Five hundred and twentieth chapters God's will is so
With a "clang", the weapons fell to the ground. I don't know which soldier was unable to hold on first. He dropped the weapon in his hand and turned around and ran away. The last fighting spirit of many Northern Zhou soldiers and even generals also completely dissipated in front of these charging figures.
.
Chen Zhishen did not chase the scattered Northern Zhou soldiers, but rushed directly to the city gate and stretched out his hand to pull the door latch. Several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the heavy city gate slowly opened.
What came into view was the fiery red field and half of the sky illuminated by torches. Countless Nanchen soldiers had come quickly, with red flags fluttering in the wind.
"Seize the city gates everywhere, seal off the government offices and warehouses, hurry up!" Chen Zhishen waved his hand, and several generals agreed.
Seeing the tide of Nanchen soldiers rushing through the city gate, Chen Zhishen slowly leaned against the city wall behind him and breathed a long sigh of relief. In fact, he no longer needed to tell him what to do next. He rushed along the street.
Disarm, these generals under his command are already familiar with it.
This battle finally had such a result.
I won this Shu County by myself.
The life and death of Li Xingchen, Pei Zilie, nearly ten thousand soldiers, and the victory or defeat of the entire Bashu war all rested on his shoulders. Chen Zhishen didn't know how he could withstand it. He didn't even know how this sturdy Shu county city fell like this.
In his own hands.
After the charge, Chen Zhishen was even in a daze.
"Well done, you succeeded with one blow!" Wang Chang strode over, reached out and patted Chen Zhishen heavily on the shoulder.
He knew how important it was to capture Shu County, and he also knew how desperate Chen Zhishen was in his attack tonight.
Chen Zhishen looked at the city in flames and said nothing.
"General, Chang Li, the prefect of Shu County, is still defending the government office. The soldiers may not be able to attack for a while." A general walked over quickly and said with some worry, "Should we mobilize our bows?
crossbowman?"
Subconsciously looking at Wang Chang, Chen Zhishen said calmly: "Let's go and have a look."
Wang Chang nodded slightly: "I didn't expect that this battle has reached this point, and there are still people who want to keep the integrity."
————————————————————
"Brother Song, I didn't expect you to be the one accompanying me in the end," Chang Li, the prefect of Shu County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, picked up the glass of wine and held it in front of the person opposite.
The person sitting opposite him was dressed in commoner clothes. He was Song Ping, the former governor of Hezhou. However, after Li Xingchen conquered Hezhou, Song Ping naturally became a white man after he was released. If the war was not still burning, I am afraid that the imperial court would have
I have already charged him with the crime of losing a master and humiliating the country.
But at least in Chang Li's view, it was good that Song Ping could honestly return to Shu County instead of taking refuge with Li Xinchen like Dai Cai and others. Although it shows that this person still has some backbone in his heart.
Of course, the war was getting more and more intense, and Chang Li forgot about this defeated general. But who would have thought that today, the city of Shu County was destroyed, the staff were dispersed, and even the generals had disappeared, except Song Ping.
Wearing white clothes, he came to visit Chang Li.
The sound of fighting can already be heard in the streets outside. The Northern Zhou army obviously does not have much will to resist. Not all armies can fight a good street battle, especially in ancient times, the order of the military formation was far more important than the ability of individual soldiers.
era. Therefore, when the city wall is breached, it often means that the city is no longer defendable.
What's more, most of the Northern Zhou troops defending the city have never experienced the flames of war, and relying on them to continue the resistance is tantamount to wishful thinking.
"There are no elites inside and no reinforcements outside. The prefect knows that he has no chance of winning and fights. He should be the most courageous person in the city." Song Ping said solemnly. "Now that the city is broken and the prefect refuses to surrender, Song is a defeated general. I admire him."
There is nothing I can do to repay you. I can only offer this wine to the prefect."
After a pause, Song Ping said with a smile: "Song is willing to go with the prefect on the road to Huangquan. I wonder if the prefect would dislike it?"
Chang Li laughed and said: "Okay! We are all generals of the defeated army, and we feel sympathy for each other. How dare we dislike them!"
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and then the door was kicked open, and a burly figure came into view. Several guards anxiously tried to step forward to stop him, but they were all blocked by him with a wave of his hand.
Chang Li and Song Ping looked at the slightly strange-colored wine in their glasses, raised their glasses at the same time, and drank it all. After drinking, Chang Li looked at the Nanchen general who walked in and smiled slightly: "Shu County City
Broken, the battle situation in Bashu has been determined, God’s will is like this, I only hope that General Dang will treat the people well.”
"My general will definitely do a good job for you." Chen Zhishen saw that they were just two scholars. He had seen Chang Li's figure from a distance under the city, so he knew it in his heart and couldn't help but said coldly, "The war in Shu County is chaotic.
, the people are displaced, the governor often asks himself, do you feel guilty?"
Chang Li's hand trembled slightly, and the wine glass dropped from his hand and fell to the ground.
But he didn't care about this, he just stretched out his hand to strangle his own throat, with a painful look on his face, and murmured: "I feel guilty...so...I will be the sinner..."
····”
Before he finished speaking, Chang Li fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and he saw that he was no longer alive. And Song Ping opposite him was not much better, also lying on the table without making a sound.
Chen Zhishen did not step forward, but sighed softly.
"I didn't expect that the generals were scattered, and the last ones to die in the city were two scholars." Wang Chang also strode over at this time. Seeing what he saw in front of him, he understood something and couldn't help but shake his head.
"When Shu County started, only a few pedantic scholars died for the country. Everyone has already made a conclusion in their minds about how good they will be." Chen Zhi said in a deep voice, subconsciously looking back at the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty kneeling on the ground outside the door, "When the situation is changing,
There is no shortage of people seeking death, but there is no shortage of smart people."
Wang Chang couldn't help but shudder when he heard the word "Qi Shu". He knew what Chen Zhishen meant and what it meant when he said it, but at this moment he couldn't refute Chen Zhishen.
Everyone is already in the game, and there is no possibility of changing the path. Now that this path has been chosen, or is forced to be chosen, no matter whether they are bold or cautious, they can only go on this way.
After all, the world is so unpredictable. Where are there so many opportunities for hesitation and choice?
"Report, general, urgent report from Mianzhu!" A sentry rider came quickly.
Chen Zhishen was startled for a moment, and almost subconsciously reached out to take it. He just glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed. Wang Chang asked hurriedly: "Mianzhu Pass was lost?"
Chen Zhi took a deep breath and nodded: "Wei Shou attacked for a day and a night. The city was ruined and the troops were insufficient. In order to prevent the entire army from being annihilated, General Wu Yi retreated during the break in the attack. Now he has reorganized the defense line along Luoshui."
Wang Chang's hands trembled and he looked up at the vast night.
