Chapter 329: Capture the Village (II)
Immediately, the fierce shouting of killing tore the night sky, and Cheng Erhu held a huge Xuanhua axe and led three thousand soldiers with hideous expressions, like demons descending in the darkness, and rushed towards the water army camp to kill.
The sudden shouting of killing naturally shook the entire camp, and looking at the army that appeared not far away, it was galloping, and the soldiers guarding the camp suddenly trembled in their hearts.
The martial arts were loose, and Sima Yi, who could only follow behind, immediately waved his hand, and suddenly many soldiers quickly shouted: "On the order of the king, eliminate the traitors, and those who oppose surrender will not be killed."
Hearing this, the soldiers in the village knew that Yuan Xi's army had actually killed, as the thick-bearded general said, the soldiers did not have much desire to fight, there was no reward for victory, and they lost their heads in defeat, many people fled immediately, of course, there were a few who wanted to close the gate, but one by one the feathered arrows had been shot out, like a poisonous snake spitting out the core, and the reaper died.
Cheng Erhu took the lead, his loose hair, and his domineering momentum made him full of deterrence, and when a big axe was waved, the soldiers blocking the camp gate were immediately cut out one by one, and the army surged in.
"Fight, fight" At this time, a guard's lieutenant general rushed over from not far away in a hurry, and while commanding, he said to the side: "Go and inform the general and let Gao Tang send troops over"
"Brother Erhu, kill him" Sima Yi's sharp eyes found this general who was still trying to resist, and after his face turned cold, he immediately shouted, capture the thief and capture the king first.
"No" Cheng Erhu immediately rode his horse, the soldiers who blocked the way did not dare to block at all, they all broke apart, when they came to the deputy general, Cheng Erhu held the axe from top to bottom, like Mount Tai pressed the top, and cut down fiercely.
The terrifying momentum of killing made the deputy general in charge pale, and the whole person was instantly frightened, and before he could stop it, his body had been directly cut into two pieces, such a bloody scene suddenly made the soldiers in the village tremble and die of fear.
Sima Yi reined in his war horse, and shouted loudly with a solemn face: "We are the Great King's Iron Guard, and we are ordered to recover Qingzhou, and we are all the future people of Yan State, put down our weapons, and we can avoid their death."
Hearing this, the fleeing soldiers who had already been killed hurriedly put down their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
After Sima Yi saw this scene, he immediately dismounted and asked loudly: "If there is anyone else in charge, there will be a great merit here."
He had to hurry, because Gao Tang City would soon know that he might send an army over at any time.
Hearing this, a kneeling lieutenant's pupils shrank and raised his hand tremblingly.
A smile appeared on the corner of Sima Yi's mouth, and he said, "You're here."
The captain hesitated and waved his hand, walked up to Sima Yi, and said nervously: "General"
"Don't be afraid, what's your name," Sima Yi said gently.
"Little Yan Hua," the captain said.
"Okay, Yan Hua, I will remember you, after this battle, you will be a general, and I will also reward you with money and beauty, and become a member of Dayan again, are you willing" Sima Yi said deliberately in a loud voice.
Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, and then nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes"
Sima Yi smiled, looked at all the surrendered soldiers around him and said: "Don't be afraid, not only the general, but the king also knows in his heart how helpless you are, you don't want to fight this battle at all, after all, everyone is the people of Yan Kingdom, the king is benevolent, and he has long said that as long as you are sincerely obedient, not only will you not be punished, but also greatly rewarded."
Yan Hua's heart jumped with excitement, and he immediately shouted: "Brothers, what the general said is right, the eldest prince has long been gone, it is those who are power-hungry, they want to occupy Qingzhou, the north belongs to the king, only by following the king, we can have a way out."
Hearing this, the soldiers who surrendered slowly stood up one by one, looking at Sima Yi expectantly
"Everyone, what General Yan said is very good, you should also understand, whether you are loyal to the king, the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, or the Hua Yan and others who can't give you a future at all, it is impossible for Qingzhou to stop the king of the iron army, my name is Sima Yi, today I can be vouched for by someone, as long as you immediately surrender, welcome the army across the river, and help the army enter the Gaotang Dynasty, there will be rewards in the future" Sima Yi announced again.
After the soldiers coveted for a while, one of the commanders said: "General, in fact, we don't want to rebel against the king at all, the king not only has the Ming Zhao of the Son of Heaven, the testament of the lord, but also one of the sons-in-law, he inherits the states, it is a matter of course, and he is willing to surrender and serve the king."
Hearing this, the other soldiers immediately shouted excitedly: "I am willing to wait."
"Okay, very good, from today onwards, you have become Dayan's soldiers again, pick up your weapons, defend the camp, and welcome the arrival of the king" Sima Yi raised his sword and shouted at the top of his throat.
"Oh!" The surrendered soldiers immediately picked up their weapons one by one, their faces re-revealed, and the whole person seemed to have found their way and regained their desire to fight.
"General Li, General Yan, close the camp gate immediately and go up to the camp wall," Sima Yi commanded.
"No!" Li Bin and Yan Hua immediately rushed to the camp wall with a part of the Iron Guards and the surrendered Qingzhou soldiers.
"Ignition," Sima Yi commanded again.
"No!"
Looking at the Qingzhou soldiers around him who were suddenly active, Cheng Erhu came to Sima Yi's side in disbelief and said in surprise: "This change is too fast."
Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said: "People can't do without a head, the world will be chaotic without an owner, Yuan Gong has been running the north for so many years, the king is to defeat Cao Cao, become the first king in the troubled times, in the rise of the people and soldiers in the north, the Yuan family is the master, then don't drive the king, the general Huayan, are just courtiers, they can only be tempted for a while, and they can't give the soldiers a real sense of belonging, the soldiers are still waiting for the Yuan family to re-manage from the heart, this is the people's hope, but also the people's heart, since ancient times, the people who win the hearts of the people win the world"
Cheng Erhu nodded in understanding, looked at Sima Yi and sighed: "No wonder the king attaches so much importance to you, don't forget me in the future"
Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "Brother Erhu, don't think too low of yourself, you haven't noticed that the king has been praising you, first Lord Tian Yu, then Director Pang, General Staff Xu, and now Yi, the king just wants us all to owe you a guard to get favors, Yi is sure, after returning to Yecheng this time, you will inevitably ascend to the sky in one step, and the king will not send you out at will."
Cheng Erhu was shocked in his heart and said excitedly: "Really"
"I don't believe it, but you came to me," Sima Yi said with a smile.
"Haha, great" Cheng Erhu happily patted Sima Yi's shoulder, and in an instant, Sima Yi almost fell to the ground, his arm was extremely sore.
Looking at Cheng Erhu, who had no feelings, Sima Yi rubbed his shoulders, and after a blank look, he became serious again, and said: "Brother Erhu, you immediately send someone to the ferry, part of it occupies the remaining ships, and part of it is hidden in the dark, once the opponent's naval warship returns, immediately rush up, completely destroy them, and snatch the warship."
"No!" Cheng Erhu hugged his fists and left with a group of soldiers.
Sima Yi looked at the fire that was already burning in the dark night, and suddenly after a flash of light in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Maybe you don't need to rob it."
At this time, the Qingzhou naval army, which had basically destroyed the pontoon bridge in the upper reaches, had not had time to be happy, and a captain had already rushed to a tall general, pointing to the rear and saying in fear: "General, the camp seems to have an accident."
"What are you talking about" Ma Jing looked back in shock, and when he found the dazzling fire in the dark, he suddenly trembled and said, "It's a trick."
"General, what should I do? Once the camp is lost, where do we go, abandon the big ship, and return to Gaotang? A lieutenant general said worriedly, without the camp, how to stop the warship for defense, how to cultivate the soldiers, how to maintain the food, the navy is not a road army, and there is a lot to prepare.
Ma Jing showed a wry smile and said: "Once we withdraw, the army of the second prince will cross the river immediately, and no one can stop it at all times, and it is useless to go to Gaotang."
"What then?"
"General, actually," a lieutenant said nervously.
"Ben will understand, needless to say, the will of heaven is like this, why bother to hold on, come down! I can be regarded as doing my last part for the eldest prince" Ma Jing sighed, hearing this, the generals not only did not grieve, but breathed a sigh of relief, this battle was too entangled for them.
And the Jiao Touch on the riverbank naturally saw the fire in the distance, and immediately laughed loudly, and then a general rushed over excitedly: "General, Ma Jing ordered the navy to put down its weapons and prepare to surrender to our army, hoping that the general can open the net."
"Well, tell them that as long as they surrender, everything is not to blame, and Ben will ask the king for credit on their behalf," Jiao Touch announced in a loud voice.
"No!"
"Give the order to go down and build the pontoon bridge again, as fast as possible, this river has been holding us back for four days," Jiao Zhi ordered solemnly.
"No"
When Ma Jing's water army had just surrendered, outside the water army camp, I saw Hua Yan with 5,000 soldiers had rushed over, Sima Yi stood on the camp wall, smiled coldly, and ordered: "Without the general's order, no one is allowed to do it, this future is my Dayan's soldiers, I will have a good chat with this Hua general."
Hearing this, he had already put on his bow and aimed at the soldiers below, and stopped one by one.
