Chapter 21: Shibukawa Sueyoshi Yellow Dragon Lock (I)

The tide is over.

As soon as he heard that the south gate was sacrificed, Li Changjie's mind was swirling, and his body shook, if it weren't for the soldiers behind him who hurriedly supported him, he would have fallen headlong on the head of the city.

But after he was helped up, he was still dizzy, and he didn't know what to say when he looked at the panicked subordinates for a while.

"The Great Yue is over." A general screamed in grief, his legs collapsed to the ground weakly, and he sat on the ground and raised his head, without a trace of blood on his face: "Captain, come down." ”

Li Changjie remembered that he followed him to advocate attacking Yongzhou in the north, and after the Song people came south, he strongly advocated raising troops to fight a decisive battle with him. It is the toughest one in the army, and now that the capital has been broken, the true face is revealed.

There are no reinforcements outside, no defense inside, how can such a city be kept?! Now that even the city gate has been sacrificed, even if the Yellow Dragon in the Fuliang River personally came down to help, it would be useless.

At this moment, the clouds that had been dense in the sky suddenly cracked, and the bright sun above the clouds cast a golden edge for the cracked clouds, and although the rain did not appear, it became smaller at the sight.

Li Changjie used Tianzhao to encourage the ministers and the army to hold the city, and even sent all the weapons in the treasury to organize all the men in the city, and the army that retreated into the city added up to nearly 100,000 people. This is all because the rain in the sky is constantly falling, and the river of the Fuliang River is full day by day, which is the main reason why he dares to hold on in front of the Song army with the power of a city.

A set of lies that even Li Changjie himself is convinced of is undoubted, and it has become the only remaining foundation to support the morale of the country, and now that the clouds are about to disperse, and the lies are no longer useful, who can hold on at this time?

In other words, a few days ago, if someone dared to persuade Li Changjie to surrender in front of him, Li Changjie would definitely behead him without saying a word to show the public, so as to set an example. But now that someone is really saying the word surrender in front of him, Li Changjie has no strength to punish him again.

Everything is over, even the heavens have abandoned Da Yue, what other means can make Da Yue not be wiped out? Li Changjie couldn't think of it, and all the generals who followed him couldn't think of it either.

Finished!

The big one is over!

The commander and the generals became depressed, which naturally affected the soldiers below, and the strength of the defense was reduced to a minimum almost in a short period of time.

The cheers at the south gate did not come from the city, but there were no more people still shooting arrows at the east gate in the defenders at the east gate.

Yan Da, who commanded the battle in front, as a veteran general who had been in battle for a long time, found out that the situation in the city must have changed at the first time, and immediately sent people back to the Chinese army to report the enemy situation to Zhang Dian and Han Gang. He took the opportunity to strengthen the offensive, hoping to capture the capital of Jiaozhi in one fell swoop.

"Is it civil strife in the city? Or did Witness Li do something? Zhang Dian frowned and muttered to himself.

"Look at the current situation, the defenders in the city are almost at the limit, and the Jiaozhi people will not have the courage to defend to the end." After the official army crossed the river, many of the courtiers in the city also sent cronies to contact the surrender, but when the rainy season came, after the torrential rain, they immediately did not move. But now, presumably, these wall grasses and chameleons are going to change the direction of lodging and change to a different color, Han Gang said with certainty, "It's probably civil strife!" ”

Just when Yanda stepped up the offensive, and Zhang Dian, Han Gang, and even Li Xian, the three of them were guessing what was going on in the city, which made the strength of the city garrison much weaker.

The commander of a commanding officer who was at the south gate sent a herald on horseback. It may have been a fall on the road, although it doesn't look like a serious injury to the muscles and bones, but the whole body is as dirty as a mud monkey. This faceless herald was stopped by a group of personal guards of the commanders.

The herald was stopped from a distance, and he was anxious for a while, holding the same muddy command flag high, and shouted loudly to the commander in the crowd, "Marshal Zhang, Vice Marshal Han!" The villain was ordered by Liu to come to the second marshal, the guard of the south gate of Shenglong Mansion has opened the city, and now the official army has taken control of the city gate, and the second marshal is invited to send reinforcements quickly! ”

Hearing the noisy shouting, Zhang Dian and Han Gang didn't react for a while, until the herald shouted and repeated the news of the opening of the south gate again, and no one stopped him anymore.

Coming to the commanders, the herald saluted, and retold the news he had brought.

When Han Gang heard this, his brain felt like something had exploded, and a wave of ecstasy spread from his heart to his whole body. After more than a year and nearly two years of hard work, it is now really coming to an end.

Look left and right, Zhang Dian pursed his lips and clenched his fists hard, but Li Xian opened his mouth and let out a silent big laugh, as long as the people who heard the news, it was difficult to hide the excitement in their eyes, and the surrounding generals and soldiers did not have too many scruples, and they all cheered at once.

It is not without other plans that the official army is concentrated on the east side of Thang Long Mansion, and there is also the idea of attracting the main forces in the city. The main force of the official army fought a decisive battle with Li Changjie at the east gate, while the other four gates were handed over to the right people who could grasp the opportunity. And the current results also prove that this choice is not wrong.

"Still be careful." Zhang Dian calmed down and recovered his sanity from the ecstasy, "Although it is said that the south gate has dedicated the city, as long as the official army has not completely occupied the Thang Long Mansion and captured or confirmed the death of Yilan, Qiande and Li Changjie, we must not relax our guard, and the more we are at this time, the more careful we must be!" ”

Zhang Dian strictly ordered his soldiers to calm down, but because he was too excited to forget to give a specific order, the herald was a little flustered, Han Gang shouted beside him: "Didn't you hear Zhang Shuai's orders? Quickly return to the southern city, let Liu Dong guard the gate of the southern city, as for the Xidong tribes, let them enter the city, it is best to make a mess! He turned around and proposed to Zhang Dun, "Brother Zihou, it's best to send another team of men and horses to the south gate to assist in the defense, so it's safer." ”

"When it is." Zhang Duan finally calmed down completely, and the privy deputy had not yet arrived, so he immediately ordered a commander from the reserve and told them to rush to the south city at once.

"Keep an eye on the west gate and the north gate to prevent anyone in the city from absconding." Li Xian also interjected.

Han Gang smiled in his heart. With tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers on the outskirts of the city, where could the important people in the city run out at this time? As long as one comes out, one will be caught. Don't even think about any chance of escaping the realm of Thang Long Province. But at this time, there is no need to refute Li Xian's face, anyway, he is just showing his sense of existence.

In fact, after a few months of getting along, Han Gang also knew that Li Xian's military literacy was definitely not bad, and it could even be said that he was generally an excellent general. Wang Sunchen, Zhao Long, and Li Xin, young generals, were actually inferior to him when it came to astronomy, geography, the art of war, and political affairs.

Zhang Dian had an idea with Han Gang, and ordered two more personal soldiers, threw the arrow, and asked them to quickly inform the north gate and the west gate. Turning around, he shouted loudly: "The south gate is open, and the east gate must also step up the attack, speed up the construction of the soil, and can't let there be time for troops to be transferred and rescued!" ”

Half an hour later, the news of the destruction of the city of Thang Long Mansion spread throughout the battlefield, although I don't know why Lu Dao still has to transport clods of earth to the city at this time, but the barbarian soldiers who are running around have become one by one, and they are excited for the upcoming feast. Even the people of Jiaozhi who worked for the enemy took the initiative to speed up, hoping that they could be freed as soon as possible.

The orders were all passed on, and at this time, it was only necessary to wait for the entire city to fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

'Finally...... It's finally settled. ’

Han Gang breathed a long sigh of relief. The loud sigh startled him, but it was Zhang Dian beside him who also sighed at the same time.

The two coaches glanced at each other, and Zhang Dian sighed with a tired smile, "Yukun, it's finally decided now." ”

Han Gang nodded deeply, "It's indeed all decided!" ”

It's not easy!

Since the rains, Han Gang, who is in charge of various affairs in the camp, has been restless. Ensuring the health of the southbound army is not so easy to say. Today's siege is by no means as simple as it seems. The time and place are all out of the hands, and once today's attack is frustrated, morale will certainly not recover in a short time, and it will only become more and more depressed in the increasingly unbearable climatic conditions.

After the start of the rainy season, the air was so humid that the water could be squeezed out, and the clothes on the body were not dried up, and many people had rashes on their skin. Drinking water always smells bad. Before crossing the river, only half of the coptis used by the army to stop diarrhea was used, but once the river was crossed, the rain was reduced by one-third in a few days. Moreover, there are more snakes and insects, Han Gang was in his tent this morning with a centipede nearly half a foot long, and the number of soldiers in the camp who were bitten by various poisonous insects and poisonous snakes added up to more than two hundred.

In addition, there are also problems with weapons, even if the horse chopping knife is oiled every day, it still has to be sharpened once a day, the armor is also average, not to mention the divine arm bow, and even the assembled iron parts on the thunderbolt cannon have become rusty in just a few days.

Before today's siege, Han Gang was still thinking that if he could be transferred to the city for resettlement in the next two days, and use clean water and food, he could barely ensure that the health and hygiene problems of nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers would not deteriorate too much. Otherwise, they can only choose to retreat, and wait until next year to make a comeback - the natural conditions here are really unfavorable for the northerners, and if they can't afford to hold swords and guns, and then want to retreat, there is not much chance.

But right now, it was the best result, listening to the horns of victory cheering one after another in the city, Han Gang heard Zhang Dian beside him say, "It seems that you can enter the city!" ”
