Chapter 226: Surrender

Shi Ziling said: "This is the special attack division I founded with my own hands, and today's small test of the knife did not disappoint me.General Yin, do you think it is necessary to continue to fight this battle?"

Yin Qi has led the troops for many years, and has led the army to fight against the army of the Xiahou family many times, and he has become the deputy commander of the capital after many years of birth and death, of course, he has seen that his 20,000 reinforcements are not the opponent of Shiziling's special attack division at all, and if he continues to fight, it will only increase casualties, but it will not cause much damage to the special attack division.

Yin Qi sighed heavily and said: "Shi Ziling, I didn't expect you to be so powerful in leading troops, I have led troops to fight for many years, and I have never seen such a powerful legion, such a legion can be ten with one." You have such a male soldier in your hands, it seems that Sect Leader Li may not be your opponent, you can kill me. ”

Shi Ziling smiled slightly and ignored him, but jumped up and stood on horseback, carrying the highest-level Outer Heaven Demon Voice and shouted: "Listen to all the soldiers of the city defenders, your defeat is decided, and if you continue to fight, you will only lose your life in vain, as long as you immediately put down the weapons in your hands and surrender, I can open the net and no longer chase and kill." ”

"My goal is to take control of Mijing City, and I don't want to go on a killing spree, let alone slaughter the city. As long as you raise your hands and surrender immediately, I will definitely let you live. But if you continue to be stubborn and stubborn, I will never show mercy!"

Although the two sides were fighting in full swing, Shi Ziling's extraterrestrial magic sound was extremely penetrating, and his shout from the top still made most of the soldiers on the battlefield hear it clearly.

These reinforcements under Yin Qi were put together temporarily, and after several generals were killed by Shi Ziling, they were already a little demoralized, and when the special attack division completely broke up their formation, most of them were just a group of dozens of people fighting on their own, completely unable to resist the echelon attack of the special attack division, and soon there were large casualties.

At this moment, when I heard Shi Ziling's promise that those who raised their hands to surrender could avoid death, many reinforcements in a critical situation immediately threw down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

The soldiers of the special attack division were well-trained, and they did not kill the reinforcements of the city defenders who raised their hands and surrendered, but only organized the weapons they threw down to one side, and then drove these surrendered troops to the other side and squatted on the other side.

Seeing that the soldiers who raised their hands in front of them and surrendered were all safe and sound, more and more reinforcements under Yin Qi followed suit and threw down the blades in their hands. In addition to those who had fled far away, the remaining small number of soldiers who were still resisting were soon ruthlessly surrounded and suppressed by the special attack division.

The three echelons of the special attack division maintained a good formation from beginning to end, and wherever their impregnable offensive went, the defenders of the city either abandoned their weapons and surrendered and crouched on standby, or quickly lost their lives under the continuous strong impact of the three echelons of the special attack division, and the remaining part had already fled far away. An encounter quickly subsided, and the Raiders emerged victorious.

Looking at the many soldiers who were squatting on the ground and raising their hands to surrender, Yin Qi was extremely shocked in his heart, Shi Ziling's special attack division was not only extremely powerful, but even the means of dealing with prisoners were also in order.

After these surrenderers raised their hands and surrendered, they were concentrated on one side and crouched on standby, while the blades they carried were far to the other side, guarded by a small group of soldiers from the special attack division in the middle, so as not to consume too many manpower, but also to control the situation on the battlefield to the greatest extent. Everything seemed well-trained and methodical, which made Yin Qi admire.

Shi Ziling saw that the overall situation had been decided, and the special attack division successfully defeated the opponent's 20,000 reinforcements without many casualties, and also captured a large number of prisoners, and he was very happy in his heart. He grabbed Yin Qi and jumped off the horse, patted the sealed acupoint on Yin Qi's body, and said:

"General Yin, our Songhu Legion is on the occasion of employing people, I appreciate your uprightness and courage to death, and I sincerely hope that you can join our Legion to serve, and in the future, we will work together to strive for the people of the world to live a long-term and stable life as soon as possible. I wonder what you think?"

Yin Qi was stunned on the spot, and only after a long time did he say, "Shi Ziling, do you want me to submit to you?" Aren't you afraid that I will wait for an opportunity to make trouble in your army?"

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "General Yin, I have always been very accurate in my opinion, you are by no means the kind of traitor who is inconsistent with what is on the outside, if you insist on not serving me, I don't want to force you, you can take your men and leave." ”

"What?"

Yin Qi couldn't believe his ears, and asked in surprise, "You...... You're going to let me go, and you're going to let me take my men with you?"

Leng Long and Leng Hu on the side were also surprised when they heard it. Although this encounter was won easily, after all, the opponent had more than 20,000 troops, in addition to those who were killed on the spot and fled in all directions, the remaining troops also had nearly 10,000 troops. If these people are allowed to leave freely, then isn't this battle just now in vain?

It's just that although they have doubts in their hearts, they know that the Dao Shiziling must be reasonable, so they don't ask.

Shi Ziling said calmly: "General Yin, I don't have many troops with me on this expedition, and it is impossible to divide many people to guard your surrendered army, and I definitely don't want to start a bloody massacre of the city." Since I don't want to kill you, I naturally want to let you go. ”

"However, although you may leave, you must not carry your blades with you, and you can only leave through the east gate, because I will completely seal off the road gateway to the north as soon as possible, so that you do not join up with Li Yuan's army. ”

Yin Qi asked himself if he would die after being captured by Shi Ziling, but he didn't expect Shi Ziling not only not to kill him, but also offered to let him surrender and join the Songhu Army, and was even willing to let him leave from the east gate.

Looking at the natural expression on Shi Ziling's face, Yin Qi sighed with emotion in his heart, he never thought that Shi Ziling would treat the surrendered army like this, if he was replaced by Li Yuan, he would have ordered them to be killed.

After standing for a long time and thinking about it repeatedly, Yin Qi knelt on the ground and said loudly: "General Shi is not only the top master in the world, but also a genius who leads the army, Yin Qi is fortunate to be appreciated by General Shi, and is determined to swear allegiance to General Shi!

Shi Ziling was very pleased, and stepped forward to help Yin Qi up and said: "When our Songhu Legion is employing people, it's really good that General Yin is willing to join, please hurry up." ”

Yin Qi stood up and said: "General Shi, this time the elite in the west have been transferred to the two major armies of the blue wolf and grizzly bear to crusade against the Xiahou family, most of the city defenders who remain in the city are not descendants of the Li Yuan family, only a small number of generals and officials such as the city guard Li Yan and the capital commander Li Shuo are Li Yuan's cronies." ”

"Although I am only a deputy commander, I still have some prestige among the city defenders, especially the north gate where I am usually stationed, although I only have 10,000 troops, I have always been loyal to me. If General Shi can trust me, please let me persuade the remaining defenders to surrender, and I believe that a group of people will be willing to follow Yin Qi and join General Shi's command. ”

Shi Ziling nodded slightly: "This is very good, as I said just now, those who are willing to surrender to serve our legion, I welcome them very much, if they are unwilling to stay, I will not embarrass them, as long as they put down their weapons and equipment, I can let them exit Mijing City from the east gate." ”

Yin Qi saw that Shi Ziling trusted him very much, and he was very happy, and immediately strode to the 10,000 surrendered troops, and said loudly: "Soldiers, General Shi not only has the ultimate martial arts strength, but also the genius of leading the army, and treats people with benevolence and generosity. ”

"If you can trust Yin's vision, please join General Shi's Songhu Army with Yin and follow General Shi to create a great cause. If you don't want to join, General Shi has already said that you can leave safely from the east gate, and General Shi's people will never harm you. ”

Three or four thousand of the 10,000 troops were originally drawn from the North Gate garrison by Yin Qi, and they were very loyal to Yin Qi, and since Yin Qi was determined to join the Songhu Army, most of them were willing to follow.

Among the remaining six or seven thousand people, many of them were impressed by Shi Ziling's superb martial arts skills and the powerful attack power of the special attack division, and Yin Qi, who knew that Dao Yin Qi was good and trustworthy, also expressed their willingness to join.

Some other people heard that they could get out of the east gate, and they thought it was also very good, and immediately expressed their desire to exit Mijing City.

In the end, a total of about 6,000 people were willing to follow Yin Qi to join the Songhu Legion, and the remaining 4,000 or so decided to quit Mijing City and find another way.

Yin Qi told Shi Ziling that there were more than 30,000 reinforcements who had been put together to rush to the east gate to rescue, and in addition to the 20,000 horses led by Yin Qi, more than 10,000 people were led by He Qing, another garrison in the city, who was rushing to the east gate from another road.

Shi Ziling inquired in detail about the strength of the people and horses in that way, and learned that the people and horses in that road were mainly the auxiliary defense forces in the city, and their combat strength was mediocre, and there were not many martial arts masters among them.

He expected that with the strength of Wei Song's 5,000 special attack division, coupled with the two important hostages of Li Yan and Meng Degang, the garrison, he would definitely be able to calmly deal with the reinforcements that were mainly the auxiliary defense army. Even if there is a mistake, there are still 5,000 special attack divisions of Weihu stationed at the east gate, which should be foolproof.

Shi Ziling said to Yin Qi: "General Yin, since the number of the auxiliary defense army on that road is not large, and the combat strength is also very average, we will not go over to help." The top priority at the moment was to block the gateway road from Mijing City to the north as soon as possible, firstly, to prevent the defeated army in the city from joining up with Li Yuan's army, and secondly, to delay the time when Li Yuan's side could get the news of the loss of Mijing Castle as much as possible. ”

Yin Qi said: "General Shi, please rest assured, I am responsible for guarding the north gate every day, and after hearing that there was an accident in the city, I have ordered the city gate to be closed." The garrison there is loyal to me, and the average person would not want to pass through it without my orders. ”

"Now that the main generals and officials in the city have been captured by General Shi, and the north gate has been closed by me, I think that the remaining stragglers will not be able to escape even if they want to leave for a while. ”
