lightly, glanced around at the people around him, and said, "Everyone, Zhao Yun's troops are outside, it is difficult to resist, you have a way to resist Zhao Yun." Now that the situation in Luocheng County is critical, you all talk about what to do. ”
"General, it's better to surrender in Kaecheng and welcome Wang Can into the city." The person who spoke served as the head of the county government and was Zhao Yuan's confidant.
This person is of medium stature, slightly thin, with three short whiskers under his jaw and two mustaches on his lips, giving people the feeling of a dog-headed military advisor. His dark eyes rolled slightly, and when he looked at Zhao Yun, there was a look of horror in his eyes. Now listening to Zhao Yuan's words, he hurriedly suggested that Zhao Yuan open the city gate and welcome Zhao Yun into the city.
"Hmph, if you don't have guts, you know how to surrender."
Behind Zhao Yuan, a military general snorted and said angrily.
The lord of the city snorted and said, "Yang Zhi, if you have the guts, you can lead your troops out of the city to fight Zhao Yun, if you can defeat Zhao Yun, the threat of the city will be gone immediately." You fart like this, don't act, stay on the city tower and twist and pinch, how despised you are! ”
Yang Zhi is the county magistrate of Luocheng County, in charge of military affairs.
"Go, go! It's hard to bring a certain family, and I'm afraid that Zhao Yun won't succeed. Yang Zhi snorted, snorted coldly, pulled out the war knife at his waist, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Captain, don't be impulsive!"
Beside Yang Zhi, his guards saw Yang Zhi leaving, his face changed greatly, and he glanced at the master of Luocheng County with resentment.
Yang Zhi Xingzi was more irritable, and was provoked by the agitation method of the master of the city, and immediately prepared to fight Zhao Yun, which must be uncertain about life and death. The guard hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Yang Zhi, but Yang Zhi threw him away, and said: "You wait for my good news on the city tower, wait for me to behead Zhao Yun, and then set up a banquet to celebrate." ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Zhi went down to the city tower.
In a moment, the city gate was wide open, and Yang Zhi rode out, brandishing a war knife and rushing towards Zhao Yun.
When the war horse rushed to a distance of one zhang from Zhao Yun, the war knife in Yang Zhi's hand was raised, and a sound of wind slashed towards Zhao Yun. Seeing the sword coming, Zhao Yun's expression was unwavering, there was no change, and the bright silver spear of gentian in his hand suddenly poked out, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and like a flying eagle pounced on food. The tip of the spear flickered, and when Yang Zhi's war knife had just been chopped, Zhao Yun dodged the knife on the side of his body, and at the same time, the spear in his hand pierced into Yang Zhi's armor, and slammed it up, lifting Yang Zhi up and flying into the sky.
"I can't help myself!"
Zhao Yun stood on the spot, the gentian bright silver spear in his hand was erected on the ground, and the tip of the spear was facing upward.
Yang Zhi fell quickly from the sky, and he saw the tip of the spear standing on the ground with a cold light, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body.
Yang Zhi shook his hands, wanting to change direction, but the speed of the fall was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, his body fell on the tip of the gun, and was pierced through the body by the tip of the gun. This scene, falling in Zhao Yuan's eyes, was even more frightened, he didn't dare to fight against Zhao Yun, he waved his hand, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Yun is too powerful, he can't stop it, he can't stop it!" ”
Zhao Yun shook his spear, threw Yang Zhi to the ground, and shouted: "Zhao Yuan, a quarter of an hour will be there soon, whether to fight or surrender, what are you going to do?" ”
"Open the gates, open the gates!"
Zhao Yuan was frightened in his heart, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and surrender.
When Zhao Yun heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He stationed his troops outside the city and would not occupy the city with any effort, so that he could seize the time faster and make a gesture of feints to attack Chengdu.
……
Mianzhu Pass, Yan Yantun soldiers are outside.
Before Yan Yan surrendered, he was the Taishou of Bajun, prestigious, capable, and the backbone of the army, and the generals and soldiers in Yizhou all knew Yan Yan's ability.
At this time, Yan Yantun's troops were outside, and the guards of Mianzhu Pass were even more in a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to fulfill his duties for Liu Yan and guard Mianzhu Pass, but on the other hand, he was afraid of Yan Yan's ability and felt that he could not resist the army led by Yan Yan.
The guards on the city tower thought left and right, and were in a dilemma.
Beside the guard, a confidant said: "General, Liu Yan has already been terminally ill, and he has no skills to return to heaven, plus the third son Liu Mao is dead, Yizhou has no owner, and it is difficult to support it!" On the other hand, Wang Can is full of momentum and menacing, and the general surrenders to Wang Can, and he will definitely be able to get an official and a half position. However, the general and Yan Yan fought, and after being defeated, they were likely to end up with a dead end, please think twice! ”
When the general heard this, he sighed and said, "In this way, you can only open the city gate and surrender!" ”
The general's henchman looked firm and said, "Yes, I can only surrender." ”
The guard sighed and ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome Yan Yan's army into the city." ”
Yan Yan led his troops into Mianzhu Pass to complete Wang Can's second wave of offensive.
Because Yan Yan was originally a general in Yizhou, coupled with Yan Yan's outstanding ability, he quickly mingled with the soldiers of Mianzhuguan and quickly established his prestige. Moreover, Yan Yan has already begun to make a gesture of feint attack on Chengdu, and let people pass the news that he will lead a large army to attack Chengdu.
……
In Fucheng County, the sound of killing outside the city shook the sky.
The generals stationed in Fucheng did not defend the city, but chose to fight to the death.
The two armies fought, and Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, the two killing gods, were together in one place.
The two of them were one on the left and one on the right, with a Han knife on the left and a mace on the right. The Hanzhong soldiers under the command of the two of them all used Han swords, took the advantage, and engaged the soldiers stationed in Fucheng, and the soldiers in Fucheng were not comparable to Xing at all and could not resist the Hanzhong soldiers.
The banner fluttered, the Hanzhong troops were like broken bamboos, and the soldiers led by the defenders of Fucheng were defeated and retreated, and it was difficult to resist.
Pei Yuanshao stared at the defenders of Fucheng, and after seeing the gap, he rode his horse and rushed up to kill the defenders of Fucheng.
Fucheng didn't take it easily without much effort.
After Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang occupied Fucheng, they immediately eliminated all the people who were loyal to Liu Yan and were ready to resist to the death, and the rest were some wall grass, or people who had already surrendered. After Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang solved the internal troubles, they immediately began to plan a feint attack on Chengdu and complete the task.
The northern defense line of Chengdu, the three major cities, became Wang Can's bag in a blink of an eye.
The reason for this is that there is no one in Yizhou to command, which makes the war on the front line chaotic, and they all do things according to their own preferences and wishes. Just like the defenders of Fucheng, they did not defend the city, but chose to take the initiative to attack, and made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, so that they were killed by Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and easily captured Fucheng.
If the generals of the three cities of Luocheng, Mianzhuguan, and Fucheng all choose to garrison the city, they will definitely be able to delay for half a month.
Half a month is enough for Zhao Wei to stabilize Chengdu and adjust the situation in Yizhou. However, before Zhao Wei could recover his breath, the three cities were captured by Wang Can at once.
……
Liu Yan died, the atmosphere in the state pastoral mansion was gloomy, and everyone wore linen and filial piety.
Liu Zhang did not come back, Yizhou had no backbone, and officials of all sizes became impetuous.
The loss of the three cities of Luocheng, Mianzhuguan and Fucheng has made matters worse, making Chengdu even more stormy. The current Yizhou is like a small boat in the surging waves, which may be blown away by the rushing waves at any time.
Governor's House, Hall.
Zhao Wei stood in the center of the hall, wearing filial piety clothes, with a white ribbon wrapped around his head, looking tired.
Liu Yan died, everything was on him, and the task was heavy.
Zhao Wei held the military and political power, not only to appease the restless minds of Chengdu officials, but also to preside over the overall situation and send people to investigate the latest news that appeared ahead.
It's only been a few days, and Zhao Wei's temples have turned white, and they have a frosty color.
