At the south gate of Xiyang City, the Chen army soldiers who controlled the city gate looked at a certain place in the city in a panic. Their head coach, King Shixing, Chen Shuling, led the main force to attack the residence of Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou, and it seems that they have not taken it down until now. And it suddenly became noisy there. As time goes by, their uneasiness becomes greater and greater.
The situation was not right outside the east suburbs of the city. Looking from a distance, there was a flash of fire. It seemed that something was burning in the other side of Bakou. In addition, the sparks suddenly bloomed in the sky just now, all this made people feel restless.
Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone was brought by Shangguan's use of both soft and hard skills. If Jiangbei wins, it would be fine. If there is anything wrong with it, it would be a sin. The current situation makes people feel that it is getting worse and worse.
Fortunately, they were responsible for guarding the city gate. The riverside not far outside the gate was a warship. If there was anything wrong, jumped onto the ship and untied the rope and supported it with a bamboo pole. Because the river water here is turbulent, the warships are tightly attached to each other and lean against the shore to escape, and they have to run to the outermost ship to leave first.
A group of black shadows were moving towards the city gate on the bank of the river on the west side. The soldiers guarding the gate were nervous and they all bent their bows and arrows, waiting for an order to shoot arrows. The defenders on the east and west sides had already come along the top of the city to test that they were defeated. Now there are people under the city who are afraid that the defenders will attack again.
"Don't shoot arrows, your own people, your own people!" Someone shouted. General Chen's army led the army to learn that the other party might be the Tian clan soldiers who came to reinforce, so he signaled his subordinates to stabilize, but still asked the other party to stop and send people to speak.
He recognized the person who had just gone to the west gate to ask for help. Seeing that people were sent to the city several times, he knew that the situation was urgent and quick to let the other party come over: "Move faster, the king is in a hurry!"
A group of people ran up. At first glance, the generals saw that most of them were wearing ordinary clothes, but the few in front of them were wearing armor and knew that they were mobs organized by the clan. What was strange was that they all had white cloth straps on their heads, which seemed to indicate their identities.
General Chen Jun felt a little confused, but a smile appeared on his face: "Who are you leading the way?"
"Tian has seen the general, but I wonder what the king wants us to do?" A middle-aged man walked up and asked. He was about 40 or 50 years old, but he had a good figure and a pair of bright eyes. The general of Chen army guessed that he might be Tian Zongqian, the eldest son of Tian clan, and asked him to lead his clan troops into the city to assist in attacking the residence of Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou.
"Everyone, I will be rewarded after breaking through Yuwen Wen's mansion!"
"Since that's the case, everyone should move quickly!" Tian Zongguang signaled the clan soldiers to enter the city. The Chen army soldiers guarding the gate saw this and made way out like an obstacle. Just as the clan soldiers were halfway through, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the east side of the city, as if someone was galloping here.
"There are enemies, prepare for the battle!" The general of Chen army shouted. He had a lot of troops in his hands and there were soldiers in the Tian clan, so he was not afraid of the opponent's attack. The South Gate is the rear of the entire army, so there must be no accidents.
Just as he was about to command his subordinates to face the enemy, his neck felt a pain, and then his eyes turned around. He saw a headless corpse struggling to fall to the ground and standing next to him with a long sword in his hand dripping blood.
The Tian clan soldiers who were originally from their own people actually attacked!
All this happened so suddenly that Chen Jun soldiers were chopped up by the other party before they could deal with it. The city gate was in chaos. The Chen Jun archer who was alert on the top of the city couldn't figure out what was going on below for a moment. The Tian clan soldiers rushed up the steps and hurriedly drew their swords to fight.
"Kill the thief and welcome the official army!" Tian Zongguang shouted loudly and then signaled his men to blow the horn. Chen Jun, who was left on the warship by the river, saw someone attacking, and knew something was wrong, jumped off the boat and rushed ashore to fight to the death.
A sharp-eyed man suddenly saw something floating down not far upstream. He flashed with fire. When the things approached, they found that there were fire rafts on them, with a bunch of flammable objects tied on them, and the fire became bigger and bigger.
"The fire raft is a fire raft, they want to burn the boat!!!" A panic shout rang out, and the sailors went to find bamboo poles in horror to try to block the fire boat.
Chen's warships were berthed on the shore in a dense manner, and the fire ships were close to each other. In just a moment, they crashed into the warship group and then the fire began to spread. Except for the outermost warships, which had time to unplug the cables and leave, most of the ships had no time to escape.
The sound of horse hooves approached and dozens of cavalry roared and bent their bows and arrows to shoot down Chen Jun who was blocking the front. With the light of fire, they saw a horse resisting in front of them, so they pulled their mounts and jumped off their horses and pulled their swords to rush to move the roadblock. When the first person saw a group of men with white cloth straps at the city gate fighting with Chen Jun soldiers, they shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers have arrived. The Chen thief has not yet surrendered!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry arrived rushed through the road that had been cleared and rushed towards the Chen army soldiers who were in a melee, but the blades were all avoiding the man with white cloth on their heads.
......
On the snow-covered street, Chen Jun soldiers were fleeing in a hurry to the south, but the pursuers behind them followed slowly, neither making the distance longer nor shortening. I don’t know when there were many people on the streets that were originally empty, blocking all the roads except the south.
The soldiers of Chen Jun, who suffered heavy casualties, were not in the mood to think about the strangeness. They landed on the riverside in the south suburbs of Xiyang City and entered the city from the south gate. Now they wanted to escape and naturally returned along the same route, even if the fools were running in another direction.
Chen Shuling, with a gray face, was carried by a guard. His left thigh was bleeding and his wound was simply bandaged with cloth to stop bleeding. Just now, when the ambush suddenly attacked and attacked, Chen Shuling was chopped several times and other wounds were not hindered, but the wound on his leg affected his movement speed.
Tian Yuansheng, with disheveled hair, followed by a sad face. When he was fighting bloody just now, his head was almost cut off with a knife, but his head was shrunk quickly, but he was cut into the pocket and saved his life.
"It's over. It's over," Tian Yuansheng lamented in his heart. Everything is over now. He thought that Yuwen Wen, who was ignorant of the world, was plotted by him, but he thought that he was plotted by the other party. The situation was reversed instantly, which was incredible.
Yuwen Wen will be wary of the Tian family and some of the city's wealthy families to make trouble tonight. He not only knew that he also used the trick to send people to "inform" in an attempt to mislead the other party and then mobilize troops, which led to the emptiness of the guards of the mansion. He thought that borrowing the east wind of King Chen Shuling of Shixing could burn Yuwen Wen to death without a burial place, but in the end he was defeated.
The Tian family restrained the defenders in the west of the city, and the Lu family restrained the war soldiers in the east. Several of his accomplices led their respective troops to set fire to the city and restrain the state soldiers, while he personally led people to take down the south gate and pick up thousands of soldiers from Chen Shuling into the city.
This should be beyond Yu Wen Wen's expectations. But now it seems that the other party is also well prepared. In addition, his troops, there were thousands of people besieging the mansion, but no one expected that it would be impossible to conquer it.
Thinking about the ambushers who watched his side besiege the mansion but waited silently for the time to attack, he felt cold all over. Yuwen Wen was like a patient hunter who used himself as bait and waited for the prey to enter the trap and was exhausted. Then he suddenly exerted a force and attacked him to death.
Tian Yuansheng regretted being against Yuwen Wen. He felt that his losses were not so great that they lost everything, but he just couldn't swallow that, so he colluded with Chen Shuling, the King of Shixing who came to him, to make up the situation.
As a result, Yuwen Wen has turned the tables, and his family business is in Xiyang City and Bazhou. He originally thought that after the matter was done, he would plunder the people in the city and then move to Jiangnan with his family wealth. Now it seems that not to mention money, he can't even save people.
He was able to escape from heaven, but Amitabha Buddha stayed in the mansion. Don’t think about it because Yuwen Wen, who settled the accounts afterwards, would not let them go. When Tian Yuansheng thought of this, he felt sad.
"City gate, the city gate is ahead!" He shouted at the dark city gate at the southern end of the street, and the surrounding Chen soldiers also saw the city gate that could allow them to escape from the sky, and couldn't help but speed up. But what was strange was that the fire outside the city wall was soaring into the sky and didn't know what was going on.
After the Chen State's Northern Expedition, they were defeated and suffered more experiences: they didn't need to run too fast, just don't be at the bottom faster than others. They had to keep their energy to grab the boat in a while, but they couldn't run halfway through, and it would be a hard work to row the boat back to Jiangnan.
A general was shouting that someone would break the rear and "let the king go first". The soldiers who were disguised their armor did not care about so many people nowadays, whoever obeyed the orders would be fools. The young and old in the family were still waiting for themselves to go back and reunite. Who was so lard that they were confused. "let the king go first" and sent their death in the palace.
Chen Shuling looked ahead with a distracted look. This time he went north and was like a gambler who lost his eyes and bet all his wealth, waiting to turn the tables. Now it seems that he will even lose all his life.
His father summoned him back to Jiankang several times and was excused by various reasons. Now Chen Shuling privately mobilized Wuchang County soldiers to go north to attack Zhou's borders and prefectures. If he succeeded, it would be fine. If he was defeated, he would probably be injured.
The father who has been doting himself will be in trouble. When the incompetent elder brother Chen Shubao ascended the throne, he will definitely settle the old and new accounts together, and this matter will be the best excuse. He can already foresee the expression of the disgusting face when he looks at him.
No, you can't sit there like this and wait for death. When you return to the south bank, you will flee upstream to the Xinzhou General Administration of Zhou's State surrender. Yang Jian, the powerful minister of Zhou, will definitely not treat me, the prince of Chen!
At least he can be a rich man. If Yang Jian attacked Yuwen Liang and his son in the future, he might still see Yuwen Wen beheaded and show the public. Even after the Chen State conquered Jiankang, he could still see Chen Shubao who was taken to Chang'an!
When Chen Shuling thought of this, he couldn't help but smile, and even now he was in danger, he didn't think anything was wrong. He decided to leave the city and take a boat back to the south bank and flee with his confidant tomorrow.
‘It’s okay, it’s okay, the city gate...’ Chen Shuling thought of this but was stunned by the scene in front of him: the city gate ahead is slowly closing!
Before he could have been shocked, he saw a torch lit up on the city tower. Under the crowd, the black archers were bent and arrows were aimed at his own archers.
"The ship is burnt out! Put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and immediately surrender and save yourself and wait for the dog's life!"
The thunderous shouts sounded and the soldiers of Chen Jun, who were as anxious as a dog of a prodigal family, looked at each other in shock. They wanted to run to both sides but saw an ambush on the road, and the pursuers behind them also accelerated their pace and blocked their retreat.
Chen Shuling looked at the city gate that had changed hands in disbelief. He couldn't figure out why he had left someone to guard him. After experiencing the joy of attacking Yuwen Wen's mansion and the fear of being defeated by the ambush, he just thought of a way out but was severely cut off. The transition from hope to despair was too fast and he couldn't accept it.
"Kill, kill and grab the city gate!" Chen Shuling leaned on the guard and shouted wildly, but no one of the soldiers around him advanced. They all threw down their weapons and stood dejectedly. The ambushers around him were staring at them, but there was no chance to escape from the sky.
So what if you break through the city gate? The fires soaring into the sky outside the city and the other party's shouting just now have already shown that the warships moored by the river are over, and everyone will have water. But it's okay to jump into the river and swim for a while. If you swim across the river, you may only have one or two of them alive to get ashore in ten miles.
Seeing that no one was obedient, Chen Shuling struggled to jump off the guard's back and pulled Tian Yuansheng and asked loudly where the Tian clan soldiers who were coming to pick him up were. Tian Yuansheng looked dim and pointed at the direction of the city tower and said that they were all above.
"King, Tian Zongguang surrendered to the enemy..."
"Didn't you say that Tian Zongguang and Yuwen Wen have a sympathy? Didn't you say that he wants to save his son?" Chen Shuling roared. He couldn't accept the blows of being betrayed one after another. He thought that Yuwen Wen was a prisoner now it seems that he was the tragic loser.
Seeing the enemy rushing to the front, he pulled out his sword and shouted to his subordinates to meet the enemy. However, none of the soldiers and guards around him took action but looked at him steadily. Seeing this, Chen Shuling felt sad and angry and wanted to commit suicide with his sword. He didn't want to be knocked to the ground by Tian Yuansheng and then pressed him to death:
"This is Chen Shuling, King Shixing! Come and catch him! Come and catch him!"
