When the city gate was opened, it happened that Zhou Zhi was inspecting the barracks of the frontline military camp. When he saw this situation, he immediately took out his clairvoyance and looked at the city tower.
After watching for a while, Zhou Zhi's face turned red with excitement.
"Give me the order! Attack! Attack! Go and seize the city gate tower immediately!! Hurry!!!"
Adhering to the spirit of seizing the opportunity before it comes back, Zhou Zhi personally led more than a thousand soldiers of the Liberation Army who had gathered in a hurry to rush to the city gate tower, and was welcomed by the Han soldiers who guarded the city gate tower.
The signers led them, showed them the direction, and told them that the gate of the city was already under their control.
The opportunity to destroy the city has arrived!
When Kong Yanzhou learned the news, he was having a rough time with his beloved concubine.
Yes, during the difficult time of the siege of Kaifeng, Kong Yanzhou was doing the most blissful things in the world.
Neither his old body nor his gray hair can stop his hormone secretion. He is still good at fighting and "valiant". He is invincible on the battlefield in bed. No concubine can fight against him alone.
This demeanor is just like the demeanor shown by Zhao Gou when he was in Yangzhou City in his twenties. It was like the demeanor that made a person collapse in front of him without changing his expression...
Well, that's bullshit.
This is not a leisurely situation. This is the same situation as Zhao Gou in Yangzhou City back then.
Under extreme anxiety and panic, he had no other way to vent his pressure. He could only vent his pressure in this way, escape from reality, and give himself some breathing space, otherwise the psychological pressure would crush him.
When the Jin soldiers attacked southward and approached Yangzhou, Zhao Gou was venting his pressure and escaping from reality, taking his "manly style" to the extreme and torturing his concubines to death.
When he heard that the Jin soldiers might be approaching the city and were about to catch up with him and kill him, he was so frightened that he got up from the bed and hurriedly fled across the Yangtze River on horseback, leaving behind a whole city of people.
Since then, Zhao Gou has never raised his head.
Kong Yanzhou was just following Zhao Gou's old path.
However, he was luckier than Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou could no longer hold his head up when he was in his twenties. He had been working as a eunuch for so many years and lived a life of pure and ascetic life. Seeing the daughters from Jiangnan blooming like flowers but unable to truly enjoy them, he could only Weeping secretly, being tormented by inner demons for a lifetime.
But Kong Yanzhou is an old man who refuses to accept old age. Even though he is nearly 70 years old, he has not changed his hobbies for so many years. He can still dominate the battlefield and show his glory.
The two people's experiences during this period are surprisingly similar.
When he learned that a mutiny broke out in the city and that the mutinous soldiers opened the city gates to invite the Liberation Army into the city and that the Liberation Army had already entered the city and started attacking, Kong Yanzhou was so frightened that he rolled out of bed and hurriedly got dressed, shouting and screaming. Let the guards help him put on his armor.
He didn't care at all about the dying concubine who was being tortured by him behind him.
After finally putting on their armor and gathering their guards, they learned that the Liberation Army was pouring into the east of the city and was advancing into the city. The defenders in the city were defeated, retreated in large numbers, surrendered in large numbers, and the city defenses had collapsed.
"What should I do? What should I do? I don't want to die here! I can't die here!!!"
The pale-faced Kong Yanzhou roared in despair, desperately expressing his strong desire not to die here.
However, the abilities of his soldiers are limited and they do not seem to be able to help him realize his wish. Besides, apart from anything else, outside the city...
Outside the city, the Liberation Army surrounded the city on all sides, leaving no way for anyone to survive. They were determined to wipe out all the Jin government agencies in Kaifeng City without leaving anyone behind.
Kong Yanzhou's soldiers could only gather as many soldiers and horses as possible to enter his left-behind mansion, and strengthen the defense of the left-behind mansion, preparing for a desperate final resistance.
With no way to escape, Kong Yanzhou stayed in the hall of the mansion and slumped on a chair, his eyes dull, muttering meaningless words such as "I don't want to die" and "I can't die".
At this point, he finally couldn't lift his head.
At this moment, the fighting situation in the city is also quite fierce.
Zhou Zhi led the soldiers of the Liberation Army who were the first to rush into the city and formed a street fighting formation to advance quickly, constantly killing the Jin soldiers who tried to resist, but dismissively ignored the Jin soldiers who dropped their weapons and tried to surrender when they encountered them.
Many people surrendered, but few resisted. The more they rushed inside, the more people surrendered, and the less they dared to fight against the Liberation Army.
The people who finally surrendered even blocked the road, so that Zhou Zhou, who was eager to advance the front line, was extremely anxious and did not want to capture anyone at all. He could only let the soldiers advance while shouting at the soldiers to drop their weapons and play while they did so. No time to take anyone captive.
The most important thing is to rush forward. While the enemy has not organized any defense line, push forward with all your strength and fight to the innermost part, to the most critical place, so that they lose the possibility of organizing a defense line.
In that case, the entire city can be conquered with the highest efficiency and the lowest casualties.
This is a common experience summarized by a series of generals of the Liberation Army after experiencing many siege battles. It is indeed very suitable to apply here.
As more and more Liberation Army entered the city, the situation in the city got out of control. The Jin Army retreated steadily. The Liberation Army gained momentum and soon controlled many important strongholds in the city.
Some Jin Army officers tried to launch a counterattack and led their men to fight against the Liberation Army, but sporadic resistance could not affect the overall situation, and the Jin Army's resistance soon ended.
Zhou Zhi's troops took the lead in breaking into Kong Yanzhou's left-behind mansion. They found that the left-behind mansion was fortified and defended by soldiers and horses. They also saw the plaque of the left-behind mansion and immediately knew that this was Kong Yanzhou's home base.
Kong Yanzhou! ! !
The old and new grudges combined together made Zhou Zhi hate Kong Yanzhou so much that he immediately ordered the siege of the left-behind mansion.
There were Kong Yanzhou's elite soldiers in the Liushou Mansion, relying on the courtyard wall of the Liushou Mansion for defense. They used crossbows and fired arrows from a high position to attack, thereby blocking the Liberation Army. The Liberation Army also used crossbows to fight back, relying on their numerical advantage to suppress the crossbows on the courtyard wall. hand.
At the same time, Zhou Zhi sent people to attack the gate of the mansion with arrows, but the gate seemed to be blocked tightly and could not be opened for a while, so he had to send people to find rams and wood to deal with it.
People were shooting arrows around the mansion here, and people were sent to look for wood bumpers there. The entire city of Kaifeng was in chaos and noisy. In some places, the sound of gunpowder explosions and the huge smoke rising after the explosion could even be heard.
The fighting was very fierce.
The elite soldiers guarding the left-behind mansion were very good at archery. A dozen people on Zhou Zhi's side were quickly killed by arrows, and dozens were injured by arrows. Relying on the superiority of numbers was not easy to suppress.
All I can say is that they are the best at the bottom of the box.
However, no matter how elite they are, their numbers are always limited, and they are still fragile under the violent suppression of the majority.
Kaifeng City was quickly occupied by most of the important strongholds of the Liberation Army. The entire army had begun to divide and surround the fleeing army and accept the surrender.
At this time, Zhou Zhi's soldiers shouted and pushed a crash car. Zhou Zhi yelled for cover. All the crossbowmen immediately shot arrows at the courtyard wall desperately, knocking the bows on the courtyard wall. The crossbowman shot so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
The rest of the soldiers pushed the car with red eyes and started to rush towards the gate of the house.
one time!
Twice!
Three times!
Look around!
The door of the mansion began to shake and loosen. The elite soldiers in the mansion obviously began to panic. They all came down from the courtyard wall and seemed to block the door of the mansion.
But this is futile and pointless.
Zhou Zhi was so excited that he rushed to the front with red eyes, and together with his men, he pushed the car and started to hit the door of the house.
one time!
Twice!
Three times!
"Try harder! The door of the house can't hold anymore! Try harder! Hit me!!!!"
Zhou Zhi roared at the top of his lungs until his voice broke. Veins popped up on his forehead and neck. His whole face was distorted and he looked almost unrecognizable, like an evil ghost.
The general was so fierce that all his subordinates tried their best to fight. Everyone worked hard together, and the last blow hit the crumbling door of the mansion hard. With a bang, the door of the mansion was broken from the middle, and the gate of the mansion was left behind. Open the hole!
"Hurry to me!!!"
Zhou Zhi rushed to the front with his sword, his voice was hoarse and he could no longer shout, but this did not prevent all the soldiers from following him into the left-behind mansion and launching a final attack on Kong Yanzhou.
