Chapter 241 It's just a matter of repaying grudges.
Chen Mu wiped the blood on the blade with the corner of his clothes, and just said: "I am not only doing this to eradicate the cause of trouble for myself, but also for so many people in the Central Plains. You can only see the river of blood here, but do you know
, is it because of the rivers of blood today that the Central Plains will no longer suffer from the chaos of the north in the next hundred years?"
Hearing this, Zhang Bowen could only shake his head in silence for a moment. He firmly believed in the theory of cause and effect. No matter how lucky Chen Mu was, he had killed too many innocent people over the years.
If you owe such a serious debt, you will have to pay it back one day.
Afterwards, Chen Mu asked Han Xiner to mobilize all the Han troops to the city to rest. He could feel that Wanyan Liming would arrive soon. Only by completely eradicating them could the north be truly pacified.
Above the gate of Shangdu City, Chen Mu and Han Xiner were holding the dried beef from Shangdu City and eating it with water.
"After this battle, we can go back to Yizhou. But after all, I haven't even had a drink with you. Guarding Wuwei Pass now is not what it used to be."
Han Xiner looked at the sky in the distance, smiled and shook his head: "The world has begun to go through ups and downs. The Japanese side can't endure it forever. This is why I didn't feel sad at all when we parted from Chang'an that year. Brother Mu
, we will eventually move forward together because of this world."
Chen Mu pondered for a moment, then sighed and said: "In just a few years, Huo Quxie died, Xiahou died in battle, Liu Jingtang was forced to live in seclusion, and only you and me are left."
"How can there be the best of both worlds in this world? The road you have chosen is too steep, and you are destined to need others to make human steps for you."
Hearing this, Chen Mu took a sip of water and smiled wryly.
But at this moment, several scouts who had been sent out suddenly came running back on horseback.
Chen Mu didn't need to ask anything. As long as these scouts came back, it meant that the Tatar army was coming!
"Hurry up and mobilize the troops and go to the city to defend the enemy!"
"yes!"
After saying that, Han Xiner quickly ran towards the city.
A head-on confrontation with Wanyan Liming was inevitable, but before that, Chen Mu still felt that he should hold on to the city first.
After all, these Tatar soldiers are now full of grief and anger, and their morale is by no means what it was before. Now they rush out to confront them head-on. Even if they win, they are afraid that the Han troops in their hands will be wiped out.
So let’s use up this strong momentum first.
Sure enough, after half a stick of incense, the first wave of Tatar cavalry rushed over first.
But it only stopped a hundred meters away.
When they saw their flags changed to the Han army's black Chenziwang banner and the Han army on the tower, many cavalrymen fell off their horses.
"Falled!"
There is also a very familiar figure among the cavalry, it is none other than Wanyan Liming.
At this moment, this man who had spent half his life in the military could not help but cover his face and cry.
He knew very well about Chen Mu, his opponent, and he would definitely avoid causing any changes and kill all the people in the city.
This was the case in the Tubo Kingdom a few years ago. The entire population of Potala City was massacred. As a result, the Tubo Kingdom has not recovered even after so long.
Soon the Tibetan army came closer, but when they saw that the capital city was occupied, everyone looked sad.
Looking at the young man who was watching him coldly from the top of the city tower, even though Wanyan Liming had never met Chen Mu, he could feel it with his intuition.
He immediately raised the knife and reprimanded: "Chen Mu! No matter how badly you were beaten before, I still think you are a hero and respect you! But who could have expected that you would do such an unworthy thing! My people
, my wife and son were killed by you?"
Even now, Wanyan Liming hopes that Chen Muneng will show mercy. His family is all in Shangdu, including his sons, grandchildren, and wives. Once they are lost, they will never get them back.
But Chen Mu on the tower just sneered: "Don't think too much, I am just here to destroy your tribe this time, how can I show mercy?"
"you!"
"King of Tartar, in the past few decades, you have invaded our Central Plains and killed many Central Plains people. Now you feel that it is very painful for your family to be destroyed, but what about my compatriots? How many innocent women have been raped by you? How many children have been raped by you?
Killing? In the years when you were in power, did you ever care about this? Now you expect me to be a saint? Go to hell!"
Chen Mu said it plausibly. After so many years of fighting, how could there be a time when this group of Tatars didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble? They laughed when they invaded and plundered, but they behaved like this when they were really hurt. It's really funny!
After that, Chen Mu threw dozens of human heads out.
"The heads of your son, daughter, grandson, and wife are all here. Take them back and reunite them!"
What Chen Mu did was to deliberately provoke this person. An earth-shattering siege must take place here today. This fortified city must be used to completely wear down the spirit of these tens of thousands of Tatar troops.
Sure enough, the moment those heads fell to the ground, Wanyan Liming said nothing, looked at Chen Mu, and then slowly returned to the military formation.
But at the next moment, the entire Tatar army roared instantly, and then quickly ran towards the city wall.
The battle was about to break out. Chen Mu quickly returned to the rear and immediately commanded: "Hold at all costs!"
"yes!"
Everyone was equipped with flintlock guns, and they were all loading ammunition and shooting at the troops below.
However, due to the previous efforts to advance quickly, too many gunpowder and iron bullets were left behind in Wuzhou.
The soldiers carried too little ammunition, and because of their grief, this group of Tatar soldiers were so accurate with their bows and arrows that many Han soldiers were shot to death on the spot.
"Quick! Han Xin'er takes people to demolish the house and move all the things that can hit people into the city!"
"yes!"
The bravery of these Tatar troops now really exceeded Chen Mu's expectation. Even with the help of flying ladders, they almost attacked the city tower. Fortunately, they did not have time to bring heavy siege equipment this time. Otherwise, today's picture
There is a real possibility that he could be captured in the battle.
This is called the victory of the mourning soldiers. If you don't choose to fight them directly before losing, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated today.
The battle continued until the afternoon. With sufficient troops and the strong city of Upper Capital, the Tatars were unable to capture it in the end.
After paying the price of thousands of lives, Wanyan Liming came to his senses and slowly withdrew the army.
However, it was too late to fight anymore. Chen Mu would never give him another chance. After withdrawing about a mile, he led all the remaining Han troops out of the city to pursue him.
