Chapter 31: Take Control of Jinghu


Wang Yan had previously believed that as long as he threw a cup as a sign, Niu Gao and the close followers he brought to the wedding would be beheaded in an instant.

He didn't expect that Niu Gao would take advantage of the wedding to attack him, so he didn't make any plans for this situation.

At this time, Wang Yan was forced into the backyard of the mansion and had no way out.

Under the fighting, the servants had already fled in all directions, and no one could find anyone to find a ladder in his desperation.

Fortunately, Wang Yan had prepared enough Ezhou soldiers in his mansion.

Relying on their numerical advantage, they were able to withstand the powerful attack of the Yue family army's back Wei soldiers for the time being.

At this time, one of Wang Yan's personal servants found a pickaxe used by gardeners from nowhere and dug in the corner of the wall.

He planned to dig a dog hole and escape from the mansion.

Wang Yan felt relieved a little.

As long as he could escape from the mansion and avoid Niu Gao's attack, he would be sure of victory.

There are thousands of Ezhou soldiers in the streets outside the mansion.

No matter how fierce Niu Gao's soldiers are, there is no way they can survive under the random arrows.

When he relaxed a little, he immediately thought of his eldest son who had just died.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Niu Gao, Niu Gao, when you fall into my hands, I will cut you into pieces."

In the mansion, Niu Gao saw that he could not get out of the deadlock, so he knew that if he continued to delay and allowed Wang Yan to escape, his own side would be in danger.

He blocked the incoming blade with one whip, and hit the opponent's iron helmet with a whip with the other whip.

At the same time, he shouted: "It's thunderous.

If it doesn't happen now, how long will it take?"

Niu Tong, who had changed his weapon from a dagger to a broadsword, also shouted loudly: "Brothers, be careful, we are about to get into trouble."

After Niu Gao considered killing Wang Yan, Wang Yan's head alone might not be enough to control Jiangxia City, so he brought a large number of thunderbolts for breakout just in case.

It is difficult to find a suitable opportunity to use this thunderbolt on a regular battlefield, but it is very useful in indoor and street melees.

In fact, without Niu Gao saying a word, a dozen Beiwei veterans had already left the battle group and slipped to the rear.

The Ezhou soldiers thought they were timid, so they ignored them and just focused on fighting in front of them.

These warriors took off the pig iron balls as big as fists hanging on their shoulders and used fire sticks to light the medicine.

At the same time, Niu Gao and his son, the other generals from Hanyang Military Town, and the Beiwei soldiers all suddenly retreated.

A dozen ignited thunderbolts were thrown towards the dense gathering of Ezhou soldiers.

The experienced soldiers among the Ezhou soldiers were frightened and hurriedly ran around to avoid it.

Even the recruits who had never seen this thing were frightened when they looked at the black iron ball that made a sizzling sound.

There were more than a dozen loud bangs, and the Ezhou soldiers were blown to pieces.

Most of Niu Gao's back soldiers had retreated outside the hall, and those who had not left the hall lay down on the spot, so there were no casualties.

In fact, the power of Zhentian Lei itself is limited.

In this densely populated room, it only caused dozens of casualties.

However, its huge sound effect and instant burst of lethality shocked many Ezhou soldiers into silence.

Niu Gao and Niu Tong led the Beiwei soldiers into the hall again, slashing at the stunned Ezhou soldiers like a sharp knife slicing a melon.

After a series of thunderous rumbles and a "clang" sound, the last brick of the courtyard wall in the backyard of the mansion was pried open, and a hole was finally dug out that could accommodate one person.

Wang Yan was just about to bend down and get out, but after thinking about it, it was better for someone to take the lead in exploring the way, so he asked a few of his personal guards to get out first, and then he bent down with his fat body and got out.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of killing from behind, so he sped up his movements.

Unfortunately, his body was too fat and it was too difficult to get out of this small hole.

Seeing this, the soldiers who went out first grabbed his hands and dragged him out.

When half of Wang Yanxiao's body was through the courtyard wall, he felt his ankles being grabbed.

He hurriedly shouted to the soldiers: "Tug it, pull it quickly, pull it as hard as you can."

The soldiers tried their best to drag him out, but they felt an opposite resistance, dragging Wang Yan into the courtyard.

Then the strength suddenly disappeared, and they pulled Wang Yan's body out.

Some people even fell to the ground.

To be precise, half of Wang Yan's body was pulled out.

He had been cut in half by Niu Tongtong's sword, and his intestines, blood, and internal organs flowed all over the floor.

Seeing that Wang Yan was dying, these soldiers left half of Wang Yan's body behind and ran out of the alley.

In Jiangxia City, in the streets and alleys around the palace, hundreds of warriors fought bloody battles like lions among wolves.

The blood stained their clothes and armor red.

Originally, their mission was to guard the outside of the mansion and seize the east gate.

But unexpectedly, the Ezhou soldiers also deployed in the city, and the two sides inadvertently launched a head-to-head bloody battle in the streets.

The Beiwei soldiers killed a large number of enemy troops, but the Ezhou soldiers gathered more and more.

Archers and crossbowmen occupied the commanding heights of the buildings on both sides of the streets and shot cold arrows at the Beiwei soldiers from time to time.

Beiwei soldiers rushed through a human wall and then encountered another group.

The three hundred Beiwei soldiers were also suffering casualties, and in a short time more than half of them had been killed.

Fortunately, this was the iron army led by Zhi Yuefei, otherwise the other Song troops would have been defeated with such casualties.

More than a hundred Beiwei soldiers were unknowingly surrounded by the Ezhou Army Corps.

At this critical moment, the leader of the school captain shouted: "The situation is critical, use the sky-shaking thunder now."

As soon as he finished speaking, far away from the periphery There were more than a dozen loud thunders, and Niu Gao's shout was vaguely heard: "Wang Yan is dead, and those who surrender will not be punished."

The Ezhou soldiers suddenly became confused.

After hearing these words, the more than a hundred Beiwei soldiers were greatly boosted in morale, and they successively ignited the thunderbolts they carried and threw them towards the enemy's densely populated areas.

Amidst the loud noise and gunpowder smoke that filled the sky, the Ezhou soldiers were blown away.

In an instant, there was chaos and several gaps were opened.

Niu Tong was shirtless and covered in sweat.

He held a knife in one hand and carried Wang Yan's head with a bamboo pole in the other.

He followed Niu Gao, who was holding a whip in both hands, and led more than a hundred soldiers with thick backs through the street.

Niu Gao ordered to them: "Follow us, sons and daughters, and seize the east city gate."

The two groups of high-backed soldiers formed one force and charged toward the east gate along the main street of Jiangxia City.

The news of Wang Yan's death gradually spread, and the Ezhou army began to lose morale, and most of them separated.

Only a few middle- and low-level officers organized small teams to intercept Niu Gao, but they were defeated one by one by the latter.

The defenders at the east city gate just thought that the other side was trying to seize the gate and leave, and they all fled away even if they were not willing to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, Niu Gao did not withdraw from the city after seizing the city gate, but stayed at the city gate.

Soon, two thousand Hanyang troops from outside the city for reinforcements poured into Jiangxia City.

After reading the military report, Yue Fei said to himself: "Jinghu Lake has been leveled, it's time."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered the servants of the palace: "Invite all the ministers to come to Chui Gong Hall for a meeting, and only summon four others."

Officials with grades and above came, including those generals in the New Army camp
