Chapter 18: Stunning Woman
Xiao Hongtao and their pro-soldiers and horses walked very slowly, and the closer they got to Yizhou City, the slower they walked. After a huge breach in the walls was blown open, most of the defenders lost the will to resist, and what happened was no longer war, but massacre.
Xiao Hongtao's subordinates are all battle-hardened veterans, which means that they will be brave when they should be brave, they will be desperate when they should be desperate, and they will run faster than anyone else when they should escape. Wei Jiang's cavalry almost rushed into Yizhou City with a speed of 100 meters of sprint, with a huge potential energy rushing down from a high place to kill the defenders in Yizhou City, the panicked defenders of Yizhou City were in chaos, and they lost their ability to resist in a short period of time, and they were completely in a situation of being chased and slaughtered.
At the same time as the massacre of the defenders of Yizhou City, the cavalry of Wei Jiang also began to set fire to it intentionally or unintentionally, which had the greatest advantage of taking advantage of the fire and smoke to loot property, and it was conducive to eliminating the evidence of robbery.
While the cavalry of Wei Jiang was busy setting fire to and looting property, the infantry who followed up also arrived, and similarly, they quickly joined the action of setting fire and looting property. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, and the people suffer, this is almost a historical inevitability, but this is also something that Xiao Hongtao is unwilling to face.
The closer he got to the city, the more intense the impact of the wailing and firelight in the city, Xiao Hongtao didn't like this feeling, he didn't like to kill people, and he didn't like to rob other people's money, but he had no choice but to be the head of the killing team.
Xiao Hongtao originally wanted to stop the team's murderous and arsonous behavior, but after thinking about it, even if his own troops didn't do it, Chai Rong's troops would do it, and the final result was the same, so Xiao Hongtao chose to be silent, and similarly, he and his own soldiers' horse team also walked slower and slower.
When Xiao Hongtao entered the city, Chai Rong's troops had already broken through the west gate and entered the city. Yes, Chai Rong's troops broke through the West Gate by themselves, because Xiao Hongtao's troops were busy killing people, setting fires and robbing things, and they didn't have time to open the West Gate. The west gate was burned open by fire by Chai Rong's troops. Soon after Chai Rong's troops entered the city, the east gate and the south gate were also breached one after another, and Chai Rong's troops all entered the city.
When Chai Rong entered the city in a chariot, Xiao Hongtao and his soldiers had just arrived at the West Gate. Seeing Xiao Hongtao, Chai Rong was in a good mood, and beckoned Xiao Hongtao to get on his chariot and walk with him.
Xiao Hongtao didn't want to go up, he was in a bad mood, the first time he faced the war, the first time he broke through the city, he originally thought that he would have the joy of a successful person, but now, in the face of the corpses all over the city, his heart was full of guilt. However, after he rejected Chai Rong, Chai Rong actually stepped out of the chariot in person, smiled and walked straight to Xiao Hongtao. In order to show respect, Xiao Hongtao hurriedly dismounted and took two steps forward. Coming to Xiao Hongtao's side, Chai Rong said: "The third brother is the first hero of the siege, if I treat the third brother slowly, all the soldiers will be cold, who can be born and die with me Chai Rong in the future." ”
Xiao Hongtao hurriedly shook his head and said: "The saint is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how dare the younger brother ride with the eldest brother, this is not good!"
"Hey," Chai Rong dragged out his voice, "That's all a false name, without a right-hand man like the third brother, where will there be my country, haha, the third brother shouldn't shirk." After speaking, Chai Rong took Xiao Hongtao's arm and walked to the chariot. Helpless, Xiao Hongtao had no choice but to follow Chai Rong into the chariot.
When Xiao Hongtao boarded the chariot, he stretched out an arm from the chariot to pull Xiao Hongtao, Xiao Hongtao took advantage of the situation to hold the deep hand, when he held it, Xiao Hongtao felt that this hand was surprisingly soft, he was puzzled, looked up, and found that it was a woman wearing armor who stretched out his hand to pull him. Damn, this is too extravagant, and you still have a handmaid with you in the war. Xiao Hongtao looked at the maidservant, then at Chai Rong, and thought, how colorful are you, and you still take women with you in the war.
Chai Rong didn't notice Xiao Hongtao's eyes, he was very happy today, his face was full of smiles, his long-standing wish was finally about to be fulfilled, and his heart was full of excitement and excitement.
Xiao Hongtao's height is a head taller than Chai Rong, and he stands on the chariot with Chai Rong, obviously overpowering Chai Rong in momentum. The two men stood on the chariot and marched through the city, and when the soldiers on the road saw the chariot, they fell to the ground and kowtowed, waiting for the chariot to pass before continuing to loot the property.
"Don't!" Suddenly, a woman's mournful cry came from the left side of the street, Xiao Hongtao looked to the left, and saw a woman with loose hair and bare shoulders staggering out.
"Don't run, let's just have fun. The woman was followed by several soldiers dressed in Chai Rong's troop clothes, all with * on their faces.
The woman saw a chariot and saw a glimmer of hope, ran to the front of the chariot, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Help, sir!"
When the soldiers who were originally following behind saw Chai Rong, they looked panicked, and they also knelt beside the chariot, shouting one after another: "Holy forgiveness." ”
Looking at the woman kneeling in front of the chariot, and then at the soldiers kneeling next to him, Chai Rong's face was slightly unhappy, and he asked the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, "Which general's subordinate are you?"
Among those soldiers, there was a leading fat man, who half-raised his head and said in the direction of Chai Rong's chariot: "Holy Lord, we are General Zhao's subordinates."
"Oh, Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates?" Chai Rong paused for a moment, and then said, "After the incident, don't hurt her life." ”
When the soldier lying on the ground heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you." Then he got up and pulled the woman.
"Holy Lord, this is not appropriate. Seeing that the soldiers were going to pull the woman, Xiao Hongtao almost blurted out this sentence.
Chai Rong turned around, looked at Xiao Hongtao, and said, "What does the third brother think?" ”
Xiao Hongtao said: "Saint, you have always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, this Yizhou City has been breached, and the people of Yizhou will definitely be your people in the future, how can you ignore the suffering of the people of Yizhou City?"
Chai Rong looked at Xiao Hongtao incredulously, Xiao Hongtao also looked at Chai Rong at this time, his eyes were full of resistance, and the scene became embarrassing for a while.
"Haha, the third brother is right. While a trace of anger appeared on his face, Chai Rong laughed loudly, and then said to the few people kneeling on the ground: "It's not that I can't fulfill you, it's that the third brother can't fulfill you." ”
Several soldiers who were already pulling the woman heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with their heads bowed.
Chai Rong said again: "Let me ask you, what are your names?"
"My name is Sun Qing", "My name is Song Mao", "My name is Liu Tong", "My name is Niu Chongjiu", the soldiers kneeling on the ground reported their names one after another.
After hearing their names, Chai Rong smiled again and asked, "Today, I guess I'm going to ruin your good deeds, do you hate me?"
"Don't hate, don't hate. "If you say you hate the emperor, you're not looking for death.
"Well, good" Chai Rong nodded and ordered loudly: "Come on, drag these people away and cut them down!" Chai Rong's personal soldiers heard the order, and dragged these soldiers aside very neatly, and directly cut off their heads, and the whole process of cutting off their heads did not take more than ten seconds.
Things were developing too fast, Xiao Hongtao didn't understand what was going on at all, he thought that Chai Rong would drive those soldiers away and it would be over, but he didn't expect to kill them all after asking the names.
Chai Rong smiled at Xiao Hongtao and said meaningfully: "Third brother, they don't dare to hate me, but they will definitely hate you." ”
