Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1114 The Butcher

All foreign town troops, prefecture and county soldiers and horses, and Tutuan villagers have their original intentions, and they are not evil at first.Those who return to their fate must be safe, and those who know their mistakes must be forgiven.You can hand in the equipment, reorganize the queue, and wait for it. "

The cavalry drove around, surrounded the scattered Wei soldiers, and then drove them to the designated open space to gather like sheep.

The people who have lost their organization are helpless and under the threat of death. They have basically lost any ability to think and judge, and can only follow the "leader" subconsciously.

There are also people who don't cooperate.

Just like in every battle, there are always people who form an formation to protect themselves and resist stubbornly when they are defeated. The Weibo government soldiers fought and retreated, and seemed to be planning to withdraw into the city.

No one is fool.If the Xia people's hostility towards Wei Bowufu is divided into three, six, six or nine grades, then the famous Yamen soldiers must be the first.In fact, no one likes Weibo Yabing, except their family members.

Of course, the foreign town army is not a good bird.In other words, the men in Weibo Town who aspire to be soldiers are not good birds, after all, the government soldiers came from them.

You kill all the yamen soldiers, and then recruit new people from the foreign town army, prefecture and county army, and even the Tutuan township husband to form a pro-army.In a few years, they will be the new generation of Weibo yamen soldiers, equally domineering and equally troublesome.

Therefore, there are still many town soldiers, state soldiers, and township braves who refuse to surrender.Those who can escape will run away, and those who cannot escape form a stubborn formation and fight to the death.

Therefore, the battle continued for a while.

The infantry of the Wuwei army charged first, and after shaking their positions, the cavalry went up again, breaking these "stubborn stones" one by one, so as not to affect more Wei Bowufu and arouse their resistance .

Some of the rout soldiers rushed to the north gate of Weizhou, shouting loudly.

Such a big change happened outside, as long as the people in the city were not blind, they could see it.If you act quickly, you can still save some people in time.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door, I want to enter the city and kill Liang Huaijin's family."

"Open the door, the thief Xia is coming after you."

"Could it be that you are also going to surrender?"

Roaring, crying, and begging were endless, resounding inside and outside the city.

The gate of Weizhou City was closed tightly, and there was no movement at all.

The defeated soldiers gradually despaired.

Some people ran away, looking for their own way.

Some people took out their bows and arrows and shot towards the city to vent their anger.

Someone sat down on the ground, crying loudly.

There was a commotion at the top of the city, there were many people, and there were still disputes, which gave the defeated soldiers some hope.

But they quickly despaired again, because the city gate didn't move at all, and there was no intention of opening it at all.

The sound of horseshoes sounded behind him, and Xia Jun's cavalrymen split up and chased after them.

Most of the rout soldiers dispersed in a hurry, and a small part relied on the city gate to resist.With the mentality of pulling a back when they were dying, the cavalry really had nothing to do with them, so they had to retreat and wait for the infantry to come up to deal with these diehards.

You Yi envoy Anxiu, the capital of the Wuwei army, rushed for a while, then returned to the rear to change horses.

He was in his late forties and slightly out of breath.But he was in good spirits, he threw the knife with the curled edge on the ground, picked up a thicker saber, and said with a smile: "This city is easy to break ears."

"Why did General An say that?" the soldiers asked jokingly.

"I led my troops to charge, and when I rode my horse to the bottom of the city, no one shot to stop me." An Xiuxiu laughed loudly, and said, "It can be seen that the thief has lost his courage."

In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the defenders in the city are in chaos.

In fact, they are also confused now.

Liang Huaijin took away most of the generals and sent them outside the city. At this moment, the whole city had no idea what to do.

It is absolutely impossible to let the rout soldiers into the city, even if there are loud shouts outside the city, but there is no officer to give an order—to be more precise, no one is in charge now, no one ordered to stand firm, and no one ordered to surrender. Disabled from top to bottom.

After all, this big defeat is really shocking, from all aspects.

An Xiuxiu's judgment that the defenders in the city have no fighting spirit and are even in chaos should not be false.

After changing the horses and weapons, An Xiuxiu galloped again, slashing and killing.

Until half an hour later, all resistance was crushed.

The corpses were scattered all over the place, and the quail-like captives were trembling.The auxiliary soldiers began to come out to clean up the battlefield, gathered the horses, picked up the equipment, piled up the corpses, and dug a pit to bury them.

There are more than [-] defenders in the camp outside the city, and they will also surrender.

They have no choice.

It is impossible for a second wave of reinforcements to come out of the city for rescue. If you don't want to be besieged to death, surrender is the best choice.

Lu Huaizhong also arrived on the battlefield surrounded by his own soldiers.

He looked at the tall and majestic city wall, and said: "I was still worried about how many lives would be lost to capture this city. Now it's good, Liang Huaijin made a shot, which saved a lot of trouble."

Xuan thought of Luo Shaowei who was still grinding with Shi Renyu in Guantao, and sighed silently.

Some people are like this, the opportunity is given to him, but he can't grasp it.Changing places, he has a better way than Luo Shaowei to deal with the current situation, and there is more than one way.

"Han Xun!" Lu Huaizhong shouted.

"The end is here."

"Lead troops to attack the city, don't give the enemy a chance to breathe."

"As ordered."

Plans can't keep up with changes.The siege equipment has not yet been manufactured, and the sergeants have just experienced a big battle, and their physical strength is somewhat lacking.But in the current situation, it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to attack.If the defenders are allowed to react from the chaotic state, they don't know how long it will take and how many people will be killed or injured.

Drums rumble.

With more than 3000 infantry and a simple wooden ladder, Han Xun charged forward without hesitation.

******
In fact, there are still many defenders in the city.

There are more than [-] Yamen soldiers in the decisive victory capital, more than [-] Shanhe Army, and more than [-] Tutuan peasants temporarily recruited. The troops are sufficient, and the equipment, food and grass are also sufficient, and the consumption of at least half a year is not a problem.And the city wall of Weizhou had undergone large-scale repairs during the era of Le Yanzhen and Luo Hongxin. It was very strong, and the city defense facilities were also very complete. The Xia army took it down without losing tens of thousands of lives.

But that was normal, not normal now, so abnormal.

The defeat outside the city greatly stimulated the defenders.After the initial loss of voice and bewilderment, they fell into frenzy.

I don't know who took the lead first, maybe some irritable yamen soldier. Under his call, a large group of people rushed down the city and went straight to Liang Huaijin's mansion.

The servants of Liang's mansion hadn't figured out the situation, and were directly killed by the enraged sergeant.

The warriors rushed into the courtyard, killing everyone they saw, and beheading everyone they saw.The Liang Mansion, which used to be full of singing birds, suddenly turned into a bloody hell.

The mansions of Wang Yuanwu and Yin Xingfang are similar to the next scene.

It is well known that these two guys abandoned their wives and fled with Luo Shaowei.A few days ago, no one paid any attention to them. Everyone in the Wangfu and Yinfu lived in fear for a few days, but after finding out that nothing happened, they were relieved.

But today it was bad luck.

The warrior who lost his mind rushed in in a panic, and the whole family, old and young, were slaughtered.The family property was also looted and turned into the spoils of the big soldiers.

Next is the Luo Mansion, which has already fled.Because no one could be found, the sergeants even set fire to it and burned it down to vent their anger.

The house of Sima Si Kongjing, the marching army of the shogunate, and the house of Yang Li, the secretary of Jiedu, were all looted by the rebels.

Robbery is addictive, and it brings great sensory stimulation.

The rebellious soldiers who got on the head began to attack the middle and lower officials of the shogunate.

Some people cursed and rose up to resist.

Someone abandoned his wife and fled over the wall.

Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, while their wives and daughters were humiliated and their wealth was plundered before their eyes.

All in all a mess.

At three o'clock, the Wuwei soldiers repelled the defenders who were not very determined to resist, and climbed to the top of the city.

When they saw the chaos in the city, they were also amazed.

But no one cares about those chaotic soldiers.The goal of the first warriors was very clear. After a little formation, they rushed to the gate of the city.

Some Wei soldiers at the gate of the city broke up, some actually launched a desperate counterattack, and some took advantage of the terrain to shoot arrows and kill Xia soldiers.

After a little effort and dozens of casualties, Xia Bing cut off the head of the last Wei Bowufu, and then with all his strength, he lowered the suspension bridge through the winch and opened the city gate.

Xia Jun, who had already marched outside the city, swarmed in and began to clear Wei Bing street by street.

At the beginning of noon, almost all the gates of the city were opened.

Some were opened by the Xia army, while others were opened by the Wei people in an attempt to escape.

Xiaojie Army, Yi Cong Army and other ministries also marched into the city in batches to suppress the rebellious army.

At this point in the battle, there is basically no suspense. Weizhou, a famous city in Hebei, has changed hands.

Lu Huaizhong, who was still outside the city, received the news immediately. At this time, he was sitting and drinking tea with Liang Huaijin.

"General Liang should take the lead in this battle." Lu Huaizhong said: "If not, I don't know how many people were killed or injured."

"Since Lu Shuai entered Hebei, he has repeatedly defeated the soldiers of Jin, Zhao, Wei, and Cang, and his prestige spread all over Hebei." Liang Huaijin said: "The crime will be stubborn. He has fought against the heavenly soldiers for several years. It is a fluke to be spared. How dare you take credit for it!"

"I have fought for so many years, I have done ignorant things, I have killed innocent people, but I don't like to tell lies with my eyes open." Lu Huaizhong said unhappily: "If General Liang boosts morale, rectifies military affairs, and defends the city. With the strength of Weizhou, I think I won’t be able to take it down for half a year. It should be your credit, it’s yours, and no one will snatch it. After today, you can go to Luoyang. Don’t worry, Your Majesty will have generous rewards, official titles, wealth Huo, Meiji, absolutely indispensable, don't worry."

Liang Huaijin calmed down a bit.

In fact, there is one more thing he wants to ask, that is, how Shao Sheng will arrange for him. To be honest, he doesn't want to retire just yet.The rich man's life is good, but after all, it's almost meaningless.He is not yet forty this year, he is in the prime of his life, and he still wants to continue to serve the new dynasty.

"Shuai Lu has the demeanor of a famous general in ancient times." Liang Huaijin sighed.

"An ancient famous general..." Lu Huaizhong smiled self-deprecatingly: "He is going to kill someone soon, and he is almost a butcher."

Liang Huaijin was shocked.
