Chapter 743: Wuchang without blood
Listening to Zuo Liangyu's words, the corners of Weng Zhiqi, the deputy mayor of Tang Jun, flashed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Ning Nanhou, even if you are bent on death, I am not as good as you want! I'm afraid, it's up to you how we want to act now. By the way, you don't have to worry, we won't kill you for the time being, after all, we still have a lot of use to keep your life alive now. ”
Weng Zhiqi snorted coldly, looked around, and shouted angrily at the soldiers of the Left Army who were surrounded by them: "You guys, you can see it clearly!" Now the life of Ningnan Hou Zuo Liangyu is completely in our hands. If you dare to act rashly, we will send him to the western heaven at once, don't you hear? ”
After Weng Zhiqi said this, Zuo Liangyu wanted to open his mouth and scold loudly, but Wang Deren freed his left hand and covered his mouth firmly, even if he twisted and struggled, he couldn't break free, he could only make a vague sound, and he couldn't say half a word.
Seeing that the main general Zuo Liangyu had been completely held hostage, and the soldiers of the Zuo Army who were surrounded by them, everyone was terrified, they looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do next.
Weng Zhiqi saw that their hearts were fluctuating and at a loss, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he shouted again: "Wait and listen! Now our Tang army is besieging the city with heavy troops, and some soldiers in Wuchang City are not enough for our army to plug the gaps. Zuo Liangyu and you are just turtles in the urn, if you want to escape, it is impossible! This Zuo Liangyu wants to go all the way to the dark, you all have a small family, don't joke with your own family's life! If you continue to be obsessed with the overall situation, ignore the overall situation, and continue to work for it, it will definitely be a dead end! After our army city is broken, we will slaughter all of them, and no one will be left! ”
Weng Zhiqi's words made the soldiers of the encircled Left Army more and more panicked, and the entire formation began to loosen, looking uneasy to deal with.
"Hmph, you know the times!" Weng Zhiqi sneered and continued: "Listen, I don't ask you to make a decision immediately, as long as you immediately release a passage now, let me wait for Zuo Liangyu to go to the north gate of Wuchang City, and let my army enter the city, then you will have made a great achievement." When the time comes, instead of being held accountable for their crimes, everyone will be rewarded for their meritorious service. How about it, such generous conditions, can you hear it? ”
After Weng Zhiqi finished speaking, Zuo Liangyu, who was held hostage by Wang Deren, struggled more and more vigorously, his mouth whined, but he was still held tightly by Wang Deren and couldn't move at all.
Zuo Liangyu's eyes were full of anger and despair, and there was even more deep frustration and helplessness.
Seeing this situation, everyone was already uneasy, and although they were silent, their bodies immediately made a choice. These soldiers of the left army, as if controlled by magic power, subconsciously moved to both sides, and soon made way for Weng Zhiqi, Wang Deren and others.
Weng Zhiqi was proud, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he gave Wang Deren a look, Wang Deren understood, and tightened the Zuo Liangyu more and more, so under the protection of Weng Zhiqi and the guards, he quickly and vigilantly left from the passage to the outside.
Because Zuo Liangyu was tightly held hostage, and was tightly guarded by Weng Zhiqi and others, along the way, although there were many soldiers of the Left Army catching up, no one dared to block the road, and no one dared to come forward to fight, so they could only follow Weng Zhiqi all the way to leave Zuofu and go to the north gate of Wuchang step by step.
From the sky, Weng Zhiqi and his entourage, like a huge balloon composed of human bodies, rolled forward on the wide streets of Wuchang, and headed for the north gate.
In front of and behind this balloon, there were a large number of soldiers of the left army, who surrounded and followed within a distance of more than ten paces. It's just that every time Weng Zhiqi and the others took a step forward, the soldiers of the left army in front of them subconsciously took a step back, and the situation was quite interesting.
In the state of being closely followed by the left army all the way, Weng Zhiqi and the others seemed to be a small boat in the angry waves, but they came to the north gate of Wuchang City unscathed.
As soon as he arrived at the north gate of Wuchang, Huang Shu, the strategist who guarded the north gate instead of Zuo Liangyu, saw that Zuo Liangyu, the Marquis of Ningnan, was actually held hostage by his trusted old subordinate Wang Deren and climbed the steps from the city wall, and his face instantly turned white.
"Wang Deren! You dare to commit chaos and hold the lord hostage! It's a big dog! Seeing Wang Deren and others walking all the way to the city from the city wall, Huang Shu couldn't help but rush forward, pointing at Wang Deren and scolding bitterly.
Wang Deren sneered, but the head knife in his hand became more and more powerful, the sharp blade cut through the skin of Zuo Liangyu's neck, and several lines of blood immediately snaked out of the wound, like a few small snakes crawling happily.
"Huang Zhonglin, you guy, listen to Lao Tzu!" Wang Deren glared at Huang Shu, who was trembling with anger in front of him, gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, Lao Tzu has defected to the Tang Army, and Lao Tzu has gone behind his back to make trouble, so what?!" Tell you, those who know the times are Junjie, and I can't hang myself on a tree anymore, and now I'm in such a situation, how can I let me take the blame?! You Wenchen, who can only chew your tongue every day but have no ability at all, tell right and wrong in front of Zuo Liangyu every day, and make such an embarrassing situation, don't you have the slightest responsibility for the fuck?! Let me tell you, Lao Tzu has no choice but to do this, but also to save his own life and the lives of his brothers! ”
"Wow, you, you thief who betrays the Lord, can still say such shameless words, Huang is really looking at the wrong person, I am really ashamed, you have to know ......" Huang Shu's face became more and more pale, and his words began to be repeated.
"Enough! Huang Zhonglin, shut up Lao Tzu! Ben will be tired of listening to you talk about such useless nonsense! Ben will tell you that the only way you can save your life now is to order the soldiers at the head of the city to open the gates and let our army into the city. Otherwise, after our army breaks through the city, we will definitely behead all the gates, and the heads of the old and young families will be hung at the city gate to show the public! You have to think about the consequences like this! Wang Deren interrupted Huang Shu sharply, and his face was very hideous.
However, just as he was talking to Huang Shu, he was slightly distracted, and Zuo Liangyu, who was held hostage by him, saw the opportunity, roared angrily, like a beast that had escaped from the trap, broke out of Wang Deren's arms, and rushed to Huang Shu's side at once.
Before Huang Shu could let out an exclamation, Zuo Liangyu had already snorted, pulled out the waist knife worn by Huang Shu, and with an angry shout, he swung the knife and slashed at Wang Deren's head.
Such a shocking change, the people around him did not react, and Wang Deren was also shocked in his heart. However, after a long time in battle, with his rich combat experience, he almost subconsciously deviated his head, and the sharp waist knife, with a soft click, cut off Wang Deren's right ear, and the pinna flew away, and blood burst out.
Zuo Liangyu exerted his strength extremely violently, after cutting off Wang Deren's right ear, the knife momentum was unabated, and there was a crisp sound, and the gluttonous beast head on Wang Deren's shoulder helmet was instantly cut away, and the shoulder armor lost connection, like a rag, scattered and draped.
Blood flew from Wang Deren's stump ear, covering half of his face with blood, he screamed, subconsciously covering his injured ear and retreating again and again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, come forward quickly and kill the traitor with Ben Hou!" Zuo Liangyu's face was hideous, and he roared again, bullying himself and rushing forward, and with a strong knife, he slashed away at Wang Deren's face.
It's late, that's fast, at such a critical moment, just when the waist knife in Zuo Liangyu's hand was swung towards Wang Deren's face with a sharp whistling sound, a sharp knife was thrown with a whistling sound, and with a soft sound, the sharp blade, like a pile of soft butter, immediately pierced his neck, leaving only the handle of the knife outside the wound.
This unraveling knife was thrown by Weng Zhiqi, and he shot ruthlessly and succeeded in one blow.
Zuo Liangyu, who was pierced through the neck, let out an almost inhuman roar, and a large cloud of blood mist gushed out from the knife on his neck, and the waist knife in his hand clanged to the ground, and then, he covered his neck and staggered to his knees.
Wang Deren, who escaped the catastrophe, saw the opportunity, quickly rushed forward, picked up the waist knife that fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and exerted his strength, a white light crossed in the roar, Zuo Liangyu's head was instantly cut off, and the huge head rolled around in the air a few times like magic before rolling to the corner of the city gate.
The headless corpse, the neck that was as smooth as a mirror, was still spurting blood, but the whole corpse was falling down softly.
Wang Deren kicked the headless corpse over, his face was covered with blood, his appearance was extremely terrifying, and he yelled at the soldiers of the Left Army who were almost frightened of madness at the head of the city: "See! Zuo Liangyu resisted to the end, which is such a shameful ending! Who else is not afraid of death, and if he wants to oppose our army again, he will end up like this! ”
Wang Deren roared like thunder, the soldiers of the left army at the head of the city were almost stunned, and the strategist Huang Shu was even more frightened and sat paralyzed on the ground, trembling and unable to stand up again.
At the same time, an unpleasant smell of feces and urine spread from Huang Shu's body, making Wang Deren, Weng Zhiqi and the others frown.
, Huang Shu, the first adviser of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, was scared to death by his old subordinates after seeing Zuo Liangyu's head beheaded, which is a shame!
"Listen up! Open the gates quickly, and you will not die!" Weng Zhiqi saw that the morale of the left army was about to collapse, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, and he shouted: "If you don't open the city gate quickly, after the city is broken, you will wait for the whole family to be executed, and there will be no mercy!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Huang Shu, who was paralyzed by fright, immediately shouted in a trembling voice: "Quick, quickly open the city gate for the Tang army and welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city!" ”
This guy reacted quickly enough, and when he saw Zuo Liangyu die, he immediately began to look for a way out for himself.
The soldiers of the left army at the head of the city came back to their senses, they chattered repeatedly, immediately pulled the thick noose, squeaked and quickly lowered the drawbridge, and the soldiers of the left army under the city quickly began to act, the north gate, slammed, and quickly opened.
The Tang army outside the city saw that the drawbridge was lowered and the city gate was opened, and the joy was like thunder, and the soldiers of the whole army were all happy, and they rushed into the city.
At this time, the news that the Lord was killed and the north gate was lost, and the other three city gates were also quickly spread, and those soldiers of the left army hurriedly put down the drawbridge to open the city gate and let the Tang army in the outer city of the city enter the city.
The four gates of Wuchang were wide open, and the Tang army in the surrounding cities was like a monstrous flood, rushing towards the city, and in an instant, all the streets and alleys in the entire Wuchang city were the soldiers and horses of the Tang army, and the remnants of more than 1,000 soldiers defending the city were not seen at all.
Liu Guoneng, the mayor of the sixth town of the Tang Army, and Huang Degong, the mayor of the ninth town, rode their horses together, entered the city from the north gate, and the two entered the city.
Wuchang, the ancient capital of a thousand years, began in the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Wu Huangwu two years (AD 223), is the Wu lord Sun Quan in the Jiangxia Mountain (now Snake Mountain) northeast to build the earth and stone city become, thousands of years to fall, all dynasties, are constantly on this basis to repair and expand the city wall.
The second large-scale reconstruction of Wuchang City was basically finalized in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371). Zhou Dexing, who was the Marquis of Jiangxia at that time, expanded the city of Wuchang Mansion, more than 20 miles around, the wall was built of clay bricks, and the wall was more than two to three zhang high. According to the "Huguangtu Jingzhishu", the Wuchang City of the Ming Dynasty, the alleys and alleys, the government offices are clustered, the cultural buildings such as the Fuxue, the Gongyuan, the Confucian Temple are all over, the literati and bachelors gather, it is like a political center of the cityscape, controlling the two rivers, connecting the seven provinces, is a very important city wall in the south at that time.
At the same time, the Governor Department came to report that he had found sufficient ordnance in the city and a large amount of money and food that could last the whole army for several years, so that Huang Degong and Liu Guoneng, the two town commanders, were simply relieved.
At this time, notices of peace in the city had already been posted everywhere, and the residents of the city were all at ease. Seeing the Tang army entering the city, the people in the city flocked to come and stood densely along both sides of the street. Everyone stretched their necks to see what kind of demeanor the Tang Army swept the world.
They saw that the Tang army that entered the city was full of spirit, well-equipped, dazzling swords and guns, and it could be called the journey of the mighty army Xiong Zhen, and the people of Wuchang were suddenly cheering like thunder and applause. The people's cheers, like thunder, quickly swept through the entire Wuchang City.
In Wuchang City, when the people were cheering together, and the people of the Tang Army were holding a feast in the camp, a group of about 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Left Army was leaving Jingzhou in western Hubei and rushing southward to southwest Hunan.
This left army of soldiers and horses, which is the last remnant of Zuo Liangyu, led by his son Zuo Menggeng, urgently withdrew from western Hubei and fled all the way to southwest Hunan to preserve the strength of Xu Tu to recover.
When this army was about to cross the border of Chenzhou, two domestic servants who had escaped from Wuchang came to the commander Zuo Mengeng unkempt and panting.
As soon as the two saw Zuo Mengeng, they immediately cried and knelt on the ground, and shouted repeatedly: "Zuo Gongzi, something is wrong!" Dashuai, Dashuai, in Wuchang City, he was beheaded by the Tang Army! ”
Zuo Mengeng screamed miserably, fell from the horse, unconscious.
