Chapter 205 The end of the road, thank you in blood
The city defense in Xicheng is not as complete as that of the Public Security City. For example, the Wengcheng Xicheng, which is owned by the Public Security City, does not have one.
Without the barrier of the Wengcheng, when Zhang Yi led his army into the city gate, they had already arrived at the inner city of the West City.
At this time, Shen Yi had already led part of the defeated troops to the city, not far from Zhang Yi.
Although Zhang Yi, who was eight feet tall, was not riding on a horse, he could still see where Shen Yi was due to his height advantage.
After seeing Shen Yi's whereabouts, Zhang Ni raised his blood-stained sword and shouted at the Mi army behind him: "The merits are ahead, so hurry up!"
After shouting this, Zhang Ni immediately led nearly a thousand soldiers behind him to kill in the direction of Shen Yi.
When Shen Yi saw this scene, he had just escaped from the city and was still in shock. Now he saw the strong and burly General Mi leading his troops to kill him. He was instantly frightened out of his mind and fled towards the interior of the West City.
When Shen Yi was fleeing into the west city, he ordered the Shen army beside him to step forward to stop Zhang Yi and the nearly a thousand Mi army.
Most of those who stayed with Shen Yi after the army collapsed were Shen Yi's die-hard loyalists.
After receiving Shen Yi's order, these hundreds of people, even though they were fearful in their hearts, still bravely stepped forward in the end.
Zhang Yi was valued by Liu Bei and recruited to serve in the state because of his bravery.
When the brave Zhang Ni led nearly a thousand Mi troops with high fighting spirit and began to charge forward, those Shen troops who tried to block Zhang Ni's pace under Shen Yi's orders fell one by one to Zhang Ni and nearly a thousand Mi troops.
Under the blade.
The road inside the west city gate has gradually been stained red with blood.
However, although Zhang Yi and nearly a thousand Mi troops were unstoppable, the road inside the city gate was not wide and was surrounded by private houses.
In addition, many Shen troops fled from the city gate at this time, so the progress of Zhang Ni and nearly a thousand Mi troops was temporarily blocked in the chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Yi was able to escape briefly.
After Zhang Yi saw that Shen Yi had disappeared, he did not rush to lead his troops to chase Shen Yi because the overall situation was the most important thing.
He commanded the Mi troops who rushed into the city and began to recruit the Shen troops at the city gate. As for those die-hard Shen Yi soldiers who refused to surrender, Zhang Yi commanded the Mi troops to kill them all.
Under Zhang Ni's proper handling, fewer and fewer Shen troops resisted the Mi army at the city gate, and soon Zhang Ni had complete control of the west city gate.
As long as the west city gate is completely controlled, follow-up reinforcements from the Mi Army can come in a steady stream, and the complete fall of the west city is only a matter of time.
At this point, the overall situation in Xicheng has been decided.
Shortly after Zhang Yi took complete control of the city gate, most of the reinforcements led by Deng Ai also arrived at the city gate.
After the reinforcements led by Deng Ai arrived, Zhang Ni handed over the city gate to Deng Ai, and then he led nearly a thousand Mi troops from his headquarters and rushed all the way into the west city.
Shen Yi's party members had suffered heavy casualties in the battle at the wooden gate outside the city. In addition, they were killed by Zhang Yi's army at the city gate.
So even though there are still many Shen troops in the West City, now that the city gate has fallen, they who are not die-hard loyalists to Shen Yi have already lost their fighting spirit.
When Zhang Ni led nearly a thousand Mi troops forward, under Zhang Ni's surrender, the streets in the west city were full of Shen troops who abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Since there was no Shen army blocking the way, Zhang Ni led his army to advance very quickly. Soon, under the leadership of Shen Jun's subordinates, Zhang Ni arrived at the county seat in the west city.
At this time, Shen Yi was in the county government.
After Shen Yi escaped from the rebel army just now, he immediately returned to the county government.
After Zhang Yi led his army into the city, Shen Yi could see that it was only a matter of time before Xicheng fell.
Therefore, Shen Yi fled back to the county government not to collect the defeated troops and continue to resist stubbornly.
There are his wives, concubines and children in the county government. Even if the wives and concubines are not taken with him, the children must be taken away.
But just when Shen Yi returned to the county government and took his family with him to escape to another city gate, he discovered that many defeated troops were pouring into the city from the city gate in front.
After seeing this, Shen Yi knew that the other gates in the West City were probably on the verge of falling.
In desperation, Shen Yi could only lead her family to escape back to the county government.
When Shen Yi and her family had just fled into the county government, Zhang Ni's army had already pursued them outside the county government.
Seeing more and more Mi troops gathering outside the county government, Shen Yi slowly fell into despair.
Only now did he realize how big the gap was between him and Mi Yang.
Originally, Shen Yi thought that he could hold Mi Yang's offensive for a while with the help of the city, so that he could turn the corner.
But what he never expected was that just one day, the wooden gate that he regarded as the fortress of the West City fell.
In just one day, Xicheng has already become Mi Yang's possession.
Faced with this huge gap, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness and self-deprecation when she was at the end of her rope.
Why did you choose to go against Mi Yang in the first place?
But when this idea appeared in Shen Yi's mind, Shen Yi suddenly realized something.
When did he ever go against Mi Yang?
Since Mi Yang came to Hanxing County, although the Shen brothers secretly did not want Mi Yang to interfere too much, they were still quite respectful to Mi Yang on the surface.
After realizing this, Shen Yi suddenly realized why Mi Yang wanted to attack the Shen brothers.
Because of the administrative power of Hanxing County!
After understanding Mi Yang's intention to send troops, Shen Yi immediately sent a tribesman to send a message to Zhang Yi who was surrounding the county.
He wants to see Mi Yang.
After most of the Mi troops came ashore and controlled the situation in Xicheng, Mi Yang set foot on the land of Xicheng for the first time under the protection of his own troops.
When Mi Yang came to the wooden door that had been scorched black by the fire, he saw Ding Feng sitting on the ground with a knife.
To be precise, it was Ding Feng sitting in a pool of blood.
The place where Ding Feng was sitting was the place where hundreds of Mi troops had been trapped in a tight siege just now.
Around this place, nearly a thousand corpses were lying, some of which belonged to the Mi Army, but most of them belonged to the Shen Army.
Because too many people died in this place, the khaki earth had already been infected with blood and turned black and red.
And because Ding Feng killed the most people, a small pool of blood formed on the ground where he was.
These signs are enough to show how brutal the battle Ding Feng and hundreds of Mi troops experienced just now.
Perhaps this small battle will not be recorded in history books in the future, but no one can erase the heroic deeds of Ding Feng and hundreds of Mi troops fighting today.
Ding Feng was closing his eyes to rest. In the battle just now, he had almost exhausted all his strength.
Moreover, he had suffered a lot of injuries in the battle just now. Although there were no critical injuries, those wounds were still causing waves of pain.
If he had not been close to the stage of losing his strength, he would have followed Zhang Yi and rushed towards the west city to complete the feat.
But unfortunately, manpower will eventually be exhausted.
Ding Feng, who was closing his eyes to rest, heard a burst of heavy footsteps coming towards him.
The footsteps did not sound like an army marching. After hearing the footsteps, Ding Feng opened his eyes.
When Ding Feng opened his eyes, he saw Mi Yang walking in front of him with blood on her feet.
After seeing Mi Yang arriving, Ding Feng quickly stood up and asked Mi Yang to salute him.
But before his body could get up, he was stopped by Mi Yang's powerful hands.
"No need to be polite."
Mi Yang's gentle voice reached Ding Feng's ears.
After stopping Ding Feng from standing up and saluting, Mi Yang looked at the hundreds of soldiers behind Ding Feng, and he also stopped them from saluting.
Looking at the majestic figure in front of him, a look of guilt appeared on Ding Feng's face.
He sat on the ground and looked up at Mi Yang and said: "General, Feng is incompetent and cannot capture and kill Shen Yi for the general."
Ding Feng's guilty words fell into Mi Yang's ears. Seeing that Ding Feng was still paying attention to this, Mi Yang showed a smile.
Mi Yang took off his cloak and covered Ding Feng's ravaged body.
Then he said to Ding Feng: "Your bravery is recognized by the whole army."
"Although Shen Yi was not captured and killed, in the battle in Xicheng, you were the first to take the lead."
When Mi Yang said these words, Ding Feng couldn't help but sit in a pool of blood on the ground, bent his body and bowed deeply to Mi Yang.
When discussing military exploits in the military, military achievements are mostly judged by results.
Perhaps he was the one who broke the wooden door just now, and he was also the one who turned into bait so that Mi Yang could find the opportunity to defeat Shen's army in a battle.
But judging from the results, Zhang Yi was the first to break the city. If Zhang Yi was the first to break the city, it would make sense.
What's more, compared to himself, Zhang Yi was Mi Yang's confidant general, and he was just a subordinate.
But Mi Yang was not like other generals who were nepotistic in their merits. He very impartially rated himself as the first to conquer the West City, which moved Ding Feng very much.
Isn't it because he worked so hard to achieve meritorious service?
Didn't he work so hard just to get Mi Yang's recognition?
Now Mi Yang has not erased his merits, nor has he been unfair in judging his merits because of his status as a reduced general.
Mi Yang affirmed his contribution and his dedication, which was the best reward for Ding Feng.
Seeing the fearful Ding Feng who had just killed thousands of enemy soldiers, he was so moved that he bowed down to him because of his natural words, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking about it, such a fierce general suffered a lot of injustice in the Wu army in the past.
In the past, when Ding Feng was in the Wu army, he often broke the formation first and beheaded generals to seize the flag. Such achievements were undoubtedly very great.
But when he surrendered to him, his military position was that of Sima of the First Army. If Ding Feng's past achievements were not corrupted, then who would believe it?
Perhaps Ding Feng's first general, Gan Ning, would not have done that kind of thing.
But Ding Feng's second general, Lu Xun, no matter how good his personal ethics were, he was from a Jiangdong family after all, and he could not be selfless in handling some matters.
After making a promise to Ding Feng, Mi Yang ordered people to help Ding Feng and the remaining hundreds of soldiers on the ship, and asked the military medical officer to treat him.
Not to mention Ding Feng, there are still more than a hundred soldiers left in the wooden gate. Although they are not dead, they all have many injuries on their bodies.
If the reinforcements had arrived half an hour later, they would have been completely wiped out.
After the hundreds of warriors from the wooden gate were lifted up one by one, the soldiers and generals of the Mi army who passed by the wooden gate and rushed to the west city all showed admiration for them.
Just as Mi Yang said, their brave fighting just now was seen by the entire army.
In the army, such a comrade who bravely kills the enemy without caring about his own life deserves everyone's respect.
After Ding Feng and others were helped away, a messenger came to Mi Yang and reported to him that Shen Yi wanted to see him.
After receiving the news, Mi Yang did not hesitate and led his troops towards the west city.
When Mi Yang arrived outside the county government in Xicheng, he found that the entire county government had been surrounded by his army.
When Zhang Yi saw Mi Yang arriving, he quickly stepped forward and reported to Mi Yang what had just happened.
It turned out that after Shen Yi sent a messenger and asked to see Mi Yang, in order to fear that Zhang Ni outside the county government would not agree, he specifically threatened to burn the county records treasury.
The record library is a place where all important files of a county are stored. If Shen Yi burned it down with a fire, all the files inside would be gone.
After the war, the first thing that needed to be done was to stabilize people's livelihood and restore production.
But if all documents related to the people's livelihood in a county are destroyed, it will undoubtedly cause great obstacles to Mi Yang's subsequent resumption of production.
Zhang Ni knew that Mi Yang planned to use Xicheng as the new administrative seat of Hanxing County.
Under such circumstances, the documents in Xicheng are even more important.
Maybe Mi Yang didn't care about this, but Zhang Yi was just Mi Yang's general, and he couldn't make decisions for Mi Yang without authorization.
Anyway, the county government was surrounded by people, and Shen Yi was already unable to fly. Zhang Yi didn't mind delaying some time to wait for Mi Yang's arrival.
After understanding the general situation, Mi Yang nodded, and then ordered someone to shout to the county government.
"If there is even a spark in the archives, none of the Shen family will be left!"
After the orderer shouted these words, Mi Yang decisively gave the order to attack.
Now that he has the overall situation under control, how can he be threatened by Shen Yi?
The record library in the county government plays a very important role in the administration of a county, but this role does not threaten Mi Yang.
Anyway, the documents in the docket are all sponges. Do you want such documents?
Shen Yi thought that he just wanted to trade, but Shen Yi forgot one thing. Now he has lost that capital.
When Shen Yi in the county government heard what Mi Yang ordered to shout, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
After Shen Yi fell, the Mi army outside the county government launched a general offensive under Mi Yang's order.
The gate of the county government was crumbling under the attack of the Mi army. At this time, Shen Yi looked at the gate of the county government that was about to be smashed, but he still did not dare to issue an order to burn the records library.
Shen Yi knew that he and Shen Dan had no chance of survival, but he and Shen Dan could die, but the Shen family could not cut off their inheritance because of him.
Under Shen Yi's hesitation, the gate of the county government had been knocked open by numerous Mi troops.
Countless Mi troops began to swarm in from outside the empty door, and then surrounded Shen Yi's place.
The remaining hundreds of soldiers of the Shen clan in the county saw Shen Yi lying on the ground without saying a word, and in the end they all had no choice but to put down their weapons.
At this time, Mi Yang, escorted by a group of pro-army soldiers, crossed the numerous human walls and came to Shen Yi.
Since Shen Yi wants to see her, Mi Yang has fulfilled his wish now.
This is the fastest way to meet.
