Chen Xin hit a horse and came to the cross street full of corpses, Wang Changfu's face was wrapped in cotton cloth, and blood was still dripping down his cheeks. When Wang Changfu saw Chen Xin, he hurriedly came over and said, "Xiaguan is in a hurry. ”

"You are a thousand generals, you are afraid that your duty is to command and supervise the formation, if you die, who will command?" "Yes, Xia Guan knows that he is wrong."

"When evaluating merit, your personal merit will be reduced by one level, and the 3,000th headquarters will not be affected."

Wang Changfu and Vice President Qian agreed again and again. Chen Xin jumped off his horse and asked, "How is the defense deployed?" "Two bureaus are deployed on each side of the southeast side, but the losses are somewhat large, and they are all unsatisfied."

Chen Xin said to Liu Pojun behind him: "Transfer a firearms detachment to Wang Changfu and strengthen it to the south." Liu Pojun immediately distributed the arrows and ordered a Chinese army herald to transfer troops, Chen Xin himself took a brief map and continued to ask: "Are you sure of the location of the Chinese army?" ”

Liu Pojun said: "I just caught N coats and asked, in the state office inside the east gate." ”

"The heavy money and food are not there."

"When the slave chief left, he took the front ones, and the shoes that were left behind are still there." A smile appeared on Chen Xin's face: "The two bureaus of Wang Changfu East Street are interspersed, the fourth division of the 2,000 headquarters is the main attacker, and the second detachment of Turtledove Rui is all put into East Street, and it must be controlled there before the Guanning army enters the city, Zhou Shifa led the Zhenfu sergeant to accompany him, and Dong Yu also sent a few quartermasters." "According to Cao Wenzhao's sΓΉ Chen Xin, when Huang Taiji was there, he dreamed of turning the four cities into Houjin territory, and at that time there were still some restrictions, and when he left, the remaining Houjin army would definitely rob blatantly, and there should be a lot of gold and silver looted by shoes.

Zhou Shifa, who had been with the Chinese army, listened to the promise, and then asked, "My lord, if other friendly troops want to go in, how to deal with it?" Chen Xin said lightly: "Grab the strong and humble, and kill those who dare to use the knife on the spot, and Zhou Shifa will be responsible for this matter." Unless it was Sun Gebu and Master Zhang who came, no one else was allowed to enter. Dong Yu immediately sent someone to the north gate to find a place, and when he found the money from the state office, he transferred it there. ”

A few people shouted and went to the order. Then Lu Chuanzong came from the north gate again, his 1,000th headquarters had closed the North Street, each alley was blocked by a combat group, and the Jiannu in the North City was also divided into two parts, he came to the street entrance to ask Chen Xin for instructions, and said to Chen Xin after getting off the horse: "My lord, the north gate has been closed, and there is a cavalry of the Guanning Army coming around from the east, saying that they want to enter the city." "No, you find a general to deal with, just say to guard against Jiannu, you have to find an official to ask for instructions before you can open the door."

Lu Chuanzong said with a smile: "I know, the soldiers are in chaos, and I won't be able to find Shangguan for a while." Chen Xin also smiled and said to Lu Chuanzong: "Of course, we occupy the crossroads, Jiannu is already bound to be defeated, and the Guan Ning army will just come to pick peaches, so there can be such a good thing." Don't pay attention to them, Mr. Lu Qian, how many soldiers can you still transfer out? ”

"I can adjust two bureaus, but I am not satisfied."

Dong Yu assigned tasks with a few quartermasters, and hurriedly came over and said, "My lord, there are so many dead Houjin soldiers, and their belongings may be in their residences, let's go and find them." These beasts scrape the ground, and their possessions will not be short. Chen Xin nodded and said, "That's what I mean." He called Nie Hong again: "Let those who have been caught lead the way, go to the place where Jiannu lives on weekdays, first take gold, silver and jewelry, then satin silk, and finally take as much food as you can." Nie Hong took half of the Chinese Army Guards to accompany him to supervise, and he still moved to the place selected by Dong Yu. ”

Dong Yu immediately said, "It's chosen." ”

"Where?"

"The academy inside the north gate, the wounded soldiers are also placed there, we can send troops to guard it in a high-sounding manner, these generals are afraid that they have no interest in the academy."

Chen Xin clapped his hands and smiled: "This place is well chosen." Lu Chuanzong was a little worried and said: "This is the place of the reading examiner, let's occupy it, will Master Sun and Master Zhang let us move out?" Chen Xin shook his head: "We have earned them such a big military merit, who will stand out for this little thing, don't worry, these adults are better than the other, if they are such nerds, they will not be able to go to the current official position." Go at once, and copy all the places where the Jiannu live in the northern city. When a few of them were talking, the fourth division of the reserve team ran past them and entered the East Street, because the street was narrow, only the two bureaus deployed by Wang Changfu could be used to attack, at this time the cannon sound at the East Gate had stopped, and most of the Jiannu on it had been transferred or fled, and the Guan Ning army could enter the city at any time, and it was necessary to race against time to seize the front.

After the crossroads were captured, the psychology of the Houjin soldiers quickly collapsed, and they completely lost their command, most of the Houjin soldiers at the east gate and the south gate fled, and the Guan Ning army and other Qinwang troops outside the city did not know, and they were still cautiously tested outside the city, they also noticed the abnormality of the city, but they were afraid that it was Jiannu's trick, after all, the attack had only started for half a day, and they all thought that it was impossible to fight down in one day, hoping that Jiannu could escape by himself, and everyone did not have to work hard to have military merits, and they could make a small fortune.

Chen Xin did not report the progress upwards, and even arranged for some firearms teams to take turns firing at the unmanned roadway, making it look like they were still fighting fiercely.

The two bureaus of the 3,000 headquarters were almost running forward on East Street, and all the Jiannu on the way fled to the small streets and alleys on both sides, and even Wang Changfu wondered why Jiannu, who was still desperately resisting just now, became like this as soon as he lost the crossroads.

It took them less than a quarter of an hour to rush to the state office, and after bypassing the Zhaobi, they found that the gate was open, and the ground was covered with silver chains, jewels and satin, and Zhou Shifa and several quartermasters had bright eyes, and hurried in, and caught a few Luanzhou Hanmin who were holding their belongings not far from the gate.

Zhou Shifa and others forced these people to lead the way with knives, and turned right after entering the lobby, this is the warehouse of the state government, and the doors of several warehouses inside are also open, and the two Jiannu Baoyi just climbed over the outer wall and jumped out, Zhou Shifa ignored those people at all, and went directly into the warehouse to see, stunned for a while, and then laughed.

Wang Changfu and the general manager of the fourth division also ran over, looked at it and muttered: "At least tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, and so many satin silks, how long do you have to move?" ”

Zhou Shifa knew about Chen Xin's sea trade goods, and whispered to Wang Changfu: "This satin is also silver, it is useful for adults, all of them have to be moved, you take people to the east gate, hold the gate, don't let Guan Ningjun come in too early." ”……………………………………………………………………

A group of Ming soldiers from Lintao shouted excitedly, these people's accents are Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, many of them were captured by Lintao's Wang Zongbing all the way to Latin, at this time with the morale of the wind and the battle like a rainbow, under the leadership of several officers, ran out of the urn city of the West Gate, into the West Street.

Liu Minyou followed behind them, with Zhang Erhui and the stupid monk by his side, Zhang Erhui took a flag gun, his face was flushed with excitement, and he also shouted with those soldiers, the stupid monk was still dumbfounded, but he took off the silver armor, and only had an oversized Ming army fat jacket on his body, and the Ming helmet on his head was also removed, his head was too big, but he was tied with a red scarf on his head.

Liu Minyou looked at the artillery outside the city for a while, Huang Side had been there to get close to the artillery set, and Liu Minyou visited the gun carriage and medicine bag for a while, and roughly remembered it in his mind.

Although he was a little scared, but he was a little curious, he wanted to see what the ancient war looked like, he watched the Qinwang army from all walks of life enter the city in a steady stream, and finally couldn't hold it back, and entered the city with two followers behind the Lintao soldiers.

When a few people arrived at Ximen Street, there were blood stains everywhere on the ground, and there were many headless corpses of Jiannu everywhere, and some beggar-like Ming soldiers were recording their clothes, and Liu Min had a gastric juice rushing up, and quickly turned his head and suppressed the nausea feeling.

When he looked up, he saw Chen Xin's recognition flag at the intersection of the street, Liu Minyou hurriedly walked forward, blood flowed all over the street, Liu Minyou stepped on the bloody footprints all the way, and when he saw a Jiannu whose head was opened by a bullet, he finally couldn't help but vomit.

Zhang Erhui hurriedly came over and patted Liu Minyou's back, and handed over the coconut float. Liu Minyou almost vomited, his eyes were a little red, he stood up straight, took a sip of water, and after calming down, he took a large number of surrounding streets, many shops were smashed open by soldiers, and there was a sound of turning over boxes and cabinets inside.

A man with a money rat tail suddenly ran out of a shop on the left, and Zhang Erhui stood in front of Liu Minyou with a spear in his hand.

Before Zhang Er could go up, he chased out a few officers and soldiers, punched and kicked, and knocked the man to the ground, and the man with the pig's tail screamed loudly on the ground, crying: "Master Bing, I am a Han people, that is, a native of Angezhuang in Luanzhou, and the neighbors on the left and right can testify to it." A Lintao general manager pressed his head, flipped it over to see, and laughed: "You are not Hermes-Epitek, you are silver." ”

Liu Minyou thought he was going to extort the man's silver, but he didn't know that the sword swung down with a knife, cutting off the person's head, and the gushing blood washed the person's head crookedly, grabbed the braid, lifted it up and looked at it carefully, and hung it on the belt with satisfaction, and the short neck of the remaining corpse was still bleeding, making the red on the ground even thicker.

Liu Minyou panted heavily, watching Lou take people to the next house, Liu Minyou looked at the corpse on the ground, his feet were weak, he finally knew that this ancient war scene was much more cruel than the blockbuster.

He muttered, "Why kill the people?" ”

Zhang Erhui said loudly: "Brother Liu, they are not ordinary people, they are two shoes, they should be killed."

Liu Minyou looked at Zhang Erhui in surprise: "They were also forced to shave their heads, and if they don't have hair, they are all second shoes?" Zhang Erhui still said confidently: "We Han people don't have such a thing, the instructor said that you can't recognize your ancestors without hair!" ”

Liu Minyou knew that Zhang Erhui had recently heard people talk about fighting in the barracks, and he had also listened to many trainers mobilizing, but he didn't expect him to accept such a point of view, at this time, there were corpses everywhere, and Liu Minyou didn't have the heart to educate this little follower, so he shook his hand and led the two of them to continue walking towards the intersection of the street, many sections of the road were covered with corpses, and the road was full of blood and water, and some places were even slippery.

Liu Minyou's cloth shoes have been completely soaked with blood.

Because he was wearing civilian clothes, some of the Ming soldiers on the street looked at him with ill intentions, but the stupid monks around him undoubtedly had great deterrent power, and they were also wearing fat jackets, these people thought that Liu Minyou was a civilian official with troops, so they quickly fled, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the place where the Wendeng camp was guarding.

Then he learned that Chen Xin had gone to the North Gate Academy at the corner of the street, and he rushed over again, this area was controlled by the Wendeng battalion, and the battle group of the Wendeng battalion on both sides made him feel very safe.

When he saw Chen Xin, he was under the Kuixing Tower on the east side of the academy, some soldiers unloaded a lot of satin from several carriages, and there were soldiers leading some horses from the east in an endless stream behind him.

When Chen Xin saw that it was him, he came over and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that these targets have robbed the surroundings of Luanzhou, and the satin silk and cotton cloth in the state government treasury are piled up, and this year it is enough to give each of the dunn households in Mazidun and Wendeng Camp a cotton coat." ”

Liu Minyou said to Chen Xin: "These are the people of Luanzhou that they robbed, let's take them......

"If we don't take it, it will be taken by other Qinwang soldiers, and the people will never be able to take it back, even if Sun Chengzong wants to retreat, he will have to rely on those officials to distribute it, and in the end it will fall into the hands of the local officials and gentry, so it is better to take it to our dunhu." Liu Min let out a long breath, he also knew that this was the truth, he found a stool to sit on for a while, his mind calmed down, suddenly remembered what happened just now, and asked Chen Xin: "It seems that the Ming army killed the people just now, it seems that it was Lintao, let's send someone to report to Sun Chengzong." ”

Chen Xin hurriedly came over and made a low gesture: "The people have, can't you report that there are so many shaved shoes in Luanzhou City, it is common for officials to kill some heads and fake them, everyone looks at the thirty-two head rewards, do you think Sun Chengzong doesn't know, how many people will be offended by us in one report."

Even if these generals are stationed in Jizhou, sometimes they catch some beggars to kill, Lord Sun has led troops for many years, if he really admits death, he can suppress this group of Qiu Ba talents, as long as it is not a big kill in the whole city, he will not be able to control it, just he is alone, can he keep an eye on the whole city? ”

Liu Minyou's lips trembled a few times, and finally he didn't say anything more, listening to the screams of the wounded soldiers coming from inside, Liu Minyou stood up, rolled up his cuffs and said, "I can't help anything, so I'll help you take care of the wounded soldiers." ”

Zhou Shilou took more than 300 soldiers to move the valuables of the Jiannu Prefecture Ya, and the remaining empty horses everywhere on the street were also pulled and sent to the academy. After Zhou Shifa finished moving his belongings, he moved some of the grain, and before the Guanning army entered the city, he withdrew all from the state government.

The Guanning army finally entered the city with great difficulty, and their artillery was not bad, but the people in charge of the project were very afraid of Jiannu, and when they went up to the city wall, they were greeted by several soldiers from the Wendeng battalion.

Wendeng's camp controlled the main road, many Jiannu had no way to escape, and hid in the homes of people in the city or in the corners of the streets, and the tide-like Guan Ning army rushed into the city shouting and screaming, they fought a good battle, and the most important thing was that entering the city meant that there was an opportunity to loot.

Zhang Chun and You Shilu of the south gate also set up a large banner on the south wall, and the drums and trumpets in the city were endless, but all the teams lost their formation, and no one knew that it was the military horn of the battalion, and the soldiers searched for Jiannu from house to house, and also looted money at the same time.

The troops of the Wendeng battalion were divided into small units, and after sweeping several places where Jiannu lived, they found some property, and Chen Xin's horseback soldiers blew bamboo whistles all the way and slowly recovered the troops. Most of them had already returned to the academy before dark, and Zhou Shifa began to go out to patrol with the pacifiers, maintaining military discipline and checking those who had not yet returned.

Liu Minyou washed his hands casually in a basin of red water, walked out of the east gate of the academy, looked up, the remnant sun was like blood, dyed red on the east city wall, a few puffs of smoke rose in the city, and the North Gate Street was full of Ming troops who broke in.

Chen Xin had already ordered the loot, and came over to Liu Minyou and said: "The state government and several major places have found nearly 100,000 taels of gold and silver, and this is just what we have found everywhere, and how much they have sent away in front." The head is hundreds, and the head reward is more than 10,000, or the war is fast to make money. Liu Min said absentmindedly: "This year can be regarded as rich, and the civil affairs side is also more relaxed." It's just that there are more casualties. ”

Chen Xin said with satisfaction: "The casualties are valuable, in short, the battle was won." ”

Liu Minyou listened to the shouts of soldiers and the cries of the people everywhere, and said in a daze: "Did you really win?" ”
