Lu Zhongwei climbed down the city wall along the long ladder and led about twenty private soldiers to run wildly towards the mountain not far away.

Not long after they had run away, a cavalry suddenly came from ahead, stepping on the snow and facing them.

Lu Zhongwei's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly turned around and fled to the north.

Even if the horse's speed in the snow is greatly reduced, it can always run faster than on two legs.

Not long after, the Guan Emperor army of the Fifty Tiger and Leopard Battalion chased after him from behind.

"If you can't run away, you can fight with them in formation."

A general called the twenty or so private soldiers and formed a circle on a small dirt slope, protecting Lu Zhongwei in the middle.

When they fled in a hurry, most of them only brought their pocket knives, and only a few of them brought long weapons such as guns and spears.

Most importantly, they did not even have a horned bow and were destined to be a living target.

The Fifty Guan Imperial Army rode their horses, and when they entered thirty or forty steps, they threw their throwing guns in their hands, and then turned their horses' heads, while circling around Lu Zhongwei and others, and at the same time used throwing guns to consume Lu Zhongwei's private soldiers.

Soon, more than 20 private soldiers were basically dead, and even Lu Zhongwei was shot in the thigh and screamed heartbreakingly on the ground.

Emperor Guan's army all knew this official in the official uniform of the crimson painted tiger, and they all remembered his arrogant appearance on the arrow tower.

Soon he was tied up tightly and thrown on horseback and hunched back to Ninghua.

His 20 or so private soldiers were cut off their heads, stripped naked, and buried in a big pit on the spot.

The clothes were also burned by a fire, and not a single one was left.

The blood-soaked snow and dirt on the ground were turned over, burying the bloody dirt and snow into the ground.

Soon, the place was as peaceful and lonely as if nothing had happened.

……

Qin Chuan personally collected the corpses for Fang Renwu and the others, dressed them neatly, and then carried the corpses into the newly nailed coffin with Luo Daniu.

At the same time, there were thirteen Guan Emperor soldiers who died in battle.

Not far away were more than a hundred private soldiers kneeling on the ground trembling, and at the forefront was Lu Zhongwei, who had a spear pierced in his thigh.

The dignified commanders are all in charge, and the local officials of the third grade, Lu Zhongwei, who was invincible just now, are now shaking like a sieve, tears and snot mixed together and dragged into a long line.

Beside him were several stewards sent by Dou Dekangwei Shijie and others, who were surrounded by Luo Daniu and pulled out one by one.

All the hungry people were controlled, and none of them escaped, and Luo Daniu also specially sent a hundred Guan imperial troops to search around to prevent anyone from escaping.

If it is freezing today, there will be no pedestrians within a radius of dozens of miles, and if someone escapes from Ninghua Station or a few military camps, it will also leave obvious footprints on the ground.

After searching several times and repeatedly confirming that no one had escaped, the 100 Guan Imperial Army roamed around, completely blocking the area and not allowing anyone to approach.

After collecting all the corpses into the coffin, Qin Chuan strode towards Lu Zhongwei.

Lu Zhongwei raised his head boldly and said, "Qin Chuan, I am a member of the Zhengsanpin Imperial Court, if you kill me, everyone will be implicated, and your subordinates will have to pay for my lives." ”

"I'm willing to lose money, as long as you let me go, I'll immediately ask someone to send 10,000 taels of silver, a full 10,000 taels, and there will be no less."

"You can pay for my brother's life first."

Qin Chuan said lightly, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him to the neatly arranged sixteen coffins.

Luo Da Niu walked over, grabbed his hair, and stretched his neck.

"You...... What are you doing...... What are you going to do......

Lu Zhongwei wanted to struggle but was tied up tightly, but his whole body was like a sieve, and a pile of water stains suddenly appeared on the ground, as if he was scared to pee.

"I'll send your head to Taiyuan to show Dou Dekang and Wei Shijie."

Qin Chuan raised the long knife in his hand and slashed it fiercely.

"Brothers, the great boss has avenged you."

Luo Da Niu carried the bloody head in his hand and said to the sixteen coffins.

"None of them will be left."

Qin Chuan said lightly, then wiped the bloody long knife in his hand on Lu Zhongwei's third-grade official uniform, and then walked towards the Jujiang Building not far away.

Soon there was a cry and pleading behind him.

Upstairs in the gathering general, Mo Dezai and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people from the Ninghua Institute were huddled together, trembling, and they didn't dare to come out.

Emperor Guan's army had already surrounded this building.

Qin Chuan walked downstairs, put the long knife in his hand back into the scabbard, and said calmly: "Come out, I won't kill you." ”

&nbs-->>

p; The guards upstairs trembled as if they had heard Hades' request for their lives, and many of them cried out in wah.

"You have two options, one is to follow me back to Lou Fu to mine, and the other is to stay in this building and wait to be roasted to death, my patience is only a quarter of an hour."

With that, Qin Chuan stepped aside, sat down on the chair specially moved by Emperor Guan, and waited quietly.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......"

Mo Dezai couldn't bear it first, and crawled down the stairs from the crowd and opened the thick wooden door.

With the first, there will be the second, and the people inside shouted for mercy as they slowly walked out of it trembling.

Not long after, the people inside came out, and many of them were women, children, and children, who should be the family members of some generals, who were kneeling on the ground to ask for mercy.

"Don't make any noise, the generals above the general flag will be listed."

Qin Chuan frowned impatiently and shouted.

The group of people was suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Soon, Mo Dezai and the others walked out cautiously.

There are a total of eight people, in addition to the town magistrate Mo Dezai, there are two hundred households and five general flags.

Qin Chuan glanced at them and said lightly, "I killed Lu Zhongwei." ”

"And the men and horses he brought, three hundred private soldiers and six stewards, none of them were left, and they were all killed."

Although they had already guessed it, Mo Dezai and the others still trembled violently.

"It stands to reason that I should kill you to kill you, but ......"

Before Qin Chuan finished speaking, Mo Dezai and the others knelt on the ground "poof" and kowtowed.

"My lord, spare my life, we don't know anything, we don't know anything, if you dare to say half a word, the sky will thunder and ......"

"Alright, alright." Qin Chuan interrupted them impatiently, "I'm not a person who kills indiscriminately, and I won't kill you, but you have to talk to me about mining and farming, and if your family is in other places, you will also be troubled by Lou Fu." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you don't commit adultery, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and if any of you still want to lead the troops to fight, after a year and a half, I will give you the opportunity to lead the troops, as long as you have the ability, as long as you are willing to follow me well, I will ensure that you will be prosperous and rich for several generations."

"Thank you, sir, thank you for not killing......"

Mo Dezai and the others were grateful, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Get up, all of you, and take off your official uniforms, and hand over your waist cards and edicts, and from now on, my men will do your errands here for you."

"Yes."

Mo Dezai and the others hurriedly got up and took off their official uniforms and waist cards without hesitation.

Qin Chuan explained a few words to Emperor Guan next to him, and then went to arrange other things.

Emperor Guan's army soon got busy, cleaning up the battlefield, making a new gate, priing out most of the lead embedded in the arrow towers and city walls, digging up all the snow and mud with blood stains on the ground, and burying all the bloody soil into the ground.

As for the corpses of Lu Zhongwei and his 300 private soldiers, they were all stripped of their clothes, dug a big pit next to the thousand households and buried them, and burned all the clothes, shoes and hats.

If Qin Chuan doesn't leave any clues, there is no proof of his death.

After working for most of the day, almost all traces of the scene have been erased, except for the door that has not been rebuilt.

For the sake of safety, Qin Chuan drove all the hungry people in several military camps to the Ninghua Institute to spend the night, and arranged for the Guan Emperor's army to guard in shifts day and night, so that no one could escape.

Three days later, Li Dingliang arrived with 500 Imperial Guan troops, a Francophone cannon and 20 flintlock guns.

Today, there are a total of 1,000 Guan Imperial troops in the Ninghua Institute, one tiger squat cannon, one Franco machine gun and fifty flintlock guns.

Qin Chuan did not want so many soldiers and horses to guard the Ninghua Station, but used it to escort the surrendered soldiers and hungry people.

The stakes were so high that he did not dare to be careless, lest someone escape and report it.

He asked Li Dingliang to pretend to be one of the hundred households, led the 300 trap camp to garrison the Ninghua Institute, and also left the tiger squat cannon and the Franco machine gun, and fifty flintlock guns to Li Dingliang.

Ninghua Institute is located in a key place, with Jingle County in the south and Ningwuguan in the north, and its strategic position is very important.

Therefore, this place must be firmly in your own hands, whether Du Yingtang is coming, or Datong's soldiers and horses are coming, they can't be handed over.

After everything was explained, Qin Chuan led 800 Guan Emperor troops, escorted more than 200 guards and 1,000 hungry people, and went to Lou Fu.

Luo Da Niu led 20 horsemen, one man and two horses, carrying 300 heads into the mountain on the east side, and went to Taiyuan along the inaccessible path.

Qin Chuan wanted to hang those heads outside Taiyuan City.

In this way, the officials of Shanxi, Xuanfu, and Datong were told that the era of rivers of blood had come.
