Qiming 1158

Chapter 1092 Wang Yan, answer me, are you human?
On the seventh day of the Ming army's full-strength siege of the city, on the sixth day of the sixth month in the fifth year of Hongwu, in the afternoon after the Ming army had lunch, the siege initiated by the third division of the broken enemy army finally succeeded in the southern city wall after a fierce battle for half an hour. Stand firm.

The deputy commander of the third division, Liang Tiancheng, personally led the troops to the city wall and fought to the death, creating an excellent opportunity for the subsequent soldiers to climb the city.

As a result, a large number of Ming soldiers entered the city, and the musketeers tried their best to provide cover, so that several gun barrels were blown up, and several musketeers were injured.

The Song army retreated steadily, and the Ming army gained the upper hand, pushing the Song army down the city wall in waves, which contributed to the collapse of the Song army under the city and the loss of the city gate.

Liang Tiancheng personally led the army to attack the city gate, seized the city gate hole, and killed all the Song army crossbowmen on the urn city, and opened the city gate.

The Ming army outside the city had been waiting for a long time, and immediately flooded into Xiangyang City like a tide, bringing a decisive blow to the Song army in Xiangyang City.

From the fierce battle to dusk, the Song army completely collapsed and the street battle failed.

Liang Tiancheng was relatively unlucky. In the battle, because he rushed too hard, he directly protruded from the front, and the personal soldiers behind him did not keep up. After he killed a Song soldier with a knife, he was knocked on the head by a Song soldier with a stick and fainted. Failed to participate in the next battle to annihilate the Song army.

The commander of the third division, Pang Yu, also personally led the soldiers to charge ahead, and attacked directly towards the core area of ​​the city, vowing to capture Wang Yan alive.

At that time, the entire Xiangyang City was fighting fiercely, and the upper and lower city of Xiangyang City were fighting fiercely. The Song army was fighting while collapsing, while the Ming army kept the commander's order in mind - do not take prisoners, so it didn't matter that some Song soldiers tried to surrender. If you do not accept surrender, you will kill with a knife.

What happened in Fancheng also appeared in Xiangyang City. Seeing that the Song army was unlucky, the Ming army rushed in, and the anger in the hearts of the strong men who had been enslaved by the Song army for a long time spewed out like a volcano eruption.

They took up arms to hunt down Song Bing.

The single Song Bing and a small group of Song Bing fell into their hands, and there was no way to survive. They were either chopped into flesh or divided into pieces, and they died very tragically.

So that some Ming army soldiers were red-eyed at first, but watching these strong men with yellow skin and ragged clothes kill Song soldiers, they quickly regained their senses and did not continue to kill, but maintained order after these strong men vented their anger. .

After entering the street fighting stage, quite a number of Song soldiers were killed by the strong men in the city by various means after being dispersed by the Ming army.

Of course, these Song troops will not be caught without their hands, and they have also caused some casualties of the strong men.

And this often leads to the full-scale attack of the Ming army, and the Ming army will wipe out all these Song soldiers, and not a single one will be left.

The mutual attack in the city continued all night, until dawn the next day. Pang Yu, who was covered in blood, carried Wang Yan, who was tied into a zongzi and gagged, out of the city and came to Zhang Yuejing.

Wang Yan closed his eyes and did not move.

"This is Wang Yan, still alive."

After saying this, Pang Yu fell asleep due to excessive fatigue and was unconscious.

He personally led the troops to storm Wang Yan's handsome mansion, took the lead in attacking the handsome mansion, killed five Song soldiers with his own hands, and kicked Wang Yan's lower abdomen, which directly made Wang Yan lose his combat effectiveness and passed out.

Zhang Yuejing sent someone to settle Pang Yu well, and then sent someone to wake up the fainted Wang Yan with cold water.

When Wang Yan woke up, he found that he had been caught and struggled desperately. Zhang Yuejing asked someone to tear off the cloth that was covering his mouth and let him speak.

"Let go of me! Let me go! Ming dog! Fight me to the death!!!"

"What qualifications do you have to let me let go of you?"

Zhang Yuejing resisted his anger.

Wang Yan was furious.

"What qualifications do you have? What qualifications do you think I have? I am the prefect of Xiangyang, and the army is in control! I have this qualification! If you want to kill me, kill me now, if you don't kill me, let me go and be with me Fight to the death! Don't imagine that I will surrender! No! Never!"

"Who told you to surrender?"

Zhang Yuejing laughed angrily: "You don't think I captured you alive to make you surrender? What's the use of making you surrender? Xiangfan has been occupied by us, the backbone of the Southern Song Dynasty has been interrupted, and our army has completely taken the lead. If you want to destroy the Song Dynasty, you can just go down the river, why do you need one? I can tell you clearly that you will definitely die."

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

But his momentum did decline at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he realized that his failure heralded the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he hated but was helpless.

In desperation, he seemed to admit his failure and accepted the fact that the entire Southern Song Dynasty was about to perish.

After a while, he spoke again.

"Who are the people who came to support us? How many soldiers and horses came?"

"It was Li Xianzhong who came to support you, and [-] soldiers and horses came."

"Li Xianzhong? 8 people?"

Wang Yan was obviously shocked: "Li Xianzhong is so good at fighting, and there are [-] troops under his command. How did you defeat him?"

"What kind of heavenly general is he so invincible? Why can't we defeat him?"

Zhang Yuejing shook his head and said: "Da Ming's army is invincible in the world, sweeping the world invincible, you are not the first defeated general, nor will you be the last, don't worry."

Wang Yan was speechless for a while.

Based on his understanding of Li Xianzhong, it can be determined that Li Xianzhong is the strongest military general that the Lin'an court can produce at present.

Li Xianzhong's ability is also clear to him. He was one of the witnesses when Li Xianzhong took tens of thousands of people from the south of Shaanxi to the Southern Song Dynasty.

If even Li Xianzhong was defeated, then the Southern Song Dynasty would indeed have no hope.

Wu Lin of Sichuan and Shu can really fight, and the Wu family army is also quite good at fighting, but the problem is that there is only one Sichuan and Shu, how can they resist the Ming army who owns the world?
There is still the possibility of resistance in the Southern Song Dynasty as a whole, but if Jinghu and Jianghuai are lost, then it can prove that the Southern Song Dynasty really has no hope.

It’s over.

Wang Yan lowered his head in dismay.

"Kill me, don't humiliate me, I'm already the general of the defeated army, I can't be the general of surrender, and I will not be the general of the subjugation of the country."

"Don't worry, you will die."

Zhang Yuejing sneered: "How do you die, I'm ready, but before you die, I have one more question I want to ask you."

"question?"

Wang Yan took a deep breath: "Since you want to kill me, what else do you have to ask? I may not know what you want to know, and even if I do, I will not say it, I have decided to die, don't pester me, and don't humiliate me anymore. already."

"Don't worry, it doesn't involve any of your military affairs, it's just a small issue."

"small issue?"

"Well, a small question."

Zhang Yue nodded and looked at Wang Yan very seriously: "Wang Yan, answer me, are you human?"

"…………"

It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Yan thought about a lot of things at that moment.

For example, Zhang Yuejing would ask about news about Song Ting's reinforcements.

But he never thought that Zhang Yuejing would ask such a question.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, are you human?"

"Of course!"

Wang Yan felt insulted: "Aren't you insulting me? How can I not be human?"

"No, you're not human, you're definitely not human."

Zhang Yuejing shook his head repeatedly and said, "People can't do such a thing."

"whats the matter?"

"Before the war, you kidnapped [-] strong men and [-] strong women in Xiangfan and transported them to Fancheng and Xiangyang respectively. Is this the case?"

"That's nature. This is the tactic of forging walls and clearing fields, and it has existed since ancient times."

Wang Yan said confidently: "If you don't implement such a tactic, how will you deal a heavy blow to you?"
