Chapter 141: The sound hits the east and the west breaks the warehouse
The next evening.
Changge City.
There was fighting in Changge City only a few days ago.
There are still stains of blood on the walls, but unlike the dilapidated walls when we first came here, the current Changge City has not only thickened the walls, but the entire city has also become much larger.
The original old city can now only be regarded as the inner city.
Although the adobe of the outer city is simple, it can be used as the first barrier of defense.
It can also protect the inner city extremely well.
Between the inner city and the outer city, there are endless obstacles and traps...
Zhang Guang was not only good at attacking cities, he was also quite good at defending them.
But when he knew that the Changshe could not be attacked, he spent the rest of the time thinking about how to defend the city.
He was thinking about it and did what he had thought about.
but...
Today is obviously not the time to defend the city.
"General Zhang Guang, let's go."
Zhang Guang nodded lightly.
"Your Majesty went to attack Weicang, and I went to pretend to attack Changshe."
Zhang Hong nodded slightly, but said: "General, wait a minute, I have something that the commander wants me to give to you."
With that said, Zhang Hong waved his hand, and two soldiers came up immediately carrying a large box.
"This thing is the divine thunder invented by the commander. It is as powerful as thunder. Although the general is going to pretend to attack Changshe, this formation must be sufficient."
Zhang Hong briefly introduced the function of this divine thunder. After Zhang Guang listened, he started gearing up.
"Is this divine thunder really so powerful?"
"Of course, I will leave ten people specifically responsible for using this divine thunder. The divine thunder is precious and powerful, so it cannot be displayed in the city."
Zhang Guang nodded slightly.
"I'm very curious about the coach's divine thunder."
"When you get to Changsha, you will understand."
There are thirty thousand people in Changge City.
Three thousand people were left to defend the city, and another 27,000 people were left. Seven thousand people went to pretend to attack Changshe, and 20,000 people rushed to attack Weicang.
Five miles away from Changshe, Zhang Hong's 20,000 people were waiting at the same place.
Only after a fight broke out at Changshe, Zhang Hong could lead his men to take advantage of the chaos and attack.
Moreover, when Zhang Guang and the others were fighting, it was almost dark that day. Marching at night would provide better privacy.
Zhang Guang and his soldiers were about to attack the city, but after thinking for a moment, he stopped.
"I'm in Changshe. It's just a feint attack. If the coach's divine thunder is all here with me, wouldn't it be that I am overqualified? You attack Weicang, and you just use this divine thunder to break the gate of Weicang."
Zhang Hong laughed, shook his head and said: "You have a box of divine thunder, and I also have a box, which is enough. However, the general is pretending to attack Changshe, but he should stop it when he sees good. Changshe now has King Qi's army. If he is trapped in it,
All you have to do is wait for me to return to the army to support you."
"Don't worry."
Zhang Guang smiled softly and said: "I can still do feints. When it comes to attacking a city, with 7,000 men, I can't attack any city. I just camp outside the Changshe and wait for the people inside to come out."
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy attacks, we flee.
If it was just a feint, Zhang Guang would not choose to go head-on.
The soldiers under his command are very valuable.
"In that case, I wish the general success."
"The same is true for Your Excellency."
Since he is a member of the military, he naturally does not have the coquettishness of a woman.
Zhang Guang immediately took 7,000 people to Changshe.
After half an hour, Zhang Hong only heard the loud sound of drums in the distance, and Zhang Hong knew that now was the time to attack.
There were a large number of 20,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry. Naturally, they took advantage of the current chaos to gallop in the direction of Meicang.
This cavalry is the main force in the assault on Weicang. The remaining 15,000 are to support them on the road. If Weicang cannot be captured for a long time, these 15,000 can hold off the reinforcements from Changshe and prepare for a sneak attack on Weicang.
The cavalry buys time.
Everything is so orderly.
.......
At this time, Weicang did not realize that he was the center of this battle. Instead, all the generals in Changshe City became panicked.
The person guarding Changshe is Sima Hui, the king of Fanyang.
The feud between King Sima Hui of Fan Yang and King Qi was no longer a temporary matter.
Especially after the emperor's intention to reduce the vassal vassal gradually emerged, he immediately found a way out for himself.
Now that King Qi is gaining momentum, it is also his best time.
Therefore, he transferred 5,000 people from the fief to Changshe and took charge of Changshe's current army of 100,000 people.
"Report!"
The Changshecheng County Government Office Hall is now used as the main tent of the Chinese army of Fanyang King Sima Gai.
"Ahead is the thief general Zhang Guang coming to attack the city."
Zhang Guang.
You don't care about defending your own Changge City, but you dare to attack Changshe?
There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Changshe City now!
It’s true that if you don’t take the road to heaven, there will be no door to hell to break in.
"Have you seen Marquis Guangyuan?"
"Look at the flag, it's just Zhang Guang's headquarters."
"Do you know how many people Zhang Guang brought here?"
"There are continuous flames under the city. I'm afraid there are 30,000 to 40,000 people."
There may not be 30,000 or 40,000 people, but Zhang Guang prepared 30,000 to 40,000 torches.
What is important is momentum.
Thirty or four thousand people?
"very good."
Sima Hui sneered.
"The men brought by Marquis Guangyuan are only 70,000. Now 30,000 to 40,000 are already in Changshe City. If these 30,000 to 40,000 are defeated, then the so-called Southern Expeditionary Army will be severely weakened, and they will be attacked again.
Changshe, that’s already a pipe dream.”
"No!"
Sima Hui shook his head.
"If the 30,000 to 40,000 people under Changshe City are defeated, then the offensive and defensive momentum will be easy. With the momentum of a great victory, our army will definitely be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue it, take back Changge, capture Xinzheng, and even advance as far as Xingyang."
And if Xingyang is also captured, then Luoyang will be like a beauty without clothes, and there will be no barrier at all for fierce men like them.
At that time, the order of the world will also be changed.
certainly...
The idea is good.
But the key is how to swallow the thirty to forty thousand people in Changshe City.
"Maoshuang."
"The end will be here."
"You take ten thousand people and go out of the city to fight."
"promise."
"Zhao Si."
"I'm here."
Fan Yang Wang Sima Hui glanced at the person who answered. Although he was hiding it, everyone present could see his contempt.
This Zhao Si is just a pariah.
Taking advantage of the chaos, he didn't expect that King Zhao actually gave him the title of general.
The pheasant flew onto the branch and immediately turned into a phoenix!
"You take your people and attack from the east and west gates to surround Zhang Guang's bandit army. Don't let them escape."
"yes."
After being ordered to go down, Maoshuang and Zhao Si also went down.
Next, it’s time to look at the results.
The 10,000 people led by Mao Shuang were all elites, while the 30,000 people led by Zhao Si were not elites, but just rioters. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were not even as good as new recruits.
However, those who pester Zhang Guang should still be able to do it.
Of course, he sent more than these 40,000 people.
In the distance, the soldiers who originally went to the Buqiao Formation to swallow up Changge City formed an encirclement with Changshe as the center, and were bound to keep these thirty or forty thousand people.
Maoshuang rushed out first with 10,000 elite soldiers.
Zhang Guang watched and quickly ordered the soldiers next to him who were playing with the divine thunder.
"Hurry up."
"promise."
The torch lit the fuse of the divine thunder, the catapult was ready, and the divine thunder was immediately thrown to the city gate.
Shhhhhhh~
Lead burning.
Mao Shuangyuan thought the rocks thrown at him were some kind of rocks, but he didn't expect it to be just such a thing.
Although there were some casualties among the soldiers, they were only isolated.
"General Zhang Guang, come out quickly and die!"
But as soon as he finished shouting these words, it was dawn.
It's night now, and the sun can't come out right away. The reason why it's dawn is because those divine thunders turned into small suns and exploded.
Boom boom boom~
That scene was truly like divine punishment.
This divine thunder is already version 3.0 improved by Wang Sheng.
In terms of power, it is already very powerful. The most important thing is that there are a lot of iron filings in this divine thunder.
Once it explodes, even if you are not killed, you will be impaled to death by the exploding iron pieces.
For a time, the city gate was filled with howls.
The general Maoshuang who took the lead was killed on the spot.
The scene was a mess.
The scene of divine punishment made the soldiers at the back tremble, and every one of them wanted to retreat back.
At this time, Zhang Guang immediately recovered from the shock.
"Follow me, General!"
These soldiers are now without a master. Killing them is no different from killing a chicken.
In addition, they were leaving the city in sequence, so the people behind were going out, while the people outside had to shrink inward.
The result was that he was stuck at the gate of the city, unable to advance or retreat.
The two armies exchanged hands instantly.
But at this time, the soldiers at the city gate did not dare to shoot arrows.
When this arrow is shot down, the ones most injured may not be the enemy, but one of our own people.
The scene was very bloody for a time.
But Zhang Guang also knew that now was not the time to kill Hongyan.
Now that I have reaped the benefits, that's enough.
"Cut off your left ear and wait for the enemy troops from Changshe to come out."
That was true, but Zhang Guang ran away with his own people.
No one dared to chase him.
The power of the divine thunder also made the soldiers in the city tremble, thinking that they had committed the divine wrath, and they dared to chase them out.
The battle situation at the city gate soon reached the ears of King Fan Yang.
"Damn it!"
Bang~
Sima Hui just poured himself a glass of wine and was ready to listen to the good news ahead, but you told me it was bad news?
He threw down the wine bottle in his hand.
What kind of divine punishment?
Why did Maoshuang die immediately?
It didn't take long for the general to die in battle?
King Fan Yang's eyes flashed.
"It's dark now and it would be too reckless to attack. Come back when it gets light and inform the soldiers who are returning to the encirclement and ask them to stop first."
The ferocity of the enemy really exceeded Sima Hui's imagination.
However, he still has an advantage now, that is, there are many people.
Now that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, we must first understand the situation on the other side before attacking.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Sima Hui's Bingshu is not a waste of time.
But Sima Hui's move fell into Zhang Guang's plan.
If Changshe doesn't move, then Zhang Hong's side will be too easy to fight.
March quickly with fast horses.
Twenty miles away, we arrived in an hour and a half.
At this time, Zhang Hong could already hear the sound of rushing water.
And the tall Wei Cang in the distance is already in sight.
Rows of warehouses were already in sight, Zhang Hong was not polite and directly launched a charge.
Bang bang bang~
The sound of horse hooves trampled on the ground, making the whole land tremble.
At this hour, the lights in Weicang had already been extinguished.
After Weicang was at Changshe, the King of Qi did not expect that Wang Sheng and others would attack him, so he just stationed a thousand-man team in Weicang.
Not considered elite yet.
Those stationed in Weicang are basically elderly people. Weicang can be said to be the second line in King Qi's heart, and it is also the safest place. But now it seems that there is something wrong with this safest place.
The sound of horse hooves shook the sky and woke up the guarding soldiers.
When they reacted while half asleep, the cavalry was already a hundred meters away in front of them.
As for the cavalry sprint, the last distance is also the fastest.
The carrier has incomparable kinetic energy, which is why the cavalry is unstoppable when charging.
Either you die or I die.
All I could see was that the cavalry charging ahead were holding burning black balls in their hands. The light from the burning fuses became very obvious in the dark night.
throw!
Burning with fire, black balls like thunder descended from the sky and slammed hard on the tall and heavy door of Wei Cang.
Only a loud banging sound was heard.
Like thunder from the sky, the whole world began to shake.
The door was also broken by the impact.
A Meicang without a gate is like a hedgehog without its guard hairs, ready to be kneaded by others.
The cavalry immediately drove in, killing and slashing everyone they saw.
There was constant bloodshed along the way.
Those soldiers who had just stood up from their sleep were killed by a swarm of cavalry before they had even put on their armor.
Open a position, pour oil, and set fire.
One set of operations, everything goes smoothly.
Zhang Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said to the guard beside him: "Send the order to evacuate quickly after burning the food and grass."
Weicang is more than ten miles away from Yanling and only twenty miles away from Xuchang. When the defenders of Yanling in Xuchang really reacted and were held back with the five thousand cavalry in their hands, there was really no chance of survival.
.
Especially when the Wei Cang burned, it looked like a giant torch in the dark night. Even in Xuchang, which was twenty miles away, one could see the red patch to the west.
The cavalry, which came like a tide, also retreated like a tide.
On the other side, King Fan Yang of Changshe finally realized that something was wrong.
Especially after his soldiers reported that there were many torches stuck on the ground outside the city, King Fan Yang immediately knew that he had been deceived.
At this time, the scouts from Yanling Xuchang came to report on Pegasus and told the news that Weicang was attacked.
Upon hearing the news, King Fan Yang almost fainted out of breath.
"If you dare to go deep into Weicang, I think Zhang Guang doesn't want to live anymore. If someone comes, the bandit army will sneak attack on Weicang. They must still be on the border of Yingchuan. We can't let them escape."
"promise."
Immediately some soldiers took the order.
At this time, Zhang Hong did not arrive at Changshe.
However, it is obviously nonsense for Changshe's army to encircle and suppress Zhang Hong's cavalry.
Outside the Changshe, soldiers had already been ambushing them.
As soon as Changshe's army arrived, they were instantly ambushed and suffered heavy losses.
When Zhang Hong arrived at the battlefield, the blood on the ground dyed the entire earth red.
Of course, most of them were from the Changshe garrison.
Zhang Hong sat down on his horse and kicked the body beside his feet, looking left and right.
Today's battle situation is good, but it cannot be delayed any longer.
Delaying it will do them no good.
"retreat."
The infantry withdrew first, followed by the cavalry, and then the cavalry withdrew again.
Just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Zhang Hong, Zhang Guang and others all fled, leaving only corpses on the ground, silently indicting the cruelty of war.
