Chapter 176 Split
Yang Zuo and Deng Zhong led 7,000 infantry to cross the road and headed straight to Huang County, knowing that the civilian ships along the coast could not be dragged for too long.
Once Tian Pengzu realized that the two thousand people in his hands were all cavalry, and they were several times faster than his infantry, and had no choice but to race against time.
The marching at night was like a gust of wind, which quickly alarmed the night. The scouts around saw such a huge scene and were so scared that they were scattered. Where did the thousands of soldiers of the Yan army come from? They could appear quietly near Huang County.
The scout fled quickly and fled. After reaching Huang County, he didn't have time to dismount. He reported to Han Sheng on the city: "Shi Han, it's not good! The Yan thief rushed towards us. Judging from the scale, there seemed to be tens of thousands of people!"
Han Sheng was shocked when he heard this: "What's going on? The fact that Yan's thief increased his troops was actually true? That young master Tian——"
An unknown premonition immediately arose in his heart. If the Yan thief's increase in troops was true, the two thousand Wei troops led by Tian Pengzu would definitely not be the opponent. At this time, it would be a lot of luck.
He thought of the lightning, and for a moment he didn't know how to make a decision. If he didn't save Tian Pengzu, he would be liquidated by Tian Yu afterwards. Even if he was not liquidated, he would be blamed. However, if he was rescued rashly, it might not be saved. He would also get involved and lose Huangxian.
Cheng Pei said gloomyly: "Shi Han, don't depose the public for personal gain. Tian Pengzu rashly sent troops, thinking that the enemy's arrival was a void, and never thought that he would actually meet the enemy reinforcements. If he was defeated and died at this time, he would not sacrifice his life for the country without any consequences. If you send troops to rescue him, it would be a private matter and not confuse it with official affairs. If you hold him accountable later, you should just wait for death."
Han Sheng's heart sank, and he knew that Cheng Pei was telling the truth. He almost bit his silver teeth and said hatefully: "Stop talking sarcastic words."
He was mixed with feelings. Whether he was rescued or not, he would face punishment afterwards. The family was destroyed and his family was destroyed. If he saved, he would be in front of him. If he saved, he would violate the righteousness and abandon the city and save the young. The court and Xiahou Xuan would order severe punishment.
If he doesn't save him, Tian Pengzu is the eldest son of Taishou Tian. If he has a few shortcomings, he will inevitably encounter obstacles everywhere in Qingzhou in the future.
Han Sheng immediately entered a dilemma, and this hesitation was slower by one day.
Yang Zuo saw Huangxian with fire in the distance and was overjoyed: "It has arrived. Take advantage of the night to attack and teach him how powerful it is."
Deng Zhong was also full of joy and quipped: "Yes, there are not many soldiers in the city, so he is no longer our opponent. We should fight quickly."
The two of them climbed onto the horses and rode their horses in a hurry. Seven thousand people rushed towards them like locusts coming from the ground. Each of them held a torch in their hands. The continuous team looked like a giant dragon in the night.
Han Sheng felt a sudden heart and ordered the soldiers to stand on the top of the city to fight against the elusive Yan army.
Yang Zuo stood under the city, sneered and walked around, feeling quite proud.
He waved his whip and made a "pop" sound in the air, shouting loudly: "Listen to the people in the city: Tian Pengzu has been killed and died. If you want to survive, open the city and surrender immediately. I can leave you alone for life. Not killing prisoners or robbing is the purpose of my Dayan. If you surrender to my Dayan, you can still maintain wealth and glory. What is the official position in Wei State? What is the official position in my Dayan?"
Han Sheng was so confused that the Yan thief could arrive in Huang County like a flat ground. It must have been Tian Pengzu who died in battle, otherwise he would have been able to stop it for a long time. He thought to himself: "I am not dereliction of duty when Tian Pengzu died in battle? If this is the case, if the prefect Tian blames him, he will never be able to avoid death."
Although it is right to stick to the situation and think about the overall situation, God knows that his boss's son died in battle and he did not send troops to rescue him in time, whether he would be wearing shoes or liquidated. This is another matter.
Han Sheng said angrily: "Don't disturb the morale of our army by Yan. Mr. Tian sacrificed his life for the country. Even if he unfortunately died, he was a righteous man from the Great Wei Dynasty. Do you and other usurpers dare to speak wildly?"
He didn't know that the army led by Tian Pengzu and Yang Zuo had never met. The Yan army landed on the most dangerous Jiuzhang Cliff and rushed to the front quickly. He thought that Tian Pengzu had arrived at the city successfully after he died in battle.
There is no way to prove it in this panic.
Yang Zuo's eyes rolled and continued, "It's up to you. Since I insist on being stubborn, I will order someone to attack the city. You are dereliction of duty. Even if you guard this small Huang County, Tian Yu later learned that his son died in battle, do you think you can escape? Why not surrender quickly?"
Speaking of this, I paused, and remembered that Cheng Pei was also in the city, and looked at Deng Zhong.
Deng Zhong immediately understood and stepped forward, shouting: "Shi Shi Han, if you are willing to surrender, you can capture Cheng Pei in the city and ask our army to surrender. After all, this person is the son of the governor of Qingzhou. If you offer him to surrender, you will make great contributions. When my Dayan conquers Qingzhou, you can appoint you as the prefect of Donglai County."
Han Sheng's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Cheng Pei next to him.
Cheng Pei glared at him with some anger. Han Sheng came to his senses and angrily scolded Deng Zhong under the city, and said coldly: "Rebellious, stop talking nonsense."
Deng Zhong whispered loudly: "Then I'll leave my words, only one of you can surrender. Either you kill him or he kills you. Otherwise, even if you open the city gate, I won't think you are surrendering!"
This is undoubtedly telling both parties that only whoever takes action has the opportunity to seek credit and surrender, while the other person must pay his life.
Han Sheng's face sank, thinking that this was not an obvious force for both sides to kill each other? But if he did not do this, once the Yan army conquered Huang County, both of them would die.
This problem was left to both sides. After all, Huang County has weak defense now, and most of them are recruited by the local savages. I don’t know how long it will take. Even if it lasts 300 miles away, it will take time to divide its troops to support.
After saying this, Yang Zuo shouted: "Siege the city!"
The Yan army immediately set up a formation and shot arrows at the top of the city. At the same time, another group of people rushed to the bottom of the city with a temporary long ladder, raised a ladder and attacked the top of the city.
Both sides fought back and forth.
Han Sheng urged the defenders to carry the rocks and smash the Yan army that was attacking.
But the defenders in the city were not only young and strong, but also had no battles on the battlefield. Seeing the arrows falling from the sky above their heads, they were so scared that they ran away with their heads in their arms.
Han Sheng was furious and ordered another thousand elite troops to replace the defense, fired the crossbows to the sky, giving the Yan army a saturated attack. After all, the two sides fought with crossbows, so naturally the higher side had an advantage, with a range beyond that.
The Yan army fought fiercely, and Yang Zuo led the warriors who survived the war in the east to fight Sima Yi and survived Goguryeo in the east, and were not inferior to the elite of the Wei army.
