The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 97

[Chapter 96 Shutdown]

“Kill, fame and fortune are in front of you, take that person’s head, and seal his wife and Yinzi!” A group of soldiers rushed towards the city wall at the instigation of their superiors.

Those who have never been a soldier at the bottom will never be able to experience that desire to climb up.

They have been continuously exploited by landlords and officials since they were civilians.

And at any time, they may be used by those who are officials, or those aristocratic young masters who are unhappy as the object of venting their anger, and the safety of life cannot be guaranteed.

As for the laws of the Han Dynasty, they were used to restrain the peasants at the bottom.

Use a reasonable excuse to let them obey the government, pay taxes to the government, squeeze every bit of value on them, and make them take it for granted.

And it is used to protect the nobles and the government after bullying the commoners, and they can get an effective protection, and they are also given the name of righteousness, so that the common people who resist will fall into a morally disadvantaged position.

After joining the army, he became an ordinary soldier in the Han Dynasty.

On weekdays, he practiced every day. Although he had food every day, he was barely able to fill his stomach, and he looked like he was 80 percent full.

However, in the past few years, there have been many wars, and there have been natural and man-made disasters everywhere. In the past few years, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and they have to continue to sell their lives.

The comrades who joined the army together back then had forty or fifty people from the same village, but now I don’t know if there are three or four of them. I saw that all the corpses in the surrounding Tongze were thrown into the wilderness and buried in a foreign country.

These soldiers must say in their hearts that there is no sadness in the death of a rabbit and a fox, and they feel the same, and they don’t believe it when they say it.

Now, they received a message from their generals before the war that the first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and the official will be promoted to one level.

And other awards will be honored immediately after the war without delay.

This kind of promise is not usually unobtainable, anyway, since they joined the army, they have never seen such a promise.

According to their gossip, it is said that the army outside Guanwai Yuguo is privately like their current leader, Guo Cheng, the captain of Anguo, who made a promise to help them break the city. ‘s country.

At first, many people didn’t believe it. As far as our Han Dynasty was concerned, the alliance of white horses that was made openly by the non-Liu family to attack the world together, how could people from outside make a plan to give their own territory to their subordinates? action!

However, many cases later explained to them that the reason why so many counties and counties outside them surrendered was because they were seduced by the temptation to seal the country.

And after that, the Emperor of the Imperial Kingdom did not break his promise, and he fulfilled it on the spot.

Therefore, the soldiers in the checkpoint all believed in the oath made by their captain, and thought that their captain would not joke about the feudal kingdom he almost got.

What should I do if the soldiers in the irritated level provoke a mutiny?

At that time, not only will I worry about my own life, but even the feudal country that I have obtained will be blown away!

After this mobilization and temptation, all the soldiers rushed towards the city wall with envy, and killed the enemy army who thought it was living merit, money, status and wealth in front of them.

For a time, the soldiers of the Han army, who were originally not very good in combat effectiveness and morale, burst into a burst, and all of a sudden rushed to the city wall less than five meters high, and climbed up the cloud ladder in a continuous manner.

Even if someone fell, or was killed by the defenders above the city wall, the rest of the people didn’t care, and instead rushed up more desperately and bravely.

For a time, the guards of the city wall were in jeopardy, and the insufficient heatstroke prevention materials were exhausted at this moment, and the people on the city wall could only fight in person.

At this moment, the geographical advantage of the city defenders was infinitely lowered.

The city wall was not high, and without the assistance of long-range attacks, the well-prepared rebels climbed the city wall in two or three strokes, which can be said to be effortless.

But within an hour, more than 3,000 defenders on the entire city wall were killed without leaving behind.

Only the remaining two or three hundred people who were left behind retreated and defended in the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Another half an hour later, with the last two or three hundred people, all of them died in battle.

In the city, Lu Zhi, another general of more than a dozen loyal men, committed suicide in the main hall.

Carefully dispatched troops to clean up the battlefield, lest those who have overlooked be lurking in the mansion, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate them, to eliminate all dangers as much as possible.

Guo Cheng also came to the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, looked at Lu Zhi’s corpse, swung down with a sword, the corpse was divided into two parts, and asked someone to take off his head and use it to wash and pickle it well, so that it could be given to him later. Han Kai, the general of Zhengdong outside, received the reward.

After finishing his main business, he asked people to clean up the city lord’s mansion. After welcoming the army into the city, how could General Zhengdong have no place to live?

This City Lord’s Mansion is just right.

An hour later, all the battlefields were cleaned up, and the residence of the army after entering the city was also cleaned up.

Guo Cheng also sent people to the Yuguo camp outside the pass, informing General Han Kai that Zhengdong could rectify the army and enter the pass at any time to receive and rest.

After some time,

At this moment, the sky has brightened, and the sun has irradiated the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to the night full of darkness and killing, dispelling all the coldness and chills.

Outside the city, inside the imperial camp, the soldiers had long been ordered by their superiors, lined up neatly, and approached the revolving gate wall in waves, but they approached the city in a short time. under the door.

At this time, the city gate was wide open, and Colonel Guo Cheng led the guards in the city. The UU reading www.uukanshu.com array was neatly lined up a hundred paces away from the city gate, with a respectful face and a flattering look. The army that slowed down.

The 3,000-strong army in front did not pay any attention to them. Instead, they directly entered the city and took over the defenses at various places in the city gate, in case they suddenly defected here and harmed the commander of the army.

He looked at the leaders of the vanguard with a stiff expression, ignoring him at all, and instead went straight into the city, making it clear that he did not believe in himself, the leader of the descending army.

I was a little annoyed in my heart, but it was still suppressed, and I just said bitterly in my heart: What are you proud of?

After a few days, I will be a monarch, and you are just a leader of the vanguard army. At that time, I will be the monarch, and you will be the minister, who will be proud in front of whom.

Seeing that the city defense had been taken over by the soldiers under his command, Han Kaicai slowly led his hundreds of personal guards and slowly approached the generals who surrendered at the city gate.

First, he gave some kind words to appease these unhappy generals, and then assured them that his previous promises were absolutely clear, and he also took out the imperial edict that he had brought in advance and read it out in front of them.

Seeing these people’s faces slowly soften, and finally seeing the imperial decree, they became excited, and they were not even clear about their words.

After laughing and joking a few words, he slowly led them into the city, went to inspect the gate, and looked at the level that had blocked him for a few days.

Later, I came to my residence and found that this group originally belonged to Lu Zhi’s city lord’s mansion. At this moment, it was cleaned up, and even the bloody smell of the previous night was sprayed with floral fragrance, and I couldn’t smell it.

He couldn’t help being very satisfied with this Guo Cheng, and he praised him a few times again and again, which made this Guo Cheng instantly flattered and flattered even more diligently.

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became extremely harmonious.
