Chapter 321 Daxing City Breaks

As soon as the third watch arrived, a cavalry of 3,000 people suddenly appeared outside the north gate, and with the order of the leading general, the drums suddenly sounded loudly, and the sound was magnificent, and a sharp arrow flew to the city with a roar.

The generals on duty did not dare to be careless, and immediately arranged for the soldiers to report to their immediate boss, the city lord. Unexpectedly, the enemy troops under the city were still harassing and feintting, beating the war drums in a hurry, and then firing several rounds of sharp arrows, and in less than two quarters of an hour, they urged the war horses to leave.

When the city defender will summon the soldiers to come, they have already left, and they have not seen the enemy, and the city guard will scold the general on duty, and then take the soldiers back to rest.

As soon as the fourth watch arrived, 3,000 cavalry appeared outside the south gate again, and they did the same as before, first beating a war drum, then firing a few rounds of sharp arrows, and then leaving before the city defender would appear. The defender who came in a hurry could not see the shadow of the enemy, and scolded the general on duty in the southern city again, and then returned to the city camp with his soldiers.

Five corrections, the same scene appeared outside the gate of the West City again, and the city guard who was played again scolded the generals on duty in the West City, but he was still furious, so he ordered his own soldiers to refuse all the reports of the soldiers before dawn, and prepare to sleep with their heads covered.

More than half of the fifth watch, it is still a sparse moon star. Of the more than 200,000 officers and men of the Tang Army, except for the 50,000 who stayed in the camp, all the rest of the officers and men were dispatched.

Among them, Li Yuan personally led 100,000 soldiers to the west gate, preparing to feint to attack the west city, and Li Jiancheng brothers led 90,000 soldiers to sneak outside the south gate, waiting for the city to open the city gate.

After the fifth watch, the earth-shattering war drums sounded outside the West City Gate, and then Li Yuan gave an order, and 100,000 soldiers suddenly held the enemy's long knife, shouldered the siege ladder, and killed Daxing City overwhelmingly.

At this time, Nei Ying in the city also opened the gate of the southern city on time, and Li Yuanba took the lead in rushing into the city with two black drum urns and golden hammers. Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin also led 30,000 vanguard cavalry to follow into the city.

30,000 cavalry soldiers, 30,000 iron hooves stepped on the ground, and suddenly the sound shook the night sky, shaking the earth, and the Sui soldiers who were still dreaming in the city were suddenly awakened, and the same was true for the lord of the city.

The lord of the city defender will hurriedly gather the soldiers, and then divide the troops into two routes, and arrange 30,000 soldiers to support Xicheng all the way, but he himself will personally lead 30,000 soldiers to Nancheng, preparing to drive out the enemy army that has entered Nancheng again.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. Not long ago, his own soldiers rejected three messengers who came to report the news, and missed the best opportunity to gather a large army to intercept the Tang army into the city.

By the time he led an army of 30,000 to Nancheng, Li Shimin had already led 30,000 cavalry soldiers into the city and successfully occupied Nancheng. At the gate of the city, Li Jiancheng led 60,000 infantry soldiers to enter the city in an orderly manner.

Li Yuan's hegemony is incomparably powerful, like a god descending from heaven, he is holding a pair of thunder drums and urns and golden hammers on a rampage, smashing left and right all the way, no one can stop him, and the middle one is all with a violent head and blood splattering. For a while, the surrounding Sui soldiers were all frightened, and they retreated again and again, not daring to step forward to stop them.

At this time, the Tang army's breakthrough of the city was unstoppable, and the city defender would be full of remorse and shame. I saw him shouting angrily, waving a zhang eight snake qiāng, urging him to step forward and fight with Li Yuanba.

His martial arts are good, but he is still not Li Yuanba's opponent. After a few moves, Li Yuanba bullied people with his strength, and the sledgehammer in his hand smashed down on the head of the city defender, and the city defender would not be able to dodge, so he could only raise qiāng to block.

I only heard a loud "click", the snake qiāng broke in response, the power of the sledgehammer was undiminished, and it continued to smash downward, only to hear "poof!" With a soft sound, the head of the city defender will suddenly blossom and be loyal to the country.

The main general died, and the surrounding Sui army soldiers suddenly collapsed, and they no longer had the heart to resist, and fled to the surrounding streets, and the Tang army soldiers did not pay attention to them anymore, but under the leadership of Li Shimin and Li Yuanba brothers, they went all the way to the palace.

The palace has long been in chaos, and the guards of the palace are also scattering and fleeing, with Li Yuanba's bravery, the Tang army soldiers easily broke through the gate of the palace, and soon captured the master of Daxing City at this time, Yang Yu, and his ministers, and the Yin Shishi is also in it.

After the news of Yang Yu's capture came out, the Sui soldiers who were still resisting in the city immediately gave up their resistance and surrendered one after another. After a few hours, Daxing City returned to calm again.

Three days later, Li Yuan ordered the Yin Shishi and Gu Yi to be beheaded in the open place at Caishikou, and ordered the three clans to be razed. For a time, Li Yuan's prestige increased greatly, and all the ministers and officials in Daxing City were in danger, whether they sincerely surrendered or pretended to flatter, they were all cautious and did not dare to oppose it again.

A few days later, Li Yuan designated an auspicious day of the zodiac, arranged for Yang Yu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and respected Yang Guang as the emperor from afar, and proclaimed himself the king of Tang, the prime minister, in charge of all military and political affairs.

……

After successfully driving Li Mi out of Dongjun, Su Shang did not stay in Weicheng City for too long, and after appeased the Wagang soldiers who surrendered, he arranged for Su Dingfang to be the main general, Pei Changcai and Qihu as the deputy generals, and led a total of 60,000 soldiers to garrison Wagang Mountain and Dongjun, focusing on defending the threat from Xingyang Li Mi.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered Liu Lan to become the main general, and Huang Yi and Wu Ji as deputy generals, leading a total of 30,000 troops to garrison Liyangcang and Jijun, focusing on defending against the threat from Dou Jiande in Hebei.

After everything was arranged, Su Shang led tens of thousands of troops to escort the captives of the Wagang Army, as well as grain, grass, soldiers and helmets and other booty.

It has been three days since Su Shang returned to Donglai City. In the past three days, he has been a shopkeeper again, temporarily handing over all the military and political affairs in the army to Du Ruhui and others, but he was lazy and stayed at home and spent a happy holiday with his parents and wife.

For the sake of safety and for the convenience of discussing military affairs with the generals, Su Shang's office has always been located in the Donglai camp. After relaxing for three days, Su Shang came to the barracks early this morning, and it took nearly two hours to finish reading and processing the recently accumulated notebooks.

Su Shang was about to stretch and stretch his muscles, but when he saw Du Ruhui and Li Yixing walking in together, Su Shang suddenly stopped his movements and said with a smile: "The two of you came together, did something big happen?"

The two nodded, and then saluted Su Shang with a standard military salute at the same time, Li Yixing stepped forward and handed Su Shang a notebook, "Marshal, this is the information I just received, Taiyuan Li Yuan established Yang Yu as the emperor, and proclaimed himself the king of Tang, the prime minister, and the prime minister for all military and political affairs." ”17
