Chapter 1 The Han army captures Wancheng
Zhang Mancheng, who was in the city, naturally heard the reports of the generals guarding the city in Wancheng one after another. He knew that the Han army had been cursing under the city, and the more they cursed, the more they were getting uglier, but he had no choice but to do so. There was no way out, so he finally got out of the prefect's mansion and came to the top of Wancheng's city.
When the Yellow Turban soldiers saw that it was Zhang Mancheng, "Master, this enemy is really..."
Zhang Mancheng waved his hand and advised: "I know what you are going to say. Now the Han army is cursing under the city, just to make us unable to calm down and go out of the city to fight with them. This is the Han army's plan, to make us give up the advantage of defending the city and go out of the city to fight. Brothers, don't be fooled!"
Although Zhang Mancheng also knew what the Yellow Turban soldiers said, most of them still couldn't stand it, "Master..."
"No need to say more, say it again. Do not open the city gate to fight. Those who open the city gate without authorization will deal with it, military law!"
After Zhang Mancheng said this, no one said anything more. After all, the generals of Wancheng defending the city and the generals said it personally that these two situations have indeed different shocks to the Yellow Turban soldiers. Even if some people are dissatisfied with each other, at least they dare not say anything more on the surface.
When Zhang Mancheng looked down at the city, he saw Cui An cursing happily under the city. Cui An's eyes were also working, and he happened to see Zhang Mancheng. When he saw that he was coming, the boy cursed even more excitedly. Zhang Mancheng frowned. He was not a good-tempered person, but now when he heard this, he immediately scolded Cui An. In the end, he suppressed his anger and went back. He really couldn't stay. He felt that if he had stood at the top of the city for a long time today, he might not be able to resist and then fall into the Han army's plan.
Zhang Mancheng left, but the Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city in Wancheng were suffering from torture on the top of the city. Cui An scolded him for resting when he was tired and drinking some water when he was thirsty. I don’t know when he prepared it. I have to say that this kid was quite prepared.
Ma Chao was very satisfied with Cui An's performance. Although no one from the Yellow Turban Army went to fight, Cui An's scolding also hit the other party's morale to a certain extent. So Cui An didn't shout so loudly, and even less so careful about cursing people.
Cui An swears from morning to night, and finally he even got hoarse in his voice, and then Ma Chao personally pulled him back. Why did he pull him back in person? It was because the boy's voice was hoarse and he continued to curse under the city. It seemed that he was addicted to scolding. Ma Chao had no choice but to pull him back in person in the end.
The fourth day of the two sides' stalemate ended when Ma Chao's night attack on the enemy camp and the scolding formation under Cui An City.
On the fifth day, Ma Chao sent more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices to curse under the city early in the morning. These soldiers were the best selected by him among more than 4,000 people. Not only did they have loud voices, but their level of cursing was higher than Cui An. Ma Chao was quite satisfied with it and had to admit that the masters were among the people.
However, today the Yellow Turban Army was smart, and perhaps because of Zhang Mancheng's instructions, they also started to fight back. So you can see a scene where one side curses the people in the city under the city, while the other side curses the people in the city. This time, both sides are a match for each other and will meet good talents. There is no battle to attack and defend the city in this battlefield, but there are only verbal and verbal criticisms and constant curses. It has to be said that in addition to the need for force on the battlefield, this swearing can also be considered an advantage.
On the fifth day, the two sides passed by amid the confrontation between the two sides. On the ugliness of the sixth day, Ma Chao ordered the whole army to have a full meal, and he was about to take action again.
Sure enough, just after the Yin hour, I came to visit the Ma Newspaper, "Sir, a secret code has been found at the top of Wancheng City, and the gate of Wancheng City has been opened!"
"Okay! Go down. Shuzhi, order the entire army to attack Wancheng, Fuda, you can go together!"
"No!" "No!"
Chen Dao took the order and Cui An went out with him. Of course, Chen Dao knew that the speed of the army was so fast that he had to attack Wancheng at the fastest speed, or it would change later. He had been on standby in Ma Chao's tent before so that he could get the orders of his lord as soon as possible.
The code was agreed upon by Ma Chao and Wei Ping in Luoyang, and only Wei Ping and Ma Chao themselves knew it. Of course, for the sake of need, the explorer also knew it before, so Ma Chao did not think it was Zhang Mancheng's plan. With Wei Ping's loyalty to him, he would not betray him even if he was arrested. So this can only be said that Wei Ping and the others have succeeded and have temporarily opened the city gate. The opportunity must not be missed, and they will never come again.
Ma Chao then also left the military tent, and the entire army had already attacked Wancheng under the command of Chen Dao. Cui An even led the way and rushed into Wancheng first. Ma Chao did not participate in the battle this time, and he asked Chen Dao to take full control of himself. He knew that more than 4,000 people were really a little bit of a problem for Chen Dao, and there was no problem at all. Ma Chao felt that it was actually similar to whether he had himself this time, and it didn't matter much. It was really better to let Chen Dao Cui An and others perform more.
This night attack on Wancheng was planned. In fact, after Wei Ping and his team created various chaos in the Yellow Turban Camp on the fourth day, less than 70 of them retreated smoothly to Wancheng without any abnormalities. Thinking about it, the Yellow Turban soldiers who knew they were the Han army were killed by them, and they were also injured. There were tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, but no one paid attention to them at all, and there was no doubt about them.
On the sixth day, they and some of the more than thirty people who had already sneaked into Wancheng, attacked the top of Wancheng at night, opened the city gate and let the Han army enter the city.
After the Han army invaded Wancheng, some of them rushed to the top of the city, while others started street fighting with the Yellow Turban Army. The city gate was only opened by Wei Ping and others, but the city gate was not controlled by them, so the ninety-six of them were still fighting with the Yellow Turban soldiers in Wancheng.
After the Han army attacked the city, they finally relieved their pressure. Ma Chao had already informed the entire army that the ones who did not have the yellow turbans on their heads were their own people, so the Han army could recognize that Wei Ping and the others were all their own people. As for the Yellow Turbans on the other head, they were taken off by Wei Ping and the others before the action.
Zhang Mancheng was awakened by the shouts of killing in his sleep. He was dreaming of killing Ma Chao and annihilated the Han army. "Report, great general, great things are going to be wrong. The city gate was opened, and the enemy army attacked and attacked the city!"
Although Zhang Mancheng woke up a little confused, he immediately understood what was going on when he heard it. It seemed that people from the Han army had already sneaked into his camp, and then... hey, why didn't he expect it?
"roll!"
Zhang Mancheng kicked the Yellow Turban soldier with one kick. He took the bad luck and ran away after being kicked. Zhang Mancheng quickly took the weapons and put on his shoes and left the prefect's mansion, without even having time to put on his coat.
As soon as he left the prefect's mansion, he heard the Han army shouting in the distance: "Catch Zhang Mancheng alive, capture Zhang Mancheng alive, don't let him run away!" It seemed that the Han army was coming towards the prefect's mansion.
Zhang Mancheng is now trying to escape. Listening to the shouts of killing around him, he knew that he was powerless to turn things around, but he could not die so easily. It was a trivial matter for his death, but no one avenged the dead brothers in Wancheng again, so he could not die no matter what.
He didn't know if the Han army saw him, but he ran away anyway, and hated his parents for not giving him two more legs. In the end, he felt that he had to find a place to hide first, so he had no choice but to escape into a family and jumped into the wall from outside.
After the Han army entered the prefect's mansion, they found that Zhang Mancheng had already disappeared, so they immediately launched a search.
"This kid runs fast!"
Cui An said that he wanted to catch Zhang Mancheng and then take credit in front of his lord. This was such a shameful thing. But he didn't expect that Zhang Mancheng ran faster than a rabbit. As soon as he saw that there was no one in the prefect's mansion, Cui An went out of the mansion to chase Zhang Mancheng.
Chen Dao had even more ideas. He didn't know when he killed a yellow turban soldier who looked a little like Zhang Mancheng. After cutting off the opponent's head, he inserted it into his spear. He rode a horse and shouted: "Zhang Mancheng's head is here, the enemy's head is here, why don't the enemy surrender quickly! Zhang Mancheng's head is here, the enemy's head is here, the enemy's head is here!"
At this time, the light was not good at all. The head level on Chen Dao's gun did look very similar to Zhang Mancheng, and the Yellow Turban soldiers didn't know where their commander had gone, so almost everyone took it seriously.
This caused the morale of the Yellow Turban Army to fall to the bottom of the valley. Some people were no longer interested in fighting again. After two night attacks by the Han army, some people were even more frightened by this. Now, when they saw that even the general was dead, why would they fight for their lives? Before, the Han army was scolded like that under the city, Zhang Mancheng did not give up the battle, which made most of the Yellow Turban soldiers complain, so most of the Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered to the Han army.
There are also some more loyal soldiers who fought their lives when they saw their general being killed by the enemy and vowed to avenge Zhang Mancheng even if they died.
"Brothers, avenge the general, let me kill these gangs..."
This was called out by a loyal soldier under Zhang Mancheng, but before he could finish this sentence, he was killed by the Han soldiers.
"Brothers, everyone cannot surrender! Avenge the general and kill us, let's fight for his good fortune!"
Perhaps it was infected by the previous soldier, or for some other reason, who had not surrendered yet, the Yellow Turban soldiers loyal to Taiping Road and Zhang Mancheng also shouted and killed the Han army. They did kill some Han army. However, these people were not opponents of the Han army after all, and in the end they could not escape the fate of being killed.
