Chapter 136: Bandits pass through like combing soldiers through a grate
  Andy was not killed in the end. Cheng Ying felt that it would be more comfortable to keep him alive and then let him watch his so-called network of relationships fall apart in the face of interests.

On the other hand, there is the problem between Cheng Ying's First Tulip Corps and Soto City. After the city was defeated, the residents in the city have been in panic.

Normally for the army of this era, the so-called military discipline in the army is quite worrying, plundering is light, and the so-called banditry is like combing soldiers and passing through grates is not just talk.

Compared with bandits, the army is a more terrifying existence. When they heard that it was broken, the residents of the city tried their best to escape from the city one by one, or hid in the cellar in the firewood pile, and buried all their belongings, even a little bit beautiful. Many women would smear their faces with dust to make themselves look ugly.

Cheng Ying has seen all these things, and he knows very well that the army in this era will do things that are worse than animals. Fortunately, when he was building the army, he always emphasized military discipline.

They went to work listening to the chants every day, and after being transferred to soldiers, their discipline was much stronger than that of the peasant soldiers.

Although more than 10,000 people were slightly confused, they still camped outside the city and did not plunder the city. This was possible largely because Cheng Ying never deducted military pay. Soldiers with money would not As for looting.

Some brave people looked outside the collapsed city wall and saw that the military camp was orderly. It was unbelievable, but most people still remained vigilant, just like dogs who can't stop eating shit. In their impression, the robbery Looting is already a part of the army, especially an army with more than 10,000 people. The food and grass they carry are simply not enough to support their consumption.

After all, the previous armies were not equipped with storage soul guides, and transporting food consumed too much. The people in the transport team had to eat horse chews to transport a hundred kilograms of grain, and they would have to eat a hundred kilograms of grain.

This is why in ancient wars, there were so many tactics of separate attacks and combined attacks. It was not that they did not want large groups of troops to march in a hurry, but that the supply problem could not be solved if the troops were concentrated together, but why could they be solved if they were separated? That's of course because, after separation, supplies can be "solved by oneself"!
  Cheng Ying didn't let these troops go to the city to contact the residents. It's like not taking the masses one step at a time. People can't believe it just by talking about it. Trust is something that needs to be built up little by little over time. Don't rush.

On the second day, Chengying led a group of master craftsmen who studied surveying and mapping to select several blasting points on the other three city walls. After planting explosives, they detonated the three walls at the same time. With a loud bang, the city wall collapsed and a large amount of manpower was invested. Go ahead and clean up the debris.

Residents in the city were organized to clean up construction debris. While doing so, they lamented how they would live without the city wall. They were different from Cheng Ying who was accustomed to living in modern cities. Without the city wall, they would not have a sense of security. The city wall here is really real. Everything can protect them from harm.

Regarding this point, Cheng Ying also considered that ancient city walls did have their own significance. In addition to defending against enemies, they could also resist attacks by bandits and wild beasts. They were of great significance before humans conquered nature.

Suddenly without the city wall, the security of Soto City was indeed a problem. For this reason, Cheng Yingduo stayed in the city for a day and specially sent troops to suppress the bandits.

There are still a lot of copycat bandits around here. In fact, these people are not living a good life. They are not as happy as the Liangshan heroes in Water Margin, who drank from big bowls and ate meat.

Some people just cook wild vegetables to get by. Who is going to be a bandit if he is really capable? The ones with the highest level of cultivation among these people are only in the third ring, and the only ones who can bully are the people at the lowest level.

And how much profit and water can the people at the bottom have left under the layers of exploitation? The material base determines the superstructure, and there are only so many surplus products. The bandits who live a slightly better life actually enclose the land on their own hills and cultivate it themselves, which are exempt from tax burdens. Even if the cultivated land is barren, it will not be worth the loss.

Of course, although these people live a pitiful life, it does not mean that they are good people. If they have a chance, they will never show mercy to travelers passing by. Skinning them and removing their bones is a literal meaning. Chengying is in the process of suppressing bandits. I have actually seen human flesh being dried. Therefore, Cheng Ying did not have the slightest psychological burden to kill these people. The next day, a large number of heads were piled outside Soto City, and they were built as capital officials in the most barbaric way.

The so-called capital official is actually a pyramid with human heads, which is an extremely barbaric custom used to intimidate the enemy.

It is indeed quite contrary to humanism to do this, but in many cases, more barbaric methods must be used to deal with barbarism. The wilderness outside Soto City is too big. Even if the army is equipped with two reconnaissance planes, it cannot conduct a search in the wild. Possibly across the board.

There must be some fish that slip through the net. If they don't use the most bloody methods to scare them, Soto City will still be a piece of fat in their eyes.

And this kind of shock was also aimed at the residents of Soto City. They thought they had encountered a group of weak soldiers. They did not know how to massacre the city or plunder. They even looked like wooden men. Some children broke into the military camp. They were only driven out, which made them forget that this was a powerful army that could break through the city in one day.

At this time, the Beijing official several meters high outside the city reminded them that this army can also kill people, and it can kill more ruthlessly than anyone else. The most important thing is that with the same number, no one seems to be able to beat them. .

Cheng Ying is quite satisfied with the attitude of the residents in the city towards his Tulip First Legion, and they are respectful but not afraid. This is just right. This can ensure that there will be no trouble when he comes back to take over the city.

One hundred people and ten cannons were left to temporarily garrison the city. In fact, they were just to maintain law and order. If the army of the Barak Kingdom came to attack, they would withdraw directly.

When the army returns, the walled Soto City cannot be defended by the Barak Kingdom's army at all. It is guaranteed to beat him until he doesn't even recognize him.

In this way, Chengying led his large army to the banks of the Cao River and built a pontoon bridge, not to cross the river, but to make it easier to get on the boat.

Because the World's End had already arrived, the residents of Soto City looked at the huge monster driving in the Grass River and thought it was a monster that could only appear in myths. For a while, the news that Duke Tulip had God's help spread like wildfire.

And the rumors are getting more and more mysterious, saying that Duke Tulip's army is assisted by the thunder god, and thunder will roll in every battle. One day, thunder falls and splits the enemy's city wall into powder, which makes Cheng Ying's mouth twitch.
