Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 660 Run away with the treasury!

"what news?"

"The Byzantine Empire has gathered 30 troops, and it seems that they are preparing to defend against our attack!"

"Hehe, it's okay, no matter how many of them there are, it's useless, and it looks like it's the last struggle just like the Great Food Kingdom!"

"Now also pass on the order to march into Byzantium and try to capture them in a short time!"

"Yes!"

Next, Wu Zhi led the army and headed towards the Byzantine Empire.

10,000+ troops plus logistical supplies, Shenwei cannons and air forces, and mortars got new shell supplies.

Soon they entered the borders of the Byzantine Empire.

As long as he encounters Byzantine troops and cities, Wu Zhi will be bombarded.

He didn't discuss anything with them, as often the other party would abandon the city and flee if they attacked so fiercely.

So in just half a month, Wu Zhi attacked more than a dozen cities of the opponent without any effort.

All food materials, except for their own reserves, are mostly food in the city.

When the enemy troops fled, they didn't have time to take away all the supplies, so Wu Zhi's army was taken advantage of in vain.

Wu Zhi was not stingy with those who had gold and silver wealth, and would gather them together to reward the soldiers.

This led to an unprecedented high morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. After all, who doesn't like wealth? They came all the way here. Apart from following Wu Zhi, they also want to make contributions, money, fame and fortune, and official positions. Who doesn't want these?

Wu Zhi gave them wealth, the morale of the army became more stable, and the combat effectiveness became stronger!

Wu Zhi's army is extremely fierce. Wherever they appear, the Byzantine Empire army flees.

"It's Da Song's army!"

"General, the Song Dynasty army is here, shall we fight?"

"Don't fight, let's run away, this is a group of crushing machines, no matter how many of us there are, we can't withstand Da Song's artillery fire, I know all the previous battle reports, and those who don't flee will die.

Your Majesty, it's no wonder we are here. This kind of one-sided war has no hope at all. I still have a family. I don't want to just die like this! "

A general guarding the city said: "If you are willing to follow me, follow up. If you are not willing, you can stay. I will never pursue it!"

"General, we are willing to follow the general!"

"Where the general is, we will be there. We are all soldiers of the general, and we will follow him to the death!"

"Okay, let's go, it's too late if we don't go!"

The general looked at the Song army in the distance, and without saying a word, he led all the 1 people guarding the city to abandon the city and flee.

The soldiers under him ran faster than anyone else. They did not follow the general to the death, but followed the opportunity to escape.

Seeing that the soldiers had run away, the people in the city packed up their things and ran together.

"You don't have to run away. Song Dynasty is targeting Byzantine soldiers. If the people surrender and don't kill them, you can stay here! There's no need to run around and wander around!"

The general left a last word, and then led his army away. Some of the people in the city stayed, and some ran away.

And just as the general said, Wu Zhi's army entered the city without killing any civilians, and just took over the city.

As time passed slowly.

Every city was conquered by Wu Zhi in this way.

The other party heard that the dozen or so cities ahead had all been defeated, and that the Great Food Kingdom had perished, so there was no confidence left.

Therefore, wherever Wu Zhi went, it was almost an empty city without any defensive capabilities.

Some of the people really don't want to leave.

I also heard that Wu Zhi would not kill the common people, so he dared to stay.

But they are fighting for their lives. After all, whether Wu Zhi kills people or not, they only heard about it.

In case Wu Zhi got mad and wanted to massacre the city, they would all be buried here.

Fortunately, they made the right bet. Da Song's army walked through the streets of the city. The houses were full of hiding people, and there was no one on the streets.

All the people secretly watched the war horses pass by outside by the windows. After the 10,000+ army passed by, the houses of the people in the city did not suffer any losses.

This means that the Song Dynasty army did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

kept them.

This is a very important part of peace of mind.

After knowing not to kill the people, the people in the city felt relieved.

It's just that I feel a little bit sad about this kind of change in my empire, and I don't know what to do in the future, what to do.

In fact, siege is the worst policy, overbearing can only conquer the body, but not the heart, Wu Zhi conquered the enemy country, for future governance, the local people must also take care of it.

If there is a random killing, the people will all run away.

No matter how large the territory is without productivity, it is also wasteland.

Wu Zhi is very clear about this.

And it was indeed useful for him to do so.

Even if the Byzantine royal family is extinct, if the people know that Song Dynasty will have greater interests for them after taking over, there will be no turmoil over time.

Moreover, the Byzantine state and the Dashi state are actually unpopular. The upper class lives in wealth, while the lower class lives in hardship.

Who wants to be this kind of people?

What the common people want is to have a house, a field, a wife and children, no pressure, and live and work in peace.

And the people's life is not good, how the king is doing, whether it is orthodox, it doesn't matter to them at all.

Over time.

Wu Zhi, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, has arrived.

On the way there, they were intercepted by the opponent's 30 troops, but they were all sent back by Wu Zhi.

Now the Byzantine Empire has the same fate as the Great Food Kingdom, they are guarding in the city, worried.

It was almost exactly the same as the situation before the Great Food Kingdom.

The king of the Byzantine Empire, when Wu Zhi's soldiers approached the city, combined with Wu Zhi's previous momentum and the record of eliminating the Great Food Kingdom, the Byzantine Empire king still decided to escape.

So Wu Zhi had just approached the city, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops behind the city all began to retreat further back.

Wu Zhi would not let this remnant army run around, so he sent people to chase them down.

The remnants of the Byzantine Empire ran very fast, especially the vanguard troops were all cavalry, carrying countless tall carriages, on which were the Byzantine kings, queens, princes, ministers and nobles with titles.

No matter how brilliant and dazzling they were before, when the Song Dynasty army came, they became bereaved dogs and fled everywhere.

There were carriages and cavalry running ahead, and the remaining infantry could only run wildly behind.

At first they could catch up a little bit, but gradually they could only see the back of the Byzantine king's carriage at the end, and finally they couldn't see anything.

The Byzantine kings will wait for a while in the early stage, and then they simply gave up these infantry.

Because when they lent soldiers and horses to support the Great Food Kingdom, they lost a lot of war horses. Now they brought the gold treasures and all kinds of valuable things pulled by the war horses.There are not many horses for soldiers.

So, they ran first.
