Chapter 45 Aggression is like fire
The east gate of Dianchong City was bombed into a gap, and Zhou soldiers rushed into the city from here. The soldiers of Linyi, who were lucky enough to die, ran away with their heads in their arms. No one would fight to block the mouth.
The Zhou army that entered the city quickly spread in all directions of the city. The official army in black uniforms screamed and chased the soldiers of Sanlinyi. The sluts with various uniforms were even more excited because according to the previous arrangement, after Dian Chongcheng was broken, they could do whatever they wanted.
Grab money, food, women, kill people when they see them, and lead animals when they see them. Whoever takes action first will be whoever hesitates will have no share. To put it in a more elegant way, it is a plundering army, and to put it bluntly, it is burning, killing, looting.
This is the promise of King Xiyang, and it is a promise made in front of all the leaders who led the troops to help the battle: Dian Chongcheng will not be sealed. Of course, the premise is that everyone will work hard and obey the command. The officers and soldiers are exceptional.
Ships from various countries in Linyi Port are gathered in Linyi Port, and the sea trade is very prosperous. It is said that countless rare treasures are piled up in the capital of Linyi, and the Buddha statues in the temples in the city are made of gold.
The palace is covered with gold bricks, the beams are decorated with gold and silver, as well as countless treasures such as ivory, rhinoceros horns, tortoiseshell, spices, etc. These wealth have been accumulated for hundreds of years and are said to have accumulated like mountains, one after another.
Of course, the royal palace and the treasury must be plundered by the official army, but even so, Dianchong City is very attractive to Liliao soldiers. Linyi people like to wear gold and silver, and people with a little wealthy family have some gold and silver jewelry on them.
In addition to the royal palace, national treasury, and Dianchong city, there are many mansions of powerful and rich people. These local officials and soldiers do not care about them, and they are all trophy left to the soldiers. Not only money, but also women. Many soldiers of the soldiers are so poor that they have no money to marry their wives. If they can steal a woman back, they don’t have to rely on their hands every night!
Most of the people in Linyi occupy people, and their species are different from the Central Plains. Both men and women have deep eyes, high noses, dark skin, and generally speaking, they are not tall.
The words are different from the dialects in the Lingbiao area. Judging from the aesthetics of the Lingbiao Lili tribe, most women in Linyi country are not very good, but this is not a problem. As long as they are women, as long as they are living women.
Anyway, when you blow the lights at night, what's the difference between being beautiful or not? Not to mention that there must be foreign beards in Dianchong City. If you really get it, you'll make a lot of money!
As the saying goes, wine and color are red, money and silk are moving. The soldiers of various departments are red and breathing. Under the leadership of their respective leaders, they burned towards the nearby houses like spreading flames. Whether it is thatched houses or tiled houses, they are their "things".
The high-walled and deep courtyards are the primary goal. Although there are guards who keep shooting arrows on the walls, this cannot stop the "passion" of the soldiers. In order to rush in and do whatever they want, they are already ready.
The greasy rattan balls were lit and thrown into the yard. The rolling smoke choked the guards and the guards kept coughing. Li Jianbing used the cover of the rattan cards to shoot at the guards. He would suppress the opponent and then take out his flying claws to climb the wall.
"First climb" with a sharp knife on his mouth and climbed up first, poked his straw hat out of the wall and tricked him into an arrow, then howled with the knife and flipped over, and launched a hand-to-hand battle with the panicked guard. Their lives have been bought by the leader, and their only task is to fight for their own breaking of the courtyard.
More and more people flipped into the yard, and the guards were killed alone and cleanly, and the gate was broken, and more people rushed in. Seeing the panicked maids and the brightly dressed ladies, everyone's eyes became more and more scarlet.
Even though it looked ugly, the original instinct suppressed everything. The leader rushed to the noble lady, his subordinates rushed to the maid, and they went to search for gold, silver, jewelry and other valuable property. They brought enough cloth bags and were waiting to pack the spoils.
The corpse cannot be left behind, earrings, rings, necklaces, jewelry, dentures, and gems on the hilt of the knife. No valuables can be left behind. If a cloth bag is filled, the next one will be left, and the food in the warehouse cannot be leaked.
This scene is constantly happening in various parts of the city. Some soldiers besieged wealthy families, while some soldiers with smaller numbers are based on the principle of "seeing food and eating" to attack ordinary houses.
Civilians basically did not resist as decently, and after breaking through the door, they suffered very little losses; although they were ugly, there were always women; although there was not much surplus food at home, they could still scratch some of them here and there; and if you search carefully, you would find some gold and silver jewelry.
No matter how small ant is, it is still meat. It snatches it from one household to another. More and more men are killed, while more and more women and children are caught. The bags are gradually bulging, but there are almost no casualties on our side.
Many soldiers robbed from house to house with bloody heads hanging around their waists. These heads were taken to the government army to exchange for money. At the same time, they also carried chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry on their spears. That was their dinner tonight.
The sound of crashing into the door, screams, cries, wails, moans, and panting gradually sounded everywhere in the city. The plunder of the Zhou army spread around like a fire, making Dianchong City look like a pile of dry firewood on fire everywhere, thick smoke rolling, and the fire is lit.
In the city, a large number of Linyi troops were lurking in a certain shanty area. Unlike other Linyi soldiers, the soldiers of this army were not panicked at all. The general Fan Hu, the leader, closed his eyes and pressed his sword to listen to the wailing sounds coming from all around.
He was a royal family member of Linyi State and a garrison in the northern gate of the capital. After hearing the bad news of the city's destruction, he quickly led his troops to the mansion to take his family out of the city and flee to the mountains to the west.
The earth-shaking loud noise not long ago made Fan Hu and his subordinates come back to their senses for a while. The enemy broke the city so quickly and everyone was surprised. On his way to his home, he met several colleagues, and everyone decided to join forces to save their family.
But on the way forward, they found that the enemy entered the city and burned, killed and looted without waiting for control of other city gates. In just a moment, the military discipline was in chaos. Fan Hu sent a bold scout to investigate around him and found that these enemy troops with various uniforms were already in chaos.
Just guarding against the big families and robbing things and women, the enemy has no intention of pursuing Linyi's army. It looks messy and is simply a mess.
This is an excellent opportunity. Fan Hu and several other generals felt that as long as they took the initiative to attack, the opponent would never be able to resist. In this way, they could defeat the enemy and create opportunities for their army to organize counterattacks.
Without further ado, Fan Hu was waiting for the best opportunity, and the scouts who rushed back brought good news: the enemy troops on the streets robbed and set fires everywhere, and no one was able to set off defenses at all.
