Chapter 354: The Wildness of Aobai
No wonder the Yizhou soldiers have not moved. It turned out that they betrayed the Qing Dynasty and surrendered the city, and all the Manchurian soldiers in the city were beheaded.
Bolo was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and in the end, he was helpless, and took his more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated generals and ordered someone to carry him back to Beijing......
When Jinzhou City was trapped for four months, it was also known that in the second year of Shunzhi, that is, in the spring of 1645 AD, there was no grain and grass in it, and there were no rescuers outside.
People who died of freezing and starvation were everywhere, and the white bones were everywhere.
Except for the people, everything that can be eaten in the city is now eaten. Those who served as soldiers and generals were starving to the bone. Now Hong Chengchou also has deep eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and a clear face, he seems to be a few years older in a few months.
Prince Azig of England, the first warrior of Manchuria and the commander of the protector army, Aobai, and Hanchen Ma Guozhu, seeing that there was no hope for the rescuers, came to see Hong Chengchou in a group, and suggested that all the soldiers and horses in the city should be killed, and it would be better to die on the battlefield than to sit back and wait for death and be trapped in the city.
Hong Chengchou had no choice but to agree.
After agreeing, they went down to prepare, and made an appointment to open the city on the third watch of the next night.
Now the city is even full of Manchu Qing Tartar generals, with Han soldiers and generals, that is, about 26,000 people, when Lin Yi was trapped, the Qing army in the city was more than 32,000 people, and it has decreased by five or six thousand in a few months. Some took off their military uniforms and became deserters, while others died of starvation due to weakness. Some don't know what the reason is, that is, their whereabouts are unknown, and they evaporate from the world for no reason, and they disappear in the army.
The most significant reduction of these generals is Ma Guozhu's Han generals.
Ma Guozhu was a native of Liaoyang, under the white flag of the Han Army, and an important minister in the early Qing Dynasty. This all-round talent in the humanities and martial arts, in his early years, he made a lot of contributions to Huang Taiji in perfecting the Qing Dynasty system, and was one of the important Han ministers at that time. His contribution was second only to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wani, who was ordered to serve as the governor of Jiangnan and Henan after the Qing army entered the customs, and he was also the first governor after the Qing Dynasty occupied the Liangjiang region. In terms of breaking territory and suppressing the Han people, as the feudal official of the imperial court, he made great contributions, from Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, to Shunzhi and then to Kangxi, he served a total of four emperors in history, and this Han slave was also considered to have done his best for his Manchu master.
The traitor can be regarded as impeccable and incomparable.
This time, Hong Chengchou led the soldiers and horses and stationed them in Jinzhou. Ma Guozhu, as an important general, also came with his Han army with thousands of horses under the white flag.
However, the battle was defeated here, and after Hong Chengchou's four-sided attack strategy was brutally beaten back to the city by Lin Yi's men, his Han army was left with six or seven thousand people under the white flag.
After several months of besieged cities, this is the Han army with a white flag of Han people fleeing to death, and now there are less than 4,000 people.
After Ma Guozhu received the order, he mobilized his 4,000 soldiers. All the generals above 100 participated, and there were dozens of people in the camp tent, but all of them were thin and listless.
Ma Guozhu held a meeting with them to cheer up their spirits, boost their morale, and strive to fight tomorrow night's battle alive to get out of the encirclement.
One by one, the generals bowed their heads and remained silent, knowing what it would mean to go out like this tomorrow night.
When they were trapped in Jinzhou City, tens of thousands of horses and horses failed to kill them in all directions, and now they are hungry and want to eat people. Will such an army be able to win the war? Not to mention that the 100,000 Ming troops outside the city came to besiege them, but with the three deep trenches, they were insurmountable.
Such a breakthrough and fight is tantamount to a collective death.
So that night, Ma Guozhu's subordinates mutinied, first of all, a hundred general risked death to kill the thousand president, this person took the lead, the responders gathered, who was willing to give the Manchu Tartar minions, the key is now suffering from hunger. Tomorrow night we have to go to death collectively, Hengzhi is a death, it is better to give it a go, the surrendered Ming army, open the city gate, maybe be able to escape alive.
Therefore, these Han soldiers responded one after another, picked up swords and guns, and began a killing campaign, and those who obeyed me prospered and those who disobeyed me died.
This Bai Zong didn't expect his influence to be so big, he raised his arms and exhaled, and then rushed into Ma Guozhu's barracks with thousands of people, Ma Guozhu's patrol guards were instantly dispersed, and many of them directly joined the mutiny team, and surrounded Ma Guozhu's sleeping tent inside, Ma Guozhu woke up from his sleep, and his head was chopped off before the sword of self-defense was pulled out.
After these people killed Ma Guozhu, they killed the camp gate and rushed straight to the east city gate, they wanted to open the city gate to escape, or let the Ming army in.
But they say it's rushing, but it's actually very slow. Running slower than walking, including fighting, they also use slow motion.
This is mainly due to malnutrition caused by their chronic hunger, and they are not able to do enough. When they killed, the swords fell slowly and stabbed into them. But in this way, Ma Guozhu's head was cut off, saying that it was chopping, but in fact, it was like a tug-of-war, and it was smashed off.
Just as they were about to rush to the city gate, there was a sudden commotion in the streets, and two armies arrived.
The two armies that came were all Manchurian Tartar troops, the men and horses of the British Prince Azig on the left, and the army of Aobai, the first warrior of Manchuria and the commander of the protector army, came on the right. One after the other, they came here and surrounded these horses.
Ma Guozhu's people and horses lace tossing time is not short, the news quickly spread to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he hurriedly ordered someone to send a letter to Prince Azig and the first warrior of Manchuria, and after the messenger sent by Hong Chengchou arrived, in fact, these two Manchu colleagues also received a report.
The two commanders were also taken aback, and the soldiers mutinied at this time, and the consequences were quite serious, so the two commanders personally led the team to suppress it. Now it's life and death, and the two sides are fighting to the death in the streets.
They can't shout anymore, and the rush is all in slow motion. Because they don't have enough strength, they all want to kill each other and save themselves, but they have more than enough heart and not enough strength. It was ridiculous to make that action, and even the war horse had no strength, and it was walking when it rushed forward.
However, due to the small number of Han Chinese troops who mutinied, the rest of the Han army and the Manchu army that came to suppress it gathered more and more, so these Han troops who turned into mutinies suffered heavy casualties, and their manpower appeared to be smaller and smaller.
The first warrior of Manchuria, Aobai, couldn't even wave the big knife in his hand, so he simply threw the big knife, replaced it with a light and small short knife, and slowly killed two people. But he was stabbed in the body from the front by a mutinous soldier.
If this mutinous soldier had no chance at all in normal times, Ao Bai could kick him away with a kick without a knife or gun, at least he could dodge the knife, but now he is very inflexible due to his lack of strength, and the opponent has a chance.
But this knife is also very difficult, it is said to be stabbed, but in fact, it is to slowly put the knife on Aobai's stomach, just like aiming, and then hold the knife in both hands to press the weight of the whole body to increase the strength. It's not that the knife is not sharp, it's still that sentence, but there is no strength.
The mutinous soldier used all his strength to feed, his eyes widened, his teeth creaked, and the weight of his whole body was pressed, and finally the sharp blade penetrated the armor and pierced into Aobai's body.
But because the strength of this mutinous soldier was limited after all, although the sharp knife in his hand penetrated the armor and stabbed into Aobai's body, it was not deep, Aobai was tall and mighty, and his body was strong, and he couldn't touch his spleen at all, and only hurt his flesh and skin.
But the more this happened, the more painful it became, and Aobai's facial features shifted, and he looked down to see that blood was spraying out along the blade. He stretched out his hand and stuck the neck of the mutinous soldier, who was going to stab the blade a few more inches inside, but his neck was stuck here, he was a little suffocated, and his breath was short, so he let go of the knife to save his neck, and the knife could not be stabbed again, just like the end of a strong crossbow, and he couldn't wear Lu Minye.
But Ao Bai really didn't have the strength anymore, and he didn't strangle the general to death after pinching for a long time. Blood splattered into his mouth, and he licked it with his tongue, feeling salty and fragrant. It seems that the dry and cracked ground that has been dry for a long time has ushered in a drop of rain and dew, and the ground is gone all of a sudden.
Hunger is terrible, and if you are hungry to a certain extent, you will do anything. In this respect, there is no essential difference between man and beast.
Ao Bai began to drink his own blood, and he couldn't reach it with his hands, but because the wound was small, the blood that flowed out was too little, which was a drop in the bucket for such a hungry man. Absolutely not enjoyable, suddenly he was like a hungry beast, holding the Han soldier in front of him who was about to stab him to death, and bit him on the neck with one bite.
The reason why he chose to bite his neck is because the rest of the place is armor, and he can't bite it, and this place is exposed soft flesh, as well as blood vessels, which are easy to bite. Like a tiger eating a fawn, it bit its neck open with a click, and drank the blood with a bang.
It's a pity that this Han soldier who mutinied was quickly sucked dry of blood by Aobai, turned into a dead corpse, and collapsed on the ground, with no vital signs for a long time.
Ao Bai is not just drinking blood, it may be that he has been hungry for too long, and he is not addicted to drinking blood, because this is soup, and he must eat thick food, otherwise he will not be hungry, and he will eat meat after drinking blood, and even the meat and skin on his neck, and he will chew several large pieces twice to eat.
When Ao Bai put the corpse down, and under the light of the torches, Ao Bai's head, face and mouth were all covered with blood, like a beast that had just finished eating. The generals present at this scene were all stupid, they had only seen the mighty and invincible Aobai, and they had never seen the Aobai as cruel as a beast.
Those Han soldiers, whether they mutinied or came to suppress the mutiny, those Manchurian Tartar generals, watched the worshippers gobble up blood and eat meat with relish, like hungry people pounce on bread, and they were all stunned at this time.
