The troops outside the city had their own mission, which was to attack the earth wall from the back under the leadership of Qi Dayong.
At that time, Yang Chen was fighting a bloody battle with the Qin Army. Due to the turmoil in the rear, the morale of the defending troops was low, and they relied on Yang Chen's prestige to maintain the situation.
However, when Qi Dayong led his troops to attack the earth wall from the back and opened the city gate, the army that was still resisting collapsed.
The few hundred soldiers left on the city wall and Yang Chen were like turtles in a jar, and were quickly wiped out. Yang Chen's stubborn resistance was ended by the Qin Army who were in a killing frenzy. He was chopped into meat paste, and his head was smashed.
At this moment, the few main generals of the Black Tortoise Camp knew that the Yang Clan was finished. The earth wall that they couldn't break through had collapsed, and the seemingly invincible Hai Long Camp had been breached.
At this moment, it was a quarter past nine on the 20th of the first month of the second year of Longwu.
After listening to Qi Dayong's explanation, the generals and chieftains of the Black Tortoise Camp realized that Zheng Ying had used a trick to cross the sea. Not only did he trick Yang Yinglong into running around in circles, causing him to lose his seven hundred years of foundation, but he also fooled everyone else.
Liu Chi and the others were rather dissatisfied, and clamored to go to the palace to demand an explanation from Zheng Ying. Qi Dayong didn't stop them. Of course, he wasn't in a position to stop them either. Watching them go up angrily, he followed them.
The chieftains looked at each other, and An Jiangchen even looked at Song Seong-eun in surprise. Song Seong-eun didn't look good. He looked at An Jiangchen, lowered his head, and followed them.
An Jiangchen pondered for a while, and followed them with a gloomy expression.
Arriving at the palace that they had been to many times, An Jiangchen and Song Seong-eun both had a feeling that things had changed with the passage of time. Back then, they were guests, but now, their identities were more ambiguous. But no matter what, they were still victors, and they stood on the right side.
At this moment, Zheng Ying was sitting in the temporary office and talking to the captured Yang Yinglong. Together with Yang Yinglong were his two captured sons. The father and son were finally reunited, but they were all prisoners.
In this regard, Yang Yinglong hated Zheng Ying so much that his teeth were about to shatter. He glared at Zheng Ying, who had a relaxed expression on his face as he continued to deal with all sorts of things.
If looks could kill, Zheng Ying would have died more than eight hundred times.
When he finally had some free time, Zheng Ying finally had the mood to look at the father and son who were tied up like dumplings.
Although all of their women had committed suicide, these three important figures had been captured alive. This was the greatest victory. When he returned, he could really report to Xiao Ruxun.
"Yang Tian Wang, this seems to be the first time we've talked face to face, right? Previously, you were inside the city, and I was outside the city. We looked at each other from afar and didn't communicate. What a pity! "
Zheng Ying walked in front of Yang Yinglong and looked at him with a face full of ridicule.
"Xiao Ruxun's dog really knows how to bite!"
Yang Yinglong clenched his teeth and squeezed the words out of his mouth.
"You're right. We generals are the claws and teeth of His Majesty. Whoever His Majesty needs us to bite, we will bite. This time, it can be considered a success!"
Zheng Ying's face was full of smiles.
"Success? Twenty-four generations of family business, 724 years of foundation, was destroyed in your hands. This is not a small success, right? This is a glorious success, right? "
Yang Yinglong smiled sinisterly.
"Family business? In the whole world, all the land belongs to the king, and all the people in the land belong to the king. His Majesty does not allow the existence of any family business that doesn't obey his orders. It's just to suppress the rebellion and take back the land of Daqin. What else do you rebels have to say? "
Zheng Ying's nonchalant 'traitor' directly infuriated Yang Yinglong.
"Rebels? Daqin? When my ancestors founded the family business, your Daqin hadn't even been born yet! No! My ancestors hadn't even been born yet! My family business has been conferred by successive emperors, and no one has dared to take it back! "
Zheng Ying shook his head decisively.
"Yang Yinglong, don't get it wrong. Today's world belongs to Daqin, and the current name of the country is Qin. His Majesty of Daqin has never conferred a title on you, whether you are Tang, Song, Yuan, or Ming. As long as Daqin doesn't admit it, it doesn't matter. You are a rebel. In the past, now, and in the future, you will always be a rebel."
Yang Yinglong wanted to scold again, but Zheng Ying stopped him with another sentence. "Winner takes all, and loser takes all."
"Winner takes all... Winner takes all... Yes, winner takes all. You win, I lose. You are the king, and I am the bandit. It's that simple."
Yang Yinglong seemed to be disheartened very soon.
"You are sensible. Not bad, not bad. If you had recognized the reality earlier, Daqin wouldn't have mobilized so many people to suppress you. To be honest, it's really a waste to mobilize half of the power of Jiangnan to suppress you."
"If I surrender and don't make trouble, Xiao Ruxun won't attack me?"
Yang Yinglong asked curiously.
"No, you still have to die, but not necessarily in the hands of the Daqin army. Don't feel sad. His Majesty has decided to deal with you since the start of the northern expedition in the 26th year of the Ming Dynasty. He has been preparing for more than a year and accumulating power. Now, it's just a small test. After you die, it won't stop here. There will be more things happening."
Yang Yinglong frowned and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"That's exactly what it means. If His Majesty wants someone to die, that person will die. Anyone who obstructs Great Qin's central government will be removed. No matter if it's you or anyone else, to His Majesty, you're all obstacles. The Chieftains are obstacles."
Zheng Ying didn't hide anything from a dying man.
Yang Yinglong frowned and looked at Zheng Ying in astonishment. After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha... Hahahahaha... I'm dying of laughter, I'm dying of laughter! Those bastards... Those bastards actually thought that you would give them benefits, so they followed you to attack me. In the end, they all have to die! Ahahahaha! Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! "
Yang Yinglong lay on the ground and laughed until he couldn't breathe. He coughed for a while before he calmed down. However, he still looked like he wanted to continue and continued to ask.
"So, you will attack them? Let me guess, take advantage of now and kill them all at once? "
"No."
Zheng Ying denied, "Such a low-level method is not the style of the Daqin."
"Then what?"
Yang Yinglong asked curiously, "Now that they are all gathered here, the army is exhausted and has no ability to resist. If we don't deal with them now, when will we deal with them?"
"Yang Yinglong, do you know why you were defeated so miserably and so quickly? From the 24th of December last year until now, on the 20th of January, you are finished in less than a month. Do you know why? "
Zheng Ying smiled.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be here now, would I?"
Yang Yinglong's face was very ugly.
"That's true. You don't need to know so much about the details. It's meaningless even if you know. But let me tell you, even if it's a protracted war as you imagine, the Daqin can fight with you for half a year. Half of Jiangnan can transport food and materials for the Daqin army, and the 160,000 troops of the Daqin can fight with you for half a year."
"So long? You don't lack food? No, you have only been established for more than a year. How can you have such a rich foundation? "
Yang Yinglong was very puzzled.
"So this is where you failed. You don't know that you are not fighting with a single army, but with half of the Daqin people in Jiangnan. You will never know what His Majesty has done for this war.
