Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 963 Mi Yang in despair

  At this moment, the **** battle in Meiyang was already horrific.

  The siege battle has always been the most **** thing, and now that Xiliang soldiers are on the verge of running out of food, failing to capture Meiyang City is tantamount to a dead end, so they have no scruples and use all tricks.

Fan Chou was originally a person who came up from the bottom with his own bravery, and he had no worries at all. Although Han Sui was born in Xiliang Haoyou, he got used to it after staying in the Qianghu area for a long time. Because of Qianghu's behavior, these two people led the people in Wubao around Meiyang to attack the city, basically without any psychological barriers, and they were very agile.

  During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, the wars between the princes were a bit like the battles between the enfeoffed nobles in the Middle Ages in Europe, or the wars in Europe in the Middle Ages had only evolved to the level of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period in China...

  Expelling the common people and attacking the city is a common method used by nomads to attack farming peoples. Among the soldiers led by Fan Chou and Han Sui, there are quite a few Qiang people, so it is not difficult to implement.

  In Guanzhong, there was no Wubao.

  At least during the Qin Dynasty, there was no so-called Wubao. Because of the Qin Dynasty, all land is state-owned, and everyone obtains land by virtue of military exploits. As for the matter of daring to hide the population and store food privately, no one dares to do such a thing in front of the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty .

It's just that after Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, on the one hand, in order to cut off the leeks that grew too gratifyingly in various counties and counties, on the other hand, it was also to add sand to the population of the old Qin family in Guanzhong, so waves of people from the Kanto came to Guanzhong , It also brought the model of Wubao Manor into Guanzhong, forming the basic state of the current Guanzhong gentry.

Among these people, some saw the coming of the war, and they had already migrated to the east and south one after another. Most of them went to Hanzhong and Jingbei, and some even continued to migrate south to Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. It is difficult for people to leave their homeland and stay in Guanzhong.

  And now, these local tyrants who stayed in Guanzhong finally encountered unreasonable swords and guns.

  The population was hijacked away, the fields were unattended to be cultivated, and weeds began to spread among the young crops.

   Those who dared to resist were all dead, their corpses lying in the wilderness, and their heads were chopped off and piled up at the intersection.

  Fan Chou and Han Sui turned a blind eye to all this, or everything that would happen in the future, and they were forced to this point. There is still a lot to control!

  The veil of warmth that was still a little bit before was torn off. As soon as the attack on Meiyang started, Fan Chou and Han Sui brought their soldiers, brought all the Wubao along the way, and the surrounding people together, forcing these people to attack the city wall of Meiyang again and again. Shock!

  All the surviving materials of several generations, even more than a dozen generations, in Wubao were all looted! Anyone who resisted, males, young or old, would all be slaughtered, and women would be **** and thrown on a baggage cart. Fan Chou and Han Sui even said that if they captured Meiyang, they would let their soldiers choose and enjoy according to their merits !

Hundreds of soldiers chaotically drove the bunches of nearly 2,000 civilians, smashing them with knives, whips, and beating them with long spears, forcing these civilians to step on the mud that had been soaked in blood and turned into black pulp. To fill trenches, to erect ladders, to dig walls...

Under the city of Meiyang, twisted and entangled, the black charcoal-like objects, like the rotten and withered branches in winter, are the bodies under the fire oil. If they don't see it for themselves, it is impossible for ordinary people to imagine that a normal-sized person is lying on the ground. After being burned into black charcoal by the fire, it will shrink into such a small size. With a slight touch, the ripe and charred skin will come off one after another, revealing the sparkling bones.

  In the moat of the city a little far away from this area, there are layers of corpses, men, women, old and young, of all kinds, everything you expect. Sporadic flames were burning on these corpses, exuding the unique smell of burning fat and meat fibers

The trench outside the city of Meiyang used to be three feet deep and one foot five wide, but now, it is still basically filled with all kinds of corpses, most of which are the corpses of civilians in ragged clothes, stacked one on top of the other. There were still a few who were not dead, but were injured, and the Xiliang soldiers also thought they were useless, so they threw these people into the trench without mercy.

As waves of people died below the city, the counterattack on the city gradually became fragmented. Only a few generals were still shouting hoarsely, asking the soldiers to fight back, but not only the soldiers were almost exhausted at the moment, they even The equipment for defending the city is also lacking, so how can we effectively counterattack?

The lieutenant of Meiyang City was covered in blood, some of his own and some of others. He hung his right arm, but still held a saber in his left hand. He walked from one end of the city to the other, shouting at the top of his lungs: "West! Liang thieves only dare to drive the people to attack the city to die! They dare not lay down their lives to attack the city! The commander has sent for help! The Xiliang thieves are also guarding against reinforcements from martial arts! Reinforcements will arrive soon! Another two days, and more Two days!"

  The lieutenant yelled until his throat split, but he kept on shouting, because he knew that if the army's morale was scattered now, it would be an immediate defeat!

   But when the reinforcements will come, the captain himself has no idea...

  Suddenly there was a screaming sound from below the city, and the captain almost instinctively stuck his short body under the battlement of the city wall, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Raise the shield! Sword and shield, hand and shield..."

After shouting to the captain twice, he realized that there are actually not many swordsmen left. These soldiers facing the front line are the first batch of soldiers to die. will come. The captain crouched under the battlements, dodging this wave of arrows, heard several screams around him, and knew that several soldiers who were too late to dodge or were slightly distracted died in this wave of arrows up.

  Now the soldiers in the city are being consumed little by little. The original defenders are no longer enough. They have already mobilized two or three waves of civilians to help defend the city. If the consumption continues like this...

  The sound of arrows sweeping through the air, like knives rolling across Meiyang's dilapidated city wall.

The sky has gradually dimmed, only some burnt utensils above and below the city reveal a faint light in the thick blood color, which should be a warm orange, but it illuminates the bones of the ground, which will only make people feel chilling .

  Who would have thought Xiliang soldiers would do this?

  Even Dong Zhuo did not drive the people to attack cities, let alone plunder Wubao in the countryside!

   This is to cut the root!

When the soldiers from Xiliang drove the young and strong people, even the old and the weak, women and children into the battle, and attacked Meiyang frantically, when his own few archers shot all the remaining arrows, there was almost no pause When his saber cut down on neighbors whom he still had some impression of, the captain realized...

   Miyang is finished.

  If you lose, you will either be slaughtered or wrapped up to attack the next city.

  At this time, the only thing in front of the captain is to fight to the death. Rather than accepting the sword, it is better to hold on to the hope and survive! After all, five or six batches of cavalry were sent out early in the morning to ask for help. After all, someone can create a siege, and there are still a large number of imperial troops in Wugong County. You can save some lives!

   It’s just the situation in front of us. Even if we win, the population around Meiyang will be exhausted…

   Reinforcements!

  The reinforcements of the big man!

  Where are the reinforcements?

   When will reinforcements arrive?

On the head of Meiyang City, there is a battle flag with a large "Han" character written on it. Because it was smoky and the arrows penetrated it, it looked a bit tattered. Maybe it was overwhelmed, or it was hit by several arrows one after another. It hit the flagpole, and broke with a click in the rain of arrows. The flag stretched its body in the air for the last time, then fluttered, and fell to the bottom of the city, stained with blood and mud, and was immediately stepped on by a few dark feet...

What no one thought of, happened quietly. The city and the city were constantly being consumed, and it seemed that they had entered a numb see-saw time. Someone climbed the city wall along the ladder!

   Some of the people who climbed up the city wall stood at the top of the city in a daze, looking left and right, they didn’t know what they were going to do, and stood there blankly holding simple wooden spears...

   However, the Xiliang soldiers who supervised the battle under the city also stood there with their heads up for a moment, and then let out a loud cry!

   "Up! Up! Up!"

At this time, Fan Chou was still habitually standing on the front line, and when he suddenly heard that he had successfully ascended the city, he immediately rushed to the top of the city with a shield in one hand and a sharp ring head knife in the other. superior.

  At this time, the defenders of Meiyang realized that the captain rushed over with dozens of soldiers from the other side of the city, desperately resisting.

  Because everyone knows that this area at the head of the city is the last line of defense. Once it is breached, the defenders of Meiyang will no longer have the ability to fight in the streets, and they can only die!

"Help the ladder!" Fan Chou raised the shield high, covering his head, biting the back of the ring-shoulder knife, stepped on the crude ladder with both feet, and climbed up in just a few breaths At the top of the city, first the shield was used to hold the stabbed spears, and then the knife was raised to sweep across with a powerful blow, forcing several Meiyang guards who were close to him to go away.

  Fan Chouli's momentum sank, he swung his big knife, and slashed off two spear shafts stabbing from one side. Amidst the sawdust flying around, he slashed down fiercely again, cutting down a person immediately, and blood splattered everywhere.

  Lieutenant Meiyang caught up and slashed at Fan Chou.

  The swords of the two people collided with each other with a clang, and the swords were framed together, and they tried their best to press forward.

  However, after all, Mei Yang’s captain has been fighting fiercely all day long, while Fan Chou has been recharging his energy in the city for most of the day, and the gap in strength gradually emerged...

Several soldiers of Meiyang saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly killed them from the side with their knives and guns, trying to help Captain Meiyang recover from the disadvantage, but Fan Chou's personal guards also caught up with the top of the city, and they all went crazy. They blocked these Meiyang defenders, and in just a few breaths, the two sides had already exchanged several lives.

  Fan Chou took another half step forward, finally grabbed a better position, then exhaled and pushed Captain Meiyang's knife aside with a loud voice, and chopped off Captain Meiyang's horrified look!

  The head of Lieutenant Mei Yang, accompanied by the **** light soaring into the sky, flew high...

  Accompanied by the death of the captain, the fighting spirit of Mei Yang's defenders was like ice and snow under the scorching summer, coupled with the exhaustion of the whole body, he shouted immediately, and then ran away in all directions.

   "The city is broken!"

   "The city is broken..."

  Mei Yang Ling heard the sound coming from the city, the blood on her face faded to pale.

   "Ling Jun! The city has been broken by bandit soldiers, and it is inviolable. Please leave the city quickly! A certain guard will keep you safe!" Mei Yang Ling's personal guard said eagerly aside.

"Let's go?" Mei Yangling repeated in a murmur, then shook his head, and said with a sad smile, "Xiliang's thieves are encircling all around, how can they survive? Where can they escape?" Originally, Xiliang was still besieging Sanque One, but when they found that Meiyang did not flee, but used the gap to send cavalry for reinforcements, Fan Chou and Han Sui were furious and led their troops to surround Meiyang, a small county, and now they wanted to break out. Easier said than done.

   "Let's surrender..." Mei Yangling sighed and said.

  At the moment, Guanzhong was in chaos, and I didn’t know what to do. First, Wang Yun, then Li Jue and Guo Si, and then immediately replaced by Zhong Shao and others, and then it seemed that Li Jue and the others fought back...

  Anyway, I tried my best, so it makes sense no matter what.

   Drop it.

   Doesn’t that person come to power all the time, does it make a big difference to me?

The sound of fighting on the main street gradually stopped, Fan Chou and Han Sui led Xiliang soldiers to the front of the Meiyang government office, and what they saw was Meiyang Ling kneeling in front of the gate of the house, holding the county magistrate in both hands. The seal ribbon, held up high.

   "What is this for?" Han Sui curled his lips and said to Fan Chou.

   "This is..." Fan Chou was soaked in other people's blood, and blood scum that hadn't dried up dripped down his nails, "... want to surrender? Hehe...hehe..."

Fan Chou took a few steps forward, stood in front of Mei Yang Ling, and stabbed the blood-stained sword in front of Mei Yang Ling, saying: "...Hey, why do you suddenly want to surrender? Isn't it right to fight to the death? ?”

The strong smell of blood in Fan Chou's body stimulated Mei Yang Ling to writhe in her five internal organs. When she got close, Mei Yang Ling could even see the broken bones and minced meat sticking to Fan Chou's armor, as well as a few pieces of intestines that I don't know It's still a piece of meat, and with Fan Chou's actions, it seems to be alive and trembling on its nails...

Mei Yangling hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look any more, and said softly: "...Jianghan Tangtang, Wufu Huanggang...The general is mighty, humbled..." Meiyang Ling still wanted to use this song Hanjiang to express something useful for herself, It can still help the Xiliang Army to stabilize the situation in Meiyang, and it can still help collect military supplies to calm the hearts of the people...

  But before Mei Yang Ling finished speaking, he heard Fan Chou yelling in front of him: "Qiao, you don't speak human words! Annoyed..."

Fan Chou hacked and killed all the way, and he was already capable of killing. How could he listen to Meiyang Ling's nagging, and he couldn't hear two sentences, so he impatiently raised the ring head knife, and shot at Meiyang. In the surprised and terrified eyes, he chopped it off with a single knife!

   "Hey! You... hi..." Han Sui just raised his hand when Mei Yangling's head fell to the ground.

   "What are you doing?" Fan Chou turned his head to look at Han Sui, and by the way, he stuck out his tongue to lick the blood of Mei Yangling that had splattered on his mouth, and asked with a smile.

   "Ah...it's okay, just kill it..."

  Han Sui was also speechless. He waved his hand, and the Xiliang soldiers behind him rushed up and rushed into the government office. Everyone knows that in Meiyang, whether it's people or things, everything in the government office is definitely good. At this moment, just remember to save the best for the two generals, and the rest, naturally, let's talk about it first!

  Fan Chou laughed loudly, and walked towards the government office with the knife in his hand.

  Han Sui kicked the head of Mei Yangling, who rolled to his feet, and was still dying, thinking in his heart, whatever, anyway, Guanzhong is not his own, anyway, let’s get enough benefits first...
