Chapter 279 Recovering Guangyang
"Liu Youzhou's decree: The first climber will be rewarded ten thousand coins, the official will be promoted to three ranks, and the one who beheads the thief will be rewarded with a title."

Outside Guangyang City, tens of thousands of troops brought by celebrities from all walks of life were waiting in battle. Liu Yu's relatives straddled their horses and shouted Liu Yu's reward order.

"Kill it! It's the present day to get promoted and make a fortune, and the sons and daughters will kill you!"

The brave generals of the various counties brought their own private soldiers in a show of force, and rushed towards the city wall of Guangyang carrying the new-style ladder in Lucheng.

"Hmph! A mob."

Wenpin snorted coldly, the private soldiers or farmers brought by celebrities from various counties were indeed mobs in front of the well-armed Lucheng Army.

"No matter how sophisticated armor is, it must be matched with courage and bravery to be invincible."

Han Meng has been taught by Han Dang, Chen Dao, and Yu Jin repeatedly in the past two days, which completely dispelled the arrogant posture of Zhao Yun as the number one in the world and him as the second, but he still felt a little unwilling. voice retorted.

Yu Jin and Han Dang laughed and said nothing, Wuyong, is Lucheng's army missing?

"Drum!"

With a wave of Liu Bei's command flag, the war drums sounded rhythmically.

"Wind, wind, wind."

The quiet Lucheng army suddenly moved, and the half-person-high iron-clad shield around them was lifted up, and the sharp swords were hidden in the shield, and they all huddled around the nest carts and marched towards the city wall.

A battering ram made of star iron followed the nest car and quickly followed.

Huang Xu waved his hand and said: "Target the city, suppress the bows and arrows at the city with all your strength, and fight for the opportunity for the brothers who are besieging the city to ascend the city."

Hundreds of crossbows were lined up in rows behind Huang Xu. With the wave of Huang Xuling's flag, hundreds of big feet stepped on the machine together, and hundreds of thick crossbows flew towards the city like locusts.

Most of the crossbow arrows flew into the city over the top of the city, a few crossbow arrows strangled several peasant soldiers to death at the top of the city and nailed them to the city wall, and a few crossbow arrows broke a big gap in the top of the wall.

"Mom!"

The thieves on the top of the city had never seen such a sharp weapon for siege, they were frightened for a while, what's more, they turned around and ran around, causing chaos on the city wall.

"Stop them, kill anyone who wants to escape!"

Wang Zheng, who leaned tightly behind the city wall and scolded Liu Bei for cheating his father, yelled loudly when he saw a bandit army fleeing in chaos.

Wang Zheng hacked and killed a fleeing bandit army with his own hands, and the rest of the bandit army's elite stepped forward to hack and kill the bandit army who was about to flee.

Just as Wang Zheng stabilized his position, a new round of crossbow arrows flew in. He was so frightened that he quickly crawled on the city wall, and quickly rolled to the back of the city gate. At this moment, only the heavy city gate could ease his fear.

Under the city, under the rain of arrows washing up, the Lucheng army has quickly marched to the side of the moat. Sections of long wooden planks were taken out from the nest cart and quickly combined under the skilled operation of the sword and shield hands.

The front is a sharp iron cone, and the long board is deeply thrust into the city wall under the strong thrust of the sword and shield.

Section after section of planks are linked, and the nest carts are pushed over the iron-clad planks.

As soon as the nest cart leaned against the city wall, the sword and shield hand hidden in the nest cart instantly hooked the iron hook inside the nest cart to the city stomp, and the sword and shield hand jumped up to the city wall.

The vigorous posture, neat thin iron armor, sharp Fushou knife, and the iron shield covering most of the body allowed the Lucheng army to quickly gain a foothold on the city wall. The thieves with strong crossbow arrows beheaded, and the iron shield made them fearless of any cold arrows.

"Kill, drive them off."

Wang Zheng roared and swung his knife to kill Lu Chengjun.

The thieves on the city were excited by Wang Yue's bravery, and they came to surround the Lucheng army one after another.

However, there was a nest cart, and more and more Lucheng troops rushed out of the nest cart, and one piece after another, the Lucheng army joined together.

In less than half an hour, most of the city wall was occupied by the Lucheng army, Wang Zheng was exhausted and his men took the city, and the bandit army on the entire west wall dispersed.

The suspension bridge in the west city fell, the city gate was opened, and the Lucheng army attacked one after another.

The news of the fall of the west city plunged the whole of Guangyang into crisis, and the bandit troops on the other three walls scattered one after another.

Before noon, the entire Guangyang City had fallen into the hands of the government army and private soldiers from various counties. Most of the rebels surrendered and a few were beheaded.

When Liu Yu entered the city together with Liu Bei and celebrities from various counties, the city was in a mess, every shop was smashed, burned and looted, and the houses were even more lifeless.

The faces of the Guangyang gentry headed by Qi Zhou were gloomy and terrifying. One of the Guangyang gentry saw the bandit soldiers under escort and drew their knives and slashed at him. Cry loudly: "Rebel! Rebel?"

Qi Zhou choked up and explained to Liu Yu: "Duke Ming, in the Hu family compound that we passed by just now, all 180 members of the Hu family died in the rebellion. It's no wonder that Hu Yong lost his composure."

"Understandable, understandable."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, the brutality of the bandit army was completely beyond his imagination.

In Guangyang City, there were nearly [-] households when Liu Yu was governor of Youzhou ten years ago. I wonder if there will be half of them left after this battle?
A long way to go!

Liu Yu instantly felt a lot of pressure, but no matter how difficult it was, the chaos between the two Zhangs had to be put down first.

The county mansion was cleaned up by the sergeants. Liu Yu sat in the hall and looked at the celebrities from various counties who came with him and asked: "Now that Guangyang has been recovered, next, do you think you should go east to Yuyang or go west?" All."

"Duke Ming, Daijun and Shanggu are the west gates of Youzhou, not to mention that Zhang Chun's hometown is Shanggu? Wen thinks that Daijun Shanggu should be established first so as to avoid war on two fronts and deter Wuhuan from the two counties. "

Daijun Hao Wen took the lead to come forward.

Yuyang Wei You immediately retorted: "Minggong, you think otherwise, Zhang Chun's army has already entered Yuyang and Liaoxi in the east, Shanggu and Daijun are only a small group of bandits. Zhang's chaos, the two counties can be settled without a fight."

"Si Yan is very kind."

Wang Song of Yuyang, brothers Youbeiping Chengxu, and Gongsun Ji of Liaoxi all spoke out in support of Wei You.

Hao Wen, Guo Duan, Han Heng and other gentry from the Dai counties asked Liu Yu to leave the army capital to recover Shanggu and Dai counties.

Liu Yu looked at the gentry who were constantly quarreling, and turned to Liu Bei and asked, "Xuande, what do you think?"

Liu Bei looked at the two factions who were quarreling, and they all turned their attention to Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei could support him. After all, the First World War made them understand the powerful strength of the Lucheng Army.

In fact, Liu Bei was also in a bit of a dilemma. If he went east, he could quickly pacify the two. This was not in Liu Bei's current interests at all. Even if he went west, he would have to watch the few people in Youzhou plummet under the flames of war.

"Duke Ming, I think it's better to start with the easy and then the difficult."

Liu Bei recalled Xi Zhicai's words: Go west to the military capital and recruit rangers from Daijun and Shanggu counties to confront Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning. people.

"Why is it easy first and then difficult?"

Liu Yurao said with interest.

"The bandit army is powerful, and the morale of the officers and soldiers is low. They urgently need a few big victories to boost their morale. What's more, after several wars in Guangyang, there are not enough soldiers, food and grass. Only by taking Daijun and Shanggu, and gathering some of the lost soldiers of the Wuhuan Camp It’s easy to send the army south, and I believe that Brother Bo Gui will be able to hold a stalemate with Er Zhang until Duke Ming sends his army south.”

"What Lord Hou said is true."

Daijun Hao Wen and others agreed with Liu Bei's words.

"Minggong."

Wei You and others still wanted to argue with reason.

"Stop talking, I've made up my mind."

Liu Yu got up suddenly and said: "The main force will go west to the military capital, and Meng Zhonglang will lead his headquarters to help Gongsun Bogui."

"promise!"

Wei You and others could only promise, after all, this was already the best result, but they gave Liu Bei a big cross in their hearts.
