Chapter 83: Annexation of Five Counties in Yangzhou (Part 2)

What was supposed to come has come, and the purge operation in the city has not yet ended, which caught Yuan Yao off guard.~~

Half a month of hard work finally made this young man feel better. After receiving the urgent order, he immediately shouted: "What are you still doing? Send my military order quickly and guard me tightly. I will fight side by side with the soldiers."

!When the city is there, people are there, but when the city is gone, people are going to perish!”

Yuan Yao was so tough that Wu Liang was a little agitated.

After all, there are still close to 30,000 troops and horses in the city. If each family is asked to pool together some and spend a lot of money to recruit some dead soldiers, they may not be able to withstand it in a desperate situation. After all, they are the one defending the city, and they have a good location. In addition,

We also have an advantage in terms of military strength and population. As long as everyone is united and defended, the chances of winning are still very high.

Yuan Yao wore armor and carried a sword. He bravely walked towards the tower surrounded by a large group of elite guards. When he saw the soldiers wanting to retreat in fear, he waved his sword and shouted: "Hold it!"

!Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed!"

But the situation of the war can no longer be reversed by his intimidation and will.

Standing on the high tower, there are already rolling waves below, the terrifying projectile machine is still roaring, and the spear phalanx, cavalry phalanx, and car crash phalanx stride forward and charge forward.

Intense rain of arrows shot up from the bottom of the city to the tower, and the soldiers who could not escape were hit by the arrows and fell down. The accurately calibrated stone fell from the sky for nine days, smashing stone bricks wherever it hit, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The mast on the city tower had been smashed, and the big flag fluttering in the wind had fallen to the bottom of the city, and was stepped on by the enemies at the city gate. The arrow rain was so dense that it was difficult to resist the rain, and the defenders on the city tower could hardly hold on.

Lived.

"Go forward! Hit the men!" Sun Ce held a shield in his hand and rushed to the front with the other shield soldiers, shouting at the arrows that were tightly protected behind him.

The soldiers behind shouted, and the dense shield army in front moved out of the way. The huge pointed car was caught by them, roaring and colliding with the thick city gates, making a muffled "bang" sound, shaking the whole place.

The soles of the soldiers on the tower trembled, as if there was an earthquake.

"one two three--"

"Boom!"

"one two three--"

"Boom!"

Sun Ce shouted his slogan, and the soldiers gritted their teeth and attacked the city gates again and again.

The soldiers on the city tower noticed their threatening behavior and immediately shouted: "She, smash it!"

But the city had long been on guard against them. Huang Zhong commanded the Divine Arm Camp and said: "Suppress with fire!"

Before two waves of arrow rain were fired from the city tower, the long-range migratory locusts that were several times more dense than the city came overwhelmingly. They couldn't even lift their heads from the attack, so they could only lie down behind the arrow crenels, listening to the rain of arrows, and sucking.

The choking flying stone powder from the tower.

"Hold on! Reinforcements will arrive immediately! As long as you can repel the enemy, each of you will be rewarded with five taels of silver!" Wu Liang shouted loudly on the tower for Yuan Yao.

But there was a bunch of people on the tower, howling and screaming like thunder, and no one could hear his cry.

Then an arrow flew out of nowhere and penetrated directly through the back of his head. Wu Liang fell down before he could scream.

Yuan Yao was frightened when his most caring subordinate died in front of him. He desperately pulled out his tut and ran to the bottom of the city tower. Before he got halfway, he saw fierce fighting sounds coming from all directions in the city, and then he saw many soldiers throwing their weapons away.

He took off his weapons, took off his armor and fled back and forth.

"What's going on!" Yuan Yao was not good at external affairs, but he was very dignified internally and shouted angrily.

A man with his face covered in blood ran over and cried: "Sir, it's not good. It's against the law, it's against the law..."

Yuan Yao recognized this person as the servant who grew up with him in the mansion, and asked in surprise: "Who rebelled!"

The man exclaimed in an incoherent tone: "Everyone has turned against them, the Zhang family, the Qiao family, and..."

"The mole?! He is all the mole!" Yuan Yao exclaimed.

Offensive outside the city. Those in the city who had already made up their minds, or had already sent letters of surrender to Zhang Yang, all unanimously commanded the Ding family generals. Taking advantage of Yuan Yao's busy mind, they suddenly launched an attack and stormed the empty Governor's Mansion.

With the Yuan family's mansion, even if it doesn't work, it can still shake the morale of the defenders and obtain a certificate of surrender to the new lord!

At this moment, the men of Nancheng let out an earth-shattering cheer, and then an even louder solun broke out. Everyone shouted: "The city is broken, the city is broken!"

Yuan Yao's face suddenly turned pale, and his hands and feet were cold. Looking at the Yangzhou Army who was crying and fleeing, and the Xuzhou Army whose morale was high and pouring in to chase the north, Yuan Yao staggered towards his residence.

go.

The moment the crumbling city gate collapsed, Sun Ce dropped his shield and rushed out like a tiger, wielding his knife and yelling: "Follow me in!"

"Fight in!"

"Fight in!"

The soldiers jumped over the peaks to hit the car one after another, shouting to kill and rushed in. The soldiers on the tower had all their morale dropped. Under the unstoppable offensive of swords and guns, under the continuous slogan of "Hand in the gun, don't kill!"

During the attack, the soldiers dropped their swords and guns one after another, squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and waited for treatment.

"Reiterate the military order again! Only stubborn enemies will be killed, and those who disturb the people and kill indiscriminately will be dealt with according to the military law!" Zhang Yang did not cheer immediately, but immediately issued the military order, and his own soldiers quickly conveyed it to various places.

Sun Ce was unstoppable, and his spear camp and wind camp quickly disintegrated after entering the city and took over all the defense areas of the city tower. He quickly pursued them, occupied the treasury, attacked the government office, and eliminated the last stubborn enemy.

As soon as Yuan Yao returned home, he was arrested by the wealthy clan who acted as internal agents. Then Huang Zhong personally led his troops to kill him.

The servants of these rich families were not well trained, and the walls of Yuan Shu's mansion were very high and covered with sharp knife points, making it difficult for even the best thieves to overcome. Therefore, they broke through the outer courtyard and have been unable to break in even after fighting hard.

Those wealthy families could see that Huang Zhong's official position was definitely not small, and they came to see him one after another, explaining that they had all been angry with the Prince Consort in advance, and that today's action was arranged by the Prince Consort. They hoped that the general would not regard them as enemies. Then.

Send Yuan Yao there.

The representatives of the wealthy families pointed with a grimace at the majestic mansion and the tall iron gates guarded by two huge stone lions. Then they pointed at a pile of corpses under the ladder beside the high wall and said: "General, I'm waiting for you. This wall is solid."

We can't get over it, and the enemy is very tenacious, so please ask the general for help."

Huang Zhong nodded and said: "This mansion is so magnificent, it is a pity to destroy it."

He glanced at the pale-faced Yuan Yao, but he had no intention of using Yuan Yao to blackmail the Yuan family into surrendering. He wanted to use force to solve the problem and let these wealthy families see what they could do.

Then he said to the guards around him: "But this wall is still much shorter than the tower outside. Inform the government camp and ask them to send a few ladders, and tell Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhang that they want to give the lord a meeting gift. Yuan Shu

No. At the same time, ask the Shadow Character Camp to send people over to help."

After the guards left, soon five ladders with a height of two feet came from the agency camp.

The soldiers climbed up the tall ladder, and the altitude was higher than that of the Yuan's generals who were hiding on the defensive line of the courtyard wall.

Those who went up were the best archers from the Divine Arm Camp. They were condescending and fired their arrows, and soon cut off most of the soldiers there. The others could no longer hold on and collapsed.

At the same time, the Yingziying cat rushed to the bottom of the wall, threw a triangular iron hook on the top of the wall, then quickly climbed up along the rope, and then disappeared on the other side of the wall with a quick flip. The whole process was completed in one go, and

There is almost no sound, these people are as light and agile as cats.

Although they had ladders and didn't use them, they climbed the wall. Although it was puzzling, the skills of these people were impressive.

These wealthy families have no doubt that with their presence, no matter how high the city wall is, it will be inexplicably collapsed overnight.

If any of them betrayed, I'm afraid there would be shadow-like people climbing over the wall at night, sneaking into their rooms, and taking away their heads without making a sound.

Thinking of this, everyone's necks went cold, and Huang Zhong's eyes were even more awe-inspiring.

As soon as the shadow passed, the majestic iron was quickly opened. Huang Zhong led the soldiers and generals of the wealthy families to rush in heroically, breaking down all the ridiculous resistance, and finally killed dozens of Yuan family members, old and young, and hundreds of families.

Take all the maids out and gather them in the courtyard.

The battles in other areas of the city were similar. With the powerful clans adding insult to injury, they encountered almost no decent resistance.

All the resisting enemies in the city have been eliminated, the treasury is being counted and recorded by dedicated personnel, and the prisoners are being interrogated and reorganized. Everything has been settled.

Only then did Zhang Yang and Wen Wu enter the city.

But in order to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to shoot cold arrows, Zhang Yang not only wore soft armor on the inside, but also wore unambiguous armor on the outside, and always wore a helmet. The guard battalions around him were equipped with shields and crossbows, and they surrounded him vigilantly.

Keep an eye on them, just in case something goes wrong.

At this time, the personal guards came to report that General Huang Zhong was already waiting at the former Yuan Shu's residence. All the Yuan family members, young and old, were captured and were waiting for the Lord to go and be punished.

Zhang Yang chuckled: "Yuan Shu will be very excited when he finds out that he captured her son and took over his mansion."

Everyone laughed, Zhang Yang waved his hand and said boldly: "Let's go and see together!"

At this time, Sun Ce and Zhu Cai came over with Huang Gai and others.

Sun Ce's face was covered with blood. He had obviously killed many people. After seeing Zhang Yang and being polite, he bowed his head and apologized: "I just discovered Liu Yao's mansion. The general was red-eyed for a while, and then he remembered his father's hatred, so he

Break in through the door

, Liu Yao's family of more than fifty people were all killed by me. I know that I have violated the military order and cannot be forgiven, but I have no regrets. If the lord wants me to die, Sun Ce will commit suicide now and will never give the lord the name of benevolence.

Leave a stain.”

Zhang Yang and others were all shocked. The reason he came this time was to avenge Liu Yao. Now that it's over, Yuan Shu's family is not dead yet, but Liu Yao's family is all dead. It's really a headache.

Zhu Cai and Huang Gai both came to persuade Sun Ce and Zhang Yang to forgive him.

Zhang Yang glanced at Jia Xu and others. Zhang Yang patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and sighed: "Brother Wentai's great revenge has been avenged. I am very happy. But how to punish him? This is not the place to talk. You need to take a rest first.

After I have arranged many matters in the city, I will have a good talk with you."

Zhu Cai, Zhu Zhi and others breathed a sigh of relief, and then Zhang Yang whispered to Dong Cai: "Announce to the whole city that Yuan Yao was insane and killed Lord Liu and buried him with his whole family when the army was defeated. I will take the place of Lord Liu Yao."

A whole family of young and old took revenge."

Sun Ce cupped his fists at Zhang Yang gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, Lord!"

Yuan Shao was sailing east from Anfengjin at this time.
Chapter completed!
