Chapter 504 Desperate, let alone do everything!
The broken and gap-filled weapons were spread out scattered, and blood was everywhere on the ground, and some dying soldiers fell to the ground and wriggled and struggled, and there were faint moans in their mouths. There were also many unowned war horses wandering around, and they were neighing from time to time... Although the smell of blood in the air still made people wrinkle their noses, compared to the tragic noise of fighting just now, the battlefield was almost completely quiet...
After all, Chen Zhang, the general who commanded the Liang army, had been captured alive, and nearly 10,000 troops led by him were almost wiped out.
I originally thought that the army of both sides would need to send out mail cavalry scouts. After a small-scale encounter, they tried each other, but the Liang army, who invaded the Mianchi area, was soon severely injured. Rather than being a coincidence, Gao Xingzhou, the deputy general who led a group of scouts, responded quickly. He first lured the enemy into depth, and then fought with the Liang army without fear of death, and captured Liang general Chen Zhang alive... This is the most important reason for this great victory.
In addition to sending a light cavalry to report the victory, Chen Zhang, who had to escort all the famous generals of the Wei army, was handed over to Li Tianqu. However, in just one day, Chen Zhang, who became a prisoner, died suddenly. It seemed that the feeling of disparity in his heart was too great. This old man was extremely angry and did not come up in one breath, and he was probably angry to death...
The vanguard of the Wei army took advantage of the situation to advance eastward, quickly recovered several towns and yards captured by the Liang army, rescued thousands of people, and sent troops to Luoyang to provide for pension and resettlement. The Liang general Du Yanqiu and Dai Siyuan, who were originally under the imperial order of Zhu Wen, rushed east to guard the Wei army's aid army, heard that nearly 10,000 vanguards led by Chen Zhang were easily annihilated by the Wei army's vanguard, and their military strength was greatly reduced. They had to send fast horses to report military information to Zhu Wen and retreat to avoid being defeated by the Wei army, which was in full swing.
Although the scope of the Liang State's invasion was withdrawn from the Heyang Army, it could roughly ensure that the important places in famous cities such as Luoyang would not be attacked by the enemy. However, the Shaanxi-Guo Army was the first to face the enemy's fierce attack, and the situation became increasingly serious...
The Liang army, led by Zhu Wen himself, has begun to launch a fierce attack on the Shaanxi-Guo Army. Not only are the rocks like rain and arrows like clouds, but the infantry, which are densely packed with ants, rushed towards the direction of the city gate one after another.
Under the towering city walls, there were many abandoned siege equipment spread out, and there were still a layer of corpses. Some soldiers fell in the pile of dirty blood corpses and were not dead yet, but they had to slump on the ground and let out heart-wrenching screams.
The soldiers of Shaanxi Guo soldiers were busy shuttled under the hoarse command of the generals of various departments. Some people pulled the bullets and picked up the wooden rocks on the wooden board and smashed them down hard. The archers of the team leaned out with the cover of the walls and the support of the shield robe beside them, pulling out the bow and shooting. However, the dense arrows outside the city shot like locusts, and some soldiers were shot as soon as they poked out their heads and fell on the cold city wall without a humming sound. Soon, colleagues came forward to drag the body down, and Junjian stepped forward to quickly fill the vacant position.
The Liang army still adopted the tactic of ants to attack the city, and it was inevitable that a large number of soldiers would fill their lives and pile up the city pass. This was no other way. If Li Tianqu wanted to fight west, there would be mostly rugged and difficult mountainous areas around Tongguan, and the heavy siege equipment that could be transported to the front was limited. On the other hand, Zhu Wen rushed out of Tongguan and intended to invade the key areas connecting the Central Plains as soon as possible, and he could not transport too heavy siege equipment.
Therefore, siege cities and land must be piled up by life.
On the other hand, in the camps and camps established by the Liang army, long poles were erected at this time, with bloody and warm heads hanging high.
The front of the military camp was filled with Liang's generals and soldiers who were waiting for battle, including many of them who were respected in the Liang army. However, they looked at each other in horror, and their eyes could not even show a look of panic.
Because in front of many Liang army generals and soldiers, in front of everyone, three other members had to retreat because of their ineffective siege and supervise the battle. The commander who had to retreat back was cut off his arms and knelt on the ground and was begging for mercy. However, the school knife hand, who was ranked behind them, was never vague. He swung the butcher knife and chopped it hard into his neck... The many Liang army generals around him watched the heads, mixed with blood and bones rolling aside.
Zhu Wen sat on the chair and looked indifferently at the heads in front of him. Although the military law that had to be implemented in the Liang State Army had long abolished, the military law that had to be implemented in those days... Zhu Wen was still very violent and harsh in the army. Before gathering the army to launch a fierce attack on Shan County, the capital of Shanzhou, he set another rule in front of the formation:
Since the beginning of the siege, any troops ordered to go to the city will be supervised on the battlefield in one wing unit. If they retreat, the commander of the unit will be executed on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers will be taken over by other troops until the battle is killed... and the deadline will be set according to three, five and ten days. On the fifth day, the commander of the battalion will be executed. On the tenth day, the generals who are to be held accountable will be raised to a higher level...
The military decapitation method of Liang Guoba’s team is somewhat similar, but the targets of handling are completely opposite. In the past, generals died in battle, but the soldiers under the military academy were killed together... Now, the soldiers you are leading are not able to complete the military order, I will kill you immediately!
The cold butcher knife was hanging on the necks of all the generals of Liang Jun. Since the supervision of the battle was not effective, they would undoubtedly die. Even if there were swords and fires in front of them, they could only jump into it!
Zhu Wen quietly looked at the hair of the heads in the pool of blood and was grabbed by the military soldiers. He was about to pick them up on the long pole and stood in the village with the heads he had cut off before... He watched coldly, his expression was silent, his face was cold, and he was as if he had no feelings at all, but his eyes were still full of madness and cruelty. He launched fierce attacks on Shan County, Shaanxi Province again and again. Even if he had killed more people, even if the blood was covered in the fields, he would still be willing to pile up like a mountain of corpses.
As long as Zhu Wen took down the vassal capital of the Shaanxi-Guo Army as soon as possible, he would no longer have any worries about marching eastward. As for how much military force is retained to confront Li Tianqu head-on... this time the troops were originally a desperate bet, so how could he care about so many!?
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and a scouted military academy urged him to drive in. He was about a hundred steps away from Zhu Wen and rushed over quickly. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the headless corpses lying in a pool of blood, which made the military academy feel scared. But he quickly noticed that Zhu Wen's cold eyes looked at him again, and did not dare to drag his movements at all. He immediately bowed to the ground and replied quickly:
"Your Majesty, Wang Tan and Zhang Cunjing, two generals, have sent good news and have led their troops to capture Hongnong, the capital of Guozhou!"
...Liu Xiu and Kang Huaiying had to concentrate their military forces to defend the most solid Shanzhou capital, and it was difficult to take into account all the counties and towns under the Shaanxi-Guo Army. Other cities could not be built as solid. With limited troops, they would inevitably be defeated by the Liang army.
The ruins of Hongnong City in Guozhou are full of holes and ruins. There are large soldiers who are swarming and killing generals to advance. The sound of hooves in the city is like thunder, and people shout and horses are neighing... The chaos is like the sky and the earth is sinking. However, even if Wang Tan and Zhang Cunjing captured the city gate, they still cannot breathe a sigh of relief, because according to another order issued by Zhu Wen:
In this war, if the city wall dares to resist, in addition to forcing the hardships of the people and men, the city will be slaughtered after the city is destroyed, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city must be kept without leaving any chickens and dogs!
