Chapter 101: The Battle of Fuzhou (3)

Almost all of them were only a quarter of an hour after the attack began, and the two cities of Ningyuemen and Haiyanmen in Fuzhou were occupied by a large number of Tang soldiers. Under the deterrence of the earth-shattering thunder, all the Fuzhou soldiers were afraid, always guarding against whether there would be a lit clay pot thrown over, how to fight this battle next?

Qian Hongyi, the envoy of Zhangwu Jie and the assassin of Fuzhou, was still in a state of anxiety and confusion, and was woken up by a personal guard: "Qian envoy, the city is not guaranteed, you should withdraw to the sub-city first!" ”

Qian Hongyi was stimulated by this sentence and woke up, and said angrily: "Withdraw a fart!" How many of them can they have that stuff? Tell the soldiers below to kill an enemy soldier and give me a reward! ”

The words of heavy reward quickly spread, and the Fuzhou soldiers, who were courageously aroused by the heavy money, rushed forward again, and the formation forced the Tang soldiers.

At this time, Tang Bing's strategy changed again: Chen Desheng yelled at his elder brother Chen Decheng: "Boss, you and Yanhua lead the troops to hold the front, and I will rush to the northern water gate!" ”

Chen Decheng immediately agreed loudly, and commanded his subordinates to quickly form three scattered lines of defense on the city, and rushed forward in turn like waves. And Chen Desheng, Lin Renzhao, and Feng Jingyun, the three masters, led a few people to form a team and began to attack the water gate in the north.

Suddenly, three black arrows representing death and ominous began to fire, and the sharp arrows shot down the oncoming Fuzhou defenders, slashed the city defense materials along the road, and advanced rapidly.

The Water Gate in the southwest corner of Fuzhou City is very close to the Ningyue Gate, only three hundred meters, almost a few long breaths, and the three advance teams have reached the Water Gate and set up a defense line on the north side of the Water Gate Gate.

Now, there is a long section of the city wall that has become the world of Southern Tang soldiers. The drums under the city became fierce, and all the soldiers rushed up, grabbed the ladder on the outside of this section of the city wall, pushed the improvised siege engine, and the people rushed towards the city like dense ants.

Qian Hongyi pulled out his knife, angrily slashed off the railing in front of him, and kept shouting "kill" and "kill". However, in the chaos of the city, few people could hear his shouts.

His personal guard Qian Da roared in his ear: "Qian Xiang, the enemy has begun to raise the water gate iron gate!" ”

Qian Hongyi looked into the distance, and also found that many Southern Tang soldiers who had ascended the city were shouting trumpets to turn the big stirring plate, and the sluice gate was slowly rising.

Qian Da grabbed Qian Hongyi, snorted to several guards, and protected Qian Hongyi from the west stairs of the city gate tower to slip down the city. A few men stopped the 500 reinforcements who had arrived at the base of the city wall, and hurried to the north. The people at the head of the city were so attracted by the war that they did not notice that their commander had slipped away in advance.

The sluice gate slammed into the top of the iron frame with an unpleasant squeak, making a loud "clang", and ten Jianzhou soldiers raised the heavy blocking rod to block the iron sluice gate, and the waterway into Fuzhou was opened!

The two-chariot warship, which had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately accelerated towards the water gate, and the soldiers loaded on it raised their shields, formed a shield wall on both sides of the ship, and rushed straight into Fuzhou City.

"Our ship has entered the city!" Chen Decheng immediately led a group of ** to shout. This news immediately cheered up all the Jianzhou troops, and everyone shouted as if they had drunk stimulants. The same information reached the ears of the Fuzhou soldiers, but it was like a death knell: the enemy has already attacked the city, is there any point in holding the city wall?

A Fuzhou military commander was also taken aback by the news and ran to the edge of the inner city to look east. Through the mountain of Jiuxian Mountain, he could see the tall masts appear one after another on the inside of the water gate.

"Qian Xiang, Qian ......" turned their heads to look at the city gate tower, but found that there was no one on it, and immediately felt that something was wrong!

The head of the city immediately ran to the city gate tower, and found that the empty city plan was really staged, and immediately looked to the north, and in the distance of the street where the city gate tower was directed, Qian Hongyi was running to the Antai Bridge at the north end of the city gate avenue under the protection of a group of personal guards and reinforcements.

"!" Du Tou scolded angrily and turned to go downstairs, secretly found a few brothers close to him, and led everyone along the city wall to the west. If you don't leave, when the soldiers on the enemy ship come around from the side of Jiuxian Mountain, you won't be able to leave if you want to!

Chen Decheng was tall, and his eyes caught a glimpse of someone slipping away from the rear of the enemy army, and immediately looked up at the city gate tower, and found that there was no one on it except for a few flags, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Hey, look back, your superiors have all run away!" ”

Under the influence of Chen Decheng, dozens of Jianzhou soldiers also shouted: "All of you officials have run away, what are you still fighting for?" ”

"Brothers, the city is broken, don't be stubborn, otherwise you will die!"

……

Hearing these drums, the more the Fuzhou soldiers fought, the more furious their hearts became, and many people also looked back at the city gate tower.

There is no one at the city gatehouse! This scene suddenly made the hearts of many Fuzhou soldiers like Fujian water in this season, and the tiles were cool and cool.

At the stalemate stage, a Jianzhou soldier close to the inner city wall pointed to the city and shouted: "Our reinforcements! His words attracted the attention of the soldiers on both sides, and they all turned their heads to look at the north of the city: a group of Southern Tang soldiers appeared behind Jiuxian Mountain, and they were rushing towards this side!

The cold fact that the enemy had formed a favorable situation of flanking the city and the city and the number of enemy troops on the city made many Fuzhou soldiers hesitate, and almost no one was desperately moving forward.

Chen Decheng shouted in a thick voice: "Brothers in Fuzhou, do you know how many troops we have attacked the city? All the Jianzhou Army, Baisheng Army, Quanzhou Army, Zhangzhou Army, a full 100,000 people! We're ten beating you one! It is a matter of time before the city of Fuzhou is broken, I hope you think clearly, what will be the result if you continue to resist! Anyway, bragging about not paying taxes, Chen Decheng casually increased his military strength by 30,000.

Many Fuzhou soldiers looked at each other, no one said a word, only the sound of heavy breathing on the head of the city.

Chen Decheng slowed down his speech a little and shouted, "Do you know that the Quanzhang army is here?" Now, the Qingyuan Army has completely returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the Liuda has been promoted to the general of the Tang Hussars, and all the former Qingyuan Army generals and soldiers have become Tang soldiers! Now, give everyone a chance to choose: either put down the knife in your hand, we have good wine and good food in the military camp under the city, and we will entertain you, after this battle, everyone is a Tang soldier, and they are all brothers; Either you turn around and run away, join up with the others, and we will turn around and fight again, and everyone will fight to the death! ”

"Can you promise not to hurt a single surrendering soldier?" A young Dutou asked in a muffled voice in the group.

"I am Chen Decheng, the deputy general of the Jianzhou Army, and Chen Xu, the envoy and servant of the Jianzhou Festival of the Tang Dynasty, is my father! I, Chen Decheng, am also a seven-foot man who can spit and be a nail, and I can swear to God that I will never hurt a brother of my own! In addition, you can send a few representatives to Haiyanmen to see if it is the Quanzhou army that is fighting, and see if I have lied to you, and then you decide to stay! Chen Decheng patted his chest and said loudly.

Chen Decheng first walked to the edge of the inner city, waved his hand to signal the hundreds of reinforcements who arrived below not to attack first, and then threw the knife in his hand to the ground, signaling the brothers around him to insert the knife into the scabbard, and then continued to agitate: "You stay, I warmly welcome; If you want to go, I will not stop you! Give everyone a hundred numbers of time to consider! ”

Without Chen Decheng's command, a soldier behind him began to count loudly: "One, two, three......"

When he counted to "thirty-three", finally a Fuzhou soldier threw the knife in his hand on the ground, and then the sound of the knife falling to the ground intensified, and the clanging sound continued, like a sudden burst of rain in spring.

Of the less than 3,000 soldiers defending the city of Fuzhou, a little more than 2,000 chose to surrender, and except for more than 40 or so who took off their military uniforms and prepared to leave the city, the remaining 400 or so soldiers withdrew west along the city wall.

Chen Decheng spoke and counted, arranged for an adjutant general to escort all the surrendered soldiers to put down their weapons and walk to the city to line up to guard, and he led the elite of the tooth army to open the Ningyue Gate, waiting for the anxious Jianzhou army to rush in, and the Jianzhou Festival made Chen Xuce rush to the front.

In the process of the army entering the city, Chen Yu ordered Chen Decheng to take 10,000 soldiers and horses, and quickly ran towards the direction of the city gate waterway, and after meeting with the water army waiting there, he attacked northeast along the waterway, and Zheng Yanhua led 5,000 soldiers to begin to climb the city head and sweep the defenders on the city wall, striving to meet the Quanzhou army as soon as possible. Chen Yu himself led the most elite tooth army straight to the Antai Bridge due north.

Three black torrents swept into the city of Fuzhou like a remnant cloud.
