When Li Xingchen waved to them, the voice of "Long live" was heard.
There are actually not many local people in Xuchang. The years of war have resulted in basically all the people who can run away. Even those who have settled in the city are usually only the person in charge of the transfer station set up by the caravans or some people who are originally related to the imperial court.
, a restaurant and inn with some connections to the military, thus providing a place for travelers to stay.
During the war, the countryside is safer than the city, and the mountains are definitely safer than the countryside. It is reasonable for people to run away.
So now in the city of Xuchang, it is said that it is the common people, but in fact it is just the common people distinguished from the most basic common people and the army, and these common people are actually a combination of civilians accompanying the army, merchants who went north, and some of the military dependents who accompanied the army.
of southern Han people.
For the Han people in the north, the emperor, especially the Han emperor in the south, is an unreachable existence. Even Xuchang is not far from Nanyang of the Han Dynasty, but because of almost all previous exchanges between the two countries
They were all limited to designated places, and even here, almost all the people of the Han Dynasty were under the supervision of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to avoid having too much "impact" on the local people.
If it were not for the strict defense of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that the white robes of the Han Dynasty would have been everywhere long ago. It is impossible that they have only developed in a few important towns after so many years. After all, Li Xingchen's idea of building white robes should be considered relatively advanced.
, as long as we can grasp the key point of people's psychological changes, we will naturally be able to quickly expand outward and develop lower-level organizations layer by layer, all the way to the bottom of society.
For the people at the bottom, there is no need to worry about them leaking the news, because they have no way of knowing the specific arrangements of the white robes, and secondly, they will not think that what they have done is wrong, just chat and brag.
Why is it a crime to be decapitated? It’s just that they don’t realize that under the influence of public opinion every day, their own thoughts are actually changing bit by bit.
Li Xingchen wrote two sentences on Baipao at that time:
The spring breeze sneaks into the night, moisturizing things silently.
Baipao obviously understood what this meant. In the previous battle of the Han Army's southern expedition, Pei Yun obviously took the meaning of these two sentences to the extreme. With a single call, red flags filled the mountains outside Linyi City.
It's a pity that Yu Wenxian was very smart and didn't leave many opportunities for the big man.
Otherwise, Li Xingchen must let him know what the power of the masses is.
Now the cheering people in Xuchang City are mainly the people of the Han Dynasty. The people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty still maintain a skeptical and wait-and-see attitude. They don't know what this emperor can bring to this city and the world. Even China and the Han Dynasty,
It is already a very distant concept to them. In their impression, the Xianbei people with surnames and names that are completely different from the Han people are the sky and the clouds in the sky.
Now the clouds have dispersed, but what comes is the sunshine or another cloud.
Li Xingchen looked at the people on the roadside, and they all bowed down one after another.
Everyone's expression is different, either excited, expectant, or numb.
Li Xingchen clenched his fists.
I hope that I can bring hope and beauty to them and the generations of Chinese Han people in the future generations, instead of the continuing wars and killings.
"Boom!" A cannonball hit the tower of Xuanyuan Pass. The shell passed through the tower and broke through the wall on the other side of the tower.
The gate tower, which is not that big, is crumbling.
Several more cannonballs came over, and one hit the large load-bearing pillar of the city gate tower.
"Hula!" Under the gaze of countless people above and below the city, the towers of Xuanyuan Pass collapsed. The flying dust immediately enveloped the entire city. At the same time, the fallen pillars and bricks were scattered in all directions.
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty fled in panic.
Dust covered his vision, but Chen Zhishen did not intend to give up this opportunity.
Blowing down the city gate tower to create chaos for the enemy was originally one of Chen Zhishen's plans.
Xuanyuan Pass is located between the mountain roads of Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. The mountain road is actually not narrow and difficult to navigate, and Xuanyuan Pass guards the narrow part of the mountain road. The city of Guan is not that big, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a pavilion.
, but it was this small Xuanyuan Pass that gave Yuwenda the capital to resist stubbornly.
The Northern Zhou army already had a large number of people, and the small city allowed the army to quickly replenish after losses. Yuwenda could even fill the entire city wall with people. In contrast, the Han army on the offensive side was the front line of the attack.
Naturally, it became smaller as a result.
Obstacled by the mountains on both sides, both Shaoshi Mountain and Taishi Mountain were quite precipitous and steep, making it impossible to climb to the top of the mountain. Therefore, the Han army had no choice but to attack the Guan Wall head-on. The small Guan Wall was filled with Yuwenda
Soldiers, every time the Han soldiers rushed up, they had to kill countless layers of enemies. The Han soldiers who had just landed on the city must have few people. This was an almost impossible task for them.
This is why Chen Zhishen attacked Xuanyuan Pass for three days without making any breakthrough.
This guy Yu Wenda just wants to go all out, but Chen Zhishen really can't do anything to him.
Logically speaking, the easiest way is to send three rows of musketeers up, but this would risk the musketeers being captured by the enemy or the muskets being seized. You must know that since the muskets were installed in the Han army, there has not been any musketeers.
The gunman was captured alive, and not a single musket fell into the enemy's hands.
The consequences of throwing away a musket are serious.
Whether the enemy can still have the energy to research and imitate muskets when the battle situation collapses is another matter. The Han army itself also has strict control over the number of muskets. Each musket has its own number, which requires the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Guard.
Shitai conducts spot checks and statistics every once in a while. If anything happens, the general will be held responsible.
Now everyone wants to know who is the first unlucky person to "eat crabs". Of course, they have to be more careful, and they must not become that unlucky person.
Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the Middle Route Army led by Chen Zhishen was supposed to be the weakest enemy among the three armies. However, due to cooperation issues with Lu Zicai and Wang Gui and Yuchi coincidentally strengthening the defense along Xuchang, it turned out to be
On the contrary, it achieved the least results.
The East Route Army broke through Huaibei all the way. Although Wang Gui asked His Majesty to kill him personally, the East Route Army ran very fast. Now it has run all the way from Huaibei to Qingzhou, which is almost twice the distance of the Central Route Army. Not to mention the West Route Army.
The road army fought hard all the way, and Yuchi Jiong was so defeated that he abandoned his armor, which really boosted the morale of the Han army.
