Zang Ba did not stay and took Yin Li and Sun Guan out of the city and back to the mountains and forests where the army was stationed.
Yin Li said excitedly: "General, we have found out the situation in Chonghe County. There are not many people in the county. Let's attack and break Chonghe County."
Sun Guan nodded hurriedly and agreed: "I thought it might not be easy to attack Chonghe County this time. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be our opportunity. This battle is too easy."
Zang Ba stroked the beard under his chin, his eyes were fiery, and he said calmly: "This battle is indeed an opportunity for us to make meritorious deeds. Next, we will arrange it like this. Ben will take ten soldiers, disperse and go to the city first. Meet at the door."
"After I got together with ten soldiers, I took decisive action and killed the soldiers at the gate of the city."
"When I blow the trumpet and give the order, you can come out with the cavalry and seize the city gate."
Zang Ba said: "If our cavalry appears outside the city, the city gate may be closed before more than 300 cavalry have approached. I will arrive first. You can approach quietly and then suddenly rush out, which will give you greater certainty."
Yin Li nodded and said: "The general is wise and will follow your arrangements."
Sun Guandao: "The general will obey your orders."
Zang Ba ordered: "Time is running out, everyone is ready to take action. No one can slip in this battle. Anyone who affects the overall situation of this battle, I will kill. If we successfully win the county seat, I will have my own reward."
"As you command!"
Yin Li and Sun Guan answered simultaneously.
The two looked excited and looked forward to breaking through the city.
Zang Ba immediately mobilized ten strong soldiers and asked them to take off their armor and wear ordinary clothes. Each weapon is wrapped up individually and hidden as much as possible to avoid being discovered.
Zang Ba and his party hurried on their way, and Zang Ba arrived at the city gate first.
However, he did not go in directly, but rode around at the gate of the city. Not long after, ten soldiers in ordinary clothes also arrived one after another.
Everyone gathered nearby.
Zang Ba decisively unsheathed his sword from his horse, rushed forward and killed the soldiers standing guard at the city gate. His soldiers also took action with lightning speed, taking out the weapons hidden behind their backs to attack, and easily captured the city gate.
There is no defense in the county, so everything is very easy.
The soldiers took out their horns and blew them.
As the horn sounded, Sun Guan and Yin Li came with their cavalry on the official road in the distance.
The people at the city gate had dispersed and kept running away. The soldiers on the city tower discovered the fighting at the city gate and quickly went down to the city tower, preparing to deal with Zang Ba, the man who was killing indiscriminately at the city gate.
However, before the leader even got close to Zang Ba, he saw the cavalry rushing towards him outside the city gate.
Three hundred cavalry galloped on horseback with a terrifying momentum.
"Run!"
The person in charge of leading the troops fled immediately.
The other soldiers also fled in droves. After all, they were all newly recruited soldiers. When they saw the cavalry coming, their courage was washed away. They lost their fighting spirit and ran away as fast as they could.
Zang Ba couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
He knew that these people were a mob, but he did not expect that these people were so useless and timid.
In the blink of an eye, Yin Li rode his horse to the city gate and shouted loudly: "General, everyone has arrived."
Zang Ba nodded, looked at the cavalry under his command, asked all the infantry following him to get on their horses, and ordered: "Let's go directly to the county government office and capture the Chonghe County Magistrate."
He rode a horse and galloped forward.
Boom! !
The sound of horse hoofbeats echoed continuously, and Zang Ba quickly rushed towards the county government office with Sun Guan, Yin Li and others. The cavalry was fast. Before the county government received the news, Zang Ba arrived outside the county government. Soldiers surrounded the county government, and Zang Ba led his men to kill them.
In a short period of time, everyone in the county government gathered.
The faces of the county officials and assistants showed panic. No one expected that a team of people would suddenly come to the good county government.
The peace of the county government was broken.
Zang Ba glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Who is the county magistrate Shen Hong? Come forward."
"I am!"
Shen Hong stood up directly.
He is a typical scribe, in his early thirties, with a slim build, relatively high cheekbones, and sharp eyebrows, giving people a very tough impression.
Shen Hong stiffened his neck and said forcefully: "Who are you? This is a government office, an area of the Jin State. You entered Chonghe County and surrounded the county government office. Once the Jin court finds out and the army encircles and suppresses you, you will definitely die."
Zang Ba grinned and said disdainfully: "I am Zang Ba, a general under King Wu."
Shen Hong's expression changed drastically.
The assistant officials of the county government looked even more shocked. Kuai Liang, the governor of Xuzhou of Wu State, led his men to kill Yuan Tan in Langya State and entered Qingzhou. This matter has long been known to everyone.
Now, Zang Ba actually reached Chonghe County.
The hardness on Shen Hong's face dissipated, and he lost the confidence he had just now, and he said loudly: "Even if your army from Wu State enters Chonghe County, Jin State will quickly come to help after it reacts."
Zang Ba smiled coldly, stopped talking to Shen Hong, and said, "Which one is the county prime minister Tian De?"
"I am."
Tian De is in his early forties and of medium build.
He had chubby cheeks and a smile on his face, giving people a rather smooth and sophisticated look. He looked humble and bowed: "Tian De, I have met General Zang Ba."
Zang Ba pointed at Shen Hong and said, "Kill Shen Hong and you will be the magistrate of Chonghe County."
brush!
Shen Hong's complexion changed suddenly.
He did not expect that Zang Ba's arrangement would be so violent and direct, without any foreplay of surrender or any relaxation.
Shen Hong said quickly: "I, I, I am willing to surrender, I am willing..."
Phew!
The tip of the sword pierced into Shen Hong's body.
A trace of cruelty flashed across Tian De's eyes, and he stabbed Shen Hong's body with his sword. After he pulled out his sword, without looking at Shen Hong who fell to the ground, he said loudly: "General Zang Ba, the leader of the thieves, Shen Hong, has been executed."
Zang Ba looked approvingly and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are very good. Now, you serve as the county magistrate, rectify Chonghe County and appease the people. In addition, spread the news that we are going to capture Chonghe County."
"Here!"
Tian De answered directly.
He killed Shen Hong, offended Shen Pei, and the Shen family in Jizhou, but Tian De didn't hesitate at all. The conflict between him and Shen Hong has been continuing, but there is no chance, so he will kill him now.
What's more, the power of Wu State is getting stronger and stronger, and it has the tendency to dominate the world. On the contrary, Yuan Shao's Jin Kingdom has been suppressed everywhere.
Serving Wu State is the best outcome.
Zang Ba looked at Tian De again and ordered: "I still have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on the way, prepare supplies. Next, do a good job in the defense of Chonghe County. I have made a contribution by defending Chonghe County. In the future If you serve as the governor of a place, you will have a chance."
Tian De's eyes became hot and excited when he heard this, and he said loudly: "The villain will definitely go all out to live up to General Zang's high expectations."
Zang Ba said: "Go and make arrangements."
Tian De quickly arranged for people to spread the news of Shen Hong's murder. On the other hand, Zang Ba stationed troops in the city and decisively began to spread the news after taking control of the city. News of the fall of Chonghe County spread quickly, and in a short time, it had reached Yecheng.
