Until the sun went down, the drums did not approach again, but became farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared. Zhai Ling sat down weakly: Zheng Guo's reinforcements were also defeated! And from Ye Peng's tone, it could be heard that attacking Yang Zhai and Zheng Mi was a continuous operation that had been planned a long time ago, rather than two independent engagements. He felt that he had fallen into a trap that the Qin people had dug a long time ago, and he still didn't know how this trap was dug!

The night was not peaceful, with people and horses constantly passing by, and judging by the footsteps, it should have been the movement of a large number of troops. Zhai Ling thought that it was none of his business, so he lay down and closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep. If you want to understand the situation, you can't start. Tossing and turning, spent a long night. Until the snare drum sounded again, the sound of the movement of the men and horses still did not completely stop.

After breakfast, Ye Peng sent someone to invite Zhai Ling again. This time, Zhai Ling was not blindfolded, and was directly taken to the city of Yangcheng. There was a large group of people there, each looking like they were wearing crowns, and they were doctors at all levels of the Qin army. Ye Peng stood at the forefront of this group of doctors, obviously with a high status; There were two other people standing with Ye Peng, and Ye Peng introduced: "It's the general, it's the south county Weifeng!" ”

Zhai Ling bowed and said: "The general of the defeated army, I dare not see the general again!" ”

Wei Wei said: "The defeat of the king is not a crime of war." Yang Zhai Shou abandoned the army and fled, so there was this defeat! ”

When Zhai Ling heard this, he trembled, and only now did he know the cause of his defeat. It turned out that he had always thought that Yang Zhai Shou could not resist the attack of the Qin army, so he was defeated. Now it seems that Yang Zhai Shou did not resist at all and let the Qin army go.

As if sensing Zhai Ling's emotional changes, Ye Peng comforted: "Zhai Wei is not alarmed in the chaos, and he rushes bravely, and General Gai Liang is also." The three of them returned the salute together, and Zhai Ling stood up.

Wei Ji didn't say anything more, and said directly: "I will destroy the reinforcements and take out Yang City." Wen Wei knows the truth of Yang City, and he consults it! ”

Wei Yi's direct question shook Zhai Ling's mind: What's going on, if you want to fight Yangcheng, ask me what to do? Can I know what to do? He saluted and said, "This is not something that the minister can know!" ”

Wei Yan said: "Yangcheng is adjacent to Yangzhai, and Wei Yan is ignorant!" ”

Zhai Ling said: "All ministers know, but there are disadvantages, all of them are corrected, and there is no gap." ”

Wei Wei said: "A few days ago, there were many Korean troops. All of them are in the forefront, for Qin Xiandeng. Gai Yuanwei pointed to the way to go first, so as to reduce casualties. ”

Zhai Ling said: "If Yangcheng is broken, how many people will die?" ”

Wei Wei said: "Yangcheng will be broken, but in the casualties!" ”

Zhai Ling said: "Qin Dan counts the rank as meritorious, why didn't he behead Han, but thought he was the first?" ”

Wei Ji said: "The Qin people are beheaded, and the Chu people are driven to take it first." The place is different, and the customs are easy. Today, with the Chu people as an army, it is the practice of Chu law! ”

Zhai Ling said: "The minister is willing to enter the city, saying that Yangcheng is coming to vote, and the general will forgive the people of the city!" ”

Wei said: "Why do you say that? ”

Zhai Ling said: "Yangcheng guards, and the ministers know it." The heart is weak and timid, so that he can speak loudly. If the minister enters, he will come out. ”

Wei Ji said: "If you don't slaughter the city, how can you make a contribution?" ”

Ye Peng said: "Let his pawn be the first!" ”

Wei Feng said: "Send its people to think it is lucky!" ”

Wei Yu said: "Wei Qi knows? If you get what he says, you can enter the city immediately, and I will also prepare the siege equipment outside. If there is no news for three days, I will attack it. ”

Zhai Ling said: "May it be five days!" ”

Wei Wei said: "To descend or not to surrender, one word can be decided, what can the person who delays?" ”

Ye Peng said: "You can choose your own followers among the retainers. "Send someone to lead Zhai Ling to the place where Zhai Ling's retainers and guards are held.

Doctors Qin continued to observe the situation in Yangcheng and discuss offensive strategies.

Yangcheng was built on a platform on the north bank of Yingshui. The south city wall is close to Yingshui, and on the bank of Yingshui in the south of the city, there is also a cast iron workshop, which mainly produces agricultural tools needed for Yangcheng, and repairs some simple weapons. The southern city was covered by a large river and was excluded first. The west and north walls were built on a hill, and outside the walls there were moats six paces wide, all filled with water. Beyond the eastern walls is a stream, and further east is a wasteland. The walls on both sides of the northwest are built on hills, making the already tall walls even more unattainable, not to mention the moat under the walls.

The current deployment of the Qin army is: the Nanyang army is stationed in the south of Yingshui, cutting off the connection between Yangcheng and Yangzhai; The Nanjun army was stationed next to the river valley east of the plateau to cut off the connection between Yangcheng and Zheng and Mi; The Guanzhong Army is in between, ready to respond. The armies generally lived according to their villages. The plateau in the north and south of Yingshui has a large area of arable land, which is the foundation of Yangcheng and provides manpower and food for Yangcheng.

Before the arrival of the Qin army, the people in the countryside moved to the city. The area of Yangcheng City is very large, far more than a mile square, and the surrounding farmers can move in with their families. Therefore, in the countryside outside Yangcheng, only the empty houses and the old people who take care of the house, young adults and children have entered the city. However, the stored grain and other supplies did not have time to be fully transported into the city, and the Qin army was able to obtain supplies from outside the city, including setting up a warm pavilion. Therefore, the garrison conditions of the Nanyang Army are the best.

There is a small stream to the east of Yangcheng. It can also irrigate some cultivated land, but the amount of water is not large, there are not many people cultivating here, there are almost no Yili, and the Qin army is not stationed here, and the station of the Nanjun army is ten miles away.

Everyone circled the city and returned to the big tent of Wei Ji. Wei Ji pointed to the empty wilderness in the east of the city, and said: "From here, the soldiers climbed into the city from the distance and shot the city. Nanjun fought in the river valley yesterday and won a lot. Now when the big city is restored, it will be restored! He also said to Ye Peng: "You should also attack the southern city to divide its strength." The city was broken, and the Guanzhong army entered immediately. ”

All the doctors saluted and retreated. Ye Peng said to Wei Feng: "Zhai Wei has entered the city, and he must also expect him to surrender." ”

Wei Feng said: "I captured thousands of Han soldiers, ordered the distance from the trench, and drove them to the city, all of which were restrained." ”

Ye Peng said: "The grain outside the city will be exhausted, and it will be three months away from the city, and then it will be, I am afraid that it will not be in time!" ”

Wei Feng said: "Yangcheng is strong, and there is no distance from the trench. ”

The next day, Wei Feng ordered the Nanjun soldiers to approach Yangcheng Wuli to camp. He lined up 10,000 troops in front, and the rest of the troops and the captured Han soldiers set up a fence behind him. The Guanzhong army also went out to the city to support the Nanjun soldiers in the battle, but did not move the camp. For a whole day, the defenders of Yangcheng had no intention of coming out to harass.

At night, the Namgun Army only put the captured Korean troops in the first barracks and withdrew all of them. Seeing the opportunity, the captured Han soldiers fled to the city of Yang, shouting to the city that they were Zheng Guo's Han soldiers, fleeing back, and begging to be allowed to enter the city.

The soldiers defending the city sent all those who fled back to the city to the city and sent them to the Shangguan for interrogation. Soon, everyone's confessions were sent to Yangchengshou, and it turned out that the first line of the Qin army's camp gate was all filled by the captured Han army, and the Nanjun army was still in the camp gate behind.

The Yangcheng guard had already received Zhai Ling, and Zhai Ling persuaded him to open the city and surrender to avoid the people being poisoned. Yangcheng Shouyu hesitated, feeling that the Qin army just wanted to get food outside the city, and would not seriously attack the city, as long as he held out for a few days, the Qin army would retreat on its own. Zhai Ling said: "He wants to get food, but Juyang Zhai can also." The grain of Yang Zhai is ten times that of Yang Cheng. Those who abandon Yang Zhai and attack Yang City will not only be food, but will be pulled. ”

Seeing Zhai Ling away, Yang Chengshou still didn't dare to make up his mind to open the city, and pondered alone in the warm pavilion until midnight, and did not fall asleep. At this time, Yang Cheng Wei urgently asked to see him, and Yang Cheng Shou hurriedly got up to see him. Captain Yang Cheng reported that the Korean soldiers who had been captured by the Qin army had come sporadically to surrender, and that they had been captured the day before yesterday and had been dragged to the front line today to build a barracks fence, and that they would have to undertake arduous engineering work in the future. It seems that the Qin army will inevitably attack the city.

Yangcheng Shou was full of sorrow and asked, "What is the captain's plan to retreat?" ”

Captain Yangcheng said: "The minister is willing to lead the troops out of the city to attack it and destroy its camp fence to surprise the Qin people." ”

Yangcheng guarded: "If you fight, the Qin army will pull out the city." Don't be at peace! ”

Yang Chengwei said: "I'm afraid it's inevitable." ”

Yang Chengwei said: "Jun Qi is self-controlled, I don't dare to be with it!" ”

Captain Yang Cheng immediately ordered two battalions of soldiers, quietly left the city through the two city gates, and headed in the direction of the Qin army camp. Captain Yang Cheng personally watched the battle from the city. The night was dark, and the Korean army gradually disappeared into the dark night. There are only a few bonfires, indicating the direction of the Qin army's camp.

After a long time, there was a shout in the distance, followed by the sound of drums. As soon as Yang Chengwei heard the sound of the drums, he immediately felt bad. The South Korean army is a sneak attack, so naturally it will not bring drums; And this drum sound is obviously not a warning, but an attack! This shows that the Qin army was waiting there, waiting for the Korean army to arrive, and then plunged into it. Captain Yangcheng's face changed greatly, and he immediately gave an order to behead all the Han soldiers who threw him. Now his only hope is that the commander of the Korean army who led the team is clever enough to withdraw the troops in time.

The shouting soon stopped, and it was clear that the South Korean army did not continue to attack, but chose to retreat on its own initiative. Yang Chengwei's heart was relieved: This commander is clever enough!

After a while, a group of dark shadows appeared outside the city. The captain of Yangcheng ordered people to shine down with torches, and shouted for the first person: "Wei Jun opens the city, I am Jingfu!" ”

The torch was not bright enough, but it was enough to see that it was a group of Korean soldiers, and the person at the head seemed to be the commander Kyoo. Yang Cheng Wei said: "Why? ”

Jingfu said: "The Qin army is prepared, and we have a plan!" And open the city, the Qin people are coming! ”

Captain Yang Cheng ordered: "Open the city quickly, put the suspension bridge!" ”

The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and the group of Korean soldiers swarmed in, one shouted "kill", and the soldiers raised their hands and stabbed the Korean soldiers by the door. The Han army, which had rushed in, rushed to the city wall, took control of Yang Chengwei, and one person rushed to the city tower and beat the drum.

As soon as the drum stopped, the Qin army slaughtered under the city gate, quickly spread out the streets, and controlled one street after another. The sporadic resistance was quickly extinguished.

As soon as the army occupied the city, they ordered all the men in the city to gather in the southern city, and only women were allowed to stay in the house. Some families resisted and were set on fire from the outside. The people who guarded the Yangcheng Mansion also wanted to go up to the wall to resist, and the Yangcheng guard hurriedly came out and said, "Let's stop doing it, we will all surrender!" Then he ordered his retainers to go down the wall, and he stood at the door with Zhai Ling, waiting for the arrival of the Qin army.
