Chapter 372: Entering the City (I)
The next day, Gao Yuan set off with Zhang Liang, Wei Zeng, and Lu Renjie and rushed to Daliang, accompanied by half of the Beiwei Army and Changjie's Army, plus a 500-team scout army. The defense of Xingkou was handed over to Yuan Xuan.
And Yun Yao and Jian Wuji were both left in Xingkou by the plateau. Because the situation in Daliang City is too complicated now, even Gao Yuan is not sure whether he can take over as the minister of Wei smoothly, and now Xingkou is basically under the control of the Dai army, and the Wei army and the people are also under the command of the Dai army, so it is much more stable here. At the same time, Gao Yuan took the two kestrel to Daliang in order to exchange news with Xingkou in time.
Xiang Dong also took half of the Chu army and went to Daliang with the plateau, because Xiang Dong was the chief general of the Chu army and a representative of a country, so he should naturally go to Daliang. And Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo's stick wounds did not heal, so they stayed in Xingkou. At the same time, before leaving, Xiang Dong also sternly warned the two that they must obey Yuan Xuan's command, and if there is any more disobedience to orders, they will be driven back to Chu.
Such a group of more than 18,000 people and horses, about 300 chariots, rushed to the beam.
Although dragged down by the Chu army, the brigade did not walk fast, but the distance of fifty miles was not too far, and after walking for about two hours, they arrived in front of Daliang City.
Although for a period of time, Gao Yuan has been studying the city defense structure of Daliang City, knowing that Daliang City has thick walls and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but before coming to Daliang City, he found that Daliang City is tall and majestic, and it is still above his imagination. Even Linzi, the capital of Qi State, is slightly inferior.
Although the thickness of the city wall cannot be seen outside the city, the ordinary height is more than five zhang, about 12 meters, which is roughly equivalent to a five-story building. And the city tower is more than seven feet high. Today people can only look up. And every hundred zhang or so, there will be a protruding horse face, and the city wall is covered with guarded soldiers and flags, and on the whole, the guards are still tight.
In addition, the chasm is divided into two branches in the northwest of Daliang City, and it merges into a first-class in the southeast direction, forming a peripheral defense line of Daliang City, and the Fangcheng River of Daliang City is the river that introduces the chasm. Of course, if the water attacks the beam, the chasm is also a favorable weapon. However, there are still many houses outside the city, and most of the residents have moved out.
The brigade stopped by the moat, at this time the city gate was closed, the drawbridge was pulled up, Wei Zeng drove to the bank of the drawbridge, and shouted to the head of the city: "I am still Wei Zeng, the king of Ancheng, and now the people of Daijun Wu Anjun and Chu Guoxiang have arrived, quickly put down the drawbridge and let us enter the city." β
After a long while, I saw an officer appear at the head of the city, and said loudly to the city: "An Chengjun, the last general Wei Feng, on the orders of General Daliang, guards the city gate, except for the men and horses of my Wei State, other people and horses are not allowed to enter Daliang, so you can enter the city, the people and horses of Daijun and Chu are not allowed to enter the city, you can only camp a hundred steps outside the city, let them retreat, and I can open the city gate." β
When Wei Zeng heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "I am on the order of the king, and I invite the armies of the two countries on behalf of Chu to enter Daliang, even Wei Yan, the general of Daliang, can't stop it, you Wei Feng is just a small partial general, dare not let go?" β
Wei Feng snorted and said: "I don't know if the king has such an order, but I am ordered by General Liang to guard the city gate, and the people of Daijun and Chu will never be allowed to enter the city, if you dare to break into the city gate, don't blame me for being polite." As he spoke, Wei Feng turned around and said, "Listen to the soldiers in the city, if the soldiers in the city dare to break through the city gate, they will immediately open my bow and arrows." Although there were only a few promises from the city, Wei Feng's attitude of not opening the door and letting him go was very resolute.
Wei Zeng was also very embarrassed, but he also knew that Wei Feng would not open the door, so he had to retreat to the side of the plateau and said, "Wu Anjun, let's change the city gate and enter the city." β
Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "It's useless, Wei Yan is the general of Daliang, since we are not allowed to enter the city at this city gate, then other city gates will not let us in, and Wei Yan can still do this." β
Wei Zheng was stunned, and had to admit that what Gao Yuan said was indeed the truth, so he said: "Then please Wu Anjun retreat a little for the time being, go to the city in the next step, meet the king, let the king give an edict, forgive Wei Yan and dare not let him go." β
Gao Yuan said: "Then it's not necessary, if I can't even enter Daliang City, how can I command the Wei army to resist the Qin army." It's interesting, he actually gave me such a hand, but Wei Yan also underestimated me too much, just a city gate, thinking that he could stump me? β
Wei Zeng was a little puzzled and said, "Is there any way for Wu Anjun to enter the city?" β
Gao Yuan smiled: "I naturally have my own way. But is An Chengjun afraid that they will shoot you with arrows? β
Wei Zhuang was stunned for a moment, snorted, and said, "I think they probably don't have the courage yet." "Because Wei Feng is also a member of the Wei family, and he is in a high position, but there is considerable power behind him, a character like Wei Feng certainly does not dare to shoot him.
Gao Yuan nodded, whispered a few words in Wei Zeng's ear, Wei Zeng's face also changed, and said, "Is this good?" It's too dangerous. β
Gao Yuan said: "It's decided like this, Anchengjun will do what I instruct." β
Wei Zheng also smiled bitterly, so he had to nod and say, "Okay." Just according to what Wu Anjun said. β
Then Gao Yuan turned to Jiang Huanwu and whispered a few words to him, Jiang Huanwu smiled and said, "Don't worry, wrap it up on me." β
And Gao Yuan took two throwing guns from a soldier, took one for himself, and Jiang Huanwu took one, and then came to the Fangcheng River with Wei Zeng.
At this time, Gao Yuan had fully understood, because after he entered the Great Liang, he would not only take over as the Minister of State, but also serve as the Great Sima and control the military power, so that the Great Liang General Wei Yan would also be one level lower than himself. So Wei Yan gave himself a dismount and made it difficult for himself when he entered the city.
Of course, Wei Yan entered the city to meet the king of Wei, and Wei Yan could also use strict guards and not be careless to come to the pond, although he had to open the door and let him go in the end, but he would not be blamed by the king of Wei. At the same time, it is also a sue sΓΉ plateau, don't think that you can act arbitrarily if you become the minister of state and concurrently serve as the big Sima, but in the three-acre land of Daliang, you have to look at Wei Yan's face to act.
Therefore, Gao Yuan decided that he must enter the city through his own efforts, not only to pay tribute to Wei Yan, but also to tell the army of Wei, and he didn't have to look at Wei Yan's face at all. Even if he ordered that the city gates should not be opened, he would still have a way to enter the city.
The three of them came to the Fangcheng River, Jiang Huanwu stuck the javelin on the ground, holding the stick in both hands, and then Wei Zheng shouted to the city: "The soldiers in the city listen, Wei Feng disobeyed the king's order and did not allow Wu Anjun to enter the city, I will report to the king and punish him, and if you don't want to be guilty with him, stand on the city wall and don't move, understand no." β
Wei Feng also changed color a little, what did Wei Zeng mean by this, is it difficult for the Dai army to attack the beam? But only the three of them were by the moat, but of course Wei Feng would not be intimidated by Wei Zeng's words, and said, "Archers prepare." β
But by Wei Feng's side, only two pro-soldiers took bows and arrows, and the others didn't move, because Wei Zeng's words just now worked, of course the soldiers knew who Wei Zeng was, he said that he wanted to sue Wei Feng in front of the king, it was definitely not fun, Wei Feng was a child of the clan, maybe he would not be punished greatly, and he was just an ordinary soldier, maybe he would be pushed out to let the ghost die, so according to what Wei Zeng said, standing on the city wall and not moving, what do you like.
Wei Feng's face changed drastically, and he was about to interrogate the soldiers, when Gao Yuan had already raised his javelin and threw it at the city wall.
"Wow!"
The javelin brought out a fierce roar, flew over the moat more than four zhang wide, and inserted it into the city wall about two feet high, and the javelin five feet long was inserted into the city wall more than two feet.
Wei Feng didn't understand what was going on, he saw Jiang Huanwu put the big stick on the ground obliquely, Gao Yuan stood on the head of the stick, Jiang Huanwu's arms were forced, and he suddenly picked it up, and the whole person of Gao Yuan was raised more than three feet high, and he jumped over the moat diagonally, and when his body fell, he was already close to the city wall of Daliang City, and it happened to fall on the javelin position inserted into the city wall.
Gao Yuan's legs were a little on the shaft of the javelin, and his body bounced up again, flying straight towards the city wall.
After Jiang Huanwu provoked the plateau, he immediately pulled out the javelin inserted in the ground and threw it violently at the city wall. The position of this javelin was close to the battlement, which was the limit of the upward leap of the plateau.
Gao Yuan stretched out his hands, grabbed the barrel of the gun, took the barrel of the gun as the center, turned around, and with the force of this turn, his body flew up again, this time finally jumping over the battlement and falling on the city wall.
The Dai army and the Chu army under the city immediately let out a burst of cheers and cheers. And Wei Zeng also breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was finally relieved in his stomach, and at the same time, he was also thinking in his heart that the courage of the plateau was too big, and he was playing with some difficult actions.
When the plateau fell to the city wall, the soldiers in the city reacted, and Wei Feng immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Give it to me, kill him, kill him." β
But only a few of Wei Feng's personal soldiers around him raised their weapons and rushed towards the plateau, while the other soldiers in the city did not move, some hesitated, some held weapons, shouting "kill, kill", but they all did not move.
Gao Yuan knew that although he had climbed to the top of the city, it did not mean that everything was fine, and now he was facing a more dangerous situation, at this time, he must not show mercy to his subordinates, and he must use thunderbolts to fight quickly, otherwise, he may die on the city wall.
Therefore, with a wave of his left hand, Gao Yuan threw out three flying knives, and the three Wei soldiers who rushed to the front of the plateau immediately screamed and fell to the ground and died. And Gao Yuan didn't stop for a moment, and after throwing out the flying knife, he immediately pulled out his saber and rushed towards Wei Feng.
