Without Li Shen and Li Yan, the 30,000 defenders in Hanzhong City could defend Ye Ming for a while, but they couldn't hold Ye Shaobao I, for two months, Ye Ming's troops were attacking without hurry, but one day two months later, Ye Ming suddenly ordered a fierce attack on the whole front, this round of fierce attack lasted from morning to night, and then the forbidden army collected its troops, and early the next morning, and then continued to attack fiercely.

This offensive lasted for three whole days.

For more than two months, Ye Shaobao prepared I don't know how many siege equipment, the momentum of Hanzhong City has been wiped out in these two months, this round of sudden onslaught, so that Hanzhong was caught off guard, and finally on the evening of the third day, a ram crashed open the gate of Hanzhong, and the dense forbidden army poured into Hanzhong City like ants.

General Ye, who was supervising the battle from afar, looked like a torch, put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and clenched his fists fiercely.

"The gates are broken!"

"Order, attack with all your might, whoever occupies the Hanzhong General's Mansion in Hanzhong first, will be promoted to the third level, rewarded with ten thousand gold, and awarded the title of military knight!"

Each of these three rewards is enough to make people blush, and under the heavy reward, these forbidden soldiers all have red eyes, and they scream and rush towards the open gate of Hanzhong City.

At night, the Zhengxi Army completely broke through Hanzhong City, and the defenders in the city were either killed or surrendered, and even Meng Qi, the Hanzhong General of the Hanzhong General's Mansion, was tied up and waited for Ye Shaobao to fall.

Originally, this Hanzhong general made an agreement with Li Shen to defend the city for three months, and if he couldn't hold it after three months, he could withdraw from Hanzhong City and withdraw to the southwest hinterland, so as not to be captured, but now that Ye Ming has taken Hanzhong in two months, Meng Qi naturally has nowhere to escape, and he was directly arrested by the forbidden army who killed the red-eyed for glory and wealth.

The riots in Hanzhong City lasted for a whole night, and when it was dark the next morning, General Ye Da led people to officially enter Hanzhong City.

At this time, after two months of attrition, the defenders of Hanzhong City were only about 15,000 people left, and after last night's attrition, only seven or eight thousand people remained, and all of them had surrendered.

In the past two months, General Ye's side has not been completely consumed, after all, the side besieging the city is absolutely at a disadvantage, and in more than two months, nearly 10,000 people under Ye Ming's command have died under the city of Hanzhong, and nearly 10,000 people have lost their combat effectiveness.

However, these casualties are within Ye Ming's estimate, as a general who has led the army for more than ten years, Ye Shaobao's mood did not fluctuate in the slightest, and after instructing the secretary of the army, Shi Shi, to do a good job of statistical pension, Ye Shaobao was dressed in a general's armor and walked into the Hanzhong General's Mansion.

Meng Qi, the general of Hanzhong, was escorted in the lobby to wait for his fate.

This Hanzhong general, who is also a man, has tried to commit suicide several times since he was captured, but because he was tied too strongly, he has never succeeded in committing suicide.

It is worth mentioning here that biting your tongue generally does not die, and even if you bite your tongue off, you will only become a mute with slurred speech.

Of course, it is also possible to die from excessive blood loss.

Under normal circumstances, no one would commit suicide in this way.

Therefore, General Meng Qi did not succeed in dying.

Ye Ming walked into the main hall of the Hanzhong General's Mansion with his hands behind his back and his armor, after he sat on the main seat, he glanced coldly at Meng Qi, who was kneeling down, and waved his hand to the left and right: "Let him speak." ”

Several of Ye Ming's personal soldiers immediately stepped forward and untied the strip of cloth that was strangled on Meng Qi's mouth.

Ye Ming's face was indifferent, and he shouted in a deep voice: "You are the general of Hanzhong appointed by the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and now that the southwest is in turmoil, not only do you not help the imperial court to quell the rebellion, how can you help the rebels and stop the imperial court king?" ”

Meng Qi is a big beard, and he is also a rough man on weekdays, at this time, the Hanzhong general's face was a little pale, but there was no fear, facing General Ye's question, Meng Qi, who was tightly bound, looked indifferent.

"Ye Shaobao, today, Meng Qi only wants to die quickly, and has nothing else to say."

Ye Ming was not very angry, but he was very angry by Meng Qi's words, and he said with a gloomy face: "Why did you help the southwest and help the martyrs?" ”

"In this world, there has never been any loyalty and morality."

General Hanzhong's expression was calm, and he said indifferently: "General Ye is the eldest son of Ye Guogong and one of the generals of the Great Jin Dynasty, so naturally I don't know what we are below. ”

At that time, Li Zhijie was in southern Xinjiang, and he was just supporting the army and respecting himself, but after Li Shen took over southern Xinjiang, he began to gradually divide territory in southern Xinjiang and collect the military and political power in the entire southwest.

Military power is the Pingnan Army, which naturally goes without saying, but according to the original rules, the regime in the southwest is not the turn of the Pingnan Army, but no matter what prefect the imperial court sends and the governor comes, it will only be two results in the end, either obedient or a dead word.

Therefore, for more than ten years, the entire southwest was firmly held by Li Shen, and a general of Hanzhong in a critical place like Meng Qi was even more pinched by Li Shen and couldn't move.

Ye Shaobao glanced at Meng Qi, who was not afraid, and sighed slightly in his heart.

He had heard of the surname Li in the southwest for a long time, but what he heard was not as good as what he saw, and now that he picked it up with his own eyes, Ye Ming could feel how deeply the Li family had left a deep mark on the land of southern Xinjiang.

"Well, it's useless to talk to you more."

Ye Ming waved his hand a little weakly, and said in a deep voice: "Take him down and show him to the public." ”

No matter what hardships Meng Qi has, but betraying the court is betraying the court, and now Li Shen may still have the capital to negotiate with the court, but he Meng Qi has absolutely nothing, no matter whether Ye Ming sympathizes with him or not, he is a dead word.

Now simply kill him, firstly, to make him suffer less, and secondly, to use Meng Qi's head to deter the southwest.

You must know that Hanzhong is just the gateway to the southwest.

Next, we have to fight Yangping Pass, then Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and the three passes have passed, which is the Sword Gate Pass, which is known as the natural danger.

Fighting these passes, with Meng Qi's head, is more useful than any scary inscription.

After dealing with Meng Qi, Ye Ming waved his hand and instructed his subordinates: "Immediately write a letter to the imperial court, tell the imperial court that the southwest is victorious, and start your majesty, my western army has suffered heavy casualties, first, I ask the imperial court to compensate as soon as possible, and second, I ask the imperial court to send someone to take over the affairs of Hanzhong." ”

The clerk nodded and immediately went down to do it.

General Ye thought for a while, then called the captain of the scout battalion who was in charge of listening to the news, and asked, "Where is the headquarters of the Marquis of Jing'an?" ”

The scout lieutenant shook his head and said, "I don't know, the last time the news came, it seemed that they had just passed through the Sky Ridge, but it was really difficult to pass the news there, and we don't know where they went at this time." ”

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Tell Jing'an Hou Li Xin that Hanzhong City is broken. ”

"The rest of the ......"

Ye Ming thought about it, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Let him do it himself." ”

"Yes!"
