Geng Qiang was shocked when he looked at the men, women, and children brought out by the Tianyuan Army. His parents, wives, and children were all among them. When he wanted to break out of the encirclement and escape for his life, he didn't care about the others. Now there was no hope of breaking out. Seeing him again
Dear relatives, I have mixed feelings in my heart.
He shouted sternly at Tang Yin: "Tang Yin, if you touch a hair of theirs, I will cut you into pieces!"
"Haha...haha——" Tang Yin chuckled lightly at first, then laughed on his back. He walked up to an old man and asked the soldiers around him: "Who is he?"
"Sir, he is Geng Qiang's father!" A soldier said with his hands raised.
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded, raised his eyes to look at the old man, and then looked back at Geng Qiang, whose face was flushed. He raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed the old man's neck, and lifted him up with one hand like a chicken.
Got up.
The old man had already grown old, but now he grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air. The old man almost lost his breath and fainted on the spot.
Seeing his father struggling desperately in Tang Yin's hands, Geng Qiang's heart was as sharp as a knife. He roared angrily and tried to rush over. His generals hurriedly grabbed him and said repeatedly: "Sir, please don't be impulsive!" Tang Yin was surrounded by people.
When Geng Qiang, a soldier of the Tianyuan Army, rushed over, he was undoubtedly seeking his own death.
Being grabbed by his subordinates, Geng Qiang could not move. He shouted as if he was crazy: "Tang Yin, how dare you——"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and looked at Geng Qiang with a smile, but he suddenly applied force in his hands. There was a crisp click, and the old man's neck was broken under the tight grip of his five fingers.
His head tilted to the side unnaturally, his eyes widened, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Ah——" Seeing Tang Yin crushing his father's neck, Geng Qiang's vision went dark. He couldn't stand. If it weren't for the generals under his command, he would have to sit on the ground. Tang Yin casually waved his hand and removed the old man's body.
He threw it aside, then pointed at Geng Qiang's family and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Kill! No one will be spared!"
After hearing his order, the Tianyuan soldiers on the left and right drew their sabers one after another, and in front of Geng Qiang, they began to kill and carry out a bloody massacre. Geng Qiang's family members were powerless, and at this time they were all killed.
They were tied up and couldn't even escape. Under the cold light, blood splattered in the field, and screams and desperate wailings could be heard endlessly.
Regardless of whether the opponent was a man or a woman, old or young, an adult or a three-year-old child, the soldiers were not polite at all. In the blink of an eye, they killed them all. The lives of more than thirty people turned into more than thirty in an instant.
There is a corpse with blood splattered three feet. The battlefield is so cruel. There is no humanity here, only hatred.
No matter who it is, when they see their companions who have been together day and night dying tragically at the hands of the enemy, their fragile humanity will be overwhelmed by strong hatred. Therefore, it is easy for a war to break out, but it is not easy to stop it.
Geng Qiang was dumbfounded at this time, and the generals and counselors around him were also dumbfounded. People looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, their eyes were dull, and they were speechless for a long time. Tang Yin looked relaxed, as if the people who died at his feet were not human beings.
, but insignificant beasts. He said with a half-smile: "If you are as stubborn as Geng Qiang, their fate will be the fate of you and your family!"
His understatement made the generals and counselors under Geng Qiang's command shiver, as if they couldn't breathe. They all opened their mouths wide and gasped for air. The viciousness of Tang Yin's methods made them shudder.
Lost the last bit of courage to resist.
One of the counselors swallowed hard and stared straight at Geng Qiang while retreating continuously. After he took five or six steps back, he screamed and ran towards Tang Yin, shouting at the same time: "Surrender!
Mr. Tang, I surrender!"
His shout made Geng Qiang come out of his numbness. Looking at the spineless counselor, he gritted his teeth and shook his hand to throw out the sword.
Swish! Plop!
The sword drew a silver lightning in the air, hitting the counselor in the back of the heart. The force was so strong that the tip of the sword protruded from his chest. The counselor ran forward two more steps, was unable to stand, and fell down.
He died without any breath. After killing the counselor, Geng Qiang roared to the sky like crazy, shook his body, threw everyone around him away, and then rushed towards Tang Yin with a scream like a wild horse escaping from the border.
"Evil thief Tang Yin, I will fight with you -" Geng Qiang rushed to Tang Yin's side, jumped up high, and threw himself at Tang Yin from top to bottom.
"Huh!" Tang Yin snorted. He didn't take the opponent seriously even when he was in full strength. What's more, now that his mind was in a state of confusion, he felt that he was even more vulnerable. Tang Yin turned to one side and then raised his leg.
A side kick, Geng Qiang was the first to strike, but Tang Yin's foot hit him in the abdomen first.
This kick was too heavy. Tang Yin used all his strength. There was a click, and the spiritual armor in Geng Qiang's lower abdomen was shattered. His body falling in mid-air was like a kite with a broken string, flying straight out. Plop! He fell completely.
He flew five meters away before falling to the ground. Before he could get up, he spit out a bloody arrow.
He struggled and wanted to stand up from the ground and continue to fight for Tang Yin. Many Tianyuan soldiers had already swarmed forward and stabbed Geng Qiang's body. In an instant, all the spiritual armor around Geng Qiang's body was stabbed to pieces.
One of the soldiers had a weak hand and aimed a heavy blow at Geng Qiang's neck.
Click!
This knife directly chopped off Geng Qiang's head. The soldier hurriedly leaned over to pick it up. He jumped up in excitement and quickly withdrew from the crowd as if offering a treasure. He rushed to Tang Yin and handed the head over to him, gasping.
: "Sir, Geng Qiang's head is here!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin just responded softly, without even looking, he waved his hand and said: "Hang it on top of the city so that the people in the city can see clearly, this is the fate of being a traitor willingly!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Tang Yin raised his eyes to look at the other generals and counselors, and sneered: "If you are still unwilling to surrender, are you preparing to follow in Geng Qiang's footsteps?"
One sentence made everyone tremble. They looked at each other, slowly put down the weapons in their hands, and threw them to the ground. Then, everyone knelt down, bowed their heads, and said feebly: "We...
surrender……"
"Haha!" Tang Yin laughed. He was quite polite to these people who had no choice but to surrender in the end. He didn't do anything difficult for them. He just ordered the soldiers to feed them the spirit-dispersing pills and temporarily detained them.
Just as the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkey will scatter. Geng Qiang and his generals were completely wiped out by the Tianyuan Army in the governor's mansion. The Peng Army scattered throughout the city also lost the confidence and fighting spirit to resist, and surrendered one after another.
It only took more than two hours from the Tianyuan Army's invasion of the city to the full control of Xibai City. The battle started in the morning and ended at noon. There was not even a sporadic fighting in the city.
The main streets in Xibai City were filled with Tianyuan soldiers. People were cleaning the battlefield quickly and orderly, cleaning up the corpses of Peng soldiers on the streets, and covering up the blood stains with loess.
The county capital was even more lively, soldiers were coming in and out, and the orders of the army leaders were coming one after another. Because too many Peng troops were annihilated here, the corpses could be piled up into dozens of hills if they were put together. So many corpses
, they could only be pulled outside the city and burned.
Tianyuan Army now has very rich combat experience, and the finishing work after occupying the city proceeds quickly and orderly without any panic.
The people in the county capital had long been cleared out and replaced by Tang Yin's personal guards. The hall where Geng Qiang and his men used to discuss military and political affairs was also occupied by counselors and generals from Tang Yin and the Tianyuan Army.
Qiu Zhen took the accounts of the city's bank and grain depots and reported them to Tang Yin one by one. Geng Qiang's family was very rich. Because he wanted to organize a large army in Xibai City to resist Tianyuan's army, Zhong Tian allocated him a large amount of money.
, materials and food and grass. Now that Geng Qiang is dead and Xibaicheng is occupied by Tianyuan Army, these money, materials, food and grass will naturally fall into Tang Yin's hands.
In the silver warehouse in the city, more than two million taels of silver were seized, and the grain and grass stored in the grain warehouse amounted to more than one million dan, which was enough to feed the Tianyuan Army for more than two months. As for the supplies in the military supply warehouse, they were even less numerous.
In addition to large siege equipment, there are also many armors and weapons.
After careful inspection, it can be said that it has been a fruitful harvest. Such a huge amount of food, wages and materials can greatly alleviate the pressure on the three counties of Tianyuan, Nanguan and Jinguang, and also lay a material foundation for the Tianyuan Army to continue moving south.
When Qiu Zhen finished reporting the audited accounts one by one, Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh and said to the people around him: "It seems that Geng Qiang has prepared a long-term confrontation with our army in Xibai City, but he
Unexpectedly, our army occupied Xibai City in just a few days and wiped out all 80,000 rebels under his command!"
"The reason why our army was able to defeat the enemy is thanks to your lord Shenwu, who sneaked into the city unnoticed and created opportunities for our army to break into the city!" Xiao Muqing handed over to Tang Yin and sighed repeatedly. After leaving the battlefield,
He seemed to have changed again, returning to the face of a villain who was good at flattery.
"Haha——" Tang Yin laughed, and accepted Xiao Muqing's bragging with peace of mind. On the battlefield, Xiao Muqing was a good general who led the army, and in private he spoke well. Who could not like such a person?
Seeing Tang Yin smiling happily being praised by Xiao Muqing, the other generals also learned to be wise and said in unison: "My lord is wise, my lord is mighty!"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "All the generals also contributed a lot!"
After a victory, Tang Yin couldn't close his mouth with laughter, and the generals around him were so excited that they forgot everything. Qiu Zhen frowned and said quietly: "The mere West Hundred City is nothing, it is not worth mentioning at all.
, we only attacked this small county town, and our army lost all its troops. There was nothing we could do. If you hadn't ventured into the city and got a fighter plane by chance, we would still be blocked from the city. I don't know what you generals are so excited about.
?!"
Qiu Zhen's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down on everyone's heads, extinguishing most of their enthusiasm.
The smiles on the faces of the generals froze. They looked at each other and lowered their heads.
This was what Qiu Zhen said. If it had been anyone else, someone would have turned against him long ago.
