Chapter 608: Cruelty
A new day in Hedong City began, and the city walls were already full of soldiers, Su Dingfang held a long lance in his hand, and said loudly: "Brothers, behind is our home, our relatives are inside, who is on the other side, it is the Turks, it is the brutal Turks, once they invade the city, our relatives will be killed by them, and our wives and daughters will be raped by them, do you promise?" ”
"No." A voice rang out in the crowd, and soon millions of voices rang out.
"Today, they will use even more despicable means to attack us, in order to defend our Hedong City, to protect our relatives, we have to fight bloodily, and everything that dares to attack the city is our enemy." Su Dingfang roared loudly.
"Bloody battle, sworn to kill the enemy." Duan Decao's old voice sounded in the sky above Hedong City.
"Bloody battle, sworn to kill the enemy." The three armies roared with rage, and their morale reached its peak. Su Dingfang looked out of the city with satisfaction, and there was a worried look between his eyebrows, in fact, his heart was not as relaxed as he imagined.
"The Han people are not as cowardly as they imagined." In the camp in the distance, Qi Qi He Li whispered.
"No matter what, we have to win this war, otherwise, we will die here." Ashnasimo said with some concern: "I haven't received a letter from the Khan for a long time, and I'm a little worried. ”
"What are you worried about? Li Zhao? They don't have the guts to fight us. Qi Bi He Li said indifferently: "The Khan's army is not far from Taiyuan, if Li Yuan dares to attack us, the Khan will not let them go." ”
"So what are you waiting for, attack." Ashina Simo laughed, and instantly saw thousands of Han people being driven by countless soldiers, these Han people were either holding long knives or spears in their hands, and their weapons were very rudimentary. There was not even a single thing to cover, and his face was full of despair, and he was driven by the soldiers behind him, and slowly killed towards Hedong City.
"I'd like to see how Su Dingfang treats his compatriots." He Li showed a cruel smile on his face, for him, everything in front of him is an enemy, the Han people should be killed, they should be ruled, if they can conquer the city in front of them, it is worth the Han people who die.
"Here they are." Duan Decao's face turned red. There was anger and regret in his eyes, not only because of the ferocity and cruelty of these Turks, but also because of these Han people, when the Turks came to invade Hedong, Su Dingfang specially ordered the soldiers to help the Han people relocate, but some of them not only did not relocate, but also beat the soldiers, thinking that those Turks would just occupy the city, and they would just obey their orders. The Turks will not attack themselves, and they will stubbornly hold on to their own one-third of an acre of land, but they will not move, and now these people will become a burden on Hedong City. The Turks took these people as the forerunner and attempted to invade the city of Hedong.
It must be said that this is the saddest place for the Han people, facing jackals. I don't even have the heart to resist, the army is passive, if I can't fight back effectively. There is a real possibility that Hedong City will be breached by these Turks. He looked at Su Dingfang with some concern, after all, there would be many risks in giving this order.
"Attack." In the distance, he Li has ordered people to beat the war drums, the drums are rumbling, and countless Han people are slowly approaching, there are men and women, old and young, some are dressed in green clothes, and some people are dressed in brocade clothes, and the clothes on their bodies are different, all representing the different identities and status of each person.
There was silence on the city wall, some of these soldiers had red eyes, some of their bodies trembled, and the crowd in front of them were mostly their own compatriots, and some were still their relatives, who were now being persecuted by the Turks, acting as the vanguard of the Turkic soldiers, and were killing towards Hedong City.
"Archer, prepare." Suddenly, Su Dingfang's voice sounded in the city.
Those soldiers subconsciously stretched their bows and arrows, aimed at the city, waiting for Su Dingfang's order, some soldiers were already in tears, and some of them had trembling hands, this is shooting their own compatriots, this feeling is really uncomfortable.
"Shoot the arrows." At last an order was given, cold and ruthless, the whole city was full of this kind of sound, a loud roar came, the bows and arrows flew on the city, and fell down the city together, smashing into those people, but these people had no defense, and they were all killed by bows and arrows, and let out a burst of screams.
The people under the city were also in a panic, they didn't expect that Su Dingfang really ordered people to release arrows, there was no compatriotism at all, but a burst of chaos was quickly stopped by the Turks behind him, and after a burst of leather whips and knives and guns, these people moved towards the city wall again.
"Archer, prepare, release the arrows." Su Dingfang's cold voice came again, the archer shot the sharp arrow in his hand again, the sharp arrow roared, and once again took the lives of hundreds of people, the city was in chaos, and the crying and shouting shook the sky, at this time, these ordinary people were finally afraid, and some of them were angry.
"Why did you shoot me? Doesn't Li Xin love the people like a son? Why are you cumming me? A middle-aged man in brocade clothes with an obese figure roared loudly, and some people in Tsing Yi around him also made noise. At a glance, you can see that a landlord is strong.
Because of his leadership, the rest of the common people also clamored and marched, their words were full of anger, and they kept insulting Li Xin's name, and the soldiers at the head of the city suddenly showed a trace of hesitation.
"Do you want to disobey my orders? If the Turks break through the city, the entire city of Hedong will fall into the hands of the enemy, and your relatives will be killed and captured by the Turks! Su Dingfang pointed to these people under the city and said loudly: "This general has repeatedly ordered all the people in Hedong to withdraw from Hedong and go to Guanzhong, or hide in the mountains, how did these people come out?" I think they no longer want to be the subjects of the empire, what they want is to be the slaves of the Turks, such people are rebellious, how should we choose in the face of rebellion? The generals of the three armies, listen to my orders, open their bows and arrows, and release their arrows. ”
Su Dingfang's words obviously played a role, the soldiers of the army under Li Xin were all strictly trained and paid well, even those families who participated in the army were also treated preferentially, Su Dingfang's order, the families of the soldiers carried it out one after another, or entered Hedong City, or went to Guanzhong, or hid in the mountains, like this naively thought that the Turks would not violate their own very few.
"Shoot the arrows."
The bow and arrows on the head of the city rained down, enveloping the entire Hedong City, there were bursts of screams under the city, and soon, I saw thousands of corpses lying under the city, some were Han people, some people were Turks, and he would not let the Han people attack first, there were still a lot of Turkic people mixed in it, thinking about it was to catch Su Dingfang off guard, in the end, his plan failed, Su Dingfang risked losing his official position, and did not hesitate to order people to release arrows, whether it was Han or Turkic, An indiscriminate blow came.
"It's a pity." Qi Qi He Li looked at the tall city wall in the distance and said with a slight sigh. Although there is some regret in the words, but I don't take it to heart, although some people died, but most of them were Han people, and these Han people died that is, they died, and they didn't need to be taken to heart at all.
"Hmph, I'll arrest some Han people again, I don't believe that this Su Dingfang's heart is made of iron, and he actually shot so many Han people, even if he is willing, I'm afraid those Han people will not be willing." Ashina Simo said with some annoyance. This action was presided over by him, but now it has not played any role, and I am still very depressed in my heart.
"I'm afraid some people won't allow us to go on like this." Qi Qi He Li sighed in a low voice.
"What did you find?" Ashnasimo whispered, "Are you trying to attack? Or do you want to go back to Hebei? We've had a lot of brothers die these days. Hedong must be captured. ”
"Li Shimin." He Li snorted coldly and said, "You haven't noticed that in the past few days, we have less and less food and grass, but there are more and more wines. Li Shimin is very good to us, using us to destroy Hedong, now our grain and grass are in the hands of the other party, we can only go to war, otherwise, we will all starve to death, and even the thorny thing is not Li Xin's doing, but Li Shimin sent people to do it, in order to let us and Li Xin both lose. ”
"How do you know?" Ashina Simo looked at Qi Qi He Li curiously.
"Li Xin sent someone to tell me." He Li took out a note in his hand, handed it to Ashina Simo, and said: "I heard that Li Xin has a powerful intelligence organization in his hands, called Jinyiwei, he is pervasive, and now I finally know that even our camp can be easily entered." Look, even the news got to me. ”
"You trust him?" Ashina Simo said dissatisfiedly: "Since you know the news, why did you let the soldiers attack Hedong just now?" ”
"If you don't try, how do you know that you can't capture Hedong with that move?" Qi Bi He Li said indifferently: "What's more, this Li Xin is not a good thing, spreading this news to us is not for us, but for Hedong, so that we and Li Zhao will both lose, it is not a good thing." ”
"Hmph, these Han people are not good things." Ashina Simo also reacted, and said coldly: "What do you want to do now?" Isn't that a good place to attack the Bird Valley? Or just get out of here? ”
"If we get rid of attacking Hedong, there will be no way, but before that, we must tell the Great Khan about the situation here, otherwise, even if we capture Hedong, Li Shimin probably won't let us leave, because we have already been familiar with the tactics of the Central Plains people and learned a lot of siege skills. Whether it is Li Shimin or Li Xin, they will not let us leave. He Li gritted his teeth and said. (To be continued......)
