Xiao Ruxun issued a strict order before the war, only to attack Yang Ni, not to burn, kill, and loot. If any innocent civilians are burned, killed, and plundered, the military law will be severely punished.

This is not just to restrain the Qin army, but he is still a little confident in the military discipline of the Qin army. The key is to restrain the southwestern Yi soldiers who depend on the Qin army to advance together.

The Yang family of Bozhou has the highest degree of sinicization among the Yitusi in the southwest, the most developed political, economic and cultural, and is very close to Bashu.

His ancestor Yang Duan was originally a Han native in Taiyuan of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yang family was also a Han family. After coming to Bozhou, facing the crisis in the late Tang Dynasty, Yang Duan decided that the family gave up Han customs and merged with the local barbarians to overcome the crisis and became a real chieftain. However, since the Song Dynasty, Han customs have gradually recovered.

Since the twelfth generation chieftain Yang Zhen, "the beautiful mountains and rivers of Mujiachuan twenty miles north of Lebao" and "the tiger carriage is determined by Zunyi", for more than 400 years, Bozhou has advocated Confucianism, established academic studies and cultivated scholars, and changed greatly, and it is like the cultural relics in the Middle Land, with signs of returning to the ancestors.

The other companies have a lot of differences in their cultural level and status with the Yang family. In Xiao Ruxun's view, they should not be destroyed by war. They can save a lot of money after the war and will not cause turmoil in the territory.

Yang Yinglong is indeed arrogant and domineering, but the civilians in Bozhou are definitely not enemies. If they start a massacre, how can they be mobilized in the future?

Now we need to accumulate trust, establish their sense of trust in the court's official army, and establish the image of the court, which will be of great use in the future.

As for the An family and the Song family, they were also strictly restricted.

It is absolutely impossible to burn, kill, plunder the people of Bozhou, especially to destroy the construction and city roads. Therefore, when the army approached, Bozhou City had no defense power. Yang Yinglong's symbolic guards directly opened the city gate and asked to surrender.

Zheng Ying asked the army to station and rest outside the city, led his own team into Bozhou City to occupy it, and sent troops to station and protect the important government offices, and issued a declaration of peace in the city, so that the people in the city who had no time to escape were settled.

An Jiangchen was frightened, but he was a little dissatisfied. Although he did not dare to show it, his troops were not entirely to please Xiao Ruxun. He also wanted some benefits. The so-called emperor was not alone in hungry soldiers. We gave you the way to fight and guide you. You should always let us get something, right?

What can we get after the spoils? Isn’t it still necessary to loot during war? This was how the Ming army and the chieftain army helped to fight.

But he said that he followed the Qin army's pace, how can he ask for special treatment now?

Zheng Ying clearly regarded this place as the land of the Qin Dynasty and did not allow them to do anything randomly.

Bozhou is rich, and Yang Yinglong's property is something he is thinking about. Not to mention good relationships and good personal relationships, at this level, they are all superficial brotherly relationships, but the conflict of interests has not reached the point when we have to tear the face.

Yang Yinglong is in trouble, how can he not get some benefits?

Unfortunately, Zheng Ying did not give him this opportunity, and he didn't even let them in Bozhou City. He directly occupied it, hung the national flag and military flag of the Qin Dynasty, and announced that Bozhou City had changed its ownership.

The ancient city that has been for hundreds of years has not been destroyed in the war and has not been razed to the ground.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the first lunar month, under the guidance of An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, Zheng Ying and others cooperated with the Hailongtun defense map found by the secret agents, and gained a full understanding of Hailongtun. After that, Zheng Ying's expression was not good.

How could it be a natural danger?

Hailongdun was built on Longyan Mountain, an independent mountain in the eastern branch of the Dalou Mountains. The lonely peaks penetrated into the clouds and were steep on all sides. The lower part of Longyan Mountain is a gentle slope with more soil, but the upper part is completely different from the cliffs. The mountain is a slope of 5 kilometers. The new palace where Yang Yinglong lives is built, which is different from the old palace in the Song Dynasty.

The new royal palace is a group with the central path as the central axis, which generally follows the pattern of front and back sleeping. The temples on both sides are lined up, as well as supporting facilities such as water prisons, vaults, silver warehouse gunpowder pools, embroidery buildings, schoolyard dams and quarries.

It was completely a configuration of a small court, which shows Yang Yinglong's ambition to fly freely and his weak control over local forces in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The surrounding mountains are located on the east side of the Tun, with copper pillars, iron pillars, flying tigers, flying dragons, Chaotian and Feifeng Passes. There are Wan'an, Xiguan and Houguan three gates in the west of the Tun, with nine gates in total; at the foot of the mountain, there are Xiang River and Baisha Water circulation, and the surrounding canyons are separated from the mountains. The canyon is deep and surrounded by mountains.

Zheng Ying and other generals boarded the already-breaking Haiyuntun and watched the terrifying fortress on Hailongtun on the trunk. They all looked solemn, and no one said the previous words. Even Zheng Ying himself felt a little tricky about the bold words he had said before.

Take this place in fifteen days?

It would be a good progress to be able to capture a level in the east and west of the town, that is, the front and back of the town.

Although these levels are not as large as the rest of the levels, the key is that the road is steep and narrow. The Qin army needs to attack these levels, which is equivalent to climbing a mountain, which means that the Qin army's siege killing weapon cannot be used.

Even if you can use it and try your best to transport it, you can only use one gate to attack the city, which is really too low.

If you transport more red cannons to the ground, it will probably exhaust the Qin army soldiers, cattle, sheep and horses. If you go up, don't think about it, or just throw it down from the mountain.

"The first six gates and the third gates behind the gates were all converted by Yang Yinglong. Not to mention the strong and thickening, there are towers and fortresses everywhere, and troops can be garrisoned everywhere, and firearms can be released. The roads are narrow, so our army cannot disperse, so it is easy to become his living target."

Zheng Ying's chief of staff Gu Tan looked serious and said everything he expected: "And the road on this mountain is not suitable for the Red Barbarian cannons. The Red Barbarian cannons are too heavy to be pulled up at all. When attacking the Tongzhu Pass and the Iron Barbarian Pass, they can still be used. If they break through to the mountain, especially on the thirty-six ladders, they cannot be used at all. They can only make the soldiers break through with flesh and blood, and there will be great casualties."

Zheng Ying looked bad, and the other generals looked bad. When they returned to the camp, they looked up at the towering mountain peaks, feeling helpless.

Although everyone successfully swept through all the military strongholds around, they easily broke through the military fortresses such as Yangjicheng and Horse City, and their morale was high and they were in a state of unmoving forward. At this time, if they suddenly could not use the Red Barbarian Cannon and the attack was blocked, their morale would inevitably be greatly hit.

It is easy to reduce morale and it is difficult to improve. Not to mention the attack deadline, Zheng Ying felt that Xiao Ruxun was here in person at this moment, and it is estimated that it would be difficult for him to break through the Hailongtun defense line within fifteen days.

However, there are overall attack methods, that is, divide troops to attack the front and back of the garrisons, with six passes in front and three passes in back, all of which are dangerous passes.

Of course, the difficulty of attack after the garrison is slightly smaller than before the garrison, but there are more defenders and stronger defense. There are many levels in front of the garrison, and the most steepest thirty-six-step ladder, which is extremely dangerous.
