Chapter 374: Caught off guard
Dumping the nest, the Ta people will not be unaware.
It's a pity that they didn't expect Pei Heng to suddenly fight like this.
As a result, the thirty miles that had been retreated were quickly driven back fifty miles.
And if you retreat, it will be the poplar town that belongs to Xihua City. And once poplar town is captured, the next part will be West Birch City.
Pei Heng ordered to camp first, rest for a day, and attack tomorrow.
Pei Heng is young and full of enthusiasm. And because of his special identity, he still takes the lead.
So that all those below can see is hope and light. So the fighting spirit is full.
Every soldier screamed when he went out.
From the sixteenth day of the expedition, to the first attack on the city of Poplar Town, and then to the final attack on the West Birch City.
It's overwhelming.
Even Zuo Zhoujun didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Pei Heng didn't expect it. But in fact, it was so smooth.
The Ta people were defeated and retreated, and they were almost beaten and had no power to fight back.
But if you think about it, it's not incomprehensible. The Ta people are not good at defending cities. And the old opponent who had been pressing and fighting for more than 20 years suddenly stood up, not only stood up, but also took a sharp long sword.
Unprepared.
What's more, the war of the Ta people this time has been going on for more than half a year, and there has begun to be a shortage of food and grass inside.
At this time, how can there be no problem when someone suddenly beats him in reverse?
And the main thing is that I didn't expect it.
So when the Ta people finally understood that they were going to defend Xihua City, it was already too late.
is still the same sentence, there are few people in the Ta tribe, and the army composed of the original Dajin people who have been incorporated is bound to be unwilling to go all out.
Pei Heng's people rebelled while fighting. Some people who were not firm in the first place completely rebelled.
No one will do their best, and they don't even eat less food in the army than the Ta people.
The existence of slaves, why should they be loyal to the Ta people?
And relying on the Ta people themselves, how many people can there be?
It will not be able to hold the city.
On the night of the ninth day of the seventh month, Pei Heng finally knocked on the gate of Xihua City.
This is a day worth remembering in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty, the ninth night of the seventh month of the sixty-second year of Jianwen. This is a day when I was lived by Secretary Shi.
And at this moment, Pei Heng was covered in blood, and with his Zuozhou army, he was like entering a no-man's land.
Astound.
The whole West Birch City was shocked.
It's been too long, and the people of Xihua City have to forget that they belong to the Great Jin, and they have long given up on the Great Jin and can fight back.
An old man saw a man dressed in the clothes of a Great Jin soldier enter the city, knelt on the side of the road and cried loudly.
I can't tell you what mood I feel, it's like a person who has been abandoned forever, who was going to die in such a daze, but suddenly saw the person who abandoned them coming.
That feeling, unbelievable, unbelievable, but unable to control the feeling of emotion.
Pei Heng and the others entered the city in such an atmosphere.
The Ta people have been defeated, and now even those who have not left the city are rushing for their lives.
And the whole West Birch City, dilapidated is simply not like a big city.
And with the arrival of Pei Heng and others, the older people gradually came out. The young, those who have not experienced the past, also follow their elders to stand in the crack of the door and watch.
Pei Heng walked for a long time and stopped in an open place.
He thought about it, but still spoke: "You don't have to be afraid of blind dates. The main hall brought enough men. Now Xihua City has been recaptured and belongs to the Great Jin again. You are saved. No one will bully you in the future, so let's repair your home! This temple will keep you at peace. ”
At first, there was no response.
After a long while, Pei Heng heard the cries one after another. miserable, the rest of the catastrophe.
In the end, almost all the people who came out wept.
A few old people knelt down first, and then everyone knelt down.
"God bless me Xihua City!"
"This hall is Pei Heng, the second son of the emperor! The court will not leave you alone! Pei's can't stand you, and you have been suffering for so many years. ”
Look at the streets, look at the ragged clothes and sallow faces of the people.
Even in such a large city, there are not many people.
There was not a single young woman to be seen, and there were very few young men. You can see what kind of life they have lived all these years.
A man in his forties was more daring and trembled and asked, "Are you not leaving?" ”
This was asked by a big man, but it made everyone's hearts sad.
"Naturally! In the future, Xihua City will garrison, and it is impossible to be occupied by the Ta people again, you just have to live in peace! Pei Heng said loudly.
After the big man sighed several times, he suddenly began to cry.
If it had been today, one of his sons and daughters would not have been killed by the Ta people. Damn the Tas.
Pei Heng did not delay any longer, and quickly sent people to guard the city gate, and sent 60,000 people to pursue the Ta soldiers.
And all the remaining Ta people in the city were captured, concentrated in a square in Xihua City, and killed them all after dawn.
Don't be merciful, for the Ta people, Pei Heng has no soft heart.
Maybe I'll be soft-hearted in the future, but now, I can't.
There were also six or seven thousand people arrested, including children born to a Dajin woman and a Ta tribe. They are only a little better than slaves.
But they are all slaves.
Naturally, there are women in the Great Jin Dynasty crying and begging, and they don't want their Ta people's husbands and children to die.
However, after all, it can't be stopped.
must die with him, and Pei Heng will not be stopped by anyone.
The night was busy, and by dawn, the square was already full of people.
All the people of the Great Jin Dynasty shouted to kill the Ta people.
The hatred is too deep! It is impossible to forgive. All the people of the city have been plagued by the Ta people.
Blood feuds abound, even if there is no blood feud, robbery, coercion, these things happen every day.
At this time, who can have a good impression of these people who used to be proud?
Before the execution had even begun, the people had already smashed the heads of the Ta people tied to the square with stones and other things, and the blood was flowing.
Someone was even stoned to death on the spot.
Pei Heng didn't have too many tricks, just called someone to behead.
Seven thousand, it will take a long time to behead the capital.
He didn't ask someone to be beheaded here, but pulled out of the city in pairs, in a ravine outside the north gate of Xihua City.
A team of fifty men had been killed until they had killed more than 7,000 men, and most of the ditch had been filled.
Tashi Dra's family consisted of sixteen, his wife, sons, daughters, and grandchildren. All of them were beheaded and sent to Licheng.
Tashi Tsang fled to the city.
After all, it's a hot day, and there are so many corpses, so you can't do it if you don't dispose of it. Pei Heng asked someone to bury it in the ditch with lime, and then buried it with soil. And before that, the corpses of all the Ta soldiers in the city were also dragged into this ditch.
At this point, Xihua City finally returned to the Great Jin.
And Pei Heng also laid the foundation in this troubled era. Whether it is King Song or Han Peiqi, they all lost a step after all.
And in troubled times, sometimes if you lose a step, you lose every step of the way.
[The reason why I took Xihua City so quickly was not because of the protagonist's aura, but because the opposite side was caught off guard, and the next city couldn't be so easy! ] But come on, my Zhizhi and Pei Heng's journey is a sea of stars! 】
