All the soldiers guarding the city gates and walls were gone, and Wang Lang's army outside rushed into Lunu City without any bloodshed.
Sun Cang and Wei Bao came to the general leading the army, bowed their hands and saluted, and said with smiles on their faces: "General Shen, there are less than a thousand defenders in the city. As long as we can capture Liu Jun first, we can do it without spending a single soldier."
Let’s conquer Lunu in one fell swoop!”
The general leading the army was named Shen Ping, who was Peng Ning's deputy general and one of Wang Lang's confidants.
He sat on the horse, smiled slightly, and said: "General Sun and General Wei are indispensable for our army to win this battle so easily. When I return to Handan in the future, I will report the achievements of these two generals to Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, General Shen!" Sun Cang and Wei Bao saluted again with beaming faces.
"Okay, you two lead the way, our troops will go and capture Liu Jun immediately!"
"Yes!" Sun Cang and Wei Bao agreed excitedly and led the way.
Speaking of which, the number of defenders in Lunu City is indeed small and the defense is weak. Now that the enemy has broken through the city, so many people have entered the city and rushed along the main street from the north gate to the center of the city.
However, there was such a big commotion and Shen Ping's troops advanced so far into the city that they did not encounter a single soldier from the defenders, and no one came to stop or resist.
Shen Ping shook his head secretly as he rode forward. Liu Xiu thought that he could stop his advance by leading his army to the safe south bank, but he should not have handed over such an important county as Lunu.
Guard this idiot Liu Jun.
Once Lu Nu was lost, Liu Xiu lost his foundation. What else could he use to resist his own army?
Thinking of this, Shen Ping raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. It seemed that Liu Xiu was just a person with a false reputation. The victory in the Kunyang battle was probably due to luck.
Just when he was secretly despising Liu Xiu for doing nothing more than this, he suddenly heard a crashing sound coming from the roofs on the left and right sides.
Shen Ping subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the roof, only to see several county soldiers standing up on the roof holding crossbows.
Before he could react, whistles sounded from the rooftops on both sides of the street, and then countless county soldiers stood up from the rooftops.
Some people were holding bows and arrows, and some were holding crossbows. They aimed at Wang Lang's army on the street and launched a volley.
Snap, snap, snap——
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
In just an instant, the sound of bowstrings firing and the sound of arrows flying in the wind became one. In an instant, arrows rained down from the roofs on both sides of the street.
Shen Ping had three thousand people under his command, and they were all crowded on the main street from the north city gate to the center of the city. When arrows fell into the crowd, none of them missed, and every arrow could nail people's bodies.
"There is an ambush! There is an ambush in the city -" Wang Langjun reacted, and the soldiers let out heart-rending roars.
Shen Ping was shocked. He waved his sword with all his strength to block the arrows flying from both sides, and shouted loudly: "Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Take shelter in the alleys and alleys on both sides of the street!"
No chance!
The soldiers of Wang Lang's army are not wooden, so they will not stand on the street and shoot the enemy's arrows.
People fled in all directions, running toward the alleys and alleys on both sides of the main street. They thought they could successfully avoid the enemy's arrows by hiding in the alleys and alleys, but they couldn't escape at all.
It turned out that there were a large number of county troops hiding in the alleys and alleys on both sides of the main street. The county troops at the front all held giant iron-wrapped shields in their hands, and they would kill Wang Lang's army who had fled into the alleys and alleys.
They were squeezed to death, and then they were all pushed out.
At this time, looking inside the street, there were archers from the county army on the roofs on both sides shooting arrows and crossbows. The alleys and alleys along the way were blocked by huge shields. This road was long and wide.
The main street has turned into a row of iron barrels.
Shen Ping couldn't sit still on the horse. It wasn't that he didn't want to ride, but the horse under his crotch was also shot by a stray arrow. He rolled off the horse and looked around. There was no defense anywhere in Lunu City. This was simply
A trap!
He roared angrily and shouted: "Retreat! The whole army withdraws from Lunu! The whole army withdraws from Lunu immediately!"
There is no way to evacuate! The north city gate where Wang Lang's army came in has been closed, and all the county troops are on top of the city. When the soldiers of Wang Lang's army ran back, arrows on the top of the city were like a gust of wind and rain.
Pour down.
The soldiers running in front were shot into hedgehogs on the spot under the dense array of arrows. Their bodies were covered with arrows and they fell to the ground row by row.
The soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to run forward, but they fell down as fast as they ran up. After the arrow formation, it was like a layer of black grass grew on the ground, covering the ground and burying the king.
The corpses of Lang's soldiers.
Inside the city gate tower, there were several people standing inside, looking out. One of them was Liu Jun, the prefect of Zhongshan. His face was pale and beads of sweat were flowing down his temples.
Even though the person facing the arrow formation was not himself but the enemy, Liu Jun still felt chills in his heart when he saw the miserable situation of Wang Lang's army.
The person standing next to Liu Jun was none other than Deng Yu and Deng Zhonghua. Seeing Liu Jun's nervousness, Deng Yu said meaningfully: "Prefect Liu, if we can't kill them all today, they will definitely kill us all in the future."
.Now that we are on the battlefield and facing each other, we can no longer be merciful to the enemy."
Liu Jun understood the truth, but this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a tragic scene. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous.
Sun Cang and Wei Bao thought their strategy was brilliant and sneaked into Lunu City to provide internal support for Wang Lang's army. However, what they did not expect was that Yao Qi's spies would be so powerful and were already all around Anxian.
As soon as they left Anxian, Yao Qi's spies sent the news back to Liu Xiu.
After grasping the movements of Sun Cang and Wei Bao, Liu Xiu's mind was able to deduce a rough idea of the opponent's strategy with only a brief thought.
To defeat Sun Cang and Wei Bao's plot, it was very simple. He only had to send one person back to Lunu, notify Liu Jun, and kill Sun Cang and Wei Bao.
However, defeating the enemy's plan can only be considered a bad strategy, but using the enemy's plan to counterattack and severely damage the enemy's army is the best strategy.
While Liu Xiu sent people to ride fast horses back to Lunu to report the news to Liu Jun, he also sent two generals, Deng Yu and Gai Yan, leading a thousand county troops to quietly retreat to Lunu, and the generals would make plans.
Tonight, Liu Jun was having a drink with Sun Cang and Wei Bao, allowing them to stay overnight in his house, creating opportunities for them to sneak into his study, steal seals and ribbons, and so on. All these were Liu Jun's.
Jun did this intentionally after receiving the tip-off from Liu Xiu.
Sun Cang and Wei Bao thought they had Liu Jun, a loser, in their hands, but in fact, their thoughts had been seen through by Liu Xiu, and they were the two of them who were played in Liu Xiu's hands.
The county army that ambushed Wang Lang's army in Lunu City this time was not large in strength. They included a thousand soldiers brought back by Deng Yu and Gai Yan, as well as hundreds of defenders in Lunu City. Added together,
There are less than two thousand people.
It's just that the county army appeared too suddenly and caught Wang Lang's army off guard. The army was in a state of confusion and panic, and people felt that the enemy troops were huge in number, as if they were all enemies on the roof, on the ground, and on the city walls.
Three thousand Wang Lang's troops led by Shen Ping were blocked in Lunu City. There was no way to the sky and no way to the earth. People could only rush towards the north city gate with all their lives, hoping to open the city gate and escape.
Born.
The number of Han troops here at the North City Gate is less than 500, but they all possess crossbows. Arrow arrays poured down from the top of the city one after another. The soldiers of Wang Lang's army who ran over were also a group.
Another batch was shot to the ground.
In just a few sticks of incense, the streets in front of the North City Gate were covered with the corpses of Wang Langjun. The corpses were spread on the ground, covered with arrows, and then covered with arrows.
Repeatedly, the corpses mixed with arrows piled up like a mountain, and the state was too horrible to look at.
Liu Jun in the city gate building felt dizzy and his stomach was churning. He really couldn't stand it anymore and felt that if he continued to watch it, he would have to vomit on the spot.
He took two steps back, knelt down on the mat in the city gate tower, and murmured, "Deng...General Deng, are you...going to kill all these people?"
Deng Yu looked at Liu Jun helplessly. He could sympathize with the latter's current mood. He had also gone through this stage in the past.
He said: "As long as the enemy army does not surrender, no one can be left. When the two armies are fighting, you will live and die. If you have good intentions towards the enemy, you will have evil intentions towards yourself."
Liu Jun lowered his head and calmed down for a while. He finally felt a little more comfortable. He stood up slowly and walked back to the window of the city gate tower again, looking down.
Outside, there seemed to be more enemy corpses. Liu Jun swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Stop fighting, surrender! If you surrender now, you can still survive! If we continue to fight, who will
You can’t even survive!”
Wang Lang's army didn't want to fight and wanted to surrender, but on such a chaotic battlefield, who would listen to them? Arrows were raining down from all directions. Even if they chose to lay down their weapons and surrender, they would still be shot like hedgehogs by the arrows.
Hearing someone shouting from the top of the city gate that they could surrender, many soldiers seemed to have grasped straws and threw away their weapons. They ran towards the city gate and shouted: "Surrender! We all surrender..."
…”
Before the people's shouts dissipated, arrows from the city top poured down on them. In an instant, these soldiers of Wang Lang's army who laid down their weapons were all hit by several arrows, and they fell in groups on their comrades.
among the corpses.
Liu Jun's eyes widened and he stared dumbfounded. After a while, he turned to look at Deng Yu. The latter shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile: "It's just the surrender of a small group of enemy troops. The soldiers can't even take it into consideration.
If you can't see clearly, you can only treat them as enemy soldiers who are stubbornly resisting and shoot them together."
"..." Liu Jun fell silent and stopped talking.
When Shen Ping ran to the North City Gate, he was hit by four or five arrows, but his vital parts were not injured. When he arrived at the North City Gate, he took a closer look and saw that this place had become a Shura field.
There was not one layer of corpses on the ground, but I couldn't tell how many layers there were. The corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the blood gathered into a river. Looking down, you couldn't see the ground at all. Everywhere you looked, there were either corpses or...
Blood and water.
Three thousand Wang Lang's troops who entered Lunu are still standing around Shen Ping, not even a thousand. This can't be called a battle, it is just a one-sided massacre.
Shen Ping's eyes were scarlet, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "Liu Xiu, you cowardless bastard, if you have the guts, come out and fight me!"
Following Shen Ping's voice, the surrounding arrows suddenly stopped. Shen Ping and his soldiers were stunned. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a large number of county troops forming a square formation.
Walked down from the top of the city.
At the same time, the county troops on the rooftops came down one after another, and the county troops in the alleys and alleys came out one after another, and lined up on the street. In front were the shield soldiers holding the formation, and behind were the spear soldiers and iron soldiers.
The two county army formations, one behind the other, advanced towards the defeated remnants of Wang Lang's army at the same time.
