The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 96: Close and break
"Kill, fame and fortune are right in front of you, take down that person's first rank, and it is no problem to seal his wife and shade!" A group of soldiers followed their leader's instigation and attacked the city wall. past.
I have never been a low-level soldier, and I will never be able to experience the desire to climb up. Since they were civilians, they have been continuously exploited by landlords and officials.
And at any time, it is possible that those who are officials or those noble young masters will use them as the object of venting their anger when they are upset, and the safety of life can not be obtained.
As for the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, they are used to restrain the farmers at the bottom. With a reasonable excuse, let them obediently listen to the government, pay taxes to the government, squeeze every bit of value on them, and make them take it for granted.
and used to protect the nobles and the government after bullying the civilians, they can get an effective protection, and it is also named righteously, so that the civilians who resist will fall into a moral disadvantage.
After joining the army, he became an ordinary soldier in the Han Dynasty. I practiced every day on weekdays. Although I have food every day, I can barely fill my stomach, and I have an eight-point fullness, unlike the state where I could barely starve to death before I became a soldier.
However, in the past few years, there has been a lot of turmoil, fighting every year, and there are natural and man-made disasters everywhere. In the past few years as a soldier, there has been a shortage, and he has to continue to sell his life.
The fellow robes who joined the army back then, there were originally forty or fifty people in the same township, but now they don’t know if there are three or four of them, and they all look at the surrounding Tongze all throwing their corpses into the wilderness and burying their bones.
These soldiers want to say that there is no sense of grief in the hearts of rabbits and foxes.
Now, they have received a message from their generals before the war. Those who go to the city first will reward one hundred gold, and the official will be promoted to one level. The other rewards were also honored immediately after the war, without delay.
This kind of promise is not normal or impossible to get. Anyway, since they became soldiers, they have never seen this kind of promise.
According to their gossip, it is said that the army outside Guanwai Yuguo, privately resembling their current chief general, Guo Cheng, an official of Anguo, made a promise to help them break the city, and after the incident was completed, the army of Yuguo would be closed to the territory of a county. , As his feudal state.
At the beginning, many people didn’t believe it. As far as our Great Han Dynasty was concerned, the white horse alliance was made openly by the non-Liu’s kings and the world. How could outsiders make their own territory? For the actions of the subordinates!
But many cases later explained to them that the reason why so many counties surrendered outside of them was because they were tempted by the seizure of the country.
And after that, the imperial emperor did not break his promise, so he fulfilled it on the spot. Therefore, the soldiers in the checkpoint all believed in the oath made by their captain, thinking that their captain would not make jokes about the state he had almost obtained.
What should I do if the soldiers in the level that will provoke a mutiny? At that time, not only will he have a life worry, but even the seal of the kingdom will be blown away!
After this mobilization and temptation, all the soldiers rushed towards the wall with jealousy, and killed the enemy troops who thought they were living credits and money, status and wealth.
For a while, the Han soldiers, who were originally poor in combat power and morale, burst out in an instant, and rushed to the city wall less than five meters high, and climbed continuously along the ladder.
Even if someone fell down or was killed by the defenders above the city wall, the remaining people didn't care, but rushed up even more desperately and bravely.
For a time, the guards of the city wall were in danger, and the inadequate heatstroke prevention materials were exhausted at this moment, and the people on the city wall could only go into battle by themselves.
At this moment, the advantage of the city's defenders in terms of geographical location was infinitely lowered. Without the aid of a long-range attack, the walls that were not high, they were able to get on the walls in two or three blows by the well-prepared rebels, which can be said to be effortless.
Within an hour, more than 3,000 defenders on the entire city wall were killed without leaving a piece of armor. The two or three hundred people who only left his remnants retreated, defending in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
half an hour later, with the last two or three hundred, everyone died in battle. The city guard, Lu Zhi, another general who worked with more than a dozen loyal men, all committed suicide in the hall.
carefully sent troops to clean up the battlefield, so as not to make mistakes lurking in the mansion, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate them, and eliminate all dangers as much as possible.
Guo Cheng also came to the main hall of the city lord’s mansion, looked at Lu Zhi’s body, swiped down with a sword, and the body was divided into two points, and asked someone to take off his head, use it to wash and pickle it, wait. The next was given to General Han Kai, General Zhengdong outside, to receive a reward.
After finishing his main business, he asked people to clean up the city lord’s mansion, and waited for the army to enter the city. How could General Zhengdong have no residence? This city lord mansion is just right.
An hour later, all the battlefields were cleared, and the place where the army entered the city was also cleaned up. Guo Cheng also sent people to the Yuguo Camp outside the pass to inform General Zhengdong Han Kai that he could rectify the army and move into the pass to receive rest and reorganization at any time.
some more time passed. At this moment, the sky had brightened, and the sun had shone on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to the night full of darkness and killing, dispelling all the coldness and killing.
Outside the city, inside the imperial camp, the soldiers lined up neatly under the cries of their officers, and approached the wall of Xuanmenguan in waves, but in a moment Approaching below the city gate.
At this time, the gate of the city was wide open, and the guard of the city led by the school lieutenant Guo Cheng~IndoMTL.com~ The array was neatly lined up a hundred steps away from the gate of the city. The army coming slowly.
The three thousand army in the lead did not pay attention to them, but went directly into the city, taking over the defenses around the city gates, in case they suddenly defied here and harmed the head coach of the army.
looked at these vanguard generals with a stiff expression, ignored him at all, and went straight into the city, making it clear that he didn't believe in himself as the general of the descending army.
was a little angry in his heart, but he still suppressed it, and just said bitterly in his heart: What are you proud of? After these few days, I will be a monarch, and you are just a leader of the vanguard army. Then I will be a monarch and you will be a minister. See who is proud in front of whom.
Seeing that the city defense has been taken over by his soldiers, Han Kaicai slowly led his hundreds of guards, slowly approaching the descending army generals at the gate of the city.
first made some kind words to appease these unhappy generals, and then assured them that their previous promises were definitely counted, and they also took out the imperial decree that they had brought before, and read them before them. Seeing these people's expressions slowly eased, and finally, after seeing the imperial edict, their expressions became excited, and they didn't even speak clearly.
laughed and joked, and then slowly led them into the city, went to patrol the gate, and looked at the level that blocked him for a few days.
Then, I came to my residence and found that this group originally belonged to Lu Zhi’s city lord’s mansion. It was cleaned up at this moment, and even the **** smell of the previous night was sprayed with the fragrance of flowers, and I couldn't smell it at all.
couldn't help being very satisfied with this Guo Cheng, and repeatedly admiring him a few words, making this Guo Cheng flattered immediately, and even more diligent in flattering.
The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became extremely harmonious.
