Chapter XXXVII: The Massacre

Qian Hongyu left, he really couldn't bear to see this scene, but let him open the city gate and let the people enter the city, which he didn't want to do, if the city was broken, the Qian family would be finished. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Dezhao followed closely, and he still wanted to persuade and persuade the king again, not to kill the people.

Qian Hongyu didn't want to look at it anymore, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, he walked into the city tower, stood up straight, his fists clenched, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

Yuan Dezhao, who came later, came in and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the king like this.

The people of Wuyue were driven by Zhou Hongzuo's troops, and they were not far from the city wall, and they stood on the side of the moat, and their cries shook the sky.

Wu Cheng at the head of the city did not give the order to shoot, but waited, these people could not attack the city at all, so he was not in a hurry, but just let the crossbowmen raise their bowstrings and make a posture of not admitting defeat.

Zhou Hongzuo looked coldly at Wu Yuejun at the head of the city, and suddenly, he grinned, and with a wave of his hand, the Tang army crossbowmen all raised their bows and arrows and shot towards the people.

Arrows rained down, and the old and weak women and children who had no ability to resist fell in pools of blood, and a round of arrows rained down, and at least hundreds of people died.

The people suddenly panicked, crying and shouting, and some approached the city gate, begging loudly, hoping that Wu Yuejun at the head of the city could open the city gate and let them enter the city.

"Daddy!"

"Mother!"

"My son!"

The bereaved people wept bitterly, their voices were full of sadness, but the Tang army's bows and arrows continued to shoot, more and more people were killed, blood flowed, the ground was dyed red, and as more and more people died, the corpses had piled up, and some smart people hid in the corpses, hoping to escape.

At the head of the city, Wu Cheng also clenched his fists, he didn't care for the people, but he knew that if the city gate was opened, the Tang soldiers hidden in the people would take the opportunity to seize the city, and if Hangzhou was lost, Wu Yueguo would be finished.

The bear and the fish paw can't have both, Wu Cheng naturally has a choice, so he chose to defend the country.

Wu Yuejun, who was guarding the city, was not as far-reaching as Wu Cheng thought, and they couldn't help but be angry when they saw their fathers and villagers being killed.

Wu Yuebing glanced at each other, with tears in his eyes.

A capital head walked quickly to Wu Cheng's side, and said in a condensed voice: "Wu Shangshu, Tang Dog is like this, it is really a great shame, the last general is willing to lead the troops to attack, defeat the Tang army, and raise the prestige of Wu Yue!" ”

"The last general is also willing to fight!"

"The last general, please die!"

Several heads were talking and expressing their desire to fight, and when Wu Yuebing heard it, they all looked sideways at Wu Cheng, hoping that he would agree.

Wu Cheng felt everyone's gaze, took a deep breath, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, in this situation, the old man doesn't want to, but the Tang army is like this, obviously to provoke us and others, if you attack or open the city gate, you will fall for the tricks of the Tang army." ”

"Wu Shangshu, even if it's a trick, you can't watch the villagers being killed by Tang Dog." One of them choked up.

Wu Cheng sighed and said: "If the Tang army enters the city, with the fierceness of this Tang army, I am afraid that the people of the city will be slaughtered, everyone, your family members are in the city, you are forced to fight, if the city is broken, your family members will be like outside the city, the old and weak are killed, and the wife is humiliated and died!" When Wu Cheng said this, he paused, raised his voice, and said, "Do you want to see this scene?" ”

The capital's hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but look back at the outside of the city, where the corpses were all over the field, piled up horizontally and vertically, and in some places it was like a hill, and the strong wind blew with a smell of blood. The strong smell penetrated into the nostrils, the nose was a little itchy, and some people couldn't help but sneeze a few times, and their bodies trembled slightly.

They are not saints, and even if they sympathize with these people, if their family members are threatened with death, they will inevitably choose to protect their loved ones.

Hearing Wu Cheng say this, the soldiers were silent, obviously they thought of this, between other people and relatives, this choice seemed difficult, but it didn't seem to be difficult.

Zhou Hongzuo was relatively close, and he could clearly see that Wu Yuejun at the head of the city was very excited, and it was obvious that this behavior angered Wu Yueren.

Zhou Hongzuo waved his hand, and the soldiers of the rear army drove some of the people again, and there were about 500 people.

This time, Zhou Hongzuo did not choose to shoot, but let the Tang army kill, they held sharp weapons in their hands, slashing and killing in the crowd, such behavior is obviously more shocking, blood is swaying, heads are rolling down, and the people are screaming and fleeing in all directions, but where can they escape? The Tang army guarded all around, waiting for the battle, and when the people approached, they drove them back with swords, and let Zhou Hongzuo's troops be slaughtered for a while.

The wailing sound became louder and louder, as if it had magical power, disturbing people's hearts, and Wu Yuebing at the head of the city turned their heads, unable to bear to look at it, with tears in their eyes.

After these people screamed and fell, outside the north gate, the corpses were thickly stacked, which was shocking.

Zhou Hongzuo glanced back, Zhou Zong stood on the command platform, with an indifferent face, in his opinion, these Wuyue people deserve to die, the more they die, the better. At this time, there were 1,000 people who died under the city wall, and Zhou Zong saw that the city of Hangzhou still showed no signs of opening, so he ordered the soldiers around him to play the flag.

"What did they say?" At the head of the city, Wu Cheng asked.

The standard-bearer standing beside him had a pale face, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

"Say, just say, the old man wants to know, what is Tang Dog going to do?" When Wu Cheng spoke, he also gritted his teeth.

The standard-bearer smiled bitterly and said, "Wu Shangshu, Tang Gou said that by this time tomorrow, they will still kill people." ”

"Silk!" Wu Yuebing, who heard this, gasped, the Tang people were too ruthless, such an act was to destroy Wu Yue's foundation.

"Tang dog, don't die well!" Wu Cheng gritted his teeth and said.

Everyone thought so, and looked out of the city, a little more hatred.

At this time, Qian Hongli and Yuan Dezhao walked out quickly, the two didn't know what to say, Yuan Dezhao's mood stabilized, and Qian Hongyu didn't have the sad look just now, but when the two walked to the female wall and saw the mountains of corpses piled up outside the city, Qian Hongyu's body shook and his face changed suddenly.

The Tang army is so hateful, he actually killed so many people, and most of them are old and weak women and children who are powerless, and they have no humanity at all.

Wu Cheng's face was pale, and he repeated Zhou Zong's words, Qian Hongyu frowned tightly, and then said, "Tang Dog, I will kill him." ”

After a period of killing, the sky had become dark, Zhou Zong chose to retreat, and after returning to the camp, he ordered the soldiers to search for the people of Wuyue everywhere, and all of them were caught in the barracks, ready to be beheaded in the coming day. The next day, there was another massacre, more than 500 corpses were thrown outside the city, and then the Tang army retreated in style.

Qian Hongyu felt sorry for the people, and sent people out to collect the corpses, so many corpses could not be buried one by one, so he had to dig a big pit, throw the corpses in and bury them, in order to prevent the plague, and sprinkled lime on it, Qian Hongyu asked Wu Cheng to go out of the city to worship secretly.

"The Tang army is too fierce, we must think of a way, we must not let them continue to slaughter innocent people." Late at night, Yuan Dezhao said.

In the study, there are also Qian Hongyu, the king of Wuyue, Wu Cheng, the secretary of the military department, Wu Yanfu, the prince of Zhengguo, Lin Ding, and so on.

Wu Yanfu said: "The Tang army is powerful, and Zhou Zong is even more of a butcher, he killed the people of Wu Yue today, and he will definitely die a good death." ”

Qian Hongyu smiled bitterly, if the curse could make people die, I'm afraid Zhou Zong would have died a long time ago. At this time, it is completely meaningless to say these words, and how to deal with this crisis is the most important thing.

Lin Ding coughed and said, "Zhou Zong, this person is said to have something to do with King Yan, but I don't know why he is like this this time?" ”

The contradictions within the Tang Dynasty are well-known, especially the private friendship between Qian Wenfeng's second son and King Yan, and the news continues to spread back to Hangzhou, so that everyone has a deeper understanding of the contradictions within the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Cheng sneered, of course, this sneer was not because of Lin Ding's problem, but because of the Tang people. Speaking of which, Lin Ding recommended him to join the company back then, and he had the grace of knowing him. Wu Cheng said: "In my guess, Yang Lian's progress is too fast, and the Yan Wang party is afraid that Yang Lian will make great contributions, so Zhou Zong gave up Suzhou and went south to Hangzhou." I want to get the first credit. ”

Wu Yanfu laughed twice and said, "Tang Dog is really whimsical, Hangzhou City has been in business for several years, how can it be so easy to capture." ”

"That's why Tang Dog will kill people outside and confuse us and others, and now there are at least more than 3,000 dead and injured people outside the city." Wu Cheng shook his head.

Qian Hongyu pursed his lips for a while and did not speak, but quietly listened to everyone's discussions.

Lin Ding nodded and said, "Could it be that the only way to do this is to let Tang Dog kill people?" ”

"Maybe that's the best thing to do." Wu Cheng shook his head.

After Qian Hongyu was silent for a while, he finally spoke, he stood up, walked to the edge of the map, pointed to Hangzhou, and said: "Everyone, the current situation is very obvious, the Tang army is attacking in several ways, and the momentum is very fierce, Zhou Zongbu has set up a large camp outside Hangzhou, and Yang Lian has occupied Yuezhou, and now he is training sailors, intending to seize Hangzhou Bay. ”

"The advantages of the Tang army are obvious, but they also have disadvantages, first, Zhou Zong's lone army is deep, Suzhou and Xiuzhou are still under the control of Wu Yue, and they can threaten the grain route of Zhou Zongbu at any time, and King Gu thinks that Zhou Zongbu can't take Hangzhou at all except for using tricks."

"The biggest threat is still Yang Lian's department." Qian Hongyu said, unconsciously thinking of Qian Wenfeng in Suzhou. Qian Wenfeng is the son of the daughter of Qian Yuanhui and Yang Xingmi, in terms of relationship, the Qian family and the Yang family have a close relationship, although there was friction, but after several major battles, both sides found that they could not eliminate the other, so there was a brief peace.

Later, this balance changed with the usurpation of power by Xu Wen and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty by Xu Zhihe, and the connection between Wu Yue and the Central Plains Dynasty became closer, and the hostility towards the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger. Now facts have proved that the ambition of the wolf son of the Tang Dynasty is impossible for Wu Yueguo to be peaceful.

Putting aside this history, Qian Hongyu is more concerned about what is Yang Lian's identity?
