Chapter 1297: Yellow Robe
In Youzhou City, except for the North Gate and the West Gate, which have been breached, the rest of the gates are still in the hands of the Khitans for the time being.
Yelusu, the commander of the city's soldiers and horses, has sent several groups of messengers asking for help, hoping that Yeluxiu will bring a large army back as soon as possible.
However, when there were no Khitans on the city wall of Youzhou, Yelusu never received any news of reinforcements.
The Khitans are a people on horseback and are not good at defensive warfare, especially street battles in the city.
However, the strongest of the Li Jiajun is the battle-hardened infantry army, and they can be regarded as very good at how to fight street battles in the city.
Today's Li Jiajun is extremely skilled in street fighting, in short, the brigade of infantry protects the 6-pounder guns of the artillery army, and everyone rushes forward together.
Whenever the enemy was intercepted, the officers and men of the Li Jiajun all adopted the tactic of putting bayonets on the artillery, pushing the artillery to the close and bombarding, and the effect was extremely remarkable, blowing up the Khitans to the point where ghosts and wolves howled, and their fathers cried and called their mothers.
In order to fight for the city wall, the officers and men of the artillery corps set up artillery, and the shells fired were all shotguns with amazing power.
Under the close bombardment, the Khitans' bodies, even if they were made of steel, would be swept away by the shotguns, and their armor would be lost.
At the beginning, a single shotgun will clear nearly a hundred zhang of city wall space. Later, the Khitans saw the yellow and faint muzzle of the artillery, and before the artillery army ignited and fired, they had already fled without a trace.
After mastering the city wall, Yang Lie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In layman's terms, with the infantry combat ability of the Li family's army, as long as the city wall of Youzhou is controlled, it is equivalent to saying that the entire Youzhou City is already in the bag!
After controlling the city wall, immediately after that, Yang Lie, who had already mastered the command of all the siege troops of the Li family's army, immediately ordered that all the gates of Youzhou must be captured within half an hour.
As long as the city gates of Youzhou are all taken, whether it is the Khitan people in the city or the Han army acting as lackeys, they will all become turtles in the urn!
After all the city walls were lost, Yelusu knew that the big thing was gone, and hurriedly led people to break through nearby.
The Khitans with horses wanted to escape, but they were still ruthless. After all, several city gates, such as the East Gate and the South Gate, are still in the hands of the Khitans.
The Khitans who fled from Youzhou City on horseback soon exceeded several thousand. It's just that the lackeys Han Jun, who helped the Khitans fight, were completely forgotten by their former masters, and no one cared about their lives or deaths.
At this kind of fatal juncture, the Khitans themselves are afraid that they will be shut down and beaten by dogs, who has time to deal with dog-like vassals?
Soon, the remaining city gates in Youzhou were taken by the Li family's army, and Yang Lie issued an order to march to the center of the city.
Li Zhongyi sat on the wall of the West Gate, and at his feet, hundreds of captured prisoners, under the threat of knives and guns, were struggling to carry stones, and the city gate hole of the West Gate was blocked in an endless stream.
Almost at the same time, there were also hundreds of captives at the north gate of Youzhou City, who were rushing to do the same thing.
The reason is actually very simple, Yang Lie blasted through the north gate of Youzhou, Li Zhongyi collapsed the west gate, and the Li family army must block the west gate, the north gate and the gate of the urn city before Yelu Xiuge led the army back to help.
Although the probability of Yelu Hugo commanding a large army to attack the city is very low, Li Zhongyi's cautious habit of using troops once again exerted a huge influence.
About two hours later, Yang Lie sent someone to report to Li Zhongyi that he had taken the Youzhou Soldiers and Horses Governor's Mansion, the Khitan Nanjing Garrison Mansion and the major key areas in the city, and was continuing to clear out the remnants of the resistance.
Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, Yelu Xiuge must now know that he was too despised Yang Lie's ability, and he was leading the army to hurry up on the bank of the Sanggan River, right?
The key to this battle lies in whether the partial division led by Yang Lie can get rid of the pursuers in time and quickly rush to the north gate of Youzhou City.
It was precisely because the north gate of Youzhou was broken by Yang Lie and attracted most of the attention of the Khitans, that Li Zhongyi blasted open and captured the west gate of Youzhou at a very small cost.
Fighting in the streets of Youzhou City, how could the 80,000 Khitans and the lackey Han army be the opponent of the 80,000 Li family army?
About an hour later, Yang Lie personally came to report to Li Zhongyi that the whole city of Youzhou had been taken!
When Li Zhongyi announced the battle report in public, all the soldiers who participated in the capture of Youzhou were all boiling!
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
“……”
"Lord, what do you think it is?" Yang Lie suddenly raised his finger to the bottom of the city, Li Zhongyi put his hand on the arrow stack, leaned over and looked down, but he didn't notice any different tricks.
When Li Zhongyi was wondering, he suddenly had something draped on his body, he looked down and was stunned: it turned out to be a yellow robe!
"Minister Yang Lie knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Yang Lie pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar in front of everyone, and solemnly knelt on his knees, and bowed in front of Li Zhongyi's feet.
"The ministers knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The relatives around Li Zhongyi all knelt.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The soldiers inside and outside the west gate knelt down.
"Hooray!" The soldiers of the east gate also knelt down.
"Hooray!" The soldiers of the whole city shouted in unison and cheered together.
The joyful roar of the mountains from near and far is like a relay race, and it has spread to all corners of the entire Youzhou City in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers of the Li family's army, all of them waved the weapons in their hands vigorously, and did their best to cheer for the advent of a new era!
After Li Zhongyi woke up from his stunned state, he immediately realized that he was actually added to the yellow robe!
Li Zhongyi opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked with a bunch of big walnuts, and he couldn't spit out half a word smoothly.
I don't know how long it took, Li Zhongyi sighed secretly, the matter has come to this, even if he still wants to be the powerful minister of the Great Zhou, it is no longer possible!
"Bestow...... Give me a flat body! Li Zhongyi took a deep breath, waved his hand as before, and motioned for everyone around him to get up.
"Emperor Xie!" Yang Lie took the lead again, got up from the ground, bowed his head respectfully, and stood aside.
"Emperor Xie!" All the soldiers heard the three words of Ciping, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but burst into ecstasy, and they were made up from the ministers of the dragon!
Li Zhongyi stared at Yang Lie deadly, he never dreamed that Yang Lie, who had the least words, would be the first to stand up and support him as the new king.
It's just that now is not the time to clean up Yang Lie, Li Zhongyi's mood is extremely complicated, there are joys, worries, sweets and sours, spicy and salty, all kinds of tastes are complete!
The country has changed hands, the society has been updated, at this moment, Li Zhongyi has realized that he must say something.
Say something? Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "From ancient times to the present, there have been several Han dynasties, but I still like this Chinese character!" ”
Therefore, the new dynasty was designated as the Han Dynasty, known as the Qiang Han Empire in history!
ps: Finally crowned the emperor, Sikong himself is also very happy, asking for a monthly pass!
