When Yan Xing came roaring with a thousand horsemen and poured into the city gate in one fell swoop, the guards of Yangcheng could not resist and were defeated, and Yan Xing soon took control of the city gate, city walls, military camps in the city, county temples and other important places.

The fiercest battle in this battle was the place where Ma Lin and forty warriors in the army defended the city gate.

At that time, after Ma Lin and others controlled the city gate, the reinforcements of the Yangcheng defenders in the city also quickly arrived here, Ma Lin and others took advantage of the characteristics of the road at the city gate that it was not easy to open a queue, holding swords, and the Yangcheng soldiers who tried to recapture the city gate were in close contact, and they did not let the Yangcheng soldiers advance half a step.

The terrain of the corridor at the city gate was narrow, and the city defenders could not pour in large numbers to spread out the formation, so they could only divide into several groups and constantly attack Ma Lin and others who were defending the city gate, hoping to drive these enemies out of the city before the enemy cavalry outside the city arrived, so that they could close the city gate in time and climb the city wall to defend against the enemy.

However, Ma Lin and he took these forty warriors in the army, all of whom were elite soldiers selected from the Yan Xing camp, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades, taking advantage of the geographical advantage occupied in advance, and repelled the three attacks of the guards in succession.

Seeing that the short-range battle could not be won, and these enemies were very fierce, they could not be taken for a while, and the sound of war horses galloping was faintly heard outside the city, and the soldiers defending the city reached this critical point, and the anxious mood was also overflowing, a team of archers on the city wall was urgently transferred down, and began to shoot arrows continuously at Ma Lin and others who blocked the passage at the city gate.

The passage at the gate of the city was narrow, and it was impossible to disperse the soldiers to avoid the arrows, so in the face of the dense rain of arrows, although they were covered with heavy armor, several soldiers were shot by several arrows at the same time, and the blood-stained armor fell unwillingly.

Ma Lin hurriedly asked the soldiers to hide behind the firewood cart, and then used the dead corpses in the Yongdao as shields to resist the arrows that kept accumulating, and at this time, the defenders in the city also sent a team of elite armor soldiers wearing heavy armor, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity when Ma Lin and the others were suppressed by bows and arrows and couldn't raise their heads, and drove them all out of the city in one go.

At the critical moment, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near stimulated Ma Lin and the others, and Xu Huang had rushed to the city with a hundred leading Fei Lian horses.

"Quick, push the cart up, and give me a backrush into the city!"

At this time, Ma Lin also disregarded his own danger, took the remaining twenty or so soldiers, braved the oncoming rain of arrows, helped up the firewood cart stuck in the middle of the city gate road, pushed the wheels to turn, and rushed into the city shouting.

The soldiers on both sides of the firewood cart were also two people carrying a dead body, blocking in front of them, blocking the dense arrows fired from both sides after rushing through the city gate, and together covering Ma Lin and several people to push the firewood cart into the city.

And Xu Huang behind him with Fei Lian cavalry, also poured into the city gate in one fell swoop, the cavalry rushed wildly, the archers behind the city gate rushed to the ground behind, the knight's knife and spear slashed and stabbed, and soon wiped out all the guards on the inside of the city gate.

···

Half an hour later, Yan Xing stood on the wall of Yangcheng, looking at the dust and black smoke rising from the west of the city, the noisy shouting and killing in his ears were still faintly audible, he held the ring knife on his waist, silent.

The flying cavalry that had been captured by Xu Rongyu had been dispatched, and the corpses of the warriors who had died in battle at the city gate had also been collected in advance, and the progress of controlling various places in the city had also been reported one after another.

There were originally 2,000 soldiers in Yangcheng, and 500 were divided into 500 at the city gate, and 500 were divided into the spring society outside the city, and there were 1,000 soldiers left behind in the barracks in the city.

After the defenders of the barracks in the city were defeated, they hid in the barracks one after another, gathered the soldiers who had not yet left the camp, and tried to defend the corner, but when Yan Xing sent people to surrender with those surrendered city gate soldiers and sent archers to launch rockets into the camp to deter the remaining soldiers, the Yangcheng soldiers in the barracks who had no way to escape quickly knew that the general situation in the city had gone, so they immediately put down their weapons and took the initiative to surrender to the camp.

After centralizing and controlling these disarmed troops and sending people to strictly guard them, Yan Xing hurried to the city gate to ensure that this important place of the city was firmly controlled by his own side.

As for the officials in the county temple in the city, most of them have left the city to go to the shrine in the west of the city to worship today, and the remaining officials and fighting food scholars do not have the slightest courage to resist, and after the soldiers rushed into the county temple, they fell to the ground and surrendered.

That Yangcheng Ling had already left the city before, and at this moment, he was afraid that he would either die under the knife of the Xiliang soldiers outside the city, or he had seen the opportunity in advance, and he had already fled lightly.

Yan Xing had asked Xu Huang to send knights along the main streets of the city to read aloud to Lilu, where the residents of the city were located, "Today, the king has put down the rebellion here, the rebels and thieves have been awarded, and the whole city will be on alert immediately, and the idle people shall not go out, and the sergeants of all departments shall return to the army, and shall not cause trouble and disturb the people".

In addition, Yan Xing also secretly asked Yan Xing to take a team of soldiers, and let Liu Qiao, who was detained in the camp, lead the way, and go to the Lilu where Xi Zhicai was located, and secretly protect Xi Zhicai and his family, that is, to prevent them from being harmed by the rebels in the city, the ruffians who took advantage of the chaos, and the evil boys, and to keep an eye on them, so that they could not take advantage of the war to sneak out of the city and run away.

After Yan Xing finished arranging these affairs, Xu Rong, who had already won Yangcheng, also came to the city with a large number of soldiers and horses.

Xu Rong went out to Yuzhou this time, with 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the attack on Yangcheng battle, in order to hide his whereabouts, Xu Rong did not bring all the soldiers and horses out of Yuyuan Pass, but only brought 5,000 men and horses, in addition to Yan Xing's more than 1,000 horses, as well as Li Meng's 1,000 cavalry who had continued to go to Yangzhai along Yingshui, Xu Rong also had nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, raiding and encircling the officials, soldiers, and people who sacrificed in the Spring Society outside the city, it was as simple as galloping horses and shooting hunting in Shanglin Yuan, and it didn't take long to annihilate all the enemies outside the city.

When Xu Rong entered the city, Yan Xing also noticed that there were a lot of captured ox carts and carriages in the rear of his team, some of which were loaded with goods and women, and some were full of carts of human heads······

These are ordinary Qianshou who want to rush to the shrine to worship and pray or go to see the excitement on the Spring Shrine Day, but under the indiscriminate impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they also became innocent ghosts under the knife, and the head on the neck was also cut off at will by the Liangzhou soldiers who cleaned the battlefield, and thrown into the car, ready to be taken back to Luoyang Kyoto as a show off of their military exploits.

Xu Rong is a veteran general in the army who has been fighting for many years, as soon as he entered the city, he had already found the orderly and stable order in the city, he raised his thick eyebrows, and did not say anything, first let his deputy general take the soldiers and horses to the barracks in the city to station, and divide the troops to take over the city gate, city wall, county temple, and surrender troops, and quietly took the control of Yangcheng from Yan Xing's hands.

Looking at the streets of the city that were already under martial law and there was no one in the city, Xu Rong sneered, beckoned Xu Kun, Yan Xing, Wang Fang and other generals and a cadre of personal soldiers to escort them, and patted their horses and came to the east city wall.

After getting off the horse, Xu Rong took everyone to "puff pon" and quickly climbed the gatehouse, climbed high and looked into the distance, the rippling Yingshui flowed in the south of Yangcheng, continuously, running through nearly half of the Yuzhou Thorn History Department, and along the official road of Yingshui to the southeast direction of the fast horse galloping, within half a day, it was able to rush to Yingchuan County's county under the Yangzhai City.

That is also the place where the current Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling led his troops to station.

"I have sent Li Meng, led a thousand elite horsemen, down the river, covering Yang Zhai, and then made a big show after arriving at the city, I am afraid that by that time, Kong Ling, a rotten Confucian, will suddenly be policed, and will be frightened by the majestic posture of my Guanxi soldiers and horses, and fall off the couch!"

Xu Rong won a big battle without much effort today, and successfully won Yangcheng, he was in a good mood, and he rarely laughed with his subordinates.

Wang Fang had just followed Xu Rong outside the city to kill all the officials and soldiers who sacrificed to the shrine god, and after the war, he had won the most heads compared to the number of soldiers and horses in his department, he was also proud at this time, and when he heard Xu Rong's joke, he immediately laughed, flattered Xu Rong and said:

"The general's soldiers are like divine help, these Kwantung soldiers are so weak and unbearable to fight, just ask this Yuzhou place, who else can stop the general's soldiers, the rebellious corrupt Confucian Kong Ling and others, the death period is approaching!"

After listening to Wang Fang's words, Xu Rong chuckled, he withdrew his gaze from the outside of the city, looked at the generals beside him, and when he saw Yan Xing standing beside Xu Kun, he suddenly smiled and said:

"Fang Cai only cared about the affairs of the city, but forgot the greatest hero of today, gentlemen, you still have to learn more from Yan Duwei's tiger courage, if there is no Yan Duwei's initiative to ask, how can we stand on the wall of this Yang City so easily."

Xu Rong's words praised Yan Xing's merits, but Yan Xing did not dare to be proud of his merits, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"The general has won the award, and he is just a person who struggles in front of the general's horse, and he can take Yangcheng today, which is also due to the general's tiger power and strategy."

Xu Rong smiled, listening to Yan Xing's humble words, he said again:

"Yan Ming has made meritorious contributions in the army one after another, but he is still so humble in his actions, and he is quite a famous general, but today you are a person who has made great contributions after all, and it just so happens that there are many sergeants and soldiers in the army this time.

In Dong Ying, the generals who went out on the expedition had great autonomy in their hands, and it was enough to directly distribute the fate of the spoils, and when the generals heard Xu Rong talk about wealth and women, they would all smile, and there was both envy and jealousy in their eyes when they looked at Yan Xing, waiting for him to ask for a reward.

Yan Xing originally had no intention of asking for these belongings and women, but he could also feel that as his position in the Dong camp climbed higher and higher, Xu Rong's jealousy of himself was gradually deepening, and if he was humble at this time, it would cause more suspicion in Xu Rong's heart.

So Yan Xing also pretended to be overjoyed, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, general, I have already accepted a concubine in Luoyang City before, and this time I will not take love from your colleagues in the army, and I am willing to receive the reward of wealth and gold silk."

Hearing that he was taking a concubine in Luoyang and hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house, Xu Kun laughed first, and the other generals also laughed out loud when they heard the laughter.

Xu Rong had a shallow smile on his face, but he didn't make a sound, he thought about it, and muttered for a while, and suddenly pointed to the houses in the city and said:

"Okay, since Yanming already has a beautiful concubine, then this property will naturally not be stingy, and this land in the east of the city will be rewarded to you, and you can take the property in the meantime."

This is to indulge the soldiers to sack Yang City!

Hearing Xu Rong's reward, all the generals present exclaimed, not only marveling at Xu Rong's sudden general order, but also marveling at Yan Xing's such good luck this time, and letting him swallow such a large piece of fat alone with his subordinates.

"General, this?"

Yan Xing didn't expect Xu Rong to suddenly issue such a military order, he had just sent an announcement to his knights to preach loudly along the streets, but in the blink of an eye, he was going to sack Yangcheng, this, this kind of inconsistent behavior would not only make the people in the city panic and die, and the people's morale would plummet, but it was also not conducive to the seriousness of the military discipline of his subordinates.

He wanted to dissuade Xu Rong from taking back this kind of military order that only gained temporary benefits, but lost the hearts of the people of Yuzhou, but he knew that Xu Rong was a little more suspicious of him, and he was afraid that it would backfire at this time.

Just as Yan Xing was thinking about the wording to deal with, Xu Rong, who had given the order, had already spoken first, and he said with a sneer:

"If you don't let them get some rewards, how can you boost the morale of the army, and how can you let them kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, since Yan Duwei is not a woman, when facing financial rewards, he hesitated, and stopped talking, could it be that he wanted to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu and enter the customs, and the women had nothing to do and nothing to take?"

Xu Rong's words hid a blade, which hit Yan Xing's heart, when Liu Bang was the Duke of Pei, after entering Guanzhong, why did the army under his command become a disciplined division without disturbing the law.

This is because Liu Bang has the ambition to be the king of Guanzhong in his heart, so he bent the corporal, strictly disciplined the military, and wanted to collect the hearts of the people of Qindi, although Xu Rong's words seemed to be making fun, but when he heard Yan Xing's ears, it was a side knock that spared no effort, and the fear of Yan Xing was particularly obvious.

He hurriedly saluted again, his voice more respectful.

"How dare you dissuade the general's military order, but the people in this Yangcheng are the heads of the people, not only the people under the Yangcheng, but also the people of the Son of Heaven in our court, we are the king's teacher, and we are ordered to quell the rebellion, so I am afraid that it will be easy to be used by the people who have a heart in the county of Kanto Prefecture, and lose the hearts of the people in this Yuzhou."

"Yan Duwei said otherwise, if the city is all obedient people, then why follow Kong Ling and others to rebel against the court, I wait for the king to come in person, and why don't you eat pot pulp to welcome the king, they act neither to resist rebellion, nor to get close to us, it can be seen that these small people are all aiding and rebellious people, not strictly punished, I am afraid that it is not enough to deter the people of Yuzhou, and it is not conducive to the great cause of counterinsurgency of the imperial army."

Wang Fang, who was among the generals, heard Yan Xing's words about calming the people's hearts, but before Xu Rong could speak, he had already sneered and said his opinion, so as to refute Yan Xing's words.

Although the other generals had seized a lot of property and women under the shrine earlier, who would say that they would dislike getting more property and women, except for Xu Kun in the field, the other generals also echoed Wang Fang's statement.

Seeing this, Yan Xing knew that it would be in vain for him to persist any longer, not only could he not save the innocent people in the city, but he would also offend these high-interest generals and officials.

Xu Rong turned his eyes back to the outside of the city at this moment, he was not listening to the arguments of the generals, his eyelids were lowered, as if he was in deep thought.

This is not only his military order, but also Dong Zhuo's entrustment.

In the first battle, not only to win beautifully, but also to kill the people in Kanto Prefecture and the whole county were terrified, and blood flowed like a river.

Huangfu Song quelled the rebellion of Taiping Dao in various states, and Dong Zhuo did the same when he pacified the rebellion of the Qiang people in Sanfu and Liangzhou.

Overthrowing the army and slaughtering the city, this is what Dong Zhuo really wants, the domineering technique of quelling the rebellion and governing the world.
