Chapter 70 Casting the Beijing View
It's just that he hasn't waited for this Western Xia guard to react from his panic.
A series of loud shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the outside world, and a large number of soldiers came in from outside with knives.
Hu Poyu was the first to be killed, and the ring-headed knife in his hand was cut out several times, killing one by one the Western Xia soldiers.
After learning that Anping City was attacked by the Tanguts, although he didn't know if his family was okay, the anger in his heart was indescribable, because his home was also in Anping.
This time the Dang Capture Army attacked Western Xia, and he did not hesitate to rush to the front!
He led his converted army to kill in front of Zhuo Luo and the Western Xia guards of the Southern Military Division, and his sword fell, and a good head fell to the ground.
The army of the Dang captives entered the city, and when the Western Xia army was caught off guard, the army controlled the various city gates, and the five hundred Dang captives slaughtered the military camp of Bubazi.
The incomparably powerful Bu Bu Zi who was originally extremely powerful in mountain warfare could not take advantage of the street battles in the city at all, and was soon annihilated in the barracks by the formation.
The Western Xia defenders were divided and annihilated by the Dang Capture Army that entered the city, and the entire Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division was full of fighting and blood, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, illuminating most of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division.
"Kill!"
"Kill Hulu!"
"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”
“……”
The Dang Capture Army forced the entire Western Xia army, which was still resisting in the city, to an open field in the center of the city, and the two sides fought together.
The Western Xia army was really tenacious, and gradually the losses of the captivity army were slowly produced!
Chen Yan ordered musketeers and artillery to step forward for reinforcements.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable......
A crisp gunfire rang out, and the Western Xia army fell in large pieces.
Rumble!
The only artillery was also fired, and a single lead took the lives of dozens of people.
The Western Xia army was forced into an open space in the center of the city, densely packed together, and slaughtered on a large scale by the firearms of the Dang captives.
The fighting did not stop until the light of day, and the entire Zhuo Luo and the Western Xia army in the Southern Army Division were wiped out.
Because Chen Yan controlled the city gate in advance, except for a few lucky people who escaped from the city, there was no longer a living Xixia person in the entire Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division.
Although Chen Yan would not do such a barbaric thing as slaughtering ordinary people, there were basically not many ordinary people in Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division.
The whole city is a large military camp, and basically all of them are Western Xia soldiers!
Therefore, Chen Yan didn't have so many worries when he started it, and chose to slaughter the city.
After all, when the Tangut people were massacring in Anping, they also had no worries!
He Chen Yan is not those soft bone kings and scholars of Zhao and Song, he wants blood for blood and tooth for tooth, how many people in Anping City died at the hands of the Western Xia people, he will take revenge ten times and a hundred times back.
It was dawn, and there were still a few people in the logistics department of the wounded barracks who went out to work, and most of the army began to rest.
"Metropolitan Governor, the results of last night's battle have been counted."
"A total of more than 6,000 people of the Western Xia army were annihilated, and no one was left behind of the 3,000 steps, and our army suffered more than 300 casualties, most of which were wounded, and they could continue to participate in the battle after recovering from their injuries."
Zhou Su said beside Chen Yan.
Chen Yan nodded, but Li Feng on the side was full of shock.
Although he knew that the strength of the Dang Captive Army was terrifying, he didn't expect it to be so terrifying, annihilating six thousand Western Xia troops in one battle, and even three hundred of them.
His own casualties were less than a fraction of the Western Xia army!
"How about General Li Feng, the strength of my Dang Capture Army is not bad, right?"
Chen Yan looked at Li Feng and asked.
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Li Feng admires the combat power of the Dang Army."
Li Feng hugged his fists and said very sincerely, he had just decided to take refuge in the Dang Army, and in order to show his loyalty in the battle last night, he had always been fighting on the front line.
I've really seen what it means to be a division of steel!
What is called devastating, what is called irresistible!
Chen Yan bowed slightly with satisfaction, he also saw Li Feng's performance last night, and he was quite satisfied with Li Feng now.
"Zhou Su, arrange it down, use the corpses of these Western Xia people, and cast Jingguan."
Chen Yan suddenly gave an order very unexpectedly.
The eyes around him were full of surprise and his face was still indifferent, as if he was saying a statement like eating noodles tonight.
Kyokan!
That's a Kyokan!
Today, "Jingguan" is a very obscure term.
"Old Tang Book" volume 199, column biography 149, "Dongyi Liebiography": "In the second year of Zhenguan, the Turkic Jieli Khan was broken, Jianwu sent envoys to congratulate, and the map of the domain was sealed. In the fifth year, the emperor's edict was issued to the commander of the Sima of Guangzhou, and the grandson of the Sui warrior was killed, destroying the Jingguan established by Goryeo. ”
The fifty-fourth chapter of Feng Menglong's "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" in the Ming Dynasty: Pan Dang asked to collect the corpse of the Jin Dynasty and build it as a Beijing view to show martial arts in the world. ”
Du Yungou of the Ming Dynasty "Yuan Jiehuan Jin Da Sima was ordered to return the preface by the brocade" also said: Mr. (Yuan Keli) sealed it, and Jingguan Yue was also. ”
"Jingguan" is synonymous with "Jingzuka", and it is a high mound used in ancient times to declare martial arts, gather the corpses of enemies, and seal the soil.
Usually, the Kyokan Temple, which was built with the corpses of thousands of enemies, makes sense, and the landscape can be simply understood as a tomb where 10,000 people are buried together.
It can be described as extremely barbaric!
But Chen Yan, who has always been gentle and elegant, actually ordered to build a Jingguan, or to use the corpses of the Tangut people, what is this for? !
Declare martial arts?
Everyone felt that it was not, but they couldn't guess what Chen Yan thought.
So in ancient times, why did you build a temple with the corpses of your enemies?
In fact, there are three purposes, the first is to show off their strength and military exploits, the second is to punish and deter the enemy, and finally objectively reduce the probability of the occurrence of the plague.
The construction of the Jingguan seems to be declaring: "Lao Tzu's martial arts are invincible in the world, and the people who are my enemies have seen this Jingguan?" That's the end! ”
The act of building the Kyoto Temple has a long history. In ancient times, some people liked to build a Jingguan and show off their martial arts. There are also people who don't like to build Jingguan, thinking that it hurts benevolence.
And in the Song Dynasty, a dynasty that was weak to the outside world, casting Jingguan seemed to have become an unattainable thing long ago, and under the soft bones of literati and doctors, everyone subconsciously regarded casting Jingguan as an extremely barbaric thing.
Chen Yan wants to cast Jingguan, and everyone subconsciously wants to resist!
"What, have an opinion about my orders?"
Chen Yan glanced at Zhou Su coldly, and Zhou Su hurriedly clenched his fists.
"The Grand Governor, there is no objection from his subordinates."
So saying, he turned and went.
The rest of the people were still looking at each other.
Liu Yueying said tentatively.
"Xianggong, cast Jingguan, it's not necessary."
Chen Yan frowned, but still asked patiently.
"Why?"
"Since ancient times, the viewers of Zhujing have been bleak at night, and you have to think about it."
Liu Yueying persuaded bitterly.
Chen Yan shook his head slowly.
"Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind!"
