Chapter 1120: Three Prefectures Return to Jin
Three thousand soldiers rushed in the night, and instead of taking the main street, they ran along an alley under the eastern city wall, where the barracks and official offices were in the western city, and commerce was concentrated in the middle, and the eastern side was residential areas, and the sentry soldiers generally did not come to the east.
Occasionally, someone would open the window to peek, and quickly close the window, and after a while, three thousand people rushed to the south city wall, Wei Rulin waved his hand, and the captains each led their troops to act separately.
Wei Rulin personally led nearly 2,000 soldiers to the east of the city road, he waited for a while, estimated that the other teams were in place, and then led the army to set off.
The Jin army was divided into two routes, one team of 400 men was responsible for destroying the enemy army at the city gate, and the other team of 1,500 people led by Wei Rulin rushed to Yongdao.
The city was very quiet, there were three hundred soldiers in the tower, and today was the first night, and the soldiers did not dare to sleep, so they patrolled back and forth near the tower, and two patrols of fifty men each patrolled along the city wall.
A large iron bell was hung under the east wall of the tower, guarded by two soldiers, and the hub of the drawbridge and the city gate was on the west side of the tower.
As soon as they entered the city, they were immediately discovered, and a soldier asked in a loud voice: "Password!" ”
Wei Rulin said to Captain Yi Feng: "Attack!" ”
Yi Feng led a hundred lightning soldiers to attack, they raised their crossbows and fired, the two soldiers guarding the alarm bell were caught off guard, and were shot down by random arrows, and the sudden change surprised the soldiers defending the city, and shouted one after another: "There are enemy troops!" ”
At this time, a hundred lightning soldiers really rushed forward like lightning, controlling the alarm bell, and Wei Rulin shouted: "Kill!" ”
Fourteen hundred soldiers were killed, and the captain of the garrison shouted: "Ring the alarm bell!" Ring the alarm! ”
The idea was right, but it couldn't be realized, and a dozen soldiers rushed to the alarm bell, but they couldn't get closer, but were surrounded by lightning soldiers, and they were all killed in a moment.
There was a shadow of swords and swords on the head of the city, and only the sound of weapons and screams was faintly heard, and hundreds of soldiers under the city were also surrounded, and they knelt down and surrendered one after another, and were disarmed and taken away by the soldiers.
The patrol soldiers in the city saw that the situation was not good, and ran to both sides, but they were met with a dense fire of crossbow arrows, and the arrows came like a torrential rain, and most of them fell to the ground in an instant, and the remaining dozen soldiers were so frightened that they lay on the ground and shouted surrender.
As the captain at the head of the city was beheaded by Wei Rulin, the remaining two hundred or so soldiers all knelt down and surrendered.
In this battle of capturing the city, the Jin army ended in a short period of time with an absolute superiority in strength, and none of the 500 soldiers escaped, either died or surrendered, all of them were solved.
The peripheral soldiers deployed by Wei Rulin did not play a role, which was also to prevent the patrol soldiers from arriving and deployed, which was not necessarily useful, and also because there were relatively few patrol soldiers, and their actions were not discovered.
Wei Rulin immediately ordered three torches to be lit and waved them into the darkness in the distance.........
In the dark night, Yang Mi led 17,000 soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, and they did not have the exact time, but were only patiently waiting for the signal from the city.
Frankly speaking, in addition to responding at night, they have many ways to take Linyi City, such as sneak attacks during the day, or storming the city walls at night, but from the perspective of avoiding street fighting and minimizing damage to the city, this method is still the best at the moment.
"General, there's a fire!" The soldier pointed to the city and shouted.
Yang Meng also saw that three torches were waving in the dark night, he was in good spirits, and shouted: "Enter the city!" ”
The army set off and rushed along the official road to Linyi County.......
In the county seat, a patrol of 20 soldiers was rushing towards the south city gate, they received a report from a husband, saying that there was a fight at the south city gate, this group of soldiers rushed to check the situation, there were still more than 30 steps away from the city gate, the city soldiers shouted to them, "Password!" ”
"Shocking!"
The commander of the first brigade replied loudly: "Say that there are people fighting here, what is the matter?" ”
"The brothers have made some small conflicts, nothing has happened, and it has been resolved."
The commander of the brigade for the first time glanced at the other party suspiciously, he suddenly felt that the other party's armor was a little wrong, they were all leather armor, but the other party was Mingguang armor, I heard that only the Son of Heaven Guards had Mingguang armor in the entire army, what was going on?
"Boss, how did the city gate open!" A soldier's eyes were sharp, and suddenly he noticed that the city gate was actually open.
The brigade marshal beat a drum in his heart, knowing that something was wrong, he laughed dryly, "Since there is nothing to do, I will leave." ”
He turned around and was about to leave with his soldiers, when hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared around him, surrounded them, and aimed their crossbows at them.
The brigade marshal was so frightened that his voice changed, and he raised his hand and said, "Don't do it, I.... I give up! ”
"Lost your weapon!" The first lieutenant said coldly.
The brigade commander hurriedly put down his knife and spear, and he hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Quickly put down the weapon!" ”
The soldiers put down their weapons one after another, several soldiers stepped forward and picked up their weapons, and the captain waved his hand, "Go to the alley!" ”
The brigade commander was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and begged bitterly: "Big brother, spare us!" I'm surrendering! ”
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, go to the alley."
Twenty soldiers hurriedly followed the brigade commander into the alley, the Jin soldiers quickly disappeared, and the street became quiet again.
At this time, Yang Meng led the army to the city gate, and Wei Rulin greeted him, "See the general!" ”
"How?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, I didn't alarm the enemy army, please come with me!"
Seventeen thousand troops entered the city, and they followed Wei Rulin towards the enemy camp.
Outside the barracks, there have been five or six hundred Jin army lightning soldiers hiding on both sides of the barracks gate, several soldiers are looking at the barracks gate, the barracks gate is relatively deep, dozens of steps away from the street, the exit is sandwiched in the alley between the two shops, but the alley is relatively wide, about 20 steps deep.
The gate of the barracks was tightly closed, and there were more than two dozen soldiers patrolling the gate, and a guard tower was still being built next to it, only half of which was built, and it would be completed tomorrow.
Wei Rulin came to the mouth of the alley, looked inside, he glanced back at Yang Meng, Yang Meng nodded to him, Wei Rulin immediately shouted: "Do it!" ”
Hundreds of soldiers appeared at the same time, raised their crossbows and shot at the camp gate, and the crossbow arrows shot like a storm towards the camp gate of more than 20 paces.
"Kill it!"
Wei Rulin shouted the order, hundreds of soldiers threw away their crossbows, brandished spears and rushed up, more than a dozen ropes were put on the gate, and they pulled hard, the gate of the barracks collapsed, and hundreds of lightning soldiers were killed.
Yang Meng also shouted: "Kill it!" ”
He led 17,000 into the barracks........
This is a battle without suspense, when the main force of the Jin army entered the camp, almost all the 10,000 Zhu Jun troops were asleep, including the main general Pan Ling, they had no choice, either surrender or die, and groups of soldiers were escorted out.
The main general Pan Ling was also escorted out in embarrassment, his arms were tied behind his back, he was wearing a white middle coat, and he was barefoot, his eyes were full of anger and surprise, he really couldn't figure out how the Jin army could suddenly kill, he was not prepared at all.
Yang Meng looked at him and saw that he had no intention of surrendering, so he waved his hand and motioned to be escorted down.
These generals who were arrested and refused to surrender would generally be escorted to Chang'an, where the Ministry of War would investigate, and if there were no evil deeds, they would be released and returned to their hometowns, and if there were serious evil deeds, their lives would be difficult to protect, and if the evil deeds were not serious, they would also be imprisoned for several years.
On the contrary, soldiers, if they are well-trained elite soldiers, they will be incorporated into the Jin army, ordinary soldiers will be lightly discharged, if they are captured on the battlefield, they will go to mining for three years, and if they are captured before the war or surrender voluntarily, they will generally be released and returned to their hometowns.
According to the rules, the 10,000 troops belong to the latter, although the rules have not changed, but in fact, now they basically no longer send ordinary soldiers to the mines to mine, but directly return to their hometowns, the reason why the rules have not changed, to a greater extent, is to deter the enemy.
Three days after the night attack on Linyi County, Li Bing personally led 20,000 cavalry to annihilate the 10,000 troops who had gone from Yizhou to Mizhou to support in Ju County.
At this point, Zhu Jun's 30,000 troops left in Qi were all wiped out, and all the eleven states of Qi were captured by the Jin army.
With the complete destruction of the Qi State, Zhu Zhu's dynasty has been fully surrounded by the Jin army, with the Hebei Army led by Yao Jin in the north, the Jiangnan Army led by Li Bing in the east, the Jingxiang Army led by Zhang Yun in the south, and the Guanzhong Army led by Pei Xin in the west, and 300,000 troops surrounded the Central Plains.
But Guo Song was not in a hurry to eliminate Zhu Jun immediately, he was still waiting for the last opportunity to come.
But another threat hidden in the shadows peeked at Guo Song and his family like a poisonous snake.
