Nie Ze's words made Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, and Zhang Cheng speechless. His tough tactics cannot be said to be wrong, but from a rational point of view, they are too cruel to the soldiers who are charging into the battle, and it also makes them feel uncomfortable.
It's hard for people to accept.
On the battlefield, the Feng army charged fiercely and sharply, attacking wave after wave, regardless of their own casualties. The Mo army in Baitu City was also extremely tenacious. The soldiers in front died in the battle, and the people behind immediately stepped in to supplement them. The two sides began to fight.
It was a bloody battle like a meat grinder.
On such a fierce battlefield, the entire 100,000-strong Feng army only fought for less than two hours before showing a weak posture.
Upon seeing this, Nie Ze immediately ordered that the remaining 300,000 troops led by Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, and Zhang Cheng all go into battle and attack the city from the other three directions. Just like Guan Dai's side, when attacking the city, his own troops threw stones.
The machine and the city-breaking crossbow all stopped.
The 400,000-strong Hundred War Army was divided into four waves and attacked Baitu City from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. At this time, the defenders in the city began to be unable to hold on.
Under Zhenren's reckless and almost suicidal onslaught, not to mention that the 80,000 people in the city were not enough, even if there were doubled or tripled, they would still be unable to withstand it. The gap in combat power and military strength between the two sides has already been
It cannot be made up for by a strong will.
When the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, three consecutive stone bullets happened to hit the weakest point of the Baitu City wall, causing the wall to collapse. The wind of the bloody battle on the city wall caused the soldiers of the two armies to fall down one after another, killing and injuring countless people.
However, the collapse of the city wall also opened a gap for the Feng Army outside the city. How could the Feng Army soldiers who had not yet had time to climb up the city wall along the ladders miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Looking at the collapsed city wall, people's eyes turned red.
The neck monsters screamed, rolled and crawled forward, swarmed in along the gap, and rushed directly into the city.
There was a city wall to resist the Feng army outside, but the Mo army could not support it. Now that the Feng army entered the city, the Mo army was defeated even faster. The Mo army who was fighting on the city wall saw a large number of Feng army rushing in and was no longer interested in fighting.
, and ran towards the city involuntarily.
But as soon as they got off the city wall, they were attacked head-on by the Feng army. For a while, the defenders here could neither fight nor escape, and became a mess.
This kind of chaotic battle is what Zhenren wants to see most. Zhenren's ability to coordinate multiple soldiers is very average, but his ability in individual combat is extremely strong. Chaotic warfare is where individual combat comes into play, so Zhenren has always
Likes to cause chaos.
One wall of Baitu City was broken, and the direct consequence was that the defenses of the other three walls also collapsed. A large number of Mo troops ran down the wall and scurried around the city like headless flies. Some people gathered to guard a street.
Or a big house, some soldiers ran into people's homes to hide.
Nie Ze, who was fighting outside, saw that his own soldiers had already breached the city. He immediately ordered the messengers around him to send a message to the soldiers inside the city to kill all the enemies in the city. They must eradicate all enemies and leave no one behind.
In his order, he only said to kill all the enemies, but when it reached the ears of the soldiers in the city, it automatically changed to kill all the people in the city. The Zhen people were barbaric and cruel, and they were used to slaughtering the city in war. In their eyes,
The people of the enemy country are enemies just like the enemy troops.
The ensuing war can no longer be called a battle. It completely turned into a one-sided massacre. The Feng army entering the city launched a carpet-like search, killing and beheading everyone they saw. The entire Baitu City, streets and streets
The alleys were full of wind troops, there were flashes of swords and blood shadows everywhere, and the screams of people dying before they could be heard everywhere.
At this time, Zhenren's ferocious nature was fully revealed, and the soldiers who had been fighting bravely on the battlefield a moment ago all turned into inhuman beasts in the blink of an eye.
In the Feng Kingdom, the tradition of massacring the city has long been abolished. In the military law, indiscriminate killing of innocent people is also explicitly prohibited. Now we see the Zhen soldiers bloody massacre of the people in the city. Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, Guan Dai Si
It's not that they don't want to stop it, but they can't stop it at all. The soldiers who usually looked up to them seemed to have changed, and they didn't listen to their orders at all. In the end, the four people really had no choice, so they got together and calculated,
We still have to go find Nie Ze. I'm afraid these loyal people will only listen to Nie Ze's command.
The four people rode out of the city on fast horses. As soon as they walked not far away, they saw Nie Ze's personal guards coming towards them. The four people were overjoyed and rushed their horses forward. After seeing Nie Ze, the four people bowed their hands and then took the people in the city.
He briefly reported the situation to Nie Ze, and finally asked him to quickly issue an order to prohibit the massacre of the city and the robbery of property.
When Nie Ze heard the four people's request, he just smiled slightly with disapproval on his face. Since the overall situation was now decided, his expression was much more relaxed, not as fierce as before. He casually patted the shoulder of Guan Dai who was closest to him.
, smiled and said: "All four generals have hunted, right?"
The four of them were stunned by his inexplicable question and looked at each other. Finally, they all nodded and said, "Of course."
Nie Zele said: "Since you have hunted before, you should understand that when the hunting dog helps you catch the prey, you have to share the internal organs of the prey with the hunting dog. Only in this way, the hunting dog will work harder to help you catch the prey next time.
, otherwise, the hunting dogs will not go up to the prey next time. Fighting is just like hunting. If the soldiers are not allowed to vent their anger and hatred, and if the soldiers are not given some sweetness and benefits, who will fight next time?
You and I sacrifice our lives and march forward bravely to kill the enemy?"
This... what kind of fallacy is this? He actually compared the soldiers to hunting dogs! Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, and Guan Dai were all dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The four of them were stunned, but the guards around them all grinned. No one was unhappy that Nie Ze compared them to hunting dogs, and everyone seemed to find it interesting.
Nie Ze clapped his hands, woke up the four of them, and said: "Okay, don't waste time here. At this time, you should be with the soldiers below. If you want to integrate into the Hundred War Army and get along with the soldiers,
If you want to establish prestige in the minds of the soldiers, do what the soldiers are doing now! Otherwise, you will appear too out of place. If you are ostracized in the future, don't blame me for not warning you."
He knew very well in his heart that the king sent these four people to the Hundred War Army just to divide his power, but in his opinion, it didn't matter. Firstly, he didn't expect to have much power. Secondly, with this
The presence of the four of them is a talisman for him. At least his every move is under the control of the king. This is much better than the king being wary and suspicious of him all day long. So he also hopes that Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang
Cheng and Guan Dai were able to integrate into the army as quickly as possible and were accepted by the soldiers below.
Nie Ze knew his own strengths and weaknesses very well. He was a general who knew how to lead troops in war. He was a straightforward rough man. He was not good at playing politics, power, and intrigues that could get him into trouble if he was not careful. He would try his best not to touch them.
Peng, since he has taken refuge in Feng Country, he should work in Feng Country with all his heart. He is not sure how much development and future he can have, but at least this way he can ensure that he and his family are safe and have enough food and clothing.
He thinks that he is a simple-minded rough man, but in fact, he is a wise man with great wisdom and foolishness. This is Nie Ze, who is arrogant in front of others, but when he looks at himself, he always puts himself at the lowest point.
Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, and Guan Dai were all taken away by him. He led his personal guards to first inspect the granaries and bank vaults in the city, and then sat in the city lord's palace to handle a series of post-war affairs.
.
In the battle of Bai Tu City, the two sides only fought for an hour and a half, but the massacre in Bai Tu City ended in the early morning of the next day. What he said at the beginning became a fact. After the first battle, White Tu City became Red Tu City. Not only did the 80,000 defenders
All the soldiers were killed, and the 200,000 people in the city were not spared either. Most of them fell victim to the swords of the soldiers of the Hundred Wars Army, and there were only a handful of lucky ones who managed to escape.
After a bloody massacre, almost all the soldiers of the Hundred Wars Army made a lot of money, and many people looted money to make their breastplates bulge.
However, the Zhen people plundered money, and no one dared to touch the city's bank vaults and granaries. They were directly owned by the legion. In addition, there was a tradition among the Zhen army that soldiers were not allowed to carry money, so the Zhen people robbed
The money obtained must also be handed over to the legion, which will keep accounts and keep it until the war is over and the army returns to the fields.
Once the war breaks out, they will be collected temporarily.), and the money will be returned in full. If the soldiers unfortunately die in battle, these trophies will not be withheld or confiscated, and can be returned to their homes according to the account book.
After the massacre of the city came the aftermath. According to Nie Ze's opinion, Baitu City should be burned down. The Zhenjun did the same thing in the Feng Kingdom. They destroyed the city, massacred the city, and destroyed the city. This is also the tradition of the Zhenjun.
one.
However, the four deputy army commanders insisted on opposing. This time they moved Tang Yin out and took a tough stance. They repeatedly stated that what the king wanted was a city, not a ruin. Baitu City must be left behind as one of the logistical supplies for his army's march south.
land.
Regarding such trivial matters, Nie Ze refused to argue with them and agreed to keep Baitu City. However, since the city was left behind, the corpses of the people in the city had to be properly placed. First, massacring the city was not a good thing. If it spread around, it would be detrimental to the public image.
Secondly, if the corpses are not disposed of properly, they can easily lead to epidemics, and Baitu City will still become an abandoned city.
It was not an easy task to deal with so many corpses. Nie Ze could only let Bai Zhanjun temporarily stationed in Baitu City.
But when it comes to dealing with post-war issues, Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, and Guan Dai still have various differences with Nie Ze in their views. Take the loot plundered by the Zhen people as an example, the four of them mean to take all
It will be handed over to the legion and will not be returned to the soldiers in the future.
Of course Nie Ze disagreed. Zhenjun had never had such unreasonable rules.
