Chapter 1033 Moling City is broken
,,,,,,,,,,,,
At the fifth o'clock in the morning, Liu Jing was awakened by the guards while sleeping, "Your Highness, you have something important to report."
The lights in the big tent lit up, Liu Jing got up and put on a piece of clothing, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There is news sent in Moling County, and the person coming is Cheng Pu's Cheng Consultant."
"Take him to the side tent and wait!"
Liu Jing and Cheng Pu had long been in contact, and the crucial distribution map of the Jiangdong army was obtained from Cheng Pu, so that the Han army could send troops accurately and sweep Jingkou and Wujun as quickly as possible. Of course, this matter was very concealed, and most people did not know that Cheng Pu had surrendered to the Han army secretly.
Liu Jing washed up a little and walked quickly towards the side tent. He walked into the big tent. Cheng Zi, who was waiting in the tent, quickly stood up and saluted, "Small people meet His Highness the King of Han!"
"Let Cheng Gong wait for a long time, please sit down!"
Liu Jing knew Cheng Zi. He asked Cheng Zi to sit down and asked his personal soldiers to have tea. He knew that Cheng Zi would inevitably have important things to come when the fifth update, but he needed to calm down and calm down Cheng Zi. Once he was anxious, he would easily make wrong decisions.
Cheng Zi took a sip of tea, and he slowly calmed down and realized that he should not talk about Jiang Qin first. In this matter, the importance of his father must be shown, otherwise the Cheng family would be just a memoir. He secretly glad that he did not report urgently.
Cheng Zi sorted out his thoughts and said: "Moling is about to break out, and my father is very worried that street fighting will break out and affect the people of Moling. I hope that Your Highness can have a complete solution to protect the people of Moling."
"General Cheng is admirable for the people of Moling, but the war cannot be continued, otherwise the Jiangdong Army will even kidnap the people of Moling to deal with the Han army. We will try our best to capture Moling City with thunder tactics to minimize civilian casualties."
Liu Jing's answer was also understated. He knew that Cheng Zi was so anxious that he would never be as simple as expressing his father's concerns about civilian casualties. He would inevitably have more important information.
Cheng Zi felt that Liu Jing's tone was cold. He knew that he could not delay any longer, so he had to continue, "I am so anxious to see Your Highness because my father has successfully said that he had rebelled against Deputy General Jiang Qin, and General Jiang is willing to cooperate with the Han army to seize the city."
This was a bit interesting, Liu Jing asked with a smile: "I wonder how Jiang Qin is going to cooperate with the Han army?"
"General Jiang has two thousand subordinates. He has turned against Zhou Tai. He has pulled his army to Xicheng to garrison. At the moment, General Jiang will open the Xicheng Gate to welcome the Han army out of the city."
Liu Jing walked a few steps behind his hands, and he nodded and said, "Mr. Cheng went back and told General Jiang that I was willing to accept his surrender. At the moment of Mao, the Han army general appeared outside the west city on time."
Cheng Zi was overjoyed and gave a deep bow to Liu Jing. Liu Jing ordered the guards to send him back. At this time, it was less than half an hour before Mao Shi. Time was very urgent. Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Let Gan Ning and Wei Yan come to see me!"
.........
The atmosphere in Moling City suddenly became tense. Jiang Qin accepted Cheng Pu's persuasion and decided to offer Moling City to surrender to the Han army. He pulled two thousand subordinates to Xicheng and controlled the Xicheng Gate.
At this time, Zhou Tai also received news that Jiang Qin had no choice but to fight, which made Zhou Tai furious. He led a thousand troops to Xicheng.
Before dawn, the east sky had turned white, and the thick night sky gradually faded. A hint of blue appeared in the cold air. In front of the Xicheng Gate, murderous intent was everywhere. Jiang Qin led two thousand soldiers to lay bows and arrows on the city wall, confronting Zhou Tai's thousands of troops.
"Dong Yi, everyone is serving the Wu Hou, why bother so stingy? If you have any dissatisfaction, we can talk about it. Don't have internal strife!"
Zhou Tai was also worried that Jiang Qin would open the city gate and surrender to the Han army. He tried his best to stabilize Jiang Qin and deceive Jiang Qin down the city. Jiang Qin naturally would not tell the truth. He shouted: "Shut up, it's too late to say anything now. You kill my subordinates. This hatred is irreconcilable. I want to go to Wuhou to sue you."
Zhou Tai secretly called something wrong. He was the confidant of Wu Hou. What was the point of telling him? I'm afraid he was going to surrender to the Han army. He deliberately held him back. Zhou Tai was anxious and secretly ordered the left and right teeth to say, "Speedly transfer the defenders of the North City and the South City to launch an attack from the top of the city. I'll respond below!"
The city gate and suspension bridge were controlled by Jiang Qin. The corridor on the upper city was narrow and it was difficult to capture the city from the corridor. The best way was to launch an attack from both sides of the city to create conditions for his army to climb the city. Zhou Tai was anxious when he saw that it was almost dawn, so he decided to seize the Xicheng immediately.
Seeing that Zhou Tai had no response, Jiang Qin knew that he was preparing to attack. He couldn't help but feel anxious and looked out of the city from time to time. At this time, there was still one quarter of an hour before the time he and the Han army agreed upon.
At this moment, there were suddenly shouts of killing from both sides of the north and south, and fierce fighting seemed to have occurred. Soldiers rushed to report: "Report to General, the Nancheng Guards and the Beicheng Guards came from the city at the same time. The brothers were not prepared enough, and they suffered heavy casualties!"
Jiang Qin was furious and ordered: "Hold on me, quickly open the city gate, and put down the suspension bridge!"
The city gate hub in the city tower was pulled by dozens of soldiers, the suspension bridge was creaking and the heavy city gate slowly opened. Zhou Tai saw it from afar, and was very anxious. He waved the sword and shouted: "Roar up and close the city gate!"
Thousands of troops burst out with shouts and rushed towards the city gate together. Arrows on the top of the city were like rain, and dense arrows shot towards the soldiers in Jiangdong. Large groups of soldiers were caught in arrows and fell to the ground. The screams were heard, and the soldiers stopped and retreated.
Zhou Tai was furious and urged his horse to rush forward, waved his spear and called the arrows. The soldiers behind him followed him forward. Although the arrows were like raindrops, countless casualties were killed and injured by the rushing soldiers, under the inspiration of the main general Zhou Tai, the black soldiers of Jiangdong rushed to the west city.
Some soldiers pushed the city gates to close, and more than a thousand other soldiers rushed towards the city head along the corridors on both sides. At this time, fierce battles were in full swing on the city head. Both sides fought against each other in the same room, and the fierce battle was extremely fierce. There were corpses and broken limbs everywhere, and blood stained the city head red.
Jiang Qin's subordinates were weak, and they were suppressed tightly, with heavy casualties, and their situation became increasingly unfavorable. At this moment, a faint muffled sound suddenly came from the south, 'Room!' It seemed as if thunder was rolled up in the sky. Zhou Tai was stunned and suddenly turned around and looked south. He saw a soldier running from afar and shouting: "General, it's not good!"
.........
At this time, outside the southern city, twenty-step giant trenchers lined up in a row, and huge rocks weighing pounds rose into the air and smashed violently towards the city wall. The dilapidated city walls of Moling County could not withstand the impact of huge rocks and collapsed one after another. With the first round of giant rock attacks, the city wall collapsed, revealing a gap of 1,000 feet wide.
The defenders on the top of the city rushed to Xicheng to participate in the rebellion of encirclement and suppression of Jiang Qin. The remaining defenders were only left, and they were commanded by a military marquis. Seeing that the Han army was in a fierce offensive and the city wall had collapsed, they knew that the city could not be saved. Before the military marquis could order, the soldiers of Jiangdong rushed down to the city to flee.
At this time, the second round of trenchers was launched, and twenty huge rocks rose into the air and roared towards the city. The dilapidated city wall was like tofu. Under the violent impact of the huge rocks, the mud bricks were all turned into powder. With a "boom!", the half-mile-long city wall collapsed and dust rose up.
Liu Jing, who was watching the battle in the distance, ordered: "Stop the attack and the army enters the city!"
‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The Han army’s attack drum sounded, and the soldiers of the Wanhan army burst into shouts and shouted at the county town like a tide. Gan Ning took the lead and took the lead in the county town.
Zhou Tai, who was fighting fiercely in the west city, had his face turned pale. The Han army had launched a large-scale attack from the south city, while the Jiangdong army was in an internal strife. How could Moling City still be defended?
At this time, there were also shouts of killing outside the city, and another Han army came from outside the west city. The huge siege ram was violently hitting the city gate. Several Jiangdong soldiers held the city gate from inside and fought against the Han army's siege.
Zhou Tai was already in a state of confusion. He didn't know what to do. At this moment, a large group of Han soldiers suddenly appeared on the street ahead. Under the leadership of General Gan Ning, they rushed towards the west gate. Gan Ning's mission was to block the Jiangdong Army at the west gate, so that street battles only took place in the west gate area, and that street battles would never be expanded to the whole city.
"General, retreat quickly from the north gate!" a tooth general shouted to Zhou Tai.
At this time, blood surged into Zhou Tai's heart. Today was when he died in the battlefield. He shouted, "Care with me!"
He led several soldiers to fight against the Han army. Twenty thousand Han soldiers came from all directions and surrounded several Jiangdong soldiers from the front.
With a loud bang, the Ximen was knocked open by the siege ram. Thousands of Han soldiers rushed into Xicheng under the leadership of General Wei Yan. The army rushed like a tide and instantly swallowed up the Jiangdong soldiers.
.........
The war in Moling City ended in a quarter of an hour. General Zhou Tai and the soldiers of Jiangdong were all killed, while the rest of Jiangdong either fled from the North City or surrendered to the Han army. The losses in Moling City were limited to dozens of houses and shops near the Xicheng Gate, and there were no casualties among ordinary people. When the internal strife broke out, most of the ordinary people living near the Xicheng Gate hid in the cellar to take refuge.
Liu Jing entered Moling City under the escort of thousands of cavalry. When he saw Zhuge Jin and his rescued wife, he bowed to him from afar. Liu Jing nodded to him with a smile.
At this time, Cheng Zi brought Jiang Qin to the greeting. Jiang Qin stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Jiangdong general Jiang Qin pays homage to His Highness the King of Han!"
Liu Jing turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and helped Jiang Qin up, and said with a smile: "As early as the Battle of Chaisang, I hope that General Jiang would be able to serve one day, but I didn't expect that this day would have been waiting for ten years."
Jiang Qin was ashamed, "Let Your Highness wait for a long time!"
When everyone heard his interesting words, they all laughed. At this time, Jiang Qin said again: "Mo Jiang and Zhou Tai were fellow villagers. They had a deep friendship before, but yesterday they turned against each other and became enemies. However, the enemy was to die. His greatest wish during his lifetime was to bury him with his mother after death. He begged His Highness to give his body to Mo Jiang, and Mo Jiang would send him back to his hometown for burial."
Liu Jing nodded, "General Jiang is so important to me, how can I not fulfill my old love? General Jiang can buried him with great burial."
Jiang Qin choked up his voice, "Thank you for your fulfillment!"
Liu Jing patted his shoulder and ordered the guard to take him down. Liu Jing looked at the hazy sky again, and then said to Gan Ning and Wei Yanling: "You can give the list to safeguard the people and distribute relief food. Those who dare to disturb the people will be killed immediately!"
