After the army left the city, the person in charge of the city became Qu Neng's son Qu Yu.

Looking at the back of the army, Qu Yu's face was cold, he thought for a while, turned around and walked to Zhang Zhen, who was chatting with Cheng Shixuan and others: "My lord, it will take at least a few months for the army to return to counterinsurgency, and the army in Seoul is empty, and it is easy for thieves to take advantage of, so before leaving, my father told the general to guard the city and protect the safety of your lords." ”

"Well," Zhang Zhen nodded, and said with a smile: "This officer doesn't understand military affairs, the defense of Seoul and the deployment of troops can be arranged by the general, if there is a need for this officer, the general may as well speak up." ”

"Master Xie," Qu Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that Zhang Zhen was very sensible: "The last general thinks so, from today onwards, a curfew will be implemented in Seoul, and the streets will be cleaned after the unitary hour; And the gates of the city will be opened at the end of the day, and closed at the end of the day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, and heavy troops will be placed at the gates of the city to prevent thieves from stealing the city. ”

"This," Zhang Zhen thought about it slightly, his brows furrowed inadvertently, but he didn't answer Qu Yu's words directly, but turned his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

Huang Fu thought for a moment, looked at Zhang Zhen's expression again, and immediately closed his mouth.

Cheng Shiling and the others glanced at each other, and seemed to have reached a consensus in silence, and finally Cheng Shixuan stood up hard: "General Qu, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the night ban will start at three o'clock (eight o'clock in the evening), and the night ban will be too early?" Besides, the city gate is only open for two hours a day, will it be too little? ”

"Hehehe," Qu Yu glanced at Cheng Shixuan and sneered: "Cheng Daren, what do you think it should be?" ”

"This," Cheng Shixuan glanced at Qu Yu with cold eyebrows and cold eyes, and couldn't help but say in his heart: This Qu Yu changed his face too quickly, his father seemed to have changed as if he had changed as a person, it didn't seem like this before, is this his true nature? Thinking of this, Cheng Shixuan turned to Zhang Zhen, who was standing solemnly with his back hand: "Lord Zhang, Seoul is close to the Han River, the fishermen, the people nearby, and even the surrounding merchants have to rely on Seoul to live, and the people in Seoul also depend on the people outside the city for food and clothing, if you follow General Qu's approach, I'm afraid, I'm afraid," Cheng Shixuan hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid there will be chaos!" ”

"Hehe," Zhang Zhen sighed slightly: "What Lord Cheng said is very true, but General Qu's concerns also have a certain reason, the people want to eat and dress, but if the thieves take the opportunity to invade the city, it will also be a big disaster!" It's very difficult to become an adult, and this official is also very difficult to do! ”

"Alas!" Cheng Shixuan sighed heavily, shook his head, and retreated.

Zhang Zhen looked at Cheng Shixuan, with apologies on his face, and said in a deep voice: "This official knows that this will have a certain impact on the people, but before the surrounding rebels are cleared, for the sake of safety, this official supports General Qu's approach. However, you can brainstorm and see if there is a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Cheng Shi bowed and bowed, and the others followed.

......

"My lord, there is Yangping County in front of you!"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"The city gate is closed, it seems, there is no intention of opening the city!"

"Hey, interesting! Go down and keep watching! ”

"Yes!"

After listening to the scout's report, Arutai sneered twice, then turned to look at the young man beside him, with a flattering smile, and said in a low voice: "Lord Ye, it seems that I have met someone I don't know." ”

"Well, general, why don't you let the troops take a break, make some pre-battle preparations, and wait for Lord Zheng and them by the way!"

"Okay! Someone," Arutai turned around and said sharply: "Except for the vigilantes, everyone dismounts to rest, replenish their strength, and prepare for battle at the same time!" ”

"Yes!"

......

When Zheng Yunzhi, the new county magistrate of Yangping County, caught up in a carriage, the wilderness was full of resting cavalry, he hurriedly got out of the car and ran in front of Arutai and Ye Ping: "Two generals, what's wrong?" ”

"Lord Zheng, Yang Ping closed the city gate tightly, and it seems that he wants to burn all the jade!"

"What?"

Zheng Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and then put on an unbelievable face: "Is he crazy in the right way?" ”

"Hehe, maybe I'm impatient!"

Hearing the teasing in Arutai's tone, Zheng Yunzhong took a breath, and then arched his hand and said, "Two adults, can you allow the lower officials to take a look and see if there is room for turnaround?" ”

"Okay," Arutai put the biscuit in his mouth into his mouth, tilted his neck and drank half a pot of water, then stuffed the lid and threw it back: "Let's go and see it together!" ”

As he spoke, Arutai yelled: "Everyone, get on the horse!" ”

In an instant, the resting cavalry immediately jumped up and returned to his horse.

"Target, Yang Pingcheng, let's go!"

"Boom", the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded on the plain, and it rushed to Yangping County under Longmen Mountain like a tide.

......

About half an hour later, Arutai's independent cavalry regiment arrived at the city of Yangping, and sure enough, as the scouts said, the city gate was closed, and with the arrival of the cavalry, there was a commotion in the city, some people shouted, some ran around, and some people shot arrows with bows......

Arutai looked at the binoculars for a while, shook his head slightly, and looked down at Zheng Yunzhi, who was a little nervous: "Lord Zheng, is it Quan Daozhong who is wearing an official uniform at the head of the city?" ”

Zheng Yunzhi took the telescope tremblingly, put it on his eyes with the help of the guard, and immediately retreated in fright, almost falling.

"Hahahaha," Arutai laughed, forgetting how embarrassed he was when he first used the telescope.

Zheng Yunzhi was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to attack, he put the telescope in front of him again, this time he saw clearly, the person wearing the traditional Korean official uniform in the city was his former friend Kwon Daozhong, he looked down at his new official uniform, shook his head, and then raised his head and said: "Two generals, the lower officials want to get closer and persuade Quan Daozhong, is it okay?" ”

"Yes, Ben will send two people to protect you, you pay more attention to your own safety, you know?"

"Thank you, sir!"

Looking at the power path that was shrunk under the protection of the two shield soldiers, Arutai smiled and turned around: "Inspector Ye, what if he is unlucky and dies?" ”

"Hehe," Ye Ping smiled lightly: "General Qu has an explanation, if he dies, General, you stay as the county commander!" ”

"Ahh Arutai was shocked and waved his hand again and again: "This can't be done, come on, go up a few more, hurry, hurry, hurry!" ”

Looking at Arutai's anxious way of waving his hands, Ye Ping shook his head, but did not speak, but looked at the city.

......

"Whoosh", a feathered arrow shot a meter in front of a soldier's feet, frightened everyone to immediately stop and hide behind shields.

"Stop moving forward or you'll be killed!"

Zheng Yunzhi stuck out his head from behind the shield: "Daozhong?" I'm Yunzhi! ”

"Zheng Yunzhi? What is he here for? The officials in the city were stunned for a moment, and stretched out their heads to look down, but were stopped by the archers beside him: "My lord, be careful!" ”

"It's okay!" Quan Daozhong looked down carefully from the side of the battlement: "Yunzhi, are you here to persuade you to surrender?" ”

"No," Zheng Yunzhi clasped his hands over his mouth and shouted in the loudest voice: "In the Dao, now that the Li family has no virtue, the Ming Emperor has changed the DPRK to a political envoy, and we will all be the subjects of the Celestial Empire in the future!" ”

"Phew!" Quan Daozhong was furious, he stood up from behind the battlement, and spit under the city: "Zheng Yunzhi, you are a chaotic minister and thief, you actually help the emperor to do evil, the Ming Emperor has no way, he actually killed Huai'an Jun and forcibly occupied North Korea, such an unkind and unrighteous king, you even came to be a lobbyist!" ”

"Come on, release the arrows!"

For a while, arrows rained down, listening to the sound of the shield being dangdang, Zheng Yunzhi couldn't help but scold: "In the right way, you can't die well, Lao Tzu is kind enough to persuade you, you actually want Lao Tzu's life!" You're waiting......"

"Keep firing the arrows and shoot him!"

Listening to the voice of the city, Quan Dao jumped like thunder, and ordered the arrow to be released vigorously, and did not stop until Zheng Yunzhi withdrew from the range.

......

"How?"

"This power is really bold, and he dares to fight against the heavenly soldiers, he is really innocent!"

Looking at Zheng Yunzhi, who was sweating beads on his forehead and jumping like thunder, Ye Ping smiled and asked people to help him to the back.

"Arutai, persuasion is ineffective, it seems that you can only attack the city!"

"yes!" Arutai nodded: "This is just a small city, the circumference should be about four miles, the city wall is only six or seven zhang, it is not difficult to break through, Ye Inspector, I promise to break the city in half a day!" ”

"What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, use our army's cavalry to suppress the head of the city, and then send warriors to the city!"

"That's right," Ye Ping thought for a moment and asked, "How big will the loss be?" ”

"This," Arutai smiled and said in a low voice, "Inspector Ye, you can take it down for almost four or five hundred!" ”

"In doing so, the loss is a bit big!" Ye Ping shook his head: "This small city has no moat, we have more than two hundred musketeers, and a hundred grenadiers, I think you can use musketeers to suppress the head of the city, and the grenadiers approach the city wall, waiting for an opportunity to attack the city or blow up the city gate!" ”

"Will this work? How powerful can a musketeer be? ”

"Yes, muskets are much more powerful than bows and arrows!" Ye Ping thought about it carefully and said, "Arutai, you send cavalry to surround this city, wander and harass, we will put the main attack direction here, and attack the city with musketeers and grenadiers." ”

"Well, listen to you!"

With Arutai's order, the cavalry behind him immediately swam away, and the people in the city also moved and rushed to help.

Quan Daozhong looked at the musketeers and grenadiers of the city team, and said with some doubts: "I heard that the firearms are excellent, we have to be careful!" ”

"Now, there is only one battle, nothing more than death!" The soldiers and horses behind him, Qianhu Shan Baoxing, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"General Shan, it's the official who has caused you!" Quan Daozhong turned around, pulled Shan Baoxing's arm, and sighed.

"Don't say that, an adult is a literati, and he can stand up when the country is in trouble, and it is the honor of Baoxing to be able to attach the tail of the adult and promise the country with his body!"

"Well, let's see the tricks of the Ming army!"

As he was talking, a dense burst of gunfire rang out under the city, and the bullets "swished" on the city wall, and the defenders who were shot fell to the ground one after another, rolling non-stop, and screaming at the start!

Fortunately, Quan Daozhong and Shan Baoxing were not shot, but a soldier more than two steps away from him was not so lucky, a bullet hit his neck, he fell to the ground, although he tried to cover the wound on his neck, but Quan Daozhong and the two could still see his blood gushing out quickly, his face was turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye, he tried to look in the direction of Quan Daozhong, opened his mouth, as if to say something, but unfortunately the voice was too quiet.

"Pillar," Quan Daozhong was shocked, and was about to rush over to save him, but was tightly held by Shan Baoxing: "My lord, it's useless, the pillar is no longer good!" ”

Looking at the soldiers who were two meters away and getting weaker and weaker, the center of the power path mourned: "Baoxing, he is your nephew, why are you so ruthless?" ”

"My lord," Shan Baoxing pressed the power behind the city wall, and said astringently: "My lord, fighting is to kill people," as he spoke, he pointed to the direction of the battlement: "If the adults pass by just now, they are likely to be hit by firearms, then we will ......" As soon as he said this, suddenly, Shan Baoxing shouted: "The enemy is going to enter the city, quickly, quickly, beat them down!" ”

Too late for it.

At the same time as Shan Baoxing shouted, countless grenades were thrown from under the city, they swirled, their tails emitted black smoke, fell to the ground, and then exploded with a "boom". In an instant, an explosion sounded like a cannon cannon at the head of the city, and the head of the city was shrouded in a cloud of black smoke......

The cavalry who had been responsible for the harassing attack had not yet made a few circles when they found a thunderous cheer at the east gate: "The city is broken, the city is broken!" ”

When they turned the city wall, they found that the east gate had been wide open, and the cavalry rushed into the city like a lightning speed, and they hurriedly followed, and the city resounded with shouts of killing, screams, begging for mercy, and crying......

Seeing Ye Ping's smiling eyes, Arutai's face turned red, and then he scolded: "These rabbit cubs actually don't obey military orders, look at how Lao Tzu cleans them up!" ”

......

The Mongol army had poor military discipline, and the city was broken too quickly, the people in the city could not think of it, and there were even many people on the street transporting swords, stones and other objects to the city. The soldiers who also retreated from the city would have been killed immediately if they had not immediately put down their weapons and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands! At the same time, some red-eyed soldiers began to set fires......

When the gendarmerie directly under Ye Ping entered the city, the indiscriminate killing in the city was curbed, and the gendarmerie even arrested several soldiers who raped women and wantonly set fire to the city, killing six unknown soldiers on the spot......

The siege of Yangping went from persuasion to breach of the city, but only half an hour, and the casualties were very small, three grenadiers were killed, five were wounded, and eight cavalrymen died, six of whom were executed by military law.

After the war, Arutai was very happy, he found that the musketeers and grenadiers were too easy to use, too powerful, and of course the little ninety-nine in his heart almost completely disappeared.

However, Ye Ping was not very happy with the supervision, he severely punished the cavalry who left their posts without permission, and each of them was whipped with ten lashes, and these people immediately couldn't walk and were left in Yangping County to maintain law and order.

In the explosion at the head of the city, Shan Baoxing died on the spot, and Quan Daozhong survived by luck, although the new magistrate Zheng Yunzhi interceded for him, the supervisor Ye Ping used his wartime power to exterminate Shan Baoxing and Quan Daozhong, and at the same time wrote to Hancheng, demanding that his nine clans be punished.

For the soldiers who resisted in the city, Ye Ping was sentenced like this, and if there were more than ten subordinates, the death penalty would be paid; more than 100 people, extermination; Ordinary soldiers, one out of three, death penalty.

For the rich families who provide financial support for the resistance to the heavenly soldiers, all the clans will be exterminated!
