Chapter 204: Capture of Xia Yang

Fang Yue is also a military general in front of him, he used to be a miscellaneous general, and he also participated in the battle with the Yellow Turban, but it is a pity that Fang Yue later accidentally injured someone and was deprived of his official position, so he had to come to his hometown as a last resort. Three years is enough time to make a person depressed, just when Fang Yue was about to forget that he was once a general, the Jizhou army came, and the fellow was helpless, so Fang Yue resolutely picked up the weapon in his hand to fight to protect the homeland behind him.

When a raging fire ignited in his heart, it was impossible for Fang Yue's prodigal son to turn back with a call from the Dangping County Order, Fang Yue patted his horse and raised his gun and looked around, and the world would be overshadowed by Fang Yue's return.

However, before Fang Yue could wake up from that feeling good about himself, he saw that the more than 300 Jizhou troops who rushed out suddenly threw out the javelin in their hands, Fang Yue's whole person was dumbfounded, there was actually a soldier who threw his weapon out, this is not a qualified soldier. Fang Yue touched the pen for three years, and he was already unfamiliar with the long-handled broadsword in his hand, although he was still so vigorous when he wielded it, he didn't have the feeling of the past, and the powerful javelin shot towards Fang Yue, and Fang Yue was nailed to the ground and couldn't move before he could show it.

"Who else wants to go it alone?" Yan Le shouted arrogantly to the defenders on the city tower, the defenders lowered their heads even lower, and they were almost buried in the crotch of their pants, and the morale that the county order had finally boosted was completely wiped out.

"Give you another chance, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender now, our army will guarantee that the past is not to blame. If you continue to resist, then the rest of the stuff is not vegetarian, and you will end up worse than him. As the commander of the corps, Liu Ke personally led the troops to Xiayang, and part of it was to show off, but at this time, Yan Le always grabbed the lines, Liu Ke was very annoyed, so he came out and pointed at Fang Yue and said.

As soon as Liu Ke's voice fell, the 30,000 Jizhou troops were blunt, earth-shattering, and the catapults behind were also slowly pushed forward by the soldiers, eating the deterrence of Guoguo.

"Bang dang." Accidentally, the spear in the hand of a relatively timid Xia Yang defender fell, and everyone looked at him, this obviously new recruit picked up his weapon with a nervous face, but his hands trembled.

Yan Le glanced at Liu Ke and found that the latter shook his head indifferently, which means that Captain Liu Dajun has no patience to continue waiting, and has already given him a chance, but if you can't catch it, there is no way. War is not a philanthropist's party, and if you don't grasp a chance to survive, it can only mean that Lao Tzu has a problem or is bent on finding death, both of which are not normal categories.

"The catapult is ready, the ram is ready, the well is ready, the thrower is in place." With Yan Le's orders issued in a row, the Jizhou army began to become restless, and all the siege equipment was moved to the front at one time, and this formation alone made the defenders tremble, and these big guys were obviously more deterrent than persuading them to surrender.

Xiayang County Commander is a little embarrassed, if this scene does not surrender the Jizhou Army, it will directly attack the city, once the Jizhou Army attacks the city, the probability of survival of these defenders on the city is quite small, but once the county commander surrenders, his family of more than a dozen people will have no good life, these people say that they are living in Luoyang, but in fact they are being hostages, which is the sorrow of all the officials in the Gyeonggi region.

"The catapult troops are in position, test firing a round." Yan Le began to command the troops to fight, this is not a simple deterrent, this is a real combat order, and the test firing is just to make the subsequent strikes more accurate.

At this time, Liu Ke didn't care about anything anymore, and took 30,000 people to fight a city that was no more than ten zhang high, which was obviously a bully, so this kind of thing was still left to Yan Le to do, and Liu Ke himself took out a small thing and put it in front of his eyes. The Jizhou army who knows the goods knows that this is a real clairvoyant of a "divine weapon", but isn't this thing hidden in the hands of the King of Chu? How did it come out here.

Liu Ke took the binoculars and looked at the Xiayang County Commander on the city wall, and found that there was a cold sweat on the forehead of the Xiayang County Commander, and then looked at the surrounding Xiayang defender generals with a telescope, and the results were varied, these people are now holding on to death in the city, Liu Ke is very strange about what is going on with them.

Liu Ke's strangeness did not hinder Yan Le's command, the catapult was loaded, and under the unified mobilization of the red flag waved by the trumpeter, a total of twenty large stones were fired in the first round of strikes, that is, a total of twenty catapults participated in the first test launch, and this was only the first test. Twenty pieces of the situation fell on the city wall, the Xiayang city wall that had been in disrepair for a long time shook a few times, and the defenders standing on it were like earth, this was the first time to see the siege equipment of the Jizhou army. All the defenders probably didn't want to have a second contact.

This was a unilateral thought in the minds of the defenders, but it was obviously too late, and the first round of temptations was over. By hitting the dishes of those stones on the city wall, the angle and height of these data were quickly promoted by the whole army, and what was waiting for the defenders of Xiayang was the bombardment of countless precise stones, and the entire city wall had no place for them to stand at all, which showed its wide coverage.

"The catapult troops suppressed it unilaterally with fire, temporarily carrying out three rounds of strikes." Yan Le continued to command, and the Xia Yang defenders on the city wall felt a chill in their hearts, just now only twenty stones almost made the city wall rebel, if a hundred stones came at a time, it would not be the end of the world! However, none of these Xiayang defenders surrendered, and everyone looked at the county order, and it seemed that the county order still had a lot of prestige among these people.

The county commander is a good official, at least very good to the people in the territory, so the defenders also love him very much, at this critical moment, the defenders did not abandon the city and flee because the county commander stood on the city wall, so even if life and death were threatened, the first thing the Xiayang defenders thought of was the county order. These defenders used to be just a group of bitter people facing the loess with their backs to the sky, if it weren't for Xia Yang's Lin County Order, they would have starved to death or been exploited by now. The common people are all real people, and whoever is good to them is in their hearts, so the defenders would rather die than protect the county commander Lin Bin.

"Go down, all of you! I want to be alone and quiet. The county commander waved his hand to the generals beside him in distraught, and the surrounding generals glanced at the county commander as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

"Okay, I see, you go down first, let me be alone for a while. You all go down, the Jizhou army will not attack, I am safe. Lin Bin waved his hand, and all the soldiers retreated when they heard this. In this scene, the Jizhou army really stopped attacking under Yan Le's drink, but they were all thinking about what fake medicine Lin Bin was selling.

Lin Bin's movements, Liu Ke also observed through the telescope, but he also didn't know what Lin Bin was doing, although he drove everyone down, which is equivalent to an undefended state is a very good situation, but after all, the situation is unknown! Looking at Lin Bin's eyes carefully, alas, oh my mother, I have no feelings, I guess I have a will to die.

"Attack." However, these are not any problems for Liu Ke, even if Lin Bin is determined to die, what is the use? This is a war and not a play, and it is common for people to die in battle. Therefore, Liu Ke directly ordered the whole army to launch a general attack. The Jizhou army arrived at the Tiger Pass one day earlier, so that the Tiger Pass defenders were not well prepared, and the Tiger Pass defenders were not well prepared to make the Jizhou Army lose a little less, for the lives of his own men, Liu Ke didn't care about the life or death of the rest of the people, and he could only blame Lin Bin for being the enemy of the Jizhou Army.

"Kill." The shouting of killing shook the sky, and 30,000 people shouted in unison, and even Lin Bin, who was ready to jump down, couldn't help but be stunned, and then saw the black torrent rushing towards Xia Yang, Xia Yang's broken boat was crumbling, and Lin Bin was terrified when he saw it. I panicked all of a sudden. Lin Bin thought that as long as he died, he would not be considered a surrender to the enemy, so more than a dozen people in his family would not be arrested by the imperial court, for the safety of his family, Lin Bin wanted to fall off the wall, but Lin Bin was just a weak scholar after all, and he usually had to be afraid of killing for a long time.

By the time Lin Bin reacted, the Jizhou army had already put the cloud ladder and the well on the city wall, and there were Jizhou soldiers wearing black armor everywhere under the city wall, even if they fell, they could hit two Jizhou soldiers, and Lin Bin would not necessarily die, Lin Bin sat on the ground in despair, with a burst of despair in his eyes, there was no defender on the city wall, isn't this a collaborator?

The Jizhou soldiers who flocked to the city wall quickly put their weapons on Lin Bin's neck, but Lin Bin didn't care at all, and now Lin Bin's heart only thought about his own situation, and the beauty and the hope of Mu You to live. After the Jizhou army tied up Lin Bin and went down the city wall, the defenders below who had not undergone much training saw the murderous appearance of the Jizhou army and even the hands holding the weapons were trembling, and the spectacular scene before sounded, and the defenders kept throwing their weapons aside and obediently waiting for the Jizhou army to put the knife on the neck.

Without encountering a little resistance, the Jizhou army began to control the remaining three gates under the leadership of the officer, and of course it was essential to open the city gate to welcome in the corps commander and army commander who were still becoming.

The city gate rumbled open, the drawbridge was lowered, and a pair of Jizhou soldiers stood on both sides to wait for Liu Ke and Yan Le to enter the city, and the gravel on the city walls on both sides witnessed the entrance ceremony.
