Chapter 524: Let’s go, follow me and make a comeback
It was like a thunder on the ground, exploding throughout the night.
Noisy shouts rang out near Jinmingmen in the west of the city, and the crowd was excited and intensified.
Some people came in from outside the city and shouted loudly: "Mr. Chen only sinned against Da Hu and never asked for threats. If you resist to the end, you will die without a burial place."
"My family My mother-in-law has just come from Anyang, and Mr. Chen sent someone to bring her here in a carriage, saying that the house is fine, but if the fight continues, the land will be taken over." Another person who came in from outside the city shouted.
When the sergeants heard this, they all became pale.
This is so impactful.
If you surrender, "Never ask for threats."
Resist to the end and "repay the crime as before".
One positive and one negative leaves people with no way out.
Really, even if I cared about Dahu's kindness in giving me the land, I didn't want to fight at this time. People are selfish. Now you have the opportunity to lay down your weapons and go home to reunite with your parents, wife and children. The land and house are still yours. Do you accept it?
You will die if you stay in the city. Who can’t see this?
When the trenches and earth walls are built outside the city, who can rush out? And it's not just one, they dug three layers, and they really died without a place to bury them.
It doesn’t matter if you die, just give this life back to Dahu, but what about your family? The land and house are gone, and the family becomes refugees again, or slaves in the manor, who wants it?
The matter has come to this, and there is really no chance.
Some people had vaguely thought of this before, so their morale was low and they had no intention of fighting. It was just that everyone was looking at me and me, and they were in a subtle mood, and no one got up to take the lead.
Now that the people who "researched" from the Jin military camp have returned, raising their arms and shouting, breaking through this layer of window paper, there is nothing left to say.
No one will take action against Da Hu. If you can’t make him look down, then just open the city gate.
The "advanced students" ordered a few big-bodied people and invited them to come forward together, turn the winch, and lower the suspension bridge outside the city first.
Just a "bang" was heard, and the heavy suspension bridge fell to the ground, spanning both sides of the moat.
More than ten people came forward, shouted slogans in unison, and struggled to open the city gate.
The others stood aside and watched, neither helping nor stopping.
This may be the mentality of most sergeants in the city.
I thought about Da Hu's kindness and didn't want to do anything to him, but I also cared about my little family and didn't want to die in Yecheng. As a result, in the end, he became a "neutral" person, sitting back and watching the few greedy people in the crowd jump out.
We don’t take the initiative to rebel, we don’t refuse to rebel, and we won’t stop the rebellion. That’s what we are, complex people.
"Master Fu, someone is opening the Jinming Gate." Taobao was patrolling at the top of the city. After hearing the report from the soldiers, he raised his head and glanced twice, and then fell silent.
"Fu Jun..." the soldier reminded again.
"This is Wang Yang's plan, to get Shao's troops into the city, lay them down with bows and crossbowmen, and kill them all." Taobao explained.
"Master Fu, Wang Guoji did not send any crossbowmen. There is not a single person visible on the high ground of the house. There are no horses or barricades set up in front, and there are no sergeants waiting in full formation. This——"< br>
“Shut up, do you know more about soldiers than me?” Tao Bao scolded and said, “I am ordering everyone to go to the city and not to act rashly.”
"Promise." If the soldier realized something, he said no more.
"Send another five hundred people to my house."
"Yes."
Taobao waved his hand and asked the soldiers to leave, and then found another A close confidant asked him to take the official seal as a token, hang it down from the city, and go to the Jin army camp.
After doing all this, he sat on the tower on the ground, blowing the night wind, not knowing what he was thinking.
******
The huge movement of the lowering of the suspension bridge cannot be hidden from anyone.
The Nanyang soldiers who were doing "construction" on the periphery all night saw it. Although they were surprised, they responded immediately.
The auxiliary soldiers retreated with their tools.
The soldiers who were on guard immediately stepped forward.
Some of the soldiers who were sleeping in their clothes in the camp were also called out, and they lined up neatly to get out of camp.
After Yang Dan finished putting on his armor, he called a small governor named Yue Jian and ordered him to command a thousand people and station them in various places in the camp.
"Anyone who makes noise without permission will be whipped twenty times. Anyone who runs around and collides will be shot immediately, regardless of friend or foe." Before leaving, Yang Dan ordered.
"Yes." Yue Jian responded loudly and immediately dispatched men.
Most people are still sleeping.
The people who have been woken up are confused and may still be a little angry. Once they are allowed to make loud noises or even run around, it may cause the camp to roar, especially for people like Yang Dan who usually treat soldiers very well. A harsh person, many people are full of anger and have been dissatisfied with him for a long time. It is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to cause trouble and cause chaos.
Therefore, in the dark night, anyone who runs around without orders is considered an enemy by default and can be shot with a crossbow without any hesitation. In short, unrest must be nipped in the bud.
After settling in the camp, Yang Dan led 1,600 to 700 people, all elite members of Nanyang's wealthy families. Wearing iron armor and preparing for three battles, they rushed towards Jinmingmen in a mighty manner.
The Jinming Gate has been opened wide, and some people even opened their hands and shouted, expressing their willingness to surrender.
Yang Dan did not dare to take it lightly. Who knew whether it was a false surrender?
Fake surrender to trick you into entering the city, and then ambush you. This can not only win a victory and boost morale, but also make the defenders have no way out and be forced to go all the way. Fake surrender and killing people is too despicable, and it's very dangerous. It’s unbearable, and the opponent won’t believe it next time.
But Yang Dan still wants to give it a try, what if it is true?
These people under him are basically elite soldiers gathered by Nanyang's wealthy families. They have complete armor, sophisticated equipment, and continuous training. More than half of them were contributed by the Le family.
In the past, they lacked combat experience. This time they followed him north and fought many battles, killing many people. However, the remaining people matured quickly. From the beginning, they could not perform even 30% of their abilities. Now I can perform at 60-70%, and the progress is very obvious.
Yang Dan feels that with these more than 1,600 soldiers, even if it is a false surrender, I will make it real for you.
The worst case scenario is death, so what’s there to fear? It was worth it to have so many warriors buried with me.
More than a thousand people quickly crossed the suspension bridge and rushed to Jinming Gate.
"General." A soldier came over, his face full of flattery.
“Get out.” Yang Dan kicked him and entered first with a heavy sword, actually taking the lead.
Several shield bearers quickened their pace and rushed to his side, closely covering him.
Sheep Dan has a cruel temperament, but he is also very happy with rewards.
Sometimes I give it to women who are tired of playing with me, which is very generous.
When he went north to fight, he often took the lead and was brave and unparalleled.
So, being tyrannical and tyrannical, he still managed to win over quite a number of people.
These people are just like him, ruthless, violent, and cruel. They don't regard other people's lives as their own lives, nor do they regard their own lives as their own.
For the general, this is a sharp knife that can hurt others as well as oneself. Not everyone can control it.
The army quickly broke through the barbican and entered the street. Yang Dan was determined.
Some people pretend to surrender and kill them, starting from the city gate. He did not encounter a surprise attack, so half of the success was achieved, and the other half was left——
After arriving on the street, people were kneeling on both sides of the road, with equipment thrown at their feet, and they all shouted "May I drop".
Yang Dan looked up again and saw that there were no crossbowmen on the roofs on both sides of the street, and he immediately laughed.
"Where is Dahu?" Yang Dan picked up a person and asked.
"In...in Zhongyang Tower."
Yang Dan threw him to the ground and immediately dispatched arrangements.
The first step is to order the surrendering sergeants not to carry weapons, line up out of the city, and surrender to their own side.
The second step is to send someone to notify the follow-up troops to come quickly for reinforcements. The most important thing is to report to Duke Chen.
It stands to reason that this step is enough.
Next, he should set up a defensive line and defend the Jinming Gate to prevent anyone from taking it back.
Who is Dan Yangdan? I have all the credit for Po Tian, and you want me to wait? Go fuck yourself!
He divided the people into two, and 800 people guarded the Jinming Gate to pick up the follow-up troops. The remaining 800 people were led by him personally, and went straight to Zhongyang Tower - Zhengzhong City on the south side of Ye City. The tower of the Yangmen Gate.
Neat footsteps sounded on the street.
More than eight hundred people wearing armor and holding sharp blades rushed into the city like gods of murder.
Everyone was breathing heavily and their faces turned red - if they could capture and kill Shi Le, how much credit would that be? Can't imagine!
The city soon became lively.
******
Shi Le had just come down from Zhongyang Tower when he heard the noise in the city.
"What happened?" he asked.
When he said this, his face was calm. To be more precise, maybe numb.
He thought it was another army that left without saying goodbye and escaped at night.
Although he was angry, he was powerless to control it.
The people around him all have their own thoughts, let alone the soldiers and generals who are beyond their control.
He sighed secretly in his heart.
Maybe it’s really time to go.
If the human heart is not there, no matter how hard you struggle, it will be in vain. It's better to take advantage of the remaining prestige and take away all the people we can, find a place to breathe, and then slowly heal people's hearts.
As for how many people he can take away, to be honest, he has no idea.
Ten thousand people? Not likely. And with such a big movement, they were attacked as soon as they left the city, and they couldn't leave at all.
Thousands of people? If it is cavalry, there is still some possibility, but sadly, the cavalry of all tribes is the most unreliable now.
Each of them has a leader and a large tribe. They were originally bound to each other with kindness and marriage, and they were lured with benefits. But at this time, he could not give them any benefits. Instead, he wanted them to die and be buried with them. Not yet The person who left, to be honest, was worthy of him.
Just thinking about it silently, he felt a little depressed, and his eyes were filled with deep sadness.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, Shao Bing has entered from Jinming Gate. It seems like there are thousands of people." A messenger ran from the front, stumbled off his horse and said tremblingly.
There was still no expression on Shi Le's face. On the contrary, he looked somewhat relieved.
He found himself very calm, too calm.
Maybe, he had expected such an ending, right?
The troops who could fight were either captured and killed by the Jin army, or they were scattered in the wild. Only a few fled back to the city, and they were panic-stricken and had many weapons.
How much combat strength can the temporarily recruited men have? How loyal can you be?
It's just a matter of time.
It’s just that he kept looking away and couldn’t make up his mind. There is no need to hesitate now, Jin Jun made the decision for him.
“Your Majesty!” Left and Right hurried forward, looking anxious.
The killing sounds are getting closer and closer, and the noise is getting louder and louder.
Someone has already brought the horse, and someone else has opened the Zhongyang Gate.
If they wanted to abandon the city and leave, it would be too late to go north, and they might run into the Jin army entering the city.
They happen to be in Zhongyang Gate, and it is very convenient to leave the city from here.
The only question now is, should we save the crisis? Of course, even if he is saved, he will only live a few more days.
The problem of food is urgent, but the problem of people's hearts is more troublesome.
The thieves entered through the Jinming Gate. Someone must have opened the door, otherwise they would have killed them so quickly and there would have been no news at all?
Peach Leopard? Or are the servants of a wealthy family causing trouble? Or someone else?
In short, even if we successfully deal with it this time, there will be another time, and it won’t be too far away.
"Let's go!" Shi Le thought for a while, there seemed to be nothing in the city worth worrying about.
Wives and concubines? This is precisely the least important thing. Why should a man worry about not having a wife?
Besides, his eldest son is already in Pingyang. This son is much more important than his mother. Women will only affect my ambitions.
army? His heart is gone, and he probably can’t be taken away.
Department?
"Send someone to inform me..." Shi Le reported the names of many people in one breath, and assigned people to each of them to inform them.
Zhang Bin, Wang Yang, Tao Bao, Cheng Xia and others are all included. Santai also sent two people. If they can be informed, they will be informed. If they cannot be informed, forget it. I originally planned to secretly order the Santai garrison to kill the wives and concubines to prevent them from being humiliated, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it, because the sentinels might not be able to reach him. He was in the south of the city, and Santai was in the northwest, which was too far away.
Then, without looking behind him, he got on his horse, took the reins of the two empty horses, and said: "Let's go to Xiangguo."
Zhao north of Yecheng There are still a large number of soldiers who have divided their territories in the counties of , Julu, Changshan, and Zhongshan.
Went there to see if there was any chance to recruit them and wait for reinforcements from the court.
While thinking, Shi Le had already rushed out of Zhongyang Gate and disappeared into the night. He was very clean and simple.
The followers closely guarded him and ran away one after another.
(Uncle leader, wait a moment, I will update you tomorrow)
