The snowflakes are still there, and the huge city of Xi'an still stands in the fertile Guanzhong Plain.
However, Xi'an at this time was much different than before.
At the foot of the city of Xi'an, countless soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy. Chariots and horses fell over, flags were broken, and countless weapons were randomly discarded on the ground. It was almost chaos.
"Surrender without killing, surrender without killing -"
Words filled with Shaanxi dialect kept ringing on the battlefield, and more and more invaders surrendered, like a colony of ants.
Zhu Yixi rode a horse and strolled on the battlefield.
At first glance, it looked like a large mass of corpses. Many corpses had been mixed and entangled together, making it almost impossible to separate them.
Although the battle has ended, cleaning up the battlefield still continues.
Since it was just after the war, the entire battlefield was filled with a tragic atmosphere.
Almost every soldier seemed to have been transformed, with bursts of unique murderous aura, especially the firearms battalion, who held their heads high and their chests full of excitement.
"Your Highness——" And many people who were obviously military officers were patrolling continuously, their bodies covered with blood. When they saw King Yu, they shouted loudly, full of confidence.
Many wars have been fought, and no matter how tragic they are, they cannot shake Zhu Yixi's heart, but this big battle is, after all, the biggest war he has ever experienced.
The total number of troops on both sides exceeded 200,000, and they fought from morning to afternoon and almost dusk.
The Chinese army was defeated, and the Chuang army almost formed a chain reaction, especially when the city of Xi'an suddenly changed hands. Thinking of being attacked from both sides, the left and right wings of the Chuang army panicked and were defeated.
At this point, no one can organize a counterattack, they can only run for their lives, desperately.
Li Zicheng, who was kidnapped, did not return to Chang'an, but headed west without his destination.
I don’t dare to gamble anymore!
Zhu Yixi couldn't help but shook her head and smiled: "Breakers still have the nature of bandits, and dogs can't change their eating shit."
Bai Guangen, who was beside King Yu, was full of tangles and didn't know what to say.
Zuo Guangxian, who was on the side, kept hitting him with his elbows, full of desire to survive.
"Your Highness is wise and powerful, and uses troops like a god. The intruders are certainly no match for you!"
Bai Guangen's mouth trembled for a while, and he was so stiff that he flattered him.
Zhu Yixi turned his head and looked at Bai Guangen and others who were following him. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he first joined the Qin Army.
There was a huge difference between the two at that time, and they are also very different now.
Destiny is such a fantasy.
"Don't worry."
Zhu Yixi glanced at the nervous people and softly comforted:
"Since the defeat of Governor Sun, the main strength of the Qin army has been lost. Under such circumstances, it is understandable to surrender to the invaders."
"Furthermore, on the battlefield today, you took the lead in counterattacking and gave the intruder a fatal blow. This is a great achievement. It can be used to wash away the shame."
Hearing this, several people behind him breathed a sigh of relief.
"but--"
Everyone fell into a tense atmosphere again.
"Your troops and horses cannot continue."
King Yu said calmly: "Change is the basis for victory. To be honest, the old, weak, sick and disabled no longer meet the standards of the Ming army. It is necessary to disband and reorganize them."
"How dare you disobey your humble position?"
This time, they were relieved.
Conditional surrender is the most sincere thing.
In this way, after wandering around for a while, it was already dark, and King Yu went straight into the city and returned to the city of Xi'an that he had always dreamed of.
In this war, the frontal battlefield played a major role, but the decisive factor was the change of ownership of the city of Xi'an.
Bai Guangen and others' efforts to change the banner have not had the same effect.
You know, starting from the 16th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng took charge of Xi'an, and it has been two years now.
Not only did a large number of military officers and dignitaries take root in Xi'an, but many ordinary soldiers also started families and careers in Xi'an.
From top to bottom, the Chuang army gradually changed towards the feudal court.
Home, something that was easily abandoned in the past, was destroyed after being possessed again, which dealt a huge blow to the entire army.
Of course, at the critical moment, Li Zicheng made a foolish move and abandoned the city of Xi'an and withdrew his troops westward.
It directly contributed to the collapse of more than 100,000 intruders.
And you must know that even the desperate fighting of the firearms battalion only resulted in the casualties of 10,000 to 20,000 people.
"Your Highness——"
Zhu Meng met the envious eyes of everyone, bowed his hands and said respectfully: "The general will live up to his mission."
"Okay, okay!"
King Yu patted his shoulder hard, his joy was beyond words, and he said loudly:
"You have accomplished extraordinary feats, and I will be greatly rewarded."
Noticing everyone's gaze, he smiled and said:
"In this battle, there are rewards for everyone, and the meritorious service can be eight points——"
"Long live -" The generals had no time to react, and the soldiers at the city gate immediately shouted loudly, their faces flushed with excitement.
There were not many soldiers and horses entering the city. There were only ten thousand people in the barracks. The rest were in the military camp and counting the harvest on the battlefield.
King Yu did not enter the palace of King Qin.
Even though Chen Dong hinted that Li Zicheng's queens, the Gao family and the Dou family, still retain their beauty and charm.
But Zhu Yixi understood that this was not the time to enjoy.
The most important thing is to appease people's hearts.
"Send my military order to impose a night curfew. Any soldiers who take advantage of the situation and violate military discipline will be severely punished by me."
On the way, King Yu gave instructions in a deep voice.
With quick steps, he arrived at his previous home, the former Jinyi Guard Qianhu Residence.
At some point, this place became a warehouse.
Zhu Meng explained: "Perhaps because of the bad luck of Jinyiwei, and because it is far away from the Qin Palace, no one occupied it, and the prisons, large and small, became warehouses for weapons."
"Really?" While walking, Zhu Yixi observed the plants and trees with mixed feelings in her heart.
After a long time, Zhu Meng saw that King Yu was lost in thought, and he couldn't help but say:
"Your Highness, the Heyang County Prince's Mansion is still there, why don't you go take a look?"
"Yeah?"
Zhu Yixi became interested.
Although it is said that he was enshrined by King Heyang, the throne disappeared several generations ago, and he has never lived in Prince Heyang's mansion.
"Let's go and have a look."
The group of people rode horses again and quickly arrived at Prince Heyang's Mansion.
As a sealed palace, it was obviously valued by the generals of the Chu army. It had many maids and slaves and was very popular.
The wives and concubines were as beautiful as flowers, and all of them had melancholy faces, sobbing, and panic written all over their little faces.
Zhu Yixi has gone through many battles and has no regard for these women, and has no intention of kissing them.
"Keep them well guarded!"
Zhu Yixi waved her hand and said, "I will live here tonight and I don't need anyone to serve me."
"By the way, wake me up directly when Li Jingwu, You Shiwei and others come back."
Going straight to the relatively clean study room, Zhu Yixi didn't mind it and directly covered herself with a quilt and fell asleep.
Both the Military Justice Department and the General Staff Department were busy tonight, and he only had to wait for the good news tomorrow.
