Chapter 288: Arrogance

Chen Jingxuan, who surrounded Zizhou, obtained information through more and more defective soldiers, and learned that Yang Shili in Zizhou had fallen into a desperate situation, and his personal safety was difficult to guarantee, which made him feel that the offensive measures he had taken were completely appropriate, and the army should not rush to attack the city of Zizhou, and the situation of preparing for attack was a greater threat to Yang Shili.

Chen Jingxuan put more energy in the direction of Chengdu, in fact, in the process of conquering Yang Shili, Chen Jingxuan was most worried about Chengdu, he was afraid that the iron-blooded army would attack Chengdu at the moment, after all, Chengdu was his base camp, if there was any turmoil in Chengdu, he would not hesitate to give up the siege of Zizhou and rush back to rescue Chengdu.

Fortunately, after this period of time, Chengdu was safe and sound, the information that came was safe, and the situation around Chengdu was very calm, and there was no sign of the iron-blooded army entering Xichuan.

Chen Jingxuan is quite complacent about this situation, he thinks that the measures he has taken to close the news are very in place, although it is said that in the recent period, the news may have leaked out, but even if Li Rupei knows the news, it is too late to prepare, it takes time for the army to assemble, and the preparation of grain and grass takes time.

Chen Jingxuan intensified the propaganda offensive, and even asked some sergeants who had surrendered to say many words as required, and wrote these words into letters and projected them into the city of Zizhou, so that the sergeants stationed there had no intention of resisting.

This trick played a decisive role.

The two armies are fighting, and the sergeant is most afraid of being slaughtered after defeat, especially in an absolute disadvantaged situation, if there is no way out, the sergeant will instead inspire an extraordinary fighting spirit and fight to the death with the other party, but at this time, if there is a way out, he can save his life. The vast majority of sergeants will choose to lay down their arms and surrender.

Yang Shili hid in the Yamen of the Jiedu for nearly a month, and he stayed at home, that is, he listened to the officers' reports of resistance in the Yamen, and all of his surroundings were pro-soldiers, even if he was an official of the Jiedu Envoy Yamen, if he wanted to see him, he had to go through the approval of his personal soldiers, and at the same time he was searched before he could enter the wing.

Yang Shili knew very well that he would allow such a situation to develop. It doesn't take long, what can be left around him is the pro-soldiers, and when the time comes, after the city of Zizhou is breached, there are only a thousand pro-soldiers around him, and there is no effect, during this period, Yang Shili also thought of using money to motivate the morale of the sergeants, and even imagined that the iron-blooded army could directly attack Chengdu, so that Chen Jingxuan's army that attacked Zizhou could quickly evacuate. Unfortunately, these situations either do not arise or do not have any effect.

Yang Shili has almost reached the end of his rope, with no support on the outside and a collapse on the inside.

The trapped beast is still fighting. Yang Shili knew very well that the surrender of the officers and sergeants under his command might not be a big deal, but he had no way out. Chen Jingxuan will never spare his life, he must be killed to get rid of the troubles completely.

Now that we've come to this point. Always staying in the festival to make the yamen is not a way.

After all, Yang Shili is the general of the Shence Army, and he is still familiar with the army, after careful and careful thinking, he decided to take the initiative to take action, maybe take the initiative to attack, can catch Chen Jingxuan off guard, maybe through a sudden attack, can completely change the unfavorable situation faced by Zizhou.

Yang Shili began to plan, and he frequently summoned officers at all levels to find out how many sergeants there were in Zizhou City, thinking about when he could launch an attack.

The situation reported by the officials of the Yamen made by Jiedu not have much time for Yang Shili to plan, there is not much food in Zizhou City, it is difficult to hold on for a long time, and the public security situation in the city has been chaotic, if it can not be rectified well, I am afraid that someone will really rebel.

Forced to helpless, Yang Shili decided to take the initiative to attack, leading more than 10,000 soldiers in the city to kill out, and caught Chen Jingxuan off guard, hoping to defeat and dampen Chen Jingxuan's spirit through such a sudden attack.

Everything was planned, and the time for the raid was set at the end of the day.

Yang Shili's plan was regarded as top secret, and it was soon learned by Chen Jingxuan.

This is an inevitable thing, the officers under Yang Shili have long wanted to surrender to Chen Jingxuan, just because Yang Shili has always been in the Yamen, and the guards around him are very tight, and the most important thing is that many of those personal soldiers are brought from the Shence army, these personal soldiers have followed Yang Shili for many years, are loyal, and it is impossible to rebel, so the officers can't think of a good way to kill Yang Shili, so they can only reveal information to Chen Jingxuan.

Yang Shili suddenly learned about the situation of the garrison in Zizhou City, and needed a detailed and real situation, some officers began to analyze, why did Yang Shili, who was staying at home, understand these situations, did he have any ideas. Later, Yang Shili issued an order requiring all officers and sergeants to be prepared, and the supply of grain and grass during this time should be sufficient, so that the sergeants can be well fed.

Although Yang Shili did not give a specific order, many officers understood the meaning.

A lot of information was continuously sent to Chen Jingxuan's hands.

The strategists around Chen Jingxuan easily analyzed Yang Shili's mentality and what he was going to do.

Yang Shili has fallen into a desperate situation, the only way out is the sneak attack, the sneak attack can be victorious, you can change the situation that Zizhou is surrounded, if the sneak attack fails, Yang Shili can take advantage of the sneak attack melee, waiting for the opportunity to escape, in case you can't escape, then you can only resist desperately, and finally be killed.

It is normal for Yang Shili to have this idea, and even Chen Jingxuan thinks that the analysis of the strategists around him is very accurate.

There is not much food in Zizhou City, and the public security situation is also very chaotic, so many strategists believe that Yang Shili does not have much time to prepare, and the sneak attack may be in the last few days.

Chen Jingxuan demanded that officers at all levels make preparations quickly, and the overall requirement is that they should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and they must paralyze Yang Shili.

Chen Jingxuan will never give Yang Shili a chance to escape, he must capture or kill Yang Shili alive, this expedition, if Yang Shili cannot be captured or killed alive, it cannot be regarded as a success.

In the third year of Yuanhe, the fifth day of the fourth month, Yinshi.

The outside of Zizhou City is very quiet, and this kind of quietness has become the norm, because the army under Chen Jingxuan surrounded Zizhou, and at the same time, Yang Shili, who was trapped in Zizhou, did not allow the people in Zizhou City to enter and leave the city, making the outside of the city unusually quiet.

Chen Jingxuan's army is still resting, and the people in the city are also sleeping.

The south gate was silently opened.

The black-pressed sergeants came out of the south gate and lined up outside the city gate in battle sequence, waiting for the order to charge.

Chen Jingxuan's camp was only five miles away from the city gate, and the army's charge was a blink of an eye.

Yang Shili, who had not shown up for a long time, finally appeared in front of the sergeant, Yang Shili at this moment, with a hint of flushing on his pale face, this battle will determine his future and life.

The order to fight was quickly issued, and the troops rushed towards Chen Jingxuan's camp like a whirlwind, and the soldiers who followed behind had also rushed to the front as fast as possible, and the formation of 15,000 sergeants was still a little terrifying.

Yang Shili, who followed behind the charging army, looked at Chen Jingxuan's camp, which was a little silent, and showed a rare smile on his face......

"Commander, the camp is empty......"

Yang Shili's body on horseback shook, and he roared hysterically.

"Order everyone to evacuate, evacuate quickly, this is a trap set by Chen Jingxuan......"

A cannon shot overshadowed Yang Shili's order, and the black-pressed army appeared in an instant.

Yang Shili looked back at the direction of the city gate, the road had been blocked by Chen Jingxuan's army, which meant that 15,000 soldiers could not return to Zizhou City, as for the less than 3,000 soldiers waiting for Zizhou City, it was impossible to open a bloody road and take the army that rushed out back to the city.

The desperate situation made Yang Shili lose his mind in an instant, he swung his knife and killed an officer next to him, there is no doubt that the operational deployment of the sneak attack leaked out, Chen Jingxuan already knew the situation, and those who could leak information were officers at all levels under his command.

There is only one last way out, that is, to take advantage of the moment when the sergeants are fighting, to escape from the chaos, as long as he leaves here and enters the mountains, even if Chen Jingxuan has tens of thousands of troops, it is difficult to find his traces of Yang Shili.

It's a pity that Yang Shili couldn't have predicted the situation.

More than 10,000 troops gave up resistance and surrendered under the leadership of officers.

Some officers led the sergeants under their command, combined with the sergeants under Chen Jingxuan, and began to launch a crazy attack on the personal soldiers around him.

Seeing the surrounding soldiers fall one by one, Yang Shili's plan to take advantage of the chaos to withdraw was completely ruined.

Yang Shili looked up to the sky and sighed, this may be his end.

He pulled out his Tang knife and rushed towards the camp that was fighting......

When Yang Shili's head was sent by an officer, Chen Jingxuan had a smug smile on his face.

The army conquest did not take much effort, and there were not even many casualties, most of the sergeants under Yang Shili surrendered, and these sergeants have since been owned by him Chen Jingxuan, which greatly increased his strength, Yang Shili was killed, so that his heart was completely at peace, Dongchuan and Xichuan are also under the command of him Chen Jingxuan, and no one should think of being able to interfere.

Since his debut, this is Chen Jingxuan's first expedition, and he has won such a huge victory, which makes this incapable Xichuan Jiedu envoy a little fluttering, and it turns out that it is not very difficult to win the expedition. (To be continued......)
