The drums sounded like a shocking sound, and the three thousand soldiers formed an infantry phalanx according to the battalion, and the left and right sides spread out in a goose-shaped formation, slowly approaching the low and dilapidated north gate of Liucheng.

Gao Leming was setting up a defense at the north gate, and when he saw that Zhuang Yi was planning to attack the city overnight, he immediately shook his head and sneered. Although night combat can effectively conceal the action attempt, reduce casualties, and surprise melee to destroy the enemy, the danger is also very high, and the night is not good for the besieging side and more beneficial to the defending side.

In the sound of rumbling drums, a group of 200 Xi soldiers carried improvised ramshells, shouted slogans, and rushed towards the city gate like a long hundred-legged centipede.

At this time, the Bohai soldiers also began to counterattack, and the arrows shot down like dense rain, but the Xi soldiers were soon surprised to find that these arrows were so weak that they obviously hit themselves, but they were bounced off by the leather armor, and they immediately wondered if their armor was too good.

In fact, of course not, but the Bohai soldiers had little war, neglected training, and did not maintain their weapons, and only found that the bowstring was weak and inelastic when they were about to fight, and the arrows naturally had no penetrating power. The Xi soldiers laughed, turned around and ran back, and rushed to the city gate again at the sound of the officer's slogan.

At the same time, fifty simple ladders were also lifted out under Zhuang Yi's order. Every ten people carried a wooden ladder, ran to the city wall, and when they got closer, the front team pressed the big end of the wooden ladder, and the rear team immediately erected it, and then turned over on the city wall with a bang, and in the shouting and urging of the officers, the soldiers lay on the wooden ladder and began to climb the city.

At this time, the Bohai soldiers panicked, raised the wooden and rolling stones and smacked their heads head-on, and suddenly the wooden ladder overturned, and the strings of Xiren soldiers fell to the ground one after another, falling down a meat and eight vegetarians, crying father and calling mother, more and more troops on both sides threw eight, and the battle became more and more intense, and then entered the white heat.

At the same time, in the backyard of the Liucheng Inn in the city, Xia Yue and Sha Gu heard the shouting and killing sound from outside, and knew that Zhuang Yi had started to attack the city as promised, and the two led two hundred soldiers, hiding scimitars, bows and arrows and other weapons, and quietly opened the door of the backyard under the cover of night, and quickly rushed into the uninhabited alley like a long dragon. Here you can go straight to the West City Gate without passing through the main street.

After turning a few corners in a row, the terrain in front of me was open, and there was an open space in front of the West City Gate. Xia Yue waved his hand to stop the soldiers behind him, and decided to go and inspect it himself. After he walked out of the dark alley, he hid behind a tree on the side of the road and watched, and saw that countless torches were lit on the head of Xicheng, but the defense was thin, and it was only after a long time that a patrol soldier walked by.

Xia Yue returned to discuss with Sha Gu, and brought out fifty archers, led by himself to cover the rear, and Sha Gu led one hundred and fifty soldiers armed with scimitars and round shields in front. The two hundred people adjusted their formation in the narrow alley, and immediately rushed away, rushing to the road to the city.

"Enemy attack!" The footsteps of the soldiers of the brigade of soldiers alarmed the Bohai defenders, and an angry roar broke the silence of the city, and the Bohai soldiers were caught off guard. But in a hurry, he lost his courage, and there were archer like Xia Yue in the rear, and he was quickly killed.

After a skirmish battle, Shagu took control of the city, only to find that the city was too small, there was no winch at the city, and the opening and closing of the city gate was made of wooden gates. He then raised a torch and threw it down from the city, sending a signal to the people outside the city.

Xia Yue led half of his men down the city wall to open the city gate, and immediately returned to the side, waiting for a while. Shi Dazhong, Yila, Punu and others led three battalions of 1,500 horsemen, and at this time, they had no worries about lighting torches, passing through the city gate like a gust of wind, and rushed straight to the soldiers and horses in the city.

Outside the north city gate, Zhuang Yi has stopped attacking the city, in fact, he only needs to add one more battalion of troops, and the city gate can also be stormed and taken, but he doesn't want to increase unnecessary casualties. However, soon, a soldier came to deliver the news that Sha Gu and Xia Yue had opened the west gate, and Shi Dazhong and Ira had entered the city.

Zhuang Yi was overjoyed, and then led the remaining troops to turn to the West Gate, chasing and killing the remnants of the Bohai Sea, all the way unimpeded to the soldiers and horses to the palace, Shi Dazhong had already led the troops to control here, and came out to greet him when he heard the news.

"Military envoys! Wu Chongli, the Bohai guard, has already run away with his family and some of his belongings, and Ila and Punu are leading their troops to Dongcheng and Beicheng, and we have really taken Yingzhou! Shi Dazhong said excitedly.

"Hey, hey! Look at your little bit of talent, it's still early! Zhuang Yi also laughed happily, in fact, he was also very excited in his heart, but he didn't want to show it. Suddenly, he thought of something again, and Zhuang Yi sent an order to Bian Wudao: "Xiao Wu! If you lead people to inspect the city, and you find those who kill innocents indiscriminately and plunder, they will all be arrested by me. ”

"Okay!" Unable to participate in this battle, Bian Wu had already held back his strength, cheered happily when he heard the order, and immediately turned around and went.

Zhuang Yi captured Liucheng overnight, and after dividing his troops to control the four gates, he took more than 500 Bohai prisoners, sealed the treasury, cleaned the battlefield and collected all kinds of loot, and summoned Duan Zhongzhong and other logistics personnel into the city, and was busy until late at night, which was basically settled.

Early the next morning, Shi Dazhong, Yila, Punu and others led two battalions to defend the city, and led two thousand elite cavalry including Xiayue and Shagu, Gao Hongxun, Yuan Zhiyong, and Neriguo to attack, and went to capture Yanjun and Ruluo on the west bank of Liaoshui.

These two guards are only low military cities, can garrison thousands of soldiers, built along the west bank of Liaoshui, one south and one north are seventy miles apart, control the road to enter the customs in Liaodong, but because of disrepair, it has long been dilapidated.

Poor Wu Chongli and Gao Leming fled to Yanjun last night to guard and capture, and under the shock, the troops in their hands were overwhelmed, so they had to flee in a hurry again. After leaving behind two carts of goods, Wu Chongli managed to escape; Gao Leming was hit by Xia Yue's arrow here and was captured.

The Yanjun Garrison and the Ruluo Garrison were easily occupied, and more than 250 Bohai soldiers were captured, and hundreds of war horses were captured. Zhuang Yi rested for half a day in Juluo, with Xia Yue and Gao Hongxun each leading a battalion of troops to stay, and led the main force to escort the prisoners back to Liucheng. At this point, the land east of Yuguan and west of Liaoshui was occupied by Zhuang Yi.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhuang Yi returned to Liucheng, the streets in the city had been cleaned and cleaned, and there was no trace of war, and the residents began to appear under their own roofs in twos and threes, but they still did not dare to walk around the streets easily, although Duan Zhongzhong had posted notices everywhere in the city.
