Chapter 45: Slaughtering People Is More Slaughtering
A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen. This sentence is the best way to describe the Arthur family.
Hutu Arthur was the last seed of the Arthur family, and his two sons and his eldest brother's family fell victim to the murder of chickens and monkeys at the banquet of Li Huai and Tang Hongmen.
Thanks to the premature separation, Hu Tu had already left the house independently, and when Umon ordered the destruction of Arthur's family, he was not harmed, but his two sons came to the door at the wrong time, and happened to encounter Arthur's house being raided, and the wolf-like soldiers did not care about their arguments at all, and they all cut them in two.
Since then, the Hutu family has been considered extinct. Therefore, Hu Tu hated Li Huaitang of the magpie's nest, but he couldn't help it. It wasn't until he heard that Turgish was coming, and saw the mountain of hundreds of heads piled up in front of the palace, that Hutu could no longer suppress the fire of revenge burning in his heart.
Hutu's family was not prominent in the city of Qishi, and because of his low profile, most people did not notice him, so dozens of young and strong slaves in his family were spared and did not join the defense force of the city.
However, when it came to supporting the defenders in terms of materials, Hutu spared no effort, and he was quite active in everything from food to stones.
Hutu, who is good at forbearance, knows that he has few chances, only once, so Hutu seeks to kill with one blow and waits for the best opportunity.
Time replay. The Turgish people jointly attacked the north and south gates of Qishi City.
Hutu was right. Li Huaitang's group of horse bandits did not run the city for a long time, the troops were insufficient, and the people's hearts were uneven, once the strength of the Tuqi Shi people broke out, the strength of the horse bandits would definitely be overstretched, and the city defense could not be taken care of, and the martial law in the city would naturally be useless. The fierce battle was raging at the head of the city, and it was the weakest time in the city.
"Master, it seems that the south gate is tight, and the soldiers under martial law on the street have withdrawn in that direction."
"Good opportunity! Master, are we among the people who are carrying stones, and take the opportunity to meet the Turgish at the south gate? ”
Hutu's slave leader watched the street through the crack in the door, reported to Hutu in real time, and excitedly offered his insight.
"Don't worry, I have my own opinions!"
Hutu's tone was calm and decisive. He knew that the more he got to this time, the more calm he became, and although his subordinate slaves pointed fingers in front of him, he did not lose his temper, and at very moments, when employing people, Hutu was still very measured.
"See it all? All the soldiers under martial law in the streets have withdrawn? ”
"Yes, master, they're all gone."
"Okay, get ready, head to the north gate."
Hutu smirked. The more fierce the Turgish the Turgish the people at the south gate, the weaker the defense force at the north gate will be, and besides, from the sound of the voice, the defenders are also tossed by the Turgish people at the gate.
A convoy appeared on the street leading to the north gate, and dozens of people dressed as people approached the city gate unhurriedly, picking up or resisting the supplies needed for the city defense. In the city of beggars, there are countless such convoys, and the closer they get to the city gate, the more and more dense they are, and no one will notice the sudden increase in an unfamiliar face.
Sure enough, as Hu Tu expected, the defense of the north gate also reached a critical moment, at the city gate, only a dozen old and weak people were left to guard the side of the passage of the city gate, the passage was full of debris and stones, and at the end of the dark passage was the city gate that was not very strong.
Close, close. Hutu's heart beat harder as the distance between him and the city gate shortened.
"Hey! What do you do? All the stones were to be carried by me to the stone steps on the side, and they went up to the top of the city. ”
The veteran guarding the gate angrily pointed to a convoy approaching him, shouting loudly.
To the surprise of the veterans, these usually submissive people suddenly seemed to be beaten with blood, and his anger just now seemed to be the catalyst, almost at the same time, these dozens of people left behind their excess burdens, and suddenly had an extra weapon in their hands, or a short knife and a short spear, or a wooden stick and stone, and launched an attack on the old and weak guards guarding the city gate without life.
"The Turks have entered the city, flee!"
Hutu's domestic slaves are bewitching and creating chaos while attacking.
Hu Tu was very satisfied with the performance of the house slaves, and the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days was a while, and in peacetime, Hu Tu was very concerned about cultivating their loyalty to him, and he was both gracious and powerful. Hu Tu, a businessman, has a deep understanding of the fact that in times of crisis, he has to rely on these lowly slaves to protect his life, and at the same time, he has more or less taken precautions to seize family power. Unexpectedly, this power is used here today.
"Kill me, and whoever opens the gates first will be rewarded with a thousand dinars!"
Hutu's eyes were red, and the hope of hatred for the imminent snow led him into a state of hysteria.
More than a dozen old and weak guards are not opponents at all, under the impact of Hutu's slaves, they died and fled, and in the blink of an eye, the north gate of Qishi City was announced to change hands.
"Quick, remove those debris and rocks for me, and open the gates to meet the Turgish!"
Victory was in sight, and Hutu's heart was on fire.
At the head of the city, the offensive and defensive sides are in the white-hot stage of hand-to-hand combat, the battle is fierce, cruel, and stalemate, even if it adds the strength of a hair, the balance of victory will be tilted for it.
The fruits of victory came so easily, as if they could be plucked, that Hutu felt a little unreal, and feared that the defenders of the city would pounce on him at any moment and shatter his hopes. However, Hutu was surprised, his worries were completely unnecessary, until the debris in the passage of the city gate was removed, and even the gate was opened, and the defenders did not appear, but to Hutu's consternation, the expected Turgish did not follow the passage of the city gate. It was as if he had opened not the gates of the city, but his own house, and no one cared about his actions.
Hutu stood alone outside the gate of the north gate of the city of Qishi, unable to understand what he saw, and in the rolling dust, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves and the sound of fighting were intertwined, and he did not know what was happening.
"Could it be that there is infighting among the Turgish?"
Hutu muttered to himself, feeling a bit of a hero's bad luck.
"Damn, do I have to run for my life?"
Hutu soon found himself deprived of even a chance to escape, and in the chaotic battlefield outside the city, a cavalry of dozens of men was stripped out and rushed in his direction.
"It's over, it's a horse bandit!"
This will finally make it clear to Hutu who he is riding......
When Li Huaitang hurriedly led a large group of soldiers to the north gate, the city gate had been re-closed, and hundreds of soldiers were waiting for the enemy.
"General, the traitor has been captured. Gongsun Yaowu was humiliated by his mission and almost lost the city gate. If it weren't for Kuroko's cavalry, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Gongsun Yaowu looked guilty and stood in front of Li Huaitang to plead guilty.
Li Huaitang smiled bitterly, it's no wonder that Yaowu, he knew that Yaowu also tried his best, not because of a command error, but because of insufficient troops.
"Tell me first."
Li Huaitang understated and shifted the topic.
"This man's name is Hutu, and he is a fish that has slipped through the net of the Arthur family......"
Watching Gongsun Yaowu point to Hu Tu, who was tied up with five flowers, Li Huaitang understood the ins and outs of the matter.
"General, let me dismember him!"
Gongsun Wenyuan, who was holding a strong crossbow in his hand, gritted his teeth and said.
Li Huaitang smiled coldly, which made Hu Tu, who was in pity, shudder.
"No, killing people is just a nod to the ground, it's too cheap for him. Chop off his hands and feet, put him in a cage for me, and put it right here for everyone in the city to see what happened to him. ”
Murderous intent enveloped Li Huaitang's whole body.
"Raid his whole house. Kill one in front of him every day, hang my head for me, let him listen to the voice of his relatives, look at the faces of his relatives, say goodbye, and miss well. ”
…….
"Brother, is the general too cruel?"
Gongsun Wenyuan scratched his head and asked Gongsun Yaowu secretly.
"What do you know, this is called slaughtering people and slaughtering hearts, whoever wants to rebel in the future has to weigh ...... carefully"
