Chapter 149: Kill and Surrender

Zhili,

At this time, the city of Kyoto had been officially taken over by the forbidden army that had marched from Huya Pass, and the large number of defenders in the city had become lambs to the slaughter.

According to rough estimates, there are about 50,000 rebel troops of all sizes in the city, but their combat effectiveness and will to fight are not satisfactory.

There is no monopoly situation, and the grass kings from all walks of life can be described as scattered.

Just as the gates of Kyoto Castle were lost, the defenders of the castle lost the idea of resistance and surrendered one after another.

Now most of the rebels who have surrendered are gathered in an open space in the city, waiting for an unknown fate.

These captives were not only ordinary people from peasant rebellions, but also mountain bandits who joined the rebel army from all over the country, and their quality was uneven.

Since the death of East China, Kyoto City has become a den of thieves, hiding filth and dirt and containing many scum bullies who used to be troubled in the township.

Now what they want is to join the other party's army after surrendering, and no matter how bad they are, they will also serve as laborers, but today they are going to miscalculate.

From the moment he entered the city, Yun Bi, who led the war, rode on his horse without saying a word, and his cold eyes made people tremble when they looked at it.

During this trip to Kyoto, in addition to solving the problems of food, grass and military salaries in Huya Pass, what Yun Bi wanted to do more was to take revenge.

In Yun Bi's eyes, these thieves who broke through Kyoto were all moths, and without them, Great Xia might be able to prosper again.

Kill.

Such thoughts kept converging in Yun Bi's heart, making his whole person become lifeless.

In the long course of history, the killing and surrender was unknown, and the prisoners were generally treated either as cannon fodder in the barracks or simply released.

But Yunbi couldn't swallow the breath in his heart, and looked at the prisoners kneeling on the ground like looking at a dead person.

"Master Jun, we are all ordinary people, and we really can't survive to become soldiers, you can treat us as a fart, let it go."

In the crowd, a man with five big and three thick kneels on the ground, constantly waving towards the forbidden soldiers.

With the first person proofing, the captives knelt on the ground with snot and tears and wailed.

Yun Bi turned his head sideways, and couldn't help but feel some compassion in his heart.

He knew that the past few years had been unfavorable, and there were local squires and landlords who oppressed the township, and if it was possible, he was afraid that no one would let go of his son to rebel.

Just when Yun Bi was stunned, the forbidden soldier who was disguised as a common man before suddenly burst out loud, "I can fuck you, didn't you say two days ago that you were a mountain bandit from Kitten Mountain?" Why is this cowardice today. ”

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, the forbidden soldiers who had entered the city some time ago also came out to identify him, making the man who spoke up bow his head and stop talking.

Seeing this, a trace of disgust flashed in Yun Bi's eyes, and he clenched his back molars tightly.

"General Lu, let the soldiers go up to the city tower and close the city gate."

Yun Bi's voice came out slowly, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice.

The experienced Lu Renyi immediately heard the implication of Yun Bi's words, which was to kill these prisoners.

After all, there were more than 30,000 captured defenders in this Kyoto city, which was more than the number of their forbidden troops, and if they pounced, there would definitely be a lot of losses.

Now that the city defenses of Kyoto Castle were completely controlled by the forbidden army, if the city gates were closed, the captured defenders would become turtles in the urn, and the forbidden soldiers could shoot each other with arrows on the castle tower.

Thinking of this, Lu Renyi couldn't help but exhort, "Lord Yun, these people can all be incorporated into the army." ”

Listening to Lu Renyi's whispered consolation, Yun Bi shook his head, "These people are all scum, and they waste food while they live. ”

Seeing that Yun Bi's killing intent had been decided, Lu Renyi could not persuade him again, so he could only turn around and convey the military orders to the battalions.

The city gate closed, and one by one the forbidden soldiers climbed the tower, causing the captives who surrendered below to panic.

Especially the leader of the mountain bandits, who lied about being a good citizen before, is even more uneasy at this moment, and begins to make trouble with others.

"Brothers, they blocked us in the city and didn't give us a way to live."

"You see those soldiers have gone up to the castle tower, is this going to kill us all?"

As soon as these words came out, the captives in the city began to be agitated, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.

You must know that the number of prisoners in the city is twice as large as the number of forbidden troops, and if it really starts in chaos, I am afraid that it will be a lot of trouble.

That is to say, the forbidden army occupies the terrain advantage at the moment, and these captives think that the other party will not kill and surrender, and if they really want to escape, these forbidden troops in the city cannot be stopped.

Seeing that the situation had become chaotic, Lu Renyi was still experienced and began to shout from the city tower.

"Fellow countrymen, listen to me."

"I didn't lock you up in the city to kill you, but there are too many of you, and when you cook tomorrow, I will definitely send you out of the city when you have enough to eat."

"If you want to stay in the army, you can continue to be a soldier, and our forbidden army also has a military salary."

Listening to Lu Renyi shouting from the city tower, the low noise began to gradually quiet down.

Many of them had seen Lu Renyi before, and when they entered the city, there were more than a dozen guards around them, and they looked like big officials.

And Lu Renyi also looks like an elder, which makes many people let go of the doubts in their hearts.

Seeing that the scene gradually quieted down, Lu Renyi showed a smile on his face, staring at the mountain bandit who was the first to make trouble with interest.

The leader of the mountain bandits was furious at the sight, and just as he wanted to say something more, he heard the other party's voice come again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that black man like briquettes has repeatedly sowed discord, and I will bring you food at night when I kill him."

Seeing that Lu Renyi's words changed and pointed the finger at himself, the mountain bandit leader began to panic.

Not for anything else, just because the captives around him who were originally fighting side by side with him looked at him with unkind eyes, and even his own men gradually approached him.

"Brothers, they're going to kill us, they're going to kill us!"

The leader of the bandits was eager to defend himself, and kept screaming and persuading the people, but any words seemed to pale and weak, and they would not listen to his explanation.

As he stepped back, a sharp knife stabbed him in the back at some point.

Just when he turned his head to look over with difficulty, he saw that it was his own subordinate who stabbed him, the second-in-command of the mountain bandits.

"Big brother, you are already going to die today, why should you cut off the way of life for your brothers."

Listening to the heart-piercing words of his siblings, the leader of the mountain bandits was like ashes, and he fell unwillingly in a pool of blood.

When the soldiers in the city saw this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, this trick of killing people with a knife was really chilling.

Human nature shows its evil side in this life-and-death situation, and it cannot withstand any temptation.

At this moment it was over, and the time had come to an end, and the captives who had been imprisoned in the city were quietly waiting for their dinner.

At the same time, the defenders of the city were almost ready, and a killing was brewing.

"Peng~"

A clay pot was thrown from the castle tower, and the moment it hit the ground, it shattered into pieces, and at the same time a pungent smell came out.

Many people looked in the direction where the sound came from, pushing forward and sticking out their heads to check.

"It's the oil of fire, they really want to kill us."

One of the captives at the front saw what the puddle of yellow liquid crushed to the ground was, and couldn't help but shout loudly, while the crowd behind him shuddered.

Before they could think about it, more clay pots were thrown from the tower, and the soldiers on the tower drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows were sparkling with flames.

"You're not trustworthy!"

The mountain bandit who killed his eldest brother couldn't help but scold, and the scene boiled for a while.

Lu Renyi also appeared in the city tower at this time, his face was expressionless, only a sense of indifference to life.

"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, this is war."

"Shoot the arrows."

With Lu Renyi's order, the soldiers of the forbidden army who were full of bowstrings released the deadly arrows in their hands.

The howls continued to sound, and the city had become a sea of fire, and many people rushed to the city gate, trying to break through the door but in vain.

Seeing the fire people fluttering in the city, the eyes of the soldiers in the city were full of fear, and Lu Renyi also squirmed his lips but did not say a word in the end.

In a military tent in the forbidden army camp outside the city, Yun Bi sat alone in an empty tent, listening to the wail ringing in his ears, and took a drink from the wine cup on the table.

"Emperor, those courtiers who betrayed the empire have already received their due retribution.".

Although he Yunbi was born as a eunuch, his loyalty to Great Xia has surpassed that of the civil and military generals of this era too much.

In this troubled era where a soldier is the king of grass, perhaps only he has always been concerned about Great Xia and wants to lift up this overturned edifice.

Now that Kyoto Castle is back in the hands of the forbidden army, he still has a lot to do.

Not only are these rebels in the city rebellious, but Yun Bi hates the warlords entrenched in various places the most.

If the rebel army that invaded Kyoto Castle was the last straw that broke the camel's back, the warlords and families that were entrenched in the local area were the bloodsuckers lying on the empire.

They are the culprits who killed Great Xia, and their betrayal is the most hateful.

Yun Bi already had a plan in his heart, and when the rebel army in the Naoli area of Kyoto was almost cleared, it was time to recruit troops.

There is a world of difference between the forbidden army that took down Kyoto and the border forbidden army that is like rootless duckweed in Huya Pass.

With the grain and grass in the pass, Yun Bi could quickly assemble a large army.

And compared to the old soldiers in the hands of these local warlords, their 20,000 forbidden troops are all elites who crawled out of the pile of dead.

Just by attacking Kyoto Castle this time, a mere 20,000 forbidden troops will allow Kyoto Castle to be able to see its strength without attacking itself.

Now Yun Bi's only worry is Huya Pass, this time he took away most of the troops in Huya Pass, if the grassland Rong clan makes a comeback, it will be a real disaster.

But at this point, it's useless to think about anything else, and the most important thing now is to settle down and just take Kyoto City.
