Chapter 473 No way to retreat
Xiao Moha's army had not yet approached Jiangling, but encountered the defeated soldiers captured by the scouts.
The defeated soldiers were already frightened and could not say anything about the city. They could only say that the city had been destroyed.
Xiao Moha could not march any longer, so he had to station on the spot and sent many scouts to him. After a long time, he caught an officer and learned from the other party that the city had been opened by the insider and Gao Yanzong had entered the city.
Gao Yanzong took action very quickly, and it took only eight days to send troops to Jiangling.
Xiao Mohe was in trouble at this moment. When something happened in the rear, the food and grass here were cut off directly. He had to take the army to retreat to the local direction, and sent a cavalry to inform the situation here, asking the rear to bring food to the reception.
If the food is cut off from his place, Gao Yanzong will take him down with hundreds of cavalrymen.
As for the defeated soldiers here, Xiao Moha was powerless.
In Jiangling City, it is brightly lit at this moment.
Gao Yanzong sat in the upper seat and held a banquet, and many soldiers who made contributions to their work.
Chunyu Liang was invited to the upper throne, Gao Yanzong sat on the left, he sat on the right, and the other generals sat under them.
Chunyu Liang sat here with a smile on his face, but he was still giving in his mouth.
"The defeated general should not be in the same line as the general..."
"Don't say this!"
"If General Chunyu hadn't been to this Jiangling City, how could I enter?"
"If you want to say that Lord Chen has no eyes, General Chunyu gave the order, the heroes in the army responded one after another, which shows his ability to govern the army and his power! Everyone, stand up with me and respect General Chunyu... Tea!"
Everyone stood up one after another, picked up the 'tea' in their hands, Chunyu Liang quickly stood up, and smiled at everyone and returned the gift.
Eat them together.
Although Gao Yanzong had the highest official position at the moment and could secretly eat some "tea", he also knew that the city had just been taken down and there were still soldiers outside in chaos and could not eat too much, so he took away the tea in time, changed into meat, and everyone feasted.
Gao Yanzong and Chunyu Liang talked about what happened next.
Gao Yanzong truly admired Chunyuliang.
He didn't know Chunyuliang's arrangements in the past, but just thought that Chunyuliang was breaking the city through his prestige.
He held Chunyuliang's hand and sighed: "I heard that after Wei Xiaokuan surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he persuaded the surrender of cities in various places in Guanzhong, but he only persuaded the surrender of five or six cities. I see that Chunyu Gong's prestige among the soldiers was better than Wei Xiaokuan's among the Zhou soldiers. Just once, I came forward and let my soldiers take down Jingbei without bloodshed. Even if I attacked Jiangling City, I would be killed less than seven hundred times!!"
Chunyu Liang hurriedly said, "This is because of the bravery of the general. The general led thousands of soldiers to destroy eight cities and three checkpoints of the State of Chen. He even defeated the important city of Jiangling and killed Zhang Zhaoda...\n."
Gao Yanzong was still nodding before, but as he listened, he quickly changed his color and shook his head.
"I barely admit that I am sieging the city and siege, but I am not killed by Zhaoda. He died of illness!"
"No, no, Zhang Zhaoda learned that the general broke the city and died of qi and blood attacked his heart. How could he say that he died of illness? Or the general's merit."
"I congratulate the general."
Hearing this sentence, Gao Yanzong was quite frustrated.
"This was like this before that Yuwen Zhi, but now Zhang Zhaoda is like this again...:
He looked at Chunyu Liang helplessly, "Donald Chunyu, why are you so unlucky? When I attacked Zhou State, I did nothing, so I picked up the credit for killing the Duke. Now, I am fighting Jingbei, and I have taken the army around and picked up the credit for killing the general. As well as your previous resignation, they also said it was my credit. Why am I so unlucky??"
Chunyu Liang's lips trembled for a moment, "This.:::
"Sooner or later, I can also make great contributions to the future!"
"That's nature, that's nature."
Chunyu Liang didn't want to pay attention to this fat man anymore.
Gao Yanzong asked again: "Donald Chunyu, although he captured the city this time, there are still many defeated soldiers outside the city. If these people cannot clean up in time, they may not harm more than ten surrounding states in the future. What can you do?"
"I want to send someone to pursue me, but I have too few troops. There are Xiao Maha's army outside. I have already divided a lot of troops. If I send troops to pursue me, I am afraid that I will be defeated by Xiao Maha."
"I'm not afraid of this guy being brave, but I'm worried that the devil will not be able to fight him."
Chunyuliang volunteered, "This matter can be handled by me...\n.\n.
Xinling.
Gao Changgong's marching speed was not much faster than his younger brother. He rushed to the battlefield and began to prepare for the siege.
The generals who were under his scrupulous strokes were also rubbing their fists and preparing to make achievements.
Gao Changgong put on a familiar mask, looked at the city in the distance, and then looked down at the map in his hand.
In this battle, Gao Changgong felt that he might be the one who could make the greatest contribution.
Although the road here is the most difficult to walk, and many levels are of the same type of level as the one-man level, the problem is that there are far fewer defenders here than those in the north, and some levels only have more than a hundred people. Moreover, the impact of this chaos is still spreading, and the chaos here is just beginning, and he believes that he can make great contributions.
Just as he was preparing his siege strategy, letters from the rear arrived.
Gao Yanzong sent someone to reply, telling his brother that he would no longer have to worry about the Chen Bing who was behind him. In order to prevent Jiangling's defenders from attacking and attacking, he had already occupied Jiangling.
Seeing the letter, Gao Changgong couldn't help laughing.
This guy is really a blessed person.
Gao Changgong no longer worried about the rear and directly chose to attack.
Gao Changgong, the main general, was still very fierce. When he was fighting, he still used the tactics of the Xianbei people in the past to select the most elite armored soldiers, put them on heavy armor, break one place first, and the rest of the army directly pressed on them.
If he hadn't been the chief general now, he would have to climb the city wall himself. However, with his current location, climbing the city wall himself would definitely not be able to climb the city wall himself. He could only watch others climb the city wall.
Under Gao Changgong's bombing, more than a thousand defenders in Xinling could not stop Gao Changgong for too long and quickly collapsed.
Gao Changgong did not pause and killed him in the direction of Yong'an.
At this time, the three armies were in contact with the Zhou army at the same time, and the general attack was officially started.
The main army broke through several levels and surrounded Hanzhong. Fortunately, Yuwen Xian had expected this a long time ago and transported the emperor to the rear in advance. He also retreated to the direction of Jiange, and Yuchi Jiong was in charge of Hanzhong and could not stand.
Liu Taozi attacked Hanzhong with a large army, and Yuchi Jiong fought to the death, and the war was quite fierce.
Jie Luxian's progress was the slowest, and he was blocked in Hengxiang and could not move forward.
And Gao Changgong is still making progress.
Liu Taozi's tens of thousands of troops surrounded Hanzhong, and the army was divided into several groups and took turns to attack the city, and he continued to stop.
Liu Taozi can finally bully people by taking advantage of his military strength.
As for the Zhou army in the city, they suffered a great pain.
Yuwen Xian could not have left too many troops for Yuchi Jiong, but he left a lot of food. This is the confidence they could not hold on to. However, the fierce attack of the Han army was indeed beyond the expectations of Yuchi Jiong and others.
This legion has amazing combat power and exaggerated morale. Every time it attacks the city, it is extremely fierce. The soldiers held up their shields and started charging, falling from the ladder. If they don’t die, they have to continue climbing. When they climb up the city wall, they will rush towards the enemy that is several times their own without fear, and will fight to the death without retreating.
Yuchi Jiong had never been hit by such a heavy 'fist'.
Before Yuwen Xian left, he sincerely told him that he could stay in Hanzhong for more than half a year.
He wanted to concentrate the power of Bashu, launch a counterattack within half a year, and follow him to retreat to the enemy.
Yuchi Jiong felt that with the height of Hanzhong City and the sufficient food and supplies in the city, even though the enemy had a large army, it was difficult for him to break through in a short time, so he agreed.
But he didn't expect that the enemy's offensive could reach this level.
In the first siege of the enemy, Yuchi Jiong almost overturned the car and made people climb the city. If he hadn't fought to the death, it would have almost become a joke.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
The sound of war drums came from outside the city again. Yuchi Jiong was panting, holding a short soldier, standing on the city tower, looking at the enemy troops gathering again in the distance.
The morale of the soldiers in the city was not high, and the departure of the emperor and Yuwen Xian made them feel abandoned and their morale was even lower. The enemy's continuous attacks became the last straw.
When Yuchi stood on the city tower, he could still vaguely hear the crying sounds coming from around him.
Yuchi's expression was confused.
In his life, he has fought many battles and many tough battles, but this time, he felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.
I never felt this way when I was fighting Zu Ting and Gao Changgong before.
The army confronts inside and outside the city.
On one side, it is as powerful as a tiger, as the sun is at the sky, but on the other side, it is lifeless, and the sun sets in the west.
This contrast is too obvious.
Yuchi Jiong couldn't help but murmur: Could it be that the Great Zhou Dynasty's energy has been exhausted?
Just when Yuchi Jiong was confused, a noise suddenly came from the city.
"kill!!"
Yuchi Jiong turned around in a hurry and an officer rushed over, "Duke!! No, Duke! The army at the East City Gate was in chaos, saying that the King of Qi killed the king, and wanted to open the city to welcome the Han army..."
Yuchi Jiong only felt the metaphors in his mind.
Yuwen Xian asked him to stay for 180 days.
Now only twenty-three days have passed... He is not afraid of death, but at least he cannot defeat so quickly!
"Suppress the rebellion!!"
"Let me go...in person!!"
Yuchi Jiong rushed down the city wall, changed his horse, and led the knights toward the east gate.
When he arrived, the place was already in chaos.
The troops withdrawn from the north were fighting with the local troops. The two sides gradually began to ignore you and me, kill everyone they saw, and the officers could no longer control them. No one even knew that the initiator of the rebellion was the one who was just killing.
This can no longer be regarded as a rebellion, this is the roar!!
Yuchi Jiong ordered the left and right to send orders, asking everyone to stop.
It is not easy to calm these riots who are deeply damaged and have completely collapsed mentally.
Yuchi Jiong could only start a massacre. The cavalry charged several times and killed many others. The rest calmed down, but they had no fighting spirit. They knelt on the ground and shivered and cried bitterly.
Just as Yuchi was about to appease him, another officer came hurriedly.
This time, some soldiers went crazy and began to rob the grain warehouse in groups and wanted to set fire.
The army outside the city also began to attack fiercely.
With internal and external troubles, Yuchi Jiong's eyes were full of despair.
He had no choice but to send someone to stop the riots and hurried back to command the city defense battle.
However, rebellions and turmoil in the city were endless, and soldiers defected and killed officials and robbed grains frequently occurred.
After three days of this, the East City Gate of Hanzhong was finally captured by the Han army.
Yuchi Jiong fought hard several times but could not be recaptured. The Han army continued to influx, and the Zhou army became more and more passive.
After entering the city, Yuchi Jiong led his personal soldiers to start a street battle, but the soldiers in the city no longer had the fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.
In the blink of an eye, all the three armies rebelled, and Yuchi Jingdu was almost captured by his own family and presented it to Liu Taozi.
In grief and anger, Yuchi Jiong could only lead more than thirty cavalry and escape from the city.
Liu Taozi's main force officially advanced into Hanzhong.
This was another huge blow to the Zhou army.
When Liu Taozi rode his war horse and swung into Hanzhong City, the Han army generals shouted, and the shouts could be heard clearly even from a distance.
They and their group came to the official office, which was where Yuwen Zan was granted his title.
Liu Taozi rewarded the meritorious soldiers, and then ordered the army to be rectified and prepared to continue to march.
Zu Ban stood beside Liu Taozi, took out a lot of documents from his sleeve, and almost burst into laughter.
"Look at it, your Majesty, these were sent by officials from all over the Zhou State to send their home slaves."
"oh?"
"Since Sima's resignation, officials from all over the Zhou State also knew that the situation was hopeless and wanted to actively surrender...\n. I have probably read all the contents of these documents, and I hope to save my life after the war..."
"There are a few of them that I can still use."
Zu Ban was quite happy. Under the general trend, all those who dared to disobey were just mantis armed and chariots!
These letters are enough to show how chaos in the Zhou State has reached. Even officials have written letters to secretly ask for life, so there is no need to say more about the rest.
Zu Ban then took out the memorials and maps from other places to analyze the current situation.
"Yan Qing is indeed difficult to deal with. Hu Luxian will not be able to take him in the short term, but they still restrained a lot of troops, which is convenient for us to advance."
"Yuwen Xian took Yuwen Zan to escape... The more he fled, the more chaotic it became. The letters from the officials said that Yuwen Xian was still fighting within Yuwen Xian. He heard that Gao Ying imprisoned Yang Su, but was rescued by Yang Jian. Yuwen Zan couldn't stop at all and tried every means to summon people to seize power. He wanted to participate in the government. Yuwen Xian's attitude towards him was getting worse and worse. The so-called auxiliary minister was not single-minded...\n."
"This Yuwen Xian is becoming more and more like Yuwen Hu."
Zu Ban waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is the general trend. Things have reached this point. The enemy is still fighting for power and profit. If such a country does not perish, will it be natural?!"
"We shouldn't stay in Hanzhong for too long, so we should continue to march!"
"Don't give them a chance to breathe, and keep forcing, just like Hanzhong, under our fierce attack, there is a lot of internal chaos, which will be broken. The same is true for the Zhou Kingdom! The more urgent we fight, the more obvious their internal problems will be!"
Liu Taozi nodded slightly.
"Collection of food and grass in the city quickly and continue to march!!"
"only!!"
The army only rested in Hanzhong for a few days, and then continued to set out to attack Xiangyang'an Pass.
At this critical moment, good news finally came from the west. Huluxian captured Hengxiang Zhucheng, and Yan Qing led the knights to break through and flee towards Wudu.
When Liu Taozi's army arrived, Yang'an Pass surrendered directly, opened the door and dared not resist.
Liu Taozi divided his troops and attacked Wudu, Jiange and other directions respectively.
As soon as the news came out, Bashu was shocked.
The surrendered factions in China quickly rose and wrote a letter to Yuwen Xian, hoping that the whole country would surrender to the destiny began to emerge.
At this time, Yuwen Xian had just arrived at Jiange and was trying to find a way to clean up the mess.
But the mess was only half cleaned up, and he had to face the army of Liu Taozi who came to knock on the gate with great victory.
Yuwen Xian looked like he had become twenty years older in an instant.
All the front lines were asking for help, and even the Yong'an direction was asking for help. Gao Changgong's speed of advance was still a bit too strong. The troops there were seriously insufficient. I hope the court could help him as soon as possible. If he could not help, they would surrender.
After hundreds of years of turmoil, there are still people who can fight for the country and sacrifice their lives for the country, but there are no more people like in the past. The rituals and music are broken, and people's hearts are not as old. These local officials have been officials for decades.
There may have been three or four courts in succession. For them, surrendering and surrendering to new forces is common.
Yuwen Xian sat in the upper position and was furious as he heard the old famous scholars from Shu who came to pay their respects to him explaining the principles of surrender for him.
He immediately ordered these famous lands to be killed and used to sacrifice flags.
Then many generals from the devil were summoned.
"I don't want to retreat again!"
"She is in Jiange and fight Liu Taozi to the death!!"
"The thief came from afar, and most of them were cavalry, which was not for him!"
Chapter completed!
