Chapter 622: Civil War for the Capture of the City

Guo Song led the cavalry into Taiyuan City, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded in the city like a landslide, frightening the people in the city to close their doors and hide.

On the street, the soldiers of the 8,000 Hedong Army are rushing head-on, Guo Song roared, led the cavalry to kill, the arrows came like raindrops, Guo Song waved the arrows that shot in front of him, and the cavalry behind raised their shields to resist the arrows, and the cavalry continued to fall off the horse with arrows.

In the blink of an eye, Guo Song took the lead in killing in front of the enemy's eyes, the halberd swept, dozens of spears were broken, flesh and blood flew, Guo Song used all his strength, the more he fought, the more brave he became, the dead bodies piled up all around, the blood flowed into the river, the cavalry of the Hexi Army also killed into the enemy group, like cutting wheat, where the cavalry passed, a large area of Hedong Army soldiers fell, ruthlessly killed, invincible.

The 20,000 veterans of the most elite Hedong army have followed Yuanlu north to pursue the enemy, and the troops left behind in Taiyuan are all recruits recruited last year, with poor equipment and low salary, and they generally have a chaotic mentality, and their morale is very low.

The soldiers of the Hedong Army on the street fled into the streets and alleys as fast as they could, like a gust of wind blowing, and the front was crowded with enemy soldiers just now, and in the blink of an eye, the street became empty.

Guo Song immediately ordered: "Clear the city according to the established plan!" ”

The 25,000 cavalry were divided into two teams, and the 15,000 soldiers dismounted one after another, forming 150 squads, and rushed to various streets and alleys to clear out the fleeing Hedong Army soldiers.

And Guo Song personally led 10,000 cavalry to attack Jinyang Palace.

Jinyang covers an area of 500 acres, located in the north of Taiyuan City, the Beiqing Gate of the northeast city wall and the Xuanwu Gate of Jinyang Palace are only a few hundred steps apart, and there are tall palace walls on both sides, that is to say, Jinyang Palace can be evacuated directly from the North City.

The sky was numb and bright, Yuan Xuanhu was tired and standing on the steps of the Xuanwu Square in Jinyang Palace, the shouting and killing sound in the distance was clearly audible, he never dreamed that it was the Hexi army that was killed, how could this be possible?

Although he couldn't believe it, the facts were clearly in front of him, his old enemy Guo Song had entered the city, and their Yuan family would face annihilation.

At the foot of the steps stood more than a hundred Yuan family members, except for more than a dozen Yuan family members who were strong in martial arts and followed Yuan Lu to the north, the other Yuan family members were concentrated here.

"The calamity of our Yuan family has come, and it is up to you whether it can continue or not."

Yuan Xuanhu endured the grief in his heart, took out a booklet and handed it to the third son, Yuan Chu, "This is the list of the wealth of the Yuan family distributed all over the world, after you are safe, distribute the wealth to everyone, let everyone live incognito, and ensure the continuation of the descendants of the Yuan family." ”

Everyone knelt down and shouted in mournful voices: "Master of the house, you can go with us!" ”

Yuan Xuanhu smiled miserably, "I'm seventy years old, how long can I live, I just want to face Guo Song and see what this big enemy looks like, you guys go quickly!" I defend the honor of the Yuan family together with Da Lang. ”

At this time, the shouting of killing was near, and Yuan Xuanhu glared at Yuan Chu angrily and said, "You still don't take them away?" Do you want my Yuan family to be wiped out? ”

Yuan Chu kowtowed three times, got up and shouted, "Follow me!" ”

He took more than 100 Yuan children, escorted by hundreds of soldiers, to Xuanwu Gate, each Yuan family child carried a large package, which was filled with gold and jade, which was given to them to escape, the Hexi army did not kill women and children, and their wives and children would be with them in the future.

The Xuanwu Gate opens, in front of which is a passage hundreds of steps long, flanked by high walls, and at the end of the front is the Beiqing Gate.

Seeing that the children of the Yuan clan got on their horses one after another and ran out of the Xuanwu Gate, Yuan Xuanhu took out a bright red bottle from his arms, held it tightly in his hand, and hobbled towards the palace.

.........

10,000 soldiers of the Hexi Army stood in the open square in front of the Jinyang Palace, the sky was light, and the outer city of the Jinyang Palace was also densely packed with soldiers, a total of 3,000 soldiers, all of whom were soldiers of the Yuan family, loyal to the Yuan family, very well-equipped, and very strong in combat ability, under the command of the Yuan and Jin Dynasty.

Three thousand soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, were ready to shoot without hesitation as soon as the Hexi army came within range of them.

Yuan Jin also knew that they couldn't hold Jinyang Palace, and Jinyang Palace would fall sooner or later, but he had to buy time for the evacuated Yuan clan's children, and as the heir to the head of the family, he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Guo Song stared coldly at Jinyang Palace, and with a wave of his sword, he said, "Ready to launch!" ”

Several soldiers pushed a small whirlwind cannon to slowly step forward, it could shoot thirty catties of iron fire thunder seventy steps away, plus inertia, the iron fire thunder could stop a hundred steps away, dozens of soldiers held large shields to protect the whirlwind cannon.

Miyagi immediately fired a flurry of arrows, and a dense array of arrows shot at the whirlwind cannon, Yuan Jin knew very well that the other party must have used a boulder to project the door, but he never imagined that this would be a very powerful weapon.

The shield withstood the arrows, and a soldier lit the arquebus, 'Bang! With a bang, the iron fire thunder shot out obliquely, and all the soldiers of the Hexi Army covered their ears.

Iron Fire Thunder drew a parabola in the air, flew out more than seventy steps, hit the ground heavily, and continued to roll forward, countless pairs of eyes stared at this oval iron bump, and finally hit the city gate, making a dull sound, and Iron Fire Thunder stopped.

At this moment, the iron fire and thunder exploded violently, making an earth-shattering explosion sound, and the impact wave overturned the defenders at the head of the city, and countless soldiers covering their ears in pain and squatting on the head of the city.

But to Guo Song's surprise, the wooden palace gate wrapped in iron sheet was a little deformed, it was not blown open, and the gate was not shattered, the problem was that after the iron fire and thunder hit the door, it rebounded back about two feet, and did not hold the palace gate tightly.

Guo Song was annoyed in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Heavy armored infantry, go to the fire and thunder, and ride to cover!" ”

Three thousand cavalry suddenly launched, they rode along the palace wall galloping, arrows rained down to the city, the soldiers on the city head were shocked by the explosion just now, until now they have not come to their senses, for a while, they fought back ineffectively, was completely suppressed by the enemy's cavalry, under the cover of the cavalry, four heavy infantry carried a large iron fire thunder weighing more than two hundred pounds to the palace gate, two soldiers raised shields to protect the front and back.

Yuan Jin saw four heavily armored infantry from the gap in the city, and when he thought of the shock just now, he became more and more frightened in his heart, and shouted: "Don't let them approach, shoot those infantry!" ”

Hundreds of arrows still shot at the ten hoplites, but they could not penetrate their armor, and the ten hoplites rushed closer and closer, and finally arrived in front of the palace gate.

Only then did Yuan Jin come to his senses and shouted: "Hurry up and use rolling wood and stones!" ”

Where is there any rolling wood and stone here, only a pile of more than 100 large stones moved from the imperial garden, which is used to resist the palace gate and prevent the enemy army from hitting the wood to break the palace gate.

Dozens of soldiers rushed down to the city to carry the big stones, but it was too late, more than 200 pounds of large iron fire thunder against the gate, a soldier shook the fire fold, lit the fire rope.

Ten heavily armored soldiers turned around and ran wildly together, and the cavalry also left the city wall one after another, and learned the first explosion, and many soldiers on the city head were so apprehensive that they covered their ears and squatted down.

"Boom!"

The two hundred and thirty pounds of large iron fire thunder exploded, the power was a hundred times that of the small iron fire thunder, the whole earth was trembling, every corner of Taiyuan City was clearly audible, the city wall was shaking violently, and began to collapse because it could not stand it, and the war horse was so frightened that it screamed and retreated.

When the smoke cleared, I saw that the palace gate had completely disappeared, the palace inside was clearly visible, the palace walls on both sides also collapsed dozens of zhang, and hundreds of soldiers closest to the palace gate were all shocked to death, and even the main general Yuan Jin was buried by the collapsed palace wall.

Guo Song waved his sword and shouted, "Kill!" ”

Thousands of cavalry roared at the same time: "Kill—"

The cavalry launched, like a flash flood erupted into the Jinyang Palace, the soldiers in the palace retreated while resisting, and finally could not outrun the horses of the Hexi cavalry, nearly two thousand soldiers were surrounded by regiments, they all fought to the death and did not surrender, and there was no suspense about the outcome they faced......

More than 100 children of the Yuan clan escaped from Beiqing Gate and fled to the east in panic, but they escaped less than three miles, and the sound of horses' hooves was loud behind, and thousands of Hexi cavalry caught up.

The guard general shouted, and hundreds of Yuan family soldiers rushed up to block the pursuing enemy army and cover the escape of the Yuan family's children, but their number was still too small, and they were surrounded by two thousand cavalry in an instant.

Another 1,000 cavalry continued to chase more than 100 Yuan children, the cavalry received the order to kill without forgiveness, in the running arrows in unison, the Yuan children were wearing brocade clothes, did not wear armor, where to escape the arrow shooting, they all screamed and fell off the horse, only a moment, more than 100 Yuan children were shot by random arrows, none of them escaped.

Guo Song knows very well the truth that the grass must be eradicated, and if he keeps them and does not kill them, it will become a disaster sooner or later.

On the Ziwei Hall of Jinyang Palace, Yuan Xuanhu wore a crown of cupola and the emperor's yellow robe, sitting high on the emperor's couch, which was the first time he wore a yellow robe, and it was also the last moment of his life.

Guo Song approached him step by step with a sword, Yuan Xuanhu looked at him for a moment, and asked calmly, "You are Guo Song?" ”

"Yes!"

Yuan Xuanhu nodded, "I've heard it for a long time!" ”

"Each other, each other!"

Yuan Xuanhu recognized that the sword in Guo Song's hand turned out to be the Zhan Lu Sword, the heirloom of the Yuan family, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, would he die under this sword?

"The old man is seventy-two years old, it's not a pity to die, can you leave a baby in the Yuan family?"

Guo Song asked coldly: "If my wife and children fall into your hands, will you spare them?" ”

"Nope! They are bound to die a miserable death. ”

"I'm not as vicious as you, I don't kill the women of the Yuan family, including your granddaughter, I will leave them a way to live."

"Thank you!"

Yuan Xuanhu uncorked the bottle and drank a bottle of Heding Red........
