Sun An led his troops to dismount and go up the city wall along the horse road at the south gate, and there were a large number of defenders on the city wall, and fierce battles were inevitable.

Shi Bao led the troops to clean up the stones in the South Gate Cave, Shi Bao said: "Order the whole army to strictly prohibit indiscriminate killing, mobilize troops to move stones, and open the city gate quickly." ”

"Yes." The surrendered soldiers and dismounted cavalry carried stones, and there were a lot of stones in the city gate hole, but they could not stand the large number of people, and the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the city gate was opened. The herald waved the torch outside with a torch to relay the signal.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the south of the city, and groups of cavalry swarmed in, and the first tower-like man rode a black horse and carried a mace in his hand, it was Qin Ming.

Qin Ming saw Shi Bao and sighed: "Just listening to the shouts of killing in the city, we can't get in in a hurry,"

Shi Bao said: "It is not so easy to kill from the West Gate to the South Gate, especially the West Gate, the resistance is very fierce, and the blood of the fight is like a river. The south gate is a good point, all of them are recruits, and most of them have surrendered. The city tower was still resisting, and Sun An led people up. ”

Qin Ming turned over and dismounted, carrying a mace and shouting: "Follow me to the city, support Sun An, and clear the south gate." ”

With the arrival of Qin Ming, the fighting spirit of the defenders on the south gate has been defeated, and Fang Shun, the guard of the south gate, saw that the general trend was gone, drew out the sword he carried with him, and shouted: "General, it's not that Fang Shun doesn't do his best, nothing can be done, Fang Shun goes first." He was about to wipe his neck, and suddenly there was a bang, and Sun An's big sword flew away from Fang Shun's sword.

Sun An said: "Take it away and wait for it to fall." ”

The guards were captured, and the south gate was completely controlled by the Jeju army. It was followed by Chao Gai, Zhu Wu, and Luo Ping leading the Chinese army into the city, and then the 5,000 infantry battalion led by Wu Song. Gongsun Sheng and 20,000 construction corps, Li Kui stayed in the camp.

Chao Gai said: "Order all battalions of cavalry to clear the remnants of the enemy in the city, and at the same time clean up military discipline, and it is strictly forbidden to harass the people and rob the shops." ”

"Yes." A dozen heralds went down to give the order.

Chao Gai said: "Master Zhu, under hard work, led 500 Chinese troops to patrol along the streets and strictly investigate military discipline, but those who violated it will be arrested. ”

"Okay, Governor, let's go." Zhu Wu led the people to patrol.

Chao Gai rushed to the palace with more than 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, and the battle here was very fierce at this time.

Shi Bao, Sun An's cavalry surrounded the government group, it turned out that this was the Yangquan prefect's yamen, and later An Shirong came to change this place to the general's mansion. An Shirong vomited blood from last night and was taken back to the government by his own soldiers to recuperate. Unexpectedly, the Jeju army entered the city just after midnight. At first, Ellon was able to give orders, but then it didn't work.

"General, let's take advantage of the chaos, it's too late to go."

An Shirong shook his head: "Where to run, now there are cavalry of the Jeju Army all around." It's me who they're going to arrest, so let's go, change into the clothes of the common people, and go. ”

Where are the soldiers willing to go, they said with tears: "The general treats me like a mountain, and now that the general is dying, how can we live alone and fight to the end." ”

Outside the palace, Sun Anbu attacked the gate, Shibao attacked the backyard, because the defenders have a geographical advantage and a strong bow, the cavalry does not have an advantage, back and forth to shoot arrows, the two sides shoot each other, and play a half-catty and eight taels, after all, the cavalry is not good at attacking fortifications, and the configuration is not good.

At this time, Chao Gai led the large army to arrive, and said: "Battalion Commander Sun, Battalion Commander Shi is working hard, let's withdraw first, let the infantry go up." ”

These two people fought hard, and the cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but they were very distressed, but fortunately they withdrew first.

Wu Song waved the Mo knife in his hand, and the infantry holding the big shield slowly moved forward, and the bow and arrow in the palace shot over and nailed to the big shield, and could not hurt the people behind at all. Two black-hole red-coated cannons were also pulled over, and they were methodically reloading ammunition a few hundred meters away.

An officer held an iron horn and shouted, "Governor Chao Du invites General An to come and speak." ”

An Shirong listened inside, came to the head of the palace wall, with vicissitudes and helplessness on his face, and hugged his fists: "Chao Dudu, you won, I didn't expect to enter the city so soon, and the rolling wood and stones prepared on the upper floor of my city are useless." ”

Chao Gai said: "A gentleman should do something and not do something." Now that the army is defeated, our Jeju army is not a barbarian foreigner, so why bother fighting to the death, why not come out and surrender to Cheng and stabilize the people of the city as soon as possible. ”

An Shirong sighed: "After I die, I hope that the governor of Chao Du can treat these soldiers well, and can be incorporated and co-ordiated, and those who cannot be co-opted will be assigned to work, in short, give a way to live." ”

Chao Gai nodded: "I, Chao Gai, don't have the habit of killing prisoners, General An can rest assured." Everyone obeyed the order, laid down their arms, and surrendered to the Jeju army. ”

Although the soldiers were unwilling, they understood that it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out by two or three hundred people.

An Shirong was relieved, waved the long sword in his hand, and wanted to wipe his neck, he was a general, he had the dignity of a general, the soldier could surrender, it was nothing more than a change of place to get military salary, he was unwilling, all of them had to commit suicide.

At this critical moment, there was a sudden crisp sound, and An Shirong's long sword shook and fell to the ground, and it turned out that Chao Gai saw the situation and shot an arrow urgently.

Chao Gai said: "I want to have a good time with General An." ”

The government is still the same government, it was still An Shirong's general's mansion just now, and in a blink of an eye, it became Chao Gai's governor's mansion. An Shirong is also a man who can afford to put it down, if he doesn't die, he won't die, and followed Chao Gai to the living room. Chao Gai said: "General An, don't worry, I have already arranged, there will be dozens of heads on the city wall in a while, and the rebel An Shirong and his generals swore to resist the imperial court to the death and were beheaded for public display." ”

An Shirong didn't speak, Chao Gai did this to save him enough face in Tian Hu's army, but it was not good for the next battle.

Chao Gai continued: "General An, I have also been tired for several days, and now that the overall situation on the street has been decided, I can also drink a few glasses of wine with peace of mind." General An, don't worry, I have already sent someone to pick you up from Weisheng's family, and you will be able to reach Yangquan City tomorrow at the latest. ”

As soon as he heard this, An Shirong put down his wine glass, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly: "The governor treats me so well, An Shirong should have been smeared with liver and brain, and he should have done the work of dogs and horses." But Tian Hu helped me in my most difficult time, and I had the grace of knowing me, although I surrendered, but I did not want to be an enemy of Tian Hu, and hoped that the governor could be fulfilled. ”

Chao Gai said: "Okay, I won't embarrass General An, as soon as the family arrives, I will send you back to Jeju first, and then arrange a position for you, but I will definitely not fight against Tian Hujun." As I said, Ellsglory has been decapitated. ”

Ahn Shirong expressed his understanding that the Jeju Army could not represent the imperial court with full powers, and as a repeat offender of the rebellion, it did not mean that it could be surrendered.

Chao Gai couldn't stay with An Shirong for too long, drank a few glasses of wine, calmed their emotions, and immediately led the Horse Guards to the street.
