Chapter 294, Surrender

The snowflakes that burst into the sky, and the flames that had not yet burned out at the city gates, three hundred cavalry, stepping on the snow, rushed out of the sea of fire.

It's as if they're from the underworld.

"Run!"

"It's Qingjun, it's Qingjun!"

"Run!"

"The city is broken!"

In the silence of the night, the Yellow Dry City is not destined to be peaceful tonight.

The fleeing Yan soldiers fled in all directions in the city, and the rumors were like wings.

With the shouts of fleeing and shouting that the Qing army came in, the entire Yellow Dry City was completely chaotic.

The people did not dare to go out, but only looked for a place to hide in their small homes.

The fleeing soldiers fled stupidly towards the barracks and other city gates.

Those who are wiser go into the homes of the people and hide.

There are also some ruthless ones, who directly kill the people, and then replace the clothes of both sides, waiting for the overall situation to be decided, and exchange the corpses of these "Yan soldiers" for the opportunity to surrender.

Before Li Chengjing and the others even had time to show their butcher knives to the Yellow Dry City, the entire Yellow Dry City had already begun to be in chaos.

Guan Zhong, Guan Yong and others, looking at the scattered Yan soldiers who fled, and those houses with very different styles from Daqing, had a crazy smile on their faces.

In their lives, they never imagined that only 300 cavalry would be able to lay down a city without wasting a single soldier.

Of course, it's too early to say that you'll build a city.

But it doesn't prevent them from being like a rainbow now.

Li Chengjing didn't stop at all, and wherever he passed, the long knife was as fast as the wind.

One by one, the heads moved.

A headless corpse stiffened on both sides, and the column of blood that rose to the sky spurted out three feet high, and then the blood rushed to the sky, and when it fell, it was already cold rain.

Mo Zhi Gesang followed closely behind the cavalry, looking at the scene in front of him, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and his mouth and tongue were numb.

He had never seen such a horrific scene.

But this unique spectacle of death, too, did not last long.

The cavalry that followed closely behind Li Chengjing directly knocked these headless corpses into the air, and under the trampling of the horses, even if they were wearing armor, they were still quickly trampled into puddles of mud.

Until this moment, Mozhigesang no longer had any thoughts of rebellion.

Becoming such a god-killing enemy is the most stupid decision.

"Warriors, it's time for us to show loyalty and courage!"

Although he was far behind the Daqing cavalry, Mo Rigesang still shouted.

Steppe nomads are born warriors, they fear death, and at the same time enjoy it.

At this moment, they seemed to have regained the glory of belonging to the steppe warriors.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

This night, there is no nonsense, only killing!

The cavalry of three hundred people was quickly divided into three teams, and they killed anyone they saw along the way, whether the other party was a soldier of the Yan Kingdom or the people of the Yan Kingdom who had escaped.

Before this war stops, everyone who appears in front of you is an enemy.

On the battlefield, morality stinks worse than dung, and benevolence is a knife to one's neck.

In the dark Yellow Dry City, fireworks will rise into the sky from time to time, which is used by Daqing soldiers to convey news.

Mozhigesang, who had long been separated from the cavalry, did not panic at all.

Nowadays, there is no one in the Yellow Dry City who still has such a thing as courage.

Watching the fireworks in the sky closely, and constantly following them, Mori Gesang led the warriors of the Gesang tribe to slaughter the fish that slipped through the net.

Suddenly, a man dressed as a steppe nomad shouted at Mozhigesang: "You are a steppe person, why do you show a butcher's knife to your brothers and siblings!" ”

The people of the Gesang tribe were all stunned.

And Mozhi Gesang laughed and said: "On the grassland, there is no day when there is no fratricide. The steppe people are the wolves of the steppe, and since you are not part of our wolf pack, then you are the enemy. ”

After saying that, Mo Rigesang split half of the man's neck with a single sword.

The warriors of the other Gesang tribes let out strange screams.

With the characterization of the patriarch, they no longer have any scruples.

Killed all the way in the past, there are the Central Plains people of Yan Country, the grassland people of Yan Country, and the desert people.

Some of them begged, and some of them scolded.

But none of them could make the knives of Mozhi Gesang and others a little slower.

Under the feast of killing, they got the satisfaction that they had never received in their lives.

The feeling of killing and manipulating human life is like poisonous honey, even if it is fatal, it makes them intoxicated.

Li Chengjing did not enter the county government at the beginning, he just put Torre outside the county office to prevent the people inside from escaping.

Then he led the cavalry around the city, and by the way, he completely knocked down several other city gates.

Compared to the deserters in the city who had already lost their souls, the other three gates did have some resistance, but not much.

In a small county town with a scale of 10,000 people like this, the regular garrison will only be a few hundred, and at most there will be no more than a thousand.

Compared with Qingguo, Yan controlled the grasslands and deserts, and the cities here were too far away from the border of Qingguo, and the garrison was more to prevent the rebellion of the grasslands and desert people, rather than to resist the attacks of Qingguo.

There will not be too many troops naturally stationed.

Before dawn, Li Chengjing could announce that Huangkucheng had been completely captured.

When Li Chengjing came to the gate of the Huangkucheng County Yamen with dozens of horses, he saw Torrey grinning at the county Ya, but he didn't dare to approach.

The county government is blessed by the mandate of heaven, and something like Torrey, which is full of malice and hostility towards the county government, will be injured by the mandate of heaven as soon as it gets close.

On the contrary, ordinary people are not affected.

Seeing Li Chengjing coming, Torre pointed to the county government and then to himself.

Li Chengjing naturally understood what he wanted to express and motioned for him to step back.

Behind the door, it seemed that it was already full of people, and seeing Li Chengjing coming, the gate of the county government slowly opened.

An emaciated magistrate wearing a county official uniform that was almost no different from Qingguo's, with a goatee, walked out with the officials, and knelt down outside the county yamen.

Li Chengjing turned over and dismounted, and walked to the gate of the county government.

As soon as he got closer, Li Chengjing found that there seemed to be a kind of calamity swimming in the dark, but it seemed that he couldn't find Li Chengjing, and he was always wandering, but like a headless fly.

"This is the blessing of destiny!"

Li Chengjing didn't say a word, and with a volley, he directly split the plaque of the county government in half, and then two more, smashing the stone lions on both sides.

Torre looked up, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

When the plaque and the stone lion were destroyed, the aura of calamity dissipated in an instant, and Torre knew that there was nothing to stop him from entering the county office.

The magistrate saw that Li Chengjing came up with three knives, and he trembled with fright.

"Yan Guo Huang Kuzhi County, Wang Baichuan meets the general!"

Li Chengjing took off his helmet and asked with a smile: "County honor, please get up, recruit officials in Xiaqing Guoyi City, Li Changming!" ”

When Wang Baichuan heard this, his face showed a trace of confusion, recruiting officials?

When will recruits be able to lead the army?

Wang Baichuan is no stranger to Qingguo's official system, although Yanguo did not set up such an official position as recruiting officials, but he knew that Qingguo had specially set up this very unique official position.

However, Wang Baichuan couldn't figure it out, wasn't the recruiter responsible for the errand of catching demons and ghosts? When did you become a general in the army?

But now it's redundant to think about it.

Li Chengjing said politely, but he didn't dare to be polite.

"On behalf of the people of Huangkucheng, Wang Baichuan surrendered to General Li Changming, the official of Qingguo, this is the great seal of the magistrate of Huangkucheng, and I beg the general to stop the soldiers, and never affect the people of Huangkucheng."

As he spoke, Wang Baichuan held a beautifully made rosewood box in both hands.

Li Chengjing knew that this was the great seal of the county.

Let the person next to him take it, Li Chengjing said lightly: "This official is approved!" ”

After speaking, Li Chengjing helped Wang Baichuan up with a smile and said, "Soldiers, the country's major affairs are also." It is not what we scholars want, and I have no grudges with the county and the people of Huangkucheng, but they are forced by the general trend, and I have no choice but to do it. Now that the county respect's representative of the people of Huangkucheng has surrendered, the official and his soldiers will naturally not stretch out the butcher's knife to their own people, and the county honor can rest assured. ”

Wang Baichuan was overjoyed, bowed down, and said, "Thank you, General!" ”

Li Chengjing nodded and said: "Now that the war is settled, it is important to appease the people's hearts and let the people return to normal life. I am the vanguard of this Eastern Expedition, the large army is rectifying the defense of Qingyuan City, and now there is a shortage of manpower, and the county also needs to mobilize the people in the city to rebuild their homes together! ”

"What, Qingyuan City is broken!" Wang Baichuan was shocked.

immediately realized that it was not good to do this, and hurriedly said: "The Daqing army is as majestic as a dragon, and the lower officials only feel that it is not a loss to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains." ”

Li Chengjing was noncommittal, anyway, now that the heavy snow is closing the road, Wang Baichuan can't be sure of the news Li Chengjing said at all.

"Last night's fighting, too many people died, although it is still winter, but in order to prevent the breeding of plague, I also ask the county to mobilize the people in the city, collect the corpses in the city, and bury them properly."

"Don't worry, the general will do it, and he will definitely not let the general bother about this matter."

Li Chengjing patted Wang Baichuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are a smart person, I am very satisfied!" I will personally choose a suitable place to bury the dead, and you can go and collect the body first! ”

With that, Li Chengjing walked straight into the county office.

When he saw the monster-like Torre walk in, the surrounding officials shuddered.

Sitting in the lobby, Li Chengjing looked around and said to himself: "Actually, it feels the same!" ”

Torre didn't know why.

After lunch, Guan Yong and Mo Rigesang also rushed over.

"Master Zhaoguan, the defense of the city gate has been arranged."

"The broken gates have been repaired!"

……

After listening to Guan Yong's military affairs, Mo Ri Gesang felt as if he was about to say something, so he said: "My lord, Mo Ri Gesang wants to lead his people to submit to you forever, and is willing to be your most loyal servant for generations!" ”

Li Chengjing smiled and said, "Aren't you already already?" ”

Mozhi Gesang was overjoyed when he heard this.

At this time, Wang Baichuan walked in, saluted respectfully, and said, "General, the corpses have been collected, a total of 1,327 corpses!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
