Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 262 Fall

'If you can't beat Liu Zhang, can you still beat Cai Hao and Zhang Yun? '

At the foot of Fangling City, Zhang Lu was arrogant and proud, with a happy smile on his face. A hearty victory made him lose to Liu Zhang in front of him, and the low mood of his hasty escape from Hanzhong was swept away. , the only thing I feel now is excitement and pride.

Riding a horse, Zhang Lu circled around Fangling City and took a look at the defense of Fangling City. However, he saw that the soldiers stationed at the head of Fangling City were not very strong. They were either skinny or young. , and after his large group of troops arrived at the city, there was a lot of commotion at the top of the city for a while. The chaos was stopped only after a man dressed as a county magistrate repeatedly shouted down.

"It seems that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were too trusting and too eager to accomplish all their achievements in one battle. In this battle, all the elite soldiers stationed in Fangling were wiped out, leaving only a few old and weak people guarding Fangling County." Zhang Luchao Shen Gongdao beside him understood his deduction.

Duke Shen laughed, and mocked Cai Mao and Zhang Yun: "Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are very unwise, have no generals, and are greedy for merit. They are defeated by us. It is natural law... and now they are left behind." Fangling City was garrisoned by old and weak men. Just as the saying goes, God does not take anything but suffers the consequences. Taking advantage of a great victory, the guards at Fangling were frightened and killed them in one fell swoop."

Zhang Lu nodded: "Shen Jun's words are just what I want." As a bereaved dog, after forming an alliance with the Shen family, Zhang Lu stated that he would not invade Xicheng or Shangyong, but would use Fangling as a foothold. All his thoughts were now on Fangling. He stroked his chin and thought about how to take down Fangling.

At this moment when Zhang Lu was thinking, Zhang Wei, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others who were chasing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun returned to Fangling and informed Zhang Lu of the whereabouts of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Zhang Wei said with a gloomy look: "Those two thieves, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, are not good at fighting, but they are very good at escaping. Pu Hu and Yuan Yue and I hurriedly and slowly rushed without stopping for a moment, but every time we got close to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, , and they were all separated by Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, and they couldn't catch up no matter what... Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were now far away, and got on the building boat staying on the Han River. There was nothing we could do, so we had to come back, but Cai Hao's gold The silver armor was captured by us."

Zhang Wei pointed to two soldiers, one holding a golden helmet and the other holding a silver armor.

"It doesn't matter. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are just two rats. They escaped. It's not a big harm to us. What we need to consider now is to capture Fangling." Zhang Lu looked relaxed and was not unhappy because Cai Mao and Zhang Yun escaped. , he diverted Zhang Wei's attention to Fangling City.

Fangling County was established in the Qin Dynasty and belonged to Hanzhong County. It was the territory of the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period and was named Fangzhu. "Zuo Zhuan·11th Year of Wen Gong": "Chu Zi defeated the army, and the great intention was to defeat the army in Fangzhu." This is an ancient city, but the city's defense is not very decayed. After the arrival of Fangling County Magistrate Kuai Qi, he spent a lot of effort to repair Fangling County, but the time was relatively short, and the repairs were not very neat and complete.

"Fangling." Zhang Wei murmured these two words, and his eyes drifted towards the city wall of Fangling. His eyes revealed a burning passion. You must know that his two brothers now live in the Shen family, and there is no one. In fact, Fangling is a good choice for them.

"Capture Fangling today only." Zhang Lu said almost as if he was gritting his teeth: "Send the order to the whole army and attack the city with the ants. Taking advantage of the great victory over the Jing soldiers, we can use the momentum to capture Fangling."

After looking at the time, Zhang Wei raised his hands and said to Zhang Lu: "Brother, the walls of Fangling City are incomplete and there are many dilapidated places. We need to pile up mountains of earth and build attacking tools. We can definitely capture Fangling in ten months." After saying this, Zhang Wei said: Wei looked at Zhang Lu with burning eyes, waiting for Zhang Lu to give an order.

Now that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun fled, Cai and Zhang who boarded the building ship must have gone to Xiangyang. It will take some time to regroup and mobilize the troops. When they took advantage of this period to capture Fangling, Zhang Wei squinted his eyes and looked at it. Arrive at Fangling City.

Zhang Lu shook his head. He didn't quite agree with Zhang Wei's views: "It will take a long time to build mountains of earth and build attacking tools. Besides, winter is coming and it will snow heavily, so siege will not be very effective." Conveniently, it will be difficult to capture Fangling City... If it is delayed until the spring of next year, the soldiers of Jingchu will definitely come to help. By then, let alone capturing Fangling, it will be two things to protect ourselves. "

"What do you mean, brother?" Zhang Wei asked tentatively.

Originally, after the battle with the ghost soldiers, they needed to rest for three to five days before attacking Fangling City, but Zhang Lu had no intention of letting the ghost soldiers rest. He planned to capture Fangling today, but he did not care about the health of the soldiers. Tired, I am afraid that it is too late to attack the city now, so he moved out the reward: "At the same time, I sent an order to the whole army. If whoever is the first to climb to the top of Fangling City, I will give him three hundred gold, three levels of advancement, plus This set of gold and silver armor.”

Zhang Lu glanced at Cai Mao's gold helmet and silver armor. He decided to take this set of gold helmet and silver armor as a prize. He went to Fanglingcheng first to get the prize. Facing the well-made and beautifully styled gold helmet and silver armor, he didn't care at all. , At this moment, there is only one Fangling County in his eyes.

When Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, Yang Ang and other generals heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. They glanced at the gold helmet and silver armor, revealing their strong desire for gold helmets and silver armor. As generals, their preferences were generally the same. They like armor, BMWs, magic weapons and other things. Now that a gold helmet and silver armor are in front of them, they will not let it go. Following Zhang Lu's order and the high reward offered by Zhang Lu, the soldiers and generals under his tent forgot about their physical fatigue, moved up simple ladders, and attacked the city with the help of ants. He looked like he was preparing to be the first to board the city of Fangling County and capture Cai Mao's gold and silver armor.

"Mine, mine, mine, the gold helmet and silver armor are mine." Yuan Yue shouted greedily, raising his shield to block the rain of arrows thrown from the city top, and at the same time urging the two men following him. The famous soldiers raised the ladders in their hands to the wall of Fangling.

With a bang, the ladder leaned against the city wall of Fangling, but it did not reach the pheasant plate at the top of the city. Instead, it was a short distance away from the pheasant plate at the top of the city. This was to prevent the defenders from reaching out and pushing down the ladder. However, Although the city guards couldn't reach it, they would use hook-like objects to knock down the ladders leaning on the city wall.

The reaction time of the defenders knocking over the ladder was Yuan Yue's opportunity. Yuan Yue climbed onto the ladder regardless, held his shield up, and climbed up suddenly, as if running on flat ground, Yuan Yue Yue quickly climbed to the top of the ladder, and at this moment the city guard had just hooked the ladder.

At the moment when the defenders and Yuan Yue were decisively defeated, Yuan Yue jumped onto the pheasant plate on the top of the city, and with a hurdle move, he jumped onto the top of the city lightly, while the old and weak soldiers who defended the city responded. However, facing the menacing Yuan Yue, he retreated continuously, which made Kuai Qi, who was in command, anxious.

"Come on, come on." Kuai Qi shouted, commanding his soldiers to attack Yuan Yue, hoping to kill the arrogant man who was the first to climb the city and defend Fululing City.

Under Kuai Qi's supervision, several soldiers plucked up the courage and wielded their swords to attack Yuan Yue, a nine-foot-tall man. Relying on the strength of their numbers, these soldiers swung their swords at Yuan Yue from all directions. .

Yuan Yue climbed up to the top of the city alone. At this moment, there was no trace of fear on his face, but only the desire for gold and silver armor. When he saw several ring-headed knives swinging at him, he couldn't help but feel that he had experienced many battles. He quickly raised his shield with one hand and waved his sword with the other, and blocked them all.

After several sonorous sounds, accompanied by a shrill scream, Yuan Yue not only blocked the swords and axes that besieged him, but also took the opportunity to kill a soldier. As the soldier wailed before he fell to the ground, Yuan Yue stood in front of him. The Jing soldiers retreated one after another. They were not elites and had no intention of fighting to the death.

Kuai Qi looked pale, and he felt a little regretful. His soldiers were so miserable that he should have escaped with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. However, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were relatives of Liu Biao, but he was not. He was just a descendant of the Kuai family. , because of his talents and reputation, he was able to serve as the magistrate of Fangling County. If Fangling was lost, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun would be fine, but he was afraid of being severely punished. Even if his uncle Kuai Yue said Xiang, he would be indispensable. A beating with a stick will mean you will no longer have any job in the future.

This is why Kuai Qi gave up Cai Mao's persuasion and decided to stay in Fangling. But staying in Fangling has no good results. Just like now, with Yuan Yue gaining a foothold on the city wall, more and more people The enemy troops stood on the top of the city.

'Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, you have harmed me! ! ! Kuai Qi was troubled in his heart and his face was gloomy.

After cursing, Kuai Qi decided to make a final struggle. He took out the sword from his waist and planned to die like a man. He would not lose Kuai's face, but rather give Kuai a boost of face and make Kuai's reputation famous. In the land of Jingxiang.

But Kuai Qi's swordsmanship is not very good. At the same time, the enemy he is targeting is not as tall as Yuan Yue, but he is also the best among the people. He is the Qushuai Pu Hu of the people.

Pu Hu raised his shield to block Kuai Qi's sword move, then reversed the blade of the sword in his hand, turned the back of the sword outward, and struck Kuai Qi. Seeing Kuai Qi's appearance, he knew that Kuai Qi was a noble person. , and for valuable people, there are two prices for capturing them alive and beheading them. If they are captured alive, they can be exchanged for money, but if they are beheaded, it is just a simple head.

Seeing Kuai Qi attacking from the front, Pu Hu was still a little worried, worried that Kuai Qi would have some martial arts skills and would be difficult to capture alive, but after one move, he easily knocked Kuai Qi down with his knife.

"That's it?" Pu Hu complained contemptuously and was knocked down by him. Kuai Qi was now unconscious on the ground. Pu Hu then commanded his subordinate Erlang to tie up Kuai Qi and at the same time ordered him to leave. Go to the tower and open the city gate.

Fangling, get off!
