Chapter 251: Filling the City
The battle, from the very beginning, has entered the white-hot phase!
Wan Yankang had just returned to the mansion, and before he had even taken two sips of hot tea, he was forced to return to the city.
Most of the unarmed herdsmen in the city used to be their comrades, and the young men at the head of the city seemed to find it difficult to pull the bowstring.
Wan Yankang looked at the situation under the city, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and then he said loudly: "Brothers, on the battlefield, only you live and die!" After saying that, he picked up the person who traveled around the moon in all directions, looking for the appearance of the enemy's general, and began to shoot.
Driven by the boss, the soldiers and young newcomers of White Horse City are no longer relenting.
The unarmed herders were forced to charge, and many began to turn around and run as their companions continued to fall.
And Temujin's army, with swords and guns, continues to drive!
There are sharp arrows in the front, and knives and guns in the back!
The innocent herdsmen threw their bags on the ground, fell to their knees, and wept helplessly.
Wan Yankang saw this situation at the head of the city, and the unbearable feeling in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he passed down an order: "The herdsmen in the city can be put at twenty paces, and those who dare to approach will be killed!" ”
This order quickly spread throughout the city, and the young men at the head of the city bowed down to the commander one after another, thanking Wan Yankang for his kindness.
The herdsmen under the city also gradually noticed the change of arrows coming from the city, and slowly flocked to the vicinity of the city.
From one to twenty steps, the rain of arrows in the city greeted mercilessly, so that these herdsmen who were sent to death understood that twenty steps was a line of life and death.
According to Temujin's orders, they only had to drop the dirt bag and complete the task. The herdsmen, who had squeezed twenty paces away, dropped their bags of dirt and ran backwards as if they were flying.
There is a successful example, the rest of the herdsmen, have followed suit, to the city more than 20 steps down, they left their dirt bags, and then scattered their legs and desperately retreated.
Temujin's overseer was the main commander of Ogedei, who could not harden his heart in the face of the herdsmen who claimed to have completed the task, so he had to let them withdraw and hide in the rear.
When Temujin learned of this, he personally rushed to the overseer's team, whipped Wokotai fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Hurry back, rush back!" ”
Ogedai tried to defend himself, but he didn't dare to say a word when he saw Temujin's eyes reddened, and immediately led his troops to drive the herdsmen forward again, ordering that the dirt bags must be thrown at the foot of the city wall before they could retreat.
Wan Yankang saw that the herdsmen were forced by swords and guns to make a comeback, and couldn't help shouting: "Temujin, has your conscience been eaten by dogs, there is a kind of you yourself leading the troops to the city to fight, why drive these innocent herdsmen to death!" ”
He said this in Mongolian, and he used the method of lion's roar. As soon as the words came out, the sound shook all over the world.
When the herdsmen heard this, they ran to the city with tears in their eyes, and scolded Temujin for coming.
The soldiers of the Qiyan tribe were also a little unbearable when they heard this, just because Temujin's prestige in the tribe was too high, and no one dared to disagree.
But in any case, after Temujin's military order was issued, these herdsmen were driven like cattle and sheep to reclaim the city.
If the dirt bag can't be thrown at the foot of the city wall, the corpse is used as a stepping stone!
In the rain of guns and arrows, a day passed in a hurry. Temujin's tactics of reclaiming the city with negative earth achieved good results. There are at least seven or eight places under the five-foot city wall of White Horse City, which have been filled seven or eight feet high.
According to this momentum, it only takes one more day, and the army of the Qiyan Department will be able to ride their horses to the city!
Wan Yankang's brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't think of a clever trick to crack it for a while. Judging from the corpses under the city, at least 40,000 or 50,000 herdsmen died on the ground.
Even if he couldn't bear it, he could only harden his heart and order the killing, and at least most of the herdsmen that Temujin had brought in this time were intact.
Faced with this intractable situation, Wan Yankang didn't think too much, but did something more important first.
Send money!
The young men who participated in the battle on the first day all replaced the city heads, and after a full meal, they lined up in the martial arts arena and waited for the arrival of the marshal.
After Yan Kang arrived on horseback, he took the list of military merits that the military judge had counted, and after a rough scan, he began to discuss the rewards for meritorious deeds.
"Chilu, kill twenty-one enemies, reward two hundred and ten taels of silver!" Wan Yankang shouted in Mongolian.
A man of medium stature trotted forward to Wan Yan Kang, and after receiving the reward, he burst into tears of excitement and knelt on his knees to kiss his boots.
Wan Yankang grabbed him: "My warrior, don't kneel!" ”
Chilu nodded again and again, bowed to Wan Yan Kang and saluted to ninety degrees.
Wan Yankang asked again: "I see that you are of average shape, and you can actually kill more than 20 enemies, but what are your stunts?" ”
Chilu hesitated for a moment before he said: "The villain's archery skills are okay, and if you are lucky today, you will shoot the enemy's face and throat." ”
Wan Yan Kang laughed and asked, "Are you willing to join the army, or quit this battle?" ”
Chilu looked at the silver in his hand, then at Yan Kang, and shouted loudly: "Big handsome, the villain is willing to join the army!" ”
Wan Yankang patted him on the shoulder: "Good man, with your merits, starting today, you can be a platoon leader!" ”
Chiru saluted again, then stepped back.
Wan Yankang then shouted: "Huruer, kill twenty enemies, reward two hundred silver!" ”
When Huruer heard this, he took the silver from Wan Yankang's hand, and bowed down to salute.
Wan Yankang asked him where he was going.
Huruer swept the silver in his hand, and said with some shame: "Dashuai, I don't want to fight anymore, I want to buy a shop in the city and do some small business!" ”
Wan Yankang thumped his chest: "Everyone has their own ambitions, go home first and accompany your wife and children!" ”
Then, Wan Yankang read the list of eighteen people, and asked the young men who could be ranked in the top 20 for their combat exploits to come forward one by one to receive the reward. Among these twenty people, there are those who are willing to join the army, and there are also those who do not want to participate in the war again, and so on.
Wan Yankang praised those who joined the army, and he gladly accepted their choice for those who retreated.
The remaining tens of thousands of young and strong, and more than 10,000 people have the credit of beheading. Wan Yankang couldn't reward them one by one, so he asked Huang Rong's three daughters and all the generals in the army to distribute the rewards and silver on their behalf, counting those who were willing to join the army and those who were unwilling to continue to participate in the war.
For this reward, there are 500,000 taels of silver ingots, piled up in the martial arts arena, like a small mountain bag. As the rewarded people were rewarded with silver, this small mountain bag gradually turned into a small pile, but on the martial arts field, it was still hot.
After the reward was completed, eighty percent of the young people who received the reward were willing to continue to serve in the army.
The big event was set, and Wan Yankang immediately ordered the disbandment, so that the young people could seize the time to rest.
After all, it was freezing cold, and the young men who had won the silver reward all went back to their residences. And some of those who failed to receive meritorious service were unwilling to leave, pulling the regular army on the side and asking if they would have a chance to go to the battlefield tomorrow.
Xu Daosheng sighed majestically: "The people of the north are fierce, and the military spirit is available!" ”
Wan Yankang had a solemn face, looking preoccupied, and he was noncommittal to Xu Daosheng's words.
After Huang Rong sent the silver reward, seeing that Ai Lang was depressed, he asked softly, "Brother Kang, what's wrong?" ”
After Yan Kang didn't reply immediately, he pondered for a while before saying, "Rong'er, you go and ask your father to come over." Then, he asked Tian Xiaowan to invite Zhou Botong here.
Huang Rong snorted, didn't ask any more, and went with Tian Xiaowan.
Li Mochou approached Wan Yankang's side, grabbed his hand, and said softly: "Brother Kang, you feel uncomfortable and want to get out of the city?" ”
Wan Yankang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his inner thoughts, Li Mochou actually read it easily. When he distributed the bounty, he seemed to be in high spirits, but in fact it was just a posturing. Because the Chilu and others who were rewarded today seem to have an impressive record, but in fact, most of the gains they have obtained are just shooting and killing the unarmed herdsmen in the city.
Are these herders enemies?
Can it be counted?
In the current situation, it must be counted!
If not, what is the motivation for these young men to continue to participate in the war!
If not, how can White Horse City survive this battle!
Since Yan Kang's debut, he has killed countless people, and he thought that he was used to life and death. But seeing these innocent herdsmen fall under the city, Wan Yankang's heart was extremely heavy.
Facing Li Mochou, Wan Yankang took a deep breath and held her hand tightly: "Mochou, Brother Kang is not uncomfortable, I have fire in my heart!" ”
"Fire?" When Li Mochou heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he was full of shame.
Wan Yankang didn't notice the change in Li Mochou's expression, and only said: "I'm going out of the city to kill a few people and extinguish the fire!" ”
When Li Mochou heard this, he knew that he would be wrong, and said: "Brother Kang, I will go out of the city with you!" ”
Wan Yankang hugged Li Mochou into his arms: "You go back to rest early, these fights and killings are enough for your man!" ”
After a while, Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong came together.
Zhou Botong rubbed his hands and sighed: "Good brother, what do you want me to do on such a cold day?" ”
Wan Yankang bowed to the two: "I want to go out of the city to kill people, and I also ask my father-in-law and Brother Berton to help!" ”
When Zhou Botong heard that he was going to go out of the city to kill people, he waved his hand again and again: "I won't do anything about killing!" ”
Although the old naughty boy's martial arts are high, but since his debut, his hands have hardly been contaminated with human life, and when he heard that he was going to kill someone, he was naturally extremely disgusted.
Wan Yankang had expected it, so he said: "Big brother, you can't kill people, can you set fire?" ”
As soon as Zhou Botong heard that he was going to set fire, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "Setting fire or something, I'm the best!" ”
Huang Yaoshi was on the side, silent, until Wan Yankang asked again, and then said, "Where are you going, where am I going!" ”
After Huang Yaoshi agreed, Wan Yankang immediately relieved himself and made plans one by one.
Assassination, arson, and robbery of the camp, these are the three things Wan Yankang has to do tonight.
One man went to Temujin's camp and assassinated Temujin and his generals, causing chaos.
One man went to the place where the army was storing grain and grass and set fire to the warehouse.
One man went to kill the camp that bound the herdsmen, and the herdsmen fled.
These three things must be done at the same time!
Those who act must be superb in martial arts!
