19. Reverse Chengxia Lake

However, when he arrived at the government office in Huazhou, the governor saw the so-called Wu Shaocheng's head full of feces and maggots, and could not help but cover his nose with his sleeves and scolded the officials in Xuanwu Town as nonsense. You are obviously bandits pretending to be envoys.

The officials in the press conference were also anxious. Not only did they present Li Wanrong's press conference, but they also insisted that this was Wu Shaocheng and Dong Chongqi's family's head.

How do I know when the Huazhou Governor spreads his hands?

So the bad guys in the government cleaned their heads.

It was already spring in February, and nearly twenty men and women were covered with feces or mud, placed in the corridor. Even if they tried to clean it, maggots still appeared from the bones, their faces were blurred and the smell was filled with rotten smell.

In the end, the governor of Huazhou was not polite and directly determined that the identities of the group of officials who reported the matter were "doubted" and all went to the jail and reported to the capital urgently.

The matter first came to Jingzhao Yin. Jingzhao Yin, who knew it, reported to him again, waiting for the arbitration of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.

So the subordinate minister Lu Zhi said that the truth and falsehood of this matter were unknown, so he would send people first to ask the governor of Xuanwu, Li Wanrong, and Gao Yue, who was commanding the front line of Runan City, to ask the matter for it.

When the messenger's horse was galloping on two different post roads, Wu Shaocheng's head was still tilted on the piles under the Huazhou Public Hall, letting the wind and sun shine, and several maggots proudly hovered on it, as if declaring sovereignty...

At the same time in Runan City, the official army attacked the camps and forts in Duanji River west of the city.

Five cabin ships lined up. With the sound of drum beats, the boatmen in the bottom cabin sat row by row on high stools, holding logs, shouting, sweating profusely. Under the command of the military academy, the wheels of the ship slapped the water surface, stirring up white waves, driving the high bow, and rushing towards the fortress on the Duanji River embankment.

"Shoot the fire arrow!" In the camp, Huaixi Army general Rao Kuo raised his sword.

Behind the wooden fence, the Cai soldiers looked at the casino ships that were pressing over with great momentum, and pulled the bows in their hands, swishing, hundreds of thousands of arrows dragging the firelight shot out from the fort, and rushed towards the casino with arcs.

But this is completely useless.

Because there were objects called "bamboo fences" erected on all sides of the top floor of the flyship, like an indestructible wall. After the fire arrows came, they were either taken by them or plundered by the Jingnan soldiers behind them with group cards or spears.

With several loud noises, the front of the cassette was pulled, and the cassette suddenly bounced up, and the stone ball was swung up, directly smashing the wooden fence in Huaixi. The stone ball with the remaining power continued to roll in the fence. With the screams, some of the Cai Bing was knocked and fell into the water, while some were crushed to pieces. Rao Kuo himself was immediately clamped by two flying stone balls, and he was beaten into meat pie and died in an instant.

"Fight!" When the cassette approached the Huaixi Camp Fort within about twenty steps, Dingwu, Yining chariot gunman, or Jingnan gunman, holding the divine thunder gun, stood up behind the bamboo fence, and sparks splashed on the dragged twist rope. Rows of muzzles were aimed at the wooden fence that was destroyed by the pole, and then pinched the trigger.

The dull sound of guns exploded, and then the flywheel was drilled into the smoke of gunpowder. The soldiers in the ship shouted, and they flew out the rope hooks, pulled the ship to the fort to approach the camp, and shot Cai Bing with bows, arrows, darts or muskets to kill the rope hooks.

Gao Yue, who was supervising the battle in Tianzhong Mountain, quickly saw that a short battle started in the Duanji River embankment camp: the flyships turned into towers for siege. The soldiers of the officers carried group signs and held long swords, lined up from the deck to climb up the top floor, and then jumped into Cai Bing's camp from here.

In the water gate in the west of the city, several small boats were ordered by Wu Shaoyang to sail out, carrying more than a hundred reinforcements, trying to rescue the camps on the river bank, but were fired by muskets and tiger-crow light cannons on the top of the casket. Under the cannon guns that kept coming out of blue smoke and fire, the small boats in Huaixi were beaten to pieces and were riddled with holes. The Cai soldiers on it were either dead or injured, and they all turned over and fell into the water.

After two hours of fierce battle, the official army completely seized the camp on the Duanji River embankment. Most of the three hundred Cai soldiers stationed inside were killed, and the others attempted to swim and escape back to the city. As a result, they were all shot by muskets and bows. The bodies floated to the water gate of Runan, blocked together, and the bloody smell was stenched.

To the west of the river embankment, Yu De, the governor of the Tang Dynasty, raised his horse whip and ordered the three thousand soldiers under his command to carry iron shovels, take boats, carry firewood and wet bales, and then climb up the river embankment like an ant colony and began to dig hard with iron shovels.

The Duanji River first poured into the Jianshui from several small gaps from a high point, and then the gap became larger and larger, and the water roared, like a dragon with its teeth and claws, pounced into the Jianshui.

The soldiers of Deng Sui of Tang Dynasty dug out five doumen one after another, and the other officials and soldiers standing on the river embankment shouted like thunder. The water level of Runan City Wall, which was originally hidden behind the Duanji River, dropped rapidly. After the Duanji River all leaked into the Lianshui River, a large area of ​​dry riverbed appeared from the river embankment to the city wall, which was like flat ground.

Then the official army threw countless bales of firewood and grass under it, forming a temporary land path.

Cai Fengyuan and Guo Zaizhen, and then let the ships be lined up, lay wooden boards on them, and cultivated water. Four floating bridges were built at Rushui to directly lead to the river embankment. They used iron turrets to dig out a ladder on the embankment, allowing more official soldiers to climb up the bank of Duanji River and began to rely on the camps left by Huaixi to expand them frantically, forming a blockade line that could directly face the attacks in the west of Runan.

Wu Shaoyang was shocked when he climbed the city to see this scene. "Gao Yue defeated the lake cofferdam under the city, and dripped the water away, so he could get close to my city wall." Then he hugged his head and cried, "I, Caizhou, will be destroyed forever..."

Three days later, the officials on the southern front used the same strategy:

The flyship reached the Cai Bing camp in Nanhu and Chaitan with its powerful firepower. Then the official soldiers carried by them used a springboard to jump directly into the camp from the ship, annihilated the Cai Bing and occupied the lake dam. Then Yan Zhen's Wuchang Army and Li Xian's Huainan Town Army also boarded up and opened the lake dam, draining all the lake waters of Nanhu and Chaitan into the Rushui River. Then they laid firewood on it to build a new camp, reaching the south wall of the west city of Runan.

Three days later, the two prime ministers Gao Yue and Du Huangshang visited Tianzhong Mountain again to command the general attack on the west city of Runan.

In the northeast Zicheng, Wu Shaoyang, who was already at the end of his journey, and together with his wife and children, wept and kowtowed to the Huaixi generals who came here, begging everyone to fight to the end.

The generals of Huaixi all said that the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the people in the city were unwilling to follow us anymore. The court has not accepted our surrender so far, let alone awarding the Huaixi royal family to Chushuai. "Caizhou is a building that is about to collapse. Why don't Chushuai stop yourself and offer his head to Gao Yue, perhaps he can be forgiven?"

When Wu Shaoyang heard this, he felt cold. He looked at the group of Huaixi generals holding blades and surrounding him. They were all like jackals. It was not enough to eat Wu Shaocheng, but now he is finally going to eat himself!
Chapter completed!
