Chapter 387: Attack on the City

Wang Dou led the cavalry, took advantage of the night, and slowly came to the bank of the Han River in the southwest of Fancheng. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, everything was silent, and only the movements of some patrolling people on the walls of Fancheng could be seen from a distance. Looking at Xiangyang City on the opposite bank from the Han River, the Han River is turbulent, the city is looming in the fog, and the lanterns on the city walls of the city towers are even more flickering and dim, vaguely unclear.

The spring night was cold, especially the riverside was even colder, Wang Dou's whole body was shrouded in the red cotton cloak, just looking at Xiangyang City on the other side of the river without moving. And the soldiers behind him also dismounted and stood quietly, motionless in the cold wind.

Time passed moment by moment, I don't know how long it took, the surroundings were quieter, and the silent night only heard the sound of Fancheng beating the watchman.

Finally, the night of the ox passed, and the time came to the fifth day of the first month of February, Wang Dou thought to himself: "According to history, the twenty-eight horsemen who entered the city should have acted, right?" ”

The night leaked four times, and the city of Xiangyang was suddenly boiling, and I don't know how many people were shouting, faintly sandwiched with some tearing sounds. Then the city was full of fires, and there were even more chickens and dogs. There were more and more fires burning in the city, and finally there were more fireworks and candles, which were far away for more than ten miles, and they were also clearly visible.

At this time, the defenders of Fancheng were also alarmed, and many people rushed to the city with shouts and pointed in the direction of Xiangyang City.

When the sky was slightly bright, I suddenly heard Xiangyang City shouting all over the city: "The thieves have entered the city!" ”

Then I saw the city gates open everywhere, and many officers and soldiers and civilians rushed out in a panic.

It is the side of Linhan Gate, and the city gate is wide open, and many people follow the pontoon bridge, crying and shouting straight to Fancheng.

Seeing the situation in front of him, seeing that the soldiers of the Shunxiang army shook their heads, Qin Yi said hatefully: "It's the bandits again, otherwise Xiangyang City is tall, and An can take it so lightly!" ”

Wang Dou watched quietly, with a feeling of witnessing history, and he exhaled: "Okay, the time has come, the whole army will act!" ”

But it was said that the defenders of Fancheng were frightened, and the thieves suddenly entered Xiangyang City, and heard that the city was full of thieves, should you cut the pontoon bridge between Xiangyang and Fancheng? lest the thief grass cross the Han River along the pontoon bridge and come to the foot of Fancheng.

Just as several subordinate generals were arguing endlessly, and the garrison of Fancheng was hesitant, they suddenly saw a team of cavalry running under the southwest city, all of them in strict armor, all of them with elite war horses, and their momentum was overwhelming, and they were all shocked.

But I heard the general who led the team shouting: "What happened in Xiangyang City? ”

A thousand always hesitated to rush down to the city and said, "You are? ”

The general said proudly: "I am under the command of General Dingguo, the general of Xuanfu Zhendong Road, and my division won a great victory in Luoyang, and the army of 100,000 thieves was defeated. According to the text of the Ministry of War, the starry night galloped into Sichuan, rushed day and night, and arrived in Xiangyang today, what happened on the other side? ”

Everyone on the city wall was stunned, and then the general? Luoyang victory? Xingchi comes to the rescue?

A series of news shocked them speechless, and before the official general of Fan Cheng in the city could answer, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and under the west city wall, a large force of cavalry rushed under the black pressure. All of them are well-armoured, high-headed horses, spears and bright knives, and the momentum is soaring, especially under the banner of the word "king", a general coldly swept his gaze.

was swept away by the general's gaze, and everyone in the city was cold, and they couldn't say what they wanted to say.

But he saw that the general looked at the other side for a moment, and waved his hand: "Hmph, just a rogue, you also want to capture Xiangyang?" Come with me into the city and put down the thieves! ”

With the sound of hooves, the cavalry from nowhere along the cross-river pontoon bridge from Fancheng to Xiangyang, rumbling and galloping, in the sound of "Wansheng", went straight into the Hanmen, leaving the guards and defenders who looked at each other on Fancheng. There are also those people of Xiangyang City who were surprised, saw the army coming, and dodged to the side in fear.

After a long time, the Fancheng garrison asked a thousand generals beside him: "Lao Zuo, you said, the one who crossed the pontoon bridge just now is really the Dingguo general Wang Dou?" It can't be a thief, right? ”…,

Na Qian said: "It should be that the general of Dingguo is good, that Wang Dou is known as the three armies of Yongguan, in Julu and Pinggu, but he killed a lot of Tartars, who dares to pretend?" Besides, look at their armor, their horses, their momentum, and what officers and soldiers, and thieves can pretend to be? ”

Everyone nodded, and Wang Dou swept it at a glance, and everyone came down in a cold sweat, that kind of momentum really couldn't be pretended. There was another Qianzong said: "Just now they said that Wang Dou won a great victory in Luoyang and the thieves were defeated, which is true and false." ”

The previous Qian general said: "It should be true, there will be news about this matter soon, and there will be a report from the imperial court, just take a look." ”

For a while, everyone was excited, Wang Dou's name, they were all famous, and I heard that Yang Gebu attached great importance to Wang Dou, and urged Wang Dou's army to arrive many times. With such a strong army in front, if they follow behind to rescue Xiangyang from danger and turn the tide, it will be a great achievement.

However, everyone hesitated again, and Xiangyang City didn't know how many thieves had come, so don't check the cheap and accompany yourself in, or defend the city, it can be regarded as a credit.

Looking at Xiangyang City opposite, the Fan City garrison sighed and said, "The divine soldiers descended from the sky, what a coincidence!" ”

At this time, Xiangyang City was in a mess, and thieves were constantly rushing in from the "Xicheng Gate", and the officers and soldiers were running everywhere, without the power to resist.

The people of Xiangyang either dragged their families and fled from the city, or closed the door tightly, and the whole family hugged each other and trembled. I heard that it was still a thief, which was really unexpected.

There are also some ruffians who are dissatisfied with the government and have long wanted to join the thieves get excited, and follow the people in the city to fan the flames.

Xiangyang suddenly entered the thief, and no one could have imagined that it would be like this.

It turned out that on the evening of the same day, Liu Wenxiu led the elite 28 cavalry of the old battalion to the West City Gate, and then took out the captured Yang Lichang Dial Command Talisman to show the officers and soldiers, and Zhang Kejian, the deputy envoy of the military garrison at that time, was present...... Seeing that the talisman was fine, he opened the customs and let Liu Wenxiu and others enter the city.

After Liu Wenxiu led the 28 horsemen into the city, he quickly found the internal response, and created chaos at the fourth watch that night, set fires everywhere, attacked the garrison officers and soldiers, and at the same time Pan Duao and others in the city responded together.

Soon after Zhang Xianzhong raised his army in Gucheng, he was defeated in Agate Mountain, and the military advisor Pan Duao and others, as well as Zhang Xianzhong's wife and concubines, the Jiao clan and the Gao clan, were captured and imprisoned in Xiangyang City Prison. Unexpectedly, Wang Cheng, the prefect of Xiangyang, was a womanizer, and when he saw that the Jiao clan and others were beautiful, he moved his mind. Pan Duao threaded the needle and threaded it and made it a good thing. This Pan Duao was instrumental in mediation, so he also relaxed his care, and he came and went freely in the prison, and he took the opportunity to respond to the civil strife in the city.

In the chaos, Liu Wenxiu and others opened the "Xicheng Gate" in the west of Xiangyang City, and Zhang Xianzhong, who had noticed the movement of Xiangyang City, immediately sent a large army to rush into the city, which made Xiangyang City even more panicked and boiling, and the city gates were opened on all sides, and the people rushed to escape.

There is Xiangwangfu in the city, located in the south of Xiangyang City, at this time Xiangwangfu is alarmed, Xiangwang Zhu Xuming is even more anxious to get up, bring Guiyang King Zhu Changfa, Fuqing King Zhu Changcheng together on the Duanli Gate to watch, see the city in chaos, everywhere heard the sound of thieves entering the city, all shocked faceless.

was in the middle of the dagger, but saw Zhang Kejian, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, Wang Chengzeng, the prefect of Xiangyang, Li Tianjue, the director of Xiangyang, and Jiang Yueguang, the official of the bureau, and others, under the escort of some officers and soldiers, fled to the palace in panic. ”

Wang Chengzeng, the prefect of Xiangyang, cried: "Lord, the thieves have entered the city, and now the city is full of thieves, we need to escape quickly." ”…,

King Xiang was shocked and said: "Sacrifice the thief...... Got into town? Aren't they in Sichuan, why did they go into the city? ”

Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, said angrily: "There are guards in the four gates, what about them? ”

Li Tianjue, who was acting in Xiangyang, said hatefully: "I fled, I don't know where to go, what is the use of these horsemen, what is the use of the state raising soldiers!" ”

Zhu Changcheng, the king of Fuqing, said urgently: "Let's also escape, stay in the city and wait for death, yes, we can go north along the pontoon bridge and enter Fancheng." ”

The magistrate Jiang Yueguang shook his head and said: "I can't escape, now the city is full of thieves, the officers and soldiers are all scattered, we will be caught as soon as we go out, and we can only hold the palace." ”

Everyone is even more panicked, the officers and soldiers in Xiangyang have dispersed, is it useful to rely on the hundreds of captains in the palace?

King Xiang was in tears: "Heaven will die and I will die." ”

Seeing that the prince was like this, all the officials were also together

Suddenly, at the "Gongchen Gate" and "Linhan Gate" near the Han River in the north, there was a tsunami-like voice from the mountains: "Wansheng!" ”

The momentum is majestic, full of endless majestic and heroic meaning.

For a moment, the whole city was silent, and everyone's eyes turned to that side: "What a sound?" ”

Zhu Changcheng, the king of Fuqing, trembled all over: "Has Bei'er also entered the thief?" ”

Dozens, hundreds, of thieves and horsemen continued to enter the city, screaming and screaming, and rode through the streets and alleys, and under the guidance of the inside, they seized every gate and every point.

From time to time, he also slashed the unlucky officers and soldiers and civilians beside him to the ground, and when they saw these fierce thieves, the people either ran screaming, or hurriedly hid in the house, or hurriedly knelt on the side of the road, hoping that these thieves would show mercy and spare their lives.

Zhang Xianzhong's advance department sent Bai Wenxuan, Ma Wu, and Wang Xingguo into the city, and saw that the entry into the city went smoothly, and then sent his son Ai Nengqi into the city, and finally surrounded by Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, led his most elite old battalion soldiers, and rushed into Xiangyang City on a fast horse.

Looking at the panicked soldiers and civilians in the mighty and sturdy city, Zhang Xianzhong was very proud, and laughed: "Haha, donkey ball, Xiangyang City finally fell into the hands of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu took the city on twenty-eight horses, this clever plan will not be worse than that Zhuge Kongming." ”

remembered that the most important thing was to control the Xiangwang Mansion, although the righteous son Ai Nengqi had already led hundreds of people to run there, but Zhang Xianzhong was still not at ease, if he let the Xiangwang family run, half of his mind would be wasted.

He led the old battalion to ride his horse to the palace, and at this moment, there was a whistling sound from the north of Xiangyang City.

Zhang Xianzhong frowned: "Your mother's, who is yelling over there?" ”

Li Dingguo followed Zhang Xianzhong's side, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

There was a neigh, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the north gate, and a voice shouted: "The soldiers and civilians of Xiangyang City listen to it, the general of Xuanfu Town East Road, and the general of Dingguo, Wang Dou, lead the army to help." The whole city was ordered to destroy the thieves, and the people immediately returned home and closed their doors, and did not stay in the market. ”

"The benevolent and righteous division of the Shunxiang Army only offers thieves, there is no harassment, the people do not need to panic, and wait for the chaos to be peaceful!"

The voice came out, and all the grass people were stunned.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the north of the city, and the ground of the entire city shook like hands. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
