Chapter 302: Massacre of the City to Promote the Unification

The originally calm city was already in a boiling state. Every section of the city wall was facing fierce attacks from the enemy, which made the Song army, who had already been scared and at a loss, even more frightened. The city wall was in danger, not to mention going down to the city to block the enemy cavalry's offensive.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were almost unstoppable, slashing and killing all men on the street, whether they were the Song army patrols, militias who assisted the city, or civilians who couldn't sleep.

On every street, a large number of Chinese fierce cavalrymen were galloping. According to the pre-contracted topographic map of the city of Bianliang, the generals and officers of each cavalry team were leading their troops to speed towards the strategic location they were ordered to control.

The rolling army rushed through the city and quickly rushed to Chenshui Gate. This city gate was also guarded by heavy troops, but under the attack from the inside, the resistance of the Song army only seemed tragic and pitiful, but could not save the defeat.

The cavalry army rolled past the third gate, killing all the Song soldiers who were unable to hide from the city. The heads rolled on the ground, and the Song soldiers were piled up into a mountain, accumulated in Chenshui Gate.

Amid the sound of the trumpet, a large number of cavalry jumped off their horses, waved their swords to rush up to the city wall, and fought fiercely with the enemy. The steel swords were waving all over the sky, and screams were heard. A large number of defenders were killed by the enemy in a hurry. The bodies were thrown from the city gate and fell to the ground with a bang.

Under the attack from the inside, the third city gate quickly fell. At this time, the outermost city gate was also in danger under the attack of the Chinese infantry.

The remaining Song Bing relied on the barrier of the triple city gate and fought to the death. But as another city gate fell from the inside, the Chen Shuimen on the outermost layer could not resist the alien warriors coming like a tide. It opened with a bang, and declared the fall of Chen Shuimen.

The same situation occurred one after another at more than ten other city gates. Guzi, Wansheng, Xishui, Fengqiu and other city gates fell one after another, and the streets were also firmly controlled by the Chinese cavalry. Any Song people who appeared on the street would have to be hacked to death on the spot!

The fire in the city went straight into the sky. The Song army reinforcements dozens of miles away finally saw it. They did not care about the fierceness of the Chinese cavalry. Under the strict order of Cao Yi, the generals and officials from all walks of life rushed to attack, trying to rescue the crisis in the capital.

In the camps east of Bianliang City, Di Qing left behind 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry. With soldiers from fierce ethnic groups in the northwest, facing the 300,000 Song army with low morale, Di Qing was confident in commanding them to defeat the Song army, at least it would not allow the Song army to break through the camp and have the opportunity to enter the city of Bianliang!

The Dongshuimen behind them was not conquered, but at this time the Song army in the city was too busy to take care of themselves, and there were no troops coming out to attack them. Some Song soldiers even changed into casual clothes and fled, hoping to return home so that they would not die in the city and their relatives would be captured as slaves.

When Cao Yi led more than 200,000 troops to arrive, the entire Bianliang City had already fallen into the hands of the Chinese army. The remaining Song soldiers were forced to retreat into the inner city and surrounded by the Chinese army, and it was already a rush to catch turtles in a jar.

Seeing the thick smoke rolling in the capital, the old minister Cao Yi had already red eyes and shouted, forcing his subordinates to come forward to attack the Chinese army's camp despite the losses. He must break through the camp, rushed to Bianliang City, and rescue the emperor from the city!

More than 200,000 Song troops rushed towards the camp like a tide, attacking the Chinese army camps fiercely, and the large army pouring in the wild was shocking.

However, in front of them, there was a river blocking. In order to prevent the raid of the Song army from the distant kings, Luo Dacheng had already ordered the soldiers to dig ditches and surround the camp, and then led the Yellow River water into the ditches, protecting the camp like a moat.

Countless Song soldiers rushed into the ditches without hesitation, used their clothes to pack sand and soil and threw them into the river, but were attacked by arrows from the camp, shooting a large number of loyal and brave soldiers to the riverside, and blood sprinkled along the river, gradually dyeing the river water red.

Leading 80,000 subordinates, Di Qing easily protected the camp without any difficulty, showing his style as a famous general.

Luo Da was established on the wall of Bianliang City. He looked at the overall situation and issued orders continuously, mobilizing infantry to enter the city to control various strategic areas, and transferred the cavalry inside out to the city, preparing to launch a fatal blow to the enemy troops coming to aid the capital.

The fierce battle continued inside and outside the city. When the war broke out in Bianliang City, the battle outside the city became more and more intense. Cao Yong was already determined to attack the enemy camp. He would rather destroy all the soldiers outside the enemy camp than make up for his mistake of not breaking through the enemy camp in time and entering the city to rescue.

But in the past, if he really attacked the Chinese military camp, under the attack of more than 100,000 cavalry, he would have only the end of defeat and death. Now it is only because the cavalry army was trapped in the battle in Bianliang City that he could attack for so long without showing his defeat.

But when 80,000 cavalry lined up on the side of the Song army, Cao Yong finally despaired. The Song army under his command was also restless and everyone knew that if these cavalry rushed over in one fell swoop, even if there were 200,000 infantry soldiers, they could only be easily defeated in the field, and there was no possibility of victory.

Thousands of cavalry rushed by the side of the Song army, shouting in unison, conveying the orders of the Emperor of China:

The remnants of the Song Dynasty have been forced into the inner city, and the Bianliang City has been completely controlled by the Chinese army. If Cao Yong leads his army to retreat, the Chinese emperor can still negotiate with the Song emperor, otherwise he will immediately lead his army to break through the inner city and take Zhao Zhen's head to show his support to the Song army!

This is a threat and an excuse, allowing Cao Yu to take the opportunity to step down and withdraw his troops and stop the battle, without all the soldiers tragically dying outside the city of Bianliang, and no one could break through the camp and step into the city of Bianliang.

Amid Cao Yi's lament, the Song army, who were crazyly attacking the camp, retreated back to the formation, leaving only countless corpses, and Chen Ji was next to the river valley of the camp.

...

Luo Dacheng was free to revolt and slowly marched on the streets in Bianliang City, patrolling the world's most prosperous huge city.

Around him, countless powerful cavalrymen faithfully guarded him, and everyone had the light of excitement and worship in their eyes, and they were extremely excited to be able to follow the emperor and conquer such a prosperous city.

This Bianliang City exudes endless charm. Even after experiencing war, it is still full of prosperity. Such charm is something other cities do not have.

Under Luo Dacheng's strict order, no soldier dared to disturb the people easily. They just cleaned up all the enemy troops and surrounded the inner city to strictly prevent the enemy's counterattack.

But the task of cleaning up the people in the city will eventually be carried out. The Chinese army will organize the people to register and collect all their property, and distribute them into money and distribute them to the meritorious soldiers who attacked the city. Although most of the property will be taken to public ownership, it will at least be more than they received when they captured Taiyuan last time.

According to the information obtained by Luo Dacheng, there were countless wealthy families in the city. The Song Dynasty's popularity of commerce gradually emerged. Residents lived in five parts of Tokyo, facing the streets, breaking the constraints of the old Rifang walls, expanding the business of industry and commerce to every corner of the city, and at the entrance of the bridge alleys, forming a prosperous market of "South Hebei City".

With the development of the commercial economy, a group of wealthy businessmen appeared in the capital at that time. There were already many people with assets of more than one million yuan, and there were even more people with assets of 100,000 yuan. Even bureaucrats and aristocrats rushed to open shops. The ancient official's idea of ​​being ashamed of business was completely washed away.

With nearly one million people in the city and so many wealthy families, if all their property is cleared out, the number will be shockingly huge. Even the treasures they have obtained in the past are not worth a fraction of it.

The military compensation that Zhao Zhen had previously raised seemed to be a lot, and it was indeed difficult for Zhao Zhen to take it out. However, as long as he broke through the city and collected it among the wealthy families in the city, he could easily get hundreds of millions of yuan, which was many times more than the previous military expenditure claims.

Now, this city is in your own hands. How should we deal with the residents of this city?

Luo Dacheng suddenly felt that he was standing at the crossroads. After he made his choice, he could no longer look back and could only follow his choice and work hard to move forward.

In addition to working hard to promote peace talks and expeditions to the west, we can also imitate the Jin soldiers and plunder the emperor, officials, concubines and princesses to return to the north, but that was just the best strategy, and the wise would not take it.

If you really want to seize the world, you can temporarily release the people of Tokyo, try to use the emperor to command the princes, and then when you attack the Western Beijing Luoyang, you will issue a threat to massacre the city. As long as the Luoyang defenders dare to resist, the people of Luoyang will be slaughtered clean on the day the city is broken to intimidate the military and civilians in various places.

The future siege battle will be handled accordingly. After a few massacres, there will be few cities who dare to resist the coming Chinese army. It is just around the corner to sweep the world by storming the army.

But doing so is also dangerous. If the military and civilians in various places hold their bases and do not surrender, they will be plagued by the battle with the Song army. When they pacify Shu and Lingnan, they are afraid that their years have passed and they will have no more energy to conquer Europe. They can only lament that they have put their best time in the civil war.

After thinking about it, Luo Dacheng sighed secretly and gave up this idea.

Regardless of his dream of expedition, he could not do it just the matter of massacre of the city. After all, the memory of the Han people cannot be erased, and it is not that he can change everything after a high position and power.

Those who achieve great things must not be careful of the trivialities. Since Luo Dacheng knew that he could not make such a cruelty and slaughtered the Han people to unify the six worlds, he could only sigh that he had no chance of being in the Song Dynasty after all.
