Text Chapter 313 - Eastern Expedition Longyou (19)

The Lintao army seemed to have come to his senses, and hurriedly threw the torch in his hand, so as not to become the target of the Heavenly Mandate Army's shooting.

But the torches were not extinguished in time, the flames flew up, and the sight became clearer, and the third row of gunners saw the opportunity, pulled the trigger again, and there was another rain of blood at low altitude.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The gunfire was dull and effective, but it was quickly drowned out by the choking sound of the Lintao army.

The Heavenly Mandate Army didn't have time to pay attention to these wounded soldiers, and the soldiers of the Lintao Army who could stand were their target, and it was another round of shooting, and the Lintao Army that was originally standing outside the barracks was like a tree encountering a mudslide, and all of them were pushed to the ground.

Zhu Zhihong's face was as pale as earth, he saw the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army with his own eyes for the first time, if he still had a different mind before, wanting to see the opportunity to escape, then at this moment, he even had the strength to escape was beaten away by the Xining rifle, he suddenly lost the direction of his life, tomorrow's wind, in which direction is it blowing......

Like Zhu Zhihong, who experienced a thrilling massacre, there was also Tao Zhiyong, when Zhu Zhihong was in the Su Wangfu, he still had a preliminary glimpse of the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army, but he had never seen a rifle, and Tao Zhiyong was the real first time, the first time he saw the Heavenly Mandate Army, the first time he saw the Xining rifle, and the first time he witnessed a one-sided battle......

The party who was slaughtered was Tao Zhiyong's subordinate, teach him how not to be frightened?

There is only time to pee, and hundreds of brothers are gone, and if the fight continues......

Tao Zhiyong didn't have time to think about it, hurriedly bent his legs, and walked a few steps towards Li Zicheng's knees, "The capital is ......"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Zicheng's mouth, glanced at it, and said, "General Tao, what are you doing here?" If you have a tight rope, you can talk to your brothers! ”

Tao Zhiyong kowtowed like pounding onions, "The governor of the capital, it's all the villain...... Pray that the Governor will spare their lives......"

"Rao?" The smile on Li Zicheng's face suddenly turned contemptuous, "Lord Counselor knows that he is distressed by his subordinates? Why didn't you say it sooner? ”

"It's all the villain...... It's all to blame...... The villain ...... "Tao Zhiyong almost burst into tears, if the soldiers are gone, he, the bare-rod general, will surrender, what benefits can he get?" Do you want to start with the big soldiers?

"I've already given you a chance," Li Zicheng turned pale and said, "But you don't want to appease the soldiers, you have to see the truth on the battlefield, if you really want to fight, it's not impossible, you need to pay the corresponding price!" ”

"It's all the fault of the villain, please let the capital spare the brothers......"

Ma Youshui had already come over, "Metropolitan Governor, the brothers are ready, do you want to continue shooting?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor...... Ask the Metropolitan Governor to ......" Tao Zhiyong was in a hurry, he really cried, he didn't need to brew feelings, from the moment he shot the Xining rifle, he was sad from the heart.

Li Zicheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I can spare them, not because of your begging for mercy, but because they are Han, you go now, it is still a time to soak in urine, if they can't come down as a team, you just wait to collect their corpses!" ”

"Thank you, Governor! Thank you, Grand Duke! ”

The rope on Tao Zhiyong's body did not go, he got up from the ground with difficulty, ran forward a few steps, stopped again, and glanced back at Li Zicheng, "Don't worry, I will definitely let them come and surrender!" ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Go ahead, remember, there is only time to soak in urine!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Tao Zhiyong knew that time was pressing, so he hurriedly ran into the darkness.

Ma Youshui was a little uneasy, "Metropolitan Governor, if this Tao Zhiyong runs away......

"Run? Where else can I run now? Will the remaining hundreds of soldiers be able to save him? Li Zicheng held his chin with his right hand and smiled faintly, "This Tao Zhiyong is not completely a fool. ”

"Adult ......"

"Haha, he didn't have a chance to live for himself," Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "He begged for mercy for these hundreds of soldiers, if I let these soldiers go, can I still kill him alone?" ”

"My lord, this Tao Zhiyong is obviously waiting, not really surrendering, if you just let him go, it is too cheap for him......"

"Therefore, he is different from Qiu Shi of Lanzhou Wei, even if these soldiers surrender, his identity as a general will no longer exist, and the remaining remnants of Lintaowei will be scattered, either forced to return to the field, or join other teams."

While the two were discussing, there was another chaotic sound of footsteps from the side of the barracks, and the gunmen suddenly became nervous, and unconsciously pointed the muzzle of the gun in their hands at the crowd in the dark shadow.

Tao Zhiyong's voice suddenly came out of the crowd: "Brothers, don't ...... We are here to surrender...... Brothers, don't shoot ......"

In order to show his sincerity, he asked the soldiers to light torches and slowly approach the Mandate Army one by one.

Li Zicheng raised his eyes and saw that the soldiers of the Lintao Army did not have weapons in their hands, and obviously did not have the confidence to fight with the Heavenly Mandate Army.

When they soak in pee, they can't pretend to have this kind of expression at all, unless they are all actor-level actors.

Li Zicheng was still not at ease, so he asked the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army to tie them up one by one, and they were still in the training ground next door to the barracks, and it was still summer, so it shouldn't be frozen, but whether there were mosquitoes in the training ground, he couldn't care about it.

When it was Tao Zhiyong's turn, the rope on his body was still there, so there was no need to bother, Tao Zhiyong prayed to Li Zicheng: "Governor, look at these brothers......"

"Rest assured, if you surrender sincerely, I will never embarrass them," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "But the hasty surrender is under the coercion of the Heavenly Mandate Army, isn't there one or two people with different intentions?" Now the city is not stable, there can be no mistakes, and we will only screen after dawn. ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Although Tao Zhiyong is not at ease, but now Lintaowei is fish on the chopping board, how can he bargain? It can only be guarded by the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Li Zicheng left a hundred soldiers to guard the surrender of the Lintao Guard, but he said to Tao Zhiyong: "The general is guarding the Lintao Mansion, so he should be very familiar with the situation in the mansion, right?" ”

"The Governor ......"

"Who is the prefect of this Lintao Mansion? Where is the mansion? I'm going to meet him for a while at night, I wonder if the general can lead the way? ”

"The villain is willing, the villain is willing!"

"I'm going to see the general, and it's not good to be tied up like this." Li Zicheng motioned to his soldiers to loosen Tao Zhiyong's bonds.

Tao Zhiyong's hands finally regained their freedom, he rubbed his arms that had long been numb, and said: "The prefect of Lintao is called Zhang Rixiao......"

"General, let's talk as we go."

Li Zicheng only brought two small flag gunners, plus his own personal soldiers, and the rest of the gunners, all let Ma Youshui take them away, and went to the city to arrest the rest of the civilian officials, "Youshui, tell the brothers, anyone who is willing to surrender to the Mandate of Heaven Army must not be beaten and scolded, let alone raided the house, if it is stubborn to the end and refuses to surrender, there is no need to stay." ”

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates understand, his subordinates will salute first and then soldiers!" Ma Youshui hurriedly bowed down and answered.

Tao Zhiyong led Li Zicheng and Zhu Zhihong in fright, turned two intersections, and came to a high-walled compound, "Governor, this is the Lintao Mansion, Zhang Rixiao is in the mansion today, and the villain has seen him in the afternoon." ”

Li Zicheng looked at the prefect's yamen, although it was dark and it was not real, but the wall was very high, one foot and five feet, but there were no guards at the door.

"This Zhang Rixiao, Lintao Mansion has suffered from soldiers for many days, and the people have no food to eat, and he still built such a high courtyard wall," Li Zicheng smiled lightly and said, "Who is going to knock on the door?" ”

Tao Zhiyong was about to speak, but Zhu Zhihong shook his sleeves and hurriedly said: "Governor, let me go, this Zhang Rixiao, you should know this king!" ”

"The prince went to knock on the door, it couldn't be better!" Li Zicheng arched his hand, "Then there is Lord Lao!" ”

"Don't worry!" Zhu Zhihong returned the salute, and then walked to the front of the mansion, patted the iron ring on the gate hard, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

After a while, a voice came from inside the door, "Who?" In the middle of the night, dare to come to the prefect's door and knock on the door......"

"Su Wang Zhu Zhihong," Zhu Zhihong snorted coldly and said, "This king has an urgent matter to find Governor Zhang's mansion, go and report it quickly!" ”

"King Su?" There was obviously an exclamation in the door, and then there was no sound, and after two sneezes, Fang said: "Wait a minute, Prince Su, let's go to the communication immediately!" ”

"Go and come back quickly, if you keep this king waiting for a long time, watch out for your dog's head!"

I didn't dare to speak inside the door, but I could only hear the footsteps of "knock, knock", from near to far, and fleeting.

Just when Zhu Zhihong was waiting impatiently, a question finally came from inside the door, "Is it really Lord Su?" ”

"It's this king," Zhu Zhihong straightened his waist and said unhurriedly: "Are you Zhang Rixiao?" Don't open the door to this king? ”

"If it's really Prince Su, the lower officials are late to greet him, forgive his sins," Zhang Rixiao didn't open the door, but only said in the door: "This midnight and three watches, how did Su Wang Ye come to Lintao Mansion......"

"You're saying the king shouldn't have left the fief?" Zhu Zhihong said coldly: "Zhang Rixiao, you are so bold, you dare to hang this king outside the palace gate...... If it weren't for the fact that Lintao Mansion was in addition to major events, why would this king ever want to come to Lintao Mansion? ”

"Big deal?" Zhang Rixiao was shocked in his heart, and seemed to faintly hear an abnormal sound at night, he had sent the mansion to investigate, but he had not reported it yet, could it be that Lintao Mansion was really a big deal? What could it be, weren't the thieves destroyed by General Cao?

He hurriedly opened the door of the mansion and poked his head out, "Lord Su......"

"Finally opened the door to this king," Zhu Zhihong said coldly: "This king is here to save you and your family, why don't you thank this king quickly?" ”

Zhu Zhihong was in front of him, no more, it was really incompatible, Zhang Rixiao could only go out of the house and kowtow to Zhu Zhihong, "The lower official knocked to see the prince, I don't know how the prince saved the lower official?" Could it be that the thieves have risen again, and they have threatened Lintao......"

"Governor Zhang's ability to pinch and calculate, and serving as a small prefect in Lintao is really condescending!" Li Zicheng clapped his hands with high fives, patted them a few times, and motioned for his soldiers to step forward and control Zhang Rixiao first.
