After a night of fighting, outside the small city of Chenggao, several camps of the Xia army were all destroyed, and the swords and swords were in the sound of killing in the sky, leaving dead bodies on the ground.

The sound of battle outside the field resounded for several miles, surrounding Chenggao, making the remnants of thousands of Wagang troops inside and the local people in the city all hear it clearly.

Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng, Jia Xiong, Fang Yanzao, Wang Junjun and others, standing at the head of the city to watch the battle, began to think that Li Mi and Wang Bodang led the troops to the rescue, but after thinking about it carefully, this possibility is very small, because when Li Mi broke out of Xingyang, there were only less than 3,000 people, and there was no rear base area, where to move the rescue troops?

There are 20,000 old people in Wagang Mountain, who occupy the mountain as the king, and they no longer listen to the dispatch and are very resistant to Li Mi, so the old generals and old people on Wagang Mountain will not follow Li Mi to rescue them.

"It's Dahua's army!"

Everyone thought of this possibility, because Chenggao is located between Xingyang and Hugao, the three-point finished glyph, Chenggao is in the north, Hugao is in the west, Xingyang is in the east, Chenggao is only more than ten miles away from the Tiger Prison, and there are sixty or seventy miles away from Xingyang.

Xu Shiji and others heard the sound of artillery fire and explosions outside the city, this is the firearm of the Shenji Battalion of the Dahua Army, which is very unique, and there is no prince in it, so it is easy to identify.

"Why did Dahua come to save us?" Fang Yanzao couldn't help but be surprised and surprised.

Jia Xiong shook his head and said: "It can be said that Cheng Gao, or it can be said that Cheng Gao is determined to win, Dahua is doing this to release a friendly signal to us, wait, when the war is over, someone will definitely come to persuade us to surrender, if we don't surrender, then next, it will be Dahua's army to attack the city." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and sighed: "I just went to the jackal, and then the tiger, Cheng Gao can't escape this catastrophe." ”

Wang Junjun is a rough man, born in the green forest, and his brother Wang Junkuo has already defected to the Dahua Imperial Court, so he has long wanted to leave, but he has never had the opportunity, and he was worried that if he expressed it, he would be strangled by the military discipline and generals of Wagang.

But at this time, the time was ripe, so Wang Jun was stunned and said: "It is meaningless for us to stay in this small city, the king of Wei has gone and left us, do we still have to be trapped in the city, sit and wait for death?" In troubled times, only true heroes can save the people from fire and water and calm the world. And we heroes should not cut off their future and ambitions, why can't we abandon the darkness and turn to the light and choose the master? Dahua launched the Eastern Crusade, this is to pacify the momentum of the Central Plains, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and others are in Dahua, thousands of people in our city, stubbornly defending, what is the plan? What is the righteousness? ”

The others were silent and did not refute, because they really had no allegiance, Wei Gong Li Mi had been depressed, and he had no ambitions, and now Xingyang was lost, tens of thousands of troops were dismembered, and the general trend was gone. Now that they are in a desperate situation, they naturally have to choose a new way to live.

After a while, Jia Xiong said: "I agree with General Wang's point of view, you can surrender to Dahua!" ”

Fang Yanzao nodded and said, "I agree too." ”

The three of them looked at Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji together.

After all, Wei Zheng is only a civilian official, and he holds an official position in the army, and he has little right to speak, although he is upright, he can also recognize the situation, so he nodded with a wry smile and said, "I have no opinion." ”

At this time, among the five people, only the main general Xu Shiji remained.

Twenty-five or sixteen-year-old Xu Shiji, although young, has risen in the Wagang Army in recent years and has become the mainstay of the military generals!

With a tall body, a handsome face, deep brows, and a resolute look, Xu Shiji looked up at a crescent moon, pondered for a moment, turned around and sighed: "If you don't wait for me, what can you do?" We have tried our best to be loyal to the Duke of Wei at the last moment, it doesn't matter if I Xu Shiji dies in battle, but there are still thousands of soldiers in the city, they are all the pillars of the family, we can't just die in the city in vain, surrender to Cheng, and wait for Dahua to persuade people to surrender! ”

"Well said!" Wang Junyi, Fang Yanzao, and Jia Xiong were relieved, such an ending is the best, and there is no need for conflict.

Otherwise, after a long time, the morale of the army will definitely be restless, and then there will be a mutiny.

Wang Junyi, Jia Xiong and others were not as loyal to Li Mi as Xu Shiji, who did not consider their interests and followed them until death after admitting the lord like Xu Shiji.

They were already dissatisfied with Li Mi, but they didn't want to fight to the death for him, it was not worth it.

Now that they are going to surrender, everyone can't help but become active in their hearts, thinking about how to develop in the Dahua military in the future, after all, they are all generals and subordinates, can they be reused? That's where they worry.

The night battle ended in the second half of the night, and the Dahua army began to clear the battlefield and did not attack Chenggao again.

When the sky was bright, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Wang Junkuo and others led their troops to gather at the south gate and shouted Xu Shiji.

Cheng Zhijie knew Xu Shiji's stubborn temperament, quite the liver and gallbladder of Changshan Zhao Zilong, after recognizing the master, he easily did not change that, he prepared some words, but he didn't use much, and the city gate was opened.

Wang Jun, Fang Yanzao, Jia Xiong, and Wei Zheng took the remnants of Wagang out of the city and surrendered.

The remnants of the Wagang army, knowing that there was no need to fight, no need to die in the city, all cheered, especially when they joined the Dahua army, which they had longed for for a long time, and they all threw away their weapons, cried and laughed, hugged and cheered.

"This is what the military wants!" Xu Shiji stood at the head of the city, did not come down, looking at the surrender scene under the city, and the expressions of the Wagang soldiers, he knew that the people's will could not be violated, otherwise, if he continued to defend it, it was likely that his congregation would betray his relatives and leave.

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly, and then knelt down towards the direction where Li Mi had escaped, and solemnly bowed three times and nine times, which was regarded as a sign of his heart to break away from it, and he would no longer be a monarch and minister.

When the soldiers and generals under the city saw it, they were all encouraged, and they also followed Xu Shiji's example under the city, knelt down and saluted in the direction where Li Mi fled eastward, thanked for the kindness, and left from then on.

"Let's go along."

Wang Junkuo, Niu Jinda and others also had a little knot, and they happened to follow at this time, jumped off the horse, and worshiped together.

Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan and others looked embarrassed, and they also followed suit, after all, they are also Li Mi's former ministers, and they have been brothers for many years.

Xu Shiji bowed, then stood up, untied his belt, took off his armor, and threw down the city, no longer for Wei generals.

The soldiers under the city also took off their armor one after another, threw away their weapons, and no longer wore Wei uniforms.

Subsequently, Xu Shiji wore cloth clothes and walked out, and when he met Cheng Zhijie and others, he couldn't help sighing, and he sighed endlessly, but he didn't know where to start.

"Brothers, we are together again, in the future, in Dahua, we will work together, make contributions, and follow Your Majesty to fight the world together!" Cheng Zhijie is the most flexible person, so breaking the deadlock scene directly made the former brothers break the embarrassment and condense together, as for the small estrangement in their hearts, they need to be re-run together and eliminated in the future.

"General Xu, let's go, Your Majesty has issued a special edict to personally summon you and others!" Pei Xingyan said.

Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng, Jia Xiong, Fang Yanzao, Wang Junjun and others were all a little surprised, they were summoned by His Majesty in person, I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse, but seeing that these former Wagang brothers seemed to be mixing well, and their spirits were shining, they guessed in their hearts: There should be a good start.
