Eight hundred and sixtieth eight chapters capture Youzhou
Lu Jinsuo led his troops to the street, and military advisor Jia Shu also arrived, "General, what happened?"
Lu Jinsuo said angrily: "Damn it, Zhang Yong of the 17th Battalion rebelled, that gambler is crazy, I have to cut him to pieces with a thousand knives!"
Jia Shu was startled, and he quickly said: "That's not right! I just came back from an inspection tour of the military camp. All the brothers from the 17th Battalion are in the camp, but Zhang Yong is not here."
Lu Jinsuo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. What was going on? He immediately ordered a captain: "Go and investigate and find out who is pretending to be the 17th Battalion?"
Jia Shu hesitated and said: "General, could it be the Lu family? Zhang Yong also serves as the deputy general of the Lu family's militia."
Lu Jin frowned and said: "There is no evidence for such things as the military advisor. It is best not to doubt casually. Besides, the other party has military crossbows, and the militia does not have military crossbows, unless the military advisor issues them to them."
"Of course I won't, let's do this! The general goes to seize the city gate, and I will be responsible for investigating the matter."
Jia Shu turned the dock and ran towards the militia camp. He had always believed that the Lu family was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but he could not find any evidence. If the evidence was confirmed this time, he would definitely deal with the Lu family.
Many years ago when he was only sixteen years old, he was introduced to the Lu family to study. However, he only studied for three months before he was expelled from the Lu family and kicked out of the school for stealing two pieces of money from his classmates.
He has always kept this old debt in mind, and he believes that one day he will deal with the Lu family severely.
Now that the opportunity has come, how can he let it go?
The fighting at the North City Gate was extremely fierce at this time. Zhang Yun led 500 soldiers and 2,000 soldiers to fight inextricably. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but Zhang Yun's army never took a step back and defended the North City Gate.
On the top of the city, enemy reinforcements came from the west again. One hundred soldiers left behind to guard the city tower rushed forward to resist, determined not to let the enemy advance even one step further.
"The commander is here!"
Someone shouted, and in the light of the fire, Lu Jinsuo led five thousand soldiers to kill him. At the same time, Youzhou soldiers ran out of the alley and went up the corridor to the city. The situation became very critical. Zhang Yun turned around and shouted, "Destroy
Drop the winch!”
On the top of the city, several soldiers slashed with axes, smashing the capstans controlling the city gate and the capstan controlling the suspension bridge. Two soldiers struck more than a dozen axes and broke the two iron chains of the suspension bridge.
Dozens of enemy soldiers came up from the corridor and stabbed down the soldier who was destroying the winch. A soldier, with his last breath, picked up two iron chains and ran a few steps, jumped into the moat, and threw the two iron chains.
The chain was also brought down, and the suspension bridge was completely damaged, and there was no possibility of pulling it up manually.
The city gate could not be closed, and the lower gate had long been blocked by Jin soldiers with iron rods.
The Youzhou Army's offensive was overwhelming, and Zhang Yun's soldiers were retreating steadily, but the turning point came at the most dangerous time.
‘Woo’
A loud horn sounded suddenly at the city gate, and Pei Xin and Yang Xuanying led the cavalry to fight in. They were like sharp swords, heading straight towards the enemy.
Ten thousand cavalry rolled in from outside the city gate like a torrent. Zhang Yun had already led his troops to the side. More and more Jin cavalry came in, and the entire street became a battlefield.
Zhang Yun's soldiers also withdrew from the city. They could no longer control the suspension bridge and city gates, so there was no need for them to fight to the death with the enemy. The infantry also began to enter the city. Under the leadership of General Zhou Fengxiang, they attacked the city.
Kill the head.
But Zhang Yun's men still lost more than a hundred people in the battle. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
Zhang Yun led more than 600 of his men into an alley and rushed to Lu Mansion. He promised Lu Jingliang that he would come back in time to protect Lu Mansion.
Military counselor Jia Shu led more than a thousand soldiers to surround the Lu Mansion. He did not find the blue-coated soldiers of the Lu army in the militia camp. Although the blue-coated soldiers of the Lu family might still be on duty outside, Jia Shu believed that it was Lu.
The family's blue-coated troops attacked Beicheng.
He even suspected that the people in Lujiazhuang had been replaced, and those entering the city were probably Jin troops. Only they had the ability to attack Beicheng.
"I'll open the door!"
Dozens of soldiers were holding a big piece of wood and banging against the gate of Lu Mansion, while dozens of servants inside were desperately holding on to the gate.
"Dong" the wood hit the door hard, causing the door to shake violently several times.
Jia Shu said fiercely: "Come again!"
Dozens of soldiers backed away holding the bumper. Just as they were about to attack, more than a hundred crossbow arrows were fired in the darkness. The soldiers of the Youzhou Army at the gate were hit by arrows one after another. Even Jia Shu was hit twice in the back.
Arrow screamed and fell down.
Zhang Yun led his men and killed them. The remaining soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and fled. The soldiers outside the wall also fled one after another.
Zhang Yun stepped forward and put his foot on Jia Shu's back. Jia Shu was shot in the vital part and seriously injured. He slowly turned his head and saw Zhang Yun clearly. There was a flash of hatred in his eyes and he asked in a low voice:
"Who the hell are you?"
Zhang Yun said coldly: "Zhang Yun, the general of the Jin Army's chariots and cavalry, have you ever heard of him?"
"As expected, I really hate it!"
Jia Shu vomited several mouthfuls of blood, but failed to catch a breath and died.
The door slowly opened. Lu Chang, who was wearing armor and carrying a big gun, stood at the door. When he saw Zhang Yun, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He turned around and said loudly: "The master of the house is right, they have indeed come back."
Lu Jingliang hurriedly came out and asked, "General Zhang, where is His Royal Highness the King of Jin?"
"He has already entered the city. The situation outside is too chaotic. You all should go inside! I will lead the army to protect you."
In view of the strength of the Youzhou Army and the support of the Youzhou people for the Youzhou Army, in order to avoid falling into street fighting, Guo Song adopted a strategy of combining clearing and blocking. He blocked the north and west gates, but opened the east and south gates.
.
When Guo Song entered the North City Gate surrounded by three thousand cavalry, tens of thousands of troops shouted long live.
"Long live! Long live! Long live"
Lu Jinsuo was frightened. The opponent turned out to be Jin King Guo Song. Liu Changgan led hundreds of soldiers and rushed over, shouting: "General, the east city gate is safe, withdraw your troops quickly!"
Without Jia Shu to advise, Lu Jinsuo also lost the courage to continue fighting. He shouted: "Send the whole army to retreat from the east gate!"
He immediately led thousands of troops to withdraw towards the east gate.
This is also Lu Jinsuo's consistent style. The situation was unfavorable and he took the best policy. When he found that the enemy army still had 10,000 cavalry in Zhaozhou, he immediately withdrew westward and fled back to Youzhou.
The Youzhou army in the city quickly gathered and retreated towards the east gate. Guo Song did not order to stop them. After all the enemy troops had withdrawn from Youzhou city, he ordered Pei Xin: "Anyone who does not surrender will be killed!"
"Follow the order!"
Pei Xin and Yang Xuanying led 10,000 cavalry and rushed out of the east gate to pursue the enemy.
Guo Song immediately ordered the entire city to implement martial law. No one was allowed to leave home without authorization. Twenty thousand troops were patrolled in the city to eliminate potential dangers in the city.
The army immediately took over the military camps, warehouses, government offices and palaces.
The sky is getting brighter, and there is silence in Youzhou City. In the warehouse area to the north, the soldiers are extremely busy, counting supplies and moving goods.
Accompanied by Han Zongyu, Sima of Prince Yan's Palace, Guo Song came to the famous Youzhou Cang.
Youzhou is the place with the largest gold and silver inventory in the Tang Dynasty. After An Lushan and Shi Siming captured Luoyang and Chang'an, they completely looted the imperial Zuozangtreas, the inner treasury and the private treasury of countless wealthy and powerful families, and transferred countless
The wealth was transported back to Youzhou.
In order to support the army, most of the copper coins have been consumed, and a lot of gold and silver have also been consumed, but the gold and silver in stock are still considerable, so that later Li Huaixian built a warehouse to store them, and this warehouse was called
It is the Youzhou Cang, which contains the largest silver and gold reserves in the Tang Dynasty.
Three huge warehouse doors creaked open, and countless large wooden boxes appeared in front of Guo Song. They were arranged one on top of another like a hill. There were thousands of them. The length, width and height of these large wooden boxes were four feet.
The left and right sides are nailed very tightly with numbers on them.
"What does this number mean?" Guo Song kicked a big box against the wall.
An old warehouse steward said respectfully: "Your Highness, the number A represents gold, the second represents silver, the third represents brass or white copper, if it is treasure A, it represents gems, treasure B represents jade, and treasure B represents
Other treasures, such as pearls, tortoise shells, corals, etc."
"Are all six major categories concentrated here?" Guo Song asked with a frown.
The old steward shook his head quickly, "There is only gold and silver here, copper is in the warehouse next door, and gems and jade are in the small warehouse. King Yan comes to inspect every month, and sometimes he takes some parts for inventory. He values these three warehouses very much. He
He said that when his son ascends the throne, all the wealth in the three major warehouses will be shipped to Luoyang."
"His wealth does not go to outsiders!"
Guo Song smiled and saw that the box next to him said 'Cai Yi No. 125', which was probably silver, so he said to the soldiers beside him: "Pry this box open!"
