Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 67 Zhang Tao surrenders
For Dian Wei, if he had to choose the person he hated the most among Zhang Miao's personal soldiers, it would be Zhang Tao.

It's this bastard who repeatedly suppresses his achievements.

Not only did they not reward him for his merits, but they also took the lead in excluding and suppressing him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a hard time in Zhang Miao's personal army.

After all, he was a soldier recruited by Zhang Miao himself. Although he was not from a noble family and had no reputation, he was brave and strong. At least there would be no problem in promoting him to a captain of the military.

Unfortunately, in the past, among Zhang Miao's personal army, no matter how much they hated Zhang Tao, they could not do anything to him and had to be careful when accompanying him.

But now he has left Zhang Miao's personal army and become the deputy general of Ji Qiu's personal guard camp, leading troops to fight against Zhang Miao's personal army.

As for Zhang Tao, it was like enemies meeting, they were extremely jealous of each other!

At the same time Dian Wei saw Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao also saw Dian Wei.

He recognized Dian Wei's identity at a glance. After all, the nominal cause of this war was Dian Wei.

Then he watched Dian Wei kill the guards around him like cutting vegetables with a machete, and rush towards him at a rapid speed, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He never expected that this rough guy, whom he usually ignored, would be so brave on the battlefield.

Wasn't he just a street wanderer before? How come he is so powerful?

Didn’t his subordinates tell him that all his previous achievements were fabricated?
Could it be true?
Zhang Tao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that Dian Wei was so powerful, he would not have suppressed Dian Wei like this.

It might be a good idea to recruit him for your own use.

Thinking of this, he could not help but shout: "Dian Wei, you are my subordinate, why did you attack me?

If you surrender quickly, I will plead for you in front of the envoy and reward you handsomely!"

"Reward me? You don't deserve it! Bring me your head and claim the reward!"

Dian Wei had already rushed to five meters in front of Zhang Tao. Hearing Zhang Tao's panicked promise, he couldn't help but sneer.

Then he suddenly exerted force, and his legs were like a pair of steel pistons, instantly crossing a distance of five meters and appearing in front of Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao was shocked and quickly raised his knife to protect himself.

But his strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of Dian Wei.

The long spear in Dian Wei's hand was wrapped in a thousand pounds of force and chopped down heavily.

With a "crack", Zhang Tao's knife was broken into two pieces by the long spear.

The speed of the halberd did not slow down at all, and it continued to fly forward with the sound of wind and thunder.

Pfft!

The long spear split Zhang Tao's neck directly, chopping off his entire head.

Dian Wei grabbed Zhang Tao's hair and lifted his head high.

Blood continued to drip down his arm, splashing dark red blood flowers on the battlefield.

Dian Wei used up all his strength and shouted loudly: "Zhang Tao is dead. All Zhang Miao's personal soldiers, kneel down and surrender immediately, and you will be spared!"

His voice, as if carrying an irresistible majesty, penetrated the clamor of the battlefield and reached everyone's ears.

As Dian Wei shouted, the Xiliang cavalry behind him also shouted: "Zhang Tao is dead, Zhang Tao is dead..."

This uniform shout, like rolling thunder, echoed continuously on the battlefield.

There was a brief silence on the battlefield.

Then Zhang Miao's personal army formation, which was already on the verge of collapse, collapsed directly.

A small number of soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground in surrender, while the majority of soldiers shoved and shoved each other, scrambling to escape towards Chenliu City.

Although they were defeated, they still had Chenliu City behind them.

As long as we can escape into Chenliu City, there is still a way to survive.

This is what the vast majority of Zhang Miao's personal soldiers think!
On the west wall of Chenliu City.

Zhang Miao and his retainers were stunned as they watched the crushing defeat outside the city.

In fact, when Zhang Miao saw that Ji Qiu's troops were actually halberd-wielding soldiers, he knew that this battle would be difficult to fight.

Although he had 5,000 personal soldiers, all of whom were cavalry, they were not a strong army. Facing 1,500 halberd soldiers, he probably would not gain much advantage.

This battle is likely to last a long time and the result is likely to be a draw.

It is very likely that his strategic goal of destroying Ji Qiu's army will not be achieved.

But no one expected that the battle would end so quickly.

What he never expected was that the result was not a draw, and that he was unable to achieve the strategic goal of his younger sister Ji Qiu's army.

But it was a defeat, a great defeat, a miserable defeat!

Not only did he fail to destroy Ji Qiu's troops, but his own troops were almost wiped out!
He simply couldn't accept this result!

"My lord, quickly, quickly, order the city gates to be opened. Ji Qiu's cavalry are chasing our soldiers. We must quickly open the city gates to let them in, otherwise they will be killed by Ji Qiu!" A retainer was the first to react and quickly suggested.

Zhang Miao nodded blankly and said, "Ah, okay, okay, open the city..."

"Wait, the city gate cannot be opened, it must not be opened!" But another retainer suddenly jumped up to stop them.

Then he hurriedly said, "My lord, the Ji Qiu cavalry outside the city is chasing our army. If we open the city gate now, what will happen? What if the Ji Qiu cavalry rushes in as well?"

"That's right, we can't open the city gates. If Ji Qiu rushes into the city, I'll be dead!"

After this reminder, Zhang Miao suddenly reacted and quickly changed his previous order.

Seeing this, the retainer hurriedly advised, "My lord, there are no more soldiers in Chenliu City.

If we lock our personal troops outside the gate, then after they are all killed, we won't be able to defend Chenliu City, right?

It would be better to open the city gates and rescue as many as possible. With these rescued soldiers, we can defend Chenliu City!"

"This..." Zhang Miao looked a little hesitant, and felt that what the retainer said made some sense.

But another retainer said: "The soldiers outside the city have been defeated so badly that they have been crippled in a short period of time. Even if they are rescued, they will not be able to recover their fighting capacity.

Instead of counting on them to help defend the city, it would be better to notify the wealthy families in the city and borrow their private soldiers to help defend the city.

Moreover, as long as we don't give him the opportunity, Ji Qiu may not dare to really attack the city.

After all, he was the Taishan County Magistrate. Attacking Chenliu City without permission was a serious crime of treason!

As long as the lord reports this to the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Justice brings this up in the court, even the emperor will not be able to protect him!"

"Well, that makes sense, that makes sense!" Zhang Miao nodded in praise.

But he was suddenly stunned, as if he had thought of something, and then he thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Wait, you just said that if Ji Qiu attacked Chenliu City, it would be a crime of treason?

Will this cause the imperial court to confiscate his property and exterminate his entire family?
Haha, even if he didn't attack Chenliu City, he would still be guilty of treason!

The imperial court will still confiscate his property and exterminate his entire family!"
