"Beat the drums, prepare for the front, and take three hundred steps."

The soldiers on the city wall watched the cavalry of the vanguard march forward a little bit, and the shape of the vanguard lined up was very spectacular, there was a feeling of military parade, but the people on the city wall knew that these people would be their nightmare in the next second.

Pei Qingxuan has already given time, negotiation is the solution without using swords, since the person in charge of the city does not want to negotiate, then he can only use extraordinary means.

"Push Shenwei to bring out the artillery and smash the city gates."

"Boom, boom!"

The time of a stick of incense was very punctual, and Pei Qingxuan directly used the most advanced killing weapon in Youzhou, the Shenwei cannon specially used to blow up the wall, and the battlements of the city wall collapsed with one blow.

"Calibrate, adjust ......"

"Put!"

The soldiers on the city wall were already in chaos, and they saw a huge iron ball flying towards the city wall and directly smashing a gap in the city wall, fortunately, it was a wall battlement, and if the city wall was blown down, they would not have to resist.

Although the artillery was very powerful, it was also relative, and it was difficult to bombard the stone walls with the li.

Therefore, the main target of the cannon bombarding the wall was the gate in the middle of the wall.

Wood is the main structure, metal is the auxiliary reinforcement material, so the thickness of such a gate is as thick as a fist, and it is more than wrong to use logs to hit and support for some time.

They still have fantasies, but what they are waiting for is not the siege cavalry, but the sudden flying iron ball.

"Boom!"

This time it hit the heavy gate, and the people at the gate saw that there were cracks in the heavy wooden door, and the metal used to reinforce it was somewhat deformed.

"Run!"

There was a problem at the city gate, and the people waiting in line to open the door were all panicked, and the people in front wanted to retreat, but the people behind did not know where to start and were already blocked, and they were in a dilemma.

Before they could figure out a way to leave, they heard a loud sound and remembered again, and after waiting for a while, a large hole appeared directly in the gate of the city wall, and the gate began to shake when it was shaken.

This time, the people blocking the door were not so lucky, the carriage was almost completely destroyed, and the boxes containing the money were also left on the ground, and the sight of the money still caused the people to loot.

Although life is important, no one is idle when there is a chance to pick up money.

"Open the gates, open the gates."

Some people shouted, followed by more and more people, and the sound was so loud that even Pei Qingxuan, who was outside the city, heard the movement in the city.

"Wait, send someone over again and let them open the gates." Pei Qingxuan decided that what had just been revealed was enough.

There is no need to sabotage any further.

At this time, there was a big crack in the gate of the city wall, which made people feel precarious, not to mention that they could see the soldiers and horses surrounded outside through the gate from inside the city.

The situation now is that no one will chase whoever opens the door, they need to survive, so it didn't take long for the walls to surrender.

The door still hasn't been opened, it's not that they don't want to open it but they can't open it, because the door is deformed and stuck, it can't be opened by manpower, and if they want to pass through, they will directly and violently disassemble it.

The vanguard soldiers who got the situation immediately went back to report it.

Many of the people in the city who were lining up to get out of the city had already left, and those who had just been injured were the closest to the city gates.

They are all officials and family members of the city guard, who let them have such power, and now they really put themselves in it.

There were casualties, not to mention money, but also looted.

The soldiers on the city walls all laid down their weapons and began to organize the people in line to return, and the vanguard wanted to take over the city, and it was not suitable for them to stay.

Pei Qingxuan sent the cavalry in advance to be responsible for the security in the city, and there were also those who were specifically responsible for gathering the officials in the city.

After Pei Qingxuan entered the city, she went directly to the city guard's mansion, and she wanted to settle the loss.

It is not the loss of the vanguard but the Taiyuan Mansion, and it will take some expenditure to rebuild the city wall gate, but the city wall has never been advocated by Youzhou, so Pei Qingxuan is already thinking about whether to demolish the city wall.

The result of thinking is that it is not used for the time being, this is the sphere of influence of the Tang State, and keeping the city walls will increase security.

Received the Taiyuan Mansion, controlled all the officials, checked the accounts of the City Guard Mansion first, and checked the officials for a penny less.

There is no most ruthless only more ruthlessness, and the financial accounts of the city guard are related to the interests of all the people of Taiyuan Mansion.

It is all the taxes paid by the people, how can the officials fill their own pockets, and the professional auditors will soon be able to find out what went wrong.

In a few days, the accounts have been checked, and all the missing money has been counted on the person in charge, and none of them can run anyway.

The officials of the city guard government were relieved of their duties, and all the 30,000 garrison soldiers and horses were registered, and they were selected well, those who were willing to stay were supplemented with household registration, and those who were unwilling to stay were given the monthly salary and sent out of the city.

As for the people who want to leave, all those who have been verified to have committed no crimes will be allowed to leave, and the properties left by many wealthy businessmen who have left will be confiscated.

It stands to reason that if you leave, there will be nothing, but there are still many people leaving.

I have to say that this is worthy of being Li Yuan's base camp, and the prestige of the people is still very good, and as for the family members of the Li family, they were all not embarrassed and let them leave after registering.

The Li family's property also became public property.

It took more than half a month from the takeover to the complete control, and after the establishment of the city guard, the uniform of Youzhou began to be implemented, and the fields were re-divided, and there was no one who the people were unwilling to.

When they truly experienced the benefits of the Youzhou system, the people were all relieved, and they looked forward to their land.

In the first year, taxes will be exempted, and from the second year onwards, it will be carried out according to the system, and then the land will be harvested and life will be better.

Pei Qingxuan presided over the overall situation in Taiyuan Mansion, and did not forget to send troops to take the Yanmen Pass area, which was unusually smooth compared to Taiyuan Mansion to receive Yanmen Pass.

The conditions over there are really not very good, and no one wants to be the enemy of the vanguard with the advantage of troops, not to mention that Taiyuan Mansion has become within the sphere of influence of Youzhou, and there is no longer a way to hold out if they don't surrender.

The victory in the first battle was the biggest gain after declaring war on the Tang State from Youzhou, and two areas were immediately added, and the reputation of the vanguard was greatly enhanced.

Li Yuan was really worried that the vanguard would take this opportunity to attack Luoyang, so he could only send Li Jiancheng to Luoyang to garrison.

What made him even more angry was that Li Shimin took away 60,000 strong forces in Taiyuan and abandoned the city.

In fact, they all knew very well that if they wanted to resist the vanguard, they needed to have equal troops, and Wagang City had it, but it all depended on Li Shimin's wishes.

Li Yuan couldn't mobilize if he wanted to, and although he lost a lot to give up Taiyuan Mansion, it would be the same if he had to choose.

He is a veteran on the battlefield, and victory does not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, the key is to look at the overall strength.

For now, we can only recruit soldiers and horses to resist with all our might.
