Yang Congyi is not very clear about the combat strength of the pro-soldier battalion, but the defensive strength of the state capital will not be too strong, and the strength of the first battalion should be enough. Although the Xuanwei Army is a Huiyi Guard, not counting the regular army of the imperial court, the soldiers are all recruited from the regular army, and they have been trained before entering the Xuanwei Army, and they have been trained in Changguo for four or five months, and the quality of individual soldiers should not be much worse.

The previous battles of the Xuanwei army were ambush battles, and few short battles were encountered, this time attacking Liangshan, Yang Congyi was at a loss, and I was afraid that the casualties would exceed expectations. Since arriving in Qinzhou, he has not experienced the baptism of hard battles, and he has lost only 100 people, but he has won several big victories.

Yang Congyi summoned all the ten officers of the pro-military battalion to mobilize before the battle, explained and deployed the targets to be attacked, and had only one requirement for them: from the front door to the backyard, destroy every enemy that could be seen.

After the deployment, each went to prepare.

In the quiet camp, the soldiers were enthusiastic, eagerly looking forward to a big battle, taking Liangshan, and attacking the city and plundering the land!

Before dark, the whole army had a full meal, checked their weapons and equipment, and waited for it to get dark.

After the sun set, it was dark in less than half an hour.

"Command the whole army, set off in order!"

Yang Congyi gave an order, and the herald quickly went to convey the military order to the battalions.

An army of 3,000 marched in the dark, from the valley to the east to the west.

The road had been surveyed before, and although it was not wide, it was relatively flat, and most importantly, there was no river along the road, so it was safe to march at night.

More than an hour later, the former army Yuan Huaying had arrived nearly a mile outside the east gate of Liangshan City, and the lights of the city could be seen from afar, and the army stopped here. The subsequent Liu Shi battalion also caught up, and the two battalions were almost in unison, waiting for the city to issue the order to attack.

A gust of wind passed in the middle of the night, sweating through the back of the clothes, and the wet clothes and armor took away the body temperature, and the face was cold, the hands were cold, and the feet were cold.

However, looking at the eyes of the lights not far away, full of longing and eagerness, the thoughts in my heart are rolling, and the blood is boiling all over my body.

After waiting anxiously for more than half an hour, Yuan Hua suddenly saw that the most light in the city in the distance went out, and after a few breaths, it lit up again, and then went out again, three times in a row.

"Let's go!" Yuan Hua let out a low shout, raised his gun in front, and led a battalion of soldiers to quickly rush towards the city a mile away.

Seeing the order appear, the previous battalion of Xuanwei Army went straight to the city, and Liu Shiying shouted in a low voice and quickly followed.

Behind the two battalions, the Yao Chang battalion, Zhang Dai battalion, and Su Zhong battalion followed in turn, and the personal guard battalion fell last.

The entire Xuanwei army of more than 3,000 people rushed towards the east gate of Liangshan City in the dark night, like wild horses.

After a while, Yuan Hua had already led people to rush to the city, and saw that the city gate was wide open and the lights in the city were dim, so he did not hesitate to enter the city immediately.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Su Zhong standing not far from the city gate with a knife, and more than a dozen people stood aside, carefully guarded, and when he saw the Xuanwei army entering the city, he immediately took off the clothes of Li Yueren on his body.

"Where are the north gates and the west gates? Lead the way! He didn't care about greetings, and as soon as Yuan Hua shouted, a person immediately stepped forward and followed his footsteps.

"Hurry, hurry, speed!" Su Zhong looked at the running Xuanwei army, and kept urging and shouting, he was eager to kill them quickly, but his team was not here.

As soon as Yuan Hua's battalion entered the city gate, he saw Liu Shi appear in front of Su Zhong's eyes, and also shouted: "Lead the way, South Gate!" ”

Su Zhong waved his hand: "Lead the way!" A soldier stepped forward.

The front of Liu Shiying's battalion quickly rushed to the south gate, and the rear took over the control of the east gate.

Followed by Yao Changying, Su Zhongying, and Zhang Dai Ying.

"Take them to the barracks!" Without waiting for inquiry, Su Zhong immediately ordered.

The soldiers stepped forward and ran towards the north of the city with Yao Changying, followed by Zhang Dai and Su Zhong.

When all the guards led by Yang Congyi entered the city, the soldiers waiting on the side rushed towards the yamen of the state capital, and the east gate of the city was immediately closed.

The sound of marching in the middle of the night woke up the people in their sleep, but in the border town, this is a very common thing, the front line is fighting, there are often soldiers and horses transferred, through Liangshan to Yulin, the military situation is urgent, and it is not uncommon for troops to enter the city in the middle of the night. Not many curious people get out of the warm bed and get dressed and go out.

After Yuan Huaying was brought to the intersection, the first five teams went to the west gate, and he led the remaining five teams to the north gate.

The city is not big, in less than a quarter of an hour, Yuan Hua has arrived near the north gate, under the firelight, you can vaguely see dozens of people guarding the city gate, or in the city, or under the city.

The defenders in the firelight were exposed in front of the Xuanwei army, while the Xuanwei army running in the darkness was not seen by the defenders.

A hundred steps away, the Xuanwei army had lined up the arrow array, and when he heard the sound of "release the arrow", his fingers were loosened.

In the darkness, a round of arrow rain broke through the air, and after a breath, it fell from the sky and landed on the head of the puzzled Li Yue defenders, and more than a dozen unprepared defenders were suddenly hit by arrows. Without waiting for the panic, the screaming defenders did something, and the second round of arrow rain arrived, and in an instant, there were only a few people in the city.

"Kill!" Yuan Hua put away his bow and arrows, picked up his gun and ran towards the city, and the soldiers behind him were unwilling to be left behind, so they rushed up.

In the face of the Xuanwei army that suddenly came over, the few remaining defenders wanted to open the city gate in a hurry.

However, Yuan Hua and the others were close at hand, where could they escape. As soon as they worked together to remove the bolt of the door, the city gate did not even open a gap, and was hacked to death by the Xuanwei army who rushed to the front.

Seeing that the other side was outnumbered, and it was difficult to resist the defenders of the city, they gritted their teeth and turned to climb up the battlements and jumped out of the city.

The Xuanwei army, which rushed to the city wall, immediately drew their bows and arrows, and instantly shot and killed several defenders who were still crawling under the city.

The north gate to the Great South Pass was successfully taken, and not a single defender escaped.

At the same time, a similar situation occurred at the east gate and the south gate, dozens of defenders were either killed by sharp arrows falling from the sky, or in close combat, the flesh and blood that were killed were flying, and the unprepared defenders of each gate faced the Xuanwei army, which suddenly killed and was several times their size, and had no power to fight back, and was quickly taken down, unable to escape a person.

The experiences of Yao Chang, Zhang Dai, and Su Zhong's three battalions were very different, and at this moment they were fighting head-on in the enemy camp.

Although the enemy camp was easily breached, the panicked enemy did not have much combat strength, but the number of enemy troops was equal to theirs, if not a little more. In the first half, the Xuanwei army killed smoothly, but a quarter of an hour later, the enemy came to his senses and began to counterattack, and the battle situation was instantly stalemate, originally one-sided, the enemy and me were clearly distinguished, and they immediately fell into a melee, and in the dark, it was even difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.

The soldiers of the Xuanwei Army fought bravely, and the enemy army was not to be outdone, and they didn't have time to shout, they didn't have time to scream, and in the faint light of the fire, they fell under the swords and guns one by one.

When the enemy camp was in a bitter battle, the battle of the state capital yamen was not very smooth, and it took a lot of time just to open the gate, and after rushing into the palace, although the defenders who came were quickly eliminated, there were many houses inside, and it took a lot of time to find out all the people in the house one by one.

Faced with this situation, he wanted to solve it quickly, Yang Congyi issued an order to the pro-guard battalion: except for women and children, all of them will be solved on the spot.

Five hundred soldiers of the personal guard battalion rushed up, and the front yard was quickly slaughtered, leaving two teams of people to inspect the fish that slipped through the net, and the others quickly swept from the front yard to the back yard, and those who dared to go out of the room were directly covered by knives and guns, and they couldn't see men and women clearly in the dark, and no one wanted to take the time to distinguish between men and women.

A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers came to report that the backyard had been cleared and more than 40 women and children had been captured.

Yang Congyi ordered the women and children to be guarded in the backyard, and then sent five teams of Xuanwei troops to Simen and the enemy camp to investigate the results of the battle and the enemy situation everywhere.

The lights in the palace were lit and it was as bright as day, and the soldiers of the guard battalion who remained behind began to clean up the corpses and the results of the battle, and fully controlled everything inside and outside the palace. The pro-guard battalion was stationed in the Anyuan County Government for more than a month, and took over the government office and was familiar with the road, and in less than half an hour, it was clear that the Liangshan Government Office, which was not much different from the county government, was clearly explored.

Yang Congyi sat in the hall, waiting for news from all walks of life, while the soldiers of the guard battalion were sending batches of account books, papers, and letters in the officials' study, which he had specially explained, and there might be very valuable information in these things, which must be protected from being burned at will.

In a short time, the soldiers came to report that the treasury had been opened, and there were countless gold, silver, and jewels piled up inside, and there were more than a dozen chests.

Yang Congyi replied, sealed on the spot, and was not allowed to move lightly.

Two quarters of an hour later, the four gates and the heralds of the enemy camp came to report, all four gates were taken, not a single one was lost, the enemy camp was being closed, and by the time the news arrived, it should have been over.

Hearing this information, Yang Congyi's heart was only slightly lighter, it was expected to take Liangshan, and if he couldn't take it, it was called a problem.

Another quarter of an hour later, Yao Chang entered the palace and personally reported that the defenders of the enemy camp had all been taken down, and the battlefield had not yet been cleaned, and I did not know how many enemy soldiers had been killed.

"Go and tell Su Zhong that the key targets in the city should be guarded day and night, especially the granaries and ordnance warehouses." After listening to Yao Chang's report, Yang Congyi was relieved that this city was quite strong, as long as the food and grass and military resources were sufficient, there would be no problem in garrisoning for ten days and half a month.

The four gates are quiet, the killing elsewhere in the city continues, and those who can walk outside in the middle of the night are either fleeing enemy soldiers or fleeing officials, of course, it is not excluded that individual curiosity is heavy, and they are not afraid of the cold in the middle of the night, and they also have to get up to watch the lively people, they are all the targets of beheading, and the enemy who may cause damage to the Xuanwei army.

The occasional scream did not disappear completely until more than an hour later, and Liangshan City fell into the only silence that had never been seen before, while the government was just the opposite, ushering in a very lively scene.
