When the heavy iron-clad city gate slowly opened under the cold night, the impatient Xiliang cavalry who had been lying in the ice and snow outside the city let out a noisy cheer.\\ Accompanied by the cheers of the Xiliang vanguard cavalry outside the city, there were also frightened screams of the defenders who had just been caught off guard by a sneak attack at the city gate.

However, there are two voices, one is a carnival and the other is a desperate fear of death.

Feng Yicheng's east gate had already opened, and he stripped off his skirt and spread his thighs like a girl in a green building.

Ma Ning split the head of a frightened man who scurried in front of him like a headless fly with an axe, and a stream of warm blood splashed on his face, making him feel strange. The sneak attack captured the East City Gate, and Feng Yi was already almost taken. However, Ma Ning's mind did not have much excitement and happiness at this time, but had an indescribable feeling, which seemed to be empty, extremely empty.

The forced march of more than 200 miles in one day and night, and in such a bad wind and snow day, although there were no blocking soldiers along the way, those wind and snow alone had left hundreds of Xiliang men along the road.

Warm blood poured all over the gates of the eastern city, and even the snow stained it red. There were dozens of corpses lying on the ground, these defenders who were originally just farmers, although they were replaced with broken armor and spears and horizontal knives, but after all, they were just a group of farmers with weapons, and Ma Ning, the northwest hussars who licked blood on their knife heads, were not comparable at all, and after being attacked, they couldn't stop it, and they were all wiped out at the city gate.

The Xiliang cavalry outside the city had already rushed through the open city gate and poured into Feng Yi's city.

Ma Ning also turned over and got on the horse, and the icy iron armor on his body made a rattling sound. Two officers who didn't know where they were hiding and sleeping just now were wearing armor and carrying horizontal knives and pounced fiercely, although these two people looked fierce and had a lot of momentum, but at this time the city gate had been opened, and the defenders at the city gate were either dead or fleeing, and the two rushed like this, it was just a bluff.

The two officers swung their swords and slashed, but the momentum showed that they were also veterans of actual combat. However, in Ma Ning's eyes, their actions are still full of flaws. Ma Ning's face was cold, and he raised his hand and threw out the tomahawk in his hand from the melee just now. The battle axe made a loud whirring sound, and the blade of the axe was like a thunderbolt that instantly plunged into the head of one of the officers. The officer's head, which had not yet arrived in a hurry and was wearing a helmet, suddenly turned red and white, and his head flowed.

The battle axe struck, Ma Ning quickly picked up the spear on the horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and rode forward. The spear shook, and in the cold night, a thousand trees suddenly bloomed, and before the other officer could react, four or five deep blood holes had been pierced in his chest.

The war horse roared past, and the two Xu Army officers behind slowly fell in a pool of blood in the snow.

At this time, most of the Xiliang cavalry had already passed through the city gate and roared into the city. Near the east gate, the sound of the battle has awakened some of the civilians, many people are wearing clothes and looking at the door in horror, and then they see countless cavalry rushing into the city from the east gate, and quickly rushing into the city along the long street.

The night was too dark for the inhabitants inside the crack in the door to see who was coming, but the sound of the rumbling iron hooves beating on the long street still shocked their faces, and many of the people were already screaming in horror, as if that was the only way to soothe some of the fears in their hearts.

Ma Ning stabbed to death two more Xu soldiers who fled in the confusion, and at this time Ma Wu had already entered the city with a group of officers. Ma Ning rode his horse and gun, stopping to join them.

"The order went down, the hussar battalion rushed straight to the Taishou Mansion and other officials, the flying cavalry battalion went straight to the barracks in the city, and the Xiongwu battalion immediately divided its troops to control the four gates, and the Fenwu battalion cleared the streets and searched for officials and deserters! Before dawn, I want to control Feng Yi's entire city! ”

After a pause, Ma Ning said again: "Tell the brothers, after all the control is over, all the property in the city will be distributed to the soldiers in accordance with His Majesty's will!" ”

The Xiliang cavalry let out an earth-shattering cheer, although they had just attacked the East City Gate, but in their opinion, the entire Feng Yi had already been taken. When they thought of the countless wealth of the prosperous Feng Yicheng City, which was an important town in Guanzhong, and immediately belonged to them, all the soldiers were not tired and cold, and a raging fire was burning in their hearts, eager to clear the whole city immediately, and then divide all the wealth.

"General Ma Wu, you take the Zhenwu battalion to inspect and supervise, and you must not let the soldiers set fire to it, let alone rape and plunder, and hide the spoils of war. When we followed Xue Ju in the past, we slaughtered a lot of cities, villages and towns, but now we are Chen Jun and have long been attached to His Majesty the Emperor. Chen Jun has always been the most important military discipline, and now that we have taken down Feng Yi, it is a great achievement, and His Majesty has already promised us a rich reward, I don't want to make any more extraneous branches, so that the brothers will no longer need to shed blood. I'll leave this task to you. ”

Ma Wu raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but scold Ma Ning for slipping his head. At the beginning, the Xiliang cavalry defected to Xue Ju and was always used as cannon fodder, charging in front and retreating in the rear. Moreover, the Western Liang soldiers were not taken seriously, they never had military salaries, and even the supply of grain and grass was not as good as that of other Qin troops.

The Xiliang cavalry followed Xue Ju and fought for several years, basically relying on their own looting to maintain. Since Ma Wu defected to Xue Ju, he remembers very clearly that he led his subordinates to slaughter a total of eight cities. These eight cities are the most difficult bones to gnaw, and they were handed over to them by Xue Ju to attack. Moreover, Xue Ju made it clear at the beginning that their supplies were captured by themselves during the war. The eight cities were all refusing to be attached, and many Xiliang soldiers were killed and wounded during the siege, and finally after the city was broken, they were all slaughtered without exception. Kill, burn, rob!

The people of Xiliang are not afraid of war, and the people of Xiliang will not pity the weak, and the cities that are broken by them are generally difficult to preserve.

Now Ma Ning told him that it is undoubtedly an offending thing to let him be in charge of supervising the discipline of war, so that the brothers who enter the city will not burn, kill or rob, and even have to protect the city. But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. At the beginning, he brought many people and his status was above Ma Ning. But now, Ma Ning is his boss, and he can't resist it at all.

"Yes, General! In the end, I will do my best to ensure that Feng Yi is not damaged. ”

The afterglow of Ma Ning's gaze saw Ma Wu's reaction in his eyes, of course he knew the habits of Xiliang soldiers. After a hard snowstorm march broke the city, a slaughter and looting of the city was undoubtedly the most exciting thing for the army. However, since he had surrendered to the Chen Dynasty, he understood that the Xiliang soldiers could no longer do as before. Chen Jun is good at fighting and attaches more importance to military discipline. Although he didn't want to spoil the morale of the soldiers, he also knew the serious consequences if he dared to let his subordinates slaughter the city.

Ma Wu led a battalion of men and horses to gallop around, announcing military orders in the city over and over again.

Ma Wu used to be the commander of the Xiliang Army, and before he defected to Xue Ju, he was the patriarch of a large village of the Longyou Qiang people. Although he has now become Ma Ning's deputy general, he personally announced the military situation, and he still suppressed the Xiliang soldiers who originally wanted to rob and kill. Ma Wu ordered the Zhenwu battalion to kill the soldiers on the spot with a black face, and then asked the cavalry to take a spear against the head and show the public, and then pacified the soldiers.

Ma Ning rushed to the north of the city with his personal guards on horseback, where the Taishou Mansion and the Town Shou General's Mansion were located. The Taishou Mansion with a big drum in front of the yamen had already broken through the courtyard and opened the courtyard, and a group of dismounted Xiliang cavalrymen carrying scimitars were shouting and scolding dozens of men and women captives and walked over from it. Xiliang soldiers grinned and drove them down like a herd of sheep. One of the captives may have been wounded in the leg and his foot was broken, and the man fell on the steps, and a Xiliang soldier cursed, waved his knife, and slashed at the captive's back. The blood of the captive seemed to have dried up, and his body was almost torn in half, but not much blood was shed, and he was left in the snow on the spot, unable to get up again.

It is said that this is the military discipline of the Chen Dynasty. However, the Xiliang people did not have this kind of thought, and the slaughter of the city was already their biggest concession, and if they had to treat these prisoners carefully, it would be impossible.

Ma Ning stepped forward and glanced at the group of captives, a few of them were Xu soldiers wearing armor, and some of the men were dressed in brocade robes, looking like some rich and noble people. There are other women, old and young, and you can recognize them by looking at their clothes, some of them must be the ladies of this official mansion, and the others are undoubtedly those maids and sisters-in-law.

"What about Pei Qiantong?" Ma Ning just glanced at it, and knew that the prisoners here definitely did not have Feng Yi's Taishou and Zhenshou general, Xu Guogong's Ju Guogong, and Guanglu's doctor Pei Qiantong.

One of the Xu soldiers who drove the captives walked out, but it was their team.

"Report to the general, Pei Qiantong is not in Feng Yicheng. Since the old boy guarded Feng Yi, he has been greedy for the prosperity of Changchun Palace, the southern palace of the city, and has been living in Changchun Palace under the pretext of guarding the palace. ”

Ma Ning frowned, and after quickly interrogating the captives, he realized that it was no wonder that the city was broken so smoothly, it turned out that Pei Qiantong not only hid in Changchun Palace to enjoy himself, but also brought Feng Yicheng's original 5,000 defenders with 3,000 by his side. There were only two thousand defenders in the city tonight, otherwise it would not have been possible to steal the city gates, it would have been so easy, and there was not much resistance everywhere.

Changchun Palace is located twenty miles south of Feng Yi City, which was originally a palace built by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian. Now that Pei Qiantong is regarded as his own place of happiness, Ma Ning's heart is in a hurry, and he can't help frowning. Before the rapid march, I didn't have time to do more reconnaissance, but I didn't expect such a thing. In case Pei Qiantong finds out about this side and reports to Imjin or Tongguan, it will be a big trouble.

Ma Ning turned over his horse and shouted: "Blow the horn, the herald sends orders to the battalions, the three battalions of hussars, flying cavalry, and Zhenwu are left under the command of General Ma Wu to continue to clear Feng Yicheng, and the remaining Xiongwu and Fenwu battalions immediately go out of the city with this general, and they must take Changchun Palace and annihilate Pei Qiantong's headquarters before Pei Qiantong discovers our army." After dawn, His Majesty will arrive at Feng Yi, and the Xiliang cavalry will never allow any loss in front of His Majesty, and set off! ”
