Chapter 676 Bloody Battle at the City Gate

Inside the big tent of Zhao Jun's middle army.

Xu Shiji read the letter sent by Chunyu Nan several times, and Chunyu Lang asked, "What do you think?"

Chunyu Lang read it carefully and said, "This letter is indeed my brother's handwritten letter. I can recognize the handwriting. And the person who delivered the letter is also my brother's confidant."

When Chunyu Lang said that, everyone frowned.

Jiang Shanhe said: "Since it was sent by the governor Chunyu, it is reasonable to think that he disagrees with Liu Lan's insistence on going his own way, so he surrenders to our army and is willing to dedicate the city to open the gate."

Xu Shiji asked, "What time is the appointment?"

"At three o'clock in the morning, when three lanterns are hung on the top of the city. Chunyu can't tell when he will open the city gate and let our army enter the city."

Zhang Xuansu said: "Wait a minute, show me the letter."

Zhang Xuansu turned Chunyu Lang's letter over and over again.Li Chongjiu asked: "Zhang Aiqing, is there anything wrong with this letter?"

Zhang Xuansu cupped his fists and said: "There is nothing wrong, but because there is nothing wrong, I feel something wrong in my heart."

"How to say?" Li Chongjiu asked.

Zhang Xuansu said: "Our army has been fighting with the Qingzhou Army for many days, regardless of superiority or superiority. It can be seen that Liu Lan, the enemy military commander, is a resourceful character. With his intelligence, how could he not be able to judge that Chunyu Nan may have a different mind? Even if you don't suspect him, it's impossible to entrust him with the heavy responsibility of defending the south gate."

At the side Xu Shi said bluntly: "Zhang Shilang is too worried, this letter is undoubtedly written by Chun Yunan himself, he knows that his younger brother is in our army, how could he intentionally harm his younger brother?"

When Xu Shishun said that, everyone nodded.

Xu Shishun said immediately: "Your Majesty, you will come down in the future, and you haven't made an inch of merit. I implore you to lead the troops from the headquarters to enter the south gate and make the first contribution to your Majesty's victory in Qingzhou."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Okay, according to Captain Xu's words, at three o'clock tomorrow night, the whole army will seize the city."

The next day, Zhao Jun attacked the city from all sides!It was just a feint attack, to probe the situation in the city, but there was no reaction in the city, and when Zhao Jun came to attack, they all just shot back with random arrows.

In the middle, Li Yiman, a general of the Qingzhou Army, led 2000 troops out of the east gate to fight with the Song Jingang Department of the Zhao Army.After returning the account, Song Jingang praised Li Yiman to Li Chongjiu, saying that he is good at running the army and is a strong enemy.

The day wears off and the night falls.

Xu Shishun led [-] soldiers to ambush in the south of the city. Behind Xu Shishun, there were [-] elite soldiers from Xue Wanshu to support him.The moonlight was bright on this night, and the torches on the top of the city were flickering, which showed that the defenders were very heavily guarded.

Xu Shishun's generals all said: "The Qingzhou army guards the city so tightly, how can they break the city so easily?"

Xu Shishun comforted: "If there is an internal response, Jiancheng is just a flat land. We wait for the news. If it doesn't work, we will only lose one night's time."

Xu Shishun waited until the third watch, but saw that the torches on the top of the city were gradually extinguished, obviously because of the nightfall, the defense on the city was also relaxed a lot.At this time, Xue Wanche had ordered a thousand Zhao troops who were good at swimming to swim across the moat.

At this time, three red lights suddenly hung on the top of the city.The red light is particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

Xu Shishun stood up abruptly and shouted: "Follow me into the city."

Rushing footsteps sounded, and five hundred soldiers came to the moat. At this time, the suspension bridge on the city was slowly lowered.

Xu Shishun walked across the suspension bridge with a saber in his hand, but saw the city gates in front of him were separated from the left to the right, and the soldiers inside and outside the city gates were busy moving the horses and antlers away.A general stepped forward and said: "The last general has been waiting here for a long time, please enter the city."

Xu Shishun asked, "Why don't you see General Chunyu?"

The general said: "General Chunyu is entangled with the city gate supervisor, so he can't separate himself."

Xu Shishun nodded and said to the soldiers: "Follow me into the city, you guard the city gate here, and Captain Xu is leading a team of troops to station on the tower."

The general said: "General Xu, are you still worried about us?"

Xu Shishun said: "I'm used to being cautious, and I can sail with care for ten thousand years."

After speaking, Xu Shishun led three hundred soldiers into the Wengcheng, and the gate of the Wengcheng in front was slowly opened, and the streets of Qingzhou City under the darkness of night appeared in their eyes.

Xu Shishun was overjoyed and said: "Go, follow me to the state government office!"

After Xu Shishun yelled loudly, Zhao Jun's soldiers rolled into the city behind him.The soldiers rushed into the streets of Qingzhou City.

The moonlight was cold, and there was silence in the city, not even the sound of the wind.
The dirt road in the street is full of footsteps.Xu Shishun waited to pass through the streets of Liangfang, but when he saw his troops entering the city in large numbers, there was still no movement in the city, so he suddenly changed his expression and shouted: "No, there is an ambush in the city, let's retreat quickly."
Zhao Jun returned in the direction of Wengcheng. At this time, screams sounded, and the soldiers at the gate of Wengcheng were killed. Then, with a bang, the thousand-jin gate in the gate of Wengcheng was lowered, cutting off Zhao Jun's retreat.

"Quick, form an formation and defend yourself!" Xu Shishun shouted, and Zhao Jun immediately formed an formation.

Suddenly there was a sound of clappers, and torches were suddenly lit on the left and right sides of the street.

On the wall of the square, there were dense numbers of Qingzhou soldiers, and one of them shouted loudly: "Since you know the ambush, you still don't surrender!"

Xu Shishun organized two thousand Zhao troops to retreat into the city and set up shields on all sides, forming a circular formation.Xu Shishun said angrily, "Who are you? Is Chunyu Nan such a thief?"

The other party smiled and said, "No, I am Qi Gongshun!"

After speaking, one of them laughed loudly. When the sound of horseshoes sounded, a group of cavalry appeared on the street.One of the generals immediately was Qi Gongshun.

Qi Gongshun smiled and said: "You have already fallen into the scheme of our military division, and you should not surrender quickly, otherwise you will die without a place to die."

Xu Shishun didn't show any panic on his face, he stood up and said: "As expected by His Majesty and Zhang Shilang, this is indeed a trick to surrender!"

"What? You all know?" Qi Gongshun stopped smiling.

Xu Shishun sneered, "Nonsense!"

At this time, on the city wall of the south gate of Qingzhou City, thousands of soldiers of the Zhao army who had just swam across the moat had already climbed up the city wall of the south gate without a sound.Just when the soldiers of Qingzhou City in the city attacked the soldiers of Zhao Jun in Wengcheng, the soldiers of Zhao Jun had already climbed up the wall of the south gate.

In order to ambush the Zhao army, most of the Qingzhou soldiers concentrated near the Wengcheng, and the defense on the city wall was very weak.Thousands of Zhao Jun secretly climbed up to seize this section of the city wall.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army in the Wengcheng fought out from the cave of the Tibetan soldiers, and the soldiers of the Zhao Army in the Wengcheng resisted desperately.

Stationed on the city tower was a group of 50 Zhao soldiers who were besieged by more than 300 Qingzhou soldiers.
boom!
The gate of the tower was kicked open, and the soldiers of Qingzhou City frantically poured into the tower. The soldiers of Zhao Jun couldn't resist, and retreated to guard the steps between the first and second floors.

The stairway is very narrow, which is not conducive to soldiers fighting.Therefore, the soldiers of the two armies almost all fought hand-to-hand, and those who put spears, big spears and big swords into the tower are all dead ends.Only the short knife and dagger are the correct weapons.

There is blood everywhere in the tower!
