The originally closed city gate of Bin City unexpectedly opened, and then a large group of Wang Lang's troops swarmed out from the city gate.
However, looking at their appearance, they did not look like they had taken the initiative to go out of the city to seek a fight. They looked more like they had been beaten out of the city. Each of them had their armor crooked and was in a miserable state. Many of their faces were stained with blood.
Looking towards the top of the city, there was also chaos on top of the city. The defenders were fighting with an unknown group of people.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Xiu. Wang Ba swallowed his saliva and murmured: "What's going on? Is this Wang Langjun trying to trick us?"
Liu Xiu made a quick decision and said: "Whether it is the enemy's plan or not, since the city gate has been opened, there is no reason why we should not attack in!"
In order to capture Wei City, even if there was an enemy trap inside, Liu Xiu was willing to jump in and give it a try.
Liu Xiu waved his Red Sky Sword forward and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me into the city to kill the enemy!" As he spoke, he took the lead and ran forward. The surrounding soldiers shouted in unison and followed Liu Xiu.
Charge forward and kill.
Many soldiers of Wang Lang's army who were leaving the city in a hurry ran towards Liu Xiu. The two sides walked in the opposite direction and soon came into contact. One of the soldiers who was the first to meet Liu Xiu didn't say a word and held a spear.
prick.
Liu Xiu turned sideways to let go of the opponent's edge, and flashed past the opponent's side. The Red Sky Sword also slashed open the opponent's lower abdomen. Just as he passed the soldier, several more people ran in front, one of whom was holding a sword and pointed it at Liu Xiu.
Xiu's head was violently struck.
He raised his sword to parry, and the two swords collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Before the opponent could put away his sword, Liu Xiu stepped forward and punched the opposite door. The latter covered his face and staggered.
And retreat.
There was a spear thrust at his side. Liu Xiu leaned down to pass the edge. He hugged the sword soldier's legs and pushed upward. The opponent turned over on top of Liu Xiu's head and hit Liu Xiu hard.
Show behind.
Without even looking back, Liu Xiu jumped up from the ground like a spring, and slammed into a soldier with his sword, and the sword tip pierced the other soldier's chest.
During the chaotic battle, Liu Xiu kept charging forward. Some soldiers of Wang Lang's army died under his sword, and some soldiers were knocked down by Liu Xiu. Where he passed, corpses and injured were lying on the ground.
A long column.
Just as Liu Xiu was leading his soldiers to charge forward, a large group of people ran out from the city.
These people did not wear military uniforms or armor. They were all dressed as ordinary people. One of them held up a bloody severed head and shouted loudly: "Zhang Ji is dead. His head is here. Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed."
No mercy!"
This man's voice, coupled with the severed head held high in his hand, made Wang Lang's soldiers on the battlefield wilt like deflated rubber balls. Many soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt down.
He gave up resistance.
The soldiers who were still holding weapons also had panic expressions on their faces and confused eyes, not knowing what to do.
As a large number of people armed with sharp swords poured out of the city, Wang Langjun had to face these people on the one hand, and Liu Xiujun on the other, facing enemies from both sides.
Seeing that they had no chance to escape, the soldiers who refused to surrender also laid down their weapons one after another.
The man holding Zhang Ji's severed head walked quickly through the crowd of Wang Lang's soldiers and came to the Zhongshan County Army. He looked around and asked, "Excuse me, where is the Grand Sima?"
Liu Xiu walked out of the crowd while wiping the blood on the Chixiao Sword.
He first looked at this person. He was in his thirties, short and thin, but very energetic and had a pair of small, bright eyes.
Seeing him, Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up and asked: "But Brother Boshan?"
The skinny man looked for fame and went out. When he saw Liu Xiu, he was shocked. Without saying a word, he put down Zhang Ji's head, knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said respectfully: "Little man Geng Chun, pay your respects to Da Sima!"
"
This man's name was Geng Chun, and he came from the Geng family, a prominent family in Julu County. Liu Xiu and Geng Chun had met before. Liu Xiu had lived in Handan for a long time. During this period, many famous officials from Jizhou came to visit. Geng
Pure is one of them.
At that time, Geng Chun saw that Liu Xiu was an extraordinary warrior, a courteous corporal, and his followers also knew etiquette and abided by the law. At that time, Geng Chun had the intention to join Liu Xiu. However, later Liu Xiu went north to recruit the counties, and they separated.
.
Later, Wang Lang proclaimed himself emperor in Handan and offered a bounty of 100,000 households on Liu Xiu's head. Geng Chun was indignant about this and discussed with his brothers Geng Xi, Geng Su, Geng Zhi and others, and decided to surrender the entire clan.
Liu Xiu.
The Geng family was a prominent family in Julu County, and it was the surname of Julu County. Geng Chun and his family defected to Liu Xiu together, including his relatives, retainers and servants, totaling more than 2,000 people.
In order to show his determination, Geng Chun left home with a coffin to find Liu Xiu. However, with so many people in the Geng family, more than 2,000 people, not everyone may have Geng Chun's determination.
Worried that on the way to join Liu Xiu, his clan members would have second thoughts and cause serious trouble, Geng Chun also specially arranged for his two brothers, Geng Su and Geng Zhi, to secretly return to their hometown and burn down his own house and that of his clan members.
, cut off the retreat.
In this way, more than 2,000 members of the Geng family went all the way north to Yincheng. When they arrived at Yincheng, Geng Chun originally planned to rest here for two days before setting off on the road to Zhongshan County to join Liu Xiu.
But unexpectedly, before they could set out, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the city. It was said that a group of farmers were holding Liu Xuan's banner outside the city and shouting anti-Lang slogans.
Geng Chun was very excited when he heard about this. He took his entire tribe and wanted to go out to see the city. If possible, he wanted to win over these farmers to his side, and then take them with him to Zhongshan County.
However, when Geng Chun and others were about to leave the city, Zhang Ji arrived first with a large group of troops, drove away the nearby people who were watching, and led a large number of soldiers to fight out of the city. Seeing this scene, Geng Chun was very anxious, so he planned to fight with
Officers and soldiers took action.
Geng , Geng Su, Geng Zhi and other brothers stopped him. There were too many soldiers in the city now. Once they were handed over, not only would they not be able to take advantage, but the whole clan would have to be held accountable in Wei City.
Under the dissuasion of everyone, Geng Chun suppressed the impulse in his heart and waited to see what would happen. As a result, Zhang Ji led more than 2,000 soldiers to fight out of the city, but when he came back, only a few hundred people were left, and all of them had lost their helmets.
Abandoning armor is like a lost dog.
The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape back to Guicheng kept shouting: "It's the Zhongshan Army! It was Liu Xiu who led the Zhongshan Army to Guicheng! We have just been ambushed by the enemy!"
Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Geng Chun and others were overjoyed. It was really hard to find a place without any effort. They were planning to go to Zhongshan County to look for Liu Xiu, but now, Liu Xiu has arrived as well.
Jincheng.
Geng Chun and his brothers looked at each other. If they don't take action now, how long will they wait?
More than 2,000 Geng family members, headed by Geng Chun, served Liu Xiu in the city and launched a sneak attack on the soldiers defending the city. The soldiers defending the city focused their attention on the outside of the city. Who could have thought of their own
Enemies will suddenly appear from behind.
Zhang Ji and other Wang Lang's troops were caught off guard by the Geng family who suddenly attacked. The worst sufferer was Zhang Ji. He was sitting under the city wall panting and resting when he was stabbed by Geng Chun who came straight towards him.
Back, people can't do it on the spot.
The soldiers of Wang Lang's army were so dizzy after being killed that they had nowhere to run or escape. In the end, they had no choice but to open the city gate and flee outside the city.
For Wang Langjun, this was like leaving the dragon pool and entering the tiger's den. Waiting for them outside the city was none other than Liu Xiujun.
Under siege from both sides by Liu Xiujun and the Geng family, more than 2,000 Wang Lang's troops suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the rest all surrendered.
This is what happened. After listening to Geng Chun's story, Liu Xiu couldn't help but hold Geng Chun's hand tightly and said movingly: "Brother Boshan made such a sacrifice to help Yu Xiu, which really makes Xiu
I feel uneasy!"
In order to seek refuge with him, Geng Chun did not hesitate to burn down his ancestral home. How determined and courageous was this?
Geng Chun shook his head repeatedly and said with choked sobs: "As long as I can surrender to Duke Ming, let alone my ancestral home, I will not hesitate even if my body is shattered to pieces!"
Liu Xiu chose to attack Yincheng secretly, but unfortunately, Yuncheng turned out to be the Liangcaotun base of Yan Feng's Ministry, where more than 4,000 Wang Lang's troops were stationed.
Originally there was no chance of winning this battle, so Liu Xiu came up with the idea of disguising himself as a villager and cursing Wang Lang, in order to lure the snake out of its hole and annihilate the enemy outside the city.
The defenders in the city were just as Liu Xiu expected. Although they did not come out in full force, more than two thousand people came out. However, Wang Lang's army was more cunning than Liu Xiu imagined, and they did not fall completely into the trap. He realized that it was not good, and
Zhang Ji then ordered the troops to withdraw.
In desperation, Liu Xiubu had no choice but to rush into battle. Although he killed nearly two thousand enemy troops, Zhang Ji managed to escape and ran back to Weicheng.
At this point in the battle, it looked like there was no chance of winning again, but things took a turn for the worse, and Geng Chun's troops suddenly came out of the city, and they cooperated with Liu Xiujun inside and outside, and captured Wei City in one fell swoop.
This is really not as good as fate. Zhang Ji was comfortably working as his grain officer in Yincheng. He never dreamed that disaster would fall from the sky, and Yincheng would attract Liu Xiu and Geng Chun.
Two killer stars.
Liu Xiu's troops captured Wei City, which not only reduced the strength of Wang Lang's army, but the most critical point was that all the grain and grass of Yan Feng's tribe fell into Liu Xiu's hands. Next, the 30,000 soldiers of Yan Feng's tribe will face the problem of grain and grass.
The dilemma of being cut off.
While Liu Xiu's troops occupied Weicheng, the Yuyang Army led by Wu Ziyan of the Wu Han Dynasty captured Anxiang, and the Shanggu Army led by Geng Yan and Geng Bozhao captured Anding.
Now, the three cities of Jincheng, Anxiang, and Anding have been controlled by Liu Xiujun, and the encirclement of Linping, where Yan Feng's troops are located, has been completed.
Liu Xiujun's attack was fierce, and the successive losses of Anxiang and Anding had chilled Yan Feng's heart. The biggest blow to him was the fall of Jincheng. This not only cut off his food route, but also cut off his retreat.
Yan Feng was panic-stricken. How could he continue to stay in Linping and wait for death? He summoned his soldiers and quickly went south, preparing to use superior forces to storm Wei City and open up his own retreat.
Jincheng.
Liu Xiu led his soldiers into the city and went to the county government immediately.
As soon as he reached the gate of the county government, the county magistrate Hu Sheng ran out in a hurry. Before he could reach Liu Xiu, he knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said tremblingly: "Hu Sheng, the magistrate of Xianguan County."
Sheng, meet Da Sima!"
After hearing his words, everyone present almost laughed in anger. When the city was occupied by Wang Lang's army, he, the county magistrate, was Wang Lang's official. Now that the city was occupied by our own side, he, the county magistrate, immediately became Liu Xuan.
official.
This Hu Sheng, it’s really the wind that blows the most!
In fact, not only Hu Sheng is like this now, but also many county and county officials in Jizhou are like this. The king's flag changes at the top of the city. The emperor above is changing. What can they, the local officials, do?
Of course, whoever is stronger will depend on him.
