"Report! Lord Governor, the inner fortress of our army has been occupied by thieves, and the gate is closed. ”

Xie Yan's face suddenly turned pale and incredulous, and suddenly heard a commotion in the inner city, and a group of murderous rebels rushed out of the fortress.

Xie Yan stood on the inner city wall, stunned and watched as the two streams of people, a strong stream of blood flowing between his throats, and he pressed down.

Outside the city, there were piles of corpses, stumps and broken arms scattered on the ground, corpses overlapped, blood all over the ground, and there were bursts of moans and cries in the smell of blood.

The 40,000 officers and soldiers retreated, all of whom fled in disarray, crowded on the road leading to the inner city, unable to retreat back to the inner city.

Yang Qi's 20,000 rebel soldiers charged, and some people shouted from time to time: "Those who disarm and surrender will not be killed." ”

The officers and soldiers fled frantically, and the originally exhausted officers and soldiers had to surrender on their knees.

Seeing the defeat of the officers and soldiers in the city, Xie Yan's face turned pale, sighed, and muttered: "It's over, Yanchuan County is also over." ”

Of course, there were also imperial generals who desperately resisted, and fierce fighting sounds were heard in the area.

Some imperial generals were sad and indignant and had no intention of surrendering. Each man was armed with a large sword and a spear, and resisted desperately.

These resisting generals also maintained a basic military formation, attacking with spears and knives, and when they could not overcome the resistance for a while, they called in the sharpshooters of the bow battalion and shot them in rows.

These loyal imperial generals, with their superior martial arts and talents, organized a rebellion, but in the end they were killed one by one.

After another half an hour, the battlefield gradually fell silent, and most of the officers and soldiers who had not yet fled into the inner city either surrendered or fled elsewhere, but there were still sporadic officers and soldiers who resisted.

Yang Qi's personal guard army and three thousand iron cavalry did not fight, of course, in their hearts to prevent accidents.

Yang Qi had 20,000 elite soldiers, and Xie Yan's officers and soldiers were tired after a long battle, and then retreated in a hurry, just because the army was in turmoil, and he successfully defeated the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop.

With the great victory just now, there were only thousands of tired and wounded soldiers left in Longge City, even if some soldiers were unharmed, but because the inner city fortress was occupied by the enemy, the morale of the army was also weakened.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Yang Qicai looked at the battlefield, and there were fewer and fewer imperial generals who were still fighting and resisting on the battlefield, covered in blood, and the resistance was in vain.

Yang Qi remained silent and looked at these imperial generals coldly.

Jiang Feng stepped forward at this time and sighed: "After this battle, the overall situation of Yanchuan County has been decided. ”

The miles of battlefield were covered with bloody corpses, staining the roads of the city red, and the roads were littered with weapons and instruments.

At this time, the generals of the rebel army ordered the officers and soldiers to be deprived of their weapons, rushed to the prisoner of war camp, and guarded them separately and in batches, and captured more than 20,000 officers and soldiers.

On the battlefield, the commander forbade the killing of prisoners of war, and ordered wounded officers and soldiers to rush to the medical camp to receive simple treatment if they were slightly wounded.

If he is seriously injured, he will naturally look at his creation, and if he cannot be saved, he will make up for it with a knife to alleviate his pain.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng felt pity for them in his heart, but he also knew that this was normal, these seriously injured soldiers were difficult to treat, so they had to be dealt with like this.

Jiang Feng relieved his mood and suggested to Yang Qi: "Great marshal, according to the ministers, after this battle, the officers and soldiers of Longge City have suffered a great loss, but there are still about 10,000 officers and soldiers in the inner city, although the attack is insufficient, but the defense is more than enough. The marshal, the ministers and others think it is better to persuade them to surrender first. ”

Yang Qi didn't seem to see the killing scene in his eyes, he only smiled at Jiang Feng, and asked with interest, "Oh, Mr. Jiang, please tell me carefully." ”

Jiang Feng held back his mind and said in a deep voice: "Although Du Ying, the county guard of Yanchuan County, is rarely famous, he is already sixty years old, and he is already very old, I heard that he has been seriously ill recently, and I am afraid that time is running out. If he is still alive, the rebel army's attack on Yandu City will be the last battle of his life. So the county guard Du Ying has nothing to worry about. ”

"As for Xie Yan, after this battle, the elite of Dragon Pavilion City was lost, and his strength was greatly damaged. According to the minister's view, even if he escapes, it is also prestige, no longer Xie family was at its peak, it is difficult to suppress and order other wealthy families, in this case, if the marshal attacks now, it may provoke the wealthy family to fight to the death, although the marshal does not shoot, there is also a sharp weapon of the country, but the inner city wall is high and heavy, but I am afraid that it is difficult to easily overcome. ”

"Then what kind of advice do you have to stop attacking the inner city?"

Jiang Feng replied categorically: "Exactly!" Although Dashuai has won a great victory now, his foundation in Yanchuan County is too weak, and although he can immediately occupy Longge City at this time, he can easily break through Lingzhou Mansion and Dongchuan Mansion and complete the occupation of the north. In this way, the rich county town in the central part of the country is threatened, but if the Xie family is not appeased, the rear will be unstable, and a dangerous situation of fighting on both sides may occur at any time. ”

"At this time, Dragon Pavilion City has been dilapidated, and it is tired and disabled, if you don't take the opportunity to make the Xie clan surrender, how long will you stay?"

Yang Qi heard his analysis, almost exactly the same as what he thought in his heart, looked at the mastermind with appreciation, smiled faintly, and said: "What you said is not wrong, but there is a slight change, what do you think of Zhang Yan?" ”

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's really a great general in the world, and a handsome man who knows a hero." ”

This is the truth, Yang Qi listened, couldn't help but smile lightly, and said: "This battle is a big victory, Zhang Yan has made great contributions, I will go back and officially separate the cavalry into a legion, called Yingce Cavalry, he became the first cavalry general, the first regiment with a title for my righteous army." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Qi said again: "Zhang Yanzhi is both brave and brave, not only has the ability to command the army, but also a 10,000-strong enemy, the champion of the three armies, the reason why he has repeatedly failed to see his merits is that you are born a horse bandit, and you have the commander to suppress and implicate him, the rebel army is still weak, and he can't tolerate the slightest wave, and now he deserves to take the opportunity to promote him." ”

Seeing that Jiang Feng was about to speak again, Yang Qi waved his hand and said: "Now that Xie Yan is defeated and the Lingzhou Mansion is empty, I will give you two guard troops, lead two newly built return guns, and take the Lingzhou Mansion City first, you don't have to attack again in the future, wait for the follow-up order, you dare to take this order?" ”

Jiang Feng was grateful in his heart, he was a very intelligent person, and he naturally knew that at this time, Longge City was defeated, and Lingzhou Mansion no longer had any troops, and it was empty at this time, and it was easy to conquer.

As soon as the banner of the rebel army arrived, the surrounding cities and counties were afraid that they would fall in the wind, and even if they resisted, they would break through the city wall in a few rounds and easily occupy it.

There is some trouble in Lingzhou City, but if the plan is right, it is also very certain, this is a big handsome

deliberately cultivated himself and allowed himself to make meritorious contributions in order to establish prestige and meritorious service, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, the soldiers of our rebel army are trained and brave, and at this time it is a big victory, and it will be swept down." ”

Yang Qi laughed, at this moment, more than a dozen horses galloped in the distance, and it was Zhang Yan who looked at him, he was covered in blood, his expression was extremely happy and happy, he was really a natural general.
