Chapter 1126 War and Peace (2)(2/2)
For a time, the morale of the entire Yu Chengcheng was boosted to the extreme!
More than ten years ago, the Han Dynasty army was approaching and besieged Yu Chengcheng. They did not surrender or surrender, but fought to the last moment.
Now, they still believe that they can fight to the end!
Even if you die, you will drag the savages outside the city to hell!
Unfortunately, these brave warriors have forgotten that Yu Chengcheng is no longer the one who united as one more than ten years ago.
After the Han Dynasty defeated Yucheng, it carried out a major purge on the nobles and soldiers who resisted Yucheng.
This almost broke Yu Chengcheng's backbone.
Subsequently, in order to restore Yucheng City, the Dayuan people immigrated a large number of people here, and countless people from other regions, including the Dayuan people, the Sai people, the Aryan people and even the exiled nobles and slaves in the Western Regions, poured in for more than ten years.
Among them, there are a large number of businessmen from the Son Du, Yuezhi and Kangju.
These people have no so-called Dorian plot at all, and they don’t have any sense of honor.
Especially those merchants who came from the poison of the body, they didn't care about the outcome of the war at all.
They only care about one thing and their own life and property.
Therefore, long before the Huns arrived in Yucheng City, these people had already sent people to contact the Huns, wanting to buy themselves a life-saving talisman.
Now, after witnessing the cruelty and barbarity of the Huns with their own eyes, these people were all frightened.
Therefore, with the connection between these vicious merchants, some of the Aryans who were also desperate about the future and the future were scared and scared.
Then, those from the Western Regions also participated.
It was these people who made everyone determined that they vividly described the killing methods and punishments of the Huns. The others were frightened, fearing that once Yu Chengcheng fell, they would also suffer this misfortune and become the souls of the Huns under the butcher knife!
So, these people began to secretly accumulate weapons and organize dead soldiers.
However, Yu Chengcheng's defenders knew nothing about this.
They also had no energy to take care of these people, because the Huns' attacks were getting higher and higher and more frequent.
The defenders had to do their best to arrange defensive forces, place wounded people, and at the same time step up repairing the damaged city walls, creating arrows, and repairing weapons.
So, on a rainy night, under the cover of thunderstorms, these people who were determined to survive organized a suicide squad of hundreds of people.
They braved heavy rain and quietly passed through the streets of Yuchengcheng. At this time, the defenders of Yuchengcheng forgot to arrange close patrols in the city because of the heavy rain, and only retained a few posts.
But most of these sentries have been bribed by merchants.
So, these people were able to quietly approach the city gate they had booked.
Then, a raid was launched.
Dozens of Dayuan soldiers who stayed at the city gate and were responsible for the warning were solved by them even if they could not send any alarm.
Then, the gate of Yucheng City was opened by them. Until now, the Dayuan people who were responsible for the warning on the top of the city discovered a figure through lightning and were running out of the city gate.
They urgently sounded the alarm bell.
But, it's too late!
Because, almost at the same time, other merchants in the city took the opportunity to set fire.
They ignited the crucial granaries, arsenals and wooden houses in the trade zone in Yucheng City.
The burning flames soared into the sky.
The whole Yu Chengcheng fell into chaos!
At this moment, the Huns also saw the flames soaring into the sky from Yucheng City from the camp. So the Huns were overjoyed and immediately mobilized their troops to take the opportunity to attack.
When the Huns' cavalry rushed to the vicinity of Yucheng City, they were surprised to find that the originally closed city gate had been opened.
Hundreds of people knelt on both sides of the city gate, greeting the conquerors' entry into the city.
From this, Yu Chengcheng, a strong city that the Huns might not have been able to capture for two or three months, fell into the hands of the Huns less than half a month after siege.
When the Huns army entered the city, the massacre began immediately!
As promised, Wang Yuan acknowledged all the actions of his army in this city!
There are only three types of people who can be avoided from massacre.
The first is the merchants who opened the door and their servants. The Huns were generous and generous, and even allowed them to retain their wealth!
Second, women under the age of thirty are the most important trade-related goods for the Huns against Han! As long as they do not resist, the Huns will not even allow anyone to hurt them, so as not to be unable to sell money in the Han Dynasty.
Third, and the most important and protected craftsman Wang Yuan ordered that any craftsman with skills, especially smelting, forging, and casting skills, and their families must not harm or infringe on them. Instead, they must be protected. He personally took Jiankun Warrior to the city and identified the craftsmen and their species. Once he was recognized as a craftsman, he would be placed and protected immediately.
Besides these three, everything else is not within the scope of protection.
Including the nobles, wealthy merchants, scholars, and sacrifices in this city.
The massacre lasted for three days.
Three days later, when the Huns announced their sword seal, Yucheng, an ancient city with a history of at least three hundred years, was beyond recognition.
The residents of the city were everywhere.
Almost all houses were burned.
All artworks, including the golden statues of the gods brought by Yu Cheng's ancestors from the distant foreign lands, ancient sheepskin scripts, and Hellenistic sculpture artworks, were destroyed.
