Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Seeing this, Ximen Qing ordered the artillery and musketeers to stop firing.

Seeing that surrender and begging for mercy was effective, the desperate soldiers of the restoration army followed suit one after another, throwing away their weapons and kneeling down to beg for mercy and beg for life.

Zhao Shuxiang, Zhao Zisong, Zhao Ye, Wang Boyan, Wang Xiang and others saw that the situation was not good, so they took the army horses of the rear army and prepared to flee.

In this battle, the strength of Ximen Qing's army has frightened them out of their courage. Many of them have decided to give up their ambition to seize the throne. They just want to escape and separate themselves, and slowly negotiate with Chu to win more for themselves. political interests.

However, how could Ximen Qing let them escape easily?

Only the sound of killing was heard everywhere, Lu Zhishen, Shi Jin, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Fan Qiong and other generals killed from the rear, blocking the restoration army's retreat.

It turned out that after the Ximen Qing army went out of the city to attract the main force of the restoration army, Lu Zhishen and other generals left the city through other city gates according to the plan, and rushed to outflank the back route of the restoration Song army.

Although Lu Zhishen and other generals had fewer horses than the remnants of the restored Song Army, their morale was high and their fighting spirit was surging.

On the contrary, the morale of the remnants of the Restoration Song Army has long been low, and they have no intention of fighting again.

These armies were originally mobs who came together from all over the place, and there was no unified command, so the soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another, giving up their struggle.

Zhao Shuxiang, Zhao Zisong, Zhao Ye, Wang Boyan, Wang Xiang and others were unable to break out of the siege, and were all captured alive by Ximen Qing's army.

9 Chapter Seventy

Outside Nanxun Gate, when Ximenqing ordered the artillery and muskets to stop shooting, there was no deafening cannon and gunfire. Although Lu Zhishen, Hu Cheng and other troops were still surrounding the enemy and taking prisoners, the world seemed to be quiet for an instant down.

The spring breeze blows away the gunpowder smoke from the Ximen Qing army's position, revealing the true face of Ximen Qing's army again.

Under the sun, Ximen Qing was wearing a dazzling golden ring armor with goose feathers, riding his own snow-treading black horse, with a snowflake iron goose feather knife and a willow carved bow on his waist, and a pot of spiked arrows on his back. He stepped out majestically from the large formation of the Chinese army, looking at the mess in front of the formation and the many Song soldiers kneeling and begging for mercy in the distance.

Jiao Ting followed Ximen Qing with his pro-military guards, holding high the "Ximen" battle flag.

Jiang Zhong, the general who commanded the heavy infantry, came to Ximen Qing on horseback, and complained to him: "Brother Ximen, Tang Long, Ling Zhen and the others are full, and they don't leave a mouthful of soup for me, brother!

These brothers of mine have had enough to eat and drink this morning, and they are waiting for a good fight!

Unexpectedly, these guys are all local chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow, and no one rushed to Jiang Zhong's front!

Yue Fei's little brother's archers have also captured hundreds of enemies, but I, Jiang Zhong, have not captured half of my combat exploits.

Brother Ximen, I'm so bored in a big battle! "

Ximen Qing laughed loudly when he heard this, and said to Jiang Zhong: "Brother Jiang Zhong, don't be troubled, he also has a share of today's military exploits.

The musketeers of my Chinese army are integrated with my brother's heavy armored infantry. Without the cover of the heavy armored infantry in this phalanx, the musketeers cannot shoot with peace of mind.

Therefore, brothers Tang Long and Ling Zhen shot and killed half of the enemy troops, brother Jiang Zhong, you have to credit half of the military exploits! "

Jiang Zhong shook his head, and said in his mouth: "I'm not greedy for merit, I just want to have a good fight. Today I can only watch from the sidelines, and I feel very itchy!"

"Brother Jiang Zhong, don't worry, the heavy armored infantry will definitely be useful. Before long, our army will have another big battle."

Ximen Qing comforted Jiang Zhong.

While speaking, the "miracle doctor" An Daoquan also came out of the city with a team of military doctors and found Ximen Qing.

An Daoquan also raised his voice and asked, "Master, why don't you see any wounded soldiers from our army? When I came out of the city, I only took in a soldier with a sprained foot from the rear army. This is really unbelievable!"

For An Daoquan who wanted to show his rejuvenation, this scene was a bit embarrassing!

In a big battle involving 10,000+ troops, the Ximen Qing army, which was outnumbered, not only won a complete victory, but none of the soldiers died.

The only soldier who was injured was accidentally sprained his foot when Zhu Biao, the rear army, was chasing the enemy.

Such a miraculous war made An Daoquan, who was in charge of the military doctor, very insignificant!

Ximen Qing pointed forward and said to An Daoquan: "Doctor An, the enemy army has surrendered and there may be wounded people there. Go and help them!"

An Daoquan saw that there was a place for him to use his skills, and hurriedly led the military doctors to rescue the dying and heal the wounded.

Ximen Qing looked at An Daoquan's back and murmured to himself: "Today, the Musketeers went into battle for the first time, and they used too much force. In this battle, too many enemy troops were killed and wounded. I should have ordered a ceasefire earlier."

What Ximen Qing said was not because he was pretending, but because he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Because, in Ximen Qing's mind, most of the troops of the Zhao Restoration Party outside the city were miscellaneous troops, and they were completely unworthy to be the opponent of his new army, so there was no need to kill them.

Ximen Qing only wanted to destroy the morale of these troops and then disarm and capture them.

Unexpectedly, today is the first actual battle of the Musketeers, and everyone is very excited.Ximen Qing, Tang Long, Ling Zhen and the soldiers under their command did not stop in time, and shot and killed many people after the enemy's morale collapsed, causing unnecessary casualties.

Ximen Qing secretly thought that a lot of ammunition was wasted today.These ammunition should have been used to shoot and kill the Xixia army.It seems that my command in front of the battle is still not ready!

When Ximenqing was reflecting on his own shortcomings, Lu Zhishen, Shi Jin, Hu Cheng, Zhu Biao and others disarmed and guarded more than [-] Song Army prisoners who had surrendered.

On the battlefield outside the city, on the walls of the southern city, there were constant cheers celebrating the victory.

The people waiting anxiously inside Nanxun Gate heard that En Gong Ximen Qing had won a great victory, and immediately rushed to tell each other, and the sound of beating gongs and drums gradually spread to the whole city.

This time, Lu Xiaoyi's subordinates did not participate any more, and the public's emotions no longer needed to be fueled.

At this time, Lu Xiaoyi and his men were calmly lurking in every corner of Bianliang City in Tokyo, helping Ximen Qingjun to monitor the east direction of the city, lest someone jump over the wall in a desperate situation.

Although the Restoration Party left in the city is weak, it cannot threaten Ximen Qingjun's control over the city.But if someone wants to be buried for the Zhao family, it is also a threat to come to a big show of setting fire to himself!

Even if it can't hurt anyone, it's not good to burn the flowers and plants in the city!

In fact, next to the Daxiangguo Temple, the house of the abolished Meng family has long been under the strict surveillance of Lu Xiaoyi.

Those who have visited the Meng family in recent days have been followed and investigated by Lu Xiaoyi, and they have found out the details one by one.

Outside these people's mansions, Lu Xiaoyi's brother and Ximen Qingjun were secretly defending.

Now it seems that these people who are close to the Zhao clan in the city are also courageless people.

Ximen Qing's army went out of the city to fight the restoration army, but they took the opportunity to cause chaos in the city.

Now that the news of the restoration army's defeat is spreading, it is not seen that they are fighting desperately.

The knife in Lu Xiaoyi's hand has been sharpened very sharply, but no one is sticking out his neck, what a disappointment!

……

On the tower of Nanxun Gate, Zhang Bangchang and his ministers were already stunned when they saw 20 Ximen Qing troops smashing through [-] enemy troops. They couldn't believe what they saw.

Although Ximen Qing encouraged Zhang Bangchang repeatedly, Zhang Bangchang was still skeptical about whether Ximen Qing could defeat the 20 Zhao Restoration Army outside the city.

Never did Zhang Bangchang expect to see such a hearty victory.

General Ximen Qing really decided the world with a battle today, the power of the Zhao Restoration Party might just collapse like this, right?
