"boom!"

A few loud bangs suddenly appeared with the explosion of fire. Two iron balls with large faces crossed the sky like meteors and directly smashed into the manor.

Then a group of tall and powerful Qin troops also ran to the fortress (there is no water in the winter moat), and threw out a few thunders.

The power of gunpowder weapons suddenly appeared in front of everyone. No creature from the Qin army to the gentry to the war horses was shocked and fearful, and the scene almost caused chaos.

Zhao Cheng frowned slightly, thinking that when this incident was over, we must train carefully. At least our soldiers and war horses should not be scared, otherwise it would be more than worth the loss.

There was only a little riot on the Qin army, and the castle was already in chaos. You should know that although this family thought the Qin army would move, it would have to come back during the day after the banquet.

Some people who came to the door at night and could also control the thunder and fire. The wooden structure of the city was ignited at once.

Now, there are two small families seeking shelter, and hundreds of people are all over the castle. How can I do the best to control the Qin army to attack the city or not? Putting out the fire first.

Then Zhao Cheng outside used two more thunders to bombard the entire wooden door and was blown down. Seeing this, the Qin army naturally rushed straight to the gate and entered the city.

After all, the gentry were gentry and might have skills, but they were not real soldiers. When the Qin army rushed in, they could only choose to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The night attack ended with heavy thunder and light rain. There was only one unlucky guy in the whole battle to death by the blown wooden door. Although the rest were in a very embarrassed manner, fortunately their lives were saved.

As soon as Zhao Cheng entered the city, he directly found a person with a higher status, took out a piece of white paper and shouted: "This landlord family is suspected of being in touch with foreign countries, and the whole family is sentenced to exile in the clouds to build the Great Wall. Women and young children are rationed to the military generals on the spot, and all their assets are confiscated. Isn't thank you yet?"

The man didn't react for a while. He was a "local emperor" just now, but now he has become an exiled prisoner? He made a judgment without even asking about his name?

Zhao Cheng naturally would not wait for him to thank him, so he directly sent two soldiers to take him away, and then started to arrange for people to search the house.

The gentry behind had just come in and didn't dare to move forward too much, for fear that these Qin Qiuba would do them together.

Several people also recognized the owner of the house sitting on the ground. He was not young and gray in his hair, covered in underwear and shivered in the winter night, like an old beggar.

Zhao Cheng had already returned to the yard at this time, holding a few rolls of bamboo slips in his hand, which was obviously a letter of contact between the owner of the family and other gentry.

While holding the bamboo slips, Zhao Cheng looked at the gentry in front of him with his tiger eyes. They all felt distressed, afraid that when Zhao Cheng spoke, he would say, "So who is exiled..."

As a result, Zhao Cheng threw the bamboo slips into the fire next to him and said with annoyance: "What a pity, this old guy is so treacherous that he actually destroyed all the correspondence early.

If I asked my lieutenant to find out who his accomplices were, I must exile them to the farther Baiyue and let him see what it means to eat raw meat and drink blood and cannibalism.

What do you think I'm doing? Do you have any clues to report? Come on, report a prize, and search one of the house and give it half a total of assets."

As soon as he said this, the leaders of the big family were hesitant. After all, there was no evidence. It is always possible to abide by the law in the future. There is no need to offend people anymore.

However, some small families who were not rich seemed to have seized the way to make money and immediately raised their hands and said, "The villain wants to report it!"

Four people were going to report it all at once, but Zhao Chengle was so bad. This was his way of dividing the enemy and he could also take the opportunity to make money for the Qin Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the great nobles who did not raise their hands were pale. Who knew if this group of people would not even let them go and quickly raised their hands and said, "I report it too!"

Zhao Cheng smiled sly and said, "Who, take them down and say it separately, and remember them all, Daqin never treats good people unfairly.

In addition, we have to work hard for a while for the house search. The guests who have reported the report can leave first. This meal will be made up for you in a few days.

We are still busy going to other houses tonight. Everyone, please listen. As long as the door is not opened, the spy will be killed and the house will be searched!"

"Hi!" The Qin army present agreed, and the sound shocked the aristocrats' ears hurt.

Zhao Cheng's last sentence seemed to be telling the soldiers, and in fact he told the "surrender factions" who reported others: hurry up and find your relatives and let them surrender as soon as possible to protect their lives!

Zhao Cheng's move is quite clever (actually Zhao Gao's idea). It not only makes these proactive surrenders feel that they have done the right thing, but also allows them to develop more downlines and increase their influence while creating a new interest group, a group that exists because of their submission to the Qin army!

In this way, Zhao Cheng didn't even need to pull his heavy cannon and take another step, so he could get the surrender of most of the gentry, which was much more efficient than scaring people.

Of course, before this, Zhao Cheng still wanted to choose two more unlucky guys in the family, which could be regarded as giving benefits to the army. After these gentry were done, they would still attack to fight the bandits.

Of course, there was no fool in the surrendered gentry. After hearing Zhao Cheng's words, they all bowed and left in a hurry, in order to go everywhere to inform and save those "lost" relatives and friends.

Seeing that they were trapped like this, Zhao Cheng winked at his subordinates and handed them a torch and lantern intimately so that they could move faster. Then the group of people scattered like ants coming out of their caves...

When Zhao Cheng saw that it was almost done, he asked the large army to rest here. He took more than 500 people and two cannons to head towards the second largest city nearby, and continued his "door invitation, on-site demolition" plan.

On the other hand, the entire Pingyang Hedong area was in a state of turmoil. Faced with Zhao Cheng's "violent law enforcement", they reacted differently but still couldn't get out of those factions.

It was just because of the spread of the surrender party that many small and medium-sized gentry who had been hesitant knew that the Qin Dynasty had "thunder" and chose to surrender and then sent people to report to Zhao Cheng while trying to persuade their relatives and friends.

By noon the next day, the Qin army had captured four fortresses from the Daqi clan city and fortresses that were not very popular on a regular basis, and accepted the surrender of sixteen large and small companies. At the beginning, the several companies were nearly two-thirds!

As for the others, they either were lucky or had not received any news from too far, but there was no more group in these two regions that could compete with the Qin army.
