    When Ou Yan captured Qiantang City and captured Liu Yuanjin and others, Wang Shichong's troops as a partial division also captured Yuhang County, west of Qiantang.  Although Yuhang County has the same name as Yuhang County, it is not a county seat, but an ordinary county seat below.

    After the Battle of Baihu Mountain, although Wang Shichong did not make any great achievements, he was qualified to lead the army independently. He led his troops southward along Dongtiao River and arrived at the foot of Yuhang County.  The person guarding Yuhang County was General Li Junfan of Liu Yuanjin. Most of his troops were new soldiers and their combat strength was weak. Therefore, seeing the Sui army attacking, he chose to close the city gate tightly and not get out.

    Yuhang County is located at the junction of Dongtiao River and Nantiao River. In order to strengthen the city defense, the ancients connected the moat to Tiao River, so that the entire city was surrounded by Tiao River.  In addition, Yuhang County itself is a tall city and one of the few large cities in the south of the Yangtze River. It is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

    Li Junfan¡¯s men are a group of new soldiers, and Wang Shichong¡¯s men are not veterans.  Moreover, Wang Shichong himself did not have a high military talent, so he sent troops to the city and saw Yuhang County worried.

    Fortunately, Ou Yan only ordered him to keep an eye on Li Junfan and not let Li Junfan escape or support Qiantang City.

    ¡°That¡¯s the case, but Wang Shichong is definitely not willing to complete the basic tasks. He would rather destroy the city.

    There are actually not many ways to attack a city, and there is no way to take advantage of it.  Because the moat is connected to Tiao River, the water in the south of the Yangtze River is abundant, so filling the trenches is definitely unrealistic.  Wang Shichong then ordered people to build a flying bridge on the moat to make contact.

    The bandits on the top of the city had few bows and crossbows. Seeing the Sui army attacking, they had no choice but to fire arrows at the top of the city indiscriminately. Therefore, Wang Shichong quickly constructed dozens of flying bridges on the moat.

    "But although the flying bridge is completed, it is not on the ground after all. Many large manholes and rush vehicles cannot pass.

    Wang Shichong then ordered the catapults to be set up outside the moat and stormed the city head as a cover.  As for the main force, the ants attack the city.  But the siege of Yifu is not simply about carrying a ladder to climb the city wall. It also involves a problem of coordination and organization. It is obvious that Wang Shichong's troops have not experienced such a bloody battle and can only attack indiscriminately like a group of rabble.  Fortunately, the thieves in the city had little fighting power, so Wang Shichong was not defeated by the opponent.  But the two sides fought for several days, but they were just noobs pecking each other.

    The two sides fought for several days in Yuhang County. Wang Shichong achieved no results and instead lost thousands of people.

    While Wang Shichong was worried about Yuhang County, news came from the east that Ou Yan had broken Qiantang City and captured Liu Yuanjin.  Wang Shichong couldn't help but sigh. Comparing people to others makes people angry.  But no matter how helpless, this news is good news for Wang Shichong to break the enemy.

    Wang Shichong then ordered people to shout the news of "Liu Yuanjin's death" from outside the city to the city to undermine the morale of the defenders.

    Li Junfan in the city was shocked when he heard this, and kept muttering. After all, the news had not been confirmed, so he did not dare to act rashly.

    A few days later, the surrender envoy from Qiantang also arrived at Yuhang County. They also sent a surrender letter stamped with Liu Yuanjin's seal and ribbon, stating that it was Liu Yuanjin's own handwriting.

    Regardless of whether it is true or false, this incident greatly shocked the entire Yuhang County.  From Li Junfan down, many of them are Liu Yuanjin's old subordinates and have followed Liu Yuanjin as bandits for many years.  Now that Qiantang has been destroyed, Liu Yuanjin's power has been defeated, and their biggest reliance no longer exists.

    ¡°And Li Junfan knew very well that no matter how strong Yuhang County was, without external support, it would only be a matter of time before the city was destroyed.  After following Liu Yuanjin for so many years, through life and death, it was not easy to get where he is today. Now that Liu Yuanjin is finished, it is time for him to consider his future.

    For Li Junfan, the best choice now is to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, but Li Junfan does not dare to surrender easily.  First of all, he had no acquaintances in the Sui army and had no one to contact him. Secondly, he did not understand the temperament of the garrison outside the city, so he surrendered rashly, with unpredictable consequences.

    At this time, Li Junfan was in a dilemma.

    Just when Li Junfan was in a dilemma, Wang Shichong sent people into the city to persuade Li Junfan to surrender.

    Wang Shichong assured Li Junfan that after surrendering, he would ensure the safety of the soldiers and civilians in Yuhang County, and at the same time, he would ask the arrest department to take credit for Li Junfan.

    Li Junfan still believes in Wang Shichong's promise.  The fact that the other party didn't do everything in a big way just showed the other party's sincerity.  Li Junfan is also very clear about his future.  The Sui army may not allow itself to command the old army again, and may even disband the army directly.

    Although Li Junfan is unwilling to do this, it is not unacceptable.  After so many years of licking blood from the blade of a knife, Li Junfan also had some savings. With that amount of money that would last for several lifetimes, he went to Jiangdu, Wu County and other places to hide his name and become a rich man. It was not as carefree as here.

    "However, Li Junfan has been in the world for many years,"It is impossible to let Wang Shichong's envoy give up resistance after a few useless efforts.  Finally, Li Junfan proposed that Wang Shichong enter the city to swear an oath, and he would lead his troops to surrender.

    Li Junfan¡¯s request was so rude that Wang Shichong¡¯s subordinates persuaded him not to obey.  But Wang Shichong didn't obey. Instead, he led people directly into Yuhang County.

    Wang Shichong burned incense in front of the Buddha statue in Anle Temple in the city and swore an oath, agreeing with Li Junfan not to kill anyone who surrendered.  As for whether the entire army should be disbanded or retained, it is decided by the Provoking Division, but if it is disbanded, sufficient disbandment expenses must be paid.

    "Everyone praised Wang Shichong's courage. Li Junfan was also amazed by Wang Shichong. Feeling Wang Shichong's sincerity, he decided to surrender.

    As for the other generals, after Liu Yuanjin's defeat, they had no intention of fighting again, so they all chose to surrender from Li Junfan.

    On the second day, Li Junfan led the generals to open the city gate and welcome Wang Shichong to enter.  At this point, Yuhang County has descended.

    That night, Wang Shichong invited the surrendered generals headed by Li Junfan to the original county government for a banquet.  At this time, Li Junfan had great trust in Wang Shichong and came without warning.

    Wang Shichong successfully transferred everyone from the army and entertained everyone with fine wine and delicious food.

    Halfway through the banquet, Wang Shichong excused himself from feeling uncomfortable alone and left in a hurry.  At this time, Li Junfan was still unprepared and continued to eat and drink.

    After Wang Shichong left, he immediately mobilized his subordinates to surround the county government.

    Wang Shichong personally led people into the county government office.  Suddenly, arrows rained down, and fire broke out in all directions.  The surrendered generals who were so drunk that they were no match for the Sui army were all killed one after another in panic.

    As for the army in the city, after the generals left, Wang Shichong ordered his brother Wang Shiyun, nephew Wang Renze and others to take all the surrendered troops out of the city and take them to the edge of Tiao River in batches to kill them.

    The surrendering troops were completely unprepared and unable to resist, so they were all killed by Wang Shichong's troops.  The blood stained the entire Tiao River red. The blood flowed down the river and stained the entire river bank.  There were dead bodies in the river and on the river banks. This massacre unexpectedly became the deadliest incident since the Jiangnan Rebellion.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
