Zhengyang seven years, the end of the year.

The Northwest Army of Ye and the Yuyun Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty broke through the former Shu capital, Gyeongju.

Whether it is Yu Yunjun or the Northwest Army, in fact, they are not Wang Shi in the real sense.

The reason for this is nothing more than the style of these two armies.

Generally speaking, what a king in the true sense of the word must have is a righteous appearance, and he must also have a rigorous atmosphere that ordinary armies do not have.

However, both the Northwest Army and the Yuyun Army were bandit legions known for slaughtering cities and villages.

They are a group of bandits, and no matter where they are, the main goal of both armies is to slaughter the city.

Even after entering Gyeongju, the two armies had no intention of reining in.

The two armies entered the city from the north and south sides of Gyeongju, and along the way, whether it was soldiers or civilians, without exception, once they appeared in front of them, they would immediately turn into dead souls.

Gyeongju ......

This former capital of Shu.

This place, which used to be the most royal capital in the world, has now turned into a hell on earth.

Everywhere in the city, the screams of the people could be heard, and the cries of children could be heard everywhere.

It wasn't until later that the people gradually discovered that although these two armies were murderous, they did not besiege the east and west.

It was as if they had completely forgotten about this side, so they began to flee in droves towards the east and west gates.

But in reality, they might not notice this?

This is just a wordless tacit understanding between the Northwest Army and Yu Yunjun.

Although both armies are butcher armies known for slaughtering cities and villages, they also understand the truth of opening up the net and even opening up the net.

Once the city gates on both sides are closed, the direct consequence will be that the people in the city will have the determination to break the net and the former Shu soldiers in the city will fight to the death, which is not a good thing for the two armies.

Rather than this, it is better to completely empty these two sides and let the people on these two sides escape.

When people have a way to live, they will naturally think about fleeing for their lives, rather than choosing to resist desperately.

Moreover, the people fled, and the psychological defense line of the defenders in the city was bound to be dealt a heavy blow.

After all, even the people are gone, and the king is not in the palace, why are they fighting?

And why are you fighting?

Now the former Shu soldiers are facing such an embarrassment, and the guards stationed in the palace have no intention of resisting.

Before the Northwest Army and Yu Yunjun arrived, the palace of the former Shu King was already in chaos, and some palace maids and servants began to pack up the gold and silver, and even some people dared to break into the room of the master they served to rob the silver, and even dragged the young palace people into the corridor.

The whole palace was in chaos, only Prime Minister Dong Chengwen, Taifu Fan Chengzhen, General Zhao Wutao, General Zhao Chengzhong and a few other former Shu ministers were in the main hall and sat quietly.

These are all die-hard factions of the former Shu.

It is only when the country is in danger that it can be seen who is the most loyal to the country......

Dong Chengwen's face was full of gloom, looking at the ceiling, and said with a bitter face: "I miss my Dashu, an army of 600,000, but I was defeated by this mere 200,000 people in a month, ridiculous, really ridiculous......"

Zhao Wutao smiled bitterly: "But in the prime minister's mouth, there are only 200,000 people, all of them are warriors in a hundred battles, and I have been without war in Dashu for 20 years, and the veterans who have experienced the war are all dead and wounded, how can there be a few people who can compete with them......"

The general of a country should be the one with the most intense thoughts of resisting the enemy, but at this time, he only had the idea of dying for the country.

"You are a general of our country, shouldn't you think about how to resist to the death?"

At this time, a minister stood up through gritted teeth and said, "Could it be that the enemy is strong, is it an excuse for you to defeat the battle, and now you are all beaten to the capital, and even invade the palace immediately?"

The minister looked at Zhao Wutao, then at Zhao Chengzhong, his face was full of anger, and said: "I, Dashu, will be defeated in the hands of your father and son, but as long as you have some backbone, you can't get to this point today." ”

"If you lose, it's my father and son's head?"

Zhao Wutao raised his eyebrows and looked at the minister, and then smiled: "Defeat is defeat, do I need to find an excuse?"

"I think you're a traitor!"

The minister pointed at Zhao Wutao's nose and scolded: "The dignified Shu, 600,000 troops, but under the control of your father and son, it is not as good as a group of pigs with combat effectiveness." ”

"Do you believe I'm going to kill you right now?"

Zhao Wutao can bear it, but his son Zhao Chengzhong can't bear it.

Zhao Chengzhong jumped up and shouted: "I don't even bother to talk to you, but what you said today is too much." ”

"Excessive?"

"The 200,000 army is in your hands, and you are asked to go to the northern front to build a defensive line, but how do you do it?"

The minister smiled coldly and said: "Within a few days, it will be easily defeated by 200,000 people of the Northwest Army, even if there are 200,000 pigs standing on that defensive line, it is impossible for the Northwest Army to catch it in a few days!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chengzhong's face flushed with anger, but he couldn't find the slightest reason to refute......

How could he refute it?

What he said was true......

He was originally a defender of the Northern Front, and personally led 200,000 sergeants to pull up a defensive line on the Northern Front to resist the attack of the Northwest Army.

But those 200,000 people, like wheat harvested in autumn, were defeated by the Northwest Army within a few days.

When he didn't see the Northwest Army, he still thought that his 200,000 people, not to mention annihilating the other party, but the defense of the city could at least withstand it, right?

But who would have thought that the catapults that could throw stone bullets hundreds of paces, the city-breaking crossbow that could pierce through the city walls, and the eight-spear army-breaking crossbow that could pierce more than a dozen or even dozens of soldiers on his side with just one shot, were all unseen and unheard of by him.

Not to mention the ** bag that can blow up the city walls......

He saw with his own eyes that the soldiers of the Northwest Army charged one by one with ** bags, blew the city gate to pieces, and carried a terrifying long knife Modao heavy armored cavalry into the city, and then began to slaughter the city.

The former Shu Army and the Northwest Army were not at the same level at all, and the two armies could only be beaten when they met.

And without his experience, Gyeongju probably wouldn't have held out until five days at all.

It was he who ordered the four gates to be closed after his return, so that the gates were not blown up.

It was also he who ordered the evacuation of the people and soldiers along the city walls, which greatly reduced the power of the trebuchet.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for him, Gyeongju City would have been breached a few days ago.

Zhao Wutao sighed, raised his hand and patted Zhao Chengzhong's shoulder, and sighed: "Child, don't talk about it, your hard work, it's enough for your father to understand." ”

"Understood?"

"Got a fart!"

The minister continued to sneer: "As a former Shu general, I don't want to resist thieves for the country, but I play a father-son relationship here, why don't you go to the troupe, why do you come to this royal court to harm people?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wutao also smiled bitterly.

If there were no people chattering in front of the king in Qianshu.

If Qianshu could unite with Qi two years ago to jointly resist the Ye-Jin coalition army, or jointly attack Qi with Ye-Jin, can he still have this scene in Qianshu today?

Isn't everything that these people keep saying that they are doing for the good of the country?

"Resistance?"

"What resistance?"

Without waiting for Zhao Wutao to speak, Fan Chengzhen on the side spoke.

He knows Ye Guo the best, and he is also the only person in the audience who has seen Chu Yujia and Ye King Zhao Kuan.

He knew the temperament of these two people too well, and he knew the Northwest Army even better.

"Just use the palace as a few thousand palace guards?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand a single charge from the enemy. ”

Fan Chengzhen sighed: "Rather than this, it is better to let these people walk, why take your life in vain......

He has resigned himself to his fate......
