Oh, that’s right, that’s well said. Jiang Hai nodded and sighed.
He didn't know that Yang Hongjin had wanted to try this thing for a long time.
After watching Jiang Hai give a speech in Yuezhou City, Yang Hongjin was already eager to try it.
I even thought about what I would say if I were to go there.
Here, Yang Hongjin was beginning to tell the soldiers guarding the city the whole story, and that they should stop this meaningless war and not pursue any responsibility.
Cui Dongcheng on the city wall rolled his eyes.
He walked back a few steps and took the spear from a soldier.
He was calculating the distance and noticed that Jiang Hai and his group's hot air balloon was out of reach of bows and arrows.
However, with his martial arts skills, he could fly over and hit the target with his spear.
The distance is just right. Although it is not easy to hit someone, it is not difficult to burst the balloon.
A fierce look flashed in Cui Dongcheng's eyes, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He thought his movements were natural and shouldn't be discovered. As long as he could pop the balloon and the two people on it would fall to the ground, there might be a chance for this battle to turn around.
Thinking of this, he grasped the spear without hesitation, bent his body backward, and made a throwing motion.
You need to take two steps to run up and throw the spear like a javelin.
Just as he was about to move, there was a gunshot and a bullet flew directly and hit his head.
His whole body fell backwards, and he was deader than dead.
The scene is a little hard to describe, but the soldiers nearby were so scared that their faces turned pale.
King Xuan was not in a much better condition. Seeing Cui Dongcheng fall, he also squatted down reflexively to avoid danger.
It turned out that when Jiang Hai and Yang Hongjin were preparing to approach the city wall and take a hot air balloon to reason with the defenders.
The sniper team sent by Qin Bai followed closely, holding their guns and paying close attention to every move on the city wall.
Cui Dongcheng thought he was being cunning, but it turned out to be his own fault.
His every move was under the surveillance of this group of gunmen.
It's just that I've never seen a scope and haven't learned any martial arts to assist in aiming, so I can't understand what that team is doing.
A little episode just happened like that.
However, it did not cause any impact, and it even helped Jiang Hai and the others.
Seeing this, Jiang Hai signaled Yang Hongjin to make a fuss about this matter.
Yang Hongjin understood and said,
"See? There's no need to struggle in vain. It's useless.
Soldiers, times have changed.
Think about it carefully. It’s not too late to turn back now. My promise is absolutely valid.
Anyone who leaves the city and surrenders before sunset today will not be punished.
Those who refuse to repent will be killed without mercy."
Yang Hongjin spoke the last two sentences with great vigor and a bit of an imperial style.
Jiang Hai couldn't help but applaud him. If you want to be the emperor and work for the people of the world, it has to be someone from your Yang family, who has the right profession.
After the speech, Jiang Hai and Yang Hongjin returned to the ground. All they could do now was wait.
Let's see if this threat combined with Yang Hongjin's promise can be effective for the defenders of the capital.
Now that there are no city gates, the defending generals have no way to stop the soldiers from leaving the city.
The only thing they could do was to shoot the soldiers who came out of the city to surrender from the top of the city wall.
However, Yang Hongjin had already said in his previous words that he would ensure that the archers on the city wall would not have the opportunity to take action.
As soon as the bow is drawn, Cui Dongcheng is an example. In one word, death.
They had never seen such a strong persuasion to surrender.
However, this undoubtedly gave ordinary soldiers of the defending army great confidence, allowing them to surrender and avoid punishment.
As expected.
In the afternoon, defenders came out to surrender one after another.
First, they rushed out in groups of three or four, taking the opportunity to rush out on horseback.
Behind them, groups of infantrymen ran out.
King Xuan, who was on the city wall, wanted to order someone to shoot, but his helmet was blown off.
This was because Yang Hongjin asked his men to show mercy. Although King Xuan was also a member of Yang Hongye's gang, he never participated in the assassination attempt in the palace.
Yang Hongjin didn't want to kill him. No matter what, he still called him uncle.
Jiang Hai didn't care about this. He decided to let Yang Hongjin solve the Yang family's affairs himself.
Even if King Xuan was not killed, his future would not be much better. The best outcome might be constant house arrest.
As for whether he would be put in jail, that was for Yang Hongjin to decide.
Ever since the defending troops began to leave the city and surrender, Jiang Hai had been considering when to return to the new city in southern Xinjiang.
It took him a year to give Darong a blood transfusion. It was so precious.
The situation in the capital was resolved before sunset without any accidents.
After the ultimatum was issued at the South Gate, the East and West Gates were also notified to prepare to accept the surrendered troops.
At first, not many people surrendered, and those who surrendered later were not punished.
More and more people chose to surrender, especially after most of the defenders had left.
The remaining people were panicking, fearing they would be blown to pieces if they didn't leave and wait until sunset.
In the end, they almost rushed out.
After all the surrendered troops were taken over, there was still some time before sunset.
On top of the city gate, only King Xuan and his personal guards were left, staring blankly at this incredible scene.
With a dejected look on his face, he said calmly,
"You guys go down too. The situation is hopeless and there's nothing we can do to change it."
None of the personal guards moved. These people had been stationed with him at the northern border for many years, and they had deep feelings for him and were loyal.
King Xuan smiled bitterly. He had not expected that things would get to this point.
The reason why he wanted to assist Yang Hongye was because he couldn't stand the old emperor's inaction.
Thinking that Yang Hongye was ambitious and capable, he might be able to change Darong's current situation, and he could also return to the capital to spend his old age in peace.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hongjin showed up unexpectedly, bringing with him the cheating Jiang Hai.
At this time, King Xuan felt that he was definitely finished.
However, things were not as pessimistic as he thought.
After Yang Hongjin entered the city, he simply had them taken away and did not directly attack anyone.
Then he led his men towards the palace.
Jiang Hai knew that there was another line of defense in the imperial city.
This time, he brought all the members of the New City Legion with him, leaving no room for retreat.
Arriving outside the imperial city, he said to Yang Hongjin,
"You're okay with just blasting in, right?"
"Well, no problem," Yang Hongjin nodded, "These people are extremely evil."
Yang Hongjin also understood that the people guarding the imperial city must be Yang Hongye's trusted troops, and they must have been the main force that launched the capital-forced abdication a year ago.
Countless people have died at their hands, so there is no need to be lenient with them.
So, the Xincheng Legion did as usual, formed up their battle formation and directly launched a fire attack.
No worries this time.
Directly blast the walls of the imperial city into pieces.
Without even shouting a single word of trash talk, the entire army advanced forward.
Of the imperial guards in the city, except for those who were directly killed on the city walls, there were still some left inside.
When the New City Legion entered, they swarmed in, thinking of using ancient methods to fight a desperate battle with the New City Legion.
