Chapter 414: The Three Clans

At noon on a sunny day, after Xiao Zhiyi sent down the news of Taiwei Fan Li, he sat in his yard and muttered and muttered repeatedly.

"Crazy...... Gain and loss are crazy...... This kind of order is also given! He slapped himself again, and the fan was loud, "I'm also crazy, knowing that it is not advisable, and still doing what he orders." ”

However, the order has been given and cannot be taken back.

The Taiwei Mansion and the Imperial City Forbidden Army were already acting in the city at this moment, and a group of soldiers and cavalry spread through the streets in long columns, and the other famous families in the city who received the news were all stunned.

"Captain, what are you going to do?!"

"Self-destruct!"

Soon, the sound of roaring footsteps stopped at the mansion where the guards of the four gates lived, and before the guards on both sides of the gate could ask a word, they were pressed to the ground by several soldiers and tied up.

The courtyard door was kicked open by the rough soldiers.

A crowd of men with swords and spears poured in, and the courtyard full of flowers and birds was broken by a sudden movement, and someone from the courtyard and the servants who came out of the house stepped forward to ask, "Who are you under the command of.......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked to the ground by the back of the knife, and the surrounding guards, domestic servants, and maids saw such soldiers and soldiers coming in, and they were so frightened that they took a step back, not daring to speak more, and timidly watched them come in, guarding all parts of the house.

After a while, the old lady of this mansion was helped out by the maid, looked at a lieutenant colonel who led the team, and asked politely: "My son and you are colleagues, but he has done something wrong, if he does something sorry for His Majesty and sorry for Wu Guo, you can kill him at will, and you can copy it at home!" ”

"Not really, old lady."

The lieutenant handed over his hand and explained his intentions, "Our soldiers will be ordered by the captain to protect the families of the generals defending the city. ”

With an arched hand, the lieutenant took a step back, waved his hand, and the soldiers he brought were stationed in the mansion, and there were sergeants standing everywhere from the main entrance to the side door and the back door.

The wind slowly blew through the city, and in the soft sunlight, not only this mansion, but also the soldiers who spread across the street smashed the doors of the other three guards' mansions, and some of them resisted, and all of them were knocked down, and all the guards and servants in the house were taken away and transferred to the vicinity of the city wall to help defend the city.

When the chaos spread, there were also domestic servants who escaped, and with the changes in the family, they quickly rushed to the city wall where the head of the house was.

On the north gate tower, there are many swords, the archers are waiting, Cheng Guang, who is patrolling the city defense, is the north gate guard, and he and the other three guards are not from the family.

So he and the other three generals were just filling the vacancies in the past, and they didn't really lead the troops.

But after Yaozhou was broken, the four of them were exceptionally promoted, and they were thrown to the four gates to guard the city gate to resist the siege of the Xia army, and they also understood in their hearts that this was the life of sending them to death, but they could be entrusted with important tasks at this time, and the four people who could only fill the vacancies in the past were more or less willing to give it a try and protect their families and defend the country.

But this afternoon, one of the servants of the family was brought up by the soldiers of the city.

Cheng Guang learned the news and returned to the city tower, probably thinking that there was something to do at home, but what he heard was the content that made his whole person feel like an electric shock.

The figure staggered under the eaves of the city tower, looking at the wall battlements in a daze.

On the city wall, the eyes of the soldiers under his command looked over, and the soldiers stepped forward to help, their eyes were red, and their voices were low: "General! ”

There were more and more soldiers around, and they also heard the servant's words, and passed them on to their colleagues behind, everyone was hot-blooded, and suddenly heard that the captain sent troops to hold the guard's family hostage, and the crowd was angry for a while, not that they loved Cheng Guang who was airborne, but Fan Li's approach made them chill.

What's even more chilling is that many people from the families in the city left Shengkang to escape the military disaster, and their families wanted to go out of the city, but they were prevented.

The grudge has long been buried in my heart, and now, it has finally been ignited.

"General!"

"General!"

On the city wall, the surrounding soldiers shouted one after another, Cheng Guang slowly raised his face, and his eyes swept over the dense crowd.

"I am waiting for a good family, and I have never spared my life to be loyal to the Wu State, however, I have read and heard about the letter yesterday, and I will press this matter down, so as not to disturb the enemy's plan to disturb the army's mind, but ...... But you have also heard, I am a general, but my family is held hostage by these moths of the country, and I am a hot-blooded man who has done such a distrustful act, how can I still serve it, and you have not been friends with my comrades for a long time, but you are also a generous and loyal person, rather than serving such despicable people, it is better to take advantage of the chaos to open the city gates, welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city, and share the unification of the world, peace and prosperity! ”

The partial general Cheng Guang snorted and pulled out the war knife at his waist: "The court is corrupt, so that the traitorous ministers are in charge, and the rhizomes of the big tree of Wu Guo are rotten, and the body of the tree can survive forever." ”

After speaking, he clenched the hilt of his sword and hissed: "Open the city gate and welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city-"

At the head of the city, dozens of people followed the shouting, and then hundreds of thousands, stretching for several miles, many soldiers were still kept in the dark, and when the matter came, thousands of Wu defenders in front of them had poured down the inner city wall into the street, and the soldiers below had already received the news and opened the heavy city gate.

Sent a few fast horses to rush to the field, was setting up a formation, ready to attack the city of Yizhou army received the news, Wei Yan was stunned on horseback for a while, he has always been good at making good use of Qi, at the moment first sent twenty horsemen to follow the other party into the city to check the details, the rest of the soldiers and horses, leaving only two thousand people to guard the position, the rest of the foot soldiers, light cavalry followed him to the north gate.

At the same time, the four guards who were escorted over the courtyard in the palace of the guards, before they arrived at the place, the soldiers and horses guarding the city had already been killed, and the Taiwei Mansion and the forbidden army of the Imperial City that were killed and scattered were shocked by this wave of sudden impact, and resisted a little, and ran through the streets with their heads, shouting in horror: "Cheng Guang of the North Gate rebelled and made a rebellionβ€”β€”"

However, the situation of the other three gates is not the same, some generals are uncertain, and some are like Cheng Guang, who immediately made a decision, opened the city gate, and counterattacked the soldiers and horses of the Taiwei Mansion in the city.

On the west side of the gate, the siege of the city has begun, and countless arrows are densely falling on the city wall, flying into the surging crowd of siegers below the city, splashing pieces of blood.

Zhang Liao of the state army was in command, Guan Ping and Zhang Bao took the lead in participating in the siege as generals, and it was not very intense at first, and the defender Zhu Zhao was still confident to hold on.

Actively encourage the soldiers and defend the city to move closer to the most fierce part of the offensive, from time to time someone was nailed to the ground by arrows shot from the city, but at this moment everyone only wanted to defend the city and protect the people behind them.

More people rushed forward, carrying logs and gravel from the battlements and smashing them into a sea of people like a swarm of bees.

Half an hour later, the battle on a certain section of the city wall suddenly became fierce, Zhu Zhao rushed over with his soldiers, the sticky blood on the ground almost made him fall, his vision moved forward, the crowded soldiers were torn open a gap, and several people with flesh and blood all over their bodies killed and pushed the figure blocking the road, and rushed towards him.

"General Wu, Your Majesty is already the Duke of My Xia Kingdom, why do you have to resist again!"

The snake spear provoked a Wu soldier and smashed it on the ground, the corpse was smashed inhumanly, and the tall Zhang Bao shook the blood beads on the snake spear, and strode in the blood accumulated on the city wall.

"The country of Wu is over, why bother to keep foolish loyalty."

On another section of the city wall, Guan Ping dragged a glaive knife and brought more than a dozen personal soldiers to kill this side.

Zhu Zhao raised his eyes and saw that the soldiers of Xia Guo were constantly standing on the city wall, and the corpses of his subordinates were also spreading out, and he held his war knife high in his hand.

"Ahh ”

Blood gushed out, Zhu Zhao stared at his eyes, and fell straight down.

"Your generals are dead, throw your weapons on the ground, you can avoid death!" Guan Ping waved the Glaive Knife, and his voice resounded.

The battle on the head of the city gradually subsided, and the city gate was opened a moment later, and Guan Yu and Zhang Liao led Zhou Cang and Gao Shun into the city with soldiers and horses.

"Immediately spread throughout the city, Shengkang has fallen, our army only blames Gu Chongwen, Fan Li, Xiao Zhiyi and others for their crimes, and the rest can be spared death."

The cavalry announcing the summons rushed out and shouted through the streets.

In the bustling huge city, the flames were burning, and the blood, mutilated corpses were still swept forward with the killing, and the east city gate was surrendered by the guards, and after the door was opened, the eight thousand water soldiers who feinted to attack this side, as well as Zhao Kuian's surrender troops were approved by Zhou Yu, and they were killed into the city.

A golden-faced and long-bearded, tiger-eyed and thick-eyed Xia general, wearing gold chain mail, rode into the city first with a boring horse, and on the street, there were recalcitrant Wu generals, and someone rushed up to wave a knife at him.

The horse's mane and cloak were sprinkled out, and the soldiers of Wu Guo who pounced dragged out a long line of blood and flew backwards and smashed on the door panel of the shop on the street. ”

Zhao Kuian also swung his blade.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Xia State Navy and the Wu State Navy Army descended like a tide from both sides behind Yuwen Chengdu, surging into the streets

……

Guan Yu, who was in green robe and golden armor, hung the green dragon sword upside down, riding a horse on the long street leading to the imperial city, and the green robe gently stroked in the breeze.

The fighting and screaming in the city also penetrated the sunlight from afar, and a Wu soldier was knocked down by a war horse on the street, trampled to death, and there were not many Wu soldiers who resisted around.

Soon after the troops of Yizhou, Bingzhou, and Wu poured into the staggered streets, there was chaos for two hours, and gradually fell silent, and the people who took advantage of the chaos to burn and kill the looters were caught, and they were directly killed and hung under the eaves on the side of the street, the breeze was soothing, and the rows of hanging corpses slowly swayed.

"Immediately attack the imperial city, and capture Fan Li, Xiao Zhiyi, Gu Chongwen, and their family members."

Guan Yu slowly opened his eyes and stroked his chin on horseback, "...... Your Majesty has an order, Yi three clans! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, more than 50,000 people gathered at the main gate of the imperial city, and the siege equipment built before outside the city was pushed in and began to be assembled.

Imperial.

Most of the soldiers at the head of the city are the children of the side branches of the big clans, and they have never fought before, and when they saw the scene of the imminent siege of the city, many people were so frightened that they held their weapons against the wall and squatted on the ground and cried.

Some couldn't stand it anymore, crying and begging the guards to open the city gates, and simply surrendered.

There are still more than 20,000 people in the imperial city, but there is no need for the Wu State to defend it anymore, relying on only one imperial city, it is impossible to resist the soldiers of the Xia State, even if it cannot be attacked for a long time, the siege is half a month, and the soldiers in the entire imperial city have to starve to death.

The guards of the imperial city were temporarily filled, and the previous general, who was the younger brother of Prime Minister Gu Chongwen, had already fled with the Gu family.

"Surrender......"

He whispered.

Soon, Bing Feng entered the imperial city, first of all, Zhongshu Province and the Prime Minister's Mansion were breached, and Gu Chongwen and his family members were not found, only Xiao Zhiyi was obtained, at this moment he was beaten by the soldiers, his hair was scattered, and his face was covered with blood was taken away, and he was taken away together, as well as some side branches of his family, and his direct family members have long been gone.

"This general, please be merciful, I am willing to surrender, and I can also be a loyal minister!"

"Before, I waited for ...... eyes without beads"

"Run?"

Guan Yu frowned, ignored Xiao Zhiyi's pleading, turned his head to look at the imperial city guard, this person knew a little bit, nodded and arched his hand.

"The last general knows where they have gone, and he is willing to take the general's soldiers and capture them all."

Guan Yu raised his hand, and urged the horse to lead Zhang Liao and other generals to the palace, and the generals of the imperial city followed Zhou Cang and two thousand soldiers of the Yizhou army, and immediately left the imperial city and went to the southeast of Shengkang.

As for Xiao Zhiyi on the ground, he was still crawling on the ground, trying to grab the horse's hooves, and then his legs were grabbed by the soldiers and dragged away on the ground.

Probably wait until everyone is ready to do it.
