Chapter 49: The Change at the South Gate

(The first update, ask for a red ticket!) )

When Yanjing sent the edict of the king of Qin, there were as many as 20,000 soldiers and horses of the king of Qinwang in the north of the two Zhejiang, and Zhao Jinlong was the deputy general of the division of the king of the two Zhejiang, and he did not dare to go north again after leading the twelve battalions to take the east road to Jinan, and coveted the reward given by the locality, so he led 7,000 Zhejiang soldiers to help defend Jinan.

It's just that the reward allocated by the local government of Jinan, and the overly greedy Zhao Jinlong put it into his pocket, except for the hundreds of direct subordinates under him who have benefited, most of the Zhejiang soldiers have not received any benefits, and they are extremely resentful.

This is the direct root cause of the change at the south gate of Jinan.

After the outbreak of the war in Jinan, Zhao Jinlong did not think about escaping, but the offensive and defensive war in Jinan was very fierce, and other Zhejiang generals Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhong and other generals who did not receive the benefits of local rewards refused to defend Jinan.

Escaping in such a situation is a major crime of extermination, but there is no way, and Zhao Jinlong cannot lead four or five hundred cronies to stay and guard the southern city when the other Zhejiang soldiers have fled, and he can only half-push and half-give the rebel generals to flee south.

Fleeing into the southern mountains, the Zhejiang soldiers did not disperse, nor did they immediately return to Liangzhejiang. Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhong and other rebel generals must consider that they will be held accountable for the major crime of escaping and causing the fall of Jinan afterwards, and many of them are from Haozhou, and Haozhou was attacked by the thief Liu An'er. Although it was also a way out to lead the army to Haozhou to seek refuge with Liu An'er, but all the way around Tai'an, the rebel generals finally continued to coerce Zhao Jinlong, surrendered to the east together, and supported Zhao Jinlong together to sit on the seat of the right capital of the Han army.

Zhao Jinlong even has the heart to die, even if he has a hundred mouths, he can't argue.

Escaping from the battlefield and defecting to the East are the first crimes, and all the big crimes that are enough to punish the three clans are attributed to him alone. Zhao Jinlong could only send his cronies to ride down the trail, hoping to inform his family to flee before the news reached the local government.

Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, and Zhou Zhizhong are all subordinate crimes, and they should be beheaded in their own judgments, and their wives and sons are in the army, which is much lighter than Zhao Jinlong's first crime.

One wrong step is difficult to ride a tiger, and after leading the troops to surrender, he immediately followed the captive cavalry prison to attack Zhangqiu and slaughter the city.

If you make a mistake in this step, all the ways back will be blocked, and you can only follow Dongyu all the way to the dark.

After attacking Zhangqiu and slaughtering more than 20,000 people in Zhangqiu and taking refuge in the city, Zhao Jinlong and the rebels gained the trust of the Eastern Prisoners, at least the position of the right capital of the newly attached Han army was firmly seated.

After the capture of Jinan, the defenders of Jinan who did not have time to break through the siege and withdrew from the city, a few died in battle, and most chose to surrender, and Yezir Khan used these surrendered troops to supplement Zhao Jinlong and Mo Ji's headquarters.

Regardless of the combat strength, Mo Ji's headquarters attacked Yangxin for several days, with more than 3,000 casualties, so the number of soldiers and horses under his command increased to more than 7,000.

When Zhao Jinlong's troops abandoned Jinan and fled, although the generals were not dispersed, the ordinary soldiers below fled in large numbers, and when he was coerced and surrendered to the east, there were even less than 4,000 people, and they were also replenished to more than 7,000 people after Tuzhangqiu City.

Zhao Jinlong received an order to lead his troops to Yangxin to participate in the offensive in Zhangqiu on the night of the 4th, and Yezir Khan also regarded Yangxin as the last battle to break the border and invade the south, and no longer let the main force continue to advance eastward, and began to recycle the strategy.

The Jiangdong Left Army showed excellent ability to project troops by sea, and the main force of the captives had almost no concept of water warfare, so it was naturally impossible to take the risk of taking ships and returning to Liaodong by sea at this time.

On the evening of the 6th, Zhao Jinlong led more than 7,000 people on the right side of the newly attached Han army to Zhulongpo outside Yangxin City.

***************

The camp here has been prepared, Zhao Jinlong rushed to Yangxin, and when the army saddled his horse to rest, he took Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhong and other generals to Beicheng to see Mo Ji's headquarters attacking Yangxin.

Although the soldiers of Mo Ji's headquarters have been replenished in time and the strength has been maintained at full strength, the morale is unimaginably low.

When Zhao Jinlong arrived, this side was sending hundreds of soldiers on the left side of the Xinfu Han Army to attack the north gate, crowding until there was still a distance of seventy steps from the city gate hole, and without waiting for the stone arrows at the city head, just a huge crossbow arrow was shot out from the city gate hole, and the entire charging array was suddenly scattered. Some of them held shields and did not move forward, some dodged to the two wings, and some fled directly with their feet, and some people abandoned their weapons and sat on the ground waiting for death, but they did not dare to charge towards the city gate.

Zhao Jinlong couldn't imagine the siege of the city in the past few days, after all, the military exchanges were only Liao Liao's words, and it was impossible to write down the details of the siege. Even if the Donghu people clearly wanted them, the newly attached Han army, to go to the city wall and send them to death, but Mo Ji's headquarters performed very well when attacking Jinan, how could it be that it only took four or five days to look like they had collapsed?

Zhao Jinlong still remembers that he looked weak in Jinan, but he was extremely tough in his bones, and although he got along coldly at the banquet in Jinan, he never thought that there would be a battle between the two armies above and below the city today.

Zhao Jinlong has just ridden around from outside the West City, from the city gate to the head of the city are traces of fierce battles, and then look at the trench blockade of the four city gates of Yangxin and the war equipment that is scattered all over the ground, it can be seen that Mo Ji's organization still has a set of siege cities, and there is a steady stream of soldiers to replenish it, and it is actually on the verge of collapse, and the war is so tragic that it is really unimaginable.

Zhao Jinlong turned over and dismounted his horse to kowtow to Ye Ji Duodi, and said: "Zhao Jinlong, the right commander of the Han army, led the generals under his command to kowtow to the prince of Duodi......"

Ye Ji Duodi leaned up from the dodge chair, squinted at Zhao Jinlong, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm waiting for your right Han army to capture Yangxin for me!" How long will it take for you to organize a siege of the city outside the west and north cities! ”

"By dawn tomorrow, our department will be ready!" Zhao Jinlong said.

Mo Jiben's face is like ashes, he doesn't fight with Zhao Jinlong, he has now learned the wrist of Yezir Khan, and now it seems that he still has 7,000 troops under his command, which is not much more than when he surrendered in Linqing, but his descendants were exhausted in the two sieges, and there were dozens of old guards left.

If it weren't for Ye Jiduodi's soldiers and horses supervising the battle here, he would not have the ability to suppress the more than 7,000 bullets on the left side of the Xinfu Han army, and it was even very likely that these soldiers would mutini and tear them to pieces. After all the soldiers and horses of the descendants were consumed, Mo Jiben had no choice but to follow Donghu to the black, and to be a loyal dog in Donghu?

Mo Jiben wanted to see how Zhao Jinlong captured Yangxin City.

"Good!" Seeing that Zhao Jinlong didn't have the slightest intention of delaying and postponing, Ye Ji Duodi was in a good mood and said, "I don't have a precedent for the southerners to be crowned kings in Donghu, but it is impossible, so the next war will be handed over to you!" ”

"Zhao Jinlong has an order!" Zhao Jinlong got up from the cold mud ground, looked coldly at Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, and Zhou Zhizhong generals beside him, and said coldly, "Wait for the order, I want the three of you to complete the deployment of troops and attack preparations before dawn, and personally lead the team to attack the city....... Kill them all! ”

"Good, good, good," Ye Jiduodi laughed happily, "This king is all up to you, Xiongqi, you assign people to Zhao Dutong!" Those who dare not listen to the orders of Zhao Du, those who dare to refuse to go to the city, and those who dare to retreat without orders will be beheaded! ”

Na He Xiongqi and Mo Jiben were extremely strange in their hearts, was this Zhao Jinlong in front of him Zhao Jinlong, who was as timid as a mouse and fled from Jinan? If Zhao Jinlong had the determination to fight all the descendants, maybe Yangxin City would really be able to capture it.

Zhao Jinlong's face was as cold as frost, only Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, Zhou Zhizhong and other rebel generals looked like mourning, where did they think that Zhao Jinlong would be so vicious that he would borrow a knife to kill people? If Yang Xin can't be captured in three days, Zhao Jinlong will take their heads to sacrifice the military law. If this Yangxin is easy to attack, Mo Ji's headquarters will not have to fight to the point of collapse. But Zhao Jinlong borrowed five hundred captives for the battle, and outside this Yangxin City, there were six or seven thousand captives on the side, what other way could they have besides attacking the city?

Mo Ji is a pity that his descendants have been consumed, Zhao Jinlong can't wait for his "descendants" to be consumed and die, the henchmen he sent home to report the news have returned, and his parents, wives and concubines, brothers, nephews, and uncles have all been arrested by the local government, and when he is convicted of escaping and surrendering to the East, he will be sentenced to death.

Zhao Jinlong looked at Sun Zhongwu, Sheng Tianxi, and Zhou Zhizhong coldly, and thought hatefully in his heart: It's my fault that I didn't share the benefits for you; But it is your fault to destroy my people. If you don't die, how can you dissolve the hatred in my heart?

************

Lin Jian didn't expect the rebel general Zhao Jinlong to lead his troops over, so he immediately put on a desperate posture to attack the city, completely subverting his previous understanding of Zhao Jinlong, the key is that he didn't know the twists and turns of the Zhejiang soldiers' surrender.

Lin Jian watched Zhao Jinlong take advantage of the night to quickly unfold in Xicheng and Beicheng, and there was no intention of using troops in moderation at all.

Lin Jian frowned, it was really tricky, he thought that Zhao Jinlong's troops would come over, and it would take three or four days for the intensity of the siege to reach its peak, but he didn't expect to withstand the storm at the beginning! It seems that the wolf smoke will be burned immediately, and he will approach Yangxin through Zhou Pu ashore.

Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and other Shaowu generals were so angry that Zhao Jinlong led his troops to attack Yangxin, and Chen Dingbang saw Zhao Jinlong's cavalry outside the city to see the military situation, and he gritted half of his teeth with hatred.

"Jiangdong Left Army and Jinzhong Army should not come to compete with our Shao Wujun to be this death squad!" Geng Quanshan took off the saber from his waist, handed it to Lin Bin, and said, "Lord Lin, if I unfortunately die in battle and I can't find the body, please send this knife to my hometown in Jiangxi, so that my father and mother will have a thought when they see this knife." ”
