Chapter 147: Plunder 3
Of course, the soldiers can rest, but the warriors can't rest, they who have learned the power of not sleeping all night is nothing, and they can also command the leaders to escort the relocation and transportation work with vigor, of course, their main role is to deter, who dares to resist and be directly hacked to death!
To deal with this kind of place, which is said to be a city, but it is only half a square kilometer in size, and it is said that it is a castle town and a port, which add up to less than one square kilometer, nearly 10,000 people, it will not take long to relocate these three places, and not even a grain of grain will be left.
With the endless flow of these people carrying supplies back to Zhaojialing, Lingwu City, Chengxia Town, and Harbor, which are very prosperous in the eyes of the world, are left with a shell. All the people and materials were transported to Zhao's family.
It's not that his subordinates didn't propose to simply burn it down, but Zhao Hu directly refused, if a fire burned this place to ashes, it was impossible for the Ling family to abandon this place directly, but keeping a shell could make them reluctant to throw it away, maybe after the Ling family's rectification, they could restore a small half of the prosperity before. When I call again, I won't leave like I am now, so the more prosperous this place is, the better.
The Zhao family was like a locust, sweeping away all the materials that could be taken away, except for those who deliberately let go, everyone, regardless of men, women, and children, were all packed and escorted to the Zhao family by the whole family.
Maybe the other lords are fighting just to grab the land, or to rob the treasures or money and food, only Zhao Hu will always think about the population, in Zhao Hu's mind, as long as there are people, then everything can be owned! Therefore, since you don't want the land of Lingwu City this time, you naturally have to sweep away the population and materials of Lingwu City, the town under the castle, and the port.
When the crowd of the Zhao family finally disappeared from sight under the escort of the Shenlong warriors, the few concubines of the Ling family and the retainers and family members who followed them who did not flee far naturally rushed back immediately.
Seeing the head-level pyramids stacked at the gate of the castle, and seeing the familiar faces being fiercely fixed there at the moment, everyone's hearts trembled, they were just guessing before, but after seeing these heads, they dared to be truly sure that all the important ministers of the Ling family were finished.
The head of the Ling family master is placed at the highest peak, the lower layer is Lord Tian Kuo and Lord Shoufu, the third layer is the various concubines of the Ling family master, the fourth layer is the various clerical adults, and the bottom is the powerful warriors, it can be said that with the Zhao family's attack this time, the main warriors of the Ling family were almost swept away.
All the concubines and retainers all knelt there and wept bitterly, but everyone knew that these people were actually very happy in their hearts, first of all, because the concubines were all hung up, the concubines finally had the opportunity to peek into the position of the Ling family master, and the important ministers were all killed, and the remaining samurai could also peep into these high positions that they did not dare to dream about before!
The concubines led their families to cry bitterly in front of this first-level pyramid, while their followers scattered all over Lingwu City, and when these people came back with disappointed faces, these concubines all roared with hideous faces: "Damn the Zhao family!" ”
As for these concubines cursing the Zhao family, whether it was because they killed their father and sister-in-law, or because the Zhao family scraped away all the valuable things in Ling Wucheng, so that they didn't get any benefits, then only these concubines knew it in their hearts.
After crying for a while, the other branches of Lingwu City who got the news rushed over, and these branch city lords who led the troops were all thrilled after seeing the first-level pyramid, and their original respectful and cautious attitudes immediately disappeared, and they became unruly one by one.
The concubines and their followers, of course, knew that it was because Ling Wucheng, that is, the old man of the Ling family with some seniority and ability, had their heads cut off, and it was strange that these city lords, who were originally far away from the center, were not arrogant after discovering that they had actually become very awesome.
The concubines who had always hidden the idea of snatching the position of the Ling family lord in their hearts, while desperately throwing empty checks to win over these city lords, sent their followers to hurriedly search for the soldiers who had fled, and even sent people to announce their ruling rights to other directly governed territories.
And the city lords, that is naturally to take it up, all the population within the direct jurisdiction of Ling Wu City has been captured by the Zhao family, not to mention the materials, not to mention not a grain of rice and a copper coin left, it can be said that the strongest strength of the Ling family now is his own branch city lords who have been sent out to garrison various dangerous places!
These people gathered together to fight for the power of the Ling family, but strangely, none of them proposed to take revenge on the Zhao family.
Actually, this is understandable, other city lords. They will not be willing to waste their precious troops on the Zhao family, after all, this force is the foundation of their career, where can they take it and be devoured by the Zhao family.
When they got the news of the Zhao family's attack on Lingwu City, on the way to support the troops led by these city lords, they cursed the bastard of the Zhao family. They all clamored to teach the white-eyed wolf Zhao Hu of Dafeng Village a fierce and cruel lesson.
You can come to Lingwu City. Seeing that this has become a dead city-like port, castle town, and Lingwu City! These city lords who were shouting all the way were directly dumbfounded, how many people had to be strong in combat power to capture Lingwu City in one night. Can Lingwu City, the town under the city, and the port be looted in one day?!
These city lords are not stupid, so they naturally immediately sent people to inquire about the information, and when they learned that the Zhao family actually had more than two thousand Shenlong soldiers who were far more powerful than the standing army, all the city lords shuddered, and the soldiers led by so many of them added up to two thousand! What a!
If it weren't for seeing the Zhao family directly loot Ling Wucheng and evacuate back to the territory. Knowing that the Zhao family will not expand its territory externally for a period of time, that is to say, although Ling Wucheng has no one and no money and no food, they will not be attacked by the Zhao family, so they will not stay in Ling Wucheng and chat with these lost dogs for so long, and they will already run back to their lair as soon as possible!
It's just that with the dispute, disagreements have emerged, first of all, the election of the head of the Ling family. None of the concubines let anyone, and the city lords collectively sat and watched, so that they could only have the power of their own followers, and the strength of several concubines was in a balanced state. In addition, they were originally concubines, and their names were not right. I didn't have a chance to hang out, and I didn't have any fame at all, so I had to be so deadlocked.
As soon as they saw that the stiffness was here, some of the environment was relatively bad, and there were persecuted delusional city lords, they directly led the troops back to their lair, so they were unwilling to stay here and wait for the new master to appear, so that their lair was served, this is a reversal of priority, so it is better to go home and guard the lair.
Anyway, he is also an old minister, and there are soldiers and people in the city, money and food, it can be said that he is the optimus pillar of the Ling family now, no matter who becomes the head of the Ling family, he must recruit himself well!
The city lord took the lead and left, and the rest of the city lords didn't stay long before they hurried away, but they were not afraid of foreign enemies, but they were afraid of those companions who were also city lords! In the past, under the banner of the Ling family, his position was very comfortable, and he only needed to lead the troops within the quota to fight when the main family sent troops. But now that Lingwu City has been ransacked, the head of the family and a number of important ministers are finished. Who knows if those neighbors around you will take the opportunity to swallow themselves!
Therefore, whether they wanted to annex their neighbors or prevent them from being annexed by their neighbors, these city lords all led their soldiers away, and they didn't even say a word about the scene of sending a few soldiers to the concubines as guards, and all of them withdrew without leaving a single person.
This move made the concubines, who were originally excited to woo people everywhere and were ready to compete for the position of the head of the family, suddenly softened, no one supported them, and the place was empty, there was not a grain of rice, and they were fighting for a fart.
Several concubines didn't discuss, and directly led their followers to other territories, although the location of this Lingwu City is good, but there is nothing but buildings, and there is not so much ability to let him recover again, so it is better to leave here and go to other territories that are in good condition. And now is not the time to fight for the Ling family master, but to think about how to occupy more territories under the direct jurisdiction.
When he occupies enough territory under the direct jurisdiction and doesn't need to fight for it, those city lords will naturally flock over, and he will naturally become the new head of the Ling family!
Zhao Hu, who got the news, was a little dumbfounded, damn, he still wanted them to prosper again after occupying Ling Wu City, but he didn't expect these concubines to be so decisive, seeing that re-prospering Ling Wu City was not something that could be done in a moment, he actually directly abandoned the main city of the Ling family and went directly to other places!
Zhao Hu was a little speechless, does this Ling Wucheng occupy it? Hey, it's better to take it. If you don't occupy it, it will be a trouble to keep it deserted, or it will be occupied by thieves, and the geographical location of Lingwu City is definitely the best in Donglai County, and there is a port there.
Originally, Zhao Hu wanted to avoid causing trouble by directly occupying Ling Wu City, and was going to throw Ling Wu City to those concubines, but he didn't expect that because he looted too much, it would cost others a lot to survive in Ling Wu City, so that the concubines collectively abandoned the main city of the Ling family.
If it is empty like this, Ling Wu City will be completely wasted, and it is not okay to waste it like this.
Therefore, Zhao Hu had no choice but to lead his troops to rush into Lingwu City again, and then mobilize men and horses to repair Lingwu City, tidy up the towns and ports under the city. As for the lack of residents, Zhao Hu did not move the original people back again, but instead selected candidates from the original Zhao family leaders as the new residents of Ling Wu City.
