Chapter 40: The Demon General
The gates of Bai Feng City were not closed after being attacked, so Zheng Yuan led his Hu army into the city with ease.
Very sarcastic, Yan Gu took great pains to design the Bai Feng City that he had attacked, and finally changed the owner of Bai Feng City, but Zheng Yuan entered the city so easily without much effort, and wanted to change the owner of Bai Feng City that had just changed hands.
Where can the Hu people who are still looking for fun react, they have not received the news of Zhao Fu's return of reinforcements, not to mention that the people who came to attack are Hu people like them, and they are not much defense.
"Kill the enemy and get a reward! Kill up to 100 enemies and get rid of slavery! Zheng Yuan saw that the situation was very good, and once again inspired the soldiers. Although this group of Hu troops has been reorganized into an army, and they have also reported to the military department of the Lanhe Empire, but the identities of these 3,000 people reported are all war slaves, to put it bluntly, they are slaves with nice names, they have no personal freedom, and anyone has the right to deprive them of their lives once they leave the barracks.
The removal of slavery is a more important thing for them than the golden beauty, no matter how brave the war slave is, it cannot obtain military merits, which means that no matter how great the merit they make, they are still just a small soldier, an outcast on the battlefield.
The morale of the Hu army is high again, killing people, this is not a difficult thing for them in the first place, and these Hu people in front of them who don't understand what is going on are really the best targets. Soon, the Hu army washed away the blood of the Hu people who were still blocking the city gate. Zheng Yuan had no intention of stopping, and immediately announced that several of the brave soldiers would no longer be war slaves in the future, and would officially become a soldier of the Lanhe Empire.
With the example, the remaining Hu troops were even more crazy, and the few soldiers who were announced to be removed from slavery were even more excited - which meant that they could rely on their military exploits to get ahead in the Lanhe Empire in the future!
Under the frantic harvesting of the Hu army, half of the blocks of Bai Feng City fell into the control of the Lanhe Empire again, and at this time, Yan Gu and the others reacted that these Hu people who were against them were really fighting for the Lanhe Empire.
Yan Gu was still enjoying Yang Shizhu's second room and his daughter, while his subordinates were sharing the women that Yang Shizhu had brought to Baifeng City. I have to say that the forces behind Yang Shizhu are very strong, otherwise how could he bring so many family members with him when he went out to work?
Yang Shizhu knelt on the side of the bed where he had fought, watching his former combat partner crawl on the body of Yan Gu and the others and continue to fight, but he did not feel deep regret because he could not fight side by side with him, because now he not only lost the qualification to fight, but also lost the ability to fight.
Yang Shizhu knelt to the side with a smile on his face, and said compliments in his duck-like voice that Yan Gu couldn't understand at all. Although Yan Gu didn't know what Yang Shizhu was talking about, it didn't affect his combat experience. He violently ripped open the beautiful woman's delicate lips with his hand, forcing her to smile as her face was stained with tears.
It wasn't until the herald broke in sweat-soaked clothes that Yan Gu realized that something was wrong: in order to drag Zhao Fu's main force to the west, he arranged 20,000 troops in the mountains and forests, and the soldiers he brought into the city were less than 10,000.
Who would dare to attack Bai Feng City at this time? Yan Gu's first reaction was that there were generals within the Hu people who wanted to seize power and steal merit without authorization, because it was said that all the people who came to attack were Hu people, and they spoke authentic Hu language. But who would dare to disobey Ahuyu's order in the current Beiting? He was appointed by Ahuyu himself! Haven't all the nobles of the old royal court been cleared?
Some reluctantly got dressed, and Yan Gu summoned the guards, wanting to see who dared to make trouble under his nose. When he left the city lord's mansion, he realized that Bai Feng City had become a mess now, first all kinds of refugees were still hiding in the city, fleeing, and then on the one hand, he was expelling the refugees under his own soldiers, and on the other hand, he was expelled and killed by the Hu army led by Zheng Yuan.
Although the Hu army led by Zheng Yuan was no different from the Hu people under Yan Gu, Yan Gu could see the difference between the two at a glance - first Zheng Yuan was wearing a real Northwest Army uniform, and then the order of these cavalry led by Zheng Yuan was not that of ordinary people pulled out of the Hu tribe! In other words, it was an army of Hu people organized by the Lanhe Empire.
"Assemble, assemble!" Yan Gu knew something bad, although he didn't know why such an army suddenly appeared here, but judging from the actions of this army, this army was full of hostility towards them.
However, the soldiers under Yan Gu's command were not as convenient as his personal guards, Zheng Yuan only swept half of Bai Feng City, and the other half still had a large area of land, wealth, and women in the hands of the Hu people, and the Hu people who were still enjoying it didn't care about the military orders of the heralds - in their opinion, this was nothing more than a means for Yan Gu to trick them into going back.
Yan Gu looked at the soldiers gathered in a sparse manner, and he was angry, where did these people still look like soldiers now: some people's pockets were full of gold and silver jewelry, some people were still drinking violently while holding the wine jar, some people were still shirtless, and some people were even holding a woman who was still crying!
Yan Gu watched Zheng Yuan still lead people to erase those ignorant soldiers one by one, and in a fit of anger, he asked his own soldiers to form a team of supervisors, and those who disobeyed orders were beheaded, and those who were not well-dressed were beheaded - of course, as long as the clothes were well worn, there were not a few more women's belly pockets on their bodies, which was already an extremely standardized appearance for the Hu people.
Yan Gu's approach quickly paid off, and after beheading dozens of people in a row, the rest of the people finally knew that the top boss was not joking, so they quickly threw away half of the gold and silver in their pockets, and most of the drunk ones woke up, and they picked up a few pieces of clothing from the dead people without clothes to wear, and they didn't care about the blood stains or dirt on them, in short, the most important thing was to save their lives first.
But even so, the troops of the hasty army were no match for the morale-boosting tiger and wolf division under Zheng Yuan, and in front of Zheng Yuan's bloody spear that kept dripping blood, Yan Gu's troops were defeated one after another.
"My lord, I can't hold on!" A herald braved a cold sweat to report to Yan Gu.
"What? How could it be! "Even if it's Yan Gu's head, this can't accept such a huge contrast. A moment ago, he was the first Beiting warrior to capture the territory of the Lanhe Empire, and after a while, not only could he not even defend Bai Feng City, but even his own life would be lost here.
"My lord! My lord! At this time, Yang Shizhu knelt on the ground and quickly crawled over, "The little one has an idea!" ”
Although Yan Gu didn't understand Chinese, fortunately, there was an interpreter by his side, who immediately conveyed Yang Shizhu's "strategy" to Yan Gu.
"That's a clever plan!" Yan Gu immediately organized people to collect the residents of Baifeng City who were still alive.
Yang Shizhu knew that if Yan Gu and the others died, or lost Bai Feng City, then he, as the protector of the Lanhe Empire who abandoned the city and surrendered, even if it was his own family, he might not be able to fish himself up in the spit of the world, and now he was already living and dying with the Hu people, so he suggested using the residents of the city as a meat shield, the most important thing for the Lanhe soldiers is their own family, and protecting their family and defending the country is the shame they must learn and the only one they need to master before joining the army.
On the other hand, Zheng Yuan and his subordinates also understood what Yan Gu wanted to do.
"Boss?" A Hu man who had been following Zheng Yuan who was exempted from slavery asked Zhao Fu.
"Listen to the people on the other side of the Lan River, you guys hurry up and get out of Baifeng City now, otherwise, we can't guarantee the lives of these people." Seeing that Zheng Yuan's butcher's knife had finally stopped, the interpreter on Beihu's side breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly passed the word.
Zheng Yuan looked at the terrified residents who had been just residents of Baifeng City, and the war had changed their lives, the children had lost their parents, the old father had lost their athletes, and the girls had lost the most important things, but none of them mattered, because they would soon lose something even more irretrievable.
their lives.
Zheng Yuan gritted his teeth, and shouted out word by word with a crying voice in the largest tone, "Order, kill, kill all!" ”
The Hu Jun who followed behind Zheng Yuan were all stunned, not only were they stunned, but even the Hu people on Yan Gu's side were stunned, Zheng Yuan spoke Hu language, and they naturally understood it, they didn't expect that Zheng Yuan would actually do this.
Yang Shizhu is right, the greatest glory of the sergeants of the Lanhe Empire is to protect their families and their own country. But Zheng Yuan is not, Zheng Yuan only wants to protect his master, and the three thousand Hu troops under Zheng Yuan are not, they are not the army of the Lanhe Empire at all.
Then, Zheng Yuan took the lead and yelled at the residents of Baifeng City who were still kneeling on the ground and trembling in front of him, "Run!" Run! ”。
But apart from a few young people, who can escape to where they can escape when they are frightened?
"Crazy! These people are crazy! This was Yan Gu's last thought, he didn't understand why things were like this, as if he didn't understand why a Lanhe Imperial army suddenly appeared in the city, and then he saw his headless body lying under Zheng Yuan's horse in the air.
Yan Gu's power in Baifeng City was finally swept away, and Zheng Yuan dismounted to pick up a child who had fallen to the ground, and that child reminded him of himself back then. The child stood up in panic, Zheng Yuan was about to touch his head, but he was seen with yellow pupils, the child quickly broke free of Zheng Yuan's hand, and then picked up a small stone and threw it at Zheng Yuan.
"Hu Ko!"
Hu Jun behind him was furious, and was about to fight against the child, but Zheng Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him.
Zheng Yuan looked at his hands that were already stained with blood, "I'm sorry." He put away the blood spear, drew his knife, and stabbed the child to death.
"I'll take this sin on my master's shoulder." Zheng Yuan looked at the residents of the city who were lucky to be alive.
"Kill them all." He ordered.
