Above the northern city defense, the ruins were messy and bloody.

In the moat under the city wall, a large number of corpses and debris floated, and the river water was muddy.

In the smoke and dust of the sky, Nie Zheng led four thousand dragon and tiger troops and quickly poured into the north city gate.

With the lesson just learned outside the city, now Niu Meng, Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie and other leaders have surrounded Nie Zheng, not daring to stay away from him for more than three zhang.

Nie Zheng rode on the horse expressionlessly, but his heart was turbulent, if it wasn't for the crippled sniper named Li Yan just now, I was afraid that he would be a corpse wilderness now.

That Li Yan is a talent, and he must cultivate him well in the future.

The group crossed the city gate, and inside was a wide road, and the school barracks were built on both sides of the road, these barracks should be the barracks of the Da Yue people before, and the area of the barracks was very large, and it could accommodate 10,000 people casually, which was not a problem at all.

"Governance!"

"The subordinates are here!"

Hearing Nie Zheng's call, Shi Zheng strode to the horse and respectfully bowed his hand: "What does the alliance leader command?" ”

Nie Zheng stopped his horse, pointed to the camp in the area of the North City Defense, and said, "You lead eight hundred people to clean up this place, and from today on, you will garrison the North City Defense with them!" ”

Shi Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while: "But the other three city defenses in Yangzhou City, we haven't occupied them yet, and now we divide the troops, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Nie Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "Just now I have ordered a team to enter the city in advance to investigate, and now all the Dayue people in this Yangzhou City have all evacuated from the south city gate. ”

Hearing this, Shi Zheng's body was shocked, and he said with some surprise: "We haven't fought yet, and these Dayue people have fled?" It seems that they are not as fearless as the rumors say. ”

Nie Zheng smiled silently, he knew very well in his heart that there was no army in this world that was not afraid of death, and there was no absolutely stupid army, especially in the face of the bombardment of his own arms and artillery, it was no wonder that the Dayue people in the city were not frightened and afraid.

Just now only ten mountain cannons were used, and the heavily garrisoned northern city defense was bombed into ruins, and the Dayue troops of the other city defenses, if they did not hurry up and evacuate after hearing the news, then they would not be afraid of death, but stupid and ignorant.

Obviously, this group of Da Yue people are cunning and treacherous, and they may be brave and warlike, but they will not gather all their soldiers and horses to send them to their deaths even though they know that they are no match for the enemy.

Because they've had enough of the centaurs dead tonight.

Besides, Annam County is the territory occupied by the Da Yue people as invaders, not the Yue country on the north bank of the Mei River, their old nest.

If Nie Zheng attacks the north bank of the Mekong River today, it is estimated that even if all those Dayue people are killed in battle, they will not take a step back, let alone retreat without a fight, because guarding their own territory is the mission of every ethnic group in blood.

After dividing the 800 Dragon and Tiger Army and garrisoning it in the northern city defense, Nie Zheng led the remaining 3,000 people and horses to continue to advance towards the city, preparing to take over all the city defenses of the entire Yangzhou City before dawn.

It was dark and the city was quiet.

The brigade marched all the way forward from the camp in the northern city defense, and the torches were lit on the guard towers on both sides of the road, illuminating the surrounding area a little uncertainly.

With the help of the light on the top, Nie Zheng, under the protection of all the leaders and masters, quickly left the northern city defense and ran towards the inner city.

Yangzhou is a very large city, maybe in the evening, Nie Zheng and they can't get a glimpse of the entire city, but now that they have entered the city, they are instantly shocked by the huge scale of this city.

Yangju Castle is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The outer city is a mile away from the inner city and is an important place for military defense. In fact, the inner city has no walls, but rows of houses and courtyards are closely connected, and finally form a natural "wall" separating the outer city.

Of course, these "walls" of the inner city are of different heights, and the alleys are lined up and arranged in an extremely irregular manner, but this is the inner city, and as long as you pass through this long "wall", inside is the huge city with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, which is known as the largest city in the southwest.

The road leading from the north gate to the inner city is a main passage about five zhang wide, so that there are four wide main passages, which are within the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

The huge Yangzhou City is integrated by these four main passages, and then perfunctory countless small streets, the entire huge city is divided into neighborhood areas of different sizes like a spider web.

The sound of horses' hooves and the sound of their feet are steady and powerful.

A team of thousands of people marched through the huge archway leading to the inner city, and officially headed towards the core area of the city.

Along the way, in the buildings on both sides of the street, from time to time, people opened their windows and looked cautiously.

For Nie Zheng's people entering the city, the people of Yangzhou City had curiosity, worry, fear, and joy in their eyes, but more importantly, it was a sluggishness close to numbness. They knew very well in their hearts that from tonight onwards, the city would change hands, or rather temporarily. Who knows if the army of the Da Yue people will make a comeback again in the future, and the fierceness and belligerence of the Da Yue people will not be known to anyone in the entire southwest?

Facing the prying eyes of the people in the city, Nie Zheng's men and horses didn't care, they still followed behind the Nie Alliance Lord with excited expressions, preparing to take over the other three city defenses.

Nie Zheng sat on a horse, and on the way into the city, he looked at the houses and shops on both sides of the street as if they were passing by in front of him, and his mood was very excited.

Reborn in this strange ancient world for so long, tonight, he finally occupied a real city of his own.

From tonight onwards, everything in this Yangzhou city will belong to him, and the power of life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in the city will also be in his hands.

Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties.

This is the ultimate dream that makes every boy really enthusiastic.

Now, Nie Zheng has taken a big step forward towards this dream, and after occupying Yangzhou, as long as he succeeds in stabilizing the situation, he will have a base for long-term development in the future.

All the people under the rule of Yangzhou City are the foundation of his future development and growth.

However, these are not the things that make Nie Zheng the most excited, what makes him most excited and looking forward to it is the gold and silver treasury in Yangzhou City.

For a city as big as Yangzhou, there should be a lot of gold and silver in the treasury, right?

The speed of their siege tonight was ferocious, and it took less than two hours to break through the northern city defense garrisoned by the heavy troops of Dayue, and the Dayue army stationed in the other three city defenses had already heard the wind and evacuated the city.

In such a tight time, these Dayue people didn't have time to take away the valuable things in the city, especially the gold and silver in the treasury, and they had no chance to carry them.

You must know that the scale of Yangzhou City is huge, and it takes less than half an hour to go back and forth from the various city defenses to the core area of the city, and it cannot be completed at all.

In such a short period of time, the Dayue people in the city did not dare to take this risk easily.

Besides, even if those Dayue aristocratic officials in the city took some gold and silver property with them before leaving, it is estimated that the amount will not be too much, after all, everyone is in a hurry to flee for their lives, and if they bring too many things, it will definitely affect the speed.

Therefore, Nie Zheng was not very worried, the gold and silver in the Yangzhou treasury would be emptied, no matter what, a large part of it would be left inside.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng asked the team to speed up.

Finally, half an hour later, Nie Zheng led thousands of dragon and tiger armies into the central area of the city, which was a crossroads that ran through the city.

At this time, Nie Zheng immediately ordered everyone: "Xu Shijie, Xue Changsheng, An Dehai, the three of you each take 800 men and horses, go to the south gate, west gate, and east gate respectively, and occupy all these three city defenses. ”

After hearing the order, the three of them all bowed their hands and said, "Obey, alliance leader!" ”

A moment later, they each led eight hundred dragon and tiger elites and hurriedly parted ways.

After the three leaders Xu Shijie, Xue Changsheng, and An Dehai led people away, now, above the crossroads, there are only more than 700 dragon and tiger troops left such as Niu Meng and Chen Shou.

At this time, Nie Zheng glanced at Niu Meng and asked, "Where is the Yangzhou County Government, have you sent someone to find out?" ”

Niu Meng smiled and said: "I have already sent Su Monkey and them to investigate, the county government is not far ahead, and it can be reached at most tea time, it is said that in the county government, dozens of officials of Yangzhou City have already prepared a seal letter, waiting for the alliance leader to go over to palm the seal." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Those officials are not from Dayue?" ”

Niu Meng said: "Of course not, the officials of Dayue have already fled, and the remaining officials are all Han Chinese, and they are said to be doing things for the Dayue people, not to mention, these Dayue people who occupy Yangzhou are actually quite smart, and they know how to find some Han people who are quite famous in the local area to manage the city for them." ”

Nie Zheng nodded and said, "Has the treasury of Yangzhou City been explored?" ”

Niu Meng said: "It has been investigated, but there is some chaos in the warehouse, it seems that the Dayue people moved a lot of gold and silver out before leaving, but now I have asked Su Monkey to take people to guard the warehouse." ”

Nie Zheng frowned and said, "Hurry up and take me to the warehouse!" ”

Niu Meng was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't we have to go to the county government to receive the seal first?" ”

Nie Zheng said angrily: "Shouyin is in a hurry, Lao Tzu's gold and silver is the most important thing, compared with the gold and silver in the treasury, what kind of Laoshizi's Yangzhou city seal has a ghost use, Lao Tzu is the owner of this city without the city seal, who dares to say no to me?" ”

Niu Meng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll lead the way." ”

After saying that, Niu Meng led seven hundred dragon and tiger elites, protected the Nie Alliance Leader, and hurriedly rushed straight to the street in front.

A group of dragons and tigers, following the horse of the Nie League Master at a rapid pace, their mood was a little strange, and they said secretly: "I have long heard that the Alliance Master is a miser, and he likes gold and silver the most in his life, and today it seems that it is really right......"
