The first thousand two hundred and thirty-seven chapters break the city
Although he was different from Pugu Huaien and his son, he was not as valued by Du Shiyi as soon as he became effective, and then made great contributions. He followed Du Shiyi from Shuofang to Mobei for more than ten years, since Luo Xinzhu Aguten, since he joined the Anbei Protectorate because of his father Abus's little thoughts, he has been fighting in the south and north in recent years and has made many contributions. While his official rank has been constantly improving, he is still very satisfied with Du Shiyi, the boss. He is doing what he says, justice and not biased. The construction of Luoya Treasure City was even earlier than that of Puguya Treasure City, and the distribution of spoils and rewards has always been very generous.
The most important thing is vision. Beside Du Shiyi, he never felt that he was a foreigner, so even if his father Abus was sent to the northwest wind, he was convinced.
Therefore, when Zhang Xing ordered a full-scale attack, listening to the high trumpet behind him, he felt full of strength. He couldn't even wait for the ladders to be raised on the city wall, and he jumped under the city wall and climbed up a pedal arrow. After he stood firm, he quickly climbed up the other one in the slanting place. After just two rounds of volleys, there were many such pedal arrows for footsteps on the entire Youzhou city wall. Except for Aguten, there were many soldiers who couldn't wait for the ladder to be raised and started to climb the city, all of whom were quite confident in their skills. Most of the troops composed of surrendered soldiers rushed into the city from the opened city gate, and they were actually two-pronged, without delay.
The battle at the city wall has reached a heightened heat. Although those loyal to Shi Siming tried their best to fight for the winch, they could not resist the huge influence of Shi Chaoyi, the eldest son of Shi Siming, who turned against him. They were defeated several times of charge. Some soldiers also hated Shi Chaoyi's betrayal and wanted to seize the bow and arrow from the soldiers guarding the city to kill the traitor. But Wu Chengen was so old that when the situation was already in his favor, he immediately pulled Shi Chaoyi back and hid in the safe city tower to look down at the chaos below. Shi Chaoyi was not a ruthless person. He resisted his worries about this chaos and did not dare to look out again.
When he heard a loud shout from the outside that the surrender was not killed, he couldn't help but quickly look out. With just one glance, he caught a big man named Angzang jumped to the city tower, and even ignored which side of the two sides of the melee, he opened his throat and screamed. However, maybe he was the first enemy to climb to the city, maybe his voice was too loud, and the chaotic head of the city paused for a moment. Just as the rebels of a decisive hard-core wanted to turn their spearheads at the foreign enemy, more figures followed the big man on the city.
"According to the order of the marshal, those who surrender will be exempted from death, and those who are killed will not be merciless."
Perhaps seeing the city was in chaos. Although they were clamoring to surrender, they didn't know which side was his own person. Aguten, who had won the first meritorious service in the city, had an idea and immediately shouted loudly: "Those who surrendered took off their helmets and scarves."
As more and more enemy troops climbed to the city, such sharp voices echoed around the city. The surrendered faction was naturally willing to end their disgraceful rebel career. The two-sided fence faction immediately turned the wind direction and decided to become the surrender faction. The two factions, which occupied the absolute majority, couldn't wait to take off the helmets or turbans on their heads. Now, the remaining people suddenly seemed particularly eye-catching. This trick was effective in identifying the enemy and us not only for the Tongluo soldiers led by Aguten, but also for the Youyan soldiers on the city that had just fought in chaos. Some people even found that they had cut down the wrong person in the chaos just now.
Wu Chengen also immediately woke up. He didn't care about Shi Chaoyi, and immediately brought a few personal soldiers to meet with his confidants who had guarded the gate of the city tower. After secretly ordered the elimination of dead tough gangs, he said loudly: "I dare to ask which general of Anbei Protectorate is here? I am Wu Chengen, the envoy of Pinglu military horses. I am willing to lead my subordinates to surrender Marshal Du."
Not everyone can hear such a distinction, but Aguten is of course an exception. He was already in a good mood and didn't care that the old guy who was speaking was already old. Seeing a rebel who was wearing a helmet trying to kill him, he smiled and did not dodge or avoided it and brought the knife to meet him. After passing the knife, he then used an extremely sinister move to pull the knife down. Seeing that the rebel who was still showing his reluctance to fall to the sky, he just looked in the direction of the speech with the knife that had just been seen.
"I will report to the Marshal truthfully with such a righteous heart. As for the fact that I am just an unknown general in the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion, it is not worth mentioning."
Aguten's style is completely different from the bravery of Pugu Huaien and his son. He inherited some of his father's scheming qualities. He always wore armor exactly the same as that of his generals under his command during wars. Now he was the same when he entered the city. Although he wanted to make contributions, he was unwilling to be the target of public criticism. Therefore, even if Wu Chengen revealed his identity and asked about his origin after he found out his identity, he was still secretive. As more and more soldiers climbed the city, he immediately sent people to control the winch, which made people use a sending tube to convey a message to Zhang Xing.
Although Wu Chengen was helpless, he didn't care too much. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the number of hard-working gangs was getting smaller and smaller, Wu Chenggui personally directed people to clear the orders. Even Cao Neng, who started to pass the orders on Shi Siming's order, made a wise choice after weighing the situation. However, he had no friendship with the Wu brothers, and he was even less familiar with the Marshal Du Shiyi. But he had his own way. He directly found Shi Chaoyi and said carefully: "Sir, I did offend the first one, but I was only ordered by the Grand Marshal. Now the times have changed drastically and are willing to follow the eldest son and surrender to the court."
Cao Neng didn't have integrity anymore, and Wu Chengen thought so too. Seeing that the man Ang Zang, who was obviously Lieutenant General of the Anbei Army, refused to reveal his origin, Wu Chengen also found Shi Chaoyi and said with a smile: "Since my nephew has met Marshal Du, after surrender, my uncle Chengyu and I will rely on your care for you."
My life and future are not guaranteed yet
Shi Chaoyi was immediately amazed and crying. How could he say that he had just met Du Shiyi, and did not get his promise or approval, nor did he agree to do anything. He himself did not expect that he would be misunderstood for his life, but he had no way to explain the misunderstandings and did not want to explain them. He only hoped that Du Shiyi could give him a way out when he could attract so many soldiers to surrender and let the Tang army spend a lot of effort. At least he was much more useful than An Qingzong, the waste son of An Lushan.
The attack between the north and the south was originally a strategy set by the generals after they wiped out all the rebel strongholds in the south of Youzhou City with lightning speed. Then, depending on the situation, he adopted a tactic of complementary between reality and reality. Therefore, when he saw three bright green meteors rising in the north sky, he couldn't help but be stunned. After a long time, he smiled and said: "When he sent someone to contact him in front of the Qishi Trail, he also blamed himself for the expedition and broke into Hebei first, but he was blocked by Juyongguan and could not move forward. Unexpectedly, he took the lead in breaking into Youzhou City."
"Marson, is the Anbei army already entering the city?" Even though Huya was convinced by Du Shiyi, she felt unbelievable at this moment. "Shi Siming is definitely not a mediocre person, and there are still many rebel generals in the city. How could Zhang Changshi break into Youzhou City so quickly?"
"Because Youzhou has become an isolated city, for many people, it is better to learn from Cui Ganyou, Hotan, and Ganzhen, and let go of their posture and pride and surrender, than to burn them all after the city is broken. In other words, since the rebels swept through Henan and Hebei to the peak of Duji Province, and now they have only three counties, people's hearts have become uneven."
Speaking of this, Du Shiyi suddenly paused and saw that Azle was fine, as if it had nothing to do with him. He continued: "Shi Siming wanted to surrender while preserving his strength, and there should be many rebel generals with the same thoughts as him. But for such a big thing, he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so he should not have disclosed it to others. Now that a hundred thousand troops are besieging the city, he found that I was just a vain with him, and of course I would vent my anger on Shi Chaoyi. If Shi Chaoyi was not a fool, of course he would strive to protect himself. Moreover, Shi Siming is not An Lushan. Even if he is as close as his brothers, among the rebels, there are many equals to his military rank, and he is not enough to convince those generals."
At the end of the explanation, since there was clearly good news in the north, Du Shiyi ordered the winch crossbows under the city to attack the southern city again, and at the same time sent the news that Anbei army had entered the city to Guo Ziyi and Cheng Qianli. No one expected that Pugu Huai'en was transferred by Du Shiyi to block the Yuyang soldiers and horses, but Zhang Xing was in front of him. But when Azle, who came to deliver the letter in person, said mysteriously that human calculations were not as good as God's plan. The two could only laugh at Zhang Xing for being lucky, and immediately ordered to rectify the troops and transfer the infantry who were in charge of the siege, and at the same time, let the horse army warm up.
Although it was just a lost gate, as long as Shi Siming had a little brain, he would not continue to trap Youzhou. He would definitely break through to Miyun or Yuyang. As long as he could win Shi Siming, it would be a great achievement.
"The east gate of Youzhou City is wide open, and a soldier is coming out."
It was said that a hundred thousand troops surrounded Youzhou, but that was only known as it was because Pugu Huaien took away a group of elite horses, and the three troops here and the rebels reorganized after surrender were only more than 80,000. Therefore, Du Shiyi generously surrounded three missing one, emptying the road leading to Miyun and Yuyang counties in the east of Youzhou City. Therefore, at this moment, when he heard the war report that the Youzhou defenders had indeed broken through the east, he was not surprised and ordered directly: "Send the order to enter Youzhou City and use the fastest speed to suppress the order in the city. Be sure to clean up the situation before dark."
If Shi Siming is really in the horse army breaking through, then I'll be blessed.
