Chapter 0188: Breaking the City
Thundered! ……”
Hundreds of return cannons built by Zhao Jun were fired together, and the boulder weighing 150 catties could be thrown three or four hundred meters, and in an instant, it smashed on the wall of Lixuan, and suddenly smashed out several big holes!
The rammed earth city wall, although thick, is never too strong, no better than the city wall made of bluestone bricks in the Central Plains!
If it is a city wall made of bluestone bricks, perhaps with the power of the return cannon now, Shi Min does not dare to guarantee that it will be able to smash it, but in the face of the rammed earth city wall of Lixuan City, the return cannon will definitely be able to destroy!
The power of the return cannon shocked the soldiers of the Liang army defending the city!
Soon, several large gaps were smashed into the walls of Lixuan.
Shi Min pulled out the long sword in his hand, sat on the back of Chima Zhulong's horse, and said loudly: "Kill me!" ”
"Kill!"
The entire 100,000 soldiers of the Zhao army surrounded Lixuan City so much that not a single fly could fly out of it!
Shi Min said again: "Pass the order, surrender and don't kill." Capture Xie Ai alive! Capture Xie Ai alive, give him the second grade, and a bounty of 1,000 taels! ”
Shi Min's military orders were quickly conveyed.
"Poof! ……”
Along the gap in the wall of Lixuan, countless Zhao pawns poured in like ants and swarmed in.
The soldiers of the two armies of Liang and Zhao were close to each other, but the Liang army was outnumbered and could not resist, and more Zhao troops rushed into Lixuan City, but those who did not lose their weapons and squatted down to surrender would be killed.
Shi Min's military orders are beyond doubt, the military orders are like a mountain, and no one dares to disobey them! Those who disobeyed Shi Min's military orders had already seen the king of Hades, and the grass on the grave was three feet high!
"The Grand Duke! Let's get out of here! Zhang Mao, who was beside Xie Ai, swung his sword and slashed to death a Zhao pawn who pounced, his robe was stained with blood, but he said urgently to Xie Ai on the side with a panicked face.
Xie Ai sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, withdraw? Where can we retreat? Now these four are all Zhao Jun. ”
"Governor, the last general will escort you out! Let's withdraw to Guzang! ”
At this moment, Zhao Jun swarmed over, and at the same time, an overwhelming shout sounded.
"The Great General has an order! Capture Xie Ai alive and give him the second grade! Bounty! ”
Hearing this, Xie Ai smiled bitterly and said: "Shi Min really lifted me, I didn't expect that one day, Xie Ai, a stinky skin can be so valuable." ”
"The Governor ......"
Xie Ai waved his hand and said, "If you kill at this time, you can't kill it." ”
Looking at the soldiers of Liang who were constantly falling in front of him, Xie Ai said in a deep voice: "The combat effectiveness of the Zhao army is too strong, and there are many generals, I am afraid that none of us will be able to escape." ”
"What do you mean, Grand Duke?"
After the war, the Zhao army began to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties of the enemy and our armies.
Previously, the Zhao army was dead for a few days under the city of Lixuan, so the casualties were quite heavy, but after the city was broken, the Zhao army was mighty and staged a gluttonous feast, destroying many enemies and winning a lot, so the casualties of the Liang army were more serious.
Counting the wounded, the Liang army was captured more than 14,000 people, and as for Li Shu in Lixuan City, Zhao Jun still followed the rules of the "Three Chapters of the Law" issued by Shi Min, posted a notice to calm the people, and did not commit any crimes with the people.
Shi Min's behavior of not harming the innocent really earned him an excellent reputation, at least the city captured by the Zhao army would not have innocent people die tragically.
"Lord, there are still too many prisoners." Qin Mu, who was on the side, shook his head and said.
"What do you want to say?" Shi Min squinted.
"My lord, although the king has acquiesced to what you did in Liangdi, and all the generals of the various departments have obeyed your military orders and forbade them, but after all, they are not convinced, and in the long run, I am afraid that the soldiers will have some complaints."
Shi Min waved his hand and said, "It's normal to have complaints. I'm not afraid of any complaints from them. ”
If you don't agree on the three chapters of the law, and the discipline of the army is repeated three times and five orders, do you still want to reproduce the unhealthy tendencies of the previous Zhao army?
You must know that except for the soldiers and horses of Shi Min's headquarters, the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Zhao army are all fierce people, and most of them are Hulu.
These people are cruel and violent by nature, so let them restrain their selfish desires, not kill innocents indiscriminately, do not commit adultery and plunder, and do not vent the suppressed emotions in their hearts, it is really more uncomfortable than killing them with a knife!
But this is something that can't be helped, Shi Min can't let them burn and loot in the cold land, and do nonsense, right?
Shi Min does not require the Zhao army of all departments to be like the generals of his own department, the order is forbidden, and he can temporarily abstain from sex, but he can't be driven by his temperament.
If it is to fight the Dai Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, or conquer other Hu tribes, it is just that, after all, it is the Hu people who die, and Shi Min is not distressed. Even if some Han Chinese died, Shi Min could turn a blind eye.
But in this cool land, the vast majority of them are Han Chinese, and if these Zhao troops are allowed to burn, kill and loot, they will not be able to win the hearts of the local people.
It's just that if you fight in the grass valley, Shi Min doesn't have so many scruples, but he wants to completely occupy these places.
"My lord, there are too many prisoners of war, I don't know what you will do with them?"
"First use the armor protection system to manage, and then dispose of it after the war."
"That's right." Shi Min asked again, "Have you ever captured Xie Ai alive?" ”
"This ...... No. ”
"There are no remnants of the Liang army to fight their way out of the encirclement, right?"
"There are some remnants of the army who have been killed."
Hearing this, Shi Min frowned and said, "Xie Ai, I'm going to decide." Send the order down, gather all the prisoners of war, and find Xie Ai for me! ”
"No!"
I didn't expect Shi Min to attach so much importance to Xie Ai.
In the end, Xie Ai, who was dressed as an ordinary soldier and mixed in with the prisoners of war, was pulled out and sent to Shi Min.
Shi Min untied Xie Ai, invited him to sit down, and made a pot of hot tea himself.
"Shiyuan (Xie Ai), you are like this, you are still so majestic, generous, and really a big husband." Seeing Xie Ai sitting precariously, as if he was a guest, as if he was the master, Shi Min smiled with a look of admiration.
"Is the general mocking?" Xie Ai unceremoniously picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"General, now Ai is already your subordinate prisoner, if you want to kill or chop, Xie Ai is at your disposal." Xie Ai looks like he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
Shi Min said with some tears and laughter: "Shiyuan, since you know that Ben will not kill you, why do you say such a thing?" ”
"Under is the general of the defeated army, life and death are between the thoughts of the general, and he does not dare to expect anything else. General, Xie Aining will not surrender, and please don't talk in vain, or give me a happy one, or let me go back. ”
"Haha, although you are a Confucian student, you also have a backbone and blood that ordinary people don't have. I admire you, Shay. ”
"Thank you."
Shi Min nodded and said, "Shiyuan, since I invited you here to drink tea, I won't let you go back, and I won't kill you." ”
"What does the general want? Ai Youyan is the first, the soldier can be killed but not humiliated, although I Xie Ai is a general of the defeated army, but I can't be humiliated by Hu Lu, if the general has to force me to surrender, to be an official of the Zhao court, there is no need. ”
Shi Min waved his hand and said, "Shi Yuan is too worried. I won't force you, I've always cherished talents, Shiyuan has great talents, why bother to turn around in Xiliang? Zhang Jun and Xiliang can't give you space for this bird to fly, I Shi Min can. ”
"Hehe, speaking of which, doesn't the general still want Xie Ai to defect?"
"Nope. You are mistaken. Shi Min said again, "Shiyuan, do you know the general trend of the world?" ”
Xie Ai didn't dare to talk about the destiny of heaven. However, I know that Hu Lu, there is no long-term national fortune, Ling Zun and you are both for Zhao, for Shi Hu to make great contributions, now the general is in a high position, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, this honor in Zhao State, no one can match. ”
Xie Ai squinted his eyes and said: "The ancestors of the great generals have been tooth generals for generations, and they are all Han generals, why did Lingzun's generation defect?" A man was born in the world, and when he carried a three-foot sword, he built an immortal achievement, which is right. But people do something, and they don't do something, and now the general bends down and bends under the knees of Hu Lu and recognizes the thief as his father, are you really happy in your heart? ”
Xie Ai's words can be said to have poked Shi Min's sore feet.
Shi Min shook his head and said, "Xie Ai, don't provoke me. ”
Shi Min and Xie Ai talked for a long time in the tent, and no third person knew what they were talking about, except for them.
When it was time to leave the camp, Shi Min personally sent Xie Ai out.
Xie Ai was neither released nor killed, and Shi Min ordered someone to find a house in the city to place him and keep him under close surveillance.
