"Zhou Jilong, you lead 10,000 soldiers and immediately attack the Anyue Palace. Remember, your mission is to the princes and nobles of Anyue, and you are not asked to kill people and set fire." After taking down the west gate, Dugu said to the people beside him in a deep voice.
Zhou Jilong said.
"Brother, what if those people attack us?" Zhou Jilong hesitated and said.
"If they don't take the initiative to attack you, you are not allowed to kill any civilians. Of course, if they want to challenge our bottom line, then I don't mind if you go on a killing spree." Dugu said coldly.
"Yes!" Zhou Jilong heard this and left in a hurry.
"Long Zhishan, you will lead 50,000 soldiers, and together with me, you will surround the remaining three city walls from both sides. If something unexpected happens, I will give you the power to break off the battle."
"Yes!" Long Zhishan also replied with a gloomy smile.
Two thousand soldiers were left to garrison the west gate, and the remaining 48,000 soldiers, after Dugu's order, pounced viciously on every corner of Huaxi City. There were 30,000 Anyue soldiers stationed in Huaxi City, although the 3,000 soldiers at the west gate
The soldiers have been eliminated, but including the king's palace guards, there are still about 30,000 in number. Although the Hetao army has a strength advantage, they are unfamiliar with the place and time is tight. Dugu has no time to think about armor.
, so the only thing Dugu can do is to use his troops quickly to capture the four city gates and the palace in the shortest possible time. As long as these places are controlled, even if An Yue's soldiers come back for reinforcements, Dugu will have nothing to fear.
I originally thought that it would be quite difficult to attack the remaining three city gates. After all, if the defending soldiers gathered on the city wall and the commanding heights and blocked the path of the Hetao army with strong bows and crossbows, then the Hetao soldiers would have no armor cover and were unfamiliar with the terrain.
He will definitely suffer a big loss. Therefore, although Dugu ordered not to kill ordinary people, when he ordered Zhou Jilong and Long Zhishan, he had already told them his intention in a very vague way.
The enemy is not invincible. In the end, Dugu himself is only a general in Hetao. In addition to considering the casualties of his soldiers, he must also consider the progress of the battle. If he cannot attack Huaxi for a long time, then the Mitsukoshi soldiers who have recovered will fight to the death.
Returning reinforcements, no matter how elite the Hetao army is, will probably suffer a lot.
But Dugu's worries were wasted. Although the Anyue soldiers occupied a favorable location, at this critical moment, the Anyue soldiers' disorderly discipline and low quality were fully exposed. When the Hetao soldiers fought from the west gate in the west to the east gate
At the east gate, many of the five thousand soldiers responsible for the east city defense still had no idea what was going on. At least half of the soldiers were still in the barracks, running around like headless flies. Faced with this
Due to the situation, Dugu simply didn't bother to deal with these Anyue soldiers who did not pose any threat at all. Instead, he directly sent troops to attack various city gates. After controlling the four city walls, he then dealt with these disorganized soldiers.
Facing the Hetao soldiers who were not afraid of death but still charged forward desperately despite being unarmored, the Anyue soldiers were obviously frightened by their fighting will. There were not many soldiers on the city wall. Facing the advantage
With the impact of the troops, the city defense fell into the hands of the Hetao army almost in the blink of an eye. After Dugu took control of the four city gates, he finally heard a relatively bad news, that is, Zhou Jilong's attack did not succeed.
It's not going well. So far, not even an inch of land from the Anyue Palace has been taken.
"What is going on? There are only 30,000 soldiers in Huaxi City. The number of soldiers in the palace now does not exceed 10,000. Why has there been no progress for so long?" There were about 3,000 soldiers left near each city wall.
, Dugu led the remaining soldiers and hurried to the palace near the center of Huaxi City, and then said with a frown.
Zhou Jilong quickly replied: "Brother, the total strength of Huaxi City is indeed about 30,000 as Soul Eater said, but the strength of their palace guards is not weak. After occupying the favorable location, their strength is estimated to have reached the level of our remaining troops in Hetao.
.Our soldiers do not have armor. If we attack by force, the losses will probably be considerable. Besides."
"Besides, do you still want to keep the weapons and armor in the city as your own?" Dugu asked with a smile. He already knew just now that the military supply depot in Huaxi City is located in the palace. It is obvious that An Yue wanted to
It is necessary to protect the safety of the palace. If someone makes trouble in the city and blocks the palace, the huge military supplies in the palace can at least sustain it for a while. However, this will cause some trouble for the soldiers in Hetao.
"Exactly." Zhou Jilong said with a smile.
"The more you behave like this, the less nervous others will be." Dugu snorted coldly and said, "Come here, peel off all the armor of those dead Anyue soldiers, and let them also make the more than 10,000 captured soldiers
Take off your armor. Damn it, An Yue Monkey's armor is poorly made, but it's better than nothing."
"Yes!" Long Zhishan responded quickly, and then said in a loud voice to the soldiers beside him: "Have you heard the commander's order? Let those Anyue monkeys who are still alive take off their armor and send it to my general immediately.
Come here. As for those dead monkeys, let those Anyue monkeys take them off. Damn it, I only like taking off women’s clothes, and I have no interest in dead people.”
Dugu rolled his eyes and said fiercely to Long Zhishan: "You are now a senior general in Hetao. Do you understand? You must be qualified and pay attention to the image of our military in Hetao. How much have I told you?
This time, I want to speak in a straight line, not to make you dirty! Forget it, get out of here. Let the soldiers below take over the security of the city, and don't let anyone take advantage of it. We in Loop are a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and we will never
It is aimed at ordinary people, but it is difficult to say whether these Anyue monkeys will take advantage of others to take advantage of troubled waters. Otherwise, others will take the advantage, but I will take the blame."
Zhou Jilong said with some confusion: "Brother, according to the rules of our road, since you have come, you cannot return empty-handed. Otherwise, I will ask the brothers below to disguise themselves as Anyue monkeys and loot the entire Huaxi.
."
"Asshole! How many times have I told you that you are now a soldier and a general in the Hetao. You represent the image of our Hetao. You have been on the road all day long. Do you believe it or not that I will send you there?
Go up to the underworld?" Dugu kicked him over: "We in Hetao are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and our country is a country of etiquette. We are all people of quality and morality. How can we take advantage of others? Let alone you.
This is a frame-up and a lawless act! What did I tell you before? Although Jinhua Mitsukoshi has betrayed the empire, at least Anyue has not massacred our civilians. What reason do we have to attack other people's civilians?
?Our Hetao army is a well-educated rebel army who can distinguish right from wrong and understand common sense. I am also a cultured and reasonable person. Aren't you deliberately ruining the reputation of me and the Hetao army?"
After a pause, Dugu then said: "Also, do you have a big head just for eating and drinking? Don't you even look at how dilapidated Huaxi City is, compared to our Yizhou land on Hetao Sanlu
It's worse than that. The people here are so poor. How can there be any money to be made? Don't you know how to think carefully before you say something or do anything? Ransacking these people doesn't bring much benefit, but the reputation is too bad. Go back.
After that, my lord and mistress will definitely not be able to spare you. Let me think about it. Look at those dignitaries, wealthy merchants and landlords. Most of these people are notorious for their wealth and ruthlessness. If you want to rob, you should rob these people. This way you can make money.
With enough benefits, you can also win a good reputation for robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Besides, the number of these people is not very large, and they will not cause an uproar in the whole city."
"Best brother!" Zhou Jilong and Long Zhishan said in admiration at the same time. Dugu was indeed the boss for nothing. At least in this sense, he was many times better than the two of them.
"But one thing I have to remind you first is that rape, robbery and murder are absolutely not allowed to happen. This is the bottom line of our Hetao army. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!" Dugu said coldly.
Both Zhou Jilong and Zhou Jilong laughed: "Brother, don't worry, there is a way to be a thief. We are robbers. After robbing the fat sheep, we only make money and will not destroy the votes. And didn't the mistress say that as long as it is not ruined?
We can only target the military and high-level officials of the country who have committed crimes against us, and should not target ordinary people. Although Jinhua Mitsukoshi has gone to war with our Celestial Empire, it is not without consequences.
What harm is it? Anyway, the unlucky ones are the wars in the Southern Military Region, which have nothing to do with our Hetao."
Dugu rolled his eyes at the two of them and said: "It doesn't matter? The officers and soldiers of the Southern Military Region are also our citizens. It should be understood that although the war is a matter for both sides, we should try to control it between the military and the top of the country. Why did we then
We need to teach the Jinhua prisoners of war a lesson, because after the Jinhua soldiers broke through the Xijiang defense line, they burned, killed and looted frantically. But the Anyue soldiers did not, although this was because they had not yet broken through the Xijiang defense line.
, but since others didn’t do the first grade of junior high school, there is no reason for us to do the fifteenth grade.”
Zhou Jilong rubbed his head and said, "Then aren't we in a situation where we are passively beaten?"
"This is the principle of striking after the strike. We are the Chinese dynasty. Do you know that sometimes we have to pay a price to maintain the dignity and prestige of our dynasty for thousands of years, and we soldiers are the ones who pay the price. Besides, we can't
Let others hold the handle." Dugu sighed and said. Although he was a lot of gangster, even a gangster had his own morals that he needed to abide by.
