Chapter 345: Recovering Liaodong (7)
Genius remembered for a second, "Love โ รท small? Say โ', provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The generals didn't say anything, but they all knew that the troops in the city were also divided into factions, and it was common for them not to know each other. ใๆโๅปโณๅฐโ่ชชโณ็ถฒ Qu ใ
Yangyi can only command 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the departments are also because of their loyalty to Gongsun Du and spontaneously patrol the city, usually Gongsun Du is the head of the army, and the power does not dare to decentralize, which has caused the situation that once the people of the Gongsun family are not there, the various departments will go their own way, Zhang Ning also saw that there was no opportunity for unified leadership in the city, fished in troubled waters, and let a large number of soldiers disguise themselves as defenders to secretly enter the city.
The patrol stopped every distance to "check inside and out", and when the other patrols moved away, there were a few more people in the patrol. Later, after moving away from the actual defenders, the patrol was divided into two teams, one of which went down to the city to change shifts, and the other team continued.
The soldiers of the patrol who went down to the city in the "shift" disappeared, because there was no place for them in the barracks, after all, it was fake.
For several nights in a row, Zhang Ning successfully sent more than 1,000 soldiers to the city, and then lurked all over the city.
On the seventh night of October, it was cloudy.
Yang Yi turned around the city, that is, he went back to the house to rest, and suddenly heard a noise in the south of the city, he sat up in shock, and then climbed the courtyard wall to check, only to see the south gate of the city fire, and the noisy sound came from there.
The fire came suddenly, he realized that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the guards to sound the warning gong, and sent people to notify the battalions to be on guard, but it was too late, and more than 1,000 soldiers who infiltrated the city started a fierce battle with the defenders in the city gate cave.
After paying the price of more than 700 people killed in battle, he successfully controlled the south gate of Xiangping City, and then opened the city gate, and the "trapped camp" that had been waiting outside the city for a long time poured into Xiangping City.
The defenders in the city have gathered more than 10,000 people, and are rushing to the south gate of the city, rushing into the trap camp in the city to build a camp hundreds of meters inside the south gate of the city.
The counterattack in the city came extremely fiercely, and the first wave of more than 10,000 people fought with the trapped camp at any cost, sacrificing their lives with the trapped camp in the narrow streets and alleys inside the south gate of the city.
After all, the space of the city gate is limited, and the soldiers and horses rushing in outside the city are not smooth, and the 2,000 soldiers of the trapped camp who took the lead in building a defense face the defenders ten times their size, and they are not afraid to defend the line until the last person dies!
Fortunately, the follow-up trapped camp soldiers were added in time, and then they were not afraid of death to move forward, taking the tactics of attacking and defending, desperately not wanting their lives, and also rushing to the defenders' formation, these soldiers completely disrupted the formation of the defenders, although they all died in the chaos in the end, but they had successfully dragged the defenders and won time and space for the soldiers outside the city to enter the city.
The south gate of Xiangping City has been full of corpses, and the blood is flowing like a river, and the defenders who are trapped in the camp or counterattack have paid a heavy price.
At dawn, the trapped camp successfully expanded its defensive front after paying the price of more than 10,000 casualties, and Gao Shun and Zhang Ning commanded 60,000 soldiers and horses to fight into the city.
The trap camp is heavy infantry, and the field battle gathers combat strength, but it is not suitable for street fighting, so Gao Shun let the trap camp build a temporary position in the south city to ensure a firm foothold in Xiangping City.
The Yellow Turban Army, which originally belonged to Zhang Ning, was now under Jiang Sheng's Jizhou Army, and their bravery and combat power were suitable for street fighting.
Between the criss-crossing streets and alleys, Zhang Ningjun's soldiers and defenders started a fight, a team of ten, a team of 100, a team of 1,000 people, each team has an opponent, at this moment they have already killed red eyes, see each other, no need to command, pick up the weapon and go on.
Feeling the murderous aura and pressure in the city, the people hid at home and did not dare to go out, in their opinion, home is the safest place. This is also the luck of the people of Xiangping, the defenders will not harm them, and the army besieging the city is Jiang Sheng's benevolent and righteous army, and it will not harm the people, so no matter how they fight in the city, the people are in danger.
The fighting continued from midnight into night and still showed no signs of stopping.
When the soldiers on both sides were tired of killing, they both retreated and replaced them with another group of soldiers to continue fighting, and both armies were fighting a war of attrition on wheels, and no one gave in.
The street fighting lasted for three days and three nights, and the strong smell of blood enveloped the whole city.
Yang Yi saw that the general situation was gone, so he could only flee in disgrace, but was intercepted by Lu Yi's crossbowmen outside the city, and poor Yang Yi was shot into a hedgehog.
The battle in Xiangping City was finally over, and Gao Shun organized a large army to clean up the battlefield and count the number of people.
In the battle, more than 13,000 people were killed in the camp, Zhang Ning's army was killed more than 15,000 people, and more than 41,200 corpses of the defenders were collected, and there were no prisoners of war.
After all, Xiangping has been run by Gongsun Du for many years, and these defenders are also die-hard people, and they all fought to the last man, except for the seven or eight thousand people taken away by Yangyi, all of whom died in the city.
The seven or eight thousand people taken by Yangyi were not spared, and they were all annihilated by the crossbowmen of Lu Yi outside the city, and Xiangping, the largest city in eastern Liaodong, was thus included in Jiang Sheng's sphere of influence, and the daughters and dependents of the Gongsun family were all captured.
Gongsun Kang's wife had just given birth to a son, Gongsun Huang, and it was inconvenient to enter and exit, so Zhang Ning arranged for several female guards to guard it, and the rest were all under house arrest.
The news that Xiangping had been lost spread to Liaoyang and Xinchang was exciting for all the departments under Jiang Sheng's command, and for the Gongsun family, it was already a catastrophe.
When Gongsun Kang got the news, it was already a few days later, and nearly 30,000 of the 50,000 soldiers under his command were killed, and the rest surrendered.
After marching for more than ten days, the supply was interrupted, and the cavalry sent by Zhao Yun pursued, and the 50,000 troops walked and scattered, and when Gongsun Gong's department arrived at the coast, there were less than 20,000 people left.
The banner of the "Han Imperial Navy" is flying high, no need to guess, this must be Jiang Sheng's fleet, looking at the sea, only Jiang Sheng can make this formation.
Gongsun Gong hurriedly led the army to retreat, only to hear the sound of breaking through the air, and the stone bullets and arrows fired from the warship poured down overwhelmingly, giving Gongsun Gong's troops a small saturation attack. Now, it can only be surrendered, Gongsun Kang is worried about his wife and children, that is, he surrenders.
Gongsun Du saw that this was no longer interesting, so he simply gave up Liaoyang and killed himself in the city.
In fact, Jiang Sheng didn't mean to kill Gongsun Du, he just wanted to take over this territory, but he didn't expect Gongsun Du to end like this.
In fact, Gongsun Du has been running Liaodong for many years, recruiting talents, opening schools and schools, and recruiting displaced people, which has given Liaodong temporary peace in this troubled era, which is still good for the people, but it is the expansion of pioneering ambitions that provoked Jiang Sheng.
Now that Liaodong is peaceful, Jiang Sheng has also treated Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong well, and let them serve in Qingzhou and Jizhou respectively, which can be regarded as the luck of the Gongsun family. Reading, a better reading experience.
