The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 47: The Righteous Zeng Kaiqi

The scorching sun of Zeng Kaiqi, the martyr, shone on the head of Chongxian County, and also on the face of Kexian Lieutenant. The soldiers were all shocked by the scene in front of them. Come up and open the city gate.

The people downstairs were also surprised by the scene in front of them, but they were at a loss; "General, enter the city quickly, I am a gate guard under Guan Junhou before; I have already controlled the county captain, Please enter the city quickly to calm the chaos." Zeng Kaiqi hurriedly shouted at Jufu on the tower, but Jufu did not respond; he could have led the army into the city, but he had to hesitate because he was tasked with luring the enemy. After all, there were only a thousand people. If something goes wrong, he can't afford it.

"Haha, Zeng Kaiqi, have you seen that the Han army you have been looking forward to for a long time doesn't trust you at all?" The county lieutenant began to intensify Zeng Kaiqi when he saw that the Han army had no intention of entering the city at all.

"Lieutenant Brock is concerned, I'm ready"

"Generals and soldiers of the Han army under the city, I know that you still don't trust me for the time being. This is the county captain of Chongxian County. I use his head to clear the way for the army; the captains of Kexian County are their masters. Thank you for your kindness in the past. Today I have to borrow your head to use it," he said; when he raised the knife and dropped it, blood spattered, and a human head fell to the city.Seeing this, the county lieutenant's personal guards rushed towards Zeng Kaiqi desperately, and the city was in chaos.

"Enter the city" At this moment, Qin Jie shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the Han army rushed towards the city gate immediately.

When Zeng Kaiqi saw the Han army starting to enter the city, she also drew out her sword and began to kill the guards left by the county lieutenant; thanks to Zeng Kaiqi's assistance, the Han army successfully controlled the entire city gate in less than a quarter of an hour, and began to attack the city. The rest of the gates launched an offensive.

"General, Zeng Cheng, the former gate guard of the Public Security City, pay my respects." Zeng Kaiqi cupped his fists in salute to Ju, who came up to the city.

"In the next sentence, it is really a blessing for the Shu Han to have a hero like General Zeng in Shu Han." Feeling Zeng Cheng's loyalty, Ju Fu was filled with emotion.

"This is the responsibility of the last general, and he cannot be called a hero."

"General Zeng is being modest. Let me introduce you. This is Qin Jie, the commander-in-chief of our army." Seeing Qin Jie walking towards this side, Ju Fu also hastily introduced.

"The sinner pays homage to General Qin." Hearing Ju Fu's introduction, Zeng Cheng immediately cupped his fists to salute Qin Jie.

"General, this is Zeng Cheng's word Kaiqi. He opened the city gate for our army, and he was also a soldier of our Han army before. When Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, he had no choice but to surrender to the Wu army with Fu Shiren." Ju Fu pointed at Zeng Chengchao again. introduce.

"There is no one guilty, but the one who is guilty is the traitorous general Fu Shiren. The general who surrendered to our army at this time is a meritorious general. If you don't give up, join our army. With Wuling people like you as your guide, I will The army can move freely in Wuling County." Qin Jie is also a person with a heart, and he did not dislike him, but accepted him as a lieutenant in the army.

"The end will be willing to join"

"Our army's next plan is to capture Luzhong County, what's your strategy?" Qin Jie also asked when he saw that he readily agreed.

"Why does General Qin need to attack Luzhong County? The Lieutenant of Luzhongcheng County was my friend in the Public Security Bureau back then. If I go to Luzhong and explain the current situation to him, I think he will definitely submit to the general." Zeng Cheng listened When I arrived in the hug, I suddenly became interested.

"This plan is related to your life. If he doesn't agree, he might not let you back, so let's find another plan." Hearing Zeng Cheng's plan, Qin Jie was first happy, and then worried.

"General, if I can exchange my own life for the countless soldiers who were killed or injured in the siege, it will be worth it; please give the order." Zeng Cheng did not hesitate but chose to go to Huazhong alone.

Qin Jie didn't directly agree to Zeng Cheng's request, but cast a look at Ju Fu, "General, I think Brother Zeng's plan can be achieved in the end. Brother Zeng has already said that he and the Luzhong county lieutenant have a friendship, so it must be impossible." I won't harm Brother Zeng." Ju Fu saw Qin Jie gesturing to himself, and then looked at Zeng Cheng with anticipation and loyalty; he had to imagine how he would feel if he was in Zeng Cheng's position at this time .

"Thank you, General, for fulfilling your mission. In the end, you will live up to your mission," Zeng Cheng hurriedly agreed when he saw Fu Fu's words.

"Brother Zeng, take care, I will hold a banquet in the city, waiting for Brother Zeng to return"

After Zeng Cheng left, Ju Fu and Qin Jie also felt that the Shu Han had won the hearts of the people so much, and if the hearts of the people can be relied on, hegemony can be achieved.

The fourth day of June in the first year of Zhangwu; under the city of Yidao

The flag of the Han army was planted throughout the battlefield. At this time, there were at least [-] soldiers of the Han army standing under Yidao City. Yellow flags were flying in the formation. In front is the front of more than [-] Zhang Fei dressed in white clothes and holding a banner with the word "righteousness".The flags of Wu, Zhou, Ling, Sun, Pan, and Zhu were also planted on the city tower, and there were naturally countless soldiers of the Wu army under the flags;

A gust of wind blew by, and all the flags fluttered in the wind; Zhang Fei didn't say a word to Wu Jun, "The catapult is ready!"

Immediately, hundreds of catapults were controlled by the soldiers and began to fill with stones. With the sound of the war drum, the covering stones fell straight towards the tower of Yidao. The collision between the stones caused the city wall to be covered with bruises. At a loss, "Hurry up and hide under the parapet, hide under the parapet." The guarding generals continued to direct the actions of the soldiers.

The arrow stacks on the city tower also look fragile under the slingstones that cover the sky and the earth. A corner under the female wall: "If the Han army smashes down like this, will our city walls be chipped away?" The old soldier asked the elder next to him;
"Our Yidao City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Han army spends a whole day smashing it, it is impossible to cut down our city wall." The chief said that Yidao City is also very confident.

"Then if the Han army starts to attack the city, can we resist it? When I was in Lanshang that day, I saw the ferocity of the Han army, especially the soldiers in white clothes and white armor. They charged desperately."

"This is what you don't understand. If the Han army attacks the city, our army will have the upper hand in defending the city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in our city. An Neng can let the barbarians change hands."

"I will follow Shichang later, I will do whatever you ask me to do"

For nearly half an hour, the catapult was showing its power, and the top of the tower was completely in a state of chaos. Seven out of ten of the arrow stacks on the tower were cut off, and the city wall was smashed and devastated; at the same moment when the catapult stopped, The Han army formed a defensive formation of shields and approached the city wall. The arrows of the Wu army did not have a significant effect on them. After a while, these formations approached the moat, and bags began to be thrown out from under the shields. As soon as the soldiers on the tower saw that their intention was to fill the moat, even though they were very anxious at the moment, they could only watch helplessly as the Han army filled the water drawn from the Yangtze River for irrigation. the moat; the soldiers of the Han army returned to work endlessly, but they still did not fill the moat for nearly two hours.

"Brother, it will take us at least two hours to completely fill up the moat of Yidao, why don't we go back to the camp to rest first?" Zhang Fei knew that his elder brother was over sixty years old, and began to persuade him.

"Third brother, don't worry, my soldiers are working hard ahead, how can I retreat to the camp to rest?" Liu Bei showed a full face in the face of Zhang Fei's persuasion at this time, so that everyone knew that he would not withdraw from this formation. (The annual Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and good health forever;)
