Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 979

The time has entered the 32nd year of Wu Wang Qingji, that is, 482 BC, at the end of March in the lunar calendar.

Wu Guo defeated the two armies of Dai State and Zhongshan State, but the progress was not smooth.

Although Tian Rangju led the army to occupy all the cities and towns of Zhongshan Kingdom, he was disturbed by Zhongshan people's tactics of "surrounding the cities with mountains" and suffered heavy losses. He had to stay in the city to wait for changes in time.

On the other side of Yanmen Pass, Sun Wu's troops could not attack Yanmen Pass for a long time, so they simply confronted the Dai army there.

For two months, Sun Wu did not attack Yanmen Pass.

At this moment, the coalition forces of the Yan State and the Donghu, Linhu, Loufan, Huns and other nomadic peoples finally arrived at Yanmen Pass, sharpening their knives and preparing to launch a counterattack against the Wu army.

Qingji's [-] soldiers and horses were already in place, but Sun Wu believed that it was inappropriate to fight head-on with the Yan Dynasty coalition forces and the Hulu at this time, so he took the initiative to abandon Meng County, Huo people and other cities, and the army retreated to Jinyang City, Ganyang, Pingling, and Qixian.

Relying on the perfect fortifications, Wu Jun fortified the walls and cleared the field, avoiding and fighting.

Due to the lack of large-scale siege equipment and the fact that they did not have much advantage in terms of military strength, the coalition forces did not dare to launch a siege war, but launched a brutal "sweep" against various places in Taiyuan County of Wu State.

"Hugou, I'm fighting with you!"

"kill!"

"Folks, these barbarians with human faces and hearts want to occupy our homeland, humiliate our wives and children, plunder our property, and kill our compatriots! Can we promise?"

"No! No!"

All the villages and towns in Taiyuan County, the Li Shu people spontaneously organized and rose up to resist.

They took iron swords, copper daggers, axes and other various weapons, and even used wooden sticks, sickles, kitchen knives, hoes and other things to fight bloody battles with the barbarians.

However, their enthusiasm cannot change the fate of being decapitated in the end.

In the land of Yanzhao, what a generous and elegiac person!

The Lishu people with martial arts style, no matter they are young and strong, old or weak, women and children, all take advantage of the guys in their hands and fight desperately with the enemies who invaded their hometown.

"puff!"

"Shh!"

An old man with gray temples roared and rushed forward with a hoe, but a barbarian grinned grinningly, cut off his arm with a sword, and was kicked flying out, bleeding profusely.

Seeing that the old man was dying in a pool of blood and was about to die, the barbarian wanted to make up for it, but he was suddenly hugged by a "bear" and fell to the ground.

"Let go of me! Aww!"

It was an elderly woman, with a mouthful of teeth, she insisted on biting on his neck.

Under the pain, the barbarian became ruthless, kicked the woman flying, and pierced her chest with his sword.

"mother!"

With red eyes, a middle-aged man roared in grief and anger, and threw a spear at him, directly bringing a "heart-cooling" to the heart of the barbarian!
Seeing that their companion was killed, the barbarians were also very angry. They surrounded him and chopped up the man who dared to resist.

In this huge village, fighting broke out everywhere.

The sound of fighting, wailing, grinning laughter, etc., all kinds of sounds mixed together, forming a scene like purgatory on earth.

After a long time, a sea of ​​flames ignited in the village, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The Hu people returned with a full load, holding chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in their hands, and pigs, dogs, cows and other animals that had just been bled on the carts, full of bloodthirsty breath.

The originally peaceful village was burned to the ground, and there were not many survivors left.

And this is just a microcosm of the huge Taiyuan County.

The Hu people lacked siege equipment and could not attack the city. They could only burn, kill and loot the rural areas that were too late to evacuate or did not want to evacuate, so as to supplement military resources and comfort themselves by the way.

Chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep and other poultry and livestock, as well as bags of grain, are the trophies of the Hu people.

There were also some women who were also taken away as trophies by them like driving cattle and sheep.

Some women who could not bear the humiliation directly threw themselves into the river, or fought desperately with the barbarians, and were killed in the end...

Compared with the brutal behavior of the Hulu, the Yan army and the Dai army were still able to do nothing wrong.

After all, they are bound by military discipline.

They are soldiers, not beasts!
Of course, there were also some generational soldiers who saw the barbarians burning, killing, looting and earning a lot of money, and they were also excited, and joined the "looting army".

The Dai army is different from the Yan army and from the armies of the Central Plains countries.

The composition of the acting army is very complicated, most of them are Hu people, and the military discipline established by Zhao Wuxie can't restrain them.

At this moment, Zhao Wuxie took a military chariot, and when passing through a village, he repeatedly issued five orders, strictly forbidding the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, and to do nothing to the Li Shu.

However, how many soldiers can obey Zhao Wuxie's orders?

"Is he King Zhao?"

"Hey, what is King Zhao? He is clearly a generation of barbarians. He is the heir apparent established by the former emperor Jian Gong (Zhao Yang) before his death. Why did he join forces with the barbarians outside the Great Wall to harm us?"

"I, Zhao Renzhong, have suffered a catastrophe!"

"He, Zhao Wuxie, is no longer Zhao Ren, he is Rongdi..."

In the streets and alleys, in the countryside, people are talking about it.

Zhao Wuxie, who was walking on the road, felt very heavy.

He looked around, and all he saw were the cold eyes of the Li Shus, as well as all kinds of disgust, and they were as afraid of him as a tiger!

Zhao Wuxie, he is the king of Zhao country, why is he so disgusted by his "countrymen"?
Could it be that the Wu people's assimilation ability is so powerful that they can make all the Zhao people return to their hearts in just two or three years?
No, not so.

God's sins are still forgiven.

Self-inflicted sin, do not live!
All of this was caused by Zhao Wuxie.

"So what if the widow got the hometown of Zhao? The widow...has lost the heart of the Zhao people."

Zhao Wuxie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

……

Jinyang City.

Sun Wu, Gong Zizhang, Xu Menchao and other Wu army generals stood on the top of the city, listening to the scouts sent by the scouts, they could not let go for a long time.

"Ugh!"

Sun Wu lowered his head and sighed with deep guilt: "It is the old man who caused the people of Taiyuan County to suffer such a disaster. Old man, how can you see the folks in Taiyuan County again?"

"I... am ashamed of my Majesty and my countrymen."

Young Master Zhang who was standing on the side comforted him, "Mr. Wu An, don't feel sorry for yourself."

"What happened in Taiyuan County is of course inseparable from us. However, it is not us who burned, killed and looted in Taiyuan County, but the barbarians!"

"Afterwards, we will definitely avenge the deaths of our innocent fathers and fellow villagers!"

"Yes! Revenge!"

"Revenge on Hugou!"

Morale Available!

At this moment, all the generals and soldiers of the Wu army, as well as Li Shu of Taiyuan County, had become united in their hatred.
