Chapter 720 Falling from the Sky

When Zhao Yishi entered the camp, Yi Tusheng's team had already been combined and was just waiting for the news to come out. As soon as Zhao Yishi entered the gate, he saw a large army ready to go. Yi Tusheng stood high on his horse, straightened his back, staring at the starry sky. Zhao Yishi flew in and reported: "Regent, everything is ready, Du Shanhai is no problem, the army can advance at any time." Yi Tusheng said happily: "Thank you for your hard work, I don't know how General Geng Zhongming is now?" Zhao Yishi said: "General Geng Zhongming is worried that Li Tianxing will see the flaws, so there should be no problem staying in the enemy camp as an internal response."

Yi Tusheng turned around and asked Tian Ji: "What time is it now?!" Tian Ji said: "It's the first time, and now it's time to set off to catch up with the second-central attack." Yi Tusheng ordered: "Order the entire army to set off immediately and advance at full speed all the way, and there must be no mistakes."

Tian Ji sent the order loudly, and the army immediately opened out of the gate.

In less than an hour, Yi Tusheng's army had arrived outside the west gate of Jingluwei. On the top of the city, the lights were dim, and you could vaguely see that there were very few soldiers, and you didn't know where Du Shanhai sent him. Yi Tusheng said in a deep voice: "Light a torch, send a signal to the city, and let Du Shanhai open the city gate."

Outside the dark city, thousands of torches suddenly burned, illuminating the fields, and the lights were brightly lit. The soldiers guarding the city immediately responded. A *** shouted, "Go and report to the general, the enemy is coming to attack at night." The city immediately became chaotic. In the chaos, a *** shouted, "Don't panic, it may be a reinforced army, let me see clearly." A scholar's head stretched out from behind the bush and asked loudly, "Who is it?!"

Yi Tusheng was the first to answer: "Is it General Du? We came as promised and asked General Du to open the city gate and let us in." Du Shanhai knew that Yi Tusheng's army had arrived, so he turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Don't panic, it was King Zhang Xianzhong's men, General Li found to help. The people below should open the city gate immediately." As he said that, he ran down the city gate.

A deputy general said in surprise: "It's so dark, General Manager Du still sees it clearly. If the Ming army comes with makeup, our army will be very passive." Du Shanhai said firmly: "I have seen it very clearly. It is indeed the army of King Zhang Xianzhong. You can open the city gate immediately. If anything happens, I will take care of it." The deputy general was still a little hesitant, and the soldiers dared not move. After all, Du Shanhai had just taken over the Ximen, and had no confidants, and had no prestige among the soldiers, and he was not very good at speaking.

Du Shanhai was furious and said, "Don't ask more questions, aren't you afraid of the Shangfang sword in my hand? It delayed the military information and was unpardoned." He raised the Shangfang sword and shook it in front of the deputy general. Since the remaining power of killing Jia Ziyu yesterday was still there, the deputy general dared not say anything anymore, so he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, open the city gate quickly."

"Cruff!" A few loud noises, the city gate wrapped in thick iron sheets, opened from the inside. Du Shanhai waved the torch and signaled that Yi Tusheng could enter the city. Yi Tusheng whispered: "Be careful, be careful, be cautious, and follow me to enter the city." The generals shouted and followed Yi Tusheng toward the city.

"You are Du Shanhai?" Yi Tusheng led 20,000 troops into the city and said to Du Shanhai. Du Shanhai said, "Welcome the king into the city." In order to protect Du Shanhai, Yi Tusheng ordered him to stand beside him on a horse, and then Du Shanhai said to his subordinates: "King Zhang Xianzhong's army is an elite army. Now he wants to take over Ximen's defense, and everyone is withdrawn." The deputy general just now became more and more wrong. Then the torch light carefully looked at Yi Tusheng, and suddenly shouted loudly: "No, he is not Zhang Xianzhong's troops, he is Yi Tusheng, we are fooled."

Yi Tusheng suddenly shouted, "Soldiers, kill me." A bloody storm broke out inside the West Gate. Originally, there were nearly 15,000 troops defending the West Gate, but in order to welcome Yi Tusheng into the city, Du Shanhai used the excuse of too few wooden and rocks on the top of the city to send all the soldiers out to transport wood and stones. At this moment, there were less than 5,000 people coming down, and they were all old, weak and disabled soldiers, exhausted.

At Yi Tusheng's order, the Ming army immediately unfolded the fan. Tian Ji killed the deputy general with a sword, and then commanded the army to climb the city tower from two directions. The enemy troops under the city were quickly eliminated. Zu Dashou received Yi Tusheng's secret code and knew that the vanguard had succeeded, so he led the follow-up troops to enter the city.

Under the interweaving of the firepower of the rifle and the submachine gun, the peasant army fell down one by one, and the rest were all scared and ran along the city wall toward the east gate and the south gate. Yi Tusheng ordered 20,000 rifle soldiers to reach out to chase the city, and also sent Zu Dashou to lead 20,000 people to cut through the city, looking for reinforcements coming after hearing the news. He rushed straight into the direction of Li Tianxing's general's mansion.

In ancient times, the city defense war relied on the city wall. If the city wall lost its effectiveness, the morale of the army would immediately plummet. There were very few troops who could persist in fighting street battles, and most of them would scatter birds and beasts. Although Li Tianxing's team was not an ordinary miscellaneous army, it still collapsed instantly under the pressure of Yitusheng's modern firepower. Inside and outside the city, there were remnants of fleeing soldiers everywhere, and the shouts of killing spread over a hundred miles.

"Report to General Li, Yi Tusheng's army came in from outside the city." A general under Li Tianxing's command in charge of inner city defense, shouted loudly outside Li Tianxing's bedroom. Li Tianxing was sleeping soundly, jumped out of the bed, and took a few steps to open the door, and asked in horror: "What's crazy? Did Yi Tusheng fall from the sky?!" Zhuangsheng gasped and said, "It was not from the sky, but Du Shanhai opened the city gate and put it in. Du Shanhai rebelled."

"Du Shanhai has rebelled?!" Li Tianxing was confused by Du Shanhai's illusion, and it was difficult to believe it for a moment, and asked in surprise. Zhuang Sheng said: "That's right, the Ximen was first broken through. According to the escaped soldiers, Du Shanhai saw Yi Tusheng's army coming, not only did not resist, but instead ordered the city gate to open, and Yi Tusheng's army rushed in. General, run away quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

At the critical moment, Li Tianxing still showed some heroic courage and temperament, and said sternly: "Don't panic, how many troops do you have?" Zhuang Sheng stamped his feet and said: "There are only less than two thousand. Now Yi Tusheng's 100,000 troops have swept the four gates. It is impossible to regain the city with two thousand troops." Li Tianxing didn't have time to wear armor, put on a long robe, hold a sword, jump out of the room, and did not care about his wife, children, and told Zhuang Sheng: "Hurry, let's fight out of the east gate and try to capture as many defeated soldiers along the way. Even if you want to surrender to Zhang Xianzhong, you must have capital, otherwise you will definitely be looked down upon."
