Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 201 195. Changsha City Falls
There was chaos in the city, and the news of various sinister forces attacking each other was soon known to the Han army outside the city.

"Commander-in-chief, Changsha City is indeed in chaos, but it seems to be more chaotic than we imagined."

Bao Feng took several elite scouts to investigate the situation and reported back to Ma Su. Even Ma Su could not fully anticipate the changes in the city, and only thought that the rebels could not stand Han Teng's tyranny and rose up.

"There is no time to lose. We must mobilize the troops immediately. General Bao, you will lead 3,000 men to attack Changsha's north gate immediately."

After a moment's thought, Ma Su immediately handed over most of the remaining troops to Bao Feng, and asked him to be responsible for attacking Changsha.

"Commander-in-chief, could this be another of Han Teng's evil plots, deliberately pretending to cause civil unrest, in order to actually wait for our army to fall into his trap?"

Bao Feng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out his thoughts. After all, Han Teng was so vicious that he could drown his own army, so it seemed possible for him to deliberately create a fake rebellion, right?
"It's difficult. Unlike the water plan, although water and fire are ruthless, they also don't have their own ideas. If Han Teng deliberately incites such a rebellion, it may backfire.

Even if we take a step back, General Bao, even if Han Teng deliberately had someone fake this, I'm afraid some people will really fall for it and turn against Han Teng."

Ma Su was just thinking about whether Han Teng would play a trick to lure the snake out of its hole. But after a brief analysis, Ma Su concluded that it was impossible.

Throughout history, those who dare to do this must be forces with the local military and civilians united and supported by the people. Otherwise, a fake rebellion can easily turn into a real rebellion, and many people will follow suit and join the rebellion. By then, before the enemy is attracted, the internal situation will be unstable.

At present, Changsha Governor Han Xuan, if not kind-hearted, is a man who kills without blinking an eye. The people under his rule have fear, fear, and disgust for him, but absolutely no respect or love for him. Seeing someone raise the banner of rebellion at this moment, it is too late to respond, so how can he remain calm?

Therefore, Ma Su was not worried that this was Han Teng's conspiracy. If it was true, Han Teng would probably kill himself first.

After Ma Su's brief explanation, Bao Feng suddenly realized what was going on. Without saying a word, he immediately led 3,000 well-rested soldiers to charge towards the north gate of Changsha, where the terrain was relatively flat.

The North Gate of Changsha has an inextricable relationship with the Han army. In the past, Guan Yu fought a fierce battle with Huang Zhong here, which triggered a series of events and finally led to Wei Yan killing Han Xuan and opening the city to surrender.

Times have changed, and this moment is exactly the same as that moment, but the generals on both sides have changed.

Bao Feng led his troops across the Xiangjiang River to the open area at the north gate of Changsha. He looked up at the top of the city wall and saw that there was indeed chaos. Soldiers wearing the same armor were fighting each other, making a lot of noise.

"attack!"

When Bao Feng saw this situation, he knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he swung his iron hammer and the soldiers pushed the ladders and rushed towards the north gate of Changsha like a tide.

"The Han army is attacking!"

In the chaos, no one knew who howled, but everyone was so angry that few people cared about what the man said and continued to fight. However, the border defense force deployed by the Zhao family in advance had a relatively complete organizational system. At this moment, they naturally saw the Han army approaching the city wall, so under the leadership of the leading lieutenant, they deliberately moved closer to the winch that operated the suspension bridge, intending to cooperate with the outside.

In this chaotic situation, the Zhao family's army of a few hundred people was still a team with high combat effectiveness. They slowly but surely advanced a lot towards the capstan. Although the defense near the capstan on the city wall should have been the most stringent, everyone was playing the Unlimited Weapons Competition now. Who had the time to guard the capstan?
Bao Feng had just filled a section of the moat and was about to set up the ladder when he discovered that the suspension bridge that had been raised high had been lowered.

Bao Feng did not hesitate and ordered his soldiers to immediately cut the ropes of the suspension bridge to avoid an enemy trick, and then continued to attack from both the city wall and the city gate.

Originally, the city gate needed the help of soldiers to defend it to resist the enemy's attack. Now no one in the city cared about the Han army outside the city. After a few rounds of fierce attacks, the Han army easily broke open the city gate and climbed up the city wall at the same time, attacking from both sides at the same time.

"General, please don't fight! We are the confidants of the Zhao family in the city. We don't want to fight to the death with Han Teng, the villain, so we specially lowered the drawbridge to help our Han army break into the city!"

Bao Feng led the charge into the city, and the Zhao family's soldiers immediately surrendered to this Han army general who looked so brave to avoid death on the eve of victory.

Bao Feng nodded, and Ma Su also gave an explanation for this. Those who were unwilling to fight a desperate battle with Han Teng should be spared. Otherwise, if they were forced into a corner, they would definitely become like Han Teng, and then things would not be good.

"Put down your weapons and stay here. Our Han army will protect your safety. Don't make mistakes."

Bao Feng gave a few casual instructions and led his soldiers into the city from the main road.

The Han army charged forward while shouting slogans such as "Put down your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed," while clearing out the disorderly troops and even mobs on the streets.

Many people saw that the Han army had already entered the city, so they simply laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Han army. After all, they had rebelled to save their lives, and now that the Han army's leader had arrived, there was no need for them to rebel anymore. If they were killed by the Han army as Changsha soldiers, wouldn't they have nowhere to complain?

Of course, there were also those young and foolish people who were bloodthirsty and wanted to kill anyone they saw, no matter if you were Han Teng, your enemies or the Han army. Naturally, these people were regarded as the remnants of Han Teng by the well-trained Han army and were killed on the spot without any mercy.

Soon, on the main road leading to the prefectural governor's mansion, Bao Feng finally encountered organized resistance. Unlike the chaotic mobs before, the area around the prefectural governor's mansion was obviously still under Han Teng's actual control. The people responsible for the defense were Han Teng's personal guards and family soldiers, so they were not affected at all, and even repelled several waves of chaotic troops that intended to attack the prefectural governor's mansion.

However, at this time they were facing the regular army of the Han army, and the leader was Bao Feng, a brave general who had made many contributions in the battles with Jiangdong and Cao Wei, rather than some unknown soldier.

"Kill! Capture the governor's mansion and capture Han Teng alive!"

Bao Feng brandished his iron hammer and led his soldiers to charge towards Han Teng's last defensive position.

Although Han Teng and his servants had higher combat effectiveness than the mobs, they were still not up to the task of facing the Jingzhou army head-on. They were quickly swallowed up by the Jingzhou army that surged in like a tide and dissipated like snowflakes.
