Chapter 470: Siege VII
In the Tartar military camp outside Suzhou, the decadent atmosphere after the failure of the siege spread in the military camp, and I saw that outside the main camp, several Han generals who were responsible for the attack were all barebacked, kneeling in front of the camp tent, and were whipped by the Tartar soldiers with leather whips.
Looking at this scene, countless Han troops were dejected, they were all the Great Song Dynasty army, I thought that in the Great Song Dynasty, such a noble and martial arts were light, and the martial artists did not live like people, but after surrendering, I found that it was not as good as before, and it was just a matter of attacking my compatriots, but after these people worked hard, in the eyes of the Tartars, they were not as good as the war horses in the army, and even the characters like the generals had to be whipped by the Tartars, what are they in the eyes of those Tartars?
But now, even if they are remorseful, they have surrendered to the Tartars, and there is no way back, and all they can do is to make the meat shield cannon fodder for the Tartars to attack the city and plunder the city. Thinking back to fighting the Tartars by myself, my waist was hard and straight enough at that time, but now? Countless Han soldiers signed non-commissioned officers, and their eyes gradually dimmed.
In the main tent, Lu Erchi looked at the Han army generals who were kneeling outside the account and were tortured, and sneered, "It's really a group of wrecks, just a Suzhou city, the defenders are all some people, and our army's Shenwei artillery helps, it can still be like this, it is a group of sheep, and the city should have been knocked down a long time ago." What are these fools kept? General, if you want me to see it, it's better to cut them all, every day I watch them attack the city, I look at it and hold my breath! ”
The Tartar Lord leaned back in his chair, and when he heard Ruerchi say this, he sneered, "What? Do you still hold a grudge against Li Song? The Han people are just our dogs, do you want to kill the dog because it can't catch up with its prey? The next time there is prey, will you chase it? ”
As he spoke, he stood up, came to Lu Erchi's approach, and looked at him coldly, "Lu Erchi, you remember for me, I don't mind you slaughtering Han people at will, but if you are still so disregarding the overall situation at a critical juncture, I will be the first to cut you." ”
Listening to the words of the main general, Lu Erchi was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Immortal Heaven is above, I, Lu Erchi, can sacrifice my life for the Tuo clan, and I am even more loyal to the general, if you are a hunter, I am the hound under your feet, I am willing to catch the most ferocious prey for you and offer you the most delicious flesh and blood." ”
The general glanced at Lu Erchi, and sat back in his chair, "It's good that you know, Lu Erchi, the role of the Han people is to help us cripple the southerners, and we are exhausted from fighting, and we are attacking in the back, so that our warriors will not lose their lives needlessly." After all, there are many more Han people in the world than us. ”
When Lu Erchi heard the general say this, although he bowed his head and did not dare to speak, he still muttered, "What are the Han people afraid of?" Wouldn't it be okay to kill fewer of them than we do? ”
The general's ears are also very sensitive, and when he heard Ruerchi say this, he raised his foot and kicked him to the ground, "What do you know? Although the Khan is also slowly slaughtering the Han people, but he does not dare to do too much, you must know that in history, the Han people have also given such an ethnic group as me to rule, and they are also the same as us, wantonly slaughtering the Han people, doing more ruthless than us, more desperate, when the Han people were about to be killed, there was a demon king among the Han people, killing the ethnic group, killing the ethnic group, and killing the ethnic group. Now the Han people don't resist, because we didn't explicitly exterminate their ancestors, if we have done it, we are forcing out such a character, now we are not afraid, but what about our descendants? ”
After speaking earnestly, the general looked at Lu Erchi's ignorant appearance and shook his head, "Saying these things to you stupid person is really telling a pig,"
But he didn't pay attention to Lu Erchi, and said to the guards next to him, "You will go to the Han army to sign the military camp in a while, if they can sign the army to break through Suzhou City, I will allow them to not seal the sword in Suzhou for three days, and everything they get will belong to them, if they can't capture Suzhou City tomorrow, those who retreat will be killed!" ”
When the Tartar military order arrived at the Han army to sign the army, the military camp was in an uproar, the conditions after the siege were rich, but that also had to be taken by life, although those people in Suzhou City were all strong, but those people were also considered to be dead soldiers, today's battle of Nancheng, even if the Han army attacked the city wall, or was killed by these rookies on the battlefield, although the benefits of this Tartar are big enough, but how many lives have to be taken to fill it.
The Tartar guards didn't stay long, but just glanced coldly at the Han generals who were dragging their injured bodies and kneeling, and said coldly, "Tomorrow, the siege general will let me lead the team to suppress the formation, and wait for the Han army to be a soldier or general, but anyone who retreats, retire a soldier and cut a army, retreat a soldier and cut a capital, and those who retreat an army will be killed by an army, although I don't look down on you Han people, but I don't want to cut off your heads tomorrow." ”
After saying that, he got on his horse and left, and the rest of the people looked at each other and asked the general, "General, what should we do?" ”
The general struggled to stand up from the ground, and the people around him hurriedly helped to support him, and the general stood up, "What else can I do?" Now that the Tartar knife is on your and my necks, where can we retreat? You immediately arrest people everywhere for me, attack the city tomorrow and let these people rush the city, let these people consume the physical strength of the defenders for us first, and the chances of your brothers surviving are also greater! “
The surrounding capital army lords listened to the order, and one by one they hurriedly received orders to go out to find the people. However, since this Tartar came to the outside of Suzhou, it has only been two or three days, because of the arrest of the army, as well as those who went south and fled into the mountains, there are no residents within a radius of dozens of miles.
With the action of the Tartar military camp outside the city, the defenders in the city can be regarded as having gone through the battle formation, more or less knowing the purpose of the other party, the sergeant has been fighting for half a day, and the strength of the soldiers has been exhausted.
As for the people and the government in the city today, half of the reasons for the death war against the Tartars are tossed out by the Tartars themselves, such as the Tartars ranking the Han people as the lowest, for example, the cruel exploitation and suppression of the Han people in the territory, and the slaughter of the city at every turn, so whether it is the peacemaker or the main battle faction in the city, the attitude towards the current Tartars is inclined to defend the city - being captured by the other party and surrendering on their own initiative are not the same. Moreover, the other party has occupied the homeland of Liaojin for so many years, and there is no tendency for the other party to resume the imperial examination and reuse Han humanities.
The sky was getting dark, and the people were barebacked, carrying heavy stones and long logs, and came to the city wall with difficulty, and the sunset in the west sloped, and the blood-red light shone on the shiny backs of these men, as if they were soaked in blood. The Han army outside the city signed the army, and the defenders inside the city had already sharpened their teeth, showing their sharp claws, ready to teach the other party a good lesson tomorrow.
The setting sun finally fell into the woods and mountains to the west, and the remnants of the sunset in the sky stained half of the sky red like a blood-soaked veil.
