Two hundred and thirtieth IX broken city
The dawn appeared in the east slightly, and the shouts of killing in Liucheng that had fought all night were slightly calmed down.
After the entire Liucheng fell into a war, it was briefly calm. The siege and defenders squatted behind their respective covers, swallowing their saliva, and moistening their almost smoking throats. Ke Mulun's eyes were like fire at this moment. Under a wall in the city, there was a corpse desperately under his knife, gasping violently. He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to move a finger. All Ke Mulun could do was to try to open his eyes and not let himself sleep.
The soldiers of the two armies fought for a day and a night. Even the thousands of troops that Li Chongjiu attacked the city were already exhausted, not to mention the 700 soldiers in the city. After fighting for a day and a night, they were already exhausted. Ke Mulun fought bloody night last night, and finally firmly guarded the gap dug by Qia Shu from the defenders.
Now the gap has been increased to three, and two of them have been opened, and can accommodate three people to enter and exit. However, the defenders erected the women's wall here as the second city wall, and also ambushed the archer with several nearby houses as cover. They fought for a night last night and fell down dozens of brothers, but they still did not break through the women's wall of the enemy's army.
At this time, footsteps sounded around him. Because it was heard from the hole in the city wall, Ke Mulun didn't even have the strength to take a look. Then he turned black in front of him, a man wearing two gears of armor and holding a horizontal sword, stood in front of him. The general turned around and looked at him and said a few words. The other party was in Chinese, and Ke Mulun didn't hear it clearly, but there were more and more elite Han soldiers wearing iron armor and holding an iron shield and holding a horizontal sword.
These soldiers were energetic. Many people waved the knife in their hands and tidied up their armor, which was obviously a new force. Then these Han soldiers shouted and rushed towards the female wall. Ke Mulun looked at the soldiers who were constantly climbing up the female wall, and immediately put down his worries and closed his eyes.
It was already noon and the fierce battle continued. Although the advantages of the northeast corner of Liucheng expanded little by little, a fang had already been captured. However, the last reserve army of Li Chongjiu Company was blocked by the defenders in the fang. All the forces at hand were mobilized, which was all done.
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but shake his head, and indeed he was the leader of the city. He invested all his troops. Facing less than one-tenth of his defenders, he still fell into a hard battle. But Li Chongjiu secretly rejoiced that he was lucky to use the strategy of dividing troops to transfer more than half of the defenders in the city. Otherwise, with the 15,000 troops in his hand, there would be a big question mark whether he could capture Liucheng.
Just north of the city, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and hundreds of cavalrymen left the city gate in a hurry. Seeing them riding horses away from Liucheng and plunging into the woods north of the city without looking back, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile slightly. Then a ray of black smoke ignited from the direction of the prefect's mansion in the city.
"Issuing an order to Wang Mahan, and the city general has fled and ordered him to send troops to ambush immediately!" Li Chongjiu said, "If you send another order, the city has been broken, and you will immediately enter through the four gates! Any surrendered will not be killed. Those who harass the people will be killed if they enter the residences!"
In the evening, after fighting, the fire stopped. There were still remnants of enemy troops in the north, south, and south of the city, and south of the city.
Li Chongjiu entered the city from the east of the city. The soldiers on both sides guarded the streets with guns and cleared the enemy. After Li Chongjiu arrived at the granary, an enemy general and more than a dozen soldiers knelt outside the granary and were guarded by his own soldiers. The enemy general said to him when he saw Li Chongjiu, "Report to the Khan that when the prefect left, he ordered the general to burn the granary. He did not obey the order. Now the granary is completely handed over to the prefect."
"Very good, you made a contribution." Li Chongjiu nodded. With a granary, the problem of his own army's food was solved. Liucheng was the fulcrum for the one million Liao army to conquer Liao. Although the food and grass were not as good as Huaiyuan Town and Tongding Town, it was enough for a year of food to eat for 10,000 troops.
Li Chongjiu returned to the prefect's mansion. At this time, Wen Yanbo and a man in tattered clothes stepped forward and said to Li Chongjiu: "Empress, after capturing the city, I will enter the dungeon in the city and rescue Brother Lin Fu!"
When the other party saw Li Chongjiu, although his clothes were torn and his hands and feet were sore, he still had a whole body of hair and beard. He met Li Chongjiu with the courtesy of a scholar. Li Chongjiu also knew that Brother Lin Fu, who was named Yang Linfu, was originally the prefect of Liucheng. Later, Luo Yi rebelled and refused to surrender to Luo Yi, so he was detained in the county jail.
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "You are a loyal minister. I have worked hard for you. I wonder what you plan to do in the future?"
Yang Linfu raised his head slightly, looked at Li Chongjiu, and sighed: "The world is in chaos, and the heroes are rising together. It seems that the Sui Dynasty cannot defend the country. I am already over a hundred dead, and I am willing to serve the prefect and give my little power."
Li Chongjiu nodded happily and said, "If you are so laborious, then I will still be the prefect of Liucheng. How about guarding this city for me?"
Yang Linfu said immediately: "Thank you for your trust. I still have some hope in Liucheng. I will come forward to surrender the army for the prefect and calm the people's hearts."
With Yang Linfu coming forward, all the Sui army that were still resisting in the city surrendered. At the same time, when the households in the city saw Yang Linfu coming forward, they were worried about the bad luck of being washed away after the city was destroyed, but now they were relieved. The village chief and the security chief spontaneously went out to cooperate with the defenders to maintain order, arrested the hidden soldiers guarding the city, and helped to put out the fire to avoid the disaster caused by the chaos. By nightfall, the order of the entire Liucheng had been completely settled and was not greatly damaged.
In the middle of the night, King Ma Han led a thousand soldiers of the cavalry regiment to ambush Deng Xiao successfully. None of the hundred cavalry guards from Deng Xiao were arrested. Deng Xiao was tied up and held in front of Li Chongjiu by Wuhua. Li Chongjiu asked, "Does the prefect Deng surrender?"
Deng Xiao glared at Li Chongjiu and said, "If you don't surrender, how can a member of the market be the best? I was born in a general, how can you surrender to you?" After hearing Deng Xiao's words, all the generals were furious. The market be called a merchant. Li Hu was also considered a merchant, so it would not be an exaggeration to call Li Chongjiu like this.
All the generals persuaded him to kill him. Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "It's just a word that someone scolds you, killing you is useless."
However, Li Chongjiu was not ready to accept this person, and said immediately: "I have tied up the five flowers of the prefect Deng, and went to the fortress outside the city to persuade the defenders to surrender. By the way, when I persuaded surrender, I blocked this person's stinky mouth and put him in prison afterwards."
"promise."
Now he stepped forward, picked up the rag and blocked Deng Xiao's mouth. Seeing the other party struggling, the generals laughed. With Deng Xiao and Yang Linfu, they were suddenly caught and the Sui army besieged in the fort surrendered. Li Chongji decided to disperse all the thousands of people and incorporate them into the three thousand county soldiers. At the same time, there have always been news in the south that Luo Yi from Beiping County led 3,000 troops Lu Long to rescue Liu Cheng. Half of the trip, he had already returned to Lu Long after hearing the news of Liu Cheng's capture.
Li Chongjiu carried out post-war merit. The battle in Liucheng was quite fierce. Even under absolute advantage, more than 700 casualties were still injured and killed in the siege. Li Chongjiu decided that all the soldiers who fell into battle would be detained and transported back to the old place for burial. As for the wounded soldiers, they would be taken care of. Xujiu was promoted to a higher level without any disability.
The next day, Wen Yanbo and Yang Linfu came to meet Li Chongjiu. Wen Yanbo bowed and said, "The prefect, Liaoxi County has been obtained, and the connection between Liaodong County and Luoyi's Beiping County has been broken. Liaodong County must be in panic now. The prefect can turn its back."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said with a smile: "Attacking one city and seizing two counties, thanks to Sima Wen's plan, I will lead my army north."
Yang Linfu said, "The prefect does not need to use weapons. Tongding Town and Huaiyuan Town are all old friends with me. I am willing to write a letter to the prefect so that they can surrender with the city!"
Li Chongjiu said, "If the soldiers are not bloody, everything will be done with Taishou Yang."
Yang Linfu said, "If the people of Liaodong can no longer be affected by military disasters, what is my contribution?"
I smelled a mutton soup like Emu's boiled mutton at the tip of my nose. Ke Mulun slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was under a tent. A bowl of mutton soup was hanging beside him. Ke Mulun shook his head. Yesterday's bloody storm and fierce battle under the city wall seemed to be still in his eyes, but now there was extremely calm around him, and there was only a bowl of delicious mutton soup in front of him.
Ke Mulun was not a person who thought too much. When he got up, the wounds all over his body felt ache, and he immediately picked up the mutton soup in front of him. The soup was already cold, but the mutton was also fresh and fat. Ke Mulun put more than a dozen pieces of mutton in his mouth and chewed it all over, and his mouth was full of oil.
A corner of the tent was picked up and his good brother Qia Shu walked in. Seeing Qia Shu holding a bowl of wine in his hand, the greedy worm in Ke Mulun's belly was hooked up and snatched it straight into the other party's hand.
Qi A Shu closed his hand, laughed, and said, "The Shaman said that if he still wants to eat, it means that his injury has healed. However, this wine is not for drinking, but I beg you to wash your wounds."
Ke Mulun said, "Whether you wash your wounds, drink alcohol, I will heal all my injuries."
After saying that, Ke Mulun snatched the wine from Qia Shu and poured it down in big mouthfuls. Qia Shu had no choice but to use Ke Mulun and said, "This time after the war, you personally gave the Khan the third merit to break the city, so you were promoted to the team leader, and you also rewarded ten sheep, one cow, and five pieces of cloth."
Ke Mulun opened his eyes wide and looked in disbelief, saying, "Is this true? You swear by the Heaven of Eternity that you say that all this is true."
Qi A Shu said angrily: "Who is coming to lie to you, you will know then. By the way, your beloved girl is still preparing to propose to her. The dowry is enough, but I am afraid that you will be one step too late, and the girl will belong to someone else."
When Ke Mulun heard this, he felt like he was floating in the clouds and mist, unable to tell the difference between the east, west, south and north. The girl's figure became clearer and clearer in front of her.
