The people of Gangneung City were awakened by the sound of a huge explosion, almost all of them experienced this kind of explosion for the first time, they talked a lot at home, almost all thought it was thunder, but the night sky was very clear, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, where did the thunder come from?

Liu Bi was also awakened in his sleep, he was a little more vigilant than ordinary people, and immediately asked, "Where is the voice?" ”

The soldier on duty outside said: "The voice is coming from the direction of Xicheng, I don't know the situation!" ”

"Let's find out!"

The soldiers rushed to investigate, and Liu Bi couldn't sleep at this time, he always had a strong feeling of uneasiness during this time, since Liu Shining was exterminated, he felt that his end was coming, but he hoped that the Jin army would exterminate Zhu Jun first, maybe he could survive for a few years.

In fact, Liu Pi was also thinking about leading his army to retreat south, retreating to the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, where he might be able to become a soil emperor.

It's a pity that his idea was unanimously opposed by the soldiers, and he didn't have enough authority to go south against public opinion, so the matter had to be stopped.

However, Liu Pi also learned the lesson of Liu Shining's division of troops and being broken by the Jin army, he concentrated all his 30,000 troops in Jiangling City, and hoarded a large amount of food in the city, even if the Jin army killed the river, he could fight according to the city.

At this time, a strong sense of uneasiness made Liu Bi also put on armor and prepared to ride a horse to inspect the city, but as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, a soldier rushed to the palace and reported in horror: "King Qiyu, the west city gate is lost, and the Jin army has entered the city!" ”

"Ahh Liu Pi was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

..........

The western city was already in chaos, hundreds of soldiers at the city gate were shocked to death, and the soldiers on the other city walls were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Until the enemy army entered the city, someone shouted: "The Jin army has entered the city!" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city got up one after another, and fled in all directions in great panic.

Pei Xin led thousands of people to take the lead in the city, they just rushed to the main street, but saw a large number of enemy troops running along the street to this side, they were also the soldiers in the city who were awakened by the explosion, thousands of soldiers on duty ran to meet the west city gate, but they happened to meet the Jin army who entered the city.

Pei Xin waved his big gun and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" ”

Two thousand short-speared soldiers with large shields rushed to the front, and they followed Pei Xin to kill the enemy, and the two armies collided in the streets, and a fierce battle ensued.

..........

The camp of Jingnan Naval Division is located ten miles east of the city, there is a natural river bay here, which becomes the mooring place of the naval warships, and a wooden fence is built on the river, leaving only a water gate, forming a water village.

There are more than 500 large and small ships in the water village, including nearly 100 warships of more than 1,000 stones, these warships have nothing to do with Liu Pi, they are all built by Hun Yang for several years, and they are the sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which are stronger than the runzhou sailors.

At present, there are 5,000 sailors in the water division, and the main general Liu Xiang is Liu Pi's younger brother, who is tall and tall, but he was originally just a street ruffian, relying on Huo Xianming's power, and leading a group of scoundrels to run rampant in his hometown all day long, and the local government did not dare to provoke them.

After Liu Pi served as the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, he had no henchmen around him, so he brought more than a dozen clansmen from his hometown to serve as officials in various places.

But Liu Xiang didn't understand the navy at all, and the soldiers below didn't obey him, so Liu Bi had no choice but to keep the original commander of the navy, Zhang Kecheng, as Liu Xiang's deputy general, and assist Liu Xiang in commanding the navy.

At this time, Liu Xiang was also awakened by the violent explosion sound in Jiangling City ten miles away, he didn't know what was happening, but the feeling of danger and tension filled his heart, he immediately summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time, the soldiers of the navy also got up one after another, assembled in the camp, and prepared to carry out the military order.

Several generals were talking in a low voice in the big tent, but Liu Xiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the big tent, and kept asking urgently: "Where is General Zhang, why hasn't he come yet?" ”

The general Zhang that Liu Xiang said was the deputy general Zhang Kecheng, Liu Xiang commanded the immovable army, he could only count on Zhang Kecheng to help him share his worries.

The Jingnan Navy is not like the infantry, the water combat skills are very demanding, and it is not possible to recruit new people casually, nor can it be replaced by the Shence Army, so the current 5,000 Navy soldiers are all the team left by Hun Xuan, and the main general Zhang Kecheng is also Hun Ying's confidant and favorite general back then.

Liu Bi knew this very well, if it weren't for Liu Xiang's command of the army, Liu Pi would never have left Zhang Kecheng to continue as a deputy general.

To a certain extent, Liu Xiang is just a puppet, with the false name of the main general, and the real commander is still the deputy general Zhang Kecheng, but Zhang Kecheng is very low-key, there are no thorns, and he does not show his face, and he has been at peace with Liu Xiang in the past two years.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and more than 20 lieutenants and brigade commanders strode into the big tent with Zhang Kecheng, a lieutenant general in armor, Liu Xiang was stunned, and several generals were also shocked to stand up.

"General Zhang, what are you doing here?" Liu Xiang asked in astonishment.

Zhang Kecheng ignored him and asked a few generals, "Which side are you on?" ”

Several generals hurriedly stepped forward and stood behind Zhang Kecheng, and Liu Xiang suddenly became a loner.

"It's ..... What's to be done? Liu Xiang took two steps back and stammered and asked.

"General Liu, hundreds of warships have come from outside the Shuizhai camp, completely blocking the gate of Shuizhai, and tens of thousands of imperial army have also attacked Jiangling City!"

"Ahh Then we ......"

"It's not us, it's you!"

Zhang Kecheng interrupted him, he forced Liu Xiang to look at him and said: "We have been waiting for this day for a long time, and we have endured it for a long time, General Hun Da was killed by the eunuch party, and I, Zhang Kecheng, actually became a general of the eunuch party, we have been patient with this hatred and shame, just waiting for this day to come." ”

"But..... I have no grievances with you, Brother Zhang, you ..... Just let the little brother go! Liu Xiang was nervous, and said the mantra of the former street scoundrel again.

Zhang Kecheng sneered, pulled out his sword, and approached Liu Xiang step by step, "You scoundrel, you can actually ride on my neck as a prestige, you play with the wife and daughter of the soldiers, you detain the soldiers' soldiers, from the day you sit on the seat of the general, your fate is doomed, I will use your head to pay tribute to the general's soul in the sky!" ”

"Spare your life! Rao ......."

Liu Xiang had no chance to beg for mercy, Zhang Kecheng's sword had pierced his chest, Liu Xiang screamed, and was killed instantly.

Zhang Kecheng cut off his head with another sword, turned around and asked sharply, "Who else wants to follow him?" ”

The generals shouted: "We are willing to follow the general!" ”

"Good! Open the gate of Shuizhai and follow me to the court! ”

.........

The battle in Jiangling City was not fierce, when the first wave of soldiers was defeated by the Jin army, Liu Pijun's will to fight was completely collapsed, and the soldiers surrendered on their knees, unwilling to fight for Liu Pi anymore, but the soldiers defending the city had the advantage of urning the city, and thousands of soldiers opened the south gate and fled to the south.

In less than an hour, the battles in various places have ended, leaving only a strong fortress in the palace, the Jiangling palace is known as the city in the city, covering an area of three hundred acres, the high walls are wide, thick and solid, and there is even a small moat, three thousand Liu Pi's elite soldiers occupy the palace and refuse to surrender.

The soldiers on the castle rained arrows, suppressing the thousands of soldiers led by Yang Xuanying at a distance of eighty paces.

At this time, Guo Song led a reserve army into the city, and he came to Liu Pi's palace under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, looking at the brightly lit high walls of the palace.

Pei Xin stepped forward and saluted, and said with some annoyance: "If it weren't for the fact that there was a large amount of money and food in the castle, the humble office would have ordered the mansion to be set on fire!" ”

Guo Song has more experience than Pei Xin, he stared for a long time and said: "Blow up the suspension bridge with hanging mines, and then use the wood to knock open the city gate, and use the heavy infantry to clear the mansion!" ”

"Obey the order!"

After a while, 'Boom! Rumble! Two explosions sounded, and the moat drawbridge collapsed with a bang, and a hundred hoplites who had been ready for a long time walked towards the drawbridge with huge banging logs, and the arrows from above were densely fired at the hoplites, and the arrows clanged at them, but they could not penetrate the heavy armor.

At this time, ten thousand arrows were fired under the city, and the dense arrows quickly suppressed the soldiers at the head of the city, and the soldiers at the head of the city could not raise their heads, and without the harassment of arrows, the heavy infantry increased their speed and smashed into the gate with a mallet.

"Boom-"

Under the impact of 10,000 catties of force, the gate shook violently, and the soldiers inside desperately resisted the gate.

"One more time!" The captain of the hoplite shouted.

The 100 heavy infantry retreated a dozen steps, and once again rushed in unison, 'Boom! There was another violent impact, and the deadbolt snapped open, and a hundred hoplites rushed in.

The three thousand heavy armored infantry who followed immediately killed in, without the strong city fort to rely on, the soldiers in the city were extremely brave, and then well-trained, but under the sharp knives of the heavy infantry, they were still vulnerable, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the square was already full of corpses, flesh and blood were everywhere, and the pungent smell permeated the entire palace, and many soldiers collapsed, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, still unable to escape death.
