Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 202 Use the pawns to create momentum to attract the world

Chen Da saw Feng Yao on the high platform clearly from a distance, and a bitter taste passed in his heart.

"It's a pity that these honors don't belong to me, Chen Da! Nor do they belong to these brothers who have the same fate as me!" Chen Da sighed.

Chen Da was a surrendered pawn, one of the defenders of the original Yang'an City who voluntarily left the city to surrender.

At this moment, for unknown reasons, the two thousand soldiers were brought to the front of the formation, but they lined up on the outermost side of each square formation.

"If only I could have this opportunity! It's a pity that I was just a blacksmith. Although I have strong arms, I only became a corporal leader, and now I am a pawn! If I voted at the very beginning It would be great to join Feng Yaojun! Then I can also fight for the position of county magistrate!" Chen Da thought.

Just when Chen Da was disheartened, cheers suddenly rang out from all around, and Yang An, who had been listless just now, was all cheering, raising his hands and shouting loudly: "Attack! Attack! Attack!..."

"What's going on?" Chen Dara asked one of his soldiers with a puzzled expression.

"Captain! Didn't you hear?" the soldier asked in surprise with a happy expression on his face.

Seeing Chen Da shaking his head, the soldiers couldn't restrain their excitement and said loudly: "Captain! We have hope. Just now Governor Feng said that our army should take the lead as the first wave of troops to attack the city!!"

"What's the matter?"

"Captain! If one of us can be the first to attack the city, he will be the magistrate of Yang'an in the future!! Hahahaha!" The soldiers laughed.

Chen Da's body shook violently, and he said with great joy, "Is this true? Are we actually the first?"

"Yes! Corporal!" The soldier shouted.

For the next moment, Chen Da was completely immersed in excitement.

After a while, as the soldiers said, Yang'an's soldiers were the first to attack the city.

At the time of surrender, all the weapons of the soldiers were confiscated. After receiving the order, the generals in front quickly led the team and formed a long queue. After passing through a tent full of weapons and equipment, everyone will receive a set of equipment.

Chen Da received a piece of cloth armor, a small shield that can be worn on the elbow, a plain knife, and a pair of cloth gloves.

Chen Da didn't know the name of the cloth glove at first, so he asked curiously. Although the soldier in charge of distributing the cloth glove didn't know Chen Da, he still smiled and said, "This is a cloth glove, worn on his hand!" Then, I also made a demonstration.

After Chen Da understood it, he put on the gloves and tried it, and he felt a lot more stable. He smiled and said, "This thing is really not bad. If you use it to beat iron masters, you won't be afraid of being burned by sparks!"

The soldiers around burst into laughter.

While gathering and moving forward, Chen Da tried the small shield again. The small shield was tied directly to his arm, so he could hold it without his hands, which was very helpful for climbing the ladder.

The cloth armor is Feng Yaojun's uniform system, mainly used to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. The steel fire of the simple knife is also very good. Chen Da lightly touched the small shield with the knife, and cut a small line on the small shield.

After all the soldiers had received their equipment, the horns of the army rang out from the middle army.

Chen Da's figure was submerged in the thousands of troops.

high platform

Feng Yao was wearing a red cloak and stood in the middle, Xu Shu, Xu Chu and others stood behind him, observing the changes on the battlefield and issuing orders in time.

At this time, the two thousand soldiers who were attacking the city were only half a mile away from the city wall, and if they went a little further, they would be within the range of the bow and crossbow at the top of the city.

"My lord, is it really okay to send these soldiers? If they really break into the city and take it down, who is the county magistrate of Yang'an?" Liu Shun asked.

Feng Yao nodded and said: "Liu Shun, most of these soldiers are locals, and most of them are familiar with each other. Sending them to fight can quickly turn Yang'an City's defenders and greatly reduce the casualties of our army! You must know our The goal is not this small city, but the whole world, so every ounce of strength cannot be easily lost! After ten years of war in Yuzhou, the population loss is too great, and it urgently needs to be settled down!"

"The local status of these soldiers can be more conducive to controlling the city, and if these soldiers can become county magistrates with their own military exploits, they will definitely be loyal to me!"

"The subordinate understands!" Liu Shun said.

At this time, the soldiers at the front of the army were about to enter the enemy's range, Feng Yao immediately ordered the army to start beating drums.

With the sound of drums, the morale of the whole army was boosted!
"Charge!!" The leading general of the former army yelled loudly, and in an instant the army roared and accelerated suddenly.

kill! !
A ladder rushed out first, and the rest of the infantry followed closely behind.

The defenders at the head of Yang'an City exclaimed, "Shoot! Shoot!"

However, the fingers that are stiff from the cold will ache after just pulling the bowstring. Most archers only draw the bow halfway, and then let go, and the bow and arrow fly not far away before falling off.

Only the crossbow arrows placed on the top of the city, under the joint efforts of several people, can fire three powerful crossbow arrows each time, taking away the lives of several enemy soldiers who attacked the city.

The sound of the war drums became more and more urgent, until the blood spurted out!
Feng Yao saw that the striker had almost absorbed the enemy's firepower, so he patted Xu Chu on the back: "Zhongkang, it's your turn! Remember, after entering the city, you are not allowed to accept the surrendered soldiers! Kill them all on the spot!! I've given them a chance!!"

Xu Chu was overjoyed, and immediately obeyed his orders, leading the tiger guards to leave the camp.

"Wei Yan!"

"The subordinate is here!" Wei Yan immediately accepted the order.

"This time Yang'an City is broken, I will give you a fat job! You immediately lead a large army to wait for orders. Once the city gate is opened, you lead the army into the city quickly and kill all the wealthy gentry who can leave the city but have not left the city. No men will be kept! Of all the money and food, the soldiers who participated in the massacre will get [-]%! The other [-]% will be truthfully recorded in the register, and the houses, land, slaves, etc. will be recorded separately for military use!" Feng Yao said.

Wei Yan followed the order.

"Also, this massacre of the city is of great importance. It is absolutely not allowed to hurt civilians or poor scholars, but it is also not allowed to let go of any wealthy and powerful local tyrants!! Confiscated money and food slaves, etc., Anyone who dares to report falsely will be punished according to military discipline!" Feng Yao added sternly.

Wei Yan's body trembled, and he respectfully obeyed, mobilized his [-] troops, and roared forward.

At this time, under the Yangshou city, the battle had already entered a fever pitch. Rolling stones and arrows rained down from the top of the city. As soon as the ladder was erected, before Chen Da stepped forward, several soldiers rushed up to it.

Chen Da yelled, and then followed. At this moment, a huge stone weighing tens of catties suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and it rolled down the ladder suddenly. The two soldiers in the front rolled down the ladder with a scream, and fell down. Go down, plop, and fall half dead.

After the boulder knocked down the two people, it also turned to one side. At this time, there were two soldiers in front of Chen Da. They all shouted loudly to embolden themselves, and quickly climbed up again.

Chen Da looked down again, and at the bottom of the ladder, there were four soldiers who were still holding onto the ladder tightly to prevent the ladder from slipping, so he heaved a sigh of relief, gave a drink, and climbed up with all his might.
