Chapter 615: Occupy Yi County

Before the three patrol soldiers could react, they were knocked unconscious with sticks by the sneak attacking soldiers, and the Song army also adhered to Fanning's instructions, and tried not to kill the Han soldiers, mainly live prisoners, of course, it also depends on the situation, not pedantic, in front of the two armies, if you don't kill each other, the other party will kill you, that is stupid.

In the case of a sneak attack on the city, the slaughter could be avoided, and the Flying Tigers soon found that more than 30 soldiers at the head of the city were sleeping in the tower, and the soldiers used bamboo pipes to blow a large amount of drugs into the tower, and in just a moment, more than 30 soldiers fell unconscious.

In addition to the hundred Song army scouts on the head of Nancheng, there were no other soldiers, which made the Song army scouts a little surprised, they didn't expect that the defense of Yi County was so sparse, it was simply a formality, wasting such a strong and tall city in vain.

The other dozen soldiers were sleeping in the city cave, which was sheltered, warm, dry, and comfortable to sleep in, second only to the city tower, and the Flying Tiger battalion general Li Jian led fifty scouts to block the last dozen defenders in the city cave, and they had to surrender on their knees.

A mile away, Yang Wenguang stared intently at the city gate, there was no movement on the city, he was a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that he made a mistake in judgment and the Flying Tigers were ambushed?

No way! Yang Wenying admonished himself to be calm and wait patiently.

At this moment, there was a fire on the city, the city gate began to be slowly lowered, the surrounding soldiers cheered excitedly, Yang Wenguang smashed the dirt with a punch, he got up and turned over his horse, and shouted to his subordinates: "Enter the city!" ”

10,000 Song troops followed Yang Wenguang and quickly rushed to the city of Yixian, and rushed to the city in a moment, the city gate was wide open, and the battalion general Li Jian was waiting at the gate, Yang Wenguang saw Li Jian, and hurriedly reined in his war horse and asked: "How is the situation in the military camp in the city?" ”

"The Liao army is still asleep, but I am afraid that once there is an attack on the barracks, I am afraid that the defenders of the other three city gates will flee, should you send troops to block them outside the city in advance?"

Yang Wenguang pondered for a moment and said: "Originally, I wanted to let the Liao army know, disrupt his follow-up deployment, don't worry about a few city gates, if the defenders want to escape, follow them, and concentrate on solving the defenders in the city!" ”

"Obey!"

Li Jian led the Song army to the military camp in the city.

In a short time, 10,000 Song troops had surrounded the barracks, 'Boom! With a loud bang, the soldiers of the Song army smashed a large hole in the outer wall of the armor hangar with a giant log, and more than a thousand soldiers rushed in and occupied the armor store of the barracks.

At this time, the Liao soldiers in the barracks had been awakened, they were all very dazed, the weapons were not in their hands, but were stored in the armor warehouse, more than 3,000 people were bare-handed, not knowing what to do.

At this time, some Song soldiers shouted: "We are all Han Chinese, we don't want to kill our brothers, those who come out to surrender will be unconditionally released home, if they resist stubbornly, they will be killed!" ”

"We surrender!"

Recently, a group of Han soldiers raised their hands and ran out, and immediately some soldiers escorted them down, and soon, another soldiers came out one after another to surrender.

In less than half an hour, more than 2,500 people came out to surrender, but there were still about 500 people who did not move.

"Give you one last chance, if you don't surrender, the Song army will attack and will not accept surrender again."

The soldiers shouted four or five times in a row, but there was still no movement in the barracks.

Yang Wenguang felt that something was wrong, and waved his hand to the spearmen behind him, and hundreds of spearmen slowly walked towards the barracks.

At this moment, a shout erupted from the barracks, and four or five hundred people rushed out of the barracks, armed with sticks, chairs, and other items, desperately rushing towards the armory.

The Song army in the armor warehouse fired arrows in a chaotic manner, and the Liao soldiers who rushed in front screamed and fell, shooting more than 100 people in an instant.

Yang Wenguang also shouted loudly: "Rush up, kill!" ”

Thousands of pikemen rushed forward, the remaining more than 300 people were so frightened that they retreated, many knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, dozens of Khitan soldiers and generals rushed up with swords, the Khitans would carry a knife with them even if they slept, they refused to surrender and wanted to break out.

Hundreds of pikemen swarmed up, stabbing out indiscriminately, the Khitans fell to the ground one after another, only a moment, more than 50 Khitan generals and soldiers were all stabbed to death, and the remaining Han soldiers saw that the general trend had gone, and they knelt down and surrendered.

They didn't have such good luck, Yang Wenguang knew that although these people were Han faces, they were actually Liao, leaving them would only be a disaster, and they would kill them back sooner or later, so Yang Wenguang coldly ordered: "Kill them all!" ”

It was useless to plead, and in the midst of a terrible scream, in the end, more than 300 people were all shot with arrows.

Coming out of the barracks, he saw Li Jian escorting more than 150 people with soldiers, Li Jian stepped forward and reported: "These are the soldiers guarding the other three city gates, they don't want to flee and take the initiative to surrender." ”

Yang Wenguang nodded, "Arrange them with other surrendered soldiers and release them after dawn." ”

..........

The day is getting brighter, the Song army has taken control of the entire Yi County, they are not without any crimes, almost all the Khitan mansions have been seized by the soldiers, the Khitans and their families have been sent to the military camp for temporary detention, Yang Wenguang is a veteran after all, he did not have the idea of slaughtering the Khitans, but gave them a little food and let them leave on their own.

Although more than ninety percent of Yi County are Han Chinese, there is no scene where countless Han people happily run out to welcome the Song army to the north, the streets are deserted, and the residents in the city are very frightened.

Yang Wenguang is concerned about grain, he took several generals to the Yi County warehouse, Yi County has a total of three warehouses, a county warehouse, a state warehouse, and the other belongs to Nanjing Road, the county library and the state warehouse are local grain warehouses, not a lot of grain, there are 20,000 stone of grain in the county treasury, and there are 70,000 stones in the state treasury, which are basically last year's tax grain, and have not been released to Nanjing Road.

However, the grain depot belonging to Nanjing Road is a war preparation grain depot, consisting of a total of ten warehouses, mainly to provide logistical supplies for the Liao army attacking the direction of Taiyuan, 200,000 stone of grain, 150,000 quintals of forage, as well as a large number of armor materials, and countless mutton frozen in the cellar.

Yang Wenguang was overjoyed, there was so much food, enough for his army to eat for a year.

At this time, the soldiers escorted more than a dozen officials over, the state official was a Khitan, trembling with fear, his face was like earth, and the county commander was a Han man, more than 30 years old, but his expression was calm.

Yang Wenguang glanced at them and said, "Don't embarrass them, let them go!" ”

More than a dozen officials thanked him and left, but the county order did not leave, Yang Wenguang was a little strange and asked, "I let you go, why don't you leave?" ”

The county magistrate said lightly: "I am a county parent official, how can I leave my people behind?" ”

Yang Wenguang saw that he was quite responsible, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"In Xia Kongran, he is a native of Yizhou."

"Your family is in Yi County?"

"Exactly! My wife and children are both in Yi County. ”

"Then you will stay and continue to serve as the county commander, but it is not the county order of the Liao State, but the county order of the Great Song Dynasty, can you accept it?"

Kong Ran hesitated and said, "But I am from the Liao Kingdom Jinshi!" ”

Yang Wenguang waved his hand, "I don't care what you did before, I only care about you in the future, as long as you can do a good job in the county order, I will show your credit to Xiao Fan." ”

Kong Ran bowed deeply, "As a Han Chinese, I am willing to serve my homeland!" ”

Yang Wenguang followed him to the county government in his heart, only to see dozens of elders standing at the gate of the county office, they saw Kong County Order coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to surround him, "Kong County Order, the officers and soldiers didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Kong Ran clenched his fists and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, I am still a county order, but it is already a county order of the Great Song Dynasty, thank you for your concern!" ”

"As long as the Kong County Order is here, we are also willing to change our flag and return to the Great Song Dynasty."

Kong Ran hurriedly introduced Yang Wenguang to everyone, "This old general Yang is the son of Yang Yanzhao and the grandson of Yang Jiye, and he is a generous elder, if you have any requirements or questions, you can ask him." ”

The story of the Yang family general is not only widely spread in the Great Song Dynasty, but also well-known in Yanshan Mansion, and everyone heard that this old general is the master of the Yang family general, and they immediately stood in awe and saluted together.

An elder asked, "May I ask General Yang, is the Song army temporarily occupying Yizhou, or is it permanent?" ”

Another elder also said: "Old General Yang, the Khitans and we have lived together for a hundred years, and we all get along peacefully, so I implore the old general not to kill them." ”

"Listen to me, everybody!"

Yang Wenguang waved his hand and said: "I tell you three things, first, since I, Yang Wenguang, have come to Yizhou, I will not leave again, I believe that with the strong national strength of my Great Song Dynasty and the wise and martial young monarch, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be able to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and this day will not be far away."

Second, the Great Song Dynasty is an army of benevolence and righteousness, and will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and for the Khitans in the city, I will let them go and will not slaughter them.

Third, the wealth of the Khitan people and the grain in the county warehouse, I will distribute it to the people of the county, from today onwards, the people of Yizhou will be exempt from tax for ten years, which is the blessing of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After Yang Wenguang finished speaking, all the old people applauded and cheered warmly.
