Chapter 1345: Capture Alive
In a very short time, the towers were in chaos. Sun Yuantai's deployment was naturally very good, but he did not expect that Zhao Cheng would break through the surface with a single point, and also used Taoism to incite a group of local men.
Many of the men in the city knew each other, but they were deliberately dispersed by Sun Yuantai.
Now, some of them fired their guns and surrendered, and there was no turning back, and Zhao Cheng ordered everyone to shout like this.
It would be more effective to let these men shout, who were also forcibly conscripted.
Of course, more importantly, these men had long been very dissatisfied with Sun Yuantai. Many of them, their families, had died in battle before them.
In this case, they hated the Yingtian Army, but they hated Sun Yuantai even more.
After all, if one household and one man really exchanged their lives for the safety of their families, it would be worth it.
But the reality is that one household and one man is just a lie. Those rich families can't afford to save a single person, while these small families have to use the lives of their entire family to protect those rich families.
In this situation, many people have already accumulated a lot of resentment in their hearts.
It's just that because no one took the lead before, they didn't dare to move, and the resentment in their hearts could only be suppressed.
Now, the momentum outside is so great, and those strong men waiting in the fortress inside the city tower can no longer bear it.
People's hearts are more or less bloody. They were tied up before, but it was just their weak spot in the city.
Just like a strong cow, with a rope tied to the most vulnerable nose, it can only be a cow and horse for the rest of its life.
But now if the city is really broken, they rebel, not only will they be innocent, but they will be meritorious!
"What do you want to do?!"
"Don't believe the lies of those thieves outside."
"Even if you are not afraid of death, aren't you afraid that after the thieves are beaten back, all your families will be executed?!"
"When that happens, it will be too late to regret it!"
A military supervisor saw that the situation was not right and threatened fiercely.
These days, they have been using this set of words to threaten people, and even to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, not long ago, they also beheaded several escaped men and their families in public.
After all, if they didn't do this, there would be more than one or two escaped men.
And this set, Da Cang, or the courts of all dynasties, are very skilled.
For example, those heavy corvee labor, it's fine if they die, no one will investigate, and there is no pension, but if they escape, whether they are caught or not, their families will be implicated, or they will be beheaded directly, or the whole family will be forced to work until they die.
On the contrary, those who have no family and are alone, the court dare not force them too much, but it is impossible to let them go free.
On the one hand, they will promote various concepts such as having many children and more blessings, and instill the idea of settling down in people from all aspects.
In addition, if you reach the age of marriage and still don't get married, you will be fined every year.
The way to control the people is like this. If you want the world to be stable, you have to start with the weaknesses. If there are no weaknesses, you have to find ways to force the other party to have weaknesses. In this way, the country will naturally be peaceful and the people will be safe.
For people in the Da Cang system, this set of methods can be said to be used without any success, but this time, the situation is completely different.
After a period of time, these strong men have known the strength of the Yingtian Army and have confidence in this army. At this moment, they heard the shouts outside. Some people were indeed frightened by the military supervisor, but there were still people who made up their minds and fired without hesitation.
Once the gun was fired, the rest of the situation could not be controlled by a military supervisor.
After about a quarter of an hour, all the strong men stationed on the entire tower had rebelled and formed a mighty team.
At this time, the vanguard of the Yingtian Army also arrived. They rushed towards the city gate with these strong men.
Sun Yuantai stationed a full 100,000 troops at this strategic location, all of which were regular troops, without a single miscellaneous soldier.
However, these 100,000 people, without the support of the terrain, were completely useless when facing a steady stream of enemies, and were instead caught in a trap.
The assault team of the Yingtian Army, carrying the last 100 rocket launchers, fired a volley that turned the military camps on both sides of the city gate into a raging sea of fire.
Without the danger of the city, facing this kind of weapon, Sun Yuantai's army had no great resistance at all.
Just like when Zhao Cheng had only 30,000 people and 10,000 guns, he defeated Cao Zheng's 100,000 and forced the other side to surrender.
The greatest use of rocket launchers is not to kill people, but to cause chaos.
Once the army is in chaos, it is easy to evolve into a rout.
"Kill!"
"The sky has been broken, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
When the situation was under control, Lin Yi shouted, and the troops behind him also shouted with him.
In the sea of fire, many soldiers saw that the situation was hopeless, but they had to take off their armor and lay down their weapons.
After that, it took another moment for the city gate to be slowly opened by the Yingtian Army. At the same time, the city gate was also occupied by the Yingtian Army, making it possible to attack and retreat.
…
"General, the Yingtian thieves have entered the city, and the gate has been broken."
"According to the intelligence, the Zhao thief took the lead in rushing up the tower today. Just one person, he instigated 200,000 civilians to rebel..."
"The situation is hopeless, General, retreat!"
"Only by preserving a useful body can you be loyal to His Majesty!"
In the city, Sun Yuantai's left and right all persuaded him.
Seeing that Sun Yuantai did not respond for a long time, the two looked at each other, and one of them carried Sun Yuantai on his back without hesitation and ran outside.
As for Sun Yuantai, he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but he wanted Liu Guangzheng's instructions, and thought of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. If he lost the city defense, even if he stayed in the city to reorganize the military, he would not be able to match the thieves. Instead, he would sacrifice more troops and horses in vain, and he would definitely die here.
Instead of doing so, it is better to evacuate first and open the city gate to let his troops disintegrate. At that time, even if the Zhao thieves chased him, they would not be able to kill everyone.
As for his own life and death, he was not afraid of death, but dying here was undoubtedly meaningless.
It is better to survive and stay in Qingzhou, and fight with Zhao Cheng by taking advantage of the vast area of Qingzhou to slow down Zhao Cheng's pace of unifying Qingzhou.
However, Sun Yuantai was intercepted by a group of people before he left the city.
It turned out that Zhao Cheng had arranged a group of people to intercept Sun Yuantai when the Yingtian army attacked the city tower.
If this person really let the other party run away, he would be delayed for a while.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sun Yuantai was going to escape, so he only led a thousand cavalrymen, while Zhao Cheng's people only had five hundred people, but after a round of volleys, the thousand cavalrymen were beaten to the ground as soon as they met.
Later, some people shot and killed all those who could still move.
After that, Sun Yuantai was also hung up.
In a trance, Sun Yuantai recalled the dream he had had before.
