Chapter 239: Entering the State City
After a night rain, the sky finally cleared, the smoke outside Beiguan City had dissipated, the former Qin army camp was in a mess, a group of soldiers of the Southern Wang Army were cleaning the battlefield, and a muddy corpse was carried together, piled up into several hills in the open space outside the city.
At the edge of the battlefield, rows of Qin prisoners were being escorted to Beiguancheng.
In last night's battle, with the outstanding performance of Honda Tadakatsu and others, the southern Wang army finally defeated the Qin army entrenched outside Beiguan City in one fell swoop, killing more than 20,000 Qin troops and capturing more than 40,000 Qin troops.
The menacing 100,000 Qin troops, except for thousands of people who fled with Wang Ben, almost all of them were killed under the city of Beiguan.
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
Under the city of Beiguan, a group of flying feather cavalry was leaving the city in an orderly manner and assembled outside the city gate.
"Your Majesty, the Flying Feather Rider has been assembled!"
Half an hour later, Zhao Yun, who had gathered 10,000 troops, came to Sima Yu's side and said respectfully.
The horses' hooves trampled on the muddy ground and raised countless mud debris, almost dyeing the white cloak behind the flying feather cavalry yellow.
"Let's go!"
Looking at the 8,000 flying feather horsemen who quickly completed the assembly in front of the city gate, Sima Yu waved the horsewhip in his hand and headed towards the north of the city first.
"Driving~"
Thundered~
In the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, Zhao Yun led 8,000 flying feather horses to follow.
Although the war with the 100,000 Qin army has ended, the war in Changzhou has not ended, and now Sima Yu is going to lead the Feiyu cavalry to capture Yizhou City.
In last night's battle, because Cui Daoheng and the others saw the opportunity quickly, they withdrew early, and the army failed to catch them.
Because of the Cui family, Sima Yu almost lost a general, and it's time to settle this account with the Cui family!
At this time, there was already chaos in Yizhou City, and when Cui Daoheng and others fled into the city in embarrassment in the early morning, the news of the defeat of the Qin army quickly spread throughout Yizhou City.
This news was tantamount to the fall of the sky for all the people in the city.
When Wang Ben led 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry to Yizhou City, the situation is still vivid in many people's minds.
But such a powerful army was defeated!
What's more critical is that the position of their Yizhou City is exactly on the side of the Qin army.
Now that the other party has defeated the Qin army, even the 30,000 volunteers brought by Cui Daoheng and them are gone, what else can they use to resist.
Endless panic permeated everyone's hearts, and the 7,000 Seokdo County soldiers who were responsible for staying in Yiju City were completely confused, and many soldiers had already deserted directly.
The Cui Mansion in the city was also in chaos, the mansion was full of shuttle servants, they were busy packing up, and thousands of Cui Clan's cultivated henchmen and soldiers gathered outside the mansion to wait.
"Father, are we really going to leave Yiju City?"
In Cui Daoheng's study in the inner courtyard, looking at Cui Daoheng, who was sorting out valuables such as house deeds and land deeds, Cui Shiyuan opened his mouth and said in a low voice.
Facing his father, who has always been resourceful and resourceful, Cui Shiyuan always has a trace of unconfidence in his heart.
"Young General, they have been defeated, do you think that with these county soldiers in the city can block the southern king's army, we will be dead ends if we stay in Yizhou City! The Cui family can't be destroyed in my hands! ”
Hearing that his son was still delusional about defending Yizhou City at this time, Cui Daoheng was a little angry while cleaning up, because he thought that Cui Shiyuan had matured a lot before.
"Father, the Qin army has been defeated, who else in the entire Changzhou is the opponent of the king of the south? Where can we flee to? It was Zhong Ion who attacked General Zhou Cang at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with us, and my father and the Qin army attacked Beiguan City together is just a different position, even if there is a mistake, it should not be punished. My Cui family has deep roots in Shidao County, and moving my Cui family will definitely cause turmoil in the county. As long as my father is willing to admit his mistake to the king of the south and sacrifice the city of Yiju, then my Cui family can be guaranteed! ”
Cui Daoheng's expression and tone of hatred for iron and steel suddenly made Cui Shiyuan's face turn red, and he explained with excitement.
Cui Daoheng was stunned when he heard this, stood in place, looked at Cui Shiyuan, and didn't seem to believe that these words came from his son's mouth.
"Besides, father, you forgot, the little sister is still in the southern king's army"
Last time Zhou Cang came to Yizhou City, he came to Cui's Mansion to ask for relatives, although it was unpleasant in the end, but the Cui family is still Cui Ying's maiden family after all, and Zhou Cang is the old man next to Sima Yu, the king of the south.
Cui Shiyuan's words made Cui Daoheng, who was confused by last night's war, suddenly wake up.
As Cui Shiyuan said, even the 100,000 Qin army was defeated, and there was anyone else in the southern Wang army in Changzhou who could stop them, even if they escaped now, I am afraid that no one would dare to stay.
Moreover, the foundation of the Cui family is in Shidao County, and if they leave Shidao County, the Cui family will completely decline.
"Good! Shiyuan, as you said, you immediately take people to take charge of the county soldiers in the city, and you can't let them cause trouble in the city, so I will contact the families, and we must stabilize the security in the city before the arrival of the army! ”
Cui Daoheng's thinking came to his senses at once, since he didn't leave, he had to serve the king of the south, and Yizhou City was tantamount to the Cui family's best life preservation and qualifications.
Bell bell bell ~
"Don't panic, everyone! The Cui family will not leave everyone behind! ”
With the advent of the Cui family, the major families and wealthy merchants in Yizhou City quickly stabilized, and at the same time sent a large number of people to pacify the panicked people in the city.
On the other side, Cui Shiyuan also quickly took over the county soldiers in the city, and the county soldiers who were originally scattered suddenly had a backbone, and began to send people to arrest those who took advantage of the chaos to commit traitors and maintain law and order in the city.
In less than two hours, the originally turbulent city of Euiju City quickly stabilized.
Thundered~
At noon, in the mud and debris flying in the sky, Sima Yu led 8,000 flying feather cavalry light cavalry and finally arrived at Yizhou City.
At this time, the gate of Uiju was almost full of people, both wealthy merchants and ordinary people.
Looking at the surging army of the Southern King, everyone was uneasy in their hearts.
"Cui Daoheng, bring the people of Yizhou City to welcome the king of the south!"
When the 8,000 Flying Feather Rider stopped outside the city with great momentum, Cui Daoheng stepped forward dozens of meters alone, ignoring the mud on the ground, kneeling on the ground, bowing his head and kowtowing respectfully to Sima Yu.
Cui Daoheng's heart is glad that he did not abandon the city and flee, Sima Yu, the king of the south, personally led his troops to Yizhou City so quickly despite the muddy roads, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Cui family, if they really escape, I am afraid there is no room for recovery.
"Greetings to the King of the South!"
Seeing this, the people of Yizhou City behind also kowtowed.
The person in front of you is the master of Uiju City in the future!
"Driving~"
"You're Cui Daoheng?"
The scene in front of him made the corners of Sima Yu's mouth unconsciously curvature, urging him to step forward, looking at Cui Daoheng, who was kneeling on the ground respectfully, and said coldly.
Sure enough, fists are the last word, according to the news sent back by the secret agents of the outer cabinet who were lurking in Yizhou City, the Cui family had never taken him seriously at the beginning, but now he knelt in front of him so humbly.
"It's the sinners, please punish you!"
Cui Daoheng's head was almost all stuck into the mud, and he said humbly.
"My generals are worthy of your Cui family's daughter?"
Thinking of Zhou Cang, who was still recuperating from his injuries, Sima Yu was angry in his heart, and he didn't let Cui Daoheng get up, and then said coldly.
"The sinners are convicted!"
Cui Daoheng heard that blood was dripping from his heart, and he kowtowed again to plead guilty, and his face was almost completely covered by mud.
"Into town!"
With a cold cheer, Sima Yu led Feiyu to ride towards Yizhou City, leaving Cui Daoheng to kneel alone.
On October 4, the third year of the Great Controversy, with the momentum of the great victory of the Qin army, Sima Yu, the king of the south, led 8,000 flying feathers to ride to attack the city of Yizhou, and Cui Daoheng, the former county guard of Shidao County, led the crowd out of the city to surrender, and the southern Wang army officially entered the state city.
