Chapter 437: Breaking the City
Cai Qiong responded, and immediately walked to the sides of the city wall with another spy and used torches to send signals.
Seeing the flickering light of fire coming from the city wall, there was movement inside and outside the city at the same time.
Seeing that Cai Qiong and the others were sending out a signal, at this time, the Qi army on the city wall reacted.
"Kill the spies."
"Go and reinforce the gates."
"The Song army is here, retreat."
"Quick, inform the general, request reinforcements."
For a while, all kinds of shouts came from the city wall, which was messy.
Some people shouted and rushed towards Chen Tong and the others.
Some of them ran with weapons like under the city walls.
Some of them looked at the fire in the city, and then at the faint light of the fire outside, and then, without saying anything, threw away their weapons, turned and ran.
There are also people who are in a dilemma, they want to kill the enemy, and they want to run to the city.
Suddenly, there was chaos on the city walls.
In the city, Ren Shan and Gou Dai immediately took nearly 200 people and went straight to the south gate. After approaching the south gate, he found that there were only more than 30 people guarding here, and he didn't see any reinforcements coming around, so he immediately said with great joy: "Kill, open the city gate, and welcome Xue Jun into the city." ”
You ran forward a few steps, closer to the city gate, until he could already see the guard's frightened expression, Ren Shan shouted, "Kill." ”
With the sound prompt, nearly two hundred people led by Ren Shan immediately rushed towards the defenders.
After a short time, Ren Shan and the others paid a slight price, and the defenders of the city gate were wiped out, and then, everyone cleaned up the corpses while opening the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, Ren Shan saw a fire dragon approaching quickly outside the city, and said with great joy: "Xue Jun is here with a large army, everyone guards the city gate and welcomes Xue Jun into the city!" ”
Outside the city, after Xue Jun received the news from the King of Chu, he immediately led a Song army to wait outside the city.
It wasn't until the third watch that the signal came from the city wall.
So, Xue Jun didn't think about it, and immediately led the army straight to the south gate.
After arriving not far from the south gate, he saw that the south gate of Xuecheng was open, fearing that the city gate would be recaptured by the Qi army, so he immediately urged the soldiers anxiously: "Hurry, speed up, kill into the city, and capture Tian Wen alive." ”
Fortunately, what Xue Jun was worried about did not happen, and until the Song army entered Xue City, the city gate was still controlled by Chu Guoying.
After entering Xue City, Xue Jun immediately ordered: "Send an order, send a message to the King of Song, saying that I have successfully captured the city gate, and let the King of Song send someone to seize the city as soon as possible." ”
"No."
"Send an order to send 2,000 people to the east to open the east and welcome the Chu army into the city."
"Order, leave 3,000 people to guard the south, and the others will follow me to arrest Tian Wen."
With that, Xue Jun immediately took a part of the Song army and went straight to Tian Wen's mansion.
Where, it used to be the location of Xue Junzu's palace.
Xue Jun took the Song army, ignored the chaotic Qi army on the road, and quickly rushed to Tian Wen's mansion.
It's just that when Xue Jun arrived at Tianfu, he saw that the door of Tianfu was wide open, and people kept fleeing with bottles and cans.
Seeing this, Xue Jun was shocked and angry, in this situation, Tian Wen must have run away, otherwise it would not be so chaotic.
Thinking about it, he ordered: "Order, control and seal off Tian Wen's mansion, and kill those who dare to escape." ”
"No."
When the soldiers of the Song army heard the order, they immediately cut down more than ten people who ran out of Tianfu, and then drove the frightened crowd back into the mansion, and then the Song army rushed directly into Tianfu, preparing to control Tianfu.
At this time, Xue Jun was angry about Tian Wen's escape, came to the gate, saw the person who had just escaped, pulled out a person from it at random, and asked sharply: "Who are you, do you know where Tian Wen is?" ”
The man responded in horror: "General Hui, I am Tian Wen's inferior guest, as for Tian Wen's place, I don't know." ”
"It's useless!" Xue Jun cursed, then drew his sword and stabbed the man to death with a sword.
Then, Xue Jun pulled out another person from the crowd at the door and asked, "Who are you, do you know where Tian Wen is?" ”
When the man saw the sword in Xue Jun's hand that was still dripping blood, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Xue Jun didn't say anything, and stabbed him to death directly.
Xue Jun was about to pull out a third person to vent his grievances after many years of exile from the Chu State, when a lieutenant walked out of the mansion and said, "General, our army has taken control of Tian Wen's mansion and blocked the passage in and out. Only found Tian Wen's doorman Qi Maung in the mansion, but he had already killed himself. ”
Xue Jun laughed when he heard this: "Okay, this old horseman also has today, in the past, he relied on Youtian Baby as a backer, and he died well everywhere." ”
After a pause, he asked again, "Have you ever found Tian Wen?" ”
General Song shook his head: "General, Tian Wen's wives and concubines and children are all there, but Tian Wen is missing, and the henchmen and disciples around Tian Wen are all gone." ”
A fierce light appeared in Xue Jun's eyes, and he hated: "Count him fast." ”
As he spoke, Xue Cheng was about to lead people to the north to chase and kill, but before he could give the order, he saw a soldier running to report: "General, on the road to the north of the city, I found more than a dozen carriages falling on the road, blocking the road to the north gate. ”
"What?" Xue Jun was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that this was Tian Wen's strategy to stop the pursuing soldiers, paused, and ordered:
"Summoning an order, informing the Chu general in the north, Jingyang, that Tian Wen ran away from the north gate, and asked General Jing to send someone to arrest Tian Wen."
"Order, control Tian Wen's mansion, seal off the treasury, and take care of all the people and guests in the mansion, as well as Tian Wen's wives and concubines, and prepare to welcome the king of Chu and the king of Song."
"No."
At the same time, in the west of Xue City, Tian Wen and Zhai Zhang climbed out of Xue City along the rope, and then sighed at each other, and went to Wei with their henchmen.
Next.
Xiong Huai and King Song sat together in Tian Wen's mansion, Jing Cui and Shangguan Doctor were on the left and right, Xue Jun reported in the hall: "King, in the battle last night, Tian Wen was killed by surprise, more than 30,000 soldiers in the city surrendered to us, and captured more than 1,000 Tian Wen's guests, and Tian Wen's wives and concubines and children were all captured. ”
Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, and the results were amazing.
Of course, the so-called 30,000 soldiers, most of whom were wounded soldiers, and not many were intact.
On the other side, King Song asked, "Xue Jun, can Tian Wen's household registration list about Xue Di and the money and grain in Xue Cheng's treasury be counted?" ”
Xiong Huai didn't care about the most critical thing that King Song asked about Xue Di, according to the agreement, all Xue Di belonged to King Song, and naturally King Song asked about these things.
Hearing King Song's inquiry, a trace of loss flashed in Xue Jun's eyes, and then he disappeared and replied: "Back to the king, all the household registration registers were seized in the mansion, and there was no damage. As for the money and grain in the treasury, because Xue Cheng was besieged for several months, and Tian Wen used money to buy people's hearts, there are still hundreds of thousands of copper coins in the treasury, more than 2,000 catties of gold, and 200,000 stones of grain. ”
King Song frowned when he heard this, although he had expected that there would not be much food in Xue Chengzhong, but the amount of money and grain was so small, it was still beyond King Song's expectations.
You must know that Xue Cheng is a big commercial city, although it is not as good as the Tao City of the Song Kingdom, but it is not much worse, and the commercial tax is as amazing, such a little money is too little.
However, thinking of Tian Wen's crazy behavior of throwing money before, King Song was also relieved.
