By the time everyone in Beihai finally had a clear look and made up their mind to leave the city to meet the reinforcements, it was already completely dawn.
Through the mouths of the city guards, everything that happened at night spread throughout the city in a short period of time. When they heard that the nightmare Guan Hai Corps had been wiped out, the heavy pressure on the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city instantly dissipated, and people cried with joy.
, running around telling each other.
Whether it was the Yellow Turbans or the Bandits, they were all similar to them in the past, the same diligent, hardworking, and hospitable people.
However, after becoming thieves, these people have undergone earth-shaking changes. They have become lazy, cruel and indifferent to everything.
Some people have seen the cruelty of the bandits with their own eyes, and more people have heard about it from Zhu Xulai's defeated soldiers. Zhu Xu City has become a ghost in the world. Anyone with a little wealth is the target of the bandits, and their families have been killed.
Men were killed everywhere, women were insulted, and even children of several years old were not spared.
The poor people can't escape. There is nothing to rob in their homes. Women work in the fields all year round, so most of them cannot attract the covetousness of thieves. But they have to leave their crumbling thatched huts and follow a group of strangers to kill.
Those who have left their homeland embark on a road of no return with blood flowing.
Whether this road has an end or what is at the end, the people of Duchang cannot know everything, but what they know is enough to make them feel uneasy and have nightmares.
Died by the swords of officers and soldiers; died in the fire of accomplices; died of hunger; died of severe cold; died on the road of robbery; or there are some other weird ways of death that are unknown; except for the moment of robbery.
Besides, this road is full of despair and sorrow.
From a strange perspective, whether you rebel or not, the days actually don't change much.
Those who do not rebel will at least not fight with their neighbors or die in a foreign country. They will most likely feel happy during the harvest season in autumn, and there may be other surprises.
No matter how hard the days are, there is always hope, right?
Therefore, the residents in the city have a deep-rooted fear of the thieves outside the city. The Chinese people are so kind. Unless they are squeezed to the extreme, they will not go against the government and the court.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Yu made the comment: The government that can squeeze the Chinese people into rebellion, the group of people in it are definitely very, very strange, or in other words, they are not human at all!
In short, the destruction of the bandits made the people in the city ecstatic. Soon, the joy and luck turned into gratitude. Cheers rang out one after another, and finally gathered together, and a resounding name resounded throughout the city.
Echoing endlessly in the wilderness outside the city.
"Champion Hou!"
"The champion who saved the country and the people!"
"With champion Hou Mu guarding Qingzhou, our people in Qingzhou are finally saved!"
"Our champion of Qingzhou!"
The people were so excited and cheering that the commotion that broke out in the city was completely different from the fierce battle last night. Shocked by this momentum, the celebrities and generals on the city woke up in confusion and fully realized that last night
what happened.
"...Wenju, Wenju!" Mi Heng shouted for a long time before drawing Kong Rong's attention to him, "Why are you still standing there? Open the city gate! Here are Pengju's subordinates, save them.
When we arrive at Duchang City, wouldn't it be disrespectful if you don't go to greet us?"
"Oh..." Under the cheers in the city and Mi Heng's shouts, Kong Rong's eyes finally recovered. He nodded vigorously and ordered loudly: "Yes, open the city gate, and all of you will go with Rong to see Mount Tai."
All heroes."
"Yes, I will go with Kong Shijun to meet all the heroes."
"More than a thousand soldiers and horses destroyed more than 50,000 fierce bandits. Isn't it true that every one of Taishan's troops is a fierce general who can defeat hundreds of people?"
"What's so strange about that? A raging army will lead to a den of raging generals, and vice versa! The Taishan soldiers were originally a gathering of strong armies from all over the country. They have already had a courageous spirit, and now they have such a commander who can defeat thousands of enemies...
"The speaker gave a thumbs up, "Isn't that a hundred times more courageous? There is a saying in the art of war: When a husband fights, courage is required!"
"So that's it. Brother Zeng is indeed very wise, but my little brother is not as good as him."
"From this point of view, the champion marquis can defeat Qingzhou in a matter of seconds. One thousand can defeat fifty thousand. By analogy, four thousand soldiers of Zhang Rao's two hundred thousand army are enough! I heard that under the command of Wang Junhou...
The speaker compared his surroundings and said: "There are eight thousand such warriors! How can you not easily capture Zhang Rao?"
"Why eight thousand? Didn't you see the general's flag? The leader of this army is named Taishi... Wang Junhou's three generals, Iron Wall Yu Wenze, Divine Bow Huang Hansheng, Long Drive Xu Gongming, are all invincible.
The fierce generals are not here, which means they are already more than a match behind the monarch! If the monarch had come in person, he would have only had three to five hundred personal guards, which would be enough to defeat Guan Hai."
"Maybe three to five hundred are not needed. I have never heard of the powerful performance of the monarch on the bank of the river that day. One man shot and fired, 20,000 Xiliang troops were shocked, and then he shouted and drove back thousands of troops! Listen!
Said, the scene at that time was so spectacular, it was just like... Hey, I am not very knowledgeable, so I am at a loss for words, and I don’t know how to describe it. In short, if one person retreats ten thousand armies, who can match this power?"
These celebrities around Kong Rong are different from the traditional ones. Their family backgrounds may not be very distinguished. They are just celebrities based on Kong Rong's name. However, these people like to talk and do not understand practical habits.
Far above the celebrities from aristocratic families.
When Kong Rong came back from Jujube, he thought he understood the art of war, which was what these people were touting. Now, in order to save face, they started to tout Wang Yu again.
They didn't understand Wang Yu's strategies in those battles, and they didn't want to understand them. It was too complicated. All they had to do was describe the most shocking results in the most straightforward way.
Therefore, in the Battle of Mengjin, the 20,000 horses on the north bank of the river became the background. Wang Yu stood in front of the background and defeated the 20,000 Xiliang cavalry alone; in the Battle of Hulao Pass, the white horse righteous followers, who were the main force, also became
They became spectators who could only cheer. It was not Niu Fu who opened the gate of Hulao Pass, but...
"Do you know how majestic Hulao Pass is? It is one of the most majestic passes in the world. Apart from Luoyang and Hangu, it is almost the best in the world! This Duchang City looks majestic, right? Compared with Hulao Pass
, he’s just a bastard! What’s the result?”
"One shot! Just one shot!"
"That shot was like a thunder hammer in the hand of Thunder Lord, with the sound of wind and thunder, it just hit the wall of Hulao Pass! There was a loud bang and the ground shook! The gate of Hulao Pass opened and the wall collapsed.
One piece! Think about it, how powerful it is!"
At first, it was just the famous people chatting among themselves. When they came down from the city, the soldiers guarding them gathered around them. They walked down the city wall, and when they got near the city gate, the people also surrounded them.
The news spread like wildfire, becoming more and more outrageous. People's wishful thinking was to exaggerate the power of the protector in their minds. Anyway, kings and princes have a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and they would not do anything to the people. Naturally, the stronger the better.
Besides, everyone has seen the tens of thousands of bandits outside, and the great victory today is not fake. A general can lead more than a thousand cavalry to defeat 50,000 ruthless bandits. Needless to say, the ability of the commander?
Wang Yu's deeds were magnified infinitely and publicized from all angles.
"The champion saved hundreds of thousands of people from Luoyang, and countless people survived..."
"In Hedong, the prince took the opportunity to punish the unscrupulous family and persuaded the thieves to do good, which made Shiwan Baibo put down the butcher's knife and pick up the hoe again..."
"The prince and the Luoyang army fought fiercely in Yang, and one hundred thousand Luoyang people spontaneously rushed to help the battle. The fighting would inevitably affect the people. The prince stepped forward, broke into the enemy's center, cut off the flag with an arrow, and captured Xu Gongqing alive!"
Gradually, even important assistants like Huang Zhong became a background.
It wasn't until we approached the company camp, or to be precise, the place where the company camp once existed, that the noise gradually subsided.
No matter how epic the legendary war is and how heroic the heroes are, war is still war. Even if it is a war that has ended, the scenes on the battlefield and the smell of blood lingering in the air are enough to change the color of brave men and ordinary people.
Trembling.
There are traces of burning everywhere. Fire is an indispensable thing for human beings. It can bring warmth and light, but in the military, fire is one of the best weapons to create panic and kill the enemy.
As densely covered as the traces of fire are all kinds of corpses on the battlefield. These corpses are in various postures and distributed in different places. Experienced veterans can tell their identity from their shapes.
cause of death.
Some people were shot to death by crossbows; some died under swords; more people were burned to death; however, the most common ones were those who died in extremely miserable conditions and whose bodies were no longer human. They were in chaos.
, a victim of self-trampling.
The cheers and noises gradually subsided until they ceased to exist.
The voices of the soldiers and civilians in the city weakened, and other sounds on the battlefield became louder.
The most common ones were orders. The reason why the Taishan Army never came close to the city wall after winning was because they were very busy.
The hunt for the remaining enemies has long ended. It is unimaginable to command the cavalry to chase down the enemy in the mountains, forests and hilly areas in the dark night. If someone really does this, it will only cause unimaginable casualties to one's own side.
The Taishan Army just drove the enemies out of the camp, not giving them a chance to regroup, and then let them go. In this early winter when the vegetation was withering, those who lost their supplies and companions and could run hundreds of miles safely were all
There is no need to embarrass the lucky ones who are one in a hundred.
For the Taishan Army, the most important thing is to put out the fire and collect the prisoners.
When attacking the camp, the attackers were afraid that the fire would not be big enough, but after the victory, they had to find a way to preserve supplies. Guan Hai's army across the Beihai was still very rich, with gold and silver, and even more food.
In troubled times, nothing is more important than food. One more point of food can help one more person survive.
After gathering a certain number of prisoners, the Taishan Army kept putting out the fire. When the soldiers and civilians in the city followed Kong Rong out of the city, the fire was almost completely extinguished.
The soldiers and civilians of Duchang were frightened by the tragic battlefield, but Kong Rong did not stop. He did not know how to fight, but his Qi cultivation skills were still very good. This small scene could not scare him. He took a few bold
The staff and generals walked over to where the Taishan Army's battle flag was.
Seeing the Prime Minister's calm demeanor, the people again let out a soft sigh of admiration.
The Taishan Army had noticed the movement in the city a long time ago. Seeing Kong Rong's extraordinary appearance and graceful bearing, they did not hesitate to let Kong Rong pass.
To be honest, after witnessing last night's battle, they didn't think anyone could plot against their own general. General Taishi would just enjoy himself secretly if he didn't attack others, so the one being attacked could enjoy himself secretly.
It would be nice if someone went over to stir up the trouble, lest General Taishi really start a fight with others and fight among his own people, which is not a good idea... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend it.
