1170 Nostalgia is awe-inspiring

The Huayin War ended so quickly, not only did Guo Jing's subordinates, who were set up in ambush outside the county, be caught off guard, but even some of the people who watched the battle with the army, especially Xue Tao and other Hedong Township parties, were all dumbfounded for a while.

This can't even be said to be a war, it's just a one-sided bullying. Originally, after seeing the superior equipment ration of Wang Shi, these spectators with the army were awe-inspiring in their hearts, but they were also faintly resistant.

Such an elite and strong army is not used to sweep away Hulu, but is used to bully the Hongnong villagers, which inevitably makes those Hedong villagers have a sense of grief and indignation such as the death of rabbits and foxes, and the sadness of things.

In the eyes of these Hedong villagers, in their hearts, Hongnong Yang's extensive rural situation may be a little out of line, but it is not human nature?

Hedong and Hongnong are in a similar situation, and these villagers have been able to survive so far, not by the protection of the royal prestige, but by the villagers' own hard work, fighting for their lives. And this kind of nostalgia and rural situation determines that what these villagers value is only tangible benefits, not the so-called royal righteousness that does not make sense.

This world is the way of the jungle, it is true that the king is powerful, but he can't bully people so much that they are not allowed to do it even if they resist a little. If the Wang Shi is just crossing the border and strengthening the beam, then it is enough, they can also bow their heads a little and give in, but since it is in the name of spreading the king's rule, they must always take care of their hometown. If it is still blindly insulting fish and meat, what is the difference between it and those Hulu who harm the countryside!

It is precisely because of this psychology that these Hedong Township Party members who were forced to watch the battle with the army were also quite sympathetic to the fate of Hongnong Yang's family, so much so that they were quite resentful of Xue Tao, who had no position and principle at all.

There are even many people who ridicule in person, saying that Xue Tao is a fierce person for half his life, and he has a loss in the evening, and he is forced to sell the staff of the township and the country, and as a result, he only has a temporary position, which is really worth the loss.

However, everything may be reasonable, but if a critical point is broken, there is no need for reason to exist.

Although Hongnong has been Hu Tong for a long time, but at the beginning of last year, Shi Sheng, who dominated this realm, fled north, and also left a blank period of more than a year and nearly two years in the countryside.

A dock wall of this scale is no less than a fortified fortress, and even with a full set of siege equipment, it is not easy to capture it. The fact that Xue's Fenyin Dock Wall was able to occupy the Fenyin Fortress for many years and stand tall is enough to illustrate the problem. Although Wang Shi's various siege equipment is sophistication, it is far from being comparable to the two Zhao and Hu Zhong, but if he wants to capture the Huayin Dock Wall, it will definitely take a lot of effort.

However, the roar that resounded between heaven and earth not only blasted open the dock wall in a very short time, but also smashed the old concepts of these Hedong villagers!

It turned out that the dock wall they had relied on to protect themselves in previous years was so fragile, even a dock wall of Huayin's grade could not support a round of attacks, and it was conceivable what kind of fate they would face if Wang Shi applied this kind of strong attack method to their countryside.

Seeing is believing everything, they have heard of the strength of Wang Shi for a long time, although they also think that they are invincible, but they do not feel that the other party is stronger than the sky. If it really comes to the point of fighting each other, they are not vegetarians.

The seven-foot man beating the yellow-mouthed child, the victory is not martial, it is not something to boast about. If Wang Shi only used conventional means to capture the Huayin Dock Wall, no matter how brilliant the victory was, it would be difficult to be convincing.

But on the way, an ant is inadvertently trampled to death, and to whom should the ant cry to complain about the injustice of the world? I can only blame myself for not knowing the danger, why bother to crawl on the soles of people's feet!

The soldiers of Wang Shi had already rushed into the dock wall and began to hunt down some recalcitrant people, searching for the Yang clansmen, while those Hedong township tycoons gathered outside General Shen's Chinese army tent one by one, so nervous that cold sweat welled up on the soles of their feet.

Xue Tao was originally criticized by the villagers, but when the results of the battle were presented in front of them, the villagers' attitudes towards him were different, and some people even stepped forward to apologize a few words, saying that they had a shallow understanding of the situation, and they didn't know that Wang Shi's combat power was so fierce.

Some people couldn't even apologize, but just urged Xue Tao to hurry up to see General Shen, and on behalf of the villagers in Hedong, they told them again that they had admired Wang for a long time and longed to return to Xingtai's rule.

Seeing the villagers react like this, Xue Tao also smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he had also participated in the formulation of the plan for the Western Expedition before, it was difficult to know the top secrets of military affairs such as the Great General's Artillery.

The scene of the collapse of the Huayin dock wall came into view, and it was also deeply imprinted in Xue Tao's heart. What kind of fate will it be to welcome Hongnong Yang, he didn't dare to think deeply, and the deepest feeling at the moment was how polite General Shen had been to him before, it was really a kind of entanglement without any interest, and it was a rare appreciation.

Master Wang possessed such a powerful weapon beyond the convention, and the Fenyin Dock Wall that he was proud of was probably no different from a paper paste under such an offensive.

The only thing he is glad about at the moment is that Luoyang had a decent attitude when he met General Shen before, and he didn't pretentiously ask for any celebrity treatment, otherwise probably Hongnong Yang would be the fate of his family in the near future.

Although the villagers were clamoring again and again, urging Xue Tao to worship General Shen and show his loyalty, Xue Tao himself knew that he really couldn't reach the level of being untold and familiar with General Shen's seat.

Although the war is going on rapidly, there are still many finishing matters, and General Shen must have no leisure to receive him at the moment. So he didn't dare to ask for a rash meeting, just patiently appeased the villagers to be impatient, General Shen was by no means an arrogant and intolerable narrow-minded person, and the Hongnong villagers were all to blame for this heavy disaster.

The noise outside the military tent naturally couldn't be hidden from Shen Zhezi. The reason why he used a knife to kill chickens was because of this effect. In the era of cold weapons, the return cannon or the general cannon deserves the title of the king of cold weapons.

However, the main significance of this kind of heavy weapon is to attack fortified positions, and in the current war atmosphere, the significance of deterrence is greater than the actual offensive effect. The reason is also very simple, because apart from some fixed heavy defense fortresses, there are very few uses that can come in handy. Future conquest wars, especially in the process of suppressing the Hu people, will still be dominated by field warfare.

Under the condition that Wang Shi mastered this kind of heavy weapon, at least those dock walls distributed in the countryside were no longer enough to cause trouble. However, these township sects are not the main target of the attack, if they can surrender without a fight, and let them obediently be controlled by the order, Shen Zhezi will not blindly enjoy it.

After the Huayin dock wall was breached, although some villagers fled outside, most of the people of the Hongnong Yang clan did not have time to escape, and were directly blocked in the dock wall to catch a straight face. What disappointed Shen Zhezi more was that Yang Lin, who was clamoring for the countryside, was standing at the head of the dock wall at that time, and was directly killed by a stone, and these Yang clan people were enough to be useful.

The best way for the Hongnong Yang clan to deal with the township is not to destroy it physically, but to destroy the foundation of its hometown. Shen Zhezi didn't even go out to see those villagers, and directly put pen to paper in the military tent to announce the order, and all the prisoners captured in the Yang clan's dock wall, regardless of their family affairs, were classified as criminals and waited for conscription and forced labor.

Under the outline of his strokes, more than 20,000 Hongnong villagers were deprived of their freedom, and the reason for their conviction was also very clear, that is, they believed in the bewitchment of Hongnong Yang's township thieves and stood on the opposite side of Wang Shi to obstruct Wang Shi's westward expedition.

As soon as this order came out, the nostalgia was boiling. But now that thousands of Wang Shi are here, and there is even the feat of breaking through the dock wall like the descending of heavenly soldiers before, even if these villagers are resentful, they don't dare to resist Wang Shi at all.

As a result, those Yang clan people suffered the anger of the villagers, in addition to some who were arrested before, some others scattered among the villagers were also identified by the villagers nearby, and dozens of people were beaten to death.

With the rout of some outlying villagers, the news that Yang's dock wall was breached quickly spread in the countryside. Many of the dock wall masters who were still lucky were already frightened to death after hearing the news, but they clearly knew the itinerary of the king division, and the army entered and immediately broke through the strongest dock wall in the county, without any delay.

Therefore, before nightfall, there was an endless stream of people who came to ask for surrender, and almost all those who had a little power in the county gathered outside the camp gate to bow and beg for mercy. For these people, Shen Zhezi did not blindly coerce and intimidate, but just sent people to ask them why they were slow to welcome Wang Shi?

In this situation, what can these villagers say, they can only splash all the sewage on Hongnong Yang's body, bully others, coerce the villagers, collude with Hulu, and so on. Among the statements of these villagers, the evil of the Yang family is simply innumerable.

At the same time, the Fenwu Army, which had been ordered to continue to march west to sweep the county, received another good news, saying that the general Guo Jing had been captured outside the Hongnong County and was already on the way to escort.

After receiving this letter, Shen Zhezi was also quite stunned for a while, feeling that his luck was being strongly interfered with by a strange force. As for Yu Manzhi and other generals, they were even more angry and jumped to scold their mother: "That Guo Jing is simply unreasonable!" What a stupid thing, knowing that Wang Shi is going on a strong expedition to the west, he still dares to take risks, take a peek closer, and use his life to add credit to disgusting things! ”

These feelings are all jokes, but the arrest of the important general of the state near the county border undoubtedly confirmed the charge of Hongnong Yang's thief. Moreover, even Guo Jing, the enemy's main general, was directly captured in the suburbs, and it can be imagined that Wang Shi's bravery has caused chaos in his army.

On the one hand, Shen Zhezi ordered the Fenwu army to continue to advance, and let Yu Manzhi lead his troops to follow, while he personally sat in Huayin to clean up the mess, and on the other hand, he sent people to gallop to the Huan Xuan Department on the South Road to speed up the march, and copied from the south in order to encircle and suppress the rest of Guo Jing's troops outside Sanfu as soon as possible.
