Chapter 187: Breaking the City 2
As soon as the cannon sounded, there were shouts of killing at the east gate, south gate, and north gate at the same time, and there was a fire head popping out near the south gate, it should be Geng Zhongming and others who adopted his strategy to set fire to the south gate to attract the attention of the defenders, and then open the east gate. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Nan smiled bitterly: "I came up with my own plan, but I was trapped in the city, cocooning myself!" ”
Half an hour later, defenders gathered at the south gate from different directions, and the houses were illuminated by a long line of torches, and the soldiers could be seen running around, mixed with the sound of officers shouting orders.
Bai Xiaoxian approached Xia Nan, forgot about the defense of men and women for a while, grabbed his hand tightly, and asked, "Did the rebels really enter the city?" If we hide on the rooftops, will we escape the poisonous hands of the rebels? ”
I'm not sure in the summer, but it's safer on the roof than on the street. He comforted: "As long as it's not a large group of rebels, don't be afraid, a few scattered soldiers, your master will beat them in a few moves." ”
After the reinforced defenders arrived at the south gate, the fire at the south gate was extinguished a lot, and the fire weakened, and after a while, the shouting and killing sound at the north gate gradually became smaller, but the east gate was still continuing, obviously there was a stalemate, and the success or failure of the rebels and Geng Zhongming's plan was in this move.
Xia Nan knew that the wheel of history could not be reversed, and the destruction of Dengzhou City was an inevitable result, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart, what if because of the arrival of his butterfly, history changed?
However, things often go not as people want. About an hour later, the east gate suddenly burst into flames, bursting out with a earth-shattering sound of killing, listening to the sound you know that there is a new force plus people to fight for the city gate, and there are quite a few.
Xia Nan lamented in his heart, the time to come has finally come, and the rebels have entered the city!
After several hours of fighting, the sky brightened, and the sound of shouting and killing in Dengzhou City was everywhere, puffs of black smoke fluttered over the city, and the streets and alleys were filled with the cries of the city's citizens, and groups of rebels entered the city from the east gate and poured into the city.
Li Jiucheng, whose eyes were bloodshot, stood on the tower of the East Gate City, looking at the scene in front of him with a cruel smile, surrounded by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others. Geng Zhongming joined him after opening the east gate. At this moment, the east gate has been controlled by the rebels, Li Yingyuan's thousand general banner is also raised at the south gate, a large number of Liao soldiers in the city have rebelled, and the main barracks have been broken up under the attack of several times the Liao soldiers, and some have surrendered, Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Ke have gone in great power.
Geng Zhongming laughed and said: "General Li is not only invincible in battle, but even his strategy is so good, and Jingran really captured Dengzhou." Our Liao people have been oppressed for a long time, people's minds have changed, and the right battalion of the pacesetters is also on the verge of surrendering, and they will turn around and go to the main barracks, and dealing with Zhang Keda's southern soldiers is just like chopping melons and vegetables. ”
Kong Youde is not so optimistic, among these people, he is relatively calm, and generally wants to seek a safe place, he reminded Li Jiucheng: "Jiucheng, the city is broken, but we don't want to be a Tartar, grab a handful and go back to our hometown, who will take care of this city in the future, how to deal with Sun Junmen and Zhang Keda, and the water city in the north, whether we will fight it directly, or stay to talk about Zhao'an, we still have to get an idea earlier." ”
Li Jiucheng sneered: "Shuicheng must be defeated no matter what, but for now, control the city first." Then it was to catch Sun Yuanhua, let him take out the governor of the guard, and let the prefectures and counties of Denglai transport money and grain to the city. ”
Although he has rebelled now, he has little confidence in how to control such a large area, and over the years, the noble and military lowly have also made him somewhat inferior, and he then said: "You all know the brothers of Dongjiang, I am afraid that only Mao Shuai can make them all obey, whether it is you or me, it is okay to take them to rob the house, but if you want to be called the king and the prince, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." If Sun Yuanhua is willing, let him be the nominal leader, help us manage the territory near Dengzhou, we will manage all the soldiers, and we are not afraid of what he can do. ”
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming also agreed for the time being, but Kong Youde was obviously not optimistic about the transfer of money and grain, and the states of Denglai should know that the rebels were besieging the city, and now they suddenly wanted to transfer money and grain by relying on a big seal for defense, which was too whimsical. He thought for a while and said: "These locals in the city, we can't kill them all, Lord Sun is good to our Liao people, or we will make him the king, and use his brand to conquer Fushan, Ninghai, and Qixia." ”
Li Jiucheng laughed at Kong Youde and said: "Brother Kong, this is a safe policy, we will have more ideas in the future, our brothers will share the wealth of Dengzhou City." The most urgent thing today is to completely control Dengzhou City! ”
Geng Zhongming looked around, the army that entered the city was getting more and more scattered, and most of the people who entered the city were bandits and bandits who had taken refuge in Li Jiucheng in Shandong, and there were also thousands of captured strong men, these people were slowly turning into ruffians, and many people left the queue without authorization as soon as they entered the city, smashed open the doors of people on the side of the road, rushed in and began to loot. He was a little embarrassed and said: "General Li, look at the city, our people are in chaos, and there are those old brothers in the city who have come over to Chengcheng, they haven't grabbed anything in Shandong, and they don't let them grab some now, I'm afraid they don't want to obey orders." ”
When Li Jiucheng heard this, his brows furrowed. He hoped that his headquarters would snatch more floating wealth, but in order to open the city gate and share the benefits of Dengzhou City, he promised Geng Zhongming, and at this time, Dengzhou had not been completely eaten, and it was necessary to ensure the enthusiasm of these internal responses. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said: "Give you a day at most, Brother Geng, you leave some men and horses to guard the east gate, and the east gate will be robbed for you, Chen Guangfu will grab the south gate, and Wang Zideng will grab the north gate." ”
Geng Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief, if he took people to Dashui City today, those Liao soldiers who had just taken refuge would not obey the order, including his own subordinates, and if they didn't do it, they would cause infighting, so that they could talk about the rest of the matter after a day or two. He turned around and called the two family members and asked them to inform Chen Guangfu and Wang Zideng.
The three of them were condescending on the rooftop, witnessing the entire process of the rebels entering the city, and seeing many soldiers leaving the ranks and smashing doors and looting from house to house, the place where they were would definitely not be spared. He touched his body, he didn't even have a dagger, he knew that it would be good to bring a Qionghai-style rifle, if the rebels came in, he would always be able to kill a few people on his back.
The rebel looting team soon came this way, and there were screams and pleadings nearby, mixed with the sound of young women crying for help.
Bai Xiaoxian's body trembled, and she clung to Xia Nan. She is equipped with martial arts, and in the face of the rebels, her strength is much higher than that of Xia Nan, but the instinct of a woman makes her subconsciously approach the man who has a good impression of her heart to find a sense of security. To be continued.
