“Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped!”

Gu Changan’s voice was decisive, every word clear and powerful.

All the civil and military ministers couldn’t help but tremble physically and mentally when they heard it.

They all looked at Gu Changan with fear. They secretly guessed in their hearts, what kind of crime is this living crime?

Gu Changan smiled coldly and said

“All the officials and wealthy families who participated in the rebellion!”.

“All their property was confiscated!”

“All the men in the family were sent to the army and became field soldiers!”

“The female relatives in the family, those who are unmarried or have no husbands or children, are all designated to be married and married into the army!”

“The female relatives in the sea, those with husbands and children, become the Weaver Girl, and will be reunited with their families after three years of atonement!”

“The elderly and the young are raised by the court, and the court will not be stingy with this kindness!”

Gu Changan’s words fell.

The entire Chongde Hall was silent.

Gu Changan’s punishment was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at people’s hearts.

Everyone in the court was shocked by it.

This was simply murder. It’s heartbreaking!

What Gu Changan did to him. The children of these aristocratic families will be no different from ordinary farmers in a few years. The family inheritance may never be continued. This means that from now on, these aristocratic families will be the same as ordinary farmers. disappeared. This was simply more terrifying than killing them all. Cai Yong’s face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly:”General, is this too harsh?

“I’m afraid it will cause civil unrest in the entire Guanzhong region!”

Yang Biao also frowned and said:”The court’s laws have always valued mercy!”

“If the general is so implicated, too many innocent people may be implicated!”

Zhao Wen hesitated for a moment, then spoke to console him.

“These rebellious officials and traitors are indeed committing extremely heinous crimes by plotting to usurp the throne!”

“I can understand the general’s attempt to punish him severely and set an example to others!”

“But these wealthy families have deep foundations after all. If they are all implicated, they will be deeply implicated!”

“In this case, it will also be very detrimental to the imperial court’s future rule in the Guanzhong area!”

Zheng Taiye said slowly.

“I see how the general behaves with great compassion for the people in Guanzhong!”

“Why are you so cruel to these wealthy civil and military officials?”

“As long as the chief culprit is killed, why ruin their family and scatter their wives and children? It would be too cruel!”

Gu Changan looked at Zheng Tai and smiled coldly.

“cruel?”

“Mr. Gongye, go ask the millions of refugees in Guanzhong!”

“Go and ask them if they were cruel when their families were broken up and their wives and children were separated!”

Gu Changan turned around and looked at Emperor Liu Xie

“This matter does not need to be discussed further!”

“This is the punishment for rebellion and the protection of ordinary people in Guanzhong!”

“Only severe punishment can demonstrate the justice of the court’s laws and deter the dirty people hiding behind them!”

Liu Xie looked at Gu Changan.

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew that Gu Changan had made a decision.

This meant that the entire Guanzhong area would be further controlled by Gu Changan.

But he could neither resist nor dare to resist Gu Changan. Chang’an’s intention.

Liu Xie took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

“My dear, what you said is true!”

“Dear ministers, my decision has been made!”

“The culprit responsible for this rebellion must be killed!”

“The heads of all the aristocratic families involved in this matter have unshirkable responsibilities, and they will all be put to death!”

“As for the families of those who participated in the rebellion, they will be dealt with according to the way of the general!”

“But please, General, be careful to avoid causing unnecessary chaos in the Guanzhong area!”

As Emperor Liu Xie issued the edict, all civil and military officials in the dynasty were devastated.

But this is the best result.

Gu Changan wanted to kill the three tribes at first.

In any case, these people involved, They all survived successfully.

When this edict spread throughout Guanzhong, countless aristocratic families and wealthy families in Guanzhong began to cry loudly, break down and shed tears.

But the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would never pity them.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry held the list.

Family after family came to the door and arrested everyone in the family.

This rebellion involved a lot of local nobles and wealthy families.

Because this time they wanted to seize the entire city of Chang’an.

A total of 50,000 young people were mobilized. Soldiers.

How many young and strong private soldiers can each family of these local noble families and wealthy families have?

Moreover, they will not all contribute at once.

Some smaller landlord families even only contributed ten young and strong private soldiers..

But even if there is only one young private soldier, he will be on this list.

Countless local gentry family members cried bitterly and shouted injustice.

But the cold Xiliang Iron Cavalry showed no mercy at all.

Even Anyone who dares to resist will be killed directly.

This time the Xiliang cavalry was dispatched, local court officials also followed suit.

Most of these officials are mainly from Liangzhou.

Because many other officials were involved in this rebellion , were arrested.

These officials took advantage of this opportunity to clear land and check hidden households.

Suddenly they obtained a lot of hidden household registrations.

This caused tens of thousands more households in the entire Guanzhong area.

Don’t look at this Once there were some killings due to rebellion.

However, the population of the entire Guanzhong area will not only decrease, but also double.

Because a large number of hidden households have been recalculated.

In addition, a large amount of land has been confiscated.

These lands will be used for redistribution.

The harvest produced in the future, any piece of land can enhance Gu Changan’s strength.

As for Chang’an City, after the trial, although Gu Changan claimed to use capital punishment, in the end he still insisted on beheading.

There was no use of more information. Horrible punishments were used to execute these rebels.

Beheading, confiscating homes, confiscating troops, and finger marriages were the main events in Chang’an City recently.

After this round, at least half of the local noble families and wealthy families in the entire Guanzhong area were destroyed.

The remaining They were also trembling with fear and fear, and did not dare to go against Gu Changan at all.

Whether it was clearing land, collecting land taxes, or checking hidden households.

They all cooperated obediently and did not dare to complain at all.

These surviving local nobles and wealthy families even began to They all responded to Gu Changan’s recruitment order.

If you can’t beat them, join them!

This is their way of survival!… at the same time.

Gao Shun’s 50,000 troops have arrived at the gates of Wancheng.

Gao Shun felt very speechless.

Ji Ling was probably completely frightened.

He had an army of 100,000, but he did not leave the city to fight in the field with Gaoshun.

Instead, the entire Wancheng was reinforced like a hedgehog.

Outside the city is a moat, as well as countless pits, antlers, and horses.

The walls were heightened, strengthened, and thickened.

The various fortifications of the city wall make people feel chilly just looking at them.

Because Ji Ling’s army is large enough.

They defended day and night and did not give Gao Shun any opportunity to take advantage of him.

Countless arrow towers were also built on the city wall.

These arrow towers are condescending, and ordinary infantry archers can bring great lethality.

Gao Shun was very happy at this time.

The giant trebuchet delivered by the Lord in time.

Otherwise, if he wants to capture Wancheng, he will be beaten to death if he is too obedient.

Then it will really be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

I’m afraid it will give other princes an opportunity to take advantage of it…….

Ji Ling, Chen Lan, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Lejiu, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Xun Zheng and others.

They stood on the wall of Wancheng and looked at Gao Shun’s army in the distance.

Their hearts are very heavy.

Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Le Jiu, Liang Gang, and Xun Zheng finally saw the heavy armored infantry that completely destroyed Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang.

“Is this Bubazi? What a strange name is this? ˇ?”Ji Ling’s voice was a little shocking

“This stepman’s whole body is covered with armor, as if made of iron. If he encounters him in a battle formation, it will be really difficult to stop him!”

There was a tremor in Ji Ling’s voice.

There was both fear of the enemy and distrust of his own strength.

“How much iron does this cost?”Chen Lan clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with envy.

“How long did it take for Gu Changan to rise? How was it possible to produce so much equipment?”

Qiaorui was silent for a while, and then said

“Don’t underestimate it, those ten thousand crossbowmen are all armed with crossbows!”

“Each crossbowman seems to be equipped with three crossbows, literally thousands of arrows are fired at once, and the arrows rain down like rain!”

There was a look of pain in Qiao Rui’s eyes.

The army he led was the most unlucky.

At the same time, he saw the might of Bu Bazi’s steel and the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen.

Otherwise, his army would not have collapsed so easily.

Lei Bo sneered nonchalantly:”What are you afraid of?”

“No matter how powerful they are, if they want to attack the city wall, half of them will probably die!

Lejiu was relatively calm:”I heard that there was a rebellion in the Guanzhong area, that’s why Gao Shun was so anxious!””

“We remain unchanged in response to all changes. As long as he comes to attack the city, we will make him suffer a bloody head!

Xun Zheng also nodded and said,”We have been retraining for such a long time, and the morale of the army is very high!””

“Moreover, it is another battle to defend the city, and our side has the upper hand!”

“So what if the Xiliang cavalry is powerful? He can’t ride up to the city wall either!”

Facing Gao Shun’s army.

Ji Ling, Chen Lan, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Lejiu, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Xun Zheng and others.

Their moods changed several times.

From the initial shock to the final contempt.

In the end, no matter how powerful Gao Shun’s army was, it was difficult to fully utilize their advantages in a siege.

At this moment,

Gao Shun’s army opened a passage.

Some craftsman-looking soldiers , driving horses and dragging several carts, appeared in front of the military formation.

Then they opened the carts and removed various wooden parts from them.

Some soldiers holding digging tools were on the edge of the moat. , dug a large pit of more than ten meters.

They dug into the ground and began to move thick and long wooden parts.

Ji Ling and others stood on the city wall, watching this scene in stunned silence.

They looked at the moat. On the edge, a strange wooden device was erected.

It was a huge thing, almost as high as the city wall.

But how to attack the city wall from such a distance?

They were puzzled and started talking.

“what is that?”Chen Lan pointed to the distance, with confusion in her voice.

“Is it used to attack the city?”

“But I have never seen such a weird siege weapon!”

Lei Bo guessed, but his eyes were full of confusion.

“Could it be some kind of large crossbow? For example, the big yellow crossbow and the car crossbow, but this is too far!”

“Look at that cart of stones, they are as round as bullets! Liang Gang pointed at the soldiers who were carrying stone bullets.

There was surprise in his tone:”Is it a trebuchet?””

“Trebuchet?”Ji Ling frowned, he couldn’t believe it:”` 々I’ve seen a trebuchet, but it’s not like this!”

“But I heard that Cao Cao made a wheeled trebuchet and named it the Thunderbolt Chariot!”

“Could it be that Cao Cao gave it to Gu Changan?

Ji Ling shook his head:”I’m afraid not. How dare Cao Cao offend his lord!””

“However, looking at this shape and posture, it is really possible that it is a projectile, so we must be prepared!”

Ji Ling, Chen Lan, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Lejiu, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Xun Zheng and others felt doubts and uneasiness in their hearts.

They had never seen this kind of weapon. They felt strange and uneasy.

Such a long distance, such a large stone bullet, once thrown over and hit the city wall.

Can their city wall withstand it?

Their city wall will not be destroyed instantly, right?

Gao Shun came to the giant trebuchet in person.

He couldn’t put it down and touched it caressing the thick wood of the trebuchet.���A carefully polished stone bullet.

These stone bullets are like small meteorites.

Once thrown out, it contains enough destructive power to destroy everything.

Gao Shun looked coldly at Wancheng opposite the trebuchet.

Although the city walls of Wancheng have been reinforced, heightened and thickened.

There are countless defensive fortifications on it.

But what’s the use?

Prepare to tremble under the power of the trebuchet!

The first stone bullet was fired by Gao Shun himself.

Whether it’s Gao Shun’s army or Yuan Shu’s army in Wancheng.

Everyone is staring at the trebuchet.

The high-speed army is in a mood of anticipation.

Yuan Shu’s army in Wancheng was in a very uneasy mood.

“Boom!”There was a loud noise.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge stone bullet pierced the sky like a meteor and hit the direction of the city wall.

Unfortunately, the distance of the stone bullet was shorter.

The soldiers of Yuan Shu’s army on the city wall, He watched helplessly as the city wall under his feet trembled under the stone bullets.

The huge stone bullet hit the ground, bounced up, and hit the city wall.

The stone bullet shattered and the gravel flew everywhere.

The rammed earth on the city wall was instantly peeled off and cracked. Opening gaps.

The trebuchet only attacked for the first time.

It dealt a heavy blow to the belief of Yuan Shu’s army.

They once thought that Wancheng (Qian Hao) was indestructible, but in the face of this terrifying weapon, it was as fragile as tofu. Average.

Ji Ling, Chen Lan, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Le Jiu, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Xun Zheng and others on the city wall.

Their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of fear and despair.

They understood that this was unprecedented, and the first A weapon that appeared once.

It is basically the nemesis of the city.

Regardless of the first projectile, it did not completely hit the city wall.

But the difference is not far.

And after bouncing on the ground, it still has such great power.

If it is directly Hitting the city wall was simply unimaginable.

They never imagined why Gu Changan would suddenly master such a powerful siege weapon?

With this kind of weapon in the future, what city wall can resist.

After Gao Shun got addicted.

Ma Chao and Dian Wei were not to be left alone.

They all came over to test-fire the trebuchet.

Only Li Ru said with disdain:”Childish!”

But the curiosity in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

Under Gao Shun’s order, all generals participated in the test firing of the trebuchet.

In the future, these generals will always have their own time.

They can be earlier. Learn how to use a trebuchet and gain more experience, and you will have a better chance of winning in the future. One after another

, the stone bullets flew towards the Wancheng city wall.

Some fell on the ground, and some flew directly into the city, probably taking away some of Yuan Shu’s The soldiers carried them.

Some of them hit the city wall.

Probably because the angle was wrong, the wall did not collapse.

But everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the wall of Wancheng collapsed.

Because the stone bullets in front of it caused Wancheng The city wall brought huge damage.

The destroyed arrow tower, the soldiers fleeing in panic, and the cracks on the city wall were all caused by stone bullets.

Finally, a fatal stone bullet fell on Wanwan. The city wall collapsed instantly, like a wound torn apart by a giant beast……. ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, rating votes, rewards and comments!.
