When he learned that the Xingtian Army suddenly besieged Yangcheng County, Wang Jinsong, the magistrate of the city, and other officials were almost frightened on the spot, originally he thought that the future days would go on like this, and the Xingtian Army had no intention of occupying Yangcheng County, they were here to eat and wait for death to pull them down, but they didn't think that now the Xingtian Army would suddenly come to surround Yangcheng County, and made a posture of attacking Yangcheng County.

In this way, Wang Jinsong and the others are not afraid, you must know that there are basically no soldiers and horses in the county to block the Xingtian Army for them, and there are only one hundred and ten old soldiers left, and they are here to eat and wait for death, if you want to block the attack of the Xingtian Army with such a small number of manpower, it is simply a dream.

So Wang Jinsong immediately took his officials to the city gate tower, lying on the city gate tower to watch, so looking outside, these people were almost frightened to faint, only to see the black outside the city gathered thousands of soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Army, looking at the city gate.

A general of the Xingtian Army rode a horse to the bottom of the city gate tower, and shouted to the group of Yangcheng officials on the city gate: "The people in the city have heard clearly to Lao Tzu, our general said, you are limited to open the city and surrender within a stick of incense, otherwise we will start to attack the city, and when the time comes, we will attack the city, and we will definitely kill a chicken and dog!" Our general also said that if you know the times, you will quickly open the city and surrender, and we can ensure that you will not be killed! Get you out of here safely! ”

After Wang Jinsong heard this, he wailed to the sky, looked at the officials under him, shook his head and didn't say anything, just waved his hand.

The others didn't say much, the current thing is obvious, they can't stop the Xingtian Army from attacking the city, if they don't open the city to surrender, then what will wait for them, they are very clear, they also know the style of the Xingtian Army, words count, if they want to live, they can only open the city and surrender, so they know better than anyone what to do.

So without waiting for a stick of incense to burn, the three gates of Yangcheng County were slowly opened, and Wang Jinsong took his subordinates out of the city gate with official seals, account books and other things, and met Xiao Tianjian outside the city.

Looking at the group of Yangcheng officials who were shaking, facing like ashes, and embarrassed, Xiao Tianjian sneered, since he arrived here, these people were miserable by him, although they got some bribes at first, but the life they have lived in the past six months can be said to be worse than death, and now as officials, they have to come out to surrender, so they are not embarrassed for them, and said to Wang Jinsong: "It seems that you are still aware of the times!" We have spoken first, and now that you have surrendered, I, Xiao, will not break my word and get fat, you can take your family and leave! I'll give you a warrant, and no one will stop you along the way!" You can go! But remember, don't take the ointment you loot here, because I won't be able to keep you and your family safe! ”

Wang Jinsong and other Yangcheng officials looked like ashes, and after handing over the seals, they went back to their respective homes with their families under the custody of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, and were driven out of Yangcheng County in a car.

The Xingtian army immediately entered the county seat, took over the county government and various warehouses, and by the way, the homes of the wealthy families and officials who fled from the city were raided, and all the weapons in the armory were taken out, registered and distributed to the township soldiers, and armed some of the township soldiers who entered the city with the Xingtian army.

Although Yangcheng County has been besieged by the Xingtian Army for half a year, but the foundation here has not suffered any damage, as a long-term troubled county, the number of weapons hoarded here is still considerable, not to mention those knives, guns and sticks, just all kinds of artillery, there are more than 20 in Yangcheng County, but unfortunately some of these artillery pieces are already old-fashioned guys, far less than the artillery currently used by the Xingtian Army, basically can be called earth cannons, and even two are actually iron cannons cast during the Yongle period, It's been almost two hundred years, and it's almost the same as the cultural relics, and now it's still in the warehouse, check the parts equipped, and there are actually gun rods and everything, so all of them were moved out of the warehouse by the Xingtian Army, and people were arranged to wipe and polish them by hand, and they were ready to be put into use.

Luo Li followed Xiao Tianjian and said to him: "General, why did those damn officials let them go? For such bastard bastards, it's better to give them a knife! It's too cheap to let them go like this! ”

Xiao Tianjian looked at the list of confiscated materials sent by his subordinates, and said: "It's easy to kill them, but for us, it's not in our interests!" In the future, we will capture more and more state capitals and counties, if every time we capture a county, we will slaughter all the officials in the city, it will be happy, but it will make the officials of other state capitals take it as a warning, even if it is for their own lives, they will definitely resist to the end! Therefore, it is not important to us whether this kind of person kills or not, the important thing is that we must achieve the most benefits at the lowest cost! ”

Luo Li thought about it, so he didn't say anything more, and then asked Xiao Tianjian what to do in Yangcheng County, Xiao Tianjian stood up and walked out of the county office, looked at the city wall of Yangcheng County, and said with a smile: "What else can I do?" Tear it down for me! ……”

"Huh? Demolished? Don't we want this county? Luo Li was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, and he didn't believe his ears, so he asked Xiao Tianjian.

"Yes, demolish Yangcheng County for me! You can think about it, this Yangcheng County is surrounded by flat land, if we want to defend this county, at least thousands of people must be mobilized to defend the city, how many soldiers do we have in total? How can it all be put here? What's more, the official army came this time with sufficient troops, once the county town is surrounded, then we will become a turtle in the urn! Therefore, we can't let the officials and soldiers get their wish, and we must not defend this county seat!

And once the official army comes, they can be stationed in the county town and grind with us, and they can use this as a base to attack us! On such a cold day, how can we let them live here comfortably? Now that they're here, you can't make them too comfortable! Don't pity this county seat, we have burned it now, and when we can build it again one day, we can't pity this small county town! Xiao Tianjian explained to Luo Li with a slight smirk.

After hearing this, Luo Li suddenly realized, and immediately laughed and said loudly: "The last general understands, the general can rest assured, this Yangcheng County has been demolished!" Hey! ”

Thousands of village soldiers began to work under the command of Luo Li, and immediately started to do a great job, the limited residents in the city, all were driven out of the county, all kinds of confiscated materials were also loaded, transported back to the lotus village, the engineer battalion dug a few holes under the city wall, and a lot of gunpowder was in, and then all the personnel withdrew from the county, and before leaving, they lit fire everywhere in the county, and the entire Yangcheng County was set on fire, and when everyone left the county, only the sound of explosions sounded everywhere in the city wall, In an instant, the county seat of Yangcheng County collapsed in the sound of explosions, and the fire in the city was even more blazing, and it burned for three days before it gradually went out, and even the heat from the fire in Yangcheng County could be felt a few miles away.
