Lu Jianxing and Xia Yuanlan garrisoned a total of more than 4 million soldiers and horses in this city, but because of Xia Yuanlan, Ying Sheji almost effortlessly captured this city, because the commander and the main general were captured, so the soldiers fell into the point of a group of dragons without a leader, in order to take the city bloodlessly, Ying Sheji asked Xia Yuanlan to come forward and order the war guards to put down their weapons and surrender.

Although Xia Yuanlan was ignorant, he also knew the consequences of coming forward to persuade the soldiers to surrender, if that was the case, then he would have become a sinner of the Xia Dynasty through the ages, so he categorically refused to win Sheji's request, seeing that Xia Yuanlan refused to help him persuade him to surrender, Ying Sheji was not verbose, and directly cut off one of Xia Yuanlan's fingers with a knife, and just when he was about to cut off the second finger, Xia Yuanlan begged for mercy in a panic.

Feeling the pain of drilling his heart at his fingers, looking at the bright red blood that was flowing, Xia Yuanlan, who had been pampered and pampered, was shocked and scared, seeing that Ying Sheji had to cut off a second one of his fingers, he couldn't care about any decent and eternal sinners anymore, and directly agreed to help Ying Sheji persuade him to surrender, he walked to the city wall tremblingly, and ordered all the soldiers of the war guard to abandon the city and surrender.

Seeing that after he finished speaking, the soldiers around him had no intention of surrendering, Xia Yuanlan suddenly became angry, don't look at him Don't dare to get angry with Ying Sheji, but dare to lose his temper with the battle guards, he pointed to his finger and reprimanded the soldiers: "What are you still hesitating about?" Don't you see I'm dying? I am the blood of the first emperor, I am the prince of the royal family, you all have to listen to me, and now I order you to surrender, if this king is killed because you refuse to surrender, you are the executioner. ”

Under Xia Yuanlan's wailing and sad order, although the soldiers of the war guard were unwilling, they did not want to bear the reputation of killing the prince, they were silent for a moment, all the soldiers threw away the weapons in their hands, and chose to raise their hands to surrender, Ying Sheji did not expect that this trip would be so smooth, when he saw that the war guards chose to surrender under grief and anger, he sent people to appease the surrendered troops, and at the same time sent troops to control the city defense.

Worried that the soldiers of the War Guards who had just surrendered would cause trouble and mutiny, Ying Sheji immediately sent someone to escort Xia Yuanlan and those soldiers back to Huaihe Province, and at the same time he used carrier pigeons to send a letter to Ying Tian, asking him to send someone to meet those soldiers, and along the way was responsible for arranging the soldiers to the nearest camp in Huaihe Province to take care of them, in this way, Ying Sheji created a miracle, led two million soldiers and horses to capture the city of the War Guards without bloodshed, and captured four million soldiers of the War Guards without wounding a single soldier.

After taking over the city defense, Ying Sheji sent the soldiers of the war guards away, and transferred two corps from Ying Tian, they took this place as a gap, and the soldiers attacked the left and right cities in two ways, because this place is located in the defense line, so they can directly enter the flank of the war guards.

Ling Xia and Si Qikong have been fighting against the Purple Turban Army under the city for four days and four nights, because the battle is too fierce, and there are falcon doves circling in the air, so Ling Xia and Si Qikong They don't know the news that Zhongcheng has been captured, in their opinion, Ling Xia has already warned and sent a message in advance, Zhongcheng must be prepared, in the face of the siege of the Purple Turban Army, even if it is not defeated by the other party, but it should be no problem to defend the city and protect itself.

But none of them expected Xia Yuanlan's change, let alone that at this moment, Ying Sheji and Hou Junyao had each led a corps to come to encircle and suppress, and they were all busy fighting against the Purple Turban Army under the city at the moment, but they didn't know that the reinforcements of the Purple Turban Army were about to come from the defense line.
