The Sui army had already opened the city gate hole, and nearly a hundred huge stones blocked in the city gate hole were dragged into the moat by the Sui army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Blocking the gate with boulders is not actually an effective method, while blocking the city gate hole, the boulders also block the defenders' counterattack against the attacking Sui army, but instead allow the enemy to calmly drag the boulders away one by one in the city cave.

As the last layer of boulders was dragged away, the city cave was suddenly unblocked, and the defenders could finally shoot arrows into the city cave, but it was too late at this time, dozens of Sui soldiers shouted, and pushed away the two boulders that blocked the road at the end, and the Sui soldiers began to rush into the city.

As Duan Decao said, Liang Shidu's strength has gradually been exhausted in the two years of fighting with the Tang Army, and he was struggling to survive two months ago, if it wasn't for the Yan'an County crisis to transfer Duan Decao away, Liang Shidu would have been completely wiped out.

Although the Liang division desperately recruited more than 20,000 troops two months ago, it was no longer able to return to the sky, the people's hearts were lost, the army had no fighting spirit, and no one was willing to die for him anymore, so when the Sui army opened the point of the North City Gate, it was like a needle piercing a balloon, 'Bang! The whole line of the defenders collapsed, and more than 20,000 forcibly recruited soldiers took the opportunity to flee home, and even the original soldiers fled with them.

Only more than 2,000 soldiers were left under the leadership of the general Wen Changqing in the north gate and rushed into the city of the Sui army fierce battle, at this time, 3,000 cavalry under the leadership of Luo Cheng rushed over, the soldiers on the drawbridge have avoided, the cavalry rushed across the drawbridge like a gallop, rushed towards the city.

"Soldiers in front of you dodge!"

Luo Shixin shouted, and the soldiers of the Sui Army who were fighting fiercely heard Luo Cheng's voice and shouted, "General Luo is here!" ”

The soldiers split like waves, leaving the battlefield, Luo Cheng rushed in first, the war horse was like thunder, and the spear stabbed at Wen Changqing like lightning.

Wen Changqing was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his knife to block, but Luo Cheng's gun had disappeared, Wen Changqing only felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and the spear had pierced his lower abdomen, Luo Cheng sneered, twisted the gun, and pulled out the silver gun along with the intestines.

Wen Changqing screamed, the big knife in his hand fell to the ground, the person sat unsteadily, turned over and fell off the horse, and before his body could land, Luo Cheng stabbed him in the heart with a shot in the air, and when he landed, he was already a corpse.

Luo Chang spear waved, "Kill me!" ”

3,000 cavalry swept into the city, and more than 2,000 Liang divisions were killed crying and screaming.

At the same moment when the Sui army of the brigade entered the city, Liang Shidu and Liang Luoren were rushing towards the north city gate under the escort of hundreds of personal guards, and the soldiers running everywhere made Liang Shidu feel cold for a while, he had already realized that the general trend had gone, and when he was still a mile away from the north city gate, a captain ran towards him and was stopped by Liang Shidu, "How is the situation in Beicheng?" ”

The lieutenant shouted with a cry: "The cavalry of the Sui army has entered the city, General Wen is dead, the king should withdraw quickly!" ”

Liang Shidu's face turned pale with shock, he restrained his war horse, and he didn't know what to do for a while, there were Sui troops outside the four city gates, where did he flee?

Liang Shidu didn't notice that Liang Luoren's face beside him became hideous, and Liang Luoren suddenly pointed to the east, "Look, the king, there seem to be reinforcements over there!" ”

Liang Shidu looked back, and at this moment, Liang Luoren slashed at the back of Liang Shidu's neck from behind, 'Click! With a bang, Liang Shidu's head was chopped up, and he never dreamed that he would die in the hands of his cousin.

Everyone was stunned, Liang Luoren bent down and picked up the head, urged the horse to run towards the Sui army, and shouted desperately: "Master Liang has been killed by me!" Master Liang was killed by me! ”

But what greeted him was a burst of arrows, the Sui cavalry did not see the head in his hand, but thought that this was a desperate enemy general, a hundred crossbow arrows shot at Liang Luoren at the same time, Liang Luoren was hit by more than 20 arrows, killed on the spot, and the head in his hand also rolled to more than ten zhang away, this person killed his brother to seek wealth, and finally gave his own life.

The Liang division was dead, hundreds of guards no longer had the fighting spirit, and they surrendered on their knees, and the Sui army had entered from the east, west, and south gates, and Huile County finally fell on the whole line.

........

The Sui army did not carry out killings in Huile County, as early as before the siege of the city, Zhang Xuan had a strict order that soldiers were not allowed to enter the houses under any pretext, and Liang Shidu's army would not kill as long as they laid down their weapons.

The 3,000 cavalry entered the city just to control all the key points in Huile County, such as warehouses, palaces, city gates, and official offices.

When the Sui army took control of the whole city, it immediately issued a curfew, except for 5,000 soldiers who stayed in the city to patrol and dispose of the corpses, 20,000 attacking soldiers, including cavalry, withdrew from Huile County, and the city of Huile County gradually quieted down, and there were only groups of soldiers patrolling the streets, and the war quickly subsided.

As the day dawned and the curfew was lifted, some bold citizens quietly went out of their homes to check on the situation, all the bodies were removed and disposed of, arrows and broken armor were taken away, and even the large amount of blood at the north gate was washed away, and there was no sign of the siege that had taken place last night.

The streets and alleys were plastered with notices of the Sui army's peace of mind, in which it was clear that the past was not to blame, dozens of military civilian officials divided into ten teams, began to go door to door to appease the residents, inquire about the situation, order in the city has been completely restored, under the Sui army's deliberate pacification, the fear of Huile County gradually disappeared, the heart of happiness rose, more and more people went out of their homes, began to beat gongs and drums to celebrate the fall of Liang Shidu.

Shops in the city have also resumed business, groups of children have fled in the city, and Huile County has returned to its former bustle.

At this time, several carriages slowly drove into the city from the north city under the escort of more than 100 cavalry, the carriage speed was very slow, and the cavalry did not open the way in front, but walked slowly in the crowd, the whole convoy seemed very low-key, and people did not realize the special features of this convoy, many people just looked at it curiously, and walked away quickly.

Inside the carriage, Li Jing smiled at Zhang Xuan and said, "I thought that His Highness was going to destroy the country and enter the city, just like in Pyongyang." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Liang Shidu can't talk about the country as a separatist warlord, and if he enters the city, he is too high-minded, and I don't have that interest." ”

"Actually, it's good to enter the city like this, at least it won't disturb the people."

"Restoring order as soon as possible and reducing interference to the people will help us win the hearts of the people and control Lingwu County."

"The marshal wants to win the hearts of the people, why not reduce or reduce taxes, I think this has the best effect, and it is also logical, the people of Lingwu County have suffered from the brutal rule of Liang Shidu, and they can win the hearts of the people after two years of tax exemption, why not?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "But Liang Shidu did not exploit the people of Lingwu County excessively, on the contrary, this is his lair, and he also publicly stated that he would reduce the tax for ten years, but he angered the people in the two things of collecting iron tools and finally forcibly conscripting young and strong people into the army, in addition, there is no disaster here, and there is no starvation everywhere, I have no reason to reduce taxes for them, and it is better not to open the opening of tax reductions, today we capture Lingwu County to reduce taxes for them, so tomorrow we capture Shu County to reduce taxes, If we don't cut taxes, will Shu County think that we are discriminatory? Even Qi County and Wei County have more reason to reduce taxes, how can there be a reason to be lenient to the enemy and mean to their own people? ”

Li Jing was ashamed and said: "The handsome man is knowledgeable, and he is ashamed of his humble position!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "What kind of insight is this, if you are not in his position, you don't want to seek his position, don't forget, I am not only your commander, I am also the regent of the Northern Sui, and what I said just now was from the position of the regent." ”

"Humble duty understood."

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the cangcheng, the cangcheng is located in the east of the city, it is also a city within a city, imitating the construction of Chang'an Taicang, there are more than 100 huge warehouses in it, each warehouse can store grain ten thousand stones, but this is only a temporary official warehouse, temporarily hoarding the grain produced in the three counties of Hetao, according to the regulations of the Sui Dynasty, every three years, the grain of this warehouse will be transported to replenish the inventory of Yongtong warehouse and Luokou warehouse.

But on the eve of the grain in the warehouse ready to be sent to Luokoucang, Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, and the transportation of grain and grass had to be suspended, so it never started, and finally accumulated millions of stone of grain, but it was cheaper than Liang Shidu.

Zhang Xuan walked out of the carriage, and the marching Sima Jia Runfu walked out quickly, bowed and saluted, "See the big handsome!" ”

"How's the food count?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

Jia Runfu rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Big harvest!" There are a total of 930,000 stone of grain, and the subordinates simply don't know what to do with it. ”

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "This question is very simple, I will ask the navy to come over and transport all the grain back to Zhongdu." ”

Li Jing was a little anxious, "Marshal, you can't transport it all, and our military rations also have to be spent here." ”

Zhang Xuan patted him on the back and smiled, "Don't worry! I will keep a share of the army, and besides, there is still a lot of food in Wuyuan County, which is enough for the army to consume for half a year. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Let's go! Let's hurry up and take a look, I will return to Zhongdu early tomorrow morning, and I don't know when I will come back. ”

Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Xuan walked quickly into the gate of Cangcheng.
