The Huaixi generals suddenly became noisy, and some of them believed what Wu Shaoyang said, saying that they would fight to the death with the officers and soldiers; But some are willing to grasp any straw in a desperate situation, shouting to kill Wu Shaoyang first, and then subdue the official army.

Wu Shaoyang leaned on the pillar of the watchtower and scolded: "Have you forgotten how Gao Yue pacified Yuzhou and how he treated the surrendered Yuanyi Department?" In front of Wei Shuai Tian Xu, from top to bottom, 700 generals and soldiers were cut clean - the pacification of the civil strife of the Zhaoyi Army is a rehearsal for the slaughter of Caizhou immediately, if I die, do you still want to live? Listen, Wei Shuai and Qing Shuai's soldiers and horses have passed the Dingtao, and Bian Shuai has already "

When Wu Shaoyang and the generals of Huaixi were arguing, Gao Yue on the mountain in Tianshan pointed to the opposite Runan Xicheng, "Don't worry about the enemy soldiers on the north embankment of the city, attack from several sides of the Duanji River, Nanhu Lake, and Chaitan, and go all out to capture the west city, so that the Cai thief on the north embankment will destroy himself." ”

At this moment, the envoy from the imperial court panted and climbed up to Tianzhongshan, saying that he had brought the emperor's will, and that Wu Shaocheng's head had been thrown in the public office in Huazhou and had not entered Beijing.

Gao Yue laughed and asked the emperor what else he wanted for Caizhou City.

"Everyone said that if there is no thief left, if Wu Shaoyang can be captured alive, he will be escorted to Beijing and killed; If he wins Wu Shaoyang's head, he will be sent to the Huazhou Public Mansion and accompanied by Wu Shaocheng. ”

"Holy will, don't leave a thief!" Immediately, Gao Yue raised his arm and shouted loudly on the snow.

With this shout, the sixteen heavily armored Killers in front of Gao Yue's horse stepped forward, and then blew the trombone horn on the shoulders of his companions, and the poignant sound suddenly echoed around the entire Runan City.

"Bang!" Six one-stone guns on each side of the cannon spewed out cyan smoke in turn, and in the huge sound of artillery bombardment, the entire Tianzhong Mountain was trembling, which was the signal for launching a general attack on Xicheng.

In the west of the city, the embankment of the Broken Ji River, the south of the city, the lake weir of the South Lake, and the chaitan, the horns, drums, and whistles sounded one by one. The officers and men of the Dingwu Army, the Yining Army, the Tang and Deng Followers, the Jingnan Army, the Wuchang Army, and the Huainan Army, according to the establishment of each team, bumped their heads and waved small flags, and walked in the front, followed by the second and third columns, all wearing armor and shouting to push the newly made donkey carts, and the rear columns raised regimental signs to cover behind, walked out of the wooden fence and the barracks, and densely advanced to the west city of Runan.

In the various sections of the city wall and on the horse face of the West City, some Cai soldiers lay on it, began to kowtow and say mercy, and threw their weapons down; But more Cai soldiers were still roaring, cheering each other on, they raised their bows and crossbows, carried improvised forged earthen guns, and even used fire pots and stones, and fired all kinds of weapons from the city, trying to kill and deter the pace of the official army's attack.

When the fire pot smashed on the roof of the donkey cart, but there was no deflagration, at this time, Cai Bing saw that the pointed donkey cart and shield cart of the official army were actually covered with heavy quilts, not only quilts, but also poured water and stuffed with soil, which was difficult to catch fire at all.

And Caizhou's self-made earthen guns are beaten, and the water-soaked quilt is an opening, and the cotton inside can't splash.

In this way, the donkey cart arrived at the foot of the western city wall, and the soldiers of the official army began to burrow into it, and used iron picks and shovels to pry and dig up frantically.

The guards of the city listened to the frequent and dense excavation sounds, as terrifying as the footsteps of the approaching end.

An hour later, the two walls of the entire west city of Runan to the west and south, stretching for several miles, were all eaten by donkey carts and shield carts, and then they were clattering to the back, constantly raising the clods, and the officers and soldiers behind raised the clods of earth as "ladders", and kept raising and uplifting the head of the city.

Two hours later, in the watchtower of Zicheng, Wu Shaoyang was tied to his shoulders by Wuhuada, crying and being lifted by the group of Huaixi troops, and sent along the city wall to Xicheng - in the end, the group of generals reached a resolution that Wu Shaoyang should first go to the city head and ask the officials and soldiers for mercy, and if Gao Yue agreed, they would send Wu Shaoyang out directly; If Gao Yue does not agree, they will serve Wu Shaoyang as the main rear, and it will not be too late to fight to the death.

However, after running less than thirty steps, the entire city wall of Xicheng suddenly shook violently, from the bottom to the top, a stream of violent sparks continued to rise and rise, mixed with the frightened cries of the guards and people in the city, and also shook the shoulders overturned, Wu Shaoyang fell on the head of the city, still struggling and scolding.

It was the gunpowder of the gods, and after the officers and soldiers dug a cave in the city wall with a donkey cart, they stuffed gunpowder into it, and the gunpowder was wrapped in wax paper, stirred evenly before the battle, and then loaded into wooden barrels and even coffins, dragged with ropes, and then pushed into donkey carts, and then concentrated in several large caves designated for good.

And then it ignited.

The western city of Runan was immediately blown down in three sections, and then the officers and soldiers from all walks of life either rushed in, or climbed the earthen ladder that had been built, and started street battles with the Cai soldiers.

By dusk, the official army had seized the main street of Fangshi in Xicheng, and there were several elite teams of Dingwu army, directly pushing the donkey cart that was still intact, as a cover, chiseled through the wall of the house adjacent to Dongcheng, and began to dig the foot of the wall of Dongcheng again.

More than 1,000 Cai soldiers in Xicheng were killed, and hundreds of them jumped from the height of the city wall in despair, fell to the ground and died, the remains of the dead were scattered on the ground, and the rest all surrendered - they were then escorted by the officers and soldiers to the dry chaitan cofferdam and killed one by one.

In the end, more than 1,000 Cai soldiers from the north embankment to the goose and duck lake really "self-destructed" as Gao Yue expected - the west city had fallen, and they had no way to go to the east city, so they could only collectively throw themselves into the moat and drown.

On the chaitan weir, the ghost cries for a while;

At the head of the eastern city, mourning shook the sky;

In the moat that haunts the East and West Cities, there are countless floating corpses.

In the end, Cai Bing, who could still retreat into Dongcheng, only had more than 3,000 left.

Wu Shaoyang, who saw this scene, completely collapsed, he didn't ask others to persecute him, he put on a white linen shirt after nightfall, and kept kowtowing in the direction of Tianzhong Mountain in the east city, until the blood flowed all over his face, and asked to put down the ladder, walk down by himself, and apologize in front of Gao Yue's tent, and let Gao Yue dispose of him and his family, just to save the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

"Cai thief is poor, how can this way return to the mountain? The so-called heaven does not take it, but suffers from it. Gao Yue categorically refused.

Wu Shaoyang begged again to allow the people in the city to come out.

"The Holy Mandate is urgent, as long as we take Runan City as soon as possible, how can we have time to screen and delay?" Gao Yue refused again.

Eventually, the entire city of Runan collapsed.

Two days later, the gates of the eastern city were opened from the inside the next day.

It's a sign of killing when the door is opened.

Because Huaixi has no confidence to resist, no ability to resist, and no will to resist.

All were smashed.

In the shouting, the officers and soldiers scrambled to raise the battle flag and rushed into the east city.

In the eastern city, the bodies of Cai Bing and his family who committed suicide are lying in houses, ditches and pedalways, and there are more than 10,000 people.

Only the people knelt down and begged on both sides of the road.

Zicheng watchtower, the flames rose to the sky, Wu Shaoyang first killed his wife, killed his concubine, killed his daughter, killed his son, and killed Xian Xiong'er, and then set fire, killed himself, and did it in one go.

Since Li Zhongchen (Dong Qin) and Li Xilie, the military group that has been occupying Huaixi Shenguang and Cai Sanzhou for more than 20 years has been completely wiped out with the fall of Runan Hanging City!
