Chapter 260: The Price of Blood

Miao Shanggao took the old and young out of the yamen, and went straight to the west gate.

Before he had gone far, he heard shouts from behind: "The city is broken, the city is broken." ”

When Miao Shanggao heard this, he was immediately anxious, left his daughter, and ran to the west gate.

Seeing this, the female dependents in the back couldn't help crying.

Miao Yanei saw that his father ran forward without looking back, and he gritted his teeth and prepared to leave his mother and wife behind.

On the side, Miao Yanei's wife saw her father-in-law running away, so she looked at Miao Yanei, seeing that he was about to run, she hurriedly grabbed Miao Yanei's sleeve and begged: "Don't leave me, officials." ”

Miao Yanei struggled hard, shook off his wife, and ran away.

It is the husband and wife who are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes.

Ximen was a thief patrol guard, and when he saw Miao Shanggao and Miao Yanei running over, he hurriedly caught up.

Miao Shanggao said: "The south gate is broken, quickly escort me to escape." ”

The inspector had also faintly heard that Nancheng was in chaos, and gritted his teeth and said: "For today's plan, I can only rush out desperately." ”

Chi Sun Li, the sick lieutenant, heard the shouts of killing in the south, and when he regretted that he could not make meritorious contributions, he saw the west gate wide open, and a team of soldiers escorted the Miao family father and son out.

"Sun Li is here, where is the dog official."

When Sun Li saw Miao Shanggao wearing an official uniform, he was immediately overjoyed, shouted violently, and took Miao Shanggao with a gun.

Seeing this, Miao Shanggao hurriedly inspected the side and said, "General help." ”

The patrol was bold and came to welcome Sun Li.

Sun Li saw that Miao Shanggao's father and son took the opportunity to hit the horse and run to the side, and the steel gun in his hand was castrated a little faster, and he picked the inspection off the horse with one shot. He put the gun on the ring, took off the bow and arrows, and shot down all the horses of the Miao family's father and son.

The father and son of the Miao family fell to the ground, and before they could struggle, they were rushed up and taken by the Liang soldiers.

Sun Li escorted the father and son of the Miao family into the city, and ran into Shi Wengong, who was chasing after him alone.

Shi Wengong went straight to the yamen after entering the city. Miao Shanggao, who asked, fled to the west gate, so he chased after him, and saw that the father and son of the Miao family were held by Sun Li, so he had to hug his fists and say: "Congratulations to General Sun for his meritorious service." ”

Sun Li returned the salute with his fists and said, "Luck, luck, I didn't expect this dog official to hit my hands." It seems that General Shi was the first to break through the city, right? ”

Shi Wengong smiled: "Kill that Yao Gang, and rush in." ”

The two came to the yamen with a smile, and saw that Chao Yong had also led his troops to sit in the yamen. He escorted the father and son of the Miao family to the lobby.

Miao Shanggao's father and son knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged: "I am willing to return to Daliang, smear the liver and brain of King Liang, and beg the general to spare my life." ”

Chao Yong shouted: "You corrupt official, what do I want you to do, and you will be executed later." ”

When Miao Shanggao's father and son heard this, they immediately collapsed on the ground in fright.

Sun Li commanded the pro-army to drag the two down.

Chao Yong was asking people to count the money, grain, and weapons of Dongping Mansion. But I saw that Li Ying brought a shy flower, and sure enough, he had the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, a sinking fish and a goose, and he was worthy of the name of a shy flower.

At this time, it is pear blossoms with rain, and it is I who see pity.

Li Ying took the shy flowers to the lobby. Then he said to his niece: "The one in the hall is my Prince Liang, and I am ashamed to thank you for saving your life." ”

Chao Yong's eyes lit up when he saw Li Xihua, and he hurriedly said: "No, no need to be polite." ”

Shy glanced at Chao Yong. Ying Ying Yifu said: "Thank you for the prince's life-saving grace." ”

Chao Yong listened to the voice of the shy flower, and half of his body was full, and he hurriedly said: "No need to be polite." ”

Shame up. But he stood behind Li Ying with a sad face, just crying.

Seeing this, Chao Yong wondered: "Didn't General Li go to the cell to save your brother?" ”

Li Ying shook his head and said: "We are late, after Miao Shanggao, the dog official, arrested my brother, he wanted to bend into a trick and let my brother be charged with fornicating with Liangshan." My brother was weak and had been beaten to death in prison by them. ”

Chao Yong slapped his palm on the table and scolded: "Dog officer, not killing is not enough to vent your hatred." ”

Li Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Please also ask the prince to allow me to execute with my own hands to avenge my brother." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, Dongping Mansion will be temporarily defended by you, and later I will lead a large army north to attack Qizhou." ”

Li Ying also wanted to avenge his brother, so he took over the errand.

Chao Yong was very sad when he saw the shy flower, and couldn't help but say: "People can't be resurrected after death, and the shy flower girl mourns." ”

Shame Hua choked up and replied to Chao Yong, but she couldn't hold back her tears for a while.

Chao Yong couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw it, so he had to say: "General Li, there is nothing to do here, so you can take the shy flower girl down to rest first." ”

Li Ying went down with the shy flowers, and Chao Yong reluctantly retracted his gaze.

Soon, the money and grain in Dongping Mansion were also counted.

Chao Yong let the army replenish five days of grain and grass, and then led the troops to Qizhou.

Originally, Chao Yong wanted to use the siege to rectify military discipline, but he didn't expect that after the army arrived in Qizhou, the governor of Qizhou actually abandoned the city and fled, and the army easily got a city, but the purpose of Chao Yong's training was not achieved.

Chao Yong left Hao Siwen to garrison Qizhou with 1,000 soldiers and horses, and then led troops to Binzhou.

Outside Binzhou City

Chao Yong looked at the dense officers and soldiers at the head of the city and couldn't help laughing.

Lin Chong gave an order, and hundreds of trench filling trucks headed for the moat outside the city.

The archers had no choice but to fill the trench trucks, and the officers and soldiers defending the city could only rely on a few stone throwers to attack the trench trucks, but the Binzhou gunners obviously did not have the level of thunder and thunder, and until the moat was filled, they only smashed five or six trench trucks.

Li Kui watched the moat fill in, so he rushed forward and said, "Prince, let me lead the group of players to grab this city." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "You rest, I already have a plan." Lin Chong, you led your headquarters to attack the city, and you must not retreat without my order. Those who retreat without permission will be killed. ”

The last killing word was spit out, and everyone felt the killing intent on Chao Yong's body.

Lin Chong understood, led a newly reorganized army of 10,000 into battle, conveyed the prince's general's order, and then ordered a thousand-man team to attack the city.

The commander was also a newly surrendered general of the forbidden army, and when he got the general's order, he didn't dare to slack off, so he commanded a thousand soldiers to rush under the city wall with a cloud ladder.

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

The forbidden army under the city has not yet obtained the Liang military uniform, and is still wearing the scarlet armor of the Song Dynasty, just to distinguish it from the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and wrap a black cloth around their arms.

The archers at the head of the city did not show mercy to the people under the city because they were wearing the same armor, and when they saw that they were within range, they unleashed their bows and arrows.

Ten thousand arrows were fired, and the whole sky was darkened.

The arrow fell, and a scream rang out instantly. Many of the soldiers fell under the arrows, but they continued to charge forward due to the discipline of the Great Liang.

By the time they arrived at the city wall, more than half of the 1,000 soldiers had already suffered casualties.

The rest of the soldiers leaned the ladder against the city wall and climbed up.

"Ahh

A soldier had barely climbed halfway to the middle when he was hit on the head by a stone the size of an iron pot, screamed and fell to the ground.

A soldier next to him climbed halfway to the middle, but found that the ladder had suddenly fallen backwards, and looked up. But it was the guards at the head of the city who pushed the ladder back with a push rod.

If you fall on your back, you will definitely lose your life.

As soon as the soldier weighed it, he could only grit his teeth and jump from a height of nearly two feet, although he did not fall to his death, but he broke his leg and screamed where he fell.

However, in a short time, hundreds of people who rushed to the city were killed and wounded.

Lin Chong then ordered a team of 1,000 people to rush forward.

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

This time they didn't have to carry the ladder, but there were more people who avoided the rain of arrows.

And when they came to the bottom of the city, they erected ladders that had been overturned. struggled to climb up, but still could not resist the condescending officers and soldiers.

Only one soldier climbed to the top of the ladder, but his body was high above the wall, and a guard next to him jumped up. With a single slash, his head fell to the bottom of the city, leaving only his body still climbing on the ladder.

Lin Chong saw that the second thousand-man team was still unable to make contributions, so he waved his hand and let the third thousand-man team rush forward.

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

The shouts of the third thousand-man team seemed to be a little louder than the first two thousand-man teams. But if you look closely, you can hear that many of these voices are trembling, and it is clear that they are just emboldening themselves.

The archers defending the city fired their bows several times in a row. By the time they reached the third thousand-man team, there were significantly fewer arrows that fell, and there were more soldiers who rushed to the city walls.

But after more than half of the dead and wounded, no one still made it to the top of the city.

A soldier holding the ladder listened to the wails of the wounded soldiers under the city, and like dumplings on the ladder, the living people who "pounced" and "pounced" fell to death or crippled, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, screamed, ignored it, and fled backwards.

These soldiers of the forbidden army were accustomed to running away, and when they saw one person running away, someone immediately followed, and soon all the soldiers in the city who could still run fled backwards.

The archers at the head of the city also needed to rest, but they did not release arrows from their backs.

Li Kui saw it after the battle, and couldn't help but say angrily: "It's a fucking shame, these eggless bastards are all ashamed of us." Prince, let me lead the troops. ”

Chao Yong said to Dong Ping on the side: "Lead your cavalry to stop them, and all those who flee and come back will be killed." ”

When Dong Ping heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Chao Yong said in a deep voice: "Kill them all, do you want me to say it again?" ”

Dong Ping saw that Chao Yong had never been serious, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and led a thousand horse troops to bypass Lin Chong's soldiers and horses to kill the soldiers and horses who fled back.

Lu Junyi glanced at the rout, and couldn't bear to say: "Prince, I'm afraid there are no less than three hundred of those routs." ”

Chao Yong said: "What I am waiting for is this moment, don't say three hundred, even if the seven thousand people in front of me fled, I will also order them all to be killed." ”

After all, Lu Junyi was only from a big family, and when he heard Chao Yong's words full of murderous intent, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

Hu Yanzhuo next to him nodded and said: "The prince is right, these forbidden soldiers have become ruffians, and they can't be afraid of military discipline alone, only the price of blood can make them remember what military discipline is." If you are merciful, I am afraid that there will be more casualties in the future. ”

Li Kui said happily: "I said that it would be useless to ask them, prince, these 7,000 people will be handed over to me, and I just want to kill them." (To be continued.) )
