Chapter 959: Take the Plains
Early the next morning.
Under Zhao Feng's orders, Xu Huang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Lu Su respectively led their headquarters and began to storm the plain.
Among them, after Zhang He dealt with the affairs of the country, he led his troops to the plain and was stationed in a large camp with Zhao Feng.
In other words, the army attacking the plain was led by Xu Huang with more than 9,000 troops to attack the north gate of the plain.
Zhang He led 5,000 troops to attack the east gate of the plain.
Lu Su led an army of more than 10,000 to attack the west gate of the plain.
Wen Chou led 5,000 troops to attack the southern gate of the plain.
The trap camp is all heavy infantry, which is not suitable for siege warfare, and Zhao Feng's personal guard battalion is repaired in the main camp together.
Zhao Feng did not choose to attack, not because he was timid and did not dare to go to the battlefield.
Instead, at a critical time, join the attack on the west gate of the plain.
In this way, the west gate of the plain can be directly breached under the surprise of the plain.
After all, the West City Gate of the Plains, which was originally adapted to the offensive strength of 5,000 soldiers, suddenly became the offensive strength of more than 15,000 people.
As long as the dispatch is not supplied, the west gate of the plain will naturally be breached.
The four city gates were stormed for a day, and after the battle ended that day, he sent the battle damage report to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng sighed after checking the battle report.
Because it was a strong attack on the plains, the battle damage was much larger than that of a regular attack.
Among them, Xu Huang's department killed more than 3,000 people, and the headquarters led by Lu Su and Zhao Feng's Chinese army also lost a total of more than 3,000 people.
Zhang He and Wen Chou's subordinates also killed more than 2,000 people respectively.
This loss can be said to be the largest loss since the battle with Zhang Yan.
But it can't be helped.
After all, Zhao Feng belongs to the besieging party, and it is normal to suffer large losses.
What's more, Zhao Feng is still storming the plains!
Early the next morning, the army continued to storm the plain as originally planned.
On this day, Zhao Feng also led the personal guard battalion and lined up outside the west gate of the plain with Zhang He's troops.
Zhao Feng looked up at the sky, and turned his head to look at Xiong Da: "Pass the order and start attacking the city!" ”
Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he shouted behind him: "Beat the drum!" ”
"Attack!"
The voice fell.
There was a bang! Boom! Boom! Earth-shattering drumming.
The drums beat out.
Zhang He's subordinates shouted and shouted to kill, and rushed to the city gate of the plain.
The war had just begun.
As soon as the commander ran in front of Zhao Feng, he bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"Zhang Duwei asked his subordinates to come to report, and the general defending the city on the city wall said that the plain minister was ready to surrender, and he had already sent people to inform him at the city gates on all sides."
"Hopefully we can stop attacking for a while!"
After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.
After thinking about it for a long time, he turned his head to look at Xiong Da: "Mingjin collects his troops!" ”
Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After saying this, he turned his horse's head and rode his horse in the direction of the drum.
Now the drum is too loud, Xiong Da is giving orders on the spot, and the sound can't be conveyed at all.
It took less than a moment.
The beating of drums stopped, and the sound of the troops was resounding.
After hearing the sound of the withdrawal of troops, Zhang He quickly led his troops and withdrew from the city wall.
In the process of Zhang He's withdrawal, the guards on the west gate of the plain did not continue to shoot arrows.
It can be seen from this that it is really possible for the plain phase to choose surrender.
After Zhang He completely withdrew his troops and returned to the formation, Zhao Feng began to wait patiently.
Since it is a city wall with four walls, they all require the withdrawal of troops, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the news of these withdrawals will be sent to Zhao Feng.
It took less than a moment.
A sentry rode quickly to Zhao Feng from the south, and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"Captain Wen asked his subordinates to come and report."
Then he reported the battle that happened at the South City Gate to Zhao Feng.
The content is similar to that of the generals guarding the East City Gate.
Then he added: "General Wen has temporarily withdrawn his troops. ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "I know." ”
"You wait here for the next order."
The sentry knight bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After saying that, he rode his horse to the side and waited.
It didn't take long.
Lu Su also sent someone back to report the relevant matters.
The situation is similar to that of the West Gate and the South Gate of the Plains.
Zhao Feng also asked the sentry sent by Lu Su to wait on the side.
Waited another quarter of an hour.
Zhao Feng was puzzled: "It stands to reason that the people sent by Xu Huang should be ahead of Lu Su. ”
"Now that the people sent by Lu Su have all passed a quarter of an hour, why haven't Xu Huang's people arrived yet?"
Then he turned his head to look at Xiong Da: "Send someone to Xu Huang to see the situation." ”
Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he prepared to ride his horse and go to the north gate of the plain to check on the first and second.
At this time, from the north, there was a sentry horseman, riding a horse and quickly approaching Zhao Feng's formation.
Zhao Feng hurriedly stopped and said, "Xiong Da, wait first." ”
"Xu Huang's side, it seems that someone has been sent."
Xiong Da didn't have any opinion on Zhao Feng's order, and directly stopped the movements in his hand.
It took less than a moment.
The sentry ran to Zhao Feng and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"General Xu wants his subordinates to come and report the good news."
"The North Gate of the Plains has been taken!"
"Now the army has marched into the Plains City."
After Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned.
I thought that the plain was too defensive and couldn't withstand the pressure, so I chose to surrender.
And the current situation should be not long ago, Xu Huang was about to take the north gate of the plain, so the plain was too guarded, so he wanted to surrender.
After all, after breaking through the city, if the plain is too defended, it will become a prisoner of the stairs.
And if he chooses to surrender, maybe Zhao Feng will let him continue to serve as the Taishou of the Plains.
Compared with the two evils, it is very normal to choose the lighter, and the plain is too guarded to choose this way.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Feng still let him serve as the commander of West Pingchang County after the surrender of the West Pingchang County Commander.
This can reduce the resistance of other prefectural orders and greatly increase the probability of other prefectural orders surrendering.
Otherwise, with the mentality of these wall grasses, how could Zhao Feng let them continue to hold their original positions.
In case Zhang Yan has the opportunity to lead his troops to attack back in the future, these people will definitely choose to surrender as soon as possible.
And the reason why Xu Huang has been delayed for so much time is that the East Gate, West Gate, and South Gate have all chosen to withdraw their troops.
The Plains Taishou wanted to keep the Plains for the time being, and then it was better than Zhao Feng to negotiate the conditions, so he sent some of the soldiers of these three gates to the North Gate.
Therefore, even the west gate where Lu Su was located had already sent someone over to report the situation for a quarter of an hour, and Xu Huang took the north gate of the plain.
In other words, because of Zhao Feng, it will cause Xu Huang's department to die a lot more!
Of course, Zhao Feng can't be blamed entirely for this.
After all, not only Zhao Feng withdrew, but even Lu Su and Wen Chou also chose to withdraw their troops.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Xu Huang would be so fierce and could take the North City Gate so quickly!
