Chapter 447: Kill to the Shu Palace
In the direction of the east gate of Chengdu, there are only about 500 soldiers and horses of the Shu army on duty, and among these 500 soldiers and horses, including 100 men and horses who defected to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
At this time, the remaining 900 soldiers of the Shu army who had taken refuge in the Northern Expeditionary Army were approaching the east gate in five ways, so that the inside and the outside could be combined and the east gate of Chengdu could be quickly taken.
The distance between the north gate of Chengdu and the east gate is not very far, and in a short period of time, the six thousand cavalry led by Hua'an himself arrived in the direction of the east gate.
"Big brother, the east gate has arrived, and I don't know how to prepare for it." After arriving at the east gate, Wang San looked at Hua'an and said softly.
"Chang Xuan is a steady person, I believe in him, he will definitely do this errand, don't worry!" Hua An whispered and ordered: "Send a signal and let Nei Ying prepare." ”
"Yes, General." The pro-soldiers responded, and then beat the drum violently, signaling to the Shu army in the city.
The Shu army, which was approaching in the direction of the east gate, heard the sound of drums and accelerated its pace of advance, and the team that had arrived near the east gate immediately rushed to the east gate, ready to move.
"Team Zheng, you see, the Jin soldiers outside the city have arrived, and our reinforcements in the city have also arrived." A soldier said.
"Okay, get ready to do it." The team defending the east gate was right, and his hands touched the weapon at his waist, ready to move.
"Soldiers, rush!" A brigade commander in charge of patrolling the streets, with 300 soldiers and another 200 men and horses, rushed towards the east gate of Chengdu.
"Soldiers, do it." The Shu army on the city wall is taking a hundred soldiers under its command. also launched a counterattack.
Thousands of Jin troops outside the city were approaching, and there were rebels in the city to fight back, and the hundreds of men and horses defending the city were soon charged, and the east gate of Chengdu was also opened.
Seeing that the east gate of Chengdu was slowly opening, a smile appeared at the corner of Hua An's mouth, and he ordered loudly: "Soldiers, enter the city, go straight to the north gate, and rush to the ......" said and led the army into Chengdu on horseback.
Six thousand cavalry. Enter Chengdu at a breakneck pace. And marched in the direction of the north gate of Chengdu, preparing to join forces with the main army outside the city, capture the north gate, and annihilate the main force of the Shu army.
In the direction of the North Gate. The battle is in full swing. Tie Niu and Li Yi's soldiers and horses. It has approached the moat, and has set up ladders and planks, and has advanced the men. Follow the paved road, cross the moat, approach in the direction of the north gate wall, and prepare to set up a ladder to attack the city.
"Soldiers, kill me ......" Iron Bull shouted, ordering the soldiers to attack forward.
"Archer, give me all the arrows." Li Yi also gave the order to cover with bows and arrows.
Under the orders of the two generals, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses roared towards the city wall of the north gate of Chengdu.
"General, the offensive of the Jin army is much more ferocious than yesterday, and the forward has crossed the moat." A small colonel reported loudly.
The general of the Shu army took a breath and said loudly: "No matter how many Jin troops come, give me a hard shot, and the archers will shoot me hard, and I must repel the attack of the Jin army." ”
"Yes, General." The little colonel answered, and ordered sideways: "Release the arrow, release the arrow with all your might." ”
"Whoosh......" The troops defending the city of the Shu army fired a large number of bows and arrows at the Jin army besieging the city.
"Shield cover, archers return fire." The generals of the Jin army under the city gave orders for defense and counterattack.
The enemy and us fired indiscriminately, and each paid a lot of casualties.
"General, the Jin army's vanguard has approached the city wall and has begun to erect a cloud ladder to attack the city." The little colonel stretched out his head and glanced at the city, and reported loudly.
The general of the Shu army, his eyes widened, and said loudly: "Quick, set up the wolf's tooth slap, slap me hard, slap them to death." ”
Under the orders of the generals of the Shu army, countless wolf teeth began to be erected on the city wall and prepared for the attack.
"Soldiers, attack." Just when the battle at the north gate was in full swing, the six thousand men and horses led by Hua An went around the back of the Shu army and launched a fierce attack.
"General, it's not good, the Jin army is coming from behind." A small soldier reported in a panic.
The general of the Shu army was taken aback when he heard this, got up and looked in the direction of the city, good guy, a full five or six thousand Jin army cavalry, is killing quickly.
In this way, there is a strong enemy in front and a strong enemy in the rear, and resistance is naturally futile, and the wisest thing for the Shu generals to do is to surrender to the Jin army in order to save their lives and the lives of their soldiers.
"General, the Jin army's more than 20,000 main forces are attacking back and forth, and our army has no chance of winning, surrender! We had no choice. A junior colonel said loudly.
The general of the Shu army was furious when he heard this, and scolded loudly: "Bastard, as a general of the Han Dynasty, how can I surrender to the Jin army, give me all my strength to kill the enemy, and defend the city." ”
"Yes, General." The little colonel answered, and led a team of men and horses to the direction of the stairs to resist the Jin troops in the city.
Hua An looked at the Shu soldiers and horses on the city wall, and said softly: "Sue the Shu army on the city wall, surrender and avoid death." ”
A pro-soldier with a loud voice stepped forward and shouted: "Listen to the soldiers of the Shu army in the city, you have been surrounded by our army, resistance is futile, surrender without death, surrender quickly!" ”
On the city wall, the soldiers in charge of defense saw that they had been surrounded by the Jin army on both sides, and most of them had long lost the will to resist, and under the persuasion of the Jin army, they had the intention of surrendering.
"Don't surrender, release the arrows, give me the arrows." The general of the Shu army shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to resist.
"Whoosh ......" Under the order of the generals of the Shu army, the soldiers of the Shu army fired arrows at the team under the command of Hua'an.
"Big brother, this group of rabbit cubs, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink, we only need one charge, we can take down the city wall, attack!" Thunderstorm said loudly.
"Big brother, attack! Quick. Wang San also persuaded so.
Hua An nodded and ordered, "Soldiers, rush me." ”
"Kill ......" 6,000 cavalry, half of them put arrows on the head of the city to cover, and the other half jumped off their horses and killed in the direction of the city.
Although the soldiers of the Shu army occupy the advantage of geographical advantages, but compared with the Jin army, the difference in strength is too great, especially in the direction of the city, there are ready-made ladders leading to the head of the city, a large number of Jin soldiers and horses, along the ladder, can soon kill to the head of the city, and the Shu army on the city wall is short-handed.
Under the strong pressure of the Jin army, the Shu army at the head of the city surrendered one after another, and those who refused to surrender were all killed by the Jin army, and even the main general of the Shu army, who was responsible for defending the north gate, also died in the chaos.
After completely controlling the city wall of the north gate of Chengdu, Hua An ordered the city gate to be opened, allowing the siege troops outside the city to enter the city, and marched directly in the direction of the imperial palace of Shu.
Standing on the city wall of the north gate of Chengdu, looking at the soldiers of the Shu army who would rather die in battle than surrender, Hua An opened his mouth and sighed: "Who said that there is no one in Shu, and there are no generals in the Shu army, if all the soldiers of the Shu army are so desperate, our army is now only afraid that it is still far away in Liangzhou, and it will not be a year and a half, but I am afraid that it will not be able to advance to Chengdu!" ”
"What the eldest brother said is that the emperor of Shu used people inappropriately, like this kind of loyal general, but only the position of the military master, and those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but they have already become generals, how can the country not die if they use people like this."
"Big brother, I don't know what the palace of Shu looks like, let's take a look." Thunderstorm spoke.
Hua An smiled and said, "Okay, go down to the city, let's go to the palace and have a look." After speaking, he led a group of horses and horses down the city wall of the north gate of Chengdu, and rode towards Li Shi's palace.

At this time, in the palace of Shu, it had already become a mess, and all the eunuchs and palace maids were packing their packages and preparing to flee for their lives.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are still here." Feng Fu walked into the main hall with a hundred personal soldiers.
As soon as Li Shi saw Feng Fu, he hurriedly asked: "Feng Aiqing, the battle in the direction of the North Gate is so fierce, how is the battle going!" ”
Feng Fu patted his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, the north gate is lost, the main force of the Jin army of 20,000 has entered the city and is approaching in the direction of the palace, Your Majesty, quickly retreat with the old minister!" ”
"What, the north gate is lost, Feng Aiqing, didn't you say that our army will definitely be able to hold the capital? Why was it broken by the Jin army so quickly, and why? Li Shi couldn't believe that the most elite Imperial Forest Army under his command had failed so quickly.
Feng Fu sighed again and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Jin army is about to be killed, let's talk as we go." ”
"Okay, let's talk as we go." Li Shi responded, and suddenly said, "No! Feng Aiqing, if I leave like this, what will I do with those concubines? It can't be left to the Jin army! ”
Feng Fu was anxious when he heard this, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, when is this, what do you care about those troubles, let's escape first!" A few of you, quickly change the emperor's clothes. As he spoke, he looked at the few Praetorian soldiers behind him.
Hearing the order, several soldiers of the forbidden army put on the clothes that had been prepared for Li Shi, and helped Li Shi to run towards the south gate of the palace.
"Feng Aiqing, where are we going to hide! Is there still a place for me in Shu? Li Shi looked at Feng Fu and said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, Hanjia County in the southwest is still in the hands of our army, let's go there and take shelter for a while!" Feng Fu replied.
Li Shi sighed, looked at the pavilions of the palace, and said with emotion: "I am the king of a country, I can't imagine that I have fallen to such a point and have to go to such a remote place as Hanjia County. ”
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, don't complain, it's the most important thing to escape from the capital as soon as possible." Feng Fu advised Li Shi to walk quickly.
Li Shi quickened his pace and asked, "Feng Aiqing, you said, if I defect to the Jin Army at this moment, what will happen to me!" ”
Feng Fu was stunned when he heard this, and replied: "Your Majesty, at this moment, the Jin army has broken through Chengdu, and we have lost our bargaining chips. ”
Li Shi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "In this case, let's run for our lives quickly!" But don't fall into the hands of the Jin army. After saying that, he sped up his feet. (To be continued......)
