Chapter 68: The Tang Changshan Army
Chapter 68: The Tang Changshan Army
"Pilot!"
Walking in front of the city gate, I saw the wreckage of the siege battle, thousands of corpses lying outside Leping City forever, with unwilling eyes, all around was a miserable red, and there were bloodstained weapons everywhere.
"Dismount!"
Li Tang said solemnly, hundreds of blood-clothed guards behind him dismounted in unison, bowed deeply to the battlefield, and then led the horses all the way to the city.
His various behaviors fell in the eyes of the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield, and a trace of relief and relief emerged, and his loyalty to Li Tang greatly increased.
"The rulers all say that war is an art and must be faced with a wise attitude, but what they don't know, the so-called art, is just the killing of the Yellow Spring under the blue sky, the Shura world stained with bloody blood, and the tragedy of countless people breaking their hearts and souls!"
"Tragedy cannot be avoided, but I will try to be strong and reduce the number of participants in the tragedy!"
Li Tang thought in his heart, more and more eager for strong strength, if there were a few martial kings who broke through Leping City, they would not die a single soldier, and they would take the city without blood.
It's just a pity that he started late!
After entering the city, Li Tang remounted his horse and quickly rushed to the city lord's mansion, and saw that Zhao Yun had been waiting for a long time, and the streets were full of Changshan troops, staring at the hundreds of people kneeling at the city gate.
"See the lord!"
Ten thousand people shouted, knelt down in unison, the sound was deafening, resounding in the sky, looking at Li Tang with a fanatical gaze, under the leadership of the man in front of them, their Tang army was invincible and invincible.
"Soldiers, heroes of the Tang Dynasty, hurry up and judge the enemy leader with me!"
Li Tang's heart shook, with the followers of these loyal soldiers, why worry about the great cause!
Hearing Li Tang's words, all the soldiers were stunned, and let ordinary soldiers judge the enemy's head, which is very rare in the Continent of All Nations, but soon sporadic voices sounded, and finally formed a overwhelming call:
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The exclamation of the boiling killing intent made the body of the prisoner kneeling in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion tremble, his face was like ashes, and he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, begging for forgiveness.
"Spare your life!"
"Spare your life!"
Li Tang's hands pressed down slightly, and the sound of boiling killing intent immediately disappeared, it was very quiet, and only the sound of a hundred captives wailing and begging for mercy sounded in the sky.
"If I don't kill you, let me face the thousands of heroes who died, let you go, how can I have the face to go back to see the fathers and villagers in Qingtian. ”
Li Tang scolded sharply, his tone full of unquestionable.
"My lord, spare my life, according to the custom, I am willing to pay the ransom!"
"Yes, my lord, as long as I return home safely, I will immediately hand over ten thousand taels of gold. ”
“............”
In the Continent of All Nations, there are two possibilities for treating prisoners, one is to kill, and the other is to pay a ransom, after hearing the sky-high ransom, many soldiers of the Changshan Army looked dark, thinking that Li Tang would let these prisoners go, just a thousand lives, there are ten thousand gold valuable.
Li Tang saw all this in his eyes, did not speak, he wanted to take practical actions to fulfill his promise:
"Yes, I was amazed at how rich everyone was. ”
When the kneeling captives heard this, a smile appeared on their faces, in this world, money is really omnipotent, but Li Tang's next words made them shiver:
"Changshan Army listens to the order, the life of the Tang Dynasty soldiers is heavier than ten thousand gold, those who kill my Datang soldiers, there is no forgiveness for killing, the people kneeling at the gate of the city lord's mansion, behead them, and the family copies them, in order to comfort the souls of the soldiers who died in battle, and all counties post notices to show the world!"
"My Tang soldier's life is heavier than ten thousand gold!" This sentence reached the ears of Changshan Jun, making the souls of all soldiers tremble, and a wave of gratitude came from their hearts, and from this sentence, they felt respect.
"Long live the lord!"
"Long live the lord!"
"Long live the lord!"
Long live is an honorific title for the emperor and sage, meaning eternal existence, but at this time, Chang Shanjun called Li Tang long live, which shows his status in the hearts of soldiers.
Sometimes, a look, an action, a word, will leave a deep impression and change a person's image, and Li Tang's respect for soldiers has won the loyalty of tens of thousands of soldiers.
"Your Excellency, spare your life! If you let us go, you will gain the loyalty of your clan!"
"Li Tang, killing us is to be the enemy of tens of millions of clans, it is a tyrant's behavior, do you dare?"
"That is, Li Tang, let us go quickly, otherwise we will be hostile to tens of millions of clans, and it will be difficult to develop in the future. ”
Seeing that the plea could not be achieved, many clans actually made threats, and the arrogant tone made it seem that Li Tang was the prisoner, and they were the judges.
"I'd rather use ten thousand people than a single sinner!" Zhao Yun, don't do it yet!"
After Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately walked in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with the soldiers, so that behind each captive there were soldiers, holding machetes in their hands, emitting an icy light, scaring many timid captives, very embarrassed.
"Yes!"
After Zhao Yun clenched his hands into fists, he held the machete in his hand to the sky, and under the sunlight, it emitted a dazzling white glow.
"Brush!"
The knife fell in hand, in the sound of crying and begging for threats, the white knives went in and the red knives came out, and the heads left the body, spurting out streams of blood, staining the red and white steps, and the bloody environment made the soldiers more excited, and the shouts were more intense, spreading throughout Leping City.
In the respectful shouts of the soldiers, Li Tang was like an emperor, crossing the bloody road, walking to the steps of the City Lord's Mansion, and shouted loudly:
"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, remember that our banner is Tang, the Tang flag opens the way, and we will build the glory of the Tang Dynasty, you will be the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and those who will shoot at the heroes will be decided, in the Tang Dynasty, the honor of the soldiers is above all else!"
At this moment, Li Tang has already begun to prepare to brainwash the soldiers, so that the honor of the Tang Dynasty is buried deep in their hearts, and reduce the resistance to the establishment of the empire in the future.
As long as the army is loyal and the people approve it, it is a benevolent and righteous army, and with a benevolent and righteous division, it will swallow thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
"Long live Datang!"
"Long live Datang!"
“............”
The soldiers who worship Li Tang have long forgotten Qingxiao Country and have long forgotten that they are Qingxiao people, and now they only have the word Datang in their hearts, and they have fought for these two words all their lives.
"When this crisis is over, it's time to reign. ”
Li Tang Nannan muttered to himself, his eyes revealed a trace of expectation, very faint, and was not discovered by anyone.
The south wall of Leping is full of military hearts,
The heart will be loyal to the righteous emperor;
The eternal Tang Dynasty is unparalleled,
Passed down through the ages!
The next day, Li Tang ordered Zhao Yun to lead 20,000 Changshan troops to continue to break through the rest of the county towns of Luoping County, and in just three days, the remaining eight counties of Luoping County either resisted desperately, and were broken through the city gate by the Changshan army, beheaded the enemy, or opened the city gate to accept surrender.
After this battle, the prestige of the Tang Changshan Army resounded throughout the Qingxiao country.
