Chapter 137: Give me three thousand surrendered soldiers, and I am willing to trick the city gates open for you, my lord!
Two days later, Guanglingcheng.
In late autumn, the breeze blew, bringing a bit of chill!
And what made the defending soldiers feel even colder was the atmosphere in the city!
Zhang Chao was in a coma from extreme anger, Zhang Hong was vomiting blood and seriously injured in bed, and the great general Zang Hong had been pierced by Zhao Yun's spear in the field and died on the spot!
Now there were only ten thousand remnants in the city, and the future was bleak!
Looking at the camp outside the city on the other side, it was a scene of peace!
In the main tent of the camp.
"My lord, Ziyi sent word that he has raided the grain transported from Ping'an and Gaoyou counties and is now heading toward Gaoyou County!"
Zhao Yun relayed the message from Taishi Ziyi, and Lin Yang nodded, revealing joy!
"Order Taishi Ziyi to say that Zhang Chao of Guanglingcheng has been defeated, and tell him to go and persuade Gaoyou and Ping'an counties to surrender!"
Now that Zhang Chao had been defeated, he had no strength left to fight!
The remaining two counties, upon hearing the news, should not defend the city to the death!
Facing Taishi Ci's forces, they had only one path: surrender!
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhao Yun responded, then ordered the soldiers beside him to send the message to Taishi Ziyi by fast horse!
"My lord, the army has finished resting, and the siege equipment is ready; we can attack Guanglingcheng tomorrow!"
Seeing Dian Wei, standing to the side, also reported the current situation of the army!
In the previous battle, because of Zhao Yun's Iron Pagodas!
Just two rounds of charging had scared Zhang Chao's thirty thousand troops into fleeing!
Because of this!
The casualties caused were not too many!
Except for the rear army that was deployed last, which had many injuries, Seeing Dian Wei's rebar army had very few injuries!
Zhang Chao's soldiers had long been scared out of their wits by the Iron Pagodas!
There was no counterattack at all!
"Hmm, good, starting tomorrow, the army will attack the city!"
Two days of rest had allowed the army to recover!
Plus the preparation of siege equipment, it was enough for the army to take action!
After all, Zhang Chao before him was now a defeated dog!
Ten thousand remnants with no morale wanting to hold this city was simply wishful thinking!
Just as Lin Yang was discussing the siege for tomorrow, in the prison of the camp on the other side.
"Time to eat!"
With a light shout, the next moment, a group of people carrying large vats walked over!
In the previous battle, the six thousand surrendered soldiers, hearing it was time to eat, all looked over eagerly!
In the Battle of Guangling, Lin Yang's side did not suffer serious losses!
The thirty thousand soldiers under Zhang Chao did not suffer many casualties either!
Except for the three thousand who died in the first round of the Iron Pagodas' charge, many people scattered during Zhao Yun's second charge!
The army's collapse was all because everyone feared the Iron Pagodas!
Swords could not penetrate, bows and arrows could not break them!
How were they supposed to fight!
Therefore, after the battle, there were many who surrendered and many who fled!
Many fled into the city, leaving only ten thousand remnants!
This group of people chose to surrender and were held here!
There were also some soldiers who fled into the mountains and wilderness around Guangling Commandery, their whereabouts unknown!
Compared to the others, these six thousand surrendered soldiers undoubtedly felt they were lucky!
"My god, it's white porridge and white flour buns again; the food in this army is too good!"
"Yes, we surrendered soldiers can actually eat this!"
"What is this; didn't you see that those soldiers eat meat at every meal!"
"I saw it, I'm really envious!"
"Damn Zhang Chao, what did he feed us!"
"......."
The group of surrendered soldiers looked at the white porridge and white flour buns in their hands and cursed!
When they were soldiers under Zhang Chao before!
The food they ate wasn't even as good as what they had as surrendered soldiers now!
How ironic was this!
"Zhang Gou'er, why are you here?"
Just then, Zhao Zicheng, who was responsible for distributing the food, looked at one person and exclaimed!
"Young Master, it's you!"
The surrendered soldier called Zhang Gou'er looked at Zhao Zicheng before him in a daze!
He hadn't expected!
To see the other party here!
"Young Master, didn't you die?"
"Fart, I'm living just fine!"
Hearing that he had died, Zhao Zicheng had black lines on his head!
Then he saw the surrendered soldier called Zhang Gou'er rush over excitedly, hugging Zhao Zicheng's leg with tears in his eyes!
"Young Master, it's great that you didn't die! That dog Zhang Chao told the Master that you were killed by Lin Yang; I thought I would never see you again!"
Hearing that Zhang Chao had said he was dead, Zhao Zicheng was full of anger!
This god-damned Zhang Chao!
Actually tricked his father like this!
"By the way, Zhang Gou, let me ask you, where is my father? How is he?"
The Zhang Gou'er before him was a guard from Zhao Zicheng's family! ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
