Chapter Forty-Six: Three Smokes
Yang Lian had already seen the smoke outside the city, he squinted his eyes, looked at the smoke like a black dragon, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the flag came back, Zhang Wenying's face changed greatly, although he knew that Pan Sen was unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be unreliable to this point, Wu Yuejun had just launched an offensive, and the city was broken. Although part of this was due to the mutiny of his subordinates, then again, Pan Sen's subordinates mutinied, isn't he responsible? The soldiers guarding the head of the city are all selected by him, and there should be no problem with loyalty, how could it be that as soon as the two armies came into contact, there was almost no resistance, and they immediately mutinied, but instead killed Pan Sen with his head in his hands?
Zhang Wenyi took advantage of the geographical advantage and told him that Pan Sen took more than 100 subordinates and rushed towards Jiacheng. There is no doubt that Pan Sen fled with the rout army in order to take refuge with the help of the city walls. However, in this way, it is inevitable that Wu Yuebing will be brought into the sub-city.
Zhang Wenying's mind turned around a thousand times, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only tell Yang Lian the truth. Yang Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, standing on the tower of the city, his eyes were blazing, looking ahead, Luocheng was relatively spacious compared to the sub-city, but due to the topography, the buildings in the city were often built with the help of the terrain. Standing on a high place, Yang Lian could see the flags flying in Luocheng.
At a distance of about 100 paces behind a banner embroidered with the word "Pan", there is another flag embroidered with the word "Bao". This is Bao Xiurang chasing down Pan Sen. Yang Lian waved his hand and signaled Zhang Wenying to be restless. Zhang Wenying bit her lip, she already had the determination to fight to the death, Wu Yue was different from Fuzhou, Wu Yue caught the Tang people, I am afraid that nine times out of ten they would be killed, it was better to die on the battlefield than to be humiliated and killed.
Pan Sen was wheezing as he ran, his speed was unhurried, the purpose was to keep a certain distance from Bao Xiurang, and when he took the city, Bao Xiurang could lead his troops to arrive in time. Of course, this distance should also be farther, otherwise Nei should not be able to seize the city gate in time.
At this time, Pan Sen had already seen the smoke rising from outside the city, and he was immediately overjoyed, and the general attack was about to be launched. After running for more than 100 steps, when he arrived at the gate of Jiacheng, Pan Sen raised his head and happened to see Yang Lian also looking down.
"Yang Jiedu, Wu Yuegou is here." Panson made a stamped appearance.
"General Pan, how did you guard the city gate? Let Wu Yueren break through so quickly? Yang Lian stood at the head of the city, looking displeased, and scolded Pan Sen.
Pan Sen hurriedly said: "Yang Jiedu, the last general has no way to lead the troops, and he is willing to be punished, but at this time, please let me in, otherwise Wu Yuebing will come in." ”
Yang Lian groaned slightly, and said, "Okay, I'll let you in this section." ”
There are two gates in Jiacheng, one north gate and one south gate, Yang Lian asked people to open the north gate, Pan Sen led his troops to enter, he suddenly mentioned the knife, killed the two, and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to catch Yang Lian and make a name for yourself!" ”
There were not many Tang soldiers guarding the north gate, Yang Lian mainly put his troops at the south gate, Pan Sen suddenly attacked, which surprised him, and immediately ran along the city wall and headed towards the south gate.
Pan Sen rushed up the city wall, saw Yang Lian's embarrassed back and left, and took his own soldiers to wave his sword. The city wall is a little narrow, and Yang Lian piled up a lot of sasswoods in order to defend against the enemy, in addition to some firewood. Thinking that Yang Lian was planning to use fire attack when the situation was not good.
Bao Xiurang then also climbed the city wall, and as far as his eyes could see, Pan Sen was like a wild dog, biting Yang Lian's fat meat. Bao Xiurang immediately let people put up a big banner, and at the same time sent someone to inform Hu Qing, telling him that the army had taken the north gate of Jiacheng with the cooperation of Pan Sen, and as long as the south gate was occupied again, Yang Lian would become a turtle in the urn, and he would not be able to escape anywhere.
The city wall was very long, Yang Lian ran wildly all the way, the armor on his body was a little heavy, making him out of breath, Cha Wenhui, Zhang Wenying and a cadre of Tang soldiers were very dissatisfied with Pan Sen's rebellion while running. Cha Wenhui was even more dissatisfied in his heart, he had reminded Yang Lian at the beginning, thinking that Pan Sen was not particularly trustworthy, but Yang Lian insisted on going his own way, and at the most critical moment, he also used Pan Sen to guard the city gate, which was the biggest mistake.
But now it's an afterthought, and it won't help to complain, Cha Wenhui is out of breath, where can he take care of anything else?
Outside the city, Hu Qing stared closely at the city gate, as if he wanted to see something from the city gate. The sound of the battle gradually faded away, proving that Wu Yuejun had already attacked, and thinking that he could achieve such a great victory in the first big battle in his life, Hu Qing was extremely proud in his heart.
At this time, a fast horse galloped out, and when he reached Hu Qing, he hugged his fists and arched his hands, and said: "Hu Jiedu, General Bao has already attacked Jiacheng, the bandit leader Yang Lian fled in a hurry, and General Pan is leading his troops to pursue." ”
Hu Qing laughed, pointed the horsewhip forward, and said, "Let's go, enter the city." ”
Hu Cheng hurriedly stopped and said, "Uncle, although General Bao has already attacked Fuzhou City, the city is still very chaotic, and it is not appropriate to enter the city until the situation is unknown." ”
Hu Qing squinted his eyes and looked at his nephew, who was more than 20 years older than him, and said with a smile: "You, you are just cowardly, and you have been a soldier." Now that our army is pressing the border, and the Tang army is retreating one after another, what is there to fear? As he spoke, he patted his horse forward.
The soldiers behind him glanced at each other, and they all rushed forward, and several soldiers took the lead to open the way, and everyone walked all the way towards the city.
At this time, Yang Lian, Cha Wenhui, Zhang Wenying and others in the city ran down the city wall and ran wildly for nearly three miles, Yang Lian was also a little unbearable, the armor on his body was too heavy, and he consumed a lot of physical strength.
Pan Sen was thrown away by Yang Lian two hundred paces, but Pan Sen didn't have much to worry about, judging from the current situation, Yang Lian had already been tricked, even if he escaped to Zicheng, once he should be in time to attack, Yang Lian would not be able to escape at all.
The Tang army at the head of the city opened the city gate, and let Yang Lian, Cha Wenhui and others enter the city, and the city gate was closed when Pan Sen was still more than fifty steps, and at the same time, arrows rained down, and several soldiers were shot to the ground.
Pan Sen slowly stopped, this is the place where the number of soldiers of the Tang Army is most concentrated, looking at the crossbowmen on the head of the city, Pan Sen decided to wait for a while, the strong attack is not what he wants. After waiting for a while, Bao Xiurang also arrived, followed by hundreds of soldiers, panting, some carrying military flags, gasping for breath.
At this time, Yang Lian had already stepped onto the city, for the Tang army, the sub-city was the last fortress, if it was broken, there would be no solid defense, even the Jiedu Embassy was not so strong. Zhang Wenying looked at the more and more Wu Yue soldiers and horses outside Zicheng, and her brows furrowed tightly.
Cha Wenhui held on to the female wall, gasping violently, unable to speak.
"Surrender, spare you from dying!" Pan Sen said loudly, of course, he didn't believe it.
Bao Xiurang rode on his war horse and kept a certain distance from the city. Although Zicheng also has a moat, it is not wide, which is why Wang Zhen knew why he wanted to expand Fuzhou City. Yang Lian hid in Zicheng, he was already a turtle in an urn, waiting to be captured.
At this time, a fast horse hurriedly came and told Bao Xiurang the news that Hu Jiedu had entered the city.
Pan Sen approached Bao Xiurang and said in a low voice: "General Bao, I have arranged more than a hundred soldiers in the city, and now that the smoke has risen, they are ready, as long as we wait for the siege of the city, they will immediately kill and cooperate with our army to take the city gate." ”
Bao Xiurang nodded, hesitated slightly, and said, "How sure are you?" ”
"Ten points." Pan Sen's answer was very simple, Yang Lian didn't notice his opposition at all, which meant that the interior of Zicheng should be able to achieve the effect of taking him by surprise and attacking him unprepared.
Bao Xiurang nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's better to wait for a while." ”
Pan Sen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Bao Xiurang meant, waiting for Hu Qing and Hu Jiedu to come, when the time came, he would attack Zicheng, and Hu Jiedu should be very impressed. Of course, this also means that they want to give Hu Qing this credit. Pan Sen knows Hu Qing's identity, if Hu Qing can be promoted, he will also be able to be promoted, and this business can be done.
Wu Yue's army was sluggish, but the soldiers were ready to attack the city at any time. The ladder was sent up.
Yang Lian looked at Pan Sen outside Zicheng, his fists clenched, at this time, he was too far away from Wang Mountain, and he couldn't see the flag over there. However, Yang Lian could see that a thick smoke also rose on Wang Mountain, which meant that the commander of Wu Yuejun had entered the city.
Yang Lian instructed Zhu Qi beside him, "Go, light the fire." ”
Cha Wenhui and Zhang Wenying didn't understand a little, but at this time, it was not easy to ask. Zhu Qi left in a hurry, and a moment later, a thick smoke also rose in the sub-city. The three thick smoke inside and outside Fuzhou City echo each other, which looks very weird.
In the Jin Ge Iron Horse, Hu Qing came with a look of arrogance, and when he saw Bao Xiurang and Pan Sen standing still, he was surprised for a moment in his heart, and then he understood Bao Xiurang's thoughts. Hu Jiedu personally led the troops to break through Fuzhou City, such a great achievement will inevitably be praised by Wu Yue's courtiers. Everyone has vanity, and Hu Qing has a proud personality and a stronger vanity.
Bao Xiurang hurriedly walked over, hugged his fists and said: "Hu Jiedu, Yang Lian fled into Zicheng, he is already a trapped beast, and he won't survive tonight." "At this time, the sun had only just risen, and the bright light shone brightly, shining on the armor.
Hu Qing squinted his eyes and looked at Zicheng, there were indeed more Tang Army defenders in Zicheng, but the situation had reached this point, he didn't believe that Yang Lian could still hold on.
"Attack, no matter whether Yang Lian is dead or alive, this section will remember his first merit and report his merits to the imperial court!" Hu Qing said, clasped his fists together, and bowed to the north.
"Whoa!" Bao Xiu made him happy, with this sentence, they were no longer afraid. Bao Xiurang went to the front line, called Pan Sen, and said, "It's time to do it." ”
"Whoa!" Pan Sen agreed, and the banner was erected, and the soldiers shouted loudly, holding ladders and wooden shields, and charged towards the sub-city. Pan Sen believed that the sound of the three armies rushing into the sky must have been heard, and as long as they heard it, the matter would be done.
Seeing that Wu Yuejun was about to attack, Yang Lian raised his hand, motioned to Zhu Qi on the side, and said calmly: "Prepare." ”
Zhu Qi responded, took a few steps back, and led the soldiers to uncover the black cloth on the city, revealing its original appearance. Cha Wenhui and Zhang Wenying looked at it, it turned out to be a catapult, looking at the style, it should be a catapult of the Fuzhou army, after Yang Lian took control of Fuzhou City, he didn't know where to drag it out, and now it is used to defend the city.
