Chapter 713
On April 22, the offensive and defensive battle outside Chongde City was in full swing.
Tens of thousands of Wu soldiers launched fierce attacks against this small county town again and again under the urging of Fang Shi Buddha, including siege hammers, cloud ladders, and hooks... All kinds of siege equipment were carried by countless soldiers and rushed forward. Even if the arrows on the city fell like raindrops, some people kept falling down, but they could not slow down their movements for a while. As soon as the person carrying the cloud ladder fell, someone would quickly fill up the seats, and the speed of rushing forward was faster.
The reason why this army was so desperate was naturally inspired by Fang Shi Buddha. Because not long ago, Fang Shi Buddha, as the commander of the first army, rushed forward with a knife and killed him at the top of the city. However, in the end, he was defeated by the defenders and had several wounds on his body, almost leaving one arm on it. It was his personal guard who was with him fighting to the death that he dragged him down from the top of the city.
But even though he was not seriously injured, Fang Shifo had no intention of retreating. After just bandaging it, he ran to the front line again. Fortunately, several generals tried their best to stop him, and finally he did not let him take the risk to kill again. But this was enough. The next attack on Chongde was much more fierce than any time in the past half month. The defenders on the city were about to be unable to hold on.
Seeing this, Fang Shifo even shouted loudly: "Kill me up. If anyone dares to take a step back, kill me, don't worry! Today, I will break the city, and I will let you go and rob it. I will not seal the knife for two days!"
When the words were yelled out, all the soldiers rushed forward again as if they were injected with chicken blood. As soon as the ladder was on the top of the city, countless people had quickly climbed up the ladder. Even though many people were screaming and falling after being arrowed and stone wood during this period, they could not slow down the other people's upward movements. In just one meal, the city wall in the west was taken down directly.
Shortly after this scene, the morale of the defenders had fallen rapidly, and then the south gate was directly knocked out by a siege hammer. Thousands of Wu soldiers howled like wild beasts that had been hungry for a long time and rushed in, and engaged in a more tragic close-fitting hand-to-hand combat with the defenders in the city.
The defenders here in Chongde were all inspired by some scholars half a month ago. Now the chief general who defended the city is also a famous general in the Wu army, surnamed Wang Mingchen. He led his army to block the Wu army's fierce attack for more than ten days and said that he would be able to last until the end. However, in just half a day, the situation changed drastically. Both sides of the city fell one after another, and they were about to collapse completely.
"What should I do..." At this moment, Wang Chen was completely confused and muttered in a low voice, but saw many generals looking at him blankly, so people's eyes were full of fear.
"General, let's open the city before it is completely destroyed, let's surrender." Finally, a close adviser raised his opinion: "After all, we were ministers of the Wu Kingdom, and the soldiers were all from the Wu Kingdom. Now that the enemy is in front of us, the court will not kill them all!"
Wang Chen, who had no idea, nodded without much thought, and said, "Okay, just do what you said. I also have some friendship with the Ten Buddhas of Fang, and I believe he will not show any mercy!" Anyway, the city was broken, so let's just leave a way out for yourself.
At that moment, he made a loud order to let the soldiers drop their weapons and slap the white flag, and then let someone open the east gate and the north gate, proclaiming that Chongde will no longer defend...
When the order was passed, the defenders, who had no intention of resisting, quickly moved. The captured city gates abandoned their weapons one after another, and the gates on both sides also opened. Thousands of defenders put down their weapons and opened the city to surrender. Seeing this, the Wu army, who had originally wanted to fight, finally stopped, but the weapons in their hands were still aimed at these former comrades, for fear that they would go back on their word, and at the same time, they sent people out of the city to report the news.
In fact, there is no need to send someone to report it anymore, because the changes in the city have been seen by Fang Shi Buddhas standing on a high place. But not only did he not have the joy of breaking the city, but his face was gloomy and even a little hideous. He immediately urged his horse to lead his army and leaned towards the city gate.
Wang Chen is quite self-aware. Since he admitted that he had failed to surrender, he would no longer take the lead. Not only did he personally lead people out of the city to surrender, but he also symbolically tied his hands behind him and welcomed them out of the city with regret. He had already thought about some rebellious words, saying that he was bewitched by others and had such a rebellious act. Now he regrets it very much and only wants to die. But General Fang is asking him to leave his soldiers under his command to survive in the friendship that day.
Of course this is acting, because in Wang Chen's opinion, he had already led his people to surrender, and he could not kill all the people. He would do something like killing the surrender, right? He was quite confident, so he walked quickly. After a moment, he met Fang Shi Buddha who came to the city gate.
"General Fang, the criminal general Wang Chen came to kill him. I was confused for a moment and was ruling someone..." Wang Chen had just opened his head, and his knees were bent, intending to wait for the other party to surrender. Fang Shi Buddha in front suddenly showed a fierce look and shouted in a low voice: "Damn the thief!" Then he suddenly rushed over, and the steel whip in his hand swung violently with a whimpering sound.
Wang Chen's martial arts skills are far inferior to Fang Shifo. In addition, he tied his hands behind him, and his movements were even slower. When the steel whip hit, he didn't even have time to dodge. He screamed and the Tianling Gai was thrust hard by a whip.
With a puff, Wang Chen's head was smashed like a watermelon, red and white scattered out, splashing all over the people around him, causing countless people to exclaim, and some of them splashed on Fang Shifo's face. But he didn't care at all. Another steel whip in his hand was swung out quickly, and another shocked general on the side of the surrendered army had broken his brain. Then he roared: "Kill them all! After entering the city, he will not seal the sword for two days!"
This last sentence finally completely released the evil thoughts in the hearts of the soldiers. Without hesitation, all the soldiers of the Wu army waved their swords and guns, turned into beasts and demons, and attacked these past robes. Suddenly, screams echoed through the sky!
The Wu army soldiers were already full of anger because of these traitors' actions. In addition, there were many casualties in the past month, and they were full of hatred. Before, they had some concerns because the other party suddenly opened the city to surrender, but with the order of General Fang, they no longer had any concerns.
The killing began. First, the defenders at the gate of the city, who were defenseless and even put down their weapons were quickly swallowed up and slaughtered. The subsequent massacre went straight into the county town, with crying and killing intertwined and spread throughout the space.
Sometimes there is only one difference between humans and wild animals, that is reason. When some people deliberately suppress their own reason completely, terrible atrocities will occur, and countless innocent people will become sacrifices for them to vent their murderous thoughts.
This is an indiscriminate looting and massacre. The military and civilians in the city, regardless of age, young, and young, men and women, as long as they are seen, there is only a way out. Perhaps those young and some beautiful women can temporarily save their lives, but what awaits them is even more terrifying, a tragic encounter like a hell of the infinite.
The small Chongde City is only tens of thousands of people, so the words of Fang Shi Buddha that he did not seal the knife for two days was obviously a bit too much. In just one day and night, there was almost no living in the city. All wealth and food were plundered. Many soldiers carried packages of all sizes, all of which were taken from the homes of the people. Almost all of them were covered with blood, but they were all satisfied.
This massacre gave their anger and beastly nature the best vent. Now they are very grateful to Fang Shi Buddhas, and the morale of the entire army has reached a peak. At this time, Fang Shi Buddhas ordered them to attack the next city, these people would definitely scream and kill without hesitation.
But the price paid for all this was too great. The entire Chongde County Town had turned into a dead city, with corpses and unextinguished embers everywhere, and the dry blood dyed the streets and alleys of the county town red...
When Qin Chi hurried over, he saw such a hellish scene on earth, which made his eyes turn black and he almost fainted. It took a long time to look at Fang Shifo who had arrived after hearing the news, and pointed at him and said, "General Fang, you... are so confused! You made a big mistake, how could you... how could you do such a thing?" At this moment, the Minister of Qin, who was greatly stimulated, was no longer as eloquent as before, and even said in a difficult manner. He just scolded loudly with heartache.
"Mr. Qin, what are you saying? Chongde and the people of Wu have been against us. Since I have been ordered by Your Majesty to quell the rebellion, they should pay a large enough price. Today, they have slaughtered all the city to let other cities see the consequences and make them dare not rebel against our Wu again!" Fang Shifo was very annoyed when he heard this and immediately glared back.
"General Fang, after all, they are people from my country of Wu. Even if they are wrong, they are just some people. How can you kill everyone without asking? In this way, not only will other rebel troops not be afraid, but they will arouse their hatred. In the future, other cities will be afraid that they will be strong and will not be able to surrender again. Do you know that just two days ago, Qian Maocai from Huzhou had suddenly led his army to rebel, and other cities were also ready to move, and you were still..." As he said that, Qin Chi sighed a long time. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Qian Maocai, he is so brave. I will lead my army to conquer Huzhou!" Fang Shifo was angry and shouted loudly.
At this time, he didn't know how wrong the decision he made for a while was and how serious the consequences would be. Anyway, since the big mistake had been made, the entire Wu court would have to taste the bitter fruit!
