Chapter 244: Dominating Qingzhou
Xu Huang knew that Yuan's army was demoralized and his hearts were moving, so he wanted to attack the city in one fell swoop and capture Yuan Tan alive.
Thousands of troops spread out, and when they heard General Xu Huang's order, they instantly boiled, and rushed straight to the city wall with a cloud ladder.
Yuan Tan had already arrived at the city, and when he saw the enemy soldiers attacking the city, he was anxious and loudly ordered to release arrows.
The Beihai soldiers had already prepared, and several teams of shield soldiers raised their shields to cover the ladder forward, although there were still those who were hit by arrows, but they successfully protected the ladder close to the city wall.
For a time, countless cloud ladders stood on the city wall, Beihai soldiers desperately climbed to the city with knives, although there were countless arrows and stones on their heads, but they were not afraid, and they looked at death as home, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
On the other hand, the defenders of the city, seeing that the Beihai soldiers were as brave as they were, and thinking of the words of the destruction of the reinforcements before, they were all afraid and slow.
"Knock the ladder down, don't get it close!"
Yuan Tan saw that the Beihai soldiers were attacking like a tide, and he was so anxious that he shouted loudly.
On the other side, Wang Mo and Yan Chang glanced at each other and understood.
I saw Wang Mo walking quickly to Yuan Tan's side, pretending to be urgent and said: "The eldest prince of Qiqi, the arrows on the right side are insufficient, and the last general will please order them to be carried down to the city!" ”
Yuan Tan was anxious, and he didn't doubt him, so he said impatiently: "It seems like this trivial matter, you can be self-contained, and there is no need to report it." ”
Wang Mo Yingnuo, and then led dozens of henchmen and soldiers to run down the city.
At the entrance of the staircase, Yan Chang led dozens of people to wait, and when he saw Wang Mo coming down, he didn't say much, turned his head and went to the city gate.
At the city gate, a small lieutenant commanded the soldiers to strengthen the city gate, and suddenly saw Wang Mo leading dozens of people to come, followed by Yan Chang, hurriedly saluted, and asked, "Where did the two generals come from?" ”
Wang Mo's face was serious, he raised the knife in his hand, and replied: "On the order of the eldest prince, come to take over the defense of the city gate, and you can retreat." ”
The colonel had a low status, and he did not doubt him, so he urgently called the soldiers to leave.
As soon as he turned around, Yan Chang from behind slashed him to death.
Wang Mo also led his subordinates to take the opportunity to attack, the soldiers at the city gate were defenseless, and most of them were slaughtered soon, and a few soldiers were far away to see that the situation was not good, and they shouted and scattered and fled.
Wang Mo took the opportunity to shout: "The matter has come to this, quickly open the city gate and welcome the Beihai soldiers into the city!" ”
The words fell and ordered the soldiers to dismantle the logs, boulders and other objects that were holding up the city gates.
Yuan Tan was commanding the soldiers to defend the city, and suddenly heard the sound of fighting at the city gate, and before he could inquire about the situation, an adjutant general ran over in a panic and shouted loudly: "The big thing is not good, Wang Mo Yan Chang led the troops to rebel and is attacking the city gate!" ”
"What?"
Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard this, and then scolded angrily: "How dare you be a thief? ”
The adjutant general hurriedly persuaded: "The eldest prince, Wang Mo Yan Chang rebelled, there will be an uproar in the army, and the city cannot be defended, so retreat from the west gate as soon as possible, otherwise when the northern navy enters the city, everything will be over!" ”
At this moment, I heard a great commotion at the city gate, and then I heard someone shouting: "Go to the water!" ”
It turned out that the rebellion of Wang Mo and others had already spread, and the soldiers in the city had no intention of fighting to the death, and when they saw that someone had rebelled, they immediately shouted and scattered and fled.
Yuan Tan also knew that he couldn't do anything, and he hated it in his heart, but he still shouted loudly: "The reinforcements are here, hold on, hold on!" ”
Then he led his heart and abdomen to fly down, as if fleeing towards the west gate.
Outside the city, Xu Huang was directing the siege of the city, and suddenly saw the defenders in the city in chaos, and was suspicious, and suddenly saw the city gate open, and then dozens of people rushed out in a panic.
Xu Huang has been in battle for a long time, saw many corpses lying in the city gate, and thought of the chaos of the defenders in the city just now, knowing that there was a mutiny in the Yuan army, and said with great joy: "The city is broken, kill with me!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up his axe and led his soldiers and horses to the city gate.
Xu Huang took the lead, stayed at the city gate, and saw Wang Mo Yan Chang scattered on both sides, and immediately ordered the soldiers to surround him.
Wang Mo was shocked and hurriedly bowed: "General Qiqi Xu, the two of us are Yuan Tan's partial general Wang Mo Yan Chang, and I have admired General Koji for a long time, so Kaicheng surrendered!" ”
Xu Huang was afraid that Yuan Tan would escape, so he said to the two: "You two can know Yuan Tan's whereabouts, if you can capture him alive, you will show the merits of the two of you!" ”
The two were overjoyed, and Wang Mo replied: "Yuan Tan sees the army entering the city, and he will leave through the west gate."
Xu Huang waved his big axe and said, "You and the two of you quickly get on the horse and lead the way, and follow me to chase and kill Yuan Tan." ”
"No!"
Wang Mo Yan Chang quickly jumped on his horse and led the way to the west gate.
At this time, Yuan Tan led his henchmen and more than a thousand soldiers to escape from the West Gate, and he didn't dare to delay, so he galloped away.
At this time, Yuan Tan was extremely unwilling, Wang Mo was sent by Yuan Shao to assist him, but he didn't want to rebel against the enemy at a critical moment, causing him to lose the city and flee in embarrassment.
Yuan Tan was running, only to hear the sound of a gong in front of him, and Tai Shici led the army to block the way.
At noon, Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang discussed, Xu Huang led the troops to attack the city, and Tai Shi Ci led the cavalry to ambush in case Yuan Tan abandoned the city and fled.
When Xu Huang attacked the city, Tai Shici guessed that if Yuan Tan abandoned the city, he would go to the west gate, so he led five hundred cavalry to ambush here, and really waited for Yuan Tan.
Tai Shi Ci laughed and shouted: "Yuan Tan Xiao'er, Tai Shi Ci has been waiting here for a long time!" ”
After that, he didn't wait for Yuan Tan to reply, and directly ordered the charge.
Yuan Tan was shocked when he saw Tai Shici blocking the way, and shouted in his mouth: "My life is over!" ”
The adjutant general on the side shouted loudly: "A certain person has received the great favor of the Yuan family, and there is no way to repay it, now I am willing to lead the troops to drag Tai Shici, and the son will leave quickly!" ”
After speaking, the deputy general led hundreds of soldiers to kill Tai Shici, although he knew that he was invincible, but his back was decisive, which was very tragic.
Seeing this, Yuan Tan hurriedly beat his horse and fled.
The lieutenant general shouted as he charged: "We have received a lot of great favor from the Yuan family, and we would rather die today than drag Tai Shici and kill with me!" ”
When his words fell into a place with Tai Shi Ci, how did Tai Shi Ci put it in his eyes, stabbed him with a gun, and picked him off the horse in only two rounds.
Hundreds of Yuan troops saw that the deputy general was killed in battle, but they did not flinch and attacked desperately.
At this time, the people who can decide to fight to the death are all diehard loyalists of the Yuan family.
The essence of the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family is fully displayed at this moment.
But no matter how decisive these hundreds of people were, after all, the difference in strength was too great, and they were finally slaughtered.
Not being afraid of death does not mean that you will not die.
Tai Shici looked at Yuan Tan, who took the opportunity to flee away, and then looked at the hundreds of Yuan Jun corpses on the ground, and sighed: "All loyal and brave people are also!" ”
He then ordered the men to be buried as a tribute to their loyalty.
Tai Shici ordered the troops to be collected, and when he met Xu Huang leading the troops, he simply explained that Yuan Tan had fled, and they returned to the city together.
On the way, Xu Huang briefly introduced Wang Mo Yan Chang, and Tai Shi Ci laughed and said: "The two generals abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and when the matter is over, they will report the matter of opening the city to the lord." ”
Wang Mo Yan Chang knew that Taishi Ci was one of the three major generals under the account of Liyi, and he was deeply trusted by Liyi, so he was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang returned to Tatecheng, and on the one hand, they ordered the army to search for the Yuan army in the city, and on the other hand, they set an example to calm the people, and sent scouts back to Beihai to report the victory to Liyi.
Previously, Fu Le'an was recruited, and now Tai Shi Ci Xu Huang has captured Tatecheng again, and today, Koyi has finally dominated the entire Qingzhou and become a veritable Qingzhou pastor!
