Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 71 Battle of Jicheng (6)

Zhao Lei and Zhang Han returned to the camp.

"Man, what's the matter? You don't seem to be looking well." Zhao Lei asked Zhang Han.

"I just felt a little uneasy when I heard what Lu Zhi said to the two of us earlier." Zhang Han said.

"Why are you uneasy? He said that we cooperate with each other tacitly. Isn't that complimenting us?" Zhao Lei said.

"I think these words are always a warning, Xiaolei, he may have seen our thoughts." Zhang Han said.

"See what we're thinking? Don't you? I don't think so?" Zhao Lei asked strangely.

"In short, we still have to do our duty, and don't arouse Lu Zhi's vigilance. He may think that you are too good, and may threaten the power of the Han Dynasty. That's why I think he used this sentence to warn us Two. Although that sentence sounds like a compliment on the surface, it actually has a deep meaning in it." Zhang Han said.

"But, it's not that we are rebelling, we are helping the court to destroy Zhang Jiao! What is he worrying about?" Zhao Lei felt a little strange.

"The point is not here. The point is that Lu Zhi should also see that the Han Dynasty is at stake, the world is in chaos, and Zhang Jiao took the lead in rebellion. If things go on like this for a long time, more people will definitely choose this path, and Xiaolei, you are the one he thinks is the most likely. Because, in this large-scale rehabilitative campaign, we are the best-performing army in the imperial court, which has long attracted the attention of all parties, so Lu Zhi It is normal to have doubts or worries about us," Zhang Han said.

"But the Eastern Han Dynasty will perish sooner or later? We are working so hard now just to occupy a place in the future hegemony. We can't just do nothing now for Lu Zhi?" Zhao Lei said,
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that now we have to show our loyalty to the Han family while doing meritorious service, so that we can slowly eliminate Lu Zhi's worries about us." Zhang Han said.

"I know what you mean. It seems that being a human being in this era is really tangled." Zhao Lei laughed.

"I think the fuse of Lu Zhi's words today may be the last time we reprimanded Liu Bei in the big tent and heard about the relationship between the Han family clan. At that time, I remember that when we talked about the Han clan clan, our tone was very Is it frivolous, which caused Lu Zhi's displeasure?" Zhang Han guessed.

"From what you said, I think it's possible." Zhao Lei agreed.

"Okay, I just want to remind you, we all have to pay attention to this aspect." Zhang Han said.

Zhao Lei nodded.

The next day, when Lu Zhi raised his account, Zhao Lei told Lu Zhi.

"My lord, the interior of the city has been prepared, please give the order to attack the city."

"In today's battle, Jicheng must be captured. Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, Ding Yuan, and Han Meng will lead the infantry, stone-throwing troops, chariot-charging troops, and Jinglan troops to attack Jicheng head-on." Lu Zhi ordered.

"Zihan, you are in charge of the army here." Lu Zhi said to Zhao Lei beside him.

"When the army is attacking the city, the people in the city of Jicheng will rush to the east, west and north gates to open the gates and let our army enter the city. That is to say, the troops at the south gate must use all their strength this time, so that the enemy will mistake us for us. It is to forcibly break through the south gate of Jicheng, and concentrate the main defenses of the other cities on the south gate, so that the sneak attack of the other three gates will be easy to succeed, do you understand?" Zhao Lei said.

"No." said the generals.

"Le Jin, you lead an army of three thousand to attack the east gate; Gao Shun, you lead an army of three thousand to attack the north gate; Wen Chou, you follow me to attack the west gate. According to my judgment, after Jicheng is breached, Guan Hai will definitely come West escaped, so I will send heavy troops to block Guan Hai and wipe him out," Zhao Lei said.

"promise."

"My lord, after capturing Jicheng, don't let a Yellow Turban soldier go. They are all rebels, threatening the great Han country, and they should all be eradicated. And this will block the news, so that other counties in Youzhou don't know that Jicheng has been breached. It will be much easier for us to attack."

"Okay, even if Zihan doesn't say it, I will do it. These rebels are so bold that they have to be punished," Lu Zhi said.

Zhao Lei glanced at Zhang Han, who smiled slightly.

After the meeting, all the generals went to prepare for the siege.Zhao Lei called Li Tong to his side and said to him, "Go and supervise Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and let them go to the back camp to escort the food and grass, and say it is my order."

"Yes, my lord." Li Tong said.

"General Wen Chou, bring 8000 troops with us, and let's go to Ximen." Zhao Lei said.

"General, there seems to be movement in the barracks of Lu Zhi's army. I'm afraid they are planning to attack the city." Liu Pi said.

"Order the entire army to be on high alert," Guan Hai said.

Soon after, Lu Zhi's army began to attack the city. Compared with the first attack, this attack was more violent.But this was just a feint, because it was necessary to attract the main firepower of the defenders of Jicheng, so that Zhao Lei could easily succeed in the sneak attack in the other three gates, so everyone put in all their strength.

Guan Hai obviously felt that Lu Zhi had used all his strength to attack the city, so he ordered troops from all over the city to rush to support the south gate.

In a private house in the south of the city, Zhao Yun is still observing the movement in the city.

"Zilong, I think the lord's soldiers and horses are about to reach the other three gates, we can start to act." Dian Wei said to Zhao Yun.

"Okay, let's start to move." So several soldiers who were originally nested in the civilian houses followed Zhao Yun and Dian Wei and began to move towards the east gate first.

After a while, Zhao Yun killed all the defenders of the east gate, and then Zhao Yun opened the gate, and Le Jin led the army to kill them.After Zhao Yun put his troops in, he immediately walked to the north gate and brought Gao Shun's troops in, and then Zhao Lei from the west gate, but Zhao Lei just blocked the army at the west gate, and did not order to enter the city to fight.

"Report, General, Zhao Lei's army has poured into the east, west, north, and north gates of Jicheng City!!!" A soldier climbed up the tower and said to Guan Hai, who was commanding the defense of the city.

"What?! How did Zhao Lei come in? What are the guards at those gates doing?" Guan Hai asked in surprise.

"This subordinate doesn't know." The soldier said.

"You useless things." Guan Hai raised his knife and chopped the soldier to the ground.

"You continue to defend here, and the people behind will follow me to kill all the enemy troops in the city." Guan Hai said.

The [-] Yellow Turbans left behind in Jicheng can be regarded as the elite among the elites, although the city gate is now open and the situation is not good for the Yellow Turbans.But this army did not show the slightest panic, but followed Guan Hai's order to resist in an orderly manner.

Soon, the troops of Le Jin and Gao Shun entered the center of Jicheng, and started fighting with Guan Hai's troops.Although the Yellow Turban Army has an advantage in numbers, compared to the Zhao Lei Army who has better coordination and combat effectiveness, the Yellow Turban Army fell into a passive position as soon as they came up.

"Report, Nancheng has been breached." When Guan Hai was fighting, the soldiers came to report.

In fact, it was Zhao Yun who finally opened the gate of Nancheng after he circled Jicheng, and Lu Zhi led the army into the city.

"Get out quickly, Jicheng can't hold it anymore." Guan Hai said, and at the same time led the army towards the west gate guarded by Zhao Lei.Only through the west gate can you enter the counties and counties behind Youzhou.

West of Jicheng City.

"General Guan Hai, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao Lei said at the west gate.

"Zhao Lei?!" Guan Hai said angrily.

"General Guan Hai, you have nowhere to go. Surrender quickly! Zhang Jiao's power is gone, why do you need to work for him anymore?" Zhao Lei said.

"The great virtuous teacher is kind to me, and I can't betray him even if I die. What's more, if I surrender to the court and become a lackey of the court, I will never agree." Guan Hai said.

"Why is General Guan so persistent? It's stupid to serve an unwise person, you are foolishly loyal." Zhao Lei said.

"You don't waste your time talking. Today, either you die or I die. If I can die at the hands of a hero like Zhao Taishou, then I will die without regret." Guan Hai said with the determination to die, and at the same time led the army to charge towards Zhao Lei. go.

"Shoot the arrow!!!" Zhao Lei shouted.

Most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were shot by arrows and fell into a pool of blood.Seeing Guan Hai getting closer, Zhao Lei sent Wen Chou to fight Guan Hai.The two sides fought for more than 50 rounds, and finally Guan Hai was cut off by Wen Chou.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was dead, Liu Pi, his subordinate, was also killed by the rebel army. The Yellow Turban troops were disrupted and all were killed by Zhao Lei's army, leaving no one left.

"Cut off Guan Hai's head and give it to Lu Zhi later." Zhao Lei said to Wen Chou.

The attack on Jicheng ended with the victory of Lu Zhijun.
