Chapter 1174: Xue Song, please surrender

Li You only found the thistle, but Xue Song found the cavalry that was rushing towards the city gate!

He immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, but there was already a commotion at the winch where the gate was opened. Shocked, he realized that the other party had already sent Neiying to infiltrate the city, and hurriedly pulled out his sword and rushed over with his own soldiers and generals. What he didn't expect was that the enemy soldiers who were fighting desperately here were only a dozen people, and everyone had blood on their heads, but that kind of brave momentum made him, who was used to seeing battle formations, couldn't help but gasp.

Surprise is surprise, but he is not a soft stubble after all, and soon ordered everyone under his command to rush up and recapture the winch. However, this is not an open area, only a few people can go up at a time, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, not to mention that these enemy troops are all in their early forties and fifties, but they are far better than any of the rebels. After sending troops from Hebei, although it was not necessary to rob every city, but after entering the territory of Henan Province, An Lushan indulged in the looting under his command. Nowadays, every rebel's pockets are bulging, and who wants to fight with people here?

If you die, you can't enjoy it anymore, this is the consensus in everyone's heart!

Xue Song knew this, but now that the city was about to be broken, he saw that his soldiers were actually intimidated by the enemy's bravery, so he simply drew his sword and pounced on it himself. He was famous for his heroism when he was a teenager, but at this moment, when he was fighting with people, he immediately felt deep pressure. These enemies are clearly no longer in their prime, but the moves available to them are often the one that loses both, especially when he slashes off the left arm of an enemy, but the opponent pounces on him without fear of death, leaving a deep hole in his left leg, he finally has some indescribable fear.

If all the Heluo officials and troops were able to do this before, how could the army be so light in attacking the city?

"All cheer up, what's the matter if you have a broken arm, your lord is watching from the city, don't lose her face!" The one-armed soldier with the broken arm endured the severe pain, waved his knife and shouted, "Since we took the initiative to invite Yingying to enter the city and seize the gate, we have already put life and death out of the way!" Du Dashuai has already left Tongguan, and your hometown Hebei is also unstable, look at how long you rebels can go! ”

Xue Song finally figured out a bit of the gist from the other party's words - these are by no means rabble, but well-trained - limping, he tore off the corners of his clothes and hastily bandaged the wounds, seeing that Li You's troops and horses under the city were surrounded by heavy surrounding, and it was clear that it was difficult to support them alone, and the cavalry under the city had already entered most of the city, and this Yongqiu City might not be able to be kept anymore, he suddenly shouted: "Give me all back!" ”

This is the answer that every rebel in the middle of a bitter battle would most like to hear. In just a short moment, more than a dozen corpses had been left on the ground, and even more were wounded, and although two of the enemy had already been seriously wounded and dying, the rest were all scarred, but everyone seemed to have an unparalleled courage to hang on, and they stood upright. Moreover, when the one-armed man saw that the rebels were retreating, he thought that they were going to release arrows at a distance, but he roared angrily and raised his knife in pursuit, but with one slash and one slash, two more rebels fell under his sword. In the face of such a blood-soaked old man like a demon god, some people even fought with their teeth.

Xue Song gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll wait for the surrender!" ”

The one-armed man was originally going to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Seeing Xue Song drop the saber to show his sincerity, he was relieved of his original intention to die, but then he strengthened his courage to stand with the knife. Seeing that none of the rebels questioned Xue Song's order, all the hulala retreated behind the main general, and some even threw away their weapons in order to gain their trust, and he was still a little suspicious, and he suddenly realized that this was true. Some of the other dead soldiers behind him were still clinging to the winch, while others craned their necks to look out of the city, and soon someone shouted loudly.

"The Ma army has all entered the city!"

Hearing such good news, the one-armed old man suddenly put his mind at ease. Even if Xue Song just surrendered by fraud, this winch was taken back, but the horse army entered the city, and the overall situation in Yongqiu City was decided! He couldn't hold the big knife that had just killed many people, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the whole person collapsed to the ground, and the exhaustion and weakness from excessive blood loss hit him in waves, and he fainted almost immediately. Thanks to the fact that several people behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help, some hurriedly tore open their clothes to bandage their wounds, some were angry at Xue Song, and some were even angry and forced forward with knives.

Xue Song knew that when he shouted the word please surrender, he was putting all his life in the hands of the other party, and he might not end well. But the battle situation outside the city has been decided, even if the reinforcements arrive, they may not be able to save themselves, and even An Lushan, who is already deeply suspicious of himself, will directly kill him in the name of defeat, he can only gamble. Therefore, he simply sat down cross-legged, straightened his neck and said: "I, Xue Song, am the grandson of Xue Rengui, the son of Xue Chuyu, and after generations of loyalty, I was only forced by An Lushan to punish the three clans if he did not rebel against him, so I had to be his lackey, and now that I have been defeated, you can kill if you want to!" ”

Xue Chuyu may not be well-known to everyone, but Xue Rengui's reputation in the Three Arrows Ding Tianshan is too great, so several old soldiers who originally planned to avenge the one-armed man for his broken arm couldn't help but be shocked, and after glancing at each other, they all turned their heads to look at the one-armed old man. Seeing that his eyes had been closed and he had passed out, everyone couldn't help but feel deeply annoyed.

"If Fifth Brother Qin has any three strengths and two weaknesses, I don't care if you are Xue Rengui's grandson, I will definitely ask you to pay for your life!"

Seeing that he had escaped for the time being, Xue Song's vest was completely soaked. As the outside of the city cleared Li You's troops and horses, they began to enter the city in an orderly manner, and these rebels on the city wall were also surrounded by the volunteers who had boarded here. Without even Xue Song opening his mouth, they dropped the weapons in their hands one by one. Faced with this scene, Xue Song looked at the only remaining soldiers and generals around him, and stood up with a miserable laugh.

Xue Song's helmet and armor were completely different from ordinary soldiers, and the volunteers knew that he was a rebel officer at a glance, but the most important thing at this time was to help the wounded, so whether it was the one-armed man or the other bruised veterans, they all got more attention than him. And when the one-armed man was carried down, the other wounded who could still walk had to explain Xue Song's identity to the friendly soldiers who had just ascended to the city. At this time, Fang Cai's eyes were either surprised or disdainful to the main general stationed in Yongqiu City.

When Princess Gu'an learned the news of Xue Song's surrender, the volunteers had all entered Yongqiu City. Since this battle mainly took place outside the city, there was only a life-and-death fight at the winch at the head of the city, and when Yongqiu City was captured by the rebels before, there was also no major battle, so the four city walls were intact, and after Princess Gu'an personally inspected it, she knew very well in her heart that only by hoarding the grain transferred to Luoyang from the Jianghuai waterway was enough for them to hold on here for more than a month!

"I only hope that Huya and them can also turn evil into good fortune."

In the fight at the winch, Qin Wu broke his arm, in addition to the five dead, and the rest of the dead were either seriously injured or lightly injured, she thought that in addition to these wolf guards who followed her back then, Huya also took others to bear the most difficult blocking reinforcements in this battle, and suddenly couldn't help muttering to herself. If it weren't for the recruited warriors and the defeated soldiers gathered, they wouldn't be able to bear such a tough battle anyway, and she couldn't bear to let these veterans take on the most critical responsibility! It wasn't until a gentle cough came from her ear that she saw that the lieutenant was quietly peeking at her expression, that she sneered.

"That Xue Song reported the calendar, just hoping that I would open up the net. It stands to reason that I can't wait to catch this kind of rebel general, but since he surrendered on his own initiative, if I kill him, I am afraid that in the future, all the rebels will have to fight to the death, and I will not dare to surrender, so I will leave him alive. ”

Hearing Princess Gu'an say this, the captain immediately understood, and when he wanted to retire, he quickly stopped and asked, "Then what to do with this Xue Song and the rebels who surrendered?" ”

"First, they took all the money they had plundered and returned it to the people of the city. Second, all the troops who surrendered to me were first escorted out and tied up for public display, so that the people could recognize people, but if there was murder, rape, or robbery that caused death or injury, they would be screened out and killed directly by me! Princess Gu'an saw that the lieutenant opened her mouth, as if asking for mercy, so she said in an unquestionable tone, "I will not go to Heluo as before, but to hold Yongqiu City and resist the rebel offensive. There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, don't you understand this truth? ”

The captain was so speechless by Princess Gu'an's words, and what Princess Gu'an said next made him immediately calm.

"When you give back to the people, remember to give back to the poor first, then the middle, and finally the rich. As long as the poor people get their wealth back, they will join us to resist the rebels. The Chinese got their property back, but they still disliked how much they wanted, and they were picky. As for those rich families, they are afraid that they will have to come back all the robbers before they stop, and when the time comes for them to contribute, they will push back! Remember, a bowl of water is uneven! In addition, after the inventory of grain in the city, if there is still a surplus in the next month, then first distribute a part of the grain to the people in the city, and only when they are well fed and clothed can they have the spirit to fight hard! As for you, the reward I promise you will not be less than a penny, and if the court does not recognize it in the future, it will be a big deal for me, the princess of Gu'an, to go back and pay for it myself! ”

"How can we all not trust your lord!" The lieutenant hurriedly swore to expose this stubble, but he didn't forget to ask more, "Then Xue Song is going to be tied up with the rebels to show the public?" ”

"Since he said that he was loyal, he will save a little face for him, and bring people to see me in a while."
