Plop...Plop... Guo Shao's heart had not stopped from extreme excitement.
The battle between Deng Fei's troops in front continued, and the follow-up troops were advancing along the bloody road.
Guo Shao felt that the horse's hooves on his mount were a little slippery, which was not exaggerated. The blood on the street was really flowing, as if it was raining.
The surface of the irregular stone slabs inlaid is smoothed, and the dry blood flows heavily on the stone slabs, and the horse's hooves will slip if they are not careful.
The blood gathered in the gap between the stone slabs, the color became darker, revealing terrifying lines... just like cracks on the earth.
The bodies in many places have been stacked together!The smell of blood on the street makes people sick, like a slaughterhouse.
This is not the first time Guo Shao has experienced a battle formation, nor has he seen a corpse, but the dense conflicts in the streets and alleys are affected by the terrain, and the corpses are very concentrated and look very terrifying.
He listened with his ears, screams and begging for mercy drifted in the air, and humans were enduring extreme situations.
China almost never guards the depths and streets and alleys. The most important thing is to guard the walls, so there are few street battles... This is also the reason why Khitan soldiers were easily deceived after breaking the door in the defense battle in Wuqi Town, Hedong last year... Guo Shao murmured in a low voice, his heart could not calm down, as if he could only clean up his thoughts.
He immediately ordered his personal soldiers: Go to the north to find Li Chuyun and attack the east gate!He ordered Yang Biao's troops to penetrate the west gate from the city!After leaving the city, he ordered Wang Zhang's troops to open the south gate and rushed straight from the central avenue in the city, and then attacked the west gate!
Guo Shao issued a series of orders, focusing on seizing the three walls (the water gate is on the north side) to dismantle the Tang army's resistance as soon as possible.
The on-site messenger actually had a big loophole. He only took a small flag and had no evidence. Guo Shao had no chance to write it in person for a while, and many generals could not tell who wrote it.
However, in such a chaotic and urgent situation, Tang Jun seemed to have no chance to use tricks.
The Zhou army's large group of troops rushed to the south gate along the horizontal street. Guo Shaoce immediately looked forward and saw that there were still a group of Tang soldiers fighting to the death inside the city gate and on the city wall. They were surrounded by Zhou army infantry and cavalry.
The iron hooves were trampled on, and the gun was slashed by the bayonet, and the scene was very tragic.
In this area, the Tang army suffered more than half of the casualties, but they were still fighting to death.
Guo Shao was very surprised. I remember that some people said that the classical army was about to collapse if it was killed or killed, but the Tang army at the south gate had at least 50% casualties, and had no chance of winning. The air was filled with arrows shot by the Zhou army.
The Tang soldiers were slaughtered without any resistance.
Some people kept shouting: Put down your weapons and avoid death!Supreat!
But the Tang army screamed and roared in despair, and did not surrender or collapse.A general of the Tang army shouted: Ning dies in battle!Repay Mr. Liu’s kindness!
The desperate shouts resounded throughout Shouzhou, and Guo Shao couldn't help but be respectful to the army.
Who doesn’t cherish life, and who is not afraid of death?
When a person or even a group of people can reach the point where Mencius said sacrificing one's life for righteousness, then he must be sincere!
Guo Shao looked up and suddenly saw a tall old man with white hair standing on the city tower, lamenting in the wind.Is he Liu Renzhan?
Mr. Liu!Guo Shao shouted loudly, the situation is over, why bother to let the soldiers die in vain!Why not keep a little bit of elegance and accept failure?
The old man looked at it in the voice and shouted: Who is under the city?
The Great Zhou army recruited Guo Shao, the chief general of this battle.Guo Shao said.
Hahaha... Liu Renzhan laughed wildly.
Guo Shao stopped talking and waited quietly. Liu Renzhan would surrender and give him some time to find his reason.
Sure enough, after a while, Liu Renzhan shouted: Brothers, put down his weapons!Please accept a bow from Liu, Liu is sorry to you... After saying that, he bowed to the city for a long time.
Looking back, a general first dropped his weapons and knelt down at the city. Then there was a ding-kneeling sound, and countless weapons were thrown down.
Guo Shao immediately gave a salute to Liu Renzhan who was bowing.
Marshal Guo... Liu Renzhan said, I have a request not to massacre unarmed soldiers who have surrendered, and not to massacre innocent people in Shouzhou.If you can agree, I would rather kneel down and apologize!I am willing to lead the Liu family’s father and son to apologize for death!
Liu Gong, it is common for military affairs to win and lose on the battlefield.As the victor, I still respect you very much...I promise your request!God Guo Shao said.
But not slaughtering the city does not mean not collecting money and sharing the spoils. Guo Shao heard that whenever he breaks through a strong city, he will slaughter troops to vent hatred and murderous aura. Can the treasury of the Shouzhou government and the wealth of the households make up for the emotions of the soldiers?
Since he agreed to Liu Renzhan, he didn't know if he could do it.
He immediately shouted to the surrounding Zhou army with emotion: Whether it is the people of "China" or the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Tang Kingdom, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang.We fight here in bloody battles, to rule the world, to end the war, and to stop the endless civil war from continuing.Killing is not for massacre, but for saving the people...
Marshal Guo!Liu Renzhan was slightly excited and said, "The scenery on the city tower is magnificent and beautiful, why not go to the city to talk about it?"
good!Guo Shao answered loudly.The soldiers of the surrounding generals advised: Lord... let him come down and accept surrender.
Guo Shao shook his head: Liu Renzhan disdains to do such despicable things.Come with me.
Liu Renzhan said a few words to the people next to him, and then several people went down from the city wall. Liu Renzhan shouted: I will send someone to inform the sects to stop resisting, I hope Marshal Guo can keep his promise in public.
Guo Shao did not answer, put the sword at the sheath hole, and then rushed forward, surrounded by the generals and soldiers and walked towards the stone steps inside the city wall.
The two sides were filled with Southern Tang soldiers. They were still resisting the fight, but now they all looked at Guo Shao in awe.
Walking up to the city, I saw a scattered Zhou army soldiers rushing towards the south gate outside the city, which was indeed magnificent!
Tens of thousands of Zhou army were running outside the city, as if the whole world was full of people, and Shouzhou City was just a ship in the vast ocean.
The shouts are shaking the earth and the mountains are shaking, and the clouds are resounding.
I have seen you, but I didn’t expect to be so young... Liu Renzhan calmly faced the crowd outside the city and turned around and said to Guo Shao.
Guo Shao smiled and said: I have also met Mr. Liu, it seems that it has been twice, at the West Gate and the South Gate once, and you also want to shoot me with a bed crossbow.
Haha... Liu Renzhan laughed loudly, almost bursting into tears.
Guo Shao said: If you killed me at that time, Shouzhou would be able to maintain food and grass until it was exhausted.However, I don't feel like I've really defeated you...
Liu Renzhan was slightly surprised: It is unnecessary for Coach Guo to be so humble when he is young.He looked at the gap in the city wall on the left, as if he understood what Guo Shao was referring to.
Liu Renzhan shook his head and sighed again, staring at the land of Huainan for a long time.
I am not someone who can’t afford to lose, I’m quite convinced.If I could be prepared in advance, you wouldn't be able to attack this gap even if it exploded...
No one could have expected this thing to be released for the first time.Guo Shao told the truth.
Liu Renzhan sighed: No.After all, I underestimated the enemy too much and made a big mistake!You dig tunnels outside the city and blatantly build mountains. What is obviously useless practice, so why do you do it again... It's just a feint to cover up your eyes and distract yourself.I was fooled and despised you because of this.I have lived for most of my life, but I make mistakes here... I despise my opponent means despising myself.
He also said: The Zhou army is strong, how could a person without any ability be the chief general of more than 100,000 people? How could he be appointed as a recruit by the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty?well!It's too late to regret!
If I could be a little less negligent, even if I didn’t know that you would blow up the city, I could guess your feint and numb our army’s intentions. I would definitely be prepared for it. Then the city defense deployment would not be like this now, and the victory or defeat was unknown!
Guo Shao smiled and said: Mr. Liu is still dissatisfied.
Liu Renzhan said: What is the use of hindsight?
Guo Shao said: No matter what, I can't let you go.If you are let go, the Southern Tang Kingdom will definitely prolong your life, and the Battle of Huainan will also have more difficult battles.It's meaningless, Mr. Liu!The unification of the world is the general trend and the way of heaven.The countries of the Great Zhou Dynasty were the strongest, and they should take on the mission of this general trend. The sooner the countries were destroyed and unified the world, the more people could be saved from war and that more women and children could not lose their husbands, sons, and fathers.Mr. Liu is very wise and understands the truth. Don’t you understand this?
well!Liu Renzhan sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, "I understand, I don't plan to live a life."But everyone is their own master... I have been deeply grateful to the emperor and have enjoyed glory and wealth for many years, so I should apologize for my death.
After saying that, he suddenly drew out his sword and said loudly: I will not lose if I am defeated by Mr. Guo!
Mr. Liu!Guo Shao couldn't save him, so he hurriedly shouted, "The lord is about to die, where are the personal soldiers?"
The personal soldiers next to Liu Renzhan had already stepped forward and hugged his arm, some of them protecting his neck.Guo Shao rushed forward and grabbed Liu Renzhan's sword.
Liu Renzhan frowned and said: Why don’t you let me die?I will not surrender. I will thank the emperor for his gratitude and the soldiers and people of Shouzhou will die as much as possible!
Living is harder than dying.Guo Shao watched him. The real warrior was facing a difficult situation, rather than escaping and dying.I respect Mr. Liu as a hero, why should I die based on my desire?
It's useless to say more.Liu Renzhang said.
Guo Shao pestered and said: Not every Zhou army general treats the people of Huainan like me. Liu Gong said he wanted to ask for the soldiers and civilians of Huainan. Maybe you can do something for people while you are alive.But now I just let go and ignore it. Wouldn’t it be a quarrel?
Don't inspire me!Liu Renzhan said, "I'm a little trick."After saying that, Liu Renzhan was stunned, remembering that he had said this before the war.
Guo Shao said: Wait for a while and think about it before calming down?If a person is determined to die, no one can stop him.
There seemed to be a stage on the city wall, and several people were there in front of everyone, and they seemed to be performing a drama.
The battle between Deng Fei's troops in front continued, and the follow-up troops were advancing along the bloody road.
Guo Shao felt that the horse's hooves on his mount were a little slippery, which was not exaggerated. The blood on the street was really flowing, as if it was raining.
