Chapter 65: Armed Intervention (End)
When the fire rope in Jian Chen's hand burned to the end, he was already lying behind the trees, and the previous scolding had dragged on for some time, and the leader of the city had not gone far even if he left. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The soldiers of Xia Cheng knew that the movement would be very big for a while, they had never seen so much gunpowder used at one time, and a few people who had blown up the mine with Chen Jian in the mine had seen the power of thirty or fifty catties of gunpowder exploding at the same time at most, and they were full of expectations for the explosion of hundreds of catties of gunpowder contained in this wooden plank.
The mouth cannon that should be fought and the archway that should be erected have been erected, and the rest is to rely on strength to speak, Chen Jian is very confident in this, a city of thousands of people, even if all the people are soldiers, is only one or two thousand people with insufficient organization and training, and the street fighting on the narrow streets cannot impact this group of soldiers who have been out of work for more than two years.
The soldiers said with a smile of victory: "That group of people also said that our Xia City people can't attack the city before sunset, so let's let them know!" ”
Chen Jian seized the last time to do the last political work before the impact.
"At the beginning of this battle, I said that it is divided into ten parts, and the three parts of the army are seven points. After entering the city, no one was allowed to mention their insult to Xia Cheng, they were deceived by the leader, this should be clear. It is forbidden to insult them, not to show off their might, and especially not to say anything that is estranged between the two cities. People who win with their mouths are ridiculous, and we don't rely on this to win. ”
"Remember, we are here to help the relatives of these cities not be deceived by a bad leader, not to prove that the people of Xia Cheng are better than them, not to interfere with their choices and overthrow their chosen leader. They've already failed, so there's no need for them to think we're insulting them after they've failed. ”
"It's not allowed to rob other people's goods, there are still a lot of land villages in the west of Xia City, compared to what you grab, that's your real reward, the wolf's fiefdom has captured so many slaves in half a year, how much can you rob? Be sure to tell the big and the small! Whoever plunders will never be sealed, and all the accumulated merits will be lost. Anyone who instigates, insults, or scolds the previous city wall will have his merit halved. ”
After a while, a violent flash of light came from the side of the city wall, and the sound reached the woods after the thick gunpowder smoke rose, the earth was trembling, and the wooden planks flew up to the sky more than ten steps high, as if the whole city was shaking, even if it was so far away, the violent shock still made Chen Jian's heart tremble a little, and he took a few big breaths and looked at the warriors of Sucheng in the distance with fright, and looked at the mushroom-like smoke rising from the city wall in a sluggish manner.
The city gate made of wood has been blown to pieces, and hundreds of catties of black powder burned in the sealed wooden plank instantly, and the huge energy generated by the burning of the wooden plank shattered the wooden plank, and more than 30 people near the city wall were directly shocked to death, without a single wound on their bodies, but their internal organs had been damaged, and their ears and eyes were constantly bleeding, and the few who did not die were also like losing their souls, and they stood unsteadily, and their heads were blank and stupid.
Their ears could no longer hear the sound, only the buzzing echo, and when the people who were a little farther away woke up from the nightmare just now, they only saw the soldiers of Xia Cheng rushing to the bombed city gate with big mouths, shouting something that they didn't hear clearly, but they no longer had the heart to resist, and looked up at the sun...... It's still early to go down.
When the Su Tang in the bushes reacted, Chen Jian had already led the soldiers of Xia Cheng to rush over first, but the soldiers he brought were still immersed in the horror just now, and the distance between them and Xia Cheng's team was a hundred steps, and a herald from Xia Cheng beside him kept urging: "Please also ask Su Tang to take the Su Cheng warriors to attack, it is a taboo for the two armies to be a hundred steps apart, and if I am farther away, I will also be punished as a herald!" ”
Su Tang came back to his senses and told people to hurry up, but those Xia Cheng people ran too fast, and they ran very slowly at the beginning of the distance of three hundred paces, and when they were thirty or forty paces away, they suddenly accelerated but also hit neatly. The people on his side began to attack quickly from 300 steps away, but by the time they ran more than 200 steps, their legs were already sore and out of breath.
When he reached the breach, Suyu swallowed as he looked at the charred adobe and the planks that had been blown deep into the dirt.
Several people defending the city were lying motionless on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices, their eyes were wide open, and their faces still had the expressions they had before death, as if they were smiling, and their clothes were still intact, and there was not the slightest wound.
The residual weird smile on his face added a bit of horror, Su Tang was pleasantly surprised to think that when his father was at war with the Dongyi people, several times the Dongyi people could not defend the city and attack, and the siege was March and May, and the Dongyi people could always come to the decisive battle with the whole clan, and the two sides could only fight into a confrontation with heavy casualties.
"Xia Cheng is now allied with my Sucheng, maybe ...... Maybe my father can really do what Hua didn't do back then! I...... I may not just be the leader of Ashima, but the leader of a vast expanse of thousands of miles from the coast of the East China Sea to the source of the great river......"
The frenzied millet soup suddenly felt that this somewhat choking bitter gunpowder smoke was actually the best smell in heaven and earth, clenched the bronze sword given by Chen Jian in his hand, and waved it downward in the same way as Chen Jian, pointing straight at the city, but compared to the iron sword wielded by Chen Jian, whose decorative significance was greater than that of actual combat, his copper sword was always much shorter and had no momentum.
In the distance, the shouts of the people of Xia Cheng echoed: "Capture alive the sinner who burned his own people and let him be judged!" The people of Xiacheng are not here to fight you, but to make you recognize the leader of this beast-faced heart! It is to get you out of his deception! ”
Su Tang raised his head and found that the few people who played the flute and whistle had already seized the heights of several rooms, and were shouting these words that seemed meaningless to him, and even many archers put down their bows and did the same thing, and there was only a group of soldiers with swords and shields fighting with a group of people in front, but the other party had begun to be confused, especially after a few loud noises, a few sword and shield soldiers carrying a person were talking to Chen Jian.
"Seems to have been caught?" Suyu thought.
It was indeed caught, Chen Jian confirmed. The leader of the city did not die, but was stunned, more than a dozen close clans desperately resisted, and were scattered, Chen Jian ordered to seize the opportunity to no longer maintain the formation of five people in a team to follow the impact, and in case of resistance, they were all killed, and the other party was not allowed to regroup, and the archers and flutes followed, and one person in each thirty or fifty steps shouted propaganda.
The son of the old leader followed us, Chen Jian asked someone to come quickly, and after confirming that the unconscious person in his hand was the leader of the city, he asked someone to guard it strictly, and asked the son of the old leader to lead the way to arrest his family.
The tiger-like impact broke down the defenses in the city, and there was no point in resisting without effective organization, and more people thought of Jian Chen's nonsense under the city, and after knowing that the enemy was invincible, they thought of a way to make themselves feel at ease and not resist: Ji Xia really had a way to break the city in half a day, maybe he really didn't need to send people into the city to set fire to kill people? Then the new leader did not admit his mistake and instead shot arrows, which led to the siege of the Xia Chengren...... Isn't that also true? It seems to make some sense.
This if-based logic was established because if it became a reality, and the people of Xiacheng did not retaliate against their insults, but kept shouting almost the same words, and did not loot except to catch those who were still resisting.
They didn't want to suffer another explosion near the city wall, and with the propaganda and killing of the Xia Cheng people, many people followed the advice of the Xia Cheng people: go back to the house and come out again in the evening after calming down, if you encounter someone looting, you can directly find the son of the old chief, he is your kin, and will administer justice for you.
Only the propaganda of Xia Cheng to maintain order remained on the streets, and Jian Chen looked at the arrested people and asked the son of the old chief, "Is his family here?" ”
"It's all caught. And his relatives also caught a lot. ”
Chen Jianqian walked around, looked at the entourage of the leaders who resisted the most fiercely, and called a few people: "Take them to a room where no one is there and beat them." He was whipped with salted water, stabbed his shoulder blades with a knife, stabbed with a salted stick, scalded with red-hot bronze, pierced his nails with thorns, rolled up with sackcloth and dragged into his stomach. Ask them if anyone knows about arson. ”
A few soldiers trembled a little just thinking about these kinds of torture, and Chen Jian said: "Ask before dark, if the person is still alive, you two soldiers will share a fief and give thirty to the slaves, if you think you can't do it, I will change people to ask." ”
The soldiers hurriedly said: "There is no need to change people, they will definitely be able to ask." ”
"It's like telling a story. The time, place, people, tone of voice, whether they were smiling and letting them set fire to their own people, all have to be asked. I think he must have laughed and told them to set fire to his own people in order to achieve his goal of deceiving his people and killing us. ”
"We think so too, and he must have said it with a smile. This kind of person has no heart, and is as ferocious as a wolf. ”
The soldiers nodded their heads in agreement, and left with the stones in their mouths and their bodies trembling like earth.
The son of the old leader beside him was cold, and he saw Chen Jian turn around and smile and said, "Congratulations, you have saved your people from being deceived by bad people, and you have saved the people of the entire city, your father will be pleased." ”
After finishing speaking, with a smile, he patted the young man on the shoulder, and whispered in a serious and kind voice: "Be a good leader." (To be continued.) )
