In fact, as Zhang Shao said, it is child's play for more than a dozen people to seize the Taiyuan City Gate.
But what Zhang Shao didn't know was that he knew this. How could Zhang Chong, who was responsible for planning all actions, not know this?
The real trump card is that the Taishan Army has an internal response in the city.
And now Zhang Chong and the others are waiting for this person.
After the south gate slowly opened, a person walked out of the city. This person was accompanied by two young men, both of whom were riding horses.
The three of them remained silent, led the horses and quietly left the city. After walking for a while, they remounted their horses and ran towards the south.
The three riders had not gone far when they were stopped by Tai Shici who was waiting here.
After Taishi Ci led a group of cruisers to stop the three people, he looked around carefully, and then escorted the three people to where Zhang Chong was.
There, Zhang Chong and a series of cavalry generals were waiting under a locust tree.
The leader of the three people was a military official with a crotch head. After seeing Zhang Chong from a distance, he bowed down very respectfully and shouted:
"Guo Kan, the guilty general, paid homage to King Zhang."
It turned out that this person was the guard of the South Gate of Taiyuan and the young patriarch of the Guo family in Yangqu, Guo Kan.
A few days ago, this person had contacted the Taishan Army outside the city.
The person in charge of this operation was Guo Tu. This man was a top-notch Legalist who had no restrictions on his methods, and he had a lot of cards to play.
Therefore, after learning that all members of the Guo clan had fallen into the hands of the Taishan Army and were still alive, Guo Kan and his father knew that they had no choice.
After that, Guo Tu and Guo Kan met several times, and after finally finalizing all the conditions, they decided to take action at the third update today.
For the sake of mutual trust, Guo Tu specifically asked Guo Kan and his two younger brothers to be used as hostages.
Originally, Guo Tu thought that even if the three people agreed, they would secretly hang down on the top of the city, but who knew that they would open the city gate with such arrogance.
This surprised Guo Tu and also revealed the depth of Guo's control over Taiyuan South Gate.
Guo Kan bowed to Zhang Chong as soon as he arrived, but Zhang Chong was not shy and promised directly:
"The grudges between you Guo and my Taishan Army will be wiped out from tonight."
Guo Kan kowtowed heavily, then whispered to his two younger brothers behind him, and handed the talisman in his hand to Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong nodded, took the talisman, and then asked Guo Kan's two younger brothers to be sent to rest first.
Not far from them, a blanket has been erected. Guo Kan's two younger brothers will not participate in the subsequent operations until Guo Kan returns successfully.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Chong estimated that Pang De and the others in the city were almost ready, so he waved his hand, and Zhao Yun, who had been waiting for a long time, took action immediately.
On the right side of Linfen Road in Taiyuan, a cavalry of 500 people was ready.
When Zhao Yun came running towards him, without saying a word, he lifted the horse in his hand and rode towards the open south gate alone.
Behind him, Guo Kan was followed by two generals, closely following Zhao Yun.
Then, five hundred sudden riders and horses galloped like dragons.
Sure enough, when Zhao Yun suddenly arrived at the south gate, he saw that Pang De and a dozen other generals had already controlled the south gate. Behind them, there were many Guizhou chiefs tied with headbands, and they also surrendered a group of south gate city officials. Got the weapon.
At this moment, Guo Kan's face behind Zhao Yun was extremely ugly. He thought that this was the Taishan army killing donkeys, but people are like knives and fish, and now they can only grind their teeth and swallow them.
In fact, Zhao Yun was also surprised. Originally, the mission of Pang De and his team was to wait for an opportunity to lurk at the south gate. If the Guo clan members at the south gate did not use any tricks, they would continue to lurk. And if those people were to play tricks, then Pang De and the others would need to send a signal to the raiding force outside the city.
But now Pound led a large group of Taiyuan and Guizhou leaders to seize the south gate directly, which was surprising.
But now is not the time to ask in detail. Besides, isn't this a good thing?
So Zhao Yun just glanced at Pang De, nodded, and then rushed into the city with the cavalry behind him.
Horse hooves trampled on the cold street, directly tearing the silence of the early morning.
The hungover powerful people were naturally still asleep, but the powerful and powerful troops in the city realized something was wrong.
But when these people hurriedly walked up to the wall with weapons and looked around, they saw that the Taishan Army had entered the city, but no one was willing to step out of the gate.
What is the general trend is over? This is the general trend is over.
Obviously, only a few hundred Taishan troops entered the city, but the military morale of the Taiyuan tribes collapsed and they no longer dared to fight.
As the south gate opened, an army also came out from the darkness in the north. It was the original siege army commanded by Yu Jin. They also turned back two hours ago.
At this moment, with the help of the cavalry who entered the city, the north gate opened, and the Taishan army poured into the city like a torrent.
The south gate was occupied, and the north gate was also occupied. Soon the arsenal was captured, and all the dangerous points in the city were captured by Taishan's army.
Over there, the junior members of the Wang family had already woken up when their horses were on the south street. Under the leadership of Wang Ling, they quickly gathered their troops and ordered them to resist step by step along the street.
Wang Ling quickly rushed to the shogunate with a group of people, preparing to retreat with Wang Yun.
That night, Wang Yun didn't fall asleep either. He was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.
As the Liangzhou army showed its support for Ding Yuan, the situation was somewhat out of Wang Yun's control. Now the only thing Wang Yun can hope for is to convince Pei Ye with the righteousness of the Han Dynasty.
Wang Yun is still confident about this, because Pei Ye is a good official.
Just when Wang Yun was about to sleep with his clothes on, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside, led by his nephew Wang Ling.
Wang Yun was about to reprimand when he heard Wang Ling gasping rapidly:
"Uncle, the big thing is over, the Taishan Army has entered the city."
Wang Yun only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, which was completely unacceptable. He angrily shouted:
"That's nonsense. Isn't the news from you that the Taishan Army was defeated? Didn't Hu Zhen's tooth soldiers just come to deliver the letter? Where did the Taishan Army come from?"
At this time, Wang Ling was so ashamed that he was speechless.
As Wang Yun talked, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he figured it out in a blink of an eye.
Then he laughed miserably:
"Okay, okay, my whole life, Wang Yun's brilliant life, was ruined in the hands of you juniors."
After saying that, Wang Yun was about to draw his sword and prepare to lead the armored soldiers in the shogunate to fight to the death.
But when Wang Yun was about to go out, Wang Ling suddenly hugged Wang Yun from behind, and then said to the left and right clan members:
"What are you still doing? Take your uncle and kill him."
In this way, the younger Wang family who woke up pulled the struggling Wang Yun, picked a strong war horse, and fought out of the shogunate.
Following these people were some generals who had stayed here that night. They washed their faces with ice water to dispel the drunkenness, and then took their own tooth soldiers to protect Wang Yun and fled together.
Wang Ling and the others had just left the shogunate and were heading west along the street.
Taiyuan City is the main city with two centers, divided by the Fen River, with Jinyang City to the west and Taiyuan City to the east. At this moment, the south and north gates of the east city are all open, making it impossible to defend them.
The only chance now is to go west. Only by running into Jinyang City can there be a chance of survival.
Just as Wang Ling and others rushed out with Wang Yun surrounded, they met an army head-on, which was Pang De and others. Originally, Pang De and the others had been guarding the south gate. When Zhang Chong led the Chinese army to move to the south gate, he saw Pang De was anxious and ugly, so he curiously asked him:
"Ling Ming, what's wrong with you? Do you blame me for not letting you go to the battlefield?"
Not wanting to make a joke, Pound knelt down heavily and begged:
"Your Majesty, I wanted to go into the city to rescue Mr. Pei, but I was unable to do so because of the previous military orders. Now that your Majesty has arrived, I would like to ask for permission to take my brothers into the city."
Zhang Chong was suspicious for a moment and asked:
"The Mr. Pei you are talking about is Pei Ye, the governor of Taiyuan?"
Seeing Pang De nod, Zhang Chong thought for a while and said:
"I don't know what your connection is with him, but since you have your own judgment, go for it."
Pound nodded heavily and explained:
"When I was in the city before, it was only because of Pei Jun that I was able to survive until now. I'm worried that if we enter the city, he will feel that he is at fault and will commit suicide."
Zhang Chong said nothing, shook his hand, and let Pang De and the others go.
Finally, Pang De led Ma Dai and others into the city again, leaving only Zhang Ernan and the others, who were the righteous citizens anyway.
Zhang Chong looked at Pang De and the others' backs and shook his head.
And here, Pang De and the others were fighting all the way towards the shogunate. They didn't meet Pei Ye, but they met Wang Yun and his party.
At this time, the enemy was extremely jealous when they met.
Over there, Wang Ling and others saw Pang De and the others holding their swords, but they didn't know that these people were traitors, so they combined old and new hatreds and attacked Pang De and the others.
But with just one blow, Pound's horse penetrated Wang Ling's chest, and this figure who should have had a story in history ended here in depression.
As soon as Wang Ling died, Wang Yun's eyes turned red. He was already planning to fight the Taishan Army here.
But at this time, another soldier came out from the shogunate. It was the Taiyuan generals who had woken up. While they were killing Pang De and the others, they shouted to Wang Yun:
"Your Majesty, leave quickly."
Wang Yun's expression changed drastically, and finally he slapped his horse hard and fled towards the west.
Along the way, as Wang Yun's people became fewer and fewer, they all stayed behind to resist the influx of Taishan troops behind them.
On this street, soldiers and horses from both sides fought face to face, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Although there were fewer and fewer people behind him, the south gate was already in sight. As long as he passed the south gate and got on the pontoon bridge on the Fen River, he could successfully escape into Jinyang City.
But at this moment, the seated war horse suddenly tripped over a rope in the darkness, and Wang Yun flew out with the war horse.
As soon as he landed, Wang Yun vomited a mouthful of blood. He still wanted to move, but found that his whole body had been knocked out of strength, so he struggled and turned his head to the side.
There, in the darkness, a pair of cowhide boots came closer and closer. When Wang Yun tried hard to open his eyes to see the person coming, he smiled and said:
"Ji'er, you came just in time, help me up quickly. The pursuers will be coming soon. You come with me."
The visitor turned out to be Wang Ji, the son of Wang Rou, the general who protected the Huns.
Wang Ji first looked at Wang Yun who was wailing like a dead dog with an expressionless face, then suddenly smiled and said sadly:
"Uncle, my good uncle, when you mocked my father in the past, did you ever think about today?"
Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, looked Wang Ji up and down, and smiled:
"Like father, like son. Your father's great talent lost his life, and you also lost your wits. You don't think that if you take me and surrender to the Taishan Army, you will have a way out? I tell you, one day is for rebellion, and the whole day is for rebellion. Ni. Do you think Taishan Army will reuse a traitor?”
Wang Yun also knew what would happen to him. He only blamed himself for being bitten by a wolf cub.
Wang Ji over there was also stunned by these words, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head:
"Uncle, uncle, do you really think that everyone is as obsessed with fame and wealth as you are? What I ask for is pleasure and revenge. So, after saying so much, uncle, you still want to live."
< br>
After saying that, Wang Ji walked towards Wang Yun without giving him another chance, and then strangled Wang Yun's neck with his knees.
Wang Yun wanted to push away with all his strength, but that knee was as motionless as a mountain. Before long, he was already plunged into darkness.
After doing this, Wang Ji stood up and left here.
But he didn't expect that just when he was about to disappear into the darkness, across the street from the direction where Wang Yun came, a bloody warrior saw this scene.
He is Wang Yun's eldest nephew, Wang Chen, and Wang Ji's close friend.
At this time, Wang Chen was stunned. He walked towards Wang Yun's body sluggishly, looking at his comfortable and purple face, crying silently.
Finally, as the footsteps behind him got closer and closer, Wang Chen slapped his head hard and then ran towards the west.
In the rear, when the pursuers of the Taishan Army caught up, they saw Wang Yun's body and everyone shouted:
"Wang Yun is dead!"
……
After Pang De and the others dispersed Wang Yun and the others, they did not pursue them again, but went straight through the Thorny Gate and rushed into the shogunate.
But they arrived a step too late. By the time Pang De and the others rushed into the festival hall, under a foot of white silk, the prefect Pei Ye had already blamed him on the beam.
Pang De looked at Pei Ye's body, opened his mouth, and finally turned it into a sigh. After a long time, he and Ma Dai put Pei Ye down and sighed:
"Mr. Pei Fu, this Han Dynasty is not worthy of your treatment."
At this time, shouts for people to evacuate were heard outside the shogunate. They were shouting:
"Wang Yun is dead!"
"Wang Yun is dead!"
At this time, Pound finally burst into tears:
"He is the one who deserves to die."
But no matter what, Pei Ye couldn't hear it anymore.
Although Wang Yun died, the battle in Taiyuan City did not end there.
As powerful family heads return home one after another, they try their best to fight the Taishan army to the death.
These people know very well that these people are on the must-kill list of the Taishan Army. Instead of dying in humiliation, it is better to fight to the death.
Therefore, when the news of Wang Yun's death reached Zhang Chong's station at the South Gate Tower, Zhang Chong said "hmm" and continued to mobilize his troops to surround and kill the Taiyuan heroes.
Taiyuan's power was mainly concentrated in the east of the city. At this moment, Zhang Chong not only dispatched the cavalry outside the city into the city, but also ordered Yu Jin in the north to send armored soldiers to attack Fangli in the east of the city from the north.
That night, the shouts of killing echoed for miles in Dongcheng. The Taishan Army launched three consecutive offensives before wiping out the rebel powerful tribe in the inner area.
As the last trace of resistance in the east city was suppressed, cheers started from the east, then spread to the west of the city, and then the four cities cheered in unison.
They shouted:
"Long live my king!"
In this way, amidst the shouts of long live, Taiyuan City was defeated.
