Super Dictator

Monk Xiao originally walked into the tent quickly from three steps to two steps, but when he saw Wei Jichen sitting under the lamp with a calm expression, for no reason, the tension in his heart immediately disappeared, and his steps became much calmer.

"Sir, the brothers have taken control of the situation in the town. The defeated soldiers who were making trouble everywhere have been arrested. Brother Yunfei asked me to bring people back to report to you first." Monk Xiao said respectfully.

He now admires Wei Jichen very much. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he is also calm and has the air of a general. Compared with the former Ye Liuyun, he is in heaven and on earth.

"Oh, it's a bit unexpected for me to control the situation so quickly." Wei Jichen put down his hand and said with slight surprise.

Rubbing his eyes, Wei Jichen continued to ask: "Did those defeated soldiers escape from Xiuyan City?"

Monk Xiao nodded and replied: "Your Excellency, you are really good at predicting things. He escaped from Xiuyan City. According to the captured soldiers, Xiuyan City seems to have been breached by the Japanese."

Wei Jichen was shocked and immediately stood up and said: "It's such a big deal, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's go quickly with me."

The expression on Monk Xiao's face was very innocent, and he thought to himself: I was very anxious at first, but seeing your stable appearance, Sir, I became calm and calm.

Wei Jichen handed over the camp to Cheng Bushi's command, and hurried toward the town with his own troops.

Before entering the town, I heard a lot of crying inside.

When I entered the town, I saw that it was really in a mess. Several houses were on fire and were burning. Fortunately, there were soldiers from the Wei Zijun helping the people put out the fire.

Most of the people hid in their rooms when the commotion started. Now that they heard that the turmoil outside had subsided, they quietly opened their doors and looked outside.

It wasn't until he saw sergeants helping to put out the fire and maintain order, which was very different from the previous rout, that he cautiously opened the door ajar and walked out.

"It's General Wei!"

"General Wei is here, let's go take a look."

Some people knew Wei Jichen and saw him riding into the town. They started talking about it and the news spread. Countless people opened their doors and followed Wei Jichen quietly to see how he would handle it.

When Wei Jichen rode his horse to the center of the town, he saw Li Yunfei leading the soldiers of Wei Zijun, surrounding a group of about 200 defeated troops.

Outside Wei Zijun, there were densely packed people standing there, probably no less than a thousand people, and the people were still surrounding him from all directions at a terrifying speed.

Several girls stood aside crying, and some common people pointed at a few people among the defeated soldiers, with angry expressions on their faces. They knew what had happened at a glance.

"Damn it, if you dare to touch my soldiers, I will force you to walk away without food." Among the defeated troops, a general who was in charge of the uniforms was shouting loudly.

In front of him, Nie Cairong tied a defeated soldier with a riding crop and tried to pull him outside, while Li Yunfei seemed to be persuading her.

In short, the whole scene was chaotic.

"What happened!" Wei Jichen walked into the arena with a frown, got off his horse and asked.

Li Yunfei quickly walked to him and said softly: "Zijie, as soon as these defeated soldiers entered the town, they looted everywhere, and a few soldiers even tried to rape civilian girls. Fortunately, we arrived in time and rescued them. Rongcai My brother was so angry that he caught one of the culprits and wanted to pull him out and shoot him. "

"Oh, this guy Rongcai has a very strong sense of justice." Wei Jichen said jokingly, relieved when he heard that there was no murder case.

"Zijie, these defeated troops are all soldiers trained by Fengtian Shengzi under the command of Vice-Capital Fengsheng'a. One of the military commanders claims to be a distant relative of Fengsheng'a." Li Yunfei said with some worry.

The deputy commander was a second-rank official in the Eight Banners military system, and had the same rank as Wei Jichen's commander-in-chief. However, Wei Jichen was naturally not as capable as others. Fengsheng'a led the Eight Banners soldiers with Hong Miaozheng, who could directly report to the emperor.

Li Yunfei was afraid of causing trouble to Wei Jichen and affecting his career, so he dissuaded Nie Cairong from being impulsive.

After hearing Li Yunfei's words, Wei Jichen couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth. Feng Sheng'a's relatives were really powerful.

"Damn it, whose soldiers are you? You dare to surround us. Call your commander in chief." Seeing that Nie Cairong was being persuaded, the counselor in the defeated army became even more arrogant and ignored Jiao Tengteng as he walked over. Wei Jichen.

Wei Jichen walked up to the furious Nie Cairong, patted her shoulder gently, and whispered: "Leave this to me."

"Well, brother, you must not let these beasts go." Nie Cairong drew out his whip and stood beside Wei Jichen without saying anything.

"Who are you?" When the leader saw Wei Jichen appear, he shocked the whole audience and shouted loudly at him.

"Didn't you just say you were looking for me?" Wei Jichen put his hands behind his back, his voice was calm and there was no emotion or anger in it.

"You are the commander of this army. Why are you blocking our way? Why don't you quickly order the sergeant to let us go?" the counselor said sternly.

Wei Jichen did not leave, but turned around and asked Li Yunfei: "Yunfei, if you set your troops to prevent fire and looting, if you encounter the enemy and flee, how should the military law deal with it?"

Li Yunfei replied: "Sir, I should be killed according to military law."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you slave dog? I am the nephew of Feng Sheng'a, the deputy commander of Fengtian Shengzi Training Army. If I lose a hair on my body, you will be waiting to die." There was a trace of fear in the eyes of the counselor, but He still tried to scare Wei Jichen with his connections.

"Fellow fellows, I am Wei Jichen, the commander of Wei Zijun. This defeated army just now did a lot of bad things and is the scum of our army. I ask you all to come forward and provide evidence to accuse me. I, Wei, will definitely make the decision for you." Wei Jichen raised his fists around him and said righteously.

There was a commotion among the people around them. In the end, whether it was Wei Jichen's reputation that played a role or the harm they suffered was too great, someone finally stood up.

"General Wei, you have to make the decision for me. These beasts have robbed me of all the money I had saved for more than ten years." An old man who was old enough to be Wei Jichen's grandfather knelt on the ground and gave him a handful of money. There was snot in my nose, and I was gnashing my teeth as I pointed at the tears.

"Old man, get up quickly. This boy can't bear it. He must make the decision for the old man." Wei Jichen hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said.

What a beast, even an old man in his seventies or eighty would rob him.

Someone took the lead, and hundreds of people came out one after another to accuse the defeated soldiers inside of committing crimes.

The most serious among them is that some soldiers entered the house to extort money and went so crazy as to set fire to the house. There were also many soldiers who became lustful and tried to taint women. This was done bit by bit. In a small town, in just a short time, Within a short period of time, more than 1,000 families were affected.

No wonder there is a saying: Don’t be afraid of bandits, be afraid of defeat.

The more the people talked, the more excited and angry they became. They all asked Wei Jichen to make the decision for them and severely punish the sergeants who committed the crime.

The defeated soldiers, who were surrounded by Wei Zijun soldiers, could not help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the common people outside who were not willing to cut them to pieces.

Not long ago, they were a group of sheep crying in front of them, but now they turned into ferocious beasts.

Wei Jichen gently pressed his hand down, and the people stopped shouting for a moment. Only slight sobs and angry breathing were heard in the entire place.

"What else do you have to say?" Wei Jichen turned to the counselor, his eyebrows raised and his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.

During the day, these people were still talking, laughing and admiring themselves and others, but they did not expect that they would suffer such a disaster at night.

"I am the nephew of General Feng Sheng'a. If you dare to kill me, my uncle will never let you go." The counselor felt the murderous aura coming from Wei Jichen and couldn't help shouting in fear.

"Drag him out and kill me." Wei Jichen said to his own soldiers without even looking at him.

Wang Huaiqing took a few soldiers and walked in like wolves and tigers. A group of defeated soldiers were so frightened that they stepped aside and did not dare to make a sound.

Naturally, the officer leader did not just surrender, but drew his gun and tried to resist. Wang Huaiqing had been prepared for him to jump over the wall. Before he could raise his gun, Wang Huaiqing raised his hand and shot him.

After a loud gunshot, the counselor held his chest, and blood slowly seeped out from between his fingers.

"You will regret it. My uncle will...definitely avenge me." The counselor collapsed and pointed at Wei Jichen in disbelief before he died.

He didn't expect that Wei Jichen would actually dare to kill him.

Even the counselors and leaders were killed. The other defeated soldiers were all silent and trembling. No one dared to stand up and speak.

"I'll shoot them all, and deal with them one by one according to the military laws they violated." Wei Jichen ordered.

All the Wei Zijun sergeants shouted and came forward. The defeated soldiers raised their hands one by one and handed over their guns. The bloody facts proved that if they resisted, they might be the ones lying on the ground later. If they didn't resist, according to the If you are dealt with by military law, you may not necessarily be punished by death.

"General Wei, please pay homage to our fellow villagers in Mayang Town." Led by several village elders, thousands of people suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Jichen.

They were filled with gratitude in their hearts. If Wei Jichen hadn't sent troops to suppress it tonight, there might have been some trouble.

"Please get up, fellow villagers. This is all my responsibility, Wei Jichen. I also ask all the fellow villagers to go home quickly, pack their luggage, and leave here tomorrow morning. The Japanese have captured Xiuyan City, and perhaps their pursuers have already arrived. "Although there is no definite news of the Japanese coming, Wei Jichen does not dare to joke with the lives of ordinary people.

"The Japanese are coming. I didn't expect it to be safe here."

"Yes, mother, let's go home quickly, pack our things, and leave tomorrow morning."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there General Wei here? No matter how bold the Japanese are, they don't dare to offend General Wei."

"That's true, but for safety reasons, we still go to seek refuge with our relatives."

The people around him were not that scared when they heard Wei Jichen's words, but there was deep helplessness in his tone. Firstly, it was not the time of urgency, and secondly, most of them had escaped from other places, so they were running , running, I am used to running, and I am numb from running. If I run to Beijing one day, I believe they will not be too surprised.

When the people in the town saw that Wei Jichen had packed up his defeated troops, they all hurried back to pack their luggage. For a moment, the whole town was buzzing with lights, the lights of every house, the cries of children, and the shouts of adults. one slice.

Ever since Wei Jichen shot Feng Sheng'a's nephew, the group of defeated soldiers no longer showed their previous arrogance. They all behaved like obedient grandsons. They were afraid of upsetting Wei Jichen and shot them one by one.

Wei Jichen found two mournful assistant leaders among the defeated troops.

"General Wei, please spare your life. We have not done anything harmful to nature." The two assistant leaders kowtowed.

"Okay, I have something to ask you. Tell me exactly how Xiuyan City was lost and when it was lost." Wei Jichen said with a serious face.

According to the speculations of himself and others, there would be no problem in defending Xiuyan City for ten days and a half. However, the three days were not up, and the city was lost inexplicably.

What the hell is going on?

The two assistants were hesitant in the lead, until Wei Jichen raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to get angry, they poked them out like beans.

After Wei Jichen heard this, he became more and more depressed.

It's not that their speculation was wrong, but that the two generals in Xiuyan City, Nie Guilin and Fengsheng'a, were too greedy for life. When they saw the Japanese troops approaching the city, they only stayed on guard for a day. Seeing that the reinforcements had not arrived, they secretly led them away that night. The soldiers fled back.

These two people were not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also stupid and incompetent. Even when they escaped, they made a mess and had no plan. The Japanese soon learned the news.

This is playing into the hands of the Japanese. You are huddled in the city, and I really can't do anything to you for a while. If you escape from the city, wouldn't you be like an old man who hangs himself - you don't want to live too long.

The Japanese 5th Brigade forced Shang Min to set up an ambush outside the city that night. Taking advantage of the Chinese army to sneak out, he launched a massive sneak attack.

A retreat turned into a rout. In the middle of the night, the Chinese army suffered countless losses. There were countless casualties and prisoners, and the loss of guns and ammunition was immeasurable.

The soldiers who escaped did not care about the direction, as long as they were far away from the Japanese army, they were driven away by the 5th Brigade like ducks, and fled in all directions, out of formation.

The defeated troops who fled into Mayang Town were the small troops that were separated from most of Fengsheng'a. There is no telling about the others like them.

According to the two assistant leaders, they were relatively fast runners. Those who ran slower either surrendered to the Japanese or were overtaken and hacked to death by the Japanese cavalry.

In short, Xiuyan City is finished and has completely fallen into the hands of the Japanese.

"Did Fengsheng'a tell you where you should retreat?" Wei Jichen asked with a frown. Five thousand troops were destroyed in one fell swoop. Nie Guilin and Fengsheng'a were really impressive.

"Returning to General Wei, before the retreat, the deputy capital commander ordered to retreat to Ximu City. However, we were ambushed by the Japanese in the middle of the night. We ran away in chaos. We all lost our way." The two assistant leaders now know everything. Said.

"Are there any pursuers behind you?" Wei Jichen asked again. Although he had already sent flying cavalry to investigate, it would be better to ask the person involved.

"Reporting to the general, when I escaped, there was a Japanese troop following closely, but we all fled and then lost their traces." The two assistant leaders did not dare to hide anything, and they told the truth. .

Xiuyan City was lost three nights ago. In order to expand their victory, the Japanese tried their best to annihilate the Chinese army. They would not give up. Maybe the pursuers were already on the way.

Wei Jichen thought for a moment, then turned to Li Yunfei who was standing nearby and ordered: "Yunfei, go down quickly. First, inform Master Ma and explain the situation clearly to him. Second, ask Cheng Bushi to bring the entire army into the town. We need to set up a defensive line at the other end of the town to prevent the Japanese from pursuing us. "

"Yes, sir." Li Yunfei hurriedly came down with a serious look on his face.
