Chapter 469 Quick Attack Kunyang
"It finally came out." Zhang Jaw heaved a sigh of relief.
After coming out of the Pingding Mountain Road, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up. The three thousand Nanyang Army who had been walking on the mountain road for three days and three nights suddenly had an open mind. They wanted to shout a few times to express their feelings, but they could only think Let it go, otherwise Zhang Jaw will have to kill them.
"General Zhang, Kunyang City is ahead." Fazheng's complexion has returned to normal, at least nothing unusual can be seen from his appearance.
Looking at it from a distance, Zhang Jai could only see the outline of Kunyang City looming in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Guangwu's hegemony began in Kunyang, recalling the battle of Kunyang, it really makes people feel deeply moved."
Fazheng nodded: "Yes, back then Emperor Guangwu was just a farmer, and because he had no horses, he had to ride an ox into battle, but he defeated Xinmang's 420,000 army. This is a hero!"
Kunyang is just an ordinary small town, but it is famous in history because of a great battle between ancient and modern times, just like Guandu, Chibi, and Feishui.
When Gaozu beheaded the White Snake and rebelled, the White Snake said: If you behead my head, I will turn the man to the head; if you behead my tail, I will turn the man to the tail. In a rage, Gaozu cut the white snake into two pieces from the middle.
Later, as the white snake said, Liu Bang killed the middle of the white snake, and the white snake rebelled in the middle of the Han Dynasty, that is, the famous Wang Mang usurped the Han.
Liu Ao, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, was absurd and spoiled the two sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, delaying state affairs. Wang Mang, on the other hand, began to rise during this period, and finally took control of the power of the Han Dynasty, abolished the Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty, calling himself emperor.
The Han Dynasty had been established for more than 200 years and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the descendants of the Liu family all over the country rose up against Wang Mang, especially the Nanyang Gengshi Emperor.
Wang Mang was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He was determined to decide the world in one battle. He dispatched a total of 420,000 troops to surround Kunyang in one go. He was determined to break through Kunyang first and then surround Nanyang.
Liu Xiu was not the prestigious Emperor Guangwu at the time, but a young general in the army, but he voluntarily led the army to break through and ask for help. The generals in Kunyang City had nothing to do, but when they saw Liu Xiu pleading for life, they decided to let Liu Xiu go out and try.
As a result, Liu Xiu led thirteen cavalry light soldiers to break out of the siege, and soon returned with more than ten thousand troops.
However, more than 10,000 reinforcements seem to be a lot, but compared with Wang Mang's 420,000 troops, it is naturally a drop in the bucket.
Sometimes, though, "mandate of heaven" is true.
Just when Liu Xiu led the troops back to aid, a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky in Wang Mang's barracks, and more than 400,000 troops were in a mess. With a fierce attack, more than 400,000 troops collapsed and were defeated by more than 10,000 reinforcements from Liu Xiu, causing countless casualties.
While Liu Xiu's fame spread throughout the world by virtue of the Battle of Kunyang, Wang Mang's new dynasty lost its main force and entered the countdown to its demise.
Zhang Jai looked at Kunyang City in front of him, clenched the spear in his hand, and pointed the spear at the head of Kunyang City.
"Soldiers, Emperor Guangwu's victory in the battle of Kunyang is due to the 200-year-old fate of the Han Dynasty. Today is the time for the great man to make great achievements. Follow me if you have the courage!"
After all, Zhang Jai rushed out first, and the three thousand soldiers behind him had passed the test of crossing mountains and ridges. All the dragons and tigers roared one after another, and rushed out like tigers descending from the mountain.
"kill!"
"Seize Kunyang!"
The 3,000 Nanyang Army rushed out suddenly, and launched a charge a few miles away from Kunyang City.
The gate of Kunyang City was opened, and people in twos and threes came in and out, and the city guards were lazily sleeping against the wall.
Yuan Jun's soldiers on the top of the city were half asleep and half awake, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting for killing. Looking out, they saw only three thousand Nanyang troops coming to kill them. They were startled and then uttered a sharp cry Voice.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Whoosh!
A powerful arrow came first, the shouting stopped abruptly, and a corpse fell from the top of the city weakly, and fell into the moat, splashing a lot of water.
"Enemy attack, there are enemy troops!"
"Where are the city gate guards? Close the city gate quickly."
Seeing the army approaching, the people at the city gate were in a mess. The city guards wanted to close the city gate, but the people crowded around the city gate in panic, and it was impossible to close the city gate for a while.
"Why don't you close the city gate?"
The county lieutenant was furious, ran over with his helmet tilted, and scolded angrily.
The city gate guard said helplessly: "County officer, it's not that I don't close the city gate, it's just that the people outside the city are crowded outside the city gate, and it really can't be closed for a while."
"waste!"
The county lieutenant was furious, and grabbed the guard's armor: "Shoot me, tell these commoners, get out or die!"
The guard on the top of the city was trembling, and shouted to the people below the city: "You go, or we will shoot arrows!"
The common people don't care about it, if they don't enter the city, what if they are killed by the wolf-like enemy outside?
"Go away!" The county lieutenant kicked the guard away, drew his bow and shot.
"Ah!" An old man in his fifties screamed, clutching his chest.
"The officers and soldiers killed people."
"Run!"
Seeing that the defenders at the top of the city really opened their bows and arrows, the people under the top of the city were startled, turned around and ran away, and the county captain breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing in a daze, close the city gate quickly."
Without the obstruction of the people, the city gate began to close slowly, but at this moment, a fierce general with a spear suddenly jumped across the moat and landed in front of the city gate.
"open!"
The spear in Zhang Jai's hand suddenly swung out, and the city gate that was about to close was knocked open by Zhang Jai. Thanks to the fact that many common people disrupted the situation at the gate of the city before, Zhang Jaw finally opened the gate of the city.
"Get in!"
With a roar of Zhang Jaw, the three thousand Nanyang troops finally arrived, and immediately poured in from the west gate. The three thousand Nanyang troops trekked across the Pingding Mountain Road for three full days. At this moment, their hearts were full of resentment, and all of them were released immediately.
The Yuan Shu army in the city normally had the strength to oppress the people, but when they met the Nanyang army who was like a wolf like a tiger, they immediately fell into the narrow gap. The first army of the Nanyang Army was a small formation, and the five of them cooperated with each other to kill Yuan Shujun's helmet and armor.
Although Kunyang City has a great reputation, it is not a big city. Therefore, there are not many troops stationed in the city, less than a thousand people. The three thousand Nanyang Army is an elite army selected from the best, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to completely control it. Lived in Kunyang City, controlled important facilities such as government offices, granaries and arsenals, and closed the city gates on all sides.
When the people in the city heard the shouts of killing outside, they trembled in fright, and hurriedly closed the doors of their houses, not daring to come out. At the same time, they felt a little strange: Which army is outside?
