The support from the Dingyuan Army will take at least two hours. By the time the reinforcements arrive, the entire city will have been plowed by the Tiger Wing Army.
Zhou Shoukang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Give me the order to attack the enemy in the streets and alleys!"
When he heard that there was going to be a street fight, the soldiers who ordered the order felt weak in their knees, but they could only bite the bullet and issue the order.
At the same time, the city gate has completely fallen into Zhao Kun's control.
A large number of Tiger Wing Army soldiers climbed onto the city wall and began to focus on clearing out the defenders on the city wall.
Wang Ben took over the command and did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he consolidated the city wall defense line. Once reinforcements from the Dingyuan Army arrived, he would use the city wall as a basis to fight.
Half an hour later, Wang Ben left behind the brave warriors and a hundred Tiger Wings soldiers to guard the city gate, and the rest of the Tiger Wings soldiers all entered the city.
Facing the elite soldiers, the defenders in the city were unable to form effective resistance.
Although it was the most brutal street fighting, it was more like a cat and a mouse. All enemies discovered by the Tiger Wings soldiers were slaughtered in an instant.
The heavily armored soldiers in the city had been dispersed long ago and were unable to provide cover for the light armored troops.
As the Tiger Wing Army advanced, a large number of defenders began to flee from the north gate.
Wang Ben deliberately did not set up defenses at the north gate, just to squeeze the defeated troops out of the city.
After all, their goal is to seize the capital and then control Yizhou, not to force the enemy to menopause and fight as a trapped beast.
By the time Chen Qi learned that the defenders had already begun to collapse and wanted to flee, it was already too late.
Bang!
After a loud noise, the gate of Zhizhou Mansion was knocked open.
The panicked Chen Qi was directly grabbed by the collar by the soldier and dragged into the yard.
When Chen Qi looked up at the door, he saw Zhao Kun and Wang Ben crossing the threshold one after another and walking in.
Chen Qi's face was ashen, he knelt on the ground and started to defend himself tremblingly.
"Zhao...Zhao Yishi, why did you break your promise and attack suddenly?"
"Xiaguan already knows that King Ding has been entrusted with the title of knowing the affairs of Yizhou. As long as Zhao Yishi enters the government, Xiaguan will naturally cooperate with the handover."
"Such a big fight is absolutely unnecessary."
Facing Chen Qi's defense, Zhao Kun's eyes did not waver at all.
"If you really knew how to hand over power obediently, you would have returned to Beijing long before the imperial edict was issued."
"Chen Qi, I advise you not to waste your breath."
"I am a native of Yizhou. How can I not know who you are?"
"When we first entered the capital, it was you who colluded with Gao Qiu and killed seventeen of my brothers. Now their souls are still enshrined in the Hall of Heroes in Prince Ding's Mansion."
"Blood debts and blood feuds must be settled together!"
Hearing this, Chen Qi's face instantly turned pale. He never dreamed that Zhao Kun, a loser, would actually become prosperous after a trip to Bianjing.
The flea, which was not even in Chen Qi's eyes at first, stepped on Chen Qi's head just because it hugged Zhao Huan's thigh.
At this time, Zhou Shoukang was also captured and taken to the Zhizhou Mansion together.
Zhou Shoukang was a man, even though the knife was held on his neck, he still glared at Zhao Kun and shouted angrily.
"asshole!"
"You made a sneak attack on the capital of Yizhou and kidnapped the imperial officials. When I tell Your Majesty, I will definitely raze you to the nine tribes."
Chen Qi, who had been depressed just now, became frightened when he heard these words.
He gritted his teeth and threatened with stern expression: "I am personally appointed by Your Majesty to know the affairs of Yizhou. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, it will be a heinous crime!"
Even if Chen Qi's official position as Zhizhou has been dismissed, as long as he has not handed over to Zhao Huan, he is still the highest official of Zhizhou.
Chen Qi sneered in his heart, he was sure that Zhao Kun would not dare to kill him.
When he was proud, Chen Qi was surprised to find that Zhao Kun took over the single sword from his subordinate and looked at Chen Qi with indifferent eyes, as if he were a dead corpse.
"I...I am an official of the imperial court. Do you really dare to kill me?!"
"Aren't you afraid of being razed to the nine tribes?"
"Zhao Kun, you have to think about it."
Facing Chen Qi's repeated threats, Zhao Kun remained indifferent. He wiped the blade of the knife and snorted coldly.
"King Ding has an order. As long as it is beneficial to Yizhou and the Song Dynasty, just kill it first and then report it."
"Killing you and other traitors is equivalent to pulling out cancerous tumors and squeezing out malignant sores for the Song Dynasty. With the support of King Ding, why should we be afraid?"
What?!
Chen Qi's eyes widened, and under his extremely shocked gaze, Zhao Kun raised the knife and dropped it without any hesitation.
The hot blood splashed seven or eight steps away.
Wang Ben on the side did not hesitate and beheaded Zhou Shoukang on the spot, who was shouting curses.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ben carried the heads of Chen Qi and Zhou Shoukang and walked out of the Zhizhou Mansion. He shouted loudly: "The Zhizhou and the Dingyuan Army Jiedushi refused to hand over power and colluded with the rebels of the Changsheng Army. The Dharma has been rectified on the spot!"
"Yizhou is the Yizhou of King Ding!"
"The Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family!"
"No matter who dares to cause trouble here, they will be killed without mercy."
The news that Chen Qi and Zhou Shoukang were beheaded quickly reached the Dingyuan Army. The Dingyuan Army, which had originally planned to attack the city and rescue the siege, instantly lost its will to fight.
On the evening of the next day, under Zhao Kun's appeasement policy, the leaderless Dingyuan Army finally chose to surrender.
In less than six hours, Zhao Kun and Wang Ben captured the richest man in Yizhou and disarmed the Dingyuan army.
It was already two days later when the news came back to Bianjing.
Dingwangfu.
Zhao Huan was sitting in the front hall, with his legs crossed, looking at the good news from Yizhou, and he was in a good mood.
"Yue Fei, this Wang Ben is worthy of being a warrior fighting alongside you. He is brave and resourceful and has a promising future!"
Yue Fei, whose injuries had improved, stood beside Zhao Huan and said in a deep voice: "Although Wang Ben is brave, he lacks strategy."
"If it weren't for Zhao Kun supervising the battle, it would be difficult for Wang Ben to do it alone."
"Your Majesty has a unique vision and knows that Zhao Kun can be used."
"A thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist."
Zhao Huan put down the military report and turned to look at Yue Fei, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"How come you've learned how to flatter a horse?"
Yue Fei's eyes were unwavering, and he still stood upright: "I am speaking from the bottom of my heart, and I have no intention of trying to please you."
"The prince only knows that Wang Ben is an old subordinate of his, so he entrusts him with important tasks. Not only his subordinates are extremely grateful for this trust, but also all the brave warriors are sincerely convinced."
"We are princes, and we have dedicated our lives to it. Even if we are wrapped in horse leather, we will not hesitate!"
If these words were said by others, Zhao Huan would have to think carefully to avoid being confused by the other party's sugar-coated bullets.
But when it came out of Yue Fei's mouth, it was another story.
Just when Zhao Huan was sighing that he finally had a group of capable ministers and generals around him, and was secretly proud, Chang Fu ran in panting.
"Your Majesty, go to the Zhu family quickly, the family meeting has already begun!"
Due to the great impact of Zhu Chun's death, in order to appease the Zhu family, His Majesty specially summoned the Zhu family to the palace to admonish him.
Therefore, the family meeting had to be postponed.
Early this morning, Zhu Boping gathered the Zhu family members and held a family meeting.
