"Our Han army, thirty thousand, has arrived at the gates of the city. If you want to survive, open the door quickly and accept the surrender. You will still be rich and honorable!"
"Fellows, surrender! There is no future in defending the city. Open the city gate and we will share the wealth!"
"Runan is the Runan of the Runan people, not the Runan of the Wei state. Open the city gate quickly and welcome the king's troops into the city!"
Those trying to persuade him to surrender took turns shouting outside the city, but with little success.
The city gate of Dingying is still closed.
Regarding this result, Zhang Bao was not surprised or surprised at all.
If you can win Dynamic by just talking, it would be too unchallenging.
and
When Zhang Bao opened the city gate, he had to wonder if the people inside were pretending to surrender.
"Let's attack the city!"
Time was precious now, and there was no room for delay. Zhang Bao immediately ordered an attack on the city.
Rumble~
The Han army rushed towards the city like thunder, carrying various siege equipment and rushing towards the city.
The archers of the Wei army shot arrows like ghosts on the city wall, while the catapults on the top of the city kept throwing boulders, bombarding the Han army's formation.
The Han army's siege ladder was thrown down by the Wei army, and the Han army soldiers fell to the bottom of the city one after another, groaning in pain.
The sounds of sword clashes continued.
Dang Dang Dang~
People heard the clash of swords and the clash of knives and guns, as well as screams and roars.
"Help!"
"The dog-like Wei Gou!"
"Han thieves are disgusting!"
The Han army's siege vehicles went into battle one after another. The catapults on the city top kept throwing stones and bombarded the Han army's rams and ladder trucks.
"Come on~"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
Bang~
Bang~
Bang~
The rushing cars kept crashing into the city gate, and the city gate was overwhelmed and began to groan.
The sound of the city gate groaning made one's teeth feel sore.
"Defend the city, defend the city!"
Jiang Ling, the Wei army in charge of guarding the city, looked panicked.
The Han army's offensive was too fierce, but the preparations in the city were obviously insufficient.
Didn’t it mean that even if the Han army went to fight, they would only fight against Wu Fang, Xiping, and Cai?
How did you get me to call Dingying?
and
You have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city of Shangcai. The Han army came out in full force, but you didn't get any news at all?
Isn't this a scam?
Puff puff puff~
The Wei army defender had no choice but to go out in person, wielding a ring-shaped sword to kill the Han troops who rushed up the city wall one by one.
But then more and more Han troops rushed forward, and even he found it difficult to resist.
"It's not good, it's not good, there's a fire in the city, there's a fire in the city."
After the Han army outside the city desperately attacked the city and attracted all the Wei troops in the city to defend the city, the military commanders in the city worked together with the local nobles and those with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation and rob the city to cause chaos.
There was a battle at the top of the city, and a fire broke out behind the city.
The soldiers of Wei, who were already tense, almost collapsed.
What else are you guarding?
Withdraw!
"No retreat is allowed. Reinforcements will arrive in an instant. We will hold on for a while longer to defend Dingying!"
However, the Wei army guard had just said these words.
The Dingying city gate was hit for an hour, and finally it was overwhelmed and a hole was knocked open.
The Han army finally succeeded in breaking through the Wei army's city gate, and more and more Han troops rushed into the city through the hole.
As more and more Han troops entered the city, the Dang army's offensive began to become more fierce.
Even though the Wei army defenders resisted tenaciously, the defensive equipment in the city kept firing arrows, stones and kerosene, which put the Han army under considerable pressure.
But the traitor in the city began to ignite the gunpowder in the city, causing commotion in the city. In an instant, the city was ablaze, and the Wei army was also in chaos.
Under internal and external troubles, the fighting spirit of Wei's soldiers was gradually disintegrated.
More and more people dropped their weapons and ran towards the north gate.
And with the situation of fleeing, no matter how much the Wei army guard said to boost morale, it had no effect at all.
More and more Han troops took the opportunity to enter the city gate and staged a brutal massacre. The Wei army could no longer resist the Han army's attack.
Another hour passed.
The war is over. Corpses are everywhere in Dingying City. Collapsed walls and broken weapons are piled up. However, there is no trace of happiness on Zhang Bao's face.
"I'll see the general later."
The head of the Jianjun Division in Dingying City slowly came forward and saluted Zhang Bao.
He was covered in blood and seemed to be injured. Obviously, it was not an easy task to cause unrest in the city.
Behind this person, representatives of the noble clan wearing brocade robes or official robes, or officials anyway, were looking at Zhang Bao with flattering smiles.
"Foucault?"
"That's it."
Zhang Bao nodded and said, "You have made great achievements this time. I will put in a good word for you when I go to the meeting. How many soldiers are there in the city?"
Without the military commanders in the city stirring up trouble and fanning the flames, Dingying City would not have been so easy to capture.
"Thousands of people."
Thousands of people?
Too little!
Zhang Bao frowned and said: "Recruit two thousand local warriors on the spot to defend the city. I will leave two hundred elites to help you train your troops to defend the city. In the past few days, you must repair the city and build tools to defend the city. Prevent the Wei army from coming to attack the city!"
Foucault nodded heavily.
"My subordinate understands."
Zhang Bao's words made the nobles and officials behind him look panicked.
"Don't the generals guard Dingying? The soldiers of the Han army are brave and there are no generals to defend the city. What should we do if the Wei army attacks?"
"General, please stay!"
Fu Ke knew that Zhang Bao had other tasks, but others did not.
"Don't worry, everyone, I want to attack more than just Dingying. All you need to do is help defend the city. The Wei army cannot regard Dingying as the primary target for attacking the city. Even if there is an attack, it will only be a small group of Wei army. It is harmless. Wait. I captured the entire Runan and made dumplings of the Runan Wei army. They will be the ones panicking at that time!"
"this"
The nobles and officials still had hesitation on their faces.
But Fu Ke said: "Runan is from Runan. I, Fu Ke, am from Runan. I fell into the eyes of His Highness, and then I became a military commander and made great achievements. When I go back this time, I can Entering the martial arts hall, don’t you, the children of your family, want to enter the martial arts hall? Don’t you, the daughters of the clan, want to serve His Highness?”
After taking a breath, Fu Ke said again: "Now that your Highness has gathered two hundred thousand troops to attack Runan, the King of Wei has fled like a lost dog. Why do you worry? If you don't seize the opportunity to make meritorious deeds now, you will be in trouble in the future." I have no choice but to be the dog of the Wei people for the rest of my life. How can the family lineage be continued? Will the family still have wealth?"
After being shouted angrily by Foucault, the representatives of the gentry and officials quickly bowed to Foucault and said, "What Ambassador Fu said is absolutely true. We will do our best to defend the city for His Highness!"
Seeing that Fu Ke was able to handle the situation in Dingying City, Zhang Bao did not stop. He just replenished Dingying City with some grain, grass, soldiers and armor, recruited three thousand civilians, and headed towards Zhaoling.
Only one city was broken today.
He Zhang Bao must break through at least five cities!
He has decided on the title of His Highness's first brother-in-law!
