It turned out that in the fierce battle on the outskirts of Guangzhou, the Xuanjia army only lost five people, while the defenders in the city lost thousands of people. The defenders in Guangzhou City played such a humiliating record, and Gu Yuanjing and other officials of the Guangdong Political Division, as well as the commander of the guard station, were suddenly awakened by the cruel reality and saw clearly the quality of the sergeants on both sides, and the military spirit and fighting spirit were really worlds apart.

Coupled with the artillery position of a hundred guns densely packed with the Xuanjia Army, let alone the sound of ten thousand cannons, just looking at the black and oppressive position is also chilling.

These officials are good at corruption, and when it comes to fighting for power on the battlefield, Guangdong has not been affected by the Northern War because of its partial security. After the plague, there was peace for decades, and few people really saw what war was like.

The commander of the guard station relied on the hereditary position to eat and drink on weekdays, and almost never conducted formal training. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and the sergeant of the guard station will also respond to the story in vain, and he will do business and agriculture on weekdays, and when a superior comes to inspect, he will report to the barracks and make up a number.

The imagination of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials about war is still at the stage of street fire and fighting. I had never seen the military might of the Xuanjia Army before, and the target of the first battle of the Xuanjia Army was not Guangdong, but Taiwan. When the carbon fire fell on their feet, these people shouted loud slogans in the city, to protect the territory and protect their homeland from being violated, and to fight to the death with the invading Xuanjia army.

They took advantage of the opportunity of the war to reorganize the armament, and united with the wealthy businessmen, and looted the rich households and ordinary people of the people, and all the expenses related to the garrison were scavenged from the people.

But until the war began, the official war had not broken out, but only a naval battle of the fort, a field battle, and the corrupt officials who saw the cruelty of the battlefield were immediately frightened and tore off the rhetoric that they wanted to drive the Xuanjia army into the sea.

Gu Yuanjing, the political envoy of the Guangdong Political Division, Wei Yuan, the envoy of the inspection department, and Qi Yunshan, Liu Qing, and others who commanded the Guangdong Political Division, got together and immediately reached a consensus after a short exchange.

The city of Guangzhou cannot be defended, and the old soldiers and young soldiers who have not undergone the baptism of war in Guangdong against the mighty and majestic Xuanjia Army are the fight between sheep and tigers and wolves, and how to fight is undoubtedly defeated.

To keep Guangdong and keep their wealth, the only hope is Zhu Hengjia in Guangxi and the wolf soldiers in Guangxi Tusi.

On the day after the defenders retreated to the city, Gu Yuanjing, Wei Yuan, and Qi Yunshan, Liu Qing, and others, the commanders of the guards, jointly issued a message, calling on the people of the city to arm themselves and vow to live and die with the city of Guangzhou.

But when they had finished their speeches, they immediately made their families disguise themselves as soldiers, and slipped away from the west gate with a troop of 3,000 personal soldiers.

Half of their family wealth had already been transported to Zhaoqing Mansion, and the direction of retreat was Zhaoqing Mansion.

Due to the suppression of the Yao Rebellion and the Dong Rebellion, as well as the need to avoid sea disasters, the nearby Zhaoqing Mansion was also the seat of the Liangguang Governor's Mansion before. It's just that in recent years, the Yao and Dong ethnic groups have not been in turmoil, so the Liangguang Governor's Mansion has moved back to Guangzhou.

Therefore, Zhaoqing is also a relatively strong city in Guangdong, coupled with the geographical location is closer to Guangxi, after withdrawing to Zhaoqing Mansion, Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang, and the wolf soldiers of Guangxi Tusi can respond nearby, and Xu Tu will fight again.

As soon as these high-ranking officials in the city fled, they fled with their families with great fanfare, and the officers and officials of the lower level immediately got the news.

The leaders have fled, how can they stay in the city of Guangzhou to die, and they will follow and disappear without a trace. These lower-level officials were not guarded by personal soldiers, and they did not dare to flee to Zhaoqing Mansion to fall into the net, so they could only choose to return to their hometowns for refuge.

The change of regime, these are the diehards who did not surrender in time before, and they do not expect to be able to become officials again, they only hope to escape the catastrophe incognito, and they will be satisfied with keeping the wealth obtained from previous corruption.

At this point, all the officials in the city of Guangzhou fled, and after a group of soldiers gathered from various prefectures came to their senses, they began to rape and plunder in the city of Guangzhou without restraint and armed with weapons.

The local guards in Guangzhou Prefecture were still slightly restrained in the territory of their fathers and villagers, and most of them still wanted to be loyal to their duties and keep their homes, and they were still stationed in the city wall guards, guarding the city walls and city gates, and did not participate in adultery and plunder. When the Xuanjia Army attacked Guangzhou City before, the few cannons scattered on the city wall were put by them at that time.

The other 20,000 soldiers recruited from various provinces were like entering the city from the countryside, and the white flowers of silver and the white women were all stimulated and tempted, and the beastly nature gushed out like a flood, and the destructiveness was extremely amazing. In less than two days, the entire city of Guangzhou was full of wailing, and the streets were full of scenes of murder and gang rape.

Many of the families of the local soldiers in Guangzhou were in the city, and this rape and plunder naturally affected the fish pond. These defenders couldn't look at it anymore, and they couldn't care that the Xuanjia army outside the city might break the city at any time.

If the city is broken, they can't break the bird business, and the home is really gone. They immediately chose to abandon the city gates, and instead aimed their blades at the group of orcs in the city, and burst into flames.

The defenders of the city fought with weapons on a large scale, and in less than two days, they killed 3,000 people. These old soldiers and young soldiers went to the battlefield, and in the face of the powerful Xuanjia army, they became like birds, and they were good at killing their own people in internal strife, and they were not ambiguous at all.

Zhang Ying listened to the confession of the surrendered troops, it turned out that this was the reason for crying and laughing, and he thought that the defenders were making some ambush plan on all sides, an empty city plan, but he didn't know that it was a trick to go, and he escaped all of them.

These officials in Guangdong did not play their cards according to common sense at all, but caused Qin Zhan, Zhang Ying and others to worry in vain for a few days.

Zhang Ying is also an old bird on the battlefield, of course, he will not believe the words of these surrendered troops, and immediately sent a sergeant disguised as a defender of the city to enter the city to verify the situation in the city. In less than half a day, these sergeants came back to report that the local defenders and the soldiers of the foreign government were indeed fighting in the north and west of the city, and they were in a mess, just like a street fight.

In today's north and west of the city, people have been killed on their backs, and corpses are everywhere. On the contrary, it was in the south of the city, because the Xuanjia army was attacking the city, and those defenders who were united did not dare to stay in this dangerous place. Except for some burned houses and looted corpses, there is no sign of infighting.

Zhang Ying quickly made a judgment that everything that the soldiers said should be true, if this is also an act, then the price of acting in this scene seems to be too high.

On the one hand, he asked people to report to Qin Zhan, and on the other hand, he ordered the 10,000 Xuanjia troops outside the city to enter the city in a big way, and did not take over the official office, but directly killed the north and west of the city, and first exterminated the defenders who were killing each other.

It took Zhang Ying two days to annihilate the defenders who were fighting in the internal strife. Those who honestly surrendered directly to the Xuanjia Army were escorted to the outside of the city to be guarded.

But whenever there was still bargaining with the Xuanjia Army, wanting the Xuanjia Army to promise them to keep the looted wealth and the women to surrender, Zhang Ying didn't say a word, killed them directly, snatched back the looted silver and women, and sent them directly to the Chinese military camp outside the city. These bandits dressed in the skins of officers and soldiers tossed the results of several days and nights, and as a result, they all made wedding dresses for the Xuanjia Army.

In two days, Zhang Ying killed 15,000 defenders and surrendered 23,000, completely taking over the defense of Guangzhou City, and then informed Qin Zhan of the Chinese military camp that he could enter the city and settle the people.
