907. Burn and loot
Since you have no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Song army, then let's prepare to retreat! ”
His eyes swept over the faces of the generals again, and Chi Feng said in his mouth.
He is probably a little helpless now.
If he can have a chance of winning, he is willing to fight a decisive battle with the Song army outside the city for his own future. But now, he has no hope of victory at all.
No matter how many people there are, the number of scattered sand troops without fighting spirit is just a number.
As high as a person's position, how wide his horizons are. Chi Fenggu is just the main general, and he can't be as far-reaching as Duan Qilin and the Guigu Palace Master.
He didn't think that for Emperor Dali, it was better to die here than for the Qilin of the upper section of the Dali Emperor, and these soldiers of various tribes would go back alive.
On this day, Dali's 100,000 troops were ready to withdraw from Hengshanzhai.
It's just that this is to make the living beings in the Hengshan cottage miserable.
The generals of various tribes robbed the grain and women, burned, killed and looted.
In just a short period of time, Hengshanzhai is on fire.
Even Zhao Hao's Guangwang Mansion was burned to the ground by fire.
The army was venting its anger, and at the same time, it also had the intention of robbing the property and returning to the tribe.
These soldiers of various tribes went out to fight, but they only lost and did not reap any benefits, and they were obviously unwilling in their hearts.
Crying and shouting in the Hengshan cottage.
Although the Dali soldiers did not slaughter the city, it was almost there.
Mo said that it was a valuable thing in the city, as long as it was edible and usable, almost all of them were snatched by them.
The streets are only chasing the people.
There were corpses everywhere.
The shops were empty.
The big mansions in the city were not spared, almost all the things were moved and smashed, not to mention, even the female dependents whose faces were only a little longer were robbed.
And such a big movement in Hengshan Cottage quickly alarmed Liu Hongyi and others, who had just returned to the barracks with the army.
100 dense and one sparse.
They thought that the Dali army might retreat, but they never thought that the Dali army would do such a cruel thing in Hengshanzhai.
After all, Hengshanzhai can also be regarded as the center of Yongzhou. The industries in the city are inextricably linked with many tribes in Yongzhou.
The Dali army's move is almost equivalent to offending those tribes in Yongzhou.
But he didn't think that the Dali army in Hengshanzhai couldn't care about so much at this time.
They have decided to withdraw from the army, which means that those tribes in Yongzhou are of little use to them.
What if you are offended?
Maybe a few people such as Chi Fenggu can imagine this.
But they may not be able to stop these red-eyed soldiers of various tribes.
In the thick smoke and firelight, Hengshanzhai is full of devastation.
This is the settlement of human civilization.
When this Hengshan cottage was established, I don't know how long it took. But now it is being destroyed so quickly.
Liu Hongyi and the others were furious when they learned the news.
Zhang Hongwei stood up and patted the desk in the handsome tent and said, "I'm going to kill those bitches!" ”
After that, the account will be released.
Miao Cheng and Liu Zhuwen also stood up.
Most of the generals in the tent stood up, their faces full of righteous indignation.
All are united in their hatred.
At this time, Wang Ziqian suddenly said: "Generals, don't be impulsive. ”
He stood up and trotted to the door of the tent and stopped the crowd.
Zhang Hongwei's face was a little unkind, and he said, "Counselor Wang, what are you going to do?" ”
Wang Ziqian is now a staff general under his command.
Wang Ziqian arched his hand and said: "Commander, if we go to attack Hengshanzhai now, it will only make those Dali troops in the city even more crazy!" Think about it, if they use the people as hostages, what should we do? Shall we attack the people of the city without regard for their lives? ”
Zhang Hongwei and others were slightly stunned.
Liu Zhuwen's eyes flashed thoughtfully.
Then Zhang Hongwei said angrily: "Do you want us to just watch that group of bastards slaughter the people like this in Hengshanzhai?" ”
The prince said: "But even if our army goes now, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Zhang Hongwei said: "Even if it's late, I'm going to go." I must not sit back here and watch them plague our people of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
As he spoke, he pushed Wang Ziqian away and walked out of the tent.
All the generals are following.
In the past, Liu Hongyi knew that it was not easy for more than 20,000 people to defend the camp, but he still knew that he could not do it.
Now Zhang Hongwei, why aren't they like this?
There are some things that may not yield results even if you know that after hard work. However, it still needs to be done.
Zhang Hongwei and the others gradually grew up under the influence of Zhao Dongting's patriotism and love for the people, and their temperament is undoubtedly a little different from that of Wang Ziqian.
If Zhao Dongting was here at this time, he would be very relieved to see the generals like this.
In the last life, the soldiers were called "the loveliest people". That's because they always put the people first.
Fighting floods and droughts are all those who are the loveliest at the forefront.
Now, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are undoubtedly developing in this direction.
Such an army is far more lovely and respectable than those that are only good at fighting.
At this time, Liu Zhuwen also hurriedly ran in front of everyone and stopped everyone, "Everyone, slow down." ”
And all the people looked at him.
Liu Zhuwen said: "I think Counselor Wang is right, attacking the city at this time will not only fail to save the people in the city, but will only make them more dangerous." ”
He looked directly at everyone, "Since the Dali army is burning, killing and looting in the city, it must have planned to evacuate Hengshanzhai." They knew that our army was outside the city, and they should have thought that our army might attack on a large scale, and they did not dare to stay in the city for more. In addition to robbing property, you should have no intention of slaughtering the people in the city. When our army attacked the city, it was better to send cavalry to threaten them and force them to evacuate from Hengshanzhai in a hurry, so that more people could be saved from being slaughtered. ”
The crowd was slightly silent at his words.
Immediately Zhang Hongwei said: "I will lead the cavalry forward!" ”
Although everyone is angry at the moment, they obviously understand that Liu Zhuwen has a point.
Even a worm will turn.
At this time, it is really better to attack Hengshanzhai than just coercion.
Soon, Zhang Hongwei, Miao Cheng, Que Huarong and other generals led the cavalry out of the camp and hurriedly went to Hengshanzhai.
Liu Hongyi, Liu Zhuwen, Wang Ziqian and others watched the cavalry leave the camp and returned to the tent.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Zhuwen said: "Liu appeases the envoy, the emperor clearly said that this battle is only to force the Dali army back, you see ...... now."
Liu Hongyi's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said in a deep voice: "The Dali army has done such a cruel and inhumane thing, and the general must not watch them leave just like this. According to my will, I will kill them all, even at any cost! Will you lead your army with me? ”
All the generals are arched, "I am willing to go out with Liu to appease the envoy." ”
Liu Hongyi said again: "Don't worry, if the emperor condemns in the future, I, Liu Hongyi, am willing to bear it." ”
A general said: "Don't say that to the Liu pacification envoy, even if the Liu pacification envoy doesn't say it, we will go to fight with these Dali troops." If the emperor condemns the crime, we should bear it together! ”
Hong Wutian, who had never spoken, smiled at this time.
He said: "The generals are too worried, if the emperor is here, I am afraid that he will only be more angry than you." Don't worry, the emperor will never condemn you. ”
The generals were slightly stunned.
Looking at Zhao Dongting's past style, I am afraid that it is really as Hong Wutian said. If he wants to be here, he may rush faster than Zhang Hongwei and others.
Thinking of this, the generals no longer have even the slightest psychological pressure.
Liu Hongyi and Liu Zhuwen hurriedly led everyone out of the tent.
The rallying cry sounded again in the barracks.
After the cavalry, the foot soldiers also quickly followed towards Hengshanzhai.
Only this time compared to the coercion in the morning, it is much more murderous.
Inside the Hengshan cottage.
A scout returned to the city to report to Chi Fenggu and others, "General, the Great Song cavalry is coming towards Hengshanzhai!" ”
Chi Fenggu quickly conveyed the news to the generals in the army.
This really frightened the generals of all the tribes.
Of course, they didn't care about letting the soldiers burn and loot, so they immediately ordered the soldiers to be collected.
The internal chaos in Hengshanzhai gradually subsided.
Although Chi Fenggu could not command the soldiers of these tribes, the generals of their tribes could naturally command them.
After the army was assembled, tens of thousands of Dali troops went towards the west gate of Hengshanzhai.
There are countless miscellaneous servants and captive women in the army.
On every grain cart, things are piled up extremely high.
Only these Dali armies are in a hurry.
