Chapter 56 The Iron Armor Shows Its Might Changes
Since ancient times, there has been no city that cannot be attacked, especially when there is still one's own internal response in this city.
Zhao Gui and other generals of the Qi army heard Murong Shaozong say that they had an internal response in Jinan City, and they were immediately very happy, and they were thinking about how to make a lot of money after entering the city.
Murong Shaozong seemed to know what these generals were thinking, so he spoke: "The people in the city are all the people of my Great Qi, after you enter the city, remember my military orders, and you are not allowed to plunder!" ”
A general was dissatisfied: "Governor, the people who are loyal to my Daqi have fled from the city, and the rest of those who are in the city must be attached to the thieves with iron hearts, so why show mercy?" ”
Murong Shaozong recognized that the person who spoke was a member of the Gao Yang clan, a descendant of Gao Huan's cousins, although he was also a member of the Gao clan, he was not rich and noble, and he probably wanted to make a lot of money by encircling and suppressing the anti-thieves.
When the other generals in the tent heard the general's words, they also looked at Murong Shaozong with eager eyes, it seemed that it was not one who wanted to get rich, but everyone who had this idea.
Besides, Qizhou has always been rich, as long as the Metropolitan Governor raises his hand a little and pretends not to see it, then everyone can make a big profit by scraping it casually, and the Metropolitan Governor's share is indispensable.
In the end, Murong Shaozong couldn't resist the wishes of so many people, so he said to Zhao Gui as if he hadn't seen everyone: "General Zhao, after the army enters the city, you must strictly inspect the east and west cities, and you must not let the 'chaotic' army loot!" ”
The generals of the Qi army in the tent were overjoyed when they heard Murong Shaozong's words, and the meaning of the metropolitan governor was obvious to everyone, that is, after the city was broken, the Qi army only protected the east and west cities, and as for other places, they should be harmed by the anti-thieves.
The east city of Jinan City is where the eunuchs and officials at all levels are located, and the west city is a place where some 'gates' and the powerful families are untouchable.
Although most of the powerful families in these two places died or fled, there were still clansmen in other regions, and if they coveted those possessions, they would offend any minister in the court.
The southern city is inhabited by poor people, and the people have no oil and water, but the northern city is different, because it is close to Jishui, there are mostly some wealthy families of businessmen.
Although Wang Ze's army had been crossed by the water before, those were all powerful families and big businessmen who accounted for a very small number of people in the city, and a large number of middle and high-level businessmen were safe and sound.
Some of the merchants may have fled the city a few days ago, but it is impossible to take all the belongings with them, and when the time comes, the Qi army can justifiably take the goods of those merchants as their own, as long as they slander these people as gangsters.
Outside the city, the Qi army sorted out and built siege equipment, not to mention for the time being, the corpses under the city must be collected as soon as possible, after Murong Shaozong ordered someone to 'shoot' arrows into the city, Wang Ze's behavior of collecting the corpses of the Qi army was also opened and closed.
Looking at the heavily guarded city, Murong Shaozong sighed and said: "It seems that although the people who defend the city are from the wild road, the military discipline is not comparable to that of ordinary thieves. ”
That night, the rain slowly became lighter, and the Qi army lit a bunch of fires outside the city, and dozens of big drums beat drums to shake the sky, and Qin Lang in the city thought that the Qi army was going to attack the city at night and hurriedly guarded.
Who knew that the Qi army had been in a commotion for half an hour, and there was no movement, which made Qin Lang, who was on guard in the city, a little 'touching' his head.
The rain had passed early the next morning, and after yesterday's rain had washed away the bloodstains on the city walls, only some traces remained, only some nicks were left where the weapons had been cut.
When Wang Ze stood at the head of the city and looked outside the city, he only felt that his back was hot by the rising sun, but the west side he was facing was a little cool in early autumn, and his nose was a little itchy and he wanted to sneeze.
The Qi army outside the city began to prepare for the siege again, and the soldiers of the brigade held the shields that had been worked overnight last night, all of which were made overnight from the trees that had been cut down several miles outside the city.
"What a fucking pity, such a good piece of pine!" Zhou Tong, the commander of the Iron Armor Battalion, sighed on the side, he had passed by there a few days ago and saw that wood, each of them had grown for nearly a hundred years, and it was the thickness of a human waist, and if it was a prosperous economy, a tree would be worth at least thousands of dollars.
Wang Ze looked at Zhou Tong with a smile and said to him: "Uncle Zhou, don't be a pity, I will give you a large piece of fine pine forest in the future!" Are all your warriors ready? ”
As soon as he heard Wang Ze ask himself, Zhou Tong immediately became energetic, the ironclad battalion was his pride! immediately replied: "Xiao Langjun is not for us to blow it to you, how can the ironclad battalion under our old Zhou also experience many major battles, and now it is only stronger than before, not worse than before!" As long as the officers and soldiers go to the city, they will immediately drive him down! ”
Zhou Tong still couldn't change that mouth, but after listening to Zhou Tong's words, Wang Ze was more relieved, after all, Zhou Tong's martial arts were also a fierce general.
Seeing that the city was well organized by Qin Lang, Wang Ze nodded reassuringly, and at this time, Puyang Xunle came over.
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, hehe, just now Commander Yan and Commander Xu cracked a few more secret camps of the Qi army, plus the dead soldiers of the Qi army captured before, I am afraid that there are nearly a thousand losses, now we are safe and sound!" Puyang Xun said happily to Wang Ze.
Wang Ze was also happy to hear Pu Yangxun's news, after all, in order to defend the city, it was necessary to remove all the internal straps in the city.
Looking at the Qi army slowly approaching outside the city, Wang Ze asked Pu Yangxun: "Mr. Puyang, how is my second brother Cheng Hu doing now?" Is it still going well? ”
Pu Yangxun said with a smile: "It's quite smooth, it's just that the horses are difficult to choose, but with the help of Captain Ge Du, they have all been selected." ”
Hearing that everything was going smoothly according to his own plan, Wang Ze was very happy, and said to Pu Yangxun: "The Qi army is about to attack the city, the sword and arrow have no eyes, Mr. should go down to the city as soon as possible!" ”
Looking at Pu Yangxun going down, Wang Ze ordered: "Behead all the dead soldiers of the Qi army captured in the past few days, and throw the corpses out of the city!" ”
Today's Qi army's siege routine is the same as yesterday, especially the moat has been filled up yesterday, and the siege has been much smoother, although the Qi army is still suffering heavy casualties, but today's attack is more fierce.
As soon as Murong Shaozong came up, he put the town army into the ranks of the siege, and it seems that Wang Ze beheaded the dead soldiers of the Qi army and threw their bodies outside the city, which was very exciting to Murong Shaozong.
Yesterday's siege of the state and county soldiers, after all, the combat effectiveness is much weaker than the town army stationed on the frontier, and as soon as the town army comes up today, the defenders in the city immediately feel different.
At this time, Zhao Kun was responsible for guarding a section of 100 meters north of the city 'gate', and when he took refuge in Wang Ze, who had just occupied Jinan City, Zhao Kun was just ready to use it as a pedal for himself.
Who knew that he was shocked when he first saw Wang Ze, Wang Ze's appearance looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy at most, and his actual age was even younger than ten years old.
Then the forces behind Wang Ze gradually appeared, the 'elite' navy, the violently expanding cavalry, and the infantry that was small but well-trained at the beginning.
During the large-scale recruitment of poor Han people in Qizhou and other places, Zhao Kun and other heroes also expanded their small teams in order to maintain their relative independence.
Later, with the training of Wang Zeyan's generals to his subordinates, the prototype of a strong army slowly appeared, and who would have thought that the Han people, who were ordinary farmers a few days ago, would become a well-trained army after only a short period of training.
This army only needs to go through three or five major battles to become a lion in a hundred battles, and it only takes less than five hundred men to easily defeat one or two thousand people under its command.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun was completely convinced, and immediately disbanded his small team with sincerity to Wang Ze, and became a commander under Wang Ze, with 500 people under him.
Zhao Kun had no complaints about his transformation from a big boss with one or two thousand troops to a lieutenant who could only lead five hundred. These 500 people themselves have martial arts, and after nearly a month of training, they are equipped with excellent 'fine' steel long knives, and they are covered with armor and steel protection in key places, which is simply not too extravagant.
Before the Qi army attacked the city, Zhao Kun secretly made up his mind that he must keep the Qi army out and firmly hold the city, according to yesterday's experience, it is no problem to have such 500 people to defend the city wall of less than 200 meters.
But Zhao Kun didn't know that the Qi army that attacked the city yesterday and today were no longer the same thing, and as soon as he 'fought' it, Zhao Kun clearly felt that the Qi army in front of him was a veteran of battle.
Some of the weapons used by grassroots officers are even 'fine' steel knives made in Xiangzhou, but in Northern Qi, these Xiangzhou knives can only be used by the forbidden army and the 'elite' army.
Zhao Kun secretly rejoiced that fortunately, the soldiers under his command also used the best steel knives, if they used the blades produced by the generals of Jinan City, I was afraid that they would have been cut off with a knife.
Zhao Kun was in Dongping County before, although his family was poor, but he also learned a good martial arts with his clansmen, but it took a quarter of an hour to cut down several Qi army officers with good martial arts with Zhao Kun's martial arts, and one of them was still a team leader.
But at this time, looking at the Qi soldiers in the city, not only did not decrease but also increased, and at this moment, a group of twenty ironclad soldiers lined up in a queue to sweep over.
With the sweep of the ironclad soldiers, the place where the Qi soldiers gathered in the city turned into piles of broken 'meat', and the Qi soldiers scattered in the defenders were also quickly wiped out.
The same scene was also being played out in other parts of the city, it turned out that Zhou Tong left only forty of the five hundred ironclad soldiers in the city tower where Wang Ze was, and the other soldiers were divided into twenty-three teams with twenty people to assist in defending the city.
Of course, because wearing iron armor consumes a lot of physical strength, the iron armor soldiers are also based on the specific situation, and they will only do it when there are more Qi troops attacking the city wall.
From the time when the Qi army began to attack the city until near noon, there was no intention of stopping, and the corpses on both sides of the city wall were piled up, but now the water of the moat was definitely stained red with blood.
Seeing that it was almost noon, dozens of big drums outside the Qi army were thundering together, and more Qi troops rushed up, and the fighting was even more 'fierce'.
The ironclad battalion is busy fighting fires everywhere, but although the soldiers of the ironclad battalion are brave, they are not robots after all, and the manpower will eventually run out.
As the fighting time prolonged, the physical strength of the soldiers of the ironclad battalion gradually couldn't keep up, and even casualties began to appear, and even the forty soldiers who began to stay by Wang Ze's side were sent out.
Just when the fighting in the city became more and more 'intense', a burst of shouts and killings suddenly broke out in the city, and Wang Ze's face in the city changed greatly, it is not good that there is a change in the city!
But Murong Shaozong outside the city smiled, before Wang Ze beheaded thousands of dead soldiers and threw their bodies outside the city, which made Gao Qian and other generals who opposed him very unpleasant, and gossip from time to time.
Now my real guilt has finally made a move! Murong Shaozong shouted: "The town army is out and enters the city!" Take Jinan City with me! ”
