Under the Xuanjiang Pass, the water dragon flies, and the strange screams are bursting, and at first glance I thought it was the minority people who were celebrating the Songkran Festival.

If you look closely, you will find that things are far from being so joyful, at least for Wu Yue, the guerrilla general guarding the pass;

The Qin army sprayed not only water dragons on the city, but also arrows in the sky, as well as men and horses that kept rushing up along the ladder.

Wu had 800 men to guard the pass in March, but after four days of fighting, 273 people were killed or wounded, and now there are only about 500 soldiers available. And Ma Liuliang, together with Chen Guimin, the deputy envoy of Guizhou who surrendered, had 4,000 people.

The Qin army braved the water dragon to tackle the key problems, and naturally it was inevitable that they would be poured through, but people could immediately change a group of people to come up, and those who were wet went back to the camp to change clothes and drink ginger soup.

The defenders, who were also doused like chickens in soup, could not do it, their numbers were too small, and it was not enough to go all in, and there was no one to change at all.

The water dragon stopped, but the Qin army's battle to attack the fortified positions became more and more violent, the war drums rumbled, waves of arrows rained, and whistling bullets shrouded the city, and groups of soldiers rushed up along the ladder with iron shields.

The defenders at the gate were wet, their lips blackened, their teeth fighting, and their whole body trembling, how long could they hold out in this situation? After the Qin army stormed a pillar of incense, the defenders, who were about to freeze, collapsed.

Ma Liuliang attacked the Qijiang Pass for four days and failed to get down, but he couldn't hold on to a pillar of incense under the water dragon, which no one expected.

Thousands of "soldiers and bandits" brandished knives and guns, screamed, and soon occupied the city. Including Wu March, more than 400 people were captured.

Tang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this. I drank the decoction that had just been boiled, and I didn't care about the soup, and immediately put on a big coat after drinking the medicine and rushed to say that Wu was in March. The situation in Guizhou is precarious. The army's heart is fluctuating, at this time, Wu March can still hold on for four days, if it weren't for Ma Liuliang's strange move, he can hold on longer, from this point of view, Wu March is really a rare general.

When Ma Liuliang saw him come out, he didn't care about him spraying his snot on his face. Hehe smiled: "Sour Xiucai, it's good that you're not dead, Lao Tzu has locked up the shackles." The rest is up to you. By the way, Sour Xiucai, you spray my snot on my face and it's not over! ”

"Oops, General Ma. As the saying goes, those who achieve great things are not informal. I also made an unintentional mistake."

"Don't fucking fart, how much snot you spray me, you owe me as many jars of good wine as you want, and it's cheap for you."

Tang Yue really wanted to ask how much snot I sprayed you, so that this guy would not continue to blackmail this matter in the future.

It's just that if he dragged it again, Wu March was probably frozen, "Okay, okay, I owe you ten jars of wine." After speaking, Tang Yue was going to persuade him to surrender.

Ma Liuliang grabbed him and said, "Sour Xiucai." Don't be busy, you can go and surrender those soldiers. Wu March, don't be busy. ”

"What's going on?"

"What's going on? What's going on, you ask? Lao Tzu lost 200 brothers under the Qi Jiang Pass, all caused by this son of a bitch's refusal to surrender, and now Lao Tzu has finally broken through the pass, how can he spare his life again. ”

"General Ma, you killed him?"

"That's right, I cut off my head with my own hands, what can you do with Sour Xiucai?"

The heads are all cut off, what else can be done?

Tang Yue smiled bitterly and gave up. Thinking about it, in fact, it is not bad for Ma Liuliang to cut people down, Wu Sanzhi will not surrender until death, if he blindly adopts a gentle strategy, it will not work without some bloody deterrence.

It is the east gate of Guiyang Mansion, it is only a few dozen miles away from Guiyang City, it is lost, there is no obstacle in the east of Guiyang, and thousands of men and horses are in Guiyang City early the next morning.

The great river from the west bypassed the south gate from the south of the city and went north from the east of the city; Another river flowed from north to south along the city walls from the west of the city; Another river runs through the city...... Surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by high mountains, there are teaching fields and government schools outside the north gate of the city, there are city god temples, propaganda and consolation divisions, drum towers in the north gate, and the political division, the avant-garde, the military gate, the procuratorate, the tribute courtyard, the judicial division, the capital division and other yamen are distributed in the city. This is Guiyang City!

Ming Hongwu fifteen years to build the inner city of Guiyang, around nine miles and seven minutes, build five city gates: the east name Wusheng Gate, the south is called Chaojing Gate, the west is called Shengquan Gate, the north is Rouyuan Gate, the second south is called Dehua Gate.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), Zhang Heming, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, added more than 600 zhang of the outer city outside the north gate, and set up four gates: Weiqing Gate, Liuguang Gate, Hongbian Gate and Xiaodong Gate.

After the expansion, the circumference of the Guiyang city wall is nearly seventeen miles, and it is tall and majestic, with six two or three or four thousand people and horses, and wants to break the city by force, one word: difficult!

Chen Guimin, the former deputy commander of Guizhou, took the initiative to ask Ying to enter the city to persuade him to surrender, Ma Liuliang didn't care, Tang Yue couldn't ask for it.

Chen Guimin entered Guiyang City in a hanging basket put down at the head of the city, and the reason why it was so smooth was because he and Chen Ruizheng, the commander of Guizhou, were from his own family, and he had also worshiped him in private.

The Qin army approached the city, and the hearts of the thousands of defenders in the city fluctuated, and they could not live in fear. The shops on the street are closed, pedestrians are sparse, and occasionally a few pedestrians are in a hurry. The cold wind swept the fallen leaves, and the city was deserted.

The general Qian Zhan, who took Chen Guimin to the capital, had a flickering look in his eyes, and asked Chen Guimin hesitantly: "General Chen, Qin Army, Qin Army, Qin Army"

Chen Guimin smiled slightly: "You can ask whatever you want?" ”

"General, if we are subordinate, I mean if, if we open the city and surrender, what will the Qin army do to us?"

"Don't worry, as long as you are sincerely attached, the Qin army will treat everyone well, the Qin army has strict military laws, never burns and loots, and will not hurt the innocent. If you want to continue to serve in the army, Daqin will keep your establishment, and if you don't want to join the army, it will give you land and let you return to farming. In short, it is the general trend for Great Qin to dominate the world, and whoever tries to resist again will only bring about his own destruction. ”

"General Chen, the little one wants to follow you"

“”

The two chatted quietly for a while, and Chen Guimin promised Qian Zhan some benefits and asked him to promote Qin Jun's policies. Qian Zhan repeatedly promised that he would do so.

The hearts of the soldiers in the city are like this, and Chen Guimin is more sure of this trip in his heart.

In the Yamen of the Dusi Division, there was a gloomy talk at this time, according to the inspector Zhang Yao and the commander Chen Rui sat opposite each other, and there was half a pot of residual wine on each of the small tables, and the two of them had a bit of a taste of borrowing wine to drown their sorrows.

After receiving the soldiers from outside and reporting that Chen Guimin had brought them, the two of them withdrew their wine and food, dressed properly, and asked Chen Guimin to be brought in.

As soon as Chen Guimin entered the door, Chen Ruizheng immediately got up and shouted loudly: "Chen Guimin, in vain, I will rely on you as your right-hand man and let you garrison Pingxi Guard, you actually defected to the enemy in battle, and now, you still have the face to see the general!" ”

Chen Ruizheng's reaction was beyond Chen Guimin's expectations, but looking closely at Chen Ruizheng's gaze, Chen Guimin knew that he was just bluffing.

He clenched his fists and replied: "General Chen Mingjian, the last general stationed in Pingxiwei, has done his best, I did not defect on the spot, I was captured by exhaustion."

General, as the so-called winner of the hearts of the people wins the world, things are now, the general trend of the world has become clear, the king of Qin is ordered by the sky, the people's will, the unification of the world is a foregone conclusion, it is by no means a human can reverse, even the Lu Jian State in eastern Zhejiang is sincerely attached to the Great Qin;

Guizhou has few soldiers and few generals, and people's hearts are fluctuating, and forcibly confronting Great Qin is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and bringing about its own destruction. General Chen, Lord Zhang, and the soldiers and horses of Cui Feng, the general of the Great Qin Expedition to the South, are about to arrive. Shuixi Anrupan has also gathered troops and horses, attacked from all sides, and even broke through Bijie, Qixingguan, Chishui and other guards, and the army was less than 100 miles away from Guiyang.

There were only a few thousand soldiers in Guiyang City, the morale was low, and there was no help, and it was only a matter of time before it fell. Those who know the times are Junjie, General Chen, Lord Zhang, it is still too late to attach to Great Qin, King Qin is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and after attaching to Lord Zhang's position as an inspector, General Chen is only promoted but not demoted.

Lord Zhang, General Chen, both of them are wise people, for the sake of your lives and your families, obeying the mandate of heaven and attaching themselves to Great Qin is the only way out. ”

In fact, all along, Zeng Yicai, the political envoy, insisted on resisting, Chen Ruizheng and Zhang Yao's resistance was not firm, and now there is the army of Qin in the east and Tusi An Rupan in the west. Guiyang is sandwiched between tigers and wolves, and there is almost no possibility of holding it, even if they want to defend it, their soldiers may not be willing to defend it.

Then this is the question of who to turn to, if you choose between Qin and An Rupan, as long as you are not crazy, you will not choose An Rupan.

Zhang Yao and Chen Ruizheng's faces changed, Zhang Yao was relatively bold, and couldn't help but ask: "General Chen, you just said that after attaching to the Qin State, can you take it seriously according to your original position?" ”
