Chapter 56: Surprise from the Sky

The arrival of the Cangguo army, whether it was the generals of the Zheng army or the monarchs and ministers of the Shen State, was never expected.

After receiving Yang Mu's order, the six thousand army did not hesitate, shouted and shook the sky, and all of them killed the city.

Even, immersed in the battle in the city, Zheng Guo's soldiers thought it was their own army at first, until they got closer and found that their clothes and armor were different from the banners, and then they reacted.

Cangjun?

The faces of the Zheng soldiers turned pale, and they were shocked inexplicably.

How could the Cangguo army appear behind it?

Zheng Han, the second prince of Zheng Guo, who was about to ride his horse into the city, also heard this terrifying news - the Cangguo army appeared behind his own army like a ghost!

Zheng Han was shocked, wasn't the Cangguo army still in Anluo City in the morning?

Even if they were all galloping on horseback, they would not arrive at night at the earliest, so how could they suddenly fall from the sky and appear behind the besieging army?

He subconsciously looked around, there were only a few hundred guards beside him, and eighty percent of the army under his command had already entered the city, and the number of people who could immediately return to help did not exceed three thousand.

And the approaching Cangguo army, one by one, is as high as a rainbow, without the fatigue of rushing, looking from afar all over the mountains and fields, swarming.

This is a very ingenious timing, half an hour early is too early, half an hour later is too late, this is no longer a simple matter of front and back, at this time Zheng Guo's army is burning and looting in the city, like a plate of scattered sand, and it is impossible to gather and command in a short period of time!

If this continues, the Zheng army will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by this Cangguo army!

In just a moment's effort, the Cang army rushed all the way and approached Shencheng.

In the face of this huge tide of Cangjun troops, Zheng Guo's soldiers, who had already been frightened, were not vulnerable at all, and after only a short contact, they were defeated and fled in all directions.

Finished......

In the distance, Zheng Han was discouraged, a moment ago he was still full of pride, full of ambition, the emperor's hegemony was at his fingertips, but he didn't expect that all this was like a dream bubble, and it was broken with a light touch of his hand.

Gritting his teeth, Zheng Han was still unwilling, and shouted angrily: "Spread the soldiers in the city, organize a counterattack immediately!" โ€

"Yes!"

The heralds were also trembling, their faces turned pale, and the soldiers on the side blew their horns and gave the signal to rally.

Immediately, the Zheng Guo soldiers in the city all learned the news and were shocked.

Some of the soldiers who were still immersed in the thrill of burning, killing and looting looked incredulous.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not trustworthy?

But so what, it has always been the case in wars and sieges, after the city is broken, the soldiers can do whatever they want, this is a reward, even the second prince can't break the rules.

It should be robbed and robbed, it should be lewd and continued to be lewd, and it should be burned and continued to burn, no matter how much!

But soon, a news spread - the reinforcements of Cangguo have arrived!

The soldiers who heard the news were so frightened that they could no longer care about looting and lewdness, so they hurriedly gathered on the street and went straight to the gate of the city.

I have to say that the timing of the appearance of the Cangguo army was too ingenious, after setting off from Anluo City in the morning, Yang Mu did not rush according to the usual way of marching, but through interrogation of Chen Shou and other senior generals, he learned that the river on the side of the grain hoarding led directly to Shencheng, and it was not far from the Zheng army's station.

So, a whole 6,000 troops, together on a large grain ship, and then rented some peasant fishing boats and boats along the coast, all the way down the river, and arrived at the edge of Shencheng in just two hours!

Arrived just in time for the Zheng army to break through Shencheng, and effortlessly routed the Zheng army outside the city.

Seeing that the Zheng army that had already entered the city was quickly assembled, Yang Mu frowned: "Pass the order, General Wei Zhongquan will lead 3,000 people to enter Shencheng, and the rest will not move outside the city and meet the Zheng army in a roundabout way!" โ€

"Yes!"

The heralds on both sides galloped away, and the heralds went everywhere.

A moment later, the 6,000 Cang soldiers who rushed to Shencheng were divided into two, one of them rushed into the city, and some of them took a detour in place, setting up a formation to meet the Zheng army rushing out of the city.

The two armies met together, and the thousands of troops that the Zheng army had finally assembled were killed and retreated.

The decline in morale is certainly one thing, after all, no one in the Zheng army thought that the Cangguo army would come to the rescue so coincidentally, so that all the Zheng soldiers were stunned and had no fighting spirit.

And the other point, that is the gap in bravery.

Since the implementation of the meritorious lord system, the morale of the Cangguo army has risen greatly, and the soldiers are no longer fighting for the sake of fighting, but also for honor, for the sake of interests, uniting and cooperating with each other, and the will to kill the enemy is high.

After a quarter of an hour of fighting, the Cangguo army had an overwhelming advantage.

"Poofโ€”"

"Ahh

The screams of Zheng Guo's soldiers came and went, which shocked Zheng Han, who was watching the battle from afar.

Cangguo army, is it already so terrifying?

The tide is over......

Zheng Han gritted his teeth, his face was unwilling, and although he felt a pain in his heart, he still endured and gave the order to retreat.

Suddenly, the soldiers of Zheng who heard the order were like being amnestied, and immediately retreated from the fighting, and there were also soldiers in Shencheng who came out one after another, and a large part of them were intercepted by the soldiers of Cangguo and stopped at the gate of the city to annihilate.

"It's a pity that it was still run away." In the distance, Yang Mu showed a look of regret on his face, and at least 3,000 people were able to escape from Zheng Jun's withdrawal.

Of course, Yang Mu didn't dare to send troops to chase after him, after all, the enemy had been rooted in this area for nearly ten days, and everything was very familiar, if there were still ambushes anywhere, it would be terrible.

So, he gave an order for all his soldiers to stop the pursuit and garrison a mile outside the city to prevent the Zheng army from returning.

At the same time, in Shencheng, Zheng Guo's soldiers began to be at a loss one by one.

Either they advanced too fast and did not have time to retreat, or they were too greedy and did not obey the order, lost the best opportunity to retreat, and were all blocked in the city at once, unable to find the direction of retreat.

During this period, because the Cangguo army has been waving the flag of Cangguo and chanting the slogan of reinforcements, the soldiers of Shen Guo encountered along the way have also joined the ranks of the Cangguo army.

After Yang Mu led his guards into the city, he was really frightened.

The city, the streets and alleys, the corpses are littered, the elderly, children, women, and all kinds of miserable conditions...... Civilians are even more dead than soldiers!

How is this evil deed different from that of animals?

He was angry and gave an order - if he encounters Zheng Jun, he will be killed!

And the soldiers of Cangguo, who have been brainwashed through education and singing these days, have planted the seeds of misfortune in their hearts to the civilians, and when they saw this tragic scene, the sense of superiority in their hearts suddenly burst out, and they were filled with righteous indignation, eager to cut the Zheng army in the city with a thousand knives.

Originally, I thought that His Majesty the Emperor would persuade the enemy troops who were going to a dead end to surrender as usual, but I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would be even more straightforward than ordinary soldiers, and directly issued an order to kill!

Justice and military merit are both correct!

"Kill!"

Groups of Cangjun roared into the streets and alleys, killing all the Zheng Guo soldiers they encountered along the way.

"Bang!" Thousands of people kicked Qu Yong open the door of a house.

I saw that in the room, two Zheng soldiers were bare-chested, and their smiles were frozen on their faces.

And on the bed in the house, there was also a Han soldier who was wearing nothing, insulting a crying woman.

"Damn it!"

With an angry scolding, Qu Yong stepped forward, pulled out the short knife in his crotch, and hacked several Zheng soldiers to death one by one.

Looking at the woman again, seeing the other party wrapped in the futon with a frightened face, and shrinking in the corner with tears on his face, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and walked forward and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, my Cangguo army has arrived, and you are safe......"

"Cangguo Army ......"

The girl in her arms looked dazed, and then sobbed lowly.

Seeing this, Qu Yong put her down on the bed, covered her with the futon, and then walked out of the room and went to another place.

On the way, as long as he met Zheng Guo's soldiers, he would cut them down to the ground without saying a word.

The four thousand Cangguo soldiers and the five thousand Shen Guo soldiers cooperated, and the alleys were cleaned up one by one, and soon the shouting and killing in the city stopped.

At the same time, Yang Mu led three hundred guards all the way from the main street to the gate of the palace.

But immediately, he was stunned.

I saw Emperor Shen wearing a dragon robe, hundreds of civil and military officials, concubines and princesses, all standing at the gate of the palace excitedly!
