Chapter 302 Jiyang Ping (1)
Jiyang County
After noon, the sun gradually moved, and the flag was densely filled with army.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The huge rocks were thrown into the city. As the rocks collided, sparks were everywhere, and thick smoke rose from the city, and there were faint sounds of shouting and killing.[bsp; The defenders on the city, seeing this scene, several people could not accept it and were on the verge of collapse.
"Drag them down!" Looking coldly at the soldiers who were trembling with their hands behind their bows and arrows, the guards on the city had a tense face and immediately ordered them to be dragged down and changed to the other people to replace them.
At this time, the war drums were beating under the city, and the army slowly moved forward, and Lu Gao watched on a high platform.
"Boom!" Finally, there was a loud noise that shook the sky, and a city wall finally couldn't stand it and fell down violently.
In an instant, Lu Gao brought joy out of his face, stood up, and ordered: "Go in the drum!"
With a command, the soldiers immediately responded, and the soldiers beat the war drums, one after another, and suddenly, the front row of the army moved like a tide, advancing towards the gap.
Seeing this, Lu Gao showed joy and took down the county in front of him as soon as possible and quickly pacified it, which would bring a good situation to His Majesty personally leading the army.
Thinking of this, the shouts of killing kept coming. After listening for a moment, Lu Gao sighed: "The city guard Cheng Yu, I heard that he was always longing, but unfortunately this person is assisting Liu Man, so I am afraid he will not be able to meet again."
Knowing that once the city wall is broken, the county city will be flattened by the army. Lu Gao feels a little regretful to Cheng Yu and Lu Gao.
This person has a good reputation, is sympathetic to his subordinates, is loyal to his lord, and is also very kind of governing the military and the people. Unfortunately, they are all for their own masters.
"Military Gate, as long as this person is not killed in battle, he will be taken to the general, and the general will be able to see him at that time." A general said.
Lu Gao shook his head: "Liu Man is not very capable, but he really has a few capable ministers... It's a pity that Cheng Yu is so kind that he can surrender."
After hearing this, I was half-believing and half-doubting.
At this moment, the county soldiers inside were still fighting to the death, blocking the enemy that was pouring in like a tide from the gap, and suddenly shouted and killed the sky, and the battle was fierce.
Time passed by minute by minute, as if it was endless to kill, fighting against each other one after another.
"Don't retreat! rush up and stop them!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing caused the entire city to panic.
Although the defending army resisted fiercely, the Dacheng army was also good at fighting and had the advantage of a large army. Gradually, they continued to win and erode step by step.
Wu Xingzong immediately glanced at the surrounding situation and sneered a few times.
"How is the situation?" he asked the personal soldiers who had just returned and were circulating the news.
"Sir, all the enemy troops at the city gate have been killed, and the defenders retreated three streets to defend and resist. There are currently two thousand people who have surrendered to our army."
"Haha, another victory. This is the emperor's fortune... As for the surrendered troops, they will drive them to the back guards, and all those who resist and do not surrender will be wiped out!" Wu Xingzong said, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.
The pleasure brought by victory made the mood very good. This time he went to the battle, he made many military achievements, and he must have been rewarded again. Thinking of this, he raised his long sword: "See me to kill them all!"
"Kill them all! Kill them all!" The cavalry behind raised his sabers in his hands and moved forward.
But at this moment, at the fortress in front, suddenly, there were a large number of archers, and an officer called out: "Let it go!"
"Puff!" sounds continued, and the first group of cavalry fell one after another, but in a blink of an eye, the cavalry continued to rush forward, and these archers did not have time to shoot arrows anymore.
The power of the cavalry was reflected at this time, fast, they were extremely fast, and they held up a long sword in their hands. Every time they fell, they would bring a bright red, and the air began to fill with bloody smell.
"Run! Fight with them!" Seeing this, the officer raised his arms and shouted.
At this moment, Wu Xingzong left the horse, and a long sword flashed, and a head flew out, blood splattered.
The battle was very tragic, which made Wu Xingzong very angry.
"Mr. Wu, the military gate prevents you from acting without permission!" At this moment, the visitor said.
Since the commander sent an order, Wu Xingzong did not dare to disobey and had to give orders that the cavalry would wait here.
The army arrived soon.
On the slightly narrow road, obstacles have been flattened and can be passed by the army.
Lu Gao glanced at Wu Xingzong, who had a look of ugly face, looked forward, and asked with a sigh: "Is the county magistrate's mansion ahead?"
"Yes, the military gate, and there are still hundreds of people guarding the mansion to resist..." Wu Xingzong hurriedly said: "Please let me go out to fight and purge him."
"If you want to make meritorious service, you will have opportunities in the future, so don't be so anxious." Lu Gao said with a smile, then looked at his left and right: "Do you think this is the reason?"
"What the military gate said is that Brother Wu, you have made a lot of military achievements, so let us give it to you!" Generals such as Zheng Yu family, Mu Rong, Gao Xun, Huang Jie, and Shi Jiaqian all asked for their orders.
Lu Gao was very satisfied, glanced at him and said, "General Zheng, it depends on you this time."
"Yes, this gate will be taken down." Zheng Yu's family was overjoyed, stepped out and led the team to attack.
This time, everyone made a lot of contributions, and this time they were attracted by the handsome man's eyes. Whether it was capturing or killing Cheng Yu, it was a great contribution. These people all yearned for the arrival of the day of winning a wife and a son.
The mansion had walls and was confined. There were many soldiers who retreated to this place. They had no way out and had to fight to the death.
For a moment, the sound of killing shook the sky, and there was no chance of winning or losing.
County magistrate's office. Inner court
In the blue sky, a red sun was hanging high, and the sun shone everywhere. Although the sound of killing sounds shook the sky, a yard was still quiet.
Cheng Yu was the former county magistrate and could enjoy it. The entire mansion was centered on Qingyunxuan, and there were more than a dozen courtyards arranged symmetrically on the left and right. Each courtyard was filled with pavilions, terraces, corridors, and pavilions.
Cheng Yu demolished these buildings, including Qingyunxuan, and only Qingyunxuan is still intact.
Since he arrived, most of the servants in the mansion have been cleared out. At this time, although more than a dozen personal soldiers outside Qingyunxuan were all serious, they were still guarding them.
"Sir, you have surrendered!" The dear director Cheng Biao hesitated for a while, and finally spoke.
After more than ten years of friendship, Cheng Yu was angry at first and sighed: "I know your thoughts and want me to survive, but I am the lord's minister. How can I do this? Now that the city is broken, you can only die, but you can surrender."
Their dear kneeled down and said, "Since lord has the intention to die, how can we retreat?"
Cheng Yu nodded and sighed, with a complicated expression.
The entire Jiyang County has fallen into the hands of a great army.
If Duke Zheng had not been kind to him, he would have been afraid that he would have thought of surrendering.
Emperor Dacheng was young and promising, but he was actually a wise ruler of his generation. If he was a vain Bai Ding at this time and had not assisted the Duke, he would be his first choice for assisting.
It’s a pity that fate misleads people. He has been greatly favored by Duke Zheng. Even though he knows that he is unable to compete with the Duke of China, he will eventually lose, but he can only be loyal to Duke of China and not serve the second master.
Stand up and walk out.
"Sir!" Seeing him coming out of the hall, the personal guards still saluted.
"Get up, you guys, go to the study with me."
"promise!"
Walking through the long corridor and entering the study room, only Cheng Yu often enters and exits the study room on weekdays, which is where he often comes. It is cleaned very clean. There is no dust on the windowsill table, and there is an ancient bronze lion incense burner on the rosewood high table. It exudes light smoke from his mouth, and the quiet fragrance is full.
Cheng Yu sat down on the chair behind the desk and said, "Did you see the documents and letters here? You can burn the brazier and burn these objects. These objects are very important and must not fall into the hands of Dachengjun."
After saying this, Cheng Yu breathed out: "Cheng Biao."
"exist."
"Burn!"
"promise!"
Seeing the fire burning, Cheng Yu took a deep breath and felt a burst of fatigue surge out of his body. The difficulty of resting for several days and nights before made his eye sockets sink deep.
Now that I have the awareness of dying, I feel relaxed.
After a while, I saw that the letters were almost burning. At this time, the sound of killing was approaching, and the sound of shouting, commands, fighting, and screams were clearly transmitted in the distance.
Cheng Yu held up a sword and pulled out half a foot, and the cold sword light shining dazzlingly.
This sword was given by the lord. He has never left him for many years, killed the enemy and killed officers...
He smiled bitterly, pulled it out, stood up slowly, shook his head and sighed: "Haha... I killed countless people for the sake of generals, and my life is over here, and it is also a matter of energy-"
After saying that, a light flashed across the sword in his hand and wiped it towards his neck. With a "puff" sound, blood immediately splattered.
At this time, Lu Gao had already climbed in. The steps were very high, and the stone lion carvings were vivid and majestic. Accompanied by his personal soldiers, Lu Gao walked up the steps and walked inside.
There were corpses and blood everywhere in the mansion, but the shouts of killing gradually became weaker. Lu Gao walked along the way and bowed to him countless soldiers. Until he arrived at a yard, Zheng Yu's family came up and said, "Master, Cheng Yu committed suicide by crossing his sword."
"Oh?" Although I had expected it, Lu Gao still sank, stopped and took a moment to step in.
The courtyard was covered with corpses, and none of them were descended. When the study inside, there was a smell of burning. A person was lying on the ground, and the wounds on his neck were visible, and the blood was wet with his official clothes.
Lu Gao stared for a moment and ordered: "This is a loyal minister. The body must not be destroyed and the body must be buried with a good life."
After a pause, I remembered the people outside and said, "There are also charity servants outside, let's bury them together!"
After saying that, Lu Gao did not avoid it. He picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, thought in his heart, and wrote it word by word, filled a piece of paper, blow it open, and sealed the letter. This was a memorial to the emperor, reporting this matter, and after writing it, he thought in his heart: "I don't know where Your Majesty is at this time, can you reach Chenliu?"
After conquering Jiyang County, Gunzhou was actually pacified, because the lonely Chenliu could not resist.
Tens of thousands of troops surrounded Chenliu, and Chenliu was definitely surrendered.
