"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 171
"Bang bang bang! bang bang bang!"
"The bandit army is coming, all soldiers go to the city to defend against the enemy!"
The ear-piercing sound of the gong resounded over the city of Xilin Mansion, and the flustered soldiers of the garrison rushed to the city for defense under the urging of the officers.
"Quick, quick, close the city gate!"
Amid the hurried voice of the officer, the heavy city gate was slowly closed with the rotation of the winch.
"Didn't it mean that the bandits had already fled to the south? Why did they suddenly appear in our Xilin Mansion?"
On the steps of the tower in Nancheng, the admiral of the Xilin Mansion, who smelled of alcohol, put up a pergola with his hands, and looked at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, most of which was sober.
A few days ago, the four princes reported victory, saying that the Qinghe army had been defeated by him and fled southward.
Xilin Mansion is close to Qinghe Province, and has always been worried. Knowing that the Qinghe Army has fled south, it is a relief.
But who knew that the Qinghe army would kill them right after they drank and celebrated, which made them not frightened.
"I don't know where this band of bandits came from, and why they suddenly came to our Xilin mansion."
Seeing the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, the officials of Xilin Mansion, big and small, all looked a little unnatural, because they were afraid of death.
"By the way, where is the Inspector?"
The admiral of the Xilin Mansion was also at a loss at the moment, and when he was about to ask the inspector for attention, he suddenly found that the inspector was gone.
"Reporting to the Admiral, the Inspector seems to have left the city just now, and he said he was going to investigate the enemy's situation." A small official replied.
"The thieves are all here, he's looking for fart's enemy situation."
When the admiral of Xilin Mansion heard that the inspectors had run away, he couldn't help cursing in his heart.
"General Zhou, you are a good soldier. I will leave the matter of resisting the bandit army to you. Repel the bandit army. I will give you credit for it!"
Seeing that the inspector had run away, the admiral of the Xilin Mansion was also anxious to put oil on his feet, so he handed over the task of city defense to the highest military officer of the Xilin Mansion.
"Please rest assured, Admiral, I will definitely guard the Xilin Mansion!"
After the admiral of Xilin Mansion handed over the task of city defense to General Zhou, he immediately led a group of officials to leave the city wall.
"Master General, Lord General, Lord Admiral, they left the city through the north gate, and they said they were going to ask for help."
Soon, an officer in charge of guarding the north gate hurried over and told General Zhou the bad news.
"Damn, these guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
General Zhou Shen was not a fool, so he realized that it was a lie that the admiral was going to rescue the soldiers, and the truth was that he was running for his life.
"You run for your life and want Lao Tzu to die, that's a good idea!"
When Zhou Shenjiang was speaking, he suddenly held his stomach and screamed.
"Hey, my stomach hurts so much, General Wei Qian, I'll leave the city defense here to you. I'm going to the medical center to have a look."
Soon, General Zhou also left the city wall and ran away. If he didn't run for his life at this time, would he wait for death?
Xilin Mansion is part of the Gyeonggi Province, and has not encountered war for more than a hundred years.
? Although the Qinghe Army made a lot of noise in the neighboring Qinghe Province, it never entered the boundary of Gyeonggi Province.
Although they haven't seen the Qinghe Army with their own eyes, there are quite a lot of hearsay.
? It is said that the Qinghe army murdered fiercely one by one without blinking an eye. As long as they break through the city, they will definitely leave no one behind.
The officials and generals of the Xilin Mansion were all afraid of the Qinghe army, and now seeing them killing them, they were naturally frightened and ran away.
Anyway, they are all the children of big families, even if they lose the city, at most they will be reprimanded, but they will not really punish them.
And as long as the limelight passes, they can be transferred to other places, so they don't have the consciousness of survival with success.
Chen Zi'ang only dispatched a cavalry unit of more than a thousand men as the vanguard, but such a vanguard unit has already frightened the officials of Xilin Mansion to flee.
Seeing that all the officials had fled, and the garrison soldiers guarding the city walls were not stupid, they took off their garrison uniforms one after another, changed into civilian clothes, and fled north with their wives and belts.
"My lord, there seems to be no defenders in Xilin Mansion."
Lin Yu personally led a cavalry unit as the vanguard, the main thing was to investigate the defense situation of Xilin Mansion.
???It was the scout's report that surprised him. This is a majestic prefecture, but apart from the flying king's flag, there is no one in sight at the top of the city.
"Explore again, don't ambush."
Facing this weird situation, Lin Yu, the experienced general, did not dare to be careless, and sent several scout teams.
Soon, the scouts turned back one after another, and there was no organized dynasty army around Xilin Mansion.
And a large number of people are leaving the city through the north gate and fleeing north.
"Go, go and have a look."
Lin Yu also frowned, and immediately led the cavalry around the city, heading straight for the north gate.
At this moment, countless people are swarming out from the north gate with their families and their families. Horse-drawn carriages full of boxes are jamming the official road, appearing chaotic and noisy.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu and the others were also stunned. Do they look so scary that they let these people run away.
"Ah, the thief army is here!"
Seeing Lin Yu and the others arrived at the north gate, the common people and dignitaries who were leaving the city fled in all directions like frightened rabbits.
"My lord, what shall we do?"
"Send someone into the city to have a look."
"No!"
Soon, a group of cavalry rode straight to the gate of the city. The north gate was opened without any defense at all, and this group of cavalry entered the city directly.
There is a mess everywhere in the city, and many garrison soldiers who have lost their restraint are looting houses in groups of three or four.
Many local ruffians and tyrants also took advantage of the fire to loot one after another, which intensified the chaos in Xilinfu City.
This group of cavalry wandered around along the streets full of bamboo baskets and parcels, but they didn't find a single garrison soldier except those who took advantage of the fire to loot.
They reported the situation to Lin Yu who was stranded outside the city, and Lin Yu then led his troops to Xilin Mansion and took over the mansion.
Chen Ziang originally sent Lin Yu to lead his troops as a forward to spy on the enemy's situation, but who knew that they directly captured the capital of Xilin Mansion without bloodshed, which made Chen Ziang smile wryly.
"General, all treasuries are intact, food and money are available, we are rich!"
"On the official road outside the city, we also intercepted dozens of carriages, all of which were gold, silver and jewels left by the escaped officials."
Taking down a prefecture without bloodshed made all the brothers very happy. This was the first prefecture they encountered after entering Gyeonggi province.
They were already ready for a fierce battle, but who knew they would encounter such a situation.
"Open warehouses to release grain, and distribute all the gold, silver and jewelry that cannot be taken away to the people!"
Chen Ziang and the others are just a partial teacher, so they don't plan to occupy this place for a long time, so they don't care much about the food, gold, silver and jewelry.
?Because of rumors, the people of Xilin Mansion did not know Chen Ziang and his rebel army, and the officials of Xilin Mansion claimed that they were villains who would kill without blinking an eye, so they were very afraid.
When Chen Ziang and the others opened the warehouse to release grain, many people who were stranded in the city did not dare to collect it, fearing that it was a trap.
Fortunately, many refugees escaped from Qinghe Province. They were so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs, and they took the risk to get food.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army were also from poor backgrounds, and they were kind and amiable to the common people who came to receive food.
? Seeing that the Qinghe army actually distributed food, it was spread from ten to ten, and soon all the food distribution locations were crowded. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
