Zheng Jun hung the gunpowder bag on the city gate. The first shot did not blow up the city gate, so he went back and fired it a second time.
He carried a large bag and used it all, which made him a little confused and his head was buzzing.
The sound of the explosion also frightened many war horses, but after all, they were still well-trained, and all the war horses were calmed down without subsequent bombing.
"Okay!" Seeing that the city gate was broken down so easily, Sun Yi shouted, "You men of Lizhou Camp, charge with me, the military glory is right in front of you!"
Although it was a lost achievement, it was still a military achievement, and it was almost free of charge.
More than 10,000 cavalry entered the city, and the defenders of less than 5,000 were already demoralized. How could they be an opponent?
"General..." Five hundred steps outside the city, the army slowly marched here. When they saw the city gate collapsed, the military commander was shocked.
His hand holding the pen and paper was trembling, and he couldn't stop it.
Me, how do I write?
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the general who conquered the north and defeated the rebels was outside Shuangzhou City and used the Heavenly Thunder Method to break open the city gate?
Can I write like this? Of course not, then wouldn’t I be fooling everyone in the world?
If you don’t write it like this, how can I record it?
It really just explodes and it opens, just like the legendary thunder method!
"General?"
Fang Jue looked at the crowd: "Why are you still standing there? Go get military glory."
After that, he waved his hand: "The whole army attacks!"
"Take the order!" The infantry swarmed forward and rushed towards the city gate.
Except for the temporarily formed personal guard battalion, which was still on the spot to protect Fang Jue, everyone else rushed over in one fell swoop.
The situation in Shuangzhou is over.
art of war?
Fang Jue said what was that?
Sorry, I don't read military books.
"Master, let's not get close. Let's wait until the generals have completely controlled the city gate before going."
Among the personal guards, there were representatives from the Hanging Sword Division and the Firearms Battalion. Of course, the most important thing was that Noriichi personally led the troops.
Originally, Noiichi was unwilling to be an official, but protecting Fang Jue was his duty, so he naturally had to lead the guard camp.
"It's easy to dodge an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. You really should wait."
Fang Jue didn't want to rush to grab any credit. The biggest credit had already been obtained, so he might as well leave it to the people below to drink some soup.
Although the city gate is broken, the enemy will definitely resist and will not be able to be wiped out in a short time.
It would take a long time to kill five thousand pigs, let alone five thousand people.
"kill!"
There was a lot of momentum in the city. It lasted for less than an hour and then suddenly stopped.
A war horse ran out of the city. Zheng Jun dismounted and reported:
"General, Shuangzhou has been captured, and all the more than 4,000 defenders at the Sifang City Gate have been crowned!"
"No one surrenders?" Dianyi thinks it's impossible. Everything will be defeated. Are the people of Beiliang really not afraid of death?
Zheng Jun was surprised: "Surrender?"
"The general didn't say he wanted to keep prisoners..."
Good guy!
Dianyi's mouth twitched: "Master, are all these soldiers so cruel?"
Fang Jue was also frightened.
Four to five thousand people, beheaded all at once?
My mother, everyone is a ruthless person.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand.
There are more than 20,000 Xia troops entering the city, but the Shuangzhou garrison is less than 5,000. Four people are divided into one. How can it be enough?
For soldiers, the most iconic symbol of military merit is the enemy's head!
On the battlefield, as long as the general did not ask for many prisoners, the soldiers would deliberately pretend not to know and kill them ruthlessly.
Because this is their way to advance, the more enemies they kill, the more military merit they accumulate, and they can be promoted.
"I was careless..." Fang Jue shook his head helplessly, not blaming anything.
He can't have too high demands on these soldiers. This is their way of survival. In this era and under military law, there is no reason to say it.
"What about the main generals? Shouldn't they all be killed too?" Fang Jue had no choice but to accept this reality, but still asked.
Zheng Jun hurriedly said: "That's not possible. There are five generals, generals, lieutenants and captains who are still alive...these officials are worth more than their heads alive!"
Fang Jue: "..."
The feelings are not retained intentionally, but also for military merit.
For military attachés with higher positions in the army, their prisoners are worth more than their corpses, and their military merits will also be taken into consideration.
The reason is very simple. You can use it to bargain with Beiliang, or return to the capital to offer prisoners, so that the emperor can show off his martial arts in front of the people and officials.
"There are all the defenders in the city, but only five are alive..." Dianyi suddenly felt that these soldiers were more ruthless than any martial arts master.
When you kill someone, you really don't blink an eye.
"General..." Zheng Jun scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"How many people have you beheaded this time?" Fang Jue asked.
Zheng Jun coughed and said, "The general was too slow and only managed to grab six heads."
"Where's the head?" Noriichi looked around, "You don't have it with you?"
Fang Jue stared at Dianyi in horror.
Does God still have it with him?
Who do you want to scare to death?
"Of course it was handed over to the camp." Zheng Jun replied, that thing was just used to record military achievements, how could he carry it with him.
If you scare the general again, wouldn't it be in vain?
"Now that it's under control, let's go into the city." Fang Jue ordered.
In less than half a moment, a layer of thick ice was crossed, and the whole guard camp entered the city.
As soon as they entered the city, the generals of the three battalions gathered together, and they were all excited.
"Hiss..." Although he had experienced battlefields, he had never been so cruel the previous times. Fang Jue saw a real river of blood, and a layer of blood flowed at the city gate.
The hot blood mixed with the ice and snow, melting some of the ice, making the blood look less thick, but still full of blood smell.
What's more important is that there are broken limbs and broken bodies all over the ground. Someone is cleaning them up, but it's just the beginning, and some brains and internal organs can even be seen.
Suppressing the feeling of nausea, Fang Jue coughed and said, "Whoever remembered the military merits, show me."
Having said that, the military attache from the Military Justice Department came forward and saw that A was a centurion.
"General, the military merits are still being registered. The results will be available within half an hour."
"Then wait, let's repair it first." Fang Jue didn't plan to leave the city immediately and rush to Hanzhou, because this time he was reminded that some rules had to be explained.
While waiting, Fangjue summoned the three generals.
"Search everywhere in the city to see if there is any leftover food."
"Except for the rations for the defenders, there is not much food left. Most of the people in Shuangzhou have moved away. Luoyang has done a good job in clearing the country." Lin Bei reported.
"Relocated the people?" Fang Jue nodded, "That's pretty much it."
"General, we got the rations from the defenders. They didn't expect that we attacked the city so quickly and didn't have time to burn it down." Wei Ran said with a smile.
It was too fast. Even they felt that this attack was too fast and too outrageous.
The city was destroyed with less than two sticks of incense. Except for those who surrendered voluntarily, there is no record of the city being destroyed so quickly in history!
I'm still in a daze to this day.
The ones who were even more confused were those military attachés from Shuangzhou Camp who were escorted over.
"General, we have captured the general, deputy general and three generals at the level of thousands of officers." Sun Yi said proudly.
Although the Yulin Army was in the lead, Sun Yi's Lizhou Camp captured the most important prisoners.
Naturally, this contribution must be recorded.
"Are you Fang Jue?" Before Fang Jue could ask, several military attachés from Shuangzhou were staring at him.
"Who are you?" Fang Jue looked at the person who spoke.
"General of Shuangzhou, Zhao Can!"
Fang Jue nodded: "General Zhao, from your expression, you seem a little unconvinced?"
"Of course I don't accept it!" Zhao Can gritted his teeth and stared at Fang Jue, "You use Taoism, which is just a warlock's method. Do you dare to attack the city head-on!?"
Hearing this, Fang Jue couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Why should I attack the city head-on? Have you ever read the Art of War?"
"I..." Zhao Can's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard.
What did he say?
He actually said that I have never read the Art of War?
This is clearly what I want to say!
From the beginning to now, Zhao Can felt that every move Fang Jue made was completely outside the art of war and had no regard for martial ethics!
How can you not play according to the routine? Playing such an operation that no one can understand is too much!
"Are you really a god from heaven? Can you summon thunder?" Zhao Can asked with a frown.
Fang Jue rolled his eyes: "This is called science... Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you. Take him away and send someone to make a cage to send him back to Beijing."
"Okay!" Zhao Can wanted to say something else, but Sun Yi ordered someone to cover his mouth and drag him away.
At this time, Fang Jue once again looked at the military attache who recorded military achievements.
"General, we have the results. Here is the military merit list from all over."
After saying that, he handed over the bamboo slips one by one.
There were very few educated people in the army, and military achievements were recorded on bamboo slips. Whoever beheaded the most people would have the word "正" engraved on their name.
"Let me take a look." Fang Jue took all the military merit tables and examined them carefully.
I sketched it on the side with a pen and paper, and it took me a while.
When the results came out, Fang Jue's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"General?" Everyone looked different when they saw him.
Fang Jue looked at the paper and saw that the calculation he had made had not yet been completed, but the total number of beheadings today had exceeded six thousand!
He looked at the commander of the third battalion coldly: "Oh, what I was worried about is still here."
