Chapter 163: Washing the City (Part 1)

Wucheng County

With a "boom", a city wall finally shattered, and Wu Bing rushed in like a flood that had been released from the gate.

These days, the town can be said to be doing its best to resist the desperately.

The 80,000 troops of the King of Wu fought for a whole month, especially in order to gain time, the King of Wu sent out even the direct sales.

Now, it's finally time to harvest.

At the gap, the corpses of the enemy were piled up into a small slope at their feet. Blood soaked through the bricks and penetrated directly, gathering into a torrent below. The fireworks in the city rolled in, and the sound of killing was everywhere, and blood gushed.

On the high platform where the soil is piled up, King Wu Wei Yue stood in front of the city, looking silently on the city, and was still resisting fiercely inside.

"Is Jia Jian still unwilling to surrender?" He turned his head to face an official.

"That's right, someone who persuaded surrender went forward, but was shot and killed." The official said, lying on the ground.

"Let the guards kill all the remnants, and the soldiers who entered the city will wash the city for three days!" said the King of Wu calmly.

"Master King?" The official was shocked and raised his head.

The city of Xicheng allows soldiers to burn, kill, rob and rob, which may not be a massacre. However, after washing the city, the remaining half of the people in the city are already amazing.

"Our army lost tens of thousands of dollars under the city. How can we appease the soldiers without washing the city? How can we warn the town?" The King of Wu said coldly.

Time is running out, and I resisted stubbornly to Wucheng County and did not surrender for a long time, and my heart is filled with anger.

However, now the four towns are leveled, and there is still one town. If you add the road and renovation time, it will be settled in at most February.

On the second day, Luotian County

At some point, it became cloudy, raindrops were pouring, and raindrops covered the sky. Suddenly, the room became dark and leaked out of the gap.

Looking at the rain leaking on the roof, Wu Xingzong's tone was filled with some emotion: "It's raining... Go to join the army, maybe you and me will be a captain and general in a few years!"

"General?" Tang Yuan laughed twice and said, "Yes, if you become a general, you can have a large mansion like the county master, raise some slaves and marry two beautiful wives?"

Wu Xingzong laughed out loud and slapped Tang Yuan in the head: "Yes, you and I have become generals, marry a few wives!"

After saying these words, both of them fell silent.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was in the market, but he had long reached the age of being sensible.

In my memory, relatives who died one after another due to fatigue and illness made their eyes empty.

"Brother, do you have a sister?" Both of them fell silent. After a long time, Tang Yuan's voice echoed in the room again.

"Ah, yes, there is also a sister." Wu Xingzong replied casually.

"She has never come back once after she got married?" Tang Yuan recalled hard that he had been with Wu Xingzong in recent years and did not find any relatives of the other party who had come to him, but asked someone to send the package twice.

Wu Xingzong said in a melancholy tone: "I have never come back. My family has little dowry. She has not lived in her husband's house. After her parents passed away, she has not seen her yet!"

"However, two years ago, I knew how hard I lived. The past two years ago, I asked someone to send money and clothes to her twice while my husband didn't know, which made her suffer."

In a small family, being a daughter-in-law and having a mother-in-law in charge of the family is not easy to save some money, and this is a heavy heart.

"Brother, don't be discouraged!" Tang Yuan said, "You have become a general, just go see her."

"Speaking of it..." Wu Xingzong suddenly frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart spread. "My sister's house is in Wucheng County City, and the Wu army is sieging the city. Will it be..."

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the King of Wu appeases the people. In general, he will not ruin ordinary people. There will be no trouble!"

"Well, what you said." I wonder if it was Tang Yuan's words that sootheed his chaotic mood, Wu Xingzong seemed to be more silent next.

Tang Yuan also sat there silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

They only turned over at noon.

"After eating the dry food, just pack it up and leave here." Wu Xingzong said lightly, Tang Yuan nodded, lifted the cloth bag placed beside him and opened it.

The two of them did not dare to eat too much. Each of them ate two pieces of bread, drank some cold water, and put away the bag.

"Dry food is left separately, so when something happens, you can still be prepared." Wu Xingzong suggested while packing his bags.

Tang Yuan heard Wu Xingzong without saying a word, but found a clean piece of cloth and spread it out.

Some dry food was put on cloth pieces, wrapped, and put it in the luggage carried by Wu Xingzong. Tang Yuan put the remaining dry food into his luggage. The two of them carried some of them and took a big gourd. Each of them filled a large gourd with clear water and left it on the road to drink.

The place where they lived was poor, only half a quilt, which was broken and very thin, but they still took it with them.

The rest of the items were even less pitiful. After cleaning up, the two of them stepped out of this dilapidated house that they had lived in for many years.

"Brother, next, let's go directly to Wucheng County City?" Tang Yuan asked.

Wucheng County City is not far from here, just one hundred miles away.

"Well, the army is there, let's try our luck. The Wu army is willing to accept us so as not to continue running around." Wu Xingzong said, "It's also just right to meet my sister."

You know, the Wu army recruited troops in Jinling, which is far away from here. It is not easy for them to walk without money.

Now it only takes a few days to meet Wu Jun, which can save a lot of trouble.

After leaving the street where they lived and entering the main street, the two of them walked much faster.

"Hey, have you heard of it? Something big happened in the county town!" someone was talking.

"I have heard of it, it's really miserable!" Someone responded.

Wu Xingzong paused, turned his head immediately, looked at the source of the sound, and saw someone talking about things in a tea shop.

"Brother, are they talking about Wucheng County City?" Tang Yuan's ears were very sharp, so he naturally listened to those words.

"Let me hear what they are talking about?" Seeing that Wu Xingzong did not continue to move forward, Tang Yuan suggested. Without Tang Yuan's words, Wu Xingzong had already put his attention there.

The group of people were in a hurry to speak, and their voices were not small. Standing aside, the two of them could hear clearly.

"...I want to say that the General Jia of Wucheng County is also a cruel man. When the Wu army attacked the city, tens of thousands of Wu soldiers died. Among the chaos, even one of the generals under the King of Wu's tent was dead. I heard that this general was still the King of Wu's confidant and his official position was not low! Since he was a confidant general, how could the King of Wu not be angry?"

Speaking of this, the man sighed: "But, it's a pity that many of the people in the city have become dead souls under the knife... It's so miserable!"

"How do you know?"

"Hey, it's only a distance away here. There's a murder in front of me, and the news spreads."

Dead souls under the knife... County city!

Wu Xingzong was shocked, and an ominous premonition suddenly emerged.

"Brother?" Tang Yuan noticed Wu Xingzong's abnormality and called out worriedly.

Wu Xingzong turned his face indifferently: "Tang Yuan, stop talking, let's go over!"

As he spoke calmly, Wu Xingzong strode away. Although he was panicked and worried, he was born with joy and anger, but he could not see it on his face.

But Tang Yuan has been brothers for more than ten years. He knew that Wu Xingzong was anxious and did not dare to speak nonsense along the way. He followed him silently.

Before I left the city gate, I heard a lot of things about the battle in Wucheng County.

Almost everyone was talking about the massacre after the city was destroyed. It was very close to Wucheng County City. The news of the murder spread quickly, causing panic among the people.

As for the people who died under the sword of Wu Jun, they were pale and almost suffered the same person.

"I finally left here." After leaving the city gate, the two turned around and looked at the city behind them at the same time.

Wu Xingzong's expression was particularly complicated. After staring for a while, he waved: "Let's go, there will always be the day when you return home in glory."

A few days later, on the way to the county town, two teenagers were rushing to the road.

"Brother, I've been away for a day. Let's take a break. Anyway, I'll definitely arrive at Wucheng County before dark." Tang Yuan opened his mouth several times, and finally couldn't help but persuade him.

"Okay, go ahead and have a rest!" Wu Xingzong pointed to the high slope next to him and said, and after that, he walked up to the high slope first.

When he sat on the ground and felt his legs numb, Wu Xingzong really felt tired. Looking at the direction of the county town, Wu Xingzong's eyes were a little astringent.

"Come on, take a sip!" He handed over with a water hyacinth in one hand.

Wu Xingzong took the water hyacinth, pulled the plug, mouth to mouth, took a few sips, and handed it back. Tang Yuan then took a few sips, stuffed the plug again, and carried it on his back.

"After walking for so long, I finally arrived at the county town." Tang Yuan said, looking at the silent Wu Xingzong, Tang Yuan sighed secretly again.

He naturally knew that Wu Xingzong still cared about his sister who rarely met. Wu Jun really washed the city, but I was afraid that Wu Xingzong's sister's family would be in danger.

"Eat a bun." Tang Yuan handed Wu Xingzong another piece of bun, holding a piece of it himself and chewed it in big mouthfuls.

Wu Xingzong bit the bun in his hand with a small mouth and frowned slightly.

Just as they were about to say something, the sound of horse hooves in the distance made the two stand up.

"Brother, it's a team of cavalry." Tang Yuan said in a low voice.

"It's Wu Jun." Wu Xingzong said with certainty, with a complicated expression emerging on his face.

"Wu Jun? What should we do?" Tang Yuan frowned.

"Retreat to the grass, don't be noticed by them." Wu Xingzong said, pulling him up and quickly retreating into the grass behind him.

After a while, the cavalry passed by their eyes, and there were still a lot of goods on the horse's back!

"Sir, this time the lord's city washing really made us angry!" The cavalry was not fast, just moving slowly, one of them was talking.

After hearing this, one snorted coldly: "How can you be willing to die if you don't kill me if you don't kill me?"

"What I said is that with this military power, when attacking the next city, they are afraid they will go up to celebrate the city!" The voice gradually faded away.

Wu Xingzong and Tang Yuan stood up after they walked away.

"Brother, I'm afraid that the city of Wucheng County will be slaughtered." Tang Yuan said.
Chapter completed!
