Chapter seven hundred and thirty-ninth the final word
Ma Wu stood up and muttered something in a low voice. The general didn't hear clearly, so he came closer to Ma Wu and shouted angrily: "Louder! Say your name and your subordinates!"
"I am..." As Ma Wu spoke, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his ribs. Before the general could react, Ma Wu thrust his sword forward and hit the general in the chest.
He raised his voice and shouted: "Listen clearly to me, I am the commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty's Prince Consort, Ma Wu Ma Zizhang!" As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked the opponent's stomach hard, and took advantage of the situation to draw his sword.
come out.
The general took a few steps back, unable to stand, and fell on his back. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but not a single word came out. Scarlet blood gurgled down the wound on his chest.
.
This sudden change made the defenders on the city wall stunned and frightened. Ma Wu looked around with a bloody sword in hand and shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will live; those who resist stubbornly will die!"
Several Liu Yongjun soldiers not far away were the first to react. They roared angrily, raised their spears, and charged towards Ma Wu.
Before they could reach Ma Wu, the soldiers around Ma Wu swarmed up and killed several Liu Yongjun who rushed up to the ground.
As soon as they took action, the city suddenly became chaotic.
Since Ma Wu and others were all wearing Liu Yongjun's military uniforms and armor, the two sides fought in a melee, and Liu Yongjun couldn't tell who was who. A considerable number of Liu Yongjun's casualties were caused by his own people.
When the city was in chaos, Gai Yan personally commanded the Han soldiers who were ready to attack, crossed the moat, and launched a fierce attack on the city.
In the past, the Han army's sieges would always be met with a head-on attack by the defenders at the top of the city. Let alone attacking the top of the city, even if they wanted to successfully charge to the bottom of the city wall, it would be very difficult.
This time, the 500 death squads headed by Ma Wu sneaked into Liu Yong's army first and climbed to the top of the city. They immediately caused chaos among the defenders on top of the city. The Han army that was attacking outside the city hardly suffered any decent achievements.
It's completely smooth and unhindered.
The Han soldiers who successfully crossed the moat and came to the underground of the city wall set up ladders one after another, and then people began to climb up the ladders to the top of the city.
It wasn't that the defenders on the city didn't want to stop the Han army from attacking the city, but that they had no chance to stop them.
The 500 death squads headed by Ma Wu were all like tigers descending from the mountain, slashing and killing the defenders on this section of the city wall. The defenders themselves were unable to protect themselves, and there was nowhere left to defend themselves against the enemy forces outside the city.
?
The Han army's attack was extremely fast and violent, and they rushed to the top of the city with lightning speed. As a large number of Han troops outside the city came to the top of the city, Liu Yongjun's military morale was in chaos, and the soldiers began to retreat steadily.
Once a gap in the city defense line is opened, it is not easy to block it! The Han soldiers followed this gap in the city defense and rushed to the top of the city to join the battle.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Gai Yan took the lead in attacking the city wall. As more and more Han troops poured into the city, Liu Yongjun who was defending the city could no longer hold on, and the soldiers began to attack the city in groups.
Defeat.
At this time, Liu Yong was still sleeping. A sudden knock on the door woke him up. He hurriedly turned over and sat up on the bed. The concubine next to him also opened his eyes in a daze and asked incomprehensively:
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
"I don't know, let me go out and take a look!" Liu Yong put on his shoes and a robe, walked to the door of the inner room, and opened the door.
Standing outside was one of Liu Yong's personal chamberlains. The chamberlain said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, things are going badly. The enemy army... the enemy army has broken through the North City and is about to enter the city!"
Liu Yong was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but grab the servant by the collar, and shouted loudly: "What did you say? Tell me again!"
"The enemy... the enemy has captured Beicheng..." the servant turned pale with fright and said in a trembling voice.
"This... how is this possible?!" Liu Yong pushed the waiter away and stood there, his face changing rapidly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
If the city defense is not broken, Suiyang's strong city defense can still resist the powerful enemies outside the city. But now that the city defense has been broken, what else can be used to defend against the enemies outside the city?
In just such a moment, Liu Yong was broken into a cold sweat. The chamberlain knelt down on the ground with a bang, kowtowed forward, and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, now... what should we do now?"
"Withdraw! Immediately pass on my imperial edict, all officers and men in the army, all ministers, follow me... follow me and evacuate Suiyang!"
Liu Yong still had some self-awareness, knowing that when the city defense was broken, his own soldiers would not be Liu Xiujun's opponent in any case.
He did not organize troops to fight the Han army in the city, but decisively issued an order to evacuate Suiyang.
After the imperial edict was promulgated, it didn't take long before the entire Suiyang city was in chaos. Panic-stricken people with their families in tow could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Liu Yong took the concubines and children from the harem, as well as the gold and silver jewelry he had collected over the years, and hurriedly rode a carriage out of the Suiyang Palace and headed straight for Nancheng.
The streets leading to Nancheng were already overcrowded, including a large number of soldiers, ministers from the court, and people in the city.
Liu Yong's order to retreat also caused the defenders to completely lose their will to resist. Under the leadership of Gai Yan, the Han army captured Beicheng in one fell swoop.
Later, Gai Yan personally commanded the Han army and marched from Beicheng into Suiyang City.
Liu Yong's order to retreat was issued too quickly, and he did not even arrange for anyone in the rear. After the Han army entered Suiyang City, they encountered almost no decent resistance. The army marched all the way from the north city to the imperial palace in the center of the city.
When the Han army arrived at the Suiyang Palace, there were many chamberlains carrying gold, silver and jewelry from the palace. Seeing the large group of Han soldiers approaching, people were so frightened that they screamed and fled in all directions. The boxes fell to the ground, and the contents inside were all gone.
Gold, silver and jewelry were scattered all over the floor.
Seeing the gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins all over the floor, the officers and soldiers of the Han army who came over all looked straight in their eyes.
Soon, Gai Yan also arrived. Seeing the situation in the palace, he immediately summoned Wang Ba, the general in charge, and asked Wang Ba to take control of the palace. All the property in the palace was sealed and no one was allowed to touch it.
Wang Ba didn't want to do this job, he wanted to kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service.
This time, Ma Wu led 500 death squads, infiltrated into the enemy army, and successfully tore open the city defense of Suiyang. He has already defeated him. If he still can't compare with Ma Wu in the next war, he doesn't know who he will be.
How long is the joke.
He stepped in and saluted and said: "General Gai, I think that General Liu has a stable temperament and can handle this important task!"
The person he was talking about was Liu Long. Gai Yan thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then, General Wang and General Liu will take care of the palace together!"
After saying this, Gai Yan said no more and led the rest of the soldiers straight to Nancheng to continue chasing Liu Yong.
Seeing Wang Ba's expression as if he was a mute and unable to explain the pain of eating coptis, Ma Wu felt quite happy. He walked up to Wang Ba, patted him on the shoulder specifically, and said with a smile: "Wang Ba, this is the guard of Suiyang Palace.
I'll leave the errands to you, and I'll do the decapitation of Liu Yong's son!"
After speaking, he sighed helplessly.
Wang Ba glared at Ma Wu, who had taken advantage of him and behaved well, and was so angry that his teeth itched. After Ma Wu left, Liu Long came over with an unhappy look on his face and said, "General Wang, why did you drag me into this?"
After finally breaking through Suiyang, everyone wanted to kill Liu Yong and chop off his head.
If he could carry Liu Yong's head back to Luoyang, it would be such a great sight and glory. It would be better now. Wang Ba could completely isolate him from this skill with just one word.
Wang Ba looked at Liu Long, who had a complaining look on his face, and forced a smile without smiling, and said awkwardly: "Uncle Yuan, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Liu Long rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.
Among the important generals under Liu Xiu's command, Liu Long is not bad in ability, but his qualifications are relatively low. Compared with Wang Ba, he is far inferior. Even if he feels unhappy, it is hard to blame Wang Ba again and again.
Let's talk about Gai Yan, Ma Wu and others, leading the Han army soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Nancheng.
Now Suiyang Nancheng is already overcrowded. There are not only Liu Yong, the Suiyang Emperor, but also ministers and family members of the court, as well as officers and soldiers in the army, as well as many people in the city.
With so many people crowded in Nancheng, one can imagine the situation in Nancheng, which has reached the point where it is almost impossible to move.
Before the Han army came, people wanted everything. Even if the carriage blocked the streets, they would not give up the carriage.
But as the Han army rushed towards them, people no longer cared about asking for anything. They picked up the soft packages, abandoned the carriages, and ran away.
But the previous congestion had already delayed too much time. Even if people now gave up their luggage, it was still impossible to run out of the city in a short time.
Seeing the Han army approaching, Liu Yong hurriedly issued an order and sent out his soldiers to resist the Han army.
But under such circumstances, how could people still have fighting spirit? Even though Liu Yongjun had a large number of troops, after encountering the Han army, he was completely defeated in one blow.
In this battle, Liu Yongjun was really confused. His command was chaotic, he was out of control, and his soldiers had no fighting spirit at all. When people faced the Han army, they had no idea whether they should fight or run. They were like a piece of loose sand.
.
Liu Yong didn't care about others, he himself escaped from Suiyang City first.
But in the end, only a small number of trusted ministers and thousands of remnants followed Liu Yong out of the city.
As for Liu Yong's army of more than 100,000, they have now been completely dispersed by the Han army in the city.
Liu Yong, who had escaped from the city, looked at the few people following him, and then raised his eyes to look at the completely occupied Suiyang City. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of old blood welling up.
Seeing Liu Yong vomiting blood, everyone around him hurriedly rushed forward and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty——"
Liu Yong waved his hands to everyone, his eyes became hot, and tears fell down. He had been guarding Suiyang for several months, but he didn't expect that in the end he still fell short!
The Battle of Suiyang, which lasted for several months, finally ended with the defeat of Liu Yongjun. In this battle, the Han army did not use any unpredictable tactics, but used the word "trap".
First, besiege Suiyang tightly and let Suiyang reveal his flaws first. Facts have proved that this "trapped" tactic is quite effective. A large number of defenders came out of the city to steal water, giving the Han army a chance to break the city.
The 500 death squads headed by Ma Wu disrupted the city defenses in one fell swoop. The Han army outside the city took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack and captured the North City in one fell swoop. The ensuing battle was completely one-sided, with more than 100,000 Liu Yong's troops collapsing across the board.
It may seem that Gai Yan's performance is mediocre, but in fact, Gai Yan's keenness in catching fighter planes, as well as his grasp and utilization of fighter planes, were fully demonstrated in this battle.
Who among the people who could be reused by Liu Xiu was an ordinary person?
