Chapter 836: Sunrise in the East (61)

The eagle's eyes slowly scanned the generals under his tent, and the long and narrow slits in his eyes revealed a smug look. Ji City was about to be destroyed, and Langya County was also trembling under his own troops. The reinforcements sent by his father, led by Wei He and led by 20,000 people, had already marched towards western Liaoning. At this time, the main force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army was still fighting fiercely against Donghu. Thinking of this, Tian Fucheng almost wanted to laugh out loud. At the end of the battle, even if they won the battle and returned with exhausted troops from thousands of miles away, how could they be the opponent of the Qi army who was recharging its energy and waiting for work? What's more, by that time, the home base of the Eastern Conquest Army was already under the control of the Qi Army. What's the use of an army that has lost its backup and base points, no matter how powerful it is? Final defeat is not far away from them

Tian Fucheng simply admired his father's foresight. From the time when the Eastern Expeditionary Army began to focus on attacking the Donghu people, his father began to send people to help the Donghu people train infantry, and spent a lot of money to take the sea route. .huhuom delivered a large amount of supplies and weapons to the Donghu people. At that time, everyone in Qi, including himself, was puzzled and even dissatisfied with his father's actions. They thought that giving the Qi people's people's wealth to those savages would It was such a waste, but now it seems that this was a far-sighted move by my father. It turned out that from that time on, or even further before, my father had already been planning the current situation.

Thinking of Gao Yuan's hard work for seven or eight years, beating the Yan Kingdom to the brink of death, and now beating Donghu to the point of imminent subjugation, but in the end it was not Gao Yuan and his Zhengdong Mansion, but Yu Yu who reaped the fruitful fruits. After Weng Deli's Qi State annexed the entire Yan State and the results of Gao Yuan's hard work over the years, Qi State will become a superpower that surpasses Zhao State and can even compete with Qin State.

It’s exciting to think about competing in this final battle with the Qin people! The dying Wei Yan, the declining Zhao State. The Chu State, which is unwilling to make progress and lives in peace in the south, will eventually become a stepping stone for Qi and Qin to strive for world hegemony.

When the first morning light fell outside the tent, Tian Fucheng stood up and simply uttered two words, "Attack the city!" There was no need for any more mobilization, and a bright prospect was placed in front of them. If you can't step forward bravely at this moment, then do you still deserve to be a Qilu man?

The sound of war drums sounded earth-shattering, and groups of Qi troops marched out from the camp. Running towards the towering Langya County City in the distance

Along with the sound of war drums in the distance and the shouts that shook the world, a dull drum sounded on the city tower of Langya County. After this drum sounded, more drums joined in neatly, Amid the sound of drums, groups of soldiers emerged from the top of the city. They were all battle-hardened soldiers. Facing an enemy force several times larger than his own, he didn't feel any panic at all, and looked at the enemy with high fighting spirit. What is revealed in his eyes is a desire to fight and to fight.

The soldiers walked to their posts in an orderly manner, calmly inspected their swords and guns, and carefully wound the latest bow strings for their crossbows. Loading the crossbow and placing the stones in the most convenient position, he stretched out his hand to pull the rope of the nail racket and turned around. The piles of firewood behind Dian Ran,

In the large pots above, a mixture of fat, water, and feces is boiling.

A bugle sounded from the top of the city. The calm soldiers raised their heads in surprise and looked at the generals standing on the tower, because the sound of the bugle meant that military law was about to be implemented in front of the formation.

Is it because of timidity? This made the soldiers feel a little humiliated. For many years, their army had never been dealt with for this reason before the two armies fought. The soldiers straightened up and looked at the inclined ladder behind the city. , a group of two soldiers dragged a group of men, women, old and young onto the tower. There were probably hundreds of people. Everyone had their hands tied behind their backs. The sound of wailing and crying echoed on the tower.

The soldiers were even more surprised. This was the first time they saw such a thing. The people escorting these people to the tower were not ordinary soldiers. They were wearing black military uniforms with a skull and a dagger crossed on their arms. The pattern shows that they are from the Zhengdong Mansion Supervisory Office

Among ordinary soldiers, the Oversight Council is a mysterious department

The group of people who were escorted to the tower were forced to kneel on the tower. An officer in black came to the front and began to loudly announce their crimes.

This group of people were all from the Quan family of Langya. The entire family headed by Quan Mingkang was uprooted and all were taken to the tower. Cao Tianci issued an order to kill them all.

As the black-clothed officers announced the crime, shouts and curses arose loudly above the city walls, and the crowd became angry. If it were not for the strict military discipline, I am afraid that they would have pounced on the people below and tore them into pieces. The soldiers were fighting desperately on the front line. What they were most afraid of was that someone would stab them in the back. Those who were close to these people would spit on them.

Above the city, the sound of shouting and cursing, as well as the clashing and grinding of swords and guns, had frightened most of the people who were kneeling on the city, except for a few who were still awake. They were so stupid that they didn't even have the strength to cry. Their faces were pale and their bodies were limp. If the soldiers hadn't carried them, they would have collapsed into a ball of mud.

"Cao Tianci, this thing was done by me alone and has nothing to do with my family. You can't kill them. Your Zhengdong Mansion doesn't have a decree on conjoined seats!" An old man with a gray beard suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Kill me , spare my people"

The officer in black sneered: "It is true that Zhengdong Mansion does not have the method of sitting together, but don't forget, this is a battlefield, military law is followed, and wartime regulations are followed. If you gather people and intend to attack the city before they are together, it is a heinous crime. You deserve the crime of genocide."

Quan Mingkang Ditan fell to the ground and roared loudly: "Even if my whole clan is killed by your clan, you will not be able to protect Langya County and you will all die. My whole clan is waiting for you on the Huangquan Road. You will all become "Buried with"

As soon as Quan Mingkang said these words, there were loud shouts and curses on top of the city.

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

Gradually, all the shouts and curses on the top of the city converged into one sentence, three words,

The black-clothed officer raised his hand, and the city became quiet. Looking at Quan Mingkang, the black-clothed officer sneered, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. We won't come to accompany you, but when the time comes, you will see Qi Qi." People will come to you in droves, of course, if you are not sent to the eighteenth level of hell."

He took a step back, pulled out his saber with a choking sound, and glanced at the Qi people who had formed a formation in the distance and were busy preparing siege equipment. The saber fell suddenly and roared: "Execution!"

Hundreds of steel knives were raised and dropped like lightning. Hundreds of them fell to the ground instantly. The executioner dropped the knife and immediately flew up with a kick, kicking the headless corpse in front of him off the city wall.

"Hang their heads on top of the city for public display. This is our gift to the invaders!" the black-clothed officer said loudly

As the steel knife fell, thunderous cheers erupted from the top of the city tower.

Under the city, under the banner of the Qi army's central army, Tian Fucheng stared at this scene with an ugly expression.

"General Tian, ​​what are they doing?" a general next to him asked in a low voice.

"A few years ago, after Ye Tiannan died, my father began to use a lot of money to win over some officials in Langya County who were implicated because of Ye Tiannan. These people can play a role when we manage Langya. Now the city Those who were killed were probably one of them. Huh, these fools, they wasted so much of our gold and silver treasures in vain, and they were found out without exerting any power."

"It's a pity that if they hadn't been found out and they could launch their attack in the city at the most critical moment, our attack would have been twice the result with half the effort!" The generals around him were a little regretful. Attacking a city and fighting hard have always been the most unwise actions. That would bring huge casualties

Tian Fucheng smiled and said: "Looking at the people they killed, they seemed to be from the same family. They only found out one person. Do you think my father only buried this one? Zhengdong Mansion actually started to kill the family as well. This will force other people to follow our path to the end, because Zhengdong Mansion will never forgive them."

"The general is right!"

"Attack the city!" Tian Fucheng said coldly: "When we conquer Langya County, let's praise the people who died on the city wall today!"

With the drums rumbling and flags waving, the Qi army's siege officially kicked off.

At this time, on top of the city tower, Zheng Xiaoyang was looking at Cao Tianci, who was sitting in the corner, and said unbearably: "There is no need to kill those babies." He was a soldier, and Zhengdong Mansion had never practiced clan execution. Punishment, at best, is punishment. The tragic scene on top of the city made him very unaccustomed to it.

Cao Tianci lowered his head and was carefully wiping the three-sided military thorn in his hand with a piece of cloth. There were only two of these in the entire Zhengdong Mansion. Except for the governor Gao Yuan, only Cao Tianci, who was Gao Yuan's direct disciple, had one. After listening to Zheng Xiaoyang's words, Cao Tianci laughed, straightened up, and put the general's thorn into his holster.

"Commander Zheng, do you think Quan Mingkang is the only spy in the city? No, there is definitely more than one. What I want is to alert the enemy. I want to make the spies in the city restless. I want them to take risks. I want them to take risks on their own. "

"After you kill them, do they still dare to take the lead?" Zheng Xiaoyang asked strangely

"Because I will continue to approach them. If people don't know it, unless I do nothing, they will still leave a lot of them. When I approach them, they will panic, and if any one of them Their power is not enough to cause much trouble, so they will gather together. We don’t have time to check one by one, let them gather proactively, and then catch them all in one go, saving time and effort."

"What are you going to do?" Zheng Xiaoyang asked

"This is a secret!" Cao Tianci stood up with a smile, "General Zheng, guard the city, and I will help you eliminate these hidden dangers." (To be continued...)
