Chapter 340 Winter Frost City
Under the coach's banner, Min Yulin was wearing golden armor, holding a sword in his hand, and stared at the heavy snow all over the sky with awesome eyes. Not far away, Lin Muyu rushed over and said with a fist: "Weihou, there is no road ahead. The baggage convoy must be paved again before it can move forward, so the itinerary will definitely be affected. I was afraid that it would affect the battle plan, so I came to report."
"I understand, thank you General Lin for your hard work."
Min Yulin smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. Everyone in front of him has brought food for three days. It's less than one day away from Dongshuang City in Lingdong Province. I plan to order the three armies to move quickly and surround Dongshuang City first. General Lin's baggage troops can move slowly, without any trouble. You can arrive at Dongshuang City within three days."
"That's good, my subordinates will leave."
"good."
...
Late at night, more than 3,000 supplies vans finally crossed the barrier and entered the plain. However, the heavy snow flew, and after the melting, the ground was covered with mud, and many grain vans were trapped.
“Tu tu tu tu…”
The sound of horse hooves kept coming, Lin Muyu turned over and dismounted by a grain truck. When he glanced at him, he found that almost all the axles of the grain truck were covered with mud, and ten soldiers could not push them together.
"Sir...we..." A Shi chief looked at him tremblingly.
Lin Muyu didn't say anything, and used the handle of the pear gun to pound out the mud around the wheel, then reached out and held it on the undercarriage plate, whispering: "Okay, push it with me."
"yes."
Heavy snow fell, but Lin Muyu whirled in his fighting spirit. The snowflakes could not fall on his cloak at this moment, which was spectacular. The powerful man in the Heavenly Realm used his fighting spirit to penetrate his strength, so he was naturally not comparable to ordinary people. The grain truck squeaked out of the mud pit, and Lin Muyu quickly broke the trees beside him and filled the tunnel.
On the side, Yinxing Instructor Chen Han looked at him with his eyes red and murmured: "The Great Deacon... The Empire really has a defeat to you. You shouldn't do such a thing here..."
Lin Muyu was slightly stunned, then patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "What should I do? Let's go, keep the convoy driving smoothly and catch up with the main force of the army as soon as possible."
"yes."
...
The result was still very surprising to Lin Muyu. The Lingdong Province was almost deserted, and there was no one inhabited within a hundred miles. There were times when there was no road, but sometimes bridges were paved along the way. As a result, the food and grass arrived in Dongshuang City five days later.
The heavy snow stopped and the sky was clear.
A scout team of Yangwei Legion rushed over from afar, and the leader said with a dark face: "General Lin, your food team has violated the deadline. If we don't come again, we can only chew the bark."
"I'm sorry, it's really hard to walk along the way."
"Come with me quickly, Weihou wants to see you."
"yes."
Less than ten miles ahead was the camp of the Yangwei Army. There were many wounded soldiers along the way. It seemed that there had been war here. From a distance, the flag of Yihe Kingdom was still flying above the small town of Dongshuang City, and it was not taken down.
In the central army tent, Min Yulin, Min Zhan, Su Wentian, Wang Xi and others all had a cold face and did not say a word.
Lin Muyu entered the tent, took out the sign to pay the order, and said, "Three thousand grains have arrived."
Wang Xi's eyes cold and said, "Dao Da Deacon knows that it has been violating for two days. According to the military laws, he should be beheaded."
Lin Muyu looked at him lightly, without saying a word, but there was a sense of pride in his eyes.
At this time, Du Hai, the vanguard of the front army, clasped his fists and said, "Junhou, this Lingdong province is different from other provinces. There is no road at all. It is understandable that you miss the deadline. Please forgive Lord Lin Muyu."
"Well, I know, it's okay." Min Yulin waved his hand and said, "General Lin, sit down."
"yes."
There were more than 20 generals in the central army tent, but Lin Muyu's seat was arranged at the end.
Min Yulin said: "Although Dongshuang City is a small city, the city is very strong. If the rebels from Yihe Kingdom defend the city, our strong attack will only cause heavy losses. What do you think should be done."
Su Wentian clasped his fists and said, "June, our scouts have obtained exact information. There are only ten thousand Yihe defenders in Dongshuang City. They are surrounded by us and are already in a desperate situation. In my opinion, it is better to send envoys into the city to persuade them to surrender. The Yihe governor in the city is Yuchi Lin. He was once a garrison in Tianshu Province. He said that as long as he is willing to surrender, the empire will accept him again and restore his official position. How about it?"
Min Yulin's eyes were cold: "The empire does not need rebel generals. They should have thought of what they are today when they gave up on the empire and turned to Yiheguo."
"That's right." Su Wentian's eyes were filled with a strong smile and said, "The subordinates just said to lure surrender. As for how they surrender, it depends on the king. There is a shortage of food and grass in the city, and they can't hold on for too long."
"Okay." Min Yulin nodded and smiled: "In your opinion, I will send someone to convince them."
"yes."
Lin Muyu felt chill in his heart when he heard this. He knew that the lives of the soldiers of Wanyihe Kingdom would definitely not be saved.
...
Sure enough, at night, the gate of Dongshuang City was wide open. The guard general Yuchi Lin personally led the guards out of the city, holding the seal of Dongshuang City in his hand, with no expression on his face. He was originally an imperial general. After surrendering to Yihe Kingdom, he now surrendering to the empire. In the eyes of everyone, he was naturally a perfect villain.
Weihou Min Yulin slowly dismounted, took the seal from Yuchi Lin, looked at him with cold eyes and said, "General Yuchi, why did your Yuchi family guard Tianshu Province for several generations, surrender to the rebel soldiers of the Yihe Kingdom?"
"I..." Yuchi Lin couldn't say it, his face turned blue and white.
Min Yulin brushed his sleeves and said, "The army entered the city and disarmed all the soldiers of Yihe Country."
"Yes." Everyone quickly rode their horses into the city.
Lin Muyu, as the accompanying general, also entered Dongshuang City with at least. The food and grass brigade in the rear quickly entered the city. Although Dongshuang City is a small city, many camps have been built. Although this city that has repeatedly changed hands has undergone war baptism, it seems that the civilians in the city are no longer surprised by this, and their expressions are tumbling.
In the square, torches were raised high, and a group of Yihe soldiers piled up their weapons together, then stuffed their palms into the tattered armor to keep warm. Judging from their outfits, many people didn't even get all their military uniforms, and some even just wore Yihe armor, but the clothes inside were really dark blue imperial military uniforms. They turned against each other again without even changing their clothes. It was really funny to say.
"It seems that there are also some troops in Yiheguo that my father doesn't love and my mother doesn't love." Lin Muyu said lightly.
The veteran Xu Ying couldn't help laughing and said, "How many people can Qin Yi take care of? Although Yiheguo said that all beings are equal and people are benevolent, many imperial troops were only raised by stepmothers after they returned to Yiheguo. Obviously, this is the case with the ten thousand people under Yuchi Lin."
It seemed that he heard Xu Ying's words, and Yuchi Lin's face turned pale and said, "This old general is right... But since we have surrendered to the empire, we must say that Dongshuang City should not be kept for a long time."
"Why?" Min Yulin asked lightly.
Yuchi Lin clasped his fists and said, "Manfang, the fourth-ranked seven generals of Yihe, stationed troops in Tongtian Province, with 70,000 troops, has come to Dongshuang City. These 70,000 people are the elite of Yihe Country. This Dongshuang City is just an isolated city, and the food and grass in the city is also very scarce. Even though the number of people is the advantage, it may not be a match for Manfang."
"Full square."
Min Yulin said with a strong disdain in his eyes, "Suning Hou Manning's son, a fat-hearted waste, can lead troops. Hey, I just don't leave, just wait for the whole place in this Dongfrost City."
"June and Marquis..." Yuchi Lin wanted to speak but stopped talking.
Min Yulin looked at the more than 10,000 unarmed Yihe Kingdom prisoners in the square with expressionless expression. A murderous intent suddenly flashed through his eyes and said, "General Xu, let the 5,000 people from the Divine Bow Camp prepare bows and arrows, each equipped with 50 arrows."
Xu Ying nodded: "Yes."
Min Zhan was stunned and asked, "Dad, have we taken the city? What are we going to do..."
Min Yulin did not answer and continued to order: "Tiebu Camp's van Tiefeng obeyed the order and immediately ordered the Tiebu Camp to surround the prisoners and block them with shields."
"Yes, Junhou." Che Tiefeng nodded.
Min Yulin turned around and left a sentence: "After one stick of incense, he took action, shot and killed all the captives of Yihe Kingdom, chopped down their heads and hung them on the walls around Dongshuang City, and filled the morale of the army in the square."
Yuchi Lin trembled all over and knelt down to the ground, shouting loudly: "June, no... They are also imperial soldiers, but only soldiers who obey orders. They have parents, wives and children. They cannot massacre them like this, no..."
"As an imperial soldier, you should know what loyalty is. General Yuchi Lin, don't say anything, otherwise you will join in."
Min Yulin won’t say much.
Yuchi Lin knelt there tremblingly, with endless humiliation and indignation on his face.
...
Qin Yan clenched his fists, and the jumping fire reflected in his pupils. He turned to look at Lin Muyu and asked, "Brother... are we just watching Min Yulin kill ten thousand prisoners like this? Do you go and persuade me? Once the surrendered soldiers are killed, will there be soldiers from Yihe Kingdom dare to surrender to the empire in the future?"
Lin Muyu pressed the hilt of the sword, was silent for a while, and said, "Ayan, have you ever thought about the scene in front of him that these Yihe soldiers who claimed to have parents and wives and children massacred unarmed civilians in Lanyan City? At that time, did they think about kindness?"
"Brother, you..." Qin Yan was stunned.
Lin Muyu gently patted his shoulder and said, "You should know how much more food rations you have to eat every day for ten thousand people."
"I..." Qin Yan was speechless.
