Chapter 486: Outwit the Witch City
,,,,,,,,,,,,
After a while, a man jumped off the wall and bowed to Pang Tong, "I am the former military officer Zhao Zhi, the Marquis of the Army, and was ordered to protect the military advisor."
Pang Tong knew this person, one of Fu Shiren's confidants, and he asked coldly: "How many people are there in total?"
"About twenty brothers."
"Hmph, I don't need your protection. I will leave the mansion and leave no one, so I'll get out of here." Pang Tong was furious in his heart, and at the end he couldn't help but yell.
Zhao Zhi was silent for a while and said, "I am not a military commander, please forgive me."
He ignored Pang Tong and turned around and walked out of the hospital. Pang Tong was so angry that he almost fainted. He barely calmed down and immediately turned around and ordered: "Prepare a horse for me."
Pang Tongyi rode his horse and arrived at the military yamen for a moment. He turned over and got off the horse, walked up the steps quickly, and rushed straight inside. The guards hurriedly wanted to stop him, "Military advisor, please let us report."
"Get out of here"
Pang Tong pushed away the guard and rushed in. He knew very well that Fu Shiren was afraid that he would compete for power with him, so he sent someone to monitor him. Liu Bei bullied him and Liu Feng bullied him. Thinking that even Fu Shiren was bullying him now, Pang Tong finally couldn't bear it anymore. This time he must ask for an explanation.
He threw away several personal soldiers and quickly walked to Fu Shiren's official room, but he faintly heard the laughter of a woman from the room. He felt even more angry. The enemy was facing, and Fu Shiren dared to find a woman.
With a loud bang, Pang Tong kicked open the door. In the room, General Fu Shiren was hugging two naked women and drinking. Pang Tong rushed in. The two women screamed in fear, jumped up and hid behind the window curtain.
Fu Shiren slowly stood up and stared at Pang Tong with some anger, "Mr. Pang, what does it mean that you trespassed into my room?"
Pang Tong was so angry that his chest was fluctuating violently, and he shouted loudly: "The enemy is in front of you, you don't want to defend yourself, but you are drinking wine here. How do you explain to the emperor?"
"Hmph, it's my business, it has nothing to do with you, pull him out."
Several soldiers grabbed Pang Tong, and Pang Tong struggled to break free from them and shouted: "I don't care whether you drink or not, but why should you send someone to monitor me? You are bold and reckless, I must let the emperor's uncle uphold justice."
Fu Shiren raised his head and laughed. He picked up a pigeon letter from the table and threw it to Pang Tong, "This is the order the emperor just sent, you can see it yourself."
Pang Tong picked up the pigeon letter and opened it. He hurriedly read it, and was stunned. All suspicious people inside were monitored, no matter what position they hold.
Is this talking about himself? Pang Tong couldn't believe the letter he saw.
Fu Shiren said coldly: "Mr. Pang, I might as well tell you the truth. Your uncle surrendered to Cao Cao, causing the wife and the little lord to fall. The emperor's uncle had long suspected you, so he sent you to Wucheng and secretly ordered the public to monitor you. I saw the emperor's uncle's letter with my own eyes. Do you think you are really the deputy military advisor Pang Shiyuan? You are so naive."
Pang Tong stood there blankly without saying a word, and felt extremely sad in his heart. He finally understood why Zhao Yun was forced to surrender to Liu Jing.
He finally understood why Liu Bei ignored his suggestions. He felt that all his thoughts were gone and slowly said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave General Fu, please let me leave the city."
Fu Shiren shook his head, "You know a lot, I won't allow you to leave the city, someone will come."
He shouted loudly, pointed at Pang Tongling and said, "Closing this person for me."
The personal soldiers took action together and dragged Pang Tong down. From a distance, they heard Pang Tong scold him: "Pang Shiyuan, you are really blind, you deserve it."
Fu Shiren laughed, "These sour scholars are really interesting."
.........
At night, an army of more than two people escorted several deer carts and finally arrived at Wucheng. Wucheng was the original Wu County. The walls were dilapidated and short, and they collapsed.
Liu Bei began to rebuild the city two years ago, and built it tall and sturdy. He dug a deep trench in front of the east and west city gates and installed a suspension bridge, making the witch city more difficult to attack.
It is precisely because it is difficult to attack the city, so it becomes the choice of the Jingzhou army. The team that returned to deliver food was naturally the Eagle Strike Army led by Liu Zheng. They disguised themselves as a grain-delivery convoy to return to Wucheng and used this to open the city gate.
Two soldiers pushed the captured grain protection army commander forward, pressed his back with a dagger, and whispered: "I shouted that the city will open the door, I dare to make a ghost, and I will stab you to death with one knife."
The head of the village had no choice but to shout loudly: "Which brother is on duty at the top of the city?"
The soldiers on the city had seen them and immediately reported to Fu Shiren who was patrolling the city. Although Fu Shiren imprisoned Pang Tong, he was also worried that the Bashu army would attack Wucheng, so he inspected the West City. He heard that the grain delivery convoy had returned, so he rushed over.
Fu Shiren looked down and seemed to have a little more troops, so he asked, "Is it Zhutun Chief?"
"It's a humble position, and I'm back from sending food"
"Have you met your elder brother?" Fu Shiren asked again.
"When I saw this, my eldest son was very dissatisfied and said that the food was far from enough. He was going to cut off food and urged the general to increase his efforts to deliver food."
Fu Shiren smiled bitterly. It was Liu Feng's decision not to send more food at the beginning. Now he thinks there is not enough food, so what should he do if he asks him to do.
He had no choice but to smile bitterly and ordered the soldiers to say, "Kaicheng"
Fu Shiren had no doubt that the Jingzhou army could not come from the east unless they flew over.
The city gate slowly opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the civilians pushed the deer cart and began to enter the city. For the soldiers guarding the city, this was an ordinary scene. No one was interested in these civilians. Many soldiers impatiently urged the civilians to "get away quickly"
Fu Shiren walked down the corridor, "Zhutun Chief, what exactly does Feng Gong say?" He was not interested in these civilians, and he was more concerned about Liu Feng's attitude. It can be said that Liu Feng's attitude was related to his future prospects, and Fu Shiren did not dare to take it lightly at all.
At this moment, a soldier in the corridor suddenly discovered that these civilians were a little abnormal. Several civilians actually showed armor under their clothes. The soldier was so shocked that he shouted, "General, they are not civilians."
This shout caused the situation at the city gate to change suddenly. I originally waited for everyone to take action before entering the city, but it was too late. A burly civilian shouted: "Take it."
Several civilians pulled out weapons from under the deer cart and rushed towards the defenders beside them. They were all the most elite soldiers of the Jingzhou army. They were like tigers going down the mountain and rushed into the defenders. In an instant, screams came, and dozens of soldiers were suddenly in different places.
Liu Zheng, who was entering the city, heard the shouts of killing from the city. He knew that there was a change and immediately shouted: "Brothers, go into the city."
Nearly two soldiers pulled out their battle knives and rushed into the city shouting, and inside and outside the city gate fell into chaos.
Fu Shiren also reacted at the same time. While running towards the city, he shouted: "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly."
More than a dozen soldiers pushed the winch and tried to close the city gate, but the city gate was stuck in a deer cart and could not move. The city gate made a harsh creaking sound, but it could not be closed.
A soldier shouted anxiously to Fu Shiren: "General, the city gate can no longer be closed."
Fu Shiren held the city with both hands and stared at the terrifying scene under the city. He saw with his own eyes that these enemy troops were as fierce as leopards. Just five or six people killed nearly ten of his soldiers, causing a burst of cold sweat to pop out of his back.
"General, the city gate can't be closed."
The soldiers shouted again, Fu Shiren woke up in a dream, and he hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly thought of another more serious problem, that is, the army. It was just midnight now, there were only more than two defenders in the East City Gate, and the rest of the army were resting in the barracks. Without support, how long could they last.
He urgently ordered the soldiers: "Roll the alarm bell quickly."
The rapid alarm bell of "Dangdang" sounded, and the bell spread throughout the city and into the military camp located in the city.
But even if the army arrived at the Dongcheng Gate at this time, it was too late. More than five eagle attackers swept across the Dongcheng Gate like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Fu Shiren saw that the situation was despair, fled to the west gate.
He understood in his heart that even if all the two thousand defenders in his city were dispatched, they would not be the opponent of these five enemy troops. The Wucheng was over.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Fu Shiren was still thinking about how to please Liu Feng and gain his future, but now, he just wants to escape from Wucheng, and he can escape as far as he can...
The chaos at the East City Gate finally attracted the main force of the defenders. One thousand five people were quickly rushing towards the East City Gate. It was already two o'clock, and the streets were empty and there were only bursts of rapid footsteps coming from afar.
Groups of soldiers in armor were rushing towards the murderous aura with swords and guns in their hands. At this time, the battle at the East City Gate had ended. The ground was covered with blood and corpses. The city gate was closed, and the corridors on both sides of the city were blocked by big trees and huge rocks. However, the blood was extremely quiet and there was no one to be seen.
The supportive army looked at the mess all over the ground in surprise. Everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts, where did the enemy attacks go?
At this moment, a scream came from the soldiers behind, and dense arrows shot from behind like a storm. Large numbers of defenders fell under the dense arrows, causing chaos in reinforcements.
