The fast horse galloped dangerously across the ditch, and people jumped down from it.
Zhou Xian saw the Chu-character flag carried by the visitor, stood up and said, "What are your orders, Madam? Are you going to attack the city with all your troops?"
Yangzhou City has been surrounded for these days, and the battle has been on Mrs. Chu's side. There has never been an order to attack the city in full force. With so many troops and horses, he can only sit around.
Madam's side is about to attack the city, the ordering soldier said.
Zhou Xian was overjoyed: I will definitely win the southeast direction.
The soldiers shook their heads: Instead of asking the generals to coordinate the attack on the city, they took the opportunity to send j people to sneak into Yangzhou City.
Sneaking in? Zhou Xian looked at the city ahead: j people? What can j people do if they go in? Open the city gate?
Assassinating the general, opening the city gate and then conquering the city is something that can only be told by storytellers in theaters, restaurants and teahouses.
Ling Bing said: There are some problems in the city. Madam wants you to go in and take a look.
What's the question? Zhou Xian continued to ask.
If he knew something was wrong, why would he go in to see something? Ling Bing was a little angry. Zhou Xian was a stranger to him, and they all called him Zhenwu Jun, but this person was his father's son, and he was far away in Yizhou.
comings and goings.s1;
Although he came here as ordered, he didn't seem to follow orders.
When the atmosphere between the two parties was a bit stagnant, someone floated over gently, leaning forward as if out of curiosity and saying: General, Yangzhou City has been besieged for so long, why don't you go in and take a look, so that you can know yourself and the enemy. After talking and laughing, they went to their baggage warehouse.
, lit a fire and burned it.
Zhou Xiandao: The city's baggage grain is different from that of the march outside. It is not easy to burn, and it will not be of much use if it is burned.
The man responded: I don't understand this.
This interruption allowed the stagnant atmosphere to dissipate. The soldier looked at this man. He was wearing a military robe. He was very thin and not too young. He had a fair face and no beard. He had long eyebrows and long eyes, and his face seemed to always have a smile on it.
He is neither a deputy general nor a soldier, and does not look like a soldier at all.
I am a small official under Mr. Wei, and I am responsible for transporting grain this time. The man took the initiative to introduce himself, smiled again, and kept talking about his profession.
The soldier nodded to him without saying a word.
Zhou Xian then turned to look at the lieutenant: "Ladder frame enters the city."
The deputy general responded, and the soldiers naturally stopped talking, and the grain officer also quietly retreated.
It's not that Zhou Xian didn't obey orders, but he was just worried in his heart. Will this woman fight? It seems that she is here to cause trouble.
Originally, everyone was so invincible that they could demolish the Yangzhou City wall even after ten days and a half of demolition work. But in the end, she never gave the order to attack the city.
Just because you see the people being used as shields, you can’t bear it? The mercy of gods cannot be used in fighting, otherwise why are there no gods and Buddhas in troubled times?
The ground shook, and soon there were sounds of fighting like thunder, mixed with cries.
Zhou Xian looked at the sky in the distance. He could imagine that the scene there was no different from before. Why was there a problem in the city?
Since it is not an siege, it is just for sneaking in, so there cannot be a large-scale battle, and the number of people cannot be too large. With the fighting there, three of Zhou Xian's troops successfully broke into the city after paying the price of ten people.
Inside.
The scene in the city shocked the three of them.
The streets were full of people. People who had been driven away were running, shouting and crying. Some rushed to their homes and closed their doors, and some died on the spot after hitting soldiers and horses with swords and guns.
The generals are killing people.
It is not surprising that the rebels in the city would kill people, but they would not massacre like this.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city who cannot be killed if they want to be killed, so they must be divided into groups like pigs and sheep, which saves effort and can intimidate them.
A group of people are pulled out, and the remaining people will be happy because it is someone else who died. Fortunately, they have extravagant hopes, and extravagant hopes and fear prevent them from resisting.
If the rebels kill indiscriminately, with only fear and no extravagant hope, the crowd will collapse. If tens of thousands of people collapse, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be difficult to control.
The rebels naturally knew this, so even though they were almost desperate when the city was besieged, they did not go crazy and kill people indiscriminately, just because there was still a glimmer of hope. If there was hope, they did not want the city to collapse.
So why now? The battle outside the city is obviously still going on, and they still have the advantage.
The Huainan Army is attacking the city!
Quickly pull the shields up!
How much? s1;
What to do? Where are the people?
The generals on the city wall were also in confusion, watching the fighting in the distance as more and more people fell, and the military formation moved towards the city.
There were still many people who were tied up and driven away under the city wall. They had already planned what to do next, but they were in a panic and no one gave any orders.
Master Ma ran away?
Master Ma ran away!
How could Master Ma abandon us!
Of course, there were generals who continued to wave their hands to fight, kill, and drive away the civilian soldiers, but they could not stop the spread of chaos.
Standing on the high city wall, you can see people everywhere in the city.
The people who were hiding in their homes with their doors locked and forced themselves to think they were safe were all killed by Ma Jiang. The rebels are about to be defeated. Run for your life. Such shouts will be elicited.
The running crowd was stopped by the rebels, but they did not squat down with their heads in their hands like before. Some screamed and wanted to rush over, and some simply wanted to seize the rebels' swords and guns. Most of them died under the swords and guns, but there were also some who relied on them.
Some killed the rebels because of the large number of people, and some rushed to catch the rebels and cried...
You are from Qili Township! I recognize your accent! Brother, I am also from Qili Township! We are fellow villagers!
Most of Ma Jiang's rebels were Huainan Dao guards, and most of them were Huainan Dao locals.
At this time, the soldier was hugged by the man in front of him. He was crying in the local dialect, and suddenly the hand holding the knife could no longer cut.
Mrs. Chu said that as long as they can fight for her, they are her soldiers and horses!
Mrs. Chu recaptured Yangzhou City and surrendered without killing anyone!
Shouts rang out on the street, and men in military uniforms could be faintly seen shouting among them.
Have the rebels themselves rebelled...
The man swept away the rebels around him, rushed forward like a tiger, raised his arms and shouted.
Everyone, go open the city gate!
...
...
The crowd surged toward the city gate like water.
The noise in the city also spread to the city wall. Ma Jiang is dead? Ma Jiang is dead! Open the city gate for Mrs. Chu?
The people who were being driven away as shields on the city wall immediately started shouting.
Mrs. Chu said that those who fight for her are all heroes of Huainan Road!
I saw it! Mrs. Chu’s troops even collected the corpses for them!
Fight for Mrs. Chu! Everyone, open the city gates!
The people who were about to be pushed off the city wall rushed to the rebels here first, fighting for their swords and guns, or simply jumped off the city wall with the rebels in their arms.
They cried out to the outside of the city, just like they were being beaten and forced to cry out for help again at night. This time the cry was louder and more powerful, and there was implicit joy in the cry.
Help! Madam Chu, please help! Ma Jiang is dead! Ma Jiang is dead!
.....
.....
Huainan Road soldiers and horses stepped on the ditch filled with rebel corpses, getting closer and closer to the city.
On the city wall, you can see people being pushed as before, and there are also bows and arrows coming, but it is different from before, this time the war drums behind you have not stopped yet. s1;
Is this a siege? Are you going to try to siege the city?
Their pace couldn't help but speed up. Although the high-car ladder frame was far from catching up, they were finally able to counterattack in terms of momentum.
Some people fell off the city wall, screaming and crying.
The drumming behind me seemed to slow down, but it still didn't stop...
The speed of the soldiers and horses became faster and faster. They held their crossbows and aimed them at the high city wall...
Ma Jiang is dead! Ma Jiang is dead!
Shouts poured out from the city walls, and the horses in front of them screamed and raised their hooves...
The shouts were rolling in, just like the previous shouts to Mrs. Chu, but this time they came from the front.
Ma Jiang is dead, Ma Jiang is dead.
The face of Zhongwu is shocked, is it true or not?
The people on the city wall are fighting with the rebels! There is also a huge noise in the city. The soldiers are urgently reporting.
Zhongwu Dao: Is there any fraud?
Before Xinbing could answer, Li Minglou shouted Baobao: Beat the drums and attack the city.
Baobao put down his black umbrella, took the drumstick from Li Minglou's hand, and waved it vigorously.
War drums, flags waving, horns blowing, and the static soldiers and horses between heaven and earth suddenly come alive.
The frame of the carriage is sparkling, the horses' hooves are rolling, and the footsteps are treading, forming squares and circles.
Li Minglou stood on the high car with his white gauze fluttering and watched the military formation rush towards Yangzhou City.
...
...
Zhou Xian jumped up and finally waited for the order to attack the city.
Let them know how powerful we are. He shouted, attack...
Before the word "city" was shouted out, the horn in the distance changed, and Zhou Xian held up his sword in disbelief.
Was it a mistake? He asked, why did he say that the city was destroyed?
The soldiers looked at the command flag in the distance: That's right, the city gate was opened from the inside.
Zhou Xian looked at the soldiers with a strange expression: Did he send someone to sneak in and really open the city gate?
If he had known it was so easy, he would have sent people to sneak in earlier!
