Chapter 1384 Hostages
The bandits like ants attacked Zhangzhou City from three sides, and the mountains were roaring and thundering. It seemed that the bandits had issued a heavy reward order, and the bandits continued to attack like moths.
They seemed to have seen the fatigue of the defending officers and soldiers, or they felt that as long as they had a little more effort, they could conquer Zhangzhou City.
The drums sounded loudly on the top of the city. Under the command of the generals, the soldiers on the city fell down countless boiling oil. The thieves under the wall could not hide. Many people were poured by the boiling oil, and screamed in pain. The corpses under the wall were poured down. The soldiers on the city threw the burning torches off the wall. Under the city wall, there was a sea of fire. The bodies emitting the smell of feet in the raging fire. The bandits who trampled on the corpses of companions also screamed shrillly.
Faced with such a sea of fire, the bandits in the sky could only temporarily stop attacking and scramble back. The soldiers stranded under the wall and struggling in the sea of fire were smoked and screamed hard, and wanted to retreat, but after a few steps, they fell to the ground and were burned into charcoal in the flames.
The oil was in full bloom, both the living and the dead bodies were burning in the thick smoke, and the black smoke evaporated upwards and rushed straight into the sky, blocking the sunshine.
The retreating soldiers of the Qingtian temporarily stopped and fell silent.
Although there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and Zhangzhou City is already incomplete and seems to be about to be knocked down at any time, in the face of the raging fire, we cannot seek death and rush into the fire. Both sides of the confrontation looked at the figures in the flames, and listened to their howls that came from hell, without pity in their eyes, but with horror, because many people know that the next hobby may be themselves. On the battlefield, there is no mercy, only killing the enemy and letting themselves survive.
Tens of thousands of bandits in the blue sky were densely packed on the plains like ants, on a wide open land, with flags waving, and a general covered in armor on a horse.
The Qingtian soldiers and horses are based on ordinary people, and the materials are not comparable to those of officers and soldiers, especially weapons and equipment, most of them are snatched from the hands of officers and soldiers.
However, this general in gray armor was very conspicuous among the crowd.
Behind him, following several cavalry, holding flags, lions with fangs and claws on them, the green lion seemed to be about to rush out of the battle flag and pounce on the city.
This is the number one general under the Qingtian King, Qingshihou.
The Qingtian Army all know that the Qingshi Hou is brave and good at fighting and is loyal to the Qingtian King. Under the command of the Qingtian King, he is definitely the best in the military achievements. Every battle between the Qingtian Army and the officers and soldiers will have the flag of the green lion.
He was tall, with a wide mouth and a high nose, and rode on a horse. He watched the Qingtian Army retreat with expressionless face. He looked at the raging fire under the city. After a moment, he whispered a few words to the followers beside him. Then the flag order was launched. The officers and soldiers on the top of the city soon saw that from the bandit army formation, a group of Qingtian soldiers held big swords and pushed a group of people out.
The group of people were terrified and uneasy, all of them were old, weak, women and children, and many were still crying.
Five or six hundred old, weak, women and children were forced to go forward by the Qingtian soldiers with big swords and spears, but if someone dodged a little, they would be cut to death and stabbed to death without mercy.
The fire under the city gradually diminished, but the anger in the hearts of the officers and soldiers on the city was getting stronger and stronger.
Han Santong was exhausted and his armor was broken. He stood at the top of the city surrounded by a group of people, watching the crying crowd approaching the city, clenched his fists.
When he led his army to Hebei to quell the rebellion, he did not spend much effort and beat the Hebei Qingtian Army to the point of running away. That was his most glorious and glorious moment.
But just as he was in charge of Hebei and surrounded the remnants of Qingtian, the Qingtian King rekindled. Overnight, the land of Hebei seemed to be full of Qingtian bandits everywhere.
Once, Han Santong went to Hebei, and the Qingtian bandits were defeated by the Qingtian bandits. In just two years, the Qingtian bandits suddenly attacked, and the ones who were defeated by the thousand miles became officers and soldiers.
In a year, all the land in Hebei was lost. The Qingtian bandits that once made Han Santong prosperous became Han Santong's nightmare. He knew very well that if he lost Hebei, his future would be dark. If the court had not had anyone to be sent, his head would have moved and now retreated to Zhangzhou. If Zhangzhou City was lost again, even if the court did not have the will to come, he would not have the face to live.
So from the day he entered Zhangzhou City, he made up his mind that the city was in the city, the people were in the city, the people were destroyed, and the people were killed, and he vowed to live and die with Zhangzhou City. It was this belief that made Zhangzhou City still not fall under the fierce attack of the Qingtian bandits.
Behind him, Zhangzhou magistrate, and Zhangzhou army officials and generals, all of whom were all looking at the crowd approaching. Shu Heng, a thousand households of Zhangzhou army, clenched his fists and said angrily: "General Han, the bandits in Qingtian are simply not humans. They have taken hostages and threatened us with hostages..."
In addition to the remnants brought by Han Santong, the Zhangzhou garrisons were mainly the prefectures and the few guards in Fuhai Road. Even the yamen servants from various counties were called to strengthen their military defense. Nearly half of the soldiers were born and raised in Zhangzhou. The women and children who were captured were captured from near Zhangzhou City. Many of the soldiers on the front were their relatives.
Han Santong sneered: "They are despicable people..."
"General, what should we do now?" Zhangzhou magistrate lowered his voice: "These prisoners should have been captured nearby. Among the officers and soldiers guarding the city, there are their relatives. If they don't think of a way, they will be in trouble..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a harsh voice released the animals and shouted: "Mom...Mom, that's my mother..." Looking through the voice, he saw a soldier lying on the top of the city, looking at the people coming from the city, his eyes were red. Then, there was a commotion on the top of the city, and someone shouted: "Three sister, that's my sister..."
When the people under the city heard the commotion at the top of the city, they immediately became in chaos. Someone was crying and shouting loudly: "Brother, brother, save me..."
"Son, my son..."
There was chaos under the city at the top of the city. Some soldiers rushed over and shouted, "General, that's my family. Open the city gate quickly and let them in..." In a moment, more than ten people rushed over.
Qianhu Shu Heng said sternly: "Back to his position, there are bandits under the city. Isn't it a pity to open the city gate at this time?"
"No, we can't watch them die in front of us." A soldier shouted: "Follow me to see the city gate..."
"Everyone is on standby, but if anyone acts rashly, he will be killed without mercy!" Han Santong raised his sword and was about to rush down the city tower and killed a soldier who was about to rush down to the city tower.
The chaos immediately came to an abrupt end.
The soldiers showed anger in their eyes, but they did not dare to act rashly when facing Han Santong's sword. Everyone was unwilling to return to their positions, and the heart-wrenching shouts under the city continued to stop.
A team of cavalrymen rushed over under the city, but only five or six cavalrymen, holding shields in their hands, as if to be wary of arrows shooting at the top of the city. The first one shouted loudly: "Han Santong, you are also the dignified general of Zuotun Guard. We beaten us and ran around like a dog from a stray family. Now we have fled to Zhangzhou. Didn't you say you are officers and soldiers? Since you are officers and soldiers, why can't even protect the people?"
"Listen to the city, you are despicable and shameless, and you actually use innocent people as hostages. Do you still dare to claim to be the righteous army?" Han Santong laughed wildly: "The bandits who kill innocent people indiscriminately and have lost their conscience in dresses...!"
"Qin State is rushing to impose bribes and corrupt officials are like clouds. We will do our way for heaven to overthrow Qin." The man below shouted: "As long as you are willing to overthrow Qin, you will be our brothers and sisters. But if you collude with Qin and are willing to be Qin's lackeys, you will be our enemies. Listen, these are your parents and sisters. If you work hard for Qin, you are enemies with the people of the world. That is your own burden to your relatives. We do not kill innocent people, we will only kill Qin's lackeys. As long as you rise up and fight against Qin with us, you will be our brothers and sisters. Your family and our family will be our family. We will definitely take good care of it. If you are stubborn, don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless. We will never be polite to treat Qin's lackeys."
"Absurd, do you believe these words yourself?" Zhangzhou magistrate was a little tough and shouted loudly: "What are the sins of the people? Just because of your few words, you can take their lives? This is the act of bandits. You are not as good as pigs and dogs, and you will always be punished. What a shit, the Blue Heaven King, under him, there is no blue sky!"
"Don't yell and scold, if you have the ability, go out of the city to fight us with both sexes." The lower part laughed loudly: "Like a woman, I only know how to yell and scold, and I'm still so arrogant. I'm afraid you corrupt officials. The soldiers on the city listen to it, and give you another chance. You killed corrupt officials, opened the city to surrender, and we will create great things together. If you still have to be obsessed with it, your relatives will not die in our hands, but in your hands." Turning the horse's head, he took his few horses back, and a group of people lined up under the city, followed by the bandits in the sky holding swords and guns.
The soldiers on the city wall became vaguely again, and someone began to shout with silence. Then he saw those bandits in the sky coming out in amid the crying sounds, hundreds of innocent people soon died tragically under the swords and guns, and corpses were everywhere.
The soldiers on the city wall clenched their fists and were filled with righteous indignation. Many generals wanted to rush out of the city immediately and fight to the death with the brutal bandits.
Next, the Qingtian bandits did not continue to attack, but surrounded Zhangzhou City-
