The Yellow Turban thieves were all dumbfounded when they heard this. Such morale-boosting words were followed by the words: "Hang the white flag high and send people to ask for surrender!" For a moment, everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.
He stood there stunned, afraid that he had heard wrongly, or that Han Zhong had said something wrong by mistake.
One of the leaders had the courage to ask Han Zhong: "Qu Shuai! Do you really surrender?"
Han Zhong kicked the leader on the butt and shouted: "When have my words, Han Zhong, ever been false? If you don't go and ask for surrender, why don't you wait here to die? Do you want me to whip you before you give it to me?"
Move the place!" Han Zhong tried to make a move, but the frightened leader quickly threw out his tent and asked for surrender.
Zuo Aoran stood up proudly and stood in the Yellow Turban Army's stronghold. After listening to the report of Tan Ma Lanqi, he looked at the blazing fire burning in the two Yellow Turban strongholds in the distance. He could vaguely hear some shouts of killing. Cao Cao
Next to Zuo Aoran, he was explaining something to Zuo Aoran. Zuo Aoran's face looked very ugly.
Zuo Aoran was riding on the one-character ink-carved Lai Qilin, his left hand gently stroking the mane of the war horse, and his right hand tightly grasped the barrel of the gun. The veins on his arms were protruding, and a cold light was looming in his eyes. He had a thought in his heart: "
I, Zuo Aoran, actually let someone use me as a gunman!" Depressed, aggrieved, angry, unhappy, gloomy... all kinds of emotions came to my heart!
"Mozi's Seven Problems" says, "Food is the treasure of the country, soldiers are the claws of the country, and the city is self-defense. These three are the tools of the country." What does it mean? It means that food is the treasure of the country.
, weapons are the minions of the country, and the city walls are used for self-defense. These three are tools to maintain the existence and development of a country. In ancient times, the capitals of dynasties, the fiefdoms of princes, and the fiefs of officials and officials all had large and small walls.
The city is centered on the walled city, and these cities are usually called cities. The city can be said to be the foundation and foundation of a country. Without a city, there is no country. This is the truth.
Wancheng has a long history and a dangerous terrain. It controls Ruluo in the north, Jingxiang in the south, Guanzhong in the west, and Jianghuai in the east. It has always been a transportation hub and a battleground for military strategists! As early as the Yao and Shun period, it was the blessed land of the "Four Mountains".
It has always been one of the country's commercial centers from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was also the base area where Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, launched an army to wipe out Wang Mang and establish the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was known as the place of "Longxing", and was also known as "Southern Capital" and "Emperor".
Township"!
Most of the twenty-eight Yuntai generals and the three hundred and sixty-five meritorious officials who followed Liu Xiu to sweep Wang Mang and made great contributions to the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty were from Nanyang. It is said that Nanyang was once a place where royal relatives and nobles gathered!
As the head of Nanyang County, do you think Wancheng is important? The emperors of the past dynasties also paid special attention to this southern capital, so they repaired the city to be extremely tall and spectacular! It is divided into two layers: the outer city and the inner city. The perimeter of the city wall is 2,200 meters.
One hundred and twenty-one feet and seven feet, the city is two feet and five feet high, one foot and five feet wide at the top, and three feet wide at the bottom. There are battlements on the moon city, and enemy towers and police stations. There are four main gates, the east gate
It says: Yanxi, and there are four characters engraved on the stone tablet inlaid on the forehead of the city gate: Central Plains! The north gate says: Bowang, and there are also four words engraved on the stone tablet: Xinggong Shenjing! The west gate says: Yong'an, four words.
:Control Qinguan! The south gate said: Yang, the car will determine the guide!
Okay! It can be said that each gate is more important than the other. It is a barrier to the capital and the hinterland of the Central Plains. As long as there is a war, this place will definitely be a place for four battles! There is a trench dug outside the city gate, which is two feet deep and eight feet wide. Eight feet, the water from the south river of the city is diverted into Hao, and it is circled around the city to form a moat and a city. Since ancient times, if there is a city, there must be a pond. This Wancheng can be said to be connected in all directions, both land and water!
At this place of the Four Wars, the heart of Nanyang County, all emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty also sent elite soldiers and generals to garrison here. At the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he appointed Chu Gong, the top martial arts scholar at that time, "General Tiger Sword" to lead Wan. Luo's 10,000 elite soldiers were stationed here to guard the city. However, it was eventually captured by the Yellow Turban Army's Nanyang commander Zhang Mancheng, who led more than 300,000 Yellow Turban bandits. Prefect Chu Gong died in the battle, and all his soldiers died in the battle.
Without further ado, let’s get back to the main topic. Ever since Zuo Aoran was used as a gun by Zhu Jun last time, Zuo Aoran claimed that he was ill and gathered all the troops and horses in his headquarters and set up camp 30 miles outside the north gate of Wancheng. A camp.
After the last battle, Zuo Aoran counted 573 people killed, 12 seriously injured, and 3,851 lightly injured. He killed more than 37,500 Yellow Turban thieves and captured five There are more than 1,300 people. Zuo Aoran's troops suffered little damage, which can only be called superficial wounds. This battle can be said to be a complete victory. Zuo Aoran should have been happy, but he should have been used as a gun. The knot in his heart just couldn't be untied. Although Zhu Jun also apologized in person, Zuo Aoran always felt unhappy. Even the generals under his command had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces, but Zuo Aoran couldn't get angry. That's all.
Zhu Jun ordered Cao Cao and Sun Jian to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the west gate of Wancheng. Qin Jie led his own troops to guard the east gate. He led the rest of the troops to guard the south gate. Li Yan led 500 Jingzhou rebels to guard the north gate. (Just meaning. (For a moment, because there is Zuo Aoran's army outside the north gate, Zhu Jun is relieved)
Zhu Junqi no longer attacked the city but besieged it. There were at least 150,000 Yellow Turban thieves in Wancheng. Zhang Mancheng was not incompetent, otherwise he would not have been able to become the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army and strengthen the city. It is thick and the moat is extremely wide and deep, making it a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
At first, Zhang Mancheng did not dare to go out of the city to fight the enemy. He just defended the city and waited for General Tiangong to defeat the official army at Guangzong and then support them. But later Zhang Mancheng found that the official army only besieged but not attacked, and the food and grass in the city were decreasing day by day. The population was only 15! Just the city. The little food there was not enough to eat! So they sent troops to raid Zhu Jun's headquarters outside the south gate.
This was the result of Zhang Mancheng timidly going out of the city to fight. Originally, Zhang Mancheng was frightened by Zuo Aoran's troops and was even more afraid of Zuo Aoran's generals, so there were 150,000 troops in the city and he did not dare to go out to fight.
There was a shortage of food in the city. In desperation, Zhang Mancheng led his troops out of the city. He first attacked Qin Jie's troops who had fewer troops, but was defeated by Qin Jie's generals Huang Zhong, Cai Mao, and Wu Ju. Then he attacked the garrison outside the west gate. In the playground, Sun Jian and his two men, needless to say, were defeated by Sun Jian's four generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, and then they attacked the north gate where Li Yan was stationed. It can be imagined that Naturally, Li Yan couldn't stand the 500 men in his hands, but Li Yan was very smart. He and Zuo Aoran had a fierce fight, so Zuo Aoran naturally came to rescue the siege. In the end, Zhang Mancheng chose to go outside the south gate. Zhu Jun, but something unexpected happened to Zhang Mancheng. He actually succeeded. He looted more than thirty times in one day. Although the casualties were considerable, the benefits in return were also considerable. In the end, he had to ask Sun Jian Borrowing Zu Mao and Qin Jie to borrow Cai Mao, they were able to withstand Zhang Mancheng's crazy looting.
But there is a ninety-nine chance that God will not follow what people want. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty suddenly sent an imperial edict: "Zhu Jun is limited to conquer Wancheng within ten days, and send his army north to support Huangfu Song who defeated Guangping!" And he also brought some people.
Another news was that Zuo Aoran was specially named "General Dangkou". Now everyone was in an uproar again. Zuo Aoran was named a general at such a young age!
