Zhang Fei shook off his arms. The drums of war were blasted at sky-high prices. The morale of the Han army was immediately boosted. Flocked to the city of Lujiang like a tide. Braving the rain of arrows. Wave after wave rushed towards the city. Lujiang City has been shaky.
but. Yuan Jun, who defended the city, did not give up. Still defended by risk. Caused heavy casualties to the Han army. Young soldiers kept falling under the city wall. Never got up again.
Zhang Fei had already said it in front of Zhang Xi. We must win Lujiang City tonight. See this situation. Could not help being furious. He threw away the drumsticks in his hand abruptly. He picked up Zhang Ba Snake Spear. Jump on the horse. Roared. Speeding towards the city of Lujiang. Zhang Xi wanted to stop. It's too late. I can only watch him rush through the moat. Climbed up the long ladder erected on the city wall.
Fighting tiger brothers. Father and son soldiers in battle. Although Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei are just married brothers. But these years, under the inspiration of Liu Xin, his big brother. The feelings between each other are definitely better than brothers. Seeing Zhang Fei kiss the arrow. Dangerous. Zhang Xi couldn't hold back either. Loudly shouted: "Zhang Anyi is here."
Zhang Ren gave his hand right away. Said: "The end will be."
Zhang Yun waved his hand. Said: "You immediately lead your team to help each other."
Although Zhang Fei had something to say first. Don't let Zhang Yun interfere. He had to rely on the power of the Second Army to take down this Lujiang City alone. Of course. If it takes a few more days to attack slowly. With the combat power of the Second Army. This Lujiang City will definitely be beaten down. But Zhang Fei came from Dabie Mountain. Only 40,000 horses were brought. A part of it will be stationed in Yulou County. Only 30,000 people were left besieging Lujiang City. Coupled with Zhang Fei's blind attack regardless of casualties. It seems a little nervous in terms of strength. If the Third Army doesn't make a move anymore. Their casualties will be even greater.
It's not that Zhang Xi didn't want to rush up in person. But Zhang Fei has already rushed to the forefront. A general in the rear also needs to be in command. As for Zhang Fei's misunderstanding that he is robbing him of credit. Zhang Xi can't even think about it now. Quickly picked up the drumsticks Zhang Fei threw on the ground. The drum of war was beaten vigorously.
Erected on the long ladder beside the city wall. Zhang Fei quickly climbed up. The Han soldier in front of him saw that he had reached the battlements with one hand. Seven or eight spears pierced all at once. The soldier screamed. Fall down to the city.
Zhang Fei was furious. The snake spear swung sharply. Swing away the spear. Throw away the arrow. Two more steps up. suddenly. A thick-mouthed log slammed it over. Zhang Fei yelled. A snake spear. Is picking on the log. Rolling wood volleyed somersault. A "boom" fell in the moat. There was a big splash of water.
The defenders above the city were shocked by Zhang Fei's bravery. For a while, I forgot the action. They were all stunned there. Take advantage of this moment. Zhang Fei jumped up from the long ladder. Feishen landed on the head of the city. The snake spear flew up and down. In a blink of an eye, they stabbed the defenders who hadn't recovered to the ground.
Zhang Fei held a snake spear in his hand. Standing at the head of the city. All hair and beards. Give a loud shout. It's like a god descending. Hong Ruo rushed to the thunder even more with this cry. Some of the timid defenders collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Seeing that Zhang Fei had already made a clearing at the top of the city. The soldiers of the Han army are even more courageous. Morale is like a rainbow. The shouts were higher than the waves. Swarming up the city. Relying on the "bridgehead" laid by Zhang Fei. The soldiers of the Han army swiftly killed on both sides. The defenders who had held on for most of the day collapsed instantly. Lujiang City was finally broken.
Although the city is broken. Zhang Fei and others were not idle. Lujiang City is still brightly lit after nightfall. Han soldiers guarded the streets and lanes everywhere. Carpet-style raids were carried out from house to house. All this is because Yuan Shu has not been arrested yet. Zhang Fei has ordered. Digging the ground three feet will also catch Yuan Shu. Except Yuan Shu. Liu Bang must also be found as soon as possible. Even if he has died in the chaos. His body must also be found. Otherwise, there is no way to explain to Liu Xin.
In Zhang Fei's eyes. The Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third master is nothing at all. Yuan Shu himself was nothing more than a jumping clown. What they are concerned about is the jade seal that has been lost for a long time. now. The entire Lujiang City had long been surrounded by Zhang Fei and Zhang Yun army. There is no need to worry that Yuan Shu will escape from the city.
but. There are still tens of thousands of people in Lujiang City. If the city is besieged for a long time. People's lives are more than just being affected. Even unsustainable is possible. Both Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi know that Liu Xin has always valued people's hearts. He will never disturb the people in order to search for a few fugitives. They serve as the generals of the three armies. They had to carry out a search overnight. It is to minimize the impact on the people.
News of the capture of Lujiang was reported to Liu Xin that night. Jushou asked nervously, "What's wrong with Young Master Liu Bang. But Zeng was rescued."
When I said this. Jushou's voice was obviously trembling. Liu Xin frowned. I don't understand what he was so nervous for. Is it true that Liu Bang is regarded as his son? Are you so nervous
The visitor clasped his hands and said: "The sky was dark at the time. The situation on the top of the city is unknown. The whereabouts of Young Master Liu Bang was lost in the chaos army. Two generals are searching around the city."
Jushou groaned and said: "Enlighten the lord. Lujiang Xinke. Yuan Shu has been operating there for many years. It should be the top priority to comfort the people. The subordinates ask the lord to go north overnight. As long as the lord is there, the people's hearts are naturally determined."
Liu Xin always felt that there was something in Ju's speech. It is definitely not as simple as to appease people's hearts. but. Lujiang is Yuan Shu's lair. Lay down Lujiang. His strategy in this area came to an end. You can also go to the Western Regions with confidence. Liu Xin immediately agreed to Jusho's suggestion. Immediately ordered to set off to Lujiang.
When the sky is bright. Liu Xin and his party finally arrived outside Lujiang City. On the head of the city. The black "Chinese" flag fluttered in the wind. Hundreds of soldiers lined up at the gate of the city. Highly guarded. The whole Lujiang City is still only allowed to enter but not to leave. of course. At this moment. Ordinary people will not have trouble looking for trouble to enter this Lujiang City.
When Liu Xin and the others were still on the way. I ran into a few scouts and outposts. Therefore, Zhang Fei, Zhang Xi and others have long been informed.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi greet them at the gate of the city. See Liu Xin. All salutes: "Big Brother. I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Liu Xin waved at them. Said: "Such a big thing has happened. How can the elder brother not rush over in person."
Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi glanced at each other. I don't quite understand what Liu Xin said. Had to bite the bullet and let Liu Xin into the city.
Walking on the streets of Lujiang City. I saw the doors of every household closed tightly. The streets in Cangwei are guarded by Han soldiers with guns. Teams of soldiers can also be seen hurriedly passing by on the street at any time. But no one can be seen. Liu Xin frowned. Shen Sheng said: "What. Yuan Shu hasn't caught it yet."
Zhang Fei grinned. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, big brother. Yuan Shu's boyfriend changed into a commoner. He hid in the wood shed of a commoner's house. He thought he was perfectly dressed. But unexpectedly, he was reported by the commoner. He was arrested in the middle of the night."
Liu Xin said in surprise: "Oh. The people in Lujiang City are quite knowledgeable about current affairs."
Zhang Xi laughed and said: "Big brother knows something. Let's let people shout in the streets and alleys overnight. As long as we can't catch Yuan Shu for a day. All the people in the city are not allowed to go out. Even if the people have more money in their homes, how much grain can be saved. If Don't go out. Eating is a problem. Who will help Yuan Shu hide."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "The common people are not having an easy life. It is very inappropriate to do this. Only this time. Not as an example. Also. Since Yuan Shu has been caught. Why are you so guarded?"
Zhang Fei yelled: "Big Brother. My big nephew has not been found yet."
"Big nephew." Liu Xin was taken aback. Soon I understood. Nodded. "You mean Liu Bang. Now that Yuan Shu has been caught. Let the brothers remove all the guards. You can't affect the lives of tens of thousands of people in this city just because Liu Bang is alone."
Because this siege was initiated by Zhang Fei. Will Liu Bang die in the rebellion? He can't guarantee it either. At war. He only knows to rush forward blindly. Now the battle is over. Zhang Fei began to worry. but. Seeing that Liu Xin didn't seem to care about Liu Bang's whereabouts very much. Zhang Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "There is also the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, and I haven't found it. Yuan Shu is very arrogant. He threatened that we will never find the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom in this life. So..."
Liu Xin's face sank. Said: "The Jade Seal is important or the lives of the people are important. Anyway, it is not a day or two to pass the Jade Seal of the country. It is better if you can find it. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. The order continues. Except for the four gates. The rest of the guard posts will be removed. Only in the city. Arrange more patrols by soldiers. In addition, the people are allowed to come and go freely. Shops are opened as usual. Except for intensified investigations at the city gates, it is not allowed to deliberately create difficulties."
Jushou opened his mouth. Seems to say something. Finally held back. He still doesn't know what Liu Xin thinks. Some things are really bad to say to Liu Xinming. but. He holds the Phantom Spy in his hands. The soldiers searched without results. Maybe using the Phantom Secret Spy can have unexpected gains. In short. Liu Bang's existence is a hidden danger. Find him out anyway. Live to meet people. To die to see the corpse. This is Jushou's mind at this moment.
Yuan Shu was taken into the hall. Also brought in with him was General Yang, who advised him many times. While staying at Lujiang and a few warriors. Except for Le, he was shot to death by Tai Shici. Zhang Xun and Chen Ji have also died in the rebellion.
yesterday morning. Yuan Shu led General Yang to escape from the city in embarrassment. Hidden into the mansion. Although he is emperor. But no palace was built. Not because he knows to empathize with the suffering of the people. Can't bear to start construction. But Lujiang City is too small. It is not suitable as a capital at all. So he still lives in the original prefectural mansion. And now he was brought here again. It's just that it's no longer high above the bottom. Instead, he became a prisoner.
