Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 301
The dissipation of the green spirit in Xuchang City means that the people's popularity is no longer on the side of the city's officials, and the Confucianists suddenly dare not continue to use the "Speaking of the Law" as before.

However, the Jianghuai Army's offensive became more and more violent under the command of Lu Bu.

As Wei Yue and Song Xian led the troops to rush to the city, the battle also entered a fierce stage.

On the city tower, the army array faced waves of arrows from Cao Xing. The army guarding the city was already crumbling.

"Kill!" Wei Yue rushed up to the city wall with a knife, without saying a word, he slashed out with a single knife. Although the sharp blade was not as destructive as the knife gang, it could still cut people to pieces.

Taking advantage of this time, Wei Yue slashed three times and beheaded the three young generals who surrounded him. Behind him, more Jianghuai soldiers rushed up. Cao Jun's morale was not high. The army rushed to the top of the city, the morale was low, and the army formation was difficult to maintain.

Cao Peng roared when he saw this, and rushed towards Wei Yue with his gold-edged shovel in his hand, and shoveled at Wei Yue with the gold-edged shovel in his hand.

Wei Yue raised his sword to meet each other, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, Wei Yue was shocked by the shovel and rolled away.

Seeing this, Cao Peng laughed loudly, strode forward, and shoveled at Wei Yue again. Pushing the golden shovel forward, Wei Yue tried his best to block it, the palm against the back of the knife was strangled with blood, still unable to stop the golden shovel from approaching, he could only watch helplessly as the golden shovel got closer and closer to him.

"The thief will be safe!" Song Xian climbed up from the ladder at this time, and shouted angrily when he saw this scene, and stabbed Cao Peng's forehead with his gun.

Cao Peng snorted angrily, and had no choice but to abandon Wei Yue and turn around to block the long spear. Wei Yue finally had a chance to breathe, and quickly rolled and got up on the spot.

Cao Peng and Song Xian fought at the same place over there, but Cao Peng was superb in martial arts and as powerful as an ox. After only a few rounds, Song Xian obviously couldn't hold it anymore. Wei Yue rushed forward with a roar and fought Cao Peng with Song Xian.

The terrain of the city wall is inherently narrow, which is not suitable for long weapons. Wei Xu and Song Xian cooperated tacitly with each other, and Cao Pengkong had strength.

Seeing the enemy troops coming up continuously and the city was in danger of falling, Cao Peng was startled and angry. He turned his head to look around, but saw Wang Zhong running towards this side.

"Don't come here, drive the enemy army down the city first!" Seeing Wang Zhong rushing this way, Cao Peng shouted.

Wang Zhong nodded, and under Cao Peng's stunned gaze, he brandished his weapon and killed the three-person battle group all the way, and retreated straight to the direction of Wengcheng, from where he could retreat to the city.

"Arrangement!" Wei Yue took the opportunity to look around and saw his own soldiers all around. He breathed a sigh of relief and shouted. Many Jianghuai soldiers quickly approached to form an array.

Their first army formation on the tower was formed.

Cao Peng's complexion changed, and he quickly slapped Wei Yue with a shovel.

"Iron wall!" Wei Yue swung his saber forward, forming an air shield. Cao Peng slapped it with a shovel, and while the air shield was shaking, Cao Peng was shocked back.

"Arrangement, sleepy!" On the other side, Song Xian also found that Cao's army on the city wall was getting fewer and fewer, and their soldiers and horses were more and more, so they didn't talk nonsense at the moment. Then Cao Peng was trapped in the army formation.

"Wang Zhong, traitor!" Cao Peng roared angrily, even if he wanted to call for reinforcements at this moment, he couldn't call. He roared and waved the gold-rimmed shovel, swinging all his strength, madly attacking the surrounding battle formations.

"Combined!" Wei Xu and Song Xian gave an order, and the two sides joined forces, and then eight soldiers with Yuandun surrounded Cao Peng, narrowing the area of ​​the trapped formation.

"Bang bang bang~"

Cao Peng kept smashing around with gold-edged shovels, but the battle formation formed by the two became more and more stable, and the area left for Cao Peng became smaller and smaller, until eight sword and shield hands moved Cao Peng into a narrow space. In the range.

More than a dozen soldiers with spears stepped forward and stabbed the spears into the army formation.

"roar~"

Cao Peng was unwilling to die like this, and wanted to rush out of the battle frantically. Three spears were broken by him, but one spear pierced his waist fiercely at a very fast speed, and Cao Peng's body froze. Turning over and trembling, he slapped the spear, but the second spear took the opportunity to pierce his chest and abdomen, Cao Peng stared, followed by the third and fourth spears.

This fierce general of the Cao army who could fight Wei Yan and Ji Ling died alone under the siege of the army, and he couldn't close his eyes until he died.

"Quick, open the city gate!" Seeing Cao Peng's life and death, Song Xian shouted quickly, and led his troops to kill the city, leaving Wei Yue here to open the city gate for the army.

In fact, at this time, it doesn't matter whether the city gate is opened or not. The entire southern city wall has been occupied by the army.

Some of the famous Confucianists who guarded the city died among the rebellious army, and some saw the opportunity early and retreated to the city first.

However, a few members of the imperial party finally realized the difference between letting Lv Bu enter the city and letting Lv Bu attack the city. Kong Rong, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji and others saw that the situation was not good, so they withdrew first, but there were still a few people in the rebellious army. He roared angrily: "Where is Lu Bu? I want to see him, dare to attack the capital!"

It's just that these shouts didn't last long. They lost their popular support and were not much better than ordinary people, and they were quickly eliminated among the chaos.

"Boom~"

Both the city gate and the Wengcheng gate were opened, and Wei Yan led an army into the city. Looking at the Wengcheng where he had been trapped for a day and a night, Wei Yan laughed loudly and led his army into the city.

"The thief will never go any further!" Xu Ding led his men to the gate of Wengcheng, and when he saw Wei Yan rushing out, he shouted and stood in front of Wei Yan.

"It's you?" Wei Yan looked at Xu Ding, who had already formed a battle formation, but the battle formation of hundreds of people seemed ridiculous at the moment: "Xu Chang has been broken, if you are smart, you should put down your weapons and surrender now, not here. Resist!"

"My Xu family are all loyal people, can they surrender?" Xu Ding immediately glared at Wei Yandao.

"Then go to hell!" Wei Yan snorted coldly, forming an formation in an instant, and the army led by Wei Yan surged towards Xu Ding.

"Kill!" Xu Ding's eyes turned red, and he roared to kill Wei Yan.

"Bang bang bang~"

After the two knives collided several times, Xu Ding's head was chopped off by Wei Yan, and hundreds of soldiers behind him also collapsed, and were quickly annihilated by the rushing soldiers.

As a large number of Jianghuai troops entered the city, the situation in Xuchang was completely chaotic. The people in the city ran for their lives in panic, but they soon realized that something was wrong. The Jianghuai troops who rushed into the city did not seem to kill them indiscriminately. When encountering ordinary people, these people will basically not initiate active attacks on them.

At the same time, there is also a special law enforcement team in the city shouting: "Those who disturb the common people without permission will be killed! Those who rape women, beheaded! Those who take the opportunity to cause trouble, beheaded!"

The Jianghuai Army can achieve this, in addition to the emphasis on discipline during daily training, the most important thing is that the Jianghuai Army has extremely high treatment, family members' taxes are halved, and the food they eat is the best on weekdays. military pay.

You must know that in this era, even the elite are only allowed to not hand in the looted materials during the massacre of the city. This kind of professional treatment has never appeared before, and it is the first time for the Jianghuai Army.

Of course, it is also an important reason for the family members to be concentrated in the rear and be looked after by the court, and what is finally presented to the world is what it is now. A teacher of benevolence and righteousness who is disciplined, a teacher of benevolence and righteousness that people in this era have never even heard of.

"Zi Yan, even if you don't slaughter the city, don't stop the soldiers from making a fortune!" Lu Bu and Chu Nan were the last to enter the city. In fact, with Lu Bu's character, even if he wasn't the first to enter the city, he should have come in earlier. It's just that as the protagonist, Chu Nanjue must have the self-consciousness of being a big boss, and can't rush ahead in everything.

Looking at the scene in the city that was so different from the past after the city was broken, Lu Bu frowned.

After all, for this era, looting after breaking down the city is almost common sense, and it is benevolent not to slaughter the city, and there is really no need not to disturb the people.

"Father-in-law, does this rule save many lives?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

Lu Bu shook his head, how could he care about this?
"Runan had a population of over 180 million when it was in Yuan Shu's hands. After Cao Cao's attack, our army came again. Now the calculated population is full, 89." Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu and said, "Among them Including many hidden households!"

That is to say, when Yuan Shu was under him, no matter how well he lived, the population of Runan might exceed 2 million, but after Cao Cao and this war, the population of Runan has dropped by more than half!

This is also the main reason why Chu Nan mainly focused on the new army this time. If he joined forces with the old army to attack, he might be directly led to ruin.

"So many?" Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.

"Well." Chu Nan said as he walked: "From now on, this place will belong to my father-in-law, and these people will also support my father-in-law in the future. The better you treat them, the more stable your father-in-law's status will be. On the contrary, it is those noble families. If my father-in-law is unhappy with them , you can kill them at will, as long as the hearts of the people are with me, they will not be able to achieve great things!"

Lu Bu's strategy here is to unite the small and middle-class people and the low-level people to fight the big gentry. The gentry is not within the scope of their wooing. If they kneel to beg for food, they can give alms according to their ability. But before that, of course, take care of the allies first!
This attitude must be shown to the world that Lu Bu is different from other princes. In this way, with a clear position, future battles will be smoother and smoother!

"What Ziyan said is very close to my heart!" Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words. Chu Nan's set of policies was set in Xuzhou, not only for Chu Nan's use, but also for Lu Bu's repeated emphasis. Approved this set.

"Father-in-law, leave the battle to General Wei and the others. I'll go to the palace to meet the emperor. Although we came in, we are good people. When we meet the emperor, we must respect and be polite!"

"Don't worry, I am a loyal minister of the great man!"
