Chapter 157: Great Victory
The general defending the city led his soldiers to fight fiercely with the royal army that rushed to the city wall, and he was anxious to see many cavalry rushing into the city first.
I want to condescendingly shoot at the enemy outside the city, and I want to lead the troops down the city wall to behead the enemy who broke into the city, but there are more and more soldiers of the Yu Dynasty who rushed to the city wall.
In the past, it was easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, and no one on the Annan side of the soldiers and generals thought that the soldiers and horses of the Dayu Dynasty would have such a powerful cannon, not only the range was far but also the power was greatly increased, and the city gate was blasted open under a few rounds of artillery bombardment.
Li Chengmu led his cavalry to rush into the city, and then frantically harvested the enemy's heads, so fierce that the other Annan soldiers who had not yet approached fled in a hurry, and those who could not escape immediately threw away their ordnance and knelt on the ground, for fear that they would move first if they were one step late.
Xiang Rongrang, who commanded the rear, saw Li Chengmu rushing into the city with the help of a telescope, and without a trace of hesitation, he immediately ordered the captain of the personal guard beside him, "You take someone into the city to protect the fifth master, and you must let him come back unharmed!" ”
The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, "Then you, my lord."
Although the fifth master is important, he is the personal guard of the general army, and in his mind, of course, it is more important to the general army.
Xiang Rongrang looked left and right, except for Li Chengzhan, Li Chengli and Li Chengyi, who stayed in place, only the stupid fifth master rushed into the city with his troops, and there were many guards around him, so he didn't have to worry about his personal safety at all.
Following his line of sight, the captain of the guards naturally saw the soldiers and horses guarding here, and immediately did not hesitate, and immediately ordered a part of the guards to follow the team into the city.
As more and more soldiers and horses rushed into the city, the city wall of Mosaic was occupied, and Xiang Rongrang brought several masters into the city and went to the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, because he was worried about Li Chengmu, who rushed into the city to kill the enemy, he picked up the binoculars again to look for his figure.
In fact, Li Chengmu is easy to find after entering the city, he is surrounded by the most people, and he may be influenced by a group of brave generals, scolding Fang Xuan, and the speed of advancement is quite fast, which is very recognizable in today's chaotic Mosaic City.
Xiang Rongrang looked at this scene, and then looked at Li Chengzhan, Li Chengyi, Li Chengli and others who had been hiding in the rear since the war, and had to sigh in his heart, how can the same father's species be so different?
In the city of Jizhou, under the influence of a cyan figure, there were cries, screams, and chaotic horses' hooves, and all the Annan soldiers who resisted were killed everywhere they passed.
More Annan soldiers fled to other city gates, and they wanted to escape from the other city gates that the Dayu Dynasty army had not yet controlled.
Human potential is unlimited, just to see if they are driven to a desperate situation.
In order to survive, the Annan soldiers hated the old lady for giving birth to two legs, and ran to other city gates to escape.
Escape quickly, escape alive, and have a lot to do in the future!
If you escape slowly, you will die and you will have no chance to do it again!
The generals defending the city of Annam knew that in this case, the military order could not be conveyed at all, and no soldiers would listen to him at this time, which meant that there was no way to organize the soldiers to fight back.
The situation quickly collapsed, and the generals defending the city of Annam could only break out of the city with a cadre of soldiers in embarrassment.
Li Chengmu had long noticed that the guard general on Annan's side, a bad breed who didn't even dare to play the banner in order to escape for his life, how to let the scattered and fleeing Annan soldiers lean on his side.
However, this is just right for him.
"The West City Gate is the farthest away from the enemy, and it will take time for them to control it, so let's kill it and attack it from the West City Gate!"
Annan Shou General Da glanced at the burning houses in the city, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Dayu Dynasty who were in hot pursuit, and said to the people around him.
As soon as the words fell, with the sound of gunfire, the guard behind him snorted and fell to the ground with a bullet.
Da was startled, and looked back to check the situation behind, but saw that many soldiers running behind him were shot and fell to the ground, and it was almost impossible to be killed immediately after being shot.
Li Chengmu noticed that the Annan soldiers in front of him were running faster, and hurriedly ordered everyone to shoot indiscriminately.
"Woohoo!"
As the gunfire rang out, the enemy troops in front were again killed and wounded.
Dayu's soldiers who followed Li Chengmu on this side were all chasing on horseback, but those who were in the way in front of them were given heavy blows.
Annan's defender Chang could not escape the fate of being captured, and after being captured alive, he tried to break free from the shackles, but in vain.
Pushed to the head of the city, he was kicked by Feng Tu in the crook of his foot, and his body knelt on the ground uncontrollably.
Li Chengmu looked at the enemy general kneeling in front of him with contempt, pointed to the city and said, "Do you look at the scene below like purgatory?" ”
Chang looked up at the city, condescending, and saw the tragic scene in the city more clearly at this time.
Everywhere you look, it's a purgatory on earth!
The situation was one-sided, and the soldiers and horses of the Dayu Dynasty set fire everywhere and shot the Annan soldiers, but the civilians who dared to resist did not escape the fate of the massacre.
The yamen and the barracks were even more ablaze, and when they saw this scene in front of them, their eyes were full of grief and despair!
Mosaic City is finished this time!
Li Chengmu and Feng Tu naturally took his look into their eyes.
Feng Tu thought about the ruins and ruins he saw at the border when he came, and his face showed the pleasure of revenge.
He stepped forward and bent down and patted Chang Chang's face, "How does it feel to see your soldiers and civilians slaughtered?" It's sad, isn't it? Do you know that when you picked up the butcher's knife and aimed it at our Dayu to attack the people, did you think about retribution? Did you ever think that one day you too would be slaughtered by us? ”
Of course, Feng Tu's words were impossible to understand, but there was an interpreter next to him to convey the original words to him.
After listening to the interpreter's words, he shouted excitedly, "You herd of animals, our general will not let you go, you just wait for the general to avenge the city of Zhuzhou!" ”
Without waiting for the translator to speak, Feng Tu kicked him for a long time, "My temper is quite stubborn, I am still so arrogant when I am captured, and I dare to yell at us, be careful of asking for your dog's head!" ”
As he spoke, he didn't bother with this enemy general who didn't understand the language, but asked Li Chengmu: "Fifth Master, how to settle the prisoners this time?" ”
Because they still have a lot to do, they have to empty the city of Masashi before the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
There are many factors that cause a war, such as this battle of Jizhou, and the revenge of the soldiers and horses on the side of the palace is not the only purpose.
The material captives of the city were all needed by the palace.
Li Chengmu looked at the east city wall from afar, and the flags fluttered on the city wall, and the commander of this time was there.
He said lightly: "All the generals of more than 100 households will be escorted back to wait for their father, queen and mother to deal with them, and the other captives will all be sent back to be coolies to contribute to the construction of our Lingnan." ”
"What about the people of the city?"
"Escort back, of course!" Li Chengmu couldn't bear Feng Tu's question again this time, and pointed to Changda, "Take him and follow me to see the general soldier." ”
Xiang Rongrang was arranging personnel to scavenge the materials and population in the city, quickly loaded them into the car, and drove the prisoners to escort them back to Siling.
"To the general, what is the value of these people being sent back, it is better to throw them away than to waste food." Li Chengzhan couldn't understand what was the use of Xiang Rongrang dragging these burdens, it was simply a waste of food.
Xiang Rongrang looked at the long line of grain transportation and smiled: "Second master, sometimes there are some things that cannot be measured by grain silver. ”
"What do you mean?" Li Chengzhan couldn't understand what he meant.
While fanning the wind, Long Yutian explained to him with great interest: "Second Master, do you know what the ratio of men and women in our Lingnan is now? ”
Li Chengzhan shook his head.
Long Yutian raised two fingers: "According to the registration of the princess salt shop, in the first half of the year, because many refugees fled to Lingnan, the current ratio of men and women in Lingnan is one to two, that is to say, there are more men and fewer women, yin flourishes and yang declines, and yin and yang lose balance. Such a situation will not be a problem in the short term, but in the long run, it will eventually affect the stability of Lingnan. ”
Most of the people who were able to flee to Lingnan in disaster years were men who were physically strong compared to women, and more men and fewer women would lead to social problems.
In this case, the best solution is to increase the number of women.
Li Chengzhan is just lazy, people are not stupid, Long Yutian said this, he looked at the women in the captive team and understood.
He was silent on his face, but he sneered in his heart, it would be good for the untouchables at the bottom to give them food, should they still care about their offspring?
It took less than three days to loot the city, leaving only the ruins and broken walls to witness the catastrophe that the city has experienced in the past few days.
Far away in Liangshan, Annan, it was four days after he received a distress letter from Zhuzhou City, and he didn't know that Tingzhou had already fallen.
The troops were dispatched again, and they were delayed for another day, which was equivalent to a delay of five days, and when they arrived in Jizhou City, the daylilies were cold.
Of course, this time they couldn't get to the city of Zhuzhou, because they were ambushed on the way, the reinforcements suffered huge losses, the losses were broken, the soldiers and horses were directly halved, and they were chased by the enemy and fled back to Liangshan.
Bian Yuehong looked at the soldiers and horses who fled back in embarrassment, and his teeth were crushed!
After so many years in the army, he has never lost a city, but this time he didn't expect to lose a city while fighting on his own soil!
However, at this moment, it was not helpful for him to regain his anger, and he finally decided to send troops to reinforce the city.
This time, the reinforcements were not ambushed again, and they reached the city of Jizhou unimpeded.
In the end, the city of Mosashi left to them was just a ruin, and if they wanted to rebuild it, the imperial court didn't know how much effort it would take?
Moreover, the most important population of the city was completely gone, and the city was almost a dilapidated empty city, doomed to decay.
——
Back in Siling, Xiang Rong rang wrote a good news and sent it to Fucheng quickly.
Sending the messenger away, Long Yutian shook his fan and asked with a smile, "What are your plans for Lord Xiang now?" Where are we going to attack next? ”
As soon as Xiang Rongrang heard this, he knew that Long Yutian should have an idea in his heart, so he humbly asked for advice: "What does Mr. think?" Why don't you say it for everyone's reference? ”
Long Yutian nodded with a smile and said what he thought.
"Mosaic, Liangshan, and Bianyuan, the three cities are in different geographical locations, in an inverted triangle, and Liangshan is at the point in the middle of the triangle, of which Bianyuan is the farthest away from Mosaic.
This time Bian Yuan was the last to receive the news, and he didn't know if they sent reinforcements for the time being, and he would know if the news came out at night. However, it does not matter whether to send reinforcements or not. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and stroked his beard, "The important thing is that the reinforcements from Liangshan went to Bianzhou City, if we attack Bianyuan again at this time, then the Liangzhou soldiers and horses in the middle position went to Bianzhou, and it will be a little difficult to return to Bianyuan, and when they return to Liangshan from Bianzhou, and then from Liangshan to Bianyuan, it is possible that we have captured Bianyuan City." ”
Once again, he looted Bianyuan City, and even if the exhausted reinforcements finally arrived at Bianyuan, he believed that all that was left was a dilapidated empty city for them.
If the supplies and population of the enemy's two cities are looted, the soldiers and horses of the royal palace can stay on the border for a longer time, while the enemy has to worry about food and grass, and if the siege is successful, it will lay the foundation for the victory of the border siege and reinforcement.
It is basically impossible for Annan's side to save the war.
King Qian was overjoyed after receiving the good news!
This was his first victory since coming to Lingnan, and he decided to celebrate.
When Xia Jing received the news that there was going to be a banquet in the mansion, Zeng Yan had already sent out the posts of each family.
Hongmei advised: "Princess, the banquet is three days later, this is the first time that the mansion has held a banquet, banquet for all forces in Lingnan, as the old lady in the palace, if you don't participate, it will be a lot of fun, so for the sake of the palace and your face, don't run out these days." ”
Xia Jing was just a little surprised when she first learned the news, and now she was lying on the soft couch and said indifferently: "I know, I'm not old, but it's my mother's heart." ”
Hongmei was helpless: "Slave maid, this is also no way, if only Mama Cui was here, she would worry about these things, so that our little maids would be much easier." ”
Speaking of this Mama Cui, she was the princess who was going to marry into the palace, and the Xia family helped her add it.
The main reason is that the ladies of the rich and noble families have several capable slaves, and Xia Jing is married to the prince as a princess, so the Xia family naturally attaches great importance to it.
It's just that I didn't expect that this time Xia Jing choked to death, and in order not to accompany Xia Jing to hell, Mama Cui specially entrusted the relationship to let the palace give her a deed, and promised to let her go back to the countryside to retire.
"Speaking of this Mama Cui, how did she leave the palace at that time, or whose relationship did she leave, and who allowed her to leave the palace to retire?" Xia Jing already knew about this Cui Mama from the little maid's mouth, and she was a little curious about her affairs.
Hongmei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you need a slave to inquire about this matter?" ”
Xia Jing nodded, "This matter can be investigated." ”
Why was the original body choked to death after eating a good breakfast?
Maybe it was because of choking on the itch in her brain, Xia Jing has no memory of that incident, so she doesn't know what the original owner experienced at that time?
This Cui Mama as the personal mother of the original body at that time, when the original body was choked, she must be by her side, since she did not wait for a good master, so that the master was choked to death, she was a slave who was not satisfied and wanted to go out of the house to support the elderly, it was simply a fantasy.
