Chapter 542: The Emperor is First and Foremost a Person
Flying Fox City obviously could not accommodate more than 100,000 troops, and the forbidden army quickly took over Flying Fox City, which had only three walls left, and the military tents extended outward to form a series of military camp walls in the south.
For the Great Song Dynasty, the walls of the military camp were much stronger than those of masonry.
Zhao Zhen wanted to personally check the extent of the damage caused by the artillery to the enemy, but Cao Wei, Di Qing and others stopped him alive and dead, and Xia Zhu was very dissatisfied: "Why can't Your Majesty check it?" ”
Cao Wei was recalled by Xia Zhu, and his face turned pale in an instant: "I'm afraid I have polluted His Majesty's eyes......"
Xia Zhu walked to the north of the city without believing in evil, he was also a person who had seen killing, how could he be as exaggerated as Cao Wei? Could it be that they have something to hide from His Majesty and themselves?
The most feared thing in the army is to deceive and conceal the lawlessness, even if the current forbidden army has been much better, but Xia Zhu still feels that he needs to perform the duties of supervising the army, in case something violates military discipline, it will not be good.
The main point of this army's attack on Flying Fox City is not to kill and surrender prisoners after the end of the war, and when fighting, he should naturally not show mercy to the enemy who begs to surrender, who knows if he will suddenly burst out and hurt people?
But once the battle is over, the prisoners must be left, this is the habit of the Central Plains Dynasty, killing prisoners is not just a matter of saying, the wisdom of the ancients is vividly reflected in this article, once the external declaration is not to kill the prisoners, and it is really done, the resistance encountered in the battle will be smaller.
What a clever plan, it is just a small strategy, but it takes advantage of the human instinct to survive, but whenever there is a way out, man always gives himself hope of survival.
But when Xia Zhu came back, his whole person changed, his eyes were red and hideous, his legs were trembling again, the muscles on his whole face were stiff, and when he saw Di Qing and Cao Wei, he rushed forward frantically, grabbed Di Qing's collar and said, "How dare you... How dare that? ”
Zhao Zhen watched inexplicably from the sidelines, even if the forbidden army didn't leave a living mouth, although it was ominous to kill prisoners, Zhao Zhen knew the metaphor. It's a big deal to keep prisoners from the next battle.
When Zhao Zhen wanted to go to the North Gate, this time not only Cao Wei Di Qing disagreed, but even Xia Zhu stepped forward to stop him: "Your Majesty, you can't go to the North Gate!" ”
"What's not to do? I also experienced sword soldiers back then, what kind of tragic situation have I never seen? Zhao Zhen looked at the person who knelt on the ground in front of him and said dissatisfiedly, after all, he wanted to personally see the damage caused by the artillery to people, and he became more and more determined to go to the north gate.
Seeing that everyone couldn't persuade Zhao Zhen, they could only follow carefully, and once the official family couldn't stand the tragic scene, they could quickly cover it.
On the way to the north gate, Zhao Zhen saw a group of frightened Liao soldiers being tied to a long rope and walking forward, at this time the Liao army did not have the arrogance of the past at all, and they all curled up their bodies together, even if they were captured, they showed a down-to-earth expression, as if this was the safest destination.
It seems that the power of the artillery gave them a considerable shock, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, but when he saw the situation at the north gate, his face was sallow, and his internal organs turned over the river and the sea, and the scene in front of him could not be described as tragic at all, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, incomplete minced meat was everywhere, and there were unnamed pieces of meat on the city wall, this scene was comparable to Shura Hell!
Holding back his feelings, Zhao Zhen said to Xia Zhu: "Send someone to dispose of these, although it is autumn now, the weather is a little cold, but it is inevitable that there will be the spread of diseases, it is best to disinfect with lime, let everyone stay away from this place as much as possible!" ”
Xia Zhu nodded again and again: "The ministers obey the order, and the officials have seen it, so it's better to leave this evil place." ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and turned his head abruptly: "Let the domestic reinforcements speed up, and start paving the road to Flying Fox City, the speed must be fast!" We don't have much time left. ”
Xia Zhu and the others nodded, they knew what the officials were worried about, according to the speed of Flying Fox City, the speed of the Great Song Dynasty's attack on other cities in the land of Yanyun would be quite fast, which meant that the speed of logistics must keep up with the previous official plan.
Everything is so unexpected and reasonable, Xia Zhu and the others looked at the official family who turned around and left silently, the reason for their silence was that no one knew what words to use to describe the official family, everything seemed to be formulated according to the original plan of the official family, and no one could escape this strange circle.
When one has everything arranged, even the details are planned, the whole thing can get very weird.
Yes, weird!
Many people have this feeling, they feel that everything is in the calculations of the officials, or in the calculations, including the Northern Expedition.
Flying Fox City was successfully conquered, and it is reasonable to go down in one drum, the power of the artillery is very great, and the power of a cannon is also reasonable, and it is reasonable for the official family to have seen the destructive power of artillery in actual combat, and in the face of the hellish scene of Shura, although his face is not good, but he can bear it, Xia Zhu can see that the official family is not with amazing perseverance but for other reasons.
Zhao Zhen, who returned to the imperial tent, recalled the picture just now, his face turned pale, and he turned over the river and the sea in front of the toilet, vomiting so dark that the sun and the moon were dark, he had seen the destructive power of human civilization, but he still felt disgusting in the face of the tragic picture of Beicheng.
No matter what he has experienced, first of all, he is human, and if he is human, he will be resistant to the picture just now, disgusting...... Unless he's a pervert.
When Xia Zhu and the others heard the sound of vomiting and coughing coming from inside outside the imperial tent, they breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, the official family is normal, they still have a heart of pity, and they are still the official family they are familiar with.
Why did Xia Zhu get angry with Di Qing and the others? It was because this kind of scene was so tragic that appearing in the imperial expedition of the Great Song Emperor would inevitably have an impact on Zhao Zhen's reputation, and at the same time, after seeing Zhao Zhen's expression, he began to worry that the war would change the mentality of the official family.
Peng Qi looked at the group of people gathered around the imperial tent and coughed lightly, "What are you doing?" Could it be that he is watching the official family?! ”
Xia Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Have you been to the north gate to see it?" I'm worried about the official family, Sancai is not here, you have to serve well, hurry up and prepare warm water tea for the official family. ”
Peng Qi's face turned pale and rushed in, Xia Zhu's words reminded him of the picture just now, as far as his Peng Qi's guts were frightened and numb, not to mention the official family, listening to the vomiting inside the river and the sea, he hurriedly ran to Zhao Zhen's side with a cup of tea on the ground and said: "The official family takes a sip, don't be like that for a while." ”
Peng Qi didn't say anything, but it was okay to say it, Zhao Zhen remembered the stickiness of the soles of his feet again, and couldn't help but vomit again......
