【Chapter 484】Victory conquers Yulin City

(0484)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

Yansui Town, Yulinwei, Yulin City.

The fierce gunfire has completely disappeared. The rising black smoke column has gradually disappeared. The explosion of city gates and the broken walls have basically been cleared. The roads between the inside and outside of the city have been unblocked. Cavalry, infantry, or carriages are constantly shuttled through the road.

The bodies of the deceased were cleaned up and placed on empty land. Of course, the broken limbs and arms were not collected, so it was not necessary. The injured were sent to the doctor for rescue, if there was still hope for rescue.

On the top of Yulin City, there was a golden dragon sword dance flag flying high. Chi Hu stood under the golden dragon sword dance flag, holding a thousand-mile mirror, and looking around with great enthusiasm. The first task assigned to him by Xu Xingxia was finally completed. The next step was to suppress Xi'an Prefecture and the official troops from Shanxi. Of course, when necessary, some troops might be mobilized to rescue Ningxia Town or Gansu Town.

However, the news from Gansu Town was progressing smoothly. The battle situation report showed that the white-clad army had already controlled Gulang City and blocked the road from Morigen to the east. If nothing unexpected happened, Morigen could only go around inside Gansu Town. Speaking of which, Morigen was really pitiful. It would be better not to go south at all if he was trapped in Gansu Town. Apart from the constant northwest winds day and night, what is there in Gansu Town?

Actually, this is nonsense. With Xu Xingxia personally in charge, can the war go bad? More than a year ago, Xu Xingxia could make Mo Rigen suffer a loss. A year later, the White Army is different now, so of course he can continue to make Mo Rigen suffer a loss. Chi Hu felt that his regret was that, he had never encountered a strong opponent, and felt that he was not satisfied with the war. The combat effectiveness of the defenders in Yulin City was not enough! It might be almost the same to attack Xi'an City when heading south.

"Old Gao, thank you! Without you, Yulin City can't be taken down! If you have the chance to invite you to drink!" Chi Hu held Gao Yingxiang's hand and said aloud.

"We are all our own people, so be polite, be polite." Gao Yingxiang said hurriedly.

In front of Chi Hu, Gao Yingxiang's heart was also undulating and it was difficult to control himself. Just now, he held Qianlijing's fingers, and his knuckles were even a little white due to excessive excitement. It was not until he shook hands with Chi Hu that he gradually recovered. Yulin City, the largest military fortress in Yansui Town, finally fell into the hands of the White-clothed Army. No wonder Gao Yingxiang was excited. When did he think that he would be today? He was so proud.

In the past month, Gao Yingxiang has indeed worked hard enough. According to Xu Xingxia's order, all the military households that had already swarmed around Yulin City were dismissed, and they all went back to their homes and looked for their mothers. Only the Shooting Army and the Qing Cavalry Army were left to be responsible for siege. Among them, the Qing Cavalry Army led by Gao Yingxiang was the main force in digging tunnels. The area around Yulin City has long been drought and the geology is very hard, making it very difficult to dig tunnels.

Xu Xingxia spent less than ten days in Ningxia City to dig a tunnel. Chi Hu, Gao Yingxiang and others, in Yulin City, took more than twenty days to dig out the tunnel. Needless to say, the various hardships and dangers in the middle have been paid off. Fortunately, all the hard work and adventures have been rewarded now. After the White Army controlled Yulin City, the room for strategic maneuvers was much greater. The population and resources controlled by it have also increased greatly.

Unfortunately, after conquering Yulin City, the Qing cavalry led by Gao Yingxianghe was about to leave Yulin City. Xu Xingxia gave him the order to go back to Heishan Camp as soon as possible and replace all the weapons and equipment with muskets. At the same time, the organization of the troops also expanded from the original 1,500 people to more than 3,000 people. Obviously, it was to be used as the main force.

The military households in Yansui Town were originally brave in wars. This time, the White-Clothed Army expanded its troops, and the Yansui Town’s military households were very active. Almost more than 10,000 military households joined the White-Clothed Army. As a purely Yansui Town military household, the Qing Cavalry Army always wanted to show off. This was also specially approved by Xu Xingxia. He also wanted to see what extent the combat effectiveness of the Qing Cavalry could reach after changing into a musket.

"Goodbye!"

"There will be a date later!"

Chi Hu and Gao Yingxiang stood attentively and said goodbye in awe.

Teams of Qing cavalry soldiers activate their war horses and lined up in an orderly manner to walk westward.

...

"how so?"

Xu Dingguo stood in the middle of the captives and muttered to himself. Compared with the winner, Xu Dingguo, as the loser, was quite insufficient. His face was covered with mud, which looked very ugly. In fact, there was no mud, and his face would be very ugly. He was a veritable defeated general. His clothes were torn apart in the battle. This was the result of his fierce fight with the soldiers in the white-clothed army.

Fortunately, before he was killed, he yelled: "I am Xu Dingguo! Who dares to come up!" As a result, the white-clothed soldiers who were about to shoot him into a hornet's nest subconsciously released their rings and lowered their guns. A white-clothed officer who came from behind shot Xu Dingguo's hand and knocked him out of his scimitar. Then, other white-clothed soldiers rushed forward and captured Xu Dingguo.

Not only was Xu Dingguo captured, but his father also captured. There were more than 6,000 people who were captured together. Most of them were the main forces guarding Yulin City, and they were so-called armed servants. There were also many dignitaries and powerful officials who had retreated to Yulin City. However, after being captured, Xu Dingguo saw only himself and his father. They were separated from the world. He didn't know where the others had gone. Perhaps, they were killed by the white-clothed army. Perhaps, they were killed by the angry lower-level military households.

When Yulin City was captured, what Xu Dingguo was most afraid of was actually not the White-clothed Army, but the lower-level military households who had risen to rebel. He knew that the White-clothed Army had strict discipline and would not easily kill prisoners. However, those lower-level military households who had risen to rebel were completely different. They had already accumulated countless anger and finally had the chance to turn over. Their anger would be strange if they burst out in an instant. This was a terrible force!

In fact, the same is true. Now, in Yulin City, the lower-level military households who defected to the White-Clothed Army are searching their enemies from house to house with musketeers of the White-Clothed Army. As long as they are military officers above the general flag, all civil servants of all levels, even those who are not in the right place, are among their searches. The local tyrants and evil gentry who fled from other places to Yulin City were all caught. In the open space outside the city, they were densely packed with people.

These people were not dealt with directly by the White Army, but were handed over to the newly established Yulin City Management Committee. This is the practice of the White Army. The committee will hold public trial meetings one after another to determine the crimes of these special prisoners. The members of the committee are entirely from the lower-level military households in Yulin City. It is estimated that with the anger of the lower-level military households, there is basically no hope of these special prisoners to survive. Their property will be confiscated.

Although it had been two days since Yulin City was captured, Xu Dingguo still could not believe this cruel fact. The only thing he could do, locked in a small black room was to constantly reflect on it. He really couldn't believe it. In just less than a month, the white-clothed army successfully dug the tunnel, blew up the city gate, and blew up the city wall. Without the cover of the city wall and cannons, everything needed to be said.

"Xu Dingguo, come out!" Suddenly, the guard shouted.

Xu Dingguo looked outside in a daze. He didn't know what the purpose of calling him out. Perhaps it was to carry out the so-called shooting. It is said that none of the senior executives who fell into the hands of the White Army this time survived. His father was the deputy general officer of Yansui Town. His son of the deputy general officer had no reason to survive.

"Huh!" Xu Dingguo took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.

He reached the end of his life, which made Xu Dingguo a little unwilling. He was still young and didn't want to die. He was also an ambitious man. If it weren't for the White Army's trouble, he would have inherited his father's profession and become an excellent commander of the guards. However, as a man, Xu Dingguo didn't say anything begging for mercy. With Xu Xingxia's character, even if he said it, it would be useless. When did the old devil Xu kill someone, when did you listen to your begging for mercy?

At dawn, Xu Dingguo was escorted to the west gate of Yulin City. Here, Xu Dingguo saw his father, and he was escorted out. Strangely, there was no trace of others. Could it be that the White-clothed Army was shot and only two people were shot at once? It is impossible! It is said that the White-clothed Army was shot in line, killing hundreds of people at a time.

"Xu Dingguo, you should feel glad!" Suddenly, someone said.

Xu Dingguo looked at the sound in a daze, and found that the person who spoke was Chi Hu, the commander of the Shooting Army, a subordinate of the White Army. As the actual commander of the side guarding the city, Xu Dingguo could not have known Chi Hu. He did not expect that Chi Hu was actually here! This surprised Xu Dingguo slightly. Could it be that Chi Hu wanted to execute himself?

"If the Chairman hadn't deliberately saved your life, you would have been buried in the ruins! I don't know why the Chairman had to save your life, but I now warn you not to make trouble on the road from here to Ningxia City, don't try to escape. Otherwise, you will have only one way to die!" Chi Hu continued to say sternly.

"Xu Xingxia? Keep my life?" Xu Dingguo was very confused. Why did Xu Xingxia save his life? Could it be that he wanted to kill himself with his own hands? Maybe it's right!
Chapter completed!
