After entering the north gate of Guangyuan City, the 12,000 Song army led by Fang Yong quickly occupied an area of the city as a foothold, and based on this foothold, they engaged in street battles with the Jiaozhi soldiers who wanted to drive them away.

The choice of street fighting by the Jiaozhi people was their biggest mistake, because when it came to street fighting, the proficiency of the Zhenjiang army was definitely higher than theirs.

The Battle of Xiaoguan lasted for more than half a month, and every day for fifteen days was a tragic street battle. The Zhenjiang Army, which had experienced the Battle of Xiaoguan, was experienced and experienced in street fighting.

When Fang Yong led his army into Guangyuan City to fight against the Jiaozhi soldiers, the east gate where Tang Ning was located also achieved some results. The defenders on the city wall were shot by Wang Sunchen with a bow and did not dare to show their heads, and the Song army, using siege rams, completely destroyed the city gate under the city.

Then the Song army outside the city rushed in and began to make contact with the Jiaozhi defenders inside the east gate.

At the same time, the gods in the west are not idle. As the side with the largest number of people, the god sneaked up and directly launched a strong attack.

When the attention of the defenders of the West Gate was all attracted by the changes in the city, Shenqian took the lead in killing Guangyuan City.

The eight bull crossbows kept nailing the crossbow arrows to the city wall of Guangyuan City, and the Song army climbed the thick crossbow arrows all the way to the city wall.

The Jiaozhi defenders of the West Gate were quite tenacious, and after the Song army climbed the city wall, they insisted on holding out for half an hour, which caused a lot of trouble to Shenqian.

The civil strife in Guangyuan City itself, coupled with the successive breaking of the three gates in the east, west and north, has already shown that the general trend of Guangyuan City has gone. It was only a matter of time before it was captured by the Song army.

At this time, there was a very interesting situation, when the people in the city fled for their lives, they all fled to the north gate, because they saw with their own eyes that the Song army at the north gate would not harm themselves.

When the army in the city is defeated and retreats, it will flee through the south gate, which does not seem to have the Song army coming. As a result, before he had gone far, he was shot in front of Lord Yama by the Song army with a crossbow arrow tied to gunpowder.

In the afternoon, after three and a half hours of fierce fighting, Guangyuan City was finally occupied by the Song army. The defenders of the city either surrendered or were captured. A small number of people may have followed them out in the clothes of the common people, but that was not in the scope of Song Jun's consideration for the time being.

During the battle, the Song army found a team of Jiaozhi civilians also helping in the war. After the war, Tang Ning personally met with this man named Ruan Duyun.

He looked to be in his mid-thirties, with a two-pronged mustache. My hair was messy, maybe because I had just been fighting. But what intrigued Downing the most was his eyes.

His eyes were full of indifference, without the slightest hint of emotion. Even if Song Jun kindly helped him take care of the wounds on his body, he was still like that.

"You don't look very happy." Tang Ning asked with interest: "Is it because you betrayed Annanguo?" Or is it something else? ”

"The revenge has not been avenged, how can a certain family be happy?" Ruan Duyun replied lightly.

He can speak Chinese, which still surprised Tang Ning, but the tone is a little strange, which is also something that can't be helped.

In Jiaozhi and even in Southeast Asia, the establishment of all political regimes was basically the result of the southward migration of the Song people. There are not many local people who have established political power. Even if there were, it would be quickly annexed.

Ruan Duyun's eyes kept on the hands on his knees, and he didn't look at Tang Ning.

Tang Ning blinked and asked, "So...... Do you have a grudge against Li Deqian? ”

Ruan Duyun raised his head and looked at Tang Ning, but soon, he withdrew his gaze again.

"There's nothing wrong with the general saying that."

"If that's the case, then our purpose seems to be the same." Tang Ning smiled: "Li Deqian is cruel and violent, we have long wanted to crusade against him, if you are willing to help us, it is naturally the best." ”

"The general said with a smile, Ruan is soft-spoken, but he is just a grass people, how can he help the general?"

Tang Ning said with a smile: "Now that Guangyuan City has just been broken by us, the people in the city are uneasy. The original city guards of Guangyuan City have fled, and no one in the city can restrain the people.

I am willing to give you this task, and you will control the people of Guangyuan City. At the same time, I guarantee that Song Jun will not make any moves that are detrimental to the interests of the people of Guangyuan City, how about it? ”

Downing's proposal is actually very tempting. Ruan Duyun listened to it, and his eyes lit up. Then he asked: "I don't know what the general's mouth means that he will not do anything to harm the interests of the people of Guangyuan City......"

"Rape ~ adultery, kidnapping, burning, killing and looting, all of this our Song Army will not do." Tang Ning said seriously.

Ruan Duyun immediately got up and said respectfully: "If what the general said is true, then Ruan will first thank the people of Guangyuan City for his benevolence!" ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "If you want to thank me, thank me, thank our official family."

If it weren't for the officials asking us to do this, I wouldn't have the heart to play with you here. ”

Ruan Duyun nodded and said, "Lord Song is benevolent, Ruan has already heard of it. Now that it can be classified into the Great Song Dynasty, it is really a great joy for Ruan......"

"Don't say it so early, whether Guangyuan Prefecture will be included in my holy dynasty depends on Li Deqian's meaning." Tang Ning said, standing up: "If there is nothing else, Brother Ruan, please go back."

General Ben still has some affairs to deal with, and he is so busy that it is inconvenient to talk to Brother Ruan anymore. ”

Ruan Duyun nodded and said, "Got it." ”

With that, Ruan Duyun bowed and retreated.

Soon after he left, Shen Qian carried one

A water bladder came in while drinking.

There is also a young man with a little pale face beside him, this is the new judge and bookkeeper who succeeded Zhang Jingming, the junior of Zeng Bu's family, only eighteen this year, before he came out, he had been living a small life of studying hard in Kaifeng.

Zeng Bu asked Tang Ning to take him out this time, which also meant to let him see the world. To be honest, his performance was quite satisfactory to Downing.

From the Battle of Fuliangjiang to the just-concluded Battle of Guangyuan City, he has never made a move to hold back. I think the first time I saw a dead person, I couldn't get out of bed when I vomited.

Looking at the other recruits, the first time they saw the minced meat that had been blown up by gunpowder, they not only had to vomit, but they might also have a psychological impact on the meat in the future.

To sum up, the performance of the younger generation of the Zeng family in front of him made Tang Ning quite satisfied. Over time, his skills were honed. It shouldn't be a big problem to let him serve as a battalion commander in the Zhenjiang Army.

Tang Ning looked at Zeng Jun and said with a smile: "Everything that should be counted has been counted?" ”

"Returning to the general, I have already counted the casualties of our army, and the number of captured and captured enemy troops. As for the number of enemy troops killed and wounded, it will take some time. But God commands...... God Dashao said to let the lowly job hurry up, and the lowly job can only sort out the things at hand and send it to you. Zeng Jun was a little nervous, and after finishing his words, he handed a thick booklet in his hand to Tang Ning.

Tang Ning skimmed his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and looked innocent, Tang Ning rolled his eyes.

"Next time you listen to him, if he urges you again, you will come to me to complain, and I will clean him up for you."

"Huh...... Hehe...... "Zeng Jun didn't know how to answer well, Shenqian was still staring at him." So he could only scratch his head and giggle, which was the best way to respond.

Tang Ning reached out and took the booklet and looked through it for a while.

The Song army at the south gate was led by Xiao Shi, counting the 1,200 people in the Pingxia camp, there were a total of 9,002 when they set off. Today, only 7,800 remain, of whom more than 600 have been injured of varying severity.

The casualties of the West Gate were not small, mainly because the Jiaozhi defenders were too strong, and the other was that Shenqian chose to storm the West Gate. When the gods broke through the west gate, more than 5,000 of the 20,000 people were hung up and 600 were killed.

Rubbing his forehead, Tangning looked down.

Fang Yong's department at the north gate was assisted by the local rebel people in Guangyuan City during the attack, and there were not many casualties. But after entering Guangyuan City, they were the main force in street battles with the Jiaozhi army.

Of the 12,000 men, 1,200 were killed in street fighting, 700 were seriously wounded and unconscious, and 4,000 were slightly wounded.

There weren't a few dead on Downing's side, but most of them were injured. Looking at it this way, there are not many people in the army who look good anymore, and basically everyone is colored.
