"What's going on with the loud bang just now?"

When the explosion sounded just now, Wang Shifan was on his way back to his house on horseback, and the explosion sounded and directly startled the horse, and Wang Shifan was directly thrown off the horse.

Fortunately, the surrounding soldiers reacted quickly, and although Wang Shifan scratched a little skin, he was not too seriously injured.

Wang Shifan was not the only one who was frightened by the war horse, and the same was true for many of the war horses of the pro-soldiers.

"Qi Yu Festival Shuai, the loud noise seems to be coming from the city gate!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, another scream sounded, "Hurry up, the city tower... The castle tower is gone! ”

Wang Shifan turned his head sharply, and saw that the tall city tower in the direction of the city gate was gone, and what he could see before was now gone.

All that's left is thick black smoke!

"What's going on?" Wang Shifan looked in the direction of the city gate and stood there dumbfounded, and after a long moment he turned his head stiffly to the side and looked at the group of men.

At this time, a fast horse galloped forward.

When the horse stopped, a soldier quickly got off the horse's back and knelt in front of Wang Shifan, "Qi Yu Jieshuai, the enemy army outside the city doesn't know what to use to collapse a large section of the city wall. Now the enemy has entered through the gap in the wall! ”

"What are you doing in a daze? Block it for me! Obstruct! Wang Shifan roared.

"Yes!"

Only then did the surrounding generals react and scattered in a panic to dispatch troops.

At the city wall, even if Liu Yan quickly organized thousands of people to counterattack, they poured into Qingzhou City from the gap.

Those frightened and chaotic Qingzhou soldiers were simply ineffective in intercepting this elite assault force.

Especially the three thousand forbidden army, like a killing god from hell, the counterattack force that the Qingzhou soldiers finally organized was scattered by the three thousand forbidden army at once.

At the forefront of the 3,000 forbidden army were elite soldiers wearing heavy infantry armor and holding spears, and the thin leather armor of the Qingzhou soldiers was like paper paste in front of these pikemen. The spear easily pierced into the leather armor, and then stabbed into the body of the Qingzhou soldier, blood splattered, and then he fell unwillingly.

For the chaos and retreat of the Qingzhou soldiers, the 3,000 forbidden army did not give up the formation because of this, but advanced step by step.

On the contrary, the three thousand Taining soldiers couldn't resist the impulse in their hearts, and rushed out directly to fight with the Qingzhou soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers on his side kept falling, Liu Yan was dripping blood in his heart, and he was also very anxious, and shouted, "Block it!" ”

"Commander, retreat quickly, you can't stop it! Enemies elsewhere have stormed the walls, and we can't hold them! ”

"Can't be withdrawn! Can't be withdrawn! We still have a chance! Liu Yan yelled.

Liu Jun did not withdraw, but others did, such as Wang Shifan.

After learning that the imperial army had invaded the city from many places, and that the cavalry had also entered the city, Wang Shifan realized that Qingzhou could not be defended.

Thinking that his Wang family has been running Qingzhou for several generations, it was not until his father's generation that he really controlled Qingzhou, but he didn't expect that it was in his own hands in the end.

Wang Shifan thought about defending to the death, but under the persuasion of a group of generals and staff, he finally chose to retreat with his belongings.

However, he did not announce the amount of the order to retreat, and if he sent 5,000 troops to reinforce the city gate and block the imperial army, he would take the opportunity to pack the belongings in the palace and pull them away in a carriage.

As long as he has those possessions, he has a chance to make a comeback.

As Wang Shifan abandoned these desperate and bloody soldiers, the resistance of the Qingzhou soldiers in the entire city became weaker and weaker, and the ruins at the city gate were also cleared, and Cui Anqian was able to enter the city.

"Qiyu Jieshuai, the rebel thief king Fan has abandoned the city and fled to Laizhou!" A bloodstained officer came to Cui An and reported as he approached.

"Marshal, the last general is willing to lead the troops to pursue!" Huo Cun hugged his fists.

Cui Anqian thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Huo Tingshi can be pursued, but don't underestimate the enemy, the strength of the Qingzhou soldiers is still there, chase twenty miles and go back!" ”

"Yes!" Huo Cun nodded, and then turned to leave.

Seeing the chaotic situation in the city, Cui Anqian ordered, "Zhu Tingshi, Zhang Tingshi, let your troops quickly end the melee in the city." ”

"Yes!"

Qingzhou is under the state, and Cui Anqian, the envoy of the Ziqing Festival, can be regarded as justifiable.

Although Cui Anqian is not valued by Li Ye, after all, he has served as the envoy of the Zhongwu Army and the two towns of Xichuan, and he is not a literati who doesn't understand anything.

It is precisely because of this that even if Li Ye doesn't like this person very much, he also asked him to serve as the envoy of the Ziqing Festival.

After a few people left, Cui Anqian's eyes looked at the Qingzhou soldiers who were surrounded by the forbidden army.

。。。。。。

"Commander, we are surrounded!"

"I want you to talk nonsense, I can't see it?" Liu Yan didn't have a good airway.

Liu Yan was unwilling to fail, but the entire Qingzhou soldiers had no intention of fighting again, even if he fought desperately with some of his cronies, he could not change the entire battle situation.

Because he, the Qingzhou soldiers, resisted the most fiercely, he was naturally taken care of by the forbidden army.

。。。。。。

"The Qingzhou soldiers in front, surrender. Your marshal Wang Shifan has abandoned you and run away, he is a traitor, you are not.

If you continue to resist, when the time comes, not only will you die here, but your family will also be implicated. ”

For these Qingzhou soldiers in front of him, Yang Shihou was really reluctant to kill them here, otherwise he would have let people release arrows a long time ago, so that they would not be besieged but not attacked.

After all, the enemy in front of you is not the kind that must be lived and died, it is the kind of foreigners, after all, 'the heart of the non-my race must be different'. is also a Tang person, it is naturally best to be able to surrender, but the imperial court will rule the entire Ziqing in the future, so you can't kill all these people.

And the general in front of him with tattered armor, if he remembers correctly, it is Liu Jun who he fought before. Being able to subdue his former opponent is also something to show off for him.

。。。。。。

"Commander, the marshal abandoned us!"

Hearing this result, the surrounded Qingzhou soldiers looked a little depressed, obviously they didn't expect that they and others would fight to kill the enemy, but the result was abandoned.

Thinking about it, it's a little unacceptable.

Liu Yan looked at the subordinates around him, the immature faces, hesitated for a while, and then came to the front of the formation, looking at Yang Shihou.

"I can choose to surrender, but can you promise not to settle accounts with our people?"

Just as Yang Shihou was about to speak, a deep and majestic voice came, "Ben Shuai can guarantee it." ”

I saw that under the escort of Cui An's potential personal soldiers, he came to the front of the formation and looked at Liu Jun, "Ben Shuai knows you." Your father is also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, and you are also newly promoted to the deputy commander of the capital, so why should you be loyal to Wang Shifan's rebellion.

As long as you are willing to serve the imperial court, this commander can not only not pursue your crimes, but also guarantee you to the imperial court to serve in the army! ”

Liu Jun thought for a while, immediately put the weapon on the ground, and then knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists, "The sin general Liu Jun is willing to serve the imperial court!" ”
