At the fifth watch, Liu Jing was woken up by the guards in his deep sleep, "Your Highness, there is something important to report." ”

The lights in the big tent were lit, Liu Jing got up and put on a piece of clothing, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There is news in Moling County, and the person who came is Cheng Pu's son Cheng Zhi."

"Take him to the tent and wait!"

Liu Jing and Cheng Pu had long been in contact, and the crucial Jiangdong army distribution map was obtained from Cheng Pu, so that the Han army could accurately dispatch troops and sweep Jingkou and Wu County as quickly as possible, of course, this matter was very hidden, and the vast majority of people did not know that Cheng Pu had secretly surrendered to the Han army.

Liu Jing freshened up a little, then walked quickly into the side tent, walked into the big tent, and Cheng Shi, who was waiting in the tent, hurriedly got up and saluted, "Xiaomin see His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

"Let Cheng Gongzi wait for a long time, please take a seat!"

Liu Jing knew Cheng Zhi, he asked Cheng Zhi to sit down, and let the soldiers serve tea, he knew that Cheng Zhi must have something important when he came to the fifth watch, but he needed to stabilize his feelings and let Cheng Zhi calm down, once he was in a hurry, it was easy to make a wrong decision.

Cheng Shi took a sip of tea, he also slowly calmed down, realizing that he shouldn't talk about Jiang Qin first, in this matter, the importance of his father must be shown, otherwise, the Cheng family is just a mouthpiece, and he is secretly glad that he did not report urgently.

Cheng Zhi sorted out his thoughts and said: "The city of Moling is about to be broken, my father is very worried that street battles will break out, affecting the people of Moling, and I hope His Royal Highness can have a perfect strategy to protect the people of Moling." ”

"General Cheng Lao has the people of Moling in his heart, which is admirable, but it is impossible not to carry out the war, otherwise it will make the Jiangdong Army kidnap the people of Moling to deal with the Han army, and we will try our best to capture Moling City with thunder tactics to minimize civilian casualties."

Liu Jing's answer was also an understatement, he knew that Cheng Zhi was so anxious to come here, and he would never express that his father was worried about civilian casualties, there must be more important information.

Cheng Zhi felt that Liu Jing's tone was cold, and he knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he had to continue: "I am in such a hurry to see His Highness because my father has successfully rebelled against the deputy general Jiang Qin, and General Jiang is willing to cooperate with the Han army to capture the city. ”

This is a bit interesting, Liu Jing asked with a smile: "I wonder how Jiang Qin is going to cooperate with the Han army?" ”

"General Jiang has 2,000 subordinates, and at present he has turned against Zhou Tai, he pulled the army to the west city to garrison, and at the end of the day, General Jiang will open the west gate to welcome the Han army out of the city."

Liu Jing took a few steps with his hands in his hands, he nodded and said: "Cheng Gongzi went back to tell General Sù Jiang, I am willing to accept his surrender, and at the end of the day, the Han army will appear outside the West City on time." ”

Cheng Zhi was overjoyed, and said goodbye to Liu Jing with a deep salute, Liu Jing ordered the guards to send him back, at this time it was less than half an hour before the hour, the time was very urgent, Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Let Gan Ning and Wei Yan come to see me quickly!" ”

The atmosphere in Moling City suddenly became tense, Jiang Qin accepted Cheng Pu's persuasion, and decided to surrender Moling City to the Han army, he pulled 2,000 subordinates to Xicheng and took control of the West City Gate.

At this time, Zhou Tai also received the news that Jiang Qin had moved troops without authorization, which made Zhou Tai furious, and he led 3,000 troops to Xicheng.

The sky has not yet dawned, the east sky has been white, the heavy night is gradually fading, the cold air reveals a trace of cyan, but in front of the west city gate is full of murderous intentions, Jiang Qin led two thousand soldiers on the city wall to draw bows and arrows, and Zhou Tai's three thousand troops confronted.

"Gongyi, everyone is working for Wu Hou, why bother so much, we can talk about any dissatisfaction, don't have infighting!"

Zhou Tai was also worried that Jiang Qin would open the city gate and surrender to the Han army, he tried his best to stabilize Jiang Qin and coax Jiang Qin to go down to the city, Jiang Qin naturally would not tell the truth, he shouted: "You shut up for me, it's too late to say anything now, you kill my subordinates, this revenge is not shared, I will go to Wu Hou to sue you." ”

Zhou Tai secretly shouted that it was not good, he was Wu Hou's confidant, what was the point of him suing himself, I was afraid that he was going to surrender to the Han army, deliberately dragging himself, Zhou Tai was anxious, and secretly ordered the left and right generals to say: "Quickly adjust the defenders of the north and south cities, launch an attack from the city, and I will answer below!" ”

The city gate and drawbridge control zhì in the hands of Jiang Qin, the upper city Yong road is narrow, it is difficult to take the city from the Yong road, the best way is to launch an attack from both sides of the city, to create conditions for his army to go to the city, Zhou Tai saw that the sky was about to dawn, and his heart was also anxious, he decided to take the opportunity to take the west city.

Jiang Qin saw that Zhou Tai did not respond, and knew that he was ready to attack, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious in his heart, and looked out of the city from time to time, at this time there was still a quarter of an hour before the hour, that is, there were still two quarters of an hour before he and the Han army agreed.

At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly broke out from the north and south, and it seemed that there was a fierce battle, and some soldiers rushed to report: "General Qiyu, the defenders of the southern city and the defenders of the northern city are killing from the city at the same time, the brothers are not well prepared, and they have suffered heavy casualties!" ”

Jiang Qin was furious and shouted: "Resist me, quickly open the city gate, and put down the drawbridge!" ”

The city gate hub in the city tower was pulled by dozens of soldiers, the drawbridge creaked and lowered, and the heavy city gate slowly opened, Zhou Tai saw it from afar, his heart was in a hurry, he waved his sword, and shouted: "Rush up, close the city gate!" ”

The three thousand troops broke out into a shout, rushing towards the city gate together, the arrows on the city were like rain, and the dense arrows shot at the Jiangdong soldiers, and a large number of soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the screams rang out, and the soldiers stopped and retreated.

Zhou Tai was furious, urged the horse to rush up, brandished a spear and fired arrows, and the soldiers behind him followed him to charge forward, although the arrows rained down, causing countless casualties to the charging soldiers, but under the encouragement of the main general Zhou Tai, the black Jiangdong soldiers still rushed to the west of the city.

Some soldiers pushed the city gate closed, and more than 1,000 soldiers rushed to the city along the road on both sides, and at this time the fierce battle was raging on the city, and the two sides were fighting in the same room, and the fierce battle was extremely fierce, and there were corpses and stumps and broken arms everywhere, and blood stained the city head.

Jiang Qin's subordinates were weak, they were pressed to the death, they suffered heavy casualties, and their situation was becoming more and more disadvantaged, and at this moment, a faint muffled sound suddenly came from the south, 'Boom! As if there was thunder rolling up in the sky, Zhou Tai was stunned, and suddenly turned his head to look south, only to see a soldier running from afar, shouting: "General, it's not good!" ”

At this time, outside the southern city, twenty steps of giant trebuchets lined up, a boulder weighing 100 catties rose into the air, smashed violently to the city wall, the dilapidated city wall of Moling County could not withstand the impact of the boulder, collapsed one after another, only the first round of boulder attack, the city wall collapsed in three places, revealing three gaps of 100 zhang wide.

The defenders at the head of the city rushed to the west to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Jiang Qin's rebellion, and the remaining defenders were only more than 100 people, commanded by a military marquis, they saw that the Han army was attacking fiercely, and the city wall had collapsed, knowing that the city could not be saved, and without waiting for the order of the military marquis, the Jiangdong soldiers rushed down the city and fled.

At this time, the second round of trebuchets was launched, and twenty huge stones rose into the air, roaring towards the city, and the dilapidated city wall was like tofu, and under the violent impact of the boulders, the mud bricks were all powdered, 'Boom! With a bang, the half-mile-long wall collapsed, and dust flew up.

Liu Jing, who was watching the battle from a distance, ordered: "Stop the attack, the army will enter the city!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The Han army's attack drum sounded, and the 30,000 Han soldiers broke out into a shouting and killing sound, killing the county like a tide, and Gan Ning took the lead and took the lead in the county seat.

Zhou Tai, who was fighting fiercely in Xicheng, had a white face, the Han army had attacked from the south city, but the Jiangdong army was breaking out into internal strife, how could Moling City still be able to hold it?

At this time, there was also a shouting and killing sound outside the city, and another Han army came from outside the west city, and the huge siege ram was violently hitting the city gate, and hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers were dead from the inside to resist the siege of the Han army.

Zhou Tai was already in a state of confusion, he didn't know what to do, at this moment, a large group of Han soldiers suddenly appeared on the street in front of him, under the leadership of the general Gan Ning, rushed to the west gate, Gan Ning's task was to block the Jiangdong army at the west gate, so that the street fighting only occurred in the west gate area, and never let the street fighting expand to the whole city.

"General, quickly retreat from the north gate!" A tooth general shouted at Zhou Tai.

At this time, the blood poured into Zhou Tai's heart, and today was the time when he died on the battlefield, he roared, "Kill me with me!" ”

He led hundreds of soldiers to meet the Han army, and 20,000 Han soldiers killed from all sides, surrounding hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers from three sides.

'Boom! With a loud bang, the west gate was smashed open by the battering ram, and thousands of Han soldiers under the leadership of the general Wei Yan entered the west city, and the army rushed like a great tide, engulfing the Jiangdong soldiers in an instant

The battle of Moling City ended after a quarter of an hour, the general Zhou Tai and hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers were all killed, while the rest of the Jiangdong soldiers either fled from the northern city or surrendered to the Han army, the loss of Moling City was limited to dozens of houses and shops near the West City Gate, and there were not even ordinary casualties, and when the civil strife broke out, most of the ordinary people living near the West City Gate took refuge in the cellars.

Liu Jing entered Moling City under the escort of thousands of cavalry, he saw Zhuge Jin with his rescued wife, and thanked him from afar, Liu Jing smiled and nodded to him.

At this time, Cheng Zhi took Jiang Qin up to salute, and Jiang Qin stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Jiangdong sin general Jiang Qin pays a visit to His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

Liu Jing turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to help Jiang Qin, and said with a smile: "As early as the Battle of Chaisang, I hoped that one day General Jiang would be able to serve, but I didn't expect that this day would be waited for ten years. ”

Jiang Qin was ashamed, "Let Your Highness wait for a long time!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard him say funny, and at this time, Jiang Qin said again: "The last general and Zhou Tai are fellow villagers, and they used to have a deep friendship, but yesterday they turned against each other, but the enemy is scattered, and his greatest wish before his death is to be buried with his mother after death, and beg His Royal Highness to give his body to the last general, and the last general will send him back to his hometown for burial." ”

Liu Jing nodded, "General Jiang attaches so much importance to the old love, how can I not fulfill it, General Jiang can bury him thickly." ”

Jiang Qin's voice choked, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your success!" ”

Liu Jing patted him on the shoulder and ordered the guards to take him down, Liu Jing looked at the hazy sky again, and then said to Gan Ning and Wei Yan: "You can go out to settle the people, distribute relief food, and those who dare to disturb the people will be beheaded immediately!" ”
