King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 639 Breaking through Pengcheng
"General!" Seeing Zang Ba's pained look, all the generals felt a little worried.

Sitting heavily, Zang Ba wiped the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "I want to attack Pengcheng, what do you think?"

"I'll wait!" Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison: "I will follow the general to the death!"

"Okay!" Zang Ba patted the table and said, "Pengcheng is Che Zhou's lair, and my wife is still in Pengcheng, but now that this happened, Che Zhou will definitely harm my family, why don't I wait while Che Zhou is not here?" Prepare, surprise Pengcheng! Take it down and dedicate it to Li Yuanjie! I can save my family by waiting!"

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

Sun Guan clenched his fists and said sharply, "I want to avenge Changen and his brothers, and the last general begs to be the vanguard!"

"Me too!" Yi Li and Wu Dun also said immediately
"There is no need for vanguards in this battle!" Zang Ba glanced at the three generals in the tent with his blood-red eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If Pengcheng cannot be captured, I will not retreat, and I would rather die with Che Zhou!"

Wu Dun and Yin Li looked at each other, stepped forward and clasped their fists together and shouted, "I am willing to live and die together with the rescue!"

"Okay!" Zang Ba stared wide-eyed and said, "Immediately send someone to send a message to Li Yuanjie, telling him that we will take a shortcut and attack Pengcheng. I hope he can stop Che Zhou from pursuing and support our army!"

Wu Dun hesitated and said: "General! In this way, our army's losses will not be less!"

"Hmph! I don't care about that much anymore!" Zang Ba roared, getting up suddenly, "Clang!" With a sound, he drew out the sword from his waist, looked at the sharpness of the sword, and said in a cold voice, "Che Zhou, although I feel like I'm taking refuge in my heart." Li Yuanjie, but we didn't want to fight with you, unlike you who treated me like this and ruined my brother's life... Since you were unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous now!" After finishing, Zang Ba looked at Sun Guan and the three of them, and went out of the tent together, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and went straight to Pengcheng.

The governor's Pengcheng is the guard of Che Zhou's deputy general named Li Huang, and Pengcheng is Che Zhou's last reliance, so Che Zhou will not push into Pengcheng to defend unless it is a last resort, and in the city, Li Huang's men are also The five thousand trusted soldiers and horses left behind by the chariot are for the chariot to save their lives.

On that day, Zang Ba immediately drove the mourning soldiers to attack, and ordered the three generals to lead [-] troops each to attack the north, south, and west gates, but he himself led the remaining [-] troops to attack the east gate. Under still anger, he didn't give Li Huang a chance to escape. When he heard that Zang Ba had come to attack the city, Li Huang was surprised and suspicious. Why would Zang Ba, who hadn't seen anything for half a month, lead his troops here? Siege?He didn't even know why Zang Ba, who was under Che Zhou's command, turned around and attacked him. Of course he didn't know what happened here, but he couldn't allow him to think too much about it. Li Huang hurriedly drove away all the soldiers in Pengcheng , respectively assigned to guard the four gates, while he was guarding the city, if the situation was urgent, he would go there to rescue. According to Li Huang's thinking, Pengcheng had enough food, and there were also chariots in Wuyang. Still, even if Zang Ba dared to be presumptuous, he should not be deadly attacking.But things were beyond his expectations. In just half an hour, Zang Ba's army had already killed more than two thousand soldiers. It can be seen how fierce the battle was?But even so, Zang Ba will not retreat!Hearing this news, Li Huang felt panicked, what should he do!
"I can't swear that I won't return to the army!" In the turbulent flow, Zang Ba yelled loudly, and he was the first soldier, desperately crossing the moat, and the moat was already full of Zang Ba's soldiers who died of arrows.

Knowing that Zang Ba's goal was at the east gate, without saying a word, Li Huang grabbed the saber on the table and headed straight for the east gate. When he arrived at the east gate, seeing the crazy appearance of Zang Ba's soldiers one by one, Li Huang was shocked. He shouted urgently: "Brothers, shoot arrows, shoot arrows! If this city is lost, I will have no face to report to the general!" But just as he was speaking, more than a dozen ladders were built on the city wall. After a few times of "clang clang!", the hooks hooked firmly to the city wall. Since the confrontation with the Shashaying camp in Xiaoguan, Zang Ba's soldiers have obtained a lot of these things, and they have been repaired according to some formed patterns. After that, Zang Ba's siege this time was a blow with all his strength, and of course he had to use these...

"Cut off the rope, cut off the rope quickly!" Li Huang yelled, stepped forward and cut off the rope connecting the iron hook with a knife, then raised a can of kerosene on the city wall, and smashed it viciously at the ladder , Just hearing a "bang!", the crock shattered, and the kerosene in it wet the corner of the ladder.

"Burn the ladder!" Li Huang kept yelling and commanding, praying in his heart, don't break the city, don't break the city, don't break the city, but Li Huang is still stubborn, She didn't expect to directly bring Zang Ba and the family members of her subordinates to threaten Zang Ba. It is estimated that even he didn't know about it. In addition, Zang Ba came very quickly, and Li Huang didn't have much time to react. , took the troops and defended the city of Kashgar......

After a burst of "pop!", the rest of the ladders ignited raging fire. Although these ladders were dragged across the river desperately by Zang Ba's soldiers, the wood in them was already soaked, but facing the power of kerosene, the ladders The river water in the wood is obviously not worth a little effect.

"Attack!" Zang Ba roared angrily under the ladder, but his soldiers retreated from the burning ladder.

"Huh!" Zang Ba snorted angrily, he didn't care about the raging fire on the ladder, he climbed up the ladder in a few steps, then turned over and jumped into the city, and at that time, even his body was ablaze fire.

"General?" Zang Ba's guards looked at each other in astonishment, gritted their teeth, and forcibly climbed the city wall above the ladder regardless of life and death.The rest of the soldiers saw that the general was like this, so what did they care about, his own general took the lead and was extremely brave, everyone cheered up immediately, shouted, and rushed up the ladder like Zang Ba. Yu Zang's Bajun forced his way up the city wall, but he paid nearly ten times the price. He killed the enemy with a gun in one hand, and patted the fire on his body with the other. Zang Ba had already disregarded life and death. Maybe this is his most real side Like many people, Zang Ba lost his courage to rescue his father when he was young, but for his family in the city, Zang Ba once again found the feeling he had back then... ………

Zang Ba went all the way to Li Huang's body, and the latter was stunned. Why is this Zang Ba so desperate today!When Li Huang came back to his senses, he found that a spear had penetrated his chest.And in front of him is naturally Zang Ba's face blackened by the flames...

"Kill!" With the roar of the city tyrant, Li Huang collapsed limply on the ground, and the general of the city was already dead. Zang Ba immediately chopped off Li Huang's head, shouted and grinned, and said, "Haha Haha! Li Huang is dead, you idiots don't deserve to die!" Zang Ba didn't ask these defenders to surrender to him, because only their death was for him in the eyes of Zang Ba and his generals. The gang of Changen and the brothers who were killed by Zhang Qing's surprise attack had a chance to take revenge, so they planned not to keep any prisoners. Li Huang was dead, the defenders on the top of the city had no backbone, and Zang Ba and his men were even more intent on killing. , even more crazily wanting to kill the defenders at the top of the city, the defenders of Pengcheng were horrified, their morale was lost, and the east gate of Pengcheng was doomed to fall. Killed, never left a prisoner.I saw that Zang Ba was full of killing intent, leading his troops all the way from the east gate to the city, and the enemy soldiers who died in his hands were probably close to a hundred...

Suddenly, a guard Peng dropped his weapon and knelt down on the ground, pleading: "General Zang Ba, we have already surrendered! Let me go!" At this moment, Zang Ba's spear had already touched the guard's body. Face to face.

"Surrender!" Zang Ba was stunned suddenly when he saw the soldier kneeling on the ground crying, looking at the man and his blood-stained clothes, Zang Ba murmured: "Today, it's already Is it enough to kill..." Zang Ba was really unwilling to participate in this war, or even any war in his heart, but for the sake of his family being able to have enough food, in order to follow his own To help his brother have another good future, Zang Ba had no choice but to get involved. Looking at the young soldier who was kneeling in front of his gun and crying, Zang Ba's heartache seemed to be punched by someone, and his body shook. After a while, the killing intent in Zang Ba's heart was slowly put away, and he withdrew his long spear. He shouted to the soldiers around him in a deep voice: "Tell the defenders in the city that those who surrender will not be killed! Tell them to drop their weapons quickly. If not, they will have nothing to kill." amnesty!"

"No!" Zang Ba's soldiers shouted, and immediately spread the words.

"The descendants will not be killed, the descendants will not be killed!" With such a series of voices, followed by a clanging sound, the defenders in the nearby city were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and kowtowed to the ground, not daring to raise their heads... ………

When they heard that Zang Ba's army had entered the city, the chariot soldiers guarding the other three gates of Pengcheng were shocked. They abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The price was also extremely high. There were more than [-] soldiers in the army, and most of the soldiers were wounded. They were afraid that the chariots would come, so they immediately closed the city gates and guarded the city...

But Zang Ba immediately took all his brothers and ran to his home in the city, saying that his home was just a place where Che Zhou imprisoned his family.

"Bang!" Kicking open the door, Zang Ba suddenly heard two voices, "Dad! Dad!" Just these two voices revived Zang Ba, who was already exhausted, and looked at the two ten-year-old children. The moment Zang Ba kicked open the gate, he rushed over while shouting "Father!" to Zang Ba...
