Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 589
The sky is like ink, and it's deep into the night.

The east gate and south gate of Runzhou City, the sound of killing was loud, and the siege battle was going on, like purgatory.

Su Chen stood in the tower, listening to the sound of fighting, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. Except for the bright lights at the siege site, the night and fog in the distance were very thick, but Wu Yue's soldiers chose to continue their onslaught tonight. He always felt that, If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
So, he said to Jing Hong and the others: "I always have a premonition that today's Wuyue soldiers are a little abnormal. I am worried that they have some back-ups. I need to send people to visit the North City Gate and West City Gate. There can be no mistakes in such important places as the grain and grass warehouses in the city."

Peng Jingjing said: "Brother Chen, are you worried that the Wuyue soldiers will use tricks and have other plans?"

Su Chen nodded slightly: "The way Wu Yuebing fought today is not quite right, so I'm worried that they will use other means to deceive the world."

Peng Jingjing often reads the art of war recently, and knows the allusion of crossing the sea without the sky. According to legend, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once led 30 troops to leave Chang'an for an expedition to the Bohai Kingdom in Liaodong. The sea is difficult to cross, and I can't help becoming anxious.

Seeing this, general Xue Rengui had a plan: he invited Taizong into a colorful tent by the sea, and ordered all officials, civil and military, to drink and have fun.For a while, there were singing and dancing, and the wine was fragrant.This situation actually made Taizong forget his sorrow and immerse himself in joy.While drinking, Taizong suddenly heard the sound of rough waves outside the tent, so he hurriedly opened the tent and looked out.Only then did I realize that I was crossing the sea with an army of 30, and was about to reach the other shore.

It turned out that Xue Rengui was worried that Taizong would give up the Eastern Expedition due to the barrier of the sea, so he commanded the army to cross the sea without telling him. Because the emperor is the "son of heaven", it is called "crossing the sea without the sky".

Peng Jingjing asked suspiciously: "The defense of Runzhou City is impenetrable now, unless Wu Yue soldiers fly in with wings, or get in from the river."

"The river course?"

Su Chen frowned, lost in thought.

"Runzhou City is similar to Jinling City in that they have rivers running through the city. If Wu Yue soldiers choose to break the embankment from the upstream and flood Runzhou City with water, it will cause a huge disaster, but this project is too big and it will not end well unless it arrives At the last moment, this inhumane method may be used, flooding the city with river water, flowing in along the bamboo rafts, and attacking."

Su Chen looked at the brightly lit city, the city is still under attack, it doesn't seem like a plan to flood Runzhou.

However, the word river course gave him a strong sense of unease.

When Peng Jingjing heard Su Chen's analysis, she was also a little surprised and worried.

Su Chen acted resolutely, and directly said to Jing Hong: "Commander Jing, you take a few teams to inspect the river defense in the city, and send people to watch and inspect the entrance and exit of the city, in case something goes wrong?"

Jing Hong nodded and said yes, and brought 300 people to inspect.

Peng Jingjing looked at Su Chen, puzzled and said, "Are you worried that Wu Yue's soldiers will use the river as tricks?"

"I don't know yet, but there is nothing wrong with doing more inspections before they happen!" Su Chen said.

Peng Jingjing nodded slightly, and felt that it made sense for Su Chen to do so in advance.

At the same time, five hundred dead men in night clothes dived into the water when they were three or four feet away from the water gate, and dived forward along the embankment.

Looking down from the top of the city in this way, due to sight and fire, the river surface could not be seen very carefully. These figures had all lurked in the water and passed close to the sluice.

Duyuhou Zhang Shun saw that the situation was almost over, so he ordered the use of horses and began to pull the sluice.

More than a dozen war horses held the chains and ran vigorously. The combined force of these horses was very huge.

The rope that was far away was stretched straight, and the jack was shaken by the pull, and then there was a click, and it broke from the joint of the wall, and then with a bang, the jack fell down, fell into the water and smashed up. Some splashes.

This sound attracted the attention of the city guards. A group of Tang soldiers patrolling nearby rushed over to check, but they were attacked by short crossbows from Wuyue soldiers hiding nearby, killing several people.

"who!"

"Death!" A few black-clothed dead men swung their blades and rushed over, slashed a few times, and killed the patrolling Tang soldiers.

Afterwards, those dead soldiers in black kept swimming in from the water gate, and more and more Wuyue soldiers entered the city.

"Not good, the enemy has entered the city!"

Some Tang soldiers on the top of the city saw many men in black appearing inside the city wall, killing people, so they beat the gong and horn to send out the signal.

However, in the dark mist outside the city, many arrows were suddenly shot out, attacking the soldiers of the Tang army at the top of the city, making it difficult for them to provide support easily.

"Hurry up, pass the news to General Ma Xiong at the North City Gate, and send someone over to help. The iron gate of the water gate here has been destroyed, and Wu Yue soldiers have entered the city from here."

A capital officer in charge of defending this section of the city wall was taken aback when he saw this, shouted, and began to send people to the north city gate dozens of feet away to report the news.

"puff!"

However, just as the soldier ran a few steps, an arrow came and pierced him.

"Be careful with arrows, report to a few people!" Everyone panicked, if the news could not be sent to the North City Gate quickly, and if they didn't know that the situation here was serious, a little delay might cause an irreparable situation.

"Finally came in, kill Tang Jun!"

"Break the city, break the city!"

More than 100 people have already entered the city and started to shoot loud arrows, sending a signal to Bao Zhi and others outside the city.

"Get ready to get on the bamboo raft and flow into the city!"

Bao Zhi issued a military order. Thousands of Wuyue soldiers who had been ambushing here for a long time suddenly appeared, gathered on the embankment of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, lowered the bamboo rafts, some soldiers jumped on it, supported the bamboo poles and bamboo rafts, and went down the river. , rushed to the city.

Jing Hong just happened to come over for inspection, and he was still twenty feet away. In the alley, he heard the sound of fighting here.

"not good!"

Jing Hong's face changed drastically, and there was a fight in the city, which meant that something happened.

He drew out his saber and shouted to the three hundred soldiers behind him: "Quick, go and meet the enemy!"

"Here!" The soldier shouted in response.

Jing Hong and three hundred Tang soldiers rushed over quickly, just in time to meet the dead soldiers in black.

"kill--"

Without further ado, Jing Hong swung his knife and killed him.

Just as the black-clothed dead men were about to spread out, they rushed towards the north gate and charged the city gate, but they were blocked by the people brought by Jing Hong.

"Dangdangdang!"

The two sides fought hand in hand and fought together directly.

Jing Hong is highly skilled in martial arts. As soon as the confrontation took place, he saw how many people had been killed. He saw the gate of the canal entering the city, which had been destroyed. Chang said: "The gate of the river channel has been broken. Quickly tell the Soviet Supervising Army the news and ask him to send troops to support him!"

"Here!" The senior officer knew that the situation was critical and there was no delay, so he turned around and ran towards the east gate.
