Chapter 179 Seizing the City ([-])

At this time, the room was silent, only Wu Sheng's roar echoed.

"Since you join our heavenly army, you must follow military discipline."

"One of the four prohibitions of our army is to kill those who do not obey the orders of the superior!"

"How dare you disobey the order of General Tiangong, or you are pretending to surrender, not sincerely submitting"

Wu Sheng drew his sword out of its sheath: "Either, it is a violation of our army's prohibition, and he will be punished according to the law!"

The last word had a murderous intent, and it was as cold as ice, which immediately made the three of them go limp and their limbs trembled.

Seeing Wu Sheng who was slowly approaching with a ferocious expression on his face, the three of them felt chills in their hearts.

When he finally came in front of him, the other two dubs couldn't hold on anymore.

Hearing two plops, the two of them knelt down at the same time, shouting even louder:

"Forgive me, General."

"General Tiangong, please forgive me."

But Du Bo, who spoke before, was still standing at this moment, but his face was pale and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead, obviously trying to hold on.

Although fear arose in his heart, Uncle Du still gritted his teeth, looked at Wang Zheng, cupped his hands and said, "I see clearly, the general."

"Since the three of us surrendered, we did have the desire to survive and the fear of death. Now that we have joined the Heavenly Army, we should have obeyed the general's order."

"It's just that as a Kaiyang person, I feel ashamed for not protecting the environment and the people. Now"

"How is it now?" Wang Zheng looked sideways, staring at him with burning eyes, and asked.

Facing the condescending stare of the other party, Du Bo was trembling all over, but he still mustered up his courage and continued: "Now we have to wait to deceive Paoze and open the city gate, but it's really hard to do!"

"Oh?" Wang Zheng suddenly smiled when he heard this, and clapped his hands together: "Very good, very good."

Although he said so, everyone looked at him like a knife, without a hint of a smile, but they all instantly understood that this was irony.

"Not only that."

Uncle Nadu realized that his fate was not long, so he simply let go: "I am willing to serve the general and be driven by the general, but if we attack Kaiyang, or even any counties in Xuzhou, we will never do our best to obey orders!"

"No matter how unbearable I wait for the Xuzhou man, I will never use swords against my father and fellow villagers!"

The rhetoric should have been categorical, but this Du Bo was speaking in a stammering manner, without any momentum at all.

But the decisiveness revealed in his few words made Wang Zheng hear it.

How dare!

Hearing these words, Wu Sheng's face became more ferocious, and his eyes were even more fierce. He raised his right arm, and wanted to chop this person.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that this person was about to splatter blood on the spot in the next moment, Wang Zheng suddenly said something and stopped Wu Sheng.

"General?"

Looking at Wu Shengwang, there was surprise in his eyes, but Wang Zheng didn't respond immediately, but just paced towards the three of them.

Amidst the strange rhythmic footsteps, the imposing manner like a mountain became more and more awe-inspiring, and an invisible pressure slowly shrouded it.

When he finally walked in front of the three Dubos, the last Dubo who was standing couldn't hold on anymore, and also kowtowed to the ground.

It seems that a long time has passed.

Just when the hearts of the three were filled with despair, a clear voice floated down from above:

"Although you are not brave and fearless warriors, it is rare to think of the villagers and persevere."

"Especially you." Pointing to the person in the middle, Wang Zheng smiled suddenly: "That sentence of protecting the environment and the people is very good."

"As a soldier, you should never forget this heart."

"In this case, I will not force you, you wait and retreat first."

Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned, and said gratefully at the same time:
"Thank you General!"

Looking at the backs of the three leaving, Wu Sheng yelled unwillingly: "Ah Zheng, if the three of them don't want to, then attack Kaiyang next."

"Isn't there another one?" Wang Zheng smiled, sat down and said loudly, "Let him do it."

"What if he doesn't want to?" Wu Sheng knew that Wang Zheng was talking about Jing Yi, so he asked again.

"He will."

Wang Zheng's voice was full of affirmation.

Kaiyang.

As the prefecture of Langya State, it was built along the Yi River. The original city was a rammed earth city. During the Spring and Autumn Period of Lu State, in order to resist the Jin State, Jisunsi and Shusunzhou Chou Shuai were sent to build a city here, which became the defense of Lu State.

The most famous military event that has occurred on this land so far should be the Battle of Maling during the Warring States Period.

Sun Bin, a military adviser of the State of Qi, defeated his brother Pang Juan, a general of the State of Wei, his brother, on the ancient Maling Road in the south of the city, and finally avenged Bin's punishment and tattoo.

(Another said that the Maling Ancient Road is located in Daming County, Hebei Province)
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the city has been in peace for more than two hundred years.

If Wang Zheng hadn't come across, in the original history, this city and its people would have enjoyed such a peaceful situation for many years.

On the seventh day after Wang Ling led the army out of the city, once again there was a surge of military spirit approaching Kaiyang slowly.

The city wall of Linyi is eight meters high, and the watchtower on the top of the city is nearly two meters high.

Naturally, when a large black spot appeared within five miles, the patrol soldiers immediately noticed the movement.

He quickly cheered up and looked into the distance.

Although there was still a certain distance, it could be barely seen that the number of people was about four or five hundred, but the aura of the battlefield and the faintly visible cold light in the midday sun made him make an immediate judgment.

Not caravans, not refugees.
It's the army!
Could it be that the county lieutenant has already wiped out the Yellow Turban bandits and returned at this time?
The city defense soldiers, who had never thought about the possibility of failure of their own [-] officers and soldiers, sounded the alarm bell according to the system, although they had guessed in their minds.

The humming sound suddenly sounded, and it echoed over the entire city even more quickly.

Over the past few years, such warning bells have occurred more than once.

Even before Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, small bands of Yellow Turban bandits rebelled in the territory from time to time, but Langya County and Kaiyang City seemed to be blessed by God, and every time they faced the enemy, it turned out to be a false alarm .

So those soldiers who were not on duty today and were farming at home didn't take it seriously when they heard it, and didn't immediately gather at the barracks according to the system.

Most of the city defense troops on duty also looked relaxed, slowly putting on their armor and holding knives, gathering towards the various city gates and the top of the city.

"The first bell rang this year, much earlier than in previous years? I remember it only rang in April last year."

"It's right to be careful, after all, Linyi, which is not far away, is suffering from thieves right now!"

"Hey, the county lieutenant is out, and those bandits are about to die. Counting the time, it is estimated that they are all going to hell by now."

These officers and soldiers discussed in low voices in groups of three or five, condescendingly looking down at the scene in the distance.

The approaching army was not slow, after about half an hour, they were not far from Kaiyang City Wall.

Finally, the sharp-eyed soldiers saw clearly the "King" general flag flying on the other side.

"The captain has returned with a big victory?" A soldier shouted excitedly at first, and then doubts appeared on his face: "Why are there so few people?"

In any case, the news spread that it was our own army, and the already loose soldiers became more and more happy.

Some officers and soldiers have even walked down, preparing to lower the suspension bridge ahead of time and open the city gates.

"That's not right!"

I don't know who yelled, and the panic in the sharp voice surprised the defenders, and they instinctively looked outside the city again.

As the distance gets closer, more and more people see it clearly.

It is true that there are four or five hundred people at the head, and it is indeed the flag and armor of the Kaiyang Army.
But these soldiers all looked in a panic. Not only were most of them covered in blood and filth, but many of them were wounded and wrapped in bandages!

There was almost no formation, everyone's pace was scattered, their heads were downcast, and they were randomly mixed together, and the flags were raised upside down.

At this time, countless teams of different numbers appeared one after another not far away, stretching into a thin and chaotic long line.

Adding it all up, the total is almost a thousand.

This scene.
Doesn't it look like you won a battle?

Could a brave man like the county lieutenant be defeated by a group of yellow turban bandits?
Everyone showed an expression of disbelief, but vaguely felt that perhaps this was the truth.

However, the yellow turban bandits are just that.
What's more, didn't you say that there were only more than 1000 people?

Even if you add those refugees, even if there is an ambush, even if the information is inaccurate.
Not so much!
 Finally, another chapter has been saved.
