At the foot of Genze City, the eldest prince Zhou Xiao was leading the way, with the long sword in his hand like stars, unable to defeat any enemy.
Countless Zhou soldiers followed closely behind, stepping through the dilapidated and collapsed city gate and marching straight in.
Tie Chen stood on top of the city wall and threw the city lord's head into the fire.
In this battle, Tie Chen was very depressed. Although he successfully completed the task and opened the city gate, he also made a branch line to capture the city lord here.
It's just that this branch line made Tie Chen depressed for a long time. He clearly surrounded the city lord's palace and captured the city lord alive. This Ying thief, who looked like a little kid, was actually emboldened. He held an old lady with one arm and babbled in Ying language. He said something crookedly.
It wasn't until I chopped off the thief's head and asked other people that I learned that this guy said he was something appointed by Amaterasu, and that he would become famous all over the world, and that everyone in the world would know his name. , as if he was not invulnerable.
This made Tie Chen feel no sense of accomplishment. The city lord changed to Da Zhou, not to mention a magistrate. There must be a magistrate. As a result, there were not many people around him who could fight, so he hardly resisted at all.
This means that in the future, the credit book will not record how many people Tie Chen fought and how many times he fought in life and death to achieve such great achievements. Instead, it will be said that Tie Chen led people to the city lord's palace. The enemy did not resist, and was chopped down like melons and vegetables. All of them were chopped to the ground, and it would be the same no matter who it was.
Two quarters of an hour, two quarters of an hour at most, from the time the city is broken to when all Zhou soldiers have entered the city, two quarters of an hour at most.
Han You, who was riding a horse, was heavily guarded. He really didn't expect Tie Chen to be so efficient in doing things. He couldn't coordinate his actions inside and outside, and Genze City was vulnerable to a single blow.
In fact, Genze City is not vulnerable. Even if the city lord is a loser and a waste, at least the city is not that vulnerable. However, Old Master Duan Qianfeng has found the weak points of the city, and Han You has too many capable people around him. The people were strangers, which was why Genze City was destroyed so easily.
"Kill them all."
Han You gently uttered two words, which decided the fate of this city.
In a sea of blood, there is only an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood.
For the past, the present, and the future, "kill them all" is the only solution.
In just the blink of an eye, the whole city turned into a hell of Shura. The Han family members who were killed by Zhou, even if they were not from the East China Sea, had stayed in the East China Sea for so long. What the Japanese thieves did in the Three Roads of the East China Sea had already made them miserable. Furious, this anger will not subside even a little bit with the passage of time.
The three princes, Fu Yuxiang, Tang Qingfeng, and all their friends unswervingly carried out the iron order from Han You, the de facto supreme commander - to kill them all.
There are no innocent Japanese thieves. If anyone feels guilty, you can go and tell the people of the Three East China Sea Roads, the mothers who have lost less than a month old, and the people who have lost their fathers and mothers who are sixty or seventy years old. Said the husbands of women whose wives were humiliated to death in broad daylight.
The wind is crazy today, perfect for setting fires.
It's dark today, and it's best to massacre the city.
Han You did not stay longer in Genze City. Those who were originally alive will soon die, and those who die will rot on this cursed land. He needs to go to the east of the city to understand the terrain. The things inside the city will be left to Tang Qingfeng. Just wait for someone.
At dawn, the friends had gathered outside the east gate of Genze City.
Han You's expression was a little heavy, and his friends and old friends were silent.
A lot of tongues were caught, the map became more detailed, and the information on Yingdao's situation became more detailed.
That's what war is like, especially when you're fighting alone in a foreign country. Plans can never keep up with changes.
If everyone drives straight to the central imperial city of Yingdao, they will encounter more obstacles, and the whole army will be annihilated if they make a mistake. Instead of this, it is better to divide the troops into multiple routes, support the war with war, and let the war rage in Yingdao. There are many places on the island.
This does not mean that we should not attack the imperial city, but that we have to rely on the coast of some areas. Only when we have enough troops will we march straight in. If we don't have enough troops, it will depend on whether the imperial court and the East China Sea can come over in time to support us.
Han You didn't like the plan proposed by Tang Qingfeng, but everyone including him knew that if he wanted to achieve Han You's strategic purpose at this stage, he could only do this.
"Brothers, I'm going to say goodbye. I don't know..."
Han You was choked up and didn't know how to continue speaking.
Everyone laughed, extremely free and easy, and their thousands of words finally turned into kneeling on one knee and performing a military salute.
Han You quickly dismounted and straightened his clothes in return.
No one had any complaints. Even the three princes had to lead their own way, let alone others, and the same was true for Han You.
The difference is that Han You's lone army has the largest number of people, as many as 8,000.
There is no guarantee of safety when there are many people, and they have to take the main road. Once they are chased and intercepted, they can only fight and retreat.
"If I die in battle, my colleagues will go home on my behalf and take care of my wife, children, and children. If my colleagues die in battle, I will go home on behalf of my brothers and take care of your wife, children, and children."
Han You finally said a complete sentence with tears in his eyes.
Feng Bai drew his bow and pulled the string, and shot a gunpowder arrow at the top of the city. There was a loud bang, and the huge rocks were erected to tightly block the city gate.
After blocking the pursuers of the Japanese pirate ship army on the inland river for several days, it also blocked everyone's retreat.
Only Han You said this sentence and a half, saying goodbye and reluctant to leave. The others just smiled, wild, restrained, proud, arrogant, all kinds of smiles.
With such smiles, the friends mounted their horses one by one, waved flags, and went to all directions.
In this farewell, I don’t know how many people have returned, and I don’t know how many people have buried their loyal bones in a foreign land.
…
In the middle of the capital, in the palace, Taiqian Hall.
The old man on the dragon chair, the civil and military officials beside him, there are many of them, no one left behind. In the huge Taiqian Palace, you can hear the silent needle drop.
The old man on the dragon chair turned pale, frighteningly white, pale and pale.
The generals gritted their teeth tightly, as if the air had frozen and they couldn't breathe.
The civil servants lowered their heads and wanted to sigh, but did not dare to make any sound.
In the main hall, a cavalryman with a flag on his back was kneeling on one knee, trembling. He was afraid that he would be torn into pieces by the emperor and his ministers.
After a heart-stopping silence for a long time, Lao Ba suddenly stood up and cried out: "It's absolutely true, it's absolutely true that Han You took people on board the ship to Yingdao?!"
The cavalryman raised his head and carefully looked at the emperor's pale face: "Yes, the boat master, Zhu Yingjian, and three young men, a total of 21,700 people, boarded the ship and went to Yingdao. When the ship came back, it was said that it was Great victory, Western naval forces..."
A figure suddenly jumped out. Zhao Tai's eyes were splitting as he grasped the collar of the cavalryman tightly: "You just said that there are only three warships left, and even these three warships are docked on the coast for warning. Rather than bringing Han You and Xiao Hai back?"
"Yes, the three warships are located twelve miles away from the Western Marine Corps Camp in Yingdao. Once they run out of gunpowder arrows, they will return to the Tongcheng Marine Corps Camp for supplies."
Zhao Tai let go of his hand and wavered: "This is taking death, taking death, this is... this is not planning to come back alive."
Wen Wu suddenly realized something and was shocked: "Your Majesty, the three princes are also following..."
"If the child dies, it can be reborn!"
Lao Ba pushed Wen Wu away and growled: "Think about it. Now, I am just thinking about how to recall Han You. If I can't think of it, no one can leave the Taiqian Palace!"
"Your Majesty, veteran..."
Zhou Zhenghuai, who seemed to be sleepy every day, walked out and sighed: "I have a way to recall Han Jianzheng, but this way..."
"explain!"
Lao Ba was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Say it, tell it quickly."
"Your Majesty, you know that in Han Jianzheng's heart, there is nothing more important in this world than him eradicating the Japanese thieves."
"Is it more important than killing Japanese thieves?" Lao Ba was stunned for a moment: "Zhou Aiqing refers to Han You's relatives?"
Zhou Zhenghuai: "It's Your Majesty."
"I?"
Lao Ba, who had a panic-stricken look on his face just now, suddenly became happy, a little shy, a little shy: "That's true."
"If we send a clipper to Yingdao to catch up with Han Jianzheng, and say that Your Majesty... that His Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, I'm afraid..."
No matter how Der Zhou Zhenghuai said, he would never be able to speak so straightforwardly, as long as the meaning was conveyed properly.
"good!"
Lao Ba made a prompt decision: "Send someone to take a fast boat to Yingdao and inform Han You that I am about to die. After asking several princes in the fiefdom, they rushed to the capital. There was already chaos in the capital. After learning the news, Han You must I'll be back as soon as possible."
In the civil and military circles of the court, no one stood up and pointed at Lao Ba. Instead of accusing Lao Ba of being too childish, they felt that Lao Ba was very courageous.
Han You can die, but he must not die on Yingdao. This is the consensus.
The civil and military officials felt like they were in the clear mirror. Once something happened to Han You, the consequences would be disastrous. First of all, he knew the formula of gunpowder, so he would die in battle. If he was captured alive, once the Japanese thieves learned the formula of gunpowder, the consequences could be imagined. Know.
Even if he died in battle and was not captured alive, with Lao Ba's personality, he would definitely go to Yingdao to take revenge and conquer personally.
If it had been a year ago, a year and a half ago, everyone would not have agreed and would have objected to it.
It's different now. Now that Lao Ba has ascended the throne, he suddenly sees that the Zhou Dynasty has really settled down.
The South Pass is safe, and the Southland is safe.
Xi Di is still loyal, and the whole line of Prince Yan's family is loyal to the emperor.
Several aristocratic families in the North have been almost eliminated. Ma Rulong left Beijing some time ago and went to the North. After leaving Beiguan, countless tribes outside the Pass wanted to surrender.
Besides, the East China Sea was the most troublesome thing for the court. There was a major change in the local government, and the boat masters became the boat masters of the Zhou Dynasty.
In this case, no one can stop Lao Ba's imperial convoy, and he is as cunning as Lao Ba. If he goes to the East China Sea, he will definitely bring many civil servants and generals with him to prevent anyone from having evil intentions after he leaves the capital.
In any case, when they learned that Han You had gone to Yingdao, different people had different reactions. The most worrying ones were, besides Lao Ba, Lao Han.
If Lao Ba relies on his brains, then Lao Han relies on his fists to let Goguryeo and other three people see what the iron fist of justice from the Great Zhou Dynasty is!
