Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 651 Ping

The once strong Wubao was captured in one day.

Murong Chui was covered in sixty-seven wounds. If he had not always been strong and the armor on his body was of top quality, he would have been unable to stand up long ago.

Let the military doctors bandage him at will, and he will be full of life again.

"General, what should we do with these prisoners?" the general asked, pointing to the prisoners in the city.

These people fought until they were exhausted and had no other choice, then they laid down their weapons and surrendered.

"Since our army wants to seize the top spot, how can we carry these burdens? Send an order and kill them all to frighten the enemy. Except for food, grass and horses, all other captured items will be discarded!" Murong Chui put on his iron armor again.

"Leader!"

A killing ensues.

Massacres were too common in this era. When Shihu attacked Qinlong with 20,000 cavalry, he was blocked by Wubao. Longdong, Wudu, Anding, Xinping, Beidi, Fufeng, and Shiping counties and tribes responded with troops. Shihu did not tolerate them. Yiqu defeated the former Zhao army and chased Liu Yin. His body was found thousands of miles away. More than 3,000 people including former Zhao Prince Liu Xi, Nanyang King Liu Yin and their generals, princes, ministers, and lieutenants were killed. Killed them all, and killed tens of thousands of people from the Qinlong clan.

Under such terrible names, Yao Yizhong of Nan'an and Fu Hong of Lueyang surrendered honestly. Hundreds of thousands of Qiang Di households in major Wubao followed Shihu and moved to Hebei, settling in Hetou and Fangtou...

This land in the northwest suffers from this.

Murong Chui came from Liaodong, so he naturally knew these laws and regulations.

The rules of war are such that there is no room for mercy.

If Yao Chang survives this level, the northwest will become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood...

For a time, blood flowed like a river in Wuquebao, and corpses piled up like mountains.

Without even trembling, Murong Chui ordered the burning of Wuque Fort. Black smoke billowed, flames rose in the cold wind, and ignited the dead trees and vegetation on the mountain.

Qiang people from far and near can see it.

A burning stench lingered throughout the city. Murong Chui didn't care. He wiped the black ash on his shoulder armor, looked at the billowing black smoke, and got on his horse. "Now the gate on the south bank has been broken. We should drive straight in and sweep across Longshang!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The evil spirit of the blood-stained Black Cloud Army was even stronger.

In the hands of other generals, they were somewhat restrained, but in the hands of Murong Chui, the ferocity and evil spirit of the Black Cloud Army fully exploded.

Under the black smoke, a group of horsemen walked out of the dock menacingly.

"General, Goudao City sent ten thousand people to help Wuque Castle!" Within ten miles, a scout came to report.

Murong Chui was not surprised but overjoyed, "Heaven has granted me great merit!"

The Black Cloud Army was at its peak, and the enemy was on a knife's edge.

If this support army is defeated, the defenders of Goudao City will become even thinner.

Although he only had more than 5,000 men under his command, Murong Chui had never been afraid of anyone in the field. "The whole army advanced rapidly, with the cavalry going first. Don't worry about the horse power. The infantry followed behind and attacked the Qiang army!"

Boom, boom, boom...

In the cold wind, the black cloud army ran like thunder, swinging towards the direction of the enemy like a long black sword...

Under Wang Meng's pressure, other Wubao attacks went smoothly, even much easier than Murong Chui's.

Always at the critical moment of the war, the Jin people in Wubao turned against each other and attacked the Qiang people from behind.

Then Wubao was captured without any explanation. Many Qiang people will not understand until their death why these former leaders stabbed them in the back.

There are even Qiang people who change their waist at a critical moment and claim that they are Chinese and orthodox Central Plains people...

During the Five Husties, many people from the Central Plains were transformed into barbarians and barbarians.

Now that Daliang is making a comeback, these people suddenly remember that their ancestors were also from the Central Plains. They were instigated by the Longyou powerful men and re-entered the embrace of Chinese orthodoxy without any hesitation...

Li Zhao, the guard of King Yu's Fort, claimed to be a distant relative of Li Yue, the emperor of Liang Dynasty. He claimed that the Li family in the world were one family. The Li family in Longxi and the Li family in Hedong were of the same lineage and were both descendants of Lao Tzu, so he surrendered justifiably. Liang Jun...

It’s not like these people suddenly enlightened.

But Liang Guo showed his true strength and sent Wang Meng to besiege him. Yao Chang was besieged internally and externally. He was short of food and clothing. He had reached the point where he was running out of oil and lamps. If he continued to resist, he would die with Yao Chang.

No one dares to use their own family to test the sharpness of Daliang's sword.

Just like when they chose to surrender without hesitation under Shi Hu's iron heel, no one wanted to die if they could survive.

It is still unclear whether the Liang Kingdom can unify the world, but unifying the Northern Kingdom is the general trend.

Even many Qiang chiefs surrendered, claiming that they were bewitched and coerced by Yao Chang before they rebelled. They had always been loyal ministers of the Central Plains court.

Yao Chang's originally small territory shrank rapidly.

"Jing Lue's military use is as good as that of Sun Wu." Xue Qiang often called Wang Meng by his first name in private.

"Yao Chang is just a lost dog, how can he stand up to Daliang? Now that the northern kingdom is settled, how can the Qiang people survive alone?" In Wang Meng's eyes, Yao Chang was just like a fly.

He was able to persist until now, firstly because of the support of Longyou's powerful people, and secondly because of the severe drought that lasted for two years, which made Liang Guo unwilling to look west.

It's not that Yao Chang is really powerful. In the face of a newly rising Central Plains dynasty, local separatist forces like Yao Chang will inevitably be destroyed.

Even if Yao Chang established the Later Qin Dynasty and occupied Chang'an in history, it did not last for many years, let alone the Central Plains, and quickly declined.

Wang Meng persecuted Haoqiang, which was equivalent to breaking Yao Chang's roots.

The Qiang people in his hands have trouble even feeding themselves.

"It's time to completely eliminate Nan'an. Wei Ming will lead the troops in this battle. Yao Chang is the turtle in the urn, and his subordinates are all strong and powerful in Long You. As soon as they see my Daliang flag, they will definitely open the city and surrender. Wei Ming will get the first victory." Wang Meng has 40,000 Liang troops to support him. I have been gathering my energy for a long time, and I have been waiting for today.

"Thank you for the promotion, Governor." Wang Meng almost supported Xue Qiang all the way.

When Wang Meng was in desperation, Xue Qiang didn't care about his friend from the common people. Wang Meng was able to live in seclusion in Huashan to study, and it was Xue Qiang who helped him.

The two of them are inseparable.

But just when the two of them had reached an agreement, a scout came to report: "For the governor, Murong Chui broke through Wuque Fort in one day, slaughtered all the prisoners, marched straight in, and burned and killed them all the way. The Qiang people were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Yao Chang ordered Yao Yisheng to lead thousands They went out to fight and were killed by Murong Chui. The army came to the gate of Goudao City. The city was frightened. Di Bozhi, Pang Wei, Deng Chong and others mutinied, killed the entire Yao family, and surrendered to Kaicheng!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Wang Meng thought that Wu Que Fort could not stop Murong Chui, but he did not expect that he would break through it so quickly, and even fight to the foot of Goudao City to achieve his first victory.

Di, Pang, and Deng were all powerful men in Longyou. Yin Qi's mother was called Di. The Pang family in Nan'an produced the fierce general Pang De. Needless to say, Deng Ai and Deng Qiang both came from this branch.

Wuque Fort was breached, the gate to Longshang was lost, and Yao Chang's defeat was inevitable.

"Hahaha, as expected of Murong Chui, you still underestimated him!" Wang Meng laughed.

Xue Qiang was also an open-minded person by nature, and said with relief: "Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. This is the meritorious service of the angel Murong Chui. Fortunately, Daliang has completely unified the northern country, and the people in the north no longer have to suffer from the sword."
