On December 28, the second year of Tianci, Zhang Youtian, the second brigade of the 16th division of the Shence Army, and the second brigade of the second brigade of the Longwu army, realized the encirclement of Ulcheng.

The lame man sent people to persuade the city to surrender, but the defenders of Ulcheng refused to surrender, and Zhang Youtian was determined to attack the city.

Ordered Alatemi to launch a feint attack on the western city, and the skirmish battle was fought all night.

In the early morning of the next day, in the direction of Dongcheng, where the lame man was, there were three deafening cannon shots.

After the cannon fired, the city gate, which had been thought to be strong, disappeared, leaving only some fragments and falling to the ground.

The gatekeepers behind the gates were stunned.

At this time, the ironclad infantry of the Liang army began to charge, broke through the city gate, cleared the road, and 2,000 cavalry took advantage of the victory to enter.

In just half a day, the king set himself on fire, and the rest of the royal family surrendered under the leadership of Prince Ma Sheng.

The lame man gathered another 3,000 men and horses, and after entering the city, he plundered them on a large scale.

The main thing is to snatch iron tools, keep a kitchen knife and a pot for every third household, and hand over the rest.

The slogan of the 2nd Brigade is: Surrender the iron and save your life.

Ulcheng has a population of more than 70,000, which is already a large city in the Western Regions. But the population of the royal family in Ulcheng is not large, and there are only more than 1,000 men, women and children combined.

The lame man ordered them to be trapped in the palace. Find some beautiful girls and reward the generals.

This sparked public outrage and riots.

The lame man gave another military order, and all those who rioted were to be killed.

When Chen Mu entered the city, his eyes were full of sadness, and he was very dissatisfied with this.

Cao Sheng and Zhao Jin were also quite annoyed.

"Call me the cripple!"

Soon after, the lame man came to the king.

Chen Mu said angrily: "You are too bold!" It's lawless! I advocate benevolent government, but you are killing on a large scale, are you demolishing my platform? ”

Cao Sheng saw that Chen Mu had begun to attack, so he was silent.

Zhao Jin stood up and scolded: "Such a madman, how can you lead the troops, I don't think you want your head!" The generals of my Great Liang Dynasty are like you, how can we reflect my imperial grace? ”

The two scolded the cripple and drenched him in blood.

The cripple rolled his eyelids and didn't speak.

After scolding for a long time, Chen Mu sat down, but Zhao Jin did not give up, and continued to scold for a while, until his mouth was dry, and then he sat down and asked for a heavy punishment.

At this time, Cao Sheng spoke: "He is a member of the Divine Army. ”

Zhao Jin was indignant: "Such a vicious deed, you should be punished!" If the shepherd does not punish him severely, I will write to the Ministry of War to ask for an explanation. I believe that the great Sima Tang Qiong will definitely give justice to the people of Ulcheng. ”

Chen Mu suddenly felt that there was an extra prison army by his side.

In a unit, although there is an order between the five major generals, they are all generals of the same rank. Taking the Shence Army as an example, among the five major generals, only the overseers are outsiders, while the food supervisors, staff generals, and deputy generals are all people from within the gate lords. So it's extremely efficient. Unless the bottom line of the prison army is touched, there will be no trouble.

But now there are no generals and deputy generals around Chen Mu, and two members of the faction have already emerged.

That's a real nuisance.

What's even more troublesome is that the five major generals in the major armies were all nominated by the generals and appointed by the imperial court, but their nominations were not approved by the imperial court. At this time, Chen Mucai felt that his power in the DPRK and China was weak.

Zhao Jin still wanted to continue to be mad, but Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "Zhang Youtian was removed from his post for reflection, and submitted a letter of repentance to me in three days, and after my review, the whole city will publish the list." Let Zhang Han take over the work of city defense and security of the people, and send 300 million yuan to the people within three days. Return all the girls of the royal family of Ulseong, and if there are special circumstances, they will be dealt with further. Quick. ”

In order to prevent Zhao Jin from continuing to attack, Chen Mu planned to increase the punishment, and he had to execute it immediately.

Tactics such as fines and demotion.

But Zhao Jin still didn't let go, and wanted to pull the lame out and beat fifty boards.

The generals pleaded one after another.

Chen Mugang wanted to be exempted from punishment, but Zhao Jin made another difficulty, demanding that it must be executed, and it must be dragged to the street to be executed, so that the people of the city can come to see.

Chen Mu rubbed his fingers, ruthlessly, and agreed.

Zhao Jin said that the soldiers of the king of Mu should not be allowed to carry out the execution, otherwise they will inevitably protect their shortcomings and let the people see it, but it is not beautiful. It is still the governor who is the prisoner and the penal officer to show justice.

Looking at Zhao Jin's hyperactive appearance, Chen Mu was worried that this kid would beat the cripple to death.

If it is really to fight to the death, there is no need for fifty military sticks at all, for example, if it is replaced by a high-level general, a few sticks will be opened.

There was a person named Ling Jin beside Zhao Jin, and that person had good combat power.

And Hanxiang once offended Zhao Jin, will she be angry with Hanxiang and her father......

"I think it's better to let Cao Jianjun be the prison officer, which is also in line with the practice of the army." Chen Mula's face sank, and his gaze turned to Cao Sheng.

Cao Sheng didn't answer immediately.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Sheng.

At this time, Cao Shengcai said unhurriedly: "It's better to owe it first, after all, General Zhang has a great contribution to the two cities." Now that he is severely punished, I am afraid that the hearts of the soldiers will be chilled. We still have a strong opponent below, so it's better to let him fight the vanguard, if the vanguard is not effective, then the two sins will be combined. ”

I didn't expect Cao Sheng to be able to help the cripple speak, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the room changed.

Zhang Han and the others were eager to try and wanted to help Cao Sheng, but they were suppressed by Chen Mu with his eyes.

——

With Cao Sheng playing a round, this dispute can be regarded as over, but Chen Mu did not spare the lame man lightly, and punishments such as demotion, fines, etc., are still enforced.

The outsiders retreated one after another, and Chen Mu asked the lame: "Your old boy must have taken the wrong medicine, how can you do such a foolish thing?" ”

The cripple sneered: "Don't underestimate the defenders of Ulcheng. The reason why we were quickly defeated was not because they were cowardly, but because they had never seen a cannon.

When the gates were broken, they were thrown into confusion and blinded by us. But soon they reorganized and engaged in street fighting with us. Although we were well armed, we also lost more than 700 casualties and wounded more than 1,000.

There are only 4,600 people under my command, and this price is not small. After a fierce battle, some of the soldiers could not control their emotions and broke into the palace and caused some trouble.

You say, I, the boss, can I carry some for them? ”

Chen Mu nodded: "I also guessed that it would be like this." The soldiers were red-eyed and easily violated military discipline. ”

The lame man pointed to Zhao Jin's house and scolded: "People who have never been to the battlefield, do you know what it means to kill red eyes? At that time, soldiers were not human beings at all, they were either gods or ghosts. And these guys are often the ones who fight the most fiercely. I was reluctant to cut them down. Oh yes, in this battle, Gongsun Xiong's performance was really good. It's fierce. But he is also the one who has plagued the royal girls of Ulcheng the most. ”

Chen Mu bowed his head and was silent.

The cripple smiled and said, "But this kid doesn't keep it all for himself." ”

Chen Mu nodded: "It's a little sane." But you can't always get used to him like this, otherwise sooner or later it will be the next Shi Jinchong. Shi Jinchong is not my person after all, I have no good way to deal with him, but Gongsun Xiong is different. ”
