Chapter 2939: Lets see each other off at the city gate, the long night is coming
Pang Youwen in Wancheng is like a child who has been spoiled since he was a child. He cannot accept the slightest blow from social reality. After venting his anger, he fell into complete autism.
Tired and no longer in love.
Just do what you have to do!
After yelling angrily, he closed his eyes, closed himself off, lay down and let himself be slaughtered.
Pang Shanmin stared at Pang Youwen who was lying on the ground. After a long time, he shook his head and gave up communicating with him. Then he waved his hand and asked people to take him down. He would then use his head to sacrifice a flag or do something else.
It all depends on the need. After Pang Youwen held a knife against Pang Shanmin, to Pang Shanmin, Pang Youwen was no longer a person, but could only be regarded as an object.
After all, Pang Shanmin is just Pang Youwen's cousin, not his parents.
How to use this Pang Youwen specifically...
For example, using Pang Youwen's men to lure Cao Jun?
Pang Shanmin shook his head slightly. This is not easy to operate. It is better to use it to quell the resentment of ordinary people in Wancheng after the war...
However, it is still necessary to prepare in advance for Cao Jun's arrangement.
After Huang Zhongbei went out of the city gate to arrest Zhu Ye and Deng Long, who had escaped, but there was no follow-up, Pang Shanmin directly proposed this idea to Huang Zhong. It was not that it was impossible to catch him, but it would take a lot of effort, so Huang Zhong
They just sent out a small team to follow the footsteps, but Huang Zhong himself returned to Wancheng to take charge.
"Cao Jun will not let go of this opportunity." Huang Zhong nodded and said, "In that case, it's just a show."
Although Huang Zhong has always had a calm expression and a smooth aura, in fact, he is full of disgust for Cao Jun in his heart. Compared with being promoted out of the grass and treating his own hussar, Cao Jun's old classmate Cao is basically
In Huang Zhong's eyes, he has done nothing good and has done a lot of bad things...
Liu Biao didn't do anything good, but he didn't do anything bad either. At least during the years when Liu Biao was in power, Jingzhou was relatively peaceful. But after Cao Cao came, Jingzhou's situation deteriorated even though Xiangyang issued notices every day to indicate that the economy was stable.
, everything is normal, but what is the specific life of the people? Do we still need official notices to prove it?
Therefore, Huang Zhong did not mind giving Cao Ren and Cao Zhen a lesson in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, to let them know that not everything can go as they wish. As for whether it will attract more and greater revenge from Cao's army, Huang Zhong on the one hand is
The family records have been transferred to Chang'an. On the other hand, Huang Zhong is also sure that Pang Youwen's rebellion is inseparable from Cao Jun.
After all, the direction of the smoke outside the city is already very clear.
Pang Shanmin nodded, "I am going to assemble the small officials in the assembly hall to maintain order in the north city, put out fires and provide disaster relief. The general will be in full charge of the rest of the military affairs."
Huang Zhong cupped his hands and responded, "You can rest assured!"
……m9(`Д′) m9……
In fact, Cao Jun also did a lot of robbing cities.
After defeating Yuan Shao, most of the county towns in Jizhou were directly captured. It is similar to the game where the leader of a force dies and no heirs are left, and all the flags are white, and then two soldiers can occupy a city.
Cao Zhen came with Xinye's troops and horses, intending to grab whatever he could. After all, if there was really civil strife in Wancheng, then Wancheng would be equivalent to a city with a white flag. Whoever takes it first will naturally belong to him.
Therefore, the cavalry led by Cao Zhen rushed to the southern suburbs of Wancheng near dusk.
Naturally, those who arrived early were all cavalry and did not have any siege equipment. Whether they could successfully seize the city all depended on whether the civil strife within Wancheng could open the city gate.
"The city gate! The city gate is open!"
A sharp-eyed Cao Jun cavalry screamed with uncontrollable ecstasy.
Everyone, including Cao Zhen, was in high spirits!
That's right, Wancheng Gate was opened, and there were still some vague corpses near the gate. It was obvious that they had gone through a desperate battle.
However, it is said that the city gate is indeed open, but it is not fully opened, but only a crack is opened to accommodate three people walking parallel, or two horses driving together, trying to swarm in, there is obviously something wrong.
As Cao Jun arrived, someone shouted loudly near the city gate. Immediately, the noisy shouts of many people rang out in Wancheng. Even the fireworks above Wancheng seemed to be strong.
A few points...
From a distance, Cao Zhen seemed to be able to hear some shrill cries in Wancheng, as if the arrival of Cao's army suddenly brought greater chaos to Wancheng.
Cao Zhen tightened his grip on the sword.
His heartbeat quickens.
When he came to Wancheng, he did think that if he was lucky, he could get Wancheng for nothing! But at the same time, he also admitted that it would be lucky...
What counts as luck?
For example, did you bump into a dead dog when you went out? Or was you pooped by a bird under a tree?
Or is it like this now, before arriving at Wancheng, I found the door open?
I don't know why, Cao Zhen suddenly felt uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.
The fighting at the city gate seemed to have become weaker. The soldiers at the city gate seemed to have retreated into the city in panic because of the arrival of Cao's army, while those "friendly troops" at the city gate were rushing towards Cao Zhen and others.
The man shouted something and waved, and then followed him into the city gate.
Through the gap in the city gate, you can see a small piece of sky in Wancheng.
Dark, filled with black smoke, the sky is about to sink into the night.
"General!"
The surrounding guards and soldiers were all looking at Cao Zhen. They didn't know the reason for Cao Zhen's hesitation, and they were also waiting for Cao Zhen's order. They even seemed slightly anxious because of the slight wait.
Fighter planes disappear in an instant.
If it is true that all the "friendly" people at the city gate are dead and the defenders inside the city have closed the city gate, then they can only wait for the infantry of the subsequent large forces to catch up and build siege equipment before attacking the city.
, or you can only go back to Xinye in a gray state...
However, Cao Zhen held the sword firmly, as if trying to draw power from the handle of the sword.
Finally, Cao Zhen raised his sword and pointed it at Wancheng, shouting sternly: "March! Seize the city!"
No matter what, you should give it a try.
If you pass by, you can't miss it.
……ヽ(｀Д′)-A……
At this moment, most areas in Wancheng have actually been pacified.
The process of pacification is very simple and ordinary.
However, the price often paid is blood, and many of the soldiers responsible for stabilizing the market are covered in blood.
Most of these bloods are not rebels, but thugs who don't know what to call them.
In other words, a practitioner of zero-yuan shopping.
No matter when and where, as long as order is disrupted, there are always some people who want to fish in troubled waters and buy for zero dollars.
This is not just Heige's tradition. This phenomenon can be found in most areas with chaotic order, and the more people are uninformed in the area, the more serious this phenomenon is.
Indifference to the law, thinking that the ignorant are innocent, and that the law does not hold everyone accountable may be the reasons for most zero-dollar purchases.
Wancheng is no exception.
In Wancheng, merchants obviously have more money than ordinary people, and the envy and jealousy they usually suppress, which are usually just gossip after dinner, have now turned into hatred, and when greedy desires arise, they also
There is not much sense in looting and destruction.
In the hearts of these guys who take advantage of the situation, other people's lives are worthless, only money and goods are the most important. The more chaotic it is, the happier these guys are. As for the conflict between Pang Shanmin and Pang Youwen, or what will happen if Cao Jun comes,
They don't even think about it, they just want money and goods right before their eyes!
Therefore, in the early stages of the chaos, it was the outlaw rebels who caused the damage, and as the chaos continued, more problems were caused by the damage caused by these thugs.
These "thugs" may not be vicious on weekdays, and may even be kind. At most, they may be resentful and hate unfairness. However, under certain circumstances and conditions, there is nothing unusual about these people.
, maybe at a certain moment, either due to temptation or losing control of oneself, he will suddenly transform into a "thug".
It's just that such "thugs" will be quickly defeated when they are suppressed by regular soldiers. Because these guys who buy for zero yuan have a broken heart, and it is impossible to join forces to resist. When they encounter
When the soldiers came to suppress him, the first thing that came to his mind was that the fellow Taoist would die but the poor Taoist would not die.
Some ran away, and some were immersed in greed and failed to escape in time.
The resisters were killed on the spot, and the remaining ones were captured and taken to the cross street at the gate of the south city.
Huang Zhong stood on the cross street and signaled to drive the groups of people who had been arrested for zero-yuan purchases into the street. At this moment, these "thugs" suddenly turned into sheep, bleating,
The ferocity in robbing property and goods was completely gone.
"General!" A soldier looked at the flag erected on the top of the city, "The forward of Cao's army has arrived!"
Huang Zhong nodded and waved his arms.
The soldiers formed an array and began to press forward against these zero-yuan purchases.
When the swords, shields and spears began to work on the previous perpetrators, the perpetrators immediately began to wail loudly, cry in agony, and kneel down to pray for different reasons.
The military academy in the formation looked back at Huang Zhong. Seeing that Huang Zhong showed no expression and his face was expressionless, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, stabbing to death a Ling Yuan Gou who was kneeling in front of him, wailing and begging for mercy.
This zero-yuan purchaser's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ending.
Didn't he just rob something? Why did he lose his life?
The other zero-yuan purchases around the dead person suddenly burst into loud shouts, as if the knife had not only struck the dead person, but also struck them.
Subconsciously, these people began to follow the direction that Huang Zhong's soldiers deliberately gave way, and tried to escape along the long street. However, they soon discovered that the surrounding intersections and alleys were either blocked, or were shot directly by soldiers with long guns.
After stabbing him back, the wailing sound rose up along with the smell of blood, resounding through South Street in Wancheng, and then headed along South Street towards the South Gate...
……(〃＞ dishes＜)……
Cao Zhen led a large group of cavalry and approached the south gate of Wancheng.
The fireworks in the city seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the color of the burning flames also reflected the Wancheng Gate as if it was stained with a layer of blood.
Near the doorway, a lot of corpses were lying in various directions, and a little blood gathered under the corpses to form a small puddle.
There was still a commotion in the city, and it was getting louder and louder.
Cao Zhen still felt something was wrong in his heart, but he looked up at the Wancheng wall. The flags were crooked, and although the figures were shaking, no soldiers showed up, and no archers shot an arrow at him...
Even though he didn't encounter any danger along the way, the closer Cao Zhen got to the gate of Wancheng, the more uneasy he felt, as if the entrance of the cave was not filled with light of meritorious deeds, but the mouth of an evil ghost.
At this moment, the firelight and figures were shaking in the south gate, and it seemed that many people were coming towards the city gate, as if a group of soldiers were coming to block the city gate!
"You lead the team! Seize the city gate first!" Cao Zhen grabbed the military academy beside him and ordered, "Break the road! Seize the city gate!"
Cao Jun's military academy nodded excitedly, shouted loudly, and then led the vanguard into Wancheng.
For some reason, Cao Zhen suddenly felt that his heartbeat was not beating so fast...
However, Cao Jun's military academy didn't think so much. He just rushed towards the center of Wancheng regardless of it. As soon as he rushed out of the gate of Wancheng, he bumped into many people who looked like ordinary people in Wancheng. But Cao Jun's cavalry didn't care.
Regardless, they just ran forward with all their strength. Regardless of whether these civilians were armed or not, they were all cut down or knocked down without mercy. They refused to stay for a moment longer. The military academy who rushed to the front even shouted anxiously.
, I just kept urging my subordinates to go faster, even faster!
However, how can we avoid these zero-dollar purchases for a while?
After repeated collisions, the speed of Cao Jun's cavalry slowed down unconsciously. The horses had been galloping for a long time, and Cao Jun had no time to blindfold the horses, so the horses instinctively slowed down.
As soon as Cao Jun's cavalry slowed down, a jam immediately formed on Wancheng South Street.
The soldiers of Cao's army shouted vigorously in the crowd, driving and killing the zero-yuan purchases around them. However, how could these soldiers of Cao's army suddenly sprout three heads and six arms to kill all the terrified zero-yuan purchases?
Exhausted?
Cao Zhen was outside Wancheng and was shocked when he saw that the soldiers inside the city gate suddenly slowed down!
This shouldn't be the case!
Cao Zhen suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at the corpses near the city gate, and found that those corpses were indeed corpses, but there was not much blood!
Even though the light is gradually dimming, under the shining firelight in the city, you can clearly see that there is no blood splatter around the corpse caused by the killing!
At this moment, Cao Zhen realized what he had forgotten!
He had forgotten that he originally had scout teams around Wancheng, but now those scout teams have disappeared! Cao Zhen heard a buzz in his head, and quickly turned around to look around. He saw no one around Wancheng except the ones he carried
Apart from these men and horses, no other men and horses appeared!
Those scouts were supposed to be here!
At least he should come and join him after seeing him arrive in Wancheng!
And now...
Cao Zhen grabbed his horse and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat!"
After all, war horses are not humans and can turn in at any time. When there is a crowd on a long street or at the city gate, it is undoubtedly very difficult to move and turn around quickly.
As Cao Zhen discovered something was wrong and wanted to evacuate, an order came from the city gate. Suddenly, many defenders with bows climbed up on both sides of the battlements, and without saying a word, they headed towards the city.
snapshot!
Huang Zhong from Wancheng was good at bows and arrows. Naturally, these Huang Zhong's soldiers were also good at archery. With their heads covering their faces, arrows fell all over the sky like rain, piercing deeply into the bodies of the soldiers and horses around Cao Zhen!
Huang Zhong's strategy is simple but effective.
Just like those who buy for zero yuan, not everyone can be clear-headed when faced with temptation. If they are not paying attention, they will fall into a fatal abyss.
If Cao Zhen had been a little more cautious and checked the surroundings before marching, or if he saw the Wancheng gate open, he still contacted the scout teams that were supposed to be near the gate before making the next decision...
…
Blood splattered near the city gate, and screams shook the sky!
Even if Cao Cao's cavalry is wearing armor, they may not be completely immune to arrows fired at such a close range. In addition, in order to speed up, Cao's cavalry cannot choose to wear heavy armor and drive long distances. Therefore, when facing the rain of arrows,
Immediately there were heavy casualties!
"General, be careful!"
Cao Zhen's guards were loyal and kept their shields and bodies almost close to Cao Zhen. They tried their best to cover Cao Zhen one after another, completely ignoring that they were exposed to the stray arrows.
The desperate actions of these guards made the archers on the top of Wancheng City even more excited. They all turned around and fired furiously in the direction of Cao Zhen!
Don’t ask, this must be a big fish!
The guards used their lives to protect Cao Zhen's men, but they could not protect Cao Zhen's horses!
The arrows flew away, and soon hit the butt and body of Cao Zhen's war horse. It suddenly let out a cry, and instinctively rushed away from the threat without hesitation. It could be regarded as trying to squeeze out a way out, but it soon fell due to force.
Exhausted and fell to the ground!
"The general has fallen!"
Cao's army was in chaos, and several guards hurriedly stepped forward like human shields. They yelled and blocked the arrows before they missed him, and then they just grabbed Cao Zhen and fled in a hurry while protecting him.
Huang Zhong and his men in the city chopped down the Cao soldiers who rushed into Wancheng like a melon and a bamboo. However, due to the obstruction of the corpses and the struggle and collision of the horses before their death, Huang Zhong climbed to the city gate.
When he went upstairs, Cao Zhen had already escaped under the protection of his guards.
"Han Sheng still kept his hand..." Pang Shanmin didn't know when he arrived at the city gate, watching Cao's army retreat with most of the casualties, "The people of Wancheng may not understand Han Sheng's compassionate heart..."
"Huh..." Huang Zhong let out a long sigh, "If Wancheng is really destroyed... I won't be able to bear it..."
Pang Shanmin was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine. Teach Cao Jun a lesson, but...Cao Jun will definitely not be able to give up..."
Cao Jun's memory is not very good. He remembers eating but not beating. It's not like he hasn't tried and offended before, but he can't remember it, or he thinks that it was before and he can take revenge now. However, he was still beaten with bruises and swollen face, and howled miserably.
Continuously.
Huang Zhong patted the battlements, "In this world, Wancheng is not the most important place. This battle or defeat cannot be decided by Wancheng alone. If Cao's army is so stupid, it deserves to be defeated."
Pang Shanmin laughed and said, "What Han Sheng said is true! In this case, I went back to the government office to deal with the affairs of the city. Cao's army has wounded soldiers and prisoners around here. General Han Sheng might as well gather some of them and send people to Xiangyang to see if they want them."
redemption……"
Huang Zhong also laughed, "If you don't want to redeem it at a high price, then let's destroy their morale again!"
Pang Shanmin smiled and nodded, then turned and went down to the city.
Huang Zhong ordered his subordinates to deal with relevant matters, while he stood on the city wall, looking at the faint sunset on the horizon and the darkness that was about to envelop, and sighed deeply, "The long night is coming..."
