After more than four months of fighting in the Battle of Jinsha City, both the Sichuan and Zhen armies have reached their limits, especially the Zhen army, which is on the verge of death. At this time, Yang Zhao saw the opportunity and commanded the Sichuan army, preparing to make the final blow to the Zhen army.
Yang Zhao deliberately deployed the main force of the Sichuan Army outside the east city of Jinsha City in order to attract all the Zhen troops guarding the city to the east city. In secret, he quietly arranged an elite Sichuan Army of more than 10,000 people to ambush in Jinsha City. outside the west city.
When the battle started, sure enough, all the Zhen troops in the city were attracted to the east city to resist the Sichuan troops attacking the city outside the city. Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely and the fight was inextricable, Yang Zhao ordered the troops who were ambushing outside the west city. The Sichuan army launched a sneak attack.
The number of Sichuan troops ambushing outside the West City was not large, just over 10,000, but they were the most elite group of soldiers in the Sichuan army. After receiving Yang Zhao's order, more than 10,000 Sichuan troops rushed out of the Sichuan camp like tigers emerging from their cages. Go straight to Jinsha City opposite.
Now there are only 30,000 Zhenjun left in the city. To resist the strong attack of more than 100,000 Sichuan troops outside the east city, they can only concentrate all their forces in the east city. Moreover, the Zhenjun did not expect that the Sichuan army would mainly attack from the east and attack from the west. Face-to-face sneak attack tactics.
There were very few Zhenjun left on the west side of the city. When they saw the Sichuan army suddenly coming, it was already too late to ask for help from the east side.
More than 10,000 Sichuan army elites went into battle lightly, without armor and shirtless. In an instant, they rushed to the bottom of the city wall. Immediately afterwards, ladders were set up and people swarmed up.
How could the hundreds of Zhenjun guarding the west city withstand the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Sichuan troops? The two sides fought for a short time, and hundreds of Zhenjun were killed by the Sichuan army. Then, the Sichuan army took advantage of the situation and invaded the city.
The news of the fall of the West City soon spread to the East City. When the soldiers of the Zhen Army who were fighting bloody battles heard the news, they all felt as if they had been struck by thunder. Duo's fighting spirit was completely shattered.
At this time, people had no intention of fighting and could no longer withstand the strong attack of the Sichuan army outside the city. The soldiers retreated steadily. In less than half an hour, the Zhen army was pushed off the city wall by the Sichuan army and routed into the city.
The morale of the Sichuan soldiers who had repelled the Zhen army was greatly boosted. People cheered and shouted and rushed down the city wall, opened the city gate and let the soldiers outside the city into the city.
For a time, the Sichuan troops outside the city poured into the city like a tide. They could not stop it and could not push back. The battle situation at this time was in line with the saying that the army was defeated like a mountain. The Zhen army collapsed, and the Sichuan army went all out. , drove straight into the city.
The generals of the Sichuan Army who were fighting outside the city all had tears in their eyes. This battle was too difficult. It lasted more than four months, and there were countless dead and wounded soldiers. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and finally it was our side. achieved final victory.
Seeing that the Sichuan flag was finally planted on the top of Jinsha City, Yang Zhao looked up to the sky with emotion and sighed, his lips trembled with excitement, and murmured: "Thanks to the spirit of the late king in heaven, our Sichuan army will finally annihilate the rebels and suppress the rebellion. !¡±
Generals Lu You, Chen Lihua, and Chai Song were also excited. People unanimously gave up their prejudices, stepped forward one after another, and hugged Yang Zhao tightly.
On the other hand, Li Shu in the city was standing in the attic of the City Lord's Mansion, looking down at the smoke-filled Jinsha City, and couldn't help but sigh quietly: "Could it be that my generosity has really been exhausted"
There were many Zhenjun generals in the attic. People came forward one after another and said anxiously: "General, the city has been destroyed. Now we must escape from the city quickly!"
"Escape?" Li Shu smiled, but his smile was uglier than crying. He looked around and said, "Don't you hear, what are the Sichuan troops shouting now?"
At this time, there were shouts of killing from all directions, southeast, northwest, and faint slogans of "Kill Li Shu and punish the traitors" could be heard vaguely. Li Shu shook his head and said: "The Sichuan people hate me to the core, how can I escape!"
¡°General, even if we fight with the Sichuan people to pieces, we will ensure that the general breaks through!¡± All the generals said in unison.
Li Shu is now discouraged, or in other words, desperate. So what if he escapes from the city? Comeback? There is no place for him in Zhendi, and the people of Sichuan will never let him go. Sooner or later, he will inevitably die.
He looked around at the generals, waved his hands, and said softly: "Since I raised the army to fight against Sichuan, I have caused the blood of many loyal people to be spilled on the battlefield. In the end, I was unable to restore the country. This is because I, Li Shu, am incompetent. I will not regret my death, but generals It¡¯s different. You can take my head now and offer it to the people of Sichuan. Maybe you can save your life. In the future, you can try to restore our Zhen Kingdom"
"General" Before he could finish his words, the generals around him had already knelt down and cried.
Li Shu also shed tears when he saw this, but?There is still a glimmer of hope for life, so how can he be willing to die? But now he really couldn't see a way to survive. Instead of letting all the generals accompany him to death, it would be better for him to die alone to save the other brothers.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword. Without thinking, he flipped his wrist and placed the sword directly on his neck. He said loudly: "It is Li Shu who is incompetent and cannot lead all brothers to restore the country. Li Shu can only wait until the next life to repay the kindness of following my brother" As he spoke, he was about to wipe off the edge of his sword.
The generals saw this so clearly that they were all scared out of their wits. The generals who were close to him rushed forward and grabbed Li Shu's wrist tightly, while the generals who were far away from him crawled forward and held him tightly. Holding Li Shu's legs tightly, people cried: "The general cannot commit suicide!"
Li Shu still wanted to get rid of everyone, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't break away from everyone's embrace. At this moment, suddenly, a loud horn sounded again outside the city, and at the same time, drums sounded like thunder.
Hearing the sound of horns and drums outside the city, Li Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Sichuan army had already broken the city, but reinforcements had been dispatched. While he was sighing, a loyal general suddenly shouted: "General, there are reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming from outside the city, and they are our reinforcements!"
What? Hearing the shouts of Zhenjiang, people couldn't believe their ears, and they all looked for it.
Just outside the west city, another large team came. Because the distance was too far, they could not see clearly what they were wearing. However, people could see the huge Zhen flags flying in the team.
The opponent was not flying the Sichuan flag, nor the flag of the Chiyue Kingdom, but the Zhen flag. This was so surprising.
Their troops are all inside Jinsha City. There is no army outside at all, but where did this Zhen army come from? And looking at the size of the team, the soldiers were spread all over the mountains and plains, boundless, and at least there were no less than 100,000 soldiers.
Looking at the army outside the west city under the banner of Zhen, Li Shu was dumbfounded. General Zhen was dumbfounded. Not to mention them, even the Sichuan army that had just invaded Jinsha City was dumbfounded.
This sudden army broke through the Sichuan Army's West Camp, and poured in like an overwhelming force from outside the West City of Jinsha City. Looking around, it was dark, like a black carpet spreading quickly on the ground. In just a blink of an eye, the front troops rushed over. The west city gate is still wide open now. They rushed into the city without any hindrance. After entering the city, these soldiers cut down the Sichuan troops when they saw them and killed the Sichuan people when they saw them. They didn't even understand. What's going on? The Sichuan army was so slaughtered that they cried for their father and mother, and fled in all directions.
The army that suddenly appeared outside the West City was too numerous. There were hundreds of thousands of them. They chased and killed the Sichuan Army. Not only did they defeat the 10,000 elite Sichuan Army who attacked the West City, they also defeated the Sichuan Army that broke in from the East City. They pushed him out.
This was not the end. After pushing the main force of the Sichuan Army out of the city, they followed the trend and pursued and killed the defeated Sichuan Army. They pursued and killed the defeated Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army of more than 100,000 people was completely overwhelmed by this enemy force that fell from the sky. Now, the front army is retreating, and the rear army is still following up, retreating forward and rushing back, the two collide, and the casualties caused by just trampling on each other and collision are countless.
Seeing that our own soldiers who had just entered the city were pushed out of the city by the enemy troops, and even the enemy troops were still vigorously pursuing the victory and chasing them out of the city, Yang Zhao, Lu You and other Sichuan generals who thought that the overall situation was determined were all dumbfounded. , stunned there, unable to recover for a long time.
Where did this enemy army come from? Not only were they numerous in number, but they were also well-equipped and well-trained. When they were chasing the Sichuan army, they were like a whirlwind, killing the Sichuan army until they were defeated one after another, without the ability to fight back.
While Yang Zhao, Lu You and other generals were still dazed, the defeated troops in front had retreated to their side. One of the Sichuan generals, covered in blood, ran up to them and screamed: "Generals, I The army fell into a trap. It turned out that the rebels had ambushed an ambush of more than 100,000 people outside the city. Now the rebels have fought back and fought out of the city. It is really difficult for our brothers to resist. Generals, please quickly order the withdrawal. If there is another If you wait just a moment, all our brothers in the army will be dead!"
Yang Zhao finally came to his senses, but his head also buzzed, and his body on the horse swayed from side to side, almost falling off the horse.
He now has no idea what happened, why the originally guaranteed victory of the battle took a sudden turn for the worse, and such a change occurred.
¡°General, order the withdrawal quickly, it¡¯s too late!¡± The Sichuan general who retreated from defeat was so anxious that his features were distorted and the corners of his eyes were about to burst.
Yang Zhao was completely confused now, and his mind could no longer function normally. He nodded blankly on his horse and said: "Withdrawwithdraw the troops"
Before he finished speaking, the Sichuan general couldn't wait to turn around and shouted: "Withdraw the troops, the general has already"The order has been given to withdraw the troops. Brothers, retreat quickly! "
The Sichuan Army could not resist the new enemy force. Now that they heard that they could retreat, people no longer dared to fight, so they turned around and ran back. Suddenly, the Sichuan Army of more than 100,000 people began to be defeated across the board.
But how could the enemy let them escape so easily? The people made sharp whistles, carried the Sichuan army in their arms, and then killed them. Even though the Sichuan army had fled back to the camp, the enemy troops behind did not stop chasing them. They followed them one by one and continued to chase the Sichuan army.
