Qiming 1158

Chapter 393

Not every officer in charge in the barracks is happy with such behavior.

It's not pleasant, but there are people who turn a blind eye, because there's nothing wrong with it.

Doing so actually helps maintain order in the barracks and limit the number of deserters.

After all, there are only a few people who have money to buy a way to escape, and those who have no money are the majority.

Give these guards a little favor. In order to maintain the "market price", they will naturally chase and beat those who have no money but try to forcibly escape.

Killing alive is fine.

Some deserters were cut into eight pieces, tied to pillars and burned to death, hung up and beaten to death with whips, and even chopped into pieces and cooked and eaten...

There's nothing they can't do, there's no cruelty they can't do.

The more strict and vicious they show to the outside world, the higher the price of buying roads from them, which will also reduce the escape rate of the signing troops and civilians, so that this figure will not be too ugly.

In the end, the guards made money, and their "filial piety" was no less.

There have come and gone, and it's not difficult to come again next time.

Hello, I am good, everyone good pattern is formed in this way.

In the eyes of the emperor, marching and fighting was a serious matter, but in the eyes of some people, it was a business opportunity.

With a little power, you can always find opportunities to make a fortune.

Fighting wars and making money have never been unrelated things. With only some subtle operations, fighting can become a recipe for some people to get rich.

And who cares about the blood and tears of those bitter signing troops and civilian husbands?

Nobody will care.

When they enter the army, they are considered dead.

The huge and terrifying doomsday chariot of the Jin Army was fueled by the flesh and blood of the signing army and the civilians, and it roared forward.

In front of them was a vast land of Hebei, and behind them were broken corpses and a huge amount of excrement and food residues that almost piled into mountains.

It was a nightmare for the logistics team, but it fattened the land they passed.

Presumably in the future, the land moistened by corpses and excrement will become very fertile. If there is no flooding of the Yellow River, a large number of crops will surely grow.

The Jin army advanced all the way and expanded the scope of investigation all the way. With the support of a large number of troops, the Rangers of the Restoration Army could not stop the Jin Army Rangers from advancing, so they retreated one after another.

The Golden Army Rangers then sent the scenes they saw back to the rear, handed it over to the central command department, and handed it over to the emperor to know.

So Wanyanliang learned that along the way, from the south of Bazhou to the east of Mozhou and the east of Hejianfu, there were no people, and the city of Renqiu was empty. Except for traps and damaged roads, there was really nothing else. .

Jianbi Qingye did a good job. It seemed that he was determined to fight Jin Jun to the end, which made Wanyanliang feel very uncomfortable, but also found it very challenging.

The more intense Su Yonglin's resistance is, the more unwilling he is to capture him, then when he is finally killed, he is captured, and when he is brought to the Central Capital to perform the sheep raising ceremony, the sense of accomplishment will be very great.

Let an enemy who brings a huge threat to him kneel in front of him, howling and begging for mercy, kneeling on the ground, throwing his body to the ground, how happy is that?

Or tying him up, wantonly humiliating his family in front of him, killing those he cares about, and looking at his pained expression, what kind of enjoyment would that be?

Wanyanliang felt very excited just thinking about it, and he couldn't wait to enjoy this pleasure.

On the tenth day of November, Wanyanliang's vanguard army arrived at the outskirts of Hejian City and looked at the tall, wide and deep Hejian City. They did not choose to attack by force, but retreated a distance to choose a suitable place for the army to set up camp.

Then the Vanguard Army sent someone to report the news of Hejian City defense to Wanyan Liang, so Wanyan Liang learned that the Restoration Army had transformed Hejian City into a super war fortress.

The lowest part of the city wall is about [-] feet, and the highest point is even more than [-] feet.

Now that it is winter, many rivers in the north have frozen, and the moat of Hejian City cannot be avoided, but the Hejian defender seems to have an idea to directly drain the water and empty the moat, and the moat directly becomes a width of four feet and three feet deep. Zhang's big pit.

There are many flags and flags on the city wall, full of the words [Expel Hulu and restore China]. There are many defenders, and a lot of defending weapons can be vaguely seen.

Seeing the Jin army approaching, the defending army did not show panic at all, but stood ready.

As you can imagine, this is an elite army.

At present, they don't know the specific number of this unit, but just by looking at the military appearance, they know that this battle is not easy to fight.

Wanyan Liang thought for a moment, and then asked Wanyan Benjian, the commander-in-chief of the left side, about the tactics.

Wanyan Benjian is also a veteran of the four dynasties. He followed Wanyan Agu to fight the cavalry.

He has a certain military talent. When he was young, he followed the first generation of warriors of the Jin Kingdom to fight continuously in the Central Plains, from Hedong to Guanzhong, in Guanzhong to fight the Southern Song Dynasty and Xixia, and even attacked Tubo, and made a lot of credit.

However, it is not necessarily true to say how talented he really is. After the war period, Wanyan Benjian has been leading the troops in the central government, rarely dispatched to fight again, and has been blamed by Wanyan Liang for some family disputes. .

But he is more able to live, and he has lived until now, with old qualifications and high status, and he is a character of the same rank as Wuyanpuluhun.

Wuyan Puluhun is now chasing the remnants of the Liao army in Liaodong, and can't dispatch the southern expedition, then Wanyan Benjian is the best candidate.

Wanyanliang took him by his side, ready to ask questions about military affairs.

Hearing that the Hejian city was tall, wide and deep, with strict defenses, Wanyan Benjian frowned.

"Although I haven't seen Hejian City, it must be very difficult to attack the city. The Han people's art of war always emphasizes that when the army is marching to fight, siege is the most helpless means to use. The tall, wide and deep city does not have more than ten times the strength of the army. Siege, difficult to attack."

Wanyanliang pouted and didn't care.

"When our ancestors marched south, Hejian, Zhending and other big cities are said to have been conquered in just a few days. Before I did not check it for a while, I was also attacked by thieves and took Hejian and Zhending, which is enough to prove that these big cities are not so much. It is difficult to attack, and the old generals should not give too much praise to the tactics of the Han people."

Wanyan Ben saw that he was getting older and his courage was not as strong as he used to be. He was a little afraid of this emperor who had rudely blamed him, so he repeatedly said yes and did not dare to refute.

The army continued to move forward, and when Wanyan Liang saw what the state of Hejian City was, his own face turned ugly.

The defensive state of Hejian City, if nothing else, if the Restoration Army attacked Zhongdu, the defensive preparations his Zhongdu could do would probably be like this.

At most, the number of people will increase, and the others are really hard to say.

Refusal of horses, caltrops, pits, tall city walls, urn city, soldiers guarding the city, and equipment for defending the city, at first glance, there is a feeling of scalp numbness.

Even a non-professional military personnel like Wanyanliang can feel the strength of Hejian City, let alone a professional military personnel.

Wanyan Benjian looked at Hejiancheng with a very solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, Hejian City is heavily defended. If we want to attack, our army will definitely lose a lot. If the defenders in the city are strong, our army may not be able to take this fortified city in two or three months. Although Hejian is very important, but The old minister thought that there was no need to blindly attack the city."

Wanyan Liang looked at the strong city and shook her head.

"Although the fortified city is difficult to obtain, Hejian is of great significance to Hebei. It must be attacked and must not be left alone. Moreover, such a large city can certainly carry a large number of troops. They will go out of the city and threaten our army's logistics, so we must not ignore it."

What Wan Yanliang said also made sense.

Although Wanyan Benjian didn't think that the first battle of the southern expedition had to start in Hejian City, since the emperor was determined to give Su Yonglin a ruthless attack, he must also prepare for this battle. .

An unprecedented fierce and brutal city attack and defense battle is about to start.
