【Chapter 484】Victorious capture of Yulin City

Yansui Town, Yulinwei, Yulin City. [No pop-up novel network]

The fierce gunfire has completely disappeared. The rising black plume of smoke has gradually dissipated. The city gates that were blown open and the ruins of the city walls that were blown down were basically cleaned up. The roads to and from the city and beyond, have been cleared. There were constantly cavalry or infantry, or horse-drawn carriages shuttling through the roads.

The bodies of the deceased were all cleaned up and placed in the open field. Of course, the stump and the severed arm will not be collected, it is not so necessary. The injured were sent to Lang Zhong for rescue, if there was any hope of rescue.

On the head of Yulin City, the golden dragon and sword flag fluttered high. Chi Hu stood under the Golden Dragon Dancing Sword Flag, holding a clairvoyant mirror, and looked around with great interest. The first task given to him by Xu Xingxia was finally completed. The next step is to coerce Xi'an Mansion and the officials and troops from Shanxi. Of course, when necessary, it may be necessary to mobilize some troops to rescue Ningxia Town or Gansu Town.

However, according to the news from Gansu Town, the war is going smoothly. The battle report showed that the white-clothed army had taken control of Gulang City and blocked the road from Mo Yuegen's east. If there are no accidents, Mo Yuegen can only go around in the interior of Gansu Town. Speaking of which, this Mo Yuegen is really pitiful. Trapped in the town of Gansu, it is better not to go south at all. In addition to the constant northwest wind at night, what is there in Gansu Town?

Actually, this is nonsense. With Xu Xingxia personally in charge, can the war not go well? More than a year ago, Xu Xingxia was able to make Mo Yuegen suffer, and a year later, the white-clothed army is not what it used to be, and of course he can continue to make Mo Yuegen suffer. Chi Hu felt that his regret was that, he had never met a strong opponent, and he felt that fighting was not enjoyable. The combat effectiveness of the defenders of Yulin City is simply not enough to see! It may be similar to attack Xi'an City in the south.

"Thank you, Lao Gao! Without you, Yulin City can't take it! I have a chance to invite you to drink! Chi Hu held Gao Yingxiang's hand and said loudly.

"It's all my own people, polite, polite." Gao Yingxiang hurriedly said.

In front of Chi Hu, Gao Yingxiang was also fluctuating and difficult to control. Just now, he was holding the fingers of the clairvoyant, and because of excessive excitement, his knuckles were even a little white. It wasn't until he shook hands with Chi Hu that he gradually recovered. Yulin City, the largest military fortress in Yansui Town, finally fell into the hands of the white-clothed army. It's no wonder that Gao Yingxiang was excited. When did he ever think that he would be where he is today? It's too high-eyebrow.

In the past month, Gao Yingxiang has indeed worked hard enough. According to Xu Xingxia's order, the military households that originally crowded around Yulin City were all dismissed, and they all went back to their homes and looked for their mothers. Only the Shooting Army and the Qing Cavalry Army were left to be responsible for the siege. Among them, the Qing cavalry led by Gao Yingxiang is the main force in digging tunnels. In the area around Yulin City, the long-term drought and the geology are very hard, which makes it very difficult to excavate tunnels.

Xu Xingxia was in Ningxia City, and it took less than ten days to dig a tunnel. Chi Hu and Gao Yingxiang were in Yulin City, but it took more than 20 days to dig out the tunnel. Needless to say, all kinds of hardships and dangers in between. Fortunately, all the hard work and adventure have now paid off. With the White Army in control of Yulin City, there is much more room for strategic maneuver. The population and resources under control have also increased dramatically.

It's a pity that after conquering Yulin City, the Qing cavalry army led by Gao Yingxiang was about to leave Yulin City. Xu Xingxia gave him the order to go back to the Black Mountain Battalion as soon as possible and replace all the weapons and equipment with muskets. At the same time, the establishment of the army has also expanded from the original 1,500 to more than 3,000 people. Obviously, it was to be used as the main force.

The military households in Yansui Town were originally relatively brave in battle. This time, the white-clothed army expanded, and the military households in Yansui Town were very active. Around the beginning, more than 10,000 military households joined the White Army. The Qing Cavalry Army, as a pure army composed of military households in Yansui Town, has always wanted to show a hand. This was also specially approved by Xu Xingxia. He also wanted to see how far the combat effectiveness of the Qing cavalry could go after being reloaded with muskets.

"Farewell!"

"There will be a meeting later!"

Chi Hu and Gao Yingxiang stood up and saluted and said goodbye solemnly.

Groups of Qing cavalry soldiers, urging their horses, lined up in a neat line, and walked to the west.

...... "How so?" ”

Xu Dingguo stood in the middle of the captives and muttered to himself. Compared with the winner, Xu Dingguo, as the loser, is quite inadequate. His face, all covered in dirt, looked very ugly. In fact, there is no lack of soil, and his face will be very ugly. He's a veritable defeated general. The clothes on his body were torn in the battle. This was the result of a fierce scuffle between him and the soldiers in white.

Fortunately, before he was killed, he yelled: "I am Xu Dingguo!" Who of you dares to come up! As a result, the soldiers in white who were about to shoot him into a wasp's nest subconsciously let go of their wrenches and lowered their muzzles. A white-clothed officer who came from behind shot Xu Dingguo's hand and knocked out his scimitar. Subsequently, the other white-clothed soldiers rushed up and forcibly captured Xu Dingguo.

Not only was Xu Dingguo captured, but his father was also captured. More than 6,000 people were taken prisoner. Most of them are the main forces guarding Yulin City, and they are all so-called armed soldiers. There are also many dignitaries and magnates who have retreated to Yulin City. However, after being captured, Xu Dingguo only saw himself and his father. The two of them were isolated and isolated from the world. Where the hell the others went, he didn't know. Perhaps, he was killed by the white army. Perhaps, it was killed by angry low-level military households.

Yulin City was breached, and what Xu Dingguo was most afraid of was not the white-clothed army, but the low-level military households who rose up to rebel. He knew that the White Coats had strict discipline and would not kill their captives easily. However, those low-level military households who rose up to rebel were completely different. They have accumulated countless anger, and finally have a chance to turn over, and it would be strange if their anger did not all explode in an instant. What a terrible force!

In fact, this is also true. Now, inside Yulin City, those low-level military households who have taken refuge in the white-clothed army are carrying the musketeers of the white-clothed army, searching their enemies from house to house. As long as it is a military attache above the general flag, all levels of civil officials, even those who are not in the stream, are among their search and arrest. Those local tyrants and inferior gentry who fled to Yulin City from other places were all found out. The open space outside the city was densely packed with people.

These people, the white-clothed army did not deal with them directly, but handed them over to the newly established Yulin City Management Committee to deal with. This is what the White Coats have always done. The committee will hold a public trial to convict these special captives. The members of the committee are all low-level military households from Yulin City. It is estimated that with the anger of the low-level military households, there is basically no hope for these special captives to survive. Their property will also be confiscated.

Although it had been two days since Yulin City was breached, Xu Dingguo still couldn't believe this cruel fact. Locked up in a small black room, the only thing he can do is to constantly introspect and reflect. He really couldn't believe that in less than a month, the white-clothed army had successfully dug tunnels, blown up the city gates, and blew up the city walls. Without the cover of walls and artillery, everything goes without saying.

"Xu Dingguo, come out!" Suddenly, the guard shouted.

Xu Dingguo looked out a little blankly. He didn't know what purpose the white-clothed army had for calling him out. Perhaps, it was the execution of the so-called execution. It is said that none of the high-level leaders who fell into the hands of the white-clothed army survived this time. His father was the deputy chief military officer of Yansui Town. The son of his deputy chief of military officer, there was no reason to survive.

"Whew!" Xu Dingguo took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.

came to the end of his life in this way, which made Xu Dingguo a little unwilling. He's still young. He doesn't want to die yet. He is also an aspiring man. If it weren't for the white-clothed army to make trouble, he would definitely inherit his father's profession and become an excellent guard commander. However, as a man, Xu Dingguo did not say anything begging for mercy. With Xu Xingxia's surname, even if he says it, it is useless. Xu Lao Mo killed, when did you listen to you beg for mercy?

The sky was bright, and Xu Dingguo was escorted to the west gate of Yulin City. Here, Xu Dingguo saw his father, who was also escorted out. Curiously, there was no sign of anyone else. Could it be that the white-clothed army shot once and only shot two people? Impossible! It is said that the white-clothed soldiers were shot in line during the execution, and hundreds of people were killed at a time.

"Xu Dingguo, you should feel lucky!" Suddenly, someone said.

Xu Dingguo looked at the voice a little dazedly, and found that it was Chi Hu, the commander of the Shooting Sound Army, who was subordinate to the White-clothed Army. As the actual commander of the party defending the city, it is impossible for Xu Dingguo not to know Chi Hu. He really didn't expect that Chi Hu would actually appear here! This made Xu Dingguo slightly surprised. Could it be that Chi Hu wants to execute himself personally?

"If it weren't for the chairman who deliberately spared your life, you would have been buried in the rubble! I don't know why the chairman of the committee left you with a surname, but I now warn you that on the road from here to Ningxia City, you should not make trouble, and do not try to escape. Otherwise, you're dead! Chi Hu continued to say solemnly.

"Xu Xingxia? Leave me alive? Xu Dingguo was at a loss. Why did Xu Xingxia spare his life? Could it be that he was going to kill himself with his own hands? Perhaps!
