Chapter 202 Break through the city
"Oh?" Zhang Yang's face suddenly showed excitement and said, "Where is it!"
Shang Chuang smiled mysteriously and said, "The Lion Regiment is a cavalry regiment, equipped with more than 2,500 war horses. Now their personnel are half less. Although the war horses also have losses, there are more than 1,000 spare horses anyway. Although there are only more than 1,000 war horses, it is better than nothing, but now The dilemma is how to ask for a horse for the lion group. You should know that war horses are scarce nowadays. If you ask for a horse for the lion group, Liu Dazhuang will definitely not give it.
After listening to this, Zhang Yang picked up the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Uncle Shang, thank you. Please help me select 3,000 good men first. As for the war horse, I have a solution."
"Okay, it's not difficult to select good recruits. It's just Xiaoyang, when will your soldier go to the battlefield? Shang Chuang looked at the ghostly child and joked.
Zhang Yang pouted and said, "Give me three months, and I can turn them into an elite teacher!"
"Also, Uncle Shang, I'll write a letter to the general later. Please send someone to deliver it for me."
Shang Chuang laughed and said, "Yes, no problem!"
Outside Xi'an City, Liu Xia and others were discussing in the tent. At this time, suddenly there was a sound of smashing footsteps from the outside, and then only a personal guard shouted, "A letter from the general from the city."
"Oh?" Liu Xia was slightly surprised. After all, not long ago, he had just sent a scout to make them surrender. According to the scout, not only did the people on the tower want to surrender, but even some people wanted to shoot him with bows and arrows, but fortunately, the people around him stopped him. The information obtained by Liu Xia determined that the people in the city would rather die than surrender, so Liu Xia gathered the generals together and then discussed the siege tomorrow.
"Bear it here and let me have a look." After saying that, the soldier came in and then handed over a sealed grass envelope to Liu Xia. Liu Xia immediately tore the envelope and took out a piece of neat paper from it. The paper was densely written.
After reading it, Liu Xia laughed and said, "This is the people in Xi'an who want to surrender, and it's also Lu Dingguo and Li Cunmao among the five tiger generals under Li Wentao."
Wang Shitou listened and shouted, "What five tiger generals are just a group of rabbles, and he also calls himself the five tigers. I think it's the little mouse!" Liu Xia shook her head with a smile. The five tiger generals were indeed a little weaker, more than a little worse than Liu Bei's five tiger generals. Liu Xia smiled and said, "Stone, haven't you ever heard that the tiger is not in the mountain and the monkey dominates?"
"Hey hey, I really haven't heard of it," Wang Shitou scratched his hair and said with some embarrassment.
"Well, now that Li Cunmao and Lu Dingguo want to surrender, the strategy we discussed before needs to be changed. Of course, we can't fully believe in Lu Dingguo and Li Cunmao now. Now we can't rule out that they are fraudulent plans. But we can also use these two people to open the gate for us. Whether Lu Dingguo and Li Cunmao surrendered or falsely, we will start to attack the city tomorrow. In addition, send an order to Li Cunmao and Lu Dingguo to cooperate with the army to open the gate tomorrow. There must be no mistake!"
"Yes" The guard took the order and hurriedly ran down.
The guard came to a forest and handed Liu Xia's military order to a scout dispatched from a city. The scout took the letter and nodded, and left quickly.
It didn't take long for Liu Xia's military order to reach Li Cunmao and Lu Dingguo. After reading it, Li Cunmao frowned and said to Lu Dingguo: "This Liu Xia asked us to open the gate when they attacked the city." After careful consideration, Lu Dingguo answered, "We have to do this matter, otherwise we can't gain Liu Xia's trust. If we don't follow Liu Xia's order, Liu Xia will treat us as a fraudulent surrender rather than a real surrender. If Liu Xia breaks through the city, then all our previous actions will be in vain."
"What Brother Lu said is that it happens that the guard of the south gate will be the direct line of the younger brother. At that time, it will not be difficult for us to open the gate. I'm afraid that Wang Chenghua will come to make trouble at that time. Every time Li Cunmao thinks of Wang Chenghua, he feels uncomfortable all over. For Wang Chenghua and Li Cunmao, he is like a big enemy. Lu Dingguo said in a voice, "Brother, don't worry. At that time, I will stop Wang Chenghua, and then my brother will go down and open the gate. At that time, we will become the Pingbei Army, and the glory and wealth will be ours. Haha."
On the morning of the 27th, the low and desolate horn sounded continuously, which was the offensive horn of the Pingbei Army. The first regiment of the Lion Regiment is a cavalry regiment, and now there are still more than a thousand people left, which can be said to be heavy casualties. Now because it is a cavalry regiment, there is no need to attack the city. The task of the cavalry is to pursue and sweep the enemy. The soldiers of the Lions Second Regiment and the Guard Regiment were attacking. At this time, Liu Xia stood on the chariot, surrounded by the protection of the guards, and behind him was the remaining men of the eagle guard.
The Guards and the Second and Third Regiments are both musket regiments, but because the development of muskets is not mature enough, these soldiers are also spearmen or big knife soldiers. The soldiers pushed six or seven ladders to the tower step by step, while a row of more than 20 cannons staying not far away went straight to the tower. Once the more than 20 cannons were ordered, they would bomb them in unison.
"Woo-woo-woo~~~" The horn still sounded continuously, and the soldiers approached the tower step by step with neat steps. The solemn military appearance made the enemy on the tower timid.
"The Pingbei Army is going to attack, it's going to attack. They have cannons!"
"Let me see, there are really more than 20 cannons. The cannons on our tower have been damaged for a long time, and a few are intact, but there are no shells. How can we fight against them!"
"Don't talk about it. Everyone, prepare the wooden rolling stone and gold juice. Let the Pingbei soldiers taste the taste of this golden juice later."
On the other side, Liu Xia looked at the gate in the distance with a telescope. At this time, the gate was still not open. However, Liu Xia saw Li Cunmao walk down the tower. Liu Xia immediately waved his hand. The commander beside him understood Liu Xia's gesture, so he waved the flag, and then the more than a thousand cavalry quickly rushed to the battlefield.
Now that the city had not been opened, the cavalry rushed over first, which puzzled the enemy on the tower, but soon they knew the problem, because the gate of the tower had been opened at this time.
Wang Chenghua shouted angrily, "Hualy, stop that traitor!" Hurry up! Never let him open the gate." With that, Wang Chenghua was about to run down the tower with a weapon, but at this time, Lu Dingguo came over and blocked Wang Chenghua's way. Wang Chenghua immediately said angrily, "I know that you two are uneasy and kind-hearted. That's true. Now it's really damning to compass the enemy. Let me kill you!" With that, Wang Chenghua went to Lu Dingguo to kill him. At the same time, the soldiers on the tower also made a mess. At this time, these soldiers did not know whether to surrender or continue to attack the Pingbei army.
"Squeaky!" The gate was opened, and then the rushing cavalry rushed into the city first, and then the Guards and Second and Third Regiments also entered it, and suddenly there were killing voices.
"Surrender without killing! Surrender and don't kill!"
Liu Xia put down the telescope in her hand, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and said, "I've taken the city. Yu Mingjun, go and grab Li Wentao for me."
Yu Mingjun was then ordered to lead the soldiers with eagles and guards to quickly enter Xi'an on war horses.
"Driving"
Although the soldiers outside were in chaos, Li Wentao was still in his ** at this time. At this time, the maids and servants in the house had already been in a mess, running around like headless flies. No one came to take care of him, so although the room was full of vomit, no maid came to clean it up.
Many good things in the governor's mansion were put into their bags by those maid servants, and then they wanted to escape from the house and run out. But at this time, the city was in chaos, and there were ruffians everywhere. Where is there a safe place? As soon as many maids ran out of the house, they were stopped by several ruffians, and then carried them to a dilapidated courtyard, stripped off the clothes of these maids and raped them.
