The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

"Kill, fame and fortune are right in front of you, take that person's head, and seal his wife and son!" A group of soldiers rushed towards the city wall following the instigation of their chief.

A soldier who has never been a bottom-level soldier will never be able to experience the desire to climb up. They have been continuously exploited by landlords and officials since they were civilians.

And at any time, it may be used by those officials, or those noble young masters as an object of venting their anger if they are unhappy, and the safety of life cannot be guaranteed.

As for what the law of the Han Dynasty was, it was used to restrain the peasants at the bottom. Use a reasonable excuse to make them obediently obey the government, pay taxes to the government, squeeze every trace of value from them, and let them take it for granted.

And it is used to protect the nobles and the government after bullying the common people, they can get an effective protection, and it is also called the name of righteousness, so that those who resist the common people will fall into a morally disadvantaged position.

After joining the army, he became an ordinary soldier of the Han Dynasty. He practiced every day on weekdays, although he had food every day, and he could barely fill his stomach. He looked eighty percent full, unlike the state before he was a soldier who could barely starve to death.

However, in the past few years, the great Han has been fighting everywhere, fighting every year, and there are natural disasters and man-made disasters everywhere. In the past few years, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and they have to keep selling their lives.

There were forty or fifty fellow soldiers who joined the army together back then, but now I don’t know if there are three or four of them, watching the surrounding Tongze all throw their corpses into the wilderness and bury their bones in other places.

If these soldiers want to say in their hearts that they don't feel the sorrow of the rabbit dying and the fox, they feel empathy, and they don't believe it when they say it.

Now, before the battle, they received a message from their generals that the first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and the officer will be promoted to one level. And the other rewards will be cashed out immediately after the war without any delay.

This kind of promise is not usually unobtainable. Anyway, since they became soldiers, they have never seen such a promise.

According to their gossip, it is said that the army of the imperial country outside the customs, privately resembles their current chief general, Anguo Xiaowei Guo Cheng, who has made a promise to help them break the city. of the feudal country.

At the beginning, many people didn't believe it. As far as our Han Dynasty was concerned, the White Horse Alliance was openly made by the non-Liu family. Action too!

However, many cases later explained to them that the reason why so many counties outside of them surrendered was because they were lured by the temptation of the feudal country.

And after that, the emperor of Yuguo didn't break his promise, and he fulfilled it on the spot. Therefore, the soldiers inside the checkpoint all believed in the oath made by their captain, thinking that their captain would not make fun of the feudal kingdom he almost obtained.

What if the soldiers in the checkpoint are angered and provoke a mutiny? At that time, not only will my own life be in danger, but even the feudal kingdom in my hand will be blown away!

After this mobilization and temptation, all the soldiers rushed to the city wall with jealousy, and killed the enemy soldiers who they thought were living credit, money, status and wealth.

All of a sudden, the soldiers of the Han army, whose combat effectiveness and morale were not very good, exploded in an instant, rushed up the city wall less than five meters high, and climbed up the ladder continuously.

Even if someone fell off or was killed by the defenders above the city wall, the rest of the people didn't care, and rushed up even more desperately and bravely.

For a while, the guards on the city wall were in danger, and the insufficient heatstroke prevention materials were exhausted at this moment, and the people on the city wall could only fight by themselves.

At this moment, the geographical advantage of the city defenders was infinitely lowered. The city wall was not very high, and without the assistance of long-range attacks, the well-prepared rebels climbed up the city wall in two or three strokes, which can be said to be effortless.

In just an hour, all the more than 3,000 defenders on the entire city wall were killed. Only his remaining two or three hundred people retreated to defend in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Another half an hour later, along with the last two or three hundred people, all of them died in battle. The city guard Lu Zhi and more than a dozen other loyal generals all committed suicide in the hall.

The troops were carefully dispatched to clean up the battlefield, so as to prevent any omissions from lurking in the mansion, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate them, and eliminate all dangers as much as possible.

Guo Cheng also came to the main hall of the city lord's mansion, looked at Lu Zhi's body, swung his sword down, the body was divided into two parts, and asked someone to take his head, clean it and marinate it, so that it can be given to him later. Han Kai, the general who conquered the East outside, received the reward.

After finishing his main business, he asked someone to tidy up the city lord's mansion. After welcoming the army into the city, how could General Zhengdong have no place to live? This City Lord's Mansion is just right.

An hour later, all the battlefields were cleaned up, and people were sent to clean up the residences of the army after they entered the city. Guo Cheng also sent people to the Yuguo camp outside the pass to inform General Han Kai of Zhengdong that he could reorganize the army and enter the pass to receive rest at any time.

After some more time, the sky has brightened now, and the sun has shone on the earth, bringing a bit of warmth to the night full of darkness and killing, and dispelling all the coldness and chill.

Outside the city, in the big camp of Yuguo, the soldiers had already lined up neatly under the shouts of their officers, and they approached the city wall of the Revolving Gate Pass one after another, but they approached the city in a short while. under the door.

At this time, the gate of the city was wide open, and the guards in the city, led by Captain Guo Cheng, lined up neatly a hundred paces away from the gate of the city, looking respectfully and obsequiously at the army that was slowly approaching.

The 3,000 troops in the lead ignored them, instead they went straight into the city and took over the fortifications around the city gate, in case they suddenly turned against them here and harmed the commander in chief of the army.

Looking at the leading generals of the vanguard army with a somewhat stiff face, he ignored him at all, and instead went straight into the city, clearly disbelieving himself as the leading general of the descending army.

I was a little annoyed in my heart, but I suppressed it, and said bitterly in my heart: What are you proud of? After a few days, I will be a king, and you are just the leader of a vanguard army. At that time, I will be the king and you will be the minister. It depends on who will be proud of who.

Seeing that the city defense had been taken over by his soldiers, Han Kaicai slowly led his hundreds of personal guards and approached the surrendered generals at the gate of the city.

First, some good words to appease these unhappy generals, and then assure them that their previous promises are absolutely true, and they also took out the imperial decree that they brought in advance, and read it out in front of them. Seeing the faces of these people gradually soften, they finally became agitated after seeing the imperial decree, and they couldn't even speak clearly.

He laughed and joked a few words, and then slowly took them into the city, went to the pass to inspect, and looked at the pass that had blocked him for a few days.

Later, when he came to his residence, he found that the city lord's mansion, which originally belonged to Lu Zhi, had been cleaned up. Even the smell of blood from the night before had been sprayed with floral fragrance, so there was not even a smidge of it.

He couldn't help being very satisfied with this Guo Cheng, and praised him repeatedly, which made this Guo Cheng flattered immediately, and flattered him even more attentively.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely harmonious.

This is the last one today. The author hasn’t said anything at the end of the chapter for a long time. First of all, I wish you all success in your work. Secondly, I recently found in the book review area that many people said that the author’s writing style and sense of plot substitution are not very good. The author admitted , because it is a fact that cannot be denied. The author can only guarantee here that the writing style will gradually improve and correct as much as possible, and the plot will also read and learn from other works with good writing style. But this process will definitely be relatively long. The author is a newcomer, and his education is not very high. Everything can only be learned and improved slowly. I just hope that everyone can be considerate and understand. The author is very grateful here. In the end, it’s time to ask for collections, recommendations, and rewards. Welcome everyone to come and support.
