Chapter 21 Dedication to Xuzhou

"Collapse." Long arrows shot out in the darkness.

After passing through the long street of dozens of steps, it was directly nailed to the complement of Ling Mengchu's well-dressed beast. It seemed to pierce the major artery directly, and a large amount of blood gushed out. dyed Ling Mengchu's official robe red. Ling Mengchu looked down at the still trembling tail feathers and fell backwards.

"Daddy." Ling Chu was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Ling Mengchu. But I heard Ling Mengchu say in his mouth: "Don't do it, Xuzhou ----"

Speaking of the word "Xuzhou", a large ball of blood spurted out of his mouth, making him unable to even speak.

But now in this situation, how can it be that Ling Mengchu said that it will be the same.

The two sides were already tense and couldn't hold each other, and this arrow was like a little spark, igniting a raging fire in an instant. The rebels under Liu Zeqing thought that they could do it by their own people, and immediately rushed over to kill.

Ling Chu brought more than 100 servants, how could he be the opponent of the rebellious soldiers.

In just a moment, Liu Zeqing's rebellious soldiers broke through the more than 100 officials and headed towards Qiu Lei's camp.

When the dust settled, more than a hundred corpses were lying on the ground, and some of the torches that had fallen on the ground and had not yet been extinguished still released a dim light, Ling Chu pounced on Ling Mengchu, he didn't know how many knives he had been hit, and the blood stained the ground red.

Song Wenkui came out of the corner with someone, listened to the sound of fighting in the distance, and knew that Liu Zeqing's department and Qiu Lei's department had handed over.

It's just Liu Zeqing's department, and the dragons have no leader. Song Wenkui didn't think they could win against Qiu Lei's department. Song Wenkui didn't care too much about this, he looked in the direction of the east gate from afar, and secretly said in his heart: "It should start." ”

Suddenly, a firework burst into the sky, bursting in the air, and the flames of the explosion lit up in the eyes of many people at the same time, including Jin Shenghuan, Qiu Lei, Song Wenkui, and Zhang Xuan.

A few miles beyond the East Gate.

In the darkness, countless people stood above the darkness, silent, silent as if they were a group of terracotta warriors.

After Zhang Xuan saw this bright light, his heart was overjoyed and said, "General Yang, it's up to you." ”

"Yes." Yang Shenzu said. After that, he was ready to get up.

"Wait." Zhang Xuan stopped him and said, "General Yang, don't rush to the front, beware of fraud." ”

"The last will understand. Don't worry, my lord, I'm also an old man. Yang Shenzu agreed, and then countless torches fought, like a fire dragon, rushing towards the east gate of Xuzhou.

Jin Shenghuan was covered in blood at the moment, pulled out his long sword, wiped the blood on the long sword on top of a corpse, and then returned the sword into the sheath, and said, "Put the suspension bridge and open the city gate." ”

"Put the drawbridge and open the city gates." Several soldiers shouted in unison, lowered the drawbridge, and dozens of people slowly pushed the city gate open.

The east gate of Xuzhou is called Heqing Gate, the Yellow River flows in the northeast direction, the so-called Yellow River is clear, and the sage comes out. It's just such a beautiful meaning, but it's just empty talk.

Under the three big characters of Heqingmen, Jin Shenghuan was already waiting at the door.

The team did not stop at the city gate at all and rushed into Xuzhou City, only Yang Shenzu stayed and exchanged a few words with Jin Shenghuan. After the brigade occupied the vital place of the city gate, Yang Shenzu was obviously relieved and said: "Brother, I still have important business to do, so I won't stop here for more, Lord Zhang is behind, and Brother Jin will stay here for a while." ”

Of course, Jin Shenghuan could see that Yang Shenzu didn't fully believe him at all. However, he also knew that this was the way it should be, and he didn't care, and said, "I wish General Yang success." ”

Yang Shenzu smiled "haha" and said: "In today's battle, General Jin is the first meritorious man, and Lord Zhang can't treat you badly." ”

"General Xie Jiyan." Jin Shenghuan said.

Although he said this, Jin Shenghuan was a little apprehensive, he tried his best, and sent Song Wenkui to attract the attention of the officials and soldiers, and secretly took action in person to capture the east gate, which can be said to be a real death. It's just that who knows how much Zhang Xuan's previous promise will be able to fulfill.

With the addition of Yang Shenzu's department, the shouting and killing in Xuzhou suddenly rose much higher than before, and finally changed from a chaos in a few places to a chaos that spread throughout the city, and even some places began to catch fire.

Yang Shenzu first defeated Liu Zeqing's troops on the street, Liu Zeqing's troops originally only had a breath of mourning in their chests, and the rest wanted nothing, even if Yang Shenzu didn't come, he would be defeated and retreat in a while. As soon as Liu Zeqing's department left, it immediately evolved into a street battle between Yang Shenzu's department and Qiu Lei's department.

After Zhang Xuan came to Heqingmen, he did not go in.

No matter how many torches are lit at night, there are still places that cannot be guarded against. Maybe a secret arrow can kill Zhang Xuan. Anyway, as soon as the city gate was opened, the entire city of Xuzhou had already fallen into the righteous army, so why should Zhang Xuan risk his life.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan stayed in the Yingying camp to guard the east gate, because the east gate is an important passage connecting the righteous army inside and outside Xuzhou City, in Zhang Xuan's mind, if there is still a unified command of the officers and soldiers, the immediate thing to do is to recapture the east gate.

Once the east gate is lost, Zhang Xuan's good cards will not be able to be maintained, and even Yang Xuanzu's department is likely to fall into the city.

The Linying battalion guarded the east gate, and then Baoding, and the two battalions of Xiping entered the city to assist Yang Shenzu's troops to exterminate the officials and troops in the city. After all, the reason why Zhang Xuan sent Yang Shenzu's department was not because Yang Shenzu was good at street fighting, but because Yang Shenzu's department ran fast.

Yuan Shizhong's men and horses were entering the city after the two battalions at the moment.

Zhang Xuan was on top of the city tower, looking at the large fires in the city, he inevitably had some worries in his heart, and said: "The tiger head sent an order to the camps in the city, the army needs to be fireproof, be careful that the officials and soldiers jump over the wall and burn the city." Zhang Xuan's worries are not without roads.

There were many wooden buildings in ancient times, and when fighting at night, it was inevitable to raise a fire, which would cause a fire if you were not careful, and it was also being cleaned up.

"Yes." He Hutou immediately went down to give the order.

"Don't worry, sir." Jin Shenghuan said: "The person in charge of the city is Ling Mengchu. This person doesn't have such a ruthless heart. ”

"I hope so." Zhang Xuan didn't react to Ling Mengchu's three words. Obviously, Zhang Xuan did not pay attention to the author of three words and two beats in later generations. said: "General Jin should be the first merit in this battle, and after dawn, you will pick all the horses of the official army first, 5,000 cavalry, and I will make up for you." I only hope that General Jin will make new contributions to King Wu in the future. ”

A stone fell to the ground in Jin Shenghuan's heart, and said, "Thank you, sir." The humble duty will definitely go to the soup for the adult, and he will not give up. At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Jin Shenghuan's heart, and he said secretly: "If Zhang Xuan is so generous in the future, it will be good for me to follow him." ”

"Report." A scout came to report and said: "The Ding brothers seized the south gate and went out, and the Xiao County camp collapsed, suffering a lot of losses. Liu was killed in battle. ”

Zhang Xuan rushed up angrily, "waste" swirled in his mouth, swallowed, and said, "Got it, ordered Cao Zongyu to let him clean up the mess." ”

Originally, he felt that the three newly formed battalions were not strong in combat power, and he did not want to put them into the night battle, after all, night battles and street battles have very high requirements for non-commissioned soldiers, and the newly formed Xuzhou Army is not good except for the Nanyang battalion. So they were sent to block the other three gates to prevent the officers and soldiers in Xuzhou from escaping.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Xiao County battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, couldn't stop the Ding brothers' hasty blow, and even the battalion officers were killed.

This Liu Dai battalion officer, Zhang Xuan also knew that he was a sentry commander of the Nanyang battalion, and Cao Zongyu ordered him to go over, mainly for training. But I don't want to die here.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable, these soldiers are Xuzhou thieves, and they are not even the elite among the Xuzhou thieves. This group of people is not changing the banner and changing the official, and they will immediately have combat effectiveness.

"My lord, is Ding Qiguang still chasing after him?" The scout hesitated and asked.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while and said, "Don't chase anymore." ”

A thousand birds are in the forest, not as good as a bird in hand. Moreover, the fastest Yang Rope Ancestor has fallen into the city, and it will not be able to withdraw for a while. Sending others to chase after me is afraid that it will be too late now, Zhang Xuan simply broke off this thought and focused his attention completely on this Xuzhou City.
