Almost at the same time that Xie Guangze was captured, Li Zicheng entered Xining City under the response of Li Guo, and the faint smell of blood was diffused on the city, and the corpses of the four defenders were stacked together.

Entering the city, Li Zicheng was a little sure in his heart, Xining was basically stepped on, even if the defenders in the city were alarmed, they would not have the protection of the city wall, and it would be difficult to stop their attack.

At this time, Li Zicheng no longer has to worry about the soldiers rebelling against the water, carrying weapons into the city at night, and conspiring to rebel, even if he surrenders to Xiningwei now, when he settles accounts in the future, he will inevitably die, and these soldiers are tied to their chariots.

"Double Happiness, how's it going in the city?"

"My lord, Wang Anping's people are scattered all over the important places, they have not issued a warning signal, there should be no abnormality," Li Guo's eyes were only excited, compared with the other hundred households, he preferred the excitement brought by the sneak attack itself, so there was a bit of a thief's taste, which was somewhat similar to his usual thoughts, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

"Go to the barracks first and disarm the soldiers in the city," Li Zicheng's face sank like water, in this dark night, all his expressions and hearts were covered, "If there is resistance, kill him!" ”

"Yes, sir." Li Guo turned around to gather the soldiers, he returned to the army, the eight small flags that were originally taken over by Li Zicheng were still under his command, Song Wen quietly squeezed through the crowd, but asked: "My lord, how many soldiers are left to guard the city gate?" ”

"Don't worry about the city gate," Li Zicheng saw that Song Wen was a little hesitant, and couldn't help but smile mysteriously, "If anyone dares to escape from the city, it is looking for death!" ”

Song Wenfang knew that Li Zicheng had already left his back hand, and he couldn't help but be so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, and hurriedly ordered his troops to gather the generals.

The military camp in the city was in the northwest corner, and because it was close to the west and north walls, it was only necessary to enclose the east and south sides, and the soldiers could not escape.

Li Zicheng now only has more than 400 soldiers, less than the soldiers in the city, originally such a number could not besiege the five or six hundred soldiers in the city, but at this time it was dark, he couldn't see the path clearly, and it was a surprise attack, plus he knew that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the city was extremely low, so he decided to encircle on both sides, at least to defeat the main force of the defenders, and then clean up one by one.

According to Li Zicheng's deployment, Li Guo and Song Wen led their respective soldiers to make a detour to besiege the east of the barracks, while Xie Guang and Qin Danian took a shortcut to besiege the south of the barracks.

But looking for Xie Guang couldn't, everyone was suspicious, but they didn't know how to speak for a while.

Li Zicheng secretly sneered, "Don't worry, I have ordered Xie Baihu to accept Liu Baihu into the city, they should be there soon." ”

At this time, it didn't matter whether Xie Guangze really took over Liu Yunshui, they had no choice but to advance, and the soldiers of Xie Guangze's department were taken over by Li Zicheng himself.

The barracks are only four or five miles away from the West City Gate, and it will be there in a moment, and the defenders in the city are stationed in the barracks, Xining has always been peaceful, and there is not even a guard outside the barracks, but it is difficult to attack directly through the earthen wall.

Li Guo and Sun Wen were not in a hurry, their soldiers guarded the gates of the barracks one by one, and the knives and guns in their hands were ready for everything, as long as there were soldiers who did not open their eyes to come out, they would clean up one by one, but the soldiers in the barracks were sleeping soundly, and they didn't know that they were wrapped dumplings at all.

Li Zicheng's personal soldiers carefully took out the gunpowder bag, two soldiers in a group, each guarding a camp gate, Ma Youshui suddenly whistled, 20 personal soldiers violently kicked towards the camp gate, "Bang dang, Bang dang ......" Ten camp doors were kicked open almost at the same time, the soldiers twisted the fire fold, unhurriedly lit the fuse, threw a powder bag into each door, and then closed the camp gate smoothly.

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

The explosions came and went, but when they saw the fire in the barracks, they immediately mixed with the air flow and drilled out of the crack in the door, and the soldiers were fortunately far away, otherwise they would have been injured under the shock wave generated by the explosion.

The barracks were once again darkened, even darker than before, and the smell of sulfur and blood mixed with the various cries of the soldiers magnified the effect of the explosion to the best.

Some soldiers were awakened in their sleep, and saw a sudden fire in the barracks, accompanied by a huge explosion, and immediately understood that # The barracks were attacked by sneak attack, and instinctively shouted, and those soldiers who were shocked to the point of tinnitus didn't know what was going on, so they first picked their ears hard, and found that they couldn't hear anything except their heads buzzing and their heads were dizzy, so they were so anxious that they yelled and yelled while hitting the earthen wall with their heads, thinking that the ears would be restored if the ears were shaken open by concussion a few times.

In the second barracks on the left hand, a soldier was awakened by the sound of kicking the door, turned over and lay on the head of the bed, and shouted: "Who? There was silence in reply, followed by a series of explosions, and in addition to this door, the barracks next door were not spared, and the soldier's three souls suddenly went to the second soul and the other soul fell from the bed, and had to cover his ears and scream desperately.

But he only covered his left ear on one side, but his right hand did not obey the call, and touched it with his left hand, only touching one of the radials of his elbow - half of his right arm was missing, and his heart tightened, and suddenly there was a sharp pain, "Ah...... My hand ......"

Li Zicheng's own soldiers did not have time to enjoy the wailing, and they were busy throwing the remaining ten gunpowder packets into the new barracks to create new wails.

This explosion completely alerted the Xining soldiers, which were the most familiar sounds and smells.

The barracks had long been in chaos, but in this dark night, the soldiers could not find their officers, and the officers could not find their own soldiers, and even if they found each other, because the situation was unknown, no one could decide, and there were soldiers everywhere who were running around like flies.

I don't know how many gunpowder bags are waiting for them, and the Xining soldiers who came to their senses began to flee to the barracks, staying in the barracks, which was obviously the target of the gunpowder bags.

As long as there are soldiers in the barracks, regardless of whether the soldiers or the officers, there are several knives and guns in front of them, attacking from the top, middle and bottom, and the coordinated strategy is simply specially designed for the soldiers guarding the barracks gate.

Outside, the soldiers of Zhenhai Fort were like sharks that had seen blood, the more they killed, the more excited they became, they scrambled to step forward to make meritorious contributions, if it weren't for the coordinated operations founded by Li Zicheng, which required the soldiers to advance and retreat together, some soldiers would have rushed into the barracks long ago.

After the Xining soldiers fell to the ground and suffered casualties in the bold and careful hand, the remaining soldiers were at a loss for a while, and they did not dare to walk to the door of the barracks easily, they even found their own blades, but they could only circle in the barracks, the soldiers of Zhenhai Fort did not get military orders, and did not dare to enter the barracks, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

Li Zicheng was anxious, his soldiers were almost concentrated in this place, in case Wu Shaoling and Zhao Feng organized a partial army to counterattack, wouldn't he be attacked by the enemy? If they want to escape out of the city, with Liu Yunshui's more than 100 soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely intercept them, and there is no light tonight, which is conducive to a night attack, but for Liu Yunshui, it will be quite difficult to completely intercept the deserters in Xining City.

In case there is a fish that slips through the net, it will be difficult for Li Zicheng's next plan to implement.

"Light a torch, and whoever puts down his weapons and surrenders will be spared death!"

The soldiers of Zhenhai Fort were ordered, and immediately lit torches, illuminating the gates of the camp as if it were daylight, and some soldiers with loud voices began to shout to the barracks, as long as the Xining soldiers put down their weapons and came out in turn with their hands and heads in their hands, they could avoid death.

How could Xining soldiers believe such a good thing? When they faced the Mongols on the battlefield, if they fled slowly, they were either beheaded or trampled into mud by their horses.

It's not a problem to consume it like this, and the outside may be bombarded with gunpowder packs at any time, and it is more likely to be killed directly into the barracks.

Time was passing little by little, and the voices of the Zhenhai Fort soldiers who shouted were almost hoarse, and Li Zicheng frowned, "Are these soldiers really not afraid of death?" ”

Just when Li Zicheng was about to lose patience, the door of the barracks finally opened, and several soldiers came out in arms, all holding their heads in their hands, and shouted: "We surrender, don't cut down, we surrender, we surrender......

The soldiers of Zhenhai Fort took ropes and tied them up one by one, and they did not resist, although they were taken prisoner, it was better than being blown in two by gunpowder.

Li Zicheng hadn't thought about what would happen to these captives in the future, but they were of temporary use, and Li Zicheng told them that if they wanted to be released, they had to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

Naturally, the captives did not have to fight, but shouting to the barracks could just play their role, and the soldiers in the barracks were their fellow villagers, companions, and brothers, and their words were naturally more effective.

"Ershunzi, surrender, Lord Li really treats the prisoners preferentially!"

"Sanwa, surrender, if you die in battle, what will happen to your blind old lady? And your mother-in-law, who do you have to rely on for the baby who can just walk? ”

"Brothers, there are their own people outside, and the left and right are just a mutiny, and they are making trouble about food, what does it have to do with us soldiers? Why lose your life for this? ”

……

The soldiers who opened the door and surrendered one after another, but they were not enthusiastic, if they wanted to completely end the battle, they didn't know when, Li Zicheng called He Xiaomi, whispered a few words, He Xiaomi agreed, and ran to find a soldier with a loud voice, the soldier immediately opened his big mouth and increased his voice to the maximum: "My lord has an order, a tea time, if you don't surrender, you can't kill." ”

I don't know if it was the warmth of the surrendered troops that caused the reaction, or the deterrence of the loud-voiced soldiers played a role, more and more soldiers surrendered, and the open space outside the barracks was full of captured Xining soldiers, Ma Youshui counted, and the number of prisoners far exceeded his expectations, "My lord, the number of captured soldiers has exceeded three hundred." ”

"Well, it's almost," Li Zicheng's face turned pale, since he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, then don't blame Lord Ben for being ruthless, go to hell, don't blame Lord Ben for not giving you a chance, "Order, attack the barracks, and shoot and kill!" ”
