Chapter 1445: Capture of Bright Moon City (13)
The guard thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true, since that's the case, I'll guard these materials for the new family master." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Hearing this, the face of the chief treasurer immediately became hideous: "What? How daring! When will it be your turn to be involved in these things? I'm the treasurer! The credit for guarding these supplies is mine! ”
The Bright Moon City Lord didn't know that at this moment, his retainers were fighting for merit to show their merits to the new family lord.
He was on the castle tower sipping a glass of wine while watching the battle beneath the castle. The whole person has been sprinkled with a layer of oil by him, and his wife and concubine have also been killed by his own hands, and now they are waiting for the destruction to come.
Maude originally wanted to stay outside the city and wait for the war to end, but he was not the commander, and if he did not take the risk himself, he was afraid that the lord would think that he was timid, so he dared to enter the city.
However, after entering the city, Maud did not pounce on the mansion like a fishy cat, but let the elite hundred-man team controlled by his subordinates guard him.
Maude won't risk getting that little money, and now his own life is very precious, because the next city lord is himself, and if he makes people plot because of robbing that little money, it will be very worthless.
However, Maude, who looked proud and pointed out the country, was immediately dumbfounded after those men who were ambushing the city and seized the gate came to report: "What? You didn't take the gates? Was it Nangong Dundun who took it? ”
Maude's subordinates said helplessly: "No way, boss, the city gate has a secret lock, we didn't prepare in advance, we couldn't open the city gate at all, the credit for opening the city had to be given to Nangong Dun, but he promised to take the credit for breaking the city." ”
"Damn! Why didn't you find out about that! Alas, in this way, Nangong Dun's credit is on par with mine. "Maud still has self-knowledge, and understands that he has lost the great credit for breaking the city, and what he has done before is not enough to make him ascend to the position of city lord.
This subordinate who just learned that his brothers had become the boss's ministers, and also understood that the key to whether the boss could successfully become the city lord was to make more meritorious contributions than Nangong Dun, and now the only thing that can surpass Nangong Dun's achievements in breaking the city is to seize the brains of the city lord of Mingyue City.
He couldn't help but immediately remind: "Lord, I saw Nangong Dun go to attack the inner city!" However, he is only a few dozen people, and hundreds of us will definitely be able to catch the Bright Moon City Lord first! ”
Of course, Maud understood the point, and didn't care if he would be shot by a stray arrow, so with a wave of his hand, he rushed into the chaotic streets with these sturdy rogues.
Maude, dodging and bypassing dozens of fierce battle zones, finally led people to the inner city that stood tall.
Here, Maude found that there were not a few people who had the same idea as him, and there were at least three or four thousand people besieged under the inner city. But the strange thing is that everyone did not attack the city, and the guards on the city did not fight back, and everyone was looking up stupid.
Maude looked up and found that the top floor of the inner city castle tower had been wrapped in raging flames, and no one knew that the city lord of Mingyue had set himself on fire, so he couldn't help but pat his thigh: "Damn!" It's a step too late! ”
I don't know if it was Maude's shouts that woke everyone up or what, the Mingyue officer in the inner city tower suddenly shouted: "Surrender!" ”
However, his shouts did not attract cheers from the besieging troops, but caused the besieging troops to disperse in a hurry under the leadership of the leaders. The strange thing is that seeing this situation, the Mingyue officer, who shouted for surrender, not only did not take the opportunity to attack, but began to order his subordinates to open the inner city gate and start fighting the fire.
There is no need to wonder how such a strange situation can occur, because according to the custom of the Southeast Peninsula, if the enemy leader resists, then it is a great achievement to attack the inner city and capture the enemy leader.
However, if the head of the enemy surrenders or sets himself on fire, only the troops directly under the head of the faction can take over the inner city, which is to prevent the important goods and materials of the inner city from being vassalized. You must know that these are the essence of the territory, and it is a great loss to take one of them away, who knows if the vassal will hide one or two things to develop his family?
So when the rogues saw that the mastermind had self-immolated, they knew that the great feats were gone, so what was the use of staying here? It's better to loot other mansions.
Maude didn't know whether the city lord of Mingyue had set himself on fire or was killed, anyway, it was none of his business, although the gate of the inner city was open, he didn't dare to take a step, he had to avoid suspicion. It's just that Maude was a little irritable, because he didn't see Nangong Dun's figure.
"I hope this fire wasn't set by Nangong Dun." Maud muttered helplessly as he led the people back and considered whether it was time to loot a few mansions to make up for the lives of his subordinates.
And at this moment, an army with much more morale and discipline than the rogue rushed into the city, and it was Zhou Wen who was at the head.
Maude was familiar with this direct subordinate army belonging to the lord. He was about to say hello, but found that the other party not only did not participate in the looting, but shouted: "It is strictly forbidden to rely on robbery!" Violators will be killed! "On the one hand, he stopped the rogue troops who were running around the city.
Maude was taken aback, and his subordinates also said in a panic at this time: "Lord, why did the hall give such an order?" In this case, I am afraid that those rogues will immediately commit rebellion! Go and persuade you, you must know that this is equivalent to cutting off people's money! ”
Maude nodded, subconsciously preparing to intercept Zhou Wen.
At this moment, several rogues who resisted with weapons because they were stopped from looting were simply cut off by Zhou Wen on the spot!
I saw Zhou Wen shouting coldly: "Listen! Since you have taken refuge in my family, then you must obey the orders of my family! Violators, regardless of military rank, will be killed! ”
Of course, the militia raised their weapons with amusement and shouted in cooperation, and this action immediately frightened the rogues who were about to move when they saw their own people being killed.
Although those rogue leaders had opinions, they still did not dare to act rashly in the face of the threat of the troops directly under the lord. Because he didn't dare to find Zhou Wen's theory, he had to find Maude's head: "Lord Maude, what do you think is going on?" The lord is doing this, how can we people eat together? Looting after breaking the city is a common practice, how can it be changed casually? ”
Maude agreed with this very much, and just when he was about to say something, a flash of inspiration flashed that he had the same credit as Nangong Dun, so he had to compete with his boss's recognition.
Thinking of this, Maude said with a serious face: "Colleagues, the lord is an outsider, and he doesn't know that there is such a custom on the Southeast Peninsula, don't talk first, listen to me." Although the lord does not know the customs, if you ask for it, the lord will definitely change the order.
"But if you think about it, what will it bring us to dismiss the lord's order? Do we make a fortune and make a bad impression on the lord, or do we not care about these momentary floating fortunes, but let the lord have a direct understanding of us?
"Don't forget, now everyone is just the lowest-ranking retainers, and I don't want to be sent away by the lord with fifty stones."
Hearing Maude's words, the leaders were stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed at their troops as if they were burning their butts, and shouted that the soldiers were forbidden to sack the city.
Although the soldiers were very dissatisfied with the leader's actions, the perennial accumulation of power and the threat of the troops directly under the lord still obediently obeyed the order.
Their discontent continued until Zhao Hu entered the city and issued a reward, if it wasn't for Zhao Hu's reward coming in time, I am afraid that the soldiers who had accumulated enough due to dissatisfaction would have rebelled.
The Qingmen army, who had originally obeyed the orders of the city lord and resisted to the death, were all depressed after seeing the smoke coming from the top floor of the Great Guard Pavilion.
Anyone knew that the Bright Moon City Lord had perished and morale had disappeared, but for the safety of themselves and their families, the soldiers still grabbed their weapons.
However, seeing that the invading troops began to stop looting under the suppression of their other forces, these Bright Moon Army couldn't help but stop their actions and watched from the sidelines.
Although the officers knew that the city lord had perished, because they knew that it was the young lord who invaded, they were not in the mood to resist, but considering the customs of the invading army, they only guarded their homes and important material points, and did not organize troops to launch a counteroffensive.
However, when they saw that the invading forces had stopped looting and started to set up a cordon, they immediately realized that their opportunity had come. Everyone wanted to make an impression in front of the new owner, and they jumped out to greet the soldiers to welcome the new owner.
At this time, the soldiers, who knew what the identity of the invading army was, immediately put down their weapons with a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be the young master's troops, no wonder the looting operation would stop, after all, this city is also the young master's own. The city is ruined, and the loss is not the young master himself?
Maude, who was in a relationship with Juan, immediately found that the resistance of the city had disappeared, not only the surrendered native soldiers were very cooperative, but even the wealthy magnates did not resist much. It's just that these wealthy magnates maintain a strange arrogance, looking at their expressions and tones, as if they have left themselves as big shots.
Juan was unaware of this, but Maude, a native of the country, knew that something was wrong, for no wealthy magnate had ever dared to remain proud in front of the victors. The cautious Maude immediately sent someone to find out the information, as for Sun Jie, the intelligence officer? He had already been dragged into the mansion by Zhou Wen to wrap his face and help choose beautiful women.
The vicious and beautiful Zhou Wen plus a large number of soldiers, and knew that it was to choose a maid for the new master, no wealthy magnate refused Zhou Wen at all, and even secretly stuffed gifts, hoping to pick his daughter.
Of course, the wealthy magnates cooperated so much, and it was also because Zhou Wen did not report the name of the new master.
