The soldiers of the Bingzhou Cavalry use [imitation Arverberg double-edged stabbing spear], which can directly replace spears and broadswords. When encountering enemies, they can stab or cut without having to switch weapons. In terms of effectiveness and power, their effectiveness and power are greatly improved.
Puff puff!
"Ahhh!"
Xiahou Dun, who was standing at the back, was horrified when he saw the soldiers on his side falling down one by one like wheat.
"Archer!"
Xiahou Dun yelled crazily and wanted to use archers to suppress the Bingzhou cavalry, but unfortunately, in order to defend the city, the archers had already climbed onto the city wall. At this moment, it was not that easy to mobilize archers for defense.
Man Chong ran to Xiahou Dun, sweating profusely, and said loudly, "General Xiahou, I'm afraid we can't stop him anymore, so we'd better leave here."
"No!"
Xiahou Dun roared angrily, "My lord asked me to guard Tao, how could I give up so easily? Even if I die in battle, I will never leave."
Man Chong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly, "General Xiahou, it is absolutely impossible that what Lu Bu'er is planning is just Dingtao, and he might even go straight to Puyang and Juancheng.
General Xiahou, my lord is not in Yanzhou now. You must take care, otherwise Yanzhou will not be safe. "
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun reacted suddenly, secretly yelled something bad, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Man Chong was right. After Lu Bu's son occupied Dingtao, he would definitely continue to attack.
Not to mention Puyang, the lord's family records are all in Juancheng. If something happens, how can he be worthy of the lord's trust?
Xiahou Dun also knew very well that even if the Ding Tao was lost, as long as Juancheng was saved, the lord would never blame him.
"Man Zheng, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have really missed something important."
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
The Bingzhou cavalry brandished [imitation Arverberg double-edged stabbing spears] and rushed into the city wildly, killing the Cao soldiers defending the city.
The infantry of Lu Bu's army also rushed in quickly after the Bingzhou cavalry broke through the city gate.
By the time Cao Jun's soldiers on the city wall came down to defend, Lu Bu's soldiers were already at the city gate and could form a formation to block Cao Jun's attack.
At this point in the battle, there was actually no big suspense. The soldiers of Lu Bu's army broke through the city gate, and their morale was like a rainbow. They were all like tigers descending from the mountain, killing Cao's soldiers crazily.
The soldiers of Cao's army were already in a state of chaos because the city gate was breached. Seeing that the enemy was becoming more and more fierce, some of them fled halfway, and how could they dare to fight forward.
In addition, Xiahou Dun had already led his lieutenant general to escape, and Cao's army in the city was left in a state of chaos with no one to direct the battle, and their combat effectiveness plummeted.
As Cao's soldiers continued to flee and surrender, most of Lu Bu's soldiers rushed into the city and began to follow Lu Bu's orders to hunt down the remaining Cao soldiers in the city.
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Lu Bu led his guards to the city and immediately issued the first order.
"No one is allowed to disturb the people, otherwise military law will be imposed."
The generals of each battalion naturally knew Lu Bu's intentions, and immediately conveyed this order, and at the same time tried their best to speed up the capture of the remaining soldiers of Cao's army.
…
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Zhang Laowu's home was very close to the city gate. When he heard that Lu Bu's army was coming to attack the city, he was so frightened that he hid at home and did not dare to go out.
Now I heard the loud shouts of killing outside the city gate, and several people were hiding at home, shivering.
No matter which soldiers and horses rush into the city, the first to suffer are the common people. Just like the last time Xiahou Dun led his troops into the city, the soldiers immediately started killing and looting wantonly.
Zhang Laowu's family, which was very close to the city gate, was of course the first to be robbed.
That time, not only was the family's food and property robbed, but Zhang Laowu also had his legs broken because he stopped the soldiers from looting.
Zhang Laowu was sitting in the room, touching his legs that were still aching, his face a little pale, and cold sweat still breaking out on his forehead.
Next to him, there was a hatchet he used to chop wood. It was the only weapon in his family.
The old lady with hair as silk as snow walked gently to her son's side and said, "Go to sleep for a while, you are tired too."
Zhang Laowu reluctantly shook his head, "Mom, go to sleep, I'm not sleepy yet."
The old lady nodded, not persuading, but quietly reached out to pick up the hatchet and prepared to leave.
"Mom, put down the hatchet so you can defend yourself if something happens."
But the old lady shook her head, "There is nothing for you to protect at home, so you should be honest and don't be like last time, alas!"
Zhang Laowu looked at his legs, his teeth chattering, and his eyes seemed to be filled with anger.
At this moment, a shout like a landslide and tsunami suddenly came from the city gate.
"The city is broken, let's charge!"
Immediately afterwards, countless shouts of death and screams sounded almost at the same time.
Zhang Laowu subconsciously reached out to touch the hatchet, but missed it and said hurriedly, "Mom, come here quickly, they are coming in."
The old lady shook her head, tears suddenly shed in her eyes, "Son, if they are willing to rob, let them rob. Anyway, we have nothing to rob. You must not be stubborn again. What if, ugh Woohoo!”
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
At the end of the story, the old lady was so frightened that she couldn't help crying.
Zhang Laowu punched the table next to him and roared angrily.
"What kind of world is this!"
Looking at his elderly mother and his trembling wife and children beside him, Zhang Laowu burst into tears as he listened to the shouts of death outside.
"I'm useless, I'm so useless!"
The shouts of death at the city gate are getting louder and louder, and getting closer.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Countless footsteps and screams sounded in front of the door, running towards the distance.
"No, we can't stop it. Let's run."
Listening to the screams outside, Zhang Laowu's family had gathered around him, and they could see the fear in each other's eyes.
Zhang Laowu's father was killed again, what will happen this time?
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "Daughter-in-law, hide quickly and don't let them see her."
"And Niuniu, you should also hide quickly."
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she was so frightened that she trembled and cried, "Where are you hiding?"
The old lady hurriedly said, "Hide in the stove, don't be afraid of getting dirty!"
The family came to the kitchen, Zhang Laowu picked up the big pot, his wife and children got into the stove, and then put the big pot on the top.
"Dad, I can't breathe."
The old lady said hurriedly, "Niuniu, don't make any sound."
Zhang Laowu looked at my mother and said, "Mom, you should also hide."
The old lady shook her head, "I've had enough of this world, why should I hide? Son, you'd better hide."
Zhang Laowu shook his head, "Where can I hide?"
The mother and son came to the front hall, lit the oil lamp that they usually didn't want to light, and sat down across from each other, waiting for the nightmare to come.
The shouts of killing outside the door became louder and louder, deafening. It seemed that the battle between the two sides had reached an intense level.
The mother and son heard the sounds outside getting closer and closer, and knew that the time was coming. They turned their heads to look in the direction of the door, with a trace of sadness in their eyes.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
"Marquis Wen has ordered that Cao Jun in the city must be cleared tonight, and the battle will be over at dawn."
"As you command!"
As the sect's orders were passed on, bursts of hurried footsteps could be heard one after another, rushing to various parts of the city.
At the same time, the shouts of killing gradually weakened.
The mother and son looked at the direction of the door with wide eyes until the last moment came.
Maybe in the next moment, someone will kick open the door!
However, the eyes of the two of them were already a little sore, but no one came to kick open the door.
And the man just sat quietly until late at night. The old lady was so tired that she only yawned, but still no one came to kick the door of his house.
Zhang Laowu looked at his old mother who was gasping for air and said, "Mom, why don't you go and take a nap."
The old lady shook her head, "No need!"
Although he said he didn't need it, he was old and couldn't bear the trouble, so he leaned against the wall behind and fell asleep sitting like that.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old lady suddenly woke up and asked, “Son, are they here?”
Well!
Zhang Laowu, who was sleeping against the wall on the other side, woke up suddenly and hurriedly turned to look at the door, only to find that the door was intact and there was no sign of any damage.
Zhang Laowu turned his head and looked at his old mother, his eyes full of doubts, "Why didn't they come?"
It was already daybreak, and it was eerily quiet outside. The shouting of murder last night seemed like a dream, as if it had never happened.
The old lady was also full of doubts. She looked at the sky outside, then stood up and said, "I'll go outside and take a look."
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from outside the door. As the sound of horse hooves sounded, bursts of shouts also reached everyone's ears.
"Folks, don't panic, Cao Jun has been driven away."
"Everyone, listen, Marquis Wen has issued an order. The ban on the city has been lifted. Everyone can come in and out freely and buy what they need."
"Marquis Wen has ordered that if the family is disabled or in difficulty, they can go to the county government office to receive relief."
"Marquis Wen has an order to build a workshop in the city, which will require a lot of labor. If you are willing to sign up, you can sign up at the county government office. You will be responsible for three meals a day, and you will be paid 5 cents, and you will be settled on the same day."
"Marquis Wen has an order. People who are willing to join the army can sign up in the military camp. After passing the selection, they can enjoy a monthly salary of 300 yuan. If there are difficulties, you can pay one month's salary in advance."
“If you don’t understand something, you can go to the street corner and check the notice.”
…
After the sound of horse hooves disappeared, the old lady turned her head and looked at her son, "Son, my ears are not working well. Why do they sound like they are giving money?"
Zhang Laowu rubbed his eyes and felt a little confused. Thinking of what those knights said just now, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Mom, those people seemed to say there was a notice just now. Can we find out if we go see it?"
The old lady suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Oh, son, since everything is fine, let your wife come out."
Zhang Laowu slapped his head and hurried to the kitchen to open the big pot, "Come out quickly, it's okay."
The daughter-in-law and children were stained with soot as if they were the bottom of a pot. They crawled out tremblingly, "Fifth brother, have they left?"
Zhang Laowu was in a very relaxed mood. He rolled up his sleeves and wiped the ashes from his wife's face. "They haven't come yet. You and your children should wash your faces first, and I'll go out and take a look."
When Zhang Laowu and his mother walked out of the house, they discovered that countless people, just like the two of them, walked out of the house with doubtful eyes and walked toward the corner of the street.
Zhang Laowu’s mother caught up with an old lady in front of her and said, “Sister-in-law, it seemed like I wanted to give out money just now. Is that true?”
The old lady shook her head and lowered her voice and said, "How is this possible? In all my life, I have only heard of soldiers robbing people, but I have never heard of people being paid."
"Well, as long as they don't let us hand over all the grain, we should burn incense and stop dreaming about giving out money."
When Zhang Laowu's mother heard this, the expression of joy on her face immediately froze, and then she nodded, "Yeah, I've never heard of it. It seems I heard it wrong."
The group of people came to the street entrance. There was a flat wall here, which was specially used by the government to post notices. At this moment, the open space in front was filled with people, and the flat wall was airtight.
The old lady was weak and couldn't squeeze in. When she was anxious, Zhang Laowu squeezed out from the crowd dripping with sweat and said excitedly.
"Mom, it's true. You heard me right. It's all true."
Zhang Laowu was stunned, almost wondering if his ears were not working well. "What is real? What is going on?"
Although Zhang Laowu didn't know how to read, he squeezed into the crowd and heard the explanation from someone who knew how to read.
"Mom, the notice says that if there is a disabled or immobile person in your family who cannot eat, you can go to the county government office to get some emergency food.
As for those who are in good health, the government will not give them to them. "
"That's right!"
Zhang Laowu's mother stared at her son with wide eyes, "Are you really going to give out food?"
Zhang Laowu waved his hand, "Mom, we don't have disabled people in our family. Of course we can't, but we can go to work. They provide us with three meals a day and give us 5 yuan of wages that day. Do you think this is a good thing?" "
Zhang Laowu's mother's eyes suddenly lit up, "I take care of three meals and pay 5 cents in wages. Is this true?"
Zhang Laowu nodded, hesitated, and lowered his voice and said, "Mom, if you join the army and take care of three meals a day, you will get 300 money a month.
Every time there is a battle, there will be corresponding rewards, which are said to be quite large.
And if your family is in difficulty, you can also pay for one month in advance. "
Hearing this, the old lady immediately became alert and shook her head hastily, "No, I won't agree."
At this moment, a shouting voice suddenly came from the crowd, "I'm going to the military camp. Can any of you go and see it together?"
"Let's go together."
"And I."
"Wait for me."
In the blink of an eye, there were a dozen strong young men in the crowd, leaving the crowd and walking towards the military camp.
There were other older men who looked at these young men with envy and said helplessly, "I'm afraid I can't go to the military camp, so I'd better go to a rental house. If you can't make 300 yuan, 5 yuan is still good." "
