Chapter six hundred and seventieth drive the tiger to devour the wolf
Chapter 670: Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf (Part 1)
"Ji Wei, what do you think?" Zhang Yuewan asked.
Zhang Jiwei hesitated to speak, but since Zhang Yuewan asked, he couldn't shirk it, and said doubtfully: "The Lord treated us Huai Shui so favorably, obviously because of our Huai Shui's kindness back then. In this case, as long as we
If you are loyal to the Loop and don’t have any second thoughts, then there shouldn’t be any problems. Why are you so worried?”
Zhang Yuewan smiled bitterly: "Ji Wei, you don't know how powerful Mr. Luo and Mr. Chu are. Maybe the lord wants to let us go in Huaishui, but Mr. Luo, Mr. Chu, even the bloody commander, Dushuai and others in Dingzhou
The senior officials of Hetao who lost their family members in the war will not give up so easily. What will happen to the Song family in Yizhou? It will be the execution of the Nine Tribes. Don’t look at the Qinchuan Li family, which is quite prosperous now, but I am sure, Mr.
They will definitely not let things go like this, the Qinchuan Li family's disaster is still to come."
Zhang Cangzong also took up the conversation and said: "You have heard Brother Wang's last words before he left. If our Zhang family honestly gives up everything, then with Yue Wan here, we may not be able to make a comeback. Alas, let's talk about it.
, do you think your second uncle and the others are really willing to be subdued? Both father and son are talented people with great ambitions and lofty aspirations. If our Huai River really surrenders to the Hetao, in fact, except in name, there will be a difference.
The rest is completely the same as before. The army is still under our control, and the local officials are still our clansmen. If this continues, our Zhang family will face annihilation sooner or later."
Zhang Jiwei plucked up the courage and asked tentatively: "Father, do you mean that the second uncle and the others will have other ideas in the future?"
Zhang Yuewan's pupils shrank violently, and she looked at Zhang Cangzong intently.
"We all know that when Hetao pacified the south of the Great River, in addition to revenge, they also wanted to remove the nails from their own backs, so that they would not have any worries when they went on an expedition beyond the Great Wall. The strength of the foreign races outside the Great Wall was far greater than ours at that time
Above, there is another battle to destroy the country. Hetao will definitely mobilize all the elites. By then, the strength south of the river will be empty, and our Zhang family is the only one among the three major families whose strength has not been weakened. Cangwu and the others have always been so ambitious.
, I’m afraid something will really happen if someone provokes me."
"Do they still want to rebel?" Zhang Jiwei asked doubtfully: "But the rebellion will kill the nine tribes, and not even the people who follow them will be spared!"
Zhang Yuewan's eyes lit up. She was originally a talented and intelligent person. After being reminded by Zhang Jiwei, she suddenly realized it. She slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "So that's it! My Zhang family has no reason to destroy the family.
, and have been very kind to Hetao, so even Mr. Luo and others do not dare to treat us like the Song family in Yizhou. However, if we start a rebellion by then, it will be different. Hetao will have
The reason why the upright clan destroyed my Zhang family was because they were afraid that we would lack confidence, so they deliberately retained our power. The Li family in Qinchuan thought the same thing. Raising tigers is not to cause trouble, but to kill tigers. Mr. Luo and Mr. Chu
, he is truly a hero of his generation."
Zhang Yuewan thought for a moment: "I must go back immediately."
After all, Zhang Cangzong had eaten for so many years and his mind was quite flexible. He immediately understood what Zhang Yuewan meant: "Do you want to kill Cang Wu and Ji Shi?"
A murderous look appeared on Zhang Yuewan's face: "It's not just them, everyone in the Zhang family who harbors dissidents must die. If they don't die, sooner or later they will be instigated, and then the entire family will be dragged to be buried with them."
Zhang Cangzong couldn't bear to say: "Yue Wan, but those are our blood clan members, and this matter is just our guess. If we guess wrong, wouldn't they die in vain?"
Zhang Yuewan said decisively: "Uncle, this matter can't wait any longer. Huaishui officially surrendered on July 3rd. If I can't handle the matter before then, I'm afraid my second uncle and the others will be awarded official titles by my husband. I
Even the head of the Zhang family in Huaishui has no right to use family rules to deal with court officials. Uncle Liu, Yue Wan is not lost in hatred, but our Zhang family has indeed reached the most dangerous moment. In order to preserve something for the Zhang family
Due to blood, Yue Wan can only kill with pain, please forgive me, Uncle Six."
Zhang Cangzong thought for a while and felt that there was no way around it. He had been in the Hetao Army for a long time, and he was very aware of the anger of the military, government and civilians in the Hetao towards the coalition forces that marched north that day. God's will is Haotian's rebellion, and whoever touches it will exterminate the clan.
, there is no doubt about this. It seems that for the continuation of the family, this is all.
"July 3rd is six days away. Is it too late?" Zhang Cangzong asked.
"I'll try my best." Zhang Yuewan sighed. If she didn't participate in the expedition, Haotian and the military might not be able to explain it. Moreover, the Zhang family has greatly offended the Hetao, and without enough credit, the Hetao may not be able to forgive her in the future.
, therefore, she must personally participate in this expedition.
"It's getting late today, and it's inconvenient for warships to go to sea. I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Zhang Yuewan thought for a while and said, "Uncle, Ji Wei, you must not leak out what we discussed tonight, otherwise, it will definitely be fatal.
."
"Listen to me, uncle! Damn it, I want you to listen carefully, why are you twisting?" Standing on the city wall where the bones were exposed, Dugu shouted loudly, but the people standing below were only Dongwa people after all.
The strong men were not an army with a clean appearance at all. It was just that Uncle Dugu had very high requirements for soldiers. He simply cut the writhing Japanese in two with a knife, then cleared his throat and prepared his next words.
"Now, you despicable Japanese, led by our great Hetao army, will attack that damn Nara Castle. You listen to me, just follow our Hetao army, and I guarantee that you will be popular in the future.
of."
"What on earth is Dushuai doing? Is he performing on the street?" Xin curled his lips in disdain and said a little depressed.
Feng Jing had a smile on his face: "Dushuai, if he doesn't do something like this, he won't be Dugu Yuming."
However, Lan Gaoping whispered from the side: "Commander, didn't we say we would attack Edo first? Why did it become Nara?"
"Shut up, no one will say you are mute if you don't speak." Feng Jing glared at him, and Lan Gaoping quickly shrank his neck and stopped talking.
"Listen up, you damn Japanese. As long as you can kill five people, you can become free. If you kill ten people, your family will be free. If you kill fifteen people, you can get promoted and make a fortune. After taking Nara Castle, I will be free."
Shuai allows you to rob for three days. The wealth and beauties inside are all yours. No one can stop you from doing anything!"
Jiang Chenzhou shrugged his head: "The crime of rape is the same as murder. Commander-in-Chief is violating military discipline. You know, openly condoning the rape, torture and murder of your subordinates is a serious crime."
When Xue Sha heard this, he almost slapped him in the face: "You are a pig, are these Japanese people your subordinates? What does it mean to condone the killing of subordinates? They are simply a disorderly people. No matter how they burn, kill and rob, it is just the internal strife of their Japanese people."
.Besides, do you think they can really conquer Nara?"
As soon as Dugu said this, the faces of the Japanese warriors below suddenly turned red. It was obvious that they had understood what Dugu meant. They all grabbed the weapons that Hetao had just given them, and they wanted to attack them immediately.
.
"Okay, stop arguing." Dugu shouted several times, but the Japanese below were still roaring excitedly. Dugu couldn't help but get furious. He suddenly pulled out the Yanling knife, and the blade was as bright as autumn water under the sunlight.
, appeared even more shining. A bright light flashed through the knife, and more than a dozen heads immediately flew up, blood spurted out, and even the sky seemed to be dyed red. When the Japanese saw this, they were so frightened that they did not dare to make any sound.
"Bastard, I really thought I was scaring you!" Dugu smiled with satisfaction, put the knife back into the scabbard, and said viciously: "Did you see it? Nara is there. Just rush into the city and you will see the gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful things inside.
The women are all yours. As long as you fight hard, your families will be free, and you will be able to get a lot of land in the future. If you perform particularly well in this battle, I will give you many slaves. Be the first to capture the city.
Dear, I may consider assigning you a city and letting him be a lord. But remember, your achievements need to be counted afterwards, and the number of enemies killed shall be based on the right ear that was cut off! Also, remember
No one didn’t understand! As long as you fight hard, we won’t kill you, do you understand?”
There was a roar under the city wall. If freedom itself was what these Japanese people were looking forward to most just now, but if they could really become a lord, or a landowner with dozens of slaves, it would stimulate their nerves even more.
Now all of them have red eyes and want to rush to the battlefield immediately.
"We want it too, we want it too!" In the prisoner-of-war camp not far away, countless old, weak, women and children also made sounds like wolf howls, but their Chinese language was not very standard, and each of them sounded particularly weird.
.
Marshal Dugu didn't take it seriously, and shouted loudly: "I agree to your request, but you have no weapons and are weak, so I think your standards can be lowered by half. Don't worry, I agree with you personally.
I guarantee my character and will never break my promise. As long as you fight bravely, you will definitely get rich rewards."
As soon as these words came out, the Japanese roared even more cheerfully, but the performance of the Hetao was quite interesting. From the commander-in-chief to the lower-level soldiers, everyone who knew Uncle Dugu's temper rolled their eyes and looked dull. Dugu
If the uncle also has character, then the whole world will be good people. But no one said anything now. Looking at these excited Japanese people, even Fu Ruoshui couldn't help but sigh: "These Japanese people are really evil.
, it’s not just any ordinary crime.”
Now that the military morale has been aroused, Uncle Dugu randomly designated a few areas for the Japanese. Before he ordered the attack, the Japanese with red eyes had already rushed towards the gaps in several rivers with knives. The Japanese behind were
There were no weapons in their hands, but they didn't care about that much. They just grabbed something and rushed forward. Dugu looked at it carefully for a while. Most of the things they were holding were sticks and stones, but some of them were quite...
He was so talented that when passing by the Bone City, he actually carried a thigh bone of a dead Eastern Japanese corpse with some carrion hanging on it, and started to charge with his eyes red. Such a situation scared Dugu at that time.
Jump.
"My lord, if these Japanese can fight so hard when we fight, then our losses will definitely be considerable." Dugu murmured.
Xue Sha walked up to Dugu with a smile, patted his shoulder and said: "Dushuai, you are still the best. In this way, we will have added millions of death squads for nothing, not bad, haha."
Dugu also laughed: "That's right. I don't want to think about who I am. By the way, the mistress should be about to dock now."
Xue Sha shook his head and said: "Who knows? He Bugui said that if the wind goes smoothly, it will only take two days to reach the Yangzhou Road area, but the climate above the sea is unpredictable, and he cannot guarantee it. Hey, Lord
After all, my mother still can't let go of her revenge for killing my father. I think Zhang Cangwu and his son are doomed now."
Lou Jing came up and said doubtfully to Dugu: "Dushuai, are we going to attack Nara or Edo first? Isn't the initial plan to remove the relatively weak nail in Edo first?"
Dugu smiled and said: "That was indeed the plan at the beginning, but at that time we never thought that the Japanese were such idiots and would go to such extreme lengths with just a little encouragement. After all, Nara Castle is the capital of the Eastern Japanese. Now these many people are attacking with all their strength.
The Japanese will definitely mobilize all their forces to defend, and as a result, the defensive strength of Edo will be greatly reduced."
Xue Shayin sneered: "The most important thing is that with so many Japanese going crazy, even if the Japanese outside Nara and Edo City can wipe them all out, I'm afraid there won't be many left. By then, we will only have to deal with them.
Just go down to the Japanese in Nara and Edo Castle."
Lou Jing thought about it and felt that this was indeed true. Dugu was too lazy to pay attention to him and said with a smile: "Don't just chat, come and watch the show, the show is going on."
It’s not like the Hetao army has never seen the big world. Starting from the Battle of Hukou, the Hetao army said goodbye to petty fighting. Every time they went into battle, they almost always used more than 100,000 troops, and there were often hundreds of thousands of them.
A great war, but a melee with more than two million people like this has never been seen before.
The three rivers surrounding Nara and Edo are the Nuto River in the north, the Benyong River in the middle, and the Kumamoto River in the south. The three rivers meander and flow slowly, but the rivers are very deep and cannot be spanned at all, so the Loop's attack
The point was chosen at the gap between several rivers.
Originally, according to Hetao's plan, it was necessary to use cavalry to break through here and forcibly separate Dongbo's defense line. However, now that there are so many more death squads, Hetao only needs to delineate the specific attack direction, and there is no need to consider the rest.
.
The Japanese are still quite capable of fighting if they fight for their lives. Although they are just old, weak, women and children who have not been trained and have very little fighting power, under strong stimulation, they also burst out with extraordinary fighting power, eager to change themselves and their families.
They were almost beguiled by a kind of religious fanaticism, waving the weapons in their hands and rushing forward desperately.
The defending Japanese also knew that this was a time of life and death, and did not dare to be careless at all. They had also heard Dugu's angry roar just now, and naturally understood what their heads meant to the other party. They did not want to die, nor did they want to
They became each other's stepping stone, so with their eyes reddened, they fought together with the opponent who was a close comrade a few days ago.
The gaps are not very big, but there are too many people on both sides. Hundreds of thousands of people are crowding together, and there are countless people behind who are rushing forward desperately. The Japanese who are on the front line of the battle are almost face to face.
Being next to each other, they only have one chance to swing their sword. Whether they are noble daimyo or worthless slaves, they all have only one chance and only one life.
The Japanese defense line was not collapsing, but was being squeezed back bit by bit by the charging Japanese. Standing on the wall of Dingdong City, the Bone City, looking at the magnificent scene in front of them, Dugu and others couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Near the gap, no specific figures could be seen, only countless heads were seen shaking. Countless people were falling down, and before they got up, they had been trampled into meat by countless big feet. Three rivers
It turned red again, countless corpses were squeezed into the river, and the winding river even tended to stop flowing.
The attacking Japanese were fighting tooth and nail, and the defending Dong Japanese were also red-eyed. Dekang was convinced and felt the danger of the situation, and resolutely mobilized all the elite troops. Countless archers were shooting desperately from behind. There was no need to aim, they just needed to
It is enough to point the bow and arrow upwards. Since the crowd is too dense, it will definitely hit the target.
At this time, the Dongwa side was also completely in a desperate state of mind. Even if they died, they would not retreat. Everyone knew very well that even if they surrendered, they would not survive, and their heads would soon become
The opponent has the capital to take advantage. Moreover, now that they have retreated here, they have no way out.
However, what was unexpected was that the attacking Japanese had the upper hand. Although their progress was slow, they never stopped.
"Hey, I can't tell these Japanese are really capable of doing something." Dugu said with some surprise.
Xue Sha smiled and said: "That's because the Japanese side did not concentrate all their forces at the beginning, and the biggest advantage of the attack is that they can concentrate all their forces. The Japanese side will definitely suffer. Besides, all the Japanese who attacked
They went crazy under your spell, Commander Dugu, and their spirits became even more excited, and naturally they became more fearless and fearless of death."
