Chapter 541 Gao Changbing and Saibei Rangers

The war in Dongkala went smoothly.

On the front battlefield, Yue Fei had no opponent at all. Even a few so-called strong cities were fragile in front of the Song army's powder.

However, the resistance of the Dongkala people is quite bloody, and this is true!

Especially after the Western Expedition Army firmly implemented Zhao Gou's established belief policy, many people really took their lives to resist to the end.

But their stubborn resistance is really useless.

In addition to asking the Gaochang people who followed the Western Expedition Army to laugh happily, they also made the large number of cyclists recruited from the grasslands in the northern border to be happy.

Because the more intense the former resists, the more they burn and kill, and they can grab more wealth and gain more military achievements.

With a "boom", a city wall was blown down. As the vanguard of the army, Gaochang soldiers and the cavalry in the north of the Shubei region rushed in like the flood that was released.

These days, the city is now doing its best to resist.

Whether it was the cavalry who arrived first or the Gaochang soldiers who arrived later, they had no choice but to do anything about it. Until the vanguard of the Song army led by Li Yanxian arrived, they just dug a few tunnels to reach the city, stuffed a few coffin powder, and covered the soil.

After a few huge roars, the originally strong city wall was overturned like a piece of paper.

Li Yanxian didn't need to put in much effort, just called Niu Gao, and the other generals Wang De led some troops into the city to supervise, and victory was within reach.

The Gaochang Army and the North Sea Cycling Rangers will "please" the city with great enthusiasm.

Those who surrender were beaten into slaves, all those who resisted were killed, all the nobles were killed, and all the rich were looted...

Anyway, half of the large number of spoils belonged to the Song army. The other half of the gold, silver and jewelry that fell into the Gaochang army and the Saibei cavalry would be sold to the followers' merchants at a low price to exchange for better armor and swordsmanship from the latter and exchange for better wine.

And all the merchants accompanying the army were imperial merchants.

They are a group of maggots who have lost their hearts. Shamelessness and greed are the most basic labels of the imperial merchants. Thankfully, it is worth ten to be exchanged from them to two points.

But the Gaochang soldiers and the northern cavalry of the Seychelles had to accept exploitation from the imperial merchants.

Because they were not Cossacks, no one believed that after their death, the wealth, war horses, and all his property would be taken back to his hometown by his companions and their sons to his children and their families.

Therefore, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today, just like a mercenary or a sailor on the sea. Before the next war comes, spending all the last penny in your hand is the choice of many Gaochang people and the Saibei cavalry.

Anyway, even if they die, their families can get a good pension.

Only those nobles with relatively large free space will keep some precious items. However, the wealth among the Gaochang people and the Saibei Riders also includes many Dongkala slaves, as well as cattle and sheep and other livestock. No matter who they are, they can only follow the military merchants at a cheap price.

The latter is definitely a fat, oily fat.

As long as the Song army could win in the war, they could make a fortune. Therefore, if they wanted to get such a good opportunity, they had to first use a large sum of money to buy it from the court - in the name of: to receive donations.

The city wall collapsed and the time for harvest came.

The corpses in the city fell to the ground, including enemies and their own people. The corpses of the enemy and me piled into small slopes under the ruins of the city wall, and blood slowly flowed to the low-lying areas, forming small pools of blood inadvertently. Fireworks in the city rolled in, and the sound of killing sounds were everywhere.

"It's really tenacious..."

Li Yanxian stood on the top of the ruins of the city wall, silently looking at the city where there were still people resisting.

Especially in a few temples.

"If you don't repent, you deserve to die!"

A Gaochang military general beside Li Yanxian looked at several temples and said with hatred.

When the Karakhan army entered Khotan, wasn’t it that the Buddhist temples were abolished and the Buddha statues and slaughtered monks, and did it even more than they are today?

Now that the heavenly side has suffered a disaster, it is just a reward for one reward.

"Am there anyone among those elders who are willing to surrender?" Li Yanxian looked at the unforgettable hatred on the latter's face and turned to face other officials.

"No," an official replied immediately.

The army advanced westward, and many cities were broken and temples were destroyed. There were many elders in the area where they were captured. Not everyone was martyred. In fact, more elders survived.

Most of these people were sent back to the rear, but some of them were still detained in the army.

But none of them dared to "take the most ruthless thing in the world" and were the first to step forward and surrender to Zhao Song.

"No hurry." Li Yanxian felt that these elders had not died at the beginning, and it would be even more impossible for them to take the initiative to die in the future.

After all, it is to cherish life, but to put it bluntly, it is to be afraid of death.

And as long as they have fear in their hearts, there will always be some of these people who will be used by the Song Dynasty.

"Hmph, I'm still dead. There will always be a day when I'll be afraid of them!" Li Yanxian's expression was very calm.

The court restricted its target to the rebellious people from the beginning, which itself put most of the Kala people aside. It was equivalent to eradicating the group of people who were most determined to resist Dong Kala. This will be beneficial and harmless to the "stability" of the overall situation in the future.

The next day, the fastest group of Saibei Rangers drove out of the city. They might have processed the goods they have obtained, but the more likely they have not gained much benefit from the city before, so they targeted outside the city.

The small towns and tribes outside the city are also a considerable wealth!

In the Tianfang World, in addition to the Gulam Guards, in addition to the state standing army directly controlled by Sudan, and the Iqta cavalry represented by the Iqta landlords, there is another important component, that is, the informal volunteer army led by the elders of the sect.

They have a variety of sources, including tribal soldiers from nomadic tribes, militia soldiers from villages, militia soldiers from temples, and volunteers from other Tianfang countries. To a certain extent, this team is the civilian "crusaders" of Tianfanghua.

They have complex sources and a variety of troops, including infantry, cavalry, and archers, and their weapons are chaotic. Most of them do not have good armor protection, and only a few people have a complete set of armor.

But they are also the ones who are tough and good at fighting by nature, brave and aggressive.

Armed by faith, they are very competent as the main force of the Tianfang army.

Whether it is cutting the way forward, conducting reconnaissance, harassing the enemy's rear, or even plundering, burning and killing, causing panic among the enemy and weakening the enemy's comprehensive strength, they are all good players.

But accordingly, this team also has the flaws of disarray and lack of constraints.

Once the battlefield situation is unfavorable, the morale of the army will be shaken, and in severe cases, birds and beasts will even scatter; and when the battle is victorious, they will actively rob the spoils, even draw swords between their own people, and kill prisoners of war indiscriminately.

Now, the Gaochang soldiers and the Saibei Rangers in the Song army play the same role as these informal volunteer soldiers.

They are not only cannon fodder for the Song army, but also the role of sharing sins and attracting hatred.

Most of the city breaking and burning, killing and looting are done by them, and they will naturally become the objects of hatred and curse of the people of Dongkala.
