Chapter 19 The Reconquest of Yangzhou
It's all gone!
It's like Nan Ke is in a dream......
Woke up suddenly!
Frustration and sadness that I have never had before, I don't have the heart to care about what is going on outside.
I don't want to think about how I failed!
Li Chongjin said sadly to his wife, children and mother: "Since you are the Li family, now that the Li family has been defeated, you will be slaves and maids for the rest of your life, and you will be humiliated, so you might as well leave together!" The family also has company on Huangquan Road. ”
When the ladies heard him say this, they immediately cried out.
"The lord has descended!" The concubines shouted that they were still young and didn't want to die like this.
The old lady shook her hands, "You...... Son......" I couldn't speak for a long time.
Mrs. Li rushed forward with the toddler in her arms, knelt down in front of him, and begged: "The child is innocent, you can't be so ruthless!" ”
"It's me who is sorry for you, and I will make up for it in the next life!" Li Chongjin looked up to the sky and sighed.
Mrs. Li burst into tears and pleaded, "Master! The concubine will go with you, but the child ...... Just spare him his life! Choked up and speechless.
Li Chongjin trembled all over, wanting to look down at his favorite little son, but he still couldn't hold back and didn't bow his head.
Gritting his teeth, the sword he was holding in his hand stabbed through, and immediately pierced through the bodies of Mrs. Li and her youngest son.
He closed his eyes, drew his sword, and the two of them fell in a pool of blood.
The women behind screamed in shock, their faces were colorless with fright, and they fled in panic.
He opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of blood.
He stepped forward with his sword and stabbed them one by one in a pool of blood.
His old mother, his concubines, and his children.
One by one, they died by his sword and fell before him.
He was covered in blood and looked like crazy, turned around, and stared at Zhao Ting with scarlet eyes.
shouted: "Lao Tzu fought with you." ”
Lifting his sword and swooping up.
slashed like crazy, and slashed at Zhao Ting with a sword, but he blocked it with a dragon stick.
I didn't want to kill him, but I saw that he was crazy and refused to surrender.
And the hundreds of guards of the Li Mansion were also hesitating whether to rush up and fight together.
Zhao Ting's eyes turned cold, and he shouted: "You are so vicious, you are defeated, but you want the whole family to bury you for you, people like you are innocent of death." ”
Just now, I saw that he really killed his wife, children, and mother.
It's too late to stop him, and there is no longer the slightest sympathy and softness for him at the moment.
With a wave of the dragon stick, he used internal force, and Li Chongjin's moves were chaotic, slashing indiscriminately, and there was an opponent.
The golden light flashed, cutting through the mist, Li Chongjin's neck was broken alive, and his head rolled to the ground.
The servants and guards in the palace were already stunned by the scene in front of them, and they dared to resist.
Seeing that Li Chongjin was dead, most of the people hesitated and knelt down and surrendered.
There were also a few stubborn ones who rushed up and fought hard, but they were also killed by He Chong and his people.
Zhao Ting glanced at the mansion and didn't see the man in white.
I can't say whether I was happy or sorry for not seeing him.
If you see him again, you must have a good fight with him, even if you know that you are not his opponent, but those who practice martial arts have a competitive spirit.
What's more, he has been defeated in his hands, and he always wants to win it back.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't show up at this time, he has more important things to do.
Zhao Ting stepped forward, lifted Li Chongjin's head from the ground, turned around and walked out of the house.
As soon as I walked out of the Li Mansion, I saw a large group of soldiers and horses pouring on the street.
It was Li Chongjin's lieutenant general, who couldn't wait for his instructions at the head of the city, and sent several groups of people to deliver the message but didn't come back.
Now that there is chaos in the city, and the Song army is attacking the city so much, it is impossible for the general not to come to the city to inspect.
The deputy general thought that there must have been an accident in the Li Mansion, so he hurriedly ordered soldiers and horses to come to the rescue.
From a distance, I saw a person coming out of the Li Mansion, standing majestically on the steps and looking at himself.
The lieutenant had never seen this person before, and he grabbed Ma Gang and wanted to ask.
I saw that the man lifted the thing in his hand and raised it high, and said loudly: "Li Chongjin has been ambushed, and you will be surrendered quickly!" ”
The deputy general was shocked, and then he saw that the black black black that the man was carrying was indeed a human head, and if he looked closely, it was really Li Chongjin.
"General......" The lieutenant general and the soldiers all cried out in mourning.
I panicked and didn't know where to go!
The adjutant general's eyes were red, and he drew his knife and shouted: "The thief assassinated the general, kill me!" And he rushed over.
The soldiers behind also rushed towards Zhao Ting.
Dozens of people suddenly jumped down from the eaves on both sides of the road, it was Zhao Ting's guards who were ambushed around the Li Mansion, all of them had achieved light skills and strong martial arts.
Before the man could hit the ground, the blade swept into the necks of the soldiers.
The martial arts of ordinary soldiers are not high, and suddenly there were opponents before, and the screams of misery rose one after another, and after a while, a large number of people fell.
The adjutant general rode on his horse and looked down, and the ground was instantly full of corpses, and he was the only one standing there alone and one horse.
The streets were crowded, and although they were followed by a large army, they could not rush up together for a while.
He just wanted to drink and order the rear army to rush forward, but he saw a sword light flash in front of him, and suddenly his throat tightened, and he couldn't speak.
The lieutenant raised his hand and touched his neck, and his hands were covered with bright red blood.
His eyes widened, his throat gurgling, blood gushing out, and he fell off his horse and convulsed a few times before he died.
He Chong stood in front of his horse with his sword in his hand, looking at the corpses on the ground.
The soldiers in the back wanted to rush forward, but when they saw that the general and the adjutant general were dead, they were also frightened by the scene of interception just now.
One by one, they hesitated......
Zhao Ting lifted Li Chongjin's head and shouted: "Li Chongjin has been ambushed." Surrender will save you from capital crimes!"
Seeing the human head, the group of dragons has no leader, who is willing to die!
He Chong also shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of the Great Song Dynasty and Wei is here, you will be surrendered as soon as possible!" ”
Soldiers crowded on the streets, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at the corpses lying on the street in front of you.
Hearing the name of the King of the Great Song Dynasty, they were all disheartened, one soldier threw away the sword and halberd in his hand, and the other soldiers also surrendered one after another.
Zhao Ting threw Li Chongjin's head to He Chong.
He Chong carried the head and turned over on the horse, rode the horse and galloped through the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City, shouting: "Li Chongjin ambush." The Song army has entered the city, and the surrender can avoid the death penalty! ”
The soldiers and civilians in the city saw that the general was dead, saw the head with their own eyes, and the shouts of the city were also heard everywhere, and they gradually gave up resistance.
Zhao Ting personally led the guards to the north city gate, and the soldiers defending the city lost their fighting spirit when they saw Li Chongjin's head.
Some surrendered, some fled in the chaos, and the remaining ones who desperately resisted were also killed by Zhao Ting's personal entourage.
Eventually, the gates were taken.
As soon as the city gate opened, the Song army poured in like a tide.
The remaining civil and military officials had no choice but to lead the crowd to surrender.
The city of Yangzhou was completely recovered.
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi also entered the city to join Zhao Ting.
After the surrendered army in the city was put in order, and everything was settled.
Zhao Kuangyin ordered strict military discipline and strictly ordered the Song army to return to the barracks and still garrison outside the city.
It is not allowed to harass the people, and there is no crime against the people of Yangzhou City.
and sent Zhao Ting to personally govern Yangzhou and re-standardize the physique.
Although Yangzhou City has experienced this major war, the damage to the city is not serious, it is still the original state, and there is no chaotic situation of burning, killing and looting.
Li Chongjin guarded Yangzhou for many years, in order to raise troops and extort violently, although Yangzhou was rich, but the people lived in poverty.
So at first, the people were apprehensive about the arrival of the Song army, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
But seeing Zhao Ting's strict regulations, he must not disturb the people.
In order to maintain the continued stability of Yangzhou, the civil officials basically continued to use Li Chongjin's old department.
Therefore, whether it is the people or the officials of Yangzhou, they all feel the benevolent government of the Song Dynasty, are grateful to Dai De, and wholeheartedly support the Song Emperor.
