Chapter 749: A city at night

Black night, black iron flow.

The sound of horses' hooves on the bluestone pavement was endless, and the black flag was not submerged in the night, but looked so dazzling. The long sword reflected an unbeatable brilliance in the light of the fire, smashing all obstacles in front of the warhorse.

The defenders of Qingyuan City said that they didn't expect that the city gate was actually broken from the inside, and it was by a group of unarmed civilians.

Once, they were happy and proud because the city lord dared to detain these tens of thousands of Sui people, and they all felt that even the Southern Yan Emperor Murong Yan did not dare to accuse the city lord of such a practice, at that time, it was as if the city lord was the leader who waved his army straight into the Pingshang Road, and it was Qingyuan City that won the victory, not Murong Yongduo.

They have shouted and rejoiced.

But now, these tens of thousands of Sui people have become their nightmare.

At the beginning, when the Sui people poured over, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate realized that things were not good, but they did not dare to do it easily without the order from above, and the archers all pulled their bowstrings and set up their feather arrows, just waiting for the order of the general above. But the generals above them did not dare to take responsibility, and in case of provoking a popular uprising, it would not be one or two people who would lose their heads.

The people sent to the city lord's mansion to ask for instructions were blocked by the chaotic people on the street, and finally arrived at the city lord's mansion to ask the city lord Fu Zhengnan to make a decision, Fu Zhengnan was assassinated on the way, although he was not too seriously injured, but was forced back to the city lord's mansion by the rioting crowd. There was no way to control the situation at the city gate, and the general, who could not get Fu Zhengnan's order, ordered to expel the people with sticks, but when the soldiers and the people were mixed together, they realized that they had been deceived, and those people were obviously organized, and the soldiers rushed over, and those people rushed forward at once and swallowed hundreds of soldiers, so that the archers on the city wall did not dare to release their arrows.

Immediately after the people, they began to remove the stones and sandbags that blocked the city gates, and it was obvious that someone was in charge of the command, but by this time the situation was already chaotic and difficult to control.

Finally, I looked forward to the reinforcements from the big camp, but before I could control the scene, there was another fire on the side of the big camp, and I don't know what happened, and the general who led the team immediately divided more than half of the troops and rushed back to the big camp.

Half of Qingyuan City is in chaos, but who would have thought that this mess was actually prompted by just a group of Xiao Riding School?

Sometimes things happen so weird, so weird that you can't make sense of it.

When the general guarding the gate found that no more killing could not stop the people from snatching the city gate, the cavalry of the Black Flag Army outside the city had already rushed over, and the fire in the city in the dark night was a signal, although the Xiao Cavalry School in the city and the Black Flag Army outside the city had not been in contact, but this tacit understanding did not need to be contacted.

When the defenders of Nanyan began to act against the people, it was even more solid, and it was rumored that in order to let the people in the city defend the city with all their hearts, Fu Zhengnan ordered to kill all the tens of thousands of Sui people. This first spread among the soldiers, and it is not known where the source came from.

But the rumor spread so fast that the soldiers defending the city were extremely conflicted. There is no doubt that if this order is true, then it is definitely a military order of the most idiots, and everyone knows that the slaughter of the people at this time will not only be good, but will provoke a popular uprising.

Later, when the soldiers who came from the camp saw that the officers and soldiers guarding the city began to release arrows, they thought that the city lord had really given such an order, so they were also extremely resistant.

It's a perfect game, so perfect that it's amazing.

The soldiers were reluctant to kill, and the people wanted to escape, and soon the things blocked in the hole in the city gate were hollowed out, and the city gate was slowly opened from the inside.

The moment the gates opened, a neat shout came from outside the city.

"All the people should take refuge on both sides of the street, and those who do not wear armor will not be killed!"

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army shouted again and again and rushed in from outside the city gates, and the defenders on the city walls could not stop the iron flow from pouring in. The people were surprisingly calm at this time, apparently having been told in advance that they would immediately avoid the gates as soon as they were opened, in case they were knocked down by the cavalry.

Therefore, the Black Flag Army rushed in and caused almost no casualties, and the cavalry quickly took control of many places along the street like a cobweb spreading out amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Sui people.

"Seal the road!"

After Fang Xie entered the city, he issued the first military order, and the Qilin immediately led five hundred heavy armored infantry to seal the horse road under the city, and the defenders on the city wall condescended to occupy the advantage, but even so, it was difficult to shake the barrier composed of five hundred heavy armor, and soon, a thick layer of corpses piled up in front of these five hundred heavy armor.

"Chen Xiaoru, send a signal, let the people from the Xiao Riding School in the city come over immediately, don't hurt them by mistake!"

Fang Jie's second military order was issued, and Chen Xiaoru hurriedly asked people to shoot out a ball of fireworks into the sky, which was the unique contact method of the Xiao Riding School, and the fireworks that bloomed were a red flame.

"Chen Dingnan, take your people to trample on the camp of the Southern Yan Army, and those who surrender will not be killed, and they will resist Zhulian!"

"Whoa!"

Chen Dingnan immediately received the order and went out with his cavalry battalion.

"Xiahou, take your people along the street to put order in order, let the people go back to their homes, and tell them that after the gong is sounded three times, all the people on the street will be captured by Fu Zhengnan's subordinates. Those who return home according to the rules will line up in the granary in the city from tomorrow, and each household will be given 50 catties of rice! ”

"Whoa!"

Xiahou Baichuan also received the order.

"Where is Fu Zhengnan?"

Fang Xie asked after finishing his instructions.

"General Hui, it should be retreating to the south of the city."

Liu Xuri of the most advanced city replied with a fist.

"The people who took you, don't search along the way, rush directly to the south gate, if Fu Zhengnan has escaped from the city, continue to chase, if you stop it, catch me alive!"

After Fang Xie finished speaking, he got down from the white lion and strode towards the city.

……

……

By the time the Black Flag Army's infantry brigade poured in, the battle was over. When the Nanyan army in the camp came to expel the people, when they saw the cavalry of the Black Flag Army entering the city, they heard the saying that those who do not bring armor will not be killed, and most of them lost their weapons, and obediently stood on the side of the road and watched the cavalry of the Black Flag Army rush over.

I don't know who reminded me that there was still one of the five killings that could not be worn in the number coat, and the soldiers of the Southern Yan Army who surrendered immediately began to undress, as fast as if there was a beautiful woman with a red stripe and crossed legs lying in front of everyone.

As for the defenders on the city walls, they initially tried to prevent the Black Flag soldiers from landing on the city with feathered arrows, but when they realized that it was pointless to resist desperately on the walls, they began to throw away their weapons and surrender. Someone somewhere found a piece of white cloth and tore it and hung it on a spear as a white flag, and then lined up to come down from it, and then according to the instructions of the Black Flag Army, they gathered at the school yard of the big camp.

There were no tragic street fights, which was the best outcome for both sides.

Groups of troops gathered in the camp in an orderly manner, and those patrolling back and forth on the streets became soldiers of the Black Flag Army. They rang the gong and shouted loudly, warning the people to return to their homes at once and not to go out.

Fang Xie walked along the street, but his mood was surprisingly calm. Everyone's joy was palpable, and even the slightest smile on his lips seemed to be stingy.

"Did anyone take advantage of the chaos to loot people's shops?"

Fang Xie asked as he walked.

"Yes!"

Chen Xiaoru followed behind him and replied: "This kind of thing is always inevitable, almost the entire Qingyuan City is in chaos, many scoundrels take advantage of this to come out to rob, the famous shops in the city have been robbed of several, but the loss is not too big, the big shops have hired nursing thugs." As for the small shops, they were robbed even more. They are all ordinary people, and many of them have been emptied of their shops. What's more, they even robbed people's houses, and they couldn't afford to provoke those rich families to rob the people, and some people killed people. ”

The task of the people of the Xiao Riding School after entering the city is to ensure security, so the news in this regard is summarized very quickly.

"How many were caught?"

Fang asked.

"There are hundreds of people who make trouble in Beicheng, but there should be more hidden. The subordinates on the south side have not yet been fully controlled, and it is not known how many people took advantage of the fire to rob. ”

"Don't sleep at the Riding School tonight."

Fang Xie instructed as he walked: "The matter of the defenders' rout can be put aside, and even whether Fu Zhengnan can be captured or not can be put aside." But there are two things that cannot be put away, not for a moment...... First, I asked Liu Xuri's Flying Leopard Army to mobilize elite cavalry to cooperate with the Xiao Cavalry School, and in the second half of the night, I must take down all the scoundrels who took advantage of the fire to rob them, and escort them to the granary early tomorrow morning. Second...... Wei Xiting"

"The subordinates are here!"

Wei Xiting hurriedly followed, leaning slightly to listen to Fang Jie's instructions.

"Let Qin Yuan transfer a thousand soldiers to your disposal, and count the granaries of Qingyuan City's treasury. First, to know how many people there are in the city, go to the city lord's mansion to check, there must be a file. Fifty catties of rice per household were distributed, and the granary should be sufficient. Second, find out how many weapons and armor there are in the treasury and how much money you have. I'll give you three days to take it out. The rest can be put aside, but all the food that will be distributed tomorrow morning must be ready. ”

"Subordinates obey"

Wei Xiting hurriedly left with people, he and Chen Xiaoru had the heaviest task tonight, Chen Xiaoru was responsible for arresting and policing, and he had to face a pile of ledgers.

"Nie Xiaoju"

"What does the general command?"

Nie Xiaoju hurriedly came up and asked.

"Take my own soldiers as a law enforcement team, and find that there are Black Flag Army soldiers who take the opportunity to make trouble, whether it is robbing other people's things or defiling other people's daughters, as long as they violate military law, they will all be taken tonight, and they will be taken to the granary with the people captured by Chen Xiaoru early tomorrow morning."

"Whoa!"

"And"

Fang explained: "The rich families in the city are all restricted from going out, and they are sent to guard it, and no one is allowed to leave, but they are not allowed to be hurt for no reason." If Fu Zhengnan or his family is caught and sent back to the City Lord's Mansion, don't be hurt. And also...... Since I promised Fu Zhengming and Shi Dake not to harm their families, these two families also sent troops to protect them. Although the two of them didn't do much, since I agreed, I had to do it. ”

"Whoa!"

Fang Xie walked along the street and thought all the way, and ordered everything he could think of.

"Please take charge of the overall situation tonight, and you can ask him if you don't know anything."

"What about you, General?"

The pro-soldier asked.

Fang Xie shook his head slightly and did not answer. When he walked to the gate of the city lord's mansion, a group of cavalry roared from the opposite side, and when he was far away, he saw Liu Xuri jumping down from his horse, and quickly came over and hugged his fists and said: "General, people have taken it!" Before he left the city, he was caught up by his subordinates with troops, and one fell! ”

Fang Xie finally smiled this time, and then nodded: "Please come and see me from the city lord." ”
