"Jingle Bell. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

With a soft sound, a blood-drenched decapitation knife was thrown next to Tan Tai's headless corpse lying on the ground.

"You come first."

Li Xiao pointed his finger at Karamu, making Karamu tremble as if he had been electrocuted.

Under Li Xiao's knife-like gaze, Karamu, who was kneeling on the ground, got up tremblingly, came to Tan Tai's corpse, and picked up the head knife tremblingly, the tip of the knife was aimed at Tan Tai's arm, his lips trembled, but he couldn't get off the knife.

Seeing this, Li Xiao whispered to Chata.

Chata strode over, and immediately said in a vicious voice to the surrendered Qing army, including Karamu: "General Li said that each person should cut meat at least one or two times at a time, and it can only be completed in a few to five strokes, and if the knife is not used after the time, it will be beheaded immediately!" ”

The surrendered Qing army suddenly moved, Karamu's eyes were full of tears, and his hand holding the knife was shaking violently.

"One, two, three。。。。。。" Chatta's voice sounded coldly and emotionlessly.

"Master, I'm sorry."

After Karamu's heart flashed through these words, he gritted his teeth, and slashed down with his sword, cutting a long piece of flesh from Tan Tai's arm.

Then, for fear that Li Xiao would not be able to see, he faced Li Xiao, stuffed the cut piece of meat into his mouth desperately, swallowed it heavily, choked and rolled his eyes, and tears and snot gushed out together.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded to him with satisfaction.

"Next!" Chatta's voice sounded coldly again.

One Qing army after another came over, silently cutting meat and devouring it, and no one dared to disobey Li Xiao's military orders.

Some of the Qing soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, so they only ate half of it, and then vomited it out, and immediately Li Xiaojun's soldiers came over, kicked and beat him hard, and forced them to eat the vomit again.

A few people were tough and did not comply, and at this time, in the hands of Li Xiao's soldiers on the side, the shining sword light swung down, and the head fell to the ground in an instant.

Eat, and you live.

If you don't eat, you're dead.

This is the cruel choice that Li Xiao gave them.

Soon, in less than an hour, all the Manchurian soldiers, Mongolian soldiers, and Han soldiers had eaten, and Tan Tai was left with only a dark red skeleton, including all the internal organs and sewerage, which were eaten alive by the soldiers under him.

Li Xiao's eyes were like knives, his face was cold, but he was secretly sighing in his heart, for these murderous beasts without blinking, for these Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han soldiers whose hands were stained with the blood of our Han people, only with cruel and disgusting methods than them could they deter these vicious humanoid beasts.

In addition, Li Xiao also hopes that with this cruel and perverted means, these Qing soldiers who may still be dissatisfied and even secretly resentful will completely break off the idea of returning to the Qing Dynasty, and can only follow Li Xiao to the end.

Because of the strict military discipline of the Qing Dynasty, if the main general dies in an army, all his relatives and retinue will be killed. Now, these Qing soldiers who surrendered to Li Xiao have actually eaten the flesh and blood of the main general, which can be described as a heinous crime, and there is no possibility of returning to the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the officials of the Supervision Department had also reported the casualties and captures of the battle.

In this battle, a total of 305 Manchurian Yellow Banner soldiers, 182 Mongolian soldiers, 185 Han troops, 270 surrendered Ming troops, 610 captured Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner soldiers, 465 Mongolian soldiers, 473 Han troops, and 1540 surrendered Ming troops.

The reason why there was a loss of heads was because the Qing army that fell from the city at the beginning, many people's heads were smashed by the collapsed city wall, and it was impossible to distinguish them, and it was estimated that the imperial court would not admit it, so they had to give up beheading.

Then the seizures were: 720 taels of gold, 76,400 taels of silver, 120,000 stones of grain and grass, more than 2,200 horses of silk brocade, armaments, swords, banners, and armor.

The battle losses of Li Xiaojun's army were as follows: 30 shield soldiers were killed and 55 were wounded, 38 spearmen were killed and 52 were wounded, and 5 people were killed and 8 were wounded in the sentry battle. The rest of the army suffered no losses.

This siege battle can be called a complete victory for Li Xiaojun. The losses of the army and soldiers are simply not worth mentioning compared to the Qing army.

In fact, if Li Xiao was willing to lose and continued to bombard with earth-shattering thunder, his military losses would be even less.

After listening to the report of the Supervision and Restoration Division, Li Xiao had a satisfied look on his face.

He ordered that these heads should be immediately made of lime, and the dead bodies of the Qing army would all be cremated, and the ashes after cremation would be scattered into the wasteland outside the city.

Li Xiao's soldiers who died in the battle, Li Xiao also arranged for people to be cremated separately, and the ashes were put into urns, ready to be brought back to Jintang City and enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine.

As for the bereavement pension and war merit awards, Li Xiaojun has long had a fixed system arrangement, so Li Xiao does not need to worry about these tasks.

After explaining the relevant matters, Li Xiao noticed that Du Shi, Du Shaoru and others, who had been watching silently, were all pale and almost colorless.

Especially Du Shaoru, who was desperately swallowing saliva to control the strong spasms in his stomach. The eyes in his eyes that looked at Li Xiao were full of fear and disgust.

Li Xiao sneered in his heart.

He secretly thought, perhaps, this guy who was imprisoned in Jinjiazhuang Fort by Li Xiaoqiang that day, saw his own bloody and perverted methods today, and he was afraid that when he heard Li Xiao's name in the future, he would be so frightened that his emotions would lose control.

Li Xiao stood up, walked to Du Shi, whose legs were still trembling, and said softly: "Commander Du, the war is over here, and the town has been recaptured, you can go back to the Longmen Guard." In this way, in order to thank you for sending information and leading the way, I will send you 100 heads of Han soldiers, 30 heads of Mongols, and 20 heads of Manchurian soldiers, which should be enough to cover your defeat and loss of the city, and the title of official is not a problem, so you can take these heads back to Longmen Guard. ”

Du Shi, who had just seen enough of the bloody and cruel scenes, wished to leave this slaughterhouse as soon as possible, and now Li Xiao had many heads to give away, Du Shi was overjoyed, and with a little humility, he accepted the 150 new nitrate heads, took Du Shaoru and others, and hurriedly left.

Seeing Du Shi and the others rushing west, a faint smile appeared on Li Xiao's face.

The reason why Li Xiao hurriedly sent Du Shi and the others away was that in his heart, he had a bolder plan to be prepared to implement.

If this plan is to be implemented, the more secretive the better. Therefore, if Du Shi and dozens of his remnants stay in the city on the edge of the town, they will only cause trouble.

This plan, in Li Xiao's words, is three words, Infernal Affairs.

Li Xiao's plan was inspired by the Qing army disguised as the Ming army to seize the city.

Now Li Xiao plans to return his body in his own way.

Li Xiao's specific method was that Li Xiao's whole army would no longer continue to go to Beijing, but would stay in the border of the town on the spot, and continue to disguise the border city of the town as occupied by the Qing army.

Li Xiao hoped that the border city of the town would be turned into a secret fish basket, and the large and small Qing troops in the vicinity and passing by would be lured into the basket like swimming fish, and secretly killed them.

Perhaps, in the future, this fish basket carefully designed by Li Xiao will be able to catch bigger big fish.

Soon, the infantry of Li Xiaojun, who was deployed at the head of the city, changed into the armor of the Manchurian Yellow Banner infantry, and the east and west city gates were still flying high with the Yellow Banner military flag, while the damaged West Gate city wall and city gate were urgently repaired by auxiliary soldiers wearing Mongolian soldiers and Han army armor.

From the outside, the entire city looked no different from a castle normally occupied by the Qing army.

Li Xiao planned to detain them for a few days first, and after the wounded soldiers in the fort recovered, he would let them return to Jintang City with the wounded soldiers, so as to save food consumption for the border city of the town.

Among these captives, Li Xiao left Karamu alone, following him.

Li Xiao, who was dressed in Tan Tai's gilded yellow steel armor, looked at his tall and handsome appearance in the bronze mirror, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When it's true, it's also false.

The Qing army, who was plundering in the Gyeonggi Prefecture, probably never thought that in this town border city, it was the Ming army Li Dai Taozhuang.

"Master, you are wearing Tan Tai's armor, but you are even more handsome and brave." Karamu said to Li Xiao in stiff Chinese with a flattering face.

Li Xiao snorted, turned around, patted Karamu's shoulder lightly and said, "Remember, don't call the master in the future, this soldier doesn't like this title, you can call this soldier Li Zongbing or Master Li in the future." ”

Seeing that Li Xiao showed a little closeness, Karamu suddenly looked happy, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Okay, the slave has written it down, and I will call you Master Li in the future." “

Seeing that the old Manchurian customs of Karamu were difficult to change for a while, Li Xiao didn't bother to correct him anymore, he made a gesture of false support, asked him to get up, and then asked in a casual tone; "Karamu, after the Qing army captured the city on the edge of the town that day, in addition to these remaining soldiers and horses, there were also many soldiers who went out to plunder, right?"

Karamu hurriedly said: "Lord Li, that's exactly the case, the soldiers who were plundered outside were 500 Manchurian soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner, 800 Mongolian soldiers, and 800 Han soldiers, and they were scattered in the villages and towns near the border of the town. ”

Li Xiao sighed and asked, "Is there a way to summon them back to the edge of the town?" ”

Karamu said: "Lord Li, on that day, Tan Tai had agreed with the generals who went out to plunder that the time for going out to plunder is limited to five days, and he will return to the border city of the town after the expiration. ”

Karamu paused, and then volunteered: "If you want to recall them, why don't you send me as an envoy, and bring some people who understand Manchu, pretend to be Qing troops, go to the villages and towns on the edge of the town one by one, and pretend to pass on military orders, and then you can recall them." ”

Li Xiao saw that Karamu was so anxious, and wanted to use the heads of his former teammates and partners to make meritorious contributions, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Karamu, your method is not bad. In this way, this soldier sent a team of cavalry pretending to be the Qing army, and went to various villages and towns to recall the Qing army who went out to plunder, and you also went with the army, and in the future, you will do a good job for this officer, but this official will not lose your benefits. ”

Karamu looked happy, and knelt down again: "Slave Xie Li Lord reuse!" We must do our best and swear to repay each other! ”

Li Xiao nodded, waved his hand to let Karamu retreat, and then let Wu Zhuang and Ebilun come in, and explained to them, with Wuzhuang as the captain and Ebilun as the deputy captain, with 300 flying harriers and light horses, all of them changed to wear the armor of the Manchurian Zheng Yellow Banner cavalry, and went to the villages and towns on the border of the town, found the Qing troops in those towns and cities, and asked them to give up the plunder and return to the towns and cities as soon as possible.

Wu Zhuang and Ebi Lun both promised loudly. It's just that when he heard that Li Xiao arranged for Nakaramu to go with him, Wu Zhuang frowned.

"Lord Li, this person has just joined our army, and his mind is unknown, if he is allowed to take the opportunity to escape, won't the consequences be serious?" Wu Zhuang whispered the worries in his heart.

"Wu Zhuang, you are too worried, that Karamu killed his own master and led the army to surrender, he has completely cut off his own back road, and he has nowhere else to go except to serve our army loyally in order to be promoted. This person is still worth believing. Li Xiao said with a smile.

Wu Zhuang still had doubts, and was about to speak, and said on the side: "Master Li, Captain Wu, don't worry about the two of you, that Karamu is just a villain who is good at greeting Tan Tai, but martial arts are very common." If he still dares to escape, I will shoot him to death with an arrow first, and then behead him to see General Li! ”

Seeing that Ebilun also spoke like this, Wu Zhuang had nothing to say, so together with Ebilun, he selected 300 flying harriers, changed the armor of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner cavalry, and carried the yellow silk cloth Feilong military flag of the Zhenghuang Banner, and then took Karamu, and then swaggered out of the city.

。。。。。。

In the evening, Liujiazhuang, which was sixty miles away from the border city of the town, was surrounded by thick smoke and flames, and the village had been burned to the ruins by the plundered Qing army.

Throughout the village, corpses were piled with weres and blood flowing, and the atrocious crimes of the Qing army were indicted everywhere.

The village was plundered by a Han army of about 100 people, who came out of the village with a smile on their faces, drove carts full of grain and goods, and led a long line of bound and hundreds of sturdy adult people, who were crying loudly, and left the village triumphantly.

The leader of the Han army, Zhang Scar, although he was strong, had a lewd face, he sat on a short horse, looking at the captured goods and people, with a satisfied and happy expression.

Zhang Scar enjoys the current Han army career very much, especially loves this kind of captivity of villages and towns, he feels that such a large amount of money, food and treasures, and can kill those Han people at will, such a day, is really the greatest enjoyment of life.

He thought happily in his heart, although he was a lowly slave in front of the Manchurians, but in front of these defenseless Han people, it was a fierce god-like existence!

"Hurry the fuck, make sure to get to the next village before it gets dark today, but don't let his soldiers get it first!" Zhang Scar shouted orders to his soldiers.

After listening to Zhang Scar's military order, the soldiers of the Han army under his command began to pick up their leather whips one after another, and beat the people more fiercely, squeezing the people who staggered one after another, and the crying sound of extreme sorrow was heartbreaking.

At this time, Zhang Scar suddenly saw that in the distant billowing smoke and dust, the cavalry of the brigade was coming towards him quickly.

"Boss Zhang, the person who came seems to be a Manchurian soldier with a yellow flag!"

A Han soldier with sharp eyes immediately shouted.

Zhang Scar looked at the pergola with his hands in confusion, and muttered in his mouth: "Hey, it's really, it's strange, aren't these Manchurian uncles in the town border city, how did they come here?" ”

He was puzzled when the three hundred cavalrymen with the Yellow Banner had arrived at a galloping horse, and with a shout, the whole team was not far in front of Zhang Scar, strangling the horses' hooves.

"Who's your leader?!"

Dressed in a yellow flag armor, he looked around at the Han soldiers who were stunned, and shouted loudly.
