Chapter 140: Feeding War with War (10)

Outside the Chengji City Taishou Mansion, the Yongjun cavalry of the first brigade had already surrounded the City Lord's Mansion.

"Captain Li, how is the situation in the Taishou Mansion?" Wei Ying rode to the gate of the Taishou Mansion and asked.

"There are about four or five hundred Xirong soldiers in the Taishou Mansion, all of them are well-equipped guards around the Taishou of Qinzhou, and you can see that the wall of this courtyard is about a foot long, it is simply a small city, if we attack our army, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses." Li Wu said to Wei Ying.

"I've got an idea, but it's a bit of a bad idea." Wei Ying smiled weirdly.

"I'm not afraid of being greedy, as long as I can reduce the casualties of our army." Li Wu said excitedly.

"You're not afraid of being rancid, I can smell the smell of rancid on your body here." Wei Ying joked.

"At this time, you still have the heart to laugh; What an idea to say quickly. ”

"Actually, it's very simple, I remember that the lord told us about the way Xirong and Beidi used to attack my Daqi; If you come across a fortified city, you will often drive the surrounding people to attack it. ”

"You mean, let me capture the people in the city and let them attack the Taishou Mansion?" After Li Wu finished speaking, he shook his head and continued: "No, no, this is absolutely not good, if you let the lord know, you have to peel off the skin of the two of us." ”

"Brother Li, you won't be flexible!" Wei Ying said: "We don't need the 'Han people' to finish, there are a lot of Xirong people in this city, let them kill each other, it will be over." ”

"That's right! How could I not have thought of it! Li Wu patted his head and said, "Then who, hurry up and follow Brother Wei's method to arrest those Xirong untouchables for Lao Tzu." ”

After Li Wujun's order was issued, some Yongjun soldiers began to go door-to-door, directly smashing the door and breaking through, especially those wealthy families, which were the targets of the Yongjun soldiers.

"That's it, brothers, slam the door forward." The team is bringing a team of their own to the door of a large family and said.

"Bang, bang, bang......" A rough knock sounded: "Open the door, open the door......"

The housekeeper in the house looked out through the crack in the door, and found that it was a group of soldiers, and directly greeted the family: "Hurry, hurry, hurry...... A few of you are blocking the gate, and I'll go find the master. ”

"Hurry up and open the door, or we'll kill you when we get inside." The team was yelling loudly.

"It's not good, master, there's a group of soldiers outside, and they're going to break into our house!"

"Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and block the door?"

"Someone has been sent to block the gate."

"Hurry up and greet the young master, madam, and young lady, they all hide in the cellar."

"My lord, they don't open the door yet, I think it's just smashing!" The deputy team is suggesting.

"Smash!" The team was also annoyed, "Those who dare to resist after entering will be killed." ”

"No!"

Several Yongjun soldiers carried improvised battering rams made of logs and slammed directly into the gate, 'Bang, Bang......'" Boom! Within two attempts, the gate was slammed open, and the whole gate fell straight into the courtyard.

"Kill......"

A group of Yongjun soldiers immediately swarmed in, but anyone who dared to resist in any way was all killed, of course, not all of them, otherwise the task would not be completed, and all those who stopped resisting were all gathered up and squatted in the front yard;

The team was leaving a few people to guard the house, and a few more people were sent to take these prisoners to the Taishou Mansion, and the rest were led by the team to continue to the next target.

Such scenes are played out everywhere in the inner city of Chengji City, where all the rich and noble people live, of course, not all of them are from the Xirong tribe, but there are also some other tribes and Han people, but these people are not spared; The reason is very simple, even if they are foreigners who live in the inner city, they have a lot to do with the Xijon Khanate, and their wealth is basically obtained from the exploitation of the 'common people'.

Half an hour later, hundreds of people from each of the teams in charge of the attack came and went, and under the custody of the Yongjung, these people, together with the captured Xirong soldiers, approached the gate and courtyard wall of the Taishou Mansion empty-handed.

"My lord, it's not good; The group of enemy troops outside escorted many clansmen to attack Taishoufu. An officer walked into the lobby to report to Tai Shouyu.

"What did you say?" Taishou grabbed the officer's collar and said, "Bastard, how can they be like this, how dare they do this." ”

The tactic of 'driving the people to attack the city' was not used less by Taishou back then, but he was a user who naturally didn't think there was anything wrong, but now he has become a victim, and he is naturally angry and scolds the Yongjun outside the house, but even if the Taishou scolds loudly, it can't hurt the Yongjun outside the mansion in the slightest, this may be 'karma'!

"My lord, what are we going to do now?"

"Tell everyone that all those who are close to the Taishou Mansion will be killed!"

"No! Humble and then go to herald. ”

When the military order was issued to these Xirong troops, it immediately caused a commotion, because many Xirong people outside the province were their relatives and friends, and they naturally couldn't do anything if they were asked to aim their butcher knives at their relatives and friends.

"Son! Don't let the arrows go, let Daddy in. ”

"Big brother, open the door and let us in!"

"Dog leftovers, I'm four fools! I don't want to die, please let me in! ”

……

The people of Xirong outside the mansion saw that they knew the Xirong soldiers guarding the courtyard wall, and they prayed one after another.

"Listen to the people inside, immediately open the door of the house and surrender, this is the only way out for you." Li Wu shouted at the Taishou Mansion: "I have dozens of numbers, if you don't open the door and surrender, Lao Tzu will kill a batch." ”

"Bring the first people up."

"One, two, three...... Ten; Chop! ”

"Click, click......"

Dozens of heads rolled to the ground.

"Daddy!"

"Brother!"

"Mother!"

……

Seeing that the Yongjun outside the mansion really killed their relatives, the soldiers who were killed knelt down and wept bitterly.

"With the second batch of ......"

"One, two, three...... Seven, eight......"

"Don't kill my brother, I surrender, I surrender." A soldier on the wall of the courtyard threw it into his hands.

"Don't kill my son, I surrender too......"

"Don't kill my sister......"

……

"Squeak! Squeak......"

The door of the mansion was opened by the soldiers of Xirong, and they rushed out of the mansion, holding their relatives and weeping bitterly; Seeing such a scene, Li Wu and Wei Ying felt a little sour in their hearts; But if they were given the choice again, they would still do it, because if they couldn't reduce the casualties of their men today, maybe one day in the near future, such a scene would be repeated to them.

After the gate of the Taishou Mansion was opened, Li Wu led his soldiers to rush into the Taishou Mansion, and when Li Wu walked to the back hall of the Taishou Mansion, he found corpses all over the ground, there were several women, seven or eight children of different ages, and there was also a middle-aged man with a slightly gray beard and a Xirong bun, this person was the Taishou of Qinzhou, and the other women and children were his family.

In order not to humiliate his family, Taishou personally beheaded all his women and children; The war is cruel, as the losing side has no room for bargaining, even if these family members of Taishou live, the best outcome is to become prisoners of the Yongjun soldiers.
