The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 324 Capture the thief and capture the king, win in an instant
Dong Yan responded with two gunshots, which did not hit anyone, but also showed his determination to fight to the death.

Dong Yan sneered and said to the people around him: "When my father brings the artillery, they will surely surrender."

In a short while, Dong Rong led the army to arrive and ordered his subordinates to take their men and horses to attack the city. He and Dong Yan joined forces and set up artillery to attack the city.

Pu Jie and Wang Yongshou looked at the crowds in the west city gate, there were no less than 2000 people, and the rest of the city gates were no less than 8000 people. The information was wrong, and the Dong family had at least [-] people.

How did they gather so many people?
After all, the Dong family is a thousand-year-old clan, and there are many small families that depend on them for survival. As the landlords of Hedong, they have many tenants.

Usually, they hide the number of tenants and land under their hands by means of means to evade taxes.

The imperial court didn't know much about their specific situation, and in recent days, Mrs. Dong actively contacted the rich families around him, and some people who were close to him had already voted.

It took Dong Rong a lot of effort to get two cannons. He attacked the transport team in the afternoon but failed to grab many muskets. At this time, there were only more than 100 muskets.

But he still has a back hand. He sent someone to secretly rob an arsenal from the former Huns' territory, pretend to be a caravan, and under the banner of the Ministry of Households, it will be transported to Anyi in three days.

This is the fundamental reason why he is confident that he can keep Anyi.

If it wasn't for the imminent arrival of the new imperial army, he would still guard Dong's ancestral land, and when the firearms arrived, he would look down on Anyi.

He wanted to break through Tongguan, then let the Qiang rebels occupy Dashanguan, cut off both ends of Chang'an, and then let the Xiongnu rebels go south to guard the Yellow River ferry, and hold the emperor in Chang'an.

Great idea, but very difficult to execute.The rich family of the big man can still give Dong some face, and then he will secretly eradicate their leader. It only takes some time to control the army in his own hands.

It is difficult for foreign races, and it is difficult to impress them with the price I can offer.I have spent a lot of money in contact with them several times, but with little effect.

Dong Rong's thoughts were interrupted by Dong Yan, who directed Dong Yan to prepare to bombard the West Gate.

Liu Bian saw them pull out the cannons, and there were cannons on his side of the city, and with the help of the height of the city walls, he could shoot farther.

Pujie went to the east gate, while Wang Yongshou stayed at the west gate. The north and south gates were guarded by generals.There have been rumbling cannons in Beicheng, and it seems that a fight has already begun.

"My lord, the thieves have arrived, and they are about to attack the city in a short while, please retreat!" Wang Yongshou saw Liu Bian looking down from the battlements, and advised him to leave.

Liu Bian pulled Wang Yongshou over and pushed him to the ground.Wang Yongshou was about to speak when a shell hit the gate tower, killing several soldiers and burying a cannon.

Wang Yongshou was held down by Liu Bian and couldn't get up, he couldn't stop shouting: "Fight back, fight back!"

The rate of fire of the artillery was not fast. Dong Rong and the others hit the gate tower with one shot, and the other shot into the city. Liu Bian turned his head and saw a house was on fire, and cursed secretly: "These bastards don't even have the cannons!" some."

Liu Bian let go of Wang Yongshou and asked two guards to protect him.

Liu Bian led Zhou Bo to move on the city wall with his waist bent, avoiding the burning objects falling from the burning city gate tower.

I thought to myself, this group of people actually went to bomb the city wall, if they went to bomb the city gate, it would only take a few shots to blow the city gate open.

The defenders on the city wanted to destroy Dong Rong's artillery, but failed to hit it after firing four cannons.

Instead, it aroused Dong Rong's anger. Two shells hit the city gate, and the city gate creaked.

"My lord! My lord! It's not good!" A small school ran to the top of the wall and shouted to Wang Yongshou.

"What happened?" Wang Yongshou asked.

"The guard, Pu Jie, has cooperated with the enemy and has opened the east gate to let the rebels enter the city. Several rebels in the city joined forces to open the south gate. Now only the north gate and west gate remain intact." The school knelt down and said to Wang Yongshou.

Wang Yongshou took two steps back: "A thief in Pujie is a vain minister!"

Liu Bian supported him: "Turning into the city now at night, relying on the streets and alleys to delay with them. Waiting in the tower will only let them mobilize artillery to bombard us as targets. Just wait for the reinforcements to arrive in the morning tomorrow. The siege can be solved, and all Dong's rebels will be wiped out."

Wang Yongshou stabilized his figure: "My lord is right, you quickly entered the city and relied on the terrain to block."

"Da da da, da da da." There were bursts of gunshots, and Liu Bian could tell that it was the sound of machine guns firing, not from the rebels under the city.

It seemed to be coming from the city wall, Liu Bian could tell by the light of the fire that it was coming from the north city gate, where there was still resistance.

Liu Bian ordered a small school to go to the north gate to inform the defenders to retreat and go to the prefect's mansion to defend.

He, Zhou Bo and others rushed to the post station quickly, and now he was very worried about the safety of Bao Si and Zhao Feiyan.

The rebels had no artillery before, and they were not afraid that they could break through the guards of the post station.

It's different now with artillery. Cannonballs don't recognize people.

After arriving at the post station, Liu Bian saw Zhao Feiyan commanding the guards to clean up the corpses on the ground, and seeing Liu Bian coming, he quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, these people are the internal agents of the Dong family who sneaked into the city, and they want to set fire to the post station." , was killed by us."

"Where's the queen?" Liu Bian didn't see Bao Si, so he was a little worried.

"Your Majesty is writing letters in the house." Zhao Feiyan said seriously.

Liu Bian stepped into the house, Bao Si had already written the letter and was putting it on the carrier pigeon.

Seeing Liu Bian come back, he asked with concern: "Your Majesty is not in any danger, is he?"

"No, what are you doing?"

Liu Bian didn't know who Bao Si was writing to, so he asked.

Bao Si handed the letter to Liu Bian, Liu Bian opened it and understood, it turned out that Bao Si saw that two city gates were broken, and was afraid that Liu Bian would be in danger, so she was going to send the guards outside the city to escort him into the city.

Liu Bian: "There is no need to inform them, I want to see their abilities."

At this time, Du Yu and Ding Feng each led a hundred elite cavalry, rushed to the place where Dong Rong was located, who made Dong Rong hang a big banner.

The imperial guard Jingqi was like two arrows, breaking through Dong's rebel army. Dong Yan hurriedly ordered people to stop him, but Ding Feng chopped off his head with a knife.

Blood sprayed Dong Rong's face. Before Dong Rong could feel sad, Du Yu shot him off his horse, and his life and death were unknown.

Several soldiers tried to drag him away, but they were attacked by the guards and all died under the swords of the guards.

The imperial guard Jingqi rushed past the rebel team, drew a semicircle, turned his horse's head and came back again.

During the march, I kept raising my gun and shooting, and the rebels fell down. Then I turned the horse's head again to load the ammunition.

The two main generals of the rebel army were decapitated, and the rest of the rebel army fled in all directions.

Du Yu and Ding Feng were worried about Liu Bian's safety, so they dared not pursue him.

Du Yu held up his saber and said, "Follow me quickly into the city..."
