The first gate of Yizhou City that was broken through by the Chu army was the east gate.
The east gate was the focus of the Chu army's attack. After a fierce and fierce battle, the place was full of corpses and blood flowed into rivers. However, the thick east gate of Yizhou City was also knocked open by the tiger-headed hammer at this time. At the east gate, both sides
The soldiers fought hand to hand and fought to the death.
The sound of "boom" suddenly sounded from behind.
Everyone saw that the Southern Cavalry Regiment of the Chu Army was charging towards them with great momentum. The momentum was frightening.
It seemed that the Southern Cavalry Regiment was expected to charge into the city, and the Northwest Cavalry Regiment in the city also began to usher in.
The Southern Cavalry Regiment rushed through the east gate, broke into the city, and immediately came into contact with the Northwest Cavalry Regiment. The cavalry from both sides began a fierce horse battle in the city.
Obviously, the horse fighting skills of the cavalry of the Southern Cavalry Regiment are not the same as those of the Northwest Cavalry Regiment. They are at least two levels behind. Although the Southern Cavalry Regiment has an obvious numerical advantage, in a close encounter, the Northwest Cavalry is one against two.
He was able to handle it with ease. During the bloody battle between the two sides, the swords clashed and the horses neighed. There was blood and killing everywhere inside and outside the east gate.
The east gate was broken, and the news spread quickly. The morale of the Chu army's officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, while the morale of the defenders was severely hit.
The defenders could no longer hold on any longer, and many soldiers of the Chu army climbed up to the top of the city via ladders, where they fought bloody battles with the defenders.
…
Xue Poye sat on his horse, looking at Yizhou City in his palms, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As a commander who entered the battlefield for the first time, leading a group of soldiers and horses who could not even be called real soldiers, they just made progress together in this battle, and were even about to break through Yizhou City. For Xue Poye, this was really a big deal.
Small achievements.
But listening to the soldiers' screams before they died and watching the soldiers fall into a pool of blood one after another, his heart was filled with grief and anger.
This is a civil war. Whether it is the Chu Army, the Yizhou Army, or the Northwest Army, they are all soldiers of the Chu State and are all compatriots. However, due to the political ambitions of some powerful figures, they have become tools of war.
Their flesh and blood just fell uselessly in a pool of blood.
"Sir." Seeing Xue Poye's abnormal expression, Ximen Lei Zang said softly, "Sir, you should be happy when the city of Yizhou is destroyed."
Xue Poye glanced at Ximen Lei Zang and sighed: "Brother Ximen, in this battle in Yizhou alone, countless brothers were buried like this. Next, we have to advance to the northwest and attack Yongzhou, and we don't know how many brothers will be buried."
Barren hills in the northwest of Bones...how can you make me happy!"
Ximen Lei Zang's expression also darkened, and he slowly said: "One general's success can lead to the death of thousands of bones. This Mingyue King wants to take over the world, but he wants countless people from the northwest to accompany him to death."
"After this battle, the combat effectiveness of our army will make a huge leap. If we fight again in the future, our brothers will not lose their lives easily." Xue Poye was slightly pleased that this battle could not only capture Yizhou
The city can also fundamentally train the Chu army's combat skills and combat awareness.
Suddenly, another burst of cheers was heard from the front, but the north gate of Yizhou City had also been breached.
In Yizhou City, although the northwest cavalry was extremely powerful, it could not match the Chu army's superior numbers. Thousands of cavalry from the southern cavalry regiment surrounded the northwest cavalry regiment, which had less than a quarter of its strength, and fought round after round.
Although the Southern Cavalry Regiment also suffered heavy casualties during the sprint and fighting, the Northwest Cavalry also suffered heavy losses. In the end, only three to four hundred cavalry were left fighting hard.
Yang Yijun's saber was stained with blood. Looking at the surrounded northwest cavalry, he shouted coldly: "If we don't surrender, do you really want to die cleanly?"
The northwest cavalry who had fought hard still maintained their formation, facing several times the number of the southern cavalry regiment, without any fear. Some people even sneered and said: "Does the Chu army only talk such nonsense? We northwest warriors would rather die than surrender.
...It’s not that easy to kill us all.”
"Okay!" Yang Yijun looked indifferent. Although he admired these northwest cavalry in his heart, they were enemies and rebels after all. He swung his sword and said: "Kill!"
The Southern Cavalry Regiment on all sides once again attacked the Northwest Cavalry like a tide. Each attack caused the exhausted Northwest Cavalry to lose many people.
At the top of the city, Hong Wei chopped down several Chu soldiers in succession, and then retreated to the tower under the protection of two generals.
"General, we can't hold on any longer. I beg the general to break out!"
Hong Wei shook his head and said in a calm voice: "Now that the Chu army has captured Yizhou City, the city is full of Chu troops, and the surrounding areas are also surrounded by Chu troops. How can we break out of the siege?"
"General, we are willing to protect the general when he breaks out. The general rides a fast horse. With the general's ability and our protection at his side, it is possible to break out," the general said.
Hong Wei laughed loudly: "I, Hong Wei, have led the army for many years and fought many battles, but I would never abandon my subordinates to break out of an encirclement alone. Yizhou City fell, and I had no shame to see Dou Shuaihe again.
King Mingyue, today we can only fight to the death to give an explanation to Commander Dou and King Mingyue."
"General...!" Several generals tried to persuade him again.
Hong Wei stood up with his sword in hand, shook his head and said: "No need to say anymore, I have made up my mind. Brothers, we will kill the enemy today and serve the King of the Moon!" He took the lead and rushed into the crowd, fighting with all his strength.
The generals shouted in unison and rushed forward.
Although the fierce fighting is still going on, there is no doubt that Yizhou City has been breached and has become the control of the Chu army.
In the city, the local soldiers of Yizhou did not put up much unnecessary resistance. Amid the strong military strength and the intimidation of the Chu army, they knelt down and surrendered in batches.
It was the Northwest Army under Hong Wei who made the final resistance.
The fighting will of the Northwest Army deeply surprised the Chu Army. These people seemed to be really like steel. No one surrendered voluntarily. Even if they were seriously injured, they still had to fight in the final duel. The Chu Army either killed them directly or tied them up.
The war raged until early in the morning, and some sporadic fighting was still going on in Yizhou City. However, all four gates were broken, and Yizhou City was completely controlled by the Chu army.
All the people in the city huddled in their homes, terrified.
Before the Chu army attacked the city, they were naturally ordered not to harm the people in the city, so the entire army obeyed this order.
When the flames of war were completely extinguished, Xue Poye slowly entered the city, surrounded by his Yulin Guards and a group of cavalry.
Stepping on the corpses everywhere and smelling the disgusting smell of blood in the air, Xue Poye felt extremely depressed and depressed. He now fully understood the devastating consequences of war.
People died and the city was destroyed.
A large number of Yizhou Army put down their weapons and were gathered together by the Chu Army. Many Yizhou Army officers and soldiers squinted on the spot, not caring about what fate they would face next. They wanted to have a good rest first. Now that the city was broken, their fate was over.
Being in the hands of others, the heart that had always been tired and nervous felt relaxed at this time.
Die or die, go to hell.
The total number of the Northwest Army left behind in Yizhou City is 14,000. After two major battles and countless intrusive skirmishes, most of them were killed and wounded. Now, only 3,000 to 4,000 people are left, still stubbornly resisting, facing this dozens of times of swarming.
The Chu army, no matter how capable they were, would only be destined to be slaughtered.
Xue Poye was walking in the city surrounded by people when he saw the Chu army in front pushing a group of prisoners over.
There was one person in the lead. When Xue Poye took a look at his official uniform, he knew it was Yin Houzhang of Yizhou Prefecture. Behind him were many civil and military officials from Yizhou City. Everyone's face was full of frustration.
The officials were pushed not far in front of Xue Poye. When the Chu soldiers escorting them saw the commander, they hurriedly stopped and saluted in unison.
Xue Poye looked at Hou Zhang coldly, and Hou Zhang also looked up at Xue Poye.
"You...are Xue Poye?" Hou Zhang didn't believe that this young man in his twenties was really the commander who designed the attack on Yizhou City and commanded hundreds of thousands of Chu troops?
"I am!"
Hou Zhang sneered and said: "Congratulations, Yizhou City was destroyed, and you took the greatest credit."
Xue Poye was expressionless: "Do you think it's worthy of congratulations? Because of your cowardice and your insidiousness, you surrendered to the Northwest Army. How many people died in this battle? Look at the blood at your feet, they are worth shedding.
?”
The corner of Hou Zhang's mouth twitched, his expression darkened, and Nuonuo said: "If I don't surrender... the people in the city will...!"
Xue Poye interrupted him rudely: "You resisted our army for several days, but you couldn't resist the Northwest Army for one or two days? You should know that as long as you resist for one or two days, I will
You will lead troops to the rescue, and you will be promoted to a higher position. At least... you are worthy of the brothers who guard Yihe... Thousands of brothers died at the hands of the Northwest Army, but you surrendered without hesitation, and you found such a
Reason, Hou Zhang, you are really shameless. Look, following the Northwest Army, you can't even expect reinforcements... You are such a stupid pig." He ordered: "Send someone to escort these traitors to Kyoto and hand them over to the Holy Lord.
!”
After Hou Zhang and others were taken into custody, Yang Yijun galloped over and reported: "Commander, Yizhou City has been controlled, the Yizhou Army has surrendered, and the Northwest Army has been pacified."
Xue Poye nodded and said: "Um... where is the lion general now?"
"Hong Wei... failed to fight and committed suicide!" Yang Yijun sighed.
Xue Poye looked up at the night sky and murmured: "The Northwest Army... is indeed loyal and brave!"
…
…
The news of Yizhou's victory soon reached Kyoto by means of flying pigeons.
Originally, Kyoto had received news before that Yizhou had been lost and the Northwest Army had advanced into Qingzhou. In those days, the court was always worried when they came to the court. Everyone knew that once Yizhou and Qingzhou were captured at the same time, it would be difficult to pacify Yongzhou.
It’s getting even more difficult.
The good news from Yizhou immediately made the whole court feel relieved. In addition to praising the emperor's majesty, the ministers naturally also praised Xue Poye greatly.
Some people are happy about this good news, and some are unhappy.
The Queen Mother Han Min in Cining Palace was extremely angry.
She looked very unhappy. As soon as she got the news, she threw the flowers in her hands on the ground and trampled them into mud.
The man in black sitting opposite her sighed and said softly: "Why are you so angry? Your angry look makes me feel heartbroken."
The Queen Mother bit her lip, glared at the man in black, and said softly: "What should we do now? Xue Poye's army is said to be about to advance to the northwest... What should we do?"
The man in black said calmly: "Are you worried about the prince in the northwest?"
"How long has it been and you are still jealous?" The Queen Mother looked at the man in black with charming eyes: "You know, in my heart... I only have you in my heart...!" She stood up, twisted her waist, and walked
He went to the man in black, sat in his arms, and said softly: "Fool, if Xue Poye captures Yongzhou, then we will never have a chance again... Only when King Mingyue reaches Kyoto, can I
Only by controlling him can we live a good life."
The man in black smiled bitterly, his voice full of helplessness: "Min'er, can we really live a good life if Mingyue King comes to Beijing? We should...leave here...I've been having nightmares for a while, and I'm always unhappy.
It seems like something is going to happen...!" He suddenly hugged the Queen Mother tightly, and his breathing became rapid: "I...I'm afraid that I will lose you, Min'er, let's go...let's leave Kyoto, okay...I will
Treat you well and make you happy...!"
The Queen Mother's expression turned cold, she pushed away the man in black and said coldly: "You will run away. If you want to leave, I won't go with you if I don't stop you. My most precious youth was wasted by Deqing."
In this cage-like palace... I want to seek justice for my lost youth, I want repayment...!"
"You... so what if you achieve what you want?" The man in black said calmly: "You are just a woman after all!"
"What's wrong with the woman?" The Queen Mother's eyes were as cold as a blade: "I am a woman who wants to trample everyone in the world under my feet. I want them to bow to me... I want to be their queen, haha...
…!”
She laughed a little crazily, and the man in black shook his head silently.
After the laughter stopped, the Queen Mother hugged the man in black again, stretched out her small tongue, and gently licked the man in black's neck, which made the man in black tremble all over.
"Help me, you have to help me!" the Queen Mother said softly.
"How can I help?"
"The imperial troops are advancing smoothly. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to us... We must organize them!" the Queen Mother said firmly.
The man in black sighed and said: "Are you confused? How can we stop hundreds of thousands of troops? Who can stop it? Now the court is full of confidence, and Liu Zichan and Lan Wuqing firmly support Xue Poye. They are
It is impossible to withdraw our troops."
"Of course we can't order them to withdraw their troops." The Queen Mother licked her lips, her eyes were full of charm, and she said softly with an indescribable seductiveness: "But we can think of ways to force them to withdraw their troops."
"What method?"
"I do have a solution...but I need your help." The Queen Mother said softly: "Are you willing to help me?"
"What method?"
The Queen Mother stared at the man in black with her spring eyes, and slowly said word by word: "Kill her!"
The man in black was shocked: "Who?"
"Liu Zichan!" The Queen Mother's spring eyes suddenly showed murderous intent: "Kill Liu Zichan, and once the monarch is dead, the court will be in turmoil, and the Northern Expeditionary Army will have to retreat."
The man in black suddenly stood up, looked at the Queen Mother coldly and said solemnly: "Miner, you... you are crazy!"
"Crazy?" Han Min sneered: "Prince-in-law, I have been crazy for a long time. Ever since we went to bed, I have been crazy, and so have you... In this case, why can't we continue to be crazy?"
This man in black turned out to be the eldest princess’s husband, Prince Consort Yi Chenyuan!
Yi Chenyuan stared at Han Min blankly, finally sighed and sat down dejectedly.
Han Min said calmly: "Don't you think that woman knows about us having sex? You underestimate her. Maybe she even knows everything about the love words we said in bed... She has been unable to bear it.
, just waiting for the best opportunity. Once she seizes the opportunity, she will mercilessly send us... the adulterer and adulterer into a place of eternal destruction, hehe... That woman's methods are better than yours.
I also know that her heart is cold enough!"
Yi Chenyuan smiled bitterly: "She already knows? Why did you tell me now?"
"If I had told you earlier, what would you have done?" Han Min said calmly: "Leave me and return to her arms? Do you think she will still have feelings for you?"
Yi Chenyuan sat quietly on the chair and did not speak.
"Your marriage to him, just like my marriage to Deqing, is a tragedy." Han Min said calmly: "I am just a substitute for Ye Qingyao, and you... that old witch, you just think that her daughter
You should marry the best and most handsome man. She made the decision and made you a couple. But ask yourself, do you really like her in your heart? Has she ever liked you? You may only have a physical desire for her.
of love…!”
The "old witch" in Han Min's mouth naturally refers to the dead old queen.
"Stop talking." Yi Chenyuan roared: "She...she is a good woman!"
"Oh!" Han Min smiled contemptuously: "Then I am a bad woman? Prince Consort, why did you abandon a good woman and climbed into the bed of a bad woman..."
Yi Chenyuan rushed over like crazy, picked up Han Min, and threw her on the spring couch next to her, like a stimulated beast, ruthlessly tearing at Han Min's clothes.
Han Min looked at him coldly and allowed him to strip off her clothes crazily and then enter her plump and white body.
Yi Chenyuan's handsome face was now full of anger, which was terrifying. He sprinted crazily on Han Min's snow-white body, roaring lowly, until his essence was completely sprayed into Han Min's body.
, then he lay on Han Min's body and stopped moving.
The air seemed to be frozen, eerily still.
Suddenly, low sobs sounded, and Yi Chenyuan, who was lying on Han Min's plump and white body, actually cried.
Han Min sat up, naked, holding Yi Chenyuan's head, pressing his face against her plump chest, stroking his head, and said softly: "In this world, I am the only one who pities you, only I
I truly love you... We are truly a match made in heaven... We want to live a good life...!"
Yi Chenyuan was like a child, burying his face deeply between Han Min's big breasts.
After a long time, Yi Chenyuan raised his head, looked at Han Min, and said slowly: "I listen to you, I help you, I listen to you in everything, kill... Liu Zichan!" dd
