Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 550: Xiongjin is defeated and refugees come to surrender

A thousand elite cavalrymen rushed into the city, posing a great yet not huge threat to Yin Weiming and others.

The reason for saying this is that if the cavalry enters the city first with their high mobility, they will open a hole in their defense, causing the troops in the rear to enter the city to fight, and the threat to them is self-evident.

But now, there are only one thousand cavalrymen entering the city, and the Kodo army behind them has not arrived yet. This has caused the threat posed by the one thousand cavalrymen, which were originally a great threat to them, to become much smaller.

As long as they can successfully kill all of these 1,000 elite cavalry before Kodo's army arrives at Xiongjin, Kodo's army will have no chance of entering the city smoothly.

Moreover, unlike the fighting on the plains, after the cavalry entered the city, their speed advantage would be greatly restrained, and these cavalry could only choose to abandon their horses and fight!

With the defenders in Xiongjin City, it is easy to kill all these thousand cavalrymen here.

"kill!"

The defenders rushed towards the cavalry like crazy.

But these cavalrymen were even more amazing. After capturing the city gate, they directly invited the people outside to enter the city.

At the same time, they abandoned their war horses, gathered together, and slashed the horses' buttocks with their swords.

The warhorse, in pain, rushed madly towards the defenders.

The defenders who had just attacked with knives were knocked flying by these war horses in just a moment, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

"Everyone hold the city gates, the general will be here soon!"

Lan Duolin held the knife and yelled, "As long as the army comes, Xiongjin will be ours!"

"Hold the city gate!"

"kill!"

Bastard bastard!

Under the protection of the generals and soldiers, Yin Weiming stared fiercely at the people from the Baishan tribe.

"How long will it take for Jin Chen to come over?"

"Your Excellency, I have already notified Lord Jin. I think Lord Jin will soon lead his troops to come to our aid."

"We must take back the city gate, otherwise Xiongjin will be in danger!"

Yin Weiming shouted, "Quickly take back the city gate! Go!"

The defenders who were dispersed by the war horses gathered together again. At the same time, a large number of archers hid behind these people and kept shooting arrows at Lan Duolin and others.

"shield!"

Lan Duolin shouted loudly, and while the people around him retreated in a staggered manner, the soldiers holding shields behind him raised their shields and blocked in front of them.

Ding ding ding.

Most of the falling arrows were blocked by the shields in their hands and did not cause much damage to them.

However, the defenders who followed made them feel more pressured.

Fortunately, the city gate was not tall and could only accommodate four carriages running in parallel. This meant that most of the defenders who rushed over could not cause trouble to Lan Duolin and others in the first place.

"Substitute!"

At the command, the wounded soldiers in front retreated and the soldiers behind them took over.

Wave after wave.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the city.

Yin Weiming's face changed drastically.

"Don't panic, sir. I'm waiting."

Jin Chen's voice came from a distance. Jin Chen was seen galloping out of the city with more than a dozen carriages, and at the same time he shouted to the defenders in front: "Retreat, everyone retreat!"

Hearing Jin Chen's voice, many defenders retreated.

at the same time.

Lan Duolin saw the speeding carriage through the gap in the crowd and his face changed drastically!

Damn!

They wanted to use the carriage to attack their defenses and block the city gate!

After discovering their intentions at a glance, Lan Duolin shouted, "Kill them!"

"Stop the carriage!"

call!
The torches set the carriage on fire, and the soldiers galloping on their horses jumped off the carriage as soon as they approached the city gate.

The horse pulled the flaming carriage and rushed straight towards Lan Duolin and others in the city cave.

"Kill out quickly!"

"Get away!"

Bang!
The soldiers who stepped forward to stop them were hit and flew out, and the carriage tilted and overturned.

But the next dozen or so carriages arrived in a flash.

……

outside the city.

Kodo has arrived with a large army.

Seeing the wide-open city gate and the figures fighting in the raging fire, Kodo raised his scimitar high.

"All soldiers, follow me and charge into Xiongjin!"

"Go to Xiongjin and rescue Lan Duolin!"

"kill!"

Seeing that the army led by Kodo had arrived, Yin Weiming suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.

too fast.

They moved too fast.

How can Xiongjin withstand their attack?
But if you can’t stop it, you will die!

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Don't let them get close to the city gate easily!"

Yin Weiming roared madly.

Arrows and stones kept falling from the sky.

Although some cavalrymen were pierced by falling arrows and smashed into pieces by falling rocks, no one retreated. Instead, their charge speed became faster and faster.

Naturally, the movements behind him could not be hidden from Lan Duolin and others.

After feeling the arrival of the reinforcements, Lan Duolin roared continuously and continued to fight with his companions around him to clear the area around the city gate so that the army could rush into the city as quickly as possible.

"kill!"

"What are you doing standing still?"

"Kill them for me, kill them!"

Jin Chen roared at the soldiers around him, but these defenders had already been frightened by the fearless fighting style of Lan Duolin and others.

Even if they die, they will take one or two people with them.

They were covered in blood, like demons walking out of a pool of blood, which was terrifying.

"Bastard!"

"Are you going to watch the thieves seize Xiongjin and watch your loved ones die in front of you?"

"All soldiers, follow me and kill!"

Jin Chen roared and rushed towards Lan Duolin and others with a knife in hand.

Perhaps it was Jin Chen's words that worked, or perhaps it was because of his personal example, the defenders who had been hesitant just now followed Jin Chen's pace.

"kill!"

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

The only way to prove who Xiongjin belongs to is to use the knife in your hand.

As the army led by Kodo successfully approached the city gate and quickly moved in, the defenders in the city were ultimately unable to resist.

Even though these people were cavalry, when they dismounted, their number was still much greater than theirs.

"Sir, Xiongjin has been lost."

Yin Weiming stared blankly at the cavalrymen who kept pouring into the city, and at the defenders of Xiongjin who fell in a pool of blood one by one and were unable to get up under the charge of these cavalrymen.

A sense of fear welled up in my heart.

No.

I can't die here!
"withdraw!"

Yin Weiming left a word and quickly headed towards the government office under the protection of many soldiers.

If Xiongjin cannot be defended, the unlucky ones will be the officials like them. And among these officials, he is the one with the highest position!
If Kodo wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, he would undoubtedly be the most suitable chicken.

"master?"

"Come with me and leave here."

Yin Weiming left without saying anything, taking his family with him. "But sir, the money in the family..."

"Stupid! If you have lost your life, what do you want money for?"

Yin Weiming shouted angrily, not giving his wife and other relatives a chance to respond, and took everyone into the carriage.

Xiongjin could not be defended. They had already been prepared when they learned that all their main forces had died in the Han River, but they did not expect it to happen so soon.

One carriage after another, under the protection of the soldiers, quickly headed towards the west gate.

however.

After the cavalry entered the city, the people in the city had already gathered at the city gate in panic, wanting to escape.

The huge crowd made it impossible for the carriage to move forward.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"The governor wants to leave the city!"

Some soldiers who were protecting Yin Weiming directly picked up the long swords in their hands and began to intimidate the people in front of them.

But at a time when their lives were at stake, why would they care whether Yin Weiming was the governor or not?
He is just an ordinary person who wants to escape like them.

"My lord, it's impossible to get through."

"kill!"

Yin Weiming's eyes flashed with ferocity, "Kill anyone who blocks the way!"

"This……"

The soldiers were obviously hesitant.

"If we don't escape from the city now, we won't have a chance!"

Yin Weiming said angrily: "Do you also want to die here?"

"……Yes!"

The long swords fell, and the people who stood in front of them fell to the ground wailing.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of a large number of people. They retreated in fear and made way for the carriage where Yin Weiming was.

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

"Where is Yin Weiming escaping?!"

Damn!

Hearing the sound of horse hooves and the other party calling out his name, Yin Weiming was horrified.

This is directed at him!
"Protect your lord!"

"What are you still standing there for? Follow me and kill the enemy!"

"Get out of here, everyone!"

The soldiers waved their weapons angrily and wanted to escape as quickly as possible, but the oppressive feeling from the cavalry made them unable to help but rush towards the city gate.

Dozens of guards stepped forward to stop the cavalry, but in just a few breaths, they were all dealt with by Kodo and others who arrived.

"Yin Weiming!"

"As the governor of Xiongjin, you killed the people under your jurisdiction just to save your own life. Are you worthy of the people of Xiongjin?"

Kodo sneered and led his troops to surround the city gate.

As for the soldiers guarding the city gate, they ran away as soon as they saw Kodo and others.

Even Yin Weiming was busy escaping, so how could they joke about their own lives?
"Kodo!"

Yin Weiming got off the carriage and said in a deep voice, "Can you please let me live?"

"hehe."

Kodo sneered, "Compared to Jin Chen, you are like heaven and earth."

"For the sake of Xiongjin, Jin Chen led the garrison fearlessly to stop us. On the other hand, you, the governor, treated the people like grass for the sake of your own life."

"What's the point of keeping someone like you?"

"Kodo, do you really want to fight to the death?"

"ridiculous!"

"Now that things have come to this, why don't you just quickly prepare to be killed?"

Kodo waved.

As for the guards around Yin Weiming, he didn't take them seriously at all.

Even though these people were Yin Weiming's carefully selected family generals, they still had no ability to fight back in front of the army.

But in a blink of an eye.

All the soldiers around Yin Weiming fell to the ground.

Seeing Kodo approaching with a knife, Yin Weiming fell to the ground in fear.

Kodo looked at the civilians who were killed by Yin Weiming's men, as well as the people around him who were hostile to him, and threw the knife in his hand at one of them.

"Your mother died tragically at his hands. I will give you a chance to take revenge. Do you dare to kill him?"

Looking at the old mother in his arms, and then at the scimitar on the ground, the man put his mother down with red eyes, quickly picked up the long knife, and slashed towards Yin Weiming.

"No!"

"I'm the governor, you can't kill me!"

"Go to your mother's governor!"

Puff. Puff. Puff.

With one strike after another, the man desperately vented the hatred in his heart.

See this.

Other people whose relatives were killed also picked up the swords on the ground and started hacking at Yin Weiming.

But in the blink of an eye, Yin Weiming turned into a ball of meat paste, and these people turned their heads and set their eyes on Yin Weiming's relatives.

"do not want!"

"Do not kill me!"

"It was those soldiers who killed your relatives. It has nothing to do with us..."

But these people are already blood-thirsty, why would they care about these things?
One by one they raised their knives and chopped at him.

In just an incense stick of time, Yin Weiming and his relatives all died at the city gate.

After killing everyone, they seemed to have exhausted all their resentment and strength. They dropped their swords and burst into tears.

Kodo waved his hand, and the soldiers came forward one by one and began to count the people to see if there were any soldiers hiding among them.

"I am Kodo, a general under the command of King Shoulder to Shoulder."

Kodo glanced at the panicked crowd and said loudly, "The King of Baekje angered His Majesty, which led to this disaster. But this is the King of Baekje's fault, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"I can assure you here that as long as you behave yourself, I will never hurt any of you."

"Also, I have already given the order to open the granary, and someone will arrange for your meals later."

"Those who have homes will go back on their own, and those who have no homes will all return to their previous resettlement sites."

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand."

After seeing Kodo's assurance that he would not harm them and distributing food, the people gradually calmed down.

But he always had some doubts about Kodo and others.

"Report!"

"General, Xiongjin has been completely controlled. Hundreds of refugees have come to the outside of the city and said they want to see you."

"Oh?"

Kodo looked puzzled, "Why do they want to see me?"

"General, they said they came to Xiongjin to escape. You didn't harm them, but they almost died at the hands of Xiongjin's defenders."

"If the general had not arrived immediately, they would have certainly died. Now they have seen through the hypocrisy of the Baekje Dynasty and are willing to follow the general to attack Fengshan City and capture the Baekje king alive!"

Hear the words.

Not only Kodo was stunned, but even the common people were the same.

Incredible.

There were refugees who wanted to join the Tang army and attack Fengshan City to capture the King of Baekje alive!

"Good good!"

Kodo laughed and clapped his hands.

Unexpectedly, someone would be willing to follow them so soon.

in this way.

Why worry about not having infantry to attack cities and capture territories?
As long as they make a little use of it, their momentum moving south will be unstoppable!
