This time it was Li Xuanzhu's third division who was responsible for the main attack, and seeing his subordinates fall in batches in the gap, Li Xuanzhu could be said to be distressed, and the helmet on his head was thrown to the ground by him, scolding and constantly mobilizing the various departments under his command, constantly filling in the gap.

"Grandma's! Give Lao Tzu to pick up, the rattan player takes the thunderbolt and rushes to the pass wall to blow it up for me! Leave a pontoon bridge for Minzhuang to transport the wounded out! Don't block all the roads! If anyone dares to pee Lao Tzu's pants today, Lao Tzu will chop him with his own hands! "By this time, Li Xuanzhu was already in a state of rage.

In just half a day, at this gap, the Xingtian army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, almost reaching 20% of the strength of the three divisions, but the progress of the offensive battle was still not large, and the defenders seemed to be crazy, a group was killed, and then they went up to the pass wall again, hit with three-eyed guns, shot with bows and crossbows, and smashed with stones, desperately preventing the Xingtian army from entering the city.

At this time, even the palace guards were driven out by Xiangyang and handed over to the fierce tiger for deployment, for this reason, many palace guards refused to give their lives, even if they were cut down by the fierce tiger, they had to fight with the Xingtian army at the pass wall.

Seeing that the casualties in such a fight were too great, Xiao Tianjian ordered the firecrackers to concentrate at the gap, and provided them with cover with swordsmen, while sending the dead soldiers to raise their shields and rush towards the pass wall, and bombing the officers and soldiers on the pass wall with thunderbolts, while ordering the firecrackers to go up in a row and fire at the officers and soldiers on the pass wall in the gap, giving full play to their firepower advantages, and at the same time ordering the artillery team to desperately suppress the officers and soldiers at both ends of the city wall, so that they could not gain a foothold on the city wall.

In this way, under the fierce blow of the combination fist of the Xingtian Army, the officers and soldiers in the city finally began to hold on, and the battle to this point was already regarded as a great over-level performance for these officers and soldiers in Xiangyang, seeing that the corpses of the robes on the pass wall were almost piled up, and there was not even a place to settle on the pass wall, where had the officers and soldiers seen such a tragic battle! Although they were as fierce as a tiger jumping under the pass wall and slashing people and forcing them to go up the wall, this method was useless at this time, and a large number of mentally broken officers and soldiers jumped off the pass wall regardless of it, and desperately fled towards the city.

At this time, his general Liu Shijie had been blown up by the Xingtian Army on the pass wall, his body was full of wounds, and he was vomiting blood, obviously he couldn't live, and the officers and soldiers had collapsed at this time, and the more than 200 Ding teams close to him were still making the last resistance, but with the sound of the fire guns of the Xingtian Army in rows, the family members of the family Ding team also fell down one after another.

Immediately, some of the Xingtian Army's subordinates began to lift the ladder into the gap and set it up on the pass wall, and more and more Xingtian Army members began to pour into the gap, climbed the pass wall from these ladders, and began to fight with these family members in close combat.

In the end, even the family members who supervised the war began to be unable to bear it, and they were forced off the pass wall, and dozens of family members stood up as fierce as a tiger, regardless of his roar, and fled towards the north of the city with him.

A large number of Xingtian army members shouted to kill Shaking Heaven over the pass wall and began to pour into the city.

The fierce battle in the city was carried out until the middle of the night before it gradually stopped, although a large number of officers and soldiers finally knelt down and surrendered, but because the casualties of the Xingtian army during the siege of the city were too heavy, they all killed the red eyes, regardless of the officers and soldiers to the ground, what military discipline can not be taken care of at this time, the war is cruel, and it is extremely violent, when the red eyes are killed, the animal nature of people is completely stimulated, not to mention that the soldiers have been constrained by various military disciplines for a long time, and there is a lot of violent air in their hearts, When the battlefield is stimulated, this kind of anger will be completely released, so in this battle of Xiangyang, the phenomenon of the Xingtian Army violating discipline and killing prisoners is very serious, and the defenders and even the people in the city are slaughtered quite a lot.

And Xiao Tianjian led the guard battalion into the city at night, and after entering the city, he also discovered this situation, so he hurriedly ordered the guard battalion to go to various places in the city to carry out bomb pressure, so that before dawn, the Xingtian army who had already killed the red eyes was controlled, so that the massacre in the city could be stopped.

Many officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were so frightened that they were scared and urinated, sitting on the ground and crying, including the people in the city who were also crying in a mess, after all, many of them were not willing to be enemies with the Xingtian Army, just because the defenders in the city forced them to help in the war, and as a result, the people were also slaughtered a lot.

Xiao Tianjian walked on the streets of Xiangyang after dawn, and saw that it was full of devastation, many houses were set on fire and are still burning, and many houses were destroyed by shells, corpses and rubble were everywhere, and a disgusting smell of blood filled the entire Xiangyang City.

Xiao Tianjian stumbled suddenly, slipped under his feet and almost fell, and looked down to see that he had stepped on a piece of people's intestines, which suddenly made him a little sick.

When the lockdown was opened, the battle was not so tragic, but the battle of Xiangyang was fought so badly, looking at the tragic situation in the city, Xiao Tianjian sighed: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither!" Hopefully there is nothing wrong with what I am doing! Someone came, the order went down, and Zhang Bang told the people in the city that if anyone died in the family, the Xingtian Army would give five taels of silver as compensation! Gather the people in the city, quickly clean up the corpses in the city, transport more lime from outside the city, and spread it in the city as soon as possible!

It's hot! If you don't hurry up and clean up the corpses in the city, I'm afraid there will inevitably be a great plague in Xiangyang City......"

Li Xin followed Xiao Tianjian around the city, listening to and noting down Xiao Tianjian's orders, he also saw the tragedy of this battle, to be honest, he was also shocked by the intensity of the resistance of the officials and soldiers, no wonder the soldiers who entered the city would kill the red eye, in other words, if he watched a large number of his robes fall beside him, he would probably be crazy.

What he admired even more was Xiao Tianjian's speed of reaction, after entering the city, he quickly suppressed this senseless massacre, and immediately began to arrange the aftermath, although the war was tragic, but he could take into account the people here for the first time, and did not slaughter the city because of this, this is very rare, with such a person to fight the world, why worry that he will be brutal to the people in the future?

Li Xin continued to pass on Xiao Tianjian's orders from generation to generation, and the situation in the city gradually began to settle down, and in the afternoon, the mood of the people had gradually calmed down, although the Xingtian army killed a lot of people in the city, but they did not slaughter the city in the end, and they did not break into the households to harm the people in the city, which is already commendable to the people, and what they didn't expect was that after Xiao Xingtian entered the city, he actually ordered every family with dead people, All gave five taels of silver as relief, which is even more unimaginable, it can be seen that the rumors of the Xingtian Army's compassion for the people are not false, so the people dare to go out of their homes and start cleaning the corpses in the city on the street.

A large number of corpses and wounded of the two armies soon began to be carried out of Xiangyang City and buried on the hillside outside the city.

Xiao Tianjian sat in the lobby of the Xiangyang prefect, looked at Li Xuanzhu below and looked at the collapsed lobby, shook his head a little helplessly: "That's it!" You don't have to ask for guilt, there is a reason for killing prisoners in the city this time, plus you have merit in attacking the city, you and Zhao Erdonkey can avoid the death penalty, but the living crime is unforgivable, each go down and get twenty military sticks! In addition, everyone will be punished for three months, so remember it later!

Let's talk about the loss! ”

Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey hurriedly said yes, after attacking the city yesterday, their subordinates were all red-eyed, and as a result, they did a lot of disciplinary violations, and the Xingtian Army was strictly disciplined, if according to the normal situation, this time both of them are guilty, although it is unlikely that they will lose their heads, at least everyone is no problem to take off the first level, and now Xiao Tianjian is lightly punished, let them each receive twenty military sticks, and punish them for three months, which is considered a light punishment for them, so both of them are relieved.

After counting, Xiao Tianjian learned that this time it was only Li Xuanzhu's third division, which killed 1,078 people and wounded nearly 2,000 people during the siege of the city, including more than 300 wounds.

But on the other hand, it is also a great joy for Xingtianjun to be able to lay down such a strong city as Xiangyang, and if he takes here, the entire Jingzhou will open the door, and Huguang will also open the door, and the next step will be to attack Huguang, and it will be much easier for the sword guide to Zhili, so such a loss is still bearable for Xiao Tianjian, and it is also worth it.

What's more, this time to take Xiangyang City, not only finally killed the guard general Meng Ruhu and his son Meng Xianjie, but also killed the general Liu Shijie, not to mention defeated Yang Sichang and He Renlong's defenders, just in terms of officers and soldiers, the loss is about 30,000, the exchange ratio of their two armies can be said to have reached seven to one, and the captured armor, grain, and baggage are so many that they can hardly be counted clearly in a short period of time, and in the blink of an eye, using these things, you can form another division of troops, and you can also arm a reserve battalion of nearly 10,000, Huguang's officers and troops are basically only Zuo Liangyu's way, and they can still cause them a little trouble.

As for the seizure, in addition to the armor, only the silver taels obtained from the Xiangwang Mansion and the mansions of many magnates in Xiangyang City are also millions, and other valuables including calligraphy, paintings, and antiques are countless, which shows how far these princes and the powerful people in power have accumulated wealth, and too much folk wealth has been accumulated in their hands, which cannot blame them for rebelling!

And for the captured Xiangwang, Xiao Tianjian didn't be polite to him, who made Xiangyang fight so hard this time, and this Xiangwang even sent his palace guards to resist, plus if he didn't die, Yang Sichang probably wouldn't die, so Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered, pushed out Xiangwang and cut off his head, sent someone directly to Suizhou, and handed it over to Yang Sichang who ran to Suizhou, to see what else Yang Sichang could do! Xiao Tianjian is deliberately angry with Yang Sichang.
