Chapter 862 Yongchang Falls
Zhou Tong suddenly felt a stream of blood rushing into his throat, and couldn't help but spew out a large mouthful of blood. It was as if the blood had taken away all his strength. He felt dizzy and sat on the ground with a thud, and his consciousness was a little blurred. At this time, other officers and soldiers also fell to the ground and vomited blood. Zhou Tong was very shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't understand what poison it was. It was so powerful. In just a blink of an eye, everyone was not going to be able to do it. Then, the thought of infinite self-blame arose in his heart.
He just felt that he couldn't bear to face it? In such a situation, it was no big deal to die. It was all his own fault, but he had to suffer so many brothers to die with him. Even if he could escape this disaster, he would have no face to live in this world. Then he thought about the safety of Yongchang County. He felt that those rebellious acts were naturally not to kill them, such as Qin soldiers, but to seize Yongchang County. Zhou Tong only felt that he was extremely guilty and had let down the trust of King Qin and General Zhang Liao!
At this time, a team of patrol soldiers returned to the camp. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were shocked! The captain asked his men to save the people quickly. Then he saw Zhou Tong, who was almost dead not far away, rushed forward, squatted down, and shouted anxiously: "General! General!..."
Zhou Tong saw the captain named Fang Ze, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed Fang Ze's shoulder, and tried his best, "Go away! Go to the Ailao Fortress! Tell Zhao Bin, the Red Bat rebelled, you must guard the Ailao Fortress and wait for reinforcements to arrive!..." When he said this, he sprayed out a mouthful of blood, and his head tilted and lost it. Fang Ze was shocked and shouted anxiously: "Commander! Commander!..." Zhou Tong was dead, so how could he respond to him.
At this moment, a huge shout came from outside. Fang Ze couldn't help but stand up and look out of the military camp. A soldier rushed over anxiously and reported to the report: "Captain, the Red Bat Chief Secretary led thousands of people to the open fire. I don't know what he wanted to do?"
Fang Ze frowned and cursed, "This rebellious!" Seeing the corpses of his comrades on the ground, endless anger surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to rush out to fight those rebellions! However, Zhou Tong's words just now suddenly echoed in his ears. Fang Ze suddenly calmed down a lot, only to feel that Yongchang County could no longer be defended, and he would take out the news of the Red Bat Rebellion to tell Deputy Commander Zhao Bin, otherwise the entire Yongchang County would fall! At this point, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and shouted to everyone who had already drawn out his long sword to prepare for battle, saying, "We have more important things to do! Retreat immediately!" Then he led the officers and soldiers to the back door of the military camp, and there was no time to bring anything with him.
Hongfa left and returned, leading two thousand rebels into the military camp. Seeing that the Qin army officers and soldiers were lying all over the ground, everyone was surprised. Hongfa was worried that the Qin army was not dead yet, so he waved his hand and shouted, "Kill me!" The rebels roared and rushed forward, wielding swords and guns to kill the Qin army officers and soldiers, showing great power on the dead Qin army officers and soldiers. All flesh and blood were flying everywhere in the military camp, and a tragic scene!
The rebels slashed and killed each other for a while, and Hongbat felt completely relieved. Then an indescribable excitement and joy surged into her heart, causing her body to tremble involuntarily. Then she shouted: "Everyone obeys the order, immediately occupy the yamen warehouse according to the plan, and control the city gates on all sides!" Everyone responded loudly and immediately took action separately.
Accompanied by several female soldiers, Hongfu strode into the lobby of Yongchang County. Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, an indescribable excitement surged into his heart. He walked to the upper seat and sat down, looking down at the hall, only to feel how amazing she was. He turned his hands to make clouds and rain, and the fierce Qin army had no power to fight back in her hands. She seized Yongchang County with almost no effort!
At this time, a rebel officer rushed in and said excitedly to Hongfu: "Sir, we have occupied the warehouse. There are not only a large amount of money and food, but also a lot of armored rods in the warehouse!" Hongfu was overjoyed and shouted: "Great! In this way, I can expand my army immediately! You, immediately bring people to various parts of the city to post notices, calling on the people to join the army enthusiastically, so as to completely rescue our Yongchang County from the clutches of the Qin army!" The officer replied and walked quickly.
Hongbat looked at the sky outside the door, looking confident. Before seizing Yongchang County, she planned and secretly prepared day and night, with the goal of seizing Yongchang County to become the master of Yongchang County. Now that this wish has come true, she is no longer satisfied with just being the master of Yongchang County. She wants to be a person like Zhurong and become a noble queen.
A figure flashed at the door, and a rebel officer rushed in quickly and reported to Hongfu: "Sir, it's not good. Dozens of Qin soldiers have just escaped from the west gate!" Hongfu's heart moved, his face changed, and he shouted: "No! They must escape, Ailao Fortress!" Then he shouted to the officer: "Hei Mu, you will lead your subordinates to pursue immediately, and you must not escape from one person!" Hei Mu responded and ran hurriedly
After going down, Hongfu paved back and forth in the hall with some annoyance, feeling that everything was going well, but why did such a mistake come to an end? Then he thought, there were only five hundred Qin troops in the Ailao Fortress, so what if he knew about his rebellion? With his thousands of men, he could not defeat the fortress guarded by just five hundred people! As soon as he thought, he didn't think it was a big deal to escape dozens of Qin soldiers!
At this moment, another rebel officer ran in and reported to Hongfu: "Sir, Meng Huo's messenger is here." Hongfu's heart moved and he quickly called for help. The officer shouted and ran down, and soon led a middle-aged man in.
When the middle-aged man saw the red bat, he immediately bowed and bowed, and then said, "Master Red Bat, my king asked me to tell you the good news. Not long ago, my king led his army north to cooperate with Sun Ce to defeat Shamoke in Heifeng Valley! Now our two soldiers are heading directly at Dianchi Lake, and Zhang Liao and Shamoke have retreated into the city of Dianchi Lake!..."
Hongfa was surprised and happy, and couldn't help but shout, "It's great!" At this point, the little worry that had been lingering in her heart disappeared. What she was most worried about before was actually not whether she could seize Yongchang County, but about the situation on other fronts. She was worried that other fronts could not defeat the Qin army and the vassal army who served the Qin army. In that case, even if she seized Yongchang County, she would not be able to defend it, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Now that she heard that Shamoke was defeated, Zhang Liao had to retreat to Dianchi Lake, this worry was completely gone.
Hongfaxi said, "It's great! Not long ago, I got my people's reward. Zhurong has been poisoned, and now it's a matter of people. I heard that there is chaos in Yuyu City, and the Eight Tribes of Eryuan have a tendency to rebel. My people are lobbying for the Eight Tribes of Eryuan, and it should be successful."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout excitedly: "That's great! The current situation can be said to be very good! I don't believe that Zhang Liao alone can turn the tide!"
The sight returned to Luoyang.
Ailang has been in a state of uneasy since receiving the military newspaper sent by Zhang Liao. In the middle of the night, Ailang was sleepy and came to the north city wall to inspect. Looking at the huge camp of Cao's army outside the city, he felt a huge pressure. Not only Luoyang, Chen Cang, Hanzhong, and Nanzhong all made him worried and worried. So far, there has not been a good news from Chen Cang, Hanzhong, and Nanzhong, which made Ailang very anxious. He only felt that now
The situation is far beyond the previous estimate. Not to mention seizing Chen Cang and even the entire Xiliang as planned, I am afraid that if one of them is not done well, the situation will reverse, and his side will suffer an unimaginable defeat! Speaking of which, the biggest reason for this situation is food and grass. There are obviously so many troops, but due to food and grass problems, it is difficult for the army from all over the country to mobilize on a large scale, and it is impossible to launch a large-scale attack to restrain the enemy, which gives the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.
Ailang used to be very puzzled by the huge gap in military strength between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu, because Cao Cao had developed an army of hundreds of thousands before the Battle of Guandu, but he could only invest tens of thousands of troops in a critical battle like Guandu, which made the gap in military strength between the two sides very different, and the war process was dangerous. Ailang now understood that it was all for food and grass. The amount of army that could be mobilized often depends on how much food and grass can be used. Therefore, in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was limited by food and grass, but could only use tens of thousands of troops to fight. The problems Ailang now encountered were exactly the same as the problems that Cao Cao encountered back then. This was like a very strong man, but he was tied up and could not be used at all.
Ailang frowned and murmured to himself, "There are so many bastards! I'm always short of food, why do Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Cao Pi rarely encounter such problems?" In fact, Ailang knew the reason for this. He was just unhappy and vented like this.
The sound of rapid footsteps came from behind. Ailang pressed his annoyed mood and turned around. Huang Yueying was coming quickly, and her heart couldn't help but move.
Huang Yueying quickly came to Ailang, clasped his fists and said anxiously: "Husband, the enemy's tunnel has reached near the city wall." Ailang was surprised, "So quickly?" Huang Yueying nodded and said: "Based on the current situation, the enemy should plan to dig through the tunnel tonight and break into the city."
Before she finished speaking, a wave of huge war drums suddenly came from outside the city, breaking the silence of the original night. Ailang and Huang Yueying quickly looked outside the city, and saw the gates of the enemy camps wide open, and hundreds of thousands of troops rushed out like a torrent of opening the gate, rushing straight towards the city wall!
Huang Yueying said: "The enemy attacked the city at this time, and then confirmed my sister's judgment! They attacked the city with great fanfare in order to cover up the sound of the tunnel passing through the city!" Then he clasped his fists at Ailang and said: "Husband, let me leave it to the husband on the city wall! The younger sister will deal with the tunnel!" Ailang nodded and reminded: "Be careful!" Huang Yueying was stunned, then smiled sweetly, looked at Ailang softly, and then hurried away.
