Chapter 866 Chaos

"Your Highness!"

At the north gate of Changcheng, Bai Shang saluted Zhao Xu.

When the army arrived, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Now, we can finally launch an attack on Changcheng.

After this battle, Wu's army was almost wiped out by them.

Only one hundred thousand troops huddled in Bacheng.

"How is the situation?" Zhao Xu looked at Changcheng.

In fact, regarding the war in Jiangnan, he always had the mentality that he could win without fighting.

However, the powerful clan had the help of the Xitu people and had the illusion that they could fight against him, so they have been fighting until now.

Now, in the Battle of Jiangxia, 600,000 Wu troops were buried by him.

Some of them should wake up completely.

"Liang Tong's head seems to have not affected them." Bai Shang shook his head.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Sometimes the broken wall at home will not fall down without pushing. Prepare for bombardment!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Bai Shang said yes and immediately went back to prepare.

Chang Wei also ordered Qinshan and Guantong to lead the soldiers and prepare to attack Changcheng.

Naturally, the actions of the royal family's troops could not be hidden from the powerful generals and soldiers on the city wall.

Seeing that the royal army was about to attack Changcheng, they were excited.

"The granary is on fire!"

However, at this moment, a sound came from the cannon competition that made them despair,

Looking back, they saw thick smoke billowing from the middle of Changcheng.

They knew that there was not much food and grass left in the city, and now that it was burned again, they were afraid that they would have no food tonight.

In an instant, their will collapsed.

However, they still don't know the information about the burning of food and grass.

So, there is still a glimmer of hope for them.

But within half an hour, the news spread.

The fire was so intense that the granary could not be saved.

This completely broke the last string in the hearts of the generals and soldiers.

At this moment, Xie An was in front of the granary.

He rushed over as soon as the granary caught fire.

But all to no avail.

He knew very well that this was definitely done by his generals.

But now, he has no intention of finding out who did it.

King Yan's army has arrived, and he wants to resist to the end.

But I'm afraid more generals just want to survive.

Ants still live in vain, let alone humans.

Just as I was thinking about it, a cavalryman suddenly came in a hurry, dismounted and said urgently: "General, something bad has happened. Wang Jie, the guard at the north gate, opened the city gate and surrendered to King Yan."

Before the cavalry finished speaking, another cavalry arrived, "General, Captain Xie Guang has led a rebellion and is attacking the east gate."

"General, Han Bin led the troops to mutiny."

"..."

In an instant, urgent reports arrived one after another.

There were shouts of killing everywhere in Changcheng.

Xie An's face was as pale as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he sat slumped on the ground, "It's over, everything is over..."

People's hearts are in chaos, and Changcheng will be destroyed if it is not attacked.

at the same time.

Outside the north gate, soldiers from the Shi tribe rushed out of the city gate.

Under the leadership of the general, they came to the position of the royal army, threw their muskets on the ground, and then went to squat in the designated place under the order of the royal army.

Zhao Xu, Chang Wei, Qin Shan and other generals all burst into laughter.

Before they started shelling, they saw thick smoke filling Changcheng.

Immediately, they realized that something happened in Changcheng.

Afterwards, their suspicions were indeed confirmed.

Waves of shouts of killing resounded in the city.

The north gate was even opened, and a powerful general and his soldiers came out and surrendered to them.

Since then, soldiers from the powerful tribe have been pouring out of Chang City like running water.

Some were brought by the generals, and some ran out on their own.

But their purpose is the same, which is to surrender and save their lives.

In a short period of time, 20,000 to 30,000 people surrendered, and this was only the beginning.

"Your Highness, do you want to go in and make the city more lively?" Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "No need, the city is too chaotic now, and you can't tell who is from whom. It won't take long before all the surrenderers come out. Then we can just capture the stubborn ones."

After that, he simply sat down, closed the door to relax, and waited quietly.

Chang Wei ordered the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance and not let any powerful soldiers escape from their encirclement.

Another hour passed.

The east gate also opened, followed by the south gate and the west gate.

The battle can no longer be won, and there is no food.

Neither the generals nor the soldiers wanted to starve to death in the city.

Since King Yan always treated prisoners favorably, why should they fight to the end?

This wave of surrender lasted for two days.

In the end, there were still 80,000 stubborn generals and soldiers who did not surrender.

These are basically the core disciples of the seven powerful clans and the hardcore members of the powerful clans.

Zhao Xu would naturally not show mercy to this.

After starving them for five days, Zhao Xu ordered Chang Wei to attack.

In just an hour, the royal army defeated the remaining powerful troops who were so hungry that they couldn't even hold their muskets.

Xie An was also killed by a grenade in the battle.

Changcheng was completely restored.

The fighting stopped, and both Zhao Xu and Chang Wei had smiles on their faces.

In the first battle of Jiangxia and the first battle of Changcheng, both Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou were captured by them.

As for Yuezhou and Guizhou, there are only a small number of powerful troops. After the troops that go there are cleared, they can be brought under management.
