Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The New Army, the South Chang'an Camp, and the Dongshui Camp were arrayed under the county seat of Lang County and would attack the city at any time. At this time, Su Zhe, the leader of the Sanqing Sect, appeared on the top of the North City. Liu Yu wanted to prevent mistaken identity.  , after careful identification, it was undoubtedly Su Zhe, and it seemed that the leader of the Three Purities Sect was doing well.  Although he is no longer the prince or the king of Chu, he is the supreme leader of the Three Purities Sect, with a large group of fans under his command, and even more worship by the followers of the Three Purities Sect.  Wearing a green-yellow robe and a wide square hat on his head, this appearance looks a bit flashy, but it also looks like the attire of an emperor on the stage, or a Taoist priest, but his clothes are much brighter than the Taoist robes.  Originally, the Three Puritan Sect was a hybrid religion that fused Western religions with Chinese Buddhism, Taoism, etc. As the leader of the Three Puritan Sect, Su Zhe wore such a nondescript outfit that "mixed the East and the West" to give the followers a visual impression.  The impact is relatively large, and it is easy for people to associate him with gods.  Liu Yu understood that Su Zhe's adventurous appearance this time was nominally to be with the parishioners and advance and retreat in sync, but in reality he was here to supervise the battle and boost the morale of the parishioners to fight against the imperial army.  As soon as Su Zhe showed up, the members of the Three Puritans on the city wall were really like chicken blood. They were all ready to fight against the imperial army. Even though they knew that staying would lead to death, the leaders of the holy religion were all there, and they suddenly felt that they  life is insignificant.  Liu Yu noticed that the garrison in the city suddenly dispersed from their formation to being fully prepared for battle. He couldn't help but look at Su Zhegao in his heart. A phoenix with fallen feathers was not as good as a chicken. Su Zhe acted like a chicken's head and even used some tricks to make him surrender.  The chickens fight the weasels.  "Don't overestimate your own capabilities!" Liu Yu shouted coldly, the key point now.  Just quickly attack the small county town of Lang County, capture Su Zhe alive, and then kill him with one knife.  Then he will have peace of mind in his future life.  "If someone is born in trouble and dies in happiness, is it better to kill him or to lock him up and torture him slowly?" There is no reason.  Liu Yu himself became entangled first.  At this time, the preparations of the three armies have been completed. The soldiers from the three armies have been arrayed after preparation, forming the central army, the front army and the left and right armies, and they are fighting with cold weapons.  Especially for regular sieges or field encounters, the strategy of forming a formation first and then sending out troops is basically followed. Once there are loopholes in the formation, it is a trivial matter to kill or injure a few people, but it is feared that it will cause a chain reaction, causing the army to be distracted and unable to fight again.  After all, it is a cold weapon battlefield.  Only a small number of people in the front line can come into contact with the enemy and ourselves who can kill each other. Once something goes wrong in the front line, even a small disadvantage will affect the confidence of most of the soldiers behind.  In this siege, the imperial army actually did not have as many soldiers as the religious people in the city. The number of soldiers attacking the city was only more than 10,000, while the number of religious people gathered in the city was 30,000 or 40,000.  Although in terms of numbers, the religious people in the city have an advantage, after all, they are just ordinary people, including men, women, old and young, and there are many who brought their families. Their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the regular army of the imperial court, not to mention the fact that Liu Yu has brought  Among the troops, there are also elites from the new army such as the Huo Bing Division.  "In terms of the height and thickness of the city wall, Jiankang City, the capital of Huaidi, is dozens of times stronger than the county seat of Langxian County, which does not even have city towers.  Liu Yu could not think of any reason that could prevent him from leading troops to attack the city.  Unless Su Zhe really has some magical skills, those so-called "miracles" will have little effect on a battlefield with real swords and guns, unless it is an extreme improvement in weapons and tactics.  The improvements cannot be applied to ordinary parishioners.  It was already mid-morning, and the imperial court¡¯s preparations for the siege had been completed.  Liu Yu gave an order, and the battle flags at all levels began to wave. The imperial army launched an siege from the east, west, and north directions of Lang County at the same time. Because Lang County is a small county under the emperor's feet after all, Liu Yu appeared to be "very good" in the siege.  Mercy", instead of opening the way with the earthen cannons that had been effective in siegeing the city before.  But even if there are no weapons of mass destruction, there are still guns and arrows as the vanguard, and the momentum is still like a rainbow.  The war drums resounded throughout the surrounding areas of Lang County. Even the members of the Sanqing Sect who had just been encouraged to fear death felt frightened by this sound.  After all, the battlefield is not a child's play. Even if it is blessed by the leader, the most it can be is to be reincarnated as a good person in the next life, or to enter the "heaven" preached by the holy religion to take refuge, but those are illusory things. Do they exist in such a life-and-death situation?  At all times, they are inevitably doubtful.  No matter how devout a believer is, he will still be afraid of death.  This is a common characteristic of human beings, and it cannot be achieved by just a little paralysis of the heart.  Especially after they see the death of their companions.  The infantry attacked the city. There was no cavalry for the time being. Under the escort of shields, the army pressed under the city wall, and sporadic arrows were shot from the city wall. Because the religious people lacked weapons, they did not have any regular weapons to defend.  The city, but the previous method of throwing stones and debris, and even throwing at the people in the city, had no effect in such a massive siege.  ??The imperial army has both long-range attack muskets and inexhaustible arrows in return. It is difficult to gain an advantage.  Because the vanguard of the siege was dominated by the new army, there were a large number of muskets behind the shields. Liu Yu also tried his best to let the soldiers use muskets to intimidate the ordinary people in the city and shoot arrows at them. Instead, he sent weapons to the people to let them  There are arrows to resist.  The bullets disappeared without a trace, and the parishioners defending the city had no way of using them.  Liu Yu has been staring at the place where Su Zhe appeared on the city wall. After he appeared and the court began to attack the city, he avoided to the back and did not appear again.  Liu Yu knew that Su Zhe would not stay on the city wall waiting to be used as a target. Before the battle began, Liu Yu's plan to ask Huo Bing to recruit some good marksmen to unexpectedly rush forward and kill Su Zhe did not work.  .  After the war started, Liu Yu became increasingly unsure of the purpose of Su Zhe's appearance. If it was to supervise the war, he should stay on the front line instead of escaping quickly.  Liu Yu even felt that demonstrating to him was the real purpose of Su Zhe's appearance.  "Don't let him get away." Liu Yu was not on the front line on the battlefield, but instead sat in the middle of the Chinese army.  He couldn't help but sigh. This was such a good opportunity. If Su Zhe escaped, it would take some trouble to catch Su Zhe later.  The imperial army's attack on the city went smoothly. After being baptized by the imperial army's bullets and arrows, no one on the city wall dared to show their head. It was a small county town without a moat or a city tower. The subsequent heavy soldiers carried rolling logs up.  , the city gate was knocked open in just a few blows, and then the cavalry and infantry entered the county town. The rest was very simple, almost a massacre.  "You can't surrender!" Liu Yu gave the last order before returning to the Chinese army's tent to wait for news.
