Chapter 453: Killing and Conquering

At the head of the city, arrows flew all over the sky, constantly shooting towards the Xianbei soldiers under the city, and occasionally some Xianbei soldiers threw the few huge stones at the head of the city and smashed them at the battering rams that were tearing down the city walls.

The intention of the Xianbei people is obvious, that is, at all costs, to destroy all these clans who want to knock down the city and the siege rams they have promoted, otherwise, once the surrendered city falls, their fate will naturally need not be said.

"Push, push quickly, the Han people said that if you push to the city wall, you can live, it's a little close, ah...... ......"Under the city, a Xianbei man who is obviously very prestigious in pushing the siege hammer together, seems to have completely forgotten his identity at the moment, as if he is a Han person, constantly urging the people around him like a Han to push down the city, and even if he was hit by an arrow, he has been gritting his teeth and persevering, shouting and pushing the city."

At this time, next to the battering ram that was attacking the city, from time to time there were Xianbei people pouring buckets of water to the place where the battering ram hit the city sharply, and these buckets were placed on the simple board cart used to make the battering ram, in order to wet the rammed earth of the city wall with water, so that the tamped soil was soft, so that when the battering ram hit, they could knock down the city wall more quickly.

However, the time that these Xianbei people who besieged the city was too short after all, and with those few siege rams, one after another, the Xianbei people who defended the city were smashed by the few boulders at the head of the city, and the outcome of this initial siege war was needless to say.

The Han army gave these siege Xianbei people only siege rams, as for the ladder such as the ladder, but they did not give one, in order to fear that those Xianbei people would cheat, get the ladder and flee to the city, but also to cut off the last hope of the Xianbei siege soldiers. Because only when they die when they advance and retreat, and they die faster when they retreat, those captured Xianbei people will sincerely serve the Han army, and now it seems that the effect of the Han army's arrangement is indeed very good.

When the last Xianbei man under the city was powerless to push in front of him, and the battering ram that had been broken into two at the moment, it can be said that the Xianbei people who were originally driven to attack the city could be said to be completely dead, and the last Xianbei man who pushed the battering ram was finally killed by his own clan at the head of the city.

The entire surrendered city has become a purgatory tomb of thousands of Xianbei people in an instant, and for the Xianbei people who defend the city, they can be glad for a moment of safety, after all, for the time being, they have cleaned up all the cannon fodder of their own clan used by the Han people.

Of course, all this is not without a price, in order to clean up the Xianbei clan under the city, the Xianbei people who defended the city at the head of the city also paid more than 500 soldiers dead, and the other injured soldiers did not count the price.

There is no way, when the Xianbei people defending the city shoot arrows to the same clan under the city and kill each other, they have been stable behind the Xianbei cannon fodder, constantly pulling the bow and shooting arrows, and the Han army that suppressed the head of the city was not idle, they used their superb archery skills, just like the usual school field target practice, aimed at the Xianbei people at the head of the city, as long as it was not bad luck, it could always bring casualties to the Xianbei people.

After this early battle, the Xianbei soldiers lost nearly 20% of their combat strength at once, but the Han army was unscathed, and all they paid was the arrows that shot at the head of the city to take the lives of the Xianbei people.

"Shameless! Shameless! The Han people are shameless and dare not duel in a dignified manner, they will only do this shameless thing. At the head of the city, Zhi Luoluo, who got the report of the loss of his tribe, cursed loudly the Han army outside the city, but the Han army did not have anyone to respond to him, if Fu Quan knew, he might only smile at the words of Zhi Luoluo, because compared to the siege of the city made by the Hu people in the Central Plains in later generations, what he did was just a little skin.

In the rear of the Han army, the generals of the Han army looked at the surrendered city without saying a word, waiting for the commander's orders, because they knew that the one just now was just a prelude to this big battle, because for them, they never thought that they could break the surrendered city in front of them by relying on these Xianbei prisoners.

Those Xianbei captives who were forced by them to attack the city were originally meant to be sent to death, in addition to consuming the arrows and stones of the Xianbei people, it was also to let them be used as bait to let the Han army shoot accurately, and now their task has been completed very well, but it is obvious that they can feel pity only for the sadness of the Xianbei women who are in the rear of the Han army at this moment, and are selected to cry.

"General, the siege equipment has been built, continue to siege the city?" With the sound of footsteps, I saw Xu Huang, who was dressed in iron armor, walking slowly, approaching, and saluting.

Fu Quan turned his head to look at Duan Cheng, and after seeing the veteran nodding, he immediately turned his head to look at the generals and shouted: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" In front of them, the generals of the Han army shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, obviously the night attack just now was not finished, and now they felt the breath of the big war again.

"All the tribes act according to the plan, before dawn, the surrendered city will fall!"

"No!"

With Fu Quan's order, the generals retreated, commanded their own troops and horses, received a siege equipment that Xu Huang had just been assigned to build, and then lined up in formation, just waiting for the horn of the general attack.

"Woo! Woo! Woo......"

The passionate horn sounded suddenly, and the soldiers of the Han army, under the leadership of the captain Sima of each department, went straight to the surrendered city, and suddenly woke up the Xianbei people who were originally frightened and had just settled down to defend the city again.

When those Xianbei people who were defending the city saw the countless Han troops outside the city in a black and oppressive formation, attacking the surrendered city, they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly shouted their own heads, holding bows and arrows again, nervously aiming at the menacing Han army. They know that the battle will only become more intense, because these Han troops are not those Xianbei people, they are better than those Xianbei people, they have better military quality, more powerful combat effectiveness, and more soldiers, once the other party attacks, they don't know if they still have a chance to repel those Han troops.

"Kill!"

"The Han army is mighty! Fight to the death! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

With the shouts of the captains of each department, the well-trained Han army soon brought the siege equipment of each department and surrendered to the city again. This time, something happened that made the Xianbei people who defended the city desperate, because they saw that the more than 10,000 Han troops who were besieging the city actually pushed twelve battering rams to attack the city wall, and these twelve battering rams were not the battering rams used by their Xianbei clan when they attacked the city in the early stage, and the Han army used better battering rams.

I saw that the Han army was pushing layers of siege rams with wraps, coming to the surrendered city step by step, and finally reaching the city wall. These battering rams, in fact, are somewhat similar to the Han people's rushing cars, they correspond to the siege rams that the Xianbei people were smashed just now, and the roads are made of simple board carts made of wooden nailing.

However, these board cars are not without a little protection, only to see that on the board cars, the Han army used thick wooden planks to protect the top and side walls, and the outer layer was wrapped with several layers of cowhide, which was strong enough to resist the impact of ordinary rolling wood and stones, and it could be fireproof. Like the battering rams used by the Xianbei people before, the car is equipped with wheels to facilitate movement, but the difference is that some soldiers can also be arranged in the car, and they hide in the car to move or even siege the city, which is a sharp weapon that makes the defenders quite tricky.

Fu Quan looked at the battering ram for the siege, and he was also quite sorry in his heart, if it wasn't for the time not allowed, he would definitely have to directly make the battering ram of the Han army, in that case, whether it was the strength or the woods that accommodated the soldiers, it would definitely not be comparable to the board cart of the Han army that temporarily collected the Xianbei tribe.

Needless to say, the results of the battle have experienced the consumption of the Xianbei people using siege rams to attack the city before, and the Xianbei people at the head of the city no longer have many boulders to attack the battering rams of the Han army under the city, and their bows and arrows and torches pose any threat to the battering rams under the city at all.

Pity these nomads, born without the military tradition of defending the city, even after occupying the surrendered city, the remaining defensive props in the city now have nothing but the rolling wood and stones left by the original Han people. It's just that now, the rolling wood has rotted and is difficult to use anymore, and the boulder, the Xianbei people have never prepared it themselves, and they have used up the inventory of the surrendered city, and naturally there is no one at all.

If the Han people defend the city, without these two weapons to defend the city, at least there are gold juice and fire oil to prepare for the unexpected, but it is obvious that these things are impossible for the Xianbei tribe in the west that now occupies the surrendered city.

Therefore, the result of the battle was obvious, when the Han army was under the double effect of the battering ram and the cloud ladder, there were thousands of Han archers behind them to constantly suppress the Xianbei people who resisted at the head of the city. After a few moments of fierce fighting, the Han army, under the leadership of Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other fierce generals, soon climbed to the top of the city, and fought with the Xianbei people at the head of the city, and under the city, the Han army's battering ram in addition to occupying the city gate to push, it continued to push the city in the place where the Xianbei people used the battering ram when attacking the city.

Without the head of the city Xianbei people with bows and arrows to suppress, the Han army under the city pushed the city more easily, and finally with the city wall in a place, dozens of Han soldiers shouted in unison, under the surrender of the city, a corner of the wall was broken, and with the more violent impact of the Han soldiers, there was finally a collapsed kick......

"Good! Good! Today, this surrendered city should be succeeded by Han. Fu Quan clapped his hands and praised loudly, the color of joy on his face kept emerging, after all, this is the first lost territory recovered by the Han army since the Han Dynasty and Xianbei have been against the enemy, and the Han army, which has been repeatedly defeated in Xianbei in previous years, once again mastered the homeland of the Han family, not to mention the situation in the ears of Emperor Liu Hong, even he himself is excited.

Jia Xu, who had been serving beside him, saw Fuquan like this, and saluted: "The general's weak crown is out of the fortress and recovers the hometown of the Han army, this is the great achievement of this dynasty, congratulations to the general......"

Seeing that Jia Xu, the fox, was going to pour ecstasy soup on himself, Fu Quan hurriedly stopped it, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wenhe doesn't need to be like this, a little bit of work is not enough." ”

Then, Fu Quan turned his head to look at the city in front of him, leading his subordinates, following the Han army that had already landed in the city, and the rescued Hu slaves such as Shi Qutu who fought with the Xianbei people, nodded on his face, it seems that his empiricism is right this time, before the war, he chose to believe the information of Shi Qutu and others, and ordered the Xianbei people to be cannon fodder, otherwise the attack would not have been so smooth.

Now, seeing Shi Qutu and other Hu slaves, wearing the captured Xianbei leather armor, and fighting to the death with the Xianbei people at the head of the city, Fu Quan couldn't help nodding, although these Hu people have brought a lot of disasters to the Han people in the past and in the future, but if they are used well, it is also a sharp weapon for themselves.

You don't see these Hu people with swords now, they are simply the doglegs of the Han army, after getting the promise of Fuquan to follow the Han army, not letting them continue to be slaves, they are fighting more terrifying than those Qiang people who are forced to enlist to attack the city, killing Xianbei people, it can be seen that it is not a difficult thing to want people to return to their hearts, the key is how to implement it, let them accept their fate.

Is it possible to adopt the method of bloody assimilation in the future, let those conquered Hu people accept their fate, and kill those who do not obey, just like the later Yuanmeng and Manchu Qing did in the future, and all these people will be incorporated into the Han nationality, after all, for the grassland, a nation based on the strong, the sword is obviously more useful than anything else.

Of course, if you can, you must find a way not to let Confucianism degenerate into the way that later generations, and it is inevitable that Confucianism will become the mainstream of the feudal dynasty. Whether it is the modern and ancient literary schools of the Han Dynasty, although their academic morality is different, in the final analysis, what they learn is mainly based on the Confucian classics, which is destined to be the foundation of Confucianism.

And he was born from a great Confucian family in this life, Fu Quan believes that even if he gains power in the future, if he dares to overthrow the status of Confucianism, I am afraid that the first one is the Langya Fu clan where he is, and he will first give himself a betrayal. Therefore, for Fu Quan, he would rather spend more things and reform some Confucian views than overturn them, which seems to be good, but it takes more energy to re-establish an academic school.

"General! Checkmate! ”

A shout came from his side again, and suddenly woke up Fu Quan, who was contemplating, Fu Quan looked at Jia Xu who shouted at him and said, "Wenhe, what's the matter?" ”

Jia Xu pointed to the surrendered city in front of him and said: "The surrendered city has fallen, and we should enter the city to watch the battle." ”

"Good! Good...... Walk! Enter the city! Only then did Fu Quan see the banner of the Han army that had been planted on the head of the city, and watched the Han soldiers who continued to pour in at the head of the city to drive into the city, thinking that they were now clearing the Xianbei people hiding in the city little by little.

Looking back at the Xianbei woman who was still crying in the back of the Han army at this moment, Fu Quan's eyes narrowed, and then a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he got on the horse brought by his own soldiers, led Jia Xu and others, and rode the horse to the surrendered city.

The grassland, from the moment I stepped out of the fortress, is waiting for my killing and conquest......
