Chapter 18: Hold High the Argument of Huayi, Restore My Chinese Clothes! The War Begins!
Hold high the debate of Huayi and restore my Chinese clothes!
After this slogan was raised, the war finally began. 10,000 soldiers and 100,000 militiamen came to Huiji County on the warships that had been prepared for a long time.
Huiji County is a prosperous place of maritime trade in the south, there are a large number of maritime merchants here, it is very prosperous, and it is also considered to be a large population in the south.
This is the starting point of the Grand Canal in the south, you can go along the Grand Canal to Luoyang and Chang'an to the north, and there is no problem with the sea outside, and the special terrain has led to the extremely prosperous Huiji County today, and there are many merchants.
But today, everything has changed.
Looking up, there were so many soldiers in black armor that they couldn't see the end at a glance, and they formed a line of extremely fast speeds, almost in the blink of an eye.
When the soldiers found them, they were already eight or nine hundred paces away from the city, and when the soldiers sounded the alarm bell and alerted the whole city, they had already climbed the ladder to the bottom of the city.
That's right, they are resisting the ladder, not pushing the ladder, since ancient times the ladder is one of the instruments often used in siege warfare, but today the soldiers defending the city are considered to have a long experience, it turns out that the ladder can not be pushed, but more than a dozen soldiers together to resist and hug over.
This kind of scene is so amazing that the Taishou who got the news thought that it was the soldiers below dreaming, daydreaming!
This is ridiculous, how is this possible? Could it be that the captain drank too much last night?
However, when the Taishou of Huiji County came to the city wall with his own eyes and saw this scene, he knew that all this was true, and he was making too much fuss.
But this is unreasonable, but there is no more time for him to think about whether it is reasonable or not, because the Qin army has already begun to attack the city.
The Qin army held high the Black Water Dragon Flag, and its morale was extremely high, and they rushed forward almost with a roar, without stopping in the middle, and rushed over in one breath.
As for the arrows and crossbows on the defending side, they are completely useless!
Some soldiers rushed fast, and even rushed forward directly against the rain of arrows, looking like a hedgehog full of arrows from a distance, but when such a hedgehog comes to you, when it gets closer and closer to you, the first thing it brings is fear.
"The first climber, Qu Da is also!"
At this moment, Qu Da was like going back to more than a year ago, when he first landed in a small border town in South Korea, his fighting spirit was instantly full, and he only felt that he seemed to have inexhaustible strength at this moment.
With a roar, he held a three-foot-long knife in his right hand. Yun Qiqi stepped on the ladder and jumped onto the city wall, and before the guards could react, he had already climbed the city wall.
The long knife in his hand reflected the sunlight, dazzling incomparably, like a soul-hooking artifact, and after being raised and waved in a circle, a circle of people died.
With a single sword, the surrounding environment suddenly fell silent for a moment.
It's so scary, one knife and one circle!
After another slash, a soldier was split in half from the middle, along with the armor! Although some soldiers were really not afraid of death, this way of dying was too terrifying!
At this moment, Qu Da is wearing three layers of armor on his body, and the innermost layer is wearing a layer of carefully crafted chain mail, this kind of chain mail is still brought from other worlds, and more importantly, it is very light, it is too light.
The outermost layer is made of alloy, the steel armor is of excellent quality, even lighter than the iron armor at the beginning, and it is only 20 catties when the whole body is protected.
As for the armor and chain mail, it is wrapped in several layers of silk inside and out, which is equivalent to cloth armor, which can effectively defend against arrows.
Under the three layers of armor, Qu Da was like an invulnerable monster. Coupled with the long knife in his hand, where he passed was a head harvester, which was also a morale harvester, and wherever he went, the morale of the enemy army decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just a quarter of an hour later, more than half of the more than 1,000 soldiers on the walls were killed or wounded. Listening to the sound of the armistice war drums in his ears, Qu Da stopped killing in a bit of confusion.
Huiji County is vast and sparsely populated, and it looks very large on the map, but the total population is only more than 30,000 households, more than 300,000, and even if you add the hidden population of the nobles and magnates, it will not exceed 400,000 at most. With such a population, it is really common to raise 20,000 county soldiers.
Due to the particularity of today's times, the dispute between the north and the south has always been going on, and the north is not at ease with the south, and the imperial court is not at ease with the families in the south, so there are only 1,500 soldiers in the huge county town of Huiji.
Originally, there were more than that, but many more soldiers were transferred to the north during the third expedition to Goguryeo, and now they have all died on the battlefields in the north, and they have not had time to recover.
Moreover, due to the suppression of the south by the imperial court, the south cannot recruit soldiers on its own before the holy decree is issued, otherwise it will be rebellion or rebellion.
As a result, there is now such an extremely special situation, Huiji County, with a population of nearly 400,000, has only 1,500 soldiers, and only 1,000 people gathered on the city wall in a hurry.
Now 500 of them have died in this siege battle, and the remaining 500 have laid down their weapons and begun to surrender.
It's not that they didn't want to surrender earlier, but they didn't react at all, and more than half of them were killed and wounded in just a quarter of an hour, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, who would believe it?
At this moment, Qu Da took off his hat, and a large amount of sweat evaporated almost in a straight line. The big gulp of drinking was the light salt water that had been stored for a long time, but his expression was a little confused, and he subconsciously looked at the surrounding situation.
What the hell is going on, how is it over in a quarter of an hour, is there such a war? This is a population of 400,000, and it is not surprising that they mobilized 30,000 men and 30,000 healthy women, and then fought street battles for several days.
At night, Qu Da saw his old boss Meng Tian, and he felt that although he didn't understand the answer to this question, Meng Tian must know.
As for why Meng Tian knew, it was of course because Meng Tian was the king's personal guard, and even if Meng Tian didn't know, the king would definitely know.
Hearing Qu Da's question, Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction, being able to read and know how to ask questions is progress, what I am most afraid of is not knowing how to pretend to understand, or even if there is a question in my heart, I don't ask.
Insist on learning, never forget the original intention, and keep making progress, these words of Yingzheng Meng Tian have always been remembered.
"For various reasons, the main contradiction in the middle of the world has changed from the struggle for survival outside of Zhuxia and Zhuxia to the internal struggle within Zhuxia. ”
"The struggle between the central and local governments, the struggle between the Taishou and the county order, the struggle between the county order and the local heroes, the struggle between the Guanlong group and the southern Han family, the struggle between the emperor and the family, the struggle between the emperor and the powerful, the struggle between the emperor and the nobles, such as the mainstream today is infighting and infighting!"
"In such an environment, the life of ordinary people is extremely difficult, and people's eyes are only staring at their own one-third of an acre, as for looking outward, there are fewer and fewer people who open their eyes to see the world. ”
"So the arrival of Great Qin is very necessary, we are not here for invasion, not for war, not for plunder, but to save the people at the bottom. ”
"We are righteous, and we will be victorious. In the end, Meng Tian said firmly.
