Chapter 1614 Xie Zaiyi: ...Gao Cheng has been executed, whoever surrenders will avoid death!
The next day, at dawn, the generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp were preparing for the next siege.
Shu Land, Jianmen Pass
In early autumn, the morning breeze with a bit of moisture blows against your face, which is extremely cool. The trees on both sides of the mountain road are swaying in the wind, and they are shadowy in the forest. Occasionally, one or two birds fly towards the mountain with a "quacking" sound.
Sky dome.
Tens of thousands of Han troops from the capital camp quickly approached the towering Guancheng. The sound of horses' hoofbeats and the roar of men and horses neighing could be heard.
"Dong dong..."
The sound of the drums suddenly became as dense as raindrops, like a sudden storm.
At this time, looking down from the misty sky, one could see groups of cavalry soldiers from the Beijing camp, carrying wooden ladders, rushing to the bottom of the city like a tidal wave.
"Rumble..."
The imperial court's red-coated cannons rumbled and fired at the towering Jianmen Pass. Smoke billowed, bricks, tiles and wooden beams could be seen vibrating, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
The soldiers of the Han army in the capital camp surrounded the city wall, holding bows and crossbows, and saw black arrows shooting towards Guancheng.
"Pfft..."
Accompanied by the sound of arrows piercing flesh, the Shu army generals and soldiers screamed incessantly, while the flags on the towering city wall were swaying in the wind.
The intensity of Beijing Camp's siege this time was obviously much more violent than before.
Just within Guancheng, after receiving Xie Zaiyi's promise, Sichuan's chieftain general seemed to have received a reassurance, and began to actively dispatch troops and secretly respond to external affairs.
Within Guancheng, the government office—
Gao Cheng was dressed in black iron armor and sat on a small lacquered wood table beside him. A blue and white porcelain tea cup was steaming. His resolute and calm face was full of solemnity.
Outside the city, Gao Cheng heard the sound of drums that sounded like thunder, and at this moment, he was hesitating about something.
That is, should we evacuate Guancheng immediately?
It is obvious that Jianmen Pass cannot be defended now, but if they withdraw their troops, where can they withdraw to? Chengdu Fucheng has fallen into the hands of the Han army, and they have no home.
"Brother, it's not good, the Han army is attacking the city in large numbers." Gao Bo looked extremely panicked, walked a few steps quickly, entered the Yamen Hall, and said.
Chen Yuan's face was a little more solemn, with inexplicable worry in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Gao, the imperial court's offensive is more fierce this time, can it still be defended?"
Chen Ran shook his head, but his heart couldn't help but be covered with a thick layer of gloom.
Gao Cheng raised his sword eyebrows, turned to look at Chen Yuan, his eyes were burning, and he said in a deep voice: "You have to defend if you can't hold it, you and I have no way out."
As he said that, he glanced at the generals sitting in the hall and said loudly: "Come, follow me to the top of the city to help defend!"
As soon as he finished speaking, in the huge official hall, the trusted military generals could be heard responding in unison. At this moment, they "hurrahed" and headed towards the city wall to help defend the city.
When Chen Yuan, King Chen Ran of Wei, and King Chen Wei of Liang saw this, they did not sit down and wait in the government hall, and then went up to the city gate tower to check the defense situation under Guancheng.
On the gate tower of Guancheng, the generals and soldiers of the Shu army who were guarding the city, holding Yanling knives with bright blades, were fighting with the generals of the Beijing camp who had climbed up the gate tower.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp, holding a wild goose feather sword, fought with the Shu army generals and soldiers on the city wall. With the sound of "clang clang", the Shu army generals and the imperial Han army started fighting fiercely.
The generals of the Shu army held bows and crossbows and fired continuously at the generals of the Beijing camp below.
Gao Bo's eyes were deep and his face was as solemn as iron. He stared at Gao Cheng aside, his eyes seemed to be filled with worry, and he said loudly: "Brother, Guancheng can't stop us."
Gao Cheng pondered for a moment, a gloomy look appeared on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic! The terrain of Jianmen Pass is steep, and our troops are well-prepared, so it is not easy to break through."
Thinking like this, the Han army in the Beijing camp below was attacking more and more urgently, using hooks, ropes and ladders to climb towards the city wall.
But at this moment, bursts of shouts of killing came from behind Gao Cheng, coming from within Guancheng.
"Everyone is handsome, something bad has happened. The chieftain general's people have rebelled!" A young general with a dark face, wearing a maroon mountain armor, ran all the way up to the second floor of the city gate building and reported to Gao Cheng.
road.
When Gao Cheng heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and his heart was extremely frightened.
Gao Cheng looked back and took a breath of cold air.
I saw only the Sichuan chieftain soldiers and horses whose armor and clothing were obviously different from those of the Shu army. They came from several streets in Guancheng to kill generals and stabbed the generals and soldiers of the Shu army in the back.
The soldiers of the Shu army were attacked from both sides and were in chaos.
The chieftain's betrayal was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. At this moment, it dealt a heavy blow to the Shu army.
But at this moment, the generals of the Shu army could no longer withstand the fighting of the chieftain generals. They all shouted in unison and immediately ran away.
Chen Yuan's appearance was also not very good-looking, and he felt a little anxious.
The generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp kept climbing up the wooden ladders towards the city wall. After a while, they gained a firm foothold on the city wall.
Gao Cheng was dressed in black and red iron armor, holding a sword tightly, and stood on the towering city wall. His resolute and calm face was extremely awe-inspiring.
With Gao Cheng's many years of experience in leading troops, he naturally felt the unpleasant aura of being defeated like a mountain.
When Chen Yuan saw this scene, he winked with Ruan Yongde, then came closer, looked at Gao Cheng, and said: "Brother Gao, I still have some troops under my command, so I'm going to suppress the chieftain general."
Chen Yuan clearly saw that the situation was not good and was preparing to run away.
Gao Cheng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao, there is nothing we can do now. If we withdraw our troops, we must withdraw them together. Otherwise, no one will be able to escape!"
In fact, even if you try to escape, it will be difficult to escape from Guancheng under such internal and external difficulties.
"Rumble..."
The artillery fire from the imperial camp became more and more fierce, raging on the Guancheng, but because the Guancheng at Jianmen Pass was steep and towering, it did not cause any major damage.
The sound penetrated the sky, echoing the shouts of killing in the mountains and forests, and the imperial court's generals and soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed to the top of the city in darkness and fought fiercely with the generals and generals of the Shu army who were guarding the city.
"Brothers, we can no longer work for the Gao family. Brothers, please open the city gate and welcome the imperial troops into the city!"
At this moment, along with the roars of the soldiers below, there was clearly an internal response within the Shu Army General School, and the closed city was suddenly opened.
Amidst the heavy "squeaking" sound, the generals of the Han army from the Beijing camp poured into Guancheng like a tide, fighting towards the resisting generals of the Shu army.
Gao Cheng was frightened, and knowing that the situation was over, he shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers and generals: "Everyone, let's fight out of Jianmen Pass together!"
When Chen Yuan saw this scene, his face was as solemn as iron, and he already had a bad feeling.
It’s over…
The king of Wei, Chen Ran, and the king of Liang, Chen Wei, looked at each other and saw on each other's faces the dangerous situation of defeat.
Chen Yuan, King Chen Ran of Wei, and King Chen Wei of Liang, accompanied by a group of personal guards, hurriedly descended from the city gate tower.
The situation is over and we can only escape for our lives.
Once Gao Cheng, Chen Yuan and others fled, the resistance on Guancheng became weaker.
Looking down from a high altitude, we can see that under the entire winding and undulating city wall, the generals and soldiers of the Shu army were retreating steadily under the fighting of the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp.
Not long after, it was seen that the generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp came from all over Guancheng and rushed into Guancheng in large numbers, driving away the generals and colonels of the Shu army.
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
At this time, a large number of soldiers and horses from the generals and schools of the Beijing camp shouted in unison. For a moment, the voice was loud and heart-shaking.
"Dang Cang..."
With the sound of weapons being thrown to the ground, some soldiers of the Shu army who were unwilling to fight abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Xie Zaiyi led a group of generals and soldiers into Guancheng, shouting loudly: "Don't call Gao Cheng and Chen Yuan away!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals and soldiers of the Beijing camp shouted in unison, with great momentum.
Suddenly, an echo seemed to resound in the gloomy mountain forest, causing birds to flutter in all directions and fly towards the mountains.
Gao Cheng fled in a panic at this moment, and with a group of personal guards and retinues, fled towards the Jinniu Road in the southwest of Guancheng. However, not far away, he saw a dark mass of soldiers and horses in front of him blocking his way.
The leader was none other than Sichuan Chieftain General.
Gao Cheng raised his eyes to look at the person who came, his blood-stained face was like frost, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Pu, are you really going to betray your trust and be willing to be a lackey for the imperial court!?"
Yang Pu said in a deep voice: "Brother Gao, please forgive me. The sons of our tribe have lived in western Sichuan for generations. The lives of tens of thousands of people must not be buried with the Gao family!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands violently, and a group of wolf-like Tusi soldiers behind him rushed towards the Shu army behind Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng clenched a steel knife with a blade as bright as water in his hand, and slashed at the Tusi soldiers who were approaching from all directions. They all slashed away with their practiced swords, and all the generals and soldiers of the Shu army became dead souls under the sword.
When Yang Pu saw this scene, his face felt cold and frosty, and he held a shining steel knife and strangled Gao Cheng all over.
Gao Cheng snorted coldly, drove his horse, and fought towards Yang Pu with a knife.
Yang Pu's rough face was filled with ferocious anger. He held two steel maces and stalked Gao Cheng.
The combat power of the two sides is almost the same, and it is difficult to distinguish them for a while.
Therefore, seeing that Yang Pu could not defeat Gao Cheng for a while, several generals and chieftains also came to help Yang Pu with their swords in hand.
At this moment, Gao Bo also led his soldiers to help, and they fought together with General Fan.
At this moment, the chieftain Fan general intercepted and killed Gao Bo and others, and the Fan soldiers also fought against the Gao family's personal guards. The weapons of both sides were "pinging, banging, banging," and occasionally accompanied by the screams of the soldiers.
…
…
On the other side, Chen Yuan's sinister face couldn't help but show worry. At this moment, under the protection of Ruan Yongde, he was fighting and retreating.
However, the generals and soldiers who surrounded him were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. They were impermeable to wind and rain, blocking Chen Yuan's escape path.
Just at this time, as the gates of Guancheng opened wide, Xie Zaiyi entered Guancheng under the retinue of a group of Beijing camp generals. Behind him, a large number of Beijing camp generals and soldiers surrounded and killed the Shu soldiers who were still fighting, hoping that
Try to make great achievements.
But in fact, there were not many generals and soldiers of the Shu army who held swords to resist along the way. Because the army was defeated like a mountain, the generals and soldiers of the Shu army scattered and fled.
"Liao Guogong, look over there." At this moment, a middle-aged general with an eager look on his face said beside Xie Zaiyi.
Xie Zaiyi followed what the middle-aged general was looking for, and saw Chen Yuan and Ruan Yongde holding reins on the slightly narrow mountain road, looking panic-stricken and planning to escape.
"It's Chen Yuan!"
Xie Zaiyi recognized the person, snorted coldly, and shouted: "I am going to capture this beast!"
As Xie Zaiyi spoke, he picked up a long iron sword at his waist, pulled a rein as thin as his finger, drove the horse, and killed Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan was escaping westward along the main road of Guancheng. When he was blocked by the soldiers of the generals on the way, he became agitated and killed one of the soldiers with his saber.
And at this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly felt an indescribable biting cold air coming from his back. When he raised his eyes, he was met with a pair of murderous eyes.
Like lightning, Xie Zaiyi's horse almost turned into a bolt of lightning at this moment, approaching Chen Yuan.
Then, he clenched a long knife in his hand and slashed it down in the air at Chen Yuan's head. The light of the knife was like a sudden appearance of a giant, with unparalleled magnificence.
These years of fighting in the army and fighting in the north and south have also allowed Xie Zaiyi to hone his martial arts to the pinnacle.
The direction of the blade was filled with murderous aura, and facing it directly, the awe-inspiring aura was almost suffocating.
When Ruan Yongde on the side saw this, he couldn't help being frightened, and hurriedly attacked from the side.
The long sword in his palm flashed brightly, and he immediately attacked him.
"clang……"
The long knives clashed, and in the harsh and sharp sound, sparks could be seen flying. Ruan Yongde's figure was inexplicably shaken, and there seemed to be a look of fear on his rough face.
How could this person be so brave?
Xie Zaiyi snorted coldly, and amidst bursts of hoarse roars, he swung the long knife in his palm and slashed towards Ruan Yongde in the air.
Ruan Yongde's expression paused slightly, and he struck out with the long knife in his palm, but he was unable to parry it.
Not long after, Ruan Yongde was exhausted from running for his life under Xie Zaiyi's endless sword blow.
Xie Zaiyi pointed his sword, and the blade was as sharp as clear water, heading towards Ruan Yongde to kill him.
Ruan Yongde was Xie Zaiyi's opponent. He was entangled by his blade. He suddenly didn't notice it, but when he saw the light of the blade flashing past like a startling giant, he was frightened and hurriedly dodged to the side.
The man's body stiffened on the horse, but he didn't move away. Then his neck hurt.
Immediately, his consciousness fell into endless darkness, he fell down from his horse with a "pop" sound, and died on the spot.
When Chen Yuan, who was slashing the soldiers with his sword, saw this scene, his vision turned black. He felt heartbroken and lost his voice: "Yongde."
Ruan Yongde has been fighting against Chen Yuan over the years, working hard for his great position. At this moment, Ruan Yongde was beheaded by Xie Zaiyi. You can imagine the sadness and anger in Chen Yuan's heart.
When Chen Yuan raised his eyes, he looked at Xie Zaiyi angrily. Murderous intent was already boiling in his heart. Anger was surging on his face. He slashed at Xie Zaiyi with the long knife in his palm and shouted angrily: "Take your life!"
"Dangdang..."
The two sides fought with swords, like a revolving lantern, and started a fierce fight.
Chen Yuan also had some skills on his hands, and after walking with Xie Zaiyi for about ten rounds, he realized that he was outmatched and turned his horse to leave.
Xie Zaiyi's tiger eyes were shining brightly, and he immediately clamped the horse's belly, and with a sound of "drive", the black-maned horse "Xilulu" snorted, and the long knife in his palm slashed a line in the air.
The fierce light slashed towards Chen Yuan's neck.
Chen Yuan's heart trembled inexplicably, but the sword in his hand showed no sign of weakness and he attacked him.
Chen Ran and Chen Wei were also among the rebels, charging back and forth. They had been skilled in bow and horse since childhood. Although they were not as good as the generals in the army, they were not much different in dealing with ordinary soldiers.
At this moment, the two of them were rushing back and forth on the narrow and chaotic mountain road.
At this moment, Chen Ran and Chen Wei were surrounded.
Suddenly, a general with sharp eyes and quick hands, holding a scimitar, slashed at the legs of Wei King Chen Ran's horse.
"Pfft..."
As the horses neighed violently, the front hooves of the war horse sitting under King Chen Ran of Wei were cut off, and it fell to the ground suddenly, causing smoke and dust to billow.
Chen Ran couldn't help but feel startled. He had already rolled off his horse, and the back of his head hit a sharp stone on the ground. His vision went dark, and waves of dizziness hit him from all directions.
At this moment, the maroon horse on the side suddenly raised its hoofs and stepped on Chen Ran's chest again.
When Liang Wang Chen Wei saw Chen Ran being trampled on his chest by a horse, his vision was almost split, and he shouted: "Brother Wei Wang!"
However, it was too late. King Chen Ran of Wei was trampled on his chest by a horse, but with a "click" sound, King Chen Ran's sternum was shattered.
King Wei Chen Ran opened his eyes and stared straight at the boundless blue sky. The revolving door of life was replayed scene by scene in front of his eyes.
There is the ignorance of being a vassal king when he was young, the joy of playing with his brothers and sisters as a teenager, and the joy of the bridal chamber with flowers and candles at the grand wedding. Finally, it was fixed in the Hanyuan Hall, with Chong Chong.
The scene of the confrontation between Emperor Ping and his son...
Father, I went to Jiuquan to apologize to you.
In the first year of Jianxing, on September 13th, King Chen Ran of Wei died in the rebellion at the age of twenty-five.
Liang Wang Chen Wei's personal guard said loudly from the side: "Your Highness, Liang Wang, you can't stay here for a long time, leave, leave quickly!"
At this moment, a group of generals gathered around him, full of evil spirits, and they clearly wanted to take down Liang Wang Chen Wei completely.
Chen Wei burst into tears, suppressing the grief in his heart, and fled towards the mountain road beside him under the desperate protection of his personal guards.
The fight between Xie Zaiyi and Chen Yuan was also decided in more than ten rounds. The long sword in his palm was so fierce that it was almost impervious to wind and rain.
Chen Yuan accidentally saw the big sword flashing in front of him, and the blade was extremely bright. Then, in a panic, he fell from his horse with a "pop" and fell to the ground.
"Here, kidnap him! Take him to the capital to be punished." Xie Zaiyi sat on the horse and said loudly.
At this moment, several generals from the Beijing camp swarmed forward and pinned the earth-colored Chen Yuan to the spot.
Chen Yuan was in a state of despair, struggling violently, his eyes almost filled with fear. After a while, he regained his composure.
In other words, Chen Yuan was disheartened after years of failed plans, and after the Jianmen Pass was breached, the last glimmer of hope was completely wiped out.
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi cast his sharp eyes towards the Gao brothers who were fighting against General Fan fifty steps away.
At this moment, the chieftains and soldiers were all over the Jinniu Road, blocking the two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Bo from escaping westward. Coupled with the generals of the Shu Army who had surrendered, there were not many die-hard cronies around the Gao brothers.
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi took off the crossbow from his back, set up the arrows, and aimed the bow like a full moon at Gao Cheng, who was being besieged by the generals.
"Whoosh..."
The arrows flew like meteors, and the sound of piercing the sky resounded throughout the world.
At this moment, Gao Cheng, who was holding a weapon and fighting with Yang Pu, suddenly felt a strong murderous intention locking on him, and a chill could not help but creep up his back, and he subconsciously hid aside.
"Pfft..."
The arrow shot through the air and hit the shoulder blade all at once. The huge kinetic energy of the arrow caused Gao Cheng to shake violently and almost fell off his horse.
When Yang Pu saw this scene at this moment, under his thick eyebrows, a look of cruelty appeared in his eyes, and he hit Gao Cheng hard on the head with both maces in his palms.
Gao Cheng was startled, and suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then his vision went black.
On the other side, Gao Bo, who was under siege by generals, was horrified when he saw Gao Cheng's death, and shouted loudly: "Brother!"
At this moment, three or four generals around him came towards Gao Bo with swords and spears.
But when Gao Bo's mind was shaken, how could he still care about it? Although he tried to block it, he felt pain in his ribs not long after, and it was clear that a gun was inserted.
"Pfft..."
The general with triangular eyes and rolled nostrils suddenly pulled out his spear, bringing out a fountain of blood, and his face was covered with a vicious aura.
The spear in Gao Bo's palm became increasingly uncontrollable, and the energy of the swords and weapons from all directions increased, and the strangulation force came from all directions.
"POP!!!"
Gao Bo fell from his horse to the ground and died an unexpected death.
At this point, the eldest son and the second son of the Gao family who were involved in the Rebellion in Central Shu were all killed in the rebellion!
Seeing this scene, Xie Zaiyi's voice was like thunder, almost deafening at this moment, and shouted: "Listen, Gao Cheng has been executed, whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
As Xie Zaiyi shouted, some Shu army generals also threw away their swords and guns and expressed their loyalty to the court.
Xie Zaiyi was resolute, and a hint of coldness could not help but appear on his calm face.
At this moment, looking down from a high altitude, we can see that the resistance of the Shu army generals is getting less and less, while a large number of Han troops from the Beijing camp are pouring into Guancheng.
In the evening, the killings in Guancheng stopped, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp completely took over Guancheng.
At this moment, a general from the primary school ran over and said to Xie Zaiyi: "Dong Guo of Liao, the remaining enemies in Guancheng have been eliminated."
Xie Zaiyi immediately put away the long sword in his palm and asked: "Where are the King of Wei and the King of Liang?"
A middle-aged general with an unshaven beard, with a stern face and aggressive eyes, said: "Duke of Liao, King Wei died in the rebellion. King Liang fled along the mountain road, and his generals are chasing him."
When Xie Zaiyi heard that King Wei had died in battle, he couldn't help but look stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Put up King Wei's body and head, deliver them to the capital, and send people to hunt down King Liang immediately!"
After the instructions were completed, Xie Zaiyi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Come, please enter the Guan Yamen quickly."
Then, a large number of generals and soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed into Guancheng and took over the defense of Guancheng.
