Chapter 854, the judge came to surrender

Han Qi nodded first and said, "This is the condition of the villain." If His Majesty refuses, the villain will have to apologize. ”

Ye Yu Guanyin said: "If you don't put forward this request, our Ming Army will do the same!" Hmph, what kind of hero is killing and abusing the people! Yang Peng said with a smile: "More importantly, since the city has been taken by our army, then the people in the city are all the people of the Ming Dynasty!" The Ming army will only protect its own people, how can it kill and plunder them! I can promise you this condition without reservation! ”

Han Qi was very happy to see the other party so refreshing, and bowed: "The villain thanks Your Majesty for the fathers and villagers of the whole city!" Then he said: "The villain's plan is actually very simple, that is, ask Your Majesty to send people to write many letters that incite the people in the city to open the door and surrender, and then send cavalry to shoot these letters into the city." ”

Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at each other, and Yang Peng smiled: "This is your clever plan?" ”

Han Qi saw that Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin were both disapproving, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty may not know something. The common people have been persecuted by the tyranny of the Liao court! If nothing else, let's just talk about the order issued by the imperial court recently to collect money and grain from the people. Hmph, where is the collection of money and food, it is clearly to rob the people! The officials and soldiers broke into the people's homes, snatched food, robbed money, and were beaten and kicked at all, and many people were hacked and killed on the spot by the officials and officials because of their resistance! Alas, in just a few days, the number of people who died in Dading Mansion alone was one or two hundred! ”

Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at each other, both of them were a little surprised, they didn't expect the Liao Imperial Court to do this. Immediately, I also understood why the Liao court had money and grain to mobilize the army.

The more Han Qixian said, the more angry he became, "If all this money and grain goes into the official treasury, it will be fine, but most of the money and grain have fallen into the pockets of officials in various places, and only a small part has entered the official treasury." After this catastrophe, although everyone was silent, the anger in their hearts was self-evident. As long as there is a chance, this anger will definitely erupt like a volcano, and it will destroy the Liao State government! Although the villain's strategy is simple, when the opportunity is right, it will definitely be able to work wonders! After speaking, he looked at Yang Peng, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

Yang Peng thought for a moment, and said to Han Qixian: "You can try this method." ”

Seeing that Yang Peng agreed, Han Qi was overjoyed, and immediately bowed: "In this way, the people can get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible!" ”

Yang Peng said: "You go down and rest." "South Korean enterprises bowed down first. Yang Peng said to Li Lang: "Wait for Mr. Han to go down and rest." Li Lang replied and led Han Qi down first.

After the two left, Ya Yu Guanyin asked, "Big brother believes in him?" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "We won't say whether this person really came to join us, but his proposal can be tried." ”

Ya Yu Guanyin smiled: "If it is a trap planned by me, tomorrow as soon as the arrow book goes, it will not be long before I will order someone to disguise himself as a civilian army and open the city gate to let our army in." Once our army enters the urn city, it will immediately close the front and rear iron gates, that is, the ambush soldiers are out in all directions, and the soldiers and horses in the urn city are no matter how brave they are, they have become turtles in the cage! Yang Peng smiled: "That's called the turtle in the urn!" Ya Kannon raised her eyebrows, "That's what it means anyway." Big brother, if someone really opens the city gate tomorrow, it's really hard to tell whether it's true or not! ”

Yang Peng pondered and asked, "That Ahadan has such wisdom?" Ya Yu Guanyin said: "When I was the eldest princess, the person Ahadan was only a commander of a thousand people, I had only heard of this person, but I had never seen him, so I couldn't tell if he had such wisdom." However, according to rumors, this person has a violent personality and should not be a very resourceful person. ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, let's take this risk!" Ye Yu Guanyin nodded and said, "You have to watch that Han Qi first, if it is really a trap, kill him first!" Yang Peng smiled.

Early the next morning, the sound of the Ming war drums dispersed the early morning mist, and more than 200,000 troops approached the city. Ahadan hurriedly climbed the city wall and ordered all the armies to defend it strictly, and the officers and men of all armies, especially the civilian army, couldn't help but panic when they saw the prosperity of the Ming army outside the city.

The sound of war drums stopped, and immediately hundreds of war horses galloped out, rushed to the city wall, bent their bows and arrows into hundreds of arrow books, and then rushed back to the army formation.

The soldiers of the march saw countless archery skills flying in, and they all scrambled, and there was chaos up and down the city wall. Someone read aloud: "The Liao court cruelly abused the people, regardless of the life and death of the people, my Ming army hanged the people and cut down the crime, and came to rescue the people from the dire situation, and since then become the people of the Ming Dynasty, each household will get five acres of fertile land for free, and never have to pay field tax." Wait for the people to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible to save themselves. ”

These words spread among the people in the Khitan army, and the people were uproaring. When Ahadan learned of the situation, he was furious, and immediately ordered the book of arrows to be confiscated, and ordered the officers and soldiers and the civilian army who spread the rumors to be arrested, and all of them were put on the city's head formation. Ahadan raised his voice again: "What the Ming Army said is a lie!" They lied to you! Our hundreds of thousands of reinforcements are coming, if you choose to join the enemy, once the army arrives, you and your family will be cut by a thousand knives! The people were so frightened that they didn't dare to think about the five acres of fertile land and the non-payment of taxes.

After Yang Peng and the others saw the arrow book entering, there was a great commotion in the city for a while, and then they quieted down and couldn't help but look at each other.

Xiao Yebula frowned and said, "It's useless at all!" ”

Ya Yan Guanyin said: "It's not useless, it should have some effect, it's just that Ahadan is a little more powerful than we expected, and he actually calmed down the commotion in such a short time." Looking at Yang Peng, "But we are sure of one thing." Yang Peng knew that she was talking about Han Qixian, although today's events did not develop as expected, but it proved that Han Qixian should not be a spy, and should really come to surrender.

Yang Peng said to Yebule: "Let's attack the city." ”

Xiao Yebule's eyes lit up, and he promised loudly, and then ordered the army to attack the city.

The Khitan army-style war drums and horns sounded loudly, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured towards the city like a tide. In an instant, arrows and shells flew in the sky, and the siege battle began! A great battle lasted all day, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and although the attacking troops attacked the city many times, they failed to gain a firm foothold and were driven down by the other side. In the evening, the Ming army Mingjin withdrew its troops, and the Khitan soldiers and people on the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ahadan returned to the hall of the government office to rest. Immediately, a subordinate general rushed in and reported: "General, the casualties have been counted, our army has suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but the large warehouse that leaned into the southern city wall was burned by the opponent's flame bombs, and countless grains, grass, baggage, and ordnance armor were lost!" ”

Ahadan was furious and asked, "Knowing that the enemy army is coming south, how can you still put grain, grass, baggage, and armor in the southern warehouse!" ”

The general was depressed: 'You didn't even think of it, how could we think of it!' Thinking like this, he didn't dare to say this, but said: "The enemy is coming too fast, and there is no time to transfer supplies!" ”

Ahadan was depressed, and then thought that there were several other large warehouses, and the grain and grass reserves were enough for 80,000 horses and horses for half a year, so there was no need to worry too much. Then I thought, the city of Dadingfu is strong and tall, and the Ming army attacked for a whole day today, and the loss of troops did not take any advantage! From this point of view, there will be no problem with sticking to it for ten days! As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel better, and said to his generals: "You must be careful to guard. I'm going to rest in the back, and I'll report to me right away! The general bowed down to promise, and when he saw Ahadan turn to the back, he said depressedly: "You go to enjoy the beauty in your arms, but you want us to work all night, it's really hateful!" Thinking so in his heart, he dared to disobey the military order, and quickly turned around and ran out of the hall.

In the big tent of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Yebule said depressedly: "Our army has lost more than 3,000 people, but it has not made much progress. This Dadingfu city is tall and strong, if there is no cannon, it will not be easy to capture him! The Admiral thinks he should wait for the artillery to come up before attacking! ”

Yang Peng looked at the sand table in front of him and said, "The cannon moves slowly, and it will take at least half a month to get here." However, I estimate that the enemy's reinforcements from Shangjing Road and Tokyo Road will arrive here in ten days at the earliest. If Dadingfu cannot be taken before then, then the war will turn into a stalemate. ”

Everyone glanced at each other and felt that what His Majesty said was certainly reasonable, but without artillery, it was not easy to break through a fortified city like Dadingfu in ten days. Taking a step back, even if it can be captured, I am afraid that our own side will pay a heavy price. At that time, I was exhausted, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to win in the face of the new force of the Khitan Kingdom!

At this moment, Li Lang rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, that Han Qi has come to see Your Majesty again!" Wei Zhaode scolded angrily: "The strategy he offered is useless, what are you doing!" ”

Yang Peng said to Li Lang: "Let him come in." Li Lang answered, ran down, and after a while, he led the Korean enterprise to come first. As soon as Han Qi saw Yang Peng and the generals, he immediately bowed; "I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen all the generals!"

Li Xu said angrily: "What bad idea do you have again?" ”

Han Qixian hurriedly said: "I have another plan to break the Dading Mansion!" As soon as these words came out, all the generals couldn't help but scold, especially Xiao Yebule. Han Qixian was unhurried, and when everyone finished scolding, he slowly explained his strategy.

As soon as the sky was dawning, Ahadan, who was sleeping sweetly with two naked beauties in his arms, was awakened by the sudden sound of war drums. The two beauties also woke up, and they looked overwhelmed.

Ahadan cursed as he put on his shirt and armor and ran out of the bedroom. As soon as he went out, a general rushed to meet him and hurriedly reported: "General, the enemy is attacking the city again!" Ahadan said angrily: "What are you panicking about! Then he hurried towards the southern wall.

When I came to the city wall, thousands of soldiers and militiamen were already lined up on the city wall to prepare for battle, and they were not as panicked as yesterday.

Ahadan looked out of the city and saw the Ming army slowly approaching like a sea and a tide. When I saw such a scene yesterday, I couldn't help but feel panic in my heart, but today I don't feel much more.

The Ming army stopped three hundred paces away, and then a Ming warrior led a group of cavalry and hugged a man in civilian clothes who looked like a common man to a place only fifty steps away from the city wall and stopped. The Liao soldiers and the people on the city wall did not recognize that the Ming warrior was actually Emperor Yanyun, but they recognized the man who looked like a common man, and there was a commotion on the city, and many people shouted: "Isn't that the judge Lord Han?" "It turned out that the man who was escorted by Yang Peng was none other than Han Qixian, the judge of Dading Mansion.

Han Qixian stood on horseback and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Han Qixian." You should know that because I said a few words of justice for the people, I was sent to a cell by the government to await trial, and my life was almost lost! ……”

Ahadan felt that Han Qixian would definitely not be able to say anything good, so he immediately ordered his generals to shoot him. The general answered, took out the hard bow, mounted the arrow, and opened the bow to aim.

But at this moment, everyone only heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, and before the wind could catch it, the general who was about to shoot Han Qixian fell backwards to the ground with a scream! When everyone looked at it, they saw that a wolf's tooth arrow had penetrated his throat, and they couldn't help but look horrified. Immediately, everyone looked at the great Ming warrior outside the city who was holding a hard bow, and his face was full of fear.

Han Qixian couldn't help but be greatly excited when he saw His Majesty shoot the Khitan general who tried to plot against him with an arrow, so he continued to raise his voice: "Folks, the Liao Imperial Court doesn't treat us as human beings at all, but only slaughters us as pigs, horses, cattle and sheep at will!" Not long ago, the government robbed us of our money and food, regardless of our life and death, and was brutally killed on the spot at the slightest objection, and how many fathers and villagers died tragically because of this! When the people heard these words, the fire of resentment in their hearts could not help but surge into their hearts, and the experience of not long ago was vivid, and infinite hatred was churning and stirring in their hearts.

Ahadan hurriedly said to the generals beside him: "Immediately order the crossbowmen to release their arrows!" The general promised to go down even if the order was given.

Han Qi first stepped forward along the city wall, and couldn't help but feel frightened and stopped talking.

Yang Peng said calmly: "You just have to say, don't worry about other things!" So saying, he took out four wolf's tooth arrows from his quiver, clasped them between his fingers, and bent his bow to tie the arrows, and the bow opened the full moon. Immediately, Yang Peng let go of his five fingers, only to hear a loud whining, and five sharp arrows flew out. There was an exclamation from the top of the city, and almost at the same time, the leader of the crossbowmen, along with the other three officers and soldiers, fell to the ground at the same time! Yang Peng did not stop, and continued to fire four arrows in a volley, and in just a moment, more than two dozen officers and soldiers with crossbowmen were shot down by him on the city wall. The Khitan army was terrified, and everyone shrank their heads behind the wall battlements, how dare they show half of their heads! Although everyone in the people's army was also shocked, they also felt excited, and they only felt that the general had taken a bad breath for themselves.

Han Qixian saw Yang Peng's arrows intimidating the army, and couldn't help but admire and be excited, and immediately continued to say loudly: "Fellow villagers, if you are ruled by the Liao court again, sooner or later everyone will die without a place to bury." Why don't you take refuge in Daming early! ”

Ahadan was anxious, pushed the general next to him, and shouted, "Go and shoot that nonsense guy!" The general cursed in his stomach, still hiding behind the wall, and said: "My subordinate has poor archery skills, it is impossible to shoot him!" The general's archery skills are excellent, so let's do it himself, so as not to miss the enemy's shooting at the end of the general's errand! Other ministries will chimed in. At this moment, all the generals were afraid of being forced by Ahadan to face that terrible Ming general, so they involuntarily formed a united front. When Ahadan saw the words of the generals, he couldn't help but be annoyed, glared and scolded: "You bunch of waste! The generals just kept silent, and made up their minds not to go out anyway.

Han Qixian's voice continued to come up: "I can assure the villagers that His Majesty Daming is wise and benevolent and loves the people very much, as long as he becomes a citizen of Daming, everyone's net worth and life will be guaranteed." In addition, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, all the people of the Ming Dynasty, each family will unconditionally get five acres of fertile land, and exempt from paying agricultural taxes, the Ming Dynasty is really loving the people, folks, don't hesitate! Don't you know who I am first, what I said is true! ”

Korean companies first said one after another. But there was no movement in the city. Suddenly, the city gate opened, and Han Qixian hurriedly looked towards the city gate, but saw Ahadan leading hundreds of cavalry rushing out, and couldn't help but be taken aback. Ahadan couldn't let Han Qixian continue, the crossbowmen didn't dare to show their heads, and their subordinates passed the buck to each other, Ahadan had no choice but to lead hundreds of cavalry to rush out, in his past, no matter how good the archery skills of the Ming warrior were, it was impossible to kill hundreds of his own people in one go.

Yang Peng ordered the cavalry beside him: "Take Mr. Han down!" Then he put down the cloud-piercing bow, lifted the iron horse, rode alone, and crashed into the enemy army like a black dragon galloping. In an instant, I saw the Khitan soldiers turning over on their backs, and none of the hundreds of people were his generals!

Just as Ahadan was shocked, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in a hurry. Ahadan hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw the eldest princess in a beautiful military costume leading hundreds of war horses rushing forward, and in an instant, he saw like flying locusts, and the Khitan cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that it was not the road, Ahadan hurriedly turned his horse's head and led the remnants of the defeated army back to the city.

Ye Yu Guanyin followed Yang Peng, the two looked at each other and smiled, and returned to the military formation.

Li Xu came up and said, "Big brother, his shouting still didn't have any effect!" Han Qixian said ashamedly: "I didn't expect it to be like this, please Your Majesty to condemn it!" ”

Yang Peng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Any strategy may succeed, of course, it may also fail, why blame yourself!" Since the tricks are useless, then I have to do it with real knives! When Han Qi heard this first, he only felt a wave of pride surging into his heart.

Yang Peng ordered the generals: "Attack from three sides, east, west and south!" The generals clenched their fists and promised.

Immediately, the drums of the Ming Dynasty sounded earth-shatteringly, and the army was scattered in the east, west, and south, but the city was stormed, and this time it was not only the army under Xiao Yebule who surrendered to Cheng participated in the attack, but the second army of the Ming Dynasty also entered the battle. The offensive was fierce and intense, and the defenders of the city immediately felt extremely heavy pressure. Ahadan ran around shouting, urging his soldiers to resist desperately.

Fierce fighting lasted from morning to noon, and from noon to dusk. The offensive of the Ming army continued unabated, and the Khitan army did its best to resist it with the help of the fortified city.

Yang Peng immediately watched the battle from a distance, his brows furrowed, and the Ya Yu Guanyin next to him said: "The city is tall and strong, and it is not something that the bravery of the soldiers can overcome!" Yang Peng couldn't help but nodded, seeing that his momentum had declined, and if he continued to fight, it would only increase casualties, so he was ready to order the troops to be withdrawn.

Just then, the gates of the city suddenly opened. The cavalry, who were vigilant about the enemy's surprise attack out of the city, thought that the enemy was going to attack out of the city, and immediately prepared to intercept. But what was found was a group of people with weapons in hand, standing at the door and shouting loudly to beckon the Ming army to enter the city. The generals immediately looked at Yang Peng, Yang Peng hesitated slightly, and immediately ordered: "Wei Zhaode led the war cavalry into the city, and the army entered later!" The herald immediately raised the flag. Wei Zhaode, who led the war cavalry guard in the front, immediately led his five thousand war cavalry to rush towards the city gate, and the large army also began to move.

Five thousand war cavalry poured into the city gate, passed through the urn city, and saw thousands of civilian troops fighting with the Khitan army, and immediately waved the army into the middle of the Khitan army. The horses' hooves trampled, swords and guns slashed, only to see the corpses of the Khitan soldiers accumulating blood flying, and in an instant, the Khitan army that was fighting with the people's army near the city gate was rushed to pieces. Immediately afterwards, the Ming army entered the city and overflowed into the streets and alleys. The soldiers of the Khitan army were already in a hurry by the sudden rebellion of the people's army, where could they resist the onslaught of the Ming army, and in an instant, they saw that the flag was chaotic and the army was defeated like a mountain! Seeing that the situation was chaotic, Ahadan tried to resist, but was forcibly dragged away by his own soldiers.

More than 10,000 remnants of the Khitan army were defeated and fled from the North City Gate. However, not long after leaving the city, he was ambushed by 20,000 foot cavalry, only to see that the mountains were full of fierce Ming troops, and the Khitan army was fleeing in all directions with heavy casualties. Ahadan escaped this disaster again, and found that there were only a few hundred soldiers left around him. Ahadan wanted to cry without tears, and did not dare to take a break, leading these hundreds of remnants of the defeated army to run all the way north.

Yang Peng occupied the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing of the Liao State in one fell swoop, and immediately sent people to announce that the people in the city would allocate land to all the people as soon as the battle was over, and at the same time told the people that Han Qixian had been appointed as the prefect of Dading Mansion. When the people saw that the Ming army was disciplined and promised to be consistent with what Han Qixian had said before, they couldn't help but rejoice and shouted long live.

Yang Peng, accompanied by everyone, came to the main hall of the Royal Palace of Dading Mansion, and when he saw the golden brilliance on the main hall, he couldn't help but sigh: "This palace is much more luxurious than my palace!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
