Although these trebuchets temporarily disassembled from warships are not as powerful as large thunderbolt vehicles, they are powerful enough.
Huge stones tore through the rain curtain and hit the city wall heavily.
The rammed earth city wall was in disrepair and was rickety. With the erosion of rainwater and the impact of stones, the soil on the city wall turned into mud and flowed down, making the city wall thinner and thinner.
However, the Han army did not need to worry about whether the city wall could be climbed, because the city wall of Xianglin City originally had many gaps. These gaps were simply covered with wooden frames, and there was no way to resist the Han army, even if they were advancing lightly.
When it comes to the theory and art of war, China is definitely at the top of the world.
The Linyi royal family, who had little knowledge of the city wall, naturally did not want to repair the city wall.
"This is probably easier than attacking a county in the Central Plains." Qi Xin smacked his lips.
If I had known, the navy would have joined in the fun.
It's not that the navy officers don't have the ability to fight on land. These guys are not any weaker than the army when they fight with swords.
It's just that Qi Xin didn't want to steal Luo Yi's limelight, and he also knew that the Army felt a little aggrieved after being at sea for so long.
The army had broken through the city wall in just half an hour, and not even a few bodies were left behind.
With the help of muskets, there might have been no casualties at all.
There was indeed nothing to fight in this asymmetrical battle. The Han army quickly entered the city and headed straight for the palace.
Lin Yi's army collapsed quickly, and the streets and alleys were filled with Lin Yi's soldiers fleeing in all directions. But this time, the Han army was not polite to them. They killed them all the way, and rushed into each house under the leadership of the commander and generals.
In the house, the good name is to catch deserters, but in fact it is to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder.
Of course, this kind of looting is organized and purposeful.
The military regulations of the Han Dynasty were as clear as laws and were very strict. This kind of military regulations had already existed when Li Xingchen entered Bashu. Up to now, the military regulations have been engraved in the hearts of every Han army officer.
Without rules, there is no way to form a square or circle.
The military's orders and prohibitions will determine the most basic fighting ability and spirit of an army. Throughout the five thousand years of China, there has never been an elite army that does not pay attention to military discipline. An army that does not care about discipline.
They can only be called rebels and mobs. They can win favorable battles, but there is absolutely no way to turn the tables in adverse circumstances.
What's more, the military pay of the Han army is already very generous, and every soldier who performs meritorious service can receive additional rewards. Therefore, the soldiers do not bother to snatch anything from the hands of ordinary people. If they directly rob the warehouse, things will be big.
It's not just that you lost your head.
Therefore, even if the generals of the army give orders, the Han soldiers will not burn, kill, and loot. If there are one or two black sheep, they will be caught by their own people soon.
The chief secretary and chief historian in charge of ideological discipline in the army are not just for free.
But this time, for the people of Linyi, especially for the nobles of Linyi in Xianglin City, the court's order is very simple. Those who can move will be moved. In the end, the court will only keep half of the things, and the rest will be rewarded with merit.
Soldiers.
Therefore, the Han soldiers naturally stopped being polite and broke in one by one, turning all the houses in Xianglin City upside down.
Groups of richly dressed Linyi nobles were taken away, and large quantities of gold, silver and jewelry were packed into boxes and counted.
Walking through the streets, Yu Shiji sneered and said, "I didn't expect that people in this dilapidated Xianglin City would be either rich or noble."
"If not, we in White Robe would not have been able to achieve such results." Pei Yun, who was standing next to him, said helplessly, "How many goods came and went on the dock, and how much tax and oil and water were included in it. In the end, the ordinary people did not get any share.
Even if we are getting poorer and poorer, haven’t we all benefited from those people in the city who pretend to be nobles and kings?”
Yu Shiji nodded slightly. The social conflicts in Lin Yi were obviously more intense than imagined, or in other words, this society could not be considered a whole at all.
Only the Linyi royal family and nobles at the top truly regard themselves as so-called Linyi people, while the rest of the common people are actually just the objects of their exploitation, or even just slaves. When the slaves thought of this, Yu Shiji realized that he was indeed a high-ranking person.
He estimated the level of civilization in this foreign country.
Obviously, Linyi's social system still remains at the level of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China.
In this way, it is indeed a good thing for the Han Dynasty to govern Linyi in the future, because the Han Dynasty will bring earth-shaking changes to this land.
The storm finally became lighter and lighter.
"Kill!" Several Linyi people on the street who wanted to resist stubbornly were beheaded by the Han army.
Blood flowed along with the last rain, and the head rolled all the way to Yu Shiji's feet.
Yu Shiji's face turned pale. He had never imagined such a scene.
Pei Yun kicked the head away and laughed and cursed several times with the Han soldiers on the roadside.
Yu Shiji gritted his teeth and insisted on running away without turning around.
He knew that the Han soldiers did nothing wrong and there was no need to be merciful to the enemy. What's more, killing these Linyi nobles would make the ordinary people in Linyi more willing to obey the command and leadership of the Han Dynasty.
Just as a Han army general came over quickly, Pei Yun reached out to stop him: "Where is General Luo?"
"Back to the commander, General Luo went to the palace."
"You are a little barbarian, and you still dare to call yourself king." Luo Yi held up his knife and looked at King Lin Yi with interest as he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. "You have been here for the past few years, and I have not been able to feel comfortable.
If you send someone to cause trouble, why don't you try to cause trouble again?"
King Lin Yi actually couldn't understand Luo Yi's Chinese with a northern accent, so he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
The Han soldiers nearby had trampled several officials-looking people under their feet.
In addition, the women, children, old and weak of the Linyi royal family were also driven over.
Just as Luo Yi was about to order everyone to be taken away together, Pei Yun's voice sounded from behind: "General Luo, wait a minute!"
"What?" Luo Yi raised his eyebrows.
Baipao's mission has been completed, even overfulfilled. Is it possible that this guy is still planning to get a share of the pie?
When it comes to grabbing military merit, no general will give in. Even his companions who have the best relationship with him have to fight for it. After all, the amount of military merit is related to how much reward his subordinates can receive in the future. If
If the allocation is less, how can I have the dignity to lead the army in the future?
Therefore, Luo Yi's expression was quite unkind.
"This person is not the King of Linyi!" Pei Yun said anxiously, "The King of Linyi Fan Fanzhi is a young man in his twenties, and he has Han ancestry. He is definitely not comparable to this thin monkey of Linyi.
