Zhang Zhen was right.
After he accepted Chen Ping as his adopted son, he gained the full support of the village.
The village not only sent people to inquire about the situation in Yan'an, but also contacted nearby villages to help the Han army collect food, grass and water.
morning.
The sun is bright but the weather is cold. In an open space in the Han army camp, Zhang Zhen stood with his hands folded on his chest, looking at Chen Ping boxing with a serious face.
The body is the foundation of everything, and boxing can be used to exercise the body.
After watching for a while, a slight smile appeared on his face and he nodded slightly. Chen Ping is very fat, very strong, and has a certain foundation in martial arts. He is a good young man.
If he wasn't afraid of death, he would quickly stand out on the battlefield.
In less than ten years, another general will emerge from the Han army.
After a while, Zhang Zhen handed over the matter of urging Chen Ping to practice martial arts to the soldiers. He turned around and went back to the tent to sit down and picked up the Yan'an city defense map to study.
The tables and chairs were all sent by the Chen family.
"The defense of the Yan'an guards is not very tight, but they are very elite. If they attack Yan'an during the day, they will be able to see us soon and have enough time to prepare for battle."
"It can only be done at night, when you are sleeping soundly. Only then can you conquer Yan'an in one fell swoop."
"And it's better to go faster than later. It's too close to Yan'an. Although it's safe now, there's no guarantee when something will go wrong."
Zhang Zhen put down the topographic map, his eyes flashing, and his right hand unconsciously placed on the map southwest of Yan'an City.
The city is important, but not important.
The key is to quickly destroy the Yan'an Guard's combat capabilities. That is where the Yan'an guards lived, and Xiao Yu and the guards were killed or captured.
"The fight will be tonight." Zhang Zhen said in a cold voice, his eyes dimmed.
...........
"Da da da!"
On the mountainous path, the Han army changed back to Han army uniforms and took out the banner with the word "Han". Taking advantage of the cover of night, we quickly headed for Yan'an.
Zhang Zhen was wearing heavy armor and riding a horse in the middle of the team.
Chen Ping was wearing armor that didn't fit well and was walking beside Zhang Zhen with an excited look on his shoulders.
Zhang Zhen lowered his head and glanced at Chen Ping, not wanting to bring him here. But he insisted on coming, and the Chen family also agreed.
He said that since he joined the army, life and death were decided by his fate.
Just let it go.
The Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi produced strong and brave young men who were not afraid of death.
Zhang Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked forward. There are really mountains connected with mountains, and the road is really difficult to travel.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the people in front stopped. A guide turned back and bent down to report to Zhang Zhen: "General, not far away is the southwest of Yan'an City."
"How long is it until dawn?" Zhang Zhen turned around and asked.
"About two and a half hours." One of the soldiers replied.
"Yes. Order the soldiers to eat dry food and drink water. Rest on the spot for an hour." Zhang Zhen nodded, turned over and dismounted.
"Yes." The soldiers immediately went down to deliver the order.
Chen Ping immediately brought the sheepskin water bag, handed it to Zhang Zhen and said, "Father."
"You can eat too. Remember not to drink water too quickly. Drink it in small sips. Hold a sip in your mouth and wait until it is hot before swallowing."
"It's cold now. If you drink too much, you'll get sick and you'll die if you fight." Zhang Zhen took the sheepskin water bag and said to him.
"Yes." Chen Ping remembered it in his mind, nodded in response, and followed the order as expected, drinking water and eating dry food in small sips.
"Yes." Zhang Zhen smiled with satisfaction, took out the dry food and ate it in small bites.
An hour passed quickly. When the soldiers were on the road, their bodies were very hot and even sweating. It's a bit cold now, so some soldiers took out sorghum wine and took a sip from time to time.
Their physical strength was replenished.
Zhang Zhen called ten hundred households and gathered them together. He said in a deep voice: "The Yan'an Guards are not very well-defended. Once we reach the bottom of the city wall, we will definitely be able to break into the city."
"After entering the city, follow the plan. First, quickly surround the area where the Yan'an Guards are located."
"Shout, those who surrender will not be killed."
"Yes." Hundreds of households responded solemnly.
"Send troops." Zhang Zhen nodded and ordered.
Ten hundred households immediately took action. Three of them had soldiers wearing heavy armor. They abandoned the others and only carried steel knives, bones and long ladders in front.
Soldiers from seven hundred households followed closely behind.
Zhang Zhen himself led dozens of soldiers to fight with Chen Ping, who fell last.
"Enemy attack!!!"
The defense of Yan'an Guard is not very tight, and there are not many defenders on the city wall. But they were all extremely alert and soon discovered the figure in the darkness and sounded a warning.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!" What they responded to were arrows shot by Han army archers. Most of the soldiers of the Yan'an Guard screamed and fell to the ground. A few escaped by chance and hid under the female wall, not daring to peek their heads. .
"superior."
The Han soldiers set up a long ladder and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly climb up the city wall.
"We are the Han army, and those who surrender will not be killed." The Han army officers who boarded the city shouted that those who surrender will not be killed. It did frighten several soldiers of the Yan'an Guard, but there were still some brave soldiers who rushed forward to fight with the Han army.
Because they were outnumbered, they were all killed by the Han army.
"Follow the plan." A member of the household shouted and took the lead down the steps down the city wall.
The Han army advanced one after another and entered the southwest of Yan'an City.
The living area of Yan'an guard households and soldiers.
The Yan'an Guards suddenly went into chaos. Some of their soldiers lived at home and were sleeping with their wives in their arms when the incident occurred.
After hearing the noise, the soldiers all opened their quilts and asked their wives to put on their armor. Chaos. When they finally put on their armor and came out, the streets were already occupied by Han troops.
They couldn't find the officer, and the officer couldn't find them. There was no organization and very few soldiers to attack the Han army.
Anyone who dared to rush out was killed.
“Those who surrender will not be killed!!!!”
"We are Han troops, not rogue bandits. We do not kill Han people, nor do we rob Han people."
The Han soldiers shouted slogans repeatedly without interruption. This caused some Yan'an Guard soldiers to give up resistance and return home to wait for the result.
However, they did not dare to remove their armor and still held the steel sword firmly.
The Han army knew this area very well, and the soldiers surrounded and controlled this area.
at the same time. A soldier from a hundred households was in front, and dozens of soldiers were behind, surrounding Zhang Zhen and heading to the commanding officer's office.
Zhang Zhen was holding a horse's spear eight feet long and riding a stolen war horse, looking majestic and majestic.
After arriving at the commander's office, Zhang Zhen pointed at the closed door with his horse and shouted: "Xiao Yu, listen, I am the emperor's nephew, general Zhang Zhen."
"I know you are a talent. If you come out and surrender, I am willing to recommend you to the emperor."
