"General Yu cares about chaos. This battle is like picking up balls on the ground. Picking up one is one. No one says to pick up three balls in one go."

Chen Yuankang felt that Yu Jin was completely out of shape today, far inferior to the brave and resolute Yang Zhong, who crossed the river extremely resolutely and quickly.

"understood."

"Send the order, the whole army will cross the river, aiming at the south gate of Taicheng City." Yu Jin ordered the messenger.

Hearing the other party's order, Chen Yuankang smiled.The so-called authorities are obsessed with onlookers, the outcome of this battle has been decided, there is no suspense before the start of the war, and now it is nothing more than picking the fruits of victory.

Hold the basket firmly and let the fruit lie in it quietly, and that's it.There are not so many odds and risks.If you don't capsize, you will win.

……

Knowing that there was an army crossing the Qinhuai River in the dark, Fan Yi hastily ordered troops in the camp near the earth mountain.Because there were no troops from the headquarters, and there was no unified dispatch by Wang Sengbian, it took a long time to gather [-] soldiers and horses.

Full of anxiety, he led his troops to the place where the enemy army crossed the river near Taishe, only to find that an army had already lined up, waiting for him to come!

No, didn't you say you hit halfway across the river?

Fan Yi was terrified, the speed of crossing the river was too fast, shouldn't the pontoon bridge be erected right now?

"Which branch of the army are you, why did you leave the state and come to Jiankang?"

Fan Yi rode out on his horse and questioned the troops who were within a stone's throw away at the top of his voice.

call out!

An arrow shot down his helmet, and Fan Yi suddenly had long hair and shaved shoulders, looking extremely embarrassed.As he fled back to the main formation, the army on the opposite side burst into loud cheers.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

dong dong dong dong!

For a while, there was loud drumming, without any prior cover of bows and crossbows, the sword and shield soldiers on the opposite side were in front, and the infantry soldiers were behind, and they were already running towards him, with an imposing manner like overwhelming mountains and seas.

Those who ride horses don't talk about martial arts!

Fan Yi cursed in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and parry.

As soon as he made contact, the vigorous and violent aura of the soldiers and horses on the opposite side immediately overwhelmed him, making him breathless.He also saw an acquaintance inside.

Ma Fonian, the white-robed general of the Forbidden Army who was also on duty in the Forbidden Army at the beginning, even if the horse's face was only illuminated by the fire, it was still faintly visible and not difficult to recognize.

He beat the master to death with random punches, and Yang Zhong led his troops to kill Fan Yi's main formation of [-] troops.

What Fan Yi didn't know was that this style of fighting was the consistent fighting style of the White Robe Army. Yang Zhong came from the White Robe Department, and Ma Fo-nian and others were even more loyal to Chen Qingzhi.

The infantry broke through the main formation, and the cavalry on the flanks of the army began to chase and hack. Fan Yi fled in embarrassment with a small number of remnants.

The battle was resolved within a single stick of incense, which was equivalent to taking the Chinese army across the river to meet Yang Zhong's troops, looking at the battlefield full of corpses, and being speechless for a while.

"General Yu, the enemy army is unbearable to fight, and our army's morale is high and brave. Now the enemy's defeated army has retreated to the mound at the south gate of Taicheng City, and their morale is low. The last general suggests taking advantage of the victory to pursue and not giving them time to breathe."

Yang Zhong suppressed the excitement in his heart, cupped his hands and suggested to Jin.

"Okay, you are still the vanguard, and you must break through Xiao Yi's camp!"

Yu Jin said calmly.

It is better to change the plan. Seeing that Yang Zhong defeated the blocking troops sent by Xiao Yi so easily, it can be seen that the Xiangdong King's army is at the end of its strength, and it is time to run out of fuel.

At this time, if you don't beat the dog in the water, do you have to wait for the other party to recover?

After Yang Zhong left with his troops, Yu Jin was still a little worried after thinking about it. He found Hu Sengyou, handed him a wooden box, and said, "This is the fake head of the king of Xiangdong. Take it to Xizhou City , tricked the defenders into surrendering in Kaesong, and then guarded Xizhou City to prevent the soldiers and horses of the King of Eastern Hunan from returning to aid."

"Here!"

Hu Sengyou took the wooden box and left. This military achievement is probably similar to giving it away for nothing, and he almost laughed out loud.

"General Yu, the speed of your troops is precious, so let's follow General Yang. In case Wang Sengbian brings back the main force of the siege, there will be another hard battle."

Chen Yuankang suggested in a low voice.

Yu Jin suddenly understood why Liu Yishou wanted this person to follow him.When Li Chong was attacking the northern Hu people in the border town, Chen Yuankang was by his side to advise.

This guy has a lot of practical experience, and he made his debut very early, and he reacted quickly to sudden military situations.

"Pass down the order and continue to move towards the south gate to meet Yang Zhong's army."

Yu Jin calmly ordered, and after a little rectification of the soldiers and horses, he continued to head towards Xiao Yi's camp.

But at this moment, the literary and talented king of Xiangdong did not expect that he was in a catastrophe.

Chapter 409

Jiankang's outer city wall is made of wooden fences, a product of the Southern Qi Dynasty. It may be okay to defend against bandits, but for the regular army, such defense is nothing.

Therefore, the outer city wall of Taicheng has always been the "real city wall" of Jiankang.

However, the "double wall" and "triple wall" built in Taicheng City are not so much city walls as palace walls. The defense is extremely weak and riddled with holes.

At this moment, the area inside the outer wall of Tai City and outside the triple wall, including the East Palace, the Government Office, and the temporary houses where the rich families lived, was in chaos.There are soldiers under the king of Xiangdong everywhere, killing anyone they see.

These desperadoes are red-eyed, as long as Wang Seng does not order them to stop, then these people will continue to kill to the deepest part of Jiankang Palace.Of course, they are completely unable to break through the triple wall now, so they can only vent their anger on people outside the triple wall.

Yang Kan responded calmly. Seeing that Da Sima Gate was difficult to break through, Wang Sengbian sent troops to go around to the east and concentrate his forces to attack Donghua Gate.Donghua Gate is the residence of the "Left Guard" of the Forbidden Army.These people are not Yang Kan's cronies, but the former troops of the Jiankang Imperial Army.

It stands to reason that this place is a key stronghold in Taicheng, and it is difficult to break through.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Sengbian's elite soldiers came, these people directly gave up the defense of the left guard, opened the Donghua Gate to let Wang Sengbian's elite soldiers enter, and then that wave of people slipped out of Taicheng and escaped while no one was paying attention.

The Donghua Gate fell, and the situation suddenly collapsed.As a last resort, Yang Kan ordered to abandon the gate of Da Sima, and the defenders retreated to the second gate.The double gate only surrounded the palace wall of Jiankang Palace, and could no longer retreat, if it retreated any further, Wang Sengbian's men would enter the palace to "communicate cordially" with Xiao Gang's concubines.

"Father, I can't retreat any longer. If I retreat again, I will enter the palace."

Yang Kan's youngest son, Yang Kun, shouted at the top of his voice.

At this moment, Yang Kan is leading his own soldiers to fight against the enemy, barely able to block the opponent's attack.However, a large part of the defenders of the triple wall did not retreat behind the double wall.

After a long time, Yang Kan, who had changed several knives in his hand, hid behind the double wall to pant, and from time to time, enemy arrows shot in and stuck on the ground.

"How did the triple wall fall?"

Yang Kan asked Yang Kun in a deep voice.

"It's not that Zhou Shizhen, who is in charge of the Forbidden Army in name, opened the Donghua Gate and let Wang Sengbian's men drive straight in."

Yang Kun was speechless, and said angrily.

Fortresses have always been breached from the inside, not to mention the weak triple gate.Yang Kan had known for a long time that Zhou Shizhen was not a good bird, so he was left idle and placed on the left guard side to guard the safety of Jiankang Palace.

Unexpectedly, after the outer wall of Taicheng was broken, this guy's position changed from idle to vital.

"Go to Beishang Pavilion in Hualin Garden, take His Majesty out of Taicheng, and take the waterway from Xuanwu Lake."

Yang Kan said in a low voice, for fear that the soldiers resting around would hear.

"Father..." Yang Kun was in a bit of a dilemma. Nanliang was too pitted, and he was surrounded by scammers. Is it necessary to serve this kind of emperor?

"Go, don't make any noise!"

Yang Kan said impatiently, Yang Kun had to leave with tears in his eyes, reluctant to part.

Not long after he left, Yang Kan suddenly felt a little strange.Ordinarily, the double gate is just a show. Why didn't Wang Sengbian attack the city?

"You climb over the wall and go out to have a look."

Yang Kan said to the soldiers around him.

……

The Xiangdong Wangjun camp outside Taicheng was engulfed by raging fire at this time.There were dead bodies everywhere on the ground, and most of them belonged to civilian husbands and the army of the King of Eastern Hunan.

Yang Zhong looked at all this with a slight frown, feeling strange in his heart.

This kind of feeling is a bit like an otaku chasing a girl, thinking that she is a chaste and strong woman, but after he succeeds, he finds out that this woman is old Si Ji, whose driving skills are more than a dozen ranks higher than his own.

The army of the King of Eastern Hunan was too inexperienced. The forwards led by Yang Zhong passed by, and there was no single enemy.The army rushed into the opponent's camp in one go, and then... the end was that Xiao Yi, Fan Yi and others fled to the north.

If this is to lure the enemy, then the bait laid this time is too big, right?

"How did they get to Jiankang?"

Yang Zhong raised his chin in thought, he never thought that the battle would be so smooth.

"General, in Taicheng, the army of the King of Eastern Hunan has descended from the earth mountain and is preparing to attack."

A scout came to report and said.

"Let Chen Xin take the old white robe to strangle him while his foothold is not stable."

Yang Zhong waved his hand and said.

After a while, another scout came to report.

"General Yang, the enemy army opened the gate of Taicheng and fled from the west gate. Shall we pursue it? Now that the gate of Taicheng is wide open, shall we enter the city?"

The lieutenant asked excitedly.

"No need, set up camp outside the city and wait for the Chinese army from the governor to come."

Yang Zhong felt that this wave of his was enough. Now that the camp of the King's Army in Eastern Hunan had been broken, there was no need to act indiscriminately when the enemy's situation was unknown.Just hold on to the fruits of the current victory.

In fact, Wang Sengbian originally wanted to return to the camp from the original road on the Tushan Mountain, but he didn't expect that a large group of people under the Tushan Mountain surrounded the returning soldiers and slashed at them.

Knowing that the battle situation collapsed, he directly abandoned Xiao Yi without saying a word, ordered someone to open the outer wall gate of Taicheng, and fled from the west gate with the trilogy.

This move was entirely based on the intuition of a general. Up to now, he can't really tell what happened. The only thing that is certain is that the camp outside the city was stolen.

But at this moment, in the North Pavilion of Hualin Garden behind Jiankang Palace, Xiao Gang is like a salted fish basking in the sun on the beach, lying on the soft bed and dozing.Fan, who was named Concubine Shu, was stuffing a cherry into his mouth.

Concubine Shu has a big belly and is already eight months pregnant, and she will give birth soon.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Shizhen opened the Donghua Gate and defected, and the Triple Wall was lost. Now that the Double Gate is in danger, Your Majesty is also requested to come out of Xuanwu Lake and take refuge in Sanwu."

Yang Kun said loudly without any politeness.

In the past, this must have been a crime of deceiving the emperor, but now, no one seems to care.

Emperor?Without soldiers and horses, it is just a dog.

"Go to Sanwu? What are you going to do there?"

Xiao Gang squinted his eyes, lying on the couch with a look of indifference.It's useless to say anything now, it's better to take a rest.

"Your Majesty, the troops of King Xiangdong may soon enter Jiankang Palace."

Yang Kun said emphatically.

"So what?"

Xiao Gang continued to remain unmoved, what Xiao Yi forced the palace, he must die, etc., are all floating clouds.He is tired, let it all be ruined.He had had enough of these days of fear and fear.

"But Your Majesty..."

Yang Kun was incoherent in a hurry, Xiao Gang's chance to survive was bought by his father Yang Kan, although Yang Kan was still there when he left, but once the double wall was breached, his father would die for the country.

How could this bastard Xiao Gang not cherish such an opportunity so much?If you don't want to live, just die quickly!

At this moment, Yang Kan's other son, Yang Qiu, arrived and winked at Yang Kun, who was about to burst into anger.

"Your Majesty, the Xiangdong King's army has retreated, to be precise, it has withdrawn from Taicheng. All of them have withdrawn, and there is no one left."

Ok?A miracle happened?

Xiao Gang sat up instantly, as if he had received a shot in the arm!The whole person looks energetic!

If you can live, who wants to wait to die?

"Good! Good! Your father is worthy of being a famous general! Come on, change my clothes, I am going to comfort the soldiers guarding the city. Hahahahahaha!"

Xiao Gang smiled heartily.

Yang Kun and Yang Qiu looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness.

The emperor in front of him can hardly be described in words.If I really want to say, probably... just a piece of trash who is too stupid to read.

Yang Kan's two sons didn't dare to leave, they waited until Xiao Gang changed his clothes, and then he was relieved.They wouldn't want to stay here for a minute if they could.I don't even want to have anything to do with Xiao Gang.

Just as the group was about to leave for the outer city wall of Taicheng, Yang Kan rushed over sweating profusely, his face full of anxiety.

"General Yang came just in time, I was going to find you."

Xiao Gang said with a smile on his face, he was full of trust and gratitude to the mainstay who defeated Xiao Yi.This emotion is definitely from the heart.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yishou sent a large army to surround Taicheng, and played the banner of Xiao Huan, the descendant of the former prince Xiao Tong!"
