On the city wall, a Tang army captain ran towards Liu Fangzhi again and reported urgently: "General, the brigade of Sui army appeared at the Water Gate, and people defended the Water Gate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fangzhi's spear stabbed into his chest. The captain screamed and looked at Liu Fangzhi in disbelief. He fell to the ground and died. Liu Fangzhi pulled out his spear and attacked the defenders on the city and some
The civilian shouted, "Escape quickly! The Sui army has entered the city."
Thousands of defenders on the city looked at him in horror, and were at a loss. Liu Fangzhi shouted again: "I can't bear to die, so run away!"
At this moment, a cry of killing suddenly broke out from the water city gate formation. The defenders at the south city gate woke up like a dream. Suddenly, they were in chaos, and they all threw away their armor and ran to the city without any life.
....[
Liu Fangzhitu Chapter 55: Jiangling changed the sky and turned the horse's head, and led more than a hundred people to the horse's head to run eastward. Everyone ran and shouted: "The Sui army has entered the city, run away quickly!"
"General Ya has an order! Stop resisting."
Under Liu Fangzhi's agitation, the defenders in the east of the city also began to become in chaos. Especially in his identity, shouting "The general has an order, stop resisting" suspected that many people believed it. Morale was already depressed, and Liu Fangzhi's turnaround was suspected.
It was the heaviest blow, and the defense guards in Dongcheng also began to collapse.
Liu Fangzhi was very proud. He rode his horse along the corridor and rushed down the city gate, preparing to grab the city gate. At this moment, a low voice came from the darkness, "The traitor was given the head!"
Liu Fangzhi was shocked and saw a cavalry rushing towards him, holding a Fangtian painting halberd in his hand. The fire suddenly lit up. It was Lu Zushang who was defeated by him. Liu Fangzhi knew that Lu Zushang was very skilled in martial arts. He was immediately scared and swung his spear instinctively.
Xiang Ying was injured in his left hand and could only hold a spear with one arm.
"Crack" Lu Zushang's iron halberd was heavy, and he folded his spear into two sections. Fang Tian's painting halberd pierced into Liu Fangzhi's chest like lightning. Liu Fangzhi shouted and killed him on the spot. The personal soldiers behind him were one step slower. They saw that
The general died, and his eyes were red in anger and surrounded Lu Zushang.
At this time, the confidant Zhao Lan of Jiangling's change of heaven next to him swung his sword and slashed. The two rushed in a row. More than half of the more than a hundred personal soldiers were killed and injured in a moment. The remaining people shouted and fled in scattered. Lu Zushang jumped off his horse.
He cut off Liu Fangzhi's head with one knife and sneered: "Liu Fangzhi, do you have today too?"
"General, what should we do?" Zhao Lan asked anxiously.
Lu Zushang turned his horse and looked around. He saw a blazing fire at the south gate, shouting to kill him, and the city gate was probably no longer safe. "Go to the north of the city!" He turned his horse's head, and the two rushed towards the north city one by one.
...
....
The last fierce battle between the South City Gate, Xie Yingdeng led thousands of Sui troops who entered the Shuicheng Gate to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the South City Gate were the two thousand troops brought by Chai Shao from Guanzhong, and they were from the side generals.
Although the defenders on the city were in chaos, Hebain still led his army to defend the city gate. As Xie Yingdeng led his army to fight, two armies broke out in fierce battle at the south gate.
In the dark night, the two sides fought together, spears fighting each other, swords slashing, and even hand-to-hand combat, the two sides twisted into a ball...
Xie Yingdeng held a bow and arrow in the outside world and looked like a falcon, looking for the enemy's chief general. He was called the second arrow of the Sui army, and the enemy was attacked by the magic arrow. At this time, he suddenly saw a general riding a horse, like a black bear.
He was strong, holding a sledgehammer and dozens of Sui soldiers, Liao Zhan, shouting like thunder. He had killed more than twenty people at his feet.
Xie Yingdeng was furious and pulled the bow and arrow suddenly. When the string was loose, a sharp wolf teeth shot at the Tang army general like lightning. The Tang army general was Hebanning, the side general guarding the southern gate. He was a descendant of the Xianbei people.
, the force is strong and the hammer is strong, Lou Yi is very powerful.
He was raising his hammer to smash the sky spirit cover of a Sui soldier. Suddenly, a cold arrow shot. He was caught off guard and a sharp arrow shot through his throat. Heba Ning screamed with a smack hammer in his hand.
After landing, dozens of Sui soldiers surrounded him and grabbed the gap, and more than a dozen spears pierced into his body...
The Sui army soldiers were increasing, and the Tang army guarding the city gate finally couldn't resist it. They knelt on the ground and surrendered, begging for mercy. Hundreds of Sui soldiers rushed into the city cave, opened the city gate, and put down the suspension bridge on the top of the city.
The city tower was filled with flames.
The commander Yang Yuanqing, who had been waiting a mile away for a long time, issued an order to enter the city. Five thousand cavalry and horses galloped like a craziest tide, and rushed into Jiangling City like a surging flood.
.....[
At this time, Chai Shao was on his way to Nancheng. He was deceived by Liu Fangzhi to Beicheng, but there was nothing abnormal in Beicheng. Just when he was secretly surprised, a shout of killing suddenly broke out in Nancheng, followed by a fire.
Chai Shao was shocked by soaring into the sky.
He suddenly realized that he was deceived by Liu Fangzhi. In shock and anger, Chai Shao led thousands of elite troops to rush towards the south city. Halfway through, Lu Zushang led hundreds of people to face the original "General!"
Chai Shao grabbed the war horse. At this time, he already understood that he had been deceived by Liu Fangzhi. It was also his bitter trick to cheat him of his trust. If he had known that a local big player like Liu Fangzhi would have surrendered to him.
Lili, who was blinded, believed in his loyalty.
Lu Zushang's sudden appearance made Chai Shao feel a little guilty. He sighed and asked, "What's the situation in Nancheng?"
Lu Zushang clasped his fists and said, "Report to the General, Liu Fangzhi has offered the southern city. The Sui cavalry has entered the city gate. Please ask the General to retreat from the north gate quickly."
Chai Shao was as if he was hit hard. His body shook and almost fell from the carriage. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I must kill this guy!"
Lu Zushang took off Liu Fangzhi's head from the horse's neck and presented his hands with him, "Report to the General, Liu Fangzhi has been killed by a humble official position."
Bi Shao was overjoyed, "Well, he took the head, it was Liu Fangzhi, and he felt extremely relieved. At this time, even the destruction of Jiangling City was not as important as killing the traitor Liu Fangzhi. Chai Shao nodded,
He said in a deep voice: "From now on, you will be restored to your post, and I will appoint you as your deputy general."
Lu Zushang has been determined to use his loyalty to bury Li Xiaogong for his death. He bows with his fists, "Thank you for your trust, but the Sui cavalry has entered the city, the morale of the Tang army has collapsed, and the law fights again. Please ask the general to go out of the north gate immediately and leave Jiangling City. I am humble.
The General guards head north.”
The sound of killing in the city was shocking. Chai Shao had already heard the roar of horse hooves rushing into the city by the Sui cavalry. He couldn't help but sighed, turned his horse's head and ordered, "Get out of the north!"
The north city gate opened, Chai Shao and Lu Zushang led the three thousand Tang cavalry stationed near the north city gate to escape from Jiangling City and fled northwest. The Sui army had only 50,000 troops in Jiangling, and intercepted them from all sides.
The army mainly attacked the south city and stationed troops outside the north city, allowing Chai Shao to escape by chance.
At this time, the main force of the Sui army had entered the city and gradually controlled Jiangling City. In Jiangling City, every household closed the door and hid at home and dared not leave.
Teams of Sui cavalry were running in the streets and alleys of Jiangling City, driving out the deserters hidden in the dark. Some stubborn protesters were killed on the spot. Many deserters who took the opportunity to rob the store were also arrested, beheaded in the street, and grouped
The deserters were dismissed by the Sui cavalry and drove them to the main street to concentrate.
At the south city gate, thousands of soldiers held torches in their hands and shone the south city gate as daylight. Yu Shouren cried and knelt down in front of Yang Yuanqing's war horse. "Report to Your Highness, I found General Liu's body, but I pity him by Lu Zushang
The one whom you killed can no longer be loyal to Your Highness.”
Yang Yuanqing was kind to appease Yu Shouren, and appointed him as the Marquis of Dangyang County, assisted the general Liu Tao in garrison in Jiangling. At the same time, he appointed Liu Fangzhi as the Duke of Jiangling County, allowing his son to inherit the title and rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold to show his comfort.
Yang Yuanqing frowned and asked again: "Is there any news about Lu Zushang?"
Xie Yingdeng bowed and said, "Report to your highness, there are captured soldiers who confessed. When he saw Lu Zushang following Chai Shao out of the northern city and fled north." At this time, Wang Junguo next to him stepped forward and asked for an order, "I am willing to lead 5,000 cavalry to chase him."
Chai Shao, come and see him with someone else’s head.”
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Chai Shao is not worth worrying, let him go, I have more important tasks for you." Wang Junguo vaguely guessed what it was, and he felt a sense of e-ecstasy in his heart. Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered someone to call Wei Yunqi,
On the top of the city, Yang Yuanqing stared at the west and slowly said to the two: "We still have five large ships and more than a hundred whistle ships. Before tomorrow morning, we can transport 18,000 cavalry across the Yangtze River. This 18,000 cavalry will be transported across the Yangtze River.
I will give you the Thousand Cavalry and the Nine Thousand Army of Yiling County. You will advance westward at the fastest speed, enter Bashu, and annihilate the Bashu army in one fell swoop. They are all new recruits, with only more than 30,000 people, enough to fight.
Hitting your nose can't stop your iron hooves."
Yang Yuanqing looked at Wei Yunqi, "I officially appointed you as the general manager of Bashu. The people of Shu mainly focus on appeasement and accept the surrender of county officials. If you have no choice, don't kill you. What I did in the south, I want to
You should have seen it all." Wei Yunqi nodded silently, "I understand, please rest assured."
Yang Yuanqing's eyes turned to Wang Junkuo again, "You are the deputy general, assist General Wei in his actions. He obeys orders and obeys General Wei. He is not allowed to make decisions without authorization. He will take down the peace of Bashu. I will officially grant you the Duke of Shu."
Wang Junkuo was overjoyed and gave a deep bow, "Abide by the orders!"
Ten thousand cavalry left Jiangling City overnight and gathered on the riverside. Five 10,000 stone ships and more than 100-square-square ships passed back and forth on the river to transport cavalry across the river. Yang Yuanqing stood at the top of the city and looked silently in the distance, rain and fog
The rain was flying, and the deep night obscured his vision, but his heart was unprecedentedly bright. As long as he took Bashu, the final decisive moment with the Tang Dynasty would come.[
......
Five days later, the Sui army rectified the surrendered army, and Yang Yuanqing led 60,000 troops northward. At this time, only one lonely city in Xiangyang was left in Jingxiang. Yang Gongren led 30,000 troops to defend this lonely city. Yang Yuanqing did not launch an attack. He ordered Xu Shijihe
Du Fuwei led 90,000 Jingxiang and Jianghuai troops to continue to besiege Xiangyang, while he personally led 40,000 Sui troops to Luoyang.
