Mancang ordered the sergeant to clean up the county guard's mansion, and all the treasures in it were not allowed to be seized without authorization, these were priceless things, and the county guard and county lieutenant retreated without even taking these things away, obviously leaving in a hurry, if they sent troops to pursue, they might not be able to catch up.

"By the way, did you find Zheng Lang? Man Cang shouted, when he broke the city gate, Zheng Lang had not yet gone down the city wall, so he must not have time to use the tunnels here to escape, there were Chu troops on all sides outside the city, and it was impossible for him to escape, the only explanation was that he hid and hid among the people.

"No, General Man, when we broke the city, he didn't know where he went, and all the brothers didn't see him. ”

"Go and find it, who can capture Zheng Lang alive, seal the commander, reward 100 gold, go quickly. ”

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

At the same time, the four walls of Wancheng have been occupied by the Chu army, and the remaining Qin troops have retreated into the city, Ye Shikai gave an order to clean up these Qin troops within an hour, and all the departments did not dare to relax, and as the retreating Qin army rushed into the city, they killed countless defeated soldiers along the way, and blood was sprinkled all over the ground.

"Tell General Ye that General Man has just led his troops to capture the county guard, and the Qin Dynasty officials inside have fled along the tunnel, and General Man has ordered a pursuit. ”

"I have long expected that these people, how can they not leave a life-saving escape route. Ye Shikai didn't think it was unusual, after all, he had also been in the Qin army for a long time, and he was in a high position, and he was very clear about these situations, in this era, the city was breached, as the county guard and county lieutenant, if he was caught, he was destined to die, so when the defeat was revealed, they packed up the gold and silver, and the soles of their feet were oiled and slipped away.

Ye Shikai doesn't care about those who escaped, they are soft in their bones, even if they are caught, it is not of much use, the key is Wancheng, as long as this city is taken, this Northern Expedition will be considered a success.

"Tell the general, Zheng Lang, the commander of the enemy army, has been captured by us. ”

"What, it's serious. When Ye Shikai heard the news, he shouted excitedly, Zheng Lang is indeed a good general, at least he did not run away in advance, but fought until the moment the city was broken, from another point of view, if Zheng Lang was greedy for life and afraid of death, then Ye Shikai would not have to fight so hard.

"It's true, it's just ahead. ”

"Let's go. ”

Ye Shikai turned his horse's head and came to the alley in front, and sure enough, Zheng Lang had been tied up by more than a dozen sergeants and escorted in front of him.

"General Zheng, we meet again. Ye Shikai stepped off the horse, and Zheng Lang's performance was enough to win his respect.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, the court treats you well, not only do you not serve the court, but collude with rebellion and commit rebellion. Zheng Lang scolded, if it weren't for a few sergeants to restrain him, he would probably have pounced directly and bitten people.

"Stand down, all of you. Ye Shikai motioned to the guards to let Zheng Lang go, originally they were still a little worried, but now Zheng Lang has fallen into a desperate situation, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, who knows what he will do.

"Let him go. ”

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

Zheng Lang didn't pounce on him to "bite", but just glared at him with angry eyes.

"General Zheng, I used to be a Qin general, and I have made many military exploits, not that I brag, even if I return to the field in the second half of my life, the private wealth in my family is enough for me to squander it for several lifetimes. ”

"In that case, why should you rebel? ”

"Although the court is not thin on me, but for the common people in the world, it is like a mustard, for a meteorite, a false prophecy, you can slaughter the people at will, such a court, even if I don't oppose it, sooner or later it will be overthrown by the righteous people of the world. Ye Shikai's tone was very flat.

"How can the lives of a few ordinary people be compared with the imperial court. Zheng Lang retorted.

"In that case, then we don't have much to say. Ye Shikai waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take him down, he and Zheng Lang are not the same "thinking" at all, perhaps, Zheng Lang is too stupid and loyal, perhaps, his thinking is too "advanced", not in line with this era.

When he came to the county guard's mansion, Mancang had already let the ironclad army take over here, and there were neat sergeants lined up outside the mansion.

"See General Ye. ”

"See General Ye. ”

When everyone saw Ye Shikai coming, they shouted in unison.

"General, after taking the county guard, the remaining remnants of the army will surrender. ”

"Well done. Ye Shikai patted him on the shoulder and walked into the mansion.

"These people have hidden so many good things in the house, but now these are ours. Mancang put a large number of "treasures" on the table.

"The gold, silver and jewels in the treasury must be registered, and no one can take them privately, in addition, we have conquered Wancheng, and the soldiers are not allowed to trespass on people's houses, nor take the people's property by force, and they must not harm the people. Ye Shikai is not interested in those treasures, they have just captured Wancheng, different from Deng County, Wancheng is the county government, whether it is scale, population, resources, Deng County is far behind, not to mention, after this bloody battle, the people in the city must be worried, if the soldiers burn and loot at this time, the city will definitely be in chaos, this is not the result he wants.

"Well, my subordinates understand that I have strictly ordered the sergeant to be fine. ”

"That's good. ”

"Tell the general that the remaining Qin troops in the city will either surrender to death, and we have captured more than 6,000 people in total, and we are now imprisoned in the barracks. ”

"Good. ”

When Ye Shikai heard these news, his heart was a little more relaxed, Wancheng had been breached, and all the troops had entered the city one after another, and he also asked the sergeants to step up the repair of the city defense, deep ditches and high walls, maybe it won't be long before they will change from the attacker to the defender, and the city defense of this city will become a barrier for them.

"What is the situation with General Zhang Lan and General Wang Lian, and is the battle going smoothly? Ye Shikai asked.

"This ...... There is no news yet, and General Wan Qiyuan has not sent back a herald to inform him. ”

"They didn't send it, you won't go out to find it, check it out for me. Ye Shikai said loudly.

"Whew...... The subordinates will go. ”

Ye Shikai was always relieved, it was fifteen thousand Qin army iron cavalry, if it was defeated, it would be impossible for them to retreat to the city in a short time.

"It's full, how many troops are left. Ye Shikai asked.

"In the two days of fighting, we suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and many of the remaining troops were also seriously injured, plus we had to take over the city defenses, maintain order, and guard the prisoners, and now there are not many troops left that can be mobilized. ”

"You go and inform, mobilize all the idle troops, and let them assemble at the city gates, ready to go out of the city to support. ”
