Chapter 1367 1043. Attacking Shicheng County (Part 2)

Even Zhang Hongwei sighed next to him, "It's indeed a pity."

At this time, Zhang Hongwei suddenly slapped his horse and headed towards the army.

Although he knew it was almost impossible, he still wanted to give it a try.

Hong Wutian and Jian Shisi quickly followed.

The three of them went to the front of the army, and then arrived at only a hundred meters away from the city, just on the side of the moat.

At the top of the city wall, Bai Zhengxin narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the end, he did not order the soldiers to shoot arrows. His eyes were just staring at Liu Zhuwen wearing ink armor and cloak.

It can be seen from the style of armor that Liu Zhuwen has a great status in the Song Dynasty.

Liu Zhuwen also looked at the city and shouted to Bai Zhengxin: "It is the general trend that our army has broken the city. Why should Lord Bai resist stubbornly?"

But Bai Zhengxin did not answer because he was determined to die and felt that there was no need to talk to Liu Zhuwen at all.

Liu Zhuwen shouted again: "Does Lord Bai have only loyalty and righteousness in his heart, but does not take the lives of the people in the city to heart? Why bother to pull them to die for Duan? I think our emperor has heard of benevolent politics and loving the people. I am Liu Zhuwen, the commander of the Tianxian Army of the Song Dynasty, and is willing to make an oath for the emperor. If Lord Bai leads the crowd to surrender, our imperial guards of the Song Dynasty will not destroy every grass and tree in the city. If we violate the oath, I, Liu Zhuwen, will pay for his life, how about?"

Bai Zhengxin [Youyou Reading     www.uutxt.me] couldn't help but frown slightly.

Liu Zhuwen's words did come to the point.

Bai Zhengxin actually really didn't want these people to resist the Song army on the top of the city. However, he was unable to persuade these people before.

On the city wall, there were more people who were moved by Shicheng County garrisons and the people.

If you can live, no one wants to die.

The commanders of the Song Dynasty made such a vow. In their opinion, surrender may be a good choice.

As long as the Song army did not massacre the city, no matter who he was the emperor, they should live the same way as they should?

In the past, Zhang Jue led Zhennan Military Region to attack Dali, but did not poison the people throughout the process. This is not a secret in Dali.

These defenders and the people felt that what Liu Zhuwen said should not be false.

When Bai Zhengxin was silent, a lieutenant general hesitated to him and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, otherwise we... the Emperor of Song was not a tyrant, maybe..."

Bai Zhengxin's eyes suddenly became sharp and he glared at the general, "Unfaithful and unrighteous! As a general, you are a general who eats the king's salary, and are you qualified to say such things to him?"

His eyes swept over the people on the top of the city, "Do you think you are the same as these villagers?"

But then, he suddenly placed the long sword on his neck.

A sword passed by.

The sword fell to the city and seemed so desolate.

"Mr. Magistrate!"

Bai Zhengxin's body fell softly towards the ground amid the screams of everyone.

When surrendering, he was sorry to the Dali royal family. If he didn't surrender, he could not sorry to the people on the city, so Bai Zhengxin made a choice like A Shu.

He took his own life and left the opportunity to choose to those on the city wall.

In fact, he had chosen to surrender in his heart. However, with his personality, he did not allow himself to surrender.

Perhaps no one expected that the direction of things would exceed the expectations of Liu Zhuwen and Bai Zhengxin.

Although some unexpected situations just happened, the situation eventually developed in the direction he expected to see.

He waved his hand, and some soldiers in the army ran towards the Shicheng County garrisons in front, and then surrounded the Shicheng County garrisons.

In front of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, he led his troops to An Dongnan, who was facing the city, and led his Tianwei army soldiers to the city first.

The soldiers stepped onto the suspension bridge and slowly disappeared into the city gate corridor.

Then in just a moment, the Dali military flag was withdrawn from the city of Shicheng County.

A flag is erected at the top of the city wall.

It is the national flag of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei, and Miao Cheng successfully captured Shicheng County without losing any force.

This is the first city in Dali to be hung with the Song Dynasty flag.

Then, Liu Zhuwen and others led the army into Shicheng County.

They really did not disturb the people in the city, and there were even military doctors to treat the injured people on the city.

This surprised the people on the city wall.

They had just experienced bombardment and hated these Song troops. But now when they saw this scene, their hatred could not be stopped and gradually faded.

The imperial guards camped outside the city no longer set up camp and all came to Shicheng County.

The four empty military camps in Shicheng County were soon stationed by the Song Dynasty imperial guards.

However, Liu Zhuwen and others did not go to the military camp.

They were at the top of the city, looking at Bai Zhengxin's body, Liu Zhuwen said: "Although Lord Bai is old, he is really a strong man."

He personally sent his soldiers to the county magistrate's office of Bai Zhengxin and informed his family of the news of Bai Zhengxin's suicide.

Then, Bai Zhengxin's body was handed over to his crying family members.

From beginning to end, Liu Zhuwen and others did not lead their troops to the county magistrate's office.
