When there were more people and horses, such a remote and remote place could not accommodate them. He could only think about attacking a few cities, and finally Zhao Rui set his sights on Tuluo City!
The city was not very far from them, and there were only eight thousand defenders in the city.
After losing 50,000 troops last time, the Tibetan side never sent a large army to conquer. Perhaps the news here was not sent out at all.
When Zhao Rui and his army appeared at the foot of Tuluo City in great force, the Tibetan soldiers here were frightened.
They had only heard that there were bandits in the mountains, but they didn't expect that there were so many people there. Moreover, they had sent an army of 50,000 to capture them last time, but they were able to put them down no matter what.
In their opinion, the reason why there has been no news about the 50,000-strong army must be that they were eating, drinking and having fun in the local area after wiping out the bandits.
But the situation before them was completely beyond their expectations.
Although there were 8,000 defenders in the city, these 8,000 were extremely loose. Less than 2,000 could actually reach the top of the city to face the enemy. The rest were almost all called over by the major slave owners to be used as private soldiers.
Either I'm looking after the home, or I'm helping with the moving and doing some chores.
Zhao Rui didn't expend much effort at all. He just used a few rounds of catapults and successfully entered the city.
"The merchant army is coming!"
The city suddenly became chaotic. Every house closed its doors and did not dare to show its head. Only some homeless slaves knelt on the street in fear, waiting for their fate to be judged.
Zhao Rui couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. Those who had families were basically slave owners or people with property. This group of people only accounted for less than 10% of the entire Tuluo City.
Most people were kneeling on the street, looking pitiful.
Zhao Rui dismounted directly, took off his cloak and put it on a little girl.
This girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. Her hands and feet were already tightly bound by heavy shackles, and she was wearing an extremely thin piece of clothing. She would probably freeze to death in two days.
The slaves kneeling on the ground were shocked. They had never seen a master put his cloak on a slave.
Before they could react, Zhao Rui abruptly tore off the chains on the girl's hands and feet.
"From now on, this is the territory of my Great Shang. Everything here must be done according to the rules of the Great Shang! You will no longer be slaves. I will remove your shackles and give you land, cattle and sheep.
, food and wealth!”
These words swept through the entire Tuluo City like a storm. The slave owners who were blocked in the Gaoqiang Courtyard changed their faces after hearing this. In fact, the most important property in their hands was slaves, and everything they owned was created by slaves.
came out.
If all these slaves were freed, they would have nothing.
When Zhao Rui issued the order, the soldiers behind him dispersed to every corner of the city, freed all the slaves, rushed into the homes of the slave owners, and moved out all their wealth.
In the city lord's mansion, Zhao Rui slowly walked forward with the King Yu Sword in hand.
The city lord and several chief administrators of Tuluo City were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. In front of them lay the corpses of more than a dozen soldiers.
