Chapter 368: Finally slaughtering the city to show his true heart

Gusts of river wind rolled up thousands of huge waves, shooting under the platform, the waves were turbulent, people couldn't help but be fascinated hundreds of years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty patrolled the stage to this point, looking at the rolling river, and shot arrows into the river under the excitement.

Of course, no matter how appreciative the river water is, it is impossible for the people of Fuquan to pay all their attention to the platform and discuss this boundless scenery. The top priority now is to discuss the situation in Shu County, after all, Huang Sui's rebels did not follow Fuquan's plan, but continued to attack the city after the grain was burned, which was really unexpected by Fuquan.

"Huang Sui has no food in this fang's army, and his morale should be exhausted at this moment, why don't he retreat?" There were many doubts in his heart, Fu Quan couldn't help asking, now that the rebels have no food, it stands to reason that they should withdraw from the army, collect grain, and then make other plans, but now Huang Sui did the opposite, not only did not retreat, but ordered the army to attack Shu County desperately several times in a row, which is very strange.

After the words were spoken, several other generals around him looked at each other, shook their heads one after another, and were silent, and understood at a glance that they didn't know why Huang Sui was like this, of course, even if they wanted to break their heads, they probably couldn't imagine that Huang Sui used the illusion of using soil as food to temporarily pacify the rebels under his command.

If you know, then the reason why Huang Sui is so desperate to attack Shu County at this moment can also be guessed, it is nothing more than to take Shu County, seize the food and weapons inside, so as to strengthen himself, and at the same time can also cover up the truth of the rebels' food shortage, after all, Shu County is also a group of county rulers in the final analysis, and there is definitely a lot of surplus food, which can completely make up for the bad impact of his grain being burned by the Han army.

"Hah!"

"Kill!"

"Hah!"

……

Behind the Jiaojiao platform, a loud and rhythmic shouting came from far and near, and the sound was very imposing, interrupting Fu Quan's thoughts. But that's okay, since you can't figure it out, you just don't want to, it's a big deal to support Shu County in advance according to the original plan.

Thinking of this, Fuquan beckoned everyone to go down the mountain, to the foot of the mountain on the other side of the shooting platform, and followed the direction of the shouting of killing. Soon, after walking a long way, they saw that on an open land at the foot of the mountain, there were thousands of people waving their palm weapons at this moment.

These people are none other than the newly replenished and reorganized 3,000 soldiers under the command of Fu Quan, Fu Quan did not let them train in Zongyang City, because he heard the name of Zongyang City's shooting Jiaotai, Fu Quan intended to come here to see, and by the way, he also brought his soldiers and horses to this place for training.

Although the barracks in Zongyang City are good, after all, Zongyang has not been repaired except for the name of the county, and only occasionally the two hundred county soldiers in the city will train there. It doesn't matter if the number of people trained there is good, but for the three thousand soldiers under the command of Fuquan, it is undoubtedly not too good. Therefore, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles and save training time, Fuquan took them here to train by the way.

At this moment, these soldiers because of the lack of armor in the Zongyang Treasury, resulting in most of the newly recruited soldiers only wearing simple leather armor, or no armor at all, just wearing cloth clothes, although so, but it does not affect the spirit of their training at all, the various weapons used in their hands are danced by their tigers and tigers, obviously the training in the past three days has begun to bear fruit.

The soldiers of the Han army were still shouting for training, and a young general led by them saw Fuquan and a few people hurriedly ran to them, saluted, and said, "I have seen the prince." ”

"Hmm." Fu Quan bowed his head, and then said to the young general: "Gongming, how is the training of soldiers?" Is it feasible? ”

This young general is Xu Huang, talking about the generals he brought on this expedition, in the training of troops, there is no doubt that Xu Huang has the most experience, so Fu Quan arranged for him to preside over the training of the newly recruited more than 1,000 soldiers and the replenishment of soldiers and horses in various departments.

After hearing this, Xu Huang replied: "Back to the prince, the march of all departments should be unhindered, but the battle formation has not yet been run-in, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight with the enemy army, and it will be difficult to line up......."

"Very good!" Fu Quan interrupted Xu Huang's reply, and after confirming that his troops could march, he interrupted to start the next plan, only to see him say to the generals around him: "Shu County has been trapped for a long time, and it is difficult to be alone. ”

After hearing this, the generals around him glanced at each other, and then bowed to each other and said: "The prince has an order, and we dare not obey the death." "Just kidding, for these generals, if they don't have military merits and don't fight, it's just a violent thing. Even if they have 3,000 soldiers and horses now, and more than half of them are newly recruited people, but so what, they are the Han army, the elite of the Han Dynasty, even if there is a million troops in front of them, they are not afraid, and they will swear to lead people to charge, which is their responsibility as the courtiers of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, Fu Quan also has consideration for this, in his opinion, as long as the soldiers and horses under his command can maintain a high-intensity march and not fall behind, it is fine. Because of the small number of strikes, the Han army wants to rely on the military formation to grind with the rebels little by little, obviously too reluctantly, and most of the final results are that the two armies are in a chaotic battle, in this case, what army formation does he need, as long as at the right time, surprise the rebels, and he will fight a flesh-and-blood battle, and now the situation in Shu County is urgent, and he can't delay it, as for whether it is life or death if it is like this, it can only depend on the will of God.

"Good!" Fu Quan laughed, then looked at Yan Yan who was on the edge and said, "Heber, lead the elite cavalry and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard of the army." ”

"The last general commands."

Yan Yan was stunned at first, he didn't expect Fu Quan to order him to be the vanguard of the army this time, but he quickly reacted and promised loudly.

Of course, Yan Yan, who was the vanguard of the army, was happy, but the other henchmen and generals under Fuquan were not happy, and there was a trace of anger in the eyes of Huang Zhong and Guan Yu when they looked at Yan Yan, as if they had been robbed of their hearts, and even Xu Huang, a young man with a calm nature, had an unnatural complexion.

In this regard, Fu Quan did not take it to heart, he was their lord, how to order them can only accept it, and then he turned his head and continued: "Order the officials of Zongyang to quickly prepare dry food for the army for ten days, and transport it at noon, and the rest of the generals, each leading the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, march with Gu. ”

"No!"

Naturally, everyone did not dare to disobey Fuquan, so they saluted and retreated, and each of them sorted out their own troops and horses, and prepared to march to the battle.

Seeing the generals under his command leaving with various expressions on their faces, Fu Quan couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, his choice of Yan Yan as the vanguard of the army was naturally not chosen at random. Guy in front of the sneak attack on the rebel grain and grass, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were injured a lot because of the resistance, among which Guan Yu was the most seriously injured, although the wounds have been healed a lot now, but they are injured after all, Fu Quan in line with the intention of reducing their burden, or decided to stay with them temporarily, and at the same time saved some other generals who later took refuge in his side, some meritorious opportunities.

At noon, after receiving the documents sent by Yiqi, the superintendent of the post in the southern part of Lujiang County in Zongyang City did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered all the officials under his command to prepare the grain and grass needed for the 3,000 army for ten days, and collected some people to transport them to the shooting platform.

Subsequently, I saw that the 3,000 soldiers under the command of Fuquan had each taken enough dried rice for ten days to eat, and then marched quickly to the southwest under Fuquan's order......

Fuquan's army rushed to the southwest of Shu County, and at this moment, outside Shu County, there were already corpses all over the field, wolf smoke everywhere, the Han army and the rebels were dead and wounded, and a battle was extremely tragic.

After all, Shu County is the county of Lujiang County, the city is high and the walls are strong, and it is in the south, and the natural city is surrounded by a wide moat, which is naturally extremely inconvenient for the rebels. However, there was no other way, unless the rebels did not want to attack the city, otherwise they had to fill it with human lives.

The width of this moat is about ten battles, Huang Sui from the beginning of the attack on Shu County, to the recent siege, in order to fill the moat has tens of thousands of people killed and wounded, it can be said that every step of the rebels, is to pay the price of blood.

The rebel commander Huang Sui rode his horse. Hundreds of horses stand at the south gate, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses behind him, and the remaining three gates, in addition to the north gate, also have 20,000 soldiers and horses to besiege them.

Of course, it seems that no one is attacking the north gate of Shu County, but in fact, in a mountain forest thirty miles outside the north gate, Huang Sui also arranged an ambush for 10,000 soldiers. For this city that cost him tens of thousands of soldiers, how could Huang Sui let go of the officers and soldiers inside, he can rely on the mud legs of the Han and barbarian clans to rise, in addition to having a certain knowledge, he also knows how to make his soldiers excited and increase his combat effectiveness.

Every time the city was broken, Huang Sui would let his soldiers loot high-ranking officials and wealthy households, local wealthy and powerful families, on one side to raise the army, and on the other hand, it was just to let the soldiers who rebelled with him vent, which was also the fixed development method of many peasant army uprisings throughout the ages. And the result of this will undoubtedly lead to most of the rebellious armies, becoming exiled armies, fighting one place for another, destroying local production, if it is the end of the dynasty, maybe there are other opportunities, but most of the results, there is only one, that is, the army is finally destroyed by the central orthodox dynasty.

The rebels under Huang Sui's command are the same, but because of the banner of "overthrowing the tyrants", he naturally can't attack ordinary people, but just forcibly pulls them into the gang. Turning the soldiers into the objects of their negative emotions turned into local clans, which completely exacerbated the contradictions between social classes, and the result of this was of course that the rebels continued to improve their combat strength and achieved brilliant results, but they also made the local clans regard the rebels as fierce tigers, confront them as mortal enemies, and support the local government offices.

Lu Kang was quickly parachuted into the court and released as the Taishou of Lujiang, and he was able to adjust the affairs of the county so quickly, control the power, and block the rebels for many days under the city of Shuxian, in addition to his own extreme ability, it was also because of the local clans who swore to help each other. Otherwise, if the people in Shu County are not aligned, and the people are not effective, Lu Kang will not be able to hold on to the present.

Looking at the county seat of Shuxian County with the gate tightly closed, Huang Sui gritted his teeth, this battle was simply a shame for him since the uprising, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses besieged for nearly a month, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, and the city was not broken. At this moment, the resolute Han soldiers on the city wall were like a nightmare, blocking his ambition to overthrow the south and dominate the world.

Thinking that he had spent a lot of effort to block the news of the lack of food, it was just to be able to delay time and break Shu County. Now although this Shu County has been attacked by himself several times, but none of them have been repelled by the Han army, and then drag on like this, and when the soldiers find that their rations are insufficient, they will make trouble, and they can't do anything to block the news. Wouldn't it be good to surrender honestly?

Clenching the whip in his hand, Huang Sui kept complaining, he knew that since he chose to continue to attack the city this point of no return, he had no other choice, and now Shuxian still did not stop, this was not his intention at all, the only way to do it now was to change his strategy with a fierce medicine.

"Come here, send an order to the whole army, Shuxian City is full of tyrants and lackeys, after breaking the city, let the troops go for three days, and the general will not be investigated."

"No!"

In the end, Huang Sui finally gave the order he didn't want to give in his heart, and completely indulged the soldiers to slaughter the city, although this seemed to be the same way he used to loot large households, but this time, Huang Sui was not ready to let go even the ordinary people. Obviously, the people in the city are strong and sworn to support the Han Dynasty officials and troops to defend the city, so that the Han army, which has insufficient troops, can defend it until now, which has completely angered Huang Sui, and let him shout out that the people in Shuxian County are the same as the Han army, and they are the words of the lackeys of the Han Dynasty.

"The general has an order, there are tyrants and lackeys in Shu County, after breaking the city, let the troops go for three days, and everything will not be investigated."

"The general has an order, there are tyrants and lackeys in Shu County, after breaking the city, let the troops go for three days, and everything will not be investigated."

"The general has an order, there are tyrants and lackeys in Shu County, after breaking the city, let the troops go for three days, and everything will not be investigated."

……

"Kill!"

"Long live the General!"

"Kill!"

"Long live the General!"

"Kill!"

……

As the knight shouted along the rebels at the three city gates outside Shuxian City, after hearing that the city could be completely indulged after the city was broken, the morale that had fallen because of the successive unsuccessful sieges of the city suddenly rose high, and they raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

The scene was very lively for a while, for these rebels, the repeated defeats had already made them extremely psychologically vulnerable, and the countless companions who had died under the city constantly stimulated them and put great pressure on them. They need to vent, and Huang Sui's order at this moment is undoubtedly a healing medicine for them, thinking that after breaking the city, they can kill people at will, loot property, and rob women, these soldiers only feel that their hearts are beating wildly.

There is no doubt that the massacre of the city is the best way to boost the morale of the troops who are besieging the city, although the consequences of this are serious and costly, after all, Huang Sui's reputation will be ruined after this battle, causing many people who have been oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to be afraid to join the rebel army, but it will undoubtedly quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in a short time.

However, at this moment, Huang Sui can't take care of these anymore, for him, he can't break the city, he can't get the food in the city, everything he has worked hard for will come to naught, who cares about that reputation at that time?

Now, compared to fame, of course, it is unscrupulous.
