Of course, Zhao Zhixian, Tan Yuliang, and Tan Tie could not so easily hand over the Chinese city that had worked hard for nearly two years.

Looking at the appearance of Feng Changyu and the others who fled into the Chinese city in a hurry, although Zhao Zhixian and the others still didn't think through why the four surnames suddenly sent troops to attack them, they could also guess that the four surnames should have fallen into the trap of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son.

Even if the four surnames no longer gather soldiers and horses to retaliate against the Han family father and son, in their eyes, although the Han family father and son have raised more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, most of them are rabble, and their combat effectiveness is as weak as chickens, so there is no need to be afraid.

In addition to the 500 remnants of the Chinese city, they also had 2,000 women and children to help defend the city.

As soon as the agreed surrender time passed, Tian Cheng also came out of the Jiangtan camp with his soldiers and horses and forced towards the southern wall of the Chinese city.

The weapons brought from Wuqiao Creek by boat have been assembled overnight.

More than a dozen iron pulleys and shield carts filled with stainless steel spearheads were in front to prevent the defenders from counterattacking from the city, and in the rear were five hundred generals clustered around four huge building carts, slowly advancing in front of the city gate tower.

Sixteen bed crossbows were placed on top of the building car, and when they entered the firing range, one after another huge crossbow arrows as huge as short spears shot towards the guards at the head of the city like black meteors, and immediately shot the bricks and gravel at the head of the city.

Tanzhou soldiers and horses originally had more than 30 bed crossbows hidden in the city, but in yesterday's fierce battle, more than half of them were lost, leaving 167 bed crossbows, and the bow arm crossbow strings were loose and difficult to shoot far.

The four whirlwind cannons were also successfully erected in front of the south gate of the Chinese city before noon, and smashed the stone bullets weighing more than 100 catties into the brick and wood structure of the city gate tower, destroying the defense facilities at the head of the city little by little, and then more than 100 soldiers who climbed the city first, with the help of strong climbing vehicles, forcibly rushed up the city wall more than two zhang high, wielding swords and spears and halberds, suppressing the counterattack of the defenders at the head of the city, and seizing more space, so that more generals could climb the city wall to fight.

Kong Xirong strongly demanded to be the first to attack the city as the first to ascend the armor.

In the past, Kong Xirong obeyed Feng Yi's words, and everyone regarded him as Feng Yi's follower, and often ignored him, but he was wearing two layers of armor at this moment, raising an iron shield with one hand and a short lance with the other, and with scattered arrows, he took the lead in rushing to the city wall, standing at the forefront, holding the shield against the remnants of the defenders who were desperately counterattacking, and the sharp short lance was stabbed out again and again, and then pulled back, blood splashed in front of his eyes, but Kong Xirong's expression was as calm as if he was practicing assassination with a wooden stake.

Of course, Kong Xirong is not blindly stabbed, in the chaotic battlefield, he also pays attention to the strength and weakness of the enemy's front line at any time, the enemy army is too strong, he will also unite the left and right generals to retreat to a corner, hold their foothold at the head of the city, and wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses to board the city wall for reinforcements, the enemy army is chaotic, and he dares not hesitate to take three or five people to rush into the depths to kill, tearing the defender array to pieces.

Han Qian held the bronze telescope and saw the battle situation in the city clearly, and secretly felt that Kong Xirong usually looked taciturn and generous by nature, and he had no complaints when sent by Feng Yi, maybe a person like him was like his father Kong Zhou, he was a natural general on the battlefield, and he seemed a little clumsy in dealing with people.

I have to admit that the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou have a very strong will to fight, and those who can be sent to Xuzhou to lurk are naturally elite veterans loyal to the Ma family, which is very different from the incompetent performance of the Tanzhou army in the Jingxiang War at the beginning.

Han Qian even transferred some of the generals of the second battalion stationed in Qianyang City in the afternoon to fight in turns, so as to reduce the consumption and casualties of the first battalion.

However, the bloody battle between the four hundred remnants in the city and the four surnamed soldiers yesterday was too much consumption, and almost all of them were wounded, and they went into battle in a hurry, and their combat effectiveness was still seriously affected.

The two thousand old and weak women and children in the city are purely old and weak, and none of them are brave and strong.

They are the dependents of the remnants of the city guards, and they are connected by blood, and they are desperate to help defend the city, but after all, they are far from being the opponents of the tigers and wolves.

The source of the Xuzhou soldiers is complicated, and the newly recruited generals have not been trained much, but the grassroots military attaches are all elites tempered by the bloody battle of Xichuan, and it is even more rare for all the generals who climb the city wall to fight, and the armor is so good that the defenders are desperate.

Dengcheng armor, either wearing stainless steel armor, or iron leaf armor wearing an extra layer of leather armor, the war knife, war spear, battle axe, is also extremely sharp, slashing for a long time, the blade is not broken a few openings, the arrows that are shot over, the strength is great, the drilling force is also strong, ordinary leather armor is difficult to effectively cover, the casualties of both sides opened the gap at the beginning.

The siege lasted intermittently for a day, almost more than 300 remnants of the city, more than 500 women and children were killed up and down the city, and the guard Tan Tie was also on the city wall in the southwest corner, and was stabbed to death by Kong Xirong who fought on the city for the third time with a short lance, Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang saw that the Xuzhou soldiers came in from the west gate and the south gate one after another, and finally chose to surrender with less than 200 remnants and more than 1,800 dependents.

Tian Cheng led the first battalion of generals to take control of the Chinese city before dark, and drove more than 100 remnants of the defenders and 1,7800 remnants of the defenders to the Jiangtan camp and imprisoned them.

The Chinese city is not big, the circumference of the city wall is only four or five miles, and the city is only four or five hundred steps square, and in this year or so, the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou have closed the Chinese city to develop, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the mystery inside.

Han Qian didn't need to charge into battle, he waited for Tiancheng and them to bring men and horses to clean up the inside and outside before entering the city with Xi Ying.

In the past two years, there were more than 3,500 soldiers and horses in Tanzhou, including women and children's dependents, and in addition to building the city and cultivating thousands of acres of new grain fields outside the city, they were mainly pounding in the city, and Tanzhou was constantly transporting resources.

After Han Qian entered the city, he found that although there was only one main street in the Chinese city, more than a dozen alleys and nearly 300 sets of large and small courtyards were distributed on both sides of the main street in an orderly manner.

There are also eight wells dug in the city, and there are also sewage canals that secretly communicate with the Yuan River outside the city.

In addition, the city also has more than 3,000 people in reserve, which can support at least half a year's worth of 12,000 stone of grain; Obviously, they were also prepared for the possibility that the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou might suddenly come over to besiege Chinese City before the grain fields outside the city were harvested; Or maybe they thought that one day they would suddenly send another two or three thousand elites over to completely control Xuzhou in their hands.

The town general's mansion is quite simple, and there are weapon racks and several long cases in the large hall.

In addition to Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang who have been lurking in Xuzhou for a long time and need to have a small family as a cover, they were also detained by Han Qian in Qianyang City at this time, Tanzhou directly sent the main general to lead the soldiers and horses, and the small family stayed in Tanzhou, so the back house is also quite simple.

Han Qian walked around, and then returned to the lobby, Tian Cheng was escorting Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang, who were tied up with people, he hurriedly changed his smiling face, and ran over enthusiastically to untie Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang, and said: "Today is really wronged Lord Zhao and Tan Dangjia, you also know that there are some things that I don't want to do." ”

set a trap and made the four surnamed soldiers fight with them, and then the Xuzhou soldiers ran over to pick up the leak and killed seven or eight hundred of their generals and women and children, but Han Qian put on such a face, Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yu's conscience seemed to be stuffed with dirty and stinky broken cotton wool.

However, the king was defeated, the city fell and the army was defeated, and they fell into the hands of Han Qian, what could they say?

"I have ordered that Lord Zhao and Tan Dangjia's family be sent from Qianyang, I don't know if Lord Zhao and Tan Dangjia are willing to stay in Xuzhou, or do I want to send a boat to send you back to Tanzhou?" Han Qian lifted his armor, sat up behind the central long case, and discussed with Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang with a kind face.

He set a trap, led four soldiers surnamed Fan to fight with Zhao Zhixian, and then sent troops to capture the Chinese city, which can only show that his father and son have the ambition to completely control Xuzhou and are unwilling to be subject to Tanzhou.

The imperial court has not yet gathered soldiers and horses on a large scale in Ezhou, even if it can paralyze Tanzhou for one more day, it must try its best to fight for it.

Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang looked at each other for a while, and they understood that the Han family's father and son had set such a big trap, almost shoveling them out, and they even wanted to get the goodwill of Tanzhou!

In the eyes of Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang, the father and son of the Han family are wishful thinking, but their net worth and life are in the hands of Han Qian, and if they have a chance to get out, they will not be stupid enough to clash with Han Qian.

"At this time, Eagle Fish Village has fallen into the hands of Lord Han, and we have nothing to say, but please Lord Han release the remnants and other families back to Tanzhou, and Tanzhou should be able to feel the kindness of Lord Han."

Even if he can return to Tanzhou at this time, Zhao Zhixian also needs to consider that he and Tan Yuliang may be held accountable when they return to Tanzhou.

At this time, if the two hundred remnants of the soldiers and the 1,780 dependents can be brought back to Tanzhou, even if he and Tan Yuliang will be held accountable, they should be able to mitigate the punishment.

Han Qian snorted and said, "The two hundred little guards are all injured, if they are sent to board the ship with Lord Zhao and Tan Dangjia at this time, I am afraid that few people will survive to Tanzhou." As for most of the dependents, they have unfortunately died on the bank of Antler Creek, even if they don't stay to guard the tomb, it will be difficult to make ends meet when they return to Tanzhou. After all, Eagle Fish Village still has the fields they have cultivated in the past two years and the houses they have built, so I won't be embarrassed for them. ”

Seventeen or eight hundred dependents, including seven or eight hundred young women, are precious labor resources wherever they are placed, how could Han Qian let them go back to Tanzhou?

There was no room for discussion in this matter, in order to show "sincerity", Han Qian at most entered the few middle and low-level military attaches who had no family in Xuzhou, and went back to Tanzhou with Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang.

Seeing what Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang wanted to say, Han Qian waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, Lord Zhao and Tan Dangjia will go to rest first, and I will arrange a boat to send you back to Tanzhou tomorrow." Then they took Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang down and imprisoned them, and said to Tian Cheng, "You immediately remove the military attachés who have no families in Tanzhou here, and then arrange for someone to blow the wind to those ordinary generals, and say that Tanzhou will ransom Zhao Zhixian and others, but give them up ......"

Ordinary generals have no loyalty to Tanzhou, not to mention that most of them still have wives and children who are detained here, and they are the easiest to naturalize - even if these people are used to cultivate the land, Han Qian will not let them go back to Tanzhou.
