Chapter 671 Die Hard
When the general team led by Wang Xue saw the people retreat, they immediately raised their swords and guns. At the beginning, they still scared them, but when they saw that they could not stop the retreat of the countless people, they began to hit the people with the back of the sword.
Due to the shock of these people, the people finally stopped slowly, but they still looked at the soldiers with fear, and their pitiful looks made these soldiers feel a little soft-hearted.
However, the military orders were like mountains. No matter how soft-hearted they were, they could not disobey the military orders, so they could only shout and let these people turn back and continue to attack the city.
Faced with countless swords and guns, these tens of thousands of people finally showed despair on their faces. They suddenly turned around and slowly approached the city wall again.
This time, the young and brave men who guarded the city in the city finally began to shoot arrows in a very good manner under the forced order of Zheng Huaixing.
However, although the arrows shot this time were much denser, their accuracy was still far behind.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Huaixing could only shake his head helplessly, and suddenly realized in his heart. Could it be that he really couldn't defend Dongshan City this time?
However, as the people below got closer and closer, Yang Heng's army began to approach slowly, and the people on the city finally became a little nervous.
If the army on the opposite side attacked the city, they would be better off, so they finally began to defend the city seriously.
Once they were serious, the people below were in trouble. Countless bows and arrows and rolling wooden thunderstones were thrown from the city, and the people close to the city wall immediately suffered heavy casualties.
The people under the city gradually became a little annoyed. They were all residents of Dongshan County, but you didn’t even think about the local love that killed us, so we could only die and live.
So the old, weak, and weak women and children below began to fight their lives, constantly erecting the ladders on the city wall, and then, whether it was an old man, a young child, or a newly married daughter-in-law, all rushed towards the city.
So, an extremely tragic war began.
The powerful people on the city continued to poke the steel knives or spears in their hands down, and each time they made a scream came.
The people below were not showing weakness. Although one fell down, the other one came up with a ferocious substitute and swung all the weapons they could use in their hands.
In this way, under the strong oppression of two political groups, an extremely tragic war broke out in Dongshan City, where they had been growing up for countless years.
In this way, the siege continued from the morning until the afternoon, and the people on the city finally couldn't hold on.
After all, there are still few people in the county town. In addition, the people below rushed up regardless of their lives, and the people above were a little bit numb. In the end, their hands and feet became weak and they could not fight at all.
Zheng Huaixing, who was on the top of the city, sighed when he saw this situation. He knew that Dongshan County would fall today.
In this situation, Zheng Huaixing either died in battle on the top of the city, or went back to the county government to sort out and then committed suicide.
But he didn't choose either, but sat in the city tower, waiting for the soldiers who attacked the city.
Wang Hua, who was behind, saw that the resistance of the soldiers on the city was getting weaker and weaker, and he knew that it was time to launch the last attack.
So he immediately ordered the generals to rectify their troops and immediately joined the siege.
With the addition of these new forces, the soldiers on the city could not stop it, so they began to flock down the city and run into the city.
After a while, the city was completely occupied by Yang Hengde's army. Then, the gate of Dongshan County was also opened, and more troops entered Dongshan County along the gate.
At this time, Yang Heng, who received the report in the big tent, came to the front with his personal soldiers.
The first thing that caught Yang Heng's eyes was the countless corpses under the wall. These corpses had various painful expressions, revealing the tragic battle to Yang Heng.
Yang Heng narrowed his eyes, but he opened it quickly, turned his head and said to Wang Hua, "You have made great contributions to conquering this city. After returning to Beijing, you will be rewarded with a lot of rewards."
Wang Hua shook his head in pain, "Your Majesty does not seek rewards for the title of marquis for his ministers, but only asks Your Majesty to bury these people as soon as possible and let them be buried as soon as possible."
Yang Heng naturally would not refuse this small request. He nodded quickly and said, "I will leave this matter to you, and the soldiers in our camp will be dispatched by you."
After saying this, Yang Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
It turned out that just as Yang Heng and Wang Hua were looking at each other, his magic eyes suddenly saw a black air above Wang Hua's head.
And between the sky, there were still black air constantly gathering here, and the black air was constantly rolling, as if there were unjust souls howling inside.
This black gas is not the opposite, it is the evil debt caused by Wang Hua driving the people to attack the city.
Yang Heng hurriedly glanced at the top of his head and found that although there was a trace of black air gathering above his head, it was quickly dispersed by his magic power.
At this point, Yang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
If there was so much black air gathering on my head like Wang Hua, I'm afraid I would never have thought of becoming an immortal in my life.
It seems that my decision yesterday was right. I will leave these debt-taking things to the people under my command, and I just need to enjoy the results.
After a long time, Liu Yue, who had invaded the city, sent a siege to come and give it back.
"The city has been cleared, General Liu invites His Majesty to enter the city."
Yang Heng nodded with satisfaction, and then began to slowly enter Dongshan City with his personal soldiers and countless follow-up soldiers.
After entering the city, Yang Heng was introduced to the county government by all generals.
Yang Heng sat firmly on the seat of the county master, looked at the generals below, smiling, and nodded with satisfaction.
This time, he was indeed a bit unethical to drive the people to attack the city, but the generals under his command did not lose their morale, which made him very satisfied.
At this time, Liu Yue, the general who first attacked the city, first came out to report to Yang Heng:
"Your Majesty, when he attacked the city, he captured Zheng Huaixing, the county magistrate of Dongshan County, and did not know how to deal with it."
Yang Heng's face became gloomy when he heard this name. It was this person who made his army stop in Dongshan City for a few days and lost thousands of people. What's even more fatal is that this time he drove the people to attack the city, Yang Heng's reputation in the south was greatly reduced.
"Bring him up to me."
With Yang Heng's orders, there was a sound of chains outside, and soon a middle-aged scholar outside the lobby was brought to Yang Heng.
Yang Heng looked at the straight middle-aged man standing below, his face even more ugly.
"Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
The middle-aged man looked up at Yang Heng, with a disdainful smile on his lips.
"A good horse is not worthy of the two saddles, and a loyal minister will not worship the two masters."
"Haha, a fool who blocks the heavenly army and does not know the time of heaven dares to speak so much in front of me."
After saying this, Yang Heng glanced at Xue Feng standing below.
When Xue Feng saw Yang Heng's wink, he immediately understood what he was going to do, so he stepped forward and pulled out his sword and cut it directly towards Zheng Huaixing's knee.
Then there was a scream, and Zheng Huaixing couldn't help but fall to the ground.
The two soldiers behind him hurried forward, one of them grabbed one of his arms and pulled him up toughly, making Zheng Huaixing look like he was kneeling in front of Yang Hengde.
But even so, Zheng Huaixing struggled desperately.
Yang Heng looked at his miserable appearance and finally calmed down some anger in his heart.
"You little county magistrate, why dare you stop the heavenly soldiers?"
"If you eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king, you will die, so why fear it?"
Yang Heng looked at his kneeling down, although his face was twitching constantly due to pain, he felt a hint of love for talent in his heart.
But this idea was quickly suppressed by him.
If I let him go because of his stubbornness, then I will attack countless cities next, and if the other defenders follow suit, I will be in trouble.
Therefore, Yang Heng made his heart tough and said to the person below: "This person ruined my major affairs, causing heavy casualties among the people, and the crime was extremely serious. If he did not kill him, he would not be able to calm the anger of the people."
"Tell me to go, and take it out and execute it."
With Yang Heng's order, the two soldiers dragged Zheng Huaixing out of the county government.
However, Zheng Huaixing was fearless at Ling Chi who was coming soon and still cursed Yang Heng.
And his curse wiped out all the little bit of Yang Heng's affection for him.
After this annoying guy was dragged out, Yang Heng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the lieutenant general below, and then said, "Now we are one step away from Nanjing. As long as we take Nanjing, we will have a foundation in Jiangnan, and then use this as a base to sweep the south."
When talking about this, Yang Heng himself was also a little excited.
"Who would be the pioneer?"
At this time, Liu Yueyue came out more and more and bowed and said, "I am not talented, I am willing to be a pioneer."
Yang Heng was still very relieved about Liu Yue.
"Okay, since General Liu volunteered, I will appoint you as the pioneer in the front, leading 30,000 troops to go first, clearing the way across mountains and building bridges across water."
Then Yang Heng sent another order: "The other troops rest for two days, and then follow me as the central army and continue to march towards Nanjing."
Afterwards, all the generals dispersed to rectify their own military and horses and appease the people.
Yang Heng himself returned to the back of the county government, preparing to take a few days off and then continue the unfinished journey.
But before Yang Heng could sleep for a long time, a military soldier came to report.
"Your Majesty, although Zheng Huaixing was lingchi, but...the people in the city rushed to take their flesh and make flesh and make it a bodhisattva to worship it at home."
