350 The Dispute of the New Kings (1)
The battle of Chengbi ended when the Kyoto army collapsed, and the Samor army did not pursue these poor Kyoto people, but quickly sent a small force to control the main road at the entrance of the city, and stabilized the defense line on the city wall, Kyoto in the sea of fire attracted everyone's eyes, tens of thousands of people watched quietly like this, some opened their mouths wide, some had complicated faces, and saw a century-old king turned into ashes little by little in front of their eyes, which was a shock to anyone,
Kyoto is burning, the heart of the Kingdom of Vekia is dripping blood, whether he is an ordinary soldier or a Samour general, looking at the Kyoto people running and shouting like crazy in the distance, looking at the Kyoto people who are wearing their capes and pulling stones in the ruins despite the burning, looking at the Kyoto people who are stumbling on the streets covered in blood,
All the Samar warriors felt an unspeakable sadness, Kyoto Chrysdor, probably destined to one day end its glory in such a tragic way from the beginning of its founding with Vekia, and the road to royal power was destined to be bloody and brilliant together. ()
Some squadrons asked the corps headquarters to enter the city immediately, but they were all vetoed by the corps headquarters, and a strict order was issued that whoever entered Kyoto would be dismissed on the spot. This harsh and cruel order made Samor's squadron leaders completely confused what was going on, from the strange order to stop the attack before, to the current strict prohibition of entering Kyoto, watching the prosperous Kyoto turn into a dead ruin in the fire,
The wind with the smell of blood and burnt stench wafted in the air. Looking at the chaotic situation in Kyoto, the Samorians did not think that the Kyoto people still had time to clean up the bodies of their comrades who died in battle, so they could only pile up the corpses of the enemy into more than a dozen huge corpse piles, for this sudden Kyoto fire, the Samorian soldiers generally believed that this was the punishment that the arrogant Kyoto people deserved! "What do you say those adults at the army headquarters are thinking? Kyoto is at our feet, but we are not allowed to enter!" Squadron Leader Samol Leliger squatted in the corner of the battlement, carefully wiping the blood-stained spear with a cotton cloth to prevent the gun from rusting due to moisture, and asked the deputy captain next to him, Taychelles,
The siege battle just now caused Leligel's squadron to lose more than a hundred people, and when he thought of killing so many subordinates, but stopped at the most critical moment, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and even his tone carried a hint of reproach
"I don't know!" Teddy Rees, the vice-captain, shook his head. He patted the indignant Leliger on the shoulder with his hand, "Adults have adult considerations, we just need to do our own thing, instead of worrying about such ungraspable things." Let's think about how the bounty from this Battle of Kyoto will be spent."
"Bounty". Leliger's face was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, and the look on his face turned into anger and joy, "You didn't mention it, but I forgot, it is said that as long as it is a squadron participating in this Kyoto Campaign, whether it is a combat unit on the front line or a logistics squadron in the back, in addition to the bounty for killing the enemy, everyone can also get a basic bounty of 2 gold coins more!"
"Captain, what you said is true!" Several Samar soldiers who were resting nearby gathered around, and their voices were full of unconcealable joy, 2 gold coins! 2 gold coins will cost at least ten enemies, but now they just need to wait quietly to get it, how not to let these new recruits who only joined the army this spring be ecstatic, with this money, it is enough for them to marry their favorite daughter-in-law, buy a few acres of good land, and make their families decent people in the village.
"It's not promising!," Riley swept a few recruits with disdain, and said to the recruits, who had never seen the world, "I didn't read the conscription notice that as long as you can serve in Saemor for a year, you can get a service payment of five gold coins, so in Samor, the most profitable profession is a soldier in addition to being a merchant, whether you live or die, you earn it."
"That's right! I only know that there is such a good thing, we should have become soldiers a long time ago!" several recruits nodded with regret on their faces, most of them were from the southern suburbs of Kyoto, as a former Kyoto native, there was still a certain amount of resistance to the rise of Samol in the south.
If it weren't for last year's heavy snowstorm, they wouldn't necessarily come to be soldiers, as for the conscription notice issued by Samor, these preconceived Kyoto people, they don't think it will really be realized, in their concept, it is a very loss-making thing to be a soldier for the local lord, after all, in this world, there are many things that the lord deceives people, even if Samore doesn't honor it at that time, you can't do anything about him!,
Just when the soldiers were still talking, a loud and long trombone sound came from the corps headquarters, "It's the marching horn of the corps headquarters!" Squadron Leader Leliger stood up with a happy face, looked at the soldiers who were still stunned around him, kicked on a recruit who was still squatting on the ground to rest, and shouted, "Didn't you see each other! Assemble! Assemble! All assemble! We're going to enter the city!"
"Captain Fairper, you immediately lead the men to clear the city roads and welcome our army into the city!" called Leligel to an infantry captain who was running by,
The captain of the infantry from the south of the city rushed into the city road with a unique southern guess, and then rushed into the city road with a long group of spearmen, and saw that it was full of debris blocking the city gate, and there were a few torches lit on both sides of the city road wall, all of which were so dark and rotten, just like Kyoto burning behind him, there was no light and no future.
"I really don't know, what do these Kyoto people want to do?" Captain Ferppo picked at the heavy pile with his spear, and there was a crunch of stones clashing, and he waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Hurry up! Move all these things, clean up this place, and open the city gates!
The black and heavy Kyoto city gate made a grinding sound, and the tall city gate slowly opened under the push of more than a dozen Samore soldiers, and a bright light shone in from more and more gaps, quickly turning into a bright pillar of light from a thin line, and countless gray dots jumped in this pillar of light,
I saw the gate of Kyoto slowly open. Outside the city, the phalanx of infantry formed by the Samorian army let out an earth-shattering roar, "Victory, victory!" The sound reached the sky through the clouds, fluttering with the sun and wind
"My lord, great victory at the North Gate!" a Samar herald came galloping on horseback, shouting from his mouth, and several Samar guards stopped him, quickly took the battle report from his hand and handed it to the fat man
"Okay!, good job!" The fat man's eyes swept over, and the eyebrows that had been frowning finally loosened, this was the battle report sent by Croissat, who was in charge of commanding the interception, the northern army that tried to flee with a large number of treasures crashed into the ambush circle of 40,000 Samol elite troops at the north gate, and under the ambush of the absolute superiority of troops, the northern army of 28,000 people was almost powerless,
Except for the commander Stiantusa, who desperately escaped from the ambush circle under the cover of the personal guard cavalry, the remaining 20,000 infantry were all blocked in a hilly area outside the north gate, and Crollissat had already surrounded it like an iron bucket, if it were not for the fact that the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Crolesart would have led the army to rush in
"The Northern Army sent a representative to ask for surrender, and Lord Crollissat sent a small one to ask for instructions!" said the herald who delivered the battle report
"Surrender!" The fat man's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with cold light, and his mouth was categorical, "They are still qualified to ask for surrender! For these shameless slaughterers, the only thing we can give them is our Samor's sharp sword! Sue Sรน Crolysat, if there is no one left, I will use their heads to build a white bone tower outside the north gate!
The fat man's words made all the Samol guards feel a kind of blood boiling, and the dozen or so flag commanders behind him were also in high spirits, and the soldiers paid attention to blood for blood, and the fat man's tough attitude made everyone compare the weak royal family with the invincible god of war in front of them, who is the real master of Vekia
"Let's go into the city!" the fat man rode on his horse and waved his hand to the dozen or so Samor guards behind him, and in the sound of the horse's hooves, the smoke and dust quickly approached the city gate, and the fat man, under the escort of the two teams of guards cavalry, flew on the drawbridge of the moat like an arrow, and there was a rapid knocking sound
This is the fourth time that the fat man has entered Kyoto, at the gate of the city, the fat man habitually slowed down the speed of the horse, although the battlements are still piled up with corpses, although the gray city wall is stained red with blood, the fat man is still very interested, and his eyes are blazing again at the gate of this century-old Kyoto,
The advent of a new era is inevitably accompanied by blood and glory, and Kyoto Chrysdo was hit hard in this catastrophe that led the wolf into the house.
The palace of Vecchia was occupied for a hundred years, King Guitar III chose death with his king's power in the face of captivity and death, and the Stienne army took away the treasures of the royal family's collection, and even the magnificent throne of Guitar III was also poisoned, dozens of natural red diamonds on it were pried away by soldiers with swords, and the gold-inlaid handrails were broken and taken away, leaving only a broken black shelf.
Most of the members of the royal family were killed, the proud heads of the past were brutally cut off, and the steps of the palace were stained red with blood, the naughty Princess Jidu Wei'an, who escaped the catastrophe because she left the palace without permission that day, the conservatives in Kyoto were the focus of the massacre, from the family to the slaves, there was no one alive, after the Stian army killed people, they often set fire to it immediately, many precious and gorgeous mansions were turned into charred ruins in the fire, and several streets where Kyoto nobles gathered were like hell,
Later, according to Samar's statistics, from the Minister of Military Affairs to the tax collector at the city gate, a total of the people of Tokita were killed, and there was not even a decent secretary in the whole of Kyoto, and the most severe victims were civilians, and the northern army that plundered more than a dozen prosperous streets set fire to them
At least 80,000 citizens were killed or injured in the massacre, and in order to dispose of these corpses in time and avoid the emaciation epidemic, the fat man even used two infantry regiments to barely dispose of these many unclaimed corpses.
