Bang!

Just when Zhao Zilong and others were killing the city wall, a loud noise was also heard at the city gate, and Yoshino led people to kill in front of the city gate, detonated gunpowder, and tried to blow up the city gate.

Unfortunately, Yoshino soon sent back a Japanese soldier to tell Li Zixiao that the cave in Xuancheng City was sealed with stone bars by Tartars, and they blew open the city gate, and they could not enter the city through the city gate.

"It seems that you can only look at Zilong and Fujino."

After Li Zixiao got the news of Yoshino, he looked at the walls of the Swirling City where the sound of the battle shook the sky, and whispered to himself.

"Kill!"

Zhao Zilong took the lead, and on the wall of Xuancheng, he took the white dragon soldiers to occupy more places, and the white dragon soldiers behind him were able to successfully climb the city wall.

On the city wall, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and although a small number of Tartars fought desperately, they were too few in number.

And the other Aha and Qingzhuang have long been intimidated by the momentum of the White Dragon Army, and they are a little timid.

"Qin Zhen, Yoshino, lead people to kill along the horse road." Zhao Zilong yelled at the two of them.

"Good! You guys come with me. ”

After Qin Zhen heard Zhao Zilong's order, he beckoned a few white dragon soldiers next to him and killed them on the nearest horse road.

"Hey, you guys kill me with me." Yoshino also took a group of Japanese soldiers and killed them along another road.

As long as the enemies in the city are killed along the horse road and the horse road is opened, the white dragon soldiers who have climbed the city wall will be able to successfully enter the city of Xuancheng.

The shouting and killing in the city has not stopped since the morning, and it was not until after noon that the shouting and killing in the city gradually subsided.

A blood-stained white dragon soldier retreated from the wall of Xuancheng, came to Li Zixiao outside the city, and knelt down and said, "General Qiqi, General Zhao asked his subordinates to report, and Xuancheng was defeated."

General Zhao is in the city, leading people to clear the remnants of the Tartars, but the gate of the Xuancheng City is sealed by the Tartars with stone strips, and we are organizing people to clean up, and we should be able to open it soon. ”

"Well, I'm not in a hurry to enter the city, you go back and tell Zhao Zilong and tell him to clean up everything, don't leave the remnants behind, go."

After Li Zixiao heard the news that Xuancheng had been conquered, he had a faint smile on his face, not too surprised.

After all, from the moment he defeated Ilgen Jue Luo Doro, the result at this time was already doomed.

"Yes."

An hour later, the gate hole of the city was finally cleared, and Li Zixiao entered the city.

During this time, Zhao Zilong was wantonly arresting Tartars in Xuancheng, as long as it was a Tartar soldier, all of them would be executed after being caught.

The Tartars' Ahmen, the young men who had been coerced by the Tartars to go to the city wall, were captured by the White Dragon Army, and Zhao Zilong ordered them to be temporarily imprisoned.

And what Zhao Zilong focuses on is to deal with those Tartar people in the city, as for the standard for dealing with this kind of Tartar people, Zhao Zilong also knows.

Immediately, they confiscated the government offices, warehouses, money vaults and other official yamen in the city, and at the same time, every Tartar family in the city did not escape the fate of being confiscated.

These Tartars were the richest in the city on weekdays, and they gained a lot of things by confiscating them.

Even, Zhao Zilong will send people to learn from the mouths of the ordinary people in the city about some hardcore traitor businessmen and families who follow the Tartars to act as tigers and oppress the people on weekdays, which are also the targets of the White Dragon Army's raids.

The only people who let the White Dragon Army not commit any crimes were the ordinary people with the largest number in the city, and they were the ones the White Dragon Army was trying to gain support.

It can be said that Zhao Zilong completely followed Li Zixiao's orders, and in addition to not dealing with the ordinary people in the city, he scraped a layer of ground in the entire Xuancheng.

As a result, Zhao Zilong seized a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, grain, cloth, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep and other materials in Xuancheng.

This time, the reason why Li Zixiao let Zhao Zilong attack so ruthlessly, on the one hand, this is an enemy territory, so there is no need to think too much, anyway, Li Zixiao has no intention of staying here to rule.

What should be destroyed will be destroyed, and what should be paid will be cleared, as long as more money, food, livestock, and materials can be obtained.

Because next, if Li Zixiao wants to implement it smoothly, his plan to relocate the people on this land will require a lot of money, grain and livestock.

If Li Zixiao doesn't want to relocate the people this time and make the people here resentful, he must come up with the conditions to impress them and supplement them.

Only then will these people go with you, otherwise these people will definitely be willing to remain outside the pass and accept the rule of the Tartars.

Because what these people want is very simple and practical, they just want to live a good life.

They also have a family to support, and it is impossible for them to obediently leave their homes and follow Li Zixiao just because Li Zixiao shouted 'Daming people'.

For these people at the bottom, in fact, it doesn't make much difference whether they are the people of the Ming Dynasty or the obedient people of the Tartars.

They will always be ruled, as long as anyone can make them live a better life, they don't care about the government, whether it is a Tartar or a Ming.

Of course, if they can live a good life in Daming, of course they will not be willing to go outside the gate to be slaves for the Tartars, after all, they still have the blood of the Han people on their bodies.

Although Li Zixiao can also give an order for the White Dragon Army to forcibly relocate these people outside the Guan, in that case, he will lose his reputation and lose the hearts of the people.

Some people will say that what is the use of the people's heart, the fist is the last word.

The Tartars burned and looted all the way, and in the end, many of the Ming people who were plundered to the outside of the customs had a deep blood feud with the Tartars, and they were not the same as obediently being slaves to the Tartars!

In this regard, Li Zixiao could only smile, the Tatar mouse was blind, so he couldn't follow suit.

And you can't take a chance success and take it as an eternal truth.

The success of the tyrannical rule of the Tartars can only be said to be the times that created his success.

If it weren't for the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would have rotted to the roots, and Tatar would probably have been like his ancestors hundreds of years ago, and he would have been wanted to enter the customs all his life.

The people did not oppose it, because no one provided him with this opportunity, and the probability of success of 'those who win the hearts of the people to win the world' is far greater than the chance probability of tyrannical rule.

Therefore, if Li Zixiao wants to use forced relocation, it can only be on a small scale and target a small number of people.

As for the vast majority of the people, Li Zixiao had already decided to adopt the method of relocating the people when he was in Ruzhou, and promised to compensate.

On the one hand, the scene gave these people some sweetness, and at the same time drew a big pie for them, so that they could see better hope.

Previous experience told Li Zixiao that this method was undoubtedly feasible, so Li Zixiao at this time needed a lot of money, grain, livestock, etc.

All this, anyway, Li Zixiao didn't plan to pay a penny, the wool came out of the sheep, anyway, they were in the enemy territory at this time, so they just learned from the Tartars to rob them.

After snatching back money, grain, livestock and other materials from the Tartars, they will be distributed to the people so that they can move willingly.

As long as these people complete the migration, after arriving on Tamna Island, within a few years, the value created by these people for Li Zixiao will far exceed his efforts.

These people are like a chicken that lays eggs, and all he paid was chicken feed.

After Li Zixiao entered the city, he saw that there were still fires burning in many places in the city, and it seemed that Zhao Zilong's raid and seizure in the city was not smooth sailing.

Not everyone is willing to give up their glory and wealth, and rebellion is inevitable.

"You take people to support Zilong, quell all the resistance in the city as soon as possible, extinguish the fire, and don't cause too much panic."

Li Zixiao said to several White Dragon Army generals next to him.

"Yes!"

Immediately, these generals of the White Dragon Army took people to support Zhao Zilong.

"Zilong, Xuancheng has been defeated, and the next thing is the migration of the people, let Zhao Teng cooperate with you."

Li Zixiao summoned Zhao Zilong, Zhao Teng and other generals of the White Dragon Army to arrange the following work for them.

"Yes. General, I can't do such a tedious job of migrating the people, so I'd better continue to lead the troops out to fight the autumn breeze. ”

After Zhao Zilong heard Li Zixiao's order, he also said with a smile.

"Well, it's okay, you should be careful when you take the troops out, there are no large Tartar troops in this area, but there are still small forces.

You go out with your troops, choose more villages as soon as possible, if you can take down the city of Tartar, it is better, if you can't fight it, I won't force it, after all, I won't give you too many troops. ”

"Yes, don't worry, General, I will do what I can."

It took a few days for Li Zixiao to gather more than 20,000 people in Xuancheng and four or five thousand people from the surrounding villages.

Fortunately, the population in Xuancheng is not very large, coupled with the identity of the White Dragon Army and the Ming Army, Li Zixiao made promises such as 'go home and divide the land'.

And the people who move from every family can be replenished with money and silver immediately.

Li Zixiao's seized money and silver were not enough, so he used livestock, cloth and other materials to cover it.

Anyway, it took four full days, and Li Zixiao finally completed the gathering of all the people around Xuancheng, and then began to migrate in the direction of Zhenjiang Fort.

Before leaving, Li Zixiao did not forget to order, burned the entire Xuancheng, burned the city, and sent soldiers to destroy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city.

At this time, it was already spring, and the crops planted by the people had already grown seedlings, but they were all destroyed by Li Zixiao's order.

Li Zixiao would not leave these crops for the tartars, and he didn't know if he could stay outside the gate until summer, he didn't have time to harvest the grain when the time came.

For the sake of these crops alone, many people in Xuancheng did not agree to move away at first, but in the end, Li Zixiao personally came forward to make a three-year tax exemption promise, and the people accepted it.

At the beginning of June, Li Zixiao asked Zhao Teng to take 500 Bailong soldiers and organize more than 25,000 people to move to Zhenjiang.

And left Lao Zixiao with more than 2,000 men and horses except for the guard battalion, allowing him to continue to fight alone and control the fighters by himself.

At this time, Li Zixiao took Quartz's guard battalion and rushed north to Phoenix.

Because, Li Zixiao received the news sent by Luo Chao yesterday, and after they successfully laid down the soup station, they sent troops to Phoenix City.

Before the city of Phoenix could be defeated, they were attacked by a Tartar cavalry from the north, but fortunately he found it in time and organized an effective defense, so he was not defeated by this sudden appearance of the Tartar cavalry.

According to Luo Chao's report, there are about 3,000 Tatar cavalry, although there are not many of them, but they are all Tatar cavalry, and there is not a single Ahha.

It was precisely because of this that the attack, with only 3,000 Tartar cavalry, cost Luo Chao five or six hundred casualties, which was more than twice the casualties he had suffered in the previous Tang Station.

And the Tartar corpses they left behind, but only about forty corpses, this battle can be regarded as the first defeat of the White Dragon Army since it entered the Guanwai, and it is also the battle with the largest disparity between the two sides.

This Tartar cavalry is full of horses and comes and goes like the wind, but it is a pity that Li Zixiao left most of Luo Chao's cavalry of the 'Flying Eagle Battalion' in Zhenjiang Fort before.

This time, Luo Chao mainly brought the infantry army, and at this time, Luo Chao was pinned down under Phoenix City, and he couldn't attack or retreat.

Luo Chao could only send someone to inform Li Zixiao and wait for reinforcements, without cavalry, even if the firearms in Luo Chao's hands were sharp, he could only defend passively.

Once they take the initiative to attack, it will be their nightmare once the formation appears scattered and the Tartar cavalry seizes the opportunity.

In the final analysis, the firearms of the White Dragon Army were indeed effective against the Tartar cavalry, but that could only be established if they set up their formation and waited for the Tartars to attack.

In fact, the initiative has always been in the hands of the Tartars, if they don't attack, no matter how sharp the firearms of the White Dragon Army are, they will not dare to take the initiative to attack the city.

Now this Tartar cavalry has also learned to be obedient, and does not take the initiative to attack the formation of the White Dragon Army, but uses the advantage of their speed to constantly wander around Luo Chao's department.

When Luo Chao saw such a situation, he knew that he couldn't beat Phoenix City this time, so he thought about returning to the Tang Station, stopping and stopping, and only walked a few miles in two days.

The main thing is that they must retreat in defensive formation, and as soon as they move, Tartar cavalry will pop up around them.

At the same time, this is also because of the raid on the Tartars two days ago, which caused Luo Chao's musketeers to suffer a lot of losses, and also blew up several of their artillery.

Otherwise, Luo Chao would not be so passive, he could completely use the musketeers as the core, organize a defensive formation, retreat slowly, or even take the initiative to attack.

These retreat and attack methods that rely on musketeers and gunners as the core, supplemented by sword and shield soldiers on the outside, and cavalry containment, have long been trained.

This is also one of the main tactics that Li Zixiao specially came up with to deal with the Tartar cavalry with the White Dragon Army's infantry army.

The appearance of this pure Tartar spirit cavalry that suddenly appeared in Phoenix City made Li Zixiao realize that the Tartar reinforcements had arrived.

"More than 3,000 Tartar Elite Riders, Huang Taiji, this should be the last force you can mobilize in the rear! You say, if I eat him for you again, will you still have the strength to stop me from running rampant outside the gate? ”

On the way north to support Luo Chao, Li Zixiao couldn't help but think.
