Chapter 1833 The Fall of Xiangwu
However, these soldiers guarding the gate forgot that there was Lin Xiang next to them. Lin Xiang tried his best to deal with it and then opened the city gate. How could the Wei soldiers close the city gate, resulting in a failure?
So Lin Xiang did not do it, but kept scrubbing the ground and pulled out the ring-headed knife he wore around his waist. He used a few slashes, just like chopping melons and vegetables, and then chopped the guards to the ground.
The soldiers were pushing the city gate with all their might. No one expected that Lin Xiang would suddenly attack behind his back. Unpredictable, all of these soldiers fell to the ground. Before he died, his eyes turned to Lin Xiang, and his face was still incredible.
At this moment, the Shu army, led by Fu Qian, had already rushed to the city gate. It was too late for the Wei army to close the city gate. They were so panicked that they fled in scattered, leaving only Lin Xianghe's few confidants still stayed in place.
Fu Qian had already received Jiang Wei's care and knew that someone in Xiangyang City would open the city gate tonight. He led his army to the city at the third update. He only needed to cooperate with the action to enter the city. Seeing Lin Xiang killing several Wei soldiers, Fu Qian knew that he was the inner Jin Crow. He was overjoyed and greeted him, "Are you the Jin Crow?"
Lin Xiang has been leaving Shu Kingdom for more than 20 years. Jiang Wei had just surrendered to Shu at that time. Just as a young man, Jiang Wei has now become a veteran in his fifties. Lin Xiang has never seen a new generation of generals like Fu Qian.
However, even though he is unfamiliar, Lin Xiang has an indescribable kindness, and he smiled and said, "It's right here."
Fu Qian stepped forward and held his hand, and said excitedly: "You have made great contributions. The general has ordered us to protect your safety at all costs. I will immediately send someone to escort you back to the camp. Let's leave the matters in the city to me."
Lin Xiang couldn't help but be quite moved. He didn't expect that he was just a small army, lurking in the enemy camp for more than 20 years, unknown, and could still get such care from General Jiang Wei.
"Meng's general's love is very affectionate, and he cannot repay his humble position. You are not familiar with Xiangwu City. I am willing to take the general into the city as a guide."
Fu Qian was overjoyed. Although they knew some of the situation in Xiangwu City, they had never been involved in this place. In addition, it was midnight at this time. After entering the city, they might not be able to distinguish between the south and north. If there was a person familiar with the situation in Xiangwu City as a guide at this time, it would be the best. As for protecting Lin Xiang's safety, Fu Qian didn't have to worry. After all, what else could the Shu army have to do with such a large number of troops?
Capturing the thief first, the king was captured. In Xiangwu City, Yang Xin, the prefect of Longxi, was the main general. If Yang Xin could be captured, the remaining battle would be over quickly. So Fu Qian sent someone to control the city gate, and under the leadership of Lin Xiang, he rushed straight to the prefect's mansion and captured Yang Xin.
At this moment, Yang Xin was sleeping very heavily. After all, she had been tired for a day and was exhausted. Even the iron man could not hold on. When Yang Xin returned to the mansion, she fell on the couch and fell asleep without even taking off her armor.
Just as he was sleeping in a daze, he vaguely heard the shouts of killing outside. Yang Xin woke up in a panic and asked her subordinates what had happened.
At this moment, a soldier came to report in panic that the county Sima Lin Xiang had surrendered to the enemy and treason and opened the city gate. At this moment, the Shu army had entered Xiangwu City and was coming to the prefect's mansion.
Yang Xin was like a basin of cold water, her sleepiness disappeared, Lin Xiang surrendered to the enemy and treasoned the city? It was over, it was over! Yang Xin believed in him so much and assigned him the important task of on-duty inspection. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiang did this, which really made Yang Xin feel heartbroken and almost collapsed.
Yang Xin couldn't understand why Lin Xiang wanted to offer the city to the enemy. Logically speaking, the situation in Xiangwu is not too bad. With excellent defense and sufficient food and grass, and if you can hold on for a few days, Chang'an reinforcements will arrive. As long as you can defend Xiangwu City, it will be a great achievement for these defenders, but why at this critical moment, Lin Xiang actually surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country and betrayed him.
It seems that this is Lin Xiang’s long-planned action. The previous flattery and trustworthy were all illusions, and they were all to deceive his trust. Yang Xin wanted to slap himself in a big mouth. He was confused for a moment and suffered this disastrous consequence. Once Xiangwu City was broken, the situation was over and everything was over.
"Premier Yang, the situation is over. You should evacuate quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late." The subordinates could hear the shouts of killing outside the mansion, and couldn't help but urge Yang Xin anxiously.
Yang Xin also knew that the Shu army was coming for him, so she no longer delayed it. She quickly took a group of confidants to escape from the back door of the prefect's mansion.
The entire Xiangwu City was already in chaos. Many people woke up from their dreams and found that the Shu army had actually entered the city. They crawled up in a hurry and took up weapons to resist. However, at this time the scene was completely out of control. The Wei army soldiers were no longer in sight, and the generals did not see soldiers, and they were in chaos.
After entering the city, the Shu army cut and slashed all the way and swept across the country. Once they encountered resistance, they would kill them mercilessly. They were as if they had entered a no-man's land, and most of the Xiangwu City had fallen into the hands of the Shu army.
Seeing that the situation was going to go, Yang Xin hurriedly gathered the remaining defeated soldiers and tried to escape from another path.
The first person to attack the west gate of Xiangwu was Lin Xiang, who was guarded by Lin Xiang. With Lin Xiang as an insider, they entered the city without any effort. After entering the city, they made great progress and quickly controlled the key points of Xiangwu City.
Yang Xin wanted to escape from the South Gate, but as soon as she turned to the south, she fled to the front with a group of Wei soldiers. It turned out that the South Gate was also captured by the Shu army, and this road would not work. Yang Xin could only turn to the North Gate, but also got bad news, and the North Gate also fell into the hands of the Shu army.
With no choice but to lead the remaining troops to the east gate. Fortunately, the east gate was not captured by the Shu army, so they hurriedly opened the city gate and escaped from Xiangwu City.
At this time, Fu Qian, who was heading to the prefect's house, pounced on him, and Lin Xiang said to Fu Qian: "Yang Xin has no way to escape. If you want to leave the city, you can only go to the east gate. Outside the east gate is the Wei River. Yang Xin has no boat and can't escape at all. General Fu only needs to bring people over to capture him."
When Fu Qian heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately led his troops to look at the east gate. When he arrived at the east gate, he found that the city gate was open. It was obvious that Yang Xin had just escaped from here, so Fu Qian led his troops to chase him all the way, not giving Yang Xin any chance to escape.
