General Xiao He was struck to death!
Du Ruofu showed no mercy. He immediately shouted, "Why don't you surrender immediately? Put down your weapons and open the city gates."
"Your great general is dead!"
"Even your deputy general, Shangguan Yan, left with a large number of troops."
"Why do you have to stay here? What's the point? It's better to surrender as soon as possible!"
However, his words did not have any effect at all. Many of those who stayed behind shouted, determined to fight to the death, and every possible death would be a victory!
They couldn't care less. The general was already dead, and the huge hatred had made their minds unclear.
"Brothers, the general died to protect us!"
"We want to avenge the general, and we also want to buy time for our brothers. If we can kill as many people as possible, we must die a worthy death!"
"kill!"
The people remaining on the city wall shouted loudly, but we didn't care about that. Our blood was boiling, and we would show no mercy even if it meant killing someone at the cost of injury.
As more and more soldiers died, the number of people on the city walls dwindled.
In this way, after about half an hour, the city gate was finally breached, and all the soldiers on the city wall finally fell down.
The entire city wall was engulfed in flames and filled with smoke.
The corpses had piled up into a small hill at this moment, and everywhere were the soldiers' severed heads, or their broken arms and bodies.
With the breach of Qianjian Pass, the first line of defense between the Great Zhou and the Huns was also opened.
Then when the time comes, they can march straight in.
This battle was the decisive one, and it was absolutely true.
On Du Ruofu's side, the Xiongnu army also suffered casualties.
It seemed that they had won the battle, but in fact, the casualties seemed to be even heavier than those of the Great Zhou. This was mainly because when Du Ruofu started fighting, he didn't care about the consequences!
With so many consequences, he just wanted to win and had no other thoughts.
If it were someone else, there would definitely not be so many people willing to support such a tactic, but the person in front of him was the capital and the prime minister of a country.
In addition, even the Barbarian King trusted him so much, so how could the other soldiers and generals dare to object? Not even the tribal leaders dared to object.
In this way, Qianjian Pass was breached and the Huns directly entered the border city.
As for Shangguan Yan, he led his men away in a hurry.
He led the remaining 60 to 70 percent of his troops and quickly fled from here!
He knew that if he lost the battle today, things would become extremely difficult for him.
And this time, it may be his turn to take charge, and he must be allowed to grow up.
Shangguan Yan felt a little painful when she thought of this.
General Xiao He died at the hands of the enemy in order to save himself and the remaining soldiers, and died at the hands of that old villain Du Ruofu.
What should I do...
"Don't worry, General. I will definitely avenge you. I will definitely defend the other cities and will not let you down."
Shangguan Yan wiped away her tears and said with some pain.
Although the two had a hostile and competitive relationship before, especially Xiao He, he did not have a good relationship with his father.
After spending some time together, he also felt that General Xiao He was a very good person. At least General Xiao He was very decisive when fighting.
He also cares about the people under his command.
General Xiao He was not as narrow-minded as imagined, nor was he so eager to strive for fame and fortune.
Perhaps this was the reason why General Xiao He had such a competitive interest relationship with his father.
It's all because of the influence of the civil servants in the court.
Inside Qianjian Pass.
The Hun army marched straight in and naturally captured many soldiers. After entering the city, they began to rob and kill without restraint.
Killing ordinary people directly is worse than that of beasts.
Du Ruofu was actually a Han Chinese. After seeing and hearing the truth of the matter, he was extremely surprised. He never expected that the soldiers under his command could do such a shameless thing.
This is absolutely not allowed.
Du Ruofu quickly found Helan Meng and angrily scolded him, "Control your own soldiers. After entering the city, you actually attacked the civilians."
"They can rob money and treasures, but they can't steal food. Otherwise, how will these people survive? Tell me."
"Also, you are capable of killing these ordinary people and forcibly abducting their daughters!"
Hearing this, Helan Meng also looked very surprised, and he was quite confused.
"Master Prime Minister, I think this should be nothing. After all, they are not the people of our Barbarian Country."
"The soldiers can kill whatever they want and do whatever they want. This can also increase their fighting spirit, right?"
Du Ruofu suddenly became angry, "How dare you talk back?"
"I have said that you are not allowed to kill ordinary people. That is not allowed. Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be beheaded immediately."
"This..." Helan took a quick look and was really confused. You know, when they invaded the south before, they always attacked these ordinary people, and this has become commonplace.
Now they are asked not to be too cruel to these people.
"Because the bodies on the city walls, as well as the bodies of our own people, were all piled up and burned."
"Why?"
Du Ruofu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Don't you know that if these corpses are piled up and not burned and buried quickly, a plague will break out, which will make my army weaker and weaker?"
Helan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't think this is necessary."
"This plague won't reach us. We'll only be here for a day or two before we leave. By then, the plague will surely have an impact on the people at the border."
Du Ruofu took a deep breath. These people were truly so vulgar. Did they have to do such shameless and immoral things?
"This is the order of this Prime Minister!"
"None of you can violate it."
"Order the bodies to be burned outside the city!"
"yes."
Helan Meng looked at them in confusion and had to agree. He was mainly confused as to why the Prime Minister was so nice to these Han people.
Shouldn't these Han people be allowed to die as many times as possible?
"Helan Meng, don't think I don't know what you think."
"We only hate the officials of the Great Zhou, those upper-class people. The ordinary people are innocent. What you did is shameful and will cause great sin."
