Chapter 370: Capture the City 2
The reason why he agreed to Ah Qiqi's opinion so simply was because he knew Ah Qiqi's personality, and Gai Yuan didn't want to provoke him, after all, he was the son of the military master of Andong Mansion. Besides, with a veteran like Gao Xiang by his side, he can also rest assured that the defense of the two city walls will be handed over to Ah Qiqi.
Subsequently, the reinforcements led by Ah Qiqi took over the two cities in the southeast, in other words, if there were no accidents, the Xiaoguo army would officially take charge of half of the defense. Then the capture of Liao Tunnel City by the Xiaoguo army is no longer a problem.
"General, you're back!" Outside the barracks, Situ Liang and Hu Xiang greeted them.
"How? I haven't been scared by the Evil Army in the city these days. Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"The general said with a smile, under the arrangement of Lord Situ, we go outside the city every day to challenge, and the Yan army in the city is simply a turtle with a shrunken head, and they dare not come out, and they will know that the camp outside the city is actually an empty shelf." Hu Xiang said with a smile, speaking of which, it was really enough to worry him at first.
"The whole army was ordered, except for the two northwest gates with 10,000 men left, and the whole army moved to the southeast two battalions. Let the two battalions in the northwest strengthen the camp defense. Tonight, we are going to enter Liao Tunnel City. ”
Back to the big tent, Zhao Xun was not ambiguous, and immediately began to prepare for the siege.
In the city, after the army began to move, Ah Qiqi and Wei Dong waited silently in the Dongcheng camp, quietly paying attention to the movement of the outside world, in order to prevent accidents, they also refused Gai Yuan's welcome banquet on the grounds that they were tired and wanted to rest.
Hearing the report of the soldiers, the army was deployed, and Wei Donghe looked at Ah Qiqi and Gao Xiang's personal guards and breathed a sigh of relief. However, the defenders of the city also sent men to the southeast flank, and they seemed to be constantly patrolling.
"Patrolling? Surveillance? Is there any doubt? Ah Qiqi, you can convene the city to guard the future to deliberate, and more than a thousand people must be there. Wei Dong stared at A Qiqi and said.
"Yes! Be! Be! I understand! Ah Qiqi immediately softened and hurriedly said.
…………
"Du Shuai, this reinforcement commander is also arrogant!" One of the generals beside Gai Yuan said dissatisfiedly.
"That's it, this is Liao Tunnel City, not Andong City, what kind of majesty."
"Okay, don't talk about it, reinforcements, rescue soldiers, no matter what, they're here to help, don't cause any trouble." Gai Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and said. He doesn't have a good impression of Ah Qiqi, but his identity is different, so if he can't provoke him, it's best not to provoke him.
"Du Shuai, but Na Qi Qi does not have the ability to command the army in a regular manner at all, and he still has to hold on to the two gates, in case ......," a general said urgently.
"With the veteran Gao Xiang by his side, there shouldn't be any problems. At the same time, we have also sent people to patrol the southeast, and if there is a problem, we can quickly provide support. Gai Yuan explained.
"Report! Du Shuai, Lord A Qiqi sent someone to summon the summons and summoned all the generals in the city with more than 1,000 people to discuss the military, saying that he had a warrant from the military lord in his hand! ”
"Discuss big things? Come, summon generals of more than 1,000 generals at all levels, and go to the East Camp to discuss matters. "Although I don't understand, since I have a warrant from the military master, I can't help but go.
It didn't take long for Gai Yuan to arrive with a large number of generals. Thousands of generals, generals, everyone's faces are not good-looking, when they were welcomed into the city before, Ah Qiqi did not say. asked him to feast and drink, but he didn't go, and specially asked people to run more. If it weren't for the identity of the other party, he would have been scolded a long time ago. These people are not here yet. Because of the different responsibilities, they arrived first.
"Stop, your personal guards are entertaining over there, and the generals are coming with me, and my lord is announcing it again." In the middle of the camp, Wei Dong pretended to be Ah Qiqi's personal guard and said proudly.
Seventy or eighty people each went to these dozens of guards, adding up, no less than a thousand, Wei Dong naturally would not let them all lift the ban on the Chinese army's big tent.
After listening to Wei Dong's words, the generals did not doubt him, and hurriedly walked towards the Chinese army after dismounting one by one. However, when they entered the tent, they found that the huge military tent was empty, and everyone stood in the tent with some surprise, and for a moment they could not understand what was going on.
"General Xue, it's all here." A soldier whispered to Xue Lei.
"Then let's get moving!"
While these generals were waiting in the big tent, there was a sudden rush of footsteps all around, and as officers, they could hear it at once, this was a large group of men and horses, and it was around the big tent.
"What's going on? Get out there and check it out! There was a sudden sound of knives drawn and exclamations in the big tent.
"Whoa......
A general closest to the door of the big tent lifted the curtain, and was just about to walk out, when he was startled by the situation in front of him, and his figure suddenly stopped.
The rest of the generals also poured out, their faces turned pale and their brows furrowed. What caught their eyes was a group of soldiers, and without waiting for them to react, the front row was holding a large shield, and behind them were archers, and the arrows in the hands of the archers pointed directly at themselves and others.
"What do you mean by that? What exactly are you doing? Gai Yuan asked in annoyance. No one can accept being surrounded by archers, how can you say that you are also the commander of Liao Tunnel City. At this moment, he even wondered if Ah Qiqi's head was caught by the door.
"Lay down your arms and surrender immediately, or you will be killed!" Ignoring Gai Yuan's roar, Xue Lei shouted sharply.
"Ah Qiqi, Gao Xiang, get out of here, do you know what you are doing? Seizure of power? Even if it's a seizure of power, it can't be like this, you two bastards, get out of here. ”
Ah Qiqi and Gao Xiang appeared in front of these dozens of people, Ah Qiqi hid behind the shield with a disapproving face, while Gao Xiang looked ashamed and did not speak.
"Ah Qiqi, Gao Xiang, give me an explanation, what are you doing here? Gao Xiang, you just let this bastard do what he wants? Gai Yuan pointed at Ah Qi and asked angrily.
"Put down your weapons! Immediately! Otherwise, there will be no mercy! Seeing Gai Yuan's disdain, Ah Qi roared.
Gao Xiang said in a deep voice: "Gai Yuan, let's be honest with you, our reinforcements were ambushed by the Xiaoguo Army nearly a hundred miles away, and the whole army was wiped out!" As he spoke, he sighed, looked at Gai Yuan, and then looked at the soldiers around him.
"Annihilation? You mean the total annihilation? Gai Yuan said in disbelief, and suddenly, he pointed to the soldier in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "That...... Then they ......"
Gao Xiang smiled bitterly: "These 30,000 troops are all Xiaoguo Army, in other words, the Xiaoguo Army has mastered half of the city defense, and it is no problem to enter Liao Tunnel City." Maybe at this time, the Xiaoguo army has already entered the city in a big way! ”
"You...... You guys...... How could you ......" Gai Yuan's face turned pale as snow in an instant, and his whole person seemed to be much older.
"This is the territory of Yan Kingdom! Gai Yuan, to be honest, do you think we can stop the Xiaoguo Army now? The tribe is fighting against the Liaodong Kingdom, and there is no way to send reinforcements. Death can only increase casualties! ”
"Liaodong Kingdom, Liaodong Kingdom and Xiaoguo Army have enmity, and they will never let Xiaoguo Army attack us and put pressure on the tribe. Don't they know that if we are defeated, his Liaodong Kingdom will not be much better. ”
Gao Xiang said lightly: "The Xiaoguo Army and the Liaodong Kingdom have reached an agreement not to invade each other. At this time, Liaodong will not go to war with the Xiaoguo army. Having said that, if the Xiaoguo army attacks Liaodong, do you think we will send troops to assist? ”
Gai Yuan said that it was impossible to send troops to help, and maybe he would take advantage of the fire to rob and seize the territory from Liaodong.
"You bastards, traitors, be punished!" A thousand people will point at Gao Xiang and A Qi and say sharply, he is a person from Liao Tunnel City, but his hands are stained with the blood of the Han people, if the Xiaoguo army enters the city, who knows what will happen.
"Kill!" "Woo Woo ......"
The scene turned the shouting thousand people into standing hedgehogs, and this scene made the generals realize that their situation was not very good.
"Descend or die!" Wei Dong shouted sharply.
"Down, don't you think! Sinners of you two tribes! Gai Yuan glared at Ah Qiqi and Gao Xiang, and roared angrily.
"Kill...... Not a single one to stay! Xue Lei's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted loudly. The reason why they were surrounded but not killed was not because they really wanted them to surrender, but because of Gao Xiang's willingness to cooperate. Of course, if the other party is unwilling to surrender, then the only way is to kill. For these people, there is a chance to kill, and Wei Dong will naturally not let it go. He understood Zhao Xun's meaning very well, the guards in the city, the local nobles, and the landlords would definitely have to be cleaned up at that time.
"Xiuxiuxiu......" arrows flew sideways, and more than seventy or eighty people were shrouded in the rain of arrows, although some of them begged for mercy and cried and surrendered, but Xue Lei naturally ignored them.
"Alas......" Gao Xiang sighed sadly and didn't say anything.
"My lord, the eight hundred guards of the Evil Army have all been killed, and none of them have escaped the net!"
"Very good, open the city gate, take the army into the city, and recover the Liao Tunnel City!"
South Gate!
"General, there's a signal from the city!"
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Come, the whole army is marching in!" ”
"Open the city gates, put the drawbridge!"
Zhao Xun, who had always been nervous about the situation in the city, was completely relieved after seeing Wei Dong above the south city gate. Since there are no accidents, it means that everything is under control, and this Liao Tunnel City is already in hand.
Like the southern city, the eastern gates were opened, and the army slowly marched into the city, heading to the west and north.
"Raise the flag, sound the trumpet!" Seeing that the inspected Yan Jun found out, Zhao Xun no longer hesitated, and immediately asked people to raise the banner and sweep the two gates.
"What are you...... They're in town! ”
"How so?"
The earth-shattering shout of "kill ......" resounded in the sky, and immediately woke up the people in the city.
"The Xiaoguo Army has entered the city! Hurry up and inform the general! ”
"The general went to the East Camp to discuss matters and never came back!"
"What should I do?"
In the barracks, the guards suddenly found that their superiors had all disappeared, and there was no unified command, and the army was advancing or retreating, in chaos.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Captain Zhao Kang of Su Ziyan looked at the Yan army intercepted in front, smiled coldly, and shouted loudly.
Thousands of men and horses armed with crossbows were a rain of arrows against the chaotic and disorderly soldiers who had just emerged from the camp, and most of the defenders who came running came with swords, their armor was still incomplete, and they kept screaming and falling to the ground for a while.
The cavalry battalion under the command of the Xiaoguo army is equipped with hand crossbows, which is light and fast. Although one arrow at a time, the loading is slow. But at this time it is divided into several batches, one to shoot, one to wait, and one to prepare. Advancing in a queue, bursts of continuous rain of arrows stunned the Yan army that came in a hurry. After the large-scale formation was gone, the cavalry frantically pursued and killed, completely annihilating the enemy army, and on the street leading to Xicheng, the Yan army fell one by one, and the ground was covered with corpses all at once.
The army ruthlessly swept away the Yan army on the road all the way, and the right and rear armies quickly arrived in the west and north cities. After they raised the heads of the generals of the various armies, except for a few who fled from the city, some surrendered, and one died in the battle without intending to resist!
But the soldiers who escaped from the city also failed to run far, and they were all killed by the Xiaoguo army that intercepted outside!
"Xicheng has fallen!" "The North City has fallen!" "Wansheng ......"
The Liao Tunnel City in the dark night was suddenly filled with the cheers of the Xiaoguo soldiers, and among the torches lit like stars all over the city, there were joyful and excited Xiaoguo soldiers everywhere.
The formation came to the Marshal's Mansion easily and stood in front of the Marshal's Mansion. By this time, the entire Liao Tunnel City had finally been taken down by him. His goal of recovering the three provinces is also approaching step by step.
"General, there are still remnants of the Hideaway soldiers in the city, what should we do with them?" Xue Lei was covered in red armor and asked with a smile.
"General, you promised me not to kill the innocent people in the city!" Gao Xiang looked at Zhao Xun nervously on the side.
"Okay, let's let the ordinary people go this time, but the wandering soldiers must not be spared. Whoever holds a sharp sword and does not return home! No mercy! Mountain Camp, Fire Camp, patrol the whole city! Infantry army and two mansions, clean up the remnants! ”
Seeing Zhao Xun say this, Gao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and Ah Qiqi on the side was like a mouse seeing a cat, bowing his head and not daring to make a mistake.
