There is a seventh-level floating slaughter in the city, but what Guo Shao saw on the top floor of the Buddhist floating slaughter was killing.

From here, you can see the whole of Zhuozhou, but too far away, you can only see the city towers and houses, and you can't see what is happening in the streets and alleys. Fortunately, the cavalry of the Liao army entered the city from the south gate and only spread in the local areas south and east of the city.

There was smoke everywhere, and some houses were on fire. The centaurs are even more turbulent, and the scene in front of them ...... It's like a modern city rush hour when a disaster such as an earthquake suddenly strikes, and people run in panic.

At this moment, a herald rushed up the seventh floor in one breath, holding his chest and gasping for breath, while saying: "General Yang (Yang Biao)'s people have already sent reinforcements from the middle road to the old water canal, and sent me back to report the news. ”

Guo Shao only nodded slightly, then left the window, looked for it on a large piece of paper on the ground, and drew a horizontal line in one place with the brush in the inkstone.

The surrounding soldiers and heralds couldn't understand what Guo Shao had drawn at all, and they saw circles, forks, and lines of different lengths on the paper.

There are no furnishings inside this kind of tower, and they are narrow and high. The windows under the four are just holes, and there are no window sashes, which are really ventilated on all sides. Guo Shao raised his head and listened to the movement in the city for a moment; Then he looked at the paper again, and then tore off a page from the booklet he was holding and put it in his pocket.

He made some trivial movements, but he didn't say a word, and the soldiers next to him didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere was very weird...... Because Guo Shao was still chanting words, as if he was praying or cursing, no one could understand what he was reading.

In fact, when a person moves trivially and completely disregards his appearance, his heart is very nervous.

After a while, he suddenly stood up, exhaled heavily, and pressed his hand against the purple ayara loincloth around his waist, which had some crooked flowers...... It is not known why the general of the forbidden army wore this kind of waist ornament, anyway, the embroidery is very ugly, almost embroidered by a woman who does not know needlework.

"Gone." Guo Shao said. Then he led a group of entourages and went straight down the pagoda.

There were some soldiers leading horses below, and when they saw Guo Shao coming out, they hugged their fists and said: "Guo Dashuai" and "Lord"......

Guo Shao took the reins, turned over the brown horse given to him by Dong Zunxun, looked back left and right, and said, "Let's go to the front line and have a look." After saying that, he patted his horse and left, and the army followed, and soon more horse troops, totaling about two or three hundred horsemen, followed one after another, hugging Guo Shao to the southeast.

They took a clever route, and on the tower they saw that the streets were full of people; But along the way, there were no rebels, and the people were not even now hiding at home and trembling.

and the old aqueduct...... It was the west bank of the sewage canal, but I saw that a large group of Liao cavalry in front of me had been blocked from several sides, and the street entrance was full of infantry in a phalanx. Heavy infantry in infantry armor with spears in front, several columns in depth blocked in the middle of the street, advancing one by one; The archers, instead, were behind, throwing into the air. The infantry attacked slowly, but as steadily as a steel wall.

The cavalry would have suffered a great loss when attacking this kind of phalanx head-on, or it was unlikely that it would have won at all; Moreover, the Liao cavalry was on the street, very dense and crowded, and he couldn't run, and there was no way to take the Zhou army's infantry camp. Liao cavalry can only ride and shoot while retreating...... But apparently they had nowhere to retreat, otherwise they wouldn't have been so crowded.

The two armies fought intensively for a long time. Suddenly, a man in the Liao army shouted in Chinese: "Surrender!" Surrendered, the strong men of the Great Zhou spared their lives! ”

Then there was a burst of shouting, and the arrows of the Liao cavalry stopped one after another, but they were still watching. Yang Biao's voice came from Zhou Jun's side: "Stop." ”

After a while, a bearded Khitan man and a Han man wearing a hat stepped forward on horseback. The Han man dismounted and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly: "The honorable commander of the Great Zhou Army, Xiao Xige, the general of the cavalry of the Liao State, admits defeat. As long as the Zhou army promised not to kill the Liao soldiers, he was willing to lead the army to surrender to the main general of the Zhou army in Zhuozhou. ”

Guo Shao was far behind, but his eyesight was excellent, and he could probably see clearly the Liao military general riding next to the Han people, and the Khitan people bowed to this side with their hands crossed on their chests, which should be a salute. But I saw that the Khitan people's beard was very hard, and the camp had to stand as ugly as a hedgehog.

At this time, Yang Biao didn't say a word, and directly accepted the surrender of the Liao army and asked them to disarm.

After tossing for a long time, the cavalry of the Liao army threw their weapons in the middle of the street, and the horses drove out, and the people leaned on both sides, leaving a gap in the middle. The commander of the Liao army here, called "Brother Xiao Xi", led dozens of generals and was brought over.

Yang Biao took control of the situation, and then rode his horse to Guo Shao: "Big brother, what to do with them?" ”

Guo Shao suddenly remembered the survivors he had seen at Mrs. Chen's house in Tokyo, and what had happened to them. At the moment, he was furious and said: "The generals are tied up, and all the rest are killed, so you don't have to take care of the prisoners!" Tell the brothers, cut off the head and go back, and ask the official family for a reward. ”

After hearing this, the general gave an order: "Kill!" ”

Before the people on either side could react, they heard a dense string sound, and many arrows flew in the air first. Yang Biao shouted: "The head of the Khitan soldiers, take it back is ten silk horses!" Suddenly, there was a shout in the camp of the Zhou army, and the army rushed to swarm up.

The streets and alleys immediately became hell on earth.

Those Liao cavalry had no horses, their weapons were still in the middle of the street, the crowd was chaotic, and only a very few people had regained their weapons. Guo Shao looked up and saw a Zhou soldier pressing a Khitan man, and another helper next to him was holding a waist knife and sawing desperately on the Khitan man's neck. The screams were very loud, and the Khitan people did not die, they struggled in fear, and blood was tossed everywhere.

More Zhou soldiers stabbed to death and then cut off their heads, and the frenzied crowd poked people with spears, and the air was filled with blood mist, and blood flowed everywhere on the ground.

It's so crazy and ridiculous, and many people have bloody human heads on their belts! Some of the Zhou soldiers even threw away their long weapons so that they could carry more heads in sacks.

Brother Xiao Xi, who had the hard beard, looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, shouting and fluttering angrily, but there was no way to be tied up and guarded.

Guo Shao asked, "What is Liao talking about?" ”

Yang Biao said with an innocent face: "It seems to be saying that people's brains are poured with boiling oil and it is delicious, why do you want to cut it off!" ”

The surrounding Zhou army generals laughed when they heard this, and another general coaxed: "I think he is saying, after giving so many heads, can you share dividends?" ”

Guo Shao didn't smile, his face was a little pale. It was refreshing to give the order in a fit of rage just now, but soon the bloodshed in front of him made him realize that this massacre was caused by his words...... Whether it was right or wrong, should or shouldn't, Guo Shao had never slaughtered so many people. Even if there are occasional tens of thousands of people in the war with Shu, not many of them are really killed.

The bloody scene continued, and Guo Shao felt dizzy and couldn't say what he felt.

As the saying goes, "one will make ten thousand bones dry", and I am afraid that 10,000 corpses will be caused in Zhuozhou City in one day!

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the Han "translator" who had surrendered just now could understand Chinese, so he looked for the Han man in the crowd and said, "If you want to speak, you don't need to translate to the Khitans." ”

When the Han man saw that the general of the Zhou army was looking at him, he immediately knelt on the ground with a white face and said, "Dashuai spare his life!" I was forced. ”

Guo Shao said: "Don't worry, if I don't kill you, your head is worthless." ”

"Thank you for the grace of not killing." The man hurriedly kowtowed, "The grass people are from Youzhou, Youzhou has fallen for 20 years, and everyone has to live a life, there is really no way to serve the Liao people." ”

Guo Shao remembered Xiao Siwen, but no one knew him...... It is also difficult to communicate with the Khitans. At that moment, he said, "Get up, you are just a translator...... By the way, where is Xiao Siwen, the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard? ”

The man hurriedly got up, stepped forward and said, "The king of the Southern Courtyard didn't enter the city, but Brother Xiao Xi, who surrendered just now, is a general under Xiao Siwen!" ”

Seeing the disappointed expression on Guo Shao's face, the Han people hurriedly said: "Brother Naxi killed an unknown number of Han'er, and this morning he also slaughtered a village outside Zhuozhou City. The general caught him, better than Xiao Siwen. Brother Xi is very cruel, I have heard some things about him, I have arrested a team of southern businessmen before, tortured other people's concubines to death, and sent them back to extort money......"

When Guo Shao heard this, he immediately became interested in Brother Naxi, and pointed to the hard-bearded man: "Is that him?" ”

The Han people nodded as if the chicken was pecking rice, so Guo Shao asked someone to drag Brother Naxi out. He glanced at the bloody streets in front of him again, and thought: thousands of people have been killed, and there will be no more dozens.

Immediately, he ordered dozens of surrendered generals of the Liao people to be cut down, and only Xige was captured alive.

The army killed all the way, Guo Shao followed, arrived at the canal, looked down, and saw that countless Khitans had jumped into the canal. But the canal was very narrow, and the Zhou troops on both sides of the bank could poke it with a long spear, and there were people on both sides, holding spears and stabbing them indiscriminately. The Khitans were filthy and screaming, and they hid in it, and those who didn't dodge were hit by spears and fell into the sewage. The muddy and dirty water swayed and splashed already blood-red.

When Guo Shao looked back, headless corpses were discarded everywhere on the street, not to mention how cruel this scene was.

The fighting lasted until dusk, and the men and horses of the Liao army entering the city basically did not go out, the four gates were blocked, and perhaps a few people were hiding in some places in the city...... But sooner or later, they will be found, and the lonely Liao soldiers, the people can also kill them.

Guo Shao is not ready to continue cleaning up the battlefield...... The whole city was fighting all day, and the number of battlefields was too scattered, and he still couldn't figure out how many Liao troops he had captured. The Khitans plus the Xi soldiers should have a total of thousands, or tens of thousands, anyway, the gains are very rich; It is greater than the result of a decisive battle of more than 100,000 troops of the Zhou army! This is definitely the first major victory since the Northern Expedition; If Huainan's credit is greater, and everyone is reasonable, then the first credit of the Northern Expedition must be Guo Shao's.

In addition to the number of enemy soldiers killed, a lot of horses were also captured. At least a few thousand horses, Guo Shao still doesn't know how many.

He had already figured out how to get out of Zhuozhou.
