Chapter 110 will kill(1/2)
Another tent was built outside the city.
Salem got what he wanted, and a fire burned many people to displace. He had to let them go out of the city first, live in the tent, settle down, wait until the inner city is taken down, then build houses for them, give them some food and daily necessities, and survive the crisis in front of them.
Some people had lost their relatives in the war, thinking that the Tang army rushed into the city, and the restoration of the city of Moufu was just around the corner, and the beautiful prospect suppressed the pain. However, a fire burned them to nothing. No matter how the Tang army persuaded them, they just cried and refused to leave.
Finally, a few local elders who were highly respected and made repeated promises to them - to persuade them to leave.
It has no impact on the overall situation, but can show the cruelty of the enemy and the kindness of the Tang Dynasty. But this happens, it always makes people feel very annoying. In order to appease the people, Li Wei did not hesitate to go out of the city and make some promises to the Persians. Only then did he slowly let the people walk towards their respective tents under the leadership of the soldiers.
Wang Fangyi followed behind and said, "Your Majesty, you are soft-hearted."
"The Protector of the King, what Hushan is difficult for is not attack, but governance. It is just some benevolent and righteous means. The banner of the Ni Nirvana Master is not enough. In the future, there will be religion, people's livelihood, and military sources..." Li Wei suddenly stopped and looked at Wang Fangyi.
"I think Your Majesty can be tougher." Wang Fangyi said vaguely.
"Come here", Li Wei took Wang Fangyi to a small canal not far away. The canal water emitted rippling waves in the sun, and there were still some trees growing on the shore, but the thick trees were cut off by the Tang army and made siege equipment. In the distance were oasis, which were inconsistent with the golden Gobi, yellow and green, very much like the patterns of some Persian carpets.
He found a clean sand and sat down. Looking at the east, Li Wei said: "In the past, I saw the history of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, which was shocking. After the unification of the Sui Dynasty, the cause of Emperor Wen of Sui was suspicious. When we arrived in our dynasty, there was the Xuanwu Gate Incident and then the Prince Yin Rebellion."
When talking about these two incidents, Wang Fangyi dared not speak out.
"Do you see that the army may reach the territory of Mufu City. But as long as the regime is handed over, a civil strife will be wasted the sacrifice and hard work of soldiers. The larger the territory, the easier it is to collapse during civil strife. I am in my prime, but what about twenty years later? The country will enter a vicious circle of bad cycles. So I want to set an example and stop this vicious circle."
"Careful..."
"I know that when I came to the Western Regions, I knew I couldn't be good. In recent years, from Yaozhou to Qinghai, from the Western Regions and Khurashan, I have sacrificed many heroic soldiers around me one after another. Some soldiers can now recall their voices, appearances, and smiles. No matter how soft my heart is, it will become hard after seeing so many deaths. Many things have happened in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and some changes have brought vitality to the Tang Dynasty. There are many efforts in my heart."
"Yes, Your Majesty, and other soldiers often feel that it is not worth it for Your Majesty."
"I will not let some people kill this vitality for their political ambitions, but I have to wait for the wedge. By then, I will not be willing to kill many people."
Wang Fangyi said that he was soft-hearted, not mean that he was soft-hearted towards the Persians. He wanted to say that his repeated concessions made him and some other soldiers in the army feel cowardly and indecisive. But politics is cruel and realistic. Once he fails, as his confidants, they will also be implicated.
He had been considering the transfer of power in the past and wanted to set an example. His mother's wisdom made him afraid. Therefore, he wanted to complete the transfer of power in a peaceful way. However, as his parents attacked again and again, he knew that his attempt had failed. This was why Pei Xingjian's plan was activated.
Not only did the regime fail to hand over his power, but he also had never thought about the distribution of imperial power and prime minister's power in the future. The emperor's power is concentrated, and as long as there is a foolish king, a dynasty may immediately collapse. If it falls into the hands of the prime minister, there will inevitably be powerful ministers. If there are not too many people who want to be Cao Cao, Sima Zhao.
Democracy and the constitutional system of kings were not practical in this era. Either a cabinet system was used to disperse powers like the Ming Dynasty. But in my memory, the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty created a group of shameless literati, making the Ming Dynasty the most powerful dynasty in the internal struggle.
I didn't think of a perfect solution.
However, the pressure from parents and the shadow of history made Li Wei unable to care about the long-term.
Wang Fangyi was worried that he had to express some ideas and firmly up their ideas. Otherwise, it was possible that his mother would use some skills and the second and third Zhang Qianxun would appear. In fact, a Zhang Qianli had already appeared among the generals of Qinghai!
After finally learning about Your Majesty’s thoughts, Wang Fangyi was very happy. He said: “Your Majesty, if you have any place to use me, I am willing to repay you with my life.”
"Get up, if I want to do it, I will do it openly and will not let my subordinates bear the bad reputation." Li Wei smiled and helped him up. Suddenly, he thought of the reaction of his grandfather's generals who had never met before the Xuanwu Gate Incident. It is very likely that it was forced by the generals. They were like Wang Fangyi. If Li Jiancheng succeeded in ascending the throne, they would definitely be implicated, so they forced Li Shimin to take action first.
Salem burned down houses around the inner city, but it brought convenience to the Tang army.
Taking advantage of the situation, he pushed down all the houses around the inner city and built a large camp. Then he continued to build some siege towers. This time, the height of the siege tower was reduced, but the area was reduced. Each siege tower had only one siege machine and a suspension bridge. The area was small, reducing the strike surface and reducing the hit rate of the enemy siege machine.
After three days of attack, both sides suffered damage. However, after three days, more than 300 siege towers were built. Li Wei changed his strategy and turned into a day and night attack, and continued to attack for two days and two nights. After seeing more than 200 siege towers added, he finally ordered the siege tower to approach the inner wall and fight at the top of the city.
He was attacked by a cannibal again.
When people were poor, they thought of change. When Salem was poor, they came up with another solution. The inspiration obtained from the Byzantine Greek fire allowed the craftsmen to invent a spray drum, which was very rough without asking for the craftsmanship... The spraying distance was not far more than fifty steps. Then they used some materials to make the turmeric oil thick. When sprayed onto the baffle, they smashed the baffle with a fire jar and immediately burned it.
The outer city was useless, and the soldiers could escape calmly at a height of more than ten meters. It was not until the Tang army officially launched an attack on the city wall that they took out the secret weapon. The spray of thousands of spray drums, and most of the huge baffles on the front of the siege tower were stained with this thick turbulent oil. Then they smashed it with a fire jar, because it was very close, and there was no need for a catapult. He threw it with his hands directly with his hands. Half of the siege tower ignited a raging fire. Seeing that something was wrong, Li Wei ordered that the siege tower that was not on fire immediately retreated, and the soldiers of the siege tower who were on fire came down from the top of the tower.
There were still many soldiers who were not able to escape and were surrounded by fire and screamed shrillly. Even after escaping, many huge rocks, woods and bows and arrows were smashed down from the city. This attack alone, the casualties reached nearly two thousand soldiers.
However, there are also strategies to resolve the problem. The Tang army made improvements to the siege tower. Because it was very high, the height of the siege tower reached eight floors. Two soldiers were set up on each floor, carrying buckets, and then digging holes to see the fire and pouring them with water. After all, it is facing downward. Even if it is turbulent, it will flow downward after being diluted by water. The fire cannot burn. But this increases the load capacity of the siege tower. Therefore, more wheels must be installed under the siege tower, and more soldiers are required to push it.
Before siege, he kept using water to siege the city tower to make all the wood wet.
While improving the siege tower, people were digging tunnels.
I saw the Tang Dynasty army digging tunnels Salem forced the people of the inner city to dig a deep trench along the corner of the city wall. As long as the tunnel is dug through, soldiers and big knives are prepared on the other side and people are chopped off their heads.
After more than a day of improvement, the tunnel has been dug very deeply.
The siege tower was pushed out again, with drums beating behind and horns commanding.
In the inner city, the Banji Division was talking to Kang Dahuzi: "General Kang, why don't we attack?"
"The opportunity has not arrived, learn to be patient."
"General Kang, many days have passed."
"So how many days have your Majesty passed in the battle of Wuyouhe in the Wuyouhe? But our army has launched an siege, and it is estimated that there is no need to wait for a long time." After saying that, when he heard the sound of the horn, Kang Dahushou stopped talking, listened again, and said, "Banji Division, notify your companions that tomorrow at noon, take the big cannibals to have lunch, and cooperate inside and outside!"
Master Jie responded happily.
This is the biggest backhand left by Li Wei. It cannot be used when attacking the outer city. If it is used at that time, there will be more rebels. However, the outer city is far less difficult than the inner city. Therefore, this rebel army will use some relationships to find ways to sneak into the inner city first. Then use the sound of the horn to command remotely, and let them do things when it is critical. However, it is better to be short than to be overwhelmed. The number of people is not too large, as more information will be easily leaked.
The possibility is not high. The big cannibal becomes a turtle in the jar. At this time, it will be more than worth the loss. But if you are in case of precaution, you will make this order. Don’t be afraid of the few people. As long as you do something, you will cooperate with the outside of the city and the people in the city will actively participate. Even if you think you are small, you will not be too young.
The cannibal narrowed the defense line to the inner city and implemented a curfew, which had to launch the matter at noon.
The city will be launched at noon tomorrow, and outside the city will cooperate and launch a round of crazy attacks. Prevention, the success rate of the Big Cannibal's fire-breathing tactics has been reduced, and some siege towers have been burned. Especially when they lean against the city wall, as long as the soldiers of the siege tower are insufficient to attack and rescue, the Big Cannibal directly poured the baffle with tin oil and burned it after the water is poured. No amount of water can prevent the spread of the fire. The Big Cannibal has invented another instrument, a support bar, which is pulled up with a rope, and a siege hammer, which is very similar to the gun hammer when the Tang Dynasty built water conservancy. Using the heavy siege tower, this instrument was moved to the opposite side of the siege tower and smashed the top soldiers with a siege hammer.
After a fierce battle for most of the day and one night, the next afternoon continued to launch a fierce attack. Both sides suffered serious sacrifices, and the soldiers in the city were also afraid of the Great Food soldiers. After all, if this continues to be consumed, the Tang army outside the city continued to flock, and the number of soldiers who died every day was not as high as the number of Persians who signed up for the army. However, in the battle in the city, one less died in one of them.
Seeing that morale was low, Salem once again brought out a large amount of gold and silver coins from the warehouse and rewarded them to the soldiers. He personally supervised the battle to inspire morale.
He still had a glimmer of hope. Although the Tang Dynasty's weapons were sharp, the inner city walls were tall and he had an absolute advantage. The death toll of the Tang Dynasty's army far exceeded the death toll of his army on that day and night.
As long as you persist for another two or three days, you will be disappointed in the enemy, and the attack will become weaker and the attack will become weaker. Then you can drag it for many days. As long as you drag the reinforcements, the weather will be hot, and the time for counterattack will come.
At noon, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were drilling into the tunnel one by one. Salem ordered the soldiers to lie on the outer wall of the trench and listen, but did not hear any movement. It was terrible that if some soldiers were sent to guard the trench. The city was still fighting, and waves of soldiers climbed the city from the suspension bridge. Salem shouted: "Let's listen, every day, reward two Oreus gold coins, which is equivalent to twenty-five dinar silver coins containing 7.3 grams of pure gold. Kill one Tang soldier and reward five Oreus."
The messenger conveyed his orders.
It is definitely a heavy reward. The two Oreus contains nearly 15 grams of gold. Before Li Wei passed through later generations, it is equivalent to nearly 4,000 yuan. The gold and silver prices in the river and Khorasan are somewhat depreciated, and the real purchasing power will not be that much, but it can also achieve a purchasing power of more than a piece of money.
Hearing this order, the big cannibals on the top of the city battled wildly again.
Li Wei still nodded secretly as a general. Salem did a better job. If he didn't attack suddenly and the other party was not prepared enough, Salem alone could give himself a pot of drink. The counterattack at the city became very fierce, and Li Wei had to order the troops to retreat. The soldiers retreated from the siege tower in a row, using the siege tower to cover it, and watered it while setting aside dozens of steps. Then he was ready to have lunch. Seeing the Tang army having lunch, Salem also ordered the soldiers to have lunch, and it was just enough to take a breath and take a break.
But between Zhangchi, morale also relaxed. At this moment, hundreds of Persians flashed out of the city, holding weapons in their hands and slashing at the big food soldiers under the city wall. While rushing, someone was shouting loudly: "The Tang soldiers have entered the city."
"Hey, are you a Persian? Why don't you help Tang soldiers to kill into the city at this time?"
"The elders in the city show their relatives, expel the food and welcome the prince into the city. At this moment! Take up your weapons and resist."
When Li Wei heard the movement in the city, he immediately ordered all the soldiers to put down their jobs and attack again.
This time, not only attacked, but also ordered all troops to prepare for attack. Groups of soldiers climbed the siege tower, not only the new recruits who participated in Persia, but also the soldiers in the river, the Turks, the Tocharians, and the fierce soldiers of the Tang Dynasty brought by Li Wei.
The fierce attack made the enemy on the city shaking, and it also led to the inability to disperse more soldiers to suppress the people's initiation. In particular, many soldiers in the middle of Dashi were local soldiers from Moufu City, and they could know each other with these rebels who were invading. Some soldiers couldn't help but flash back when they saw the rebels coming. Li Wei deliberately fought for many days, consuming Dashi's troops in the inner city. At this time, the attack was launched at the same time inside and outside the city, and the source of troops in Salem was even more tight.
Seeing that the rebels were not defeated, they were beaten with great enthusiasm. Many people also rushed out of their homes, picked up sticks and axes, and joined the rebels.
Li Wei stood in the tower car and watched, asking the messenger to pass a command, and let the cavalry behind him rush into the city shout: "Surrender and don't kill you, let you go home."
This sentence was enough to play the role of 50,000 elite soldiers in several battles. Hearing several shouts, many Persian puppet troops hesitated. At this moment, another change occurred on the city wall. Kang Dahuzi used some connections to stuff some rebels into the Great Food and Puppet Army. Some also served as some low-level officers, with a small number of people, only a few dozen. Some were also on the city wall. Seeing that the situation on the city wall became favorable, they suddenly distributed weapons and launched an attack on the Great Food and Piaget Army.
This incident made many great cannibals unexpected, and those puppet troops unexpectedly did not know what happened. Some puppet troops saw that the inner city was gradually losing support, so they also learned to pluck up weapons and counterattack the great cannibals. They wanted to make meritorious service and reduce their future crimes.
Originally, it was no longer supported. With this incident, the city was soon occupied by the Tang army. Some generals and their subordinates approached the city gate, killed the enemies on both sides of the city walls, and protected the army. Some rushed down the city walls and forced them to join the rebels to strengthen the strength of resistance in the city.
Li Wei saw it very clearly and shouted again: "Beat the drum."
Thousands of drums urged each other. Amid the sound of the drums, several enemies at the city gates were gradually annihilated, and the Tang army collided with the rebels one after another. They immediately took over the command and led them to pounce towards the city gate, snatched the city gate and opened it.
One hour later, except for a few Persian puppet troops, all other Persian puppet troops either fled or wisely joined the rebels. Some enemies were resisting, but like waves, they were quickly destroyed one by one.
The city gate was opened, and Wang Fangyi, Luo Wuqian, Guo Yuanzhen, Li Jinxing and other generals led the cavalry into the city. Salem committed suicide due to his defeat and committed suicide. All the enemies in the city were shot dead or captured alive. After the sacrifice of more than 15,000 soldiers, the city was taken down.
Li Wei met several rebel leaders, all of whom were descendants of the former Persian nobles or nobles, and asked a question: "Our army's weapons are sharper than the enemy, our army's number is several times that of the enemy, and our army has also won the hearts of the people, including the people in the city, and they are all cooperating with our army. They have mastered various intelligence in advance and prepared sufficiently. And your internal and external cooperation, but they have attacked for so many days and sacrificed more than 10,000 soldiers. If you did not take the initiative to surrender to the Dashi and Dashi attack, can you conquer it?"
Several leaders lowered their heads in shame. There were many reasons for the loss of Khurashan and Moufu area, but the indifference of the nobles at that time was also a key point, which made Dashi take down the entire Khurashan with almost no bloodshed.
This sentence made them reflect and said, "But it doesn't matter. In the future, I will send generals to teach you Persians to fight and defend the city. Let the food stop thinking about the desolation of the Huluo - inch of land."
When I heard the translator finish the last sentence, several leaders danced. Isn’t it for this day?
Li Wei said again: "I have recorded your credit. I will give you some rewards, but specific rewards and entrusted positions. I will wait until your prince arrives at the city of Moufu. What do you think?" replied.
Just to show respect, even if the Ni Ni Niikaku arrives at the City of Moufu, he is just a puppet. However, Li Wei did return the rights to him so that he can escape from Khorasan. But within one or two years, the Ni Niikaku will continue to mobilize troops and generals to resist the counterattack of the cannibals. Only after laying the foundation is the time to completely escape. Furthermore, promote Chinese and Confucianism to promote the Chinese and Confucian people to sinicize Khorasan and Sestan. If it can be occupied in the future, it will be better if it cannot be occupied, and it will also become the western gate of the Tang Dynasty. However, Persia cannot be severely dragged down the country.
In addition to the nobles who surrendered to the Great Food, these people did have a high prestige among the civilians, and asked them to assist with some elders to settle the people and build the houses burned by Salem again.
A small number of garrisons were left behind and Li Jinxing was ordered to lead his army south to the city of Nisa. Li Wei and Wang Fangyi stayed in the city of Mufu. After settling the people, he organized a provisional government to let them judge some of the surrenders in the city.
There is also a religious problem, which is also a very serious problem. Dashi ruled for a long time, and many people converted to Islam.
Li Wei did not participate, but he said some suggestions in a tactful way to let them influence them with gentle means. It really doesn't work. Try coexisting and can believe in Islam, but it cannot help cannibalize people and harm their own country.
After hearing this, more than a dozen people also did this. However, it is hard to say whether they will continue to maintain it in the future. Western religions are very troublesome and many doctrines are very fanatical, so Li Wei did not allow the Tang Dynasty people to interfere in any religious affairs and let them solve them themselves.
This is the counting of the property.
Persia itself has a property that is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but it is located at the throat of the Silk Road, so it is very rich.
It turned out that Rome and Persia had many years of wars, which was also because of this reason. The silk porcelain from the East and the gems and spices from India had to be transported from Persia to Byzantium. The Persians did not need any effort, but they only collected taxes and made great profits. Some of Rome were produced, but after being shipped to Persia, they were often 100% taxed. The Romans felt jealous. Therefore, wars broke out again and again between the two countries.
As a transportation fortress on the Silk Road, the capital of Khorasan. Persia was established for hundreds of years, but not as good as Taixifeng, and also accumulated huge wealth. Most of these wealth was in the hands of Persian nobles and merchants. After a long period of time of suppression, the Great Heroes moved to the pseudo-noble and pseudo-bureaucrats and pseudo-bureaucrats who betrayed Persia and surrendered to the Dashi. Some of them were brought back to the Dashi land. However, as Khorasan stabilized, some of the nobles of Dashi moved here to settle down, and then plundered a large amount of wealth from the river, and most of these wealth was left in the Moufu.
From the total amount, the current Mofu and the previous Dashi entered the Mofu City before, the total amount of wealth did not decrease much.
This is also the main reason why Li Wei set the target of the attack on Mufu City. In order to liberation the west of Lingling, many soldiers, weapons and materials were brought from the country, and these losses were only obtained from Mufu City.
To be continued...
