Chapter 127: Breaking the City
Someone began to play the horse-head qin or pipa, and the mixture of things was in response to the melodious and sad singing of the man, everyone shed tears, how could they be Mongolian athletes to this point, after the song fell, many teenagers cried and asked their leader for the patriarch's life, whether to advance or retreat to get an idea,
Several leaders and elders sat together and touched their heads, and made up their minds to let the people leave the city gate, and several people went into the city to ask for their lives, so that everyone could stay quiet and not be impatient, and not be rash.
The leaders shouted at the guards in the city, and the guards reported to Boyan Bell, who was worried about this matter and asked them to enter the city to discuss in detail, and ordered the soldiers to strictly guard the city gates, and if anyone rushed to the city without authorization, they did not rush to the city, and they still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that Boyan Bell would never abandon tens of thousands of people and ignore it, and the herd mentality pushed them step by step into the abyss.
Everyone looked at the city gate, there were four gates in the capital, they didn't know where the representatives sent out would come from, they could only wait patiently, about two hours later, these people came out, his beard and clothes were still stained with a little oil star, and when he spoke, he would burp one or two from time to time, no one was jealous, after all, it was normal to go into the city to meet Boyan Bell and be entertained, and the refugees were most concerned about when they would be able to enter the city,
But the news brought out by the leaders made the people fall into despair again, and Boyembel refused to let them enter the city, and these leaders exaggerated the scene inside the city, the city was already out of food, overcrowded, and the streets were full of starvation roads, which was worse than outside the city, in short, it meant that everyone should stay outside the city with peace of mind,
There was a leader who said something he was quite proud of, which he learned from the Han people, he thought that many people did not understand, and said that the crepe of the text can bluff a piece, this word is called "Yi Zi and eat", he said that this is to render the people in the city are not as good as them,
Someone asked, what is called Yizi and eating, the leader explained triumphantly, that is, people are hungry, and they can't bear to kill their own children, so they exchange each other to eat each other's children, everyone looks at each other, everyone has been hungry, but it has not reached such a terrible point, only to hear someone say in the crowd: "I'm afraid that in a few days, we will also eat Yizi." ”
Everyone was in an uproar, what they said was right, in a few days the horses were all eaten, what else could they eat if they didn't eat people, the Mongolian athlete who had never been afraid of heaven and earth began to tremble, the leader obviously didn't expect that his words would lead to such a counterproductive effect, and after a period of panic in his heart, he was furious, and asked a few followers to drag out the man who had just talked,
He asked viciously, "Do you know that you are wrong?" And the man said nothing, and the chief himself raised his whip, and his attendant took off the shirt of the man who spoke with him, and the whip made a crisp sound, and struck the man with blood, until the flesh was blurred.
The young people clenched their fists, they resented that their leader did not meet the wishes of everyone but spread his anger on the common people, what they said was right, this is forcing everyone to death, Yi Zi and food are coming,
After three days, the horse's corpse rotted, and they could no longer find a piece of complete meat, and everyone lay on the ground sick and didn't even bother to speak, and after four days, there was not a drop of horse's blood left, and the rest also emitted a foul smell, people's lips were chapped, and they couldn't even chew those leather goods without water to drink, of course, the only leather goods left now were saddles and belts, which were all made by tanning, and it was difficult to enter at all, and how could the people without water be wrapped in water and swallow them,
Five days later, some people began to die of thirst and starvation, and the people had quietly changed their children and eaten, and finally some people couldn't help it, they didn't dare to go to the Ming army, because it was the enemy, and they would shoot arrows at them without hesitation, and they firmly believed that the people in the capital would not, and the city gate was rumbling with hundreds of flesh and blood, and these people who smashed the door were all hot-blooded young people in various tribes, naturally without fear, and cursed while knocking,
The city guard hurriedly reported to Bo Yan Bell, and after Bo Yan Bell got the order, he scolded angrily: "How can they turn around and deal with their own people if they don't fight the Ming people." "Then after a little thought, the order will go on, if there is any more such a crowd of rebels, kill them,
So, the slaughter began, the original clansmen relatives and friends were divided into two camps, inside the city and outside the city, the people in the city kept throwing torches at the outside of the city, there were also a small number of bows and arrows outside the city, that was just for hunting, and now most of the bows and arrows were burned as firewood for warmth, where was there still the ability to resist, so on the one hand, the situation arose, hundreds of refugees outside the city near the city gate were killed, and the rest of the people also quickly left the gate, hid far away, and stopped shouting, for fear of provoking the defenders of the city,
The man who sang before was holding a corpse, kneeling on his knees with a bloody face, shouting to the city wall: "You are also Yili people, why do you shoot arrows at us, why do you want to kill the people who are also our Yili people." "Everyone is silent, and death fills the city inside and outside the city,
In the middle of the night, a corpse was thrown down in the city, it was a dead person in the city, in fact, the situation in the city was similar to what the leaders said, there were starving people everywhere, and the food had to be eaten by the army, how could anyone take care of the ordinary people, in order to prevent the accumulation of dead bodies in the city and cause the plague, Boyan Bell decided to throw the corpse out, he now hated Zhen Lingdan, because since the confrontation with him, except for Zhen Lingdan who shrank in the city to defend at the beginning, he was pressed to fight by himself, and the loss of the soldiers was greatly injured, and he became the laughing stock of the people in Yili, Now that he is surrounded by groups, there is no way, and the well-prepared defense and counter-assault attack are not used at all, because of the refugees who came from Zhen Lingdan,
A person crawled up from the dead bodies thrown down in the city, he staggered and ran towards the place where the refugees gathered, he told with tears what the soldiers in the city were eating, what they were eating, and how the officials disregarded the life and death of the people, everyone was angry, they roared and gathered to enter the city, not for anything else but to live, the Ming Dynasty and their own hostility, regardless of their own life and death is understandable, but the officials in the city are obviously living a life of fine clothes and food, but they are watching the people die of hunger and thirst, which is beyond words,
The leader came forward, shouting loudly that whoever dared to go would be killed, just when his shouting gradually had some effect, a man rushed forward and broke the leader's neck, everyone was shocked, they never thought of killing their leader, the man was the one who was whipped a few days ago, he rummaged through the leader's body, took out a water bag full of water and a few pieces of naan, and shook it at the refugees around him,
There is no need to say anything more, the refugees have been deceived, and the angry tens of thousands of refugees rushed to the city gate like hungry wolves, they are Mongols, they are born knights, even if they have no horses, they are still fearless knights, and the defenders of the city have not had time to command, and a gate was smashed open alive, not with siege engines, but with the shoulders and fists and even teeth of thousands of people,
The night, the city, broken,
