"Damn it, stop running, come here and let me chop you up!"
"Don't worry, I guarantee a fatal blow; I won't let you suffer!"
On the city walls of Dayuan, the Dayuan prisoners who had climbed up the walls chased after the enemy while shouting angrily.
The guards ran too fast, and the prisoners of Dayuan, who had been marching for many days, simply couldn't catch up. Seeing their rewards slip away, they were naturally furious.
As more and more Dayuan prisoners climbed onto the city wall, a Xianbei officer came to Dong Zhuo's side and said in a deep voice, "Brother Dong, it seems that the ten thousand soldiers inside the city will not come out!"
Dong Zhuo nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the eldest prince of Dayuan Kingdom isn't plotting anything, but rather he's worried that the ten thousand soldiers and the prisoners might rebel, so he gathered this rabble."
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo's face was full of pride and joy.
He never imagined that conquering the capital of Dayuan would be so easy.
At this time, half of the 10,000 Dayuan prisoners in charge of the siege had climbed onto the city wall, and the guards from the noble households had all fled down.
Dong Zhuo then shouted, "Pass down the order to have the remaining three thousand brothers divide their forces and block the other three city gates. Anyone who tries to escape the city will be killed without mercy!"
The remaining ten thousand prisoners also stormed into the city and ransacked the residences of all the nobles and officials!
"yes!"
Subsequently, the remaining soldiers all began their respective actions in accordance with Dong Zhuo's orders.
Soon, the south gate was opened, and the soldiers outside the city rushed in, heading towards the city.
Inside the palace of the King of Dayuan.
Upon learning that the southern city had fallen, Kerley collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the long sword in his hand.
"Second brother, oh second brother, I've not lost to you, but you can't possibly win either!"
After muttering something softly, Kerley held the scimitar to his neck, then slashed hard, collapsing to the ground.
Before long, Dong Zhuo led a group of Xianbei soldiers into the palace.
Seeing that Kele had already committed suicide, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers beside him, "Go, hang this patricide and usurper at the palace gate!"
Two soldiers then stepped forward and dragged Kerlade's body away.
Then Dong Zhuo ordered the Xianbei officers: "Immediately take men to search the palace. All men, regardless of age, shall be executed."
Also tell the brothers, "None of the King of Dayuan's concubines are to be touched!"
"Hehe, Brother Dong, don't worry, I'll definitely pick out a few of the prettiest ones for you first!"
Upon hearing Dong Zhuo's order, the Xianbei officer chuckled and gave Dong Zhuo a strange look.
Dong Zhuo glared at him and said, "Bullshit! I have no interest in other people's concubines!"
The Xianbei officer was taken aback: "Then what are you doing...?"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "Mengde likes these, those are all reserved for Mengde!"
"General Cao?"
The Xianbei officer was taken aback: "General Cao is so young and promising, what kind of person can't he have? Why would he like this kind?"
Dong Zhuo glanced at him and said, "You don't know anything! Stop babbling and get on with it!"
"OK!"
The Xianbei officer agreed and then led his men quickly outside.
Subsequently, cries of agony and screams echoed from various palaces within the royal palace.
After a search, it was found that all the men of the Dayuan royal family, except for Kemora who was with Cao Cao, had been slaughtered.
The king of Dayuan and all the concubines left behind by Kele were also arranged together to await Cao Cao's disposal.
Meanwhile, chaos also descended upon the capital city of Dayuan.
The prisoners who stormed into the capital did not have the same military discipline as the Xianbei soldiers. Not only the nobles and officials in the city, but also the wealthy households and merchants in the city were plundered by the prisoners.
These captives from Dayuan showed no mercy to their own people, committing rape, plunder, and all sorts of atrocities.
In an instant, the entire royal city was filled with wails and cries.
Dong Zhuo did not stop the actions taken against these Dayuan captives.
As long as the prisoners didn't harm ordinary people, he didn't bother with them.
As the sun set, the capital of Dayuan finally fell silent. All the nobles and officials in the city had perished at the hands of the captives.
The 10,000 soldiers who remained in the city also chose to surrender.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Cao Cao's troops finally arrived at a distance of ten miles east of the city.
"Report! General Cao, the capital of Dayuan was captured yesterday by General Dong's army."
The eldest prince, Kerley, committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and all the nobles and officials in the city were executed for treason…
"This Dong Zhongying, how could he act so quickly?"
Upon learning that Dong Zhuo had captured the capital of Dayuan, Cao Cao was taken aback.
Of course, what Cao Cao cared about was not that Dong Zhuo had stolen his credit, but rather that he didn't quite understand Dong Zhuo's intentions in doing so.
It should be noted that Dong Zhuo's route was the furthest from the capital of Dayuan, so he must have been marching at full speed to arrive here yesterday.
The troops led by Dong Zhuo must have been extremely exhausted.
Attacking a city with a weary army is a cardinal sin in military strategy; anyone with even a basic understanding of military matters would not do such a thing.
Therefore, Cao Cao was also somewhat puzzled as to why Dong Zhuo was so desperate.
Li Ru stepped forward and said, "General Cao, although General Dong has gained some weight, he is still very meticulous and won't act recklessly."
Besides, he's getting old and can't fight for many more years..."
In the end, Li Ru couldn't help but shake his head and give a bitter smile.
"Haha~, since Zhongying has already captured the capital of Dayuan, it saves us the trouble of going through with it!"
After listening to Li Ru's words, Cao Cao immediately understood, and his displeasure dissipated.
Upon learning that Cao Cao had led his army to the city, Dong Zhuo led his men out of the city to greet him.
Seeing Cao Cao approaching, Dong Zhuo greeted him with a smile.
"Mengde, this capital city of Dayuan is practically useless. I conquered it with a single, casual strike. You won't blame me, will you?"
Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand: "Hey~, General Zhongying deserves the most credit for the destruction of Dayuan, how could I blame you?"
"Haha~, that's good, that's good!"
Seeing that Cao Cao had no other intentions, Dong Zhuo was finally relieved.
Then, Dong Zhuo leaned close to Cao Cao and whispered, "By the way, Mengde, I found several of the Dayuan King's concubines in the palace. They are all voluptuous and incomparably beautiful. I've saved them all for you!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "In that case, thank you very much, General Zhongying!"
