In city battles in the era of cold weapons, the city wall is the focus between offense and defense. But as long as the attacker climbs to the top of the city and enters a hand-to-hand situation, then for the attacker and defender, the advantages and disadvantages are exchanged, and the attacker can completely rely on
With superior force, they pressed forward continuously to break the city defense.
Of course, for the Han army, this process was a little easier. With the Yan soldiers causing chaos inside and the Han troops attacking outside, the Ye soldiers, whose morale was already low, collapsed in a very short period of time.
They abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another. The Han troops who entered the city received orders from their superiors not to increase the number of killings if the rebels surrendered.
Some Ye soldiers simply spontaneously "uprising on the battlefield" and turned their swords against the "die-hards", especially the troops appointed by Du Chongwei to supervise the war. On the battlefield, the teams that supervise the war are always hated. Some war supervisors
The soldiers were very knowledgeable and imitated each other, expressing their "uprising". As a result, the Ye soldiers rushed forward and killed them.
Sun Li was leading the army on the front line. Seeing this situation, he didn't care. The superiors only said that they would not let the Han army surrender. The Ye soldiers killed each other. No matter how many people died, it had nothing to do with him. His target was Du Chongwei's head.
.After joining the Yan soldiers, Sun Li directly ordered the leading general, without even asking his name, and asked him to lead him to attack Jiedu Mansion.
The general who was pointed out was naturally Zhang Lian, and his nose was almost crooked. This Han general was so arrogant that he simply didn't take him seriously. Without the support of Yan Bing, he could have entered the city so easily.
?However, no matter how tired his heart was, he still had to lower his head and lead the way. Soon, the soldiers of Yan Bing discovered that their commander Zhang was a lot more irritable.
At the same time as the fighting started in the south, the other four gates also launched attacks one after another. Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Moreover, they can also coordinate the battlefield of the south gate. However, the progress is much slower than that of the south gate. However, in
After the situation at the south gate spread, the city was destroyed one after another.
At the South Camp of the Han Army, Liu Zhiyuan went to the battlefield to supervise the battle in person. Standing on a tall observation tower, he watched the Han Army easily occupy the tower and break in smoothly. He couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed: "Okay! If the Yan Army didn't trick me, Zhang Lian will be the first to remember."
achievement!"
"We have been besieging the city for more than two months, but it is difficult to make any progress. Instead, we have suffered a lot of setbacks. As soon as the officials came, the rebel army followed suit and easily defeated this evil city. It was really our destiny!" Murong Yanchao was beside him, patting his horse.
Shit, but this look was directed at Gao Xingzhou.
Gao Xingzhou's face twitched, seeming a little embarrassed.
Liu Zhiyuan's black face looked like a blooming chrysanthemum. He waved his hands and said modestly: "Without the hard work of the soldiers who fought hard, it would be difficult to have the ancient victory today. This is the credit of the army and not my power."
Liu Zhiyuan has become wiser now and should not imitate Zhuang Zong. Although he was only a small role more than 20 years ago, he has witnessed the fate of Li Cunxu who was too proud of himself and unkind to the three armies.
.
"But without His Majesty's power, how could such a change happen in the city? When soldiers attack the enemy, they will never be able to do their best, so they still have to rely on Your Majesty's power!" Su Fengji followed up and said.
"King Zhou did a good job!" With a slight smile and feeling relaxed, Liu Zhiyuan turned his head and praised Liu Chengyou.
"This is all the result of the Deqing commander Guo Rong." Liu Chengyou calmly gave the credit to Guo Rong.
Long Yan was overjoyed, and Liu Zhiyuan did not hesitate to praise him, saying: "Guo Wenzhong has raised a good son. Last time, Lujiadian turned the tide and stabilized the situation of counter-insurgency. This time, he also contributed to breaking the city. Such a young and talented man deserves a heavy reward.
Promote well!"
"Your Majesty, the garrison at the middle gate of the south city has been completely controlled. Most of the Ye soldiers surrendered, and the rest dispersed into the city. Commander Sun Du has led his army to join the Yan soldiers and attack Jiedu Yamen!
The gates are all blocked by stones, wood and other objects, and the city gate is still inaccessible!" Soon a small Imperial Army officer responsible for communicating orders came to report.
"Okay!" Liu Zhiyuan has almost become a crowd-pleaser who can only applaud.
With high spirits, he ordered Gao Xingzhou: "Gao Qing, immediately arrange for the follow-up troops to rush in, wipe out the rebels as quickly as possible, and control the whole city, especially the government offices, warehouses, and halls! Gather the men and seize the city.
Clear away the debris blocking the road!”
"Yes!" Gao Xingzhou responded and hurried away. Murong Yanchao couldn't sit still and followed him to help.
"Come to Yedu, I'm worried about this!" Looking at the "Du" flag that had fallen on the city wall, Liu Zhiyuan took a deep breath and sighed as if he was relieved.
Probably because he had breathed in too much cold air, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help coughing violently several times and shook his body. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Liu Zhiyuan still had a smile on his face and waved his hand: "It's okay."
He said this, but he had no intention of staying on the tower for a long time, letting Liu Chengyou supervise the army. With the help of the chamberlain, he slowly went downstairs and returned to the royal tent. Liu Chengyou looked at Liu Zhiyuan's back from behind, his expression
Dumbly, his eyes were very deep, and he could clearly feel that Liu Zhiyuan's body was trembling a little just now.
It seems...
Liu Chengyou quickly withdrew his gaze, but noticed that Su Fengji was also looking at Liu Zhiyuan's back. When Liu Chengyou stared at him, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked away, looked around, and pointed at Yuancheng, feeling a little guilty.
Said: "I don't know who can take Du Chongwei's head and enjoy the title of feudal prince."
Liu Chengyou looked at Su Fengji calmly and said calmly: "Then it depends on who will be more lucky!"
In the city, when the chaos broke out, Du Chongwei was in the government office, sleeping soundly with his beautiful concubine in his arms. The big actions of the Han army yesterday frightened him to death, especially the Han army's deceptive propaganda, which made him nervous even more.
He was so tense that he felt like everyone looked at him strangely.
Fortunately, God favored him, and the freezing rain fell, so he slept more peacefully last night. He was already prepared to send someone to negotiate a surrender before the Han army launched its next attack.
When Du Chongwei was woken up by his own soldiers in his sleep, he was still angry. When he learned that the war was about to begin, his mind was still a little unclear: "How can the Han army attack the city?"
In his opinion, it had just rained yesterday, the roads were muddy, and the city walls were slippery. The Han army would never dare to attack rashly. When he learned that the Yan soldiers had rebelled and welcomed the Han army into the city, Du Chongwei was immediately excited. He got up and hurriedly put on his clothes and said
He scolded Yan soldiers for being traitors.
He sent people to check the situation, but once they arrived, the sound of killings in the surrounding areas became louder and louder, especially from the south. At this time, Du Chongwei was completely panicked, and quickly summoned his tooth soldiers to strictly guard the Jiedu Yamen. Yedu's
Jiedu Yamen is actually a small city, which is enough to rely on to resist the enemy. Of course, Du Chongwei's purpose is not to use the fortress to resist, but to protect his family and property. He knows very well what will happen after the foreign troops break the city.
The scene was over. At the same time, he sent his confidants out of the city to surrender to Liu Zhiyuan, just to save his life and property. In order to be safe and ensure that the surrender was delivered, he sent a dozen people...
However, Du Chongwei obviously chose the time to surrender too late.
"What do you want to do?" In the lobby, Du Chongwei and his family gathered together. They looked at the soldiers surrounding them with surprise and anger, and shouted angrily: "Why don't you retreat, commander, and let me guard the government office!
"
The two leaders, one tall and one short, are Du Chongwei's most trusted generals. They looked at each other, and the tall one said coldly: "Commander Du, the imperial army has broken through the city, and our brothers don't want to die.
!”
It was obvious that the murderous intention was seen in the eyes of the general. Du Chongwei felt a chill in his heart and said in a panic: "I have sent someone to surrender!"
Hearing this, the tall man smiled coldly: "Simply surrendering, how can we live better in the future? The imperial court has placed a heavy reward on Du Shuai, and we are more willing to use Du Shuai's head to gain a career opportunity!"
As he said that, the tall Yajiang pulled out the knife from his waist. Du Zhongwei was so frightened that he took a few steps back and pointed at him with a trembling finger: "You... how dare you do this? I've always treated you with contempt.
You actually want to kill me for the sake of my brothers! You ungrateful, unfaithful and unjust things!"
"In terms of kindness and loyalty, Du Shuai, you are not qualified to criticize us!" The tall man showed a cruel smile, took two steps very suddenly, and stabbed Du Chongwei's abdomen with a knife, unable to react at all.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the hall, and Du Chongwei's children, wives and concubines were in a panic. However, the hall had been surrounded by tooth soldiers, and the tall man ignored it and happily cut off Du Chongwei's head. The blood and cruelty made him even more excited.
Before he could take a few breaths of joy, a knife pierced his chest from behind. Under the severe pain, he only heard a sneer: "It's better for me to get the benefits of this title!"
A cheerful smile appeared on the face of the short man. He held the blood-stained knife in his right hand and held Du Zhongwei's head in his left hand. He turned to look at Du Zhongwei's family in the hall and said with a fierce look: "Kill!"
The surrounding tooth soldiers were very obedient. They raised their swords and slashed at Du Chongwei's son and female family members, intending to kill them all.
After running around, only a young and beautiful woman stood up and calmly shouted to the rebels: "You can't kill me, I am the daughter of Gao Xingzhou, the commander-in-chief of the imperial court!"
These words really frightened the Gan Ya soldiers, and they all looked at the short Ya General.
He rolled his eyes, raised his knife and raised his head, saluted Mr. Gao, and said with a smile: "Of course you can't kill Gao Shuai's daughter. If you come, please come down and protect her."
When Mrs. Gao was taken away from the hall, the pitiful wailing in the hall came to her ears again, and she sighed silently...
In the original history, Du Chongwei's rebellion lasted for nearly half a year. Even with Liu Zhiyuan's personal expedition, Yedu was still not captured. Not to mention that the imperial court exhausted the treasury, the casualties of the Han army were still very large. In the end, the city still had food and crops.
Unable to continue, Du Chongwei surrendered, ending the rebellion "honorably".
That rebellion was a heavy blow to the fledgling Han Dynasty.
This time, Liu Zhiyuan's personal expedition was much earlier, and the court's power was stronger and better prepared, so he was declared a traitor in three months. Even so, the time was long enough.
However, Du Chongwei was unlucky. He didn't have time to surrender, so he was killed by the Ya soldiers, and almost all his family was wiped out...
