Chapter 184 Bloody Linxiang

Chapter 183: Bloody Linxiang

On August 14, the [-]th year of Qianyuan, Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao joined forces in Xiangcheng.

At this moment, Linxiang City was filled with gunpowder and smoke, and Deng Jun's onslaught for several days couldn't take it down. In desperation, he could only temporarily besiege Linxiang City.

At the head of Linxiang City, the King of Xiang was wearing a battle armor and holding a sword, standing on the top of the city, looking indifferently at the Deng Jun camp outside the city.

At this time, the state of Hunan was at the end of its rope, and the only 2 soldiers in the entire state of Hunan were concentrated in Linxiang City. After several days of bloody fighting, only less than 10,000 of the [-] Hunan troops were left. , and many of them were wounded, but there were [-]+ Deng Jun outside the city.

"This king of Xiang is really stubborn. He is still like this, and he still refuses to surrender." In Deng Jun's camp, Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the devastated Linxiang city wall, and sighed.

"Yeah, Yanzhao, do you know that when I first entered Jingnan, except for Tang and Linyuan, the golden fruit old man, most of the cities were waiting for the wind, but I didn't expect to encounter a hard bone in the end. " Chang Yuchun also sighed, remembering that since the march, except for the battle between Zuo Tang and Lin Yuan, the others have directly taken over the city.

Seeing that Chang Yuchun mentioned being Tang and Linyuan, Yang Yanzhao showed a worried expression on his face, and said: "Yuchun, you are doing Tang and Linyuan's business, I am afraid that after you return to Wancheng, many people in the court will impeach you. Don't you worry?"

Although this matter will not involve Yang Yanzhao, Chang Yuchun has known him for many years and has fought side by side many times, so he is still a little worried about Chang Yuchun.

But Chang Yuchun said indifferently: "These are expected, there is nothing to worry about, besides, I don't regret it, the king will understand me, how do those rotten scholars in the court know about Jingnan's situation, don't worry about it?" How can Jingnan be at peace after a massacre."

Yang Yanzhao nodded. To be honest, if he hadn't been cruel enough to Chang Yuchun, he might have caused a massacre in Xiajun, until the Jingnan people were terrified.

"Since you know what's in your mind, I can't say anything more. Let's talk about it now. The last elite of Xiang Kingdom are in Linxiang City. We have been attacking for several days. What should we do next?" Yang Yanzhao said.

Chang Yuchun thought for a while, and said: "Take a few days off and continue the onslaught, and this time we will attack together with the four sects, trying to take Linxiang City within one day. I have a hunch that the King of Xiang will not surrender. Instead of letting If the king of Xiang has illusions, he might as well attack Linxiang with all his might, as long as Linxiang city is defeated, Guiyang and Lingling can go down without a fight."

In the next few days, Deng Jun did not make any movement, which made the King of Xiang very puzzled. Originally, the King of Xiang thought that Deng Jun was still thinking about persuading him to surrender, but he didn't see a single envoy of Deng Jun in the past few days.

"Liu Xiang, General Xing, what do you think Deng Jun is thinking? Why hasn't he attacked for several days?" King Xiang asked Liu Hong and Xing Rong.

Liu Hong didn't know anything about marching and fighting, and he couldn't figure out what kind of tricks Deng Jun was trying to play.

However, Xing Rong, the general of Hunan, guessed something. Although his ability is far inferior to Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao, as a commander for many years, he still has this military quality, so he said: "Your Majesty, I think Deng The army is recharging its energy and preparing to give us the final blow."

After King Xiang heard this, he was not panicked at all, and said firmly: "In other words, the next will be the most difficult days, hehe, I want to see what other means Deng Jun has. Xiangcheng, if you don’t pay the price in blood, don’t even think about entering Linxiang City.”

After Deng Jun rested for a few days, he once again launched a fierce attack on Linxiang City, and it was still an unreserved onslaught. Yang Yanzhao and Chang Yuchun divided the soldiers and horses into four, surrounded Linxiang City, and then the four together To attack, Zhang Fei attacked the east gate, Wang Yanzhang attacked the west gate, Yue Yun attacked the south gate, and Pang De attacked the north gate.

Immediately, there were shouts of killing everywhere around Linxiang City, and the Hunan Army was divided into four to resist desperately. However, the strength of the scattered Hunan Army became weaker, and all branches were crumbling under the wave-like attack of Deng Army.

"Boom!" Deng Jun stormed for a day, and the first thing that collapsed was the east gate that Zhang Fei was attacking. Zhang Fei took the lead and took the lead in killing the top of the city. He killed and dispersed the Hunan Army at the top of the city, and opened the top of the city with soldiers and horses.

As soon as the east gate opened, Deng Jun swarmed in, and the Hunan Army was defeated.

"My lord, the east gate is broken, and the city can no longer be defended. Please break through quickly." At this time, Yang Jing brought his own soldiers to King Xiang at the north gate, and said.

Faced with Yang Jing's suggestion to break through, King Xiang shook his head helplessly, saying: "I will not retreat, this time I will live and die with Linxiang City."

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that King Xiang refused to break through, Yang Jing was very anxious.

But the King of Xiang was very resolute, saying: "General Yang, you don't need to persuade me any more. The outer city is lost, and I still have the royal city. If I don't fight until every soldier dies, I will never let Deng people get involved in our Xiangjiang Mountains. General Yang , go and inform General Xing to quickly retreat into the king’s city and fight Deng’s army again.”

Yang Jing was very surprised. He didn't expect that the always weak king of Xiang would have such a tough side. He was really impressed. Since the king of Xiang had the determination to die for his country, he Yang Jing would not fall behind, so he ordered Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, Your Majesty, let's retreat into the royal city and fight Deng Jun again."

Soon, Yang Jing sent someone to inform Xing Rong to lead his troops back into the king's city, while he protected the king of Xiang and retreated. Into the city.

When King Xiang and Yang Jing retreated to the center of the city, they met Xing Rong, but at this time Deng Jun had already killed him. Yang Jing looked at King Xiang and Xing Rong, gritted his teeth, and said, "General, You protect the king and retreat into the royal city, and I will lead my troops to block Deng Jun." After saying that, he rushed out with a group of soldiers and horses.

King Xiang and Xing Rong didn't have time to stop, Yang Jing had already gone out, the two looked at Yang Jingyuan's back with tears in their eyes, turned their heads and retreated towards Wangcheng.

With Yang Jing blocking, Xiang Wang and Xing Rong finally retreated into Xiang Wang Palace smoothly, but Yang Jing was not so lucky. He met Deng Jun general Yue Yun, and after a few tricks, he was defeated by Yue Yun's general. The hammer was crushed to death, and the rest of the Hunan army had dispersed, but there were still many stragglers who persisted in street fighting with Deng's army in the city.

"General Huichang, General Yang, the last general beheaded Yang Jing, the general of the Hunan army, but King Xiang and Xing Rong have already retreated into the king's city, and the last general can't catch up. Please come down to the two generals." After Rong entered the Hunan Palace, Yue Yun immediately came to report to Yang Yanzhao and Chang Yuchun.

Yang Yanzhao nodded, and said: "It's okay, General Yue Yun, you go to clear the outer city first, and then arrange for the brothers to rest. I'm tired from fighting all day today, and this is the only royal city left in Hunan. Don't worry, first Let’s clean up the outer city.”

"Here!" Yue Yun responded, and then led a group of soldiers to clean up the scattered soldiers of the Hunan Army in the city.

At dusk, the entire city of Linxiang fell silent, and all the soldiers of the Deng Army were recharging their energy, waiting to break through the last fortress of Hunan in one fell swoop tomorrow.

Although the battle is over, there are still many Deng Jun soldiers cleaning up the corpses inside and outside the city. This battle was too tragic, and the casualties were too great. After entering Linxiang City, if someone can overlook Linxiang City from the air, they will find that the inside and outside of Linxiang City are stained red with blood. It is not an exaggeration to describe Linxiang as bloody.
