"General...... It's not good, it's not good, the officers and troops have entered the city......"

Ren Jiguang is busy commanding his soldiers and horses to resist the attack of the officers and troops outside the city, it is too violent, these soldiers and horses under Cao Bianjiao are like chicken blood, desperate to rush to the city, their offensive is fierce and sharp, so that Ren Jiguang is very hard to garrison, but he can only insist, if he breathes a sigh of relief, then this battle, he will lose.

"What's going on?" Ren Jiguang pushed away the soldiers beside him and rushed to the blood-stained messenger, his face was very hideous, his eyes were about to jump out, and his eyes were split, this is what it looks like, so frightened that the soldier who finally killed and came back to report the news was also trembling. Ren Jiguang really couldn't believe that the fiercest battle happened on his side, although the situation was very difficult and the defense was very hard, but it was not yet the last moment, they could still hold it, and they didn't expect an accident.

The soldier was also trembling and stammered, "Yes...... Officers and soldiers, they suddenly attacked, we were short of men, they were killed on the city pass, there are more city gates, and now the north gate has been lost. ”

"Oh my God! King Chuang, I, Ren Jiguang, can't stand you! Ren Jiguang was also sad at the moment, Li Zicheng handed over such an important place to him, but what about him, led more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, and only held on for less than four hours, and was breached by the city defense, what kind of face did he have to see his old master Li Zicheng now.

When the subordinates saw this scene, they were all helpless, and one of them persuaded them: "General, the north gate has fallen, we have been difficult to hold, if we are trapped in the city by the official army, there is no point at all, we might as well retreat and return to Xiangyang, as long as Xiangyang is still in the hands of our army, after King Chuang breaks through Shanxi, we can also recover the lost territory!" ”

"Nope! I don't go, I'm ashamed of King Chuang, you go, take the brothers who can go and evacuate Jiangling immediately, I will stay and break the queen, and repay King Chuang's kindness with death! Ren Jiguang is very persistent, although he has not read many books, but his loyalty is very heavy, he feels that he has no face to face Li Zicheng, and he can only use this method to get rid of himself in order to get a better destination.

"General......

"Let's go, let's go!" Ren Jiguang also scolded them, urging them to evacuate immediately, otherwise when the other party's men and horses came up, they would really be served in this Jiangling City.

At this moment, Cao Bianjiao had also seen the signal sent by Cao Dingjiao, knowing that they had already succeeded, and he was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but exclaim: "Okay!" Soldiers, see, the Dashun army is not a divine soldier, our people have broken through their south gate, now is the time to attack from both sides, all the horses listen to the order, follow me into the city, and capture Jiangling! Those who resist will be killed! ”

"Kill... Kill... Under the instigation of Cao Bianjiao, the 20,000 or 30,000 horses and horses that the Chinese army had been waiting impatiently immediately stepped forward with great courage and high spirits, and launched a more frantic offensive, constantly attacking the gap in the south gate and breaking into the city.......

Cao Bianjiao is also personally on the battlefield, has not been on the battlefield for almost a year, he himself is a little itchy, at the moment is also holding a horse lance, the momentum is like a long rainbow through the sun, rushing to kill the past, Cao Bianjiao personally went into battle, making the siege soldiers more crazy impact, will be the courage of the three armies, Shuai is the soul of the three armies, with his soul, naturally can achieve better results, who does not want to show a hand in front of the boss, fight a good future.

Under the fierce attack of the official army, they entered the gap in one fell swoop, and at this moment above the city pass, there are not many soldiers and horses resisting, and the remaining men and horses are less than a thousand people, and the rest have been assembled to the * encirclement, they don't want to be wrapped dumplings, so the action is also very fast, after coming down from the city, the whole team immediately retreats eastward.

The reason why they chose to go east, first of all, is because the terrain is favorable, to the east is the Yunmengze area where Zechuan is all over the place, the officers and soldiers just want to pursue, and they can't completely let go of their hands and feet, and if they go east, if there is an accident and they can't go to Xiangyang, they can also withdraw to Hanchuan, which is also Ren Jiguang's last deployment.

"Kill ......" Ren Jiguang held a spear, and he was also constantly rushing to kill, blocking the offensive of the official army and blocking their speed of breaking the city, Cao Bianjiao saw this scene, and also went into battle in person, turned over and dismounted, and fought on foot to meet the enemy, the horse lance weighing about twenty or thirty pounds was dancing lightly in his hands like a burning stick, and the Dashun army that came up was killed, and soon, Cao Bianjiao also killed in front of Ren Jiguang.

"Come on, you've done what you had to do, work for me, how about it?"

"Dreaming!" Ren Jiguang faced Cao Bianjiao's surrender, but also directly refused, the spear shot at the same time, wanting to attack and kill Cao Bianjiao, how could Cao Bianjiao be defenseless, after so many years of fighting, although he did not experience it personally, but the feeling and experience in this memory were already his, and when Ren Jiguang made a move, he had already taken the lead.

Ren Jiguang's move was to use twelve points of strength, just to think of a surprise and kill Cao Bianjiao with one move, but how could Cao Bianjiao be so easy to deal with, Cao Bianjiao made a move, first opened the spear in Ren Jiguang's hand, and then made another move to provoke the stab, the sharp blade of the horse lance pierced into Ren Jiguang's shoulder blade, Cao Bianjiao didn't really want to kill him, seeing him so loyal and brave, he was quite appreciative.

Ren Jiguang failed in one move, and was severely injured by Cao Bianjiao, and it was also painful, he took a few steps back, he looked at the wound on his shoulder blade, and laughed, laughing so hideously and bleakly, and stood up tremblingly.

"Come down!"

Ren Jiguang sneered, the spear in his hand was discarded by him, he pulled out the saber at his waist, crossed his neck, and sighed to the sky: "King Chuang, the last general can no longer serve you!" As soon as he said that, he was killed, which was very unexpected by Cao Bianjiao, but he didn't expect that there would be such a loyal figure under Li Zicheng.

"Clear the remnants of the enemy in the city, and lead the army to occupy all the important places!" Cao Bianjiao also issued a military order at the moment, and the military horses entered the city in an orderly manner, cleaned up the battlefield, cleared the remnants of the enemy, and occupied the treasury.

At dusk, the whole Jiangling City was completely quiet, there was no rumbling sound of artillery fire, there was no shouting of swords and guns, everything was quiet, Jiangling City, which had been lost for more than half a year, was reclassified into the arms of the Ming Dynasty, this battle, Cao Bianjiao's losses were very small, but the consumption of armaments was huge, but everything was worth it, countless heavy grain and grass were captured, Li Zicheng's defense along the river was based on Jiangling, all the material deployment was sent from here, and now Cao Bianjiao was cheap in vain. There was not much gold and silver, but there was a lot of food, enough 200,000 stones, and there were also a lot of swords, guns, artillery and other armaments, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Dashun army were captured, and Cao Bianjiao's own loss was only 300 people, which can be described as a complete victory.

"General Cao has an order, all businessmen and people, everything is the same, the officers and men of the three armies, strictly abide by military discipline, and do not disturb the people, otherwise military law will be engaged, and the people in the city will abide by their duties, but those who take the opportunity to make trouble and spread rumors and demagoguery will be punished according to the crime of collaborating with the enemy...... "In the face of the sound of the gong, the people in Jiangling City also walked out of their homes one after another, and when they heard this order, they were also relieved.
