Chapter 1693: Chapter 146-siege (3)
In this Army of 70000, there were only about 30000 real armored soldiers, and the rest were made up of militia and miscellaneous troops.
These two groups were made up of the people captured in Yongzhou. The militia was in charge of transporting rations, artillery, and other military supplies. They were also responsible for filling the roads, cooking, and other work.
The mixed Army consisted of young and strong men selected from the militia. Each of them was equipped with a saber and rushed to the battlefield.
Both the Yunzhou Army and the Dafeng Army would not lack soldiers of this type.
However, the number of elite troops on both sides decreased as they fought.
Qi Guangbo sat on his horse and looked at the majestic city at the end of the horizon. He let out a long breath, ”
“We’ve finally arrived at the capital!”
Behind him were Ji Xuan, yang Chuannan, GE Wenxuan, and other capable generals.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan and the others were filled with emotions.
It had been three months since the uprising. The Yunzhou Army had pushed the front line from the south to the North, leaving countless corpses of their comrades and enemies along the way.
Since ancient times, beneath the throne, there were piles of white bones, painted with the blood of the common people.
Qi Guangbo squeezed his horse’s belly, making it gallop forward a short distance. He then turned his horse around to face the Army and shouted, ”
“The emperor’s Army has been out of Yunzhou for more than three months. All the soldiers have followed me to conquer the Central Plains and then Qingzhou and Yongzhou. Now that the Army has arrived in the capital, victory is in sight. Once we take down this city, the Central Plains will be in our hands.
“The ceremony of King and Minister is today. The first one to rush to the top of the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households.”
“Roar!”
Tens of thousands of people roared in unison. Their voices were like the waves of the ocean, creating a spectacular sight.
Thump thump thump!
The drumbeats were like thunder as the Army set out for the capital.
…………
An hour ago, noble Qi building.
On the seven-story observation deck, Wei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the four golden gongs, silver gongs, and bronze gongs.
There were over three hundred people.
Wei Yuan’s tone was gentle and calm, ”
“After today, those who survive will be promoted by one rank and be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
“If anyone dies, I’ll personally carry the coffin!”
The watchman’s blood rushed to his head, and his eyes burned as he roared,
“I’m willing to go through fire and water for Lord Wei, even if it means death!”
