After more than four months of fighting in the Battle of Jinsha City, both the Sichuan and Zhen armies had reached their limits, especially the Zhen army, which was on the verge of death. At this time, Yang Zhao saw the right opportunity, commanded the Sichuan army, and prepared to do something to the Zhen army.
Final blow.
Yang Zhao deliberately deployed the main force of the Sichuan Army outside the East City of Jinsha City in order to attract all the Zhen troops guarding the city to the East City. In secret, he quietly arranged an elite Sichuan Army of more than 10,000 people to ambush in Jinsha City.
outside the west city.
When the battle began, sure enough, all the Zhen troops in the city were attracted to the east city to resist the Sichuan troops attacking the city outside the city. Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely and the fight was inextricable, Yang Zhao ordered the ambushes outside the west city.
The Sichuan army launched a sneak attack.
The number of Sichuan troops ambushing outside the West City was not large, just over 10,000, but they were the most elite group of soldiers in the Sichuan army. After receiving Yang Zhao's order, more than 10,000 Sichuan troops rushed out of the Sichuan camp like tigers emerging from their cages.
Go straight to Jinsha City opposite.
Now there are only 30,000 Zhenjun left in the city. To resist the strong attack of more than 100,000 Sichuan troops outside the east city, they can only concentrate all their forces in the east city. Moreover, the Zhenjun did not expect that the Sichuan army would mainly attack from the east and attack from the west.
The tactic of sneak attack.
There were very few Zhen troops left on the west side of the city. When they saw the Sichuan army suddenly coming, it was already too late to ask for help from the east side.
More than 10,000 Sichuan army elites went into battle lightly, without armor and shirtless. In an instant, they rushed to the bottom of the city wall. Immediately afterwards, ladders were set up and people swarmed up.
How could the hundreds of Zhenjun guarding the west city withstand the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Sichuan troops? The battle between the two sides did not last long, and hundreds of Zhenjun were killed by the Sichuan army. Then, the Sichuan army took advantage of the situation and invaded the city.
News of the fall of the West City soon spread to the East City. When the soldiers of the Zhen Army, who were fighting bloody battles, heard the news, they all felt as if they had been struck by thunder. At the same time, there was no trace of the Zhen Army left.
His fighting spirit was completely shattered.
At this time, people had no intention of fighting and could no longer withstand the strong attack of the Sichuan army outside the city. The soldiers retreated steadily. In less than half an hour, the Zhen army was pushed off the city wall by the Sichuan army and routed into the city.
The morale of the Sichuan soldiers who had repelled the Zhen army was greatly boosted. People cheered and shouted, rushing down the city wall, opening the city gates, and letting the soldiers outside the city enter.
For a time, the Sichuan troops outside the city poured into the city like a tide. They could not stop it and could not push back. The battle situation at this time was in line with the saying that the army was defeated like a mountain. The Zhen army collapsed, and the Sichuan army went all out.
, drove straight into the city.
The generals of the Sichuan Army who were fighting outside the city all had tears in their eyes. This battle was too difficult. It lasted more than four months, and there were countless dead and wounded soldiers. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and finally our side
Won the final victory.
Seeing that the Sichuan flag was finally planted on the top of Jinsha City, Yang Zhao looked up to the sky with emotion and sighed, his lips trembled with excitement, and murmured: "Thanks to the spirit of the late king in heaven, our Sichuan army will finally annihilate the rebels and wipe out the rebellion.
!”
Generals Lu You, Chen Lihua, and Chai Song were also excited. People unanimously gave up their prejudices, stepped forward one after another, and hugged Yang Zhao tightly.
On the other hand, Li Shu in the city was standing in the attic of the city lord's palace, looking down at the smoke-filled Jinsha City. He couldn't help but sigh quietly: "Is it true that my great chastity has been exhausted..."
There were many Zhenjun generals in the attic. People came forward one after another and said in a hurry: "General, the city has been destroyed. Now we must escape from the city quickly!"
"Escape?" Li Shu smiled, but his smile was uglier than crying. He looked around and said, "Didn't you hear, what are the Sichuan troops shouting now?"
At this time, there were shouts of killing from all directions in the southeast, northwest, and faint slogans of 'Kill Li Shu, punish the traitors'. Li Shu shook his head and said: "The people of Sichuan hate me to the core, how can I do anything else?"
You can escape!"
"General, even if we fight to pieces with the Sichuan people, I will ensure that the general breaks through!" all the generals said in unison.
Li Shu is now discouraged, or in other words, he is desperate. What will happen even if he escapes from the city? Will he make a comeback? Zhendi has no place for him anymore, and the Sichuan people will never let him go. Sooner or later, it will be difficult.
Escape to death.
He looked around at the generals around him, waved his hands, and said softly: "Since I raised the army to fight against Sichuan, I have caused countless people with lofty ideals to shed their blood on the battlefield, and I have been unable to restore the country. This is because I, Li Shu, am incompetent. I will not regret my death, but generals
It’s different. You can take my head now and offer it to the Sichuan people. Maybe you can still save your life. In the future, you can try to restore our Zhen Kingdom..."
"General..." Before he could finish his words, the generals around him were already kneeling on their knees, crying loudly.
When Li Shu saw this, he also shed tears. As long as there was still a glimmer of life, how could he be willing to die? But now he really couldn't see a way to survive. Instead of letting the generals accompany him to death, he might as well just die.
Kill him alone to save the other brothers.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword. Without thinking, he flipped his wrist and put the sword's edge directly on his neck, saying loudly: "Li Shu is incompetent and can't lead all brothers to restore the country.
Li Shu can only wait until the next life to repay the kindness of brother following him..." As he spoke, he was about to wipe off the edge of his sword.
The generals saw this so clearly that they were all scared out of their wits. The generals who were close to him rushed forward and grabbed Li Shu's wrist tightly, while the generals who were far away from him crawled forward and held him tightly.
Holding Li Shu's legs tightly, people cried: "The general cannot commit suicide!"
Li Shu still wanted to get rid of the crowd, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't break away from the crowd's embrace. At this moment, suddenly, there was another loud horn sound outside the city, and at the same time, there were bursts of drums.
, like thunder.
Hearing the sound of horns and drums outside the city, Li Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Sichuan army had already broken through the city, but reinforcements were brought in. Just as he was sighing, a general suddenly shouted: "General, there are reinforcements! They are coming from outside the city.
Reinforcements, that is... our reinforcements!"
What? When they heard the general's shouts, people couldn't believe their ears, and they all looked for it.
Just outside the west city, another huge team arrived. Because the distance was too far, they could not see clearly what they were wearing. However, people could see the huge Zhen flags flying in the team.
The opponent was not flying the Sichuan flag, nor the flag of Chiyue, but the Zhen flag. This was so surprising.
Their armies are all in Jinsha City, and there is no army outside at all, but where did this Zhen army come from? And looking at the size of the army, the soldiers are all over the mountains and plains, boundless, and it is impossible to say less.
One hundred thousand people.
Li Shu was dumbfounded when he saw the army outside the west city under the banner of Zhen, and the Zhen generals were dumbfounded. Not to mention them, even the Sichuan army that had just invaded Jinsha City was dumbfounded at this time.
This sudden army broke through the Sichuan Army's West Camp, and poured in like an overwhelming force from outside the West City of Jinsha City. Looking around, it was dark, like a black carpet spreading rapidly on the ground. In just a blink of an eye, the front troops rushed over.
The west city gate is still wide open now. They rushed into the city almost without any obstruction. After entering the city, these soldiers cut down the Sichuan troops when they saw them and killed the Sichuan people when they saw them. They didn't even understand.
What's going on? The Sichuan troops were so slaughtered that they cried for their fathers and mothers and fled in all directions.
The army that suddenly appeared outside the West City was too numerous. There were hundreds of thousands of them. They chased and killed the Sichuan Army. Not only did they defeat the 10,000 elite Sichuan Army who attacked the West City, they also defeated the Sichuan Army that broke in from the East City.
They pushed him out.
This was not the end. After pushing the main force of the Sichuan Army out of the city, they followed the trend and chased them out. They pursued and killed the defeated Sichuan Army relentlessly. The Sichuan Army of more than 100,000 people was completely overwhelmed by this enemy force that fell from the sky.
Now, the front army is retreating, and the rear army is still following up, retreating forward and rushing back, the two collide, just trampling on each other, and the collision has caused countless casualties.
Seeing that our own soldiers who had just entered the city were pushed out of the city by the enemy troops, and even the enemy troops were still vigorously pursuing the victory and chasing them out of the city, Yang Zhao, Lu You and other Sichuan generals who thought that the overall situation was determined were all dumbfounded.
, stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Where did this enemy army come from? Not only were they numerous in number, but they were also well-equipped and well-trained. When they were chasing the Sichuan army, they were like a whirlwind, killing the Sichuan army until they were defeated one after another without any chance of fighting back.
force.
While Yang Zhao, Lu You and other generals were still stunned, the defeated troops in front had retreated to their side. One of the Sichuan generals, covered in blood, ran up to them and screamed: "Generals, I
The army fell into a trap. It turned out that the rebels had ambushed an ambush of more than 100,000 people outside the city. Now the rebels have fought back and fought out of the city. Our brothers are really unable to resist. Generals, please quickly order the withdrawal. If there is another attack,
If you wait even a moment, all our brothers in the army will be dead!"
Yang Zhao finally came to his senses, but his head also buzzed, and his body on the horse swayed from side to side, almost falling off the horse.
He now has no idea what happened, and why the originally guaranteed victory of the battle took a sudden turn for the worse, with such a change occurring.
"General, give the order to withdraw quickly, it will be too late!" The Sichuan general who returned from defeat was so anxious that his facial features were distorted and the corners of his eyes were about to burst.
Yang Zhao was completely confused now, and his mind could no longer function normally. He nodded blankly on his horse and said: "Withdraw... withdraw the troops..."
Before he finished speaking, the Sichuan general couldn't wait to turn around and shouted: "Withdraw the troops, the general has ordered the withdrawal, brothers, retreat quickly!"
The Sichuan Army could not withstand the new enemy force. Now that they heard that they could retreat, people no longer dared to fight, so they turned around and ran back. Suddenly, the Sichuan Army of more than 100,000 people began to be defeated across the board.
But how could the enemy let them escape so easily? The people made sharp whistles, carried the Sichuan army around and killed them. Even if the Sichuan army had fled back to the camp, the enemy troops behind them did not stop chasing them and followed them one by one.
