The word "seeking victory in danger" can be used to describe almost every battle in Chen Mu's Northern Expedition.
The city wall of Shangdu City is extremely thick. More than a dozen people dug hard for a long time, but they could not completely dig through it. When they dug in, they even came across a large stone in the middle, so they had to go around it, which added a lot of trouble.
It takes one or two meters of work.
It wasn't until the night outside began to fade away that we finally reached the city.
However, Chen Mu did not puncture it to avoid being discovered by the people in the city.
"My lord, let's go quickly!"
"Walk!"
But after everything was done, Chen Mu led everyone out of the pit, and then ran towards the distance desperately.
"Run quickly!"
It was already half-dark now, and if you wanted to retreat, it would be impossible to be discovered by the defenders on the tower.
Sure enough, at the next moment, there were only roars coming from the tower. Chen Mu had no mood to care so much. Now he had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that the guards did not respond and fled back to the army garrison.
But soon, an arrow suddenly shuttled through. The nomads' archery skills were extremely accurate. A Qianjun camp man next to him was hit by an arrow in the chest and died instantly.
"Protect the prince!"
I don’t know which Qianjun battalion member shouted out, but soon, more than a dozen Qianjun battalion members fled behind Chen Mu, forming a human wall. In any case, in addition to killing people, the more important person in their existence was
In order to protect Chen Mu.
After several more Qianjun soldiers were shot to death one after another, the group finally escaped from the range of the arrows.
But when he looked back and saw the four twitching corpses, Chen Mu was heartbroken for a moment. He knew that the Qianjun Camp team had saved him too many times, but today he died so cheaply.
But under the current situation, how could Chen Mu have time to sigh? The most important thing was to quickly lead the army to capture Xanadu. Whatever hurts and sorrows, let's just cry slowly on a rainy night in the future!
This journey was almost a rolling and crawling process. When Chen Mu arrived at the position a hundred meters away from the army, he raised his knife and roared at the tens of thousands of troops: "Attack! Massacre the city!"
Soon, the army suddenly stood up, and then rushed towards the capital city like a vast ocean.
Chen Mu was already sure of victory in this battle. With that hole in the wall, once the Han army infiltrated, it would be too easy to break through the city gate.
For a moment, the Tatar troops who were originally guarding the city tower were stunned to the spot when they saw rows of Han troops running towards them.
"Why...why are there so many Han troops?"
"Has the front line been defeated?"
"Don't worry so much, just take the arrow and shoot!"
Even if there were thousands of people on the city holding bows and shooting arrows to block the attack, they would be insignificant in the face of the nearly tens of thousands of Han troops.
But even so, they still had to resist vigorously. There were ordinary people in the city, their parents and children. Once the city was breached, the Han army would treat them the same way they treated the Han people before.
"Brothers! For the sake of our parents and children, we must stop this group of Han troops!"
Under such encouragement from a general, the sergeants present drew their bows much faster.
This is what war is like, rising to the national level, perhaps due to greed and attacking each other for various interests.
But if you fall into these lower classes, there is no right or wrong. No matter Han or Tatar, they all have families and children, and they are just fighting for their respective countries.
The resistance was fierce, and for a while the Han army also suffered numerous casualties. However, Chen Mu had quietly advanced under the city tower with a team and got into the hole. As the swords continued to pierce, soon the light in the city came through.
Come in.
"Fuck me!"
The team exploring the road ahead must be elite soldiers, because the site above the cave must be controlled as soon as possible so that the troops outside the city can quickly enter the city.
The capital city is very strong, but once the Han army enters the city, it will be their home court.
Several Qianjun battalions were the first to climb up, and soon they heard shouts of killing, obviously being noticed by the defenders.
"Hurry up and occupy the top!"
Continuous Han troops climbed into Shangdu City. After completely opening up the advantage above, Chen Mudeng also climbed up. At present, more than a thousand Han troops have entered Shangdu City.
"Follow me and fight towards the city gate!"
After Chen Mu shouted, the army rushed towards the city gate in a mighty manner.
The army outside the city kept climbing up the city on flying ladders. Although it had no effect, it actually dragged most of the defenders onto the city tower.
As a result, even though they knew that a Han army had sneaked into the city, they did not dare to provide any support.
Chen Mu's journey was smooth. He encountered almost no troops, and even if he did, they were only small groups. Behind him, the Han troops gathered more and more, and soon they advanced to the gate of Shangdu.
At this point, Chen Mu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. As soon as he reached the city gate, the war would basically be over.
Soon the city gate was opened, and the army outside the city rushed in like a flood.
What Shangducheng faced next was a disaster.
Countless soldiers rushed past Chen Mu, but Chen Mudeng just roared.
"Mass the city! No young or old will be spared!"
This is war, and kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Chen Mu does not want to let anyone go, even a baby. No one can say for sure that in a few decades, one of the children will grow up because of this hatred.
It became a great disaster and brought catastrophe to the Central Plains.
For a time, everyone in the city was wailing all over the place, and countless Tatar people fell in a pool of blood.
Chen Mu knew that the battle was basically over. He sniffed the blood, listened to the cries, and sat on the ground to rest.
Huangfu, covered in blood, also came to Chen Mu leisurely: "The grassland tribes that have been in the north for hundreds of years have been wiped out by you."
Chen Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There are still many herdsmen in such a large area as the northern grassland. After this war is over, they will have to be swept away. But even so, as time goes by, the government will always be reunited. But if
If the main force of the Tatars is wiped out again this time, within a hundred years, the Central Plains will no longer have to worry about war in the north."
"Then what's next? Wait for the main Tatar force to come to the capital city for a decisive battle, or what?"
"Let's fight head-on to the death. Send a sentry to inform Han Xiner and the others, hurry up!"
Huangfu cupped his hands: "Yes"
This massacre did not end until noon that day.
Whether it was the people of Liming or the concubines and princes in the imperial city, they were all killed.
No matter what, this time it was indeed a crime to commit murder.
It was not until noon that Han Xin'er and all the sergeants finally arrived at Shangdu City.
"Brother Chen is indeed very brave. Did Datong City kill all the people in the city so quickly?"
Seeing the corpses and heads all over the street, Zhang Bowen couldn't help but take a breath.
After a long silence, Zhang Bowen couldn't help but said: "Last time we massacred Tubo, this time we massacred Shangdu. Brother Chen, you owe too many innocent lives."
