Chapter 178: Killing Jiannu
This was the end of the night's raid and siege.
And the grain and grass of Jiannu were also burned all night, and they were not extinguished until the next day.
If Lu Yuan hadn't forced Chen Hongxu to organize the military and civilians to demolish the houses and create a separation belt in time, the whole city would have been plunged into flames.
Yue Tuo's body had also been burned to ashes.
This is also the second member of the Manchu nobles above the Beyler level to fall into the hands of the Ming army after Nurhachi was killed by a bombardment.
And Yue Tuo is the grandson of Nurhachi, the son of the authentic Manchu royal family, and the owner of the Blue Banner!
This is undoubtedly another great achievement of Lu Yuan's mighty army!
As for some Jiannu who did not react and still slaughtered the people in the city, they were also annihilated or captured alive by the mighty army, and those captured alive naturally had to be beheaded in front of the surviving people in the city!
Lu Yuan had no intention of keeping a single prisoner.
The mighty army did this for the blood revenge of the people of the whole city, so that the surviving people could see that the mighty army was an army that ruled for them; The second is that the mighty army has few but fine soldiers, and what is particular is to march lightly, and it is naturally inconvenient to bring too many prisoners to give full play to their characteristics of small numbers and flexibility.
One morning seven days later.
Sunny.
The head of Jinju City, whose blood had dried up, knelt in a row of Jiannu.
The slaves were dressed only in white, their hands were tied behind their backs, and their heads were pressed against the battlements.
In the past, most of these fierce and vicious Jiannu trembled at this moment, and some even couldn't help but close their eyes.
But at this moment, there are more and more people in the city, and those who help the old and the young are all looking at the Jiannu waiting to be slaughtered in the city with sad and angry faces.
A few days ago, the pain brought to them by this group of Jiannu was too deep.
Even a ten-year-old child will never forget it when he is dying, and he will have to tell his grandchildren about it from time to time.
Especially the children who watched their mothers die of humiliation.
At this moment, these people need the blood of their enemies to relieve them of the deep and painful memories that they have imprinted in their minds.
They need so much to see their enemies punished with justice!
They even crave it all.
Therefore, they looked at the mighty army, and looked at the hundred sword and shield men selected by the mighty army to serve as executioners temporarily, because these hundred sword and shield men would behead these Jiannu who owed a lot of blood debt in a group of twenty!
"Slash!"
The military judge snorted coldly, and twenty steel knives fell neatly, shining in the sun.
Click!
Twenty heads fell off the wall and fell before the people.
Some of the people were shocked on the spot.
But soon, the people began to cheer.
At this moment, the image of the mighty army began to rise in their hearts.
"Slash!"
Twenty more heads fell down the wall, and rolled a few times.
"Slash!"
Then, twenty heads rolled down.
Knives up!
Slash with a knife!
Fall to the ground!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……
Like a black bead falling on a jade plate!
Suddenly falling like a shower!
Like a hammer hitting a giant drum!
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
……
The people cheered and gradually came out of their grief and indignation, some people had tears on their faces, some people had bright smiles on their faces, and some people no longer chose to commit suicide!
So far.
None of the Jiannu captured alive remained.
Slash them all!
The Iron Blood of the Mighty Army has officially begun to become famous!
Zhou Gou'er, who was in charge of publicity, struck while the iron was hot and began to let the members of his propaganda team interact with the people.
"Fellow villagers and elders of Jinju City, who avenged you and rescued you?"
After Zhou Gou'er replied loudly, he first took the initiative to raise his arms and shout and replied: "It's a mighty army!" It's a mighty army! It's a mighty army! ”
"Mighty Army!"
"Mighty Army!"
"Mighty Army!"
……
Lu Yuan smiled when he saw this, what he wanted was this effect, and it was more important than anything else to exchange the heads of hundreds of Jiannu for the trust of the people.
Maybe this is very taboo in the imperial court, but if you don't win the hearts of the people like this, how can you become a strong army!
As for the hidden dangers in the future, Lu Yuan has no time to think about it now.
Anyway, now that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is facing so many fierce enemies, his rule is in turmoil, and even Guan Ningbing has not cleaned up the soldiers, not to mention that his current behavior is just to maintain a good relationship with the people.
After all, the current self is also in the Ming system, and the image of the representative is not the official army.
……
Then.
Zhang Jiajun walked over with an angry face: "Official, Jinzhou Zhizhou Chen Zhizhou and Jinzhou City squires and sages ask to meet." ”
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and smiled coldly: "Let them come up." ”
Soon, Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, and several squires came over.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Chen Zhizhou, why are you still alive?" When my mighty army came in, weren't Jiannu slaughtering the city, you were still unscathed, I thought you had died for the imperial court, otherwise how could you let Jiannu enter the city, and you, all alive? Could it be a ghost? ”
As soon as Lu Yuan said this, Chen Hongxu's face was flushed with choking, and he didn't know what to say, and even pointed at Lu Yuan angrily: "You! You martial artist! ”
Lu Yuan's face turned cold: "What, Chen Zhizhou, what do you want to say?" ”
Chen Hongxu also regained his senses at this time, and he only knew that he was at a loss, so he had to give his hand and say: "This official thanks General Lu for relieving the siege of Jinzhou!" ”
"Wait! Chen Zhizhou! Please pay attention to the wording! It's not about relieving the siege of Jinju, it's about rescuing the slaughtered people of Jinju! ”
Lu Yuan immediately stopped Chen Hongxu's idea of characterizing Jinju as Jinju was just surrounded by Jiannu, and reminded him.
Chen Hongxu's face flushed again, he didn't expect that this military attache named Lu Yuan was not easy to fool, so he had to say: "Yes!" Thank you General Lu for rescuing the slaughtered people of Jinju, and this official specially brought the surviving squires of Jinju City to thank you! ”
Lu Yuan nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Jiannu plundered countless grains and grass from the people of Jinzhou, but unfortunately was burned by the general's connivance and soldiers, please pay the general to avoid impeachment in the future."
Chen Hongxu said.
"As the state zun said, there is no way to build slaves, plundering countless grains and grass for our soldiers and people, and there are soldiers under the command of the general who do not know how to love the people, so that the grain and grass are destroyed.
At the same time, a squire came over and took out a booklet.
Lu Yuan asked Zhang Jiajun to hand the booklet to him.
Lu Yuan looked at the first page above and saw that the grain and grass that needed to be paid amounted to 20,000 stones, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"The grain and grass were burned by order of the official."
Lu Yuan said.
"The general only needs to compensate us for the grain and grass that has been plundered, and we will not dare to embarrass the general!"
At this time, the squire said.
"You guys!"
Uncle Fei and Yue Changgui angrily wanted to pull out their knives, Shen Guangzu was surprised, and Tang Xin still didn't change his face.
Lu Yuan hurriedly stopped them and laughed: "But how can I be sure that your grain was plundered by Jiannu, or if you took the initiative to fund the enemy?" ”
"Bring Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun who was built as a slave, here!".
Lu Yuan suddenly shouted.
Chen Hongxu and the others couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this.
