Chapter 1167: Letters
Late at night.
On the city of Beta, the Mengyuan soldiers were stubborn and stubborn, patrolling the city walls. After two months of fighting, they were already very tired, and they could only fight their spirits.
Arsenal, in the room.
Namin, along with his fellow soldiers, was heavily armoured and armed. He made five torches and rushed out of the room.
Namin raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "Mengtian is dead, Han Tian should stand." ”
"Welcome the king of Han into the city, and the army and the people will be safe."
As soon as the words ended, the fire they had lit in the room beforehand burst up and engulfed the house. The rows of houses were suddenly set on fire together.
A large number of Mengyuan soldiers rushed out. Seeing this, some people took the opportunity to make trouble. Others were shouting and suppressing the rebels.
For a moment, the area was in chaos.
Namin was right. The current soldiers and civilians in the city are like a pyre, and when they encounter sparks, they are dry firewood.
Suddenly, chaos swept across the city like the wind.
Inside the City Gate Tower. Kim Ting-eun opened his eyes, and then listened carefully to the sound coming into his ears. He smiled wryly, then stood up, and before he could put on his armor, he opened the gate and walked out to see what was going on in the city.
I saw a fire in the middle of the city, and the soldiers were in chaos.
The tide is over.
Kim Jeong-eun took a breath and said to himself, "This is the result." But. I have lived up to King Keton. The number of the elite of the Han army was consumed. ”
"General. Ask the general to put on his armor and suppress the rebellion. The pro-soldiers looked frightened, and some of the pro-soldiers shouted and shouted.
"Nope." Kim Ting-eun shook his head, then pulled out the steel knife in the hand of one of his own soldiers, pointed the blade towards him, sliced his neck with great difficulty, and fell in a pool of blood.
The tide is gone, and there is no help.
He died simply, leaving his own soldiers at a loss.
"The general is dead. As pro-soldiers, we will definitely be held accountable. Now the strength of the Meng Yuan and the Han people has changed. Offense and defense are easy to shape. I think Meng Yuan is also over. It's better to do the opposite. Welcome the king of Han into the city. A pro-soldier said in a deep voice.
"Good. Give it a go and believe the words of King Han. Bet he won't slaughter the city. . ”
The soldiers nodded their heads.
As the pro-soldiers join the fray, news spreads that Kim Jeong-eun committed suicide. The entire Beta City was boiling.
Except for a few Meng Yuan diehards who were killed, the rest were willing to surrender.
Cheng.
The camp of the Han army, in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Wu Nian got the news, didn't have time to change clothes, put on a cloak in his underwear and went out of the inner tent and came to the outer tent.
"Father." Wu Min didn't have time to put on his armor, holding a horse lance, so he came to guard.
Wang Gui stood below, neatly dressed. He told Wu Nian about the situation in the city.
Wu Nian showed joy and said: "This arrow letter is still effective, otherwise the Mengyuan people can still hold out for a month or two." ”
"The order goes down. Let the people of the city calm the chaos and defend the city. The army of the widows will enter the city tomorrow. ”
Entering the city late at night is not a good choice.
"Yes." Wang Gui bowed down, turned around and walked down.
"Congratulations, Father." Wu Min congratulated on the side.
"Huh." Wu Nian smiled, looking excited. At this time, it was not far from dawn, and Wu Nian was in good spirits, so he asked people to take wine and food.
Father and son drink together.
After eating, the sky also brightened.
"Da-da-da-da." Wu Nian heard the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry. Soon after, Ouchi's guards walked in from outside and reported, "The King." General Wei Poyu asked to see him. ”
"Yes, please." Wu Nian's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Ouchi's guards answered and walked out. Not long after. Wei Poyu, who was wearing heavy armor, walked in from outside, bowed down to the Wu father and son, and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty." ”
"I've seen Qi Hou."
"No courtesy." Wu Nian waved his hand.
"Zhou Guogong." Wu Min returned the salute with a fist.
"The King. I'm about to enter the city. Ask the king to let his ministers lead his troops into the city and clean up the city of Beta. Make room for the king to stay. ”
Wei Poyu took a deep breath, clenched his fists and bent down in salute.
Clean.
How to clean up?
What is there to clean up?
This is already very explicit.
Wu Nian shook his head and said, "Letter." As the saying goes, the accumulation of faith is a lifetime, and the trust is destroyed for a while. Since the widow promised the soldiers and civilians in the city, as long as they opened the city and surrendered, they would be spared. General Wei. The widow knows that you have a deep blood feud. ”
"But this city. The widow will not allow you to slaughter. ”
"The King." Wei Poyu was anxious, knelt down, his eyes were red, and tears fell.
But Wu Nian still didn't agree to him, one was for the letter. The second is also for the Han army.
This time, if you promise the people of Beta, you will ruin your reputation. So who will believe him next time?
The two cities of Ninggu City and Beta City were attacked by the Han army for five months. Numerous casualties were immense. If the cities are stormed, how many people will die?
Immediately. Wu Nian asked Wei Poyu and others to lead the troops outside, and he took Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and other internal guards into the city, and circled down in the yamen of the prefect in the city.
Yamen Hall.
Wu Niangao sat on the main seat, and below him were the entourage of close ministers, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Wu Min.
"The Battle of Beta. How many people have we lost? Wu Nian looked up at the Hojo clan and asked in a deep voice.
"Returning to the King. Until yesterday evening. Five thousand five hundred and twenty-one soldiers were killed. 13,620 wounded. ”
"More than a thousand of them are disabled."
Hojo Clan lowered his head and replied.
"It's not easy." Wu Nian sighed softly.
Although the Han army had nearly 200,000 people, these three cities and two Mengyuan garrisons brought more than 10,000 people killed in battle.
More than 20,000 people were injured.
Thousands of people are maimed.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Nian raised his head and said to the Hojo clan: "Find someone who is bold and not afraid of death." Go to the cities of Mengyuan to persuade them to surrender. Take the precedent of Beta City. ”
"As long as they surrender before the city is broken, the widow spares everyone's lives."
"Otherwise, there is no need to say more."
"Yes." Hojo Masato bowed his head slightly and responded.
Mengyuan dozens of cities, if you can go down without a fight, it will naturally be better. But it shouldn't be that easy to think about.
"Two things. One. Send people to organize the Mengyuan Zhuangding in Beta City and Suoha City and move them to Liaodong. Let Liu Zhixing use them and pave the way. ”
"Let them make some merit. It is also to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Bring back the crippled soldiers who can no longer fight. ”
"II. Let the imperial court transport new soldiers. Fifteen thousand households rested on the front line of Soha City, Beta City, and Ninggu City. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen. No matter what. Meng Yuan's first line of defense was broken through by us. ”
"Han Chinese. For the first time, he captured the city of Meng Yuan and gained a firm foothold. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Nian raised his head and a smile appeared on his face, and his tone and demeanor were very excited.
"Yes." The Han people present shouted loudly, and their joy was beyond words.
Three cities, a square land. Enough to get a foothold.
The Han Kingdom was devouring the Meng Yuan little by little.
