Chapter 280: The Fall of Guangzong
After Sun Zhi began to attack the city, Zhang Jiao also commanded the Yellow Turban Army to attack the Yanmen Army and began to return to defense.
At the beginning, under the leadership of Guan Sheng and Zhang Liao, Zhang Jiao was under great pressure, but in terms of number of people, he barely resisted the attacks of Zhang Liao and Guan Sheng.
"Good teacher, the Han army retreated!"
Just as the Yanmen Army was about to attack the city wall, the Yanmen Army led by Zhang Liao and Guan Sheng suddenly retreated, which made Zhang Jiao look at the suddenly retreating army for a moment in confusion.
"It seems we have successfully defended tonight."
The young guard did not understand the situation in front of him. When he saw the Han army retreating, he shouted with joy.
Compared to the guard's delight, Zhang Jiao looked at the Han army wearing black armor in front of him with a look that was not very good.
Although it was not the first time that Zhang Jiao could see that this was the Yanmen Army that made the Huns frightened.
"We can't take it lightly and send orders to let all soldiers return to the east gate."
Seeing that the Yanmen Army in front of him had no idea of withdrawing, Zhang Jiao thought of a worse plan later.
And just as Zhang Jiao thought, just after Zhang Liao and Guan Sheng retreated, the Yanmen Army, which was slowly advancing as the rear army, began its first siege under the leadership of Sun Zhi.
"Kill! Attack the city wall!"
Sun Ce received the news that Sun Zhi ordered the siege, and was more excited than anyone else, so he rushed up alone.
"Well... Yang Lu, you lead an army to follow Sun Ce to attack one of the directions, Sun Lie, you and Guan Sheng to attack the other side, I will be in the back."
Seeing that Sun Ce was rushing up like this, it was not a solution. He could only let Yang Lu serve as support to protect Sun Ce's safety, while on the other hand, Guan Sheng and Sun Lie attacked as siege parties.
During the fierce attack of the Yanmen Army, Zhang Jiao once again faced a difficult defense, but fortunately, the young guards just now ordered all the Yellow Turban soldiers to come to the East Gate to assist in defense, so that they could defend the East Gate with their number.
"Young Master, it seems that there are more and more Yellow Turban troops in the East Gate, but it seems that there are much less than at the beginning."
After Zhang Liao sieged the city for the first time, he retreated. Now he has not been sent by Sun Zhi to attack the city. He can only press the formation behind him with Sun Zhi.
"Well... I feel so too. Compared to the previous siege, there are many fewer people, and even the Yellow Turban Guard has changed. This time I didn't expect that Zhang Jiao would personally go up to the city wall to command the defense."
After hearing this, Sun Zhi nodded and said, expressing confusion about Zhang Jiao's appearance.
Because there was a legend before that Zhang Jiao was ill in bed, and this news was completely true.
"And, after the general was replaced, I couldn't see the general named Shile. Maybe there would be any fraud in it, so it's better to be careful."
Sun Zhi discovered that so long has passed again. Except for Zhang Jiao, he did not notice Shi Le's movements. Thinking about Shi Le's intelligence, he was also afraid that there would be any tricks in it.
"Zhang Liao, you will take the rest of the people to follow Sun Lie and the others to attack one direction again, put pressure on one and three directions. I want to see what tricks this Shi Le is going to do."
Seeing that it was not a solution for random thoughts, Sun Zhi could only continue to put pressure on Guangzong City, hoping to lead to Shi Le's tricks through the pressure on Guangzong City.
"Affect the order."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao quickly bowed his hand and took his army to Guangzong City.
Now there are only 3,000 people left by Sun Zhi, and more than 20,000 people have been invested to enter the siege. In addition to the strong attack of Sun Ce, Sun Lie, Guan Sheng, Yang Lu and others, Zhang Jiao's face was filled with cold sweat.
Seeing that the east gate of Guangzong City had begun to be captured on the top of the city, Sun Zhi looked at the current situation even more strangely. Except for the support he had just arrived, Sun Zhi did not find the back.
How many reinforcements are coming?
Although it was strange, when Sun Zhi saw the current great situation, he could only grit his teeth and continue attacking, hoping to put pressure on this side and create a chance for Sun Yun on the other side.
Sun Zhi's pressure did create opportunities for Sun Yun and the others.
The Yanmen Army's attack alone made Zhang Jiao unable to hold on. Shi Le had taken away nearly 30,000 people, and with the remaining 30,000 people in the city, Zhang Jiao no longer had any troops to defend.
While the Yanmen Army was fierce, there were also generals with high-quality martial arts skills such as Zhang Liao. Zhang Jiao could only order the defenders from other sects to come and assist in defense.
Although the number of people was advantageous, compared with the well-equipped Yanmen Army, the situation of the Yellow Turban Army began to appear one-sidedly.
And on the other side.
Sun Yun led Gao Su and others back to the Guangzong City area. This happened to see Niu Zhuang leading his army to wait behind.
"Niu Zhuang."
Sun Yun shouted loudly. After seeing the man in the distance, he was still a little hesitant, but he instantly felt happy and shouted: "Second Young Master, you are back."
When Niu Zhuang saw Sun Yun coming back, he waved his hand vigorously.
“What’s the situation now?”
Sun Yun looked at the direction of Guangzong City, let Niu Zhuang stay here, and also monitored Guangzong City's defense. If there were gaps, then our offense could also begin.
"Report to the second young master, I was still thinking about whether to launch an attack just now, but you have not come back yet, so you have never dared to go out."
Niu Zhuang said, pointing at the north gate where there were few people left on the north city.
"In other words, the eldest brother and Uncle Lu have already started the attack?"
When Sun Yun saw that there were indeed not many people on the top of the city, he muttered to himself.
"Second Young Master, where is this Miss Zhang Ling going to put?"
Gao Su came here with a girl in a long green dress and asked when he saw Sun Yun.
"Well? Second Young Master, why did you go out and bring back a woman?"
Niu Zhuang didn't know about Sun Yun's attack on the Yellow Turban Army that fled late at night, and asked strangely.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
When he saw Zhang Ling, Sun Yun remembered something and said, "Niu Zhuang, please place Miss Zhang Ling next to Miss Zhao's temporary residence. Zhao Yun, you can follow along."
"Well, okay." Niu Zhuang originally wanted to ask something, but seeing that Sun Yun continued to work on other things and had no time to pay attention to him, he had to nod and replied. Zhao Yun was nothing. It was Sun Yun's instructions, so Zhao Yun naturally had to complete it well.
After the two of them pressed Zhang Ling back,
Then Sun Yun looked at Gao Su and said, "As for us, we will start attacking the North City Gate with five thousand brothers."
"As for orders, then I will have two thousand Yanmen cavalry under my command?"
Gao Su asked strangely when he saw that the Yanmen cavalry under his command had not given the order yet.
"But remember Shi Le? The Yanmen cavalry has a greater role now. Scouts are dispatched to investigate the surroundings, but they cannot run too far, because it is still too difficult to find the traces of the army clearly with Ye Se today, and all we need to do is to put pressure on Shi Le."
Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, Sun Yun thought that there might be a midnight in his heart. This time point itself is the time when everyone should sleep well, but now it is a sleepless night.
"Then I'll make arrangements immediately."
After understanding Sun Yun’s arrangement, Gao Su bowed and left.
After everything was ready, Sun Yun got on the horse again. Just as he was about to set off, a voice came into Sun Yun's ears. Looking from a distance, he found that it was Jiang Wei who was back, which was also a joy.
I was thinking about it alone
It is still a bit troublesome to rely on the Yanmen cavalry to defend Shi Le. I am worried that it will be difficult to make a decision because the Yanmen cavalry has no commander, but if Zhao Yun comes to commander, he is afraid that he will not have any prestige. After all, the Yanmen army also pays great attention to ability. When Zhao Yun has not made any achievements, Sun Yun did not intend to let Zhao Yun lead the army. However, if Gao Su is allowed to commander, he will help him attack the North City Gate.
At this time, Sun Yun knew the pain of not having a general for the first time, but now that Jiang Wei is back, it is different. At least, Sun Yun can completely let Gao Su lead the commander, while Jiang Wei and he attack the North City Gate together.
"It's really time for you to come back this time, Bojo."
When Sun Yun saw Jiang Wei, he said with a smile.
"Oh? The second young master seems you are ready this time."
Jiang Wei also smiled and replied while picking fun.
"Haha, I've been prepared for so long, so I've been ready. You're back. Now my elder brother and the others should have started to attack the city. When the North City Gate is empty, it's enough for our troops to attack Guangzong City."
After saying that, Jiang Wei understood and said directly: "Abide by the order."
After Jiang Wei's return, Sun Yun asked Gao Su to command the Yanmen cavalry to guard against Shi Le's sneak attack, while Jiang Wei followed Sun Yun to attack Beicheng.
When he learned that Sun Yun had also captured Shi Le's fiancée, he praised Sun Yun's good luck.
Under Sun Zhi's attack, Sun Yun also began to prepare for the North City Gate.
The originally peaceful North City Gate suddenly ushered in a strange army, and it was also a black-armored army, which made the remaining North City Gate defenders instantly mess up.
Originally, Sun Yun was worried about whether it would be too relaxed, but at Jiang Wei's reminder, he also remembered that Shi Le had withdrawn with his main force, and Guangzong City became even more empty. Coupled with the pressure from Sun Zhi, it was not surprising that the North Gate was empty.
After hearing this, Sun Yun felt relieved.
Within an hour, the North City Gate was captured in just half an hour.
In addition, Sun Yun also asked Jiang Wei to lead two thousand troops to attack the West City Gate directly, while Sun Yun attacked the South City Gate. This time, Sun Yun did not give Zhang Jiao any chance.
If Zhang Jiao escaped like this, although he would be alive in a few days, even a cage could escape, and Sun Yun would not be able to lose this face.
This time, Sun Yun did not give Zhang Jiao any way to live.
Although Zhang Jiao temporarily gained defense in terms of number of people, the city was taken down and soon fell down due to the ferocity of the Yanmen Army.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhang Jiao could only take the young guard and the Yellow Turban soldiers who were guarding him to start running towards the south gate.
"Good teacher, we are almost at the South Gate."
The young guard shouted happily after seeing Guangzong's southern gate.
Seeing the South Gate, Zhang Jiao was so bitter that he couldn't say anything. He thought he could keep it for a night with the number of people, but he didn't expect that he was taken down without even three hours.
Fortunately, with the Yellow Turban soldiers' vows to defend themselves, Zhang Jiao was able to escape from the Yanmen army, which was also considered a good fortune.
"It's coming soon!"
When the young guard saw the south gate, he immediately turned around and shouted.
Just after looking back, Zhang Jiao found countless fire lights on the south city gate. Seeing this scene, Zhang Jiao shouted repeatedly: "Lu Shuang, stop quickly!"
"What?" The young guard did not see the abnormality in front of him. Before he turned around, a stream of light and shadow penetrated into the darkness and came to the young guard with waves.
Puff! "What's going on?"
