Chapter Seventy-Seven: Earning the City
Meng Jiucheng guessed in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Liu's harsh people, our army is the crime of hanging the people, you resolutely do it anyway, Meng is welcome." If you do it well, you will have a good future in the future. β
"Yes, the villain works wholeheartedly, dare not care." Hong Xi saluted again, with a respectful attitude.
In a short time, the troops were already ready, with the disguised men and horses in front and the brigade behind, heading towards the county seat.
Xiao Ying rode over, shook the binoculars in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Ninety percent, this thing is very good, can you get two more for the fifth master?" β
Meng Jiucheng blinked his eyes and quickly figured out that this was to please the Ming family and daughter.
"Okay, make a few multiples smaller, and use them as toys." Meng Jiucheng squeezed his eyes and teased: "Fifth Master, you just send someone to talk about the matchmaker, why is it so troublesome?" β
Xiao Ying glanced at him, looked like a person who had come over, and said earnestly: "You are still young, and you don't understand the matter between men and women." With my talent and appearance, it is not easy to marry a woman. But if you want to find someone who likes to miss her all the time, and wants to stay with her for life, and grow old, it depends on fate. Fate, do you understand? β
Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes, if you want to talk about pickling girls, Lao Tzu can make up a book.
You're pretending to be a ** force with me, and you don't want me to help you reconcile. Well, there is also the master, and he has to spend some effort on his own to hook him up with the seventh master.
"When you lay a foundation, our brothers will find their own nests and help you keep a place, and spend your old age in peace by the way!" Xiao Ying looked up into the distance with some longing, "Jiucheng, you are very smart, you should understand our thoughts." β
Meng Jiucheng didn't answer, of course he understood.
Wang Zhongfeng and others are different from his subordinates, and they have seniority and fame. But Meng Jiucheng is the main general, a leader, and a junior. This kind of relationship is really a bit embarrassing. Just like Mu Yi at the beginning, Meng Jiucheng's status should be highlighted everywhere. Wang Zhongfeng and the others also had this in mind, and almost retreated to the second line, helping him guard the place, and letting Meng Jiucheng give orders and play to his heart's content.
"Fifth Master, where do you like it?" After a pause for a long time, Meng Jiucheng broke the silence and asked.
"Anywhere, you look at the arrangement." Xiao Ying smiled slightly and said, "In the future, when the territory is bigger, can I not change places?" β
Meng Jiucheng nodded, feeling that Xiao Ying had already figured it out, so he didn't have to think too much.
And according to his strategic plan, first rushed to the sea, then defended in the north and attacked in the south, expanding in the weak direction of the Jin army. In this way, the north side will rely on the Maqi Mountain to build a fortress to play a solid defense of the base area. He was most relieved to arrange Xiao Ying and the others there temporarily.
The journey of more than ten miles took less than an hour, and when the brigade arrived at the county seat, the troops of Chengcheng and the vanguard had successfully entered the city. It was almost a copy of Lingyang Town, but the scope was much larger, and Liu Tingyu's army was caught off guard and rushed to meet the battle.
The news that the city had been broken spread rapidly, and the soldiers in the city were already in chaos. The troops are already insufficient, and they can still fight with their strength to defend with the city walls. And once the city is broken, the last reliance in the hearts of the enemy army is shattered, and there is no longer the will to fight, but to flee for their lives.
The rout continued to flee from other city gates, and there were also many family members of the generals, crying and shouting, and the chaos was chaotic. In this chaotic team, Liu Tingyu was also among them, and he had not yet woken up. When the news of the city was broken, it was already a chaos, and he gave orders but there was no response, and he didn't care about the chickens and dogs in the house, and several personal soldiers escorted him to flee outside the city.
How did you lose? Why did you start running for your life in a daze? Liu Tingyu seemed to be gradually sobering up, but she was even more confused by such a sudden change.
But it's defeated! Defeated so quickly, so miserable, even my family was trapped in the city, my wife and children, and all the wealth I had accumulated fell into the hands of others, really, really-
"My lord, my lord, seeing that you are safe and sound, it is true, it is really ...... Woo woo...... "A guy suddenly appeared in front of Liu Tingyu on a horse, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.
This guy is Liu Tingyu's think tank, and he claims to be proficient in the art of war. But now, the image of this "master of the art of war" is even worse than Liu Tingyu. His face was black and white, and he was washed away by sweat, and his clothes were disheveled, mud and dirt, as if he was rolling on the ground.
Liu Tingyu sighed heavily, and asked weakly, "What about the golden envoy?" Have you ever seen it? β
"Dead, smashed to death by a strong black woman." The master wiped a handful of tears from his face, his face became even more flowery, and his expression was still a little palpitating, "Barbarism, it's really barbaric." When we gather our men and horses, we will kill them back and take revengeβ"
The muscles on Liu Tingyu's face jumped twice, let's die, don't you choose a life.
Suddenly, he noticed that the master's mouth was half-open and motionless, and after holding it for a while, he suddenly cried out in terror. The rout soldiers next to him were also terrified and began to run wildly.
Liu Tingyu also felt the tremor of the earth, it should be, it should be the movement of the cavalry galloping, right? There was no need for Liu Tingyu to make a judgment, his own soldiers had already pulled his horse and began to speed up. The master also closed his mouth tightly, and his bold words had already been thrown out of the clouds.
Once the army has been defeated, it becomes very difficult to regroup. If there are any more pursuers, most of those routs will stage a long-distance race, and there will be little awareness of turning back to fight and creating opportunities for others to escape.
In other words, the pursuit of the rout is a relatively easy way to expand the results of the battle, and the gains are both large and the safety factor is high.
"Surrender to avoid death, abandon weapons and not kill!"
The horse's hooves roared, and Han Shouzhong only led more than 30 horsemen along the avenue, chasing wildly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The banner of the Red Turban Army was planted at the head of the city, and groups of soldiers began to search for the remnants of the city.
Because the city was broken too quickly, the treasury and military depot in the city were basically intact, Liu Tingyu's subordinates did not get the order, and they did not have time to destroy, and the materials fell into the hands of the Red Turban Army.
In order to raise soldiers, Liu Tingyu once looted and looted the grain and materials of the surrounding villages and towns, and also exploited the large merchants in the city. It's hard work, and it's scolding, but in the end, it was cheaper than Meng Jiucheng, I don't know if he will vomit blood in anger when he thinks of this.
Clearing out the remnants of the army, maintaining law and order, pacifying the residents, and counting the household registration, these aftermath work has been arranged, and Meng Jiucheng has only been given a little rest.
It was not until dusk that the county seat was settled, and the wounded soldiers were taken outside the city to be guarded, and the corpses were transported out of the city and buried in large mounds. Only the dried blood stains here and there will still show the fighting that took place here, but it will soon be covered by night.
