Chapter 1673 1349. Occupy Tangzhou
Ge Shiheng showed surprise and confusion in the crowd.
He did not expect Zhang Liangdong to make such a choice.
He did not have many opportunities to deal with this Tangzhou parent official, but this does not mean that he did not know Zhang Liangdong.
Zhang Liangdong is a cunning person and has some knowledge. He is also a kind of golden style as an official. Even though Tangzhou is not rich, he tried every means to exploit the people's wealth after he took office.
It was really unexpected that such a person had the determination to die righteously.
Most of the soldiers present just responded weakly.
With the reinforcing in the distance, they actually didn't have much intention to resist anymore.
But these days, Shangguan Fa's words are still useful. Zhang Liangdong's bold statement made many of them stop surrendering.
On the other side of Chunhe Street, the soldiers of the Xiangyang Prefecture garrison also heard Zhang Liangdong's shouts.
A general hurriedly ran towards the command post.
Not long after, the command post of the Xiangyang Prefecture Garage Army.
Tan Siyuan gently pressed his fingers against the desk table, "Why did Zhang Liangdong really say that? Does he still have such courage?"
Although there was a bit suspicious in his eyes, Tan Siyuan still admired Zhang Liangdong in his words.
Under such a disadvantage, it is a rare official with a backbone to encourage the soldiers to fight to the death.
It's late at night.
The news that He Lima, who had fled at the battle, was killed on the spot also spread among the Tangzhou defenders.
This made the army also talk.
The determination of the governor Zhang Liangdong to resist the Song army surprised countless people. No one expected that the governor was even willing to kill his left arm and right arm and friends who had been with him for many years.
I don’t know how many people changed their views on Zhang Liangdong. Those soldiers who didn’t know Zhang Liangdong’s true behavior even more admired Zhang Liangdong.
These days, people who die are often unrestrained and unaware of the current affairs. But those who are admirable are often such people.
The next day it was a little brighter.
Chunhe Street north and south.
The soldiers on both sides who were confronted all night were the most exhausting time.
However, both sides no longer remain silent.
Some soldiers used baskets to carry food such as dry food to distribute it to soldiers who were still at the forefront.
Immediately, a soldier came up to defend.
It was already good, but the soldiers on both sides were just orderly defending. Just as the hour arrived, there was a sudden shout of killing from the garrison of Xiangyang Prefecture.
A soldier holding a horn suddenly blew the charge horn.
Many soldiers who were still defending the war rushed towards the Yuan army from the south of Chunhe Street with the Shenlong guns.
Almost at the same time, the grenade launcher behind the frontier of the Song army also roared and shaking.
This made Yuan Jun a little confused.
Some soldiers were holding dry food in their hands, but before they could eat it, they were bombed by shells and flew out with people and dry food.
The war started again.
The Yuan army, who was on the standup for defense, was undoubtedly caught off guard.
Last night, Tan Siyuan said that it was Siyu that he would attack and gave them enough time to consider whether to surrender. No one thought that the generals of the Song army would even use such tricks.
But this trick is really working now.
Although the generals in the Yuan army quickly shouted and hurriedly led the soldiers to resist. At this time, the soldiers of the Xiangyang Prefecture's garrison army seemed to have rushed through Chunhe Street.
Thunders were thrown away in the air.
The Xiangyang Prefecture Garage Army took the initiative, and in a short period of time, the morale completely suppressed the Yuan army.
The fourth regiment and the soldiers in the 11th regiment formed sharp swords and rushed to the north of Chunhe Street.
There were also soldiers behind.
After less than two quarters of an hour of fighting, as the Fourth Regiment and the Eleventh Regiment were more and more soldiers, the Yuan army's defense line could not be stopped and was broken.
The Yuan army stationed at Chunhejiekou had to shrink towards Siyang and Siyin streets.
At this time, the commander Ge and commander He under Tan Siyuan were already leading their troops toward Siyang and Siyin streets.
The four vitality groups have a sound system of nearly 4,000. Faced with the Tangzhou garrison, which was only 2,000 left, there were too many ways to gain the upper hand.
Scouts kept running to Zhang Liangdong's command post.
All the bad news is brought.
Frontline soldiers retreat.
The Song army was unstoppable.
The Song army surrounded Siyin and Siyang streets, and there was a momentum of encirclement.
Zhang Liangdong sat alone in the command post. No matter what the scout came to report, he just waved his hand and said nothing.
Hearing the news that the Song army was in siege, he suddenly stood up, tidied up his official robe, and walked outside.
Afterwards, Zhang Liangdong only led more than a dozen people to the command post to Chunhe Street.
Now Chunhejiekou has been captured by the soldiers of the Xiangyang Prefecture garrison.
Zhang Liangdong was outdated from the streets of Siyang. Although there were chaos, many people still noticed him.
Seeing Zhang Liangdong walking towards Chunhe Street with a solemn expression, these Tangzhou defenders all showed doubts.
"Master of the State!"
Someone shouted, reminding Zhang Liangdong that the front was dangerous. Zhang Liangdong did not respond at all, but just walked straight towards Chunhe Street intersection.
Soon, we reached the forefront of the war between the two armies.
Bullets whizzed past the air.
Zhang Liangdong, who was almost old, pulled his neck and shouted: "I am Zhang Liangdong, the governor of Tangzhou, I dare to ask where the Song army is!"
He didn't practice martial arts, and shouted like this, which made his face turn red.
Only his shout, and his official robe, made the front-line gunshots suddenly stop.
When the soldiers of the Xiangyang Prefecture garrison saw him, they looked suspicious.
A general realized something and ordered the fire to stop.
Soon, Tan Siyuan, who received the news, also appeared at the forefront of the two armies' firefighting.
He looked at Zhang Liangdong and said, "I am the deputy commander of the Xiangyang Prefecture Garage Army. I wonder what advice Zhang Zhizhou has?"
Zhang Liangdong raised his hand, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and looked directly at Tan Siyuan, "If our army surrenders, I wonder if Deputy Commander Tan dares to guarantee that we will treat our soldiers well?"
Many of the soldiers behind him showed signs of emotion.
The magistrate was still thinking about them at this time.
I just don’t know what they would think if they knew that Zhang Liangdong was trying hard to create a glorious image of righteousness and integrity for themselves.
However, even Tan Siyuan was deceived by Zhang Liangdong. Although he knew Zhang Liangdong's name, he did not know Zhang Liangdong's nature after all.
Zhang Liangdong said such words at this time, which really made him a little impressed.
His eyes also became gentle, and he said, "I will do what I say! As long as you surrender, I will not make things difficult for you! Those who want to go home can go home, those who want to join the army can also sign up to be my soldiers in the Song Dynasty!"
"Okay!" Zhang Liangdong said loudly.
Then he looked back at the Yuan army soldiers and said, "Brothers, Deputy Commander Tan has promised not to make things difficult for you. Now that things have come to this, you all give up your weapons and surrender..."
After saying that, he pulled out his sword from his waist and crossed his neck.
He raised his head and shouted, "Zhang Liangdong is ashamed of the Emperor! Only after death can he repay the emperor's kindness!"
"grown ups!"
Before he could completely finish his words, a personal guard next to him reacted and quickly took Zhang Liangdong's sword away and fell to the ground, "Sir!"
The guards around them all fell to their knees on the ground.
Zhang Liangdong's actions just now moved them.
More and more Yuan army soldiers were kneeling down and shouting.
There were also many people who were confused. The magistrate in front of them was actually a little different from the magistrate they heard and saw.
For a time, Zhang Liangdong became the most watched person present.
Tan Siyuan was also moved and said, "Mr. Zhang has such a strong character, which is admirable! Why should Lord Zhang be so stubborn? Then what is worthy of your loyalty to Emperor Yuan?"
Zhang Liangdong burst into tears, "Since I am a Yuan minister, I should serve the country with my own power and die before I die."
Tan Siyuan sighed softly and waved to the back, "Mr. Zhang, please!"
A garrison soldiers of Xiangyang Prefecture ran forward and took Zhang Liangdong down.
The Yuan army looked at it and did not resist.
When Zhang Liangdong was taken away in front of everyone, the Yuan army also put down the Shenlong gun and chose to surrender.
The battle in Tangzhou finally came to an end.
In addition to the soldiers who fell, more than 1,500 Yuan troops remained in Tangzhou City, and all chose to surrender.
Tan Siyuan led the Xiangyang Prefecture garrison to occupy all parts of the city and take over the city defense.
Zhang Liangdong was invited to the government office to be named a guest of honor.
There was a pigeon, and the scout left the city and headed towards Xiangyang Prefecture.
Chapter completed!
