Chapter 649: Raid 3
Although Ji Yun of Beicheng got the news, although he led the army in time to kill in a hurry to the east, although he asked the Governor of the Governor's Mansion to protect the military captain, equivalent to Qiu Lin, the general of the Governor's Mansion Xu Jie's direct pro-army, to organize the young people of the whole city to prepare to defend the city and counterattack. However, the Sanyang Army did not give him too much time for each article.
To say that Ji Yun has also been taking the Shanyang Army as an imaginary enemy, and has been arranging it for several days, and he has been careful and careful. Even if it snowed heavily, he was never careless. However, after all, he never expected that the Shanyang army would attack so quickly, and there would be a Shanyang army in the city, and there would be more than a thousand people. Of course, his poor command is also one of the failures.
Above the eastern city, the desperate defense of the Yanzhou government army did not buy much time for the defenders of the city, and in less than a moment, under the condition of internal and external attacks, the heavy city gate had been completely cracked open, and the suspended suspension bridge was slowly lowered. At this point, the gateway of Qi County, the seat of Jiyin Prefecture, was opened to the Shanyang Army like this.
"Kill!"
Captain Xu Qing shouted, waved the horizontal knife fiercely, and hurriedly rushed up without waiting for the suspension bridge to land, taking the lead in entering the city. Under the city gate, only dozens of soldiers were on both sides to welcome the army into the city. Before the reinforcements of the defenders were yet to be traced, thousands of troops rushed in like a mighty wave, with a sweeping momentum......
…………
"Report! Lord Changshi, I don't know who set fire to the road ahead, and in addition, many mansions were set on fire in the surrounding streets. Just as Ji Yun hurried to the east gate with reinforcements, the soldiers in front reported to him the news that made him very unhappy.
"Report ...... Lord Qiyu, the Assassin's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion in the city were attacked by unknown thieves, and they set fire to the palace. Another piece of news reached Ji Yun's ears.
Ji Yun's face was pale, he took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice: "Don't pay attention to the others, pass the order, and immediately find a suitable way to go, we must rush to the east gate as quickly as possible." The rest of the matters were left to Captain Qiu Linqiu. Later, he will gather 30,000 young men, and he will naturally be able to quell the riots in the city. ”
Even if he doesn't understand military affairs anymore, Ji Yun at this moment also knows that the most important thing in front of him is to guard the east gate and keep the Shanyang Army out. As long as the Shanyang army can't enter the city, it's not a problem. There were many riots and internal reactions in the city, but they could not shake the rule of the Yanzhou army over the city. But if the city is broken by the Shanyang army, it will still be a big trouble, and it will cause a big change.
The more worried you are, the more things will go wrong. Bypassing the blocked street in front of me, I was interrupted by a soldier who had arrived in a hurry less than three hundred meters. Looking at the panicked expression on the soldier's face, looking at his somewhat trembling body, Ji Yun felt a little bad in his heart.
"Your Excellency...... Adults are not good! Sanyo Military ...... The Shanyang Army has already captured the East Gate and is in! The soldier reported to Ji Yunyu tremblingly.
"What?" Ji Yun immediately stood on the spot, his mind blank. After a while, he came back to his senses and exclaimed, "You say...... The Sanyang Army came in from the East Gate? Then he roared angrily, "A thousand defenders can't resist a little? Who is the East Gate Keeper? When chop! ”
The soldier trembled, "Yes, my lord. The Sanyang army had already broken through the east gate and killed in. As his subordinates saw with their own eyes, he had 10,000 soldiers and subordinates. As for the defenders of the city, it is estimated that they have all been killed. ”
Ji Yunyuan opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "How is it possible? How so? I'm already prepared, why is this happening? What a Shanyang army, it is impossible to play so many chess pieces in the city......"
"Lord Changshi, the top priority now is to stop the soldiers of the Shanyang Army from entering the city, as long as they can be driven out of the city, they can be recovered!" At this time, the Israeli officer beside Ji Yun said urgently. The officer is also very contemptuous of Ji Yun's current appearance. When is it now, as a coach, I am still here in a daze, I don't know what to do. Of course, these can only be what this officer thinks in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it in front of Ji Yun. He knew very well what the status of this Changshi Master was, and what kind of power it represented. Even the captains of the Governor's Mansion are as well-behaved as rabbits under him, don't talk about them ordinary officers.
Being said by the officer, Ji Yun suddenly came to his senses, calmed down, and said urgently; "You're right, give the order at once, and hasten to the east gate. If there is anyone who stands in the way, it will be killed. In addition, tell the soldiers that whoever kills an enemy will be rewarded with ten silver coins. Those who kill five people will be promoted to one level. ”
Under Ji Yun's bounty, the morale of the Yanzhou Mansion sergeant was greatly boosted, and then he accelerated towards the east gate, among them, on the road, there were three consecutive people burning items in the road to block the road. Ji Yunqi almost wanted to vomit blood, and he secretly made up his mind that after repelling the Shanyang army this time, he must clean up the city of Qi County, stabilize the stability of Qi County, and consolidate the rule of the Yanzhou Mansion Army.
However, before he could reach the east gate, the two armies officially met. More than 10,000 armies met on the main street, and the burning torches illuminated the night sky.
"Xu Qing, you have 2,000 men to take the north gate directly to welcome the brothers from outside the city into the city. Then he directly rushed to kill the governor's mansion and the general's mansion in the city, and surrendered the enemy army. Stabilize the city as quickly as possible. As for those who refuse to surrender, those who wantonly loot and those who take advantage of the fire, they will be killed! ”
"Zhang Le, you have 2,000 men to take the south gate, and recruit the enemy along the way and declare that our Shanyang army has broken the city, so that the people stay at home and do not come out."
"Soldiers, kill with me! Let them see tonight how the prestige of my Shanyang Army came about. After hurriedly issuing the military order, Tang Bin led an army of 4,000 to rush to the opposite side. Suddenly, it was like two waves meeting and stirring up splashes. However, the spray here is red. The sound of screams and weapons colliding spread on this snowy night, one side rushed bravely to kill, the other side desperately intercepted, and in an instant, countless soldiers on both sides fell here, becoming an embellishment on the snow......
…………
Xu Qing, who was heading north, with two thousand soldiers, bypassed the place where Tang Bin and Ji Yun were fighting like a flood, and rushed towards the north gate without stopping. Along the way, the defenders who had just arrived from all over the place or the ruffians and routs who took advantage of the situation in the city to loot were simply like praying mantis blocking the car, relentlessly run over by the army, and were instantly swallowed up in this turbulent tide.
After mercilessly sweeping away the Yanzhou Mansion troops on the road all the way, Xu Qing and the others quickly arrived under the north gate, and at this time there was still a stalemate with the outside of the city. Although there was no war, the soldiers on the city walls were also very nervous, after all, the gains and losses in the city were related to their lives.
"Kill!" Xu Qing didn't stop at all, and ordered sharply.
"Listen, the east and south of the city have been broken by our army, and your army has also been surrendered by our army. If you still want to live, surrender early. ”
During the siege of "those who descend do not kill", the Shanyang soldiers shouted various slogans and quickly attacked the city wall.
Zhou Ling, who was outside the city, also saw the situation above the city gate, and the earth-shattering sound of the battle made them hear it clearly. Although they stayed outside the city with them, they could not do anything about the walls without siege equipment. But now, inside the city gate, it must be your own army attacking the city, and at this moment, it is a good time to attack from inside and outside.
"Archers, up! Suppress them for me! Scratch your hook hand and throw it at me! Let's go up! Zhou Ling gave an order, and more than 1,500 soldiers waiting outside the city began to act outside the city to cooperate with the actions of the soldiers in the city.
In the city of Qi County, the defense of the south gate is the weakest, after all, the Shanyang Army's baggage team came from the north, and the south gate was the last place to pass through. If the Shanyang Army's baggage team has not been discovered at the south gate, it can only be said that the defenders are too wasteful. Therefore, there are not many defenders left here, only more than 800 people. As soon as Lieutenant Zhang Le led 2,000 soldiers to arrive, under the slogan that those who surrendered would not be killed, the defenders did not hold out for long, and less than 1,000 defenders surrendered together. So far, among the four gates of Qi County, the south gate is second only to the east gate and was taken by the Shanyang army.
"Kill!"
Tang Bin roared a tiger, and the spear in his hand stabbed out sharply with the force of thunder, killing an officer of the Yanzhou Mansion Army on the spot, and provoking it with a spear, and then his eyes were split, and he roared loudly: "Our army has broken the city, put down the weapon!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”
"Put down your weapons! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
Thousands of soldiers shouted angrily, but the weapons in their hands were wielded more quickly, and their morale was getting higher and higher. At this time, Ji Yun's face was pale, not only because of the current battle situation, but also because of this bloody battlefield. Ji Yun is a civilian official after all, and in the real battlefield, this scene of countless soldiers fighting each other is naturally not a place where he dares to appear.
The morale of the Shanyang army was greatly boosted, and the Yanzhou army began to be at a disadvantage, and some soldiers also began to surrender to the Shanyang army and were driven aside for temporary detention. Seeing this scene, Ji Yun began to lose much hope for tonight's battle to defend the city. Up to now, reinforcements from all over the country have not arrived in formation, but in the form of broken troops. In this way, not only did it not play a beneficial role, but it made the morale of the corporal under his command plummet.
Immediately after the South Gate, the North Gate was also quickly taken by the Shanyang Army. Of course, the biggest reason is that the Shanyang army in the city came from the east gate, which suddenly broke the confidence of the defenders. When they didn't know what the situation in the city was, these soldiers were not willing to fight to the death for Xu Jie. Especially after the military law temporarily appointed by Qiu Lin and Ji Yun was shot by arrows, the various departments began to be subordinate to each other, and some of them were the first to surrender, and as a result, the whole army surrendered to the enemy.
The north gate was wide open, and more than 1,500 soldiers outside the city roared in, and nearly 2,000 soldiers in the city also left some of the prisoners to escort the prisoners, and rushed towards the junction of the east and the north, where the two armies were facing the battlefield. As long as the Yanzhou army is defeated, then it will not be a problem for the Shanyang army to occupy Qi County.
"Kill ......"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
When Ji Yun was commanding the army and the Shanyang army to fight, an army appeared on his side and behind him, rushing in diagonally, like two sharp daggers, and the bronze mirror of his waist was fierce. The army of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army was in disarray, and it was divided into three large pieces, and then it was cut into small pieces, and then it was heavily surrounded by the Shanyang Army.
"Wait for the north gate and the south gate to be lost, and those who descend will not be killed, otherwise, they will be killed!" Tang Bin roared. For these ordinary soldiers, according to Feng Ziming's meaning, there is no need to kill too much. After all, they are also the people here, and capturing them can better make the people of this place accept them. Of course, if these soldiers are determined to work hard for Xu Jie, they can only be killed, just like the pro-guards in the Governor's Mansion, then they will naturally be killed.
Tang Bin shot and killed the three soldiers of Yanzhou Mansion who rushed forward, and roared sharply: "Put down your weapons, don't kill those who surrender, otherwise, refuse to surrender!" Ji Yun, do you want to watch all these soldiers die in battle? The general situation has been decided, and it is just a dying struggle, as for sending thousands of soldiers to death because of your military orders? ”
With Tang Bin's shouting, the main street where the two armies were fighting gradually stopped fighting, and the surrounding streets also began to gradually stop. However, the remaining 2,000 Yanzhou Mansion soldiers have been surrounded by five or six thousand Shanyang troops and trapped in the center. Not only that, but the soldiers of the surrounding Shanyang Army also waved the horizontal sword and spear in their hands hoarsely, and the wolf howled in response to Tang Bin's shout. During the siege, Ji Yun, who was riding on a war horse, had a pale face, his eyes were scattered, his face was bloody, and he had already lost his usual elegant bearing.
Ji Yun looked back, around him, hundreds of soldiers were covered in blood, at this moment, his expression was low, his heart was cold, they didn't want to fight, and they couldn't fight.
Seeing that his corporal was besieging the Yanzhou Mansion Army, Tang Bin said to Ji Yun, who was heavily guarded by the Yanzhou Mansion Army on the opposite side: "Ji Changshi, the overall situation has been decided, and you are powerless to turn the sky around." Let's go down! My Shanyang Army took over here, isn't it as good as Xu Jie and the Yanzhou Mansion Army? What is the local policy of our Shanyang Army, and what is the discipline of the non-commissioned soldiers, Ji Changshi should be very clear. You should know who governs this bitter land better, don't you? ”
Ji Yun said sharply: "You Shanyang Army, treacherous, shameless villain!" We are all friendly forces, and we fight the armed guards together. However, while our army was conquering the Wuwei Army, they raided the rear of our army. Shameless, with such deeds, how dare you say Shanyang Army in front of me? Regarding Tang Bin's words, he Ji Yun was not interested at all. He Ji Yun replaced Feng Ziming to take over the post of Changshi. If he surrendered to Feng Ziming, his Ji Yun's face would be lost.
Tang Bin sneered: "Ji Yun, don't be embarrassed!" When Xu Jie's old puppet betrayed Shanyang Mansion and Liangzhou Mansion to the Tang Army as a condition for the Tang Army to attack the Wuwei Army in the south, why didn't you write your justice? When Xu Jie regarded the tens of thousands of government troops of the Shanyang Army as an outcast, why didn't he see you writing your justice? In order to show his reputation, he used the lives of thousands of soldiers as bargaining chips. You are the one who is shameless, and the captain of Pontus is in order to spare the deaths of these thousands of soldiers, and in order not to make every family in the city scorn. So, Ji Yun, what about your choice? ”
"What? The reason why the Tang army went south was because Lord Du invited him to attack the Wuwei army? However, since why did the coalition army sacrifice the tens of thousands of government troops in Shanyang Mansion? ”
"Wouldn't it? The Governor would do ...... like this" Suddenly, the soldiers present were discussing. Not only that, but they also looked at Ji Yun, perhaps waiting for his answer. The answer to whether to surrender or not and the matter of Sanyang Mansion and Liangzhou Mansion......
"You ......" He couldn't explain Xu Jie's betrayal of Shanyang Mansion and Liangzhou Mansion.
"What? I don't say much? Ji Yun, you are a scholar, do you dare to say that what I said is false? Tang Bin said in a loud voice.
"Alas...... Big things go...... Wear my order, surrender! Ji Yun sighed and ordered. Then, the long sword in his hand was pulled sideways in the air, and a stream of blood sprayed from his neck. Although he ordered to surrender, Ji Yun committed suicide to make his mind clear......
Before Ji Yunren landed, the sword in his hand hit the ground first, hitting the hard bluestone slab with a crisp sound, and the soldiers of the Yanzhou Mansion who were waiting for the main general to give the order let out a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly threw away the blade in his hand. Regarding Ji Yun's suicide, the soldiers are also paying attention to it at the moment.
…………
"Report ...... The Governor's Mansion has been taken......"
"Report ...... The enemy army at the West Gate surrendered! ”
With one good news after another, the enemy forces in the city were gradually cleared. Qi County in the dark night, at this time, the city was full of the cheers of the Shanyang army, in the much smaller snowflakes, in the city like starry torches, everywhere was the joy and excitement of the Shanyang soldiers......
At this moment, Tang Bin's whole person was relaxed, he stood in front of the gate of the Qi County Governor's Mansion, and his mood was much more relaxed. At this time, the entire Qi County was basically taken down by him, and the next step was to settle this place and turn it into his own jurisdiction. Of course, the follow-up civil servants will arrive tomorrow with the baggage guards guarding the makeshift camp.
"Come on, seal this place, no one is allowed to enter without a military order!" After learning that the Governor's Mansion had been emptied, Tang Bin gave a sharp order. Although the Governor's Mansion was the center of Qi County, he also knew that except for Zhao Xun, no one here could enter without a military order.
"The order was issued to take all the soldiers to the barracks for placement, and the officers were to be kept separately. If there is a change, don't talk about killing! Seeing that there were many prisoners in the city, Tang Bin could only wait for dawn before making other arrangements.
"After checking the treasury and counting it, it will be sealed and waiting for the handover of civil officials tomorrow. Military judges strictly inspect the affairs of the government treasury, and if there is a private thief, he will be killed. ”
Early in the morning of the second day, after receiving the news, the temporary camp sent 4,000 young men to the city to respond, and hurried to the city, preparing to take over the city. In addition to food and grass, there are also civil officials accompanying this baggage team, and they will all take over local government affairs and govern the locality.
The snowflakes in the sky finally stopped, and there was even a faint amount of sunlight, but then they were obscured by the clouds in the sky and disappeared from view. The climate was very cold, and there was a small north wind. The fighting in the city stopped at night, and then, under the coercion of the Shanyang army, the soldiers also cleaned up the battlefield and moved the dead soldiers one by one. Because some of the guards were recruited by the people of the city, not all of the corpses were burned, and they were to be returned to their families one by one.
The killing of the night in the city was well known to the soldiers in the city. They knew better that at this moment the owner of the city had changed. The soldiers patrolling the street outside the gate could let them see that this was not the Yanzhou Mansion Army, but the Shanyang Army that was declared last night.
However, the people of the city did not dare to come out lightly, and the terrible screams of last night made them feel terrified and frightened. But many people quietly pushed open the windows of their homes and observed the movement outside through the cracks. In the past, the soldiers patrolling the streets were all Yanzhou Mansion soldiers, and the people in the city were naturally very clear, but now, those familiar Yanzhou Mansion soldiers are all gone, and all the soldiers patrolling the streets are soldiers in another kind of armor. According to what the patrol soldiers said last night, they are the Shanyang soldiers.
Although the people in the city have heard that the people under the rule of the Shanyang Army are living well, they have heard of it after all. In front of the army, no one is not afraid, no one is not afraid.
