Chapter 45: The Breaking of the City

Pan Sen put his hands on the pergola, stood on tiptoe, and looked earnestly ahead, beside him, four or five people who looked like captains gathered together, talking from time to time.
Although there is Pan Sen as the inside line, no one knows what Wu Yueren plans to do, take a step back and say, even if Wu Yueren agrees, in the chaotic army, the sword is not long-eyed, and it may not be cut by anyone, then it will not be cut.
"Everyone, don't rush, follow the plan." Pan Sen knew that everyone was anxious, and immediately comforted them, as long as the Wu Yue people attacked the urn city, with his guidance, it would not be difficult to take the sub-city.
Only then did everyone remember something, and they hurriedly took out a white cloth from their bosoms and tied it to their arms.
"Let the brothers tie up first, and don't go wrong." Pan Sen told him that at this time, it was the most critical moment, and he had to calm down and not let Yang Lian find the clues.
The captains responded, and while they were talking, in the whistling wind, Wu Yue's soldiers pressed the realm and killed them. The formation of Wu Yue's soldiers was very neat, Hu Qing was in the middle, Bao Xiu was beside him, and the rest of Wu Yue's troops were divided into two sides. The military flag was unfurled, and the pace of Wu Yuebing's advance had the tendency of shaking the ground and the mountains, and with every step, the city wall of Fuzhou was faintly shaking.
At the highest point of Wang Mountain, on a sentry tower with a foot of twenty zhang, Zhang Wenyi squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the news of Wu Yuejun's golden cake outside the city, and he immediately ordered his standard-bearers to pass it on.
"Yang Jiedu, Wu Yue people have entered the army." Zhang Wenying received the news and hurriedly sent someone to tell Yang Lian.
"Be careful, be vigilant, and don't panic when you encounter something." Yang Lian commanded, walked up quickly, from the clamping city, Yang Lian could vaguely see the direction of the urn city, so he needed Zhang Wenyi to deliver the news to him.
Cha Wenhui followed behind Yang Lian, his forehead was full of sweat, Wu Yue's soldiers pressed the border, making him very nervous, if Fuzhou City was breached, the Tang army would be more than 10,000 people, and there would be more than one bad luck.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Wu Yuejun began to beat the war drums, and the stirring drums echoed over the city of Fuzhou, startling the birds of the hills and hovering in mid-air.
Hu Qing held the horsewhip in his hand, pointed forward, and said with a smile: "General Bao, the city of Fuzhou is broken today, and General Bao should be the first to take credit." ā
Bao Xiurang glanced at Hu Qing in some surprise, he didn't take credit? It seems that the rumors may not be credible, how does he know that Hu Qing is not not not stealing credit, but that he personally commanded the battle of Fuzhou, even if there is Bao Xiurang's plan, his command credit cannot be escaped. My father has great influence in the imperial court, and after I go back, it's not a matter of one sentence to add an official to a knight?
"Thank you, Hu Jiedu." Bao Xiurang said, squinting his eyes and looking at the city, seeing that the banner erected on the city wall was Pan Sen's banner, and his heart was slightly settled.
"Hu Jiedu, our army should follow the plan, feint to attack Fuzhou City, and deceive Yang Lian. When we were about to get close to the city gates, Pan Sen would lower the drawbridge and open the city gates to welcome us into the city. Bao Xiurang said.
Hu Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at the city carefully, and continued to listen to Bao Xiurang's speech.
"After our army entered the city, Pan Sen pretended to be defeated and led our army to kill Benzicheng, at the same time, a fire was ignited outside the city, and under the instruction of thick smoke, more than 100 soldiers who were ambushed in Zicheng killed out with lightning speed, seized the gate of Zicheng, and greeted the army." Bao Xiurang said, this plan is simple and clear, and it is feasible, of course, the premise of all this is that Yang Lian does not know that Pan Sen is Wu Yue's internal response.
Hu Qing touched his chin and said with a smile: "Okay, attack immediately." ā
Bao Xiurang took more than a dozen lieutenants and took the order. Hu Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at the city of Fuzhou, there was no flaw in this plan, and he couldn't think of anything suspicious, of course, the most important thing was that Bao Xiu personally led the troops into the city, even if there was any problem, Hu Qing was outside the city, there was no danger, it was enough.
Since he already had an internal response, Hu Qing did not order the construction of a command platform, so he rode on a war horse and observed the battle situation. In two or three hours at most, he will be able to enter Fuzhou City, have lunch in the city, and reward the three armies.
Hu Qing hurried all the way and brought a certain amount of siege equipment, all of which were relatively light ladders, as for the rushing car, the car and other things, these things were too big to carry, and they generally took time to build before the siege. Now attacking Fuzhou, firstly, time does not allow, and secondly, there is an internal response, so there is no need for this.
The surface work still had to be done, and Yang Lian could not be suspicious, so the soldiers of Wu Yuejun still carried the ladder, about three or four hundred, and charged towards Fuzhou City. Bao Xiurang went to the battlefield in person, he was dressed in armor, holding a long knife in his hand, prancing horses chanting, behind him, a large flag embroidered with the word "Bao" flew in the air, this is he telling Pan Sen, I am coming.
When Bao Xiurang led his troops and horses to charge, the three-way drum had ended, and the morale of Wu Yuejun's army had reached its highest level. When the soldiers saw that the main general was charging in person, they were all full of energy, and they wanted to wash away the shame of yesterday's unfavorable siege.
The horn sounded, Wu Yuejun shouted a tsunami, like a tide, and the city of Fuzhou seemed to be placed on the shore, and it would be destroyed by this stormy wave at any time.
"It's coming!" With joy on his face, Panson raised his hand in the air, motioning for the archers to raise their bows and arrows and make a shooting gesture. At the same time, he had one of his closest connections, the robes, guard the tower, and the soldiers were responsible for opening the gates. Pan Sen calculated, when Wu Yuebing was still thirty or forty steps away from the city gate, it was most appropriate to lift the gate. The soldiers are hiding in the shadows, and no one will find out.
The distance was getting closer and closer, Pan Sen could already hear Wu Yueren's shouts clearly, he raised his hand, waited until Wu Yuejun entered the firing range, waved his arm violently, and shouted: "Shoot!" ā
The crossbowmen got the order, they shot one after another, and the arrows and feathers rushed away like rain, but in fact, because the arrow clusters had been removed, they were actually not lethal, Wu Yuejun raised the wooden shield in his hand, and easily blocked this round of arrow feathers, and several soldiers were more unlucky, the arrow feathers happened to pass through the wooden shield and hit the face, and the huge impact made him grin his teeth and his eyes were red.
"Shoot, don't stop!" Pan Sen continued to give orders, he knew that Wang Shan had a group of Tang soldiers, and they would inevitably observe the situation on this side of the city by taking advantage of the terrain, and if it was found that something was wrong with the city, it would not be able to achieve the unexpected goal.
Pan Sen was very proud that he could play Yang Lian in the palm of his hand, and afterwards, he must let Yang Lian know who was ruthless. At the beginning, Yang Lian forced him to kill, and when he caught Yang Lian, he asked Yang Lian to kill more robes, and then killed him with a knife.
The arrow feathers without clusters of arrows continued to shoot out, until Wu Yuejun was only fifty steps away from the city gate, Pan Sen immediately gave an order, and the soldiers who were in ambush in the city tower rushed forward and struggled to lift the gate, and at the same time, one of the heads of the capital around him began to act according to the plan.
At this time, Zhang Wenyi was passing on the situation that had happened in the city to Yang Lian, who squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Cheng, which was almost empty. After many years of war in Fuzhou, many people fled, and later Li Hongyi forcibly moved the people of Luocheng to Zicheng in order to strengthen control, so that the people of Luocheng were less than 30% of the original. The war was coming, and Yang Lian temporarily moved the people to Zicheng.
At this time, only a few soldiers were patrolling in the huge Luocheng, Yang Lian nodded, and motioned to Zhang Wenying beside him to reply to Zhang Wenyi, indicating that he understood.
Zhang Wenyi received the news and was saying this to the soldiers around him, when at this moment, the sky in the urn city suddenly changed. He clearly saw that several members of the Fuzhou army suddenly drew their blades and rushed towards Pan Sen. Pan Sen was suddenly attacked, obviously did not respond, and resisted a few knives in a panic, and fled from the city in embarrassment.
"Someone mutinied?" Zhang Wenyi's face changed, and when he didn't have time to react, someone put down the suspension bridge, "Boom!" There was a loud bang, stirring up countless dust. Even if he was far away, Zhang Wenyi seemed to be able to hear the loud noise.
Immediately afterwards, the shouts of killing rose one after another, Zhang Wenyi saw the city tower, killing into a piece, at this time, Wu Yuebing was only a dozen steps away from the city wall, the soldiers holding the ladder quickly to the edge of the moat, put down the ladder, quickly crossed the river, other soldiers carried the ladder across the moat, several soldiers worked together, put the ladder on the city wall, and quickly climbed.
Zhang Wenyi's mouth opened wide, it happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to react at all. The soldiers around him were also stunned, looking at the city in a daze, with a look of disbelief.
Bao Xiurang naturally did not climb the city, the drawbridge fell, the gate was opened, and the city gate was quickly opened. Behind him, more than a dozen of his own soldiers rode war horses and followed closely.
"Kill!" The shouting of killing shook the sky, Bao Xiurang rode a war horse and rushed into the city, at this time, the two gates of the urn city had been opened, Bao Xiurang looked around, there were not many soldiers on the city wall, and he thought that he had already gone down the city wall.
Bao Xiurang rushed towards the other door, and when he came to him, he found that the door was also open, and he immediately rushed in without hesitation. Entering the city, it was a wide avenue, Bao Xiu swept his eyes, and immediately saw Pan Sen's men, holding banners, were fleeing frantically.
"Thief, where to go." Bao Xiu let out a loud shout and led the troops to hurry, he knew that Pan Sen was deliberately leading the way.
Pan Sen also saw Bao Xiurang for the first time, he squeezed his eyebrows at Bao Xiurang, and soon rushed towards Jiacheng, behind him, more than a hundred henchmen and soldiers followed behind, rolling up a cloud of dust.
The incident happened suddenly, Zhang Wenyi reacted at this time, and immediately asked the soldiers to pass the flag, Pan Sen's subordinates rebelled, and now Luocheng has been lost, Wu Yue's army is killing Benzicheng and going, at this moment, outside the city, Hu Qingren ignited a fire, at this time, the sky is gradually brightening, and the fire is naturally not easy to see, therefore, Hu Qingren threw the moist wood into it, mixed with the branches that had just been cut down, under the burning of the fire, the branches and leaves dried up quickly, the water evaporated, and the smoke was everywhere, like a black dragon, twisting and crawling towards the sky.
At this time, at the head of the city, the original flag was pulled down by Wu Yuejun and replaced with the flag of Wu Yuejun. (To be continued.) )
