Chapter 173: Runzhou Pacification

"Envoy An, the Huainan soldiers have entered the city, and the outer city can no longer be defended, let's quickly retreat to the inner city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Compared with An Renyi, Zhang Hao's injury was slightly lighter, and he reacted quickly at this time and opened his mouth to remind.

An Renyi shook his dizzy head, trying to sober himself up, he turned to look at the soldiers around him, only to see that most of them were also like him, their faces were covered with blood, and he knew that at this time, don't say that the Huainan soldiers have entered the city, even if they haven't entered the city, it will be difficult for them to hold on.

"Retreat, retreat immediately......" An Renyi's voice was a little hoarse, and he immediately went down the city tower under the escort of the guards, only to see a steady stream of Huainan soldiers swarming in, and quickly fought with the guards, knowing that the situation was critical, he hurriedly cheered up, and asked the guards to take his treasure bow, pull the bow and shoot it repeatedly.

An Renyi's archery skills are not trivial, even if he is a little stunned by the explosion, he is still full of accuracy, and every time he opens the bow, a Huainan soldier is shot and falls to the ground, beating the Huainan soldier's offensive to a moment's notice, and he does not dare to approach too much.

An Renyi fought and retreated, and continued to flee towards the inner city, and there were still some defenders in the city who were far away from the explosion point and were not affected, and some people began to resist sporadically. In the end, when the Huainan soldiers came to the gate of the inner city, An Renyi, Zhang Hao and others had already fled into the inner city with hundreds of cronies.

Wang Maozhang's subordinate Zhang Chong led people to block the city gates everywhere to prevent the defenders who were still resisting in the outer city from continuing to escape into the inner city, and on the other hand, he sent people to report to Wang Maozhang.

Wang Maozhang listened to the news from the city that the guards kept transmitting, and learned that the outer city had been captured, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that the overall situation of the battle had been decided.

The inner city is no less strong than the outer city, and although An Renyi's troops are very small, the inner city also has many fewer walls to guard, so it is difficult to capture it in a hurry.

"Send an order to Zhang Chong, let him lead his troops to block the various gates of the inner city, there is no need to rush to attack the city, everything will be said when the outer city is completely cleared. Then send an order to Zhu Qianyou, and let him lead the rest of the army to completely destroy the remnants of the soldiers who are still resisting in the outer city! Wang Maozhang sneered and asked the herald to go and convey his order.

Soon after, news came from Zhu Qianyou that the resistance in the outer city had been completely crushed, and that the defenders everywhere had either been wiped out or had surrendered after seeing that the general situation had passed.

"Mr. Ning, today's battle to break the city in one fell swoop depends on the help of Mr., and Mr. should be the first to take the lead. Now that An Renyi is trapped in the inner city, Ben Jiang should go in person, why don't you go with Ben Jiang? Turning around, Wang Maozhang said politely to Ning Zhong.

"The general's words are serious, but he just came to serve in front of the army according to the orders of the prince, and he didn't dare to take credit. An Renyi is brutal and unkind, Zhang Hao is a villain repeatedly, these two are now at the end of their rope, and they also want to see their fate with their own eyes. Ning Zhong said modestly.

Then, Wang Maozhang personally took the guards and reserves to the gate of the inner city, only to see An Renyi and Zhang Hao standing on the city tower to personally lead the troops to defend the city, and couldn't help laughing: "An Renyi, at this moment, you still don't surrender, do you still want to trap the beast and fight?" ”

"Surrender? Why should General Wang say more, at this time, even if the general surrenders, will the king let me go? ”

On the city tower, An Renyi sneered, he also knew that now that the general trend was gone, it was useless to continue to resist, but he knew that the crime he had committed was so big, and Yang Xingmi could not let him go again.

"Since you know the magnitude of your rebellion, you must also know that it is impossible for the king to spare you. But you also had some merit in following the king to fight in the first place, and if you surrender immediately and send the head of Zhang Hao's traitor, with the king's generosity, maybe you can spare your family? Wang Maozhang said with a smile.

He clearly knew that An Renyi's archery skills were amazing, and if he attacked at this time, he would definitely lose a lot of his soldiers, so he wanted to separate him and Zhang Hao.

Of course, Wang Maozhang also made another preparation, he had already ordered the Suzhou cannon outside the city to be transported to the city, and when it arrived, the boulders roared and directly collapsed the inner city.

On the city tower, An Renyi couldn't help but move when he heard the word family, and at this time he no longer had the luxury of surviving, but it would be good if he could save his family. Thinking of this, An Renyi couldn't help but feel a little moved, and his gaze at Zhang Hao was also a little flickering.

On the side, Zhang Hao couldn't help but secretly say that something bad was wrong when he saw his eyes, he had betrayed his old master many times, and naturally he didn't feel any guilt for betraying Yang Xingmi.

However, Yang Xingmi has already accepted him twice, the so-called thing is only three, will Yang Xingmi spare him for the third time? It's impossible to think about.

"Wang Maozhang, you secretly colluded with the demon Dao and cast demon methods, which is not a real skill. An envoy Jun's archery skills are unparalleled, and the food in the city is sufficient, enough to hold on to wait for help, as long as you wait until King Liang raises troops, there is still a big thing to do! You will not lie here to confuse the people, and to divide my friendship with An Envoy. Look at the arrows! Zhang Hao shouted, and Zhang Gong shot at Wang Maozhang.

Wang Maozhang's position was still more than two hundred steps away from the city tower, so it was naturally impossible to be shot.

He turned to look at Zhang Hao and couldn't help laughing, "Isn't this General Zhang Hao?" General Zhang, don't come unharmed? It's just that the general doesn't remember how many times you betrayed the old master, General Zhu, do you remember? He smiled and looked at Zhu Qianyou on the side.

"The last general remembers that it seems to be the sixth time, but I don't know if General Zhang plans to betray for the seventh time after he defected to An Envoy Jun this time?" Zhu Qianyou replied.

"If General Zhang is willing to betray An Renyi again, sacrifice his head, and beg the king for mercy with this merit, maybe the king can spare you?" Wang Maozhang laughed loudly.

The others around laughed loudly, and each stretched out their fingers to point at Zhang Hao, with contempt.

Zhang Hao's face turned red from laughter, but it was difficult to refute, he turned around and saw that An Renyi's eyes looking at him were even more wrong, and he hurriedly explained to him that he had no intention of betraying.

Both of these are jackal-minded, rebellious, and they were quite jealous of the other party, so they were even more vigilant at this time.

Soon, the Suzhou cannon outside the city arrived, and Wang Maozhang saw that although An Renyi was wary of each other, he had no intention of surrendering, so he immediately ordered the trebuchet to fire.

After all, the inner city wall is not as strong as the outer city, and that night, with a roar, the city wall collapsed, and the Huainan soldiers swarmed in and completely occupied the inner city.

Although An Renyi and Zhang Hao were wolf ambitions, they were once fierce generals who were not afraid of death on the battlefield, but after all, after so many years of rich life, they had long lost the courage to commit suicide in their hearts.

Three days later, the two and their families were escorted to Guangling, where Yang Xingmi ordered them and their families to be beheaded.

At this point, Runzhou was completely pacified, and this huge rebellion was left with only Tian Yan still holding on.
