Guishan City was broken, and the Han soldiers outside the city cheered and swarmed in with shouts. Not all of the defenders in the city were Attic's buddies, many of them were forced by Attic's power.
They had no choice but to go to the city to help in the battle. Now, seeing the surging crowds of the Han army and losing the support of the city wall, they were already obsessed with fighting. They abandoned their swords and guns and fled in all directions. The entire siege battle ended in only half an hour.
, the Han army suffered very few casualties.
Originally, Guishan City also had an inner city, which was where the King of Dayuan and the nobles lived. Therefore, the inner city was much stronger than the outer city. The inner city of Guishan was entirely made of bluestone, and the guards were also from Dawan.
The most elite troops.
It's just that Atike has only been on the throne for only half a month, and has not yet been able to fully control the situation in Dawan, and the whereabouts of Mo Zhiti, who was ousted, are still unknown. Therefore, neither the Dawan nobles nor the elite inner city guards will
Work hard for him.
When the news came that the Han army had invaded Guishan City, some inner city guards quietly put down their weapons and fled. The act of escaping quickly spread like a plague among the inner city guards. By the time Xu Huang led his troops to the inner city,
When we were outside the city, there was no one on the inner city wall, and the inner city of Guishan was destroyed without any attack.
After entering the city, Xu Huang started a large-scale search overnight, focusing on the Dawan nobles and the soldiers who followed Attica in the rebellion. All the properties of the nobles were confiscated, part of which was used as military supplies, and the other part was distributed to the people in the city.
.[
In order to achieve a quick victory, the Han army's trebuchets carried out a devastating blow to Guishan City. The houses of the people in the city were smashed to pieces, and there were many casualties. The Han army's crusade against Dayuan was holding high the banner of counterinsurgency.
, naturally we cannot turn a blind eye to these innocent people, otherwise it will be morally untenable. Of course, Xu Huang will not be so generous as to use Han people's money to subsidize these Dawan people.
For the sheep, the Dawan nobles paid the bill.
Xu Huang carried out a brutal and thorough suppression of these Dawan nobles. This was what Liu Xin specifically told before leaving, that he wanted to kill them as a warning to other countries around him that were ready to take action and were not at ease with them.
.
The execution was carried out outside Guishan City. More than 20,000 Dawan soldiers were rounded up and forced to dig a huge pit. The Dawan nobles were marched to the edge of the pit in rows, without distinction.
Men, women, children, and even slaves were not spared. The Han army's sword and axe-hand mechanically waved the steel knife in his hand. The heads rolled down one by one, and the bodies of the heads were directly thrown into the pit. Under the hazy moonlight, in the pit
It was already bright red, the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood, and the scene was very terrifying.
The captured Dawan soldiers trembled with their legs, dumbfounded as they watched the nobles who were unattainable in their eyes being slaughtered like pigs and dogs, quietly waiting for the same fate to befall them, but unexpectedly...
They showed no courage to resist. Whether it was the attack and defense of Guishan City that just ended or this bloody massacre, they were frightened out of their wits.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "Listen, our Emperor of the Han Dynasty has a good moral character and will pardon your death penalty and punish you with two years of hard labor!"
The soldiers barely escaped death, but they couldn't react for a moment, and the whole place was filled with cries of cries.
"Could it be that you are not even willing to do hard labor and would rather die! Humph, then Pang Mou underestimated you! Well, Pang Mou will give you a chance!" It turned out that the person who spoke was Pound, and he was hit with a big knife with a wave of his hand.
He shouted sternly, "If any of you are not convinced, you can stand up. As long as you can defeat Pang Mou, Pang Mou will let you go and will never break his promise!"
Although two years of hard labor can temporarily save their lives, who knows whether the Han army will mistreat them or their fate will be even more miserable. However, many of these soldiers have fought against the Han army a few years ago and know full well that
The Han army was so powerful that they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look Pound in the face. Of course, there were some who were not afraid of death. A big man stood up and said in blunt Chinese: "I'm here to fight you!"
Now from the Western Regions to the Qin Dynasty, business is inseparable from goods from the Han Dynasty. There are many people who can speak Chinese, and it has almost become a fashion. It is not unusual for this person to speak Chinese. What is strange is that he actually wants to challenge with bare hands.
Pound, but the captured young soldiers were full of excitement and expectations. Because the man who stood up was recognized as the number one warrior in Dawan, named Tiesuhua, who could tear tigers and leopards alive. He had never been in Dawan.
Never met an opponent.
Originally, Pound had two weapon racks carried and placed nearby. There were swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even iron rods and wooden clubs for them to choose from. However, this person did not choose any weapons and wanted to fight Pound with nothing.
.
When Pang De saw this, he shouted "Well done!", threw the sword to the soldiers behind him, waved his fists to meet them. In terms of boxing and kicking skills, if Liu Xin is called the second best in the world, he will be the best.
People dare to claim to be the first. And Liu Xin will often give advice to the soldiers in the army. Like others, Pang De will also practice in his spare time, but there are few opportunities for actual combat. Today he wants to see what his strength is.
how.
Two men who looked like iron towers were fighting together. As soon as they fought, Pang De felt his arms go numb. He secretly praised the strength and was already very careful. Over there, Tie Suhua
He was also secretly surprised, he already felt that Pound was the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered in his life.
During the roundup today, Tiesuhua defeated three Han soldiers one after another. He was about to escape, but he was surrounded by a large group of people. Hundreds of crossbow arrows were aimed at him with cold light. He had no choice but to surrender, but in his heart
Really unwilling.
Now, since Pang De gave him this opportunity, he had to perform well. He couldn't help but yell, and jumped away again. Tiesuhua didn't learn any boxing skills, he only relied on brute force. He
He waved his two small stump-like arms like windmills and smashed them straight up and down towards Pound. As long as he hit him once, even your steel and iron bones would be unbearable.
However, after the first trial, Pang De had already made up his mind and did not fight him face to face. He just relied on his flexible body skills to move around and look for opportunities.
Gradually, more than twenty rounds passed. Although Tiesuhua's fists were dancing vigorously, they could not touch Pang De. He couldn't help but feel anxious, but the movements of his hands slowed down. Pang De saw that the time had come.
, punched Tie Suhua in the face with a feint, and while Tie Suhua was avoiding it, he had already ducked behind Tie Suhua, and slapped Tie Suhua hard on the back of the heart.
Tie Suhua screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground. Before Tie Suhua could get up from the ground, Pound had already stepped forward and punched Tie Suhua in the temple.
With a muffled sound, Tie Suhua flew out sideways and hit the ruins of the city wall heavily. He could only breathe out but not in.
Pang De dusted himself off, looked around at the frightened prisoners, and shouted sternly: "Who else will fight with Pang Mou!"
Tiesuhua also likes to show off his military prowess in the military. He often challenges more than a dozen or even dozens of his comrades with one person, but still returns home victorious. Today, he was beaten to death by a Han general with his bare hands. The remaining
How could any of these prisoners dare to stand up again? None of them even dared to show off.[
Pang De laughed loudly and said: "Since you don't dare to fight with Pang, then just go and do hard labor! Whoever dares to cheat will be your fate."
The direction of his finger was the large pit dug by the prisoners. At the bottom of the pit lay many corpses with their heads dismembered.
Seeing that no one dared to speak, Pang De raised his foot and kicked Tiesuhua's body flying up. It drew a beautiful arc and accurately fell into the pit. Then he announced: "Two pieces
First, fill up this big hole. Second, tear off the outer wall of Guishan City. If you don’t do it before dawn, you can just wait for the punishment!"
I don’t know who reacted first and rushed towards the pit like crazy. Without tools, they used their hands to shovel and shoulder to throw a handful of soil into the pit. Immediately, the other prisoners of war came to their senses and rushed up.
…
At dawn, Liu Xin led a large group of people to Guishan City. At this time, Guishan City had completely changed. The once majestic outer city was completely gone, replaced by ruins. Tens of thousands of Dawan prisoners of war were carrying thick
Thick wooden boards were slapped hard on the ground, flattening and compacting the ground. Even the large pit where almost the entire Dawan aristocracy was buried, no trace could be seen.
More than 200,000 Han troops walked in front of the prisoners of war in neat lines. The prisoners of war were not frightened, but no one dared to stop what they were doing. It was not far from dawn. If the task could not be completed, who knew what would happen.
They didn't even have the time to be afraid of such a punishment.
After learning about the battle, Liu Xin sighed: "I don't like killing, but not killing is not enough to deter Xiao Xiao. I only hope God can understand my difficulties."
Xu Huang cupped his hands and said: "According to His Majesty's decree, the outer city of Guishan City has been demolished, and the people were moved overnight to build houses fifty miles west of Guishan, but no city walls are allowed. The entire inner city has now been completely transformed into
I arrived at my Han military station and looked out from the top of the city. There were dozens of people inhabiting the city, and any army could hide in it. Your Majesty can rest assured that you can start your western expedition from here."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "People have very little power to survive when they are on the verge of death. I never thought that more than 20,000 prisoners of war could complete such a huge project in one night. It's time to let them rest."
Xu Huang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you mean to let them go?"
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "Such free labor should not be used in vain. What can we do if we let them go? However, don't embarrass them too much. Let them eat well and continue to work. From Uzbeli to Parthia
In the Han Concession, such a thoroughfare was entirely built by them. When it was completed, they were released."
