Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2938 See you off at the city, the long night is coming

  Pang Youwen from Wancheng, like a spoiled child since he was a child, couldn't accept the slightest blow from the social reality. After venting his temper, he fell into complete autism.

   Tired, no more love.

   Do whatever you want!

  After yelling and cursing angrily, he closed his eyes, closed himself, and lay down to be slaughtered.

Pang Shanmin stared at Pang Youwen who was lying limp on the ground. After a long time, he shook his head, gave up communicating with him, and then waved someone to take him down. Then he would use his head to sacrifice the flag or do something else with his head Things depend on need. After Pang Youwen pointed a knife at Pang Shanmin, for Pang Shanmin, this Pang Youwen was no longer a person, but an item.

   After all, Pang Shanmin is just Pang Youwen's cousin, not his parents.

   Specifically how to use this Pang Youwen...

  For example, using Pang Youwen's men to lure Cao Jun?

  Pang Shanmin shook his head slightly. This is not easy to operate. It is better to use it to calm the resentment of ordinary people in Wancheng after the war...

   However, for Cao Jun's arrangement, we still need to prepare in advance.

  After Huang Zhongbei went out of the city gate to arrest Zhu Ye and Deng Long who had fled, but there was no follow-up, Pang Shanmin directly proposed such an idea to Huang Zhong. It's not that it can't be caught, but it will take a lot of effort, so Huang Zhong just sent a small team to follow the footprints, and Huang Zhong himself returned to Wancheng to sit in charge.

  『Cao Jun will not let go of this opportunity. Huang Zhong nodded and said, "In that case, let's just do it." 』

  Although Huang Zhong has always had a calm expression and a smooth aura, he is actually full of disgust for Cao Jun in his heart. Compared with the hussars who were promoted in the grass and healed their only seedlings, Cao Jun and his old classmate Cao basically did nothing good in Huang Zhong's eyes, and a lot of bad things...

  Liu Biao didn't do anything good, but he didn't do anything bad either. At least during the years when Liu Biao was in power in Jingzhou, Jingzhou was relatively peaceful, but after Cao Cao came, the situation in Jingzhou went from bad to worse. Do I need a government notice to prove it?

  So, Huang Zhong didn't mind teaching Cao Ren and Cao Zhen a lesson in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, to let them know that not everything goes as they wish. As for whether it will attract more and bigger Cao Jun revenge, on the one hand, Huang Zhong's family members have moved to Chang'an, and on the other hand, Huang Zhong also affirms that Pang Youwen's rebellion this time is inseparable from Cao Jun.

  After all, the direction of the wolf smoke outside the city is already very clear.

  Pang Shanmin nodded, "Someone went to assemble the small officials in the workshop to maintain order in the northern city, fight fires and provide disaster relief. The general presided over the rest of the military affairs." 』

  Huang Zhong clasped his hands and responded, "Reassure you! 』

  …m9(`Д)m9…

   As for the matter of robbing the city, in fact, Cao Jun did not do much.

  After the defeat of Yuan Shao, most of the Jizhou counties were directly robbed, similar to the fact that in the game, if the leader of one party dies and has no heirs, all the white flags, and then send two soldiers to occupy a city.

  Cao Zhen brought Xinye’s soldiers and horses here, and he planned to grab them as soon as he could. After all, if there was a civil strife in Wancheng, then Wancheng would be equivalent to a city holding a white flag, and whoever occupied it first would naturally own it.

  So the cavalry led by Cao Zhen rushed to the southern suburb of Wancheng just before dusk.

   Those who arrived earlier were naturally cavalry, and they did not have any siege equipment. Whether the city could be successfully robbed all depended on whether the civil strife inside Wancheng could open the city gate.

  『City Gate! The city gate is open! 』

  A sharp-eyed Cao cavalryman screamed with uncontrollable ecstasy.

   Everyone, including Cao Zhen, was refreshed!

  That’s right, the gate of Wancheng was opened, and there were still some corpses near the gate, obviously after a desperate battle.

  However, it is said that the gates of the city were indeed opened, but not all of them were opened, but only a gap was opened to accommodate three people in parallel, or two horses driving together, and there was obviously some problem in wanting to swarm in.

With the arrival of Cao Jun, near the city gate, I don't know who yelled, and immediately there were many people's shouts in Wancheng, and even the fireworks above Wancheng seemed to be strong. a bit...

   Far away, Cao Zhen seemed to be able to hear some mournful cries in Wancheng, as if Cao Jun's arrival immediately brought even greater chaos to Wancheng.

  Cao Zhen clenched his sword tightly.

   His heart beat faster.

  When he came to Wancheng, he really thought that if he was lucky, he might get Wancheng for nothing! But at the same time, he also admitted that it was luck...

  What counts as luck?

   Like going out and bumping into a dead dog? Or got pulled by a bird under a tree?

   Or is it like now, before arriving at Wancheng, did you find the door opened?

  I don't know why, but Cao Zhenxin suddenly felt uneasy, but he didn't know where the uneasiness came from.

The fighting at the gate of the city seems to have become weaker. Those soldiers at the gate of the city retreated into the city in a panic because of the arrival of Cao Jun, while the "friendly soldiers" at the gate of the city were directed at Cao Zhen and others. The man shouted something, still beckoning, and then followed into the city gate.

  Through the gap in the city gate, you can see a small piece of sky in Wancheng.

  Dark, filled with black smoke, the sky that is about to sink into the night.

  『General! 』

  The surrounding guards and soldiers are all looking at Cao Zhen. They didn't know the reason for Cao Zhen's hesitation, and they were also waiting for Cao Zhen's order, and even seemed a little anxious because of a little waiting.

   Fighter planes are fleeting.

If it is true that all the "friendly soldiers" at the city gate are dead, and the defenders in the city close the city gate, then they can only wait for the infantry of the follow-up army to follow up and build siege equipment before attacking the city , or you can only go back to Xinye in a desperate state...

  Cao Zhen held the saber tightly, as if he wanted to draw strength from the handle of the saber.

  Finally, Cao Zhen raised his saber and pointed at Wancheng, shouting loudly: "March!" Grab the city! 』

   No matter what, you should always try it.

  Pass by, don't miss it.

  …ヽ(｀Д)-A…

  At this moment, in fact, most of the areas in Wancheng have been pacified.

  The process of calming down is very simple and very common.

   It's just that what they pay is often the price of blood. Many soldiers who are responsible for stabilizing the market are also stained with blood all over their bodies.

   Most of these blood are not rebels, but so-called thugs.

   In other words, practitioners of zero-yuan purchases.

  No matter when and where, as long as the order is broken, there will always be some people who want to fish in troubled waters and buy for zero yuan.

  This is not just a tradition of Heige. This phenomenon occurs in most chaotic areas, and the more undeveloped the people's wisdom, the more serious this phenomenon is.

  Ignoring the law, thinking that the ignorant are innocent, and thinking that the law does not blame the public, etc., may be the reason for most zero-yuan purchases.

   Wancheng is no exception.

In Wancheng, the money of merchants is obviously more than that of ordinary people, and the suppressed envy and jealousy on weekdays are at most all kinds of gossip after dinner, but now they have turned into hatred, and when the greedy desire rises, it is also There is not much sane looting and destruction.

  In the hearts of these guys who took advantage of the fire, the lives of others are not worth a penny, only money and goods are the most important. The more chaotic they are, the happier these guys will be. As for the conflict between Pang Shanmin and Pang Youwen, or what will happen when Cao Jun comes, they don't think about it, they just want to get money and goods in front of them!

  So in the early stages of the chaos, it was the damage done by the well-known outlaw rebels, and as the chaos continued, it was more of the damage caused by these mobs.

These "thugs" may not be vicious on weekdays, and they may even be kind. At most, they have some resentment and hate some unfair things, but under certain circumstances and conditions, there are no abnormal people in these people on weekdays. , maybe at a certain moment, either because of being tempted or losing control of oneself, one will suddenly transform into a "thug".

   It's just that such "thugs" will soon be defeated when they are suppressed by regular soldiers. Because the minds of these zero-dollar buyers are scattered, and it is even more impossible for them to join forces to do some resistance. When they encounter soldiers who come to suppress them, the first thing they think of is that the dead friends will not die.

   Some ran away, and some were immersed in greed and failed to escape in time.

  The rebels were killed on the spot, and the rest were arrested and taken to Cross Street at the gate of the South City.

  Huang Zhong stood at a cross street and signaled to drive the groups of arrested zero-dollar buyers into the street. At this time, these "thugs" suddenly turned into sheep, bleating, and completely lost the fierceness of robbing property and goods before.

  『General! ’ A soldier looked at the flag erected on the top of the city, and said, ‘Cao Jun’s vanguard has arrived! 』

  Huang Zhong nodded and waved his arms.

  The pawns forming an array began to press forward to press these zero-yuan purchases.

  When the swords, shields and spears began to act on these previous perpetrators, these perpetrators immediately wailed loudly, weeping bitterly, and knelt down to pray for different things.

  The military academy in the formation looked back at Huang Zhong. Seeing that Huang Zhong was expressionless and expressionless, he gritted his teeth and went forward, stabbing to death a Lingyuanbu who was kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy.

   This zero-yuan purchase stared round, as if he couldn't believe his ending.

   Didn’t he just steal something, why did he lose his life?

  As for the other zero-yuan buyers around the dead man, there was a sudden burst of shouting, as if the knife was not only slashed on the dead man, but also on them.

Subconsciously, these people began to flee along the long street in the direction that Huang Zhong's soldiers deliberately gave way, but soon they found that the surrounding intersections were either blocked, or were shot directly by the soldiers with long guns. After stabbing back, the wailing sound rose with the smell of blood, resounding through the South Street in Wancheng, and then walked along the South Street to the South Gate...

  …(〃>dish<)…

  Cao Zhen approached the south gate of Wancheng with a brigade of cavalry.

  The fireworks in the city seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the color of the burning flames also reflected the gates of Wancheng as if they were stained with a layer of blood.

  Near the door opening, many corpses were lying here and there, and a little blood pooled under the corpses into a small puddle.

  The city is still full of noise and turmoil, and it is getting louder and louder.

  Cao Zhenxin still felt that something was wrong, but he looked up at the wall of Wancheng, the banners were crooked, and although the figures were shaking, no soldiers showed up, and no archers shot an arrow at him...

   Even though he came all the way without encountering any danger, the closer Cao Zhen was to the gate of Wancheng, the more uneasy he felt, as if the entrance of the cave was not the light full of meritorious deeds, but the mouth of an evil ghost.

  At this moment, the flames and figures in the south gate swayed, and it seemed that many people were coming towards the city gate, as if a group of soldiers were coming to block the city gate!

  『You lead the team! Grab the city gate first! ”Cao Zhen grabbed the military academy next to him and ordered, “Break the road! Take down the city gate! 』

   Cao Jun Military Academy nodded excitedly, shouted loudly, and then rushed into Wancheng with the vanguard.

   I don’t know why, Cao Zhen suddenly felt that his heartbeat was not so fast...

  But Cao Jun Military Academy didn't think so much, he just rushed towards the center of Wancheng regardless, and just rushed out of the gate of Wancheng, when he crashed into many people who looked like ordinary people in Wancheng. However, Cao Jun's cavalry ignored them and just galloped forward. Regardless of whether these civilians were armed or not, they would all cut down or knocked down mercilessly. Still screaming anxiously, but couldn't help urging his subordinates to hurry up, hurry up!

  However, how can these zero-yuan purchases that are driven away be avoided for a while?

  Under repeated collisions, the speed of Cao Jun's cavalry slowed down unknowingly. The horse had been galloping for a long time, and Cao Jun had no time to blindfold the horse, so the horse instinctively slowed down.

  As soon as the cavalry of Cao Jun slowed down, they immediately formed a congestion on Wancheng South Street.

Cao Jun's soldiers were screaming in the crowd, driving and killing those zero-yuan buyers around, but how could these Cao Jun's soldiers grow superhuman and six-armed all of a sudden, and hacked and killed all these zero-yuan buyers who were in panic do?

  Cao Zhen was outside Wancheng, and he was shocked when he saw that the soldiers inside the city gate suddenly slowed down!

   This shouldn't be the case!

   Cao Zhen suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked at the corpses near the city gate, and found that those corpses were indeed corpses, but there was not much blood!

  Even though the light was gradually dimming, under the shining fire in the city, one could clearly see that there was no blood splattered around the corpse due to the killing!

  At this moment, Cao Zhen realized what he had forgotten!

  He forgot that he originally deployed scout teams around Wancheng, but those scout teams have disappeared now! Cao Zhen buzzed in the head, and turned his head to look around quickly, only to see that there were no other people around Wancheng except for the people he brought with him!

  Those scouts were supposed to be here!

   At least you should come and gather with yourself after seeing him and arriving in Wancheng!

   And now...

  Cao Zhen pulled back the horse, and then shouted loudly: "The whole army retreats!" Back off! 』

  War horses are not people after all, and they can turn in at any time. When they are congested on the long street or at the gate of the city, it is undoubtedly very difficult to move around and turn around quickly.

As Cao Zhen realized something was wrong and wanted to evacuate, an order came from above the city gate, and immediately on both sides of the battlements, many guards with bows climbed up, and without a word, they headed down the city for a while. snapshot!

  Wancheng Huang Zhong is good at bows and arrows. These soldiers under Huang Zhong are naturally not weak in archery. Under the head covering their faces, the arrows all over the sky are like rain falling, deeply piercing into the flesh of the soldiers and horses around Cao Zhen!

  Huang Zhong's strategy is simple but effective.

  Just like those who buy at zero yuan, not everyone can be clear-headed when faced with temptation, but if they are a little careless, they will fall into a fatal abyss.

  If Cao Zhen is a little more cautious, first check the surrounding area before marching, or see the gate of Wancheng is open, but still contact the scout teams that should be near the gate first, and then make the next decision...

   Near the city gate, blood splattered all over the place, and howls shook the sky!

Arrows shot at such close range, even Cao cavalry wearing battle armor, may not be completely immune. In addition, Cao cavalry cannot choose to wear heavy armor to drive long in order to speed up, so when facing arrow rain Immediately there were heavy casualties!

  『General be careful! 』

  Cao Zhen’s loyal guards put their shield and body close to Cao Zhen, trying their best to cover Cao Zhen one after another, regardless of their exposure to the arrows.

   And the actions of these guards in a hurry made the archers on the head of Wancheng even more excited, and they changed their direction at the same time, and shot in the direction of Cao Zhen!

  Don't ask, it must be a big fish!

  The guards used their lives to protect Cao Zhen's people, but they couldn't protect Cao Zhen's war horse!

The arrows flew, and soon hit the buttocks and body of Cao Zhen's war horse. With a wail, he instinctively rushed towards a place far away from the threat, trying to squeeze out a way out, but soon because of the force Exhausted and fell to the ground!

  『The general has fallen! 』

   Cao Jun’s soldiers were in chaos, and several guards hurried forward, like human shields, yelling and blocking the arrows, and then insisted on robbing Cao Zhen, guarding them all the way and fleeing in a hurry.

Huang Zhong in the city led his men, like cutting melons and breaking bamboo, hacked and killed the soldiers of Cao Jun who had rushed into Wancheng, but because of the obstruction of the corpses, and the struggle and collision of the horses before they died, Huang Zhong boarded the city gate. When it was time to go upstairs, Cao Zhen had already fled under the protection of the guards.

  『Han Sheng still kept his hand...』Pang Shanmin did not know when he arrived at the city gate, and watched the retreat of Cao Jun, who was mostly killed and injured, "The people of Wancheng may not understand Han Sheng's compassion..."

  『Phew...』Huang Zhong sighed a long time, "If Wancheng is really destroyed... Shijun can't bear it..."

  Pang Shanmin was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine too. Teach Cao Jun a lesson, but...Cao Jun will definitely not be able to let it go...』

Cao Jun's memory is not very good, he remembers to eat but not to beat, and he has tried to offend him before, but he can't remember, or he thinks that it was before, and now he can take revenge, but he is still beaten up and swollen, screaming miserably Again and again.

  Huang Zhong patted the battlements, "Wancheng is not the most important thing in this world. The victory or defeat of this battle cannot be determined in Wancheng alone. If Cao Jun is so stupid, then he deserves to be defeated. 』

  Pang Shanmin laughed, "What Han Sheng said is true! In this way, I went back to the government office to deal with the affairs of the city. General Han Sheng might as well gather some of Cao’s wounded soldiers and captives around here, and send people to Xiangyang to see if they want to redeem them...』

  Huang Zhong also laughed, "If you don't want to redeem it at a high price, then let's ruin its morale again!" 』

  Pang Shanmin smiled and nodded, then turned and went down the city.

  Huang Zhong ordered his subordinates to deal with related matters, while he himself stood on the city wall, looking at the faint sunset glow in the sky and the darkness that was about to envelop, and sighed quietly, "The long night is coming..."
