Chapter 409 Capture the Strong City

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The city walls of the various countries in the river do not have moats. They are basically made of huge stones. They look very rough and are about two feet high. Therefore, if you put a three-foot-long raft on them, the slope will be relatively gentle.

But there is a very important detail here, that is, rafts are set up on the top of the city, and the heavy armored infantry has just begun to attack. This is the most dangerous time, and it is easy to be knocked over by boulders and rolling logs thrown by the defenders.

Heavy armored infantry are not afraid of bows and arrows, but they are afraid of being hit by heavy objects, which is also the biggest weakness of heavy armored infantry.

So Li Ye sent another 300 heavy shieldmen just to protect the heavy armored infantry.

Three rafts crashed onto the city head, and the heavy shield hand raised a large shield, forming a solid shield wall, which was pushed slowly in front. Suddenly, dozens of rolling logs and stones appeared on the city head, tumbling down along the rafts,'

Bang! Bang!' hit the shield wall hard, but the impact force was still not enough and did not cause any damage to the shield wall. It was removed from both sides of the shield wall.

Behind the heavy shield army were soldiers from the Modao Army. When they were approaching the city head, the heavy shield soldiers suddenly moved out of the way, revealing a large gap. The black spear took the lead and rushed up from the gap. With a roar, he split the two soldiers into pieces.

Four paragraphs.

His men also jumped on top of the city one after another.

The defenders at the top of the city were shocked and fired arrows at the Modao soldiers. However, the arrows jingled on the heavy armor and had no effect at all. The defenders suddenly became anxious and rushed forward with roars. Forty people were already on the top of the city.

There were more heavily armored Mo Dao soldiers. They immediately formed two teams, one heading north and one heading south. They brandished their Mo Dao and attacked the enemy.

Although the garrison at the top of the city was fierce, they could not withstand the powerful Mo Dao Formation. When the Mo Dao Formation passed by, the enemy soldiers were cut into more than a dozen pieces. Broken corpses and various internal organs were everywhere on the city head.

It flows into a river, and the smell is extremely fishy.

More and more Mo Dao soldiers joined the formation, and in just a few moments, hundreds of enemy soldiers were killed. Everyone died miserably, and even the main general Amand was cut into pieces.

The civilians who were forcibly scratched at the top of the city had already been frightened by the bloody killings. They yelled and scrambled to escape to the city for their lives.

The crossbow array had stopped firing long ago, and six thousand soldiers were waiting in line at the city gate. At this time, the city gate slowly opened, and Li Ye shouted, "Enter the city!"

Six thousand soldiers marched into the city.

Hamill's house was also bloody. Hamill went crazy and killed all his young sons, and also killed more than a dozen women who had robbed their children.

At this time, some soldiers came to report, "The Tang army has entered the city!"

Hamill no longer cared about killing women. He rushed into his bedroom, took out a book-sized flat gold box from a hidden secret box and put it in his arms. He picked up a box of gems and ran out.

"let's go!"

Each of his more than a hundred soldiers carried a heavy bag of gold coins. Although this was only a small part of his wealth, he really could not afford more wealth.

A thousand soldiers had gathered at the north city gate. Hamil got on his horse and shouted: "Get out of the city!"

The soldiers swarmed towards the outside of the city, and Hamil had no choice but to retreat towards Dashi.

Juzhanti is located at the southern entrance of the Fergan Basin. There is a huge canyon here in the Alai Mountains. The canyon is about 80 miles long and more than 20 miles wide at its widest point. The Juzhanti River passes through the canyon.

The city is located at the north exit of the canyon.

Hamil led a thousand soldiers to run hastily along the west bank of the canyon, covering more than ten miles in one breath. The soldiers were so tired that they were out of breath. In front of them was the narrowest part of the canyon, which was only two miles wide. Both sides were steep.

of mountains.

At this moment, I heard a few gongs ringing, "Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The dense arrows came like raindrops, with such powerful force that the deserters were caught off guard. They were shot down one by one. There were screams and wails everywhere. Hamill was the only one riding a horse, and he became the biggest target. He and others

The horse was hit by more than a hundred arrows, which shot like a hedgehog, killing him on the spot.

Thousands of Tang troops came out and Pei Xiu shouted: "Kill them all, leaving no remnants!"

Four thousand Tang troops surrounded and killed the remaining hundreds of people from all directions.

After the Tang army entered the city, they immediately implemented martial law and no one was allowed to go out. All captured men were subject to strict interrogation and were released only if they were determined to be from the city.

Most of the thousand soldiers guarding the East City had been killed by the Mo Dao soldiers. Only a handful of them escaped down the city, but they were all caught and eventually died.

Li Ye's attack had two purposes: one was to open the road to Tochara, and the other was to seize the huge wealth amassed by Hamil and his men.

He promised that his generals would be able to afford houses in Chang'an within three or four years. Why? Mainly because of war dividends.

He had already told the generals and officials in advance that the spoils gained from this attack would not be confiscated, but would all be rewarded to the generals and officials. Of course Suiye's civil servants also had a share.

Therefore, he had also issued strict orders to the entire army before, no one was allowed to hide the loot privately, and those who disobeyed the order would be beheaded, and he would distribute them uniformly.

In the military camp, the soldiers' personal belongings were piled up like mountains. Each of them had a box containing two thousand soldiers' personal belongings.

The wealth of Hamil's army is not in the military camp, but in his mansion.

Li Ye came to Hamil's house. Hundreds of soldiers were searching it, and all kinds of wealth they found were piled up.

Li Ye saw the blood all over the ground and asked, "Has anyone been killed here?"

The person in charge of searching the house was Yingjilang General Yu Chiguang. He stepped forward and said: "That damn bastard is very perverted. He killed all his sons and their mothers before he left. They say that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, but he is better than

The devil is still vicious."

Li Ye nodded, "I guess he has done too many evil things and knows that his children will not survive, so he would rather kill them himself."

"That should be the case! There are also more than two hundred young wives and concubines, all of whom Hamil stole from good families. How should we deal with them?"

"Let them go home on their own!"

"When I asked people about my humble job, they basically didn't want to go home, saying it would be even worse if they went home."

Li Ye frowned, "If you really can't go home, you can arrange to be given to an unmarried general!"

Yu Chiguang hesitated and said: "Captain, I have a humble job and don't have a wife at home, can you?"

Li Ye chuckled and said, "Are you interested in it?"

Yuchi Guang nodded, "There is a woman I particularly like."

"Yes, but you can only choose one, and leave the others to other generals. Civil servants also need someone to take care of them."

Yuchi Guang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Commander!"

He hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard and soon brought a very young woman, probably about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was a typical Tocharian woman, just like the girls in Afghanistan and Pakistan today. She was quite charming and had a pair of beautiful eyes.

Her big eyes are clear in black and white, but if we say she has extraordinary beauty, we can't say that.

"Captain, it's her!"

Li Ye asked a few questions in Sogdian, and the other party shook his head sadly. Li Ye pointed at Yu Chiguang and said a few words, and the girl nodded shyly.

Yuchi Guang scratched his head and asked, "What did the governor ask her?"

"I asked her if she wanted to go home, but she shook her head and didn't want to go back. I asked her if she wanted to marry you, and she said yes!"

Yuchi scratched his ears and said, "Commander, please help me ask her name again."

Li Ye said impatiently: "You ask yourself, you have to learn to communicate after all!"

At this time, a soldier came forward to report: "To the Commander-in-Chief, we found a secret box in the enemy's bedroom, but the contents were all empty. It may have been taken away by the enemy general."

Li Ye sneered and said, "He can't take him away!"
