The sites of the eight pillars and other cities and fortresses in central Sichuan are all located on the mountains accessible by waterways, and the same is true for Pengxi Village. About 100 miles from Jiantan Ferry to Pengxi Village, there is also a waterway that is not wide but can pass small and medium-sized boats. The speed of walking by water is slow, but it can save manpower horsepower. Under the long-distance attack, the horses of the Thunderbolt army were very tired.

Out of the perspective of distressing the war horse, some subordinates proposed to use the captured ships to take the waterway, but Wu Qing decisively vetoed it. "Soldiers are precious and fast", although war horses are precious, but fighters are even more precious. Wu Qing immediately decided to lead 600 soldiers with one man and two horses to capture Pengxi Village while the Mongolian army had not yet learned the news of Jiantandu and Lingquan Mountain. The remaining 600 people were escorted to the ammunition and baggage by water.

With one person and two horses, Wu Qing arrived at Pengxi Village in only one day. It's sunset, and the light is still bright. The soldiers on the watchtower of Pengxi Village found a cavalry coming straight from the official road in the direction of the cottage, and the billowing smoke and dust rolled up behind them, so they hurriedly sounded the gong to warn. The sudden sound of the gong caused confusion in the stockade, and after a brief panic, the defenders took up their weapons and stood on the wall.

Since Pengxi Village fell into the hands of the Mongolian army, it has rarely been disturbed by the war. The surrounding area of two or three hundred miles was controlled by the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army was in a strategic offensive situation, and the Song army, which was tired of defense, never came to attack. In fact, the soldiers and civilians of Pengxi Village did not have much antipathy to the surrender of the Mongolian army. After the surrender of Mongolia, the same officials were still governing the place, and although the taxes and labor were much heavier, they lived a stable life.

Yang Dayuan was known as a famous anti-Mongolian general before he surrendered to Mongolia, and he was famous for his rigorous management of the army and outstanding military achievements in the Sichuan battlefield, and his reputation was even equal to Yu Xing. It was Yang Dayuan's confidant general who guarded Pengxi Village, and he strictly followed his instructions and did not let his guard down because there was no war. Hearing the sound of the alarm, he immediately led his own army to rush to the direction of the Zhaimen.

The cavalry came very quickly, and by the time he reached the tower of the walled gate, the cavalry of several hundred men had rushed to an open place a mile below the city gate. Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, he could clearly see that the banners and costumes were Mongolian cavalry, and the smell of horses and sheep could still be faintly smelled in the air drifting in the wind.

Wu Qing saw that the gate was closed, so he sent someone to negotiate. Several of the people he sent were proficient in the Mongolian language, and one of them was the Mongol Han army who defected with Zeng Yong from Wang Dechen's department in Lizhou. These Perak soldiers walked to the gate of the fortress in a big way, and first scolded in Mongolian, claiming that they belonged to the Kudu Department, and went to Qingju City on an urgent military order.

There are also Mongolian translators in the village, and the original Mongolian language was translated immediately. The guard heard the filthy language of the swearing, and his nose was crooked in anger, but he did not dare to attack the comer, so he had to whip the interpreter who was not long-eyed, and beat the unlucky man to scream miserably. The Mongol soldiers were originally barbaric and rude, and if they scolded the past, they would not be able to fight each other.

The guard believed a little in his heart the words of these people under the walled gate, but the ancestors and women were still indignant when they were questioned, and immediately put on a businesslike face and asked the person to come up with official documents. After Kublai Khan became Khan, in order to stabilize his rule over the Han land, he issued a series of edicts and decrees to prevent the Mongol army from committing misdeeds. However, these edicts and decrees have not been effectively implemented, and many Mongolian soldiers still believe in the supremacy of force, especially in marching and fighting, they are still tyrannical, often plundering civilians, and even the newly annexed army is not spared. The guards of Pengxi Village will use official documents as a condition for opening the gate of the village, and if they encounter other Mongolian troops, they will already riot and kill them directly.

The military discipline of the Perak army was extremely strict, and Wu Qing, who was deeply educated, would think of the relationship between the Mongolian army and the new annexed army, so he immediately rode a horse and led people to the village gate to negotiate. At this time, the whipped interpreter and a small official were also hung down from the village to inspect the official documents brought by Wu Qing.

What official documents can Wu Qing have? He only had a captured letter from the Mongolian army, a letter written in Mongolian language from Kudu to Baijianu, about the casualties of his troops on the Mianshui front. If it is shown to the interpreter, it will inevitably make the plan useless. At that moment, he shook the letter in front of the interpreter and put it away on the grounds of military secrets. At this time, the sky was already hazy, Wu Qing was on the horse again, and the interpreter only saw the Mongolian text and the official seal on the cover in a daze, and he was about to open his mouth to ask for a closer look, but unexpectedly, the whip struck down again.

The one who translated the whip was the Thunderbolt soldier who came with Zeng Yong Surrender. He had been in the Mongol Han army for many years, so he naturally knew the way the Mongol cavalry dealt with the new annexed army, so he immediately dealt a ruthless hand, and the interpreter rolled all over the ground and screamed miserably, constantly begging the Mongolian lord to spare his life. The interpreter called the Mongolian lord in his mouth, which made the new annexed army in the village think that the comer must be a Mongolian cavalry.

Without waiting for Wu Qing to speak, the Thunderbolt soldier and a few companions shouted at the top of the walled building, if they didn't open the gate again, they would go straight in. Pengxi Village is condescending and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 500 defenders, not to mention that hundreds of cavalry without siege weapons cannot be attacked, even if thousands of infantry troops carrying siege equipment come, it is difficult to break through in a short time. In Wu Qing's opinion, this threat is simply smiling and generous, and it will not be ignored by the defenders at all.

Rao is Wu Qing is brave and knowledgeable, and he does not dare to stay under the wall for a long time. Once the camouflage is recognized, there will be a rain of arrows and even boulders flying on the walls of the walled buildings, and there will definitely be heavy casualties, and they will immediately have the idea of retreating and making plans again. Just as he was about to give the order, the gate of the fortress was slowly opened. The guard came with men to meet him, and while he ran in a hurry, he repeatedly confessed his guilt, and delayed the army because of his cumbersome official duties.

Happiness came too suddenly, and seeing the gate of the village wide open, of course the Thunderbolt soldiers would not be polite. After a period of whistles, Wu Qing and others took control of the walled gate, and then the Thunderbolt army's brigade also rode into the wall.

The soldiers of the new annex army in the village were rushed to pieces before they could react, and most of them were taken prisoner, except for a few diehards who desperately resisted and were killed. The guard was covered in ropes and tied up into a brown man. Lying on the ground, he really couldn't figure out why the Mongolian army was so tyrannical, and he only opened the gate of the village late and opened a large killing ring on friendly troops.

It wasn't until Wu Qing stood in the middle of the school yard and announced the capture policy of the Thunderbolt Army to the newly attached army that the guards of Pengxi Village understood what was happening, and they fainted in anger. Awakened by cold water, the guard found himself tied to a stake, with his former subordinates wielding knives in front of him. Those faces that were usually sycophants and flattering in every way became so strange and hideous at this moment, approaching him step by step with a short knife.

Pengxi Village is far away from the Perak Army and is as far away as 500 miles from Chongqing Mansion, and it is impossible to follow the previous principles in the disposal of prisoners. Many of these captives have followed Yang Dayuan for many years, and they are desperate for him, and once Yang Dayuan raises troops to counterattack, these captives are very likely to mutiny. Under the internal and external attacks, Pengxi Village will definitely not be able to hold it.

"Hurry up with power", Ouyang Xuan authorized Wu Qing to severely punish traitors in accordance with the law before he set off. Therefore, after he took control of the whole village, he still used the method of disposing of prisoners in Lingquan Mountain, screened the prisoners of the new annexed army and the officials in the village overnight, purged the hardcore traitors, and collected the remaining 400 prisoners to meet the upcoming counterattack of Yang Dayuan's army.
