Chapter 105: There are gains and losses

The siege battle then began immediately, Xiao Tianjian personally arrived at the city, sat in command of the siege, the officers and soldiers who originally surrendered, not only did not fear the battle, but one by one they rushed to receive weapons, helping the Xingtian army ants to attack the city, because Zuo Liangyu's approach, now has already caused the anger of the officers and soldiers under his command, except for those who have followed Zuo Liangyu for many years of ironcore subordinates, most of the officers and soldiers are the people around Jingzhou, they were too miserable by Zuo Liangyu, and now the Xingtian army is here, their opportunity to take revenge has finally comeTens of thousands of officers and soldiers defected in an instant.

After two days of fierce fighting, Liu Guoneng found that Chengtianfu could no longer hold on, so he led 2,000 cronies to break through the west gate of the city, trying to flee along the Han River to Jingzhou, and a large number of officers and soldiers in the city immediately mutinied, opened the city gate and put the Xingtian army into the city.

On June 25, Chengtianfu was taken by Xiao Tianjian, although Liu Guoneng tried to break through, but outside the city was blocked by Li Dingguo's troops, Li Dingguo took his subordinates who had just defected to the old department of the Xingtian Army, and Ai Nengqi as his deputy, stopped Liu Guoneng outside the city and killed him.

In the end, with the support of Liu Yaoben, Liu Guoneng was killed on the spot by several bullets, and his head was also captured by Li Dingguo and presented to Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian looked at Liu Guoneng's head and was quite emotional.

Speaking of Liu Guoneng, he was originally a rebel, and was known as the collapse of the sky, but in the first two years, he was defeated by the official army in the Yunyang area, and then he was appeased by Xiong Wencan, and became the deputy chief soldier of the official army with his subordinates, but this person is different from Zhang Xianzhong, after taking refuge in the imperial court, he began to work hard for the imperial court, and was under the command of Zuo Liangyu, first led his troops to follow Zuo Liangyu to Henan to fight with the Xingtian army as the enemy, and in the battle of Qixian County, he was defeated by Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian once sent someone to contact him, I want him to rebel against the water again and join the Xingtian Army, but Liu Guoneng actually eats the scales, and follows the court with an iron heart, and later he fights with the Xingtian Army many times, all of them are defeated and won less, at the beginning of the year in Nanyang, he followed Zuo Liangyu also participated in the massacre, and was defeated by Luo Rucai's troops, Zuo Liangyu ordered him to defend Fancheng, and then was defeated by Zhao Erdonkey, and now he not only does not think about turning back, but he is still fighting to the death, and now it is good, and he ended up with a defeated and dead.

However, Xiao Tianjian didn't bother to sympathize with this Liu Guoneng, the road was chosen by himself, and he also gave this guy a chance, but he didn't choose to live by himself, he had to follow the current court to the dark, so he didn't know any sympathy.

Liu Guoneng was not only killed in this battle, but also his two sons were killed on the spot, and when he fled, he also killed several wives and concubines in the city.

Xiao Tianjian ordered Liu Guoneng's head to be sent to Jingzhou, and persuaded Zuo Liangyu to surrender and pull him down, otherwise Liu Guoneng would be his end, even if Zuo Liangyu did not surrender, at least it would hit his morale.

As soon as the Chengtian Mansion was broken, there was no barrier to Jingmen, and Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered to march towards Jingmen, and at the end of June, Jingmen was captured again.

And the guard of Jingmen is Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng, Zuo Mengeng saw that the situation was not good, so he abandoned Jingmen County with his cronies, and fled back to Jingzhou, basically the battle of Jingmen did not consume much energy of Xiao Tianjian, and the tens of thousands of officers and troops under Zuo Mengeng were solved.

At this point, Jingzhou was completely exposed to the Xingtian Army's troops, just waiting for the Xingtian Army to launch the final blow to Jingzhou.

At the same time that Xiao Tianjian waved his army to Jingzhou, Li Xuanzhu and Luo Li were not idle, first of all, Li Xuanzhu, after Xiao Tianjian led his troops south, he stayed in Xiangyang, and at the same time, Zhao Erdonkey led two war battalions to move to the Gucheng area, and the two of them were training recruits while guarding against the officers and troops in the direction of Yunyang Mansion.

After He Yilong's army was defeated and annihilated, Yunyang Mansion was like a great enemy, fearing that the Xingtian Army would turn around and send troops to Yunyang, so he recruited a large number of troops in the jurisdiction in order to prevent the Xingtian Army from entering Yunyang.

However, after Zhao Erdonkey arrived in Gucheng, while sending people to train new soldiers, he led two war battalions to start constantly attacking Wudang County, and successively conquered many Zhuangbao in Wudang County, and pointed the troops to Wudang County, forcing Yunyang Mansion to increase troops in Wudang to prevent the Xingtian Army from entering Yunyang in the west.

Because Yunyang is very important to Hanzhong, once Yunyang falls, the Xingtian army will be able to lightly go down to Hanzhong, and now Li Zicheng in Hanzhong is enough for the imperial court, so Wang Yongzuo, the prefect of Yunyang, is very nervous, and hurriedly dispatched the guerrilla general Wang Guangxing to Wudang to block the Xingtian army.

Wang Guangxing is the younger brother of Wang Guangen, the king of Xiaoqin, when Xiao Tianjian attacked Nanyang Mansion the year before last, Wang Guangen was ordered to lead the troops to rescue Nanyang Mansion, but in the west of Nanyang Mansion, he was defeated by the Xingtian Army, and later because he killed the messenger persuaded by Xiao Tianjian to surrender, he was ordered to kill by Xiao Tianjian, and beat Wang Guangen into a hornet's nest on the spot in Tugou Mountain, and later divided his body into a wild dog and threw him on the battlefield to feed the wild dogs, and finally did not even find a corpse.

In the past two years, he has taken over his brother's position, stationed in Yunyang, and led his troops to attack the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army many times, which can be regarded as a strong enemy of the Xingtian Army.

Wang Guangxing led 3,000 officers and troops to aid Wudang, but at the foot of Wudang Mountain, he encountered Zhao Erdonkey's Xingtian Army, and the result of this battle made everyone unexpected.

Zhao Erdonkey because of negligence in precautions, did not expect the official army to send such a force to gallop to aid Wudang, originally he captured a few walled forts, is leading the troops to transfer the materials back to Gucheng, and his number of soldiers and horses is relatively small, only less than a battalion of troops, is on the way to suddenly encounter Wang Guangxing from the mountain road to kill, hastily respond to the battle, the formation was cut off by Wang Guangxing, as a result of Zhao Erdonkey defeated and fled, because of his negligence, this battle under the command of a battalion of soldiers lost most of them, and Zhao Erdonkey was also slightly injured.

The news reached Xiao Tianjian's ears, and immediately made Xiao Tianjian furious, since the establishment of the Xingtian Army, it has attached the most importance to the construction of scouts, and the elite of the army's personal martial arts skills and courage and insight are basically used by the scout team first, so for a long time, the role of scouts has played a decisive role in the battle of the Xingtian Army, but Zhao Erdonkey has a meritorious attack on Xiangyang this time, so he is a little carried away, and he no longer puts the official army in his eyes, so he neglected to prevent such a fiasco.

After all, the generals of the Xingtian Army have a strong sense of taking the initiative to attack, plus the generals are not subject to foreign military orders, and they have considerable autonomy in using troops, which is not wrong, but because he neglected to take precautions, he did not send scouts to explore the way when he was marching, and as a result, he suffered a big defeat, lost hundreds of elites of the Xingtian Army, and lost more than 300 self-generated firearms, which was a rare failure for the Xingtian Army.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian was furious, and immediately dismissed Zhao Erdonkey from the post of deputy capital commander, and ordered him to withdraw to Xiangyang City to be punished, and his position was taken over by the battalion general Gao Tianqian, who sat in Gucheng to restore his troops, and prevented Wang Guangxing from taking advantage of the situation to attack Gucheng County and threaten the safety of Xiangyang.

At the same time, Li Xuanzhu immediately gathered troops and went to Wudang County to retaliate against Wang Guangxing's department, Li Xuanzhu was also deeply ashamed, did not give Zhao Erdonkey a good look, and ordered Zhao Erdonkey to be locked up and recuperated in Xiangyang City, and he ordered soldiers and horses, and immediately rushed to Gucheng County.

At the end of June, when Xiao Tianjian led his troops to take Jingmen County, Li Xuanzhu gathered two war battalions and three reserve battalions, marched into Wudang County, defeated Wang Guangxing in Wudang County, and immediately captured Wudang County, and took Wudang Mountain, a Taoist holy land, into his hands, and pointed directly at Yunyang.

It's a pity that Wang Guangxing's guy ran fast, and fled back to Yunyang with hundreds of Ding, but he couldn't behead him, but because the self-generated fire fell into his hands a lot, Li Xuanzhu also suffered a loss when he fought with him, and was killed and injured more than 100 people by his own self-made fire, and the angry Li Xuanzhu scolded Zhao Erdonkey for being a fool after returning to Xiangyang City, so the relationship between the two people was quite tense.

After Luo Li was ordered to send troops to Suizhou, he went to Suizhou on June 15, because he had sufficient troops, and the officers and soldiers of Suizhou did not dare to fight with him outside the city, Xu Shichun, the governor of Suizhou, recruited thousands of villagers to enter the city in advance to help the war, and gathered a lot of local gentry to help Suizhou, plus when Yang Sichang died, the officers and soldiers who stayed in Suizhou City were not much lower than the Xingtian Army under Luo Li's command.

However, the official army of Suizhou was already frightened by the Xingtian Army, and as soon as Luo Li arrived at Suizhou City, he launched a fierce attack on Suizhou City with the help of Xu Yixian.

In the city, Xu Shichun led his troops to resist desperately, and fought fiercely for several days, and finally Luo Li followed Xu Yixian's suggestion, and led his troops to attack in the south of the city, but he ambushed the main force in the north of the city.

Zhizhou Xu Shichun led the remnants of the city and the Xingtian army to start a street battle, after a fierce battle for half a day, Xu Shichun was wounded and captured, and the officers and troops in the city stopped resisting since then.

Luo Li was originally angry at this Xu Shichun desperately resisted and wanted to kill Xu Shichun, but later heard that the people of Suizhou said that Xu Shichun was a rare Qing official, so he thought about it and sent someone to Xiao Tianjian to ask for instructions on how to deal with Xu Shichun.
