Chapter 963: General Han who has committed a lot of crimes!
"His Royal Highness Chuan Ben ordered that the artillery battalion prepare to open fire, not to raze the entire Ghost Gate Pass to the ground, but also to flatten the Ghost Gate Gate!" Yingjiang took the opportunity to decisively give the order to open fire!
"Yes!"
The order was issued quickly, and when Yingjiang gave the order, the three blue-armored generals on the upper floor of the Ghost Gate Gate looked at the Qin army outside the gate with pale faces, and the three blue-armored generals were Luo He, Huang Gui, and Pu Jiang.
Luo He is forty-nine years old this year, he is the commander of the Ghost Gate Pass, the official worships the general of the Wupin Ghost Gate, he has been stationed at the Ghost Gate Pass for more than 20 years, and he has the absolute right to speak in the Ghost Gate Pass, and the emperor's will is not effective for his words.
Huang Gui and Pu Jiang are the same age, both are forty-five years old, and they are both deputy commanders of the Ghost Gate Pass, the former official worships the Qipin Liding General, and the latter officials worship the Qipin Suyuan General, the two have always been Luo He's subordinates, and they have been with Luo He for as long as Luo He has been stationed in the Ghost Gate Pass.
"The Qin army just arrived in Green Mountain yesterday, and it will attack today, this speed of dispatch is too fast!" Huang Gui said with a look of surprise and panic.
"Qin Jun is trying to force people to death, and it's just a matter of deliberately concealing the matter of killing Han, and he actually doesn't give us time to react!" Pu Jiangcheng, whose face was pale, said with fear, his tone was both angry and fearful.
When the Qin army arrived at Green Mountain yesterday, the three of them were frightened and hurriedly wrote a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to allocate reinforcements, after passing the letter, they put their minds at ease, thinking that the Qin army should not attack the city so quickly, and when the reinforcements arrived, send a new commander, then this is none of their business, even if they are defeated, they are not responsible.
But who would have thought that the Qin army would start a battle outside the pass early in the morning!
Although they have not tasted the power of artillery, they have been callousing when they listen to it these days, what thunder is thundering, what thunder is coming, and the thunder is blown up in a radius of 100 steps, one is more terrifying than the other, but some people really believe it, for example, the three of them believe it.
They believe that it is not that they are stupid, but if they don't believe this, it is difficult to understand that the border of the three major dynasties of Zhao, Qi, and Xia completely collapsed in just one day, and millions of armies were wiped out.
Now, they also have to face the 'legendary' Heavenly Thunder Machine, which is difficult not to be feared.
"Or... Shall we surrender? ”
Just when Huang Gui and Pu Jiang were terrified, Luo He's mouth was amazing!
"What? Surrender! Huang Gui was shocked!
"General, you are crazy, if we surrender, our wives and concubines and children in the imperial capital will also suffer!" Pu Jiang said with a very hurried expression.
Since the founding of the Korean Dynasty, there has been an unwritten rule that all close relatives of border generals must settle in the imperial capital, which is to prevent the border generals from rebelling, which means a bit of a hostage.
"Fuck it!"
"Do you think Lao Tzu is willing, think about it yourself, what we have done over the years, if it is revealed, will we still have a life? When the whole clan is killed at that time, it is better to surrender now and save your life! Luo He scolded and was emotional!
After hearing this, Huang Gui and Pu Jiang fell silent, looking weak.
It has been twenty-three years since he was stationed at the Ghost Gate, except for the first five years of trembling and acting in accordance with the will of the imperial court and fulfilling his duties, the next 18 years were completely wasted and evil.
The crimes accumulated in the past eighteen years were enough to kill the nine clans.
Eighteen years ago, they took their own soldiers to pretend to be bandits, entered the county and kidnapped more than 300 women, and after bringing them back to the camp, they served as military prostitutes.
This was the first crime they had committed, and after committing it, the people involved in it were terrified every day, for fear that the next day the Divine Decree would come, and the result was like a grain of rice that sank into the sea, and the water did not splash.
After tasting the sweetness, they began to eat empty salaries, and they died of illness and old age, and they were not reported, and the imperial court issued military salaries, and the military salaries of those soldiers who died of illness and old age were shared by the three of them, and occasionally they would be shared by their cronies.
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, they will still report a little loss of troops, but the difference between the number reported and the actual number is more than ten times.
Although the operation of their empty salaries made their mouths full of oil, it also greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Ghost Gate Pass, and the real garrison strength was only more than 8,000 people, half of whom were veterans over 50 years old, and those recruits who had been replenished were also 'assimilated' by them, and they did not even teach the recruits how to operate the organs of the Ghost Gate Pass.
After all, in the Korean Dynasty, being a soldier is a path that men really have no choice but to choose, even if they have half an acre of land, they will not be soldiers, or in other words, they will not be soldiers if they have a bite to eat.
Luo He and the three of them ate the empty salary and ate the sweetness, and began to resell the ordnance again, and the ordnance given by the imperial court to the Ghost Gate Pass every year was very rich, because the two main organs of the Ghost Gate Pass were the crossbow and arrow mechanism and the fire oil machine technique.
The imperial court has to provide three million machine arrows and three million cans of fire oil to the ghost gate every year, and the machine arrows are not worth much, but the fire oil is very valuable, and in addition to providing machine arrows and fire oil on time every year, the court will also give an additional 300,000 taels of silver as the maintenance cost of the organ.
For the sake of money, Luo He, Pu Jiang, and Huang Gui began to resell ordnance and the maintenance costs of the greedy ink organs, after more than ten years of development, the money hidden behind the three of them is a huge astronomical amount!
That is, they are lucky, no one has attacked the Ghost Gate Pass, but the Fanyue Dynasty sent troops once and found that the Ghost Gate Pass mechanism was invalid, and these crimes would be exposed to the sun, but their luck also came to an end.
The advent of the Qin army not only broke the tranquility of the Ghost Gate Pass for more than 200 years, but also broke the dream of the three of Luo He!
"But what about my relatives!" Pu Jiang already had the idea of surrendering, but he was still quite afraid of his family in the imperial capital.
"Loved ones? Hehe! Luo He sneered disdainfully, "Since you came to the Ghost Gate, how many times have you been back?" How many children have you seen in the family? I'm afraid I haven't seen any of them, and your group of wives and concubines, what kind of relationship do you have with them! ”
"Besides, if you surrender, will you survive? The Qin army attacked, we defended or not, defended, was killed by the Qin army's thunder, did not defend, escaped from the battle, lost the so-called first pass in the world, the whole family had to be taken to the market to be executed, you and I may be sentenced to death with a thousand knives! ”
