    In the dark night, the lights inside and outside Dingping are brightly lit.  The whole west city is even more heavily guarded.  Xicheng is not the main attack area of ??Zhao army, so there are only four thousand defenders on Xicheng.  Among them, there were 2,000 Bingzhou Army and 2,000 Bingzhou Northern Army.  The main general is Qin Ling from the Bingzhou Army, and the deputy general is naturally from the Bingzhou Northern Army.

    "General, the Bingzhou Army Camp has sent two thousand reinforcements here!" On the west city, when deputy general Cao Yong found out that there were troops arriving in the city, he sent someone to conduct a detailed investigation.

    "Two thousand reinforcements? So, the Bingzhou Army camp in the city is basically empty. What does Yang Li want to do when he dispatches all the soldiers and horses?" Although there are also people outside the West City.  Zhao Jun's traces were found, but they were just traces. There was no sign of approaching, and they seemed to be just suspicious soldiers used to contain them.

    "Replying to the general, reinforcements have been sent to each of the four gates of the city. According to reports from the south gate, the Zhao army's offensive has become stronger tonight. Therefore, just in case, the garrison of the camp is sent to each gate. Since  Yang Li asked his soldiers to dispatch the west gate and the north gate, so why should we stop him? The general hopes that all the Bingzhou troops will be used to defend the city. What Yang Li is doing now is just what the general wants. "

    "Well, that's right! If the Zhao army doesn't attack, then let the Bingzhou army attack." Cao Yong said with a sneer, "The general is still too kind. He should have dealt with the Bingzhou army commander and annexed the Bingzhou army.  . Otherwise, why would such painstaking surveillance be necessary?¡±

    At the same time, on the west city gate tower, Qin Ling, the commander-in-chief of the Bingzhou Army, saw Yang Li, who was supposed to be in the camp.

    "General, there were originally 2,000 troops each from our army and the Northern Army from Bingzhou on the west city. Now, our army's reinforcements have arrived, and they are already twice as many as them. The best thing is that in order to monitor our army, Cao Gang let our army  Once the soldiers are mixed with their soldiers, that's the best time."

    Yang Li, who was wearing an ordinary captain's armor, took a deep look outside the city and said, "How are the arrangements among the soldiers? Also, are Zhao Jun's people here?"

    "My subordinates have already told all the officers above the team leader. Presumably, some of the soldiers are aware of the situation now. Once they take action, the remaining soldiers will follow suit. As for the Zhao army, they are also here, and my subordinates have already  There are only five of them arranged among the defenders, and they are responsible for instructing Zhao Jun outside the city on the results of our army's actions. Zhao Xun is indeed a cautious person, leaving no hidden dangers in anything," Qin Ling said softly.

    Yang Lidao: "At this time, he has to be cautious. This is not the life and death of ten or a hundred people, but the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers. If he doesn't do this, can you and I rest assured? Okay, get ready to act.  . First, take care of the generals of the Northern Army on the city wall." As he said this, his eyes suddenly showed an evil look.  Things have reached this situation, and he can only be cruel.  Otherwise, after the city is broken, he will be a prisoner.

    "Come here, let the chief officers of each department come to discuss military affairs!" Qin Ling ordered with a sneer.  As the commander-in-chief of Xicheng, he is naturally qualified to summon officers and generals from various ministries to discuss matters.

    "General Qin, we just need to wait for the Zhao army to attack. There is nothing else to discuss." Cao Yong, with an impatient look on his face, was the last one to arrive at the meeting place of the generals in the city tower. He had to obey Qin Ling's military orders.  Very unhappy.

    Qin Ling did not reply. He glanced around coldly and saw that his personal guards had vaguely surrounded everyone, and his generals were also among the generals of the Bingzhou Northern Army. He nodded slightly.

    "Kill!" There was a loud shout, and a silver light flashed.

    "You" Before Cao Yong could react, he felt a chill on his neck and lost consciousness in an instant.  While Qin Ling was shouting violently, half of the more than 20 officers above the rank of captain swung their swords to slash at the other half beside them.

    "Blow the trumpet! Take action!" Yang Li, who had changed into the general's armor, said sternly, "Kill the Northern Army and open the city gates!"

    "Kill the Northern Army!"

    "Kill the Northern Army!"

    In an instant, there were shouts of killing on the city wall. Amidst the angry shouts of the Bingzhou Army officers and some soldiers, the Bingzhou Army began to raid the Bingzhou Northern Army around them.  The Bingzhou Northern Army was not prepared to take precautions, and most of them were killed by the Bingzhou Army in an instant.  Although the Bingzhou Northern Army also fought back desperately, the Bingzhou Army was in a surprise attack and had a large number of people, but the Bingzhou Northern Army did not even have an effective command.

    While the Bingzhou Army was moving, Zhao Jun¡¯s spies on the city wall who saw this scene immediately waved torches and spoke code words.  Outside the city wall, in the dark distance, a large fire suddenly appeared less than five miles away.  Immediately, the rumble of horse hooves began.

    ¡°Creak, creak¡­¡± The suspension bridge was blocked and the city gate was slowly opened.  Five thousand cavalry troops came in a hurry and rushed into Dingping County, a city with a strong city and thick pond

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Report Lord, the West City has been captured by our army, and the vanguard and the army have entered the city!  "Behind Zhao Jun's military formation, Zhao Xun received a military report from Xicheng.

    "Very good! Send the order, the whole army will attack fiercely! Destroy the city!" Zhao Xun ordered quietly.

    "The king has an order! The entire army attacks the city!"

    Immediately, Zhao Jun, who had retreated slightly, launched a fierce attack again.  Suddenly, the catapult that had stopped roared again.  The watermelon-sized stone bullets rose into the air again and fell onto the city with a whistling sound.  In the dark night, the traces of stone bullets in the sky could not be seen clearly, but the whistling sound was even more frightening.  The defenders who had been excited to fight back the Zhao army's offensive suddenly suffered a great disaster.

    "Boom, boom, boom" The giant stone hammered the city, and the huge impact sounded continuously in an instant. The entire southern city wall began to groan and tremble. Many recruits were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies were like chaff.  There was an unlucky guy who even lost his footing.  Wailing, he fell from the gap in the city wall and was thrown to death under the city

    Of course, there were soldiers who were directly hit by stones, with broken bones and tendons, and died miserably in the execution ground. There were also soldiers who were smashed into burning oil pots with a loud bang.  The pot was shattered, oil was splashing, and flames were raging. The surrounding soldiers, even the soldiers who started to hide behind the female wall, had no time to escape, and were instantly swallowed up by the raging fire.  After the stone bullets came, more soldiers panicked. Before they had time to dodge, their heads or bodies were broken off, and they were smashed to the ground.

    "Boom!" "Cang Dang"

    A huge boulder almost passed by the ear of Cao Gang, who had just bowed his head, and hit the tower heavily, immediately creating a dent in the tower paved with blue bricks.  Several pieces of the hard green bricks were smashed into pieces, revealing the mottled loess underneath.  Several torches on his head were knocked away and scattered around

    "Damn Zhao Jun is crazy tonight?" Cao Gang looked gloomy, touched his sore ears, and cursed secretly.

    No matter what was happening above the city wall, the Zhao army that had become the enemy swarmed in. The carriages quickly approached and began to build a pontoon bridge on the moat. After that, the infantry carrying the ladders advanced rapidly.  As for the large equipment such as siege towers, they have been put aside for the moment.  After all, one of the four Dingping gates has been breached.  Presumably, the North Gate, guarded by half of the Bingzhou Army, would soon be captured by the Zhao Army with the help of the internal and external forces.

    "General, it seems that the Zhao army is going to attack tonight!" Cao Feng said with a shocked look on his face.

    "Damn it! We must block it. In a few days, even if the city is broken, we can still preserve the continuation of our Cao family. We must not let Zhao Xun, a traitor, break the peace. Send an order to the entire army to defend, and also, let the camp south of the city be  All the soldiers have been mobilized, and except for the patrol soldiers, they are all ready to fight to the death. I don¡¯t believe it, Zhao Xun is confident that he can break through here tonight?" Cao Gang said with hatred, his eyes were red.

    "It's a pity that we are trapped here, and the catapults and bed crossbows in our hands have been exhausted. Otherwise, how could Zhao Jun's catapults bully us like this. Damn it!" As he said this, Cao Gang punched him with hatred.  Behind the broken parapet next to her.

    "If I had known earlier, I should have retreated to the northern grasslands with the Turks. Maybe we could rise again." Cao Gang became more and more angry as he thought about it, thinking that he, a noble prince, had now fallen to such a state, becoming a turtle in the urn.

    "Uncle, after a few days, the passage is dug. Why don't you leave at night and enter the northern Turkic grassland? Then join forces with Xue Nie Khan. One day, you will be able to avenge this blood and enter Bingzhou and even the Central Plains.  "The guard commander Cao Xi said in a muffled voice.

    "Huh? This might not be a different path" As soon as he heard what Cao Xi said, Cao Gang started to think about it.  His original plan was to rush out and attract Zhao Jun after the passage was opened, while letting the younger generation of the clan leave quietly.  But now that I think about it, maybe I can use this to leave.  Forget it, let¡¯s wait until after tonight¡¯s battle.

    "General, the situation is not good. For some reason, many of the Bingzhou soldiers who were originally guarding the city took advantage of the chaos and fled. In particular, some officers have already disappeared." Cao Feng hurried over to report back.

    "What? Bingzhou Army What will Yang Li do again? What does he want to do?" Cao Gang suddenly became furious and had a very bad feeling in his heart. He even felt a little cold in his heart.

    "Could it be thatit can't beit can't be" Suddenly, Cao Gang's face changed drastically, his voice trembled, and he was inexplicably horrified.

    "General, did you send someone to the Bingzhou Army barracks to ask Yang Li how he trained his subordinates to escape during the battle!" Cao Xi said dissatisfied.

    "ReportGeneralGeneral, something bad has happened, Zhao Jun has entered the city!" At this moment, a school captain hurried up from the city and reported to Cao Gang in a hurry.

    "Boom" Cao Gang suddenly felt dizzy, and the question he was most worried about wasAppeared.  The officers of the Bingzhou Army disappeared from the top of the city, and the Bingzhou Army fled in panic. This was already a dangerous matter. Coupled with Zhao Jun's performance tonight, he understood everything immediately.

    "Yang LiYang Li, you deserve to dieyou deserve to die!" Cao Gang suddenly roared sternly.

    "What's going on? How did Zhao Jun enter the city?" Cao Feng turned pale and shouted sternly.  Although he already knew the situation from Cao Gang's roar, he still couldn't believe it now.

    "General Cao, the Bingzhou Army in Xicheng rebelled, killed our soldiers and sacrificed the city gate. Now, Zhao's 30,000-strong army has entered the city and entered the city." The captain said repeatedly.

    "Report report to the general, Beicheng has been captured, Zhao army has entered the city!"

    "Pfft" Cao Gang spit out a mouthful of blood and immediately fainted to the ground.

    Cao Gang fainted, and there was chaos on the city wall. Zhao Jun had already entered the city, and the soldiers around Cao Gang immediately spread the news.  Coupled with the sudden rebellion of the Bingzhou soldiers on the city wall, chaos broke out in Nancheng in an instant.

    "Boom"

    The last boulder roared over and landed on the south city tower. This boulder finally became the straw that broke the camel's back. As the dust gradually filled the air, the three-story wooden watchtower collapsed.  Dozens of panicked defenders were buried alive in an instant.

    ¡°The Cao family is unruly, those who surrender will avoid death!¡± The sky-shattering shouts appeared on the top of the city along with the ladders coming up one after another.  Cao Gang's fainting and the departure of some officers immediately caused the defenders on the city wall to completely lose their will to resist.

    "Boom" Above the southern city, the Cao's commander-in-chief flag of the Bingzhou Northern Army was finally cut down, and what followed were the Zhao army's flaming unicorn flag and Zhao Zishuai flag

    "Okay, the overall situation has been decided, let's get ready to enter the city!" Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile while looking at the deafening shouts coming from the city in the distance.

    Dongping City suddenly fell into chaos. After the south gate was captured, Zhao Jun who entered from the north gate also captured the east gate.  All four gates were captured by the Zhao army, and the Bingzhou Northern Army in the city had no way to escape.  When Cao Gang was in a coma and disappeared, and Cao's generals disappeared one after another, the Bingzhou Northern Army surrendered one after another.  After an hour of fighting, Dingping County finally fell into the hands of Zhao Jun. This was also the last city in Bingzhou captured by Zhao Xun.  In other words, since then, the entire Bingzhou area has completely fallen into the hands of the Zhao army, and there is no longer an organized hostile army in the Bingzhou area.

    "General Yang Li! Meet His Highness the King of Zhao!" Yang Li led the generals of the Bingzhou Army to meet with Zhao Xun, the new owner of Bingzhou, at the residence of Cao Gang, the former general of the Northern Army in Bingzhou.

    "No courtesy! General Yang is indispensable for being able to capture this place so smoothly this time. If General Yang had not repented in time and changed his tactics, I am afraid that even if our army could capture this place, the casualties would have been even greater."

    "However, since General Yang has surrendered to this article, this must be done in accordance with the rules of our Zhao army. General Yang and the generals behind you will arrange future positions according to your abilities and merits, but the Bingzhou Army must  Reorganization is also a rule. General Yang should be able to understand that the military discipline and training methods of our soldiers are different from those of other subsequent armies. Moreover, this is what we discussed at the beginning, and General Yang has no objection.  Bar."

    Seeing that Zhao Xun arranged them according to the method mentioned at the beginning, Yang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I understand that everything will be handled according to the wishes of the lord. I and others have no other opinions."

    "Have Han Meng, Cao Gang and other Cao generals captured or killed them?"

    "Reporting to my lord, the Cao clan has been captured by our army, and each of its families has been sealed. However, Cao Gang and several generals of the Cao clan have not been captured yet, and are now being hunted throughout the city." Han Mengchen, who had just charged for a while,  said the voice.

    "Huh? This Cao Gang actually slipped away when our army was entering the city. Did he escape from the city? That shouldn't be the case. The fourth gate was blocked by us first, so he shouldn't have escaped." Zhang Yuanjing said slowly.

    "My Lord! My Lord, we found a secret passage in the General's Mansion!" Gao Han, the captain of the Guards Army, hurried in from outside the lobby and said.

    "Secret passage? It seems that Cao Gang also knew that the city could not be defended. Han Meng immediately sent people to search and capture Cao Gang. Since Cao Gang did not let the rest of the Cao clan leave from the secret passage  , This shows that this secret passage must not be completely completed yet," Zhao Xun said coldly.

    Sure enough, as Zhao Xun said, the secret passage to the General's Mansion was not completed. The straight line distance only extended from the General's Mansion to around the city wall. At the cost of dozens of casualties, Cao Gang and the rest  More than ten people were captured by Han Meng.

    "Zhao Xun, you captured Bingzhou, and I recognize it. Yang Li, your brother, you bastard, even if I die, I will still be waiting for you down there.  "As soon as he saw Zhao Xun and others, Cao Gang angrily cursed Yang Li for his betrayal.

    "Cao Gang, you colluded with foreign tribes and harmed the people! Everyone in the world will punish you. Yang is also ashamed of your company and regrets it. Besides, you threatened me to join the state army, but you secretly dug tunnels to escape.  "Where are the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city? Not to mention Yang, you are the soldiers of Bingzhou North Army. They all despise you," Yang Li said unhurriedly.

    "That's it, Cao Gang. What you have done has been despised by all the people. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Come, tomorrow we will escort all of them to the north and kill them in public. As a general, but he has nothing to do with foreigners.  Collaboration has harmed the people of this country, and a hundred deaths will never be enough to atone for it! Let your blood serve as a warning to some people that those who collude with outsiders will be severely punished!" The princes of one party were sentenced to death lightly by Zhao Xun.  Yang Li, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be slightly shocked.  At the same time, he also felt that Zhao Xun suddenly had a coercive force

    "If we hold on for a few more days, I'm afraid Cao Gang will allow many young disciples of the Cao clan to escape. It seems that God will not allow such villains to escape Lord, how should the Cao clan deal with it? In Dingping County,  There are no more than five hundred members of the Cao family," Zhang Yuanjing said slowly.

    Zhao Xun said quietly: "What do you think?"

    Zhang Yuanjing said softly: "Betrayal of the imperial court and collusion with outsiders should be punished by the nine clans! In the eyes of my subordinates, all of them will be executed!"

    Zhao Xun knew that Zhang Yuanjing was trying to warn those who surrendered generals and those who colluded with foreigners, but he did not want to kill too much after this war.  Then he shook his head and said: "So, the killing is too much. Let's do this. Anyone who serves in the army and causes serious harm to the people will be killed without mercy! As for his family wealth, he should atone for his sins."

    Although he did not kill, Zhao Xun did not forget the property that the Cao family obtained from the people and transactions with the Turks.  Of course, these members of the Cao clan will also live under the supervision of the Shadow Division and the Eagle Eye Division.
