In the backyard of the Beixi County Yamen, the general on horseback was walking back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back. Finally, he saw his messenger coming to report, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"How is the war in Pingnan County?"
Judging from the time, the fighting should have started by now. The cavalry general was afraid that the siege would be brutal and his military strength would be exhausted.
The herald had a strange look on his face: "Return...report to the general, the war is over and the city gate has been breached."
As soon as these words came out, the cavalry general was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What? It's over?"
The battle started at noon, and only four hours had passed before Qin Feng captured Pingnan County? How can this be!
A chariot and cavalry general has witnessed numerous brutal battles throughout his life. Even if he must assemble superior forces to attack a dangerous city, it would take at least a day and a night. After all, in addition to battles, he also has to deal with street fighting. And it only took Qin Feng four hours to break through the city gate and capture Pingnan County?
This is tantamount to refreshing the knowledge of the cavalry general.
But when he recalled that Qin Feng had directly entered his camp and established his power with an iron fist, the chariot general couldn't help but sigh.
"The saint sent Qin Feng to quell the chaos. Naturally, he trusted Qin Feng. It is not impossible to destroy the city in this way. After all, Qin Feng has always been full of tricks."
What the chariot general cares most about is not the life and death of Pingnan County, but the army under his command: "How many soldiers and horses were lost? Did any of the generals die in battle?"
The herald hesitated again and again, but gritted his teeth and said: "Reply to the general, from the soldier to the lieutenant, there are a total of three casualties."
"And these three people were beaten to death by the mob when they entered the city."
The cavalry general was completely shocked and could not speak for a long time.
The herald is not much better. He has been delivering military reports for half his life. Where has such incredible military information been conveyed?
"General, Qin Feng... described the suppression of thieves in Pingnan County as... milking a cow. If it weren't for the pressure from many parties, he would be too lazy to come to the north in person and just send Xu Mo or Wu Wei to Pingnan County. The county rebels were wiped out."
Milking the cow…
The cavalry general woke up from a dream and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I understand. Qin Feng mobilized my army not to attack the city, but to besiege the county and put pressure on it from all sides to cause civil strife. Before Qin Feng came, he must have checked the military report of the Ministry of War to know the troops of all parties. None of them have any suspicion of rebellion, so it is expected that Huang Cheng's army is composed of civilians and bandits who have no fighting qualities at all."
"The army puts a little pressure on the city, and the morale of the city's troops is on the verge of collapse. They spread rumors to make them mutiny, and finally create a hole for the rebels to escape, give up their desperate resistance, lay ambushes on the escape route, and annihilate them in batches..."
Speaking of this, the cavalry general looked at the messenger with a look of fear or admiration: "If I guess correctly, the city gate was not breached at all, right?"
The messenger nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Huang Cheng's counselors saw that the situation was over, so they led their personal guards to defect before the battle, attacked and killed Huang Cheng, cut off his head, and sent him out of the city to surrender before Qin Feng."
Hearing this, General Chariot and Cavalry raised his eyebrows: "What's the result? As far as I know, Qin Feng is the most emotional person. He can cause trouble in the world for a little maid. Did the rebels take the initiative to surrender and surrender? Did they receive any preferential treatment? "
The ordering soldier swallowed his saliva: "Kill them all."
"Since Qin Feng entered the city, he sent people to arrest all the remaining rebels and county officials at all levels in the city. They lined up to behead their heads. The city gates and buildings were stained with blood. No one who participated in the rebellion was spared. But... "
The cavalry general was already glaring: "What is it? Don't beat around the bush!"
The messenger did not dare to hesitate and said quickly: "On the other hand, no one from the mob was punished. Even the mob that killed our soldiers were let go on the spot. Moreover, Qin Feng ordered that anyone who dared to disturb the people would be punished on the spot."
Plop...
With a muffled sound, the cavalry general slumped down on his chair, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
"This guy, at such a young age, is already so terrifying."
"After the generals, they are often violent, and after the civil servants, they are often pedantic. But Qin Feng's son is decisive in killing, but yet he is meticulous about the city. Killing all the rebels is tantamount to knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. He treats the people well and sets an example to the people all over the world. , the imperial court only kills rebels and treats the people favorably. If another rebellion occurs in the future, the people will not blindly follow."
"No wonder...no wonder...no wonder..."
The cavalry general said three wonders in a row, and sighed in his heart, no wonder the saint would appoint Qin Feng as the special envoy to quell the rebellion. I want to ask, who else in the world except Qin Feng can put down the rebellion so quickly?
Just as General Chaoqiu was sighing with emotion, he heard a burst of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, a loud roar came.
The cavalry general stood up quickly and wanted to go out to check, but was stopped by the Tianji camp guards.
"Old general, stay back. Sang Qian's army has already begun to attack the city. If you make a mistake, Mr. Qin will punish us severely."
The cavalry general frowned: "How many defenders are there in Beixi County?"
At the moment of the battle, the Tianji Camp guards were not nervous at all, and even seemed very relaxed: "Two hundred Tianji Camp guards, 500 black cavalry, 3,000 new troops, and 5,000 garrison troops, a total of 8,700 people."
On the way into Beixi County, General Chaiqi had already seen the barbican cities that were expanded out of the outer city.
With the strong strength of Beixi County, combined with the 8,700 defenders with superior combat power, it would be impossible for Sang Qian's army to capture the city. At the moment, it only depends on how many people each side has lost.
Suddenly, the chariot general was shocked and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "If Qin Feng hadn't gone to the general's camp to mobilize troops, and wanted to capture Pingyao County, at least two-thirds of the army would have been transferred from Beixi County. At this time, If Sangqian's army attacks the city, Beixi County will surely perish. It seems that Qin Feng has expected all this from the beginning."
At this moment, the cavalry general was surprised to find a group of black cavalry slowly passing by the yamen gate and heading to the cavalry camp to rest.
The cavalry general couldn't help but frown: "In the current war, as the elite of Beixi County, why didn't the black cavalry rush to the front line to coordinate the defense?"
The guards of Tianji camp smiled leisurely: "There is no need for us to come forward. Mr. Qin has already told us that we only need to stick to the city. As for dealing with the soldiers and horses of Sang Qian's army, the northern garrison will come forward. He also said that... the north Xi County has been working hard for so long, and those old soldiers have been leisurely all day long, so it’s time for them to contribute.”
These words were like a knife, going straight into the heart of the cavalry general.
The cavalry general clenched his fists, trembling all over, and gritted his teeth: "Does the bastard Qin Feng want to use my army to resist Sang Qian's army?!"
At this time, the shouts of killing outside the city were loud.
The deputy general under Cheqi took the lead, pointing his sword directly at Sang Qian's army: "The general is in the city, kill the enemy troops and rescue the general!"
