While Gui Yunzheng was subduing Ma Jun, the attack on the east gate took a lot of effort.
Qi Fei led his troops to the outskirts of the East Gate, when they encountered firm resistance from the East Gate guards. Because they had not received any notification of retreat, the guards at the east gate were really a bit brave and fearless of death.
At the same time, because they were fighting inside the city, they were basically all hand-to-hand. The streets, which were not too wide, were crowded with soldiers from both sides. Although it was not easy for Qi Fei to kill him, they naturally had no way to break out.
But Qi Fei was leading a team for the first time, so he couldn't help but get hot-headed. In addition, he had just stepped down from the west gate, and his momentum was particularly strong. He didn't know "surrounding rather than attacking, attacking the heart first". He just wanted to gnaw this bone in one go. As a result, he spent a lot of money. Despite his strength, many soldiers were broken, and he could only push through half a street.
"This way of fighting is not worth the gain!"
Lu Yida, who had regained his breath, couldn't help but shook his head after Lin Zhijing arrived.
"Well, come on, Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
As soon as Gui Yunzheng left the north gate, the highest officer at this time was Lin Zhijing. He nodded and gave the order.
Soon, the gong sounded, and Qi Fei, covered in blood, quickly led his team back in an orderly manner.
"General Qi, now in Xinye City, only the east gate is left unbroken. There are two generals, Ma Wang, guarding outside the city. They have no way to advance or retreat. In this case, let's go and declare the kindness of King Ying and force them to do so. Just surrender, why bother to attack by force and take the lives of brothers?"
Lin Zhijing's expression was as usual, but there was a bit of reproach in his words.
Qi Fei felt a little ashamed. He was not ignorant of military skills and immediately understood the reason.
"General Lin is right!"
Saying that, he quickly stepped aside.
Lin Zhijing didn't say anything to him and looked at Lu Yida.
"General Lu, make arrangements to guard all exits and send people to persuade them to surrender! Tell them that those who surrender will be spared death. Regardless of their past mistakes, those who are willing to go home can go home. But if you still insist on resisting, don't blame us. They are ruthless!”
"promise!"
Lu Yida responded and immediately sent a sergeant to convey the order.
Not long after, ten masters led by Xie Laosan, holding letters of persuasion to surrender, walked proudly to the east gate guard among the swords, guns, swords and halberds, and in the eyes of the sergeants with fear and hatred.
"General Fu, your horse has escaped from the north gate. It is expected that we will capture it. Outside the city, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of General Wang Liang waiting for you. Why should you persist in such a situation? Aren’t these soldiers from the east gate your brothers?”
As soon as Xie Laosan opened his mouth, he talked about the righteousness of the world.
Yes, if they are brothers, you have to take care of them. If they are brothers, you can't let them bury you with you.
This General Fu, whose surname is Fu and whose given name is Tianju, is Ma Jun's brother-in-law and a die-hard loyalist. Doesn’t he know the current situation? Since the west gate was broken and Ma Jun was nowhere to be seen, it was obvious that he would either die or escape. In this case, do you still want to persist?
"well……"
With a long sigh, Fu Tianju felt that his breath had been released.
"That's it, that's all, surrender!"
After muttering this sentence, Fu Tianju took off his saber.
"Okay, General Fu is indeed a man who understands current affairs!"
Xie Laosan cheered loudly and hugged Fu Tianju. The persuasion to surrender went so smoothly, which really surprised him.
In fact, it is understandable.
Think about it, the generals have all fled, and the people below have no reason to persist no matter what.
Furthermore, in the fierce battle ahead, Qi Fei's damage to their side was also shocking. Even if they don't surrender, he can't hold on. What's more, we have to face attacks from two sides?
When it’s time to bow your head, you have to bow your head!
"Come on, General Fu, come with me to see the King of England!"
Xie Laosan picked up Fu Tianju, laughed loudly, and walked out with big steps.
