Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 859
[Chapter 857 Hard Bones (12,200 supplements)]
Two days later.
Although Hemen County resisted very resolutely, the city still fell.
The county magistrate set fire to himself in the county government office, leaving no one alive.
County government.
Among the dark charcoal ruins, there is still smoke rising.
Tang Xun, covered in blood, looked at the corpses being carried out from the county government office one after another, and sighed: “Why bother?”
“It’s just a stubborn resistance. Such foolish and loyal people have been indispensable in all dynasties…”
Aaron sneered. With a sound, he asked: “What are our battle losses?”
“Prime Minister, we killed 800 enemies and suffered more than 2,000 self-losses…”
“Not bad, not bad. Based on the average exchange ratio of 1:5 for defending the city, this It was a really good fight.” Aaron couldn’t help but be quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the Liujia Divine Weapons.
Tang Xun, on the other hand, took a breath of cold air: “A mere county town has lost 20% of the army?”
Thousands of people attacked the city, resulting in two thousand casualties, which was already very heavy.
If it weren’t for the saying that the Liujia Divine Soldiers had no morale, there might even be deserters showing up at this time!
“Prime Minister, we must not go on like this.”
Tang Xun said solemnly: “Shuanghua Prefecture has five counties and Xuzhou has six prefectures. That’s more than thirty counties. If we continue to fight like this, all of our fifty thousand people will be wiped out. Ah!”
“Yeah! You can’t fight like that…”
Aaron yawned, looking a little bored, and waved Xiaoyu, who was digging a hole next to him, to come back.
“So… we should order a massacre of the city!”
“A massacre of the city?”
“In the land of Xuzhou, the power of the famous religion is deeply rooted, and it can even incite the people to rebel and go against us… It will be difficult to pacify it.”
Aaron sighed: ” The massacre of the city now can intimidate the people… But the big landlords are nothing without the vassal people. It will be easier to destroy the city later. This is actually a bit of kindness on my part. “
Although the massacre of the city has a bad reputation, at the beginning. The effect is really good. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has done a lot of massacres. In the early stage, he was victorious and invincible.
The expression on Tang Xun’s face was almost unbearable.
So the massacre was a mercy?
“According to my original idea… I wanted to incite the three religions to continue to fight against me crazily, attract more opponents to join the confrontation, and then massacre them one after another… After this, Xuzhou will be cleansed.
” Lun sighed, with pity in his eyes: “But if we slaughter the city now, the city behind will fall in the wind, and it will be a bit unclear… It will be more difficult to manage in the future… This is to put the easy first and then the hard. The difference between Yi.”
“Can this… kill them all?” Tang Xun was stunned.
“As long as you are willing to pick up the butcher’s knife and are not afraid of being infamous, how can you not kill them all?”
Aaron smiled: “After killing them all, they will move the refugees from other states and directly give them fields, houses, tools, food… Liang The army will immediately give birth to Buddhas in every family!”
During the discussion, a loud eagle cry suddenly came from the sky.
A hawk landed with a letter tied to its leg.
Aaron looked at it, and a sneer immediately appeared on his face: “The rebellion of the three mansions in the south… It is suspected that the three religions are behind the instigation… You are trying to play a big trick with me. In this case, then pass on the order and don’t massacre the city. Come on!”
Tang Xun was stunned, knowing that the Prime Minister had chosen the difficult path first and then the easy path.
“Instead, trap all the county officials, big households, wealthy businessmen, and landowners… as well as the temples and Taoist temples that once helped defend the city… and immediately exterminate all of them, regardless of gender, age or child, kill them all!” Aaron sneered. .
“Prime Minister, are you not going to withdraw your troops?” Tang Xun asked.
“Naturally, if we don’t withdraw, there are 50,000 troops in the south, which is enough to suppress everything. At least we can keep the gold and stones… I will annihilate Xuzhou within this year!”
Aaron waved his hand.
Following his order, countless Liujia magic soldiers poured into the slightly more eye-catching mansions in the county and dragged out the owners one by one.
Even the temples and Taoist temples were in bad luck.
“Help!”
“No, spare me!”
Tang Xun passed by a wealthy family and saw an old man being dragged out. The gold beads he was preparing to bribe were scattered on the floor, but it was of no use. Moved.
In addition, in this kind of mansion, there are many singers, dancers, and even official ladies, all of whom are stunningly beautiful…but they don’t even look at them.
“The military discipline of the Liujia Divine Army is a bit too good…”
Tang Xun thought that the Prime Minister liked to use retired soldiers as government officials and inspection departments, and that these people were often completely different from the previous petty officials. Not only were they very clean and self-sufficient, but they were also He likes to report his colleagues for taking bribes, so he is deeply hated by his subordinates, who say he is a stubborn and iron-headed person.
But the Prime Minister likes it very much and plans to use them as the main force to set up an Integrity Department, which will be responsible for reporting and dealing with corrupt officials.
“It’s really rare to destroy families and families in such a dignified manner and still be so disciplined…”
Tang Xun knew that such a one-size-fits-all approach would inevitably lead to accidental injuries, but so what?
Under the sweep of dragon energy, no matter how many lonely ghosts there are, they can only be turned into powder!
“It’s just that, the three religions will definitely counterattack madly, and the next cities will be more difficult to defeat…”
Tang Xun felt a bit toothache when he thought about the siege battles in the future.
Although many people were killed, they did not massacre the city after all. This was not a deterrent enough, and it was not qualified to make those people afraid.
When it develops to the end, it may become that the people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death.
‘Kill them all…’
At this time, the Prime Minister’s previous words seemed to echo in his ears again, causing Tang Xun to shiver coldly.
…
the first year of Kaiping.
October.
Daqu Mansion.
This is also the last mansion in Xuzhou.
In the past year, Xuzhou has been experiencing continuous wars, and every city and county has refused to surrender. Liang Jun is just like a fool who never looks back until he hits the south wall, chewing each one hard.
The casualties in each siege were extremely tragic, and there would always be street fighting after the city was broken.
Now, Liang Jun’s reputation in Xuzhou is no different than that of an evil ghost.
But Tang Xun felt a subtle change.
That is, after all, humans are not machines, and their will cannot explode indefinitely.
After a certain threshold is passed, the next city becomes easier to fight again.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Prime Minister continued to add that the 40,000-strong army has now turned into 80,000 people!
An army of 80,000 surrounded the city of Daqufu. You could vaguely see the soldiers above shouting and fearing…
After all, Liang Jun broke into the city when he encountered it, causing heavy casualties. He was especially famous for his love of destroying powerful families. .
On the contrary, the people with almost no property or land have come back to their senses, and even secretly look forward to Liang Jun’s attack on the city. After all, they have nothing to lose, and verbal promises and other deceptive things can be used in the face of actual swords and guns. , it is too fragile…
“Changjin Temple was burned down by the mountains, monk Xuxin died in the battle… Meihua layman escaped…”
On the city wall, Zhang Haoran, who was at the end of his rope, looked at the army below and couldn’t help crying. Hengliu: “Why is it that in this world, warriors are always rampant, but no wise master can be found?”
