Chapter 268: Benevolence and Righteousness on the Bank of the Yellow River [Requested]
"This village does the right thing for heaven, eliminates violence and peace, and has always acted without deviation. This is a lesson to be learned. The capture of the Daimyo's Mansion this time is also to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and kill all the evil tyrants, which has nothing to do with the common people. Asking for millions of dollars and food is only to help the hundreds of thousands of refugees who are waiting to be fed outside the water park, and there is no intention of violating the passage towards the city. But unexpectedly, people are harmless and tigers are harmful, and tigers are hurtful. Liangshanbo's benevolence and righteousness were calculated by the king and the thief, and this hatred swore not to rest. He and the others knew that if the first evil was taken down and the city was sacrificed, not a single grass or tree should be committed here, and the army would collect its troops and go back to the mountain. If they do not listen to the advice and resist stubbornly, they will be bombarded with flying cannons, and when the city is broken, the lives will be ruined, and the rest of life will be regretted. β
In the Liangshan military camp in Chaocheng, Lu Qian wrote down these words with a pen, asking his relatives to copy them more, and then tied many notices to arrows one by one and shot them into the city. Only this notice was shot into the city, and there was no movement for a long time, and several Liangshan soldiers came to visit, but they were shot by a puff of arrows in the city, and they were ambushed, and they fought for their lives.
Lu Qian couldn't help but be furious, must the king of this dynasty in the city have eaten himself? There are also the people of Chaocheng, who have not moved at all, do they think that Liangshanbo can't beat Chaocheng? This is "popping", slapping the face of the lord of Lu Dazhai.
But Lu Qian did not order the siege of the city. Because he didn't have a stone cannon in his hand, let alone a Liangshan cannon, even the traditional stone cannon of the Song Army didn't have one. The stone cannons collected from the arsenal of the Daimyo Mansion were the heavy weapons of the country such as the Nine Guns and the Thirteen Cannons, and now they have all been turned into parts, such as the valuable and precious wood such as the cannon tips were packed and transported back to Liangshan, and the rest of the utensils such as the base were all chopped up and burned as firewood.
But Lu Qian still didn't think it was so difficult to fight in the city.
The Ding Zhuang guarding the head of the city was just ordinary people, and what they held was only a folk hunting bow, and the lethality and range were far worse than the military bows. The men and horses of Liangshanbo were draped in battle armor, and the lethality of the arrows was weakened to the extreme.
And the hard crossbow in this city may only be in the hands of Wang Ding, but how many can there be?
Immediately the order was passed down, and the trees were cut down and the siege equipment was made. At dawn the next day, the sun shone on the earth, and Lu Qian personally led the two battalions of the guards to appear under the city. There were indeed other troops around there, but more of them were stationed to guard the transport lines. From beginning to end, this Chaocheng was just a small episode in the retreat of Liangshanbo.
That Wang Ding didn't think about cutting off Liangshanbo's retreat, and wanted to attack Liangshanbo and hit Liangshanbo hard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his cards in the first round that day. This guy is just trying to get a gimmick! And this false name alone is enough for him.
Thousands of heavy infantry, for the ten displays, stepped forward in unison to "knock knock ......", the loud sound of the sound, neat, like a giant drum directly in the hearts of the people, shocking people. The hundreds of prisoners of war who followed them, carrying long ladders, followed behind the left and right battalions, and behind them there was a group of 100 light horsemen closely watching.
"General......" At the head of the city, a commander behind Wang Ding's body shouted softly. His heartbeat accelerated at the moment, and the thousands of ironclad soldiers of the Liangshan Army were like a black cloud pressing on people's heads, and every squirm could make people feel a palpitation and a dullness.
The entire city was shrouded in dark clouds, and an oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire city.
My family knows my own business. Wang Ding was the first general to rush to the south of the city to suppress the 'civil unrest', but before Wen Zhongrong and Cui Wei could be suppressed by him, the Daimyo's Mansion fell. This turning point came too quickly, so that Wang Ding was ignorant. When he came to his senses, Wang Ding did not go to the left-behind mansion to help the savior, but cleanly led a marker to escape from the south gate quickly. Wen Zhongrong and Cui Wei couldn't stop him, and there were many defeated soldiers at the south gate who fled from it. It was the place where the first rebellion started, and many officers and soldiers gathered, and when the Daimyo's Mansion fell, at least half of those officers and soldiers fled. Wen Cui and the others are weak, but they can't seal the city gate.
Outside the Daimyo's mansion, Wang Ding set up his own general banner and once recruited 3,000 small men. He first went to Nanle Town in the south of the city to station, to organize his troops and horses and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. As a result, as soon as these words were revealed, his soldiers and horses became in chaos, and after the chaos of the night calmed down, the number of people was counted, and it was nearly half.
In this way, he was unstable in Nanle Town, and Wang Dingfang led the soldiers and horses to Chaocheng County, and many people scattered along the way.
At present, the army in his hands is only a thousand people, but these thousand remnants of the army are also vulnerable, and the people in the city are becoming more and more unbearable, this commander is very suspicious, if Liang Shanbo, a thief in heavy armor, really rushed to the city, and the city was broken in a snap of his fingers.
With his right hand raised slightly, Wang Ding stopped his subordinates' words and looked cautiously ahead. Today, the Liangshan thief Kou put on such a posture, not only his subordinates were frightened, but he was also afraid. But it's already done, isn't it too late to regret it? Before deciding to provoke Liang Shanbo, didn't he also think of the current scene. Where in the world is there a great merit that can be obtained without taking the slightest risk. This can only hope that the rolling wood and stone on the head of the city and the ash bottle gold juice can repel the Liangshan bandits.
Lu Qian held up a clairvoyant scope, yes, it was the monocular. After nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, after making and breaking a piece of crystal clear crystal, the first finished product was finally born. Named by Lu Qian Qian, the huge Liangshanbo people gave a thumbs up to praise this name for being good, just as the name suggests, worthy of the name.
They are more than a mile away from each other, but under the mirror, the faces of the characters on the city are not visible. "Haha, it's just a group of remnants of defeated soldiers, frightened birds, why be afraid?" He handed the clairvoyant mirror to Suo Chao in his right hand, but he turned a blind eye to Li Kui's flattering face on his left hand. Who called this black guy not only black, but also blacker.
In view of the fact that he ripped off the stretching copper pipe when he first came into contact with the clairvoyant, Lu Qian decided to temporarily ban Li Tieniu. When the production process of this clairvoyant mirror is mature and the number of cottages hoarded is more, he will be placed in a place.
Suo Chao took the clairvoyant mirror to look at the city, and his face was full of smiles, "What my brother said is true." The city is full of cowardly chickens, how can it be warn! β
Here, Li Kui looked sneered, retracted his black hands, and said, "If my brother doesn't let me see it, I won't let it see, why don't you let me stay by my side?" β
"In the past, my brother handed over the clairing mirror to the leader on his left hand, and I Tie Niu stood on my brother's left side today, and I didn't see being driven out, just waiting to be able to touch it and gain knowledge. How did you change your position and go to your right hand? Isn't it shaking my iron bull? "For people of this era, the principle of telescopes is incomprehensible to ordinary people. When this artifact was first born, it was really magical, like a monster.
"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. The long-standing mistakes are still in my heart, and my brother is stingy. β
Lu Qian listened to Li Kui's words in his ears, didn't say a word, and just glanced away. The voice was no more.
He looked back at the second battalion of the guards behind him, compared to the frightened birds on the head of the city, they were the real elite who had experienced a hundred battles.
The rigorous training on the school field cannot train a real elite soldier, and they can only be called a piece of jade at best. Only through blood and fire, through war, through the dead, can this jade be stripped of superfluous impurities and glow with dazzling light.
The current Liangshan Army is the second-class elite in the world.
"Which brother would like me to call for battle?" Lu Qian's horsewhip pointed towards the city.
There was a column of leaders behind him, whether it was Suo Chao, or Hu Sanniang, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang and others, all of them were ready to fight. But the black whirlwind was a step away from grabbing the merit, and the guy didn't even ask for instructions, so he ran out immediately, with two axes in his hands, his eyes widened, he gritted his steel teeth, and shouted loudly: "Do you recognize the black whirlwind of Liangshanbo!" β
Chaocheng was majestic, and now he was shocked by the ironclad elite soldiers of Liangshanbo, and then he was fought by Li Kui, how dare anyone answer? Even though Wang Ding didn't look at Li Kui's steps, he was silent.
"Come out, the barbarian birds! Fight with you!" Li Kui shouted and scolded under the city, and the officials and soldiers at the head of the city just shouldn't. In this way, it is logical for Lu Qian to use a bow and crossbow.
"Woooooooooo......oo Woohoo......" a low horn sound.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......" the majestic sound of war drums.
The armor soldiers of the six capitals walked in orderly steps, reaching a distance of fifty paces outside the city wall, and the shouts above the city resounded, which were nothing more than the release of arrows.
But the arrows that fell on the head of the city could not stop them outside the city for a moment.
As the sergeants of the 2nd Battalion of the Guards, who were wearing heavy armor and covered with iron on their faces, and who were armed to suppress it, it was really difficult to be shot and injured by the people's bows and soft bows on the city.
However, when the bows and arrows in their hands shot arrows, it was difficult for the young men on the city who had no armor at all to avoid being injured.
"Whoosh ......"
The sound of neat arrows breaking through the air echoed at the head of the city, and the rows of arrows with the same direction seemed to have a flock of birds in the flat ground, falling towards the city quickly.
"Flutter...... Ah......h
The arrows that rained down like raindrops were like waves of polishing and training, sharpening the nerves of the soldiers at the head of the city all the time. It is a wave of stronger and stronger questions, which keeps knocking on the hearts of the defenders.
Faced with the scene of rain of arrows, the people who have not done it with real knives and guns will inevitably be flustered. This is like the new recruits who first entered the battlefield in the era of hot weapons in the later generations, and they were terrified when they heard the dense gunfire.
It's the same today.
The dense barrage of arrows and the terrible screams of the dead and wounded terrified them all.
Without the need for armor soldiers to formally attack the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city could not stand on their feet and retreated one after another. At the head of the city, the rolling wood and stone and the ash bottle of gold juice prepared by the king were all useless. In a chaotic manner, Lu Qian laughed and pointed at the horsewhip in his hand, and the soldiers carrying the long ladder in the back flocked forward, and then there were the guards led by the leader.
This kind of fight is called easy victory. By the time the Liangshan army reached the head of the city, the general trend was irreversible.
The army entered the city, and at that moment Lu Qian and all the leaders entered the county office, and saw that a cadre Ding Zhuang would embrace a civil official and a military attachΓ©, but it was the young man in the city who took the initiative to capture the fish and fled away from the county magistrate and Wang Ding, who were afraid that Liang Shanbo would be hateful, burn, kill and loot. It is also hated that Wang Ding brushed the tiger's whiskers for no reason, causing swords.
Nazhi County softened his bones early and blindly begged for mercy. Wang Ding stood up with angry eyes, refused to kneel, and ate a few sticks on his legs, and was forced to kneel. Lu Qian shouted: "You thief, you make trouble for no reason, harm others and yourself, what else can you say?" Wang Ding scolded: "I am an official soldier, he is a grass coward, and it is natural for officials and soldiers to kill thieves." I only hate this lost opportunity, and was brought by this group of traitors, I didn't speak, I only grabbed this head! β
Lu Qian laughed, "What a thief, he still makes big words at such a time." If it weren't for your fame, if you wanted to step on my Liangshan to be light, why would Chaocheng suffer from this disaster? When you do this in vain, you do not think that you will be defeated, and when the city is broken, you are afraid that you will inevitably slaughter the whole city and destroy all households. For you to live such a utilitarian life of right and wrong, to the detriment of good people, what kind of face do you still have to survive in the world today? "Immediately drink the order to push down and kill it. cut off his head and hang it in front of the ya.
In this way, he was pushed to Nazhi County, and Lu Qian asked the people, what is the performance of this official? The people said: "It's not good, it's not bad, it's like the wooden clay sculpture in the temple." Compared with the previous official, he is still a good person. β
What is the confusion of the people? It's just a mediocre and foolish official. But it is such a mediocre official who does not toss the people, and it is rare to see it today.
"Youdi is just a weak official, it's useless to kill him, forgive me!" He drank left and right to loosen the ties, so that Nazhi County got his life, and ran away with his head in his arms. Lu Qian opened the warehouse again, took out the accumulated money and rice, and distributed it to the poor people in the city. The dead and wounded in the battle were also compensated, although he was not very willing in his heart. But isn't it about the "big picture"? The influence of the old Zhao family in the people cannot be underestimated.
When it is to make the Chaocheng family grateful, every household praises, Qi said that Liangshan Bo righteous people are good, if we have to be here all the year round, we can live a little good life. When Lu Qian called the army to escort the prisoners of war and capture them, and pulled out of the city, many people here instead helped the old and the young, went out of the city to watch, and praised Liangshanbo for his strict discipline and no crime in the autumn. It seems that the people who died at the head of the city before were not their pilgrims......
