Chapter 181 scared away Pi Jinghe
Wang Lin was captured alive and tied up in the car to surrender on the street, which dealt a great blow to the defenders in Shouyang City, after all, these people admired Wang Lin's prestige and came to him! Now that the main generals have been captured by the Chen army, it is useless to resist any longer, so the defenders have laid down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender to the Chen army!
At noon, the east city gate has been captured by Ren Mannu, and at this time, there is no sound of fighting, fighting, only bursts of wailing and crying, and the people of the entire inner city have come out, kneeling in front of Wang Lin who was tied to the car, and they are reluctant to leave for a long time!
"I can't imagine that this Wang Lin is still quite capable, not only can he make the defenders work so hard for him, but also let the people of the entire Shouyang City respect him so much!" Xiao Yao exclaimed.
Seeing that the people of the entire city not only did not complain about the siege disaster that Wang Lin brought to them, but felt despair and grief for his capture, this showed how important Wang Lin's position in the hearts of the people was!
"Captain Xiao! There will be a reluctant invitation at the end! Now that Shouyang City has been breached by our army, and the defenders in the city have also abandoned Lin Kang and surrendered to us, there is no need to tie General Wang to the car to show the public to surrender! Please be magnanimous, put General Wang down, and stop humiliating him like this! A subordinate under Zhou Luo pleaded with Xiao Yao.
"Are you Wang Lin's old department?" Xiao Yao heard that Huang Wenyuan had fought with Wang Lin for many years, and they had won and lost each other, and when they caught each other's subordinates, they usually surrendered or killed, so now there are still many generals under Wu Mingche's account who are Wang Lin's old subordinates.
"Exactly! At the end of that year, I will just be a thief who barricads and robs goods on the edge of the Yangtze River, thanks to General Wang, who does not dislike my humble background, and recruits me as a subordinate to become a soldier! Although he was later demoted to the governor of Wu, as a soldier, he must have loyalty! Therefore, the last general has never forgotten the kindness of General Wang's acquaintance back then! Although each is now its own master, but seeing General Wang so desolate and humiliated, the last general really can't bear it! Please be gracious to Captain Xiao and put General Wang out of the car! This general knelt down directly to Xiao Yao to plead.
"Please be gracious to Captain Xiao!" Under Zhou Luo alone, there were actually many people who were Wang Lin's old subordinates, and they all knelt down to Xiao Yao to plead, and even Zhou Luo, who was their main general, did not make a sound, after all, these were his right-hand men, and they could remember the old master's kindness, and they also knew that they were loyal and righteous people.
"Generals, please get up! Now that Shouyang City has been broken and the defenders have surrendered, let's put Wang Lin down, but he is the chief general of the Qi army, and he needs to wait for Wu Dudu to personally send it down! The musket team obeyed the order and went to put Wang Lin down and take him aside, and strictly guarded it! Xiao Yao agreed, but he was also afraid that these old Wang Lin troops would be hot-headed, so they let Wang Lin go privately, so he asked the musket team to go over to take care of Wang Lin.
"Commander, now we are rich! The roads in and out of Shouyang City were blocked by themselves! None of the people inside will be able to escape! Wang Lin was captured by the commander himself, so I took my brothers to arrest all the high-ranking officials and bigwigs in Shouyang City! Ha ha! Huang Wenyuan said excitedly.
As the first army to attack the inner city of Shouyang, Huang Wenyuan led his cavalry team to rampage in Shouyang, and the defenders in the city gave up resistance because Wang Lin was captured alive, so that the cavalry team could easily smash Huanglong, enter the military stronghold in the city to capture important people on the other side and seize all kinds of loot.
I saw that Huang Wenyuan put the big names such as Xingtai Shangshu Lu Qian, Assassin Wang Guixian and Fufeng Wang, Shangshu Zuocheng and other big names in one pot, but after all, people are also people with status, so Huang Wenyuan was also very polite to them, and he didn't tie them up like Wang Lin, but just sent a few soldiers with big swords and spears to watch them closely.
Just when the Chen army in the city was running around to catch prisoners and collect the loot, the sundries blocking the east city gate were also removed and emptied by the barbarian slaves, and then Wu Mingche, the governor of the Chen army, led the army to officially enter Shouyang City!
"Haha, Shiro, you have really made a great contribution to our Northern Expedition army this time! With the assistance of the infantry battalion to attack the city, it only took us one morning to attack the inner city of Shouyang and take this hard bone! Also, I heard that you caught Wang Lin with your own hands, quickly take me to meet this old opponent! Wu Mingche said excitedly.
"The world is so coincidental, Wang Lin wanted to break through at the West City Gate, but he happened to meet me entering the city, haha, he sent himself to me like this! Now I have commanded him to be kept under strict watch, and no one can come near him without your command. Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Good! You've done a good job! After all, there are still many people in our army who are old acquaintances with Wang Lin! Haha, since Shiro has made such a great contribution today, then I will be generous! I have just received an urgent report that the 30,000 troops stationed in the north are retreating in a hurry because they see that we have successfully broken through Shouyang! I have decided to let you continue to lead the troops to pursue the victory, and solve these Qi troops with me! And when the time comes, I will share half of the loot seized on them! Infantry battalion captain Xiao Yao listens to the order! The Governor of Pontus ordered you to lead the infantry battalion and cooperate with the forward battalion and the cavalry battalion to pursue Pi Jinghe! Wu Mingche ordered.
"Subordinates listen to orders!" Xiao Yao was overjoyed, Wu Mingche, the old fox, was so generous, it seemed that he was really happy to break through Shouyang and capture Wang Lin alive.
Xiao Yao immediately gathered all the officers and men of the infantry battalion, took Cheng Wenji's forward battalion and his father-in-law Xiao Moke's cavalry battalion, and immediately set off to the garrison of Pi Jinghe's army in the north.
"Shiro, I didn't expect you to make a great contribution just after you came back from Xuyi, haha, now even your father has to listen to your command!" Xiao Maha looked at Xiao Yao and smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right, we are all your elders, and Wu Dudu doesn't give us face! Shiro's infantry battalion was under the establishment of my forward battalion, and now he wants me, the general of the forward battalion, to obey the command of my direct subordinates! This makes me where to put this old face of Cheng Wenji! Shiro, you will explain it to me later, and I also heard that Huang Wenyuan's son was the first to attack the inner city, and he also turned over Shouyang City and seized a lot of good things, you have to honor me! Cheng Wenji also deliberately ridiculed.
"Father-in-law, General Cheng, don't laugh at me, Wu Dudu, this old fox, just wants to call my infantry battalion in vain, so he will let me wear such a big high hat, and ask me to be in charge of this pursuit operation, so that both of them will obey my command! But with my relationship with the two of you, how dare I command you! Xiao Yao said depressedly.
"General Cheng, don't laugh at Shiro like this, although he is sometimes unruly, he will still know how to respect his elders in his heart! Let's attack as soon as possible, so as not to let Pi Jinghe run away! Xiao Moke said.
"Haha, Pi Jinghe has an army of 30,000 people, countless camels and horses, and he only rushed to Shouyang a few days ago, it is when people are tired and tired, and they can't escape! Why don't we go in pursuit in two ways! Cheng Wenji suggested.
"I believe that Pi Jinghe saw that Shouyang City had been breached, and he must have fled first, even if we pursue at full speed now, we won't be able to catch this big fish! In this case, we divided our troops into two routes, and I led the cavalry team, and the cavalry battalion of my father-in-law, plus the cavalry of the eldest brother in the forward battalion, to form a cavalry unit, and pursued by land; And General Cheng took my gunboat and other warships to pursue from the waterway! Even if they can't catch up with Pi Jinghe, such an offensive will scare them away, and when the time comes, they will definitely not be able to take away those armaments and materials for the convenience of fleeing, haha! Aren't these things given to us for free? Xiao Yao laughed and said, giving Wu Mingche a hundred likes in his heart, after all, could he be so generous and let himself pick up such a big bargain.
"Good! Then according to Shilang, the land will be handed over to your Xiao family and the three fathers and sons, and the water will be handed over to me Cheng Wenji, and the water and land armies will advance together, I believe that Pi Jinghe can be scared away without fighting! Cheng Wenji laughed.
Xiao Yao is right, Pi Jinghe has escaped now! When the scouts he sent reported to him that Chen's army had attacked the walls of the inner city of Shouyang, he knew that Shouyang could not be defended today, after all, Xiao Yao's infantry battalion had returned to Shouyang! Therefore, he left a few lieutenant generals to be responsible for organizing the withdrawal of troops and the palace, and he immediately took his thousands of personal soldiers to escape in the direction of Xuzhou on fast horses.
The main general, Pi Jinghe, took the lead in escaping, and of course the 30,000 Qi soldiers also wanted to escape! In particular, the cavalry troops led by the three fathers and sons of the Xiao family were rapidly approaching them, and when the Qi army saw the big Xiao characters on the battle flag, and knew that these cavalry were the nightmare infantry battalions in the hearts of the Qi army, they were even more frightened to drop everything in their hands, and the 30,000 army followed the lieutenant generals and fled to Xuzhou together!
