"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? The officers and soldiers are about to attack the city, general..."
"Didn't you see that the officers and soldiers were about to attack the city?"
At this moment, as more and more torches came into view below, the young men on the city who were armed with weapons and bows and arrows and were forced to guard the city were already panicking.
Zhu Fang, on the other hand, angrily led a group of troops, patrolling back and forth on the top of the city, loudly scolding and suppressing the young men who were ready to make a move.
"Hold on to me. No matter what you are panicking about, hold on to me. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"
At this moment, a young man with a pale face threw away the weapon in his hand and kowtowed to Zhu Fang who walked up to him.
"General, we can't defend it. Please let us live, General..."
As soon as these words came out, many young men imitated Zhu Fang and bowed down to her.
Zhu Fang saw more and more young people looking this way, and saw more people throwing away their weapons.
"You dare to disturb the morale of the army! I will kill you."
Desperation and embarrassment finally made him unable to control himself. With a cry, he pulled out his long sword and stepped forward to chop it down.
From nowhere, an arrow flew over and hit Zhu Fang's iron helmet. There was a crisp sound of gold and iron, making Zhu Fang stagger.
The soldiers around Zhu Fang were immediately stunned, and immediately drew their swords and slashed around. In the chaos, someone on top of the city shouted loudly.
"If you want to live, follow me to kill the red thieves and open the city gate..."
Along with the noise, the young men who had been retreating under the wild sword swings of Zhu Fang's soldiers began their counterattack.
The spears had little strength when they were first thrust out.
But as the Zhu rebels screamed, wailed, and resisted, a few or more than a dozen spears pierced their bodies.
Because of timidity and fear, these young men who had no hope and could only live in the shadow of the Zhu family and their minions were finally inspired to take courage.
Frantically, he stabbed at those Zhu family elites who were struggling to resist, or were beginning to retreat.
And because a large number of troops were mobilized, at this moment, the guard general Zhu Fang had been stabbed to death on the spot. He lost his command and did not have enough troops to suppress the civil strife that was beginning to surge.
Soon the sound of fighting on the top of the city had already resounded both above and below the city.
"Lower the suspension bridge, open the city gate, let the officers and soldiers come in and kill these lackeys of the Zhu family..."
Accompanied by the excited roars and roars, the suspension bridge that was originally hanging high in the air crashed to the ground.
Commander Deng, who was directing the soldiers to form an array and posing for a massive attack, and a group of officers and soldiers.
They all looked at the swaying fire at the top of the city in astonishment, and at the city gate that was being slowly pushed open behind the fallen suspension bridge.
"Beat the drums, attack with the whole army!" Gao Zhang, who had been watching the situation above and below the west gate of Suzhou City, shouted the order immediately.
Commander Deng did not hesitate to pull out the long knife at his waist and pointed it diagonally forward.
"Crush across the suspension bridge, fight in, and kill the red thieves!"
#####
Thousands of officers and soldiers shouted excitedly, roared, and began to run towards the city gate.
Gao Zhang stood in the camp outside the west gate of Suzhou, looking at the noisy Suzhou city.
He let out a breath of relief and released his two fists, which were now covered in sweat.
"It's done..." Gao Zhang couldn't help laughing loudly at this moment, laughing so arrogantly and wantonly that all the officials around him looked sideways at him.
And Yang Douzhi, who also became radiant and energetic, stepped forward to congratulate Gao Zhang.
At this moment, Suzhou City has been invaded by the imperial army, so the countdown to the destruction of Zhu's bandit army has begun.
You must know that in the past, rebellions that occurred in the Song Dynasty and shocked the whole country often required the court to spend huge amounts of money and food, as well as mobilize a large number of elite border troops to suppress them.
The young champion in front of him only relied on the state soldiers and rural soldiers from several states, as well as the three thousand cavalry who came from Bianliang, Tokyo for reinforcements.
This rebellion, which spread to several states in the south of the Yangtze River, had already caused the Zhu family's rebels to suffer heavy losses in such a short period of time.
Now, even Suzhou, their base of rebellion, is about to be recovered by officers and soldiers.
Such feats made the aura of this twelve-year-old prodigy become even more dazzling.
As the chief officer of the Imperial City Department, I have worked conscientiously and helped each other all the way. I think that after returning to Bianliang, Tokyo, my weight in the eyes of the officials will inevitably increase.
As for Gao Zhang’s future, it’s not only bright, it’s bright...
Especially when Yang Duzhi recalled that day when Gao Zhang was admiring the scroll given by the official in the cabin.
The scene in the painting in which the emperor dressed as an immortal gives instructions to Gao Zhang standing next to him is still vivid in his mind.
Fang Baihua, who was dressed as a man and showed off his heroic appearance, looked at Gao Zhang, who was laughing happily not far ahead.
Her heart was pounding, her cheeks were flushed, and her bright eyes were filled with bright stars.
The Song Dynasty has been in existence for more than a hundred years, and there have been countless heroes and talents. Who can compare with this young man who was named on the gold medal at the age of eleven and put down the chaos in Jiangnan at the age of twelve?
#####
The turmoil in Suzhou City swept through the entire Suzhou City in less than two sticks of incense as the west gate was opened.
Especially when the elite loyal to Zhu Meng were mobilized too much, the young men with weapons in the city burst out with unprecedented courage.
The entire Suzhou city defense was in chaos, and at this moment, the Zhu rebels who rushed out from the west gate were naturally aware of the noise and chaos coming from all directions.
This chaos naturally caused the Zhu rebels who had left Suzhou City to start a commotion.
And when the first person disobeyed orders and ran wildly into the dark night. There will be a second, ten, a hundred...
As more and more Zhu's rebel soldiers began to lose morale, their military morale began to fluctuate.
How could Liu Fa, who had already quietly led his army to lurk outside the west gate, let go of such an excellent opportunity? The imperial cavalry also took advantage of the situation and rushed out at this moment.
This immediately caused the Zhu family's rebels, who were still busy restraining their troops, to be in chaos.
Zhu Meng, the great king of the Wu Kingdom, did not hesitate to lie down on his horse, beat the horse and headed straight to the east. Behind him were dozens of close friends and relatives...
The chaos outside the east gate caused the two camps in the north and south to promptly mobilize some troops and horses and start heading towards the east gate.
When the morning light appeared, the flags of the Wu Kingdom that originally stood high on the top of Suzhou City had long since disappeared, and were replaced by the flags of the Song Dynasty flying high...
