The momentary setback did not stop the pace of the Tang army's offensive, and more people formed a formation and began to move forward. There are more than 10,000 people who launched the attack camp this time, and they are determined to win. It looks spectacular in this rugged and unopen area, and several hillsides are full of people as if the mountains were full of people, although it would not be spectacular if such a small number of people were gathered outside the big city in the plains.

The barbarians' long-range ordnance was so bad that there was no way to stop the Tang soldiers from approaching the city wall. They also carried a large wooden barrel and put it at the gate of the city, put it down and ran away. The brute didn't understand what to do with a wooden barrel there for a while, could it be that he wanted to cast a demon spell? But soon they understood.

I saw a long-range marksman light an arrow on the fire on the ground, and shot an arrow at the barrel with a "whoosh", hitting the target.

"Boom!" Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the earth was shaking. A bright flash of fire shot into the sky, scattering fragments of debris, followed by smoke billowing off the entire city wall.

Even Tang Bing's own people were surprised, and many people covered their ears with hindsight and stared ahead in amazement.

Everyone knows that gunpowder burns quite violently, and there is an alchemy Taoist priest who used gunpowder to "ambush the fire", and as a result, the roof collapsed; But people have never seen what a large barrel of gunpowder looks like when it explodes, and what is happening in front of them will shock everyone to a shock.

The other side of the city wall was completely in thick smoke, and the smoke did not disperse for a long time, and everyone did not know whether the city gate was blown up...... I think most of them can't withstand such a bombing.

The general who took the lead in preparing for the attack this time was Yang Meng, Yang Simao's godson, who was also a little stunned by the explosion. Someone next to him said: "I don't know when this smoke will dissipate, do you want to call the people in front of you to go over and see if the door is open?" ”

"Mother! Not to mention the door, I'm afraid that half of the people on the wall will be blown unconscious, so what are you waiting for? Yang Meng raised his axe and shouted, "Kill! Immediately rushed out.

The generals also shouted and advanced, and the vanguard began to advance towards the thick smoke. Yang Meng, who took the lead, managed a lot, and rushed in quickly with the pro-soldiers and horses.

Yang Meng was the first to rush to the city wall to take a look, where was there any burned city gate? The whole city wall is collapsed! The stone wall several battles high was even if it was stacked with stones, and it was directly collapsed into a pile of rocks after an explosion. There is also a hand stretched out in the stone pile that looks very strange, and it is estimated that there are many people buried in it after the wall falls.

The horses couldn't climb the rocks, so Yang Meng immediately turned over and jumped down, carrying two big axes and climbing up, and the soldiers also climbed up when they saw this. Yang Meng shouted as if a tiger was roaring, and then jumped into the stockade, but as soon as he touched the ground, he felt the softness on his feet and then let out a scream that cracked his lungs. It turned out that there was a person lying on the ground who was not yet dead, and Yang Meng's figure jumped down directly from a high place and stepped on someone's stomach, and the result can be imagined,, urine and blood were stepped on together.

Yang Meng led people to continue to rush in, and suddenly saw a group of people staying there in front of him. The brute soldiers who came to reinforce witnessed the explosion just now, they haven't learned what gunpowder is, how do they know what's going on? I was stupid at the moment and thought it was some kind of powerful witchcraft, everyone else used witchcraft, what else did mortals fight? They saw that Yang Meng, who was fierce and vicious, led people to rush over with murderous energy, and they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they couldn't escape, and they threw down all kinds of weapons, and fell to their knees and screamed.

A soldier next to him asked, "It's barbaric, what did you say?" ”

Yang Meng said: "It seems to be cursing us not to die well?" Isn't it? With that, he rushed up with the axe, and the right axe beckoned to the head of a barbarian with a "whirl", and with a "click", half of the head flew out, and the brains and flesh were splashed everywhere. The soldiers behind also rushed up, and followed Yang Mengxue into the crowd and slashed indiscriminately.

The brute soldiers who had put down their weapons were hurriedly picked up again. A brute soldier in front of Yang Meng with a face full of fear watched the axe fall from the sky, and hurriedly raised the hardwood spear in his hand with both hands to block, "Bang"! The spear broke in two without any suspense, and his two hands were half cut off and fell to the sides, and the blood, flesh, intestines, and intestines flowed all over the ground.

Where did the panicked people still have the heart to resist, they didn't even have the courage to surrender, people turned around and ran, and some of their legs were weak and stood there trembling waiting to be stabbed.

An escaping person was unfortunately chased by Yang Meng, and immediately received a violent kick on his back, and his body flew forward, "Ah! As soon as he came out, his mouth gnawed on the ground, and then when his body slid forward, his mouth gnawed a long series of "snort...... teeth were probably lost, and his face was ground into flesh and blood, like a zombie. Yang Meng was still not satisfied, so he chased after him and lifted him up, and with a vigorous flick of his hands, the man flew diagonally into the air like a flying bird, but when he fell, he fell like a sack and "slammed" and lost his breath.

After that, the infantry of the front team outside also came in, and they followed Yang Meng, the main general in charge of the attack, to kill people together, regardless of the resistance and did not resist, they cut down when they saw people, and it didn't matter whether they were soldiers or civilians because the clothes of those barbarians were no different from the civilians, and the Tang soldiers couldn't tell the difference at all.

After Yang Siqiao entered the village, Yang Meng, who was covered in blood, came up to report the military situation: "After the city wall collapsed, I rushed in with men and horses, and the barbarians didn't know the gunpowder and thought we were using demon methods, so they knelt on the ground together and chanted words to break my law." So I led my army to disperse, and they took up arms to resist, and countless people were killed. ”

Yang Siqiao looked at the corpses all over the ground, most of their bodies were facing away from the walled gate, and they were obviously slaughtered when they fled. He didn't say anything, only said: "Arrest the whole family of the owner of the village and behead it." Lower the list to calm the people, resist the king's master to be punished as rebellion, and it is forbidden to harass innocent people. ”

"Yes."

At this time, a civil official next to him reminded: "Yang Gong, Nanzhao is located south of the Six Zhaos, and there are few Han people in the surrounding area, so most of them don't know Chinese characters, and they can't even understand them; Most of the chiefs of the tribes can speak Chinese, and even if they can't, they have found people who can speak as friends. Let's kill the owner of the village, and no one will be able to convey Yang Gong's military order to the local people, but it will be unfavorable. ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Siqiao, the eunuch, actually said: "The barbarians don't know Chinese, is it our fault?" ”

Civil Official: "......"

The official thought about it and felt that he still had to fulfill his duties, so he couldn't help but persuade bitterly: "The Nanzhao people were originally more pro-Tang and had a good impression of the Han people. The imperial court ordered the Protectorate of Annam to punish the Southern Edict in order to maintain the authority of the Edict of the Son of Heaven in the Imperial Prefecture, so that those who were disloyal would not dare to defy the imperial court; The intention was never to grudge with the Nanzhao people. Yang Gong must not ignore it. ”

Yang Simao's tone eased a little, and he said kindly: "You don't know about military affairs, if you let the soldiers be restrained, the progress will be slow, how can you complete the imperial court's edict to capture and kill Pi Luog in just one month?" Don't worry about the Ming Duke, as long as the army is dispatched, the court will not blame the other subsections, and the barbarians will not dare to come nonsense...... If we can't win, no matter how good we are to others, it will be useless. ”

The civil official sighed, and saw that Yang Siqiao couldn't listen to it, and it was useless to say more, so he stopped talking.

Yang Siqiao then arrested the owner of the village and other slave owners who organized an armed resistance to the Tang Dynasty army, and punished them on the spot for the crime of great rebellion. Then they occupied the cottage and stationed their troops inside, waiting for reinforcements from the other five edicts to converge here.

They didn't value the Five Edicts that the allies thought that their combat strength was too weak to use, but they were waiting for the grain and grass that the Five Edicts would bring to support. Feeding the fighting side with war was the way for the Tang army to go out on an expedition, and if it wasn't for the urgency of time, what Yang Siqiao would have to do was to collect taxes from the local occupied areas.

Unexpectedly, his tyranny aroused the anger of the cottage barbarians, and after just two or three days of stationing, Tang soldiers were murdered every day, most of them taking advantage of the fact that some of them were left alone. Yang Siqiao and others were not familiar with the local situation, and even the slave owner was killed, and the murderer could not be found at all. In his rage, he made a rule: ten lives are worth one life. As long as one Tang soldier is killed, the ten barbarians within the nearest radius of the place where they were killed will die. On the same day, dozens of people were dragged to the open field and beheaded in public.

After waiting for a few days, reinforcements from several teams of Wuzhao finally came, bringing the grain and grass supplies requested by Yang Siqiao. Now he felt much more at ease, and the replenished grain and grass were enough to support the entire battle. But the accident happened again, and on the first night of the supply, it was attacked by the hostile remnants hidden in the stockade, and those people took advantage of the unprepared Tang soldiers to attack and burn more than half of the grain and grass.

Yang Siqiao made meritorious contributions and wanted to complete Princess Taiping's goal in order to wash away the stain of his position, but he was unhappy to be found many times, and he was furious and threatened to break the perpetrator's corpse into ten thousand pieces! But I still can't find where the opponent is hiding...... So the residents of the cottage were driven out of their homes and used extremely bad methods to find people who burned grain and grass. He was furious and said, "The remnants of the traitors must be hidden among the barbarians, show them to me!" Otherwise, the shielder is guilty of the same crime! ”

The barbarians who were driven into the valley didn't even understand Yang Siqiao's words, let alone pointing out the traitors. Fortunately, the six edicts were closely related, and all tribes were of the same caste, and some of the barbarian reinforcements were fluent in Chinese and various barbarian languages, so they translated Yang Siqiao's words to the barbarians.

But there is still no one in the crowd who stands up to point out, I'm afraid it's difficult for anyone to do this, and it's not clear what to do when betraying the Tang Ting in the far north compared to betraying the clansmen? Yang Siqiao shouted angrily: "I'd rather kill by mistake than spare!" If you can't find any traitors, you will be put to death! ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed suddenly.
