Chapter 74

As Sun Wu attacked the city step by step day by day, the soldiers in Wuduzhong were almost numb from the torture.

In the barracks, the drums started to cheer again, and rows of soldiers lined up in square formations, holding large shields and slowly moving towards the city wall.

The soldiers were protecting the sharp weapons for siege, such as ladders and battering rams, and began to move towards the city walls and gates. Their figures were like tides.

Thanks to Sun Wu's command and more cautious tactics, although the Qingji Army failed to take Wudu in one go, the casualties were not large, so the morale of the soldiers was very high.

With all the siege equipment in place, He Lu felt that the momentum of the Qingji army seemed to be very different today, as if they were coming out in full force, wanting to fight down.

Under Sun Wu's command, the Qingji army rushed towards the city wall round after round according to the previously rehearsed formation.

The previously built slope was full of archers, and they were shooting at the archers on Wudu. Even because of the extremely high pile of soil, these archers of the Qingji army still had the advantage, and they were able to shoot against the city wall of Wudu. The archers caused no small casualties.

Sun Wu's previous strategy of forcing Helu to self-disruption has achieved great success. These days, Helu has carried out large-scale killings of wealthy households and nobles in the city as an example, and almost every day the rich families are shattered.

Finally, after the Qingji army's offensive intensified, the unbearable people in the city launched a rebellion, and the entire Wuduzhong temporarily lost order under the leadership of these people.

Hearing the chaos in the city, Sun Wu laughed loudly and said: "Prince, you have succeeded. The inside should be combined with the outside, and Wudu will be broken today!"

If you can take Wudu with minimal casualties, you will be able to deal with Yue and Chu with all your strength.

After a while, the chaos in the city gradually spread to the city wall, and Sun Wu ordered all the soldiers to shout into the city at the same time, "People of Wu, He Lu is a traitor who kills the king.

I swear in the name of heaven, Prince Qingji is willing to forgive your mistakes, as long as you put down your weapons and surrender, everyone will forget the past. "

These words continued to be repeated loudly, and at the same time, Sun Wu completely let go of his hands and feet and let the soldiers attack. This was the first time that the Qingji Army sent almost all the elite.

The appearance of the elite made it difficult for the soldiers in the capital of Wu to resist. Under the multiple effects, some of the soldiers who were ordinary farmers dropped their weapons and wanted to escape.

"Dang!"

As the first person dropped the weapon in his hand, it seemed that the fear in people's hearts had been opened, and in an instant, only the sound of throwing away swords, shields and arrows could be heard.

He Lu was like falling into an ice cellar, and the sun shone on him, but he felt the bitter cold. He waved his sharp sword, looked mad, and shouted loudly: "Who threw down the weapon, I will kill you, and I will kill you!" The whole family."

Most of the defenders are Chinese nationals who were forcibly recruited by Helu. After these two months of high-handed rule, these people have long since lost their will to fight.

Now He Lu was waving his sharp sword like crazy, he roared: "Gou Jian, this lowly villain, he deceived the widow!"

Then he turned his head and saw Dr. Bi Dan beside him, his eyes flashed red wildly.

Dr. Bi Dan felt bad when he heard Helu scolding Goujian angrily, and seeing Helu staring at him, the souls of the dead froze, but it was too late. Unwillingly sent to the underworld.

Seeing that He Lu went crazy and killed Dr. Bi Dan, the other soldiers and ordinary people immediately ran away. Even the supervising team killed several people in a row, but it didn't stop these trends.

People's hearts are the key to the outcome of all wars. Now that Wu Duzhong's people's hearts are scattered, those wealthy businessmen who had previously caused mutiny immediately commanded their slaves to open the city gate to welcome Qingji into the city.

Helu's confidant saw the bad news and had no chance to run out of the city, so he could only take Helu to the palace. The entire palace was burned, leaving nothing for Qingji.

As the crumbling city gate that had experienced countless impacts since the beginning of the war was completely pushed open, Qingji laughed loudly, holding Sun Wu's arm with one hand and saying: "Chang Qing, the country of Wu is ours now!
You and my ambition finally have a place to display. "

Sun Wu was also very excited. Wu State is a powerful country in the southeast, with elite soldiers, and it has been able to hold a stalemate with such a big country as Chu State for a hundred years.

The monarch is commensurate with his brother, and he trusts him in every possible way, which is quite the same as Qi Huangong treated Guan Zhong in the past. This is the paradise for him to make contributions.

"My lord! Let's go to the city!"

Qingji and Sun Wu sat on the same chariot. Qingji was holding a spear in his hand and was wearing three layers of heavy armor. Sun Wu was sitting in the shooting position. The chariot rolled up a cloud of dust. Follow him to the city.

After two months of war, the city of Wu is no longer the prosperous scene that Qingji once imagined, but rather dilapidated, especially near the city wall, where countless potholes were smashed by catapults, making the roads turbulent. Potholes.

Many corpses were planted directly from the city wall, unrecognizable, messy weapons were discarded at will, and soldiers killed directly by the supervising team. What angered Qingji the most was that at the corner not far from the city wall, There are many dull women in a thatched hut.

These days, all the important tasks in Wudu are to defend against Qingji's attack. In order to ensure the loyalty of the guards to him, Helu often destroys some rich households and wipes out their clans. There are also countless Chinese people who are always worried about being dragged to the city wall. Seeing death, although their clothes are intact, their expressions are dull, and their eyes are full of fear.

Qing Ji, especially when he was in the Luo Kingdom, was deeply influenced by how Luo Yan treated the Luo people kindly.

Facing the hell on earth in Wuduzhong, he roared angrily: "He Lu is really a lone husband like Jie and Zhou!
He is the official of the state of Wu, where did he come from for the rich clothes and fine food he was born with?

Wasn't it offered to him by these Chinese people?

Even if these people don't want to be ruled by him, they shouldn't be treated so cruelly.

Now he perishes in my hands, this is God punishing him. "

Sun Wu is a master of war, and he understands the cruelty of war best. He is not Wu people who do not understand Qingji's grief, so he can only comfort him dryly: "Prince, you have the virtue of benevolence and righteousness, so the heavens let you rule the country of Wu. This is Wu people. lucky.

Now it is time to ascend the throne as soon as possible, appease the people in Wudu, and restore the national power loss caused by the war. "

Qingji's army entered the city, and the soldiers shouted loudly: "Prince Qingji has arrived! Prince Qingji has arrived!"

Qingji's reputation is still very useful. With the loud shouts of the soldiers, the city gradually recovered a little vitality, and everyone rushed directly to the palace. Before the palace gate, there were many corpses entangled. Qingji entered the city first. The soldiers fought with Helu's personal guards guarding the palace gate.

These personal guards were diehard Helu loyalists who knew that even if they surrendered, they would not be forgiven by Qingji, so the fight was brutal, with corpses strewn all the way from the front of the palace gate all the way inward.

However, Qingji's army entered the city too quickly. After He Lu fled into the palace, he did not have time to lock the palace gate. As a result, he was smashed open by the battering ram, and the army rushed in. .

After Qingji appeared here, the soldiers of Qingji's army were still holding up large shields, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and making amends to the corpses on the ground.

The formerly prosperous palace was full of blood and corpses, and the eunuchs of Gong'e fled everywhere, and many of them were old people that Qingji could remember. It seems that after He Lu ascended the throne, there was no large-scale cleaning of the palace.

There are many female family members in the palace. If this is not an infighting, these female family members have probably suffered disaster.

Qingji didn't have time to take care of these people. Now he wanted to preserve the important books, treasures, and geographical maps of mountains and rivers in the palace.

As the army rushed into the palace, they chased and killed Helu's guards all the way, and finally forced Helu into a palace.

Since Qing Ji hadn't received the order to live or die, he surrounded him temporarily, and it was impossible for He Lu to escape anyway.

When Qing Ji and Sun Wu came to the army, they saw He Lu stubbornly resisting, and then looked at the surrounding palaces, which turned out to be Wu's treasury and warehouse. They immediately understood what He Lu wanted to do, and immediately shouted: " Immediately rush to kill the palace, regardless of life or death, capture and kill Helu!"

……

When Helu ruled Wu, the officials could not bear to think about it, the soldiers could not bear to think about changes, and the people of the country complained and wanted to be chased. This is the rule of the country.

Celebrating the taboo is the main thing, giving generosity to the officials, righteousness and benefits to the soldiers, and benevolence and forgiveness to the people of the country. This is the king of a prosperous country. ——"Historical Records Wuhou Qingji Family"
