After receiving the letter, Liu Zeqing blushed, he had never encountered such a threat, but this time the threat was real, there was no false words, Su Tiancheng must have done what he said, Zhulian Nine Clans, it means that the entire family is finished, such a blow, Liu Zeqing is really unbearable, even if he thinks crazy, but the entire family does not want to be destroyed, and there is the most important one, his deputy commander-in-chief, deputy general and general, family members should not think about life, If he insists on going his own way, it is likely to lead to the rebellion of his officers.

Liu Zeqing dropped several teacups, and many officers were also waiting outside the house, everyone already knew that if the old and weak women and children on the city wall were in danger, their families should not think that they could survive, and the Jiangning battalion took half a day to wipe out the 40,000 troops who rushed back, and the 60,000 troops in the city, obviously don't think about being able to resist, not to mention such a battle, without reinforcements, the Jiangning battalion can easily attack and finally take Jiaxing City.

When it comes to their own interests, these senior officers can't sit still, they don't want their families to be buried with them, they are soldiers, and it is normal to lose their lives on the battlefield, but their families can't encounter disasters.

By this time, many senior officers had begun to be restless, and there was only one hour to go, if Liu Zeqing blindly insisted, then they would have to stand up and speak.

At three o'clock in the morning, there were already officers who couldn't help it, thinking about rushing into the house, if it wasn't for the personal soldiers to stop them, I'm afraid the situation here would have been chaotic a long time ago, the officers were still a little sensible, someone shouted, begging the marshal to make a decision as soon as possible.

Liu Zeqing in the room understood that the hand he thought of had failed. Completely defeated by Su Tiancheng, to know the current ending of Lu Dao, don't think about resisting for a long time, and think about taking refuge in Su Tiancheng for a long time, maybe this is not the case, there is no regret medicine in this world. Liu Zeqing's idea is impossible to realize, after all, he is a soldier, and he will not die until the Yellow River.

The old and weak women and children on the city walls were quickly withdrawn, and in their place were sergeants armed with steel swords and spears.

Su Tiancheng's face showed a smile, and Fan Jingwen beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, the offensive officially began.

Su Tiancheng didn't want to completely destroy the city wall of Jiaxing City, so the attack of the artillery battalion focused on the direction of the south gate, with a large number of shells. Densely fell in front of the walls and gates of the moat and the south gate......

The siege battle was unusually smooth, Liu Zeqing's first sergeant lost the courage to resist, and the news that 40,000 brothers were wiped out by the Jiangning battalion in half a day was an irreparable blow to them, and they had long lost their morale. Didn't think about resisting anymore, not just them. Even some high-ranking officers had no interest in resisting.

When Li Dingguo led the vanguard to charge, a strange scene appeared, there was no rain of arrows, and there was no decent resistance, and many soldiers quickly rushed into the city. Look at the city walls, most of them are kneeling sergeants.

Li Dingguo secretly screamed bad luck, he was holding back his strength and was ready to continue to fight, but he encountered such a situation. It seems that a happy fight is unlikely.

A large number of Jiangning battalion soldiers entered Jiaxing City and began to control the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the countless sergeants under Liu Zeqing were gathered outside the city, and after putting down the weapons in their hands, they waited for disposal.

According to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, the soldiers began to quickly control the streets and alleys to prevent scoundrels from taking the opportunity to loot, and because the siege battle was too fast, so that when the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion began to control the streets and alleys, some people who did not have time to go home on the streets, or some people who wanted to see the excitement, panicked and fled in all directions.

However, the order in the city soon stabilized, and the common people who closed the doors found that the sergeants who came in did not harass them at all, and some of the shops that did not have time to close, because there was no one to take care of them, these sergeants also specially assigned people to guard the shops, and did not allow others to fish in the water.

Some ordinary people feel strange, as if this battle has nothing to do with them, it should be said that some people in Jiaxing City, have also heard of Su Tiancheng, after all, there are people here to do business in Shandong, but they have not seen it with their own eyes, they can't believe it, there is such a merciful adult in this world, captured the city, do not harass the people, a few days ago, Liu Zeqing's sergeants, like wolves and tigers, in Jiaxing City, have been exploited for a long time.

Some brave young men, or rather young men with a scoundrel character, began to wander out of the streets, and soon a sergeant reminded them that the siege was not completely over, and that they should not come out for the time being, but go back to their homes and wait, and that news would come out soon, and that it was not appropriate to wander around the streets in this way, lest they be accidentally injured.

The restaurant, teahouse and green building are basically closed, but there are still a lot of people staying inside, and the news quickly spread in these places, so everyone began to believe that Lord Su Tiancheng really does not harm the people.

Among these people, there are many people's family members, who have been forcibly arrested by Liu Zeqing's sergeants and put on the city wall, at that time, everyone felt that the sky was about to fall, and the family members must not think about life, the army is fighting, and people will take care of these details, what is unexpected is that the family members came back soon, it is said that Lord Su Tiancheng wrote a letter to Liu Zeqing, as for what the letter said, ordinary people cannot know the way, but they can be sure that these family members must have been saved by Lord Su Tiancheng.

From the mouths of the surrendered officers and sergeants, Li Dingguo quickly knew where Liu Zeqing was, and he took 2,000 soldiers and went straight to the place where Liu Zeqing lived, whether he could catch Liu Zeqing or not was related to the final result of this battle, although the siege battle was basically over, but Li Dingguo's most important task was to capture Liu Zeqing, whether he was dead or alive.

When the clear sound of horses' hooves spread in the city, Liu Zeqing's side, except for his own soldiers, there was almost no one else.

What kind of situation will occur in the city, Liu Zeqing is very clear, the sergeant has long lost his fighting spirit, or he has never used his fighting spirit, at this time, he finally understood, thinking of completely using gold and silver treasures to train sergeants, the critical moment is unreliable, the sergeant is fascinated by the silver, I am afraid that he does not want to do anything.

The officers who were still surrounding outside before, after hearing the sound of artillery, all left here, ostensibly to resist, but in fact, what they were going to do, God knows.

After the cannonade stopped, within a few minutes, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Liu Zeqing knew that the city was broken.

This is his shame, and it is unprecedented to break the city so quickly.

As a former famous general, Liu Zeqing felt a complete failure, he lost too badly, he didn't understand, why did he have such a situation, many years ago when he was in Liaodong, when he was in Dengzhou, it was not the situation in front of him, at that time, he dared to fight, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and his head fell off a bowl with a big scar.

Liu Zeqing once thought about going to the city wall to supervise the battle, but finally gave up this decision, he suddenly felt afraid, maybe he went to the city wall, encountered the mutiny of the sergeant, the ending was even more tragic, and he would be insulted when he died.

A few tears fell, Liu Zeqing didn't wipe his tears with his hands, tears were still something he had when he was a child.

Liu Zeqing thought of the words brought by Su Tiancheng's secret envoy, and fought happily, like a soldier, but unfortunately he didn't even make such a simple request, there was no point in escaping, leaving Jiaxing Mansion City, where can he escape to, the 100,000 army is gone, what is he still worth, who will pay attention.

The soldiers around him have been persuading Liu Zeqing to evacuate and take advantage of the chaos to evacuate, but Liu Zeqing did not move.

After the cannonade stopped, Liu Zeqing asked all the soldiers to go out, and he closed the door.

Liu Zeqing is not a scholar, he has been in the army all his life, he didn't think of writing a letter to Su Tiancheng at all, and after the secret envoy came back, he suggested that he write a letter to Su Tiancheng, but Liu Zeqing refused.

The sound of swords colliding outside the courtyard has sounded, and the screams have also begun to appear, and a few familiar screams came, Liu Zeqing could hear it, these are the pro-soldiers around him, the city has been breached, what role can a few pro-soldiers play.

The sound of the fight gradually faded, and the courtyard door was slammed open.

Liu Zeqing knew that the time had come, and he picked up the sword on the table.

When the door was knocked open, Liu Zeqing had already pulled out his sword.

It was Li Dingguo and others who came in.

Liu Zeqing looked at Li Dingguo and the others, and spoke expressionlessly.

"I am Liu Zeqing, I know what Su Tiancheng means, that is, I am thinking about my head, to deter those who dare to fight and resist him, I have failed, I am a king and a loser, I don't need you to do it, I will finish it myself, but please tell Su Tiancheng, don't hurt my family."

After speaking, Liu Zeqing put the sword on his neck and slashed hard......

The prefect and other officials of Jiaxing Prefecture were all captured alive.

Hearing the news of Liu Zeqing's suicide, Su Tiancheng sighed slightly, it seems that Liu Zeqing still retains the nature of a soldier, and in the case of knowing that there is no way to live, he would rather commit suicide than be captured and be humiliated, which is much stronger than those who shout righteousness in their mouths, and those who defect immediately after being captured.

Su Tiancheng asked for Liu Zeqing to be buried and not to harass Liu Zeqing's family, as for saying that Liu Zeqing looted so much wealth, leaving half for Liu Zeqing's family to live on, and confiscating the rest, it should be said that Su Tiancheng made this decision, which is enough for Liu Zeqing's family to live a good life, Liu Zeqing has accumulated so much wealth, it can be regarded as a rich country, and his family relies on this wealth to become a rich man There is no problem.

Su Tiancheng knew that in fact, Liu Zeqing apologized for his sin with death, I am afraid that there is also this meaning in it, he doesn't want to hold the dead accountable, or leave Liu Zeqing a trace of dignity. (To be continued......)
