Chapter 148: Murder and Heart
Huang Yuchen listened to the conversation between the two, but he felt a little inexplicable in his heart, and he didn't know what the two were talking about.
But there was a slight guess in his heart that the conversation between the two must be related to what he just asked, and the enemy arranged the formation outside the city lord, which was obviously aimed at his own group. But this formation was cracked by himself at the first time, and the enemy did not make the slightest move behind him.
According to the analysis of this line, the first thought is that the other party still has an ambush behind, but now that several people have safely entered the city lord's mansion and safely entered the granary, there is obviously no ambush on this road, so there is only one possibility left.
The crisis comes from within the Takefu.
Other words......
Thinking of this, Huang Yuchen looked around, hundreds of sergeants on the left and right, the water surrounding the granary could not be drained, and each of them did not leave his hand, and he was on guard.
That is to say...... The defenders in the arsenal, there is a problem. Huang Yuchen thought of this and had a conclusion in his heart.
The silent cooperation between Emperor Yuanwu and Yu Sheng can be regarded as solving the hidden dangers of the Wu Mansion, so many people are piled up in prison, it is impossible to say that there is not a bad person among them.
Now that the people in prison have been dealt with, there is only one thing left, and that is ...... Sergeant among the enemy in detail.
However, thinking of this, Huang Yuchen still had some doubts in his heart. According to Yu Sheng's previous statement, all the defenders in Dongxuan City had fought with Yu Sheng before, and none of them were newcomers. He fought on the battlefield for several years with the rest of his life, but he could also be rebelled by the enemy? Or were these people the enemy before they entered the Dongwangfu army?
Huang Yuchen didn't dare to think about it anymore, this matter was extremely scary, if this was the case, then the depth of the enemy's city was not something he could ponder.
"Herald. Huang Yuchen was pondering, but he heard Huang Yuanwu say softly: "The people on duty in the Wufu Mansion, except for the granary guards, the rest of the men and horses will all attack, go to all parts of the city to fight fires, appease the people, and kill them on the spot if they see someone who is a traitor." ”
"Honorable Order!" a herald immediately echoed, and his figure turned, and his steps were swift, and he walked out of the granary.
Huang Yuchen wanted to say something, but seeing that Yu Sheng and Huang Yuanwu were confident, he swallowed back the words on his lips.
He couldn't even see the situation clearly, and all he could do now was not to let the enemy use the formation to sneak attack, and the only thing he could do now was not to add to the chaos.
When the military order was issued, more than a dozen teams of sergeants who had originally stayed at the martial arts arena and the gate of the Wufu all attacked, scattered in small teams, and went to different fire sites.
At this time, the flames were blazing in Dongxuan City, but as more sergeants joined in the firefighting, the spread of the fire was controlled.
The twenty or thirty people who were hidden in Dongxuan City to prevent fire and kill people everywhere have been investigated and divided into five teams, but they are fighting on their own, and they don't look like people of the same force with each other. At this moment, several people had been discovered by the sergeants, and after the battle, all of them were killed.
In Dongxuan City, it was a mess, even if a lot of troublemakers were killed, but these people relied on their fast skills to set fire to half of the houses in Dongxuan City, and at this moment the streets were full of tired people, desperately fighting the fire. For a while, shouting, shouting, and roaring were incessant, and there was a lot of noise all around, and there was no order at all.
The sergeants desperately helped to put out the fire, extinguished one place, and immediately moved on to the next, without stopping.
The rest of the fine work is still circulating in the city, specially selecting the people who are tired of fighting the fire, and the knife is deadly.
According to rough estimates, in such a short period of time, there are no less than 100 innocent people who have been hacked and killed by this meticulous work. And the number of people who died in the fire is definitely not less than this number.
Several heralds passed the latest news to the granary from time to time, and Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng were expressionless, as if these things that happened were all expected by them.
It's just that when he heard that the enemy was wantonly slashing and killing the people, Huang Yuanwu obviously moved his breath, his anger surged, and his brows were furrowed, but he didn't say anything.
The enemy's goal is to cause chaos in the city, so that the soldiers in the city are exhausted and unable to take care of each other, and finally force Yu Sheng to send the last garrison force out, so that the Wufu or other places are empty, and then let them have a chance.
Knowing the enemy's purpose, there is nothing to worry about.
As the enemy outside continued to be discovered, surrounded and killed by sergeants, the new fire points in the city slowly decreased, and the fire was brought under control.
At dawn, the fire in the city has basically been extinguished, and the city is full of gunsmoke.
Huang Yuanwu sat in front of the granary and waited quietly all night, but he did not wait for the enemy's killing move to arrive, the enemy seemed to have prepared in advance, and did not intend to do anything to himself.
Frowning slightly, Huang Yuanwu sat on the Taishi chair, looking at the bright light of the dawn in the sky, and his mind was flying.
Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen also wondered in their hearts, they were well prepared, waiting for the enemy to attack, why did the enemy not attack the granary, and the fine work hidden in the sergeant did not move.
Why is the enemy so arranged?
After two days of martial law investigation, after burning and looting last night and night, in addition to the death of many people in Dongxuancheng and the destruction of half of the houses, there was no essential harm to Huang Yuanwu and Dongxuancheng. Could it be that the enemy put so much effort and mobilized so many people to make them come out and commit suicide?
Thinking into a freeze, several people thought left and right, but they couldn't figure out the enemy's purpose.
They did not storm the Wufu and burn down the granary, nor did they attack the city gate and break the gate, let alone kill the sergeants.
This night, the only thing they did was to wantonly burn, kill, loot, and kill the people in Dongxuan City.
A battle in the Martial Arts Mansion seemed to be a killing move arranged by the enemy, but after it was easily resolved by its own side, there was no follow-up method.
Judging from the reported news, the evil workers outside were not a powerful person, but were divided into five teams, but these five teams did exactly the same thing, none of the teams approached the arsenal, and none of them ever approached the city gate.
At dawn, the city of Dongxuan was in shambles, and the flames had been extinguished, but the burned houses on the streets and the people who had been cut down could be seen everywhere.
In the final madness, the evildoers no longer hid their figures, but went straight to the people, slashing and killing indiscriminately, causing a large number of casualties. According to rough statistics, on this night, there were hundreds of people who were directly cut and killed. If you count the people who died in the fire and those who died in the accident, the night passed, and the people of Dongxuan City were killed and wounded, about 2,000 people.
2,000 people is not much for the 200,000 people in Dongxuancheng. But the enemy can enter the city so wantonly to burn, kill and loot, but the entire people of Dongxuan City, everyone is in danger.
At dawn, the city was in a state of gloom, and all the people could no longer sit still in their homes, so they took to the streets to help clean up the burned houses and collect the remains of the slain.
In the process, there was silence.
Huang Yuanwu ordered that except for a small number of guards who remained in the granary, the rest of the people were counted out to help the people clean up the wreckage. And he, standing at the door of the arsenal, looked at the black smoke rising in the distance, and the mess, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Several groups of sergeants passed in front of them, and after two days of high-intensity patrols, coupled with the rush in the fire last night, most of the sergeants were exhausted, and some of them collapsed by the time they walked by.
Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu immediately ordered the sergeant who had been patrolling and participated in the fire extinguishing last night to rest immediately and recover his vitality.
But for some reason, this order was lost in the sea, and no sergeant listened to it.
Everyone seemed to be caught in a cycle, silently walking the streets, helping the people clean up the dilapidated houses, carrying out the remains of those who died in the fire, and calming the people's emotions.
The entire Dongxuancheng defenders, at this moment, are demoralized.
A thick sadness shrouded the sky over the entire Dongxuan City, like a thick dark cloud, which could not be blown away.
At this moment, Huang Yuanwu suddenly understood the enemy's intentions.
They didn't want to take away their seals, nor did they want to burn down the granaries, they thought the enemy too simply.
"Murder and punishment ......" Huang Yuanwu said a few words silently, and glanced back at Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen, both of whom frowned, and their faces sank like water.
When Huang Yuanwu's orders were not carried out, they understood.
Last night's frenzied killing and wanton fire prevention was not to kill for the sake of killing, nor to escape from the ascension, but to ...... Heart-wrenching.
The upper army is attacking the heart, the middle soldier is attacking a certain one, and the lower army is attacking.
With such a superior measure, the enemy used the least cost, causing the morale of the entire Dongxuancheng to be low, and inflicting an immeasurable psychological blow to the people of Dongxuancheng.
These are much more powerful than directly burning the grain depot in Dongxuancheng.
Got it, so what's that?
The cleverness of the other party lies in the fact that even if you understand, there is nothing you can do.
Huang Yuanwu and the rest of his life want to respond to all changes with the same, but the other party is hiding in the shadows, but he wants to protect such a big city, and under the premise of not being able to detect the other party's purpose and not grasping the living, what he has done at present is the limit.
If last night, the Emperor Yuanwu sent out a sergeant to fight the fire, the ultimate goal would be the same.
If you don't do it in the first place, it's too late.
But if this is done in the first place, the current situation may not be as good as it is now.
"Such a clever trick to play with you and me in the palm of your hand...... Brother Yu...... This person ......" Huang Yuanwu glanced back at Yu Sheng, his face sinking like water.
Yu Sheng didn't say a word, frowned, and sighed softly.
He and Huang Yuanwu only saw each other, and they had to cooperate tacitly. The ability for the rest of his life is not strong, he has calculated almost all the possibilities, but now he is facing the situation helplessly.
"Let's go. Huang Yuanwu whispered softly and strode forward.
The only thing we can do now is to lead by example, stand on the front line, and boost our morale to the greatest extent.
Because this crisis has not been resolved, a kind of sergeant has dispersed, and they have gone everywhere to appease the people, the arsenal is empty, and he did not go with Huang Yuanwu for the rest of his life.
He must remain in the arsenal and guard the granary.
Huang Yuchen silently followed Huang Yuanwu and walked on the messy Dongxuancheng Avenue, feeling sad in his heart.
"This is the battle of empires...... The people of Li are like grass mustard ......"
