The wooden city gate of Chongzhou City, under the bombardment of dozens of artillery pieces, finally turned into pieces and fell into the city gate hole!

In the blink of an eye, a 'Turk' man waving a Turkic wolf flag rushed out of the city and rushed towards the wilderness to the east of Dalong's military camp.

Liu Mingzhi put down the telescope in his hand and waved to Song Qing: "Instruct the officers and soldiers of the three armies that all weapons except archers are not allowed to be unsheathed. Don't frighten these Turkic soldiers, but they must be prepared to prepare for any unexpected events."

"Got the order!"

"Rong Rong, order your cavalry to take a detour, but don't get close to the Turks. You just need to surround them and prevent them from rushing out."

"Got the order!"

"Cheng Kai, Baoyu, and Han Peng listened to the order. You divided them into separate groups, confiscated their horses and weapons, divided them into three places for custody, and gathered them into the rear army for proper placement. Place them together with yesterday's Turkic prisoners. , freeing up our own troops and letting these soldiers take care of their own wounded soldiers."

"The last general takes command!"

"Tang Ru obeys the order!"

"The general is here!"

"Instruct the Huotou Army to make fire and cook food for these Turkic soldiers. Remember not to abuse or beat them, but the amount of food they eat cannot exceed one-third of our own soldiers."

"As for humans, if they eat too much, they will inevitably cause trouble. You can't let them eat too much without abusing them!"

"The general understands."

In less than half a day, tens of thousands of Turks rushed out from the two city gates. After leaving the city, the Turks breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the dragon soldiers and horses outside the city really had no intention of attacking them. .

Slowly they gathered towards the 'Turks' who were leaving the city holding the wolf flag.

People have a herd mentality, and more and more Turks gathered in the wilderness to the east of the military camp. The Turks, who were in their early 11,000s, saw Cheng Kai and the others riding towards him and others with hundreds of soldiers. Only then did he completely believe that Dalong's enemy army really accepted his surrender, instead of deliberately deceiving himself and others to come out of the city to kill him.

"I am under the command of Grand Marshal Liu Mingzhi of the army in the middle of Dalong Road, and General Cheng Kai of the trapped army. Congratulations to you for choosing a way to survive by abandoning darkness and turning to the light!"

"Now, I, the general, order you to stand up, dismount, put down your swords, and form a spontaneous formation. I, the general, accept your surrender on behalf of the commander-in-chief, Liu Mingzhi!"

"Now you listen to me, General..."

The personal guards around Cheng Kai who knew Turkic language held up their flags and rode up to attack, repeating Cheng Kai's words just now.

After a long time, when the first 'Turk' dismounted and put down his weapon, more than 10,000 Turks followed suit.

As the sun rose high in the sky, Cheng Kai and others commanded more than 10,000 surrendered Turkic soldiers to assemble in three groups towards the rear army. These more than 10,000 Turkic soldiers were not noticed, and hundreds of brothers escaped quietly. The team hid towards the military camp.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, all the Turkic soldiers have been arranged according to your order. There are a total of 11,622 soldiers."

Liu Mingzhi took the military register handed over by Song Qing, glanced at it, and threw it on the table aside, his brows twitching slightly.

"There are more than 11,000 people. It seems that there are still several thousand determined Turks who have not left the city to surrender!"

"It doesn't matter, the opportunity has been given to them. I can't stop people who are looking for death!"

One after another, all the generals rushed back and gathered around Young Master Liu.

"What do you think of the expressions of Bai Shan Guan and the others at Wo Chi Tai in the city now?"

"You should be furious!"

"The general guesses that he is furious."

"Maybe it's like mourning a heir."

Liu Mingzhi chuckled and picked up the flag on the table and held it in his hand.

"Jiang Lei!"

"The general is here!"

"The original plan was to bombard Chongzhou."

"I have to order the general to retire."

"Everyone will obey the order."

"We obey orders!"

"The sound of artillery is over, leaving 10,000 cavalry to guard the Turkic soldiers, while the remaining troops attack the city!"

"Got the order!"

In Chongzhou City, the expressions of Baishan Guan, Wo Chitai and other generals were exactly as Cheng Kai and the others said. They all looked at the main street where only a few thousand Turkic soldiers and horses were left, as if they were mourning for their heirs.

"General Wo Chitai, what is going on? Why did it happen in just half a day..."

Wo Chitai glanced feebly at the remaining few thousand Turks, whose eyes were firm but could not block the panic, and sighed heavily.

"The army is defeated like a mountain. How can Wo Chitai have the dignity to meet the Great Khan!"

"Why don't you order the execution of those who are cowardly, fearful of death, and deceive others with their monstrous talk?"

"When hundreds of people came out, I didn't have time to react. The morale of the brothers was already unstable. Anyone who took the lead would cause chaos. What's more, hundreds of people came out at once. In just half a day... ....."

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The roar of artillery suddenly sounded outside the city, which shocked the others, who were originally in a low mood, and subconsciously looked outside the city.

There were no soldiers and horses on the city wall. How could Dalong's enemy army waste artillery shells on Chongzhou City?

However, before they could think about it carefully, the explosions around them told them a stark fact.

Dalong's artillery was not bombarding the city wall, but bombarding the soldiers and horses in Chongzhou City.

Bai Shanguan watched in astonishment at the soldiers running around looking for shelter from the artillery fire. He fixed his eyes on the civilian courtyard where the flames shot into the sky after the explosion and trembled.

"How dare Liu Mingzhi...how dare he...doesn't he care about the lives of tens of thousands of Dalong people in the city?"

"Brother Baishan, Liu Mingzhi never plays his cards according to common sense. Don't worry about it now. Let's quickly organize the soldiers. If you run around like this, I don't know how many people will die in vain!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's organize the soldiers to avoid the artillery fire first!"

"Generals, obey the order!"

"We obey orders!"

"Hurry up and gather your brothers under your command, tell them not to run around, follow your orders to avoid the artillery fire, and prepare to defend the city as soon as the artillery fire stops. Liu Mingzhi is crazy, he is crazy!"

"We'll have to wait..."

"Rumble..."

"Kill!"

The roaring sound of artillery could not cover up the sudden sound of war drums outside the city and the sound of killing people rushing into the sky. The sound of hundreds of thousands of men had already drowned out the explosion of hundreds of artillery pieces.

Bai Shanguan's tiger body trembled, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Our own soldiers in the city were torn apart by the bombardment of artillery fire. Before they had time to unite to defend the city, more than 100,000 dragon soldiers and horses who had already been deployed rushed in. Bai Shanguan knew the result without even thinking about it.

I never thought that Liu Mingzhi would extend the artillery fire into the city wall, let alone that he would seize the opportunity so accurately.

When the first willow flag rushed into the city gate, the artillery outside the city suddenly stopped firing, leaving only the killing shouts of the dragon soldiers.

More than 40,000 soldiers and horses who were bombarded by artillery were running around without any formation. Facing more than 100,000 soldiers and horses who had been prepared for a long time, the outcome of the war could be imagined.

The sun rising in the sky gradually turned into the setting sun.

There were loud shouts of people surrendering their weapons and refusing to kill, and the big dragon flag and the handsome Liu flag were hung again on Chongzhou City.

Song Qing Cheng Kai and others held bloody swords and looked at Bai Shanguan and other generals who were tightly tied up with ropes. They looked up at the flags flying in the wind on the city wall and looked at each other.

Take Chongzhou back so easily? I always feel like I haven’t exerted any energy, so why did I take Chongzhou back in a daze?

Outside the city, Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up and walked towards his mount, glancing at Du Yu and others who were smiling happily.

"Command brothers, break up camp and enter the city!"

"Take orders!"

Gumo Rongrong followed closely behind. After getting on the horse, the look of confusion on Gumo Rongrong's pretty face was self-evident.

"Commander...Brother Liu, the Jin Guo Fei Xiong Guards in the city must have had 40,000 soldiers, and they were all elite troops. They captured the city in just half a day. How does Rongrong feel? It’s like a dream!”

"Even 40,000 pigs would take a day to kill!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Gu Mo Rongrong with a faint smile, and tapped his chest with his finger.

"understand?"

Gumo Rongrong lowered her head and pondered for a moment and looked at Young Master Liu with a clear understanding.

"Brother is talking about the human heart?"

"Of course!"

"A military defeat is like a mountain falling, and the remaining troops are at an end."

"Others kill you easily, but you have no power to fight back. No one wants to die in vain even though they know there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Except for Duan Can'an and those fools and idiots who broke the Lu Army, if there is an afterlife, I will have to train them to death!"

"Damn it, we promised to live and die together, but they are so stupid and don't keep their word!"

"You villain! You don't keep your word!"

Aunt Mo Rongrong was startled, and saw the way Young Master Liu was cursing, but his eyes were flashing with the mist of the setting sun. She immediately understood that although Young Master Liu was cursing Duan Can't bear them, he felt the worst in his heart. one person.

Perhaps only Liu Mingzhi knows how much sorrow and pain he feels in his heart!

Liu Mingzhi raised the wine bag on his horse and took a swig.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how happy we are. We can retake the city in four days. At least my brother doesn't have to smash it and make it a feast for you!"

Aunt Mo Rongrong looked at Mr. Liu blankly and nodded in understanding.

"That's not right. Brother Song quietly told me that day that if Rongrong wants to eat it, it doesn't have to be made into a side dish. He also said that Rongrong is the only brother in the army who has the honor to eat it from you."

Gumo Rongrong smacked her lips a few times, rubbed her white teeth, and looked at Young Master Liu in confusion.

"Did we, the people from the Western Regions, all turn into man-eating demons when it comes to you?"

"Rumors are scary. Rongrong knows it, but this is too scary!"

"It's nothing more than confusing right and wrong!"

"Hangchi......"

"Song Qing, your grandma!"
