Chapter 976 King Zhennan enters the city

"Immediately use horses and pigeons to inform His Highness that the gate of Nanzhao King's City has been breached and the Zhennan King's army has begun to enter the city."

As Qian Ping said these words, several young eunuchs nearby quickly wrote them down, and then sent the troops to Sichuan in three groups, two of which relied on pigeons and one on horses.

In such an environment, three delivery methods are established to ensure that the information is foolproof. Although the carrier pigeon is faster, the possibility of losing the message midway is also greater. Although the human delivery is slower, problems may occur along the way. Wherever, the inns in various places have records, so they use such a complicated method.

In the distance, King Zhennan has come out on horseback. Today is destined to be different from other times. He has entered and exited Nanzhao King City countless times in his life, but this time he will still be very excited, because this time after leading the army in, This Nanzhao Royal City is his.

King Zhennan was riding high on his horse. Many of the surrounding troops had already entered, and the battle on the city wall was coming to an end. When his army entered the city gate, many of the king's soldiers on the wall did not know yet. But when these soldiers saw many troops of King Zhennan coming up the stairs, they knew that the rear had been breached and there was no point in continuing the battle, so they all surrendered.

According to the order of King Zhennan, all the people who surrendered on the city wall were thrown off the city wall. King Zhennan’s daughter and wife were both thrown off the city wall. No one knew who they were at that time. If you can't find the murderer, then all the soldiers on the city wall are responsible, so I'll just throw you all down and pull you down.

Although many people think it is inappropriate, although King Zhennan has now captured the royal city, there is still a part of the army in the palace. We cannot completely capture this place now. We should implement benevolent government and should not treat these The soldiers killed innocent people indiscriminately. After all, they were obeying orders. It was not their original intention to throw people off the city wall.

When these people tried to persuade the King of Zhennan, the King of Zhennan waved his hand and slapped him with a whip. It was not your daughter who was emotionally crushed to death, so you are talking nonsense here.

After the men under his command were beaten, the remaining people fell silent, and they understood what to do. King Zhennan lost his wife and daughter, although these women were not usually on the top of King Zhennan's heart. , but after all, they are all their relatives. Nowadays, it is normal to kill a few soldiers to vent their anger. If anyone stands up and talks nonsense, I am afraid that the whip will hit his face.

We are not related to the soldiers on the city wall, so why should we intercede for these people? There are only eight or nine hundred people. If we don't fight in now, the fighting on the city wall will continue. Maybe these people will also die on the city wall. Now we can give them a place to die.

"After passing the order, all the residents in the city are bandits. The king was not cast at the critical moment, so after all the soldiers entered the city, they were severely punished for not being guarded tonight..."

Just after killing all the soldiers on the city wall, the next order from the King of Zhennan came out, which made his men panic. If there were hundreds of people on the city wall, they could let the prince have his temper. , even if these people are dragged up and thrown down, it doesn't matter, after all, this is the business of hundreds of people.

But if the soldiers are allowed to rob the city tonight, the entire Nanzhao Royal City will suffer. This is home to one-fifth of the entire population of Nanzhao. If the soldiers rob from east to west, I don’t know how many people will die tonight. People, don’t think that the soldiers are just going to rob. If someone resists, can soldiers who have just experienced a big war resist drawing their swords?

Moreover, the prince has already identified these unruly people. They are all bandits, not ordinary people at all. When we were fighting outside the city, these people were helping the damn king. It is very likely that their families The old men also fought on the city wall, and many of our brothers died in their hands. Now the prince asks us to punish them. If we don’t rob their whole family, how can we live up to the prince’s order?

Some generals strongly opposed it, but some generals did not wait for those people to speak, and immediately led their soldiers to start looting. They had been fighting outside the city for several days, and no one knew how many of their men had died. Now is the time to make amends.

Soldiers must be bloody on the battlefield, so they must be able to taste the sweetness after the battle. Next, we have to attack the palace. The guards of the palace are no worse than the city walls. It will be a fierce battle. If the soldiers are not allowed If we relax for a while, who would be willing to accompany you to fight next?

Many generals also understand that after the entire Nanzhao is completed, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be high. This is also what King Zhennan means. When the morale of the soldiers is encouraged to the extreme, King Zhennan will personally lead the people Attack the palace.

When the night darkened, the whole city fell into disaster. The troops coming in from outside the city were like crazy and started robbing every house. Even if the doors of big families were closed, they would use various methods to rob them. The door was kicked open by something. Except for some nobles who were specially cared for by King Zhennan, no one in the remaining family was spared.

At the beginning, it was just robbing some money, but soon it reached the stage of seeking money and killing people. If someone stopped him, he would stab him. If he saw a beautiful young lady in this house, he would have been holding it in for a long time. The soldiers couldn't help it and would immediately drag him to a nearby room and torture him.

Naturally, the men in the city couldn't bear it, and immediately picked up all the weapons they could and fought with the soldiers outside the city. Unfortunately, they were all ordinary people. How could they be opponents of these soldiers?

So I don’t know how many people suffered harm that night. In short, if you walked on the streets of the city that night, you could smell that the whole city was in a kind of blood. When many people got up the next morning , the doors of many houses were open, but there was no sound at all inside. There were several corpses lying around, and the whole family was probably dead.

The people under King Zhennan were also grieved, but they could do nothing to persuade them. If they didn't do this, the morale of the soldiers would not recover so quickly. How could they attack the palace?
