Chapter 837: The Great Western Kingdom is annihilated, and the Nishikawa is unified
Bai Wenxuan felt the pressure of everyone's eyes, and finally let out a long sigh and came to the head of the West Gate City
Looking at the Tang soldiers and horses under the city, Bai Wenxuan, the lord of the city, glared angrily and shouted: "I am Bai Wenxuan, the general of the Great Western Army." Who are you waiting for, dare to invade my Daxi for no reason, kill my emperor, slaughter my soldiers, and occupy the city of our state, this general really hates it in his heart, and he really wants to kill you and others to relieve my hatred! ”
Seeing that Bai Wenxuan was so embarrassed now, but he was still so strong and hard-toothed on the surface, Mo Changrong sneered and said loudly: "Bai Wenxuan, I am Mo Changrong, the mayor of the eleventh town of the Tang Army. Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of Daxi, has been killed by our army, and most of the state capitals in western Sichuan have surrendered. Now that Sun Kewang, Ma Yuanli, Liu Jinzhong, and Wang Shangli have all surrendered to our army in response to the situation, do you really want to be so obsessed and unwilling to die for that Zhang Xianzhong? I don't want to talk nonsense with you, now that our army is pressing, you are already cornered, why not surrender as soon as possible, and when! ”
"Hmph, you invaded Daxi and killed my emperor, I Bai Wenxuan received the favor of Emperor Daxi, and Anke turned his back on the battlefield! Hum! Sun Kewang Ma Yuanli betrayed the emperor for the sake of their own rich future, and went to the thief Li Xiao, Bai was deeply ashamed! Today, you and I are fighting for our Lord, and we will not mention such ungrateful people who betray the Lord! Mo Changrong, don't say it's you, even Sun Kewang Ma Yuanli and they will lead the army here, and the general will also be ruthless with them, fighting to the death! ”
Bai Wenxuan shouted loudly, but Mo Changrong shook his head and sighed, and replied loudly: "Bai Wenxuan, don't be so tough. Your Daxi Emperor Zhang Xianzhong is dead, you ownerless people are already grasshoppers after the autumn, how long can you still jump? Listen, now this Chengdu city has been surrounded by our legions, and all the soldiers and horses are already unable to escape! I wanted to wipe out all of you, but my Tang King, considering that you are also a good general, is merciful and doesn't want to be punished like this, so I sent this town to recruit you, which is considered your luck. Let me tell you, as long as you lay down your arms and go out of the city to surrender, then our army can wait for a way out. If you don't agree, you will definitely capture Chengdu, and the whole city will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”
After Mo Changrong finished shouting these abrupt and stern words, he shouted loudly to the city, but there was silence when he answered him.
Bai Wenxuan's face was very embarrassed, he wanted to scold back, but Mo Changrong's words were full of weight and so ruthless, so he had to think about it, if he refused strongly, what would happen to him.
Mo Changrong looked at his face and saw that his cruel words had touched the sore spot of Bai Wenxuan, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and shouted loudly: "Bai Wenxuan, to tell you the truth, now Hugh said that this Chengdu City, the entire Sichuan, except for the western Sichuan area, are almost all occupied by our Tang Army, and the destruction of Zhang Xianzhong, a thief, is already fate, how can it last long!" What's more, if you wait for the soldiers to be tired and trapped in the lonely city, even if our army does not attack the city, how can you wait for the food to run out? And the power of our army's artillery is strong, you have not been taught, if it is really after our army captures the city of Chengdu, in a chaos, it can be said that the mud and sand are burned and the jade are burned, and you and others die under the sword soldiers, lighter than the feathers, and you are not a wronged ghost in vain? ”
Bai Wenxuan's face turned red and white when Mo Changrong said it, and he subconsciously glanced at the soldiers next to him, but found that the left soldiers on the left and right were all looking at him with a pitiful look, and the content in their eyes was known without asking.
Seeing Bai Wenxuan and the people next to him like this, Mo Changrong was secretly proud, so he shouted loudly: "Bai Wenxuan, you are a smart person who judges the situation and assesses the situation, how can you not know the current affairs, and you will definitely be martyred for that Zhang Xianzhong?" I still hope that you can recognize the situation as soon as possible, don't act in vain, and don't make such cruel jokes with the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city. If you and the others are willing to repent and return in time, the town can guarantee that all the soldiers and soldiers will be rewarded, and as for the main general, General Wang, my Royal Highness the Tang King, will definitely be reused. Now in this critical season, where to go, I hope you think deeply! ”
Bai Wenxuan's eyes were dull, and his expression was stiff, as if he didn't know how to answer Mo Changrong's words next.
Although Mo Changrong's words are ugly, they are also extremely right, if they want to fight against themselves now, the final outcome will be the destruction of the city and the army, and the sacrifice of himself and this group of subordinates is really worthless.
Thinking of this, Bai Wenxuan couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
So, now that I am here, do I want to agree to the persuasion of the Tang army to surrender and surrender to the Tang army in this Langzhong City?
Just when he was hesitating, Mo Changrong under the city was already waiting impatiently, he beckoned to the back, and those Tang Army gunners understood and had already started to act.
"General, look, the artillery of the Tang Army is out of formation!"
Bai Wenxuan, who was meditating at the head of the city, heard the silent shout of the soldier next to him, and suddenly came back to his senses from thinking.
Following the direction of the soldier's arms, Bai Wenxuan was horrified to see that in the north of Chengdu City, from the densely surrounded Tang army array, a total of ninety heavy artillery pieces of the same size were launched, lined up in a straight line, and slowly pushed forward together. These heavy cannons that move forward silently, shining faintly silver in the reflection of the morning sun.
Ninety steel heavy dragon bombarders shining with silver gray light were slowly pushed by the Tang gunners to a thousand meters outside the north gate. Next, the Don gunners began to fix the gun mounts, adjust the angle of fire, reload gunpowder and shells, and soon made preparations for battle.
These ninety heavy dragon bombardment cannons, lined up along the right side of the north city wall, are majestic and majestic, and the muzzle of the black hole, its dignified momentum, makes the enemy troops defending the city who were already panicked and nervous begin to weaken their legs and feet.
The main general, Bai Wenxuan, was also the first time he had seen such a terrible cannon, and his face was also covered with cold sweat.
It is conceivable that if the Tang army is allowed to attack the city like this, it will definitely cause extremely terrible damage and blows to the city wall of Chengdu. No matter how high and thick the city wall of Chengdu is, under the continuous attack of the Tang army, the result of being finally broken is probably doomed.
This is simply a battle with no suspense and a doomed result, and in such a situation, do you really want to go all the way to the dark?
Bai Wenxuan sighed, and shouted to Mo Changrong under the city: "Mo Changrong, your words are also reasonable. The generals will consider it carefully, how about you go back first, and after I have discussed with the generals, I will send someone to reply in front of your army's formation? ”
Mo Changrong was overjoyed when he finally said such soft words, and replied with a smile: "Okay, then please make a decision with all the soldiers as soon as possible, and I will give you an hour." If you can't get out of the city and surrender by then, don't blame us for being polite! ”
After Mo Changrong finished speaking, he pulled out the horse's head, and pulled the horse back to the battle with several guards.
After Mo Changrong and the others withdrew, Bai Wenxuan looked at the Tang army outside the city, silently in a daze.
Mo Changrong, the commander of the Tang Army, had already said this, and Bai Wenxuan knew that if he lent him next, he was afraid that everything would be over.
Is it really necessary for me to swear to the death for Zhang Xianzhong, who has been beheaded by the Tang Army, and finally die here silently?
Bai Wenxuan was unwilling.
He prides himself on being a famous general, and his achievements have not been established, but he is too unwilling to die here. What's more, asking the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city and hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu to die with themselves is too cruel and unnecessary.
Alas, the situation is stronger than people, the emperor is dead, and the destruction of the Great Western Kingdom is predestined.
Bai Wenxuan smashed his fist on the thigh, and looked out blankly for a long time, Fang Chang sighed and said, "Alas, the emperor has passed away, and everything is not tied." Now that his mother's situation is stronger than others, he can't help but obey him. Passing on our military order, the whole army unloaded its armor and abandoned the army, and the whole army assembled in the square in the city, and then opened the city gate and went out of the city to surrender to the Tang army anyway. ”
"Yes, yes!"
In a short time, the white flags were hung high at the head of Chengdu City, and the four city gates were also opened together.
Bai Wenxuan, who was dressed in arrows and armor, led a group of generals and officials in the city, and walked out of the north gate of Chengdu dejectedly.
Seeing Bai Wenxuan leading the crowd to surrender, Mo Changrong, the commander of the Tang Army, surrounded by a group of guards, slowly rode out of the rear of the Tang Army and came to stand not far from Bai Wenxuan.
Bai Wenxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked ashamed, and didn't dare to look at him directly, he gritted his teeth tightly, suppressed the feelings of shame in his heart, took a long breath, and bowed down again: "Criminal minister Bai Wenxuan, thank you Tang Jun for not killing!" The criminal minister is ignorant, and he is late to lead the whole army anyway, please ask Mayor Mo to punish the crime! ”
The other subordinate generals, when they saw the lord Bai Wenxuan bowing their heads, did not hesitate, and immediately followed Bai Wenxuan and knelt down to pay their respects.
"Alas, General Bai, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" Mo Changrong was very proud in his heart, but he looked regretful, and after immediately looking down at Bai Wenxuan, who was kneeling down, he said lightly: "In any case, it is really a very wise move for the general to come and vote in time this time and avoid a fight." All the previous festivals and unhappiness can be revealed. Your soldiers, not only can their lives and property be preserved, but I will also ask the King of Tang for a reward for you as I promised before. ”
Bai Wenxuan was ashamed and didn't dare to raise his head, but just bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, General Mo!" Under the stupidity, there are eyes that do not know Mount Tai, and they want to compete with your army, today's situation can be described as self-inflicted humiliation, and how to regret it! This time, there is no face at all, how General Mo wants to deal with us, but by disposal, there is no second word. ”
"General Bai, you and all the generals should stand up and talk. As I have already said, since our army has allowed you to surrender, this previous conflict and all kinds of unhappiness can be revealed, and you don't have to worry about it. Mo Changrong was inexplicably happy in his heart, he smiled coldly, gently raised the horsewhip, and motioned for him to get up and speak.
Bai Wenxuan's face turned red, and after he stood up, the rest of the generals and others also stood up silently, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
Bai Wenxuan stood up, forced himself to squeeze out a smile, and sighed: "I am ashamed, I thank General Mo again for his kindness, your army is willing to accept us, regardless of the past, such leniency, then how can we not put our hearts in our hearts and swear allegiance to death?" From now on, we are willing to work under your army's tent to drive and do our best. ”
With the surrender of Chengdu, the capital of the Great Western Kingdom, the rest of the states and counties of the Great Western Kingdom basically surrendered to the wind, and a very small number of people who were dissatisfied with the Tusi territory were also wiped out by the Tang Army.
After taking Chengdu Prefecture, the Tang army swept through Xichuan in the next month, and the Great Western Kingdom was completely destroyed.
Li Xiao, who received the news of the victory in western Sichuan, was overjoyed, so he immediately selected officials to serve in various parts of Sichuan in order to completely take over this newly acquired land.
At the same time, after repeated consideration, Li Xiao finally decided that in order to fully appease the generals of the Great Western Kingdom and place a large number of surrendered troops, on the basis of the existing thirteen towns and horses of the Tang Army, two more towns would be set up, and a total of 15 towns and horses would be established.
The soldiers and horses of these two towns were drawn from the backbone of the existing Tang Army, and then combined with the existing elite and strong troops to form a new formation.
Li Xiao hopes that in this way, the human feelings and power structures in these two soldiers and horses can be fully dispersed and dissolved, so as to reduce resistance and friction as much as possible for the reorganization of the two towns.
Similarly, among the soldiers and horses of these two towns, like the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army in other towns, a large number of civilian officials of the Supervision and Pacification Department and secret spies of the Security Department were inserted. As a result, the soldiers and horses of the two towns were the same as those of the Tang Army of other departments, and the generals only had the power to command the troops and train personnel, but they did not have the opportunity to reward and punish the good fortune. At the same time, these generals are constantly under the supervision of the civilian officials of the Prison and Pacification Department and the secret sentries of the Security Department to prevent them from harboring dissent and harboring ill intentions.
In the end, the arrangements for the main generals of the fourteenth and fifteenth towns were also set by Li Xiao himself.
The mayor of the fourteenth town is Gao Jie, the former deputy mayor of the second town, the deputy mayor is Ma Yuanli, and the commander of the C battalion is Wang Shangli. After Gao Jie was transferred, the former deputy mayor of the second town was Hao Xiaozhong, the former commander of the C battalion, and the commander of the C battalion of the second town was served by Liu Jinzhong, a demoted general.
The mayor of the fifteenth town is the general Sun Kewang, the former artillery chief of the second town Hu Ben is the deputy mayor and the commander of the second battalion, and the commander of the C battalion is the general Bai Wenxuan.
The new men and horses in these two towns were all reorganized on the spot in Sichuan, and Li Xiao asked them to complete the rectification within three months so that they could arrange new combat missions.
The Great West Kingdom was destroyed, the western Sichuan was pacified, and the Tang Army was extremely strong, and the next goal was to attack Li Zicheng's Dashun Kingdom with all his might.
Immediately, according to the order of Li Xiao, the king of the Tang Dynasty, the second town, the tenth town, and the eleventh town of the Tang army, a total of three towns, sent troops to the north to attack Hanzhong together, and made every effort to open the gateway to Guanshan.
