Chapter 55: (Unpredictable)
(Ba County, in Yongcheng, thirty miles away from Yongcheng)
"Big brother, there is Yongcheng in front, we can't fight..."
Zhang Xiao rode on the horse, without the slightest consideration, and shook his head directly: "It's important to save my father first, this small county in Yongcheng, when the time comes, I will come to settle accounts with Zhang Tao, send orders to the army, and accelerate forward..."
(CD Zhang Zhongfu inside)
"What should I do?"
"Childe is on his way back to the CD, and the army is coming, I might as well go into the prison first and rescue the lord, which can be regarded as a great achievement for us..."
"Good..."
At the moment, it was just dark, Zhang Zhong's nearly thirty men in civilian clothes approached the prison of the Bashu Kingdom in the south of the CD city, and after a surprise attack, they killed eleven jailers, and successfully rescued Zhang Zhong without alarming the soldiers patrolling the city, and went straight back to Zhang Zhong's mansion...
"Lord, I'm too late for rescue, and I ask my lord to forgive my sins..."
Zhang Zhong patted the person who spoke: "Well done, after the matter is finished, reward you a lot..."
"My lord, the eldest prince has led a large army to come back to help, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach CD City before midnight tonight..."
Zhang Zhong took out the talisman from the hall and handed it to the man: "Take the talisman, immediately go to the city patrol government office, order them to open the city gate, if there is any disobedience, you will be killed..."
"No..."
"Wait..."Zhang Zhong stopped the man, and then said: "Go to the East Gate School to pass my order, and order my soldiers to assemble as a team..."
"No..."
At three o'clock, under Zhang Zhong's advance deployment, the east gate of CD City was completely opened, Zhang Xiao's three thousand vanguard cavalry rushed into the city first, the people in the city had not seen such a scene, they rushed to escape, the CD City that was originally lively and did not close the door at night fell into a panic, the city gate defenders did not make any resistance to it because they learned the news in advance, Zhang Xiao's follow-up army also followed after the vanguard army entered the city for an hour...
Zhang Xiao and his father Zhang Zhong joined forces, with a vanguard army of 7,000 people, attacking the gate of Shuchun Palace where Hong Xiu was located, and Hong Xiu's forbidden army troops put up desperate resistance, and the two sides were fighting fiercely at the palace gate...
Hong Xiu's pro-army guard general Yuwen CD hurriedly reported to Hong Xiu, who was resting, at this time, and mobilized all the forbidden troops to fight fiercely with Zhang Zhong's father and son at the gate of Shuchun Palace...
After learning about the battle at the gate of Shuchun Palace, Chen Mengcheng, the general of the city patrol, hurriedly ran to the city gate to take a look, the east gate was wide open, and the soldiers defending the city were all vying to look in the direction of Shuchun Palace at the edge of the city, wondering what was going on...
"What the hell is going on?"
Chen Mengcheng sat on his horse and asked sharply, and the general on duty at the east gate replied: "General Qiyu, the general sent someone to give an order an hour ago to open the east gate, and then he saw General Zhang rushing into the city with cavalry, so he didn't dare to stop it..."
"Which General Zhang?"
"The son of the general, the commander Zhang Xiao..."
"Zhang Xiao..."Chen Mengcheng is not a fool, he knows what Zhang Xiao's return means, Zhang Zhong was imprisoned during the day, and Zhang Xiao came back with people at night, and the palace gate was shouting and killing at the sky, their intentions were already obvious: "All the soldiers listened to the order, the whole army immediately gathered, blocked the four gates, no one can open the city gate without my order, Vice General Liu, gather the people of Nanying, and follow me to the palace gate to support... Vice General Chen, gather the men and horses of the Beiying, scatter the four gates, and be ready to resist the enemy at any time..."
"No..."
(Inside Shuchun Palace)
Hong Xiu was anxiously wandering in the hall, Yuwen CD ran into the hall with a bloody face, knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the rebel attack is fierce, and our soldiers are powerless to resist the enemy, please prepare for a breakthrough..."
"Presumptuous..."Hong Xiu scolded loudly, then turned to look at the eunuch beside him, and shouted, "Go and get my armor immediately..."
"No..."
After all, Hong Xiu is also one of the eight kings, and he has also experienced a hundred battles, and this situation at this moment also makes him have to put on his battle armor again: "General Yuwen, lead the way ahead, I will personally go to meet them for a while..."
(Miyamon Castle Tower)
Under the cover of the shield of the pro-army guards, Hong Xiu stood on the tower of Shuchun Palace, looked at Zhang Zhong on the horse in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, so he got up and scolded: "Zhang Zhong, I treat you well, why is this so?" ”
"Hong Xiu Lao'er, you are not worthy of being the emperor of Bashu at all, if you abdicate now and make way for Xian, I can let you live..."
In the face of Zhang Zhong's provocation, Hong Xiu was also in his way, angry, watching Chen Mengcheng's men and horses arrive in the distance, he ordered Yuwen CD to open the palace gate, and rushed into the enemy formation with three thousand forbidden troops, fighting with them, and he stood on the city tower and watched the battle...
Due to the addition of Chen Mengcheng, Zhang Zhong's father and son, who were still dominant, fell into a passive situation, and the father and son had to fight with them in person, and there were nearly 10,000 people in Hongxiu, and Zhang Zhong was not an opponent in terms of numbers...
On this side of the city gate, Chen Mengcheng, the deputy general Chen Ran, who had just closed the city gate, saw that there was a fire not far outside the city, he stood on the city tower and looked at it carefully, and secretly wondered in his heart, suddenly an arrow flew from the night, shot directly into his neck, and suddenly the blood flowed like an infusion, and he fell to the ground, and the sergeants next to him were so frightened that they didn't know what was going on, and they could only be temporarily commanded by the captains of each battalion.
CD City is now an empty city, the army of the north and south battalions of the city is only 15,000 people together, including 5,000 in the south camp, 10,000 in the north camp, scattered in four gates, now there are only 3,000 soldiers at the east gate, suddenly its flying arrows, so that these soldiers can parry, the timid have abandoned the city and run away, and the loyal will fight to the end, in the end, the east gate fell under the fierce offensive of Zhang Lin's army, Zhang Lin took the army directly towards the gate of Shuchun Palace...
"Father, look..."Zhang Xiao pointed to Zhang Lin who was running towards them not far away, and shouted excitedly: "The second brother is here..."
Zhang Zhong waved his knife and shouted: "All the soldiers, the reinforcements have arrived, kill me, whoever can get the head of Hong Xiu, I will give him the title of prime minister..."
"Kill..."
Hong Xiu, who was standing on the city tower, was shocked, Zhang Lin's army was a return that he never expected, so the whole battle situation became Zhang Zhong's overwhelming victory, Yuwen CD pulled Hong Xiu, under the cover of Chen Mengcheng, with less than 100 guards rushed to the direction of the city gate...
"Command the soldiers, close the city gates, catch Hong Xiu, and worship the marquis..."
"No..."
"Drink...", "poof...", "ah...", "bang..."" (the sound of killing, vomiting blood, wailing, and the sound of weapons clashing one after another)
Hong Xiu and his party rushed to the east city gate, which had become Zhang Zhong's sphere of influence, and all the soldiers standing on the city gate tower were Zhang Zhong's soldiers...
Yuwen CD escorted Hong Xiu, rode over to the city gate, saw the closed city gate, and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate..."
The commander and general on the city tower recognized Hong Xiu, but he was also afraid that his general would blame, and he didn't know what to do, so he heard Chen Mengcheng shouting towards the city tower: "Brother above, this is the emperor, hurry up and open the city gate and let us go out..."
"Can it be opened?"
"I don't know, if it's opened, the general will blame, and we will all have to die..."
"You two, this is the emperor, the general is rebelling by doing this..."
"Forget it, I have been under General Chen before, even if I don't open the door to the emperor, I have to open the door to General Chen, open it, I will bear it alone..."
A few soldiers guarding the gate by the city gate were talking, although they didn't know what to do, but after all, they were also people with a conscience, and they didn't care so much, so they opened the city gate directly, and the sergeants by the gate also made way for this...
Seeing this, Yuwen CD slapped the horse's buttocks vigorously, and drove the horse to escort Hong Xiu to run out of the city...
"Whoosh...", Hong Xiu's back was hit by an arrow, everyone was running desperately, and no one knew who the arrow hit, after leaving the city, Yuwen CD and Chen Mengcheng with the entourage of guards were only a dozen people, heading towards the city, the defender of the city was Chen Mengcheng's brother - Chen Sicheng...
