Pei Renji and his son ordered troops out of the city, and set up a formation outside the city, about 10,000 horses, all of them were soldiers of the Sui army, after they went out of the city, they saw the Dahua army regiment coming from the opposite side, the soldiers were majestic, the momentum was immense, and they couldn't help but be a little depressed.

This level of combat is not equal, and there is a gap in terms of numbers and equipment, so it is conceivable that Zheng Guojun's morale is definitely not high.

Mai Jicai, Cheng Zhijie, and Luo Shixin arrived with the army, tens of thousands of horses and horses with bright armor, swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and a cold light.

Cheng Zhijie saw Pei's banner, laughed, and shouted: "General Pei, Cheng has come to invite you." ”

Pei Renji was stunned for a moment when he saw Cheng Zhijie, and immediately thought of the conversation in the past few days, and had the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but he didn't expect Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin to be one step ahead of their father and son.

"General Cheng, who are you?" Bae In-ki asked knowingly.

"Haha, naturally you are serving Dahua, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, General Pei, you don't really want to serve the Wang family, right? How can Wang Shichong have the slightest appearance of a true son of heaven, how could they ever trust us generals, they are vigilant and suspicious everywhere, and they almost didn't monitor us, and it is a clear move to serve Dahua today. ”

The young general Pei Xingyan was holding a spear and wearing battle armor, he had long been dissatisfied with Zheng Guoxiao's court, and when he saw that Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin had become Dahua generals, he had a whim, and said with excitement on his face: "Dad, what are you waiting for, let's also take refuge in Dahua!" ”

Pei Renji hesitated slightly, and there was no need to agree immediately, after all, he was an old general, if he surrendered as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he would inevitably have some general status, and if he wanted to take refuge in Dahua, he also had to make a contribution, so that he would have weight.

He wanted not only to defect to the past, but also to win over the 10,000 generals behind him, and even take the city.

"Cheng Zhijie, how can you be worthy of the high-ranking officials in Luoyang, do you think that it is really a matter of loyalty and righteousness to take refuge in this way?" Pei Renji scolded the other party, in fact, it was also torture in his heart, it was inconvenient for him to say the answer, and with the help of Cheng Zhijie's mouth, he excused himself and let countless soldiers behind him hear it.

Sure enough, Cheng Zhijie was thick and detailed, understood in his heart, and said loudly: "General Pei, this is a bad word, as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord and do things, born in troubled times, we and other soldiers want to build a country, it is difficult to do it with both hands, we need to be united, get together, we need a leader, only the true dragon son can govern this troubled world, pacify the world, and now Dahua has implemented a new policy, has pacified the northwest and Guanzhong, the general trend of the world, and great changes are about to occur. ”

Pei Renji nodded slightly, stroked his beard, turned to Pei Xingyan and said a few words, asking him to take hundreds of loyal guards to the city gate to respond.

After Pei Xingyan listened, he nodded secretly, and then withdrew quietly.

Pei Renji turned around and shouted at Cheng Zhijie: "Defect to Dahua, can you realize your ambitions, how can you conclude that Dahua is where the Ying Lord is?" ”

Cheng Zhijie responded: "Hello, General Pei, and all the soldiers, you listen, I, Cheng Zhijie, will not lie, after defecting to Dahua yesterday, I learned about the new policy implemented by Dahua, so that the audience is millions of people, no one froze to death in the whole cold winter, no one starved to death, every family ploughed the fields, distributed relief food, young and strong men have enlisted in the army, to unify the world, make contributions, our world has been chaotic for several years, too many people have been killed and injured, and the road is frozen to death, you are in Zheng Guo, haven't you yet experienced, How can such a court achieve the great cause of unification? ”

Zheng Jun outside the city began to talk a lot, and the army's heart was shaken.

"Having said that, if I, Pei Renji, insist on going my own way and go against Dahua, I don't know the times!" Pei Renji turned to the soldiers and said, "Where do you go, do you follow this general to Dahua, or continue to work for the Wang family?" ”

"We follow General Pei!"

"Wherever General Pei goes, we will go!"

When the soldiers in the city learned that they didn't have to fight to the death with the Dahua elite, they all shouted excitedly, and suddenly reversed their momentum.

When Wang Shiwei and other generals at the head of the city heard this, their faces immediately changed greatly, and they scolded: "Thief, you want to defect to the enemy and commit treason!" ”

"Pei Renji, are you going to rebel?" Someone shouted at the head of the city.

"Action!" Pei Xingyan had already approached the city gate, shouted directly, and with hundreds of personal guards, he turned around and entered the city gate.

Pei Renji turned around and shouted: "Take refuge in Dahua, calm the world, take this city, and make meritorious contributions!" Everyone, take off your robes and tie them around your left arm, and use this as a sign to break through the gates! ”

"Whoa! Thousands of soldiers responded together, roaring again and again.

Everyone immediately took their robes privately, wrapped a strip of white cloth around their left arm, and then turned against the city gate, where a fierce battle was taking place.

Mai Jicai, Cheng Zhijie and others were overjoyed when they saw this, and when they saw that the gate of Yiyang City was already in chaos, they immediately blew the horn and launched a general attack.

The iron cavalry charged, bursting the embankment like a tide, stepping on the ground and trembling, and the battle suddenly resounded in the sky.

A thousand elite cavalry, very fast, the last to come, rushed into the city gate, holding high the sharp long-handled sword, thousands of horses galloped at the same time, roared like thunder, like a rushing torrent, crazy influx, Zheng Jun who was rushing to counterattack was scattered by the cavalry, directly into the streets and alleys of the city to charge around, the city suddenly the sound of knives was loud, blood rushed to the sky.

Yiyang City, there is no suspense.

Wang Shiwei's command of the troops and horses to resist had little effect, and the city fell into chaos, and the situation could not be reversed.

In less than an hour, Yiyang City was taken, thousands of people were killed, more than 20,000 people were captured, and even Wang Shiwei was shot and killed in the breakout.

"General Pei's ability to react on the spot and outwit Yiyang City is admirable!" Mai Jicai came over, he knew very well that this Pei Renji and his father Mai Tiezhu were military generals of the same level, and they were both senior generals of the Great Sui Dynasty before, and they were his elders, so they didn't dare to slack off and were polite.

"Mai Jia Saburo, haha, you are really blessed, you will follow His Majesty Dahua to fight in the south and north as soon as possible, and you have been sharpened enough to lead the army alone."

Mai Jicai said: "It's all appreciated by Your Majesty, and over the years, it has also been raised step by step from the bottom, but the prestige of Brother Ling Lang Pei Xian is far and wide, and after joining Dahua, he will definitely be able to make great achievements." ”

"Brother Mai has won the prize." Pei Xingyan stepped forward and returned the salute with a fist.

"Since we have taken it this time, we only need to leave 10,000 people to guard, and the rest of the men and horses can go to see the marshal and obey the dispatch!"

"Okay, Pei has long heard of Marshal Li Jing's prestige, and he happened to go to visit him today!" Pei Renji said.

"Let's go together!" Cheng Zhijie walked up and urged everyone to leave.
