Chapter 632: Xia Pi Lost Li Gan died in battle

Just after midnight, when the time came, Yuan Jun opened two big holes in Surabaya and Yishui at the same time.

The pouring flood rushed to the city of Xiapi.

The surging water submerged all along the way, and the violent flood soon slammed against the earthen walls of Xiapi City, causing a burst of sound.

The action of the huge force shook off countless sediments on the mottled walls.

As both sides had expected, the walls were strong and the flood was not devastating.

The city was not destroyed by the flood.

However, the water still seeped into the city along the various leaks.

The entire city of Xiapi was suddenly soaked in turbid water like a spring.

Houses and streets were all occupied by floods.

The water level in the city continued to rise, and soon it reached the knee to the waist.

Although the city was still in hand, not many people were killed or injured as a result.

But looking at the vast city, Li Gan and his generals still frowned frequently.

"The water is so deep that it can't go back for a while and a half, and it greatly affects our actions." Li Qian said to his subordinates:

"Get some craftsmen and build some boats!"

The men quickly complied.

Floodwaters continue to pour out of the two rivers.

Soon when it arrived, the sky lit up a large area, and the horizon was slightly bright.

Looking at the sky, Ji Ling said to his subordinates who had already prepared: "Let's go, this battle can only succeed and not fail, go into the water!" ”

Yuan Shu's elite soldiers carried the bamboo raft down to the river one after another, and then climbed on the bamboo raft, took the penny, and rushed to Xiapi City with buoyancy along the water.

It turns out that Yuan Lian's real dream killer is here.

He did not rely on the flood to collapse Xiapi City, but used it as a cover to distract the attention of the first lieutenant army at the same time, and used the flood to quickly send the soldiers to Xiapi City.

Take advantage of this to storm the city gates.

The choice was also carefully calculated at dawn, and when the army arrived at the downhill city, it was just bright.

When the first lieutenant defending the city found out, it was estimated that it was too late.

Everything is developing towards Yuan Lian's vision.

When Ji Ling's bamboo raft came to the city, the first lieutenant of the city found Yuan Jun.

"Bell ......!"

The wooden stick was struck, and the soldiers who were the first to find Yuan's army tore their throats and shouted: "It's not good, there is an enemy sneak attack, and there are enemy troops ...... under the city."

The officers and men of the first colonel, who received the news, took their weapons one after another and counterattacked.

Archery is an archery, throwing stones to smash a bamboo raft.

Yuan Jun on the bamboo raft also opened his bow and shot arrows, erected the ladder placed on the bamboo raft in the water, and then climbed up with a few leaps.

"Kill ......"

There were too many Yuan troops, and there were too few soldiers defending the city, and soon countless Yuan troops climbed up on the city.

The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, scuffling and fighting on the city walls.

There are less than 3,000 soldiers in the entire Xiapi City, and there are about 600 soldiers in each city gate.

In addition, they needed to stay in the city, and after the flood came, most of them were sent to the disaster.

At this time, the west gate and the north gate were attacked at the same time, and the soldiers of the other two gates and the soldiers in the city were almost unable to come to help.

And Yuan Jun also had a steady stream of soldiers coming on bamboo rafts.

The first lieutenant army and Yuan Jun fought desperately and bloodily in the two gates, and the most of them gradually died because they were outnumbered.

Li Gan rowed from the city to the west gate in a few small boats that he had prepared, and then went up to the city wall to preside over the overall situation, but his little people were useless.

In the end, he also fought to the death.

"It's a pity!"

None of the first lieutenants in Xicheng escaped and frightened, all of them were killed, looking at the countless corpses lying across the city, Ji Ling couldn't help but sigh.

Although he took advantage of the superiority of his forces to occupy the city wall, he paid twice as much as the other side.

This is still in the case that the other side has no reinforcements, and if the other side has reinforcements, this battle is really difficult to fight.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the water outside the city began to drop.

Ji Ling said to his subordinates: "Tell the military advisor that Ximen was captured by our army, and Xipi City was broken, and we succeeded." ”

After explaining, Ji Ling ordered a team of people to get the bamboo raft outside the city into the city, and then asked them to row to support the north gate, where the battle had not stopped.

Soon, under the internal and external attacks of Yuan's army, the first lieutenant army of the north gate was also killed collectively.

After taking the two city gates, Ji Ling was not in a hurry to attack the east gate and the south gate.

Instead, they continued to increase their troops, and used bamboo rafts to control various points in the city, and surrounded and killed the first lieutenant army in the city one by one.

The water comes and goes fast.

Especially since the earth has been dry for so long, the earth absorbs water.

And Yuan Lian made people re-plug the gap and repair the place where the embankment broke.

The water flows downwards and goes eastward.

In the evening, the water in the city receded.

At this time, Ji Ling finally launched an attack on the east gate and the south gate.

"Listen to the enemy troops in the city, surrender! The city of Xiapi has been occupied by us, and it is useless for you to defend the city gates.

Moreover, your captain Li Gan died in battle, and the Lord General is gone, so you have no reason to work for him. ”

The strength of the first lieutenant is still not weak, and he doesn't want to fight Ji Ling and the others if he can.

After all, such a sacrifice is meaningless.

At the same time, if these generals can be captured, it will also be of great significance to them.

"Surrender, joke, there are no generals in our first lieutenant army who surrendered, let's come in the first place, just so we can compensate the captain so that he is not lonely below!" On the city wall of the east gate of the city, a certain general in charge drew his sword and pointed at Yuan Jun under the city:

"Come on, Hugh is going to be verbose, killing one is enough, killing two is earning."

"Hum stubborn, give me arrows......"

The general of the Yuan army who attacked the city gate said angrily, and suddenly countless arrows flew towards the city, and the Yuan army with a shield rushed up along the female walls on both wings.

The first lieutenant of the city also released arrows and crossbows, and launched a fierce counterattack.

South Gate!

"Lord, in the next life, I will drink and talk with you, and kill the enemy and destroy the bandits together......" A certain captain at the south city gate fought with the Yuan army who rushed up with a spear in his hand, until it was best to be in one breath, and did not fall, let alone surrender.

The lonely sunset was as red as blood.

The first lieutenant army, from Captain Li Qiankun to the 3,000 soldiers were all killed in the battle.

Xiapi City then announced that it had officially changed hands.

The bad news was so bad that Xue Zong and the others were silent for a long time.

A thousand soldiers wanted to go to Xiapi to take revenge, but they were stopped by the commander and Xue Zong, who were in charge of commanding the troops.

Of course, Wang Xiu, who was in Pengcheng, didn't expect this result.

Li Qian was killed in battle, and the 3,000 officers and men of the first lieutenant army were killed.

He was also silent for a long time, facing east.

Zhengdonglai raised troops, and in the past ten years, Xu Ding's subordinates have not been killed, not to mention the main generals, even the partial generals.

Now he has lost a general in battle, and he is still a full captain of the First Army.

At the same time, 3,000 soldiers were killed en masse, and this loss was also very large.

Wang Xiu's pressure suddenly increased.

This time the credit may not be enough to offset this loss.

Zhang Zhao came over and persuaded: "Uncle Zhi's mourning, nothing more than self-blame, no one thought that Yuan Jian would break the embankment of the two rivers and flood Picheng, let alone that he used a bamboo raft to attack the city, this is not your fault." ”

"Hey! Zibu, you don't know, I ordered General Li to defend Xiapi no matter what, if there is no such order, he should be able to retreat with Jingwen to go down to the prime minister, so that he and the three thousand soldiers will not have an accident! Wang Xiu closed his eyes, and now his mood was a little chaotic.
