At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Instead, when the excavation reaches a certain depth and width, all the wooden stakes will be burned in one go, so that the unsupported city wall will collapse directly, and the soldiers outside the city will be able to rush into the city to launch an attack.

This method is secretive, the possibility of loss is small, but the disadvantages are also great. The main tool to restrain this method is the listening urn that appeared in the Warring States Period.

When Yuan Shao attacked Yijing, which Gongsun Zan had built with all his might, he used this method to destroy the Yijing city wall, which Gongsun Zan regarded as impregnable, which directly contributed to Gongsun Zan's downfall.

During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao repeated his old tricks to deal with Cao Cao.

As a result, Cao Cao was already prepared, and learned Yuan Shao's intentions with a listening urn, so he led the Guandu water to the tunnel entrance and poured it in, so the engineering corps that made great achievements for Yuan Shao was destroyed by Cao Cao's regiment.

Taking the same method against different enemies has resulted in different results, which is enough to prove that any strategy is meaningful, it just depends on who is dealing with it.

A veteran of the battlefield like Cao Cao would naturally be on guard against Yuan Shao's use of such a method.

It is estimated that Yuan Shao himself liked to brag, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a good relationship at that time. Maybe Yuan Shao boasted to Cao Cao about his military exploits, but Cao Cao kept it in his heart and smothered Yuan Shao.

Zhang Jiao did not have sufficient battlefield experience. Facing a battlefield veteran like Lu Zhi, the prototype was revealed as soon as he fought, which shows that this person is not a general at all.

Maybe there is no time to accumulate experience, no time to grow, so it may be feasible to deal with Zhang Jiao in this way.

For Lu Zhi, such a method must be tried, otherwise it will only be suppressed by the rain of arrows, and the Spirit Emperor will probably keep urging it, right?

Lu Zhi also didn't want to gamble his fate on Zhang Jiao's stockpile, which was completely out of his control, so he also actively sought other solutions. Tunnel warfare was one of them.

In order to cooperate with the tunnel warfare, the siege battle during the day was completely non-stop. The Han army kept beating drums and shouting and shooting, which brought great psychological deterrence to the Yellow Turbans in the city and restrained their attention.

During this period, the Yellow Turbans in the city finally made a move. They opened the city gate and went out of the city to counterattack, destroying the mounds and arrow towers of the Han army.

Lu Zhi was prepared, and immediately sent troops to fight against it. Guo Peng led the Changshui cavalry team to the battlefield again, defeated the Yellow Turbans three times in a row and went out of the city to fight back, beheading more than [-] Yellow Turbans.

After making continuous achievements, Lu Zhi increased the number of Guo Peng's troops, and let Guo Peng lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry and bowmen on more than a dozen arrow towers to attack the south gate of Guangzong County. Let Guo Peng undertake the main task of attacking a city gate.

After receiving the order, Guo Peng carefully responded to the counterattack of the Yellow Turbans, and there were always people around him who were protected by shields.

Whenever the Yellow Turbans planned to counterattack, Guo Peng rarely went into battle in person, but sent Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to lead the counterattack, commanded from the rear, and took care of the tunnel excavation work.

Since the tunnel was excavated, the Yellow Turbans did not seem to be damaged. The targets of the attack from the city were the mounds and arrow towers, not the tunnel, which made Guo Peng a little relieved.

If the Yellow Turbans could not find out that the Han army was digging tunnels, Zhang Jiao would surely be defeated within a month, unless Zhang Jiao could perform a miracle.

Zhang Jiao is not a general, and he did not create miracles.

He didn't find that the Han army was digging tunnels to destroy Guangzong County, and he was single-mindedly fighting a defensive counterattack to fight against the Han army.

On June 27, the Chengnan tunnel supervised by Guo Peng was completed first.

On June 28, Lu Zhi ordered to set fire to the wooden piles. With the expected noise, the city wall of Guangzong County, which was not considered tall and strong, collapsed.

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds today! Lords! Kill!!!"

Guo Peng took the lead and did not ride horses, and the soldiers around him did not ride horses. All of them walked on foot, armed with infantry weapons, and rushed to the collapsed city wall with Guo Peng.

The Yellow Turbans fought desperately, and the Han army charged desperately.

Guo Peng took the lead, the first to lead the army to the city wall, the first to break through the passage and rush into the city wall, killing the blocking troops of the Yellow Turban Army, and opening the passage for the subsequent main force.

With the commander of Lu Zhi behind him, he waved his sword, and the sound of the war drums suddenly and hurriedly struck, and the Han army launched a general attack.

Guo Peng led the [-] soldiers under his command to charge forward all the way, rushing forward like crazy, no one in front of him could resist their charge.

Some of the Yellow Turbans fled wildly, and some also went up to fight against the Han army, but both weapons and combat skills were better than the Han army.

In addition, Lu Zhi promised generous rewards, so instead the officers rushed forward and the soldiers followed.

Everyone's eyes are red to get this hard-won wealth, and their hearts are full of wealth and honor, and they don't care about their own lives at all.

Guo Peng was not supposed to be like this, but in such a situation and in such a big environment, he was more vicious than other officers, rushed faster, and was even more desperate.

He slashed and slashed the enemy with a knife, and he kept cutting until his own ring-head knife was broken. He took the ring-head knife in the hands of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the opposite side and turned it into his own weapon and then slashed.

The personal soldiers protected Guo Peng and marched with him. The dead bodies piled up into mountains and rivers of blood, and everyone seemed to be washed with blood, and the suffocation was soaring to the sky.

People can really give up their lives for the sake of wealth.

A large number of Han troops poured into Guangzong City, and there was chaos in Guangzong City. In addition to the Yellow Turbans armed with weapons, women, children, young and old, all family members of the Yellow Turbans could be seen.

The soldiers of the Han army did not show any mercy to him, they slashed and slashed the same way, and the entire Guangzong city was filled with voices like ghosts and wolves.

Chapter 81 General Tiangong, you, Huang Tian, ​​are dead too!

After the city was broken, Zhang Jiao was trapped in the city and could not move. The elites of the Yellow Turbans who guarded Zhang Jiao had to protect Zhang Jiao and go out, go down to Quyang to meet Zhang Bao, and Xu Tu raised him behind.

Zhang Jiao shook his head, coughed violently for a while, and took a deep breath.

"This is the end of the matter, where is there anything to do? Even if I escape, what can I do? And I'm afraid that my illness will not get better, you each protect your family, run for your life, the Han army will not let you go, You must remain anonymous, not to mention what happened at this time, so that you can keep safe for the rest of your life.”

Zhang Jiao persuaded the guards around him to flee for their lives.

There is really no hope. Together with Zhang Bao, we can't fight even a single defeat. Once we fight, our hearts will dissipate.

At this point, resistance is futile.

The Han army's offensive was extremely violent, and it was like a crazy attack. The Yellow Turbans retreated steadily, and even the most elite Yellow Turban elites could not resist the Han army's attack.

Zhang Jiao suddenly felt that he was very funny.

Obviously, being a pope and spreading religion can make him rich and noble, and even participate in politics, but he could not stand the temptation of ambition and the persuasion of others, and he actually used the banner of resistance.

Making people a gun envoy also gave the Han court a reason to exterminate the Taiping Road in an upright and bright way.

The life of more than ten years is like a dream, and in a trance, he even feels as if everything happened yesterday.

The initial apprehension of preaching, the increasing joy of the congregation, the expansion of ambition, the indomitable progress in the early days of the war, and the imminent defeat now.

Life is like a dream, in the end, who is not a hand of loess, and it becomes a discussion point for future generations?

Zhang Jiao was suddenly a little interested. He wanted to know if his name would be remembered thousands of years later, and what kind of status he was known to by future generations.

It would be better if it wasn't so bad reputation.

Everyone is dying, of course, I am a little worried about the name behind my own who made such a big thing.

But thinking about it, I know that I have fought against the Han court, and I have failed. How can people who write history books give themselves a good reputation?

At best, give a "thief".

But ah, the emperor, if there is no problem in your country, if everyone is fed and clothed, and everyone lives and works in peace and stability, how can so many people follow me, and how can so many people support my rebellion , how can I go down this road today?

It is not me that decides whether I will rebel or not, but you!

The culprit of this turmoil was not Zhang Jue, but the emperor of the Han court, and those nobles who knocked on their bones and sucked marrow!

The elites of the Yellow Turbans are reluctant to abandon Zhang Jiao. They still have a pious heart of faith and dependence on Zhang Jiao.

A few people went up together, and they were about to rush out while carrying Zhang Jiao, but the Han army had already killed them in front of him.

"Changshui Sima Guopeng is here! The traitor Zhang Jiao has quickly surrendered! Otherwise, he will be killed!"

The one who led the soldiers to kill happened to be Guo Peng. Guo Peng was thinking of meritorious service. He rushed into the city and grabbed a few tongues to lead the way, killing him all the way here.

He did not go all the way with the other Han troops. He copied the nearest road and directly killed Zhang Jiao's lair, blocking Zhang Jiao here.

The living Zhang Jiao can bring him more benefits than the dead Zhang Jiao, so if Zhang Jiao surrenders in despair, it would be better.

Zhang Jiao smiled mockingly when he heard this.

"Can I avoid death by surrendering? Han court's eagle dogs, I can't believe a word, gentlemen, absolutely don't put down your weapons and surrender, get out of the encirclement and run for your life!"

Zhang Jiao asked the elites of the Yellow Turbans to put him down and escaped from the siege by himself, but the elites of the Yellow Turbans were still reluctant to give up on Zhang Jiao and wanted to protect Zhang Jiao and go out together.

So the elites of the Yellow Turbans and the Han army launched the final desperate struggle. In the not open space, the Han army and the elites of the Yellow Turbans slaughtered into a group, and the battle was extremely tragic.

There were many Han soldiers and few elites in the Yellow Turbans. They gradually lost their strength and were forced to return to their old nest to try to defend.

Xiahou Dun was the most brave. A fierce man rushed forward and stabbed to death a Yellow Turban elite with a big gun. He took his body and crashed into the door that was about to be closed. Can't be turned off.

Then several soldiers stepped forward and pushed in fiercely, pushing the door open in one fell swoop. Guo Peng slashed to death a yellow turban elite with a knife, and took the lead in rushing in.

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan closely followed Guo Peng, rushing all the way, fighting desperately with the Yellow Turban elites, dozens of personal soldiers immediately followed, opening a bloody path for Guo Peng, protecting Guo Peng and chasing inside, not a big deal. In the courtyard, the Han army and the Yellow Turban army captured and killed the pair, and the scene was very tragic.

The Yellow Turban elites' final breakout operation failed. They could only protect Zhang Jiao and returned to the house where they were staying. A group of the most trusted guards looked at Zhang Jiao with red eyes, leaving tears in their eyes.

"Why are you crying? You are all poor people's children, you can't eat, you follow me to have a meal, but now I can't feed you, you have to make a living on your own, go, kill a bloody way out, or Hide, hide in a safe place, wait for the Han army to withdraw, and then come out.

The goal of the Han army is me. They want my life, not yours. You just need to escape from here and find a manor to take refuge in. After all, you can still eat. Just waiting to die here. "

Zhang Jiao coughed violently, almost out of breath.

None of the elites of the Yellow Turbans were willing to leave, all of them had to fight to the end for Zhang Jiao, so they all pulled out their knives and rushed outside the door to become Zhang Jiao's last barrier.

Guo Peng led the army to attack and kill them in front of them, and launched a final hand-to-hand battle with them.

Even if they were stabbed in the stomach, they bit on the neck of the Han army soldier, biting his neck to pieces, and some directly stabbed the eyes of the Han army soldier with their hands. The army did not dare to approach.

"Fire arrows!"

The guards beside Guo Peng all had hand crossbows on them. Guo Peng gave an order, and dozens of arrows were fired. The last eight people guarding here were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground one after another.

And the last yellow turban elite who still had a breath was hit by five arrows, stunned and climbed to the front of the room, sat paralyzed in front of the room, opened his hands, stared at the Han army, his face flushed red, and his whole body trembled.

Do you want to protect Zhang Jiao in the end?

The charisma and the mouth of the magic stick can't be underestimated. That mouth can let him get most of the things he wants, as long as he is not too greedy, such as wanting to be an emperor or something.

Guo Peng stepped forward with a blank expression, looked at him, and without hesitation, stabbed him in the chest and stabbed him directly to the ground.

The door opened, Zhang Jiao, who was described as withered, sat cross-legged not far from the gate. Seeing the death of the last Yellow Turban elite, he closed his eyes in pain, and two tears slid down his cheeks.

Only at this last moment will Zhang Jiao cry for these people.

"Are you Zhang Jiao?"

Guo Peng asked.

"I am Zhang Jiao, General Tiangong Zhang Jiao! Dog thief! Sign up!"

Looking up at Guo Peng, Zhang Jiao blushed and glared angrily. The veins on the back of his hands burst out, as if he was about to attack in the next second.

Guo Peng sneered.

"Dog thief? You are the dog thief! The rebellious dog thief! The dog thief who everyone gets and kills!"

Guo Peng stabbed the knife on Zhang Jiao's neck, and Zhang Jiao continued to look at Guo Peng without fear.

"The Han court is tyrannical and ruthless, and the people of the world have been suffering for a long time! Heaven's destiny says that the sky is dead, and Huang Tian stands! I follow the destiny's order to raise troops to fight the tyrannical Han court, how can I be a thief?!"

"Damn destiny! Shaking lips and tongues! Even if the sky is dead, it will not be your turn to stand up! Come on! Tie me up! Block up your mouth!"

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren rushed forward immediately and tied Zhang Jiao with five flowers with excitement on their faces. Xiahou Dun held a rag and shoved it into Zhang Jiao's mouth. Then the three of them directly carried Zhang Jiao and followed Guo Peng out of the room. .

Facing the soldiers under his command in the courtyard, Guo Peng directly raised his sword to the sky.

"Zhang Jiao! Captured alive! We won!!!"

Then the huge cheers sounded, and the sound was earth-shattering, spreading from the yard to the outside of the yard.

Guo Peng looked at Zhang Jiao with a sad face, full of ecstasy and a mocking smile on his face.

"General Tiangong, you, Huang Tian, ​​are also dead!"

Chapter 82 This is the world

Lu Zhi led his army to invade Guangzong, and he was commanding the Han army to fight against a large group of Yellow Turbans.

The sound came from far to near, layer by layer, and fell into Lu Zhi's ears, the words "We won".

win? !

That direction is...

Has someone logged in first?

Is Zhang Jiao finished? !

Lu Zhi was excited for a while, and immediately raised his knife and shouted.

"Zhang Jiao is dead! Those who descend will not be killed!!"
