First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 283 Barry Continent

...

Even though Xiao Liang's situation is in decline, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the country is about to perish, but there are not many discerning people among these ordinary soldiers.

Xiao Liang occupied the land of Jingchu for more than a hundred years, and his influence was far-reaching. No matter how he declined, there were still some loyal ministers and good generals.

This Colonel of the Liang Army was obviously a loyal soldier of Daliang. Seeing that Jiang Baoyi had already entered the city gate, the captain cursed, "There are not many people in Tanggou, kill them all, don't lose the face of the Chu people."

The people of Chu were originally strong, and since ancient times, the people of Chu have had the spirit of "disobedience to Zhou". Now Jiang Baoyi has killed all directions.

As the saying goes, if a soldier loves one, he will love a nest. This is the role of the leader. If there is no captain, perhaps the Liang soldiers would have dispersed and fled for their lives. It is gradually recovering the situation.

Jiang Baoyi took the lead and had already suffered several wounds. Seeing the captain screaming and fighting, he immediately gave the order: "Keep the city gate", and then went straight to the captain. As long as he kills this person, Liang Bing's spirit will be broken. It is possible to stick to it, otherwise, if you wait for a cup of tea, and Liang Bing reinforcements arrive, you will be in a desperate situation.

"You son of a bitch, this is not your Guanzhong." The captain obviously had a violent temper. Seeing that Jiang Baoyi was going straight to kill him, he even raised his knife to meet him.

With a bang, Jiang Baoyi stabbed straight at the captain's chest. Although the captain was burly, he was very nimble. He seemed to be a master at wielding a knife. He raised the knife and bounced the spear away. , bullying forward, and slashing at Jiang Baoyi's shoulder.

Jiang Baoyi's eyes were fixed, and he put away his gun to fight.

As early as when Jiang Baoyi captured Yang Junmao alive, scouts in the distance quickly notified Gao Chong, and the [-] soldiers waiting in full force came straight to the city gate.

"The Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have arrived. Surrender to avoid death." The dense Tang army rushed straight to the city gate, shouting loudly, and its voice shook the sky.

The captain's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and at the moment of pause, Jiang Baoyi shot him across the neck. The captain clutched his neck and fell to the ground dead.

When Lin Zhisong looked back, his face was also horrified. Facing the frontal attack of thousands of people, it was basically difficult to calm down calmly, but Lin Zhisong was also a city guard at any rate. After he was horrified, he reacted and shouted: "One hundred thousand Tang troops are here, surrender quickly...".

Originally, the death of the school lieutenant was a heavy blow to the resisting Liang soldiers, but now Lin Zhisong is clamoring for surrender here, and what is even more desperate is that the dark Tang army has approached.

Liang soldiers knelt down and begged for surrender, not daring to resist any more. Surrender is the same as resistance. It stretches to the other end of the street, full of prisoners.

Seeing this scene, Yang Junmao closed his eyes, his hands clenched into fists and trembling.

Seeing this, Lin Zhisong was afraid that he would act violently, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Brother-in-law, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and you are not Xiao Liang's direct confidant, so there is no need to work hard for him. Let me tell you, then The leader is the son of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, with a high position and authority, if he can be supported by him, it will be better than being a polished general here in Xiaoliang."

This is really reasonable. Yang Junmao opened his eyes when he heard the words, and his face was angry, but he also looked sad when he heard the words "Great General". People, really hateful.

Xiao Mian's strategy of "suspending troops to garrison the fields" successfully relieved the military power of the kings and generals, effectively consolidated the regime of the Jiangling court, and centralized power in one body. shortcoming.

Zhijiang is the gateway to Jiangling City, the capital city of Daliang. The Changjiang estuary that is turning around can be said to be directly facing Jiangling after breaking through Zhijiang. The general, who sits in Zhijiang City, originally had tens of thousands of troops under his command, but now these tens of thousands of Liang soldiers are scattered all over Zhijiang to farm.

After Gao Chong ordered to occupy all the gates and take over the whole city, he went straight to Yang Junmao, "General Yang, I have heard about you for a long time, but the city has been destroyed, what is the general's plan?"

Yang Junmao raised his eyes to look at Gao Chong, and remained silent. Seeing this, Lin Zhisong immediately became impatient, "Brother-in-law, don't be stubborn. What good did Xiao Mi do to you? It's worth your life for him. Since ancient times, there is no one who has commanded 800 people." General, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about my elder sister, she can't accompany you to be buried with Xiao Liang."

Yang Junmao was finally moved when he heard the words, he stared and said: "The disaster is not as good as your family, how can you coerce me like this?"

"You, pedantic," Lin Zhisong scolded, stomping his feet, "I'm going to invite my elder sister right now," and then he left as if to leave.

Unexpectedly, Yang Junmao was horrified when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, I have to trouble your sister for everything, I just surrender."

Lin Zhisong laughed loudly when he heard the words, and hurriedly walked up to Gao Chong and said: "Gao Changshi, the crime will not be disgraceful, and Yang Junmao is willing to surrender."

Gao Chong was stunned, so he could only smile and said: "Very good, very good".

After breaking Zhijiang, Gao Chong immediately sent people to Yidu to report the victory, and then quickly deployed defenses. If it is not bad, the main force of the Liang army will arrive soon.

Zhijiang county government office, the county magistrate stood by with a smiling face. It is said that when the Tang soldiers attacked the county government office, the county magistrate immediately lay down on the ground to greet Master Wang.

"Gao Changshi, you may not know it for the first time. There is an island in the middle of the river south of Zhijiang City. It is called Bailizhou. 200 men and horses".

The county magistrate came to Gao Chong, bowed his head and said with a smile, after finishing speaking, he looked closely at Gao Chong with anticipation.

Sure enough, Gao Chong raised his brows when he heard the words, "Bailizhou..." Then he spread out the map, took a closer look, and was startled, "Thanks to the reminder from County Magistrate Zhang, I almost missed a major event", and immediately ordered: " Order Jiang Baoyi to lead a thousand soldiers immediately, take Bailizhou, and then stick to it."

This Bailizhou is in the middle of the river in the south of Zhijiang City, and it is at the river bay. Whoever seizes the Barry Continent first will have the upper hand.

Tang Xia Lin Zhisong slapped his thigh when he heard the words. He almost forgot about such a credit. He called the dog county magistrate to take advantage of it, and hurriedly pulled Yang Junmao out of the line, "Gao Changshi, Bailizhou belongs to Zhijiang, and its deployment It was all at the hands of General Yang, the island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, General Yang is willing to surrender to reduce casualties."

"Very good, very good", Gao Chong laughed loudly when he heard the words, this is the benefit of "leading the way".
