Chapter 169 Breaking the City
Following Luo Tianbao's order, the rebel army immediately began to take action. When everyone rushed to the bottom of the city to see the south gate open, there was a chaos at the top of the city. Everyone was not polite and rushed into Yichang.
The rebels defending the city were obviously unprepared for all this, and were caught off guard by the rebels. After a night of fierce fighting, by dawn, the rebels were obviously unable to withstand it, and began to retreat across the board. By noon the next day, the rebels
Yichang was basically captured.
The battle against the rebels was extremely successful. According to the statistics afterwards, more than 600 prisoners were captured, including important officials such as the governor of Yizhou. Luo Tianbao immediately led people to deal with them, and those who were willing to surrender were adapted on the spot.
, who was unwilling to surrender and released on the spot. Baida was not very happy with this plan. According to the wishes of the Nine-Headed Condor, those who were unwilling to surrender should be executed immediately to serve as a warning to others.
However, Luo Tianbao felt that letting these people go back now would not only promote the prestige of the rebel army, but also cause panic in other areas of Yizhou and shake the morale of the rebel army. This was also supported by Li Congyun and others, Ji Baida
Seeing that most people said this, I had no choice but to accept it.
However, there was one thing that did not make Luo Tianbao very happy, that is, the rebel army looted the city after entering the city. Luo Tianbao was a bodyguard and disliked this kind of thing. His original intention was to restrain his subordinates, but Li Congyun and others said
Changjiu could not be attacked, and our own side suffered heavy casualties. If the soldiers were not allowed to take the opportunity to vent, it would be detrimental to morale.
Of course Luo Tianbao understood that this was just an excuse, but he also knew how many of these thousands of people really wanted to save the people from the fire and water? Most people followed his father and son just to seek wealth. How could there be such an opportunity to make a fortune now?
Can he miss it? If he insists on stopping him, everyone may not say anything, but they will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts. From now on, they are debating whether he can command them. In desperation, Luo Tianbao has no choice but to turn a blind eye to this.
, it just hurts the people of Yichang.
On the third day, the city basically returned to calm. Luo Tianbao met with the meritorious soldiers at the governor's office. Among them, Wei Cheng led the team to open the city gate at night, which was undoubtedly the first achievement. Luo Tianbao promoted him to one level on the spot and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold.
By the way, he asked about how they entered the city, and Wei Cheng suddenly became very excited when talking about these things.
It turned out that that night, Wei Cheng led more than 90 suicide squads to the Earth Temple to meet up with Kula Qiya and the others. After that, the group first went to Yishui outside Yichang City, and then swam from there to the drainage ditch. Fortunately, it rained that night.
, the rain disrupted the sight and hearing of the defenders on the city, so everyone reached the gap in the drainage channel smoothly, and then Kurachya and everyone sneaked into the city from here one by one.
There was also a bit of a joke during this process, because Kurachya and the others originally made the gap according to their own body shape, so the hole was not big, and it seemed a bit small for others to come in and out. Others were fine, but Wei Cheng
He was big and clumsy, so he got stuck while crossing the hole and almost drowned. Fortunately, everyone pushed and pulled him in the end to get him through, but his clothes were all scratched.
After entering the city, everyone quietly went ashore and rested for a while. When Wei Cheng saw that there was no shortage of people, he led everyone to rush to the south gate. The defenders only paid attention to the situation outside the city. They were not prepared for the enemy to come from behind and were immediately beaten.
They were caught off guard, and together with Wei Cheng, Kula Qiya and others who were extremely brave, they finally successfully occupied the south gate and cooperated with the main force outside the city to capture Yichang.
When everyone listened to Wei Cheng's story, they were all surprised when it came to the thrilling parts, and burst into laughter when it came to the fun parts. However, in the end everyone admitted that the great defeat of Yichang was all due to Luo Tianbao's plan. Many of the original rebels
People were not convinced by this young master, thinking that he was just relying on his father's shadow, but after this incident, everyone changed their view of him.
After rewarding the meritorious ministers, everyone discussed the next step. The rebels suffered a lot in the battle of Yichang, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack in Yizhou for a while. This was exactly what the rebels wanted to do to seize the entire Yizhou.
There was a great opportunity in the border area, so everyone discussed a plan for Baida. Li Congyun led the army to continue the pursuit and strive to successfully capture the entire territory of Yizhou. Luo Tianbao led some people to stay in Yichang to coordinate the overall situation. After everyone discussed the plan for the next day, Li and Li
He led the team to set off, while Luo Tianbao led others to stay behind to deal with the aftermath.
Luo Tianbao was dealing with military affairs that day, when suddenly Kula Kiya and Qing Lan came to the door. Luo Tianbao understood that they must be about Ye Di and immediately took the time to meet them.
"This time we were able to conquer Yichang only because of the efforts of these two young friends. I will never forget this kindness."
"Stop talking nonsense, what about the agreement between us?" Kurachya still looked cold. In fact, Luo Tianbao had always been curious about what kind of experience could make a teenage boy become like this.
"What agreement?"
Kura Qiya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this: "Stop pretending, I mean Senior Sister Ye."
"Oh, you said this, don't worry, I won't break my promise, Miss Ye, I will definitely let it go, but the current situation, both of you know, there is still a war in Yizhou, there are some things that we really can't care about
Come on, how about I promise you that as long as the war in Yizhou comes to an end, I will let Miss Ye go?"
Kura Kiya and Qing Lan looked at each other, looking a little dissatisfied, but now the initiative was with Luo Tianbao and they had nothing to do. Kura Kiya could only say angrily: "You'd better keep your word.
otherwise..."
Kura Killua didn't finish his words, but of course Luo Tianbao understood what he meant. He immediately reassured the two of them. Originally, he wanted to keep the two of them in the Yamen for dinner, but Kura Killua and the others refused.
Luo Tianbao had no choice but to send them away. In fact, he was a little concerned at this time and didn't know how to deal with Ye Di.
It was obvious that after Yichang broke the news, his father would soon know Ye Di's origins. Many things could not be hidden, so how should he explain to his father and save Ye Di's life? For this reason
Luo Tianbao was quite hesitant.
In the following days, good news came one after another. The pursuit by Ji Baida and others went very smoothly. The entire Yizhou was almost under the control of the rebel army. Reinforcements were also sent from the direction of Jizhou. On this day, there were another 500 people.
When they arrived in Yichang, Luo Tianbao, as the coach here, naturally had to come out to greet them. However, to his surprise, the leader of this batch of reinforcements was actually Pan Hong.
"Pan Protector, why are you here?" The old friend was naturally very happy to meet Luo Tianbao.
Pan Hong said with a smile: "The general is very happy to hear that Sima and your side are going well. It just so happens that the situation in Jizhou has also stabilized. Therefore, he plans to personally lead the army to Yizhou to take charge, so he sent me to come first.
stand."
"Daddy, the old man is coming?"
"Yes, let's discuss the details after returning to the city."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianbao immediately had no choice but to welcome Pan Hong and others into the city. When Luo Tianbao and Pan Hong sat down face to face at the governor's office, they first chatted about the situation of the war, and then the conversation gradually turned to Lin Yunfei's purpose for his visit.
"Sima, do you know why the general came to Yizhou in person this time?"
"Now that Yizhou is at your fingertips, the next step should be to go west to rescue my senior brother."
