Chapter 790: Falling from the Wind

In Linqiong City, tens of thousands of corpses were ambushed, bleeding and drifting.

Those people who narrowly escaped with their lives still had panicked on their faces at this time, and they rushed desperately to the south.

Behind these people, there is still a Biaoguan Chinese army, hanging unhurriedly, like a cat and mouse.

In fact, the mission of these Guan sergeants was not to slaughter the fleeing civilians, but to drive them to the southern counties.

A strong man's face was panting, even in winter, his body was still steaming white, and he still looked back from time to time on the way to escape, wanting to see if the Guanzhong army had caught up.

"Finally left them away."

The slightly thin man next to him wiped the fine beads of sweat from his face and let out a long sigh of relief.

After relieving his breath, the thin man said with a sad face: "Brother, there are rumors in the world that Guan Zhongjun does not offend the people. ”

"Even those Yizhou soldiers who desperately resisted the Guanzhong army will not be slaughtered as long as they surrender."

"But after breaking through Linqiong, why did the Guanzhong army order the slaughter of the city?"

There was a look of hatred in the strong man's eyes, and he said impatiently, "How do I know? ”

Although the strong man escaped, all his family remained in the city, and they may have been slaughtered by now.

The family is ruined, how can a strong man not hate?

However, the skinny man is alone, has not yet married, and has no children left in the family.

He was able to escape today, he already felt very lucky, where would he dare to think about anything else?

After hesitating for a while, the thin man finally said: "I seem to have heard that the general has already issued an ultimatum before attacking the city. ”

"If the city is not opened within half an hour, the chickens and dogs will not be left on the day the city is broken. It's just that at first, everyone thought it was just a joke. ”

Speaking of which, the thin man still had a look of horror on his face.

He said with some resentment: "Brother, you said that the general who defended the city, knowing that he could not resist the army of Guanzhong, why did he drag the people of the city to death?" ”

The strong man was stunned when he heard this, and shouted: "The person was killed by the Guanzhong army, how can you accuse the general of Linqiong guarding the city?" ”

The thin man said in a heartfelt voice: "If the Linqiong guards surrendered the city at the beginning, how could it cause disaster to the people of the city?" ”

"What's more, if the two guards hadn't opened the city gate later, the Guanzhong army wouldn't have entered the city and slaughtered everywhere."

The man's words are a bit upside down, and there is still some truth in what he said before, but the latter sentence is a bit strong.

As everyone knows, even if the Linqiong guards don't open the city gate, it won't be long before the Guanzhong army will forcibly break through the city.

Both of them are ordinary people, and their logical ability is naturally not too meticulous, and it is commendable that a thin man can say such a thing.

As for the flaws, why bother?

The strong man was silent when he heard this, but his hatred for the Guanzhong Army was reduced, and he hated the Linqiong guard even more.

"Why, knowing that you can't resist it, you still drag the whole city to death? Why don't you resist to the end, and later lead the wolf into the house? ”

But the strong man forgot that before that, he was also full of joy, and took the initiative to run to the city wall to help defend the city, in a vain attempt to gain some fame.

He also forgot that before this, no one thought that the Guanzhong Army would really do that massacre.

Many people like to blame others for their faults, and when faced with enemies that are far stronger than themselves, they will subconsciously avoid them.

The people are always blind obedient people, they do not have firm thoughts, and their will is easily shaken.

The cold wind rolled up a fallen leaf, swirled beside the strong man, and slowly fell to the ground.

……

Linqiong is the southernmost city of Shu County, and from Linqiong through Shu County, it will enter the territory of Hanjia.

Hanjia is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is an important city in the northeast of Shu County, and it is also the former seat of Shu County.

It's just that after Liu Zhang took the civil and military capital of Yizhou to the yak, when he passed through Hanjia, many officials in Hanjia City also left.

Rao is like this, as the capital of a county, Hanjia, is still left by Liu Zhang with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

In Liu Zhang's opinion, with the tall city walls of Hanjia and the 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, as long as he defended the city and refused to fight, he could resist the Yanguan Chinese army for at least half a month.

Not only that, Wang Lei, a famous scholar in Yizhou, took the initiative to ask for help and stayed in Hanjia to prepare to resist the Guanzhong army.

Since Wang Lei took over the defense of Hanjia, he began to prepare in full swing, and a lot of city defense equipment was placed on the city wall.

Wang Lei also recruited many young men, distributed weapons to them, and then sent generals to train them.

Therefore, during this period of time in Hanjia City, almost every day was the sound of shouting and killing.

Wang Lei opened the official warehouse and distributed all the belongings, and the Hanjia garrison was even more demoralized, grinding their fists and palms to wait for the battle.

However, this high morale has collapsed in the past few days.

The reason is that many people who escaped death began to preach the atrocities of the Guanzhong army slaughtering the city after entering Hanjia.

The massacre of the city is certainly repugnant, but it brings more panic.

Among the Hanjia defenders, whether it was the original Yizhou army or the young men who were newly recruited by Wang Lei, they did not have the slightest fear of the Guanzhong army before.

It's not that the Guanzhong Army is not strong enough, but because the Guanzhong Army is too disciplined.

It is precisely because the Guanzhong army has not committed any offences against the people since it entered Shu, and it has also treated the captives extremely favorably, which will cover up their ferocious wildness.

In the eyes of the people, the deterrent power of the Guanzhong Army is even inferior to those who are murderous but have low combat effectiveness.

A gentleman can deceive him, and this sentence is used to describe the views of the Yizhou military and civilians on the Guanzhong Army, but it is also just right.

There is a strong impact when there is contrast, but the Guanzhong army's slaughter of the city made everyone dumbfounded.

What's more important is that when the Linqiong guards have already taken the initiative to open the city and surrender, the Guanzhong army still slaughtered the city without hesitation.

The reason for the slaughter of the city is simply because of a sentence that Chen Xu said before the siege: If the city is not opened within half an hour, the chickens and dogs will not be left on the day the city is broken.

Chen Xu used his butcher's knife to tell the defenders and people of various cities in Yizhou: Don't take my words as child's play.

The chickens and dogs are not left, Chen Xu really did it.

Except for the people who were deliberately let go, the entire Linqiong became a dead city, and even the livestock in the people's homes were slaughtered and became the rations of the Guanzhong army.

In Hanjia City, there was a shadow of panic.

Before the Guanzhong army came to the city, many people fled from the city, and those who were recruited by Wang Ti and were still sharpening their swords, but there were also five or six out of ten who fled.

If it weren't for Wang Lei's timely reaction and the closing of the city gate, I'm afraid that even the Yizhou army would have a lot of people fleeing.

And so many people gathered around the gates, crying and trying to flee out of the city.

With life in jeopardy, and under the threat of death in the city, no one can not be fearful.

"Open the gates, open the gates, let us out!"

The people gathered at the gate of the city and kept crowding forward, but they were blocked by the Yizhou army.

But according to this posture, it won't be long before it causes chaos, and if that happens, Hanjia will collapse without a fight.

"The situation in the city is about to get out of control, the general should think of countermeasures."

The heavily armed lieutenant strode to Wang Lei's side and shouted loudly with an anxious face.

But Wang Ti was still in that unhurried appearance, staring into the distance with his hands behind his back, and the inexplicable meaning in his eyes was inexplicable, but the deputy general couldn't figure it out no matter what.

"Open the gates and let them out."

was silent for a long time, but Wang Ti was speechless and said something that Wang Ti did not expect.

The adjutant general was horrified and shouted: "If the city gate is ordered to be opened, most of the people and soldiers will flee, how can we defend Hanjia." ”

"General, don't forget, your family is still on the yak."

The cold wind blew the beard on Wang Lei's chin, and Wang Lei's whole body exuded a sense of dust.

He looked at the sky and said, "The life of my family is life, but is not the life of the people and soldiers in this city?" ”

When the Guanzhong army was disciplined, Wang Lei was still able to live and die with the city.

However, if it was mixed with the lives of the people in the city, Wang Lei did not have the courage to resist Chen Xu.

Not only because the king is tired and compassionate, but because he cherishes his feathers more and refuses to bear the infamy.

The people who slaughtered the city are hateful, but the people who drag the people of the city to be slaughtered will inevitably be scolded by everyone.

The adjutant general's face was stunned, but he was a little speechless.

After the city gate was opened, as expected by the lieutenant general, six or seven out of ten escaped, and not many of the newly recruited young men remained in the city.

Even many of the 5,000 Yizhou soldiers left behind by Liu Zhang fled.

Fortunately, over the years, Liu Zhang has treated the people very well, and he has also won the hearts of the people in the land of Bashu, and in the end, there are still more than 10,000 people left in the city.

Among these people, the Yizhou army accounts for a small half.

The rest are either people who are alone and have no worries, or people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns and are lucky.

Two days later, when the Guanzhong army approached the city, Chen Xu's indifferent voice came again: "If Banzhu Xiangnei does not surrender, there will be no chickens and dogs left on the day the city is broken." ”

The soldiers and people who were able to stay in the city had some speculation about the current situation, but now, everyone was inevitably a little nervous.

Many of them were even more frightened, and even regretted that they did not flee the city in the first place.

At all times, there are loyal people who are not afraid of death.

There are also some people who hold the weapons in their hands and want to live and die with Han Jia.

Wang Lei stood on the city wall, looking at the dark clouds that were almost covering the sky, and his face was still very calm.

Time passed little by little, and seeing that the half-hour agreement was about to come, everyone in the city became more and more nervous.

Under Hanjia City, the Guanzhong army has already lined up its formation, and all kinds of siege equipment are also ready.

"Let's take a break from Kaesong."

At this moment, Wang Lei suddenly said a word tiredly.

"General!"

The lieutenant general felt very unbelievable when he heard this, and he never believed that his coach would be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "Han Jia can't hold it at all, so why bother to let everyone in the city die with me and surrender!" ”

"Crunch, crunch!"

The city gate opened, and Wang Ti asked the soldiers to throw away their weapons and lead the crowd to welcome the Guanzhong army into the city.

Chen Xu had long heard of Wang Lei's reputation, and he didn't dare to snub him, so in this way, the Guanzhong soldiers captured Hanjia without blood.

However, that night, Wang Ti killed himself in his bedroom, and Guan Chinese Wu was all embarrassed when he heard about it.

Slaughtering Linqiong and breaking Hanjia, the Guanzhong army became more and more powerful.

Chen Xu asked Wang Ti to be buried thickly, and the next day he led a large army to rush directly to Xixian County, and continued to attack for several days, and finally arrived at the city of Xixian County.

In the face of Chen Xu's ultimatum, the county order of Xixian County ignored it and was ready to resist to the end.

The rest of the generals persuaded one after another: "Even Wang Zhi surrendered to the Guanzhong soldiers because he didn't want to drag down the people, so why should the county zun hit the stone with an egg?" ”

The county magistrate was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "The Lu of the food king, the matter of loyalty to the king." I am the commander of the county, when the enemy army is overwhelmed, how can I surrender without a fight? ”

The general school was unwilling, and he was afraid that the chickens and dogs would not be left on the day the city was broken, so he repeatedly admonished.

The county magistrate was finally persuaded to take the trouble and ordered: "If there is anyone who dares to speak out, he will not be spared!" ”

Seeing that half an hour was finally about to pass, the generals of Xixian County became more and more anxious, and several people secretly looked at each other a few times, and they had already made up their minds.

A general came to the county commander's side, pointed outside the city and said, "County honor, what do you think it is?" ”

The county magistrate did not doubt him, and raised his eyes to look outside, but suddenly felt a cold light flashing in front of him, and he lost consciousness as soon as his neck hurt.

The general cut off the head of the county commander, raised it high and shouted: "The general entered Shuzhong with the edict of the Son of Heaven, but this person did not know the mandate of heaven and insisted on resisting the heavenly soldiers. ”

"The county order has been killed by me, why don't you open the city with me?"

The general's sudden move shocked all the soldiers in the city, and many people couldn't help but be slightly moved when they heard these words.

However, the county order has been entrenched in the county for so many years, and after all, there are still many cronies, and they killed the general with a roar.

The general was not fighting alone, and many generals who did not want to die in the city commanded their cronies to kill the county commander's own soldiers.

After a small civil strife, the gates of the county town slowly opened, and the county changed hands again.

After the county was broken, Chen Xu did not rest in this county for too long, so he led everyone to continue to attack south.

Yan Dao guarded the general, he had already heard about what happened in the previous cities, and heard that the Guanzhong army was coming with murderous spirit, and he actually abandoned the city and fled.

Without the main general's Yandao defenders, they did not dare to oppose the Guanzhong army at all, and directly surrendered the city.

In this way, in less than ten days, the Guanzhong army broke through three cities in a row, including the time delayed by the march, which can be regarded as overwhelming.

Although Chen Xu's massacre of the city was criticized by many people, the deterrent effect of the slaughter of the city was also fully revealed at this time.

On the city wall, a figure in a white robe stood in the wind.

He looked at the south from afar and muttered to himself: "As long as the yak is captured and Liu Zhang is captured alive, Yizhou will be fixed." ”
