The devil is coming

Chapter 884 The setting sun is like blood
The soldiers and civilians stationed on the city wall of the Liang Kingdom discovered something that terrified them early the next morning.
The Yan people no longer retreated northward with a group of troops every day as before, but dispersed in a scattered manner.
Not only outside the northern city wall of Liang's capital, but also in the west, east and south, there were military strongholds of the Yan army.
then,
The soldiers of Yan Army, the specially captured Liang Di Zhao Di, and the civilian men previously captured from Qian State, began to cut down forests on a large scale in the surrounding area and make siege equipment;
The Yan people did not make any cover-up, they were open and bright and showed it clearly to the people in the city.
This is not a trick, let alone a face-saving project to scare people. Such a large-scale operation and expansion cannot be faked at all, so that the cost of cheating is not much different from that of the real thing. , so there is no need to distinguish between the so-called true and false.
Everyone knows,
Yan people,
This is about to attack the city!
But there is one thing that makes people feel surprised. The ordinary way to attack a city is to surround three and one is missing. The missing side, no matter whether there is an ambush or not, at least makes you look like it is a way out, so as to reduce the defense of the city. the determination of the military and civilians;
But unfortunately, the Yan people surrounded the city wall on all sides this time.
What does this mean?
After this scene was opened,
The people of Yan continued to do what they should do. The king's order had been issued, and no one in the Yan army dared to disobey it;
Even if the military supplies from the rear were transported from Nanmen Pass, they were barely enough to squeeze through the gap between their teeth. Even if the soldiers and horses that went out to plunder every day traveled further and further away, the supplies they brought back were getting less and less;
Even though half of the entire army began to cut down on meals, the Qiu Ba people were already starving.
But that royal flag stands there;
On one side of the king's flag, there is also a set of armor hanging, which belongs to Uncle Tiger Wei.
The whole army already knew what had happened to Tiger Wilber's body, and the prince gave the order bluntly:
We want revenge!
When the person issuing the order has high enough prestige and status, he can definitely convince the public;
When the reason for starting a war can arouse the common hatred among soldiers;
When the war goal is direct enough and hopeful enough;
With the blessing of various factors,
In fact, the Qiuba people, to a certain extent, have overcome the panic and dissatisfaction that the lack of food should have caused, and instead put these negative emotions into daily preparations.
hunger,
anger,
sad,
violent,
In fact, it has not disappeared, but has been temporarily suppressed and delayed;
The calmer it is now, the more terrifying the catharsis will be from the day the city is broken.
And then,
Even the prince could not stop these soldiers from commanding their own bodies and blades in an inhuman way.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The dull knocking sound kept coming.
When the whole country attacked Chu, under the leadership of King Jingnan, the Yan army fought for a long time. Although it is not good at it now, it finally followed the pig and did not understand anything.
And Xue San is here to serve as a technical guide. It is impossible to build sophisticated and large-scale siege equipment in a short time. This requires a complete set of workshops and foundries like the Pingxi Palace in the East of Jin Dynasty that can provide large-scale siege equipment for the army in wartime. Provide adequate ordnance spare parts;
But what we faced was not a majestic pass or a dangerous pass, and the defenders were not elite Chu troops who were good at defensive warfare;
Just make do, it's enough.
"Work harder! Build it!"
The third master stood on Fan Li's shoulder, directing the civilian workers to carry out these operations. All around, there were Yan army soldiers holding whips and long knives to "spur".
Anyone who dares to be lazy will be whipped down with a whip. If anyone says he can't do it anymore, he will be pulled out and killed like a chicken to encourage others.
The cold and inhumane side of war is vividly displayed here.
There is no general who wears golden armor in every battle, nor is there any iron-bone tenderness under the blood.
The essence of the war process is still the accumulation of bones.
Moreover, the Yan people's own lack of food and grass naturally made it impossible to provide these captured civilians with good food. The heavy physical labor in a short period of time, even if they were not dead or disabled, their bodies would have been overstretched.
It is true that humans are more durable than war horses, but both humans and war horses will essentially be squeezed and crippled.
During the reign of the first emperor of Yan State, Yan had always maintained some restraint in its external expansion wars;
Although the King of Jingnan killed and captured the Qingluan army on the bank of Wangjiang River, the killing of civilians in large numbers has never really occurred. Occasional war damage is unavoidable and cannot be counted;
It can only be said that the late emperor, King Jingnan, and King Zhenbei have a simple feeling of being under the emperor;
They do not naively think that "Zhu Xia belongs to the same family", but in their understanding, the entire Zhu Xia will belong to their own family in the future. If you kill and destroy it, you will destroy it too much. Don't you have to take care of it in the future? ?
And after Prince Pingxi came to power,
In terms of war work, it began to show a kind of "cruel" and "unrestrained";
Scenes and methods of wars that wiped out descendants began to appear constantly, and they no longer cared about local grievances and folk rumors.
A small part of the reason is that the pace of Yan's annexation of the world has stalled, and the purpose of the war is no longer like the initial annexation of Jin, but has become confrontation and consumption;
The main reason is,
King Ping Xi himself rarely cares about the overall situation and understands long-term interests, but he still decisively chooses the short-term pleasure in front of him.
in fact,
King Pingxi himself is a very "lady-friendly" person.
but,
He is good at pretending to be blind.
"Harder, over there, over there, harder!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
……
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Liu Dahu was cutting ribs. The long knife was not suitable for cutting vegetables and the sound was a bit loud.
The prince sitting over there, drinking tea, frowned slightly.
Road:
"Take your father's Ryubuchiri."
Liu Dahu stood up and walked to his father.
Without asking his father if he wanted to, he directly picked up Long Yuan and walked back to the ribs.
"..." Long Yuan.
In Liu Dahu's understanding, Long Yuan has been used at home a lot in recent years, and he has long been used to it.
The sword master didn't stop him, but he still said angrily while drinking tea:
"Why don't you use your Wuya?"
"Too heavy."
Prince Pingxi gave a good explanation.
After putting down the tea cup,
The prince picked up the sword again, put it in his hand and began to look at it.
This is the sword of Baili Sword. This sword should have a name, but its name has long been combined with its owner.
The original name of Baili Sword is Baili Feng, but this sword is actually called Baili Sword.
"What can you tell?"
The sword master smiled.
In the smile, it can be said that "you are just a vulgar martial artist" is clearly displayed on his face.
The prince did not take it seriously;
He has become accustomed to the swordsman's high self-esteem and pretentiousness.
"I just wanted to see if it was worth it."
"What, you still want to sell it?" Sword Master asked.
"Ask the official in Qian Kingdom if he is willing to redeem this sword."
"The Baili family is also very rich." Sword Master reminded, "A wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Yes." Zheng Fan nodded and handed the sword back to the sword master.
The sword master shook his head and said, "Just leave it where you are."
"Ok?"
"When you find a suitable successor, give this sword to him."
"Where's the sword maid?"
"That's my disciple."
"it is good."
At this time, the blind man walked in.
After entering, he didn't say anything and just stood there.
Zheng Fan looked at the blind man and said helplessly, "You want to persuade me again?"
The blind man shook his head and said, "No."
"That is?"
"My subordinate is just a little dissatisfied."
"Okay, you say."
"Before making a decision next time, my lord, could you please ask your subordinates to give them time to prepare? If I had known that I was going to attack the city, my subordinates should have terminated the previous troop return north early and would not have given the south gate any time." Send a letter to Guan there to ask them to slow down the logistics supply."
"My fault." Zheng Fan admitted his mistake directly and frankly.
He can pat his butt and run out to go deep alone and take strategic risks. The greatest confidence is that there is someone in the family who can clean up and stabilize the situation.
The blind man shrugged and said, "An envoy has been sent from the capital. The king is willing to leave the city and ask for surrender."
"Where's that General Pu?"
"He was not mentioned," replied the blind man.
"The leader of the country is just a puppet. After the Qian-Chu coalition forces left, the person in Liang who really spoke was the one named Pu."
"Yes."
"Tell the messenger that I want those two to come out of the city and ask for surrender."
"My subordinate understands."
The blind man walked out of the handsome tent.
The sword master said: "Do you still want to surrender?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "I just hope they can open the city gate by themselves."
"It may be a loss for morality." The sword master reminded.
"I don't care, and I have never cared. This feeling is just like what people in the world like to say to you: You can't imagine the majestic swordsman..."
"I understand, but there will be trouble in the future. Some cities could have been informed, but because of this incident..."
"Lao Yu, my child is about to be born."
The swordsman blinked.
"So, I have to rush back and accompany the mother to give birth to the child. I don't want to waste any time here, haha."
"That's a good reason."
"You think so, Dahu, let's marinate the ribs and braise them."
……
In the military camp, the soldiers’ daily rations had long been halved;
But inside the handsome tent, the smell of meat wafted out.
Don’t hide it, don’t be reserved, Your Majesty, you must not only eat well, but also eat well.
Outside the commander's tent, even Chen Yang and the others do not have this kind of treatment. They have to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and they all work together to make a half-full meal.
However, no one would think it was unfair. After returning from a war, King Pingxi was already equal to King Jingnan back then.
Liu Dahu's cooking skills can only be called average.
The last person to cook was the Sword Master.
The sword master who once traveled to the ends of the world with his sword, in recent years, when he holds a spoon, he is probably as good as when he holds a sword.
Zheng Fan sat nearby and watched the Sword Master cooking.
I didn’t wear a filter, and I didn’t do any imagination, but the Juggernaut’s cooking movements were really graceful.
Every bit of condiment and every spoonful of soup was kneaded to the extreme by the Sword Master. Even while cooking, Zheng Fan could feel the Sword Master's sword energy flowing slightly.
Use sword energy to remove fascia, use sword energy to collect juice;
An ordinary plate of spareribs is demonstrating true luxury in the world.
When the dish is served,
The prince didn't even care about the rules at the dinner table. He directly picked up a piece with his hands and put it into his mouth. Hiss, this texture and taste.
"Old Yu, you are unreasonable, and you only showed your skill now."
"You can't stop your mouth when you eat."
Juggernaut fried another plate of vegetables, without washing the pot, added an egg and made egg drop soup.
One meat, one vegetable and one soup, serve.
The prince and the sword master sat next to each other, holding bowls, and began to eat.
below,
Chen Xianba, Zheng Man and Liu Dahu each nibbled on a little more than half a bun.
Their treatment was the same as that of ordinary soldiers, and their rations were rationed. Therefore, even Zheng Man, who was always the most careless, did not dare to gobble it up at this time. He had to let the bun stay in his mouth for a while before swallowing it reluctantly.
The two people sitting there eating had no intention of calling them over to join in. They even didn't even want to throw away a piece of the fragrant ribs.
At this time,
There are messengers running outside,
"Report!!! Liang Guo has surrendered. The Lord and General Pu will leave the city to accept the surrender!"
"Oh, it's a little lighter."
The sword master looked at the few remaining ribs and wanted to reply: You are going too far.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally became more tolerant.
Road:
"Make it often for children, so they won't be able to eat too much."
"Next time, add more ingredients." The prince kept pushing further.
The sword master took a breath and held it back.
Nod,
"it is good."
The Liang people asked for surrender very quickly.
When it was decided to let the king go out of the city to surrender, he actually knelt down on one knee;
But the Yan people did not accept it and asked General Pu to follow him in surrendering. They just bent their other legs.
Under this situation,
The forces within Liang's capital were no longer controllable by the so-called puppet leader and General Pu.
When the Qian-Chu coalition forces are far away,
When the Yan people set up their battle formations and prepared to attack the city,
The capital of the Liang Kingdom, which was worried internally and had no external reinforcements, knew in their hearts that it was impossible to defend it, whether it was soldiers, civilians or nobles.
Therefore,
General Pu's men rebelled.
He was controlled, forcibly removed from his armor, put on linen clothes, tied with ropes, and thrown into a donkey cart.
The king of the country was a little better. He was dressed in white, his hair was down, he was holding a sheep, and he could walk out on his own.
General Pu, who was tied to the donkey cart, cursed:
"The Yan people have run out of food and fodder, and are unable to succeed. As long as we hold on and hold on for less than half a month, the Yan people will retreat, they will retreat!!!!"
"Who asked you to send out the body of that Yanrenhu Weibo? Who asked you to send it out, idiot, idiot!!!!"
"The Yan people are already exhausted, and they still want to force themselves to attack the city. Do you really think that the Yan people are just asking for surrender!!!!"
"One more of me is not more, one less of me is not more. What do the Yan people care about? The purpose of the Yan people is not to surrender. You are a bunch of pigs and you are a bunch of losers!
The Yan people want to massacre the city, they want to massacre the city, they want to massacre the city! ! ! ! ! ! "
"woo woo woo woo………"
A former subordinate of General Pu inserted a rope into General Pu's mouth and tied a knot at the back so that he could no longer speak.
city ​​gate,
turn on.
The king led the sheep and walked in front. General Pu, who was tied up with five flowers, was twitching constantly on the donkey cart and fell behind.
The nobles, officials, and prominent figures in the city all began to leave the city and surrendered to the Yan people.
The reaction of the Yan people was also very fast. The three uncles Chen Yang, Luo Ling and Ren Juan each led their troops and swarmed forward.
In the eyes of the Liang people, this was a quarrel among the Yan army generals over who would accept the invitation to surrender. After all, no one was willing to give up this great achievement.
"I'll rush to the door."
"Old Ren, you control the city wall."
"Lao Luo, rush in."
Chen Yang arranged the steps and then said: "I have done enough, I will leave these to you."
"Straight bitch, if it weren't for this not being the right time, I would still want to beat you up now!"
"It's so irritating, so irritating!"
Chen Yang laughed loudly,
Road:
"We are all very hungry, let's get started!"
"kill!!!!"
"kill!!!!"
……
The prince and the sword master stretched out their chopsticks together, trying to pick up the last piece of ribs.
But unfortunately, under the premise that the sword master refused to let it go, it was naturally impossible for this piece of ribs to fall into the prince's bowl.
no way,
The prince simply poured the remaining half bowl of rice into the plate, scratched the soup base, and continued eating.
The sword master said while enjoying the last piece of ribs:
"There is something I don't know whether I should say or not."
"Say."
"Offering a human body as a statue is a form of respect."
"I know."
It is a kind of respect for the deceased to use good wood to make the damaged body intact.
It is said that Cao Cao did this to Guan Yu.
Therefore, in the view of the powerful people in the Liang Kingdom, this was actually a very low attitude of admitting their mistakes. It was not a deliberate provocation. In fact, they did not expect that during a street patrol, the excited people would react to Hu Weibo. The corpse did such a thing.
The prince was eating rice and said:
"There will probably be no more wars in the next few years. We have to give this war a good end. Although the Liang Kingdom was changed because of the change of its leader, it turned its back on Yan and defected to Chu.
But in essence, it is because the noble people of this country are willing to do this.
This time, I am just trying to remind people like Zhu Xia not to think that everything can be eliminated by pushing a scapegoat.
When I was in Fan City before, General Nian made an oath that anyone who dared to offend our great Yan Tianwei would be punished no matter how far away they were.
No matter how loudly you shout, it will only be heard. You have to be serious about it.
In this world, there are many people who talk about morality, but not many people truly believe in it.
Morality does not always depend on whose voice is louder, but whose knife is brighter.
The nobles of Chu State, the generals of Qian State, as well as those Shanyue, natives, Beiqiang people, and these small countries, all these bits and pieces.
Wait a few years,
The State of Yan came to rest and recuperate,
When we really want to start a unification war,
This blood can make them think more carefully when making decisions.
Xiao Liuzi once said to me,
Barbarians are fearful of power but not virtuous;
In fact, everyone is a bitch.
If benevolence, righteousness and morality are so useful, the Qian Kingdom would have unified all the Xia a long time ago. "
The prince picked up the plate and put the last bit of rice wrapped in soup into his mouth.
"Snapped!"
put down the plate,
The prince patted his belly in an awkward manner,
Road:
"I am full, but I don't know if the men under my command will be full."
said,
The prince got off the table,
Walk to the entrance of Shuai Zhang,
Open the curtain,
far away,
at sunset,
The setting sun is like blood!
----
There won’t be any tonight. I have to spend some energy to sort out the upcoming plot in advance, so hold on tight to everyone!Then, ask for a monthly ticket again.
