A group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, roaring loudly for the first general, with endless hatred. The accompanying soldiers also shouted and waved their sabers with great momentum.
Xue Rengui heard it clearly. This is because the person who came here is evil and wants revenge?
The next moment, Xue Rengui's face turned cold and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, weren't you just blaming us for not fighting the battle? When the opportunity comes, Lian Nu is ready to kill them all."
Anyone who dares to follow him out of the city to fight must be a domestic soldier.
The soldiers in the family are loyal and brave, and it would be a disaster to keep them. As for the generals, they should not be kept.
When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately became excited. They picked up their repeating crossbows and aimed them at the charging cavalry.
"Shoot!"
Xue Rengui roared angrily, his fighting spirit rising to the sky.
"Boohoo!"
Countless crossbow bolts whizzed away, tearing apart the void and making a dense scream, like a ghost grinding its teeth.
Thousands of crossbow arrows converged, forming a deadly net that enveloped the charging cavalry.
In an instant, countless people screamed and fell off their horses, and the formation was in chaos.
But these people were very tenacious and brave, and they continued to charge forward. The leading general lowered his body to avoid the crossbow bolts, desperately slapped his horse with his horse to speed up, and shouted: "Charge up and take revenge!"
"revenge!"
The remaining people roared, lowered their bodies, and kept slapping the horses.
Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui's pupils shrank suddenly and shouted: "Keep shooting, no one will be spared!"
"Boohoo!"
The crossbow arrows came out one after another, whizzing away like a gust of wind and rain.
Xue Rengui also picked up the big bow and took out an iron arrow.
The next moment, the big bow was drawn, rattling, full of power, and the arrow locked on the target.
"call out!"
The iron arrow whizzed away like a stream of light.
"Xilulu!"
The general's horse was shot in the front knee joint, and he let out a shrill scream. His body stumbled, and he fell forward heavily. The general on the horse was thrown away.
"Plop!" With a sound, the general fell to the ground.
Before he could get up, a large number of cavalry rushed over from behind him. There was no time to dodge, and a war horse stepped hard on one of the general's legs, making a clicking sound.
"ah!"
The general let out a heartbreaking scream.
But the screams soon stopped, and the war horse continued to move forward, kicking the general's head with its hind hoof, causing his head to shatter, and he lost his life on the spot.
The war horse continued to rush forward. The horses behind it were beaten wildly and violently. They rushed forward, many of them stepped on the corpse of the general and continued to rush forward. Although the soldiers on horseback noticed it, they could not stop at all.
Xue Rengui put away his big bow indifferently, as if he had done something insignificant, picked up the horse and shouted: "Keep shooting, no one will be spared."
The crossbow arrows flew like rain and were densely packed, blocking the oncoming cavalry from all angles.
At this moment, the charging cavalry were like moths flying to the flame, falling off their horses one after another.
Facing the counterattack of a division of more than 7,000 soldiers with repeated crossbows, the 3,000 cavalry that rushed out were not enough to see. They all fell down before they could get close, and no one was spared.
The thick smell of blood instantly filled the void, and the ownerless horses ran wildly.
The ground was covered with corpses, and wounded soldiers who were still alive were wailing.
Xue Rengui turned to look at Qin Huaidao not far away.
Qin Huaidao nodded tacitly.
Xue Rengui understood the idea, Ma Shan pointed forward and shouted indifferently: "Come into the city, if you surrender, you will not be killed. Anyone with weapons will be killed without mercy. Charge——"
"Kill--"
The soldiers' morale was high and they rushed forward one after another.
Xue Rengui took the lead. Seeing many archers emerging from the city wall, he shouted: "Aim at the city wall and suppress them."
"Boohoo!"
The soldiers took action again, and the crossbow bolts roared away, frightening the archers on the wall to avoid them. The soldiers took the opportunity to swarm in and rushed into the city.
There was no one in command and the city was in disarray. The three thousand cavalry with the strongest combat effectiveness came out of the city and were shot dead. How could they stop the army led by Xue Rengui? A small number of militants were shot dead by repeated crossbows. The remaining ones were suddenly frightened and no longer had the will to fight.
, abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Longyou almost fell into the hands of the Hanzhou army.
When the news came, Qin Huaidao felt relieved, smiled with satisfaction, and signaled the army to continue setting up camp, and then sent people into the city to inform Xue Rengui to follow Yuanzhou's example in recruiting surrendered troops, appease the people, purchase food, and stabilize the situation.
An hour later, a large number of people poured out of the city, carrying various kinds of food.
Inside the Chinese military tent.
Qin Huaidao studied the map while eating. To the south of Longzhou is Qizhou, and to the west of Qizhou is Qinzhou. They have been captured by the imperial court. However, Xu Shiji had been ordered to do so a few days ago. He must have been surrounded by troops led by Xu Shiji at this time.
If we don't fight, the imperial army won't dare to give up the advantage of the city and go out to fight, so it won't be a big problem.
Once Qizhou is captured, he can join forces with Xu Shiji, blow open the city gate, and capture Qinzhou.
In this way, there will be no worries and the army can march to Chang'an.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a rapid voice sounded outside.
"Come in!"
A guard in Jinyi opened the curtain and came in, clasping his fists and saying: "Report to the King of Han, a team of more than a hundred people is coming from the north, claiming to be the son of the governor of Jingzhou, asking to see the King of Han!"
"The son of the governor of Jingzhou?"
Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, and his eyes fell on the map. Jingzhou is located to the north of Longzhou, not very far away. At this time, the governor of Jingzhou sent someone here, with the intention of making people think, and immediately said: "Bring the people here."
The messenger agreed and left in a hurry.
Not long after, Luo Wu personally brought a young man in.
The young man, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, showed a sign of talent, cupping his fists and saying: "Zi Yangzong, a scholar from Jingzhou, studied calligraphy and came here to see the King of Han at the order of my father."
Qin Huaidao had long known the detailed information of the governors of the states along the way through the intelligence network. Naturally, he knew that the governor of Jingzhou was called Yang Qiao. He was quite wise and talented. He had served as the governor of Jingzhou for several years, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
He went to school and was deeply loved by the local people.
Therefore, Qin Huaidao did not attack Jingzhou directly, but went straight to Longzhou.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Qin Huaidao asked calmly: "I appreciate the fact that Governor Yang has brought a lot of blessings to the country. I wonder why Governor Yang asked you to come here?"
"I would like to thank King Han for your praise for my father."
Yang Zong's eyes lit up, he bowed to express his thanks again and said: "My father does not want Jingzhou to be involved in the war, so I specially ordered me to bring the list of Jingzhou and ask the King of Han to treat him kindly."
Giving up the local register means surrender.
Qin Huaidao smiled: "I am very pleased that Governor Yang can think about the people of this area. When I go back, I will tell your father that if I live a good life as an official and benefit this area, I will definitely put him in great use by the Japanese king."
"Thank you, King Han!" Yang Zong was overjoyed and solemnly bowed to express his thanks again.
Since they are not members of the royal family, the Hanzhou Army has already gained momentum, so they naturally know how to take sides.
Being able to avoid fighting, still being an official, and even being reused in the future made Yang Zong very satisfied.
After traveling to two states in one day, Qin Huaidao was in a good mood.
After asking Yang Zong several questions about Jingzhou in detail, he asked Xue Rengui to arrange for a group of people to take over the city, and his eyes fell on Qizhou on the map again.
