Chapter 493

The messy streets are full of corpses that no one collects.

Among them are women, as well as children and the elderly.

A dull sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the empty long street, and then, a team of more than a dozen Qiang cavalry whistled past the long street.

The Qiang soldiers on the horses waved the horse whips in their hands, shouting loudly, and laughing wildly through the street.

In the closed doors on both sides of the long street, the commoners leaned on the doors and shivered.

And the county office in Jincheng had already become a human purgatory at this time.

More than ten days ago.

Cheng Qiu, the Governor of Liangzhou, in the name of Liangzhou Inspector Liang Gu, tricked open the city gate at night.

The Qiang tribes Lejie and Wuliang brought thousands of Qiang people into the city.

In an instant, the unprepared Jincheng was captured.

Then Cheng Qiu led the Qiang soldiers to rush directly to the county office, slaughtering all the officials in the Jincheng county office.

Jincheng was occupied by the two Qiang tribes Lejie and Wuliang.

At this time, dozens of corpses were still lying outside the gate of the Jincheng county office, and no one was cleaning them up.

And the Qiang soldiers walked in and out of the county office gate swaggeringly, as if they didn't see it.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Jincheng county office, there were goods piled up like a small hill.

In the main hall of the county office.

The two leaders of the Lejie and Wuliang tribes sat in the main seat with big horses and golden knives.

They were gnawing on lamb chops and drinking fine wine.

On the left and right sides, there were four Han women with messy clothes who had obviously cried.

And Cheng Qiu, wearing a black official robe and looking like a pug, knelt in the lower position of the two, with a flattering smile on his face.

At this time, the sound of war drums and horns had already sounded outside the city.

Cheng Qiu, who heard the sound, looked at the leaders of the two Qiang tribes and bowed slightly and flatteringly: "Two adults, the Han army is attacking the city again."

The two tribal leaders who were drinking and eating meat glanced at Cheng Qiu who was kneeling on the side.

Then they snorted disdainfully: "What are you afraid of."

"Your Han people's bows are not as powerful as our Qiang children's."

"They haven't even been able to get on the city wall for five days, what is there to worry about."

"Don't say five days, even if we give them fifty days, they won't be able to get in."

"Instead of going up to the city wall to watch those weak performances, it's better to hold their women here, eat meat in big mouthfuls, and drink wine in big mouthfuls!"

Hearing this, Cheng Qiu immediately nodded flatteringly: "Yes, yes, yes, the warriors under the adults' command are brave, and they are definitely not the enemy of the Han army."

"Haha!"

The two Qiang leaders laughed while holding the wine bowls in their hands, and unscrupulously reached their hands into the chest of the woman on the side and rubbed them wantonly.

The woman bit her lip and lowered her head without daring to make a sound.

"You Han people are still good, compared to those wastes, you are more afraid of death.

However, only those who are afraid of death can live longer."

Cheng Qiu did not dare to refute at all, just nodded and admitted with a flattering smile.

"Go, find all the beautiful women in the city, and the money and food hidden in the homes of these lowly people."

The leader of the Wuliang Qiang looked at Cheng Qiu and said: "Your task is to scrape Jincheng clean, and when we leave, take it away together."

Cheng Qiu stood up, bowed his waist and nodded: "Two adults, don't worry, the villain will do it, and will definitely find the most beautiful women in the city and all the money and food for the two adults."

Saying that, Cheng Qiu bowed his waist and retreated step by step out of the main hall of the county office.

On the city wall of Jincheng.

The Qiang soldiers stood sparsely on the city wall, looking at the soldiers who were attacking the city again in the distance, pointing and pointing with disdain.

Five days.

The Han army has been attacking the city for five days.

But these five days.

Except for leaving some corpses every day, the Han army has never even climbed the city wall once.

On the first day, when they saw the ten thousand Han troops outside the city, the Qiang soldiers in Jincheng were still a little nervous and guarded strictly.

However, after the first day of the attack, the Qiang soldiers in Jincheng found that the Han army seemed to have no ability at all.

They didn't even get on the city wall.

The second day was still the same.

The third day.

The fourth day.

The fifth day.

Until half of the Qiang soldiers defending the city had withdrawn to rest and plunder property in the city.

But the Han army outside the city still couldn't climb the city wall.

Even the scaling ladders used by the Han army couldn't reach the city wall.

Therefore, the Qiang soldiers concluded that this Han army outside the city was just a miscellaneous army temporarily put together.

And cowardly.

Today is the sixth day.

Looking at the sparse attacking team of only one or two thousand people outside the city, the Qiang soldiers with only two thousand defenders on the city wall had completely lost their vigilance.

Some Qiang soldiers even started betting.

Betting on who killed more Han soldiers today, and who could pick more Han women to enjoy tonight.

Under the city wall of Jincheng.

Gao Shun and Qu Yi were about a hundred paces apart, each leading about a thousand people behind them, holding shields and masking toward the city wall of Jincheng.

The speed was not fast, not slow.

Together with more than a dozen scaling ladders toward the city wall of Jincheng.

It's just that this time, compared to five days ago, the scaling ladders used today were longer and stronger.

Gao Shun's gaze was cold, and there was only one direction, which was Jincheng in front.

Five days.

The Han army's multiple attacks on the city in these five days were actually not because they couldn't climb Jincheng.

It's just that there was no certainty of winning in one battle.

In order to avoid the Qiang people in Jincheng from guarding strictly, Gao Shun thought of a way.

That is to show weakness!

Attacking the city continuously for five days, but not launching full force.

Every time it was just a feint.

Use this method to paralyze the Qiang people defending the city in Jincheng.

Then take Jincheng in one go.

As time passed.

Gao Shun observed the movements of the Jincheng defenders on the city wall every day.

From the third day, the Qiang defenders on the city wall of Jincheng began to become fewer and fewer.

According to Gao Shun's research on the habits of the Qiang people in the past.

These Qiang people who occupied Han towns and villages always plundered wealth.

And now that these Qiang people have occupied Jincheng, there is no reason not to plunder wealth.

Therefore, the people defending the city should have mostly gone to the city to plunder.

The wealth obtained by these Qiang soldiers when plundering was all put into their own pockets, for fear that it would be gone if they were late.

Now the Qiang defenders on the city wall are not even half as many as five days ago.

Gao Shun, with a cold gaze, observed the movements on the city wall while pushing forward with the Trapping Camp under his command.

Five hundred paces.

Three hundred paces. ===== CHAPTER 495 =====
