2-21 Cutting off the robe and breaking the righteousness
At the Xibian Gate of Liangzhou, all the sergeants looked at Cai Yong blankly, as if they couldn't believe their ears. How could they resist the Turks after tearing down the city gate? This order was really unbelievable.
Cai Yong repeated again: "Quickly tear down the city gate, lower the suspension bridge, pull up the thousand-pound gate, and lock it with iron chains. Don't leave anyone on the outside of the city wall. Everyone should go inside to deal with the rebels."
The military order fell like a mountain. Although the soldiers did not understand the general's intention, they still carried out the order to the letter. They took off the door shaft of the Xibian Gate and unloaded the two wooden doors to one side. Seven or eight soldiers pulled the winch and slowly opened the door.
The suspension bridge was lowered, but the winch malfunctioned and got stuck. Cai Yong became impatient when he saw it. He personally used a big ax and chopped the winch to pieces with three blows. The suspension bridge fell with a roar, and the inner city gate was also destroyed.
Open it, remove the door panel, pull up the thousand-pound iron gate, and the road leading to Liangzhou City is finally clear.
Cai Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers to turn the crossbows around and aim at the city to fire. The city defenders used both feet to move the crossbows. The strings were fast and the arrows were heavy and sharp. They were so heavy that the guards and soldiers could not lift them.
At first, Yuan Feng sent people to charge several times but failed, and only dozens of people died in vain.
Yuan Feng was so anxious that he ignored the crossbows on the city and jumped out and shouted: "We are all descendants of Liangzhou, why bother killing each other? Cai Yong wants to dedicate the city to the Turks, do you also want to rebel with him?"
What?"
The Liangzhou soldiers stopped shooting and looked at each other. It turned out that General Cai was going to sacrifice the city. He was the rebel, and others were the real ones who fought against the rebellion. Although the first rule of eating food and serving as a soldier is to listen to the commander,
But it doesn't mean that the soldiers don't have their own ideas, and everyone has no objection to the guards and the arms, but dedicating the city to the Turks is another matter.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Cai Yong felt a little uneasy. He quickly reassured: "The situation in Liangzhou is over. If we don't surrender now, we will have no chance. When the Great Khan makes me the King of Liangzhou, I will give you all three promotions."
Most of the soldiers remained motionless.
Cai Yong shouted: "Fire the arrows!" But Han Feng, the guard of the west gate, stopped him by shouting: "Stop!" The archers were neither able to shoot nor not, and were at a loss to make up their mind.
Cai Yong asked: "Han Feng, do you want to rebel?"
Han Feng knelt down and said: "Sir, it is not Han Feng who wants to rebel. We cannot surrender. The Turks have no faith. There is no good fruit to be gained by following them. Sir, you must think twice."
Cai Yong kicked Han Feng over, drew his sword and shouted: "Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"
At this time, a louder shout came from the guards and soldiers: "Brothers of the Liangzhou Army, Cai Yong sold you and gave you to Liangzhou. What benefit did you get? You are not just a pawn for the Turks. When the time comes, you will
You are working hard in the front, while the Turks are bullying your wives and children in the back. Don't you still understand this?"
Cai Yong shouted: "Fire the arrow! Don't listen to their nonsense."
However, the soldiers stopped shooting their bows and arrows. Liangzhou is located in the Hexi Corridor and has always been a bridgehead for east-west exchanges. Everyone is well aware of the habits of the Turks, including massacres and cruel punishments, especially in the treatment of foreigners and aliens.
They were very cruel when they were Christians and surrendered to the Turks. People like Cai Yong may have a good life, but ordinary soldiers like them are not expected to work hard in front of the battle.
When Cai Yong saw no one responding, he wanted to kill people to establish his authority. The defenders at Xibianmen were Han Feng's subordinates. Killing Han Feng would subdue them. Han Feng saw the murderous intent in Cai Yong's eyes and hurriedly rolled around and hid.
On the side, he drew his sword and said: "Brothers, Cai Yong wants to sell Liangzhou, let's fight him!"
There were only seven or eight of Cai Yong's loyal followers, and they were immediately subdued by the Ximen defenders. Cai Yong himself was also tied up by Wu Hua Da. Han Feng pushed him to the side of the road and shouted in the direction of the guards: "The rebel Cai Yong has arrived.
was captured, we surrendered."
The guards and soldiers rushed to the top of the city. Knowing that the situation was over, the Liangzhou troops put down their weapons and raised their hands. However, Yuan Feng shouted: "Brothers, Cai Yong's rebellion has nothing to do with you. Please pick up your weapons.
We still have to deal with the Turks side by side."
Although Cai Yong was tied up, his arrogance did not diminish. He jumped up and shouted: "Let me go quickly, or you will be able to see me when the army arrives."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge cloud of smoke and dust was already rising in the west. A group of cavalry came from the Turkic camp ten miles away and rushed towards the west gate of Liangzhou. Han Feng quickly asked the soldiers to install the city gate and pull up the suspension bridge, but the winch was broken.
The iron ropes were broken. The suspension bridge was extremely heavy and could not be pulled up without suitable tools. The iron hooves of the Turkic army struck the ground and also struck the hearts of the soldiers. The hands of the soldiers who installed the city gate were shaking so hard that the door shaft
I can't install it no matter what.
Seeing the Turkic army getting closer and closer, Yuan Feng asked Han Feng urgently: "Can the inner city gate still be closed?"
Han Feng said: "The Thousand Jin Gate can be lowered."
"Okay, just leave the suspension bridge and the gate of the urn city open. Don't leave anyone on the wall. Let the soldiers come inside and aim their crossbows at the urn city. When the time comes..."
Han Feng raised his hand and said, "Follow the order!"

Cai Yong sneered and said: Do you think Liangzhou can really hold it? Stop dreaming, it’s still too late to repent now..."
Yuan Feng suddenly interrupted him and said, "General Cai, I want to borrow something from you."
Cai Yong said in shock: "What?"
"Your head." As soon as he finished speaking, the sword flashed and Cai Yong's head flew into the sky. Blood spurted out of Lao Gao's mouth. Yuan Feng caught the head and threw it to a member of the bodyguard's army and said: "Take it."
This one goes to Nancheng, and the Liangzhou army will naturally surrender when they see it."
Mr. Bai hurried away with his head and dozens of soldiers. Here Yuan Feng led the troops and aimed their crossbows and other weapons at Wengcheng, waiting for the Turkic army to enter the city.
Chu Jian led 3,000 Mongolian cavalry and galloped towards him. He had no choice but to speed up his horse. His horse's tails were running in a straight line. At this time, he only had one thing on his mind, which was to conquer Liangzhou to repay his father Khan. At the same time,
It can also give the brothers a good way out. Yuan Feng and the others are too stupid. What can they do as soldiers of Liangzhou Prefecture? Why not work together for the Great Khan and train together, kill enemies, drink wine and eat meat as before?
, how happy those days are.
The distance of ten miles was reached in a blink of an eye. Sure enough, the Xibian Gate of Liangzhou was opened wide, the suspension bridge was lowered, and even the iron cables of the suspension bridge were hanging down.
Soon, Chu Jian didn't have time to think too much and rushed across the suspension bridge first. The urn city was also empty. Through the open inner city gate, one could see the flat and wide inner city avenue.
Chu Jian shouted loudly and rushed into the inner gate on horseback. The Mongolian knights behind him also swarmed in, but suddenly there was a loud noise and the thousand-jin iron gate installed in the inner gate fell, sealing Chu Jian and more than ten knights in the city.
, hundreds of Mongolian knights huddled together in the urn city. Those in front could not move forward, while those behind were still squeezing in. People shouted and horses neighed into a mess.
With a crash, a row of archers appeared on the city wall, and a sharp shout came: "Shoot!"
Arrows rained down, ghosts cried and wolves howled. Under the intensive rain of arrows, the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy casualties. The few who survived hid behind the dead horses and used short bows to fight back against the city wall. Although they were superb in archery, they were sure to hit every one.
After a gap appears, there will always be a Liangzhou Army to fill it.
No matter how powerful the short bows of the cavalry were, they could not compete with the crossbows of the city defenders. The short spear-like arrows could even shoot through the war horses. In an instant, the inside of the urn city was filled with corpses. The Mongolian army outside the city was helpless. They wanted to attack the city without a ladder.
They wanted to rush in and rescue their comrades, but that would be tantamount to death, so they could only dismount and use bows and arrows to shoot at the top of the city in an attempt to reduce the pressure on their comrades.
After a while, there was no sound in the urn city. The hot blood slowly flowed out, melting the snow and gathering into a stream of red and black water. It was shocking. The Mongolian army outside the city never saw the opponent's defenders appear. They watched.
The Xibianmen Suspension Bridge was lowered and the city gate was wide open, but they didn't dare to rush in. The little prince who led the team was also trapped inside. If he returned without success, he would definitely be punished by the sweat. When he was in a dilemma, it was like a heavy rain.
The arrows that poured down usually helped them solve their troubles. Cao Yanhui had worked hard to run Liangzhou for many years, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were spent on the city defense. It was not in vain. The power of the powerful city-defending crossbows was extremely amazing, and the machine-operated crossbows were even more lethal.
It is extremely powerful. The arrows do not use ordinary feathers as tail fins, but use slotted methods, so they shoot very high. More than a hundred arrows can be shot out in an instant. In addition, there are a large number of gunpowder, poison and smoke weapons, which can be smashed down at once.
The light cavalry force of 3,000 men could not hold out, but it suddenly collapsed and ran away.
When the Thousand Jin Gate was closed, Chu Jian had just rushed into the city. When he looked back, he saw that the follow-up troops had been cut off. He immediately understood that he had been tricked. He gritted his teeth and was about to run forward. On the roofs on all sides,
Hundreds of archers appeared at the street corner, pointing their powerful crossbows at the small army that was trapped in the siege. They did not shoot or speak. At this time, shrill screams came from the barbican. Chu Jian knew that his men
He was being massacred, his heart was cut by a knife, he roared and ran forward,
Suddenly arrows rained down, and all Chu Jian's entourage were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Only one man and one horse were left in the open space inside the Xibian Gate. The cold wind blew, and a voice came from the city wall: "Wu Lang, please stay, let's
Still good brothers."
Chu Jian's horse was spinning uneasily, his eyes were wide open with anger, and his eyes were about to bleed, and he replied bitterly: "Don't force me! Chu Jian can't be an ungrateful person!"
The thousand-jin gate slowly rose, and Yuan Feng's face was revealed from the city wall: "Chu Jian, you were merciful that day, and I will return the favor to you today. You can leave."
Chu Jian remained silent and rode out of the city.
There was darkness in the distance, and the Turkic army was coming in full force.
