Horse on the World

Chapter 986
There was hardly any decent resistance, and most of the Luoyang soldiers who had been crushed by hunger didn't even have the strength to stand up. Looking at the Dingzhou soldiers coming like a tide, their only weapon was their eyes.

The cries to capture Qu Yongjie alive resounded throughout Fancheng, and Dingzhou troops poured into Fancheng. The tragic situation in the city was shocking. All the soldiers lying in the streets were either dead or waiting to die. The soldiers who were still alive lying next to these corpses didn't seem to feel any meaning, and looked at the Dingzhou army running along the street with a loose look.

The senior generals of the Dingzhou Army who entered together soon discovered that what they were facing was not the final resistance of the enemy, but how to clean up the mess in front of them. Although they had been psychologically prepared for the situation in the city, at this moment To this extent, it was far beyond their expectations. The climate is getting hotter now, and plagues are extremely prone to occur. If you dare not deal with the situation in the city, it is no joke that the plagues will spread.

"First, bury the dead enemy soldiers in the city immediately. No, it's too late to bury them, so burn them, collect the dead bodies, and burn them together. Second, gather all the doctors in the army and treat the wounded soldiers of the opponent. Third, immediately Set up a prisoner-of-war camp to accommodate the living soldiers. Fourth, immediately transport a large amount of quicklime from outside the city and sprinkle it all over the city to prevent the occurrence of plague. Fifth, ask General Zhang Aimin to immediately mobilize doctors from Minzhou City to transport plague prevention medicinal materials." Lu Dalin issued five orders in one breath.

"Generals!" Qian Duo ran all the way panting, and clasped his fists at Lu Dalin, Tianfeng and the others, "There is a little accident at the county government office, why don't you go and have a look?"

Chen Zeyue glared at Qian Duo, "What tricks are you playing? Don't forget, you still have [-] boards in my account. Don't think that I will forget after winning the battle?"

With a bitter face, Qian Duo said, "General Chen, how dare I play tricks. I'm a man with my tail between my legs. My soldiers have gone to the Fancheng County Government, and there are still resisting enemy troops there."

"Resist and destroy them." Chen Zeyue patted the handle of the wheelchair, "Is this worth your trip? Are you a rookie on the battlefield?"

Qian Duo spread his hands, "General Chen, I can't do anything."

Lu Dalin, Guan Xinglong, Tian Feng, and Chen Zeyue exchanged glances in surprise. They were all familiar with Qian Duo. It would be a joke to say that he was soft-hearted, but now they can't do it?

"Let's go, have a look!" Lu Dalin broke the horse.

Qian Duo ran up in a panic, and pushed aside the personal guard who was pushing the wheel rider for Zhen Zeyue, "I'll push General Chen."

Chen Zeyue snorted, "Don't think that if you come to please me, you will make me forget your board. I remember it clearly!"

The flesh on Qian Duo's face twitched twice, "General Chen, don't show your family ugliness, don't show your family ugliness! Save some face!"

Chen Zeyue snorted, but he didn't drive Qian Duo away, he let Qian Duo push him forward, and after walking dozens of steps, Qian Duo lowered his head and whispered: "General Chen, reduce ten sticks! "

Chen Zeyue was furious, "Get out, get away, Chen Guang, push me."

Qian Duo was taken aback, "Well, I didn't say anything!"

"Go away, or you will add another ten sticks after the battle!"

Qian Duo immediately jumped to the side, "I'll get out of here right now." With smoke under his feet, he spread his legs suddenly and ran away.The several generals present had heard of this treasure under Chen Zeyue's command for a long time, but seeing this guy's thick skin today, they couldn't help laughing: "Old Chen, you are an interesting general."

Chen Zeyue said helplessly: "He is a bastard, but he is lucky, brave in battle, and uses his brains. He is famous among the lord. Every once in a while, if he doesn't hit him with a stick, his tail will go up to the sky. went."

Fancheng County Yamen and Tiger Camp soldiers surrounded this small courtyard tightly, and the courtyard was also full of soldiers, but these soldiers were silent at this moment, and although they held their knives and guns in their hands, they did not move forward. Means to attack.

Because what was in front of them at this time could hardly be regarded as an enemy. Nearly a hundred skinny Luoyang soldiers were clinging to their swords and guns and huddled together. , In front of these people, there were some people lying on the ground, but they also held knives and guns in their hands, with fierce eyes, staring at the elite Dingzhou soldiers opposite.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and the Tiger Battalion soldiers turned around and saw so many senior generals coming all the way, they were all taken aback, and consciously dodged a passage.

Lu Dalin rode his horse into the courtyard slowly, and looked at the last batch of soldiers in Fancheng who were still holding weapons. Although their combat effectiveness was almost zero, their spirits were not broken yet. Take a closer look at the other side's uniforms. These people should be Qu Yongjie's personal soldiers.

Lu Dalin understood that the room behind these people should be Qu Yongjie himself.

Lu Dalin got off his horse and took two steps forward. Immediately, two personal guards stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding iron shields and standing on both sides to guard.

Lu Dalin said loudly: "General Qu Yongjie, under the command of Dingzhou, Lu Dalin asks to see you."

The house was silent.

Lu Dalin called again loudly, but there was still no answer from the house.

Lu Dalin was silent for a moment, and he understood in his heart that Qu Yongjie was no longer there. Like Qiu Zhi, he chose to end by himself at the last moment and buried him for Da Chu who had been loyal to them all his life.I couldn't help but feel a little regretful in my heart. Although they are enemies, such enemies are respectable after all.

Looking back from the closed door, looking at the soldiers of Qu Yongjie in front of the door, Lu Dalin said loudly: "If I guess correctly, General Qu Yongjie should be gone, then, warriors, your mission has been completed." , there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. I, General Lu Dalin of Dingzhou, hereby assure you that we will give General Qu Yongjie the courtesy that suits his status. We will respect his remains and hold a grand burial for him Ceremony. Loyal ministers and warriors are respected at all times."

"And you, as warriors who are still holding their weapons tightly at the last moment, we will not make things difficult for you. Your safety will be guaranteed. At the same time, I am willing to give you a privilege. You can freely choose your way out. Stay in the prisoner-of-war camp until the end of the war, or return to Luoyang to fight with us and avenge your master, I agree."

Following Lu Dalin's sonorous and forceful voice, the soldiers with firm eyes on the opposite side began to show signs of loosening.

"Put down your weapons, warriors, you have already been respected by the Dingzhou army." Lu Dalin took a step forward, "If you wish, I am going to pay homage to General Qu Yongjie now."

After saying this, Lu Dalin took another step forward.

The atmosphere in the arena was extremely dignified. Qian Duo quietly made a gesture. Among the crowd, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion quietly drew their first-grade bows behind the crowd. For the general's safety, his heart will not be so soft.

"We believe in you!" an officer said in a low voice, "Brothers, lay down your weapons and get out of the way, General Lu, if you don't keep your word, we will seek you at night even if we become ghosts. .”

Lu Dalin smiled slightly, "As one of the five generals in Dingzhou, how could I not keep my word?"

With a bang, the weapon in the officer's hand fell to the ground. As his saber fell to the ground, the more than a hundred soldiers silently put down the weapons in their hands. dragged them aside.

Lu Dalin, Tian Feng, and Guan Xinglong stepped into the room, and Qian Duo pushed Chen Zeyue in afterward.

Qu Yongjie sat cross-legged on the bed, his armor was neat and meticulous, his saber was across his knees, his hands were crossed on his lower abdomen, his eyes were closed, and his face was full of calm.

In front of the bed where he was sitting, another general, blood spattered three feet, lay on the ground until he collapsed, his hand still tightly holding his saber.

Lu Dalin shook his head slowly, then shook his head again.Adjusting his clothes, he bowed deeply to Qu Yongjie respectfully, stood up, took another look at Qu Yongjie on the bed, turned and walked out.

Tian Feng, Guan Xinglong, and Chen Zeyue all stepped forward and bowed one by one, before leaving silently.

Qian Duo pushed Chen Zeyue to the door, looked back at Qu Yongjie's body, and sighed: "Although I think you are a big fool, to be honest, I really admire you. Go all the way, and I will be with you in the next life." Make money to be your comrade in arms, don't give your life to Apocalypse."

"Come here, find a good coffin to hold General Qu Yongjie!" Lu Dalin's voice came from outside.

On the sixth day of June, Fancheng was broken, and the last elite mobile force of Dachu was wiped out. 20 troops from Qu Yongjie, 28 generals under Zhou Tong were killed, 3 troops were killed in battle, 30 were scattered and their whereabouts were unknown, and [-] The rest were captured.The Dingzhou Army Lu Dalin Tianfeng Group, Guan Xinglong Group, and Chen Zeyue Group assembled nearly [-] troops and approached Luoyang City hundreds of miles away.Dingzhou iron cavalry straddles the vast plain, cutting off all connections between Luoyang and the outside world. The huge city of Luoyang stretching across the land has completely become an isolated city.

At the same time, Dingzhou issued an ultimatum to the other states that have not surrendered to Dachu. Before July [-], the states that have not changed their banners to express their surrender to Dingzhou will be regarded as hostile forces by Dingzhou and will be merciless Under the strong pressure of Dingzhou, these places sent envoys to Dingzhou to express their surrender.

At the beginning of August, under the order of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of Dingzhou, these ministers and other forces sent their own troops to form an army of 10 people. They prepared their own food and grass and rushed to the city of Luoyang to participate in the siege of Luoyang. In the Battle of Luoyang, after these troops arrived in Luoyang, they were immediately dispersed among the five major armies of Dingzhou that besieged the city.This also brought the number of troops besieging Luoyang to more than [-].

The war is about to start.

Li Qing set off from Dingzhou to Luoyang, preparing to personally command the final battle against Luoyang, while Dingzhou Supervisory Council Qingfeng, at this time, set off from Minzhou, preparing to return to Dingzhou.
