Chapter 211 Upburst
This is also the reason why Xiao Tianjian was not in a hurry to attack the city this time after arriving in Luzhou City. These days, despite the excitement of their fighting outside the West Gate, in fact, the main purpose is to contain the defenders in the city and attract the attention of the defenders to the West Gate, but Xiao Tianjian does not want to consume too much in the strong attack. There are many troops. After all, the soldiers he has gathered now are basically the backbone of Xing Tian's army. If there are heavy casualties like Xiangyang at the beginning, Xiao Tianjian is unwilling to bear such losses.
The plan to attract the defenders has actually been achieved, but what is not good is that the fog they expected and agreed has not come for a long time, so that Xiao Tianjian can only wait. Now that the fog has finally come, Xiao Tianjian has informed his original arrangement to his generals.
When the fog fell on the first night, Xiao Tianjian made arrangements in the camp. Most of the main soldiers would still stay in the west of the city. At dawn, they began to bombard Luzhou City, and the soldiers in the west of the city shouted collectively in the thick fog and made a posture to take advantage of the thick fog to attack the city. Sure enough. The attention of the defenders and officials in Luzhou City was attracted to the west of the city. They looked at the thick fog under the city with frightened eyes, and they had to be careful that the shells would fall on their heads from time to time.
But at this time, in the east direction of the city, a group of people began to gather in the alley in the east gate of the city from all directions. A fortune teller with an honest face suddenly took out a small bronze waist card from his arms. After a group of people gathered around him saw his waist card, they immediately He took out a similar waist card from his arms and saluted him together. The fortune teller in a Taoist robe smiled and said nothing. After being saluted by everyone, he waved his hand and took these people with different costumes into a small courtyard. After a while, these people came out of the courtyard again, but everyone There was a long cloth bag on it, which quickly dispersed and gathered from everywhere towards the east gate.
At this time, there were only less than 300 officers and soldiers left at the East Gate, and they were basically the old and weak in the city. Most of the more strong soldiers were either transferred to the west of the city or to the north of the city at this time. For so many days in the east of the city, no trace of a thief has been seen, so the defenders A lot has been ignored in the area of Dongchengmen.
Although Wu Dapu also requires martial law in the city to implement martial law, the government does not provide food to the refugees and the people in the city. The people can't always go out to find food. Therefore, although the city is martial law, in fact, the people are relatively free to act, which is also created by these Xing Tianjun. Space and opportunities for activities.
Gradually, about a hundred and ten people gradually gathered in the area of Dongchengmen. After waiting for a while, the leading fortune teller saw that no one of his own continued to gather, so he stopped waiting. Suddenly, he whistled and then threw his old Taoist robe to the ground. He came out of the strong clothes inside, and then shook off the long cloth bag in his hand, pulled out a sharp single knife wrapped in it in a blink of an eye, and he quickly took out a piece of white cloth and wrapped it around his forehead.
"Brothers! Do it!" The "Mr. Diagram" raised his knife and roared loudly.
The rest of the people who gathered all kinds of things also pulled out their own weapons at this time. Some people held knives, some people held an iron mace, and some people obviously couldn't find a weapon to take advantage of it. They just held a thick wooden stick, and some people were facing a pole. In short, the weapons they used were very diverse. Miscellaneous, but one thing in common is that each of them quickly wrapped a piece of white cloth around their heads, so that everyone can see who their own people are at a glance.
So these hundred and ten people roared together and rushed out of the alley one by one, swarming towards the East Gate.
At this time, it is the Luzhou government judge surnamed Liu in the city who stayed at the East Gate. This Liu Tong judge was originally focused on the direction of the West Gate at this time. He constantly sent people to run to the West Gate to inquire about the situation there. He did not notice the place under his eyelids at all, including the officers and soldiers who stayed at the East Gate. Basically, he focused on the direction of the west of the city. Even if he did not pay attention to the direction of the west of the city, he basically focused on the outside of the east gate, staring at the thick fog, afraid that a group of Xing Tianjun suddenly rushed out behind the thick fog.
So when these people suddenly rushed into the East Gate from alleys, the defenders on the side of the East Gate were basically unprepared. Someone accidentally saw these people rushing out of the fog, so they were stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, some people shouted and scolded without thinking, "Who? What do you do? ......”
But when watching more and more people with white cloth rush to the gate, these officers and soldiers realized that something was a little wrong. With flexible brains, they realized what had happened, so they shouted: "Spies! They are the spies of the thief army! It's time to grab the door!"
Someone exclaimed, and the rest of the people came back, so Liu Tongpan, who had just come out of the hut under the gate cave, quickly shouted to greet the officers and soldiers to eliminate the group of thieves.
But these Xing Tianjun who killed the city gate are not easy to deal with. Since they are selected to stay, they are not only brave people, but also very clever. In addition, they are very loyal. Everyone knows that this is the time to work hard, so these people will never dare to come forward at this time. .
Under the leadership of the "Mr. fortune teller", No. 100 hit a group of officers and soldiers who had just run out of the gate hole like hungry tigers and wolves. The swords and shadows immediately flashed in the gate, and screams and curses resounded throughout the area of the East Gate.
These subordinates of Xing Tianjun held their will to die one by one, so they did not show mercy when they started their hands, and they didn't even care about their own safety. In an instant, they killed dozens of officers and soldiers who ran out of the city gate cave, and then robbed the weapons of these officers and soldiers, they changed even more. It was much more fierce. Immediately under the command of the "Mr. fortune teller", a few people were left to rush into the gate to clean up the officers and soldiers in the gate cave, and the rest rushed up to the gate tower and seize the gate tower.
The officers and soldiers who were caught off guard had no time to organize any effective resistance. Many people were scared, and they didn't even think of resisting at all. Under the assault of the Xingtian army, more than 300 officers and soldiers suddenly turned into birds and beasts, even the one who was in charge here. Liu Tongjuan didn't have time to run away. He was cut to the ground by the leading "teller" on the spot. He rolled out of the distance. When he stopped, his mouth was still wide open, as if he was calling, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were still full of fear, but in a blink of an eye, His eyes lost their luster, and his pupils began to dilate. The last thing he saw was that his headless body sprayed blood and fell in front of him, and countless big feet stepped over his head and rushed over...
Liu Tong, the master, was sentenced to death, and the rest of the officers and soldiers had no fighting spirit. In addition, they didn't know how many thieves were in the city at all, so they immediately dispersed as birds and beasts and fled to all directions of the city, exclaimed along the way: "The thief has entered the city! The East Gate is lost... Run away!"
Although these Xingtian military officers paid the price of more than a dozen casualties, it can be said that they easily captured the East Gate. With dozens of people working together, they opened the gate as quickly as possible, and immediately ignited three cannons on the city with a few artillery abandoned by the officers and soldiers on the wall.
Luo Li led his troops to wait quietly in the thick fog hundreds of steps away from the East Gate. Luo Li tried his best to make a stable look and did not pass on the anxiety in his heart to his subordinates. His face was full of confidence, but in fact, he had no confidence in his heart. After all, Xiao Tianjian told him that there would be He doesn't know whether it's good for people to meet them in the city and open the gate for them. After all, it's been nearly a month since they evacuated from Luzhou last time. No one knows whether the subordinates left behind have really mixed into the city and whether they can successfully persist in being caught by the government for such a long time. They didn't get any news. If the incident in the city is not successful, their sneak attack on the East Gate this time will definitely be exposed and eventually turn into a formal attack. In that case, their half a month will be wasted.
It has been more than half an hour since he led the army here. At this time, the fog in the sky has gradually begun to dissipate, and the thick fog has turned into a mist. The human figure can be seen from afar. If there is no movement, they will not be able to hide their bodies in the east of the city, but the city is now But there is still no movement.
Luo Li then looked at the direction of the city gate and was waiting for the order to retreat for a distance to prevent the officers and soldiers in the city from seeing their bodies. However, he faintly heard a burst of killing and screams from the gate, and there were also many people exclaiming and screaming.
After Luo Li, who was hesitating, heard this sound, he was immediately refreshed, including the soldiers behind him. At this time, their faces also showed joy. Without orders, they stood up, began to clean up their armor, tidy up their equipment, and prepare to launch an attack.
After a while, three loud noises came from the direction of the gate tower. Luo Li immediately raised his big knife and roared, "Brothers! The brothers in our city have taken the gate! Go into the city with me!"
After thousands of Luo Li's subordinates heard it, they cheered together, and then under the leadership of Luo Li, they rushed to the East Gate like a wave of anger.
Outside the Dongcheng Gate, the officers and soldiers also set up a lot of deer forts and horses, but at this time, they can no longer stop a large number of Xingtian soldiers and horses. The tidal Xingtian soldiers quickly crossed these obstacles, pushed them down or lifted them aside, and then continued to rush forward without leaving enough.
Those Xingtian military personnel who had occupied the gate tower were not even interested in releasing the suspension bridge. They cut off the rope of the suspension bridge with a knife. The suspension bridge fell down and made a loud noise, raising a piece of dust. After a while, Luo Li rushed to the suspension bridge with the army and rushed in like a swarm of bees. In the urn, a large number of people poured into the gate.
Under the leadership of Luo Li, the generals who entered the city quickly took over the defense around the city gate, covering the remaining soldiers and continued to enter the city. At this time, there was also a noisy shout from the west of the city. A group of officers and soldiers ran from the west of the city to the east gate and bumped head-on. After the Xingtian army generals who had entered the city, the two armies began a street battle in the city.
Originally, Wu Dapu came to the west gate of the city in the morning and commanded to resist the attack of Xing Tianjun. However, after waiting for a long time, he only heard Xing Tianjun's cannons and kept shouting, but he didn't see Xing Tian's army launch an attack. At this time, Wu Dapu was a little suspicious of Xing Tian's purpose. After a change of mind, he opened There was an ominous hunch. I was about to send people to the east of the city and the south of the city to investigate the situation. By the way, I had to send troops to strengthen the defense of both sides. At this time, I heard a shout from the east of the city.
Wu Dapu only felt dizzy and almost sat on the ground. At this time, he understood the reason why Xing Tianjun was bluffing in the west of the city. It turned out that Xing Tianjun did not intend to attack Luzhou City at all, but had already sneaked into the spies in the city and took advantage of this time to seize the East Gate. Let's go to the big event in Luzhou!
However, Wu Dapu was still unwilling. He hurriedly transferred a group of people to the East Gate, hoping that the East Gate garrison could hold on for a period of time. Liu Tong was judged to lead troops to resist for a while. As long as the gate was not lost, they would still have a chance to destroy the Xing Tianjun in the city and save Luzhou City.
However, before the soldiers and horses he sent arrived at the Dongcheng Gate, he met the defenders who escaped from the Dongcheng Gate and told them that Liu Tong had been killed at the Dongcheng Gate. The gate had been carefully occupied by the Xingtian thief. After listening to it, a guard led the troops fainted and urged the soldiers to continue to rush to the east of the city. But before they rushed to the East Gate, they bumped into Luo Li's headquarters, which had entered the city.
Next, there is nothing to say next. The defenders still have a certain combat effectiveness when defending the city, but when the street battle meets the wolf-like Xing Tianjun and Luo Li, a war maniac, it can only be in vain. Under the fierce blow of Luo Li's leading soldiers, the defenders who rushed to the east gate of the city were defeated by them and messed everywhere. He rushed up, and Luo Li led the soldiers and directly rushed to the area of the West Gate.
At this time, the defenders in the city had become a frightened bird, and they all lost their fighting spirit. Although Wu Dapu had the intention to resist to the end, He Nai's soldiers had no fighting spirit. He could only lead dozens of familymen to fight to fight to stop Luo Li's soldiers and horses, but soon all of them died. Luo Li's men.
When Xiao Tianjian entered Luzhou City, the war in the city was basically over. Only a few officers and soldiers were still carrying out unnecessary stubborn resistance in a very small area, but it was only a matter of time to be solved. Often, they only need to throw a few Thunderbolt bullets into their courtyard, and they will immediately It was conquered by the Xingtian army, and most of the defenders had put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender at this time. They were escorted out of the city by the soldiers of the Xingtian army, so in the afternoon, Luzhou City was completely controlled by Xiao Tianjian.
In this battle, Wu Dapu, the governor of Luzhou, was killed on the spot. Liu Cheng was killed on the spot, and Ma Mingyu was killed on the spot. At the same time, dozens of stubborn officials and generals and hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed by Xing Tian's army. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers who guarded the city were captured. Many officers and soldiers took advantage of the chaos to open the south gate to escape from Luzhou City and seized grain. There are thousands of stones in food, and there is no other tool.
