Chapter 484: Capture the City Gate
Liu Renyu took Zhang Tieniu and Wang Zuojiao's army to hurry up, and rushed to Zhaojiaji, fifty miles away from Puzhou City, where He Yaozong had been waiting for a long time.
"Yaozong, not far away, is the Puzhou City where the thieves of the Wang's own use are entrenched, although the thieves are also engaged in the war, but after all, they are a rabble, and the defense must not be very tight, you will take your men and horses to pretend to be thieves and sentinels, go straight into the city of Puzhou, take the opportunity to capture the east gate, Wang Zuo will lead the troops to follow up, and rush into the city.
I and General Zhang Tieniu and Zhang will wait outside the city, and if Wang himself leads people to escape, General Zhang and I will lead troops to pursue. You and General Wang are in the city to search and kill the leader of the thieves, seal the treasury, and appease the homeless, do you understand? When Liu Renyu saw He Yaozong, he began to assign tasks.
"Yes, big handsome, the little one has been noted."
He Yaozong received the order, so he took fifty elite subordinates and went straight to Puzhou City, Liu Renyu waited until He Yaozong went far, and then led his army to hang far behind.
said that He Yaozong had been a homeless under a little red hand before, and he was relatively senior among these homeless, so he also had a lot of experience in how to disguise as a homeless.
Getting rich overnight and suddenly grasping the power of life and death will infinitely magnify all the evil in the hearts of those thieves who were originally just small people, and they will ignore life and death, and treat life as a mustard.
He Yaozong has seen what a little red does, and all he needs to do is to learn from him.
When he approached Puzhou City with his men, he saw many homeless people gathered on both sides of the official road along the road, where law and order were gone, and this was the real animal world, where everything spoke according to the law of the jungle.
It's quiet here, because of hunger, and the homeless people here can not talk without talking, not standing if they can sit, not sitting if they can lie down, in short, they can do whatever they want. The only sound here is the explosion sound caused by the burning firewood, which is not used for heating, but for heating the cauldron.
The cauldron was set on both sides of the road, there was a fire under the pot, it was burning, the pot was filled with water, it was already boiling, the boiling water was tumbling in the pot, next to the cauldron, it was full of corpses, all human corpses, old and young, men and women, but there were very few young men among the corpses, thinking that young and middle-aged people are always at the top of the food chain, if there is no accident, they always eat people, and there is absolutely no reason for others to eat them.
The homeless young people sat around the cauldron, staring at the human flesh in the pot, and as soon as the meat in the pot was cooked, or they didn't know whether it was cooked or not, they all scooped it up, and they didn't care whether it was hot or not, they just sent it to their mouths.
When one person finishes eating, he puts another person into the pot, just like a hot pot with food.
He Yaozong had seen such a scene, the strong fishy smell that spread in the air brought by boiling human flesh in clear water, this tragic scene, he was accustomed to it, and he didn't care much about it, so that the cavalry under his command may not everyone have seen such a tragic scene.
Around these cavalry have all experienced cruel training, have been trained in a skill, and have killed countless enemies on the battlefield, there is a pair of steel and iron bones, iron heart, but now when I see these Ming people around me like walking corpses, very indifferently boiling human flesh, some soldiers still can't stand this kind of scene, and actually vomit.
The sound of vomiting was infinitely amplified in such a quiet place, and everyone was attracted by this sound, including the young and strong people who were eating people, and they turned their heads, their eyes blood-red, their cheeks puffy, and their eyes fierce like ghosts.
"Damn, aren't you acting like this and showing your feet?" He Yaozong scolded in a low voice, and all the people who were scolded were ashamed.
The real thieves are used to seeing such scenes, how can they behave like this, it should not be exposed.
He Yaozong was very nervous, and some of the homeless people moved.
All hands pressed on the hilts of their swords, ready to fight.
As if they were going crazy, those homeless people rushed to the place where the Jingbianbao cavalry had just vomited, and the swords of the Jingbianbao cavalry were almost unsheathed.
However, the homeless people don't seem to be able to see through them, the eyes of the homeless people only have the vomit that is still steaming, the food of the Jingbian Fort Army is very good, there are flatbread and meat, it has not been digested for a long time, and it is still chyme, which can be eaten.
The homeless people who rushed over were like dogs, prostrate on the ground, and licked up the dust mixed with the food.
When He Yaozong saw this scene, his hands relaxed, his heart relaxed, he glared at his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Go." ”
"Yes." There are not too many words, fortunately, there are no thieves and real thieves here, otherwise I am afraid of some trouble.
Everyone was speechless anymore, and only rushed to Puzhou City.
The defense of Puzhou City was indeed as Liu Renyu said and guessed, the city gate was open, and there was no fortification at all. Countless people went in and out of the gates, but there was not even a single man to guard the gates.
"Hmph, this is the thieves, a group of rabble, there are no open posts and secret posts, trenches to resist horses, and there are not even people guarding the city gates, and it will be effortless to exterminate them."
He Yaozong thought of these things in his heart, and his feet continued to increase his strength, and he rushed towards the west gate of Puzhou with his subordinates, and he led his subordinates to gallop all the way, as if they were marching in his own camp, unimpeded, without anyone questioning or blocking them.
They ran for a while, and then came to the east gate of Puzhou, here, He Yaozong ordered his men to dismount and quickly guard the city gate, since they had already guarded the city gate, they also had the confidence to guard until Liu Renyu's troops and horses came.
When He Yaozong led his troops to grasp the city gate, Liu Renyu had already led his soldiers and horses to a place only ten miles away from Puzhou City.
Those who live on both sides of the road see the officials and soldiers, but their reactions are different, those who are strong, because they have eaten human flesh, have original sin in their hearts, and are afraid of the government's investigation, plus they also have some strength, naturally they run away, how far can they run, and some of them are very afraid when they see the instinct of the officers and soldiers, and they also run away, only those who have been hungry for a long time, and it is better to die than to live The homeless people who think that they can't outrun the officers and soldiers on horseback left and right, so they simply sit in place, waiting for the officials and soldiers to give them a knife, anyway, it's better to die, To die is to be liberated.
It is impossible for the city of Puzhou to be full of homeless people, and there are thieves who saw that there was an enemy army wearing bright red armor and killed them, until this time, they woke up like a dream, and rushed around with a roar and shouted: "Woe to you, disaster to you, the official army is coming, quickly, close the city gate, go and report this matter to Prime Minister Zuo." ”
Liu Renyu rushed over from the east with his subordinates, it stands to reason that this thief naturally wants to give priority to closing the city gate in the east, at this time, a thief team dressed in white saw dozens of people standing at the east gate, and without thinking about it, he ran over and shouted at He Yaozong: "Hey, you didn't see the official army killed, why don't you close the city gate to Lao Tzu quickly, otherwise call the official army to rush in, don't use the knife of Prime Minister Zuo, Lao Tzu will chop you first." ”
When He Yaozong and his subordinates heard these words, they all sneered and did not react at all.
"Hey, you ....." Seeing that He Yaozong and the others did not react, the team was about to get angry again, but suddenly found that these people were very raw, and they looked extremely fierce.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and a terrible thought quickly took over his limbs.
"You are ....."
Before the team could speak, He Yaozong and his men moved.
The light flashed, the knife rose, went straight to the throat, the knife fell, the throat broke, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
The team opened their eyes wide, with great fear in their eyes, as if they understood something, and used their last strength to tremble and say: "So powerful, could it be the Jingbian Fort Army under King Liu Yan?" ”
"Hmph, you have a vision." He Yaozong sneered.
"It's over!"
Those were the last words of the team before closing their eyes.
The words of this team before he died reminded He Yaozong that he almost forgot that the prestige of his own marshal resounded throughout Shaanxi and caused a sensation on the nine sides, so he then shouted loudly: "Liu Zongzhen of Yansui Military Town, Shaanxi Province, came with 30,000 soldiers from Jingbian Fort to kill you, let's only kill the officers, and don't ask the rest, if there are ordinary thieves who will descend, each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and if there is a person who binds the thief to surrender, he will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed, and he will not be spared. ”
When the thieves who had planned to attack He Yaozong and the others with weapons heard that the person standing in front of them was actually the Jingbian Army, they were all frightened, and they were trembling, and they almost wanted to go first.
"Oh, mother, King Liu Yan has come over with the official army, let's run."
"Run."
Puzhou City was suddenly in chaos, and the screams of fear and despair cried out into the ears of He Yaozong and the others, shaking their eardrums to the core.
When the knights of the Jingbian Fort Army saw the embarrassed appearance of the thieves, they all looked at each other and smiled, and said proudly: "I didn't think that the prestige of our army would be like this!" When the thieves heard of the prestige of our army, they fled like a mouse seeing a cat. ”
"He Ye, when the thieves saw us, they were all scared like this, why don't we leave a few people to guard the city gate, and then grab a tongue, take us to Wang Ziyong, and kill Wang Ziyong directly, what do you say?"
A knight saw that the thieves had collapsed only by hearing the name of their own army, so he hurriedly proposed this idea to He Yaozong.
He Yaozong listened to the words of that subordinate, and threw his backhand on the other party, and scolded in his mouth: "The vertical son wants to harm me!" The marshal told me to wait to guard the city gate, and we must guard the city gate, otherwise I will leave my post without permission, and there will be death and no life in front of the marshal, don't you know the depth? ”
"The little ones damn it, the little ones are speechless." The knight knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he hastened to say a few words of forgiveness.
"That's it, just guard the city gates." He Yaozong waved his hand, just as if he had never heard of this sentence.
