Chapter 104 Under the City of Yuyang (4)

Seeing Dian Wei rushing all the way to Pound's side, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and converging with Pound De, his soldiers were like fragile flies, easily wiped out by Dian Wei, Zhang Ju's face was very ugly, like ashes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A henchman rebel came to Zhang Ju's side quietly and said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold Yuyang today, so it's better to withdraw." ”

Zhang Ju's face did not change at all, and he said weakly: "According to you, where should I go?" After Zhang Ju saw the martial arts of the generals under Yuan Qi and the elite of the soldiers, the will to resist in the end was gone, and the life of spending all day and wine had long since exhausted his few sharp spirits.

The rebel general pointed in the direction of the north of the city, and said: "Now the Yuan Qi is besieging the city on three sides, only the north gate has not had time to close the siege, according to the minister's view, the green mountains are left without worrying about no firewood, and the minister protects the saint from the north gate out of the city, and then goes to the thorn tower to borrow troops, and then kills back." ”

Zhang Ju glanced weakly at the north of the city, and then shouted: "Let's go, let's go out of the city from the north gate." ”

The henchman rebel secretly beckoned more than a thousand cronies and rebels, and then protected Zhang Ju and quietly left the battlefield, ignoring the tens of thousands of troops who were still fighting bloodily, perhaps, the remaining tens of thousands of troops, in his opinion, should stay as a matter of course and continue to fight with the enemy, attract the attention of the enemy, and cover for the escape of himself and others.

Soon, Zhang Ju's escape was discovered by the rebels who were interested in him, and discontent began to spread among the rebels. Later, Zhang Ju also raised troops to rebel and proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, Youzhou Mu Yuanying treated the people kindly, and many of the rebels who followed Zhang Ju's rebellion had received Yuanying's favor at home, but the top boss Zhang Ju rebelled, so he had to follow the rebellion, and he didn't mention it at all; but the problem was that when the catastrophe was imminent, Zhang Ju ran away without saying a word, leaving tens of thousands of rebels to cover him and his entourage, which made the rebels' hearts uncomfortable.

As a result, the rebel camp soon split, with some people beginning to throw away their weapons and silently surrender, while some of Zhang Ju's diehards were still desperately resisting, trying to buy Zhang Ju a little more time to escape from Yuyang.

Yuan Qi has always been very preferential to the rebels who surrendered, and never killed prisoners indiscriminately, but against the recalcitrant rebels, Yuan Qi's aim was to kill without mercy. Adhering to this purpose, Dian Wei was like a killing god, where the gun was raised, there was always a rain of blood, and the recalcitrant rebels screamed, and the corpses killed by Dian Wei and the five hundred land elites were all over the city wall.

Seeing that Dian Wei had disrupted the rebels' position, Huang Yong put away his bow and arrows, pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and led the infantry under Pang De's command to chase after Dian Wei, while leaving the people who followed him to the city to protect Pang De, who retreated due to injury.

Don't look at Huang Yong, who is over forty years old, but the knife in his hand is as sharp as his bow and arrow, flying up and down, and the blood is dotted.

Just after being baptized by Dian Wei's furious double guns, the rebels who were lucky enough to escape didn't have time to catch their breath before they ushered in Huang Yong's killing. Huang Yong's movements look much more elegant than Dian Wei's, but under his elegant movements, the rebels who died under his knife were no less than the souls under Dian Wei's gun.

Yuyang's city gate was finally knocked open, Ma Yue took the lead in the city, the moon spear in his hand flew like rain hitting plantains, and between a few breaths, the rebels guarding the city gate cave were killed by Ma Yue more than ten people. Ma Yue was quick-tempered, and he had the heart to establish his first skill, so he rushed into the city as soon as possible. But don't forget, Ma Yue is not the only one in the vanguard under Yuan Qi, followed by Zuo Ci, who has long been ready to go. Zuo Ci entered the city gate cave and saw that Ma Yue had cleaned up some rebels, and he was very anxious, afraid that Ma Yue would make meritorious contributions first, so he didn't speak at the moment, and the wind gun in his hand danced faster and faster than Ma Yue, and he tried to clean up the rebels at the city gate as soon as possible, and entered the city as soon as possible to kill Zhang Ju.

Under the leadership of Ma Yue and Zuo Ci, the soldiers under the two were also energetic and competed with each other to see which one killed more enemies. Of course, this competition is benign. It is also the positive influence brought about by Yuan Qi's compassion for soldiers and the use of later generations to govern the army.

After a short rush, the rebels at the city gate were quickly cleared. Ma Yue and Zuo Ci glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a friendly and provocative look to see who could take Zhang Ju first.

Looking away, Ma Yue and Zuo Ci beckoned their subordinates separately and ran in two different directions in the city, encountering recalcitrant rebels along the way, and the two of them cleaned up easily.

On the battlefield outside the city, a slight north wind blew. Yuan Qi's voice sounded behind the dragon mask: "After this battle, Yuyang City's vitality has been greatly damaged, and if you want to recover your vitality, it will take at least a year and a half." ”

Jia Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "Lord, I heard that Zhang Ju was extravagant, built palaces on a large scale, and recruited people to work hard, which caused serious damage to the economy of Yuyang City, and also delayed the spring plowing and autumn harvest of the people. ”

Yuan Qi nodded, accepted Jia Yuan's tactful persuasion, and then raised his head and said, "Zhao Hu, give the order to enter the city." Whoever enters the city and takes the goods of the people without permission will be killed. ”

"No. Zhao Hu commanded.

After the army entered the city, the battle was over. In Yuyang City, dead bodies can be seen everywhere, and the remnants of the war are still burning, symbolizing that this ancient city has just experienced a tragic war.

At this time, generals from all walks of life also came to Yuan Qima, reporting the battle situation everywhere.

First of all, the generals sent by the counties from all over the country came to report, because they were all feints, so the losses were almost negligible, of course, they also had no military exploits to report, just briefly described the process of entering the city.

Afterwards, Ma Yue and Zuo Ci walked over dejectedly at the same time, neither of them caught Zhang Ju, Ma Yue went straight to Zhang Ju's palace, searched inside, except for countless gold and silver jewelry and many maids and attendants, he found nothing. Zuo Ci went to the north gate to intercept Zhang Ju, but he never saw Zhang Ju, but instead intercepted and killed several waves of rebels who wanted to escape from the north gate, including the stupid prime minister appointed by Zhang Ju, all of whom were killed by Zuo Ci.

After that, Huang Yong and Dian Wei walked over with the injured Pound in their arms. When Yuan Qi saw the shocking wound on Pound's body, his hands holding the reins clenched violently. If it weren't for the generals of the counties and counties around the country, Yuan Qi would have dismounted to support Pang De, but at the moment, Yuan Qi could only suppress the emotions in his heart by holding the reins, as the master of the people, he could not dismount at this time, after Jia Yuan's reminder, Yuan Qi had already understood the necessity of maintaining the majesty of the lord, so that he could command the soldiers under his command more effectively in the future.

Although he couldn't get off the horse, Yuan Qi's concern was beyond words: "Ling Ming, the injury is okay?"

Pang De pushed away Huang Yong and Dian Wei who were supporting him, barely stood alone, and said with a heroic smile: "Thank you for your concern, this little injury is nothing." The last general will still be able to fight the rebels for 300 rounds!"

Yuan Qi nodded, and then said loudly: "Liyi Captain Pang De, brave in battle, took the lead in the city, and made a significant contribution to our army's capture of Yuyang. ”

Pound said loudly: "The last general has thanked the lord!"

Seeing that Yuan Qi had finished rewarding Pang De, Ma Yue, who had long been concerned about Pang De's safety, turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Pang De's side, first looked up and down, left and right, and made sure that Pang De's vital point was not traumatized, so he put his mind at ease, and then hugged Pang De. The two big men hugged each other tightly. At this time, no one laughed at them, and everyone could feel the joy of seeing each other safe and sound when brothers met after the war.

Subsequently, the battle reports came up one by one, and more than 50,000 rebels in Yuyang City were killed, and more than 30,000 people were killed, most of whom died at the head of the city; in addition, nearly 20,000 people surrendered; and thousands of others were unknown, and it is estimated that they fled with Zhang Ju or escaped alone. As for the Youzhou army, the injuries suffered when they first ascended the city were relatively serious, and together with the people who died in the later battles, a total of tens of thousands of people were killed in the battle, and more than 6,000 people were seriously injured.

Jia Yuan also reported a piece of good news, after counting, the gold, silver, treasures, grain, grass, weapons and other materials in Yuyang City were piled up, enough for the 100,000 army to be used for two years. Through this terrifying news, Yuan Qi could guess how Zhang Ju expropriated the people on weekdays, otherwise he would never be able to gather so many materials with just one county.

"Jia Yuan, open the treasury of Yuyang Mansion and distribute 100 yuan, a piece of cloth, and a piece of grain to each household in the city. Yuan Qi said lightly.

Jia Yuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly calculated in his heart, if it was according to the standard of Yuanqi, I am afraid that the money, grain, and cloth in Yuyang City would have to be used up at least half. I wanted to remind Yuan Qi, but when Jia Yuan saw Yuan Qi's firm face, he knew that Yuan Qi had made up his mind, although Jia Yuan had not followed Yuan Qi for a long time, but he knew that Yuan Qi had made up his mind, and he would definitely not change it. In Jia Yuan's opinion, Yuan Qi loves the people too much, you must know that this money and food is enough to build a strong army, but Yuan Qi distributed it to the people without blinking an eye.

However, Jia Yuan also admired Yuan Qi's courage in his heart, and took out half of the money and grain to help the people, such a move is not something anyone can do, even if it is Taishan, who is known as benevolent, I am afraid he is reluctant. In today's world, only his little lord will be like this, which is called true benevolence.
