The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 70

[Chapter 70: Under Wudu County]

Taking advantage of the previous momentum of pacifying Hanzhong County, all the recruits had great confidence in their combat effectiveness.

Think that under their command, they will be invincible and invincible.

The army was majestic all the way, crossed the Keigu Pass with high spirits, and stepped into the territory of Wudu County.

Now that I have 25,000 soldiers and horses, I don’t need to be secretive like before, and I dare not let others find out.

Completely upright, he drove his troops off the road.

All the people along the way fled.

Three days later, the army arrived at the first county seat in Wudu County, Ju County.

The army stretched all the way, and even became a dragon that was several miles long.

Looking out from the city wall, I saw a patch of red and blue ants all over the mountains and plains.

That ant was loyal to the innumerable army. Seeing this battle, the magistrate of Ju County wisely ordered Kaesong to surrender.

There are only less than 300 of his fighting strength in the city, how can he stop this seemingly innumerable army!

As for defending the city and being loyal to the imperial court, don’t even think about it, the magistrate will expel all such thoughts from his mind.

What are you kidding?

The reason to be the county magistrate is to get enough money, not the ridiculous idea of being loyal to the country.

However, even if the magistrate surrendered, he thought that he would forgive him, and even let him continue to be the magistrate was impossible.

He has enough people to rule the entire county, and when there was no talent before, he killed all of them in Hanzhong County.

Now that there are enough luck points in the army, it is even more impossible to let go of those worms.

The food obtained in the Hanzhong Army before can even support the 100,000-strong army of food and grass for a year.

The obtained weapons and equipment can earn an army of more than 10,000, which is a terrifying number.

If those nobles really unite in advance, then they will definitely die without a place to be buried. How can they leave such hidden dangers in their own territory now!

The army swarmed, and the entire county, including the gathering places of various gentry in the countryside, was swept away by their own army like the autumn wind swept the leaves.

Without a trace of foam, it was completely submerged in the sea of people.

Leaving some people to guard in the county seat, the army continued to advance and came to the second largest city in Wudu County, Hechi County.

This county is also considered one of the best in Wudu County, with a permanent population of 2,000, and there are 500 guards in the county.

But these are of no use. His army has arrived, and the county magistrate directly opened the city to surrender, and then he was a troubled county again.

On the tenth day of his departure from Wudu County, he arrived under the county seat of Wudu County.

Since he did not cover up his whereabouts along the way, nor could he cover up, how could it be so easy to hide the whereabouts of tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, the governor of Wudu County knew about himself early and the news of the attack on Wudu County.

There are seven county towns under the jurisdiction of Wudu County, with a population of 80,000.

In addition to the two counties he occupied, there are five counties in the whole county, which are under the control of the county governor.

Gather all the troops of the whole county and bring them into the county seat.

By the time Zhong Yu arrived under the county seat, there were already 5,000 troops in the entire city.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of these armies is not very good. They don’t usually train very much, and they haven’t experienced any major wars. There are even many people who are temporary farmers. What kind of combat effectiveness can you expect from those armies!

The low morale couldn’t be lower. At that time, it was still possible to move stones on the city wall, deal with logistics and wave the flag, at least the momentum looked a lot more majestic.

After taking a closer look, I found that the army in the city was not very good, at least its morale was much lower than that of my own army.

The recruits on my side at least dare to go on the battlefield to fight against the enemy, and the army on the opposite side can only say that they are above the city wall, and they don’t even dare to take their heads.

In this way, the gap came out, and the equipment on his side was much better than theirs, and everyone had a leather armor.

The people on the other side can only wear a cloth, and some people don’t even have a cloth, so they can only find a piece of cloth to wrap the vital parts of the body.

Now that you have determined that the other party is not as good as you, then you are welcome.

Immediately ordered, the whole army stormed, and what new recruits were strong soldiers to take the lead.

“Kill, do it all to me. Those who climb the city wall first will enjoy hundreds of acres of land, and if you take a step back, you will be killed.” Then, under the coercion of the 2,000 soldiers of the system, the 2,500-strong first echelon of the siege team The recruits had to bite the bullet and rushed up.

When the soldiers in the city saw others rushing towards them, they raised their bows and arrows in their hands under the shouts of their superiors and shot them down indiscriminately.

Although the hit rate is not very high, at least he has thousands of bows and arrows, and he still caused dozens of casualties for a while.

This made the group of recruits who had just entered the battlefield and had not seen much blood stagnated for a while and shrunk.

The supervising team behind saw the performance of the recruits, and immediately came up to a hundred people, cut them directly from the back of the group of recruits, and fluttered, hundreds of heads fell off, the group of recruits looked back, and their faces suddenly turned white. .

“Your Majesty has an order, advance and you will live, if you retreat, you will die. If you don’t stand still, you will be killed!” After saying these murderous words, he looked at the recruits ahead fiercely, as if he was looking at one who was only waiting. like a slaughtered lamb.

The group of recruits did not expect that these supervising teams were so ruthless, and they killed hundreds of him at once, more than the people on the city wall shot arrows.

He couldn’t help but rush forward with resentment and anger in his heart.

They had nowhere to vent their anger and fear in their hearts. They could only obey the order and carried the ladder to the city wall. Along the way, arrows fell like rain, and boulders rolled down.

It can be said that for every step forward, more than a dozen people will die.

But after all, it was not far from the city wall. After a few breaths, he came to the foot of the city wall and put the ladder on the city wall.

As for the hundreds of people who died along the way, everyone on both sides ignored them.

No one would care about the thoughts of these dead people, not to mention that in the eyes of the top brass on both sides, these soldiers are just cannon fodder for sacrifice.

Soon, a soldier climbed the city wall. He seemed very happy in his heart, and his face showed joy.

Just now, the lord ordered that the first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fields. As soon as he comes up, the 100 acres of fields will enter his household.

Unfortunately, he was not too happy, and soon the guards of the surrounding city wall surrounded him, and a few spears stabbed him off the city wall.

But once one person climbs the city wall, more people will get there. As the siege echelon is replaced one after another, it will soon be the ninth team’s turn from the ten-round echelon.

At this time, there were very few guards standing on the city wall. There were only more than 1,000 of the original 5,000 people. However, it is undeniable that although these remaining people were injured, the fierce expression in their eyes was undoubtedly Show that they are elite.

They have experienced life and death, and they see all dangers and wars very lightly, and even form an intuition in their hearts, which can predict the arrival of danger.

But their physical strength could not keep up after a day’s consumption, and Zhong Yu still had a new force of 2,500 people.

With the loss of more than half of the people in the ninth echelon, they retreated, and the tenth echelon received the order and slowly pressed up.

This last batch of siege troops, although a little apprehensive and fearful on their faces, are more excited. Above the city wall, those people seem to be unable to support it. As long as they work harder, they will seize the city The first credit is his own team.

Going up to the tenth echelon is like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

After supporting for a while, the remaining guards finally couldn’t help but rout.

Afterwards, there was a long-awaited chase, and the entire county town became a vent for Zhong Yu’s heavy losses.

All kinds of dehumanizing things are happening in it, massacres, looting, *even all kinds of things, others can’t think of, but the atrocities they have committed are also happening.

The ugliness of human nature is fully reflected in this moment.
