At this time, the soldiers guarding the city wall came to their senses, and they ran down the city wall one after another to come to support. However, because the seizure of the gate is the success or failure of Guan Jian, so Ling Xiang, Huang Mingxia, Shui Jing, Hong Shuer, Suzaku and other masters are concentrated here, although the number is not much, but the combat effectiveness is quite strong, firmly guarding the city gate, and the defenders can't attack it for a while.

But Ling Xiang knew that he could defend the city cave now, but the number of defenders would continue to increase, and the urgent thing was to open the city gate as soon as possible. So let the others resist the defenders at the entrance of the city cave, wield their long swords, kill into the city cave, rush into the defenders blocking the city gate, and shoot mercilessly, the sword light flashed, the blood light flew, and the other Song soldiers under his leadership were also high-spirited, and finally killed all the defenders blocking the city gate. Ling Xiang immediately ordered the soldiers to remove the bolt and open the city gate.

Yang Yan led the Song army to the moat, and the Song army immediately put the twenty rafts they brought into the water to cross the river. However, each raft was only enough for more than a dozen people, and there were more than 100 Song soldiers who knew how to swim across the river, but most of the Song soldiers could only wait on the bank of the river.

Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru, Shui Yue, and Zhao Cao were the first to cross the river on a raft, and the moat was originally only five or six zhang wide, but they arrived at the opposite bank in a blink of an eye. At this time, the city gate opened, and Yang Yan and Ling Xiang were in the city and outside the city, and they happened to be opposite. The Song troops who had crossed the river passed through the city gate to support the Song army in the city. Another Song army pulled the raft back and crossed the river again.

However, at this time, the movement of the Song army crossing the river alarmed the defenders on the city wall.

"Not good, there are enemies outside the city."

At this time, the more than 200 defenders left on the city wall were all archers. As soon as he found the Song army outside the city, he immediately fired his bow and arrows at the city. Although it was dark night, Ling shot down more than a dozen Song soldiers at once. When the other Song soldiers saw this, they immediately raised their shields to block the arrows. The Song army, which swam across the river, did not have any cover, and was shot dead in the river. Other Song soldiers didn't dare to go into the water. The river can only be crossed by raft. However, under the threat of the defenders' bows and arrows, the speed of the Song army crossing the river suddenly slowed down a lot.

Yang Yan looked at the current situation and said, "This won't work, crossing the river is too slow, and the suspension bridge must be lowered." ”

Ling Xiang said: "If you want to put down the drawbridge, you must attack the city tower. Now we can't do it with our troops. ”

Yang Yan looked up at the suspension bridge that was pulled up, about four zhang high, both ends were connected by egg-thick iron cables, and the winch was on the city tower, and said: "If you can't attack the city tower, then cut the iron cable." This will also allow the suspension bridge to be lowered. ”

Saying that, Yang Yan set aside the "Wind Forest Volcano" to lift his breath, toe a little on the city wall, and flew up obliquely with the help of force, jumped more than two feet high, and then on the suspension bridge board, flew diagonally and rose again, and finally reached the position of the iron cable, used enough strength, waved the knife and cut down, and the blue light formed by the "Wind Forest Volcano" hit the iron cable like a bolt of lightning. Hearing only the sound of "click", the iron cable seemed to be completely unaffected by the knife split, and it was disconnected in the middle of the ground and hung down.

Ling Xiang, Zhao Yueru, Shui Yue, Zhao Cao and others watching below cheered in unison. But Yang Yan's body was exhausted and fell from the sky. Zhao Yueru's heart moved, she saw the place where Yang Yan was whereabout, held the coiling dragon stick with both hands, stretched the head of the stick to Yang Yan's feet, and said, "I'll send you up." "Talking about the capacity of the upward lift.

Yang Yan took advantage of this provocation to rise again, and with a wave of the sword, he cut the iron cable at the other end.

With a "bang", the drawbridge fell, and the Song troops outside the city cheered in unison, stepping on the drawbridge, and rushed into the city from the open city gate. The defenders at the gate were suddenly unable to resist and retreated one after another. The Song army of the brigade immediately entered the city one after another.

After entering the city, the Song army immediately captured the city tower and completely occupied the west gate. Then Yang Yan left Wei Jiao with a thousand people to guard the city gate. The other Song armies were divided into three routes, Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia led the first route, Zhao Cao and Zhu Que led the first route, and the rest were led by Yang Yan, which spread out from three blocks and attacked the Yamen who stayed behind.

At this time, Cheng Mengxi got a loophole, greeted Yang Yan, and rushed to the prefect's yamen from another street with a few of his subordinates. He is very familiar with the streets of Chengdu, although it is late at night, he is not slow at all, turning left and right, and in a moment's effort, he walked to the street where the prefect's yamen is located. It's just that this street is chaotic and crowded with people, and the prefect's yamen is close at hand, but it is difficult to reach.

The few people he brought with him were of great use at this time, helping Cheng Mengxi to separate the crowd, step by step, and finally squeezed to the door of the prefect's yamen.

Cheng Mengxi straightened his clothes and was about to go in, when the guards guarding the door immediately came to stop him, and said, "Stop, what are you doing, what crime should you be guilty of daring to trespass on the prefect's yamen." ”

Cheng Mengxi glared at him, and immediately said in an official tone: "Bastard, blind your dog's eyes, is it so difficult that you don't know my lord?" I'm Cheng Mengxi, the county magistrate of Jintang County! ”

The guard also recognized Cheng Mengxi at this time, and immediately changed his smiling face, and said: "It turned out to be Cheng Zhixian, forgive the villain's clumsy eyes, I didn't recognize you for a while, but this is the middle of the night and the soldiers are panicking, what are you doing here?" ”

Cheng Mengxi snorted and said, "When you are the master, do I have nothing to do to visit the door?" Hurry up and inform your Governor Yang that I have 100,000 urgent things to see him, even if he sleeps, I have to pull him up for me. ”

The guard smiled and said: "Don't worry, our prefect has gotten up, and now he is sitting in the lobby, since you have 100,000 urgent matters, the villain is not like reporting inside, so I will lead you directly to see the prefect." ”

Cheng Mengxi walked into the lobby, not only Yang Fu, the prefect of Chengdu, was sitting, but Han Zhi, the general judge of the mansion, was also there. It turned out that the two of them had fallen asleep, but there was a sudden big commotion in the city, which immediately woke up the two of them, and they didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly dressed up and got up and gathered in the lobby. He sent people out to inquire, but he couldn't find any news. At this time, seeing Cheng Mengxi suddenly coming, Yang Fu was also taken aback, and hurriedly got up and said: "Mengxi, now that the city is so chaotic, why are you here and making such a mess." ”

Cheng Mengxi didn't care about burying them, so he just arched his hand and said, "Two adults, don't hide it, the lower officials are here for the chaos in the city." ”

Yang Fu was stunned for a moment and said, "Mengxi, how do you say this." ”

Only then did Cheng Mengxi tell the story of how he accompanied Yang Yan into the city this time. Then he said: "Lord Yang is to occupy Sichuan, edict Wu Reverse, and capture Jinzhou with Jingjing, and at this moment when Chengdu is also within reach, now the two adults are willing to continue to welcome Wu Rebellious, or help the court to eliminate traitors, or to make a decision immediately." ”

Yang Fu and Han Zhi glanced at each other, Yang Fu slapped the table, and said, "How can I, Yang Fu, be willing to follow the traitor, but the current generals are mostly traitors, how can it be done." Now how can the imperial court send Yang Qincha to preside over the plan, what else do I have to worry about, I should immediately follow the will of the Qincha, is to destroy this rebellion, swear to serve the country to the death, and save the lives of Xishu. ”

Cheng Mengxi was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case, please collect the military horses immediately, and go with me to see Lord Yang and the princess, first take Wu Yi, and then fight Wu Yi together." ”

Yang Pu and Han Zhi nodded, and immediately went separately to prepare, recruiting the guards in the yamen while going to the nearby barracks to transfer troops. Then he went out into the streets to pacify the people.

Although the prefect's yamen is a civilian office, there are more than 300 guards, and the Great Song Dynasty has always been controlled by civilian officials. In addition, Yang Fu served as the prefect of Chengdu for five or six years, and he was quite honest and fair as an official, and he also had a lot of prestige in Chengdu, so it took him more than half an hour, even the messenger and the squad leader, and he gathered more than 2,300 people.

Yang Fu, Han Zhi, and Cheng Mengxi brought the recruited people and horses out of the yamen together to find Yang Yan.

Yang Yan led his men and horses all the way to attack the Yamen of the Garrison Division. After walking not far, he was confronted by the army left behind. Some people pointed out for Yang Yan that the commander led by the defenders was Wu Yan. And beside him, there was also a monk wearing a big red robe, Shui Yue and Shui Jing told Yang Yan that this monk was An Ze, the national teacher of the Jin Kingdom.

It turned out that after An Ze met Wan Xiansheng on the road, he never went far, secretly observing the movements of Yang Yan's army. Seeing that Yang Yan had captured Jinzhou for a few days, he immediately led the army out of the city and headed to the southwest, An Ze also felt very strange, followed Yang Yan's army for a few days, and finally determined that Yang Yan's target was Chengdu. An Ze couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly sent a disciple to report the news to Wu Xi.

At this time, Wu Xi was leading the army to attack Jinzhou, and after receiving the report, he was also surprised, Chengdu is the center of Sichuan, and it is also the place where the money and food are located, and the families of the soldiers must not be lost. Although Wu Xi was stationed in Chengdu, Wu Xi did not dare to be careless, and sent someone to fly to Wu Xi on a fast horse, asking him to strengthen the guards in Chengdu, and at the same time asked An Ze and his party to rush to Chengdu immediately to help Wu Xi. On the one hand, he sent his subordinate general Fang Daxun to lead 10,000 horses to support Chengdu. He couldn't care about continuing to attack Jinzhou, so he didn't move for the time being, waiting for news from Chengdu. At this time, Wu Xi was a little convinced, the legend was true, and this Yang Yan's use of troops was really unpredictable.

However, because the departure was several days later than Yang Yan, Wu Xi in Chengdu only received Wu Xi's news during the day today, and welcomed An Ze and his party of 20 people to Chengdu. Wu Yu didn't dare to be sloppy, so he rearranged and strengthened the garrison overnight. But he didn't expect that Yang Yan would sneak into Chengdu in advance. Although the city defense was doubled, the garrison inside the city was very lax.
