If not for the fact that His Royal Highness Zuo Wang was present, even the captains would have wanted to kneel down.
Calling wind and rain is the power of gods!
This is simply not something that ordinary people can do!
To be honest, His Highness Zuo Wang was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
How to fight this?
Can you still fight happily?
I sent out the heavy armored infantry, and you gave me a heavy downpour. Not only did the heavy armored infantry sink in, but even the musketeers were completely soaked. Let alone firing, it was difficult to even relight the matchlock.
But at this juncture, if the soldiers are forced to attack the Taoist temple, someone might mutiny.
After hesitating for a moment, King Zuo immediately ordered the gold to be withdrawn.
The heavy armored infantrymen who were stuck in the mud watched helplessly as their comrades withdrew their troops, while they themselves were stuck here unable to move. They felt so sad that they almost shed tears.
Fortunately, King Zuo did not forget them. After nightfall, he took advantage of the darkness and sent a team of soldiers over to dig them out of the ground.
At this time, King Zuo also thought about sending troops to attack the Taoist temple.
However, considering that it was dark after dark, and the soldiers under his command were still in panic due to what happened during the day, King Zuo was worried about directly blowing up the camp, so he had no choice but to give up this plan.
On the Three Emperors Temple side, Fang Xiaoyue also took advantage of the night to send out strong men in yellow robes to harvest all the rice planted.
No way, these rice plants planted outside are his weakness.
If King Zuo thought of him and burned him with a fire, although the other party Xiaoyue would not be harmed, he would have to vomit three mouthfuls of blood just thinking about it.
Fang Xiaoyue has never felt so aggrieved.
After one night, King Zuo got up and was shocked to find that all the surrounding farmland had been harvested.
What's going on?
King Zuo immediately called for people to inquire.
The school lieutenant in charge of the night sentry immediately reported that it was people from Sanhuangguan who harvested the rice during the night.
As for why the arrest was not prevented, it was not because the sentry below was worried about causing an accident.
Who can bear to be buried in the mud like heavy armored infantry, and when they are dug out, they are already dying?
King Zuo ordered a force of a thousand men to besiege the Taoist temple this morning.
Well, this is tentative. After all, judging from the momentum of the Taoist temple yesterday, I might not have enough energy today.
The ability to control wind and rain may not be able to be used a second time in a short period of time.
At the same time, he also sent the awakened vanguard general to attack Donglin County.
After capturing Donglin County, Zuo Wang's army had a stronghold in this area, so that they would not be easily cut off from their retreat. They could advance to attack and retreat to defend.
In addition, more than ten partial armies with more than 10,000 people were separated and went to attack various counties in Huangshui Prefecture.
Huangshui Mansion was besieged by an army of 30,000 people.
Finally, an army of 50,000 people was sent to ambush at the junction of Huangshui Mansion and the provincial capital of Liujiang Province, and came to a encirclement point for reinforcements.
As for Zuo Wang, he only brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and still besieged Sanhuangguan to death.
It has to be said that this Zuo Wang is so thoughtful that it makes people feel chilling.
Even though he was fighting with these three emperors, he did not forget the main purpose of conquering the city.
In fact, Donglin County can be said to be defeated in one attack.
No way, this area has been at peace for a long time. Not to mention the government officials in the county, just the soldiers in the inspection department. They can be used to deal with the common people. When they go into battle, they encounter the wolves and tigers of the Kingdom of God on earth. Soldier, that's a dish.
As for the strong men who were called up and trained for a few days, they were just ordinary people.
When they were driven to defend the city wall, when they saw the enemy troops coming towards them, they were all so frightened that their legs became weak, and they had no fighting power left.
On the siege side was the most elite vanguard battalion under King Zuo, equipped with war horses, vests, riding bows, spears, etc. It could be said that they were fully armed.
Even when attacking a city, they dismounted, and their combat effectiveness was no less than that of the most elite infantry!
Therefore, at the beginning, the defenders of Donglin County were okay. More than 20 archers from the Inspection Department shot down a wave of arrows. The young defenders of the city also threw dozens of stones, killing and injuring them. There are more than ten people in the Pioneer Battalion.
But this is already considered the most outstanding achievement in the battle to defend the city.
Afterwards, the Pioneer Battalion took advantage of the darkness to scale the wall and kill more than a dozen soldiers from the Inspection Department. The remaining defenders, Qingzhuang, immediately collapsed.
One by one, crying for their fathers and mothers, they turned around and fled down the city wall.
By the time Cui Zhixian, who was in charge of the county government, heard the news, the Pioneer Battalion had already entered the city. The Pioneer General Qian Pingwu had led hundreds of his bodyguards to rush to the county government to kill the county government. The rest of the Pioneer Battalion cavalry also rushed to other places. City gates, blocking road junctions, seizing granaries, and bringing the entire Donglin County under control.
Cui Zhixian originally planned to die for his country.
After all, the Qinglong Kingdom punished officials who lost their land very severely.
It ranges from being exiled for three thousand miles to being confiscated and beheaded.
Of course, if the officials who lost their land persisted until the last moment and perished with the city, then not only would they be exempted from all culpability, but they would also be greatly rewarded by the court, and even their descendants would benefit.
According to this logic, and based on the moral concepts of people of this era, Magistrate Cui knew that he would definitely die.
If he doesn't die, it will have a very bad impact on the entire family.
But the problem is, when Cui Zhixian tied the white towel on the roof beam and was about to stretch his head to solve the problem, he found that he couldn't stretch his head!
My whole body is protesting!
I can’t die!
When Cui Zhixian was hesitant, Qian Pingwu kicked open the locked door and pulled Cui Zhixian off the bench.
When Cui Zhixian saw that he had fallen into the enemy's hands, he immediately relaxed.
It's not that I don't want to commit suicide, but the enemy comes too quickly!
After such comfort, Cui Zhixian's remaining trace of self-moral condemnation disappeared without a trace.
Capture Donglin County and capture the county magistrate with your own hands.
This made Qian Pingwu's sense of humiliation at Sanhuangguan disappear.
Qian Pingwu felt even more happy when he learned that even the chief registrar, county lieutenant, teaching edict and even inspection officials had been caught in one sweep.
You know, in this era officials still had loyalty to the court.
Previously, King Zuo's army came all the way and destroyed dozens of cities. Only a few officials could be captured alive. Most of them were officials like Dian Shi who didn't even have official grades.
Even if an official like this is caught, there will be no sense of achievement for King Zuo.
As for high-ranking officials, they basically committed suicide when the city was destroyed.
No way, no matter how fast the cavalry is, there is still time for the officials of the Qinglong Kingdom to commit suicide.
News of the destruction of Donglin County quickly reached King Zuo.
At this time, King Zuo was in depression.
He had sent thousands of troops several times before to try various methods to break into the Taoist temple, but all failed.
