The military attachés under the city wall faced the approaching Guanning Iron Cavalry, and behind them was the closed gate that could not be retreated, and everyone's faces were full of despair, and some people were already lying on their horses and crying.

A voice in the crowd shouted, "Drop your weapons and beg for mercy!" "You've been defeated, just surrender and pick up your life." Isn't Lord Cao also a rebel army who surrendered? ”

This group of military attaches did not have the loyalty and courage of Xu Qian, so they dismounted and threw down their weapons, "Lord Cao, we are willing to surrender!" "I'm willing to set things right, please take it in!"

Cao Wenzhao watched with an expressionless face as Guan Ning Iron Cavalry escorted them all back, and then said coldly, "Don't leave any prisoners, kill them all!" ”

Most of the high-ranking military forces had already died in battle, and among the dozens of military attachés present, there was not even a single one in the Yi Bone Realm, and they had all dismounted and thrown away their weapons, and they were slaughtered in an instant.

At this time, a group of cavalrymen in red robes on the battlefield held a large banner on the battlefield and loudly declared: "Brothers, the general has ordered again, stop the slaughter, our army has won and will not kill prisoners!" ”

Another general of the army who heard the order shouted to his subordinates: "The general of the Chinese army order, stop the slaughter, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" ”

This group of cavalry roared past, and everywhere they went, everyone stopped moving, and looked at this team of cavalry in red robes with great fear, they were the general's personal soldiers, and anyone in the army who disobeyed the order could be cut first and then played. The officers and soldiers suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, and the shouts were chaotic, full of harsh sycophants.

The obedience of the officers and soldiers was even higher than Yang Su imagined, and after being frightened, they obeyed orders almost without resistance, carrying the wounded, burning and burying the corpses, and leaving the work of cleaning the battlefield to these prisoners. Of course, the camp had to be expanded, and only a few thousand people died at the hands of the cavalry, not as many as they trampled each other to death when they fled for their lives. In addition to those who died in battle and some escaped, the remaining captured officers and soldiers amounted to more than 80,000 people.

The daily ration consumed by so many people is not a small amount, and Yang Su is not willing to raise it himself. He led the cavalry to rush lightly, without any baggage, and the food consumed during the siege of Nanjing was obtained by killing large households from the surrounding areas.

There are tens of thousands of more mouths at once, and the surroundings of Nanjing have been almost robbed by him, so you can't attack the people!

Yang Su squinted at the city of Nanjing, which was within reach, and fell into deep thought.

"Wen Zhao is here!" Yang Su looked at Cao Wenzhao, who was standing outside the door and waiting, and smiled.

"It's the last general who has disturbed Yang Gong!" Cao Wenzhao clenched his fists and confessed.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about whether this Nanjing should be taken again!" Yang Su waved his hand and beckoned Cao Wenzhao, "Come to Wenzhao, at this time, you and I don't have to be polite, sit down and talk!" ”

As he spoke, he poured a big bowl of tea for Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenzhao also sat down politely, took off his helmet and put it on the table, picked up the bowl and drank it all, and let out a cheerful sigh, "Yang Gong, the last general thinks that we should take down this Nanjing!" ”

"Oh, tell me what you think?" Yang Su asked curiously.

"Now that there are so many captives, we are waiting for Lord Xiao to lead the army to arrive, our food is not enough to eat, there are still hundreds of miles to Yangzhou, grain and grass must be indispensable, the last general thinks that we can't pin our hopes on the gentry along the way, we have been in Nanjing for so many days, they should have gotten the news and fled!" Cao Wenzhao spoke slowly.

"If you don't take it, you will be blamed! However, I don't want to attack Nanjing, my dynasty has lost the central capital, and I am afraid that it will disappoint the people of the world and affect the fortunes of the country! Yang Su sighed.

The fortune of the country is the hearts of the people, if the people lose confidence in the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, then the Ming Dynasty will be exhausted, and no matter how much Yang Su tosses, he will not want to succeed.

"Then what is Yang Gong going to do?" Cao Wenzhao asked puzzled.

"Naturally, I'm waiting for them to send it!" Yang Su pointed to Nanjing City and said with an unfathomable smile.

It was night, the city of Nanjing was gloomy, today's defeat made everyone understand that Nanjing City must not be able to hold, at this time the hall in the mansion of Wei was brightly lit, Xu Hongji and others stayed awake all night, all looking haggard and withered together with a short sigh.

"Our family has said, you can't fight, you can't fight! You don't believe it, you have to force you out of the city to fight the rogues, now it's okay! Nanjing must be finished, we all have to die! Grandpa Deng shouted hysterically and lost his temper.

"Who would have thought that an army of 100,000 would be so vulnerable and defeated in one fell swoop!" Xu Hongji covered his face in pain.

All the belongings of the Guogong Mansion were lost in this battle, can he feel distressed! Moreover, Xu Gan's death left no more generals in the city, and at this moment, there was no one in Nanjing who could defend the city!

"Now is not the time to hold accountable, but how we can live! Otherwise, let's escape! Qin Shangshu suggested.

Li Zhifu and Deng Gonggong are both happy, they have the responsibility to defend the land, that is, if they escape, they will definitely be beheaded, and the guilt of losing Nanjing cannot be resisted by the two of them alone, and they might as well die in office if they are dead left and right, and they can also get the court's pension, at least they can keep their families.

Thinking of his family, Li Zhifu instantly said, "Xu Guogong, I see that Liukou is only stationed at the north gate, and we have the responsibility to defend the land and only die, but Xu Guogong, you and Qin Shangshu can escape, with Xu Guogong's status and the emperor's favor, it will definitely not be held accountable afterwards, it is better to cancel the martial law in the city, open the south gate at night and let everyone escape by themselves!" ”

"Yes, Xu Guogong, the rogues are about to come in, and there is no point in martial law in the city at this time, it is better to open the city gate and let everyone escape on their own, so as to avoid riots caused by the anger of the people in the city!" Qin Shangshu hurriedly persuaded.

"Can't escape, can't escape, Xu Qian told me before, Liukou seems to only guard one door, in fact, is waiting for us to take the initiative to go out of the city to throw themselves into the net, he has already sent spies to investigate, this Nanjing outside the city to see loose and tight, he was not in the reinforcements at that time when the reinforcements did not arrive, he suggested that I open the city gate to let everyone out of the city, and then we left our belongings, only with the family and family members out of the city, taking advantage of the large number of people with hundreds of families in the Guogong Mansion may be able to kill out! Otherwise, getting out of the city is definitely a dead end! I regret not listening to Xu Qian's words! ”

Xu Hongji sat slumped in the chair, looking lonely, and kept muttering: "It's all over, we are all tricked!" As Xu Qian said, he told me at the time that I couldn't fight, this was a conspiracy of the rogues, the rogues didn't attack the city, not because they were afraid of us, but because they wanted to wait for us to gather all the guards and then wipe them out, so that they didn't have to attack the city one by one, I don't believe it! Now that the 100,000 army is in mourning, and there are no soldiers to defend in all parts of the province, where can we flee to even if we escape? You have mistaken me! ”

The other three all sighed and were helpless. It's too late to say anything!

The chief butler of the Wei Mansion hurriedly pushed open the door and ran in, whispering in Xu Hongji's ear.

Xu Hongji gradually raised his head, and finally patted the table excitedly, and straightened up, "Where is the other?" Bring him to me! No, no, I'll go and invite it myself! ”

I went to KFC and was ordering food, when an aunt wearing a bright red coat and dyed gold retriever came in, directly ignoring my existence, and said to the waiter: Two red bean pies, hurry up, I'm in a hurry. The waitress said very fairly: I'm sorry, this lady came first, please line up. Auntie is dissatisfied and still entangled: I'm in a hurry to have something, let me go first! I was angry from my heart, and I asked loudly: How many red bean pies do we have, beauties? Waiters: 95. I was stunned and suddenly turned my head to my aunt and scolded: Did you hear it, there are so many of you in a hurry!
