Chapter 314: The Expedition of the State of Chu VII
Chapter 314: (Chu State Expedition VII)
On the fourth day of October in the second year of Fengtian, thirty miles outside Shouchun, the capital of Chu
After ten days of rapid marching, Shangguan Yin Feng led his army to the outside of Shouchun City, stationed himself in a village, and scattered hundreds of scouts to listen to the news.
At this moment, in the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals under Shangguan Yin Feng are arguing over who can be the main siege force of Shouchun this time, although Shangguan Yin Feng previously explicitly forbade not to fight for merit, but now it seems that the generals can compete for merit proves to be a good thing, and the rise in combat effectiveness makes this group of people particularly active in front of every battle.
"Lord Wang, the last general only needs to lead the army and horses of his headquarters to take Shouchun, and please give this opportunity..."Cao Zhen stood in line in the space where the generals were resting, and said loudly.
There are 6,000 cavalry in the vanguard battalion under his command, all of whom are elite knights, and now the annihilation of 150,000 Chu troops in the Battle of Dangshan makes Cao Zhen look down on the Chu army in Shouchun City even more, and Yang Yin and these people can't get into his eyes at all.
Shangguan Yin Feng turned his back to the generals, carefully looked at the map around Shouchun, then turned around, looked at the generals in the tent, and said with a smile: "This Shouchun City, it can be broken in one day, but this king is a person who keeps his promises, and he still takes what he said before to heart, and orders Fan Chong and Xiao An to lead the headquarters of the army and horses as the main attack force to attack the north gate of Shouchun, Nangong Xiu and Nangong Bi lead the army to attack the east gate of Shouchun, Li Yanqing He Qing leads the army to attack the west gate of Shouchun, Cao Zhen, you and Song Shixiu lead the cavalry of the headquarters to surround the south gate of Shouchun, Prevent Liu Penzi from escaping. Shangguan Yin Feng pointed to the map and said: "Our army is several times the strength of the Chu army, forming a comprehensive encirclement of Shouchun is a trivial matter, this time it is to sit and fight the beast, you all listen to the king, the Chu army surrendered, all surrendered, those who are unwilling to surrender, kill on the spot, as for the Chu Palace, which of you first surround the Chu Palace, after the war, the king personally toasted him a glass of wine." ”
"No..."
"Huang Botao, you go out of the Shenji Battalion, choose a high ground at the north gate, prepare the Shenwu cannon for this king, and bombard Shouchun first..."
"No..."
At this moment, in Shouchun City, there is a piece of chickens and dogs, all the houses have been closed, the people running on the street are the Chu army, the soldiers of the Cheng Dynasty surrounded the four gates, leaving no way out, and just now, the original general Fan Chong appeared at the north gate to persuade him to surrender, and as a result, he met Yang Yin, and a fierce war of words broke out between the two sides, and finally it was over.
The siege troops of the front army were ready, Shangguan Yin Feng led the army behind Fan Chong, standing in Huang Botao's Shenji camp, Huang Long looked puzzled, and immediately asked: "Lord Wang, there is something unknown to my subordinates, please ask Lord Wang to see me." ”
Shangguan Yin Feng of course knew what Huang Long wanted to ask, so he said: "Shouchun City is not so easy to fight this time, if we attack strongly, it will make Yang Yingou jump off the wall in a hurry, for such a sure thing, why waste the lives of the soldiers, with Fan Chong and Xiao An in front, what do you have to worry about?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Huang Long and said with a smile: "Worried that the credit will be robbed by the demote?" ”
Huang Long was broken by Shangguan Yin Fengdao's thoughts, and he was frightened, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates are guilty, and I ask the prince to punish him..."
Shangguan Yin Feng waved his hand: "There is no need to punish them, they are all Chu troops, now it is the personal grudge of Fan Chong and Yang Yin, it is not so time for our army to mix too much, when they are almost done in the city, let's attack again, as for this Shenwu cannon, let's blast the city gate open first..."
Huang Botao was beside Shangguan Yin Feng, and after receiving the guidance of Shangguan Yin Feng's eyes, he stepped forward to the position of the cannon with his fists and shouted: "Load the shell..."
"Put..."
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
Several muffled sounds, even frightened Fan Chong in front, they had only heard of the Shenwu cannon, they had never seen it at all, and when they heard this cannon sound at close range today, they couldn't help but tremble, and even thought in their hearts, fortunately they surrendered Shangguan Yin Feng, otherwise they would be hit by this cannonball, and they would be annihilated in an instant.
"No wonder Yuan Jingchu's Beiping City is so vulnerable..."Xiao An looked at the Shouchun City Gate and the Urn City Tower, which were collapsed by the Shenwu cannon, and muttered in his mouth.
"Brothers, follow me in, kill Yang Yin, kill..."
"Kill...."
The shouting sound sounded, after seeing the Shouchun City Gate collapsed by the Shenwu cannon, Fan Chong rushed towards Shouchun first, now he is not worried about whether the 10,000 soldiers under his command are Yang Yin's opponents, the key is that behind him is Shangguan Yin Feng's army, Shouchun is determined to win, and it is good to kill Yang Yin and avenge Shangguan Yin Feng is also a vote, and it is also a credit to say carefully.
Looking at Fan Chong, who had already launched a charge, Shangguan Yin Feng smiled and said with his finger: "Look, how hard they work, Shouchun City will take it, if he doesn't die, this king is really reluctant to kill him." By the way, this king heard that there are many beauties in Liu Penzi's palace, so I really want to take a good look at it when the time comes..."
Huang Long also showed a smile when he heard this, he himself knew what kind of person he was as a lord, and everyone knew that he liked women, but he didn't dare to say too much.
Yang Yin heard that the city gate was broken in the palace of the king of Chu, so he hurried to the north gate with people, he knew what Shouchun was facing now, and there was a way out only by fighting to the death, but he himself was still amazed that Shouchun City was really broken in one day, and it could not be defended less than an hour after the soldiers of the Cheng Dynasty came to the city.
As soon as the Shenwu cannon sounded, in addition to Cao Zhen at the South Gate, Li Yanqing and Nangong Xiu ordered an attack on Shouchun at the same time.
After an hour or so of fighting from Fan Chong's rush into the north gate of Shouchun City, Shangguan Yin Feng ordered Fan Wenhui and Zang Wan to lead the army to charge to support Fan Chong.
The battle lasted until the evening, attacking Shouchun on three sides, the fastest all the way was Nangong Xiu's Yangzhou soldiers to the Chu Palace, surrounding the Chu Palace, Li Yanqing's troops quickly surrendered the Chu army in Shouchun City, and the battle is still going on only Yang Yin's Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment, there was a river of blood in Yang Yin's mansion, and Yang Yin's family members were basically slaughtered by Fan Chong, only Yang Yin and Xie Lu were still doing the final trapped beast fight with more than 20 Chu army guards.
Fan Chong walked into the courtyard of the mansion with a big knife, looked at Yang Yin and Xie Lu who were surrounded in the middle, and laughed: "Dog, betray me, today is your death." ”
"Dog thief, the seller seeks glory, Lao Tzu will not let you go even if he dies..."Yang Yin looked at Fan Chong, and was even more angry, and scolded him.
"Archers, shoot them into arrow piles for Lao Tzu." Fan Chongda shouted.
'Whoosh...'
The arrows broke through the air, and poor Yang Yin Xie Lu and the others were shot and killed in the mansion by random arrows, but Fan Chong was not happy in his heart, and stepped forward and cut off the head of Yang Yin, who had not closed his eyes: "Dog things, they are still hard mouthed when they die." ”
