Chapter 305: Taking Jingzhou at Night

Not long after the order to close the four cities was issued, a large number of people and horses of the Song army swaggered to the outside of Jingzhou City, and camped in the southeast and southeast directions, as if they were about to do a big job. （）

Wuliji's Yuan army gathered in the southwest garrison, and this time it was inevitable that they would be scattered to garrison everywhere, and hundreds of Yuan soldiers should be assigned to each city gate to take care of them carefully, for fear that something would change at this critical time.

As a result, half of the soldiers of the Yuan army left their horses, and together with these Han troops who were not resolute in their fighting spirits, they defended these crucial city gates, and many strange Han faces had appeared around them without being noticed.

Chen Yijie's men were scattered everywhere, responsible for guiding and marking the Yuan army in key positions, as well as those who were determined to go all the way with the Yuan Dynasty. The artillery of the firearms battalion aimed at the gate of the Yuan army barracks in the southwest of the city, and at a critical time, blocked the passage for the Yuan army to enter and exit the garrison, so as to buy time for the Song army to prepare for the move.

At midnight on the second day when the Song army arrived in Jingzhou outside the city, Chen Yijie got up in hand, and started to work together in Jingzhou, and it took only a short time to open the east gate.

Outside the city, the Song army has been recuperating for several days, and they have been waiting for a long time in a hurry, almost before the other city gates have yet to react, Chen Longfu led the army into the city and directly killed the southwest Yuan army camp.

Chen Yijie is cautious and sophisticated, all possible accidents have been considered and prevented, the East City Gate, which has the most manpower, and the hundreds of Yuan troops stationed in it have not had time to resist, they were killed by the Song army that has been staring at them.

The generals and officials in the city who favored the Yuan army lost their heads at night, and their subordinates had the intention to resist, but it was useless, and the battle in the city was tense and orderly, and the Yuan army that swept the city gate one by one, and then assigned people to take over the occupation.

"Knock knock!"

Several successive cannon shots spread in the southwest of the city, and the people who were awakened by the sound of cannons lit the lights in their homes one after another, and boldly began to walk out of their homes to the street, and found neatly uniformed Song soldiers.

"Oops! This is coming, it's really a heavenly soldier descending to earth! ”

"The Yuan army is in the southwest of the city, do you know the road? I'll take you there! ”

"Yes, yes, it's all over there, and their horse farms and warehouses, hurry up, don't let them run!"

The people who led the way spontaneously couldn't be happy, and the soldiers of the Song Army who were deployed on the street had to comfort the people, telling them that the Yuan army had been surrounded, and none of them could escape, so they asked the people to sleep in peace and wait until dawn tomorrow to come out.

Nearly 5,000 Yuan soldiers were trapped in the garrison, and Uliji, who woke up from his sleep, felt desperate and organized several breakout operations, but was blown back by the sub-mother cannon erected outside the barracks. The current soldiers of the Yuan Army, as soon as they heard the sound of the cannon, lost their souls, and the soldiers who were fearless in life and death in the past are simply not alone, but no matter how they complain at this time, these Yuan soldiers have no possibility of escaping.

The continuous fighting continued until dawn, and the entire Yuan army garrison had been occupied by the Song army, and the corpses of the Yuan army killed in the battle were scattered all over the camp, with only a few hundred people, and they were still protecting Wuliji to hold a warehouse.

Chen Longfu is very excited and cautious, the front is advancing a little bit, he would rather be slower than aggressive, this is what he learned when he got along with Zhao Tianyou, when you can't control the situation, you must calm down as much as possible, don't let your mind be occupied by some temporary thoughts, but should move towards the goal step by step.

Although he has been in the army for more than ten years and has fought countless battles, it is the first time that it has gone so smoothly and it is he who has won the fruits of victory. He should enjoy and remember this process, and remember how it came about, it was because of Zhao Tianyou in Suizhou that he had such an opportunity to leave his name in Jingzhou.

Hundreds of Yuan troops hid in the warehouse, shooting arrows at the approaching Song army, but under the protection of the Song army's shield hand, the arrows shot by the Yuan army were basically taken away by the shield.

"Push the cannon in, blow them up directly, and don't leave any of them behind!"

Chen Longfu gave his final order, he had planned how to end the battle, kill the recalcitrant Yuan army, and then get out of the warehouse and press them to the ground to be beheaded by him Chen Longfu. Such an effect is recorded in the state annals and history books, which will have a very good gimmick, and it will also add a little power to the children and grandchildren who will come from the family to tell the past of the ancestors.

But then he suddenly came to his senses, the smallest price and the fastest end is the essence of this battle, hand-to-hand combat to win the Yuan army is heroic, but there will be many ordinary soldiers killed and wounded. If it was Zhao Tianyou, he would definitely use the cannon to do it directly, and would not let the ordinary soldiers shed blood and sacrifice, Chen Longfu was bored, and immediately ordered the cannon to be transferred in.

Uligi stood in the treasury in a daze, and the soldiers who followed him were also desperate, at this time everyone knew that life was over, except to surrender on their knees, there was only the freedom to choose their own death or let people kill.

Is all Uligi thinking about surrendering, or is he swearing to resist? He knew that after surrendering, he might still be dead after being humiliated endlessly, but he still had an illusion about the glimmer of life. He used to be a brave soldier, fighting bravely without fear of life and death, so that he could stand out among ordinary soldiers, and rose step by step from a centurion to a centurion, and only then did he become a general of ten thousand men in charge of a city.

But he didn't expect that after the glory, he would be pampered for more days, and he became particularly afraid of death, especially afraid of losing all the fruits in front of him.

"General, the Song army outside, pushed the cannon!"

His voice was already trembling, and he saw the desperate scene through the window, and a personal soldier came to Uliji's side and told him the suffocating bad news.

"Really!"

A cool breath came out of Uligi's back, is this the end of it?

"Yes......"

A few cannon shots connected outside, a short distance of straight shooting, shells came in through the window or door, and more than a dozen people were killed before they exploded, and then exploded in the crowd, causing a bloody storm.

As soon as Uligi was about to open his mouth and shout, we were about to put down our swords and surrender, but they were drowned out by the sound of continuous explosions, and shrapnel shot in all directions in the warehouse, and there was nowhere to hide in the small space of hundreds of people.

"Surrender, I want to surrender, hurry up and shout to the outside world, just say we want to surrender!"

The roaring cannon body shattered the last dignity of Uliji, so why lower your head in order to survive, it is still important to live! The soldiers around him have fallen, and no one is listening to his orders, and they are all looking for a place to hide.

"I ......"

Uligi rushed to the window, and as soon as he shouted the word "I", a flying cannonball overturned the skull, and red and white splashed all over the ground.
