Chapter 1441 Capture of the county
"Sir, we are not like you who have already married and established a business. We are all bachelors who have been kicked out of the house. One person can feed the whole family and the whole family will not be hungry. And the habit formed before, of course, is to spend as much as you want. How can it be possible to save money? How about you borrow a few pennies from my subordinates to fool me with this evening meal?"

As soon as the words came out, the soldiers hurriedly begged.

Jincheng's city guards were wolves in sheep's clothing before the captain became a warlord, but now they are sheep in wolf's clothing, because most of them are hooligans with vicious exteriors and sloppy interiors.

These local hooligans are all descendants of wealthy families, but unfortunately they were kicked out of their homes by their families because they didn't love themselves, so they called their friends to hang out in the city.

The captain of the regiment thought they were in the way, so he first arrested them collectively into the army, but found that not only could they not be reformed, but would lead to bad recruits, he swept them out of the army.

But if they have nothing to do, they will disturb the law and order in the city. At the same time, considering that these abandoned sons of the wealthy clan are all of the blood of the wealthy clan, they cannot be killed all of them. In the end, they had to be allowed to join the city guard. Those wealthy families confessed.

The city gate officer smiled helplessly and said: "You bastards! Remember to calculate the interest!" Then he threw out a few gold coins.

The soldiers immediately cheered and discussed where to go to play after get off work, but everyone found that the noise seemed to be getting louder and louder. It was impossible for people like themselves to make such a lively sound, and the sound seemed to come from outside the city.

Everyone looked at it, and they were all stupid.

I saw the densely packed imperial army, throwing away their helmets and armor, calling their parents and mothers, rushing towards the city with panic and fear on their faces.
The city gate officer swallowed his saliva and said something stupid: "Didn't you get notified that friendly troops will arrive today?"

"What kind of friendly army?! That's our own, oh my god, isn't that my third brother? God bless him safe and sound!" A soldier shouted, pointing to the outside of the city.

"Ah, what did I see? How did my usually proud second uncle, the captain, become so embarrassed? Quick, open the door and let them in! They look like they are being chased by ghosts!" Another soldier While yelling, he was about to open the city gate.

"Wait!" The city gate officer immediately stopped his subordinates.

"What? Are you going to die?!" The soldier immediately glared at his boss.

"Look carefully, there are cavalry behind them. Our cavalry cannot be at the back. The enemy must be taking the opportunity to rush into the city with the defeated army, so this gate must not be opened!" The city gate officer pointed at the city gate. Persuasion from afar.

Most of the soldiers looked at the cavalry behind the crowd in the distance, and they were silent, but a few soldiers who recognized their family members shouted: "I don't care so much! My people are below! I don't want them If I am rescued, I will never be recognized by the family again!"

The soldier's words made the eyes of the soldiers who came from the noble family shine immediately. As the city got closer and closer, there were more and more calls to open the door, and the soldiers began to walk towards the city gate.

The city gate officer persuaded again: "Wait, we can save them even if we don't open the city gate, we can use a rope to pull them up!"

It seems that the city gate officials were so anxious that they forgot how many defeated soldiers were under the gate tower.

As soon as dozens of ropes were put down, they were pulled away by the rout soldiers below, the city gate officer's method went bankrupt, and as more and more rout soldiers appeared, the city gate officer could no longer restrain himself His subordinates could only sigh and let them open the door.Seeing his subordinates open the city gate, the city gate officer rang the alarm bell of the city tower, then shook his head and went home.

He knew that the enemy army would enter the city soon, and these panicked routs could only disrupt and disperse the only city guard that still had an organization.It can be said that since the appearance of the defeated army, this city will have a new owner. What I can do now is to stay at home quietly, accompany my family and wait for the new owner of this city to appear.

Three of the four city gates were called open by the rout soldiers. The rout soldiers who had long been looking forward to hiding in the city to gain a sense of security immediately swarmed in along the three city gates.

Seeing that the time has come, Zhao Hu ordered: "Zhou Wen, you lead the cavalry and charge straight in, seize and defend the opposite city gate, and when you pass through the city, shout that no one can go out, or you will be killed!"

Hearing this, everyone knew that Zhao Hu was going to occupy Jincheng with 4000 people.This perception, in the eyes of the people who killed so many sheep, it seems that no one takes occupying this city seriously, and they all concentrate on listening to Zhao Hu's orders.

Zhou Wen drew out his saber, drew a circle high, and shouted: "Cavalry! Follow me! Attack!" Then, with a chopping knife, he was the first to rush out.The cavalry shouted: "Take orders!" They followed Zhou Wen and rushed straight into the broken soldiers crowded at the city gate.

Seeing the cavalry catching up, the rout soldiers ran away in a hurry except to drill into the city desperately.Those who drilled into the city but couldn't get in were immediately trampled into meat paste by the cavalry, and the rout soldiers who fled outside the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the cavalry ignored them and rushed into the city. Then he rushed into the city again, because a group of enemies with long guns came from behind.

The cavalry rushed into the city, and the people who had been startled by the alarm bells all hid in their homes and listened to the sound of horseshoes approaching from far away. When the sound of horseshoes appeared in their ears, they hardly dared to breathe. He held his breath, and with the sound of horseshoes, there were bursts of shouts: "Everyone can't wait to go out, and anyone who breaks the law will be shot!"

The victor's order made the people hiding at home dare not move. They waited for the sound of horseshoes to go away before they let out a breath and patted their chests.

But the fright hadn't passed yet, and there was a loud and unintelligible voice of yelling, followed by a knock on the door, followed by bursts of urgent begging: "My fellow, let me hide for a while!"

More often than not, the routs entered uninvited. At first, there was a fight between the guests and the host, but as the shockingly orderly footsteps and the voice of shoot-to-kill reappeared, everyone immediately became silent and full of enthusiasm. With a panicked face, he pricked up his ears to listen to the sound outside the door.

Zhao Hu's plan went smoothly. Except for some rout soldiers who did not enter the city and went to the countryside, the rest of the rout soldiers were all blocked in Jincheng.

Moreover, these courageous routs hid in civilian houses in a very short period of time. Not long after, Jincheng, which has tens of thousands of people, was silent, and there was no one on all the roads.But when you see the dodgy figures in the windows of the houses, you know that they are all watching the scenery.

The very bold Zhao Hujun locked the gates on three sides of the city, leaving only the gate Zhao Hu entered open, leaving a hundred soldiers on each tower to patrol, and other soldiers began to receive the treasury.While the cavalry left 200 people running around the city and shouting orders to kill to create a tense atmosphere, the other cavalry immediately left the city and rushed to the Dingkou team staying outside the city.

Nearly [-] cavalry came back, and Sun Jie and others who had been nervous all the time were relieved.After learning of the great victory, the soldiers' families immediately cheered. The craftsmen and the strong men were very confused by this. They still don't understand why they suddenly spied on each other so nervously.

However, after the appearance of cavalry, the most deterrent force in this era, they calmed down and waited for orders.

The team moved forward again, and the young and strong were brought to the front to prepare to clean up the battlefield. Now that the troops have been liberated, they are not afraid of these unarmed young and strong making trouble.

Some rebellious guys among the young and strong shuddered after seeing the densely packed corpses all over the mountains and plains. They didn't dare to think otherwise, piled up the corpses obediently, and collected their weapons.

Of course, some rout soldiers who pretended to be dead jumped up and ran away. If they were not attacking the team, Zhao Hujun would not bother to care about them, but as long as they charged the team, he would not bother to care whether the opponent wanted to surrender or fainted, and shot them to death with one arrow.

The death that I saw with my own eyes was more deterrent than anything else. After a few times, even those craftsmen who had been aggrieved were really obedient.

The battlefield was being cleaned here, and Zhao Hubing, who received the treasury in the city, also began to move supplies outside the city.

Seeing this, Sun Jie, who was not interested in corpses and scrap iron, immediately took over the task of searching Jincheng with great interest.

Sun Jie searched very thoroughly and in a very disciplined manner. He first found out the small officials who were hiding in the county mansion, and then dragged them to count the property belonging to the empire's public property and the property of the fourth regiment leader, and then unceremoniously nailed it to the The valuables inside were wiped out.

As for other people's private property, Sun Jie did not touch it, even the widow of the captain, Sun Jie also left a box of gold coins for them to live on.

After all the properties of the empire and the captains of the Fourth Regiment were looted, Sun Jie took the list of craftsmen he found from the county government, and forcibly abducted them from house to house.

Crying, shouting, and the sound of horseshoes beating, the people of Jincheng trembled and begged these strongmen not to come to their door.

Most people got what they wanted, but a small number of people sadly found that they had won the lottery—the big prize where the whole family was taken away.Hundreds of powerful families in the city waited anxiously for the strongman to come to their door. They still had a little bit of confidence in their hearts. After all, they were local wealthy families. No matter who occupied Jincheng, they needed their help.But after waiting and waiting, not only did no one come to the door, even the voices of people calling from all over the city became more and more rare.

After night fell, the entire Jincheng was not only dark but also silent. Everyone was poking their heads through the cracks of the door. Unfortunately, the night prevented them from finding anything. Some speculated that the strongman had already evacuated, but thinking of the killing order, they still held back don't go out.In this way, Jincheng spent a night of worry and fear.
