Chapter 308 The Taste of Killing (5K)

After the news spread, Yan Xiang rushed back just two days later.

At this time, Wang Zheng was personally doing the mobilization oath before the departure of the army on the school field in the city. After hearing the news, he immediately ran to greet him.

Later, when they returned to the mansion to discuss matters, the two met face to face, and Wang Zhengcai found that the scholar was dusty and his clothes were covered with blood, so he couldn't help showing a concerned expression:
"Sir, it seems that the road is not smooth?"

After this battle, Yan Xiang's demeanor has changed quite a bit, his previous refined demeanor has faded a lot, but the expression on his face is much more determined.Hearing this, he smiled, and said calmly: "Now the main force of the Xiapi army should be gathered in Huai Ling City, but Gaoshan is the closest geographically to Guangling County, so there should be a branch stationed there."

"I don't know how many people and horses there are, but within ten miles outside the city, a lot of rangers have been sent to sweep up, intending to block the passage of our army."

"When there were few people before the next one, there were quite a few battles."

"It doesn't matter if there are more soldiers gathered in the back." Wang Zheng laughed and asked, "By the way, is there someone from Yangzhou?"

"My lord sent General Qiao Rui to come." Yan Xiang nodded and said, "During this period, Xiangben has gathered nearly ten thousand people, but General Qiao believes that the enemy in Xiapi has just won a big victory, and the main force is still there, which is even more morale. It was very prosperous, so I asked for most of it and left."

"Oh?" Wang Zheng raised his brows: "When you came back, there was a battle. How is the battle going?"

"We are still in a confrontation at the moment." Yan Xiang replied, and then changed the topic: "According to General Qiao, the Lord heard that although we defeated Ji Ling along the way, we captured Tangyi and even defeated the main force of the Guangling Army. Unable to win, I deeply feel that the assassin is heroic."

Speaking of this, Yan Xiang paused, and smiled uncomfortably: "My lord, there are quite a lot of people on this road now. As the chief general, the governor must work hard, so I specially arranged for General Qiao to send the gift that was given to the governor before." Come here together and instruct the military on important matters, besides relaxing on the battlefield, you can also relax a bit."

Gift?

Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, and then he reacted immediately.

This should be the beautiful maid Bu Wan'er?
Isn't this nonsense, he curled his lips secretly, how decent is it to put a woman in the barracks?
But at the next moment, he knew that his thinking was too simple. The attack on Guangling was related to Yuan Shu's plan. The Skeleton King's move seemed unwise, but there should be other meanings. It couldn't be purely for "rewarding himself", right?

Could it be that there are too many people along the way?
Even though Yuan Jun was commanded by Yan Xiang, he was still worried, so he arranged for Bu Wan'er to come and spy on him?

"Since that's the case," Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you Zhou Mu for your kindness."

Gossiping for a while, since Yan Xiang had brought the new force back to the city, Wang Zheng didn't want to waste any more time, and directly ordered Gu Jian to summon the generals, just in time for the several officers brought by Yan Xiang to get acquainted with their colleagues first.

Everyone gathered in the hall, Wang Zheng looked around the audience, smiled with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Now we have thousands of Jiangdong warriors to help us. There are more than [-] soldiers and horses, and there are more than [-] soldiers. Guangling is within easy reach. !"

First of all, he boasted about boosting morale, and then Wang Zhengcai cut to the chase, unfolded the map, and pointed out the vicinity of Guangling:
"According to what this general sees, although there is only Yuguo city blocking the attack on Guangling this time, there are still Gaoyou cities to the north of Guangling, and they are not far away, so we must guard against it."

"Therefore, why don't you divide your troops into three places, the left wing at the top, Mr. Yan, let you arrange troops to approach and intercept other Guangling troops in the county who may come to help."

"The right wing is at the bottom. I would have arranged for Gu Jian and others to stay in the hall and guard our retreat throat."

"As for the Chinese army, I will lead 6000 people with my husband. The goal is to attack Yuguo and take Guangling!"

After the introduction in a few words, Wang Zheng turned his head and asked, "Sir, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

"The governor is the talent of a general." Yan Xiang nodded: "Everything will be arranged by the governor."

Since the first battle in Tangyi, Wang Zheng used the way of mourning soldiers to sharpen his troops, and personally risked bows and arrows to boost the morale of the troops. In this regard, Yan Xiang has long admired his ability and has no objection:
"When is the governor going to send troops?"

"The original plan was to march within five days, sir, came in time, and there is still plenty of time." Wang Zheng said after pondering for a moment, "The friendly army has traveled a long distance and only arrived today, so let's give it a day to rest, and then go straight up the day after tomorrow." !"

"The governor loves the soldiers so much." Yan Xiang had no objection: "No wonder the soldiers under his command always take the lead in every battle."

Now the two discussed in detail, the date was set, and the business came to an end.

After Yan Xiang left, Wang Zheng walked out of the school grounds, climbed up and looked into the distance, and saw the clear blue sky, white clouds and gray dogs, and a vague outline of Guangling seemed to be vaguely visible on the empty plain.

It's dark, like a black rice grain.

He turned his head to look west again, there were quite a few black spots outside the city that were busy going back and forth, it was the new Yuan Jun camp, the town was not big after all, if nearly ten thousand people were stationed there, it would be a bit crowded.

After watching it for a while, Wang Zheng shook his head secretly, it was too ordinary.

Looking at this camp, one can tell that the generals of Yuan Jun who came this time are not very capable people. As for Yan Xiang.
Although he is an outstanding strategist, his ability and experience above the military ranks, compared to Ji Ling before him, there is still a big gap.

But from a certain point of view, it is actually a good thing.

Incompetent people, no matter whether they conquer them with virtue, intimidate them, or lure them with profit, are easier to control and control than those who are confident and good at fighting.

As long as these people are subdued, since they only follow their own lead, Yuan Jun, the newcomer along the way, will soon be under his control?
Back at the county government office, I saw a familiar figure.

At this time, the sky is still very bright, but in summer, it is always like this. Before the golden crow falls, there are jade rabbits rushing to take over. In fact, it is already time for dinner.

As for Bu Wan'er, she also thoughtfully prepared meals.

Speaking of it, although Wang Zheng is a high-ranking and powerful person now, most of the time, due to the war, there are very few people who serve him in the places where he usually lives or in the barracks, or in the wild.

There is no problem with the guards and killing the enemy, but after all, they are a group of rough men, and they are not good at taking care of and serving people. Often the king is too busy at meal times and forgets to eat, and they also accompany them. Forget together, hungry together.

Fortunately, Wang Zheng's physique is excellent and he is full of energy, which is not a big deal.

But after a busy day, I can see a table of hot meals when I go home. Even if I am not hungry, it is very comfortable to look at.

Feeling warm in his heart, he nodded to the beautiful maidservant. After taking a few mouthfuls, he felt that the dishes were quite delicious. He couldn't help but look at Bu Wan'er with admiration. Said: "I came here all the way from Yangzhou. The mountains are long and the rivers are far away. Was it hard?"

Bu Wan'er bowed her head, revealing her fair neck, and shook it slightly.

"Then are you ready to eat?" Wang Zheng rubbed his nose, and he found that every time he faced this woman, he didn't know whether it was because the other party's reaction was too dull, or it was his own problems, and he always inadvertently came to what later generations called "embarrassing chat". status, I have nothing to say:
"Come on, sit down, let's eat something together?"

As he spoke, he patted the empty seats on the table.

I don't know whether it's unwilling or not, but even with skin-to-skin relatives, Bu Wan'er is still so reserved when alone, which makes Wang Zheng feel a little bored.

He admitted that maybe it was because the girl was perfect before, even if the other party was not as familiar as Huo Si, and had never met before, but one night's love was enough to make Wang Zheng treat her a little bit Treating each other differently, I always feel that she is very different in my heart.

But if the other party insists on being polite, he can't force it.

For a while, Wang Zheng fell silent, and Bu Wan'er just fell quietly on the ground without saying a word.

A needle-dropping silence fell into the hall.

After a while, Bu Wan'er raised her head slightly, and looked at Wang Zheng inquiringly, but saw that Wang Zheng didn't look at her, but stared out of the window, as if he was watching the evening scene in summer, but his expression was thoughtful, but not like.

What is he thinking?

Bu Wan'er looked at the young man secretly, with childish eyes but with a different kind of seriousness, as if she was looking at her favorite toy.

In fact, after looking at it for a long time, in fact, his appearance is not bad.

Thinking about it, Bu Wan'er moved her knees, and saw the hem of the skirt move slightly, her body showed an exquisite curve, and her white thighs were looming, as if she wanted to kneel forward.

Following his instinct, he moved a little closer to Wang Zheng's body, but just after he moved only a few inches, his dull and even dull expression changed, his brows furrowed, his eyelashes trembled, and then his expression became terrified.

She asked about the taste again.

That is
The smell of killing!

It seems that as long as she is close to Wang Zheng, the girl can see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood through the smell of killing.

This always reminded her of what Yuan Shu had said to her.

Don't underestimate Wang Zheng because of his age, let alone misunderstand him because of the false title of Governor of Xuzhou.

This young man who is not as good as the weak crown is the leader of a group of Yellow Turban Bandits!
He is even the most ferocious thief in the world today!

Every step the opponent takes is in exchange for the lives and corpses of thousands of people!

Bu Wan'er didn't dare to approach him anymore.

I dare not look at him anymore!
Even if Wang Zheng always showed her naturalness, sincerity, and even...
gentle.

But smelling this bloody smell, Bu Wan'er always believed that people with such a smell are definitely not good people!

He is a thief!
Bu Wan'er lowered her head again, her mind was full of thoughts, she was afraid, but she couldn't help but continue to outline the boy's appearance in her heart.

It's still better to have him in my heart, without the smell of blood, and he no longer scares her.

At this time, Wang Zheng suddenly spoke.

"Wan'er." He turned his head to look around and asked, "Did you hear that?"

ah?What do you hear?
Bu Wan'er raised her head in fear, pricked up her ears uneasily, and tried her best to listen to the movement around her, but there was nothing but the gentle breeze and the chirping insects.

"That's right, you don't have a system." Wang Zheng uttered a strange remark, and immediately smiled: "I heard it clearly."

He said, "That's the sound of soldiers sharpening their swords."

"That's the sound of armor clashing while walking."

"That's great." When this topic was mentioned, the young man was no longer as helpless and awkward as before, his face was full of confidence, and his eyes were bright.

"It's really pleasant to hear."

In the early morning of the third day, in the stillness of the night, large army fish rushed out.

The night wind was blowing, and Wang Zheng was riding on the horse. Looking around, he could see the formation like a long snake, with no end in sight, as if it would never end.

Since they got up early in the morning, it was for a surprise attack. Although there were torches, they were not bright.

The people in the craftsman camp were placing trebuchets, ladders, and carts in an orderly manner. At the same time, under the order of Wang Zheng, the elites of the Tianzhu camp adjusted their formation and surrounded the west side of Yuguo while the night was slowly approaching. the city gate.

At the same time, a horse galloped towards him from a distance, and when he got closer, Wang Zheng recognized that it was General Yuan Jun brought by Yan Xiang this time, and he rode his horse closer and reported in a low voice:
"Report to the Inspector. The Master will report at the end of his life. Our department has already arrived in the east of the city, occupying a favorable position, and guarding the gates in the east of the city. Please rest assured, the Inspector, not even a single Guangling soldier will be released!"

"Very good." Attacking a city is completely different from attacking a county. Attacking a city can pay attention to besieging three and missing one, so as to prevent the enemy from desperately fighting to the death. But after attacking Yucheng, the plan is to continue attacking Guangling immediately. In order to be as quick as thunder.

That being the case, one must not let the wind leak out, even though the enemy is now clear, it may be good to let the opponent deal with it later, and the other is, of course, if one person is released now, Guangling will have one more person to defend in the future.

"Tell Mr. Yan." Wang Zheng solemnly reminded again: "This battle must be completely wiped out, and no one must be let go."

"Here!" The general gave a military salute, turned around and mounted his horse, and went back to deliver orders.

Afterwards, the army reported continuously, and all the departments of the two armies came to report one after another, and they had arrived at the designated location. At this time, the fire on the top of the city suddenly lit up, and the voices of people became noisy.

Obviously until this time, he finally found out that the soldiers were really slow and incompetent when they came to the city.

"Send the order, hurry up and dig trenches and set up obstacles." Wang Zheng sneered, the isolated city was undefendable, if the enemy generals were not extremely stupid, they would definitely consider breaking out at this time, otherwise they would just sit and wait for death:
"Just wait for the beating of the drums to sound, fly the flag, and immediately attack the city!"

At the time of Zhiyin, the situation of encirclement on all sides was completely formed.

Just after dawn, Wang Zheng looked far away and saw three or four generals in bright armor surrounded by a group of soldiers on the top of the city tower, pointing their fingers, as if watching the appearance of the heavenly army.

After a few glances, Wang Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at his own camp again. Various obstacles outside the city were piled up in front of the army. To be on the safe side, Wang Zheng even began to mobilize manpower to place the soil from digging ditches on the front line, preparing to attack the city later. Build earthen walls.

This method was exactly what Xu Fang used when he attacked Linzi.

Of course, the city wall is not too high, and a slope can be piled up in a short time, which directly offsets the location of the city wall.

Wang Zheng was not a belligerent person, and most of the time now he charged forward, and more only when facing a strong enemy, because that required him to take the lead, one was to boost morale, and the other was to seize the opportunity.

Since there is no Zhang Fei in Yucheng, he has no interest in taking risks, after all, the war is fierce and dangerous.

In fact, for any general, siege must be the least acceptable war situation, and it is basically a last resort.

Sun Tzu said: "The first step is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort."

There are too many disadvantages of siege, and it is time-consuming to prepare large-scale equipment for siege!

Once time-consuming, no matter the generals and soldiers, they are prone to anxiety, especially the former, once they are unable to restrain themselves, ordering soldiers and ants to climb the wall and attack the city, it is not time-consuming, but life-consuming.

As far as Wang Zheng is concerned, he is not afraid of wasting human life, what he is most afraid of is that the life consumed is worthless. To put it bluntly, he has no experience points.

Therefore, since ancient times, the highest evaluation of generals, whether it is "a good fighter has no great name" or "a soldier who surrenders without fighting", is essentially talking about the optimal solution to victory. The smallest price, in exchange for brilliant results.

The reason why later generations of foreign races frequently slaughtered cities in the early stage when they invaded China was precisely because the population of foreign races was not large, so they really couldn't afford to die, and they were most afraid of siege warfare.

It is precisely because of fear that they want to publicize the arrival of the soldiers. If they do not surrender immediately and give up resistance, once the city is broken, they will suffer heinous revenge.

In fact, this is also a kind of soldier who surrenders without fighting, but it is done in the most brutal and tyrannical way.

Everything was ready, Wang Zheng was about to give the order to attack the city, but when he saw the city, he thought of the sound of drums beating, and was startled. When he looked around, he saw a flag erected on the top of the city, waving in the wind.

Is this about to break out?

Wang Zheng raised his sword eyebrows, and immediately ordered the flag to be raised, and the torch was lit, so that the whole army could see clearly in the night.

Between the voices of people and horses neighing, the drums on the opposite side kept ringing, and for half an hour, the enemy still did not leave the city, and the other three sides also sent people to report at the same time, the situation was generally the same.

Nima's!
Wang Zheng came to the aftertaste, this is playing Lao Tzu!

This kind of harassment with the sound of drums is just like the previous attack on Zhao County, which has the same effect.

The seemingly simple and useless tactics should not be underestimated.

For one thing, it can disrupt the normal subordinates of the enemy, whether it is the defending side or the attacking side;
Secondly, although it was a false shot, when the two armies confronted the enemy, especially in the first battle, no one was full of vigilance, and even knew that the opponent was fake, and dared not be careless.

Under the harassment back and forth, not to mention the impetuous morale of the army, the morale of the vanguard was also frustrated.

However, just like the so-called "power of horns", many strategies can be crushed directly in the face of absolute strength.

For example, at this time, regardless of the total strength of the troops, the elite combat ability of the individual soldiers, and even the bravery of the general, the royal government's army is fully dominant.

In particular, what the opposite general doesn't know is that as the status gets higher and higher, in some places, the king's government is getting more and more advanced, but in some things, he seems to have really become a hairy boy, and there is no one at all. The soul of a human being in two lifetimes should be mature.

Such as good face.

How dare!

Wang Zheng, who hadn't suffered for a long time, became angry from embarrassment, his eyes were cold, and he sent an order directly:

"There is no need to build slopes!"

"I will charge later, I will personally take the head of the city!"
