Chapter 251: Breaking the City
Gao Zhong stood on the edge of the city gate, took off the leather helmet he had picked up, and put on his own helmet exclusive to Long Xiangwei, which could not be forgotten, and of course, the mask of the demon full of energy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Listen, everyone, remember, we have to chase everything that can be driven away, don't waste our energy chasing those who run away, just cut down those who can't run, and remember not to touch any corpses, do you hear?"
"Obey!" more than seventy people roared angrily, responding to Gao Pet's order.
"Ah Pet, why can't the corpse be touched?" Shao Yuan didn't follow to kill, he was more interested in Gao Pet's words.
Through the mask, Shao Yuan couldn't see Gao Pet's expression, but heard the voice collide with the cold mask and make a special sound, "Because of the plague, it can only be burned, not buried, so it can't be touched, let's kill it."
A group of 'evil ghosts' with blood from the city gate to kill the city, originally the city is resting wounded soldiers, some of the weaker soldiers have been because of the poisoned arrows of the high pet fever and fatigue to varying degrees, in the face of the tiger wolf Han soldiers are simply powerless to fight. Originally, the number of the Huns was much larger than that of the Han army, but because during the day, they had been frightened by the Han army, and when they were going to have a good rest, they suddenly heard that the Han army was killing and running, how could they still keep calm, and immediately the city was in chaos, and their only idea was to seize the horse and flee.
When there are not enough people, the first goal is not to kill people, but to cause a large enough riot to make others think that you have a lot of people, under the instructions of this principle, the first thing the Han army to do is to set fire, this fire is not a simple fire, in addition to causing a commotion in the camp, it is also a signal.
Wu Xu led the remaining Han army to ambush in the woods three miles away, but saw the fire rising slightly in the distance, so he immediately called "Pass the order, the target is the place where the fire started, Shule City!"
More than 4,000 allied troops roared out of the woods and rushed to the city of Shule.
A number of torches had been set up in the city, and the interior had been completely chaotic, and the Hun soldiers could no longer control so much, and even fought with each other in order to grab a horse that could run, while the Han army that went first gave way for them to rush out of the city and not pursue them.
After half a kill, Wu Xu also rushed into the city with his troops to exterminate those fish that slipped through the net, and the 4,000 Han troops carried out an annihilation operation in the city against the Huns who could not escape. However, those who stayed were all sick and disabled, and there was no resistance to the Han army. By dawn, the fire in the city had been extinguished, and all the Huns who had not died were tied hand and foot, as far as the outside of the city.
The official residence in the city was still thick with dust, and it didn't seem to have been activated, so a group of coalition generals discussed here to discuss how to deploy next.
Gao Zhong sat in front of the hall, "immediately send someone to fetch some quicklime, smoke it all over the city, and can't let go of any place, this was the place where the plague patients stayed, we must be careful in everything, and all the soldiers who have come into contact with the plague patients will be next door, so that they can be taken care of"
A herald took the order.
The next thing is the turn of the captain to come out, "My lord, the last general has ordered people to patrol the defense of Shule City, the city wall is not damaged, but there is a lack of materials in this city, and the Huns have not left much grain, grass and arrows with us, if you immediately transfer food from Pei Shan, this city can be defended"
Gao Zhong nodded, "Very good, Lord Du Protector, the task of transferring grain and grass to Shule will trouble you, Captain, after you return to Pei Shan at dawn to rest, you and His Royal Highness the Prince will set off for the Blue Mansion to guard the West Mountain Pass as soon as possible."
The envoys and captains of the Western Regions all came out to receive the order: "No!"
The prince of Lanlou can be regarded as experiencing the combat effectiveness of the Han army in this battle, but they also contributed a lot in Lanlou, so they have to take some 'battle exploits' back to show off. "Unknown general, what should we do with the Hun soldiers outside the city?"
Gao Zhong looked at the prince and shook his head with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there are hundreds of more valuable royal court guards under Pei Shan City, and there are countless corpses along the road, but those heads outside can't be taken."
The prince thought that Gao Zhong would not give them military merits, so he asked in an unkind tone, "Why is this?
Gao Zhong nodded, "Exactly, those soldiers are very likely to be plague patients, but the plague can still survive for a period of time even if the person has died, and it cannot be buried, it can only be burned.
His Royal Highness the Prince looked surprised: "Why do you know that they have plague?"
Gao Chong smiled slightly, "Because it was the bait I released that forced them to get sick, which is why His Royal Highness the Prince came down to Pei Shan for so long, and the Huns came to attack with a brigade of tired divisions"
The Prince of the Blue Mansion once again felt that this great Han Grim Reaper was completely disregarding the enemy's life, and he knew that he couldn't provoke this person, otherwise God knew that a plague would suddenly break out?
Gao Pet stood up, "Everyone, come with me to walk outside the city, someone has to put this fire"
The generals walked outside the city, only to see that in a big pit outside the city, the corpses and the undead Hun soldiers had slowed down, and the undead Hun soldiers were full of fear, they were afraid of this big pit, afraid of this sense of trapped beasts, and they were punished by God and ushered in fear again.
Gao Chong stood on the side, the soldiers on the side were all veiled, everyone was holding torches, and they would burn all this when Gao Chong gave an order.
Many soldiers thought that Gao Chong was coming, just to prepare for execution, but after a long time, Gao Chong didn't speak, and Shaoyuan, who had been standing beside Gao Chong, also wondered, "Ah Chong, why don't you give the order?"
I saw Gao Pet standing aside silently, just looking up at the sky, as if he was looking at something, the night had come to an end, the east had spit out a touch of fish belly white, and most of the stars had dissipated. There are only a few particularly bright stars left.
"There are no stars, what are you still looking at?" Shao Yuan once again woke up Gao Pet in confusion.
Gao Zhong let out a soft laugh, "Shaoyuan, it is said that those who die will become stars in the sky, you said that there are so many people here, will there be many stars in the sky tomorrow night?"
Shaoyuan rolled his eyes, "Are you thinking about this? Forget it, I Zhang Bashan's stubble, I didn't feel so many stars, why, killing so many people with my own hands, it's uncomfortable?"
Gao Pet shook his head, lit the rocket, cut through the sky and landed on the pit with the morning light, lit a thick oil and ignited a raging fire. "No," Gao Pet smiled as always, and then turned to leave.
The soldiers on the side also threw down their torches to help ignite the pit.
In the pit, I remembered the terrible cry, which was the heart-rending pain caused by the burning of their flesh and skin, and not long after, suddenly there was a smell of meat, and the soldiers who had fought all night were very hungry, but when they thought of what the fire burned, the stomachs of the people stirred, and made a sign of gagging.
Shaoyuan pushed Gao Pet, and also beckoned the onlookers to the generals, "Go back, go back, there's nothing to see here."
Gao Zhong was pushed back to the city by Shaoyuan, thinking about what Shicai saw himself, "Why is it sparse and broken, but the star is dimmed by the pearl, could it be that something happened?"
