Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 612 Occupying Yi County
Before the three sentry soldiers could react, they were knocked unconscious with sticks by the sneak attacking soldiers. Song Jun also followed Fan Ning's instructions and tried not to kill the Han soldiers, mainly living prisoners. Of course, this also depends on The situation cannot be pedantic. Before the two armies are in battle, if you don't kill the other side, the other side will kill you. That is stupid.

In situations like a surprise attack on a city, massacres can be avoided. The Flying Tigers quickly discovered that more than [-] soldiers on the top of the city were sleeping inside the tower. , more than [-] soldiers were unconscious.

Except for a hundred Song army scouts, there were no other soldiers on Nancheng. This surprised the Song army scouts. They didn't expect that Yi County's defenses were so loose. city.

The other ten soldiers are sleeping in the city cave. It is sheltered from the wind, warm and dry, and it is very comfortable to sleep. It is second only to the city tower. Flying Tiger battalion general Li Jian led fifty scouts to block the last dozen defenders Inside the cave, they had to kneel and surrender obediently.

A mile away, Yang Wenguang stared intently at the city gate. There was no movement on the top of the city. He felt a little uneasy. Could it be that he made a mistake in his judgment and the Flying Tigers were ambushed?

impossible!Yang Wen warned himself to be calm and wait patiently.

At this moment, flames appeared on the top of the city, the city gate began to be lowered slowly, and the surrounding soldiers cheered excitedly, Yang Wenguang punched the dirt hard, got up and got on his horse, and shouted to his subordinates: "Enter the city! "

Ten thousand Song soldiers followed Yang Wenguang and rushed to the city of Yi County. After a while, the city gate was wide open. The battalion general Li Jian was waiting at the gate. Yang Wenguang saw Li Jian and quickly stopped his horse. How's it going?"

"The Liao army is still sleeping, but I am worried that if there is an attack on the barracks, the defenders at the other three gates may flee. Should we send troops outside the city to block them?"

Yang Wenguang pondered for a moment and said: "The original purpose is to let the Liao army know, disrupt his follow-up deployment, don't worry about a few city gates, if the defenders want to escape, let them go, and concentrate on solving the defenders in the city!"

"Follow the order!"

Li Jian led Song Jun to the barracks in the city.

Not long after, [-] Song troops had surrounded the general camp, 'Boom! With a loud noise, soldiers of the Song Army smashed a big hole in the outer wall of the Bingjiaku with a giant log, and more than a thousand soldiers rushed in and occupied the Bingjiaku of the barracks.

At this time, the soldiers of the Liao army in the barracks had been awakened. They were all at a loss. They didn't have any weapons in their hands, but they were stored in the armory. More than 3000 soldiers were unarmed, and they didn't know what to do.

At this time, a soldier of the Song Army shouted: "We are all Han Chinese. We don't want to kill our brothers. Those who come out and surrender will be released unconditionally and go home. If you resist stubbornly, you will be shot!"

"We surrender!"

The nearest group of Han soldiers ran out with their hands raised, and some soldiers immediately took them down. Soon, more soldiers came out to surrender one after another.

In less than half an hour, more than 500 people came out to surrender, but there were still about [-] people who did not move.

"Give you the last chance, if you don't surrender, the Song army will attack and will not accept surrender."

The soldiers shouted four or five times in a row, but there was still no movement in the barracks.

Yang Wenguang felt a little bad, and waved to the spearmen behind him, and hundreds of spearmen walked slowly into the barracks.

At this moment, a loud cry erupted in the barracks, and four to five hundred people rushed out of the barracks, holding sticks, chairs, and other items, rushing desperately towards the armory.

The soldiers of the Song army in Bingjiaku fired arrows in unison, and the soldiers of the Liao army rushing forward screamed and fell down, shooting and killing more than a hundred people in an instant.

Yang Wenguang also shouted sharply: "Rush up, kill!"

Thousands of spearmen rushed up, and the remaining three hundred or so people backed away in fright. Many people knelt down and begged for mercy. Dozens of Khitan soldiers and generals rushed up with their knives. Dao, they refused to surrender and wanted to break out.

Hundreds of spearmen swarmed up and stabbed randomly, and the Khitans fell to the ground one after another. In just a moment, more than fifty Khitan generals and soldiers were stabbed to death. The remaining Han soldiers knelt down and surrendered, seeing that the situation was over.

They didn't have such good luck. Yang Wenguang knew that although these people were Han people, they were actually Liao people. Leaving them can only be a disaster, and they will come back sooner or later. Yang Wenguang coldly ordered: "All kill!"

It was useless to beg, and in the midst of screams, more than [-] people were shot and killed with random arrows.

When he came out of the barracks, he saw Li Jian leading soldiers escorting more than 150 people. Li Jian went forward and reported: "These are the soldiers guarding the other three city gates. They didn't want to escape and surrendered themselves."

Yang Wenguang nodded, "Arrange them with other surrendered soldiers and release them after dawn."

As the sky gradually dawned, the Song Army had already taken control of the entire Yi County, and they were not innocent. Almost all the houses of the Khitan people were seized by the soldiers, and the Khitan people and their families were sent to the barracks for temporary detention. Yang Wenguang was a veteran after all. He didn't intend to massacre the Khitan people, but gave them some food and let them leave on their own.

Although more than [-]% of Yi County is Han Chinese, there were no scenes of countless Han people happily running out to welcome the Song army to go north. The streets were deserted, and the residents in the city were very frightened. Peek outside.

What Yang Wenguang cared about was grain. He brought several generals to the warehouse in Yi County. There are three warehouses in Yi County, one county warehouse, one state warehouse, and the other belongs to Nanjing Road. The county warehouse and state warehouse are both local grain warehouses. There is not a lot of grain in the storehouse. There are [-] shi in the county storehouse and [-] shi in the state storehouse, which are basically the taxed grain from last year and have not been released to Nanjing Road.

However, the grain depot belonging to Nanjing Road is a combat preparation grain depot. It consists of ten warehouses, mainly to provide logistical supplies for the Liao army attacking Taiyuan. It has 20 shi of grain, 15 dans of forage, and a large amount of military supplies. , and countless mutton frozen in the cellar.

Yang Wenguang is overjoyed that there is so much food, enough to feed his army for a year.

At this time, soldiers came over with more than a dozen officials. The state official was a Khitan, trembling with fear, his face pale.

Yang Wenguang glanced at them and said, "Don't embarrass them, let them go!"

A dozen officials thanked them and left, but the county magistrate did not. Yang Wenguang was a little surprised and asked, "I let you go, why didn't you go?"

The county magistrate said indifferently: "I am a county parent official, how can I leave my own people and leave?"

Seeing that he was quite responsible, Yang Wenguang asked, "What's your name?"

"My servant, Kong Ran, is from Yizhou."

"Your family is in Yi County?"

"Exactly! My wife, children, and parents are all in Yi County."

"Then you will stay and continue to be the county magistrate, but not the county magistrate of the Liao Kingdom, but the county magistrate of the Song Dynasty. Can you accept it?"

Kong Ran hesitated and said, "But I am a Jinshi from the Liao Kingdom!"

Yang Wenguang waved his hand, "I didn't care what you did before, I only care about you in the future, as long as you can work hard to be the county magistrate, I will show your credit to Mr. Fan."

Kong Ran bowed deeply, "As a Han Chinese, I am willing to serve my motherland!"

Yang Wenguang followed him to the county yamen in his heart, and saw dozens of elders standing at the gate of the county yamen. When they saw the county magistrate Kong coming, they quickly stepped forward to surround him, "Magistrate Kong, the officers and soldiers didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Kong Ran clasped his fists and said to the crowd: "Fellow folks, I am still the county magistrate, but I am already the county magistrate of Song Dynasty. Thank you for your concern!"

"As long as County Magistrate Kong is here, we are willing to change our flag and return to the Great Song Dynasty."

Kong Ran quickly introduced Yang Wenguang to everyone, "This old general Yang is the son of Yang Yanzhao and the grandson of Yang Jiye. He is a generous elder. If you have any requests or questions, you can ask him."

The story of Yang Family General was not only widely circulated in the Song Dynasty, but also widely known in Yanshan Mansion. When everyone heard that this old general was the head of the Yang Family General, they immediately respected him and saluted together.

An elder asked, "May I ask Old General Yang, will the Song army occupy Yizhou temporarily or permanently?"

Another elder also said: "Old General Yang, the Khitan people have lived with us for a hundred years, we live in peace, I beg the old general not to kill them."

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Yang Wenguang waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you three things. First, since I, Yang Wenguang, have come to Yizhou, I will never leave again. I believe that with the strong national strength of my Great Song Dynasty and the wise and powerful young monarch, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be able to do so." The day of retaking Yanyun Sixteen States will not be far away.

Second, the Great Song Dynasty is an army of benevolence and righteousness, and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. As for the Khitan people in the city, I will let them go and will not massacre them.

Third, I will distribute the wealth of the Khitan people and the grain in the county warehouse to the people of the county. Starting today, the people of Yizhou will be exempted from tax for ten years. "

After Yang Wenguang finished speaking, all the elders applauded enthusiastically.
