Soon, Kangyu arrived at the head of the city, and the guards here directly confronted, the guards on the head of the city also because of the arrival of the mercenary army, forgot about the magic array, in fact, the affairs there were no longer their turn to take care of, perhaps because it was too sudden, those who slept in the barracks not far from the city wall had just woken up at the moment when the mercenary army entered the city, and the sound of the emergency horn made them lose their sense of proportion and not organize themselves when they were busy, and the city defense army closest to the city head was directly blocked by the mercenaries at the gate of the barracks。

Kangyu rushed to the head of the city, as the leader of a team, in the mercenary army, he has always been in the front of the attack and retreated behind, which is the tradition of mercenaries, not the exclusive patent of the mercenary army.

"Dang!"

A sword was cut down from the side, Kangyu hurriedly blocked it with a sword, and the sound of the two swords clashing also started the battle at the head of the city. The other party is also a senior swordsman, and the accumulation of fighting spirit is more, so Kangyu is a passive defense, and the opponent will suppress Kangyu with a sword. Kangyu slammed one knee to the ground, and he had to protect it with his fighting spirit, otherwise the blow would have smashed his knee and turned him into a cripple. For a swordsman, losing the opportunity is a very fatal thing, but fortunately, the mercenary is following behind but rushing to the city, and there is more than one senior swordsman in a team, and the deputy captain next to him stabbed the enemy with a sword from the side, although this stab was a little late, but the other party had no way to kill and had to retreat. As soon as he retreated, he directly let go of the stairs at the head of the city, and several more clever mercenaries next to the deputy captain hurriedly attacked forward from the side. Kangyu, who took a breath, really walked on the line of life and death, making his high morale instantly become cold, and the deputy captain rushed towards the enemy. Kangyu stood up at the first moment and rushed towards the enemy, and the two of them flanked the powerful enemy. The impact of the two forced the enemy backwards, and at the same time forced the enemy away from the staircase of defense, and the mercenaries behind took advantage of the situation to fight from the staircase and faced other directions. As soon as the senior swordsman stepped back, he knew that he had made a fatal mistake, and if he didn't leave the staircase, he could have asked two or three high-level swordsmen to block this place together. You must know that the entrance of the staircase of the building school is not wide, it is more than three meters, and the two senior swordsmen fighting the enemy side by side seem to be a little crowded, not to mention that so many people don't have much to play at all, but because he doesn't care about this, he just wants to force the enemy back as soon as possible. Gives the mercenary army a chance to rush straight up. At this time, the shape of the castle was already very bad for Harvey's city defense army. Originally, it was because the city was too big. Defense is needed in every direction. 10,000 people on average, that is, 2,500 people to guard each wall, if you remove some more people to guard the city lord's mansion, there are only 2,300 people left, and now because it is the middle of the night, most of the people are sleeping. There are only a few people on duty at the head of the city, about a few hundred people, and once they are scattered to various places, there are not many people on the head of the city. So as soon as the enemy gets out of the way. The opportunity of the mercenary army came, Kangyu and the deputy captain tightly entangled each other, and the others rushed up one after another, and there was no suspense in the battle of the city at this moment.

Su Jin followed Kangyu into the city, the difference is that his task is not to capture the city, but to attack the military camp on the edge of the city, these are all tasks that have been understood and assigned in advance, otherwise once they rush into the city, the entire army will become a plate of scattered sand, and they don't know the east, west, north and south. The military camp was not very far from the city, but it was less than a hundred meters away, and after the alarm was sounded at the city, it began to assemble as soon as possible, and rushed towards the city as fast as possible. But what they didn't expect was that the mercenary army rushed in so quickly, and Su Jin happened to be facing them, blocking the other party fifty meters from the head of the city, as a vanguard, a very important task was to quickly defeat the enemy, not to let them block the advance of the mercenaries behind.

"Three-stage Dou Qi release!" Su Jin immediately gave an order when the enemy approached, after yesterday's battle, let these mercenaries truly understand what a mercenary should do on the battlefield, this is the first battle in their army, and now it is the second time.

One after another of various colors of fighting qi slashed, towards the city defense soldiers who rushed in front of them, looking at the fighting qi that flew over, some of the city defense troops reacted quickly and immediately opened the douqi shield, and the slow reaction was directly drowned by some fighting qi slashing. The mercenary army's first strike was to force the Harvey city defense soldiers who rushed up, and they couldn't help but have a trace of fear in their hearts, and suddenly they stopped somewhere, but the mercenary army followed the three-stage fighting spirit and attacked, and all of a sudden, the two sides fought together. One side came prepared, the other side was temporary, and it can be said that this battle was doomed to the end of these city defense troops from the beginning. The mercenaries who followed behind saw that the mercenaries in front of them were fighting with the city defense army, so they directly bypassed the other avenues on one side and attacked towards the place of the city lord's mansion, and even some mercenary teams rushed through the roof.

Early in the morning, Kong Ming practiced his swordsmanship on a vacant lot in the City Lord's Mansion, and he hadn't had such training for a long time, and he almost forgot that he was still a great sword master. After entering the city lord's mansion in the early morning, he found a free place to meditate for two hours, eliminating the fatigue of the march in the past few days, after all, marching in the wilderness on such a snowy day is actually a hard work.

"Commander, letter from the Second Army. A staff officer walked over after watching Kong Ming practice his sword skills.

Kong Ming took the text and looked at it.

"On January 3, 1015, about 600,000 men of Harvey's 7th Army attacked Wencheng. After the enemy entered Wencheng, the civilians of Wencheng were cleansed, and according to reliable information, about 20,000 civilians were captured and killed, and the purge is still ongoing. Our troops had already moved westward as ordered, and when they learned of this on the way, the officers and men were furious. I hereby request for the next step. The commander of the second army, Teng Qinglong. ”

Looking at Teng Qinglong's letter, Kong Ming suddenly pondered, not for the purpose of Harvey's Seventh Legion to occupy Wencheng, but for the Seventh Legion's cleansing of civilians, in other words, slaughter, this situation made Kong Ming think a lot for a while. If this matter is amplified by the outside world, although the reputation of the Seventh Army is notorious, more civilians will not join the mercenary army anymore, because the mercenary army is not an orphan, but also has parents, wives and children, and also has three relatives and six friends. If this is the case for the mercenaries to know. How much impact it will have, this is not estimated by Kong Ming, in short, there will be a point, that is, there must be a lot of people who want to cross the Seventh Legion, and if they are blocked, it will have the opposite effect. If it can be guided positively, then it can also play a very huge role. Its power could even wipe out the Seventh Legion. Because grief is also a powerful force. It's just a matter of whether people know how to use it. Now is the time for Sora to think about how to use this power.

"Let the commanders of the three armies and all the division commanders and regiment commanders gather at the headquarters. Kong Ming said gloomily. The blood of more than 20,000 civilians must be repaid. Kong Ming did not expect that the appearance of this incident would directly invert the great turmoil of the Harvey Empire, and history is often caused by some small causes.

An hour later, all the division commanders and Che Ming came to the City Lord's Mansion, and the headquarters of Che Yu was with Kong Ming, so while Kong Ming knew, he also knew about this matter.

Kong Ming looked at Che Ji and the division commanders and regiment commanders. He said gloomily: "I just received a magic letter from Teng Qinglong, the commander of the Second Army: On January 3, 1015, about 600,000 people of Harvey's Seventh Army attacked Wencheng. It was our side that took the initiative to abandon Wencheng and withdrew from Wencheng three hours before the enemy came, after the enemy entered Wencheng. The purge of civilians in the city of Bun has continued, with credible information suggesting that some 20,000 civilians have been arrested and killed. ”

After Kong Ming finished reading, he looked around, and then looked at the scenery outside the city lord's mansion, and he didn't know what he was thinking. In addition to the fact that Che Yu already knows the content of this, even Yi Yiyi may not have heard of it, and all the people were shocked after hearing this information, you must know that the nobles of the Ha Empire have always been very cruel to civilians, and they have always kept their hands behind, it can be said that this thing is very normal, and there is nothing abnormal for them. But for the mercenary army, an army of wanderers, most of them are born from civilians, and some are even slaves who fled from the Harvey Empire to the land of chaos, this is unforgivable, although the war has a great impact on civilians, but it is impossible to slaughter a group of unarmed civilians so nakedly.

"Commander, let's go back and kill these beastly things. Avenge these dead. Lin Guangping, the commander of the first division, said.

"These people are coming at us if they have the ability, why should they attack these civilians. We must kill him without leaving a piece of armor behind. "The second division commander Liu Keyu is really angry.

All of a sudden, because Kong Ming didn't speak, the entire hall was full of shouting and scolding, and the crowd was excited, all saying that they would kill together and scrape those Seventh Legion ones alive one by one. And Yiyi was the one who blamed herself the most, she muttered: "I shouldn't have left, I should have stayed there, fought with them, even if I died, I was willing." There was a hint of pain in her expression, and for the first time she really felt the war as it was. War is not a fairy tale, war is not the romantic poetry of a poet, war is not a monument to heroes. It's a song about the deaths of civilians and soldiers.

Kong Ming hadn't noticed Yi Yiyi's expression at first, he was just thinking about how to make the most of this matter, because he was also sad and angry about the death of 20,000 civilians in his heart, but not to the point of losing his mind.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, now we'll do it separately. Order: 1. Tomorrow, all the more than 30,000 officers above the squadron leader level of the city defense army who have just been captured will be pressed into the city square, and all of them will be executed after the end of the swearing-in meeting. The first words that Kong Ming said were bloody. After everyone heard Kong Ming's order, they couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, the commander really couldn't get along with the nobles.

"2. Order all armies, columns, and Wei Qian's headquarters to confiscate all the property of the nobles and distribute it to all the commoners, including land. Kong Ming continued, this article is to stabilize the hearts of the civilians, you must know that you can't live without money, and after you have money, you have to work hard to keep these things, whether they accept these things or not, but once the mercenary army sends them out, for the Harvey Empire, they are the people who have contact with the mercenary army. Hearing Kong Ming's words, everyone gasped even more, usually just distributing the money of some nobles to the commoners, but at this time, even their land was divided. And the nobles who have lost their land cannot be called nobles, and this is to completely cut off the roots of the nobles.

"Third, the two columns quickly abandoned the plan to harass the Seventh Army Corps, and let a small number of troops monitor it, and the rest immediately formed a force with the Second Army to attack Butterfly City, and took Butterfly City in five days, and demolished all the walls of Butterfly City. Severed the connection of the Seventh Army Corps with the rear. ”

"Fourth, after the 1st, 3rd, and 4th armies completed their respective plans to capture the cities, they left part of their forces in the cities, and the rest of the troops quickly gathered around the city. When the number of troops was insufficient, all the captives were scattered and divided into various teams, while the remaining army was immediately expanded. We are going to have a decisive battle with the Harvey Army, which is aimed at annihilating the Seventh Legion. ”

"Fifth, spread this incident to various cities through various channels, so that they can clearly understand the cruelty of the Seventh Legion. ”

Kong Ming said five orders in one breath, and then said to the car: "Prepare for the oath meeting tomorrow morning, and immediately inform all armies of what the enemy has done, so that every mercenary knows about this matter." ”

The news of the capture of the city by Harvey's Seventh Army spread throughout the Harvey Empire, and "more than 30,000 enemies were annihilated and more than 50,000 were captured." (Harvey Imperial Morning Post), this news made all the nobles excited for a while, and Zhao Wu was also called a rare general in the Harvey Empire by the emperor himself, and the blessing of the empire, naturally what Alexander and Zhang Yiming planned was also miscarried. Kong Ming didn't know that because Zhao Wu's cruel act allowed them to escape an early showdown with Alexander. Because on the day Zhao Wu occupied Wencheng, Emperor Harvey ordered Alexander to return to the Fifth Army and lead his troops to destroy the Snow Wolf mercenary army north of Songjiang. Therefore, the contingencies in war are really too great, and even the most clever and wise people cannot think about all the factors clearly, because this is the game of all the people involved, not the game of one or two people.
