Chapter 332: Cai Shang's Soldiers Ransack!
In this battle, the Song army will be defeated, and there is no suspense!
The cavalry of the Song army was all reimbursed, only the infantry army remained, and it didn't take long for the 10,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry to rush into the Song army's formation, and a massacre began!
"Whew!"
"Ahh Yes! ”
"Don't!"
The Great Qin Iron Cavalry kept waving the lance in his hand, piercing through the Song army one by one, taking away one life after another.
And Cai Shang also ran away, leaving the remnants of the army and running away!
An hour later, the remnants of the 100,000 Song army were killed 70,000, 20,000 surrendered, 10,000 escaped, and the Qin army lost tens of figures, no way, the Qin army did not fight much, they all relied on crossbowmen to kill the enemy, in this war, the Qin army's crossbowmen killed more than half, the cavalry killed more than half, and the infantry almost did not kill many people.
In this battle, the total number of troops invested by both sides was 280,000, which can be described as a major battle and can be recorded in history.
"Marshal Qiqi, in this battle, our army captured 170,000 sets of armor and spears, and captured 10,000 war horses!" Meng Chang knelt on one knee and reported to Zhao Cheng.
Originally, there were 30,000 war horses, but 20,000 were mistakenly killed by crossbowmen, after all, there are no eyes for swords and guns!
"Well, pass it on, clean the battlefield first, let people dig a pit in this clearing, let all the corpses put in it, and then incinerate it with fire, and the corpses of the war horses are used to eat, as military food, and if there are more, they will also be incinerated together!" Zhao Cheng ordered lightly.
The corpse must be good, or there will be a plague!
"Yes!" Meng Chang bowed his hand and immediately went down to convey the order.
Time passed slowly, Meng Chang ordered 20,000 captives to dig pits, and the Qin soldiers disposed of the corpses of war horses, took the most tender and best meat to eat, and cremated the rest.
A day later!
It took a day for the Qin army to finish the battlefield.
In the meantime, Jizhou!
Jizhou was in a panic at this time, and the 10,000 remnants of the Song army frantically looted the food and money in the city, and every ordinary person was forced to hand over ten taels of silver and ten loads of grain.
This is Cai Shang's order, he knows very well that Jizhou will definitely not be able to be saved, and in this case, it is better to empty Jizhou City, leave Qin Jun with a poor Jizhou, and let Zhao Cheng deal with the safety of the people of Jizhou.
"You are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, you are clearly bandits!"
"Qiu Ba, you Qiu Ba!"
"The old man really has no money, and there is no food, I beg you, let us go!"
"This is this year's rice seed, you can't take it!"
"Crazy, crazy, what kind of bullshit court army are you!"
"The Great Song Dynasty is over, the Great Song Dynasty is over, the monarch is mediocre, the traitors are rampant, the army under his command is chaotic, and the Great Song Dynasty will die!"
"Dead old man, if you dare to say more, Lao Tzu will arrest you and go to the army together!"
"Shut up all of them, they are all saying one more word, and they will directly arrest the confiscated army!"
The people and the Song army began to quarrel, and in the end, under the strong suppression of the Song army, the people could only watch the Song army snatch the money and food from the family, and their hearts were already wet with tears!
They never thought that they were not robbed by bandits, but by the imperial army, which is really chilling!
The speed of the Song army's action, after robbing the people of Jizhou, they evacuated directly, along with the officials and families of Jizhou, the officials and families did not dare to stay in Jizhou, but they heard that every time the Qin army captured a city, they would take the officials and the family to open the knife, so as to win the hearts of the people!
After the Song army left, the 130,000 people of Jizhou wandered the streets with empty eyes, their faces were like ashes, and their faces were full of sadness.
The officers and soldiers, officials, troops, and all the forces of the family withdrew, and the order of Jizhou City collapsed, but there were no bad things such as robbery, because the money and food were robbed, they wanted to rob it, the question was who to rob, everyone was poor!
"Fathers and fellow villagers, the court abandoned us, we took refuge in the Qin army, I heard that Qin Shuai loves the people like a son, is benevolent to the people, and often takes out military rations to scatter to the people, such a benevolent and virtuous teacher, how can those Song Junqiu eight be compared, even if it is a capital crime to defect to the Qin army, but the court doesn't want us anymore, what do we want the court to do, instead!"
At this moment, a gray-shirted young man in his twenties, standing on a high platform, shouted with all his strength.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with the people, yes, the court doesn't want us anymore, what else do we want the court to do, it's the opposite!
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! ”
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!"
Hundreds of people poured into the streets, shouting frantically.
Now the only way is to rebel, otherwise there is no food, and you can't live at all!
The reason why Cai Shang ransacked Jizhou City was to weaken the strength of the Qin army and prevent the Qin army from getting the money and food in Jizhou City, but he couldn't have imagined that his order would allow the Qin army to gain the hearts and support of the 130,000 people in Jizhou City without much effort!
"Let's go out of the city to meet the Qin army!" The gray-shirted youth shouted again!
The gray-shirted young man seemed to have won the trust of the people, and when the people heard this, they turned around and ran towards the east gate.
After a while, all 130,000 people flocked to the city gate, and at this time, 70,000 Qin troops also came, when he saw the endless people in front of him, Zhao Cheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled: "Slow down, march slowly!" ”
With an order, the march of the 70,000 Qin army slowed down by more than half while maintaining the highest vigilance.
"Shuai, what's going on? Cai Fool is so insidious and ruthless, he actually uses the people to defend the city! Meng Chang saw more than 100,000 people and said angrily.
Meng Chang didn't know what happened in Jizhou City, and thought that Cai Shang knew that he couldn't defeat the Qin army, and wanted to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to coerce the Qin army to retreat, not only did he think so, but Zhao Cheng and other generals also thought so!
"What's it, it's back to the court, I'm here!"
"Fuck, I thought I was already very bad as a bandit, but I didn't expect Cai Shang, the son of the prime minister, to do such a unconscionable thing, if you have the opportunity to catch him, you must cut him with a thousand knives, otherwise you can't vent your anger!"
"This kind of person is really a waste of air when he is alive, a waste of land when he dies, and the traffickers can't look down on it!"
"Dog, what is this kind of imperial court kept, according to me, you should send troops to Kyoto directly now, and push that Zhao Ji down and cut it down!"
All the generals and soldiers scolded indignantly!
"All troops on alert!" Zhao Cheng couldn't hold a way at this time, should he kill the people who stopped at the city gate!
"Whew, bastard! It's really ruthless enough to do this kind of thing! Zhao Cheng couldn't help but sigh for a while, he thought he was ruthless enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone more ruthless than himself!

Under the city of Jizhou, hundreds of thousands of people saw the figure of Qin Jun and immediately became excited.
"Haha, father, fellow villagers, Qin Jun is here!"
