Chapter 171: Skillfully Occupy the Rising Sun
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
After making a decision, Liu Xiu immediately made a decision and ordered everyone around him: "Tear off the clothes and armor of the corpse and put the weapons together!" ”
"Yes!"
According to Liu Xiu's order, people took off the clothes and armor of the corpses of the county soldiers, put them on themselves, and then collected the weapons in one place, selected the ones that could be used, and took advantage of them again.
Liu Xiu himself also changed into the military uniforms and armor of the county soldiers, all of which were ready, and he took a group of subordinates and went straight to Chaoyang City.
At this time, the gate of Chaoyang had been closed, and there were many county soldiers standing at the head of the city.
Seeing Liu Xiu and his party covered in blood and running over with each other's support, the county soldiers at the head of the city did not release arrows, and when they reached the city gate, a soldier at the head of the city poked his head out and asked loudly: "What's the matter with you?" ”
"My lord, we were ordered to clear the rebel camp, and we encountered the remnants of the rebels, and after a battle, we five hundred brothers, only a few people remained. Military Waiting ...... The Captain was also killed in battle! ”
Liu Xiu raised his head and shouted at the county soldiers at the head of the city.
The defenders at the head of the city did hear the sound of fighting coming from the rebel camp, but they couldn't see exactly what was going on. Hearing Liu Xiu's words, the county soldiers at the head of the city did not doubt him, and ordered: "Open the city gate immediately!" ”
The county soldiers in the cave of the city gate heard the order, and without saying a word, they worked together to remove the heavy door bolt and slowly open the city gate.
As the city gate opened, Liu Xiu and the others immediately ran into the city.
The county soldiers in the city were all startled when they raised their eyes, and the more than 200 people who came in, without exception, were covered with blood.
A soldier leader walked up to Liu Xiu and saw that the leather armor on his chest was torn, and the military uniform inside was stained with blood, and he asked with concern: "Brother, where are you injured?" ”
Liu Xiu raised his head, bared his teeth and smiled at him, and said casually, "It's okay!" ”
"I see that you are not lightly injured, how can you be okay? Let me see! The soldier touched the leather armor on Liu Xiu's chest and tried to find the wound inside, but although there were many blood stains on the broken place, the strange thing was that there was no wound in the armor.
The soldier was puzzled, and subconsciously said, "This is not right......"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiu's saber suddenly came out of its sheath, and a sword stabbed forward, hitting the chest of the soldier's head.
"Ahh As Liu Xiu made his move, Deng Yu and others started to the guys one after another, and killed the county soldiers around them.
The county soldiers in the city, no matter what, could not have imagined that their own people who ran back to the city turned out to be disguised by the Chungling Army, and the people were defenseless, and they were caught off guard by Liu Xiu and others, and dozens of people had fallen in the blink of an eye.
The soldier at the head of the city was so shocked that he poked his head down and shouted, "Don't fight! It's your own people! It's all my own people......"
As he was shouting, an arrow suddenly flew up from under the city, impartially and struck him in the mouth.
Burst!
Arrows shot through his mouth and poked out of the back of his head.
The soldier didn't say a word, he fell on his back, lay on the ground, and his limbs only hesitated a few times before he didn't move. In less than a quarter of an hour, the county soldiers under the city wall were killed by Liu Xiu and others.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiu took the lead and rushed to the city.
Yi Zhen and Xie Sheng had already taken away the main force of the county soldiers, and the county soldiers who stayed in Chaoyang City were only three or four hundred in total. More than 100 people had been lost under the city walls, and the remaining 200 or so people had all retreated to the city.
Liu Xiu took the lead, carrying the Chixiao Sword that emitted red light, and killed all the way to the city, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the county soldiers at the head of the city.
At this moment, Liu Xiuye has already killed red-eyed, he has been killing from the middle of the city wall, all the way into the city gate, just the county soldiers who fell under his sword alone, there are more than a dozen people.
The leading soldiers have been shot, and the remaining county soldiers have been killed and wounded, and the remaining county soldiers are no longer able to resist, some of them disarmed and surrendered, and the other part fled into the city.
Liu Xiu left Deng Yu, Zhao Ying and more than 100 brothers to guard the city, and he himself brought other brothers into the city.
As soon as he entered the street in the city, Jiu'er didn't know which corner he jumped out of, pointed to the end of the street, and shouted at Liu Xiu: "Lord, they all ran to the county office!" The county government is over there! ”
Under the guidance of Jiu'er, Liu Xiu took his subordinates and went straight to the county office.
The defeated county soldiers had all retreated to the county government at this time, and there were more than 100 officials here. The county soldiers and officials who retreated to the county government had already closed the gate and wanted to make a last resistance.
Liu Xiu asked Gai Yan to lead people and hit the gate of the county office, and he, Zhu You and Fu Jun, led more than 20 strong people, went around to the side of the county office, and jumped over the wall.
As soon as they came in, they were discovered by the officials in the county office, and the two sides had no extra nonsense, and they met and fought together.
Most of the soldiers in Chaoyang County are new recruits, and their combat power is not very good, compared with them, the combat power of the government soldiers is much higher than that of the county soldiers.
Several officials, some holding swords, some holding ring-headed knives, rushed to Liu Xiu's approach, picked up their swords and slashed. Liu Xiu held the sword in both hands, and swung it outward with all his might, ding ding, and several swords that had been slashed were bounced away. Immediately afterward, his body rushed forward, his shoulder hitting the chest of one of the officials, and the sword in his hand was plunged into the opponent's lower abdomen. They both fell to the ground together. The surrounding officials raised their weapons again and slashed at Liu Xiu, who was lying on the corpse of the officials.
Before he had time to draw his sword, Liu Xiu rolled to the side, dodging the sword at the same time, he kicked sideways, screaming and pointed at the hilt of the Chixiao Sword, and the Chixiao Sword inserted in the corpse flew out with a whirlwind, hitting the chest of a servant.
Without waiting for the official to fall to the ground, Liu Xiu stepped forward, and in a moment of walking, he pulled out the Chixiao sword inserted in his chest, returned the sword, and cut down another official who rushed to him to the ground.
It sounds slow, but in fact it is extremely fast, Liu Xiu's series of actions are completed in one go, and it only takes two or three seconds before and after.
Liu Xiu was brave, and the morale of the brothers below was greatly boosted, and people shouted and shouted, using their strength to chop the surrounding officials.
Fifty or sixty officials were killed by Liu Xiu's twenty or so people and retreated again and again, and the corpses that fell to the ground were scattered horizontally and vertically, almost covering a layer.
Liu Xiu and his entourage went from the atrium of the county government to the vestibule, and at this time, the gate of the county government was also knocked open by Gai Yan and others, and the Lingling army outside poured in like a tide.
In the courtyard of the forecourt of the county government, the two sides started another life-and-death fight.
Liu Xiu and the others had no way to retreat, they had already entered the city, and there was no other way to retreat except for killing all the enemies in the city.
This battle, for them, is the final blow to the ship. If you win, you still have a chance to live, and if you lose, you will die.
In this case, Liu Xiu and the others burst out to their maximum potential, and went crazy to slash and kill the surrounding enemies.
The few remaining county soldiers and more than 100 servants could not resist, and after dozens of casualties, the people finally gave up resistance and surrendered all of them. Liu Xiu had these surrendered county soldiers and officials imprisoned, and then he took people to various important facilities in the city, such as granaries, silver warehouses, and material warehouses, which were usually guarded, and these people were also able to do so
Annihilation early, the province left hidden dangers in the city.
After exterminating the officials guarding the silver vault, Liu Xiu asked people to open the door of the silver vault.
They went into the treasury and looked up, and the people had not come to their senses for a long time. The silver treasury of Chaoyang City can be described as rich, and it not only hoards a large number of copper coins, but also a lot of gold ingots.
Zhu You picked up a gold ingot, rubbed it on his body, opened his mouth and bit it, leaving a clear tooth mark on the gold ingot. Zhu You's mouth opened so wide that he turned his head to Liu Xiu and said excitedly: "Lord, all this gold is real!" ”
Liu Xiu, Deng Yu and others couldn't help but glance at him, isn't this nonsense! What is this place? The county silver treasury! How can there be any false gold here?
Zhu You stuffed the gold ingot in his hand into his arms, and said: "Lord, we can't leave this gold to the court, let's take it all away!" ”
"Put it down!" Liu Xiu reprimanded angrily. Although he also wanted to take all the gold away, it was simply impossible!
They only temporarily occupied Chaoyang City, and the main force of Chaoyang County soldiers could fight back at any time, and when that time came, they had to abandon the city and flee, bringing so much gold, could they still run?
Zhu You was reprimanded by Liu Xiu and shrunk his neck, took out the gold ingot he had just put into his arms, and reluctantly put it back in its place. He muttered, "It's okay to take one or two!" ”
Liu Xiu said quietly: "If everyone goes to the battlefield with one or two gold ingots, when they fight against the enemy, they will lose the fighting spirit to fight to the death!" ”
With so much gold on their bodies, who is willing to go to the battlefield and fight hard, people will only want to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible and live a comfortable life in a peaceful place as soon as possible.
That's human nature! But as long as there is a way to live, no one is willing to raise their heads and rebel.
The news that Chaoyang City was captured by the Chungling Army was soon spread by spies to the main force of Chaoyang County.
Yi Zhen and Xie Sheng, who received the report, were dumbfounded, and the two were stunned for a while before they reacted, and Xie Sheng asked urgently: "Where did the Lingling Army come from?" How did they occupy the county seat? ”
"The Chungling army disguised itself as a county soldier, blended into the city, and defended the city...... Li Junhou also died in battle! ”
Yi Zhen and Xie Sheng's heads buzzed, the latter's eyes were red, and he said to Yi Zhen: "Yi County Order, I will lead the army to rescue first, and you will follow!" ”
"Good!" The two of them no longer cared about chasing and killing the main force of the Chungling Army, compared to it, Chaoyang City was undoubtedly much more important.
Liu Xiu's purpose was to attract the main force of the county soldiers back, and then his own side abandoned the city and fled, so that his own situation was safe, and the situation of more than 3,000 displaced people was also safe, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
However, when Xie Sheng led the county soldiers back to Chaoyang City, Liu Xiufang realized that things were far from being as simple as he expected.
The county soldiers commanded by Xie Sheng can be called the elite of the Chaoyang county soldiers, half of them are cavalry and horses, and half of them are elite infantry. Although the number of cavalry under Commander Xie Sheng was not large, only about two hundred cavalry, but even so, the threat to Liu Xiu was too great.
