The first thing that impressed Liu Bang was light.
After staying underground for a long time, the light on the ground was so dazzling that it was hard to open one's eyes... It would be enough to come out of the troop transport tunnel and gradually get used to the process, but he didn't do that.
He asked Li Bao to blow a hole directly and come out.
That's why the light comes so violently and makes people feel dazzling.
Then, there was the pungent smell of blood, endless cries, and... fragments of corpses that were blown into pieces.
Needless to say, everyone knew that many people had died here. When the dust cleared, with Yang Yizhong's support, he stood in Bozhou City.
And under the ground, there were a steady stream of imperial guards from the Liangya Imperial City, plus Wang De's personal soldiers who were waiting at Laojun Temple and coming from here... In an instant, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty Jiang Jian occupied a territory of his own in Bozhou.
Looking at the corpses all over the place, although I don’t know the exact number of them, I know that there are a lot of them.
This group of Song soldiers are like gods descending to earth... Although they came out of the ground, the effect is exactly the same as gods descending to earth.
It not only made these old people of Zuo Hujun a little stunned, but also made the people all over the city, especially those who were ready to die, a little stunned.
Yes, the Song Army invaded.
Just for a moment, the people who came back to their senses all started to move... But the difference was that some people who didn't know why, and those who were close to the city gate, ran towards the city gate, which was the direction of Li Qiong. .
Some of the people who had witnessed everything with their own eyes and were about to become the dead souls of the sword ran towards the Song Army. The Song Army, who was usually scolded by them as worthless and used to show their loyalty, now became their The only way to survive is the direction of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Liu Bang.
"This...thief Li really deserves to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Everyone is used to seeing dead people, and they have even taken many lives under their own hands, but honestly speaking, most of the people killed are not innocent people.
How is the killing method of today, regardless of age or gender, any different from that of the Jin people?
And this is the massacre of the city. The massacre of the city will not care how old you are. You can't survive two lives with one knife.
The people of Bozhou looked like they had seen a savior. At this time, the military commander, the military commander, shouted shortly. Seeing that the Song army did not stop them, they hid behind these people and then let out a long sigh of relief. Before he could rejoice for the rest of his life, he fell into great sadness.
The human heart is always made of flesh, not to mention family members. They are also acquaintances who have talked and interacted with each other in daily life. Yin and yang are separated in the blink of an eye. Even if they are really made of mud, they will inevitably be touched.
Liu Bang knelt down and gently lifted the arm of a female corpse. Under her was a baby who was constantly vomiting blood... At this time, the baby couldn't even cry. When he opened his mouth, he started to bleed. It was so tragic that Liu Zhan, a local, immediately became red-eyed.
"Why did it become like this?!"
The emperor looked at the child and let him tremble in his hands. It wasn't until the child completely lost his strength, no more blood spurted out of his mouth, and no breath left, that he finally lifted himself up. head.
Looking at the man opposite who was wearing a hat-shaped helmet and a suit of vermilion lacquered mountain pattern armor, dressed exactly like a general from the Kingdom of Jin, he said:
"Did you move your hands?"
He spoke so quietly that Pan Yi couldn't hear him clearly at first, and the man looked very familiar, so he didn't know who he was, until more than 30,000 people from two yamen and one department repeated the emperor's words in unison:
"Did you move your hands?"
These four words were shouted so loudly that the whole city of Bozhou trembled.
Pan Yi ignored him, held the handle of his knife with both hands, and assumed an offensive posture to show his attitude.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"Show the flag."
As soon as the banner of the Grand Marshal of the Army and the ancestor of the Jin people came out, everyone knew that they were the direct troops of the emperor. Since the Battle of Yingzhou, this name has spread all over the country. If nothing else, at least there are many words. This story is clearly recorded.
"The former Huaixi Zuohu Army Headquarters was deceived by traitors and fled north on the eighth day of August in the seventh year of Shaoxing. It has been four years and four months now... You are all sons of the Han family. Now I have appointed the King of the Song Dynasty to Come on, I can’t bear to see brothers and sisters killing each other, causing pain to my loved ones and happiness to my enemies, so why don’t you put down your weapons and turn from darkness to light?”
"Anyone who surrenders at this time, I will let go of the past. If you insist on going your own way...the emperor's law is the emperor's sword!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers all became his mouthpiece. This voice was heard clearly by everyone, but that was not important.
What's important is that the man wearing armor and a helmet with a sinister face calls himself 'I'.
There was only one person in the Song Dynasty who had such qualifications, and that was the emperor.
Yes, the emperor himself got out of the troop transportation road and ran to the city himself.
Li Qiong's hands were trembling slightly. He never expected that he would see the emperor again here, under such a scene.
The pressure on the South City Gate increased sharply. While looking at the defenders outside, they also had to keep an eye on the Song Army in the city. If the Song Army attacking the city had not failed to try their best, the city gate would have been breached long ago.
"marshal……"
Ma Li was also very surprised... How could these people get in touch with the emperor? After serving as a soldier in the Song Dynasty for so long, it was only today that I got a glimpse of the true face of the Zhao Guan family.
After all, this was also their previous lord, their king, and unlike the gold master, this one was the emperor of the Han people.
To say that he was not touched would be a lie.
But compared to the emperor's words, these old generals of the Zuohu Army were obviously on Li Qiong's side. It's not that they didn't have ideas, but in comparison, Li Qiong gave more.
Not much, just a little more respect and an environment without civilian intervention.
But this is exactly what Song Dynasty cannot provide.
Ma Li looked at Li Qiong. If it was a surrender, Zhao Guan's family had already given him a chance. If it was a war, Zhao Guan's family was in the city now and would fight the whole city to capture him. Then...
Li Qiong was a little excited for the first time. He supported the city wall and said his arrangement with some trembling:
"No, don't fight with Zhao Guan's family... Deal with the troubles in the city first, deal with the troubles in the city first!"
Ma Li got the order, but he didn't expect...
The group of people who escaped from Pan Yi's hands confirmed that they had colluded with the Song Army. So, Li Qiong was not lying to them.
Now that I heard that the emperor was here again, I was a little bold and immediately made up my mind:
"The one who leads the race should join me in the charge, so that we can cooperate with Marshal Li in taking action!"
"The women will stay, and the men will come and help!"
"The Southern Dynasties have come to occupy our territory. If you don't resist now, you're not a damn good man!"
Their behavior was exactly the same as those who lost their lives in Chengfu.
This was beyond Li Qiong's expectation.
He wanted to kill these people, but these people were grateful for his kindness and wanted to fight against the Song army.
He had tried it before. The Zhao Guan family was unwilling to massacre the city. Otherwise, he would not have spent so much effort to do this.
But the more they behaved like this, the more Li Qiong's heart sank.
Because he knows that the fence-sitters can still be saved, but these people who are determined to regard the Kingdom of Jin as a country without a motherland are hopeless.
Seeing them waving poles and wooden sticks, a hundred people could not muster a knife, but they still rushed towards the Song army fearlessly with a burst of energy.
Hitting an egg against a stone is what they say.
Liu Bang's eyes narrowed slightly... He wasn't squinting, it was just that it allowed him to see more clearly. Of course he didn't know what these people were thinking, he just regarded them as people who were inspired by Li Qiong. .
Take action?
he asked himself.
