Chapter 397 The Dilapidated Shuofang City
"Yunhao, how dare you...!" Liu Wenjing looked into Yunhao's eyes and almost burst into flames.A small marquis, the general of Zuo Wuwei.If you dare to catch him and shoot him, the right servant of the Shangshu is a fucking rebel.

"Come here, the right servant of the Shangshu shot Liu Wenjing. Roaring about the accountant, presumptuously involved in military affairs, and with bad intentions. Take it down!" Yun Hao said one sentence at a time, and Xiong Kuohai behind him walked over with a grinning grin.

"No...!" The guards behind Liu Wenjing rushed to protect Liu Wenjing.But before he could say the word rude, Xiong Kuohai's horizontal knife chopped off half of his head.The half of the head with the eyes flew far away and hit a school lieutenant, the brains were still fucking hot.

"Yunhao, you are so brave!" Liu Wenjing didn't believe that Yunhao would really catch him at first, but she didn't expect Yunhao to kill his guards now that he had made a move.Even if this feud is settled!

"Liu Xiang, I am wronged. You can argue again when you are in front of His Majesty."

"Yunhao! Don't think that your Majesty spoils you, so you can do whatever you want. This old man is the right servant of Shangshu. If you commit the crime, I will impeach you, old man...!" I couldn't continue, Xiong Kuohai's hand was like an eagle catching the little boy. It strangled his neck like a chicken.Liu Wenjing's face was flushed, and she couldn't speak a word.

In front of the ferocious majestic sea, Liu Wenjing's guards are as cowardly as quails.When confiscating the Hengdao, one of Liu Wenjing's guards yanked it.Immediately someone shouted, "Rebellion!"

Liu Wenjing closed her eyes in pain, and the sound of a knife piercing her flesh came from behind her.A dozen followers were all chopped into meat in an instant.Blood flowed all over the floor, and the smell of blood in the big tent was disgusting.

Yun Hao nodded to Xiong Kuo Hai, and Liu Wenjing would be strangled to death if Xiong Kuo Hai pinched him down.Catching Liu Wenjing is one thing, but killing Liu Wenjing is another.As the right servant of Tang Shangshu, a lot of people followed him to earn a living.In the imperial court, there are also people with a certain power.If you kill such a person, you may be hacked anytime soon.

Liu Wenjing was detained, and Yunhao unfolded the map and began to discuss with the officers how to get the Turkic people to stay.Looking left and right on the map, only Shuofang is a suitable place.There is a pass that was broken by the Turks, and it is stuck on the only way for the Turks to return.If you want to snipe the Turks, this is the most suitable place.

"Although the Turkic people have a lot of cavalry, in fact, the number of people they can really fight is only about 10. The remaining tens of thousands of people are herdsmen who accompanied the team and Han Chinese who plundered. In terms of marching speed, , They are not as fast as us. As long as the brothers work harder, it will not be a big problem to reach Shuofang before the Turks." Comparing the length of the map, Master Sheng Yan calculated silently in his heart.This guy learned a lot of knowledge in the academy, and he sat in the first row when Yun Hao gave lectures.Although taller, it will block other students.But Yun Hao never pushed him away!
"Master Hou's method of building a city with boiling water is available. Shuofang should be colder than Bingzhou City. It's just that we have 8000 people, how can we rob the Turks of [-] cavalry?" Qiu Shili thought about how fierce the Turks were when they attacked the city that day. Afraid of death, I have no bottom in my heart.

"That can only depend on His Royal Highness Qin, we just need to snipe the Turks. As long as His Highness takes advantage of the situation and stabs the Turks, the Turks will have to run back to the grassland obediently. At that time, let alone take away the Han slaves, they will be Turks. Many of the herdsmen may have to stay. But at that time, we didn’t dare to snipe. At that time, the Turkic people were crazy, and if we try hard, we can only fight to the death. It is reasonable to let them go back to the grassland.” Yun Hao said slowly.

This must be explained clearly, otherwise the person who just came back from the struggle of life and death.He will cherish life more than others. If there is another endless mobilization, Yun Hao feels that the guys under him are likely to mutiny.

Sure enough, I heard Yun Hao say that there is no need to beat him to death loudly.The generals and officers all breathed a sigh of relief. People will die in a war.Everyone understands this, but in the end there is still hope.If they knew that they were going to die, they would still not be reconciled.

Not to mention the nonsense that soldiers should die generously, bloodshed and sacrifice are things that are forced to do nothing.Given a choice, almost everyone would choose to live.Those who can really face death are either saints who have fully realized themselves, or lunatics.

Send someone to contact Li Er in Youzhou, and ask Li Er to wave his army to stab the Turkic ass in the back.Yun Hao watched the Turkic people leave his sight, and immediately led eight thousand Zuo Wuwei soldiers to take a detour to Shuofang City.When carrying them out, Yun Hao suddenly asked someone to bring Liu Wengjing with him.

With Liu Fulu's appearance, it is obviously unreliable to ask him to guard a cadre of Liu Wenjing's level.Maybe if he leaves the city with his front foot, Liu Fulu will release this Master Pushe with his back foot.And Liu Wenjing who was released didn't act like a monster, so that wasn't his character.In case the traitorous heart broke out, he sent a fast horse to chase the Turks and told Xieli that he might not live for a few days.

Master Sheng Yan's calculation was not wrong, Yun Hao thought that the Turks were all cavalry.That march must be as fast as the Mongols of later generations.But in reality, that's far from the case.

Usually when the Turks set off, there are Turkic cavalry in front.But behind, followed by a shepherd driving a large number of cattle and sheep.These people are the luggage of the Turks, and those cattle and sheep are the food that can move.The Turks are far from reaching the mobility level of the later Mongols.

It is possible to advance quickly when coming, but when going back.Everyone was robbing so much that the pack horses of many people were in danger of being unable to move.

This is also something that can’t be helped, the productivity on the grassland is low.Most of the herdsmen are poor, and even the so-called Turkic aristocrats are barely scumbags.Turkic people who can't even produce iron pots by themselves, you expect them not to be red-eyed by Han people, which is simply unrealistic.

Food must be robbed, it is a living thing.Women want to grab, who doesn't like to warm the bed.Men also want to rob, and it is always good to have multiple laborers in the family.As for the iron pot, it is even more important to grab it. A girl on the grassland gets an iron pot when she gets married, which is a valuable dowry.

The Turkic people with countless robbery results marched like a snail.Xieli was not in a hurry, anyway, he had already negotiated the terms with Liu Wenjing.In terms of cooperation, Liu Wenjing has a good reputation.Every time I promised the Turkic people, it was done properly.Xieli believes that this time is no exception, and if there is an accident, he is ready to do it again.After all, Datang's border line is so long, it is a good strategy to grab it and leave.

Moreover, Xieli noticed that the machinery for throwing kerosene and gunpowder bombs was unusually heavy.This kind of thing is not suitable for field battles, if you meet this thing in the wild.Jieli has the grasp of the city to kill them!Thinking of the disastrous defeat at the foot of Bingzhou City, Jieli felt a little heartbroken.A total of 7000 of the most valiant Turkic fighters, even in the bloodiest fight on the grassland, never killed [-] people once.These are the essence of the Ashina family!
Yunhao is very fortunate that the winter in Hebei is very cold this year, if it is in this month as usual.There is already a warm wind blowing, as long as there is a light rain.The ground that has been frozen all winter will turn into a muddy pond in an instant.

Not this year, the ground is still freezing hard in February.The steer pulled the heavy trebuchet and walked very fast, and the day marched down.Yunhao was pleasantly surprised to find that he had walked fifty miles.The news came from the scouts that the Turks could only travel forty miles a day.

Even if he didn't put in more effort, Yun Hao could still arrive at Shuofang City two days in advance.I really hope that the captured city pool has not suffered serious damage, and I also hope that the cold winter can last a little longer.Not much, half a month will be fine.

Hurry up, hurry up, when Yunhao finally sees Shuofang City.The eyes are full of surprises, because this is almost a complete city.Although there are traces of knives and axes on the city wall, it is still intact and there are no gaps.Except for the city gate that was skewed to one side, Yunhao couldn't see any damage.

Surprise is only a momentary thing, followed by loneliness and anger.This can be seen from the still intact city wall. If a tragic siege battle really took place, it is impossible that there would be no dead bodies like mountains.There are also broken armor and weapons, siege equipment and the like.

There are dead bodies, but not many.They were all gnawed to pieces by wild wolves, but judging from the remaining clothes, they were all Tang people, and they were all civilians.The Turkic people always control the killing without burying it, and it is the same for their enemies as well as for their own people.For no reason, not a single Turkic body was found.

Shuofang City was not breached at all, the Tang army in the city should have surrendered.

The Tang Empire established by Guozuo at the beginning has not yet controlled all the land left by the former Sui Dynasty.Especially in places like Hebei, where Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande took turns to scourge, many soldiers under Dou Jiande's command surrendered without even changing their uniforms, and were sent to guard the border in a place like Shuofang.

These guys who have milk and are mothers have no loyalty to the country at all.Not to mention, what kind of national justice and so on.As long as you can survive, you can live with food and drink.If they killed their parents with their own hands, maybe they wouldn't even care.

After the scouts checked, Yun Hao quickly entered the city with Zuo Wuwei.The damaged city gate needs to be repaired quickly, and the condition of the city needs to be checked.Finally, those cumbersome trebuchets had to be erected quickly.

The situation in the city is quite miserable. It has almost become a paradise for mice and crows.In broad daylight, there are foxes and wolves wandering the streets.On the fences of many yards, there are children's dead bodies strung together.Small corpses swayed in the wind like rag dolls.Their eyes were all pecked away by crows, and all of them had big black holes in their eyes.There are still frozen muscles on the side!

There are shocking black patches on the walls of the houses rammed with loess.If it is summer, it will be full of flies.There are corpses that have been gnawed to pieces by animals everywhere. There are old people and children, but young adults cannot be seen.

The crows in the sky "croaked" and "croaked", looking at these moving people without any fear.Rats and wolves are not very afraid of people.When walking into the house, some mice with red eyes even dared to rush up and eat the living.

The soldiers caught some mice and stuffed a few grains of soybeans into the mouse's anus.After soaking in the water for a while and then leaving it alone, Yunhao saw a wonderful scene after a while.

The big rats all over the street chased and bit each other, and the soybeans swelled.Those mice were crazy. Yun Hao saw several mice chasing and biting a wolf with his own eyes.

The dilapidated city gate was no longer usable, so Yunhao had no choice but to order the county government to be demolished.Pile the bricks up to the city gate and pour water on them.Overnight, it became impregnable there.There was no way out. This method blocked the way for the Turks to come in, and also blocked the way for them to come out.Yunhao didn't plan to go out from here, and fought the Turkic people outside the city, Yunhao thought it was the result of being kicked in the head by a donkey.

The trebuchet was quickly set up, and the soldiers dug a huge hole.Then ignited a lot of wood, including the two gates that broke the city several times.As long as the corpses are seen, they are thrown into the pit.The fire was emitting yellow smoke, and the yellow smoke exuding a scorched smell went straight into the sky.

Ling Jing counted the number of corpses, and was surprised to find that there were not too many corpses.Less than a thousand corpses were cleared from the entire Shuofang City, and none of them were young adults.You must know that Shuofang is Dayi, Hebei, the most prosperous city on the border with the Turks.There are still 2 to [-] people in a city of this size.

Fewer than a thousand bodies suggest that most were looted rather than killed by the Turks.Although I know that their fate after being looted will be very tragic.But as long as they're alive, it's always a good thing.Maybe they haven't been sent back to the grassland yet.Instead, following the Turkic army, they are wandering in Hebei.

Yun Hao made many soldiers fall from the top of the city.Many traps were dug on the ground. Facts have proved that those one-foot-deep pits can be very good against Turkic cavalry.A stone with a large head can also hinder the advance of the siege engine very well.When those Turkic soldiers tried to move the stone, it was the time when the eight-ox crossbow exerted its power.Under the city of Bingzhou, there were not one or two Turkic soldiers who were pushed to the ground like this.

I miss the weapon of mines very much, as long as a soldier steps on a landmine.Everyone will feel that there are landmines everywhere, and this thing has a great blow to people's psychology.As long as a landmine explodes, it will stop the entire team for a long time.

With gunpowder mines, it shouldn't be difficult, so I'll tell Mr. Yu later.Let's see if this old guy can fiddle with it.

As the tired soldiers climbed back to the city wall, it began to snow.The snowflakes are big but sticky. When you put your hands together and hold them together, it becomes a snowball.The pattering snow quickly made the world chaotic.The snow-white ground covered those traps, only those stones became bulging bags on the ground.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded, piercing through the chaotic world.Yun Hao threw down the snowball and ordered the whole team to assemble immediately.Here they come!
