After a while, Hu Zhiguang made a sound, and his body began to tremble.
Because the people who came were Li Zhen's soldiers.
These soldiers came with guns and murderous intent. Under the firelight, the frightening faces and the black muzzles were pointed at the soldiers who rushed into the city and sat on the ground to rest. In this scene, there was no No one was shocked, no one was not surprised and frightened. They opened their eyes and mouths wide with strange expressions, as if they were seeing a mirage-like spectacle.
"I want to see Li Zhen."
Hu Zhiguang used all his strength and roared loudly.
"Who do you think you are? You can see who you are. Everyone immediately put down their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands."
Chen Yucheng's cold voice came and said coldly: "Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
There was such a chill in his tone that even Hu Zhiguang shuddered.
Chen Yucheng waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command took another step forward. This move prompted the soldiers who were sitting on the ground after entering the city to squat down and put their heads in their hands, crying and begging for mercy. They put their firearms next to them. No longer resisting, Chen Yucheng ordered after seeing this: "Collect all weapons. No one is allowed to hide a weapon privately. Anyone who finds it will be shot to death."
After giving the order, the soldiers immediately stepped forward to collect their weapons.
In less than half an hour, all the weapons of Hu Zhiguang's soldiers were confiscated. Chen Yucheng ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and welcome Liu Jintang's army outside the city to enter the city.
Hu Zhiguang blinked, still confused.
He looked at Liu Jintang's army entering the city with a smile on his face, and then at the army led by Chen Yucheng inside the city. He wondered in his heart that he had not led his soldiers out of the city for long. How could the county seat of Xingyang County change hands in such a short period of time? However, no one told Hu Zhiguang what the reason was, and he was escorted to the government office reluctantly.
When he arrived at the government office, Hu Zhiguang didn't even see Li Zhen and was directly imprisoned.
The remaining captured soldiers were all placed under guard.
In the government office, Li Zhen looked at Liu Jintang, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng with a smile on his face.
In this battle, the three people in front of them cooperated to complete the task perfectly. Among them, Liu Jintang was responsible for the battle in the camp. He had to defeat Hu Zhiguang and let Hu Zhiguang lead his troops to escape back to the county town. Li Xiucheng was responsible for taking down the battle. Xingyang County opened the city gate to welcome Li Zhen into the city, and finally Chen Yucheng was responsible for capturing Hu Zhiguang who fled back to the city.
With precise cooperation, Hu Zhiguang was completely defeated.
Liu Jintang said loudly: "President, we have captured Xingyang County. Now we can take advantage of the fact that Xiaoshui County and Nanmingguan have not received news, and immediately go to Xiaoshui County to catch Huangbai off guard."
"There is no rush. First, guard the various checkpoints in Xingyang County to prevent the fleeing soldiers from escaping." Li Zhen's eyes fell on Liu Jintang and said solemnly: "I will leave this matter to you. It must be done tonight."
"yes."
Liu Jintang turned around and left the government office to carry out the order given by Li Zhen.
Li Zhen sat above, thinking about the details of the next operation. The hall became silent. Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng also sat quietly without interrupting. Five minutes later, Li Zhen finally spoke: "You two Let's go down and rest, let the brothers adjust their condition and regain their combat effectiveness as soon as possible. We will stay in Xingyang County for a day tomorrow to sort out the mess left in Xingyang County. The day after tomorrow, we will immediately set off for Xiaoshui County."
"yes."
Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng raised their hands and saluted, then turned and left.
Early the next morning, Li Zhen had breakfast, then summoned Liu Jintang and asked, "Have the checkpoints been set up?"
Liu Jintang had a pair of panda eyes, which were full of bloodshot eyes, but he still answered confidently: "Soldiers have been deployed at all checkpoints, and I have also posted notices to recruit deserted soldiers. As long as Hu Zhiguang's subordinates are separated, I will accept all the soldiers who are willing to surrender. This morning, soldiers have already come to surrender one after another."
Having said this, Liu Jintang smiled with satisfaction and said: "Judging from the current situation, it won't take long before all the separated soldiers can be brought under our command."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "The follow-up processing of Xingyang County will be left to you. By the way, the soldiers captured last night will also be left to you. These soldiers will be converted into our people as soon as possible. Then after you handle the matter in Xingyang County, bring them with you." Start the next plan with the last regiment and the soldiers you recruited."
"clear."
Liu Jintang responded excitedly and asked: "President, where is Hu Zhiguang?"
Li Zhen said: "Hu Zhiguang is following me. I will also use Hu Zhiguang to deal with Huang Bai. We have taken Xingyang County and achieved a breakthrough point, but we still have to solve the problem of foreigners. Otherwise, if we only attack Xi Changzhen all the way, it will be easy for us to make trouble." question."
Liu Jintang said: "Don't worry, I will complete the task smoothly."
Li Zhen smiled slightly and asked Liu Jintang to get down.
…
Xiaoshui County, on the city tower.
After successive battles, Huang Bai was under tremendous pressure.
At this time, Huang Bai had moved his residence to the city tower, where he ate and lived with the soldiers every day to resist the invading foreigners. On this day, Huang Bai stood on the city tower, leaning his hands on the wall, looking at the military camp where the foreigners were stationed in the distance. , After a long time, Huang Bai sighed and continued to fight head-on with the foreigners. Although the foreigners suffered heavy losses, Huang Bai also suffered a lot, and the battle was very difficult.
Huang Bai looked at the captain beside him and asked, "How is the situation at Nanming Pass?"
The captain replied: "The general has arrived with his army. The army is hiding in Nanming Pass. We are waiting for Li Zhen's army to attack and then annihilate Li Zhen in one fell swoop."
"Where is Xingyang County?" Huang Bai asked again.
The captain hesitated slightly and said, "The situation in Xingyang County is not very good."
"what's going on."
Huang Bai raised his brows, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Xingyang County, Xiaoshui County and Nanming Pass formed an overall defense line. Once one of them was breached, it would have a huge impact on the whole.
The lieutenant said: "According to the information we have gathered in the past few days, it is said that General Hu Zhiguang was defeated by Li Zhen. However, the information is not accurate. They are just rumors. There should be definite information returned soon."
Huang Bai said in a deep voice: "Step up to investigate the news."
"yes."
The captain responded and went down to carry out the order.
…
On the road from Xingyang County to Xiaoshui County, a group of soldiers wearing the military uniforms of Xi Changzhen advanced rapidly. This group of soldiers were clearly dressed as troops under Li Zhen. The leaders were Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, and Li Zhen. Taking the lead, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and others escorted Hu Zhiguang and moved forward quickly.
Chen Yucheng came to Li Zhen and said: "President, several groups of scouts from Xiaoshui County have been discovered. At present, they have all been dealt with."
Li Zhen said: "Speed up the speed and be sure to solve Huang Bai as soon as possible."
"clear."
Chen Yucheng nodded in agreement and ordered to move forward at full speed.
