"General...... General Cao...... The soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom are here! ”

Cao Zhen, who was patrolling to a corner of the city, was shocked by the words shouted by the soldiers who rushed over, just after noon, didn't the imperial envoy team go to the Yanguo military camp?

Could it be that the talks have collapsed?

He hurried to the city tower in the middle of the north gate with his own soldiers, and stood behind the battlements to look into the distance.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The neat array, countless feet stepping on the rhythm of the drum slowly forward, excluding the wounded soldiers, 17,000 Xiliang soldiers, 8,600 Youyan soldiers, formed two military formations to push forward, young and strong laborers pulled the carts and ran behind the left and right of the array, and a large number of cavalry roared past.

In the middle of the two arrays, 1,500 shield halberd warriors, 800 flying bear army guards of the Chinese army, and the cart pulled by eight war horses removed the curtain, and Su Chen, who was wearing white velvet and gold-edged mountain armor, sat on a tiger skin chair, and a venerable spirit seat behind him stretched out in the car.

The word "Yan" and "Xia" are hunting and flying.

Walking on both sides of the cart were Dian Wei, who was dressed in hideous iron armor, carrying a double halberd, and Li Xuanba, who was also wearing iron armor and holding a double hammer. There were also Xiahou Yuan, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Li Dao, Zhang Yi, Ma Dai and other generals around, riding war horses and holding their own weapons, accompanying the king to march slowly.

"Lonely this posture...... None of the dynasties and generations are so majestic, right? ”

Su Chen leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the city wall in the distance and thought.

The majestic or not majestic Cao Zhen on the distant city wall is not clear, the only thing that is clear is that the Yan Kingdom is really going to attack the city, and at the same time, there are more generals than in the previous days.

This time it's not a military training, it's a real siege.

"Get ready!" Cao Zhen looked at the 'black line' spreading in the distance and gave an order softly.

The heralds waved banners and shouted: "Prepare to defend the city!" ”

"Fart, I'm talking about surrender!" Cao Zhen turned his head and shouted at the herald: "There is a lonely city, more than 10,000 tired soldiers, what to defend?" Hold your head and guard it! ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved the order flag again.

The archers who originally stepped forward were stunned in place, the raised bow hung down, and the hands placed in the quiver were also withdrawn, Cao Zhen couldn't move one arm, and the other hand pressed the head of the sword and turned around and walked down the city tower, waving his hand, and speaking quickly: "Open the city gate and send the order to ride forward to the King of Xia to beg for surrender, fast!" ”

Watching Ling Qi turn over his horse and rush out of the slowly opening city gate, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, at this time, the chief catcher Fang Tianling came with a group of people from the yamen to catch fast and the yamen, he knew that the defense of the city was weak, and the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, so he specially brought the subordinates who could dance swords and guns in the yamen to rush over.

However, what he saw was Ling Qi galloping out of the city, and he turned over and dismounted and walked to Cao Zhen, who was standing against the wall.

"You surrender!? Do you know how many people died, and you surrendered to Yan Kingdom?! ”

Cao Zhen broke away from him, pressed his left hand on Fang Tianling's chest, and knocked the other party away with one palm: "If you don't surrender, you will die more, what if you slaughter the city?" The incident in Fenzhou, if the other party wants to take revenge in Chendu County, the people of the city will die! ”

"If you really retaliate, he won't kill him if he surrenders?!" Fang Tianling reached out and grabbed the knife.

"Then it's a gamble too!" Cao Zhen grabbed his hand, pressed the knife back into the sheath, and roared loudly in front of the soldiers and yamen in the city: "Ben will do his best!" We kept watch for three days...... I'm running out of sons! ”

"You're spineless! It's the same as Wei Jintang! ”

"You have a backbone, okay, now you take your people out of the city gate and fight with the army of Yan State, you ask the catchers and officials behind you, do they dare? They are not afraid of death! ”

Fang Tianling gritted his teeth, followed the direction pointed by Cao Xin, the city gate was wide open, and the Ling cavalry had galloped towards the spreading military array, in the drumbeat of the war, he waved a white flag, and under the arrow from one finger, he rushed in a straight line into the Chinese army array two miles behind.

The ancestral locomotive that was slowly moving stopped.

Su Chen stood up from the tiger skin chair and looked at Wei Junling, who was taken to the front by the armor and knelt down, "Surrender?" ”

"Yes, General Cao knew that he was invincible to the king, and led the people of the whole city to beg to surrender to the king!"

"Huh."

In the car, Su Chen nodded with satisfaction, since the other party took the initiative to surrender, he didn't need to let Erlang charge into battle in vain, "Lone allowed him to beg to surrender, go back and inform Cao Zhen, the four doors are wide open, the people in the city are not allowed to leave the house, the soldiers in the city will throw all the weapons in their hands to the city, if one person does not comply, slaughter the city!" ”

Ling Qi pursed his lips, arched his hands heavily, bowed down, and then walked out of the armor defense range, turned over his horse, and galloped towards the city gate, along with hundreds of Xiqiang horsemen, who wanted to personally control the city gate, and saw the other party throw their weapons off the city.

Six hundred light horsemen jumped into the city gate, and the soldiers of Chendu County were intimidated by the majesty of the cavalry, and they retreated to both sides, watching them ride on horseback, and martial law was imposed on all sides, and no one in the city was allowed to approach the city gate again.

"Mr. Fang, don't you want to defend the city? Now that the gates have fallen, it's your turn! ”

Looking at the six hundred Beidi cavalry who formed a formation under the city tower, they were just arresting the general arrest of the rivers and lakes and green forests, and they didn't dare to step forward at all, even if these cavalry didn't know any martial arts, but when the army was assembled, it was not something that one or two rivers and lakes and green forests could shake.

"When the king arrives, the soldiers in the city kneel!" Wu Zixun rode a horse first, came to the back of the six hundred Xiqiang horses, and shouted loudly.

Cao Zhen knelt down on the side of the road, and the surrounding soldiers also put down their weapons one by one and knelt half-kneeling. Fang Tianling was afraid of the crowd behind him, and he also knelt down, leaving him standing there abruptly alone.

Stepping into the city with neat steps, the shield-like halberders like iron walls opened the way first, the cavalry urged the horses to part ways, and the luxurious carts entered the field of vision from behind the armor soldiers.

A tall figure stood on the chariot, looking at Fang Tianling standing in the kneeling crowd opposite, who swallowed his saliva and hurriedly knelt down.

Su Chen's gaze was deflected at this time, and he looked at the figure with different armor from the soldiers on the side, and his voice was low: "General Cao, I need you to do a few things, first, you take all the soldiers in the city, beckon the people to leave the city, go to the Xiliang army garrison outside the camp on the river bank and wait to cross the river to the north, and allow them to take away the property and food they can take away; second, confiscated the grain, gold and silver from the official warehouses in the city, loaded them into trucks and pulled them away; third, to leave the wounded soldiers in the city; Fourth, if you can't do it within five days, you can't do it, and the lonely soldiers and horses can do it for you! ”

"General Cao Zhen, can you ask the king why he let the people leave the city?"

"Lone and your son of heaven have collapsed, do you think it's better to slaughter the city, or let the people live? Go ahead, Lone's patience isn't very much! ”

"Yes......"

The streets and alleys, which had been hit by several stone bullets, gradually became noisy and noisy, and groups of soldiers armed with sticks rushed into the houses and courtyards to let the people take their belongings, and then drove them to the streets.

On the long streets, the people looked around in panic, and after a while, a government official rode alone on the street, shouting loudly: "By the order of King Xia, all the people of Chendu County immediately leave the city, follow the government officials, and go out from the west gate as soon as possible, and go to the north.

A large number of people were pushed and shouted and began to move, and it took five days for the chaos in the city to gradually subside, and the people who once lived here walked mightily on the fields to the north, with no end in sight.

Standing on the head of Chendu County, overlooking the streets and alleys of the city, the long street is messy, as if it has become a ghost town, dead and silent.

On the sixth day of November, another few days passed.

Thousands of chariots from Luyang were all received by the soldiers and horses of the Yan State, and the gold, silver, grain, and herds of cattle and sheep were counted, and the process of moving north began, which took nearly half a month.

And in this half month, Liu Gon with the envoy team and the escort of the two battalions of soldiers and horses, as well as a large number of tens of thousands of foot men were camped twenty miles east of the city of Chendu County to wait, and the order of the Xia King in the north did not allow them to move.

When the Beidi cavalry came to inform them that they could take over the city, Liu Gon hurriedly rushed to the east gate with a battalion of 2,000 soldiers and horses.

His heart thumped, and he let the soldiers push the city gate open, and the heavy city gate slowly opened, and Liu Gon rode into the war horse and galloped in, and what fell in his field of vision was a desolation like a ghost.

"What about people?!"

He sat on horseback, looking at the open, half-open doors and windows around him swaying slightly in the wind, and his voice lingered in the empty alley,

Liu Gon thumped his chest and shouted heartbreakingly.

"What about people?! Chen Du 80,000 people...... Where have you gone...... Who came out to answer the old man!! ”

Soon, the news came back to Luyang as quickly as possible, and it was already November 20, and the court of Wei was shaken, and Emperor Zhao Chuanting's efforts to nourish his qi were difficult to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Junior, so cunning!"

He kicked the heavy dragon case out and slid two feet out of the ground, "I'm inseparable from you—"
