Chapter 232: A Soldier's War
"It's true that the War King hasn't sent troops now, but it's only a matter of time before he does." Mo Chuanxiang still knows very well what kind of person Li Yun is, even more clearly than Tang Sha.
"Is there anything wrong with Cisse?" Tang Sha continued to ask.
"Cisse's side is still quite stable, but General Yida is also worried about the king of war now, so he didn't send troops in time."
Tang Sha was not involved in this matter. I don't know much about the situation, but Tang Sha inexplicably believes that Ye Xuanyuan has his own way of dealing with it.
He may have been planning a year ago, and judging from the current situation, Xie Chuan Yechen's side is also the best plan.
Let's hope that's the worst of the worst, or something more, and it's really over.
β¦β¦
Compared with the stability and harmony of the south, the north is now a scorched earth.
The location that was originally located between the North Fortress and the Imperial City was stretched by the flames of war.
The location of the imperial city is close to the mountain on one side and north on three sides.
However, to the north of the Imperial City, there was a wall built specifically to protect the Imperial City.
In addition, each city in the north also has its own defense capabilities.
Although Li Yun's attack came quickly, it did not cause the imperial city to fall all at once.
Li Yun's first attack was actually not large-scale, but he took a city first.
He's just reminding others that he's going to rebel, is he ready?
After this provocative act of Li Yun, the imperial city quickly formed a second side fortress on the city wall.
Li Yun's naked ridicule made everyone tremble. Especially those who have sinned against Li Yun, and those who know Li Yun.
They understood how terrible Li Yun really was.
After the failure to renew the alliance between Chen and Beiqi a year ago, Beiqi began to restrict the entry of Chen Guoren to some extent.
Chen Guo's businessmen also gradually reduced their communication with Beiqi. The attitude of the imperial court actually determines the attitude of the people.
Until half a month ago, the city where the two countries meet was sealed overnight, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The Chen people on the Beiqi side can't come back, and the Beiqi people here can't go back.
The people of the city began to get restless because it all came so suddenly that they had no idea what was going on.
Some people with bad tempers incited others to make trouble at the gates. As a result, it was directly suppressed by force, and several people died.
The trick of killing chickens and monkeys works at all times, unless people have lost the fear of death.
The killer was a group of officers and soldiers, and the northernmost Glacier City knew this group of people in military uniforms. They were the patron saints they once thought of.
But now the patronus actually kicked the head under their feet, raised the knife dripping with blood, and looked at them viciously.
"From now on, all of you are our hostages, and those who are disobedient will be killed."
It was then that they learned that this group of Patronus Spirits, who usually looked expressionless, could also become evil killers.
Many people died in Glacier City that day, even the streets were dyed red, the gates were closed, and no one ran out.
The people of Glacier City shivered and hid among their parents, and the dead family members hugged each other and cried, not daring to cry loudly.
The whole family was safe, and no one spoke.
They can't escape, they can only listen to them.
There were really too many people dying in Glacier City that day. Those who died either didn't believe that Li Yun dared to rebel, or they felt that as long as they resisted, this group of people would be afraid and felt that they were not so easy to bully.
There were also some scholars who were there to talk to the rebels about their big truths.
Of course, more of them are the original army in the city.
The more the rebels killed, the happier they became, and in the end, even some innocent people became dead souls.
It was hot, and the bodies were transported out of the city and buried in the suburbs.
The rebels knew that in such weather, if the corpses were not properly disposed of, they could cause an epidemic.
So they also have specialized pharmacists.
Only the stubborn Taishou in Glacier City was beheaded and tied to the city walls, under the scorching sun.
The smell of blood permeated the city. The city that was originally peaceful turned from heaven to hell in one day.
Death...... Fear...... Screaming...... Cry......
On that day, Glacier City was the first city to be controlled, and then immediately afterwards, there was the White Moon City and Qicheng along the northern route.
These cities were silently controlled, and then they began to attack directly south that night.
The countryside between the cities was swept away, and all those who resisted were slaughtered.
In this way, for half a month, the rebels were unstoppable all the way, until they reached Yancheng and were blocked.
Yancheng has sufficient troops, and the terrain is difficult to attack. When the rebels attacked the first wave and lost 30% of the troops sent at that time, they began to retreat and stationed not far from Liyan City.
"They're looking for death!" A middle-aged man stood on the city wall, looking at the sparks in the distance, furious.
"The garrison didn't want to follow their way, they dared to be stationed there with such a swagger, it means that they have been prepared, don't be impulsive, and open the city gate." A man in a long robe persuaded by the side.
Another man in Tsing Yi next to him didn't seem to agree with the man in the long shirt, and said, "They have suffered heavy losses today, if it weren't for our enemies, why should they evacuate." I think they're waiting for help. And the reason why they dare to do this must be to make us think that they have nothing to fear. Garrisoned, subordinates think that it is time to take advantage of the victory to pursue. β
The man in the long shirt laughed when he heard the man in green clothes.
The man in Tsing Yi was a military advisor who was recruited to Yancheng, and so was the man in the long shirt. During this year, the imperial court widely began to gather talented people among the people, and then arranged them in various places.
Both of them were arranged to be here. At first, I didn't understand why there were General Li guards in the north, and I needed to arrange them to this place.
Now they understand that this is the case, and their talents are naturally full of excitement when they have a place to use them.
The so-called heroes come out of troubled times, and those who rely on their own talents want to become heroes in this troubled times.
So they all have their own pride in their hearts.
"What are you laughing at? Do you have any better ideas? The man in Tsing Yi looked a little unhappy, he had always been unpleasant to see this man in a long shirt.
"Laugh at you for being naΓ―ve." The man in the long robe smiled, and then continued: "My father fought under Li Yun for a long time, and he knows Li Yun very well. To be honest, I still have doubts about my father's evaluation of Li Yun. Because the Li Yun in his mouth can be said to be miraculous.
My father told me that Li Yun would never fight a battle for which he was not prepared. And Li Yun would never gamble with the life of a person in front of him. So those people are very loyal to Li Yun. It's just that I didn't expect that Li Yun would actually ...... Rebellion. β
"But today in the army, I didn't see Li Yun, which means that this army is not personally guided by Li Yun, and I can't look at this person with the same eyes as Li Yun. If you hear that the other party is powerful, you will have fear and words, and you will already lose to others in terms of momentum, and there is no way to fight the battle. The man in Tsing Yi argued.
The man in the long shirt naturally didn't want to back down: "What you said has some truth, but Li Yun doesn't have a single waste wood under him, and the people who can be sent out by Li Yun must have some real skills." Let's assume first, if we go out now, if the other party really has an ambush, then we may be wiped out directly. Don't forget, Li Yun has an army of 800,000 in his hands.
If we don't go out, we can ask for help from the Imperial City, and the reinforcements over there are probably coming from Yancheng.
Even if their reinforcements arrived, they couldn't help us for a while. There is plenty of food and grass in the city, and we are actually a more conservative way to do this, and there is no need to take risks. β
"But there is always ...... grain and grass"
"Shut up!" The guard listened to the two of them arguing here, and felt that his head was about to explode, so he impatiently stopped the two.
The two of them stopped talking for an instant, and in the end, all this needs to be decided by this guard.
"Send someone to find out what is true and what is true, and then decide. You are guessing like that...... Still too young. The garrison shook his head, anyone can talk on paper, but now is not the time for them to confirm whose conjecture is right. It's war now, and if you're not careful, you'll be bleeding.
In fact, according to this order, if the garrison is more inclined to the man in the long robe, Li Yun is unpredictable, and it is always not wrong to be obscene.
In fact, siege is usually the first siege. However, Yancheng began to receive secret orders from the imperial city a long time ago and began to hoard food.
When the drought struck, some food came out, but the rest was enough for them to eat for a long time.
Now it's a matter of being more patient than anyone. The rebels' positions were relatively empty, so the grain and grass were all exposed to sight.
As long as people go out and spoil each other's food and grass, it's fine.
The garrison thought so, so they sent spies to the other side to find out the situation.
However, I didn't see him back until the next morning. The guard knew that the person might not be able to come back.
The people who can be spies are specially trained, so the first moment the spy was caught, he directly bit through the poison bag hidden in the air and died violently.
In the open area, although they could see the other side, they could also clearly see the situation around them on the other side.
Difficult to invade......
So several people were sent out in a row, but they didn't come back. Even those who went to the surrounding area to inquire did not come back.
This was telling the guards that everyone he sent out would know where to go.
The garrison felt a kind of fear. What kind of people can lead such a terrible army?
In terms of combat effectiveness, if Yancheng did not have a geographical advantage at that time, there would be a huge disparity between the opponent's individual forces.
They lost three percent, and their own side also lost two layers, which shows the terrible nature of the other party.
β¦β¦
He was a very ordinary rebel, and he was an ordinary soldier under Li Yun.
Originally, it was because his family was poor, and it didn't matter, he had no status, so he had no way to join the army.
There was also a monthly salary in the barracks, and the money sent back was enough for his mother and relatives to live well.
It's bitter, he can't go back to see his mother. Since he was a child, he has followed his mother, and his mother raised him alone, which is very hard.
He has always looked forward to the day when he can become a general, and then let his mother live a better life.
The world is peaceful, so he doesn't have that chance. He was in the barracks every day in addition to training and training. There is no strength.
However, even if there was no war, the general's training of them was extremely strict, and it was not uncommon for them to break their muscles and bones.
He has been in the barracks for many years, and in all these years, he has not killed a single person.
He didn't understand what it was like to kill someone, but he was thinking that if one day, an enemy really came to invade his home country, and he was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of his mother.
The general said that all great deeds must be piled up little by little with flesh and blood.
In the barracks, life was lived day after day, year after year. I thought it might be like this for the rest of my life. But in the long course of time, anything can happen.
You never know which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.
On that day, the superiors asked them all to assemble and then told them that they could do a great thing now.
The duty of a soldier has always been to follow orders. The people who gave birth to General Li are also General Li's ghosts when they die.
originally thought that they were going to go on an expedition and set foot in the north.
Behold...... The superiors told them that they would set foot in the Chen Kingdom.
How can this be? Their families are all in Chen...... How can this be?
He didn't jump out, although his heart was full of shock, but he didn't go out of his way.
If he is not right, naturally someone will. The man asked directly. Disobedience to orders from superiors.
Of course, if General Li is like this, who will die for him? Kill the chickens and make an example of them, and then tell them that they will never touch their families, and they can also take them into their sphere of influence.
They were given double their salaries every month, and they shared the money they received from other cities.
What tempting conditions, everyone began to start their own thoughts.
Human desires are endless, and few people can resist the temptation in the face of interests.
Since they are all under Li Yun now, they just follow orders.
So that day in Glacier City, he killed the first man. This man is not an enemy of his own imagination, but his own compatriots.
Perhaps, after killing that person, he will no longer be their compatriot.
He heard someone calling him a devil, and yes he felt like a devil too.
The feeling of killing was painful, watching the man look at him with pleading eyes, watching the man fall with frightened eyes, he crouched directly in a corner and vomited.
His hands trembled, and he no longer had the strength to pick up a knife.
