At this moment, a soldier ran up to Zhong Ziang out of breath and stammered, "King...... Great King, Great ...... The big thing was bad, and the Song army broke through the north gate. ”

Zhong Ziang was taken aback, Song Jun broke the door? It's impossible. Isn't the Song army not planning to officially attack the city today? Could it be that in addition to Lin Yongxiang and a few others, someone betrayed him and opened the city gate for the Song army?

In fact, no one really betrayed Zhong Ziang. From the morning onwards, the Song army still used long-range weapons to suppress the Manichaean army as it did yesterday. And the soldiers of the Manichaean army did not bother to fight back, and they all hid under the battlements and behind the pillars. There was really nowhere to hide, so I had to flee to the city. Therefore, the casualties of the Manichaean army today were not large, and only more than 300 people died in the morning. At noon, the soldiers chatted while eating, and they all said that there was no need to go out to carry supplies to defend the city here, and it was really good to arrive. Many people have also begun to take a nap and take a nap.

I don't know who suddenly screamed: "The Song army is here, the Song army is here."

The Manichaean soldiers came to their senses at this time, and at some point, the crossbows, bows, arrows, and cannons of the Song army all stopped. I saw that under the city, countless Song troops carrying ladders surrounded by more than a dozen tall tower-like vehicles, approaching the city wall of Guizhou. The nearest was less than ten paces from the wall.

The defenders on the city walls were in great confusion and hurriedly returned to their positions to defend. But it was too late to think that the Song army's tower car leaned against the side of the city wall with the warp, and as soon as the flap fell, the Song army rushed up the city wall from the tower car like a wolf and a tiger. Although the Manichaean soldiers resisted, the number of soldiers defending the city was too small to be able to defend it, and the Song army rushed up the city wall through tower carts and ladders to support. Slash the remaining Manichaean army on the walls.

Then the Song army's collision also crashed into the gate of Guizhou City, and the Song army, which had been waiting under the city for a long time, immediately poured into the city like a tide, and the Manichaean army defending the city was even more unable to resist and had to retreat one after another. The Song army easily captured the north gate of Guizhou City.

Yang Yan waved his hand lightly and said to the generals around him, "What do you think?" I said that I changed the plan to break the city today, and I was not wrong. Now let's go into the city. ”

Wu Xidao, who was beside him, said: "Marshal, how did you conclude that you can break the city today." ”

Yang Yan said as he walked: "Wu Tongzhi, in fact, what you said yesterday is very right, with the ability of Lin Yongxiang and a few of them, it is impossible to open the gate of Guizhou for us." Actually, I never counted on them. ”

Wu Xidao: "Then why did the commander make an agreement with them to officially attack the city in three days?" But it was changed to break through Guizhou City today. ”

Yang Yan smiled and said, "Commander Wu, don't you think it's too easy for that Lin Qian to come out of Guizhou City twice or three times to find us?" If it was a Dharma king or something, it would be reasonable, but Lin Yongxiang's status in Manichaeism is not high, so it is too unreasonable to be able to send people out of the city at will like this? Zhong Ziang will not be so incompetent. Therefore, I suspect that there must be something wrong here, one may be that Zhong Ziang deliberately sent it out to test us, and the other is that Zhong Ziang wanted to arrest a person with all the dirty tools before letting him out of the city. That's why I deliberately said that it would be three days before the official siege of the city, no matter which possibility it is, Zhong Ziang will know. ”

Wu Xi suddenly realized and said: "So the commander calculated that Zhong Ziang knew that we would officially attack the city in three days, and we would definitely be lax in defense today, so that we would have a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Yang Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's not all, who can prepare everything." However, as the saying goes, the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, if they defend tightly today, then we will still fight as yesterday, if their defense is lax, then we will officially attack the city, in short, according to the specific situation on the battlefield. ”

Wu Xi nodded, with a look of admiration on his face, at first when he followed Yang Yan to Guangnan, he saw that Yang Yan was still young, and he was still a little disapproving. Later, Yang Yan refused to fight, in fact, Wu Xi was also quite dissatisfied with Yang Yan in his heart, but he was Yang Yizhong who pulled it up and was always grateful to Yang Yizhong, so among the generals, he still always supported Yang Yan's behavior. However, only after the Song army sent troops, the successive battles, especially the battle of Xunjiang, under the almost magical command of Yang Yan, the Song army won more with less, and won a complete victory, and even Wu Xi also made a lot of contributions, which made Wu Xi's attitude towards Yang Yan change greatly, and he admired it to the ground.

After entering the city, the Song army completely controlled the north gate with the scriptures, and Yang Yan immediately ordered the Song army: on the one hand, hold the north gate, and on the other hand, form a formation and prepare for street fighting.

As soon as the order was passed, the Song army immediately quickly reorganized the formation of the street battle, all of which were protected by shield bearers in front, spearmen and school knife men in the flanks and back, and crossbowmen at the end, and at the same time Yang Yan ordered some archers to climb the roof and seize the advantageous terrain. And considering that there were many light fighters in the Manichaean army, another soldier was sent to climb the roof to protect the archers. Then Yang Yan divided the Song army into five routes, attacking the Manichaean temple from five different streets.

This Zhong Ziang ordered Zhong Zhenxian to escort the supplies out of the city from the south gate first, but more than 800 vehicles could not be completed in a while, so Zhong Ziang set up a simple defense line in front of the temple to resist the Song army and buy a little time for Zhong Zhenxian to transport the materials.

Yang Yan, Wu Xihe, Ling Xiang, Huang Mingxia, Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping and others led a group of Song troops to attack the Manichaean temple from the middle of the street. This street runs through the north and south gates of Guizhou City, and it is also the widest street in Guizhou City, with more than ten steps wide, and the Manichaean temple is located in the middle of the street, the position of the south. I saw that the Song army was lined up in a neat formation, with five or six people forming a team, and each team cooperated with each other to kill the Manichaean army.

Because the Manichaean army was ill-prepared and rushed to fight, it had no resistance in the streets, and as soon as the two armies engaged, they immediately suffered numerous casualties, which was not the opponent of the Song army at all. He was killed and retreated, until he reached the vicinity of the temple.
