Chapter 936

When the heavy city gate that was wrapped in iron slowly opened under the cold night, the impatient Xiliang cavalry who were lying in the ice and snow outside the city, huddled noisy and loud cheers. Along with the cheers of the Xiliang vanguard cavalry outside the city, there were also the terrifying screams of the defenders who had just been sneaked up at the city gate.

However, there are two voices, one is carnival, and the other is despair and fear of death.

The east gate of Fengyi City has been opened, and like a girl in a brothel, she took off her skirt and spread her thighs.

Ma Ning split the head of a man who was frightened like a headless fly with an axe. A stream of warm blood splattered on his face, making him feel a strange feeling. After sneaking down the East City Gate, Feng Yi almost took it down. However, Ma Ning was not very excited and happy at this time, but there was an indescribable feeling, as if it was empty and extremely empty.

He forcibly marched for more than 200 miles a day and night, and in such a harsh wind and snowy day, although he did not encounter any obstacles along the way, hundreds of Xiliang men were left along the way by the wind and snow alone.

Warm blood poured over the gate of the East City, and even the white snow was dyed red. There were dozens of corpses standing upside down on the ground. These were originally just farmers' defenders. Although they had been replaced with broken armor and spears and swords, they were just a group of farmers who had weapons after all. They were incomparable to Ma Ning and the Northwest Cavalry who were licking blood on the knife heads. After being attacked, they could not stop them and were destroyed at the city gate.

The Xiliang cavalry outside the city were already shouting and rushing through the open city gate and pouring into Fengyi City.

Ma Ning also turned over the horse, and the iron armor on his body was already frozen, making a rustling sound. Two officers who didn't know where they were sleeping just now were wearing armor and carrying a horizontal sword and rushed over fiercely. Although the two men had fierce faces and were very powerful, the city gate had already opened at this time, and the defenders at the city gate either died or fled. The two of them rushed over like this, just bluffing.

The two officers slashed their swords, but the momentum showed that they were all veterans who had experienced actual combat. However, in Ma Ning's eyes, their movements were still full of flaws. Ma Ning's face was cold, and he raised his hand and threw the battle axe in his hand out of melee just now. The battle axe was whistling loudly, and the axe blade instantly inserted on one of the officers' heads like a thunder. The officer's head, which had not yet been in a hurry, suddenly appeared red and white, and his mind was flowing.

With the battle axe taking action, Ma Ning quickly picked up the spear on the horse, clamped his legs and rode forward. The spear shook, and suddenly it seemed like thousands of pears blooming in the cold night. Before another officer reacted, four or five deep blood holes had been pierced in his chest.

The war horses roared past, and the two officers Xu Jun behind slowly fell into the pool of blood in the snow.

At this time, most of the Xiliang cavalry had passed through the city gate and roared into the city. Near the East City Gate, the sound of battle had awakened some civilians. Many people dressed in clothes and opened a crack in the door in horror, and then they saw countless cavalry rushing into the city from the East Gate and rushing into the city quickly along the long street.

It was too dark at night, and the residents in the crack in the door couldn't see who was coming, but the rumbling iron hooves hit the sound of the long street still shocked them to the point of being silent. Many people were already screaming in horror, as if only in this way could they relieve some of the fear in their hearts.

Ma Ning stabbed two more Xu Jun who were running away in chaos to death. At this time, Ma Wu had already rode a horse into the city with a number of officers. Ma Ning rode a horse and speared, and stopped to meet with them.

"If you pass the order, the Cavalry Camp rushed straight to the prefect's office and other officials, the Feiqi Camp rushed to the city's barracks. In addition, the Xiongwu Camp immediately divided its troops to control the four gates, the Fenwu Camp cleared the streets, and searched for officials and deserters! Before dawn, I want to control the entire city of Fengyi!"

After a pause, Ma Ning said again: "Tell your brothers that after all control, all the property in the city will be respected by Your Majesty's will and will be sent to the soldiers!"

The Xiliang cavalry cheered loudly. Although they had just attacked the East City Gate, in their opinion, the entire Fengyi had already been taken down. When they thought of the countless wealth of Fengyi City, which is a major city in Guanzhong, would immediately belong to them. All the soldiers were not tired or cold, and a raging fire ignited in their hearts. They wanted to clear the whole city immediately and then divide all the wealth.

"General Ma Wu, you should take Zhenwu camp to inspect and supervise. You must not let the soldiers set fire to the fire, and you must not let the soldiers rob, or rob, or privately hide spoils. When we followed Xue Ju in the past, we slaughtered many cities, villages and towns, but now we are Chen Jun and have long joined His Majesty the Emperor. The Chen Jun has always paid the most military discipline. Now we are a great contribution to the acquisition of Feng Yi, and Your Majesty has already promised us a generous reward. I don't want to make trouble and let my brothers bleed without any more. I will give this task to you."

Ma Wu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but curse Ma Ning in his heart. When the Western Liang cavalry defected to Xue Ju, they were always used as cannon fodder, charging forward and retreating behind. Moreover, the Western Liang soldiers were not valued, and they never had military pay, and even the supply of food and grass was not as good as that of other Qin troops.

The Xiliang cavalry followed Xue Ju for several years and basically survived by their own robbery. Since Ma Wu defected to Xue Ju, he remembered very clearly that he led his subordinates to slaughter eight cities. These eight cities were the hardest bones to crack and were handed over to them by Xue Ju. Moreover, Xue Ju clearly stated that their supplies were seized by them in war. The eight cities were all those who refused to surrender. Many Xiliang soldiers were killed and injured during the siege. After the city was finally broken, they were all slaughtered. They were killed, burned, and robbed!

The people of Xiliang are not afraid of war, and the people of Xiliang are not pitiful to the weak, and the cities they have been captured are generally difficult to preserve.

Now Ma Ning told him that he was responsible for inspecting the war discipline, that the brothers entering the city would not burn, kill or rob, or even protect the city, which was undoubtedly an offensive thing. However, under the roof, he had to bow his head. At the beginning, he had to take a lot of people and was above Ma Ning. But now, Ma Ning is his boss, and he could not resist at all.

"Yes, General! The last one will do their best to ensure that Feng Yi will not be hurt."

Ma Ning's eyes saw Ma Wu's reaction. Of course, he knew the habits of the Xiliang soldiers. After a arduous marching and snow broke through the city, a massacre of the city was undoubtedly the most exciting thing. However, since he had already surrendered to the Chen Dynasty, he understood that the Xiliang soldiers could no longer do the same as before. The Chen army was good at fighting and emphasized military discipline. Although he did not want to ruin the excitement of the soldiers, he also knew the serious consequences of his subordinates after the massacre of the city.

Ma Wu led a battalion of men and horses to gallop around, declaring military orders in the city over and over again.

Ma Wu was the commander of the Western Liang army. Before he defected to Xue Ju, he was the patriarch of a large village in the Qiang people in Longyou. Although he has become Ma Ning's deputy general, he personally declared the military situation and still suppressed the Xiliang soldiers who originally wanted to kill a happy Xiliang army. He also met several guys who were happy and unwilling to obey the orders. Ma Wu had a dark face and ordered the soldiers to kill the Zhenwu camp on the spot, and then asked the cavalry to carry spears and heads to the heads of the people, and then comforted the soldiers.

Ma Ning and his personal guards rode their horses to the north of the city, where the prefect and the guardian general's mansion were located. The prefect's mansion with a big drum in front of the yamen had broken the door and opened the courtyard. A group of Xiliang cavalry dismounted with a scimitar were shouting and scolding dozens of men and women prisoners. The Xiliang soldiers laughed and drove them down like a group of sheep. One prisoner might have a leg injury, his feet sprained, and the man fell on the steps. A Xiliang soldier cursed and waved his sword and slashed the prisoner's back. The blood of the prisoner seemed to be dry, his body was almost split in half, but the blood was not much flowing out. He was in the snow on the spot and could never get up again.

It is said that this is the military discipline of the Chen Dynasty. However, the people of Xiliang did not have this idea. The lack of massacre of the city was their biggest concession. If they still had to treat these prisoners carefully, it would be impossible.

Ma Ning stepped forward and looked at the group of prisoners. A few were Xu Bing in armor, and some men were dressed in brocade robes, which seemed to be rich. Other women were young and old, and they could recognize them by looking at the clothes. One of them must be the female family members of the government, and the other were the maids and mothers.

"Where is Pei Qiantong?" Ma Ning just glanced over and knew that the prisoners here must not have Feng Yi's prefect and garrison general, Xu's Duke Ju, and Guanglu Dafu Pei Qiantong.

One of the Xu soldiers who drove away the prisoners was their team leader.

"Report to the general that Pei Qiantong was not in Fengyi City. Since guarding Fengyi, the old boy has been greedy for the prosperity of Changchun Palace in the south of Mucheng, and has always been living in Changchun Palace on the excuse of guarding the palace."

Ma Ning frowned and quickly interrogated the prisoners before he realized that it was no wonder that the city was broken so smoothly. It turned out that Pei Qiantong not only hid in Changchun Palace to enjoy himself, but also brought the original five thousand defenders of Fengyi City to his side. Tonight there were only two thousand defenders in the city, otherwise it would be impossible to steal the city gate, and it would be so easy that there would be no resistance everywhere.

Changchun Palace is twenty miles south of Fengyi City. It was originally an open palace built by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian. Now it was regarded as his place of happiness by Pei Qiantong. Ma Ning turned a frown in his heart. He had no time to conduct reconnaissance before, but he did not expect that there would be such a thing. If Pei Qiantong discovered something here and reported to Linjin or Tongguan, it would be a big trouble.
