Half a month passed like a white horse, quietly passing by. ()

Yizhou, within Anhan.

A sudden sneak attack has just ended.

From the beginning to the end, the battle ended less than half an hour.

Nowadays, the war was still noisy and the captured city was still very noisy; war horses neighed, horse hooves rumbling, and painful moans filled the middle, and there were still intermittent shouts of killing and the shrill screams of those who were dying.

After the war smoke dissipated, there were broken ruins everywhere, and the streets and alleys in the city were full of chaos. The extremely rich blood filled the whole city, and the murderous aura gathered over the city and did not disperse for a long time.

This was a lightning-fast sneak attack and siege. At the beginning of the battle, he captured the city gate in one fell swoop, and then thousands of Western Liang cavalry rushed into the city and took the city guard. Then, before the subordinates under Anhan City packed up their feet and tried to escape from the city, they intercepted them all, so that all the soldiers and people in the city were blocked in the city and no one escaped.

An Han City, which was suddenly ravaged by war, finally quieted down. There were teams of Xuan Armored Cavalry guarding the city at the top, alleys and broken city walls, surrounding the entire city without leaving any blind spots, and even a mouse could not escape.

Soon, a thunderous roar came from the north of the city, and then the earth shook. The trees, flowers and plants on the roadside were automatically without wind. The roar came from far to near, gradually approaching the city, revealing its true appearance.

"Dada----Room!"

As the distance continued to shorten, the rumbling sound became louder and louder. The scene presented in sight was also cleaner and cleaner. But when the crisp and spotted horse hooves filled my ears, there was a "buzzing" roar, which was deafening. When the people living in this city for generations heard such a huge sound, they couldn't help but be frightened, shivered, and held their breath and kept silent, and did not dare to breathe.

In fact, the people are hiding at home at this moment, all closing their doors, and even the cracks in the windows and doors are blocked; even so, they still cannot block the rumbling sound of horses stepping like thunder, and the "rattle" sound of iron armor mixed with the sound of horse hooves.

After a while, the rumbling sound gradually subsided. But the sound of horse hooves became clearer and louder. In the city gates and streets that had just been cleared, teams of iron armored warriors entered the city neatly and orderly, four people and a thousand people. The warriors continued to enter the city, extending from the city gate to the front of the city guard gate.

On this bluestone street that lasted for miles, looking around, all the sights were shining with cold warriors, flags floating in the wind, and those sturdy cavalry teams, with tens of thousands of people. Therefore, the time required for the cavalry to enter the city alone was longer than the time it took to capture the city, and it took more than an hour. After the cavalry, tens of thousands of infantry entered the city, followed by extremely heavy siege vehicles and other heavy weapons.

After all the soldiers entered the city, the sky, which was originally scorching sun, gradually dimmed and night fell quietly.

Anhan City guards the mansion. After dark, the lights inside and outside the mansion were brightly lit, and powerful soldiers carrying armor could be seen everywhere, with at least 50,000 soldiers and horses.

On the school ground in front of the mansion, more than 300 large cauldrons were set up on the flat ground, and the slaughtered and washed cattle and sheep were thrown into the cauldron, causing the whole city to scatter the mouth-watering aroma of meat. At this point, the aroma of meat replaced the lingering blood, causing many people in the city who could not eat meat for many years to swallow their saliva and quickly forget the bloody killing at noon. Then, they smelled the fragrance filled with noses and fell asleep, and got their wish in their dreams and feasted.

In the main hall, a banquet was being held at this time, and all the senior generals of the Eastern Army gathered together, drinking happily.

This was the first hot meal after they led their troops into the Micang Road twenty-three days ago. It was also the first time they sat on the Yizhou area to eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl, which was very symbolic.

Before this, they led the army to march day and night, and spent days sleeping in the open air. They lived on cliffs, ate pickled vegetables and dried food, and drank deep spring water. The soldiers of the entire army, including the commander Zhou Yu and the general Li Xian, were treated like this, sharing the joys and sorrows, without exception. All of this was because the army needed to hide their whereabouts, and could not be discovered by the Yizhou army, and the location of the army could not be exposed. Therefore, fire could not be made during the march. If it could not be made, it would naturally not be able to eat hot food. They could only drink cold water and eat dry food to fill their hunger. They had to hold on for nearly twenty days.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

After about ten days of long journey, 60,000 troops from the Eastern Army finally crossed Daba Mountain and Micang Mountain without any danger, walked out of Micang Road, and officially entered Ba County, Yizhou. This means that they safely passed through the Micang Plank Road and spent the most difficult and dangerous journey, laying a solid foundation for the next capture of Ba County. It can be said that they have taken the crucial first step and a key step to success.

After entering Ba County, the whereabouts of the Eastern Army were still not exposed. So Zhou Yu and Li Xian discussed and decided to adopt a marching method of hiding day and night, and use the advantages of the mountains and forests in Ba County to hide their whereabouts. If the cities you encounter along the way can pass by, avoid head-on confrontation and go by; if you cannot dodge, you can use the method of sneak attacking the city at night to attack the city quietly, and then speed up the marching speed, and seize a city with lightning speed before the whereabouts are exposed.

This cycle was repeated, and the army marched hundreds of miles in ten days, and continued to attack cities and villages along the way until the Anhan City was captured. The army stopped to rest. After all, the long journey of more than 20 days had exhausted the soldiers' physical strength, and the entire army was exhausted and unable to fight again. Taking a step back, even if the soldiers could hold on for a few days, they could even rush to the city of Jiangzhou, the capital of Ba County, in one go, but people could grit their teeth and persevere, but the war horses could not hold on. After all, they were not as strong as humans.

Because of this, Zhou Yu and Li Xian discussed and decided to rest in Anhan City for three days, and then marched their troops westward to take Jiangzhou.

For the Eastern Route Army, whether it can quickly capture Anhan City is crucial, because Anhan is not only a dangerous fortress in the north of Ba County, but also a gateway to Jiangzhou. As long as you capture Anhan City, it is equivalent to opening the northern gate of Jiangzhou, and you can reach the city of Jiangzhou without much time. Once Jiangzhou is captured, you can quickly recover the entire territory of Ba County, which means that the Eastern Route Army has a foothold in Yizhou, and then gradually erode it with this basis. It can attack Chengdu City in a year and a half and capture Yizhou.

After the banquet, the generals in the hall dispersed one after another, and only a few remained in the hall to discuss the next battle.

Zhou Yu, who was originally sitting high in the upper ranks, was sitting in the hall, facing Li Xian, and four others were sitting under the head of him, Lu Meng, Hu Cheer, Zhang Fei and Zhang Wei. It is worth mentioning that since Zhang Fei was beaten by Zhou Yu, Li Xian often brought Zhang Fei by his side, becoming his personal captain; and the general who led his army to attack An Hancheng was Zhang Fei.

But Zhang Fei got into trouble again this time.

Although he led his army to capture Ansen City as fast as lightning, and his casualties were small, he was too cruel and killed too much. During his leadership of his army to capture Ansen City, Ansen City, which originally had a population of 50,000, was finally left with less than 20,000 people. This means that most of the people and defenders in the city were almost slaughtered by him.

According to post-war statistics, within just half an hour, Zhang Fei led 5,000 cavalry and 300 personal soldiers under his tent, and killed more than 30,000 people, which killed blood and blood flowed into a river and corpses piled up into mountains.

It is said that Zhang Fei led the way and rushed into the city gate first, and then led a large army to rush to the city guard office. After capturing the city guard office, Zhang Fei blatantly ordered the massacre of the city, regardless of gender, age, and death. Thanks to Li Xian's timely arrival, he immediately stopped it. Even so, more than half of the people in the city were still brutally massacred, and only the people who hid at home and dared not show their heads were spared.

It must be mentioned that none of the defenders of Anhan City survived and were killed; all the gentry and all the officials and their families in the city were killed, including women, children, young and old.

Afterwards, Li Xian ordered people to quickly clean up the corpses in the city, and must clean up the corpses in the city before Zhou Yu led his army to prevent Zhou Yu from seeing the hell-like Anhan City, and in anger, he wanted to ask and kill Zhang Fei again.

Even though Li Xian had made timely remedies, the massacre of the city could not be concealed at all and was exposed in the end. At the banquet that had just ended, someone still asked Zhang Fei in public why he ordered the massacre. As soon as this statement was made, it caused an uproar, and the generals accused Zhang Fei one after another. Zhang Fei was very disdainful in the face of everyone's criticism and did not think he was wrong. He claimed that the reason he did this was to prevent someone from escaping from the city and revealing the whereabouts of the army.

Unfortunately, Zhang Fei's explanation is untenable and lacks persuasiveness. After all, the 60,000 army has entered Ba County for many days. Even if so many people can temporarily hide their whereabouts, they will never be able to last long and cannot escape the enemy's scouts and eyes and ears. Therefore, the whereabouts of the Eastern Route Army have long been exposed.

Therefore, all the generals understood that Zhang Fei, who was born as a butcher, was violent and bloodthirsty and cruel. In addition, he had been under house arrest for a long time and was extremely suppressed, which made him even more violent. This time, he finally led the army to fight, so he naturally became fierce and wanted to kill, which led to the tragedy of the city massacre.

The discussion after the banquet is actually to deal with Zhang Fei.

Originally, Li Xian was worried that Zhou Yu would definitely be beheaded by Zhang Fei when he was furious. However, Zhou Yu did not investigate it deeply, but said lightly: "The incident of Zhang Fei's order to massacre the city is the first case in our Xiliang army. The chief clerk of the army recorded the matter on the case and then submitted it to the lord, asking the lord to make a decision. Before the lord's military order arrives, there is no need to discuss this matter again."
