Chapter 2103: The city is worthless, and so are the people(2/2)

Come forward quietly? No need to speak out? I'm sorry, there is no such item in the training subjects of Cao Jun's soldiers, and there are no corresponding instructions. Perhaps Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and other elite private soldiers have practiced this kind of demanding training

Combat skills, but the general soldiers of Cao's army are basically in the type of "everyone roar forward or not" or "roar". If you don't roar, you won't move, and if you roar, you will move. Otherwise, how can it be called "order and prohibition"?

In the night outside the gate of Fancheng, arrows were flying around one after another. Cao Jun's soldiers in the middle just wanted to curse but did not dare to say anything. After all, the archers in the rear may not all be very accurate. Cao Jun

The military lord saw at least two unlucky guys with arrows stuck in their butts...

"Uncle Zixiao, how about..." Cao Xiu took a step forward, ready to ask for help, but was stopped by Cao Ren.

"Forget it, let's withdraw our troops and come back first." Cao Ren glanced at Cao Xiu and shook his head, "What if there is another barbarum attack, how can we resist it?"

A group of soldiers were sent forward. Although they were attacked, the sword and shield bearers themselves had stronger defense against bows and arrows, so the damage was relatively small. In addition, it also proved that there were indeed hussars soldiers in the night.

Judging from the density of arrows, the number would not be less than a thousand. Although it is impossible to determine the specific location of these soldiers, it is difficult to deal with the enemy in darkness, but as soon as the sky breaks out, won't the situation be reversed immediately?

Moreover, what if this is another strategy to exhaust the troops? Or is it a lure strategy? Anyway, now that it has been proven that there are indeed hussars outside the camp, then it is safest to stick to the camp and wait for destiny. At present, Cao's army can do anything without taking risks.

Don't take risks. Just wait for the sky to light up before launching an attack. In this way, Cao's army can wait for work in the camp. On the other hand, it can also take advantage of the coordination of the troops. It will not be like now, with shadows in the dark night.

If you can't catch it, if you try to hit it, you will be damaged in vain...

Sure enough, after a while, Xiahou Dun's order spread throughout the camp. Except for the necessary soldiers on duty and the archers on the wall, most of the soldiers asked to wear armor and rest, and then waited for the arrival of dawn. At dawn,

Will launch an unreserved attack on Fancheng!

"Well... As expected..." Zhuge Liang smiled, and then said to Xu Yu, "Xu Xiaowei, the matter of the end of the line..."

Xu Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Kong Ming!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands again, nodded, but did not leave, but headed towards the city again.

"Kong Ming, what are you..." Xu Yu shouted.

Zhuge Liang said: "Liang and Fan Chengxiang have a word, and there will be no delay..."

In Fancheng, most of the hussars had already begun to evacuate at night, and now the only ones left are Xu Yu's cavalry formation and the people who originally lived in Fancheng.

Seeing Zhuge Liang coming, the people of Fancheng stood up and saluted Zhuge.

"Everyone... don't worry, all your letters have been taken out of the city..." Zhuge Liang said. Most of the people in Fancheng could not write. Zhuge Liang asked the military scribe to spend half a day recording some oral messages.

They are probably all words similar to "How are you, Erdan Gouliang? I am very good here."

Zhuge Liang looked around and then said: "Remember, at dawn, we set fire to this place..." Zhuge Liang pointed to the Fancheng government office behind him, "Remember, it's not too early, and it's not too late..."

If you want to let these people in Fancheng survive, on the one hand, you need to end the war in Jingbei as soon as possible so that it does not turn into a war of attrition. Naturally, these people will not have to be used as consumables. On the other hand, they will never have to fight again.

If the old, weak, sick and disabled with a certain value become unretired people with a certain residual value, then naturally Cao Jun will not kill him.

Therefore, withdrawing troops is the first step, and burning the Fancheng government office is the second step.

Taking advantage of the darkness to withdraw the troops, it went smoothly. Cao Jun, who had been beaten by a sneak attack before, was obviously more cautious. He was unwilling to disrupt the battle with the hussars and wanted to take advantage of the number of people to fight after dawn. It can be said that Cao Jun's overall tactical intention

It's very clear and reasonable, but it's exactly what Zhuge Liang expected.

So if we burn the Fancheng Government Office at dawn, and the surrounding areas of Fancheng Government Office are basically the residences of the original Fancheng gentry children, they are relatively prosperous, so it must look particularly nice when burned...

Of course, what's more important is that the residences of these gentry children and ordinary people's neighbors are one in the north of the city and the other in the south of the city, which are quite far apart.

Fancheng is worthless to the Hussars, but it is extremely important to the Xiahou family of the Cao family. So once Fancheng is on fire, who will be anxious? On the one hand, they have to pursue the fire, and on the other hand, they have to put out the fire. For generals such as the Xiahou family and the Cao family, can it be said that

Will we let the soldiers put out the fire and let the people in Fancheng pursue the fire?

Similarly, the autumn is high and dry, and even if we put out fires, we may not be able to save many neighborhoods in the north of Fancheng. And once the government office area is burned down, it is impossible for the Xiahou family, Cao family, and others to go to the slums in the south of the city.

Living in it, repairing and rebuilding have become inevitable in the future, and the older people in Fancheng will naturally be conscripted into labor...

The very irony here is that, yes, as laborers, these people are still valuable. They are not paid, but they will also be given some food. Even if many people will die because of their work, it is worse than seeing Fan Cheng. Unscathed, Cao Jun took a look and wondered, What's the use of keeping these old and weak people, wasting food and grass? It's better to just let the soldiers slaughter them all. On the one hand, it can vent their anger and calm the grievances of the soldiers, on the other hand, it can put the blame on the hussars. At the same time, You don’t have to bear the food rations for these people, wouldn’t it be the best of all three?

Zhuge Liang looked back around, checked the fire left behind, then sighed slightly, turned around and walked away. When passing by the entrance of Fancheng Mansion Yamen, Zhuge Liang paused slightly and looked at the open vermilion door, his eyes

An indescribable look flashed through him.

These people are Han people, but they have to rely on burning government offices and destroying the symbols of the Han power to survive. How many Han people are there in the world, and how many symbols of the Han power must be destroyed to survive? When these vermilion gates, these

Even the government offices of the Han Dynasty were burned down. How can we still be called a Han Dynasty in this world?

If not the Han Dynasty, what else would it be called?
