Chapter 232: A Backhand
Ma Shilong didn't dare to say that he was a bad person, but he couldn't say that he was a good person. As the chief soldier of a town in the Ming Dynasty, he is not often a martial arts nobleman who has never seen blood, and his current identity is a fight with a knife and a gun. What's more, good people have long since turned into dry bones in this era of war and chaos.
For Ma Dazui's proposal, although Ma Shilong was unbearable in his heart, now is not the time to have a woman's kindness. What's more, history is written by the victors, as long as he fights a big victory under Shengjing City, no one will pestering him too much.
With the departure of a pair of cavalrymen, a large number of slaves were soon brought into the camp. I don't know if these diseases are intentional, every time I take the captured Jiannu around, I have to go around the city gate.
The soldiers who stood on the city wall and were responsible for defending the city, all of them were villagers near Shengjing, and when they saw their families, they were captured by the Ming army, and they were all in a hurry to die. If it weren't for the suppression of the superiors, someone would have gone to the rescue a long time ago. The generals defending the city saw that their men were disheartened, and hurriedly reported the matter to Hauge.
Hauge was also very concerned about this matter, standing on the city wall and constantly looking at the situation under the city. I saw a pair of horsemen showing off their might and pressing hundreds of civilians passing in front of me, and those women, children, and old people who were walking slowly with knives from time to time.
"Damn, how dare those bright dogs do this."
Hauge's eyes showed anger, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth, as did the rest of the generals.
Fan Wencheng looked at the reaction of Brother Hao and the lieutenant general, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, when Brother Hao put forward this opinion, he clearly opposed it, you must know that Ma Shilong on the other side is not a soft-hearted person, and using such a method will only backfire.
Now it seems that things are as he expected, but to his surprise, Ma Shilong actually thought of a way to deal with it so quickly. Originally, I thought that he would be able to react in at least two days, so it seems that the Ming army on the other side is not a simple person.
In the main hall, Brother Hao suppressed the agitated lieutenant general and wanted to propose a way to open the city to rescue, and now Ma Shilong couldn't wait to open the city gate by himself to fight with the other party.
Since the current initiative is not in their own hands, the ideas of Hauge and the others are tantamount to whimsy, and after discussing for a long time, they have not discussed a good result.
"Baylor, the top priority now is to pacify the soldiers in the city, and as for going out of the city to rescue, it is absolutely impossible."
Fan Wencheng stood up and said softly.
"Fan Wencheng, what do you mean by this? Man, the people of my Dajin Kingdom are slaughtered by the Ming army, I think you are in Cao Ying's heart in Han."
Regarding Fan Wencheng, as a Han Chinese, he was able to gain the trust of Huang Taiji and Nurhachi, and the generals naturally had some dissatisfaction in their hearts. However, because Fan Wencheng is still relatively good at being a person over the years, and he is usually very low-key, he can't find any excuse for a while.
"In that case, it is better for Ali to rush out of the city gate single-handedly and rescue those people."
Fan Wencheng snorted coldly, watching Ah Li, who was just a little Niu Lu, actually lose his temper at himself, knowing that he was too tolerant of the other party in the past, so much so that he let the other party kick his nose in the face, and even a little Niu Lu felt that he pointed at his nose.
Fan Wencheng's sudden anger made everyone a little unable to react, and they looked sideways one by one. As for Ah Li, who was scolded by Fan Wencheng, his face was even red, and he couldn't speak several times.
"Okay".
Seeing that the enemy was in front of him, and the people under his hands were still fighting with each other one by one, Brother Hao's face suddenly felt a little unbearable.
"Ah Li's following crimes are the most unforgivable, but the enemy is now, so I will exempt you from this responsibility, and if this battle is unfavorable, you will be punished for several crimes."
Fan Wencheng is also left to him by his father Khan, and maintaining Fan Wencheng is equivalent to protecting his father Khan, not to mention that Fan Wencheng is also an official with a grade in the city, and it is not a small Niu Lu who can be blamed at will.
Ali hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The slave knows his guilt, thank the master for his great virtue."
After everyone discussed to no avail, they could only wait and see tomorrow to see what Ma Shilong did. And on the night of the same day, more than a dozen Jiannu soldiers, because of their hatred, quietly killed, dozens of Han people who were forcibly requisitioned to the city wall to defend the city, and hung their bodies above the city gate, wanting to vent the depression in their hearts, and even made a trace of provocation to the Ma Shilong army outside the city.
And in the early morning of the second day, the Ming army outside the city naturally saw the corpses of those Han people hanging on the city wall.
Ma Shilong was very annoyed when he saw this, but he didn't expect that he hadn't done it yet, and Haoge was one step ahead of himself. He directly ordered more than 100 women, children and elderly people to be captured from the captives in the camp, and beheaded directly in front of hundreds of slaves under the city gate, and their bodies were discarded under the city gate at will.
As for Brother Hao, it was too late when he knew about this, and he wanted to punish those soldiers who killed people at will, but he was stopped by Fan Wencheng.
"Baylor, this must not be done. Now the people in the city are already impetuous, and if they punish the soldiers who defend the city at will, it will inevitably make everyone feel cold, not to mention that this matter has already happened, and there is no intention to say more, as long as you order to prevent this from happening again."
Under Fan Wencheng's persuasion, Haoge suppressed the anger in his heart, and only ordered the generals in charge of defending the city to prevent this from happening again.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Ma Shilong's army began to line up, looking like it was going to attack the city wall. At the front of the army were women, children, and old men composed of Jiannu, who were carrying the ladders they had made, and were slowly approaching the city wall under the expulsion of the army.
The soldiers defending the city did not dare to make mistakes, and hurriedly dispatched troops. Just looking at the women, children and old people who were driven away at the front, I really didn't know if I could let go of the bow and arrow in my hand. The soldiers defending the city also knew that this was not a decision they could make, and hurriedly reported the matter to Brother Hao. This is also a good way to shirk responsibility.
As for Brother Hao, he was in great pain in his heart, but he didn't expect to lift a stone to hit his own foot today, but unfortunately he had to take it if he didn't take it.
Looking at the people who were moving slowly under the city wall, they were very entangled for a while.
"Order the archers ......".
Several times the archers were ordered to fire arrows at the people under the city, but several times they stopped.
The biggest difficulty in life is this, once he orders a holiday, he will also do it, but if he doesn't let go of the arrow, the city will be broken at this time.
When Brother Hao was still entangled, he was driven down by the Ming army, and those Jiannu people had already put the ladder on the city wall.
As for the Ma Shilong army behind him, he was even more happy to see the hunt, and the army quickly approached the city wall, quite a feeling of taking advantage of the chaos.
cough cough cough, just when Brother Hao was hesitating, suddenly there was a coughing sound around him.
