The city of Yangzhai has become chaotic. The mist and rain are constantly falling from the black night sky, but they cannot wash away the blood on the ground in time.
The bloody storm and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the world. Several alleys in Yangzhai City were filled with rivers of blood and piles of corpses. People were hiding in their homes and did not dare to go out for fear of harming Chiyu.
At the south gate, Li Yulin rushed at the front. Zhang Liao's words deeply stimulated him. He held a steel knife and wore a battle armor, and bravely rushed into the enemy's camp. He slashed and slashed, killing the enemy in fear.
I was still thinking in my heart: "I must not be underestimated by others. I want to show General Zhang that I, Li Yulin, am not just someone who can tame animals!"
Bai Yu was not to be outdone, but he did not charge into the battle. Instead, he followed behind with a repeating crossbow, shooting the enemies in front with crossbow arrows. He was best at injuring people with hidden arrows. Whenever an enemy came close to him, the poisonous snakes buried in him would
It will crawl out from the collar and cuffs, open its bloody mouth and bite the enemy, so that the enemy will not dare to approach him again.
A man who was riddled with poisonous snakes even made the soldiers of the Yan army get goosebumps when they saw him. They did not dare to get too close to Bai Yu, but kept a certain distance.
Liu Xun and Qiao Rui of the Wei army could not withstand Li Yulin's fierce attack. This does not mean that the force is inferior to others, but that the general trend is that the soldiers in front blocked their way forward. Because the alley was too narrow, the soldiers behind them ran away.
After passing through, there was no use for it. They could only retreat with the retreat of the soldiers in front, and they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.
At the same time, Zhang Liao led his army into the city, using cavalry to clear the way and infantry as supplements. They galloped through the alleys in the city. When they saw Wei soldiers, they rushed to kill them.
Zhang Liao detached his infantry to capture the arsenal, and led a small number of cavalry to support Li Yulin and Bai Yu. Although he encountered some Wei soldiers along the way, he rushed them away.
Not long after, Zhang Liao heard the cry of killing. He listened very carefully and saw Liu Xun and Qiao Rui retreating. A general of the Yan army fought extremely bravely and was now stained with blood. He saw
He glanced at the general's face and said with satisfaction: "It is better to challenge the general than to please him. Li Yulin has indeed lived up to my high expectations."
Zhang Liao saw Liu Xun and Qiao Rui trying to run away, so he galloped forward and rushed over with his sword raised. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, where can you escape?"
Liu Xun and Qiao Rui were shocked when they suddenly heard a shout from behind. They did not expect that Zhang Liao would break through Wengcheng so quickly. When they were about to escape, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao had already rushed over quickly.
The cold light flashed and the heads fell to the ground. Liu Xun and Qiao Rui saw with their own eyes that Zhang Liao slashed with cold light. He was also very ferocious on horseback. Seeing that the situation was over, he hurriedly dropped his weapons and shouted: "We are willing to surrender!"
"
Zhang Liao frowned, did not answer, and continued to rush towards Liu Xun and Qiao Rui, raising his knife to chop.
Liu Xun and Qiao Rui were shocked. Who knew that Zhang Liao would not allow them to surrender? They stood up in a hurry and ran away. However, Qiao Rui was a step too slow and cut him in half with a big sword.
Zhang Liao continued to chase Liu Xun and blocked Liu Xun in a corner. He snorted and shouted: "You have today too!"
Liu Xun looked confused and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "General Zhang, I have no grudges with you in the past and have no grudges recently. Why do you insist on driving me out? I am willing to surrender to the Yan army sincerely..."
Zhang Liao's mind came back to the crusade against Dong Zhuo five years ago. At that time, the princes fought for the jade seal. Originally, the Bingzhou soldiers and Yuan Shu were on a united front. However, due to a quarrel between the soldiers, Yuan Shu's army took action.
As a result, the soldiers on both sides refused to give in to each other, and eventually turned into a major fight, resulting in hundreds of soldiers on both sides being injured.
That night, those who took the lead in the fight included Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, Chen Lan and others. At that time, one of Zhang Liao's clan brothers was killed. Zhang Liao was sad for a long time and even vowed to fight for his clan.
Brother revenge, today, he
He had already killed Chen Lan and Qiao Rui. Faced with Liu Xun's begging for mercy, he didn't give him any time to think about it. He raised the knife and fell to the ground without even blinking. He chopped Liu Xun's head to the ground.
Then he rolled down next to the horse's hooves.
Although Zhang Liao did this to avenge his personal revenge, he and even Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, and Chen Lan were only forced by the situation and did not sincerely surrender, so killing them was to eliminate future troubles. His great revenge was avenged, and Liu Xun was killed.
, Qiao Rui's head was stuck on the blade, he raised it high, looked at the soldiers who were still fighting, and shouted loudly: "Stop it! Liu Xun, Qiao Rui have been killed by me, you all
If you don’t surrender, how long will it take?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Wei army who were attacked from both sides dropped their weapons one after another and expressed their willingness to surrender.
Zhang Liao left Bai Yu to guard the surrendered soldiers, called Li Yulin to his side, and said to him: "You quickly take people to the arsenal, and I will take people to the granary. Remember, if there are people who surrender, you must not kill them without permission."
Li Yulin nodded and said, "General, don't worry!"
Suddenly, the army split into two, Zhang Liao galloped on his horse and led the horse infantry towards the granary.
Near the granary in the city, Zang Hong's troops were extremely tightly guarded. They used grain as a bunker and blocked most of the intersections of the alleys. Anyone who came close would be shot dead. The Yan army soldiers tried to rush through several times, but all ended in failure.
After a while, Zhang Liao arrived here with his horse infantry. Seeing that Zang Hong had managed to block the road, and hearing from the soldiers that Zang Hong was well guarded and unable to rush past, he nodded, dismounted, and walked straight ahead.
Zhang Liao walked to the entrance of the alley, clasped his fists towards the other end of the alley and said: "Zhang Liao, I have heard the name of General Zang for a long time. Now that the Wei Kingdom is in danger, Cao Cao fled in a hurry and will be caught by our army. General Zang is a righteous man and has great reputation."
General, it is better to give up resistance and surrender to our army. The Marquis of Yan will definitely use General Zang."
"A loyal minister cannot serve two masters, and it is difficult for a daughter to serve two husbands. I, Zang Hong, have violated my original oath and surrendered to the King of Wei. Over and over again, but not again. I, Zang Hong, must never surrender to others again, otherwise I, Zang Hong
Hong will become a slave with three surnames
, it is difficult to stand between heaven and earth, and it will inevitably be reviled by the world. General Zhang, I appreciate your kindness. My head is here, and behind me is the granary. If General Zhang has the ability, just lead the army to charge over!" Zang
Hong replied.
Zhang Liao heard that Zang Hong was unwilling to surrender and that he was guarding the place extremely tightly. When he saw the corpses of Yan soldiers lying in the alley, he thought for a while and continued to shout: "I heard that General Zang is a loyal man. Since
In this way, I will no longer force you. However, now that the Wei army is gone, even the King of Wei, Cao Cao, has also disappeared.
I don’t know, I’m afraid you are no longer in this world. General Zang, I guess you only have 500 people at most, but I am ten times your number, and I will destroy you sooner or later. Instead of wasting yourself like this, it’s better to let you die sooner.
When my subordinates surrender, I will definitely treat them well. If you want to die, you can just die on your own, why bother dragging them to be buried with you?"
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Zang Hong suddenly felt that they made sense. He looked back at the more than 400 soldiers, his eyes filled with the desire to survive, and he sighed heavily and said: "What General Zhang said
Extremely, I, Zang Hong, am already a sinner. How can I drag so many people to be buried with me before I die? However, I ask General Zhang to promise me that I will not break my promise just now."
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase, but I, Zhang Liao, stand upright with heaven and earth. What I say will be irreversible, and I will never break my promise." Zhang Liao swore pointing to the sky.
After getting Zhang Liao's reply, Zang Hong said to the soldiers around him: "You are all still young and have a long way to go. I, Zang Hong, am just a sinner and not worthy of your sacrifice for me. Zhang Liao is a good general.
If you can surrender to him, you will definitely receive generous treatment, so hurry up and surrender."
"General..." Unexpectedly, more than 400 people knelt on the ground together, kowtowed to Zang Hong and said sadly, "If the general doesn't leave, we won't leave either. We will follow the general to the death!"
Zang Hong said: "Nonsense, you still have a long way to go. You still have wives and children. How can you die so easily? You should leave as soon as possible. If you don't want to be a soldier anymore, you can stop being a soldier and go home to farm."
A stable life is also a different kind of life."
"General..." Everyone was filled with tears.
"Quickly leave!" Zang Hong stuck his sword on the ground and said angrily.
More than 400 people put down their weapons and slowly walked out of the alley. In the end, there were 99 people left standing with Zang Hong. No matter how Zang Hong tried to persuade him, they were unwilling to leave Zang Hong.
"General, please don't drive us away again. We no longer have a home, let alone cares. We are willing to follow the general to the death!" After saying that, the ninety-nine people picked up their weapons at the same time and put them on their necks.
Go up, and at the same time shouted to Zang Hong, "General, we are one step ahead..."
After saying this, ninety-nine people committed suicide collectively. The scene shocked Zhang Liao and the Yan army soldiers.
Then, Zang Hong drew his sword and put it on his neck, looking up to the sky and roaring, followed by a long burst of hearty laughter. After the laughter, Zang Hong shouted loudly: "My lord Zhang Chao, my subordinates are just living alone."
Nian, today I can finally drop everything and come to you..."
After saying this, Zang Hong committed suicide.
After Zhang Liao looked at it, he sighed heavily and said, "Zang Hong is truly a righteous man! Come and give all these 100 righteous men a good burial."
Half an hour later, Yangzhai City was completely occupied by the Yan army, killing more than 2,000 soldiers. Yan Xiang and the other generals all surrendered. Zhang Liao ordered Zang Hong to be buried richly, and personally led people to clean up the battlefield in the city, clean the ground, and asked Yan Xiang to
To appease the people in the city.
In the early morning, Zhang Liao personally went to Zang Hong's grave to worship. After the worship, Zhang Liao had people send flying pigeons to pass the letter to Gao Fei, offering good news.
