On this end, the eldest prince left at night, and the other defenders in the city didn't know it. However, in the middle of the day, they realized that something was wrong.
At that time, Ling Yue had launched another all-out attack. In the city, the left wing of the Changsha soldiers has been broken through across the board, and the Ganzhou soldiers have penetrated into the heart of Changsha city one after another. As for the main city of South Gate, the eldest prince had always been in charge, but even after Ganzhou soldiers rushed to the top of the city, there was still no sign of him.
In desperation, the city guard sent people to Shizi's Mansion to find out what was going on. The answer he got was that the Shizi's Mansion was in chaos, and the people in the mansion packed their bags in panic and tried to escape from the city. After asking, I found out that the eldest prince had disappeared at dawn.
At this moment, the guard was horrified. For a moment, he didn't know whether the eldest prince had escaped or was harmed.
However, as a result, the military morale dissipated in an instant.
"His Highness is gone, so why fight?"
"His Highness is probably killed by assassins! Forget it, let it go, let it go."
"Who said that? I heard from a fellow servant in the Prince's Mansion that our Highness has already escaped!"
…
As a result, the swords, guns, swords and halberds were all scattered on the ground, and the royal flag at the top of the city was also hung with a white flag.
By the end of the Shen Dynasty, half of Changsha City had been replaced by the royal flag.
On the other side of the Xiangjiang River, Xu Lang suffered from the lack of large warships, so even though he collected a lot of fishing boats, he did not dare to cross the river easily to attack them.
He was waiting for news about Zeng Dalong and Ni Zhongyi, and also for news about Wei Dayong. As long as the tens of thousands of Changsha garrison troops in the western suburbs were defeated, with the strength of Wei Dayong's navy and the two armies united, crossing the river should not be difficult.
"General Xu, for some reason, the enemy warships suddenly went downstream one after another!"
Just when he was bored with waiting, a sergeant opened the tent and came in, bringing a strange news.
"What?!"
Xu Lang was shocked when he heard this and immediately started shooting.
"Come on, take me to see it!"
With that said, he had no time to ask further questions, strode out of the tent, quickly got on his horse, and ran towards the river with Sun Er and other guards.
Not long after, I arrived at the riverside and saw that about half a mile away, the enemy's warships were moving downstream. Looking at the other side, except for a few small fishing boats, no warships could be seen.
"Haha, God help me!"
Xu Lang couldn't help laughing.
"Brothers, it goes without saying that General Ling over there must have defeated Changsha City, so these naval forces fled in panic. Alas, it is a pity that General Wei failed to free his hands, otherwise, he would have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and fight These drowned dogs are also good!"
Xu Lang was alert, and when he saw that situation, he thought of the war on the other side. He thought that the only thing that could make these warships rush downstream was bad news, that is, the city of Changsha might not be saved.
But isn’t the eldest prince always popular? Why, at this point, no one is willing to fight to the death for him?
For a moment, Xu Lang couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Come here, prepare the boat and cross the river!"
Xu Lang gave the order succinctly, no matter what his situation, you run away, I am still eager to do so!
"As you command!"
Sun Er cupped his hands to receive the order, and soon he ordered the soldiers to pass it on to the entire army.
Half an hour later, hundreds of fishing boats set off to the other side.
Another half an hour later, most of Xu Lang's soldiers miraculously crossed the river without encountering any obstacles.
The riverside was in a mess. Weapons, armor, and flags were scattered all over the place. It was obvious that they were running in a hurry. After asking the braver fishermen, Xu Lang found out that it was Ling Yue who had already conquered the main city of Changsha, which frightened the navy so much that they fled in a hurry because they were afraid of being attacked from both sides.
"Haha, we got it, it takes no effort at all! All the soldiers are arrayed by the river. No one is allowed to enter the city without my order!"
After saying that, Xu Lang rode ahead and headed towards the city.
Only the soldiers were left, holding weapons and looking at each other.
