Chapter 113: The City Lord of the Elephant Land is captured

Everything was arranged, and Lu Yan ordered the officers and soldiers of the three armies to rest for five days, and when Xiangcheng was defenseless, he was caught off guard, and asked Liu Yi and Lu Jing to go to Bajun and Zhongsu Gukou to ambush him first.

At this moment, the elephant city is very comfortable, some time ago Zhao Tuo led two thousand soldiers to observe the elephant city to be cautious, but there was no news for many days, and the extra defense of the city gate tower was also withdrawn.

Outside the city in the dead of night, Ren Huan's 10,000 soldiers and horses slowly moved forward with a ladder, and when they arrived at the elephant city, all the torches were extinguished, and the advance soldiers tested the situation.

After confirming that there were no extra guards, Ren Huan immediately ordered to light the rocket and shoot towards the city, and the ladder was immediately erected on top of the city tower, and many soldiers immediately climbed towards the city gate.

The sleeping city lord in the city was awakened by the sound outside, and immediately called the guards to ask what was going on, and heard that there was a Qin army attacking the city at the south gate, but he was a little calm.

"The order is to be sent to the south gate, and the whole army must be transferred to the south gate, and the entrance of the city must be guarded so that the enemy will not be allowed to enter." The city lord calmly put on his cloak and said.

The soldiers on Ren Huan's side are progressing very smoothly, and many soldiers have climbed to the top of the city tower, but all the barbarians in the city have also arrived, and the scene is very chaotic.

The city lord stood on the periphery and watched that the Qin army had been controlled, and his mood was a little calm, who knew that at this moment, the soldiers at the north gate hurriedly came to report, saying that the north gate was broken in a moment.

It turned out that when Ren Huan attacked the south gate, Zhao Tuo had already arrived, in order to attract the attention of Ren Huan's troops, Zhao Tuo did not attack the city with Ren Huan at the same time.

Instead, let Ren Huan attack the city first, and wait for the barbarians in the city to go to support, Zhao Tuo immediately released arrows and built a cloud ladder, and immediately opened the city gate, and 10,000 Qin troops quickly poured into the city.

"Qiqi City Lord, the north gate is broken, and the south gate is so defended, so it's better to flee quickly." The soldier next to him said anxiously.

The city lord, who was calm just now, had sweat oozing out of his forehead, "How many soldiers and horses are there at the North Gate?" The city lord said a little vainly.

"There are more than 10,000 Qin troops, and now if they continue to stay at the south gate, the soldiers at the north gate will attack them, and the city lord is asked to make a decision as soon as possible." The soldier next to him said helplessly.

The city lord was just pacing back and forth, the situation at the south gate was very anxious, and the north gate had been breached, "Pass the order and lead the remaining troops from the west gate around the water gorge to the south city of Guilin for rescue." The city lord of Xiangcheng said helplessly.

As everyone knows, the southern city of Guilin has been breached, and Lu Jing has already designed an ambush at the mouth of Zhongsu Valley, which is just a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

The news of the escape of the city lord of Xiangcheng soon spread throughout Xiangcheng, and the morale of many soldiers defending at the south gate also plummeted.

In less than a moment, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo's army met, and now there were no Xiangcheng barbarians in the city who could fight except for the residents.

"Do we chase or not?" Zhao Tuo looked at Ren Huan and said.

Ren Huan just waved his hand, "The general had long expected that the city lord would flee to the southern city, so he asked Ziwen to design an ambush at the mouth of the Zhongsu valley, and this time he will definitely be able to capture the city lord of Xiangcheng alive." ”

Zhao Tuo just nodded, "The general is really clever." While the two were talking, a middle-aged soldier also came over to report the situation, and assigned the Qin army not to burn, kill and rob, he was Zhao Tuo's deputy general Fang Bi.

Putting aside the affairs in the city for the time being, let's see the city lord trotting all the way with two thousand soldiers, straight to the mouth of the Zhongsu Valley, while Lu Jing has been waiting on the hillside for a long time.

Seeing that there was a fire constantly approaching, and there were not many troops, it seemed like a rout, Lu Jing had already determined that this person was the lord of Xiangcheng, and when the army walked in, Lu Jing gave an order.

Arrows rained down on the hill, boulders rolled down, and the city lord retreated in some panic, while the soldiers in front were killed on the spot, hundreds of people were killed on the spot.

When the city lord wanted to retreat, five thousand soldiers and horses immediately came down from the hill with torches, and for a time the whole hill was like daylight, and the city lord and many soldiers were captured on the spot.

In the early morning of the next day, the good news was frequent, and Lu Yan immediately led Hu Hai Gongzi to the Elephant City, although he was a little embarrassed, but he was already registering, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

When it was almost noon, Lu Jing rushed to Xiangcheng with the captured barbarians and the city lord, and Lu Yan also went out to greet him in person, and this brother of Ziyu gave himself a long face.

In the main hall of Xiangcheng, Lu Yan sat in the first place, Ren Huan, Zhao Tuo, Lu Jing, Fang Bi, and Liu Yi each took the lower position.

The city lord knelt down a little embarrassed, and all the family members were imprisoned, "General, please spare me, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender." The city lord said with some frustration.

"What do you think?" Lu Yan didn't look at the city lord of Xiangcheng at all, but turned to ask the many soldiers next to him.

"It's better to kill the mighty army of Yizhuang, and wait until the time comes to take Nanyue Dongou and hand it over to the king to receive the reward." Zhao Tuo said very confidently.

Lu Yan frowned slightly, "How can I say that Xiangcheng has also been governed by him over the years, and it can be regarded as a simple people, so let's be demoted to a civilian for the time being, and the provincial people say that I am a great Qin who loves to kill." ”

Since Lu Yan said so, the rest of the soldiers are also speechless, a defeated general, how to deal with it is just a trivial matter, and the big thing now is how to plan the next step.

In general, in more than four months, all the big cities in Lingnan have been overcome, only the small counties have not been conquered, some are remote, and some are separated by mountains and rivers.

As he spoke, the city lord of Xiangcheng was pulled out by his soldiers, and it was not bad to be demoted to a civilian, if Zhao Tuo was the main general, I am afraid that he would have been playing on Huangquan Road a long time ago.

"Now that the main city of Lingnan is occupied, I want to send barbarian soldiers to persuade them in the remaining small counties, so as not to fight again, and how about the remaining soldiers rest for a while and then go to South Vietnam?" Lu Yan said slowly.

"What if someone doesn't want to surrender?" Ren Huan still didn't hold back and said.

Lu Yan scratched his head, "If there are only a dozen households, forget it, if it is more than a hundred, then lead the troops to attack, and the wild land will be attacked with barbarian soldiers." ”

"I have not made an inch of merit, and I am willing to persuade many people to surrender to the King of Qin." Liu Yi suddenly got up from his seat and said.

Anyway, there is no suitable candidate, since Liu Yi volunteered, he naturally wanted to give him a chance, "Vice General Liu is very pleased to serve the country like this, and when many people surrender, we will send troops to South Vietnam, and when the time comes, you will be rewarded." Lu Yan said very loudly.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness." The following is also an immediate flattery.

For half a month, Liu Yi visited many wildernesses in Lingnan, but also met people from all over the country, and heard that the three cities of Xiangcheng and Guilin were all lost, and almost all of them surrendered, and there was no other word.
