Chapter 2304 Jiangling Rebellion (3)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was half an hour later that Li Daozong got the news of the chaos in the military camp.

    Before Wei Xiaojie, he only thought it was a small-scale riot, so he thought he would report it after quelling the riot to avoid being held accountable, so he did not report it to Li Daozong and Tang Jian in time.

    But I didn¡¯t expect that this little thought would completely ruin Jiangling City.

    By the time Li Daozong arrived, the entire Jiangling City surrender was in chaos.

    Fear and rumors are like a plague that cannot be stopped.  At this time, the whole city was saying that "the Tang army wanted to kill all the troops and surrender." Later, there was even a saying that "the Tang army wanted to massacre the city."

    Li Daozong wants to explain. The entire surrender of Jiangling City is like crazy. Who will listen to your explanation?

    Li Daozong is young after all, and he doesn¡¯t know what to do when he sees this situation?

    When Wei Xiaojie saw Li Daozong, he immediately said: "General manager, these surrender troops have been linked up for a long time, ready to open the city gate and surrender to the Northern Sui Dynasty. As soon as the people who collected weapons from our army arrived, this group of people suddenly broke out, and then  Rush out of the camp and attack our army."

    The recruits shirk responsibility for Wei Xiaojie, and Wei Xiaojie shirks responsibility for Li Daozong.

    It seems that Li Daozong doesn't care about the details or who is responsible. The primary issue now is to put an end to the chaos.

    "How many surrendered troops participated in the rebellion?"

    Of course Wei Xiaojie didn't know, so he could only whisper: "Probably, probably more than half."

    Li Daozong felt dizzy. More than half of the surrendered troops rebelled, at least thousands of them. With so many people in chaos in the city, what could he do to quell the rebellion.

    At this moment, the city gate defenders came to report, and the Sui army suddenly launched an attack on Jiangling City.

    Thunder and storm mixed together, attacking the swaying Jiangling City.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    The chaos in Jiangling City cannot be hidden from Chen Kedi outside the city, not to mention that Chen Kedi is consciously guiding this turmoil.  Although there is a complicated relationship between the Tang army and the new and surrendered soldiers, without the Sui spies operating around, fanning the flames and adding fuel to the flames, the chaos in the entire Jiangling City would not have erupted so quickly and violently.

    Chen Kedi chose to launch a general offensive when the chaos broke out, just to deny the Tang army any room to react.

    ¡°These days, no one understands the importance of warships better than Huang Mingyuan, and no one is better at classifying and developing warships than Huang Mingyuan.

    24378  .

    This large ship is built to a very high level, with most of them having three floors, and some even have five floors.  The ships are huge and can accommodate hundreds of people.

    When it came time to attack the city, these warships got close to the city wall, then stretched out their hooks and claws to cling to the city wall.  Then more than ten crane arms stretched out from the top floor, along the hooks, and spread to the city wall.  The soldiers above can follow the crane arm and fight all the way to the city wall.

    These booms are tightly wrapped in cowhide and supported by iron plates. They are not damaged by fire or smashed by stones.

    And the top of the ship is spacious, with multiple bed crossbows for cover.

    Five warships of the Sui army approached the south city of Jiangling, and soon thousands of troops rushed from the ships along the paved road towards the city wall of Jiangling.

    The main force of the Tang Army was less than 8,000 men, and the other recruits and surrendered soldiers were much inferior in terms of ability and loyalty.  So Li Daozong deployed the main force in the east and west directions, while the Tang troops in the south and north directions were much smaller.

    Originally there was a natural barrier on the south side of the Yangtze River, but the Sui army¡¯s arrangement made the Yangtze River a smooth path for the Sui army to attack.

    Throughout the southern city wall of Jiangling, the Sui army deployed five battalions to attack together. As a result, above the river, the sound was like thunder, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the Sui army was everywhere attacking the city.

    The Tang Army defenders in Nancheng were caught off guard and directly lost two-thirds of the city wall.

    Li Daozong was stunned when he heard the news.

    Li Daozong knew very well what it meant to lose two-thirds of a city wall. It was impossible for him to drive the Sui army out of the city with less than 8,000 troops.

    As for the new soldiers and surrendered soldiers in the city, Li Daozong had long forgotten about them.

    At this time, Tang Jian also arrived. Faced with this complicated and chaotic situation, Tang Jian was also a little at a loss. Didn't he make a plan and divide it into three steps? He worked steadily, but why did it collapse.

    "If the city is appointed as Duke, can the city still be defended?"

    Li Daozong hesitated for less than a minute, then suddenly turned to look at Tang Jian and said, "Mr. Jin Chang, do you think your second brother can return victoriously with the main force?"

    Tang Jian was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded firmly.?.

    This time 75*z w.com Zhang Si.  Tang Jian has been following Li Shimin for so long. Although he is not considered Li Shimin's confidant, he still quite recognizes Li Shimin's ability.

    Li Shimin sticks to Changlin and has the right location and people, so there is no reason why he cannot win.

    Seeing that Tang Jian believed that Li Shimin could win, Li Daozong said directly: "In that case, let's abandon the outer city and stick to the inner city. When Xiao Liu and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled were able to defend the city for a month, so can we."

    Tang Jian was stunned, and quickly looked at Li Daozong to confirm that he was not joking. Tang Jian then said: "Since the Duke of Rencheng dares to bet on this battle, I will accompany him to bet on this battle."

    Li Daozong immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw into the inner city of Jiangling.  As for the new recruits and surrendered soldiers, except for some trustworthy recruits, the rest are ignored.

    The inner city is small and does not require many people to defend it.  Moreover, what happened today has proved that the biggest trouble is an unstable heart. Keeping those unreliable people will be a disaster. Li Daozong can't believe it at all.

    Soon the Tang troops stationed at various gates and places withdrew to the inner city, leaving the rest of the city abandoned.  Some of this group of people walked, some ran, and some crawled. Although they were in a panic, because they evacuated in time, the organization was relatively complete.

    Li Daozong also moved his headquarters to the city gate building in the inner city, where he directed the armies to enter the city.  He stood on the city wall, looking at the new soldiers and surrendered soldiers who were still fighting fiercely in the city, full of reluctance, but unable to do anything.

    After the Tang army in the city moved to the inner city, there was no obstacle for the Sui army. The entire attack went smoothly. In less than an hour, all the four city walls were taken by the Sui army.

    At this time, Chen Kedi, who was commanding outside the city, was a little surprised when he heard the news that the Tang army had retreated to the inner city. Finally, he praised Li Daozong as "a man who can do great things if he can cut off."

    But at this time, it was Chen Kedi who was in trouble.

    There were more than 10,000 recruits and surrendered soldiers of the Tang Army in the city. At this time, there was melee and chaos everywhere, and the Sui Army needed to maintain order. The Sui Army could not take care of the Tang Army who fled into the inner city.

    Instead, Li Daozong could take advantage of this opportunity to calmly reorganize his troops and deploy defense lines in the inner city.

    Control the big one and control the owl.  Chen Kedi was worried that Li Daozong would kill someone who came back, so he ordered Mai Mengcai to assign battalions of the 59th Army to block the gates of the inner city to keep an eye on the soldiers in the inner city. At the same time, he ordered Du Fuwei to be responsible for order in the outer city.

    To attack the outside, you must first secure the inside. If you want to attack the inner city, you have to secure the entire outer city before you can attack calmly
