Chapter 2490: living hell

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" When seeing countless insurgent soldiers rushing into the city frantically, the guard general at the pass looked incredulous.

Although, when he knew that the city was surrounded by many rebel soldiers, the defending general was also very worried. After all, he immediately sought support from the court, but in his heart, although the rebels had many soldiers, their combat effectiveness was not good. High, they are all mud legs, and they have not received any training. In terms of individual quality, the army under his own surpasses those of the soldiers of the insurrection army.

In addition, this is a pass after all. Although many of the city defenses have been destroyed, there are still some that can be used. Although the defending general feels that although Chu Yu is inferior in terms of numbers, he depends on the city wall. If you are defensive, you can still hold on for a period of time. At that time, it will not be impossible to guard until the arrival of reinforcements.

However, the facts were not what he thought. He didn't expect that the city had only held on for most of the day. The soldiers of the rebel army began to attack the city when the sun was just rising, after lunch. , Actually broke through the city and entered, this speed is too fast, approaching this defending general, there is not the slightest preparation.

At this time, the defending general was still in the city lord’s mansion, giving his generals their own defensive tasks. As a result, when there was a subordinate, he panicked and rushed in with blood to tell him that the city was broken. Up.

At that time, the defending general thought he had auditory hallucinations, so he didn't believe what he heard. It was only when he and his generals walked out of the city lord mansion that they saw the uprising on the far street. The soldiers had already killed them with murderous aura, and there was a flurry of jumps along the way.

"General, go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave." A general persuaded.

"General, we can leave the green hills without worrying about firewood. We will withdraw from here first, and then we will find a chance to fight back."

"Yeah, General, hurry up, those rebels are about to be killed."

The generals persuaded that at this time, who would still think about the defensive mission that was set before, the enemy has already entered, and the missions set up before are useless. The most important thing now is to escape first. This is the most important thing. important.

"It's impossible. How could they break in so quickly? It's impossible." The defending general didn't seem to hear the words of his generals. He still stared blankly at the insurgent soldiers getting closer and closer. They.

Those middle-level generals, seeing this situation, took a look at each other, and after that, let a personal soldier of the defending general directly carry the other party, and then everyone fled in the other direction together.

There is no worries about leaving the green hills without firewood. Well, that's it. He and others are only a temporary retreat, not an escape. Only if you keep a useful body, you will be able to do more later.

The escape of these defending generals became the last straw that overwhelmed the defenders in the city. They were still resisting. At this time, they all gave up resistance and kneeled to surrender. Those who were beaten by Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu in less than a day.

Regarding this situation, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu were also a little surprised.

Both of them knew the situation of their team. Many of them were drawn to be used as head weapons. They didn't have any fighting capacity. Of course, they wouldn't let these people rush to the forefront. In that case, these people simply They don't have much strength. They must die a large number of them. Moreover, if they can't take down the city, these people will die in vain. After they die, the number of people on their side will be fewer, and the weapons will be fewer.

Therefore, when attacking the city, they put the elite soldiers in their respective teams at the forefront, and used them to attack the city. In this way, losses can also be reduced.

Originally, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu thought that they would encounter fierce resistance. After all, this time was different from the last time. Last time they had the element of a surprise attack. The other party did not have much preparation, so they pushed forward. The speed was so fast that he could easily rush to the head of the city, but in the end he was driven down by the opponent.

But this time, both Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu are ready to fight hard. After all, this is a siege with fanfare. There is no way to make a surprise attack. Without the suddenness, the defenders in the city must have done it early. In this way, the resistance they encountered was definitely much stronger than before. In the end, even if the city was attacked, some people would be injured and killed, and it would take several days.

However, the facts turned out to be beyond the expectations of Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu. They actually used two charges and reached the city in less than a day. This was faster than the previous time. Originally, they I thought that they had entered the city so easily while waiting for someone, so they were still very careful about any ambush or other tricks.

However, when they entered the city, they discovered that the resistance encountered here was actually smaller than the city’s head. Seeing them coming, the defenders and generals actually ran faster than one. They simply Without encountering any decent resistance, he completely controlled the city and became its new master.

Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu were surprised by this situation. Later, after thinking about it, the two people understood what was going on.

The defenders in this city are no longer the same as the previous one. Before, there were sent-off teams from the Imperial Capital, especially those from the Imperial Forest. They helped defend the city together. The city’s defense strength was naturally strong, and they could not beat them by others. It is also normal.

But now, the team that sent the family off has left. Only some ordinary soldiers who were assigned here are guarding here. Moreover, due to time, there are not many defenders here, and the large troops have not yet arrived. Some of the new city guards were not delivered. Besides, these soldiers came from the hinterland and had no combat experience.

These factors were added together, and it was directly caused by the inability of these soldiers to defend the city. In addition, their defending generals did not have much actual combat experience before, and they had no experience in defending the city. In terms of tactics, There are also problems.

Adding so many problems together directly led to the fact that the guarding power of this city was very weak, and it was broken through by the elites of Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu.

And the generals who defended the city did not have the belief in coexisting and perishing with the city. When they saw that the city was forced to die, the first thing that came to mind was not to fight to the death, but to take the lead in fleeing. Their behavior directly led to the defense of the city Great defeat.

These defenders have no idea of ​​resistance. Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu will naturally not let go of this opportunity. On the one hand, they will send people to continue to hunt down the generals and soldiers, but on the other hand they will be arrogant in the city. Search for property.

Wang Cheng, Shi Dafu and others were originally the rebel army. This is their own name. The name from the court is the rebel army. Therefore, they cannot be too benevolent and righteous, and they usually rob those merchants. , Now that they have managed to lay down a city, how could they miss the opportunity to search for property?

In the entire pass, there was a chaos. There were shouts of killing and screams everywhere, like **** on earth. It was not much better than before the wind and the country entered the city. Some soldiers did too much. Yes, killing people, insulting some women, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu should have not seen the same. If they don't give their men some benefits, how can they willingly help themselves?

Moreover, it was not his own person who died, and it was not his own woman who was being bullied, so why did he care so much.

Therefore, in this pass, those residents who have just moved in are miserable. Almost no one can escape this difficulty. The main reason is that Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu came in too fast, the residents in this city, and those Like the defending generals, they thought that the city wall could withstand the soldiers of the insurgents for a few days, but they did not expect that they would be breached without supporting it for a day. The residents of the city had no time to escape, and they all suffered. A bad hand.

It is still a trivial matter to lose money. Some people lost their lives in this chaos. The defenders in the city were gone, and they did not uphold justice for them. They could only be slaughtered.

And those merchants who did not leave with the family-sending team before were also unlucky. Originally, these few merchants who did not leave with the family-sending team felt that it would be more dangerous to leave with the family-sending team, so I decided Stay in the city for a period of time, and it will not be too late for them to leave the city again when things outside the pass have subsided.

These people originally thought that there are horse thieves outside the pass, and some soldiers from other countries are posing as horse thieves, and on the other side of the pass, there are rebels. In this way, only hiding in the pass is the safest After all, there are city walls and defenders here, so it is safer than in the wild.

However, these people did not expect that this place is also unsafe, even more dangerous than the wild. The city walls are unreliable, and the defenders in the city are also unreliable. They collapsed after a fight, and even the defenders fled directly. , Regardless of the safety of those who stayed in the city, leaving them to the insurgents.

Soldiers of the insurrection army, seeing them is like a wolf seeing meat. These people are all merchants with money and goods. This kind of goal is their favorite, so there is no nonsense at all. , To rob them all, the slightest resistance is a fat beating, and the more serious is to directly kill the matter.

For those businessmen, it was truly a disaster.
