7. Flesh and Arrow Stacks

The next day, Du Huangsheng, who had just crossed the Xiaoli River, was stunned, "Doctor Kong was kidnapped by Cai thieves?" ”

Then he was full of remorse, at first he just hoped to send the judge Kong Chaofu to proclaim, hoping that Yuncheng and Wu Shaocheng could surrender as soon as possible, so as not to let the entire Caizhou fall into the flames of war, but he still underestimated the lower limit of Wu Shaocheng's group of bandits.

"Cai thief is going to kill someone!" Xiaoli River to Lingyun Grid, nearly 20 miles away, nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers who had just crossed the river yesterday, soldiers have stood behind the camp wooden fence, opposite 200 steps away from the hill on the Lingyun Gate, drums, raised the flag, at the same time the north wall of Yuncheng is also full of Huaixi generals, on a row of trees along the edge of the moat, seven people are tied in turn.

In the south of the city, the soldiers of the Dingwu, Yining, and Fengyi armies of the imperial court could not be seen, and they were encamping on the border leading to Tuokou, preparing to carry out the siege of Yuncheng.

Du Huangshang hurriedly sent several cavalry out of the camp, three of them bypassed the east of Yuncheng and went to inform Yang Yuanqing of the Dingwu Army, and the other three held the banner and went straight to the horse face under the moat of Yuncheng, Wu Shaocheng sat under the umbrella cover decorated with flowing ears, and was watching the preparations for this execution.

An hour later, in the north of Yuncheng, the officers and soldiers who were talking about it were identified.

The seven people who were tied to the tree were Yang Yuanqing's wife Jia Shi, as well as Yang's four children, as well as Ding Huaijin, a general of Huaixi, and Judge Du Huangsheng, who had just been kidnapped, Kong Chao's father.

In front of the tree, a group of Cai soldiers were digging in the soil, as if they were building a long stack for archery.

"Quickly release Dr. Kong! Otherwise, the imperial court will not pardon Huaixi alone! The official cavalry pointed at Wu Shaocheng and scolded.

Wu Shaocheng raised his face and laughed, and then his tone was full of madness and brutality, "I won't kill Dr. Kong for the time being, but I want the court to understand that I, Wu Shaocheng, have the determination to kill." Immediately, Wu Shaocheng's armor slammed, he stood up, pointed to the surrounding Huaixi generals, and pointed to Ding Huaijin who was tied in the moat, "You all know this person, I handed over the defense of the Xiaopu River to him, but he let the officers and soldiers cross the river, and he did not want to die in battle." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ding Huaijin screamed briefly, his neck and mouth, since then with ropes and cloth towels were strangled by several Wu Shaocheng's tooth soldiers, Ding's face quickly turned purple, and even blackened, and the blood all surged up due to difficulty breathing, he wanted to scold Wu Shaocheng angrily, but he couldn't make a sound.

A Caizhou tooth soldier in front of him had a hideous face, holding a short-handled sharp blade, which stabbed into Ding Huaijin's chest.

This moment of fierce stabbing made Ding Huaijin's mouth, nose, eye sockets and heart all burst out of blood, spraying all over the face of the torture tooth soldiers, Ding Ding's bare feet were in the mud under the tree, because of extreme pain, rubbed out two pits, and then died of anger.

At the head of Yuncheng City, Lingyunzha in the northeast of the city, and the official and military barracks opposite Lingyunzha, tens of thousands of people witnessed this scene, and all of them were scattered.

"Wu Shaocheng, a madman." Du Huangshang looked at this scene, and his heart was full of regret and resentment.

The executioner, in full view of everyone, took the knife from Ding's chest to his abdomen, took out his heart and intestines, and threw them on the stack of arrows beside him.

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing's four children, the eldest was only eleven years old, and they all cried.

"Don't cry, if you die, you will die, and soon this Wu thief will be buried for us." Yang Yuanqing's wife Jia's mouth was not blocked, and she still shouted and scolded.

"Shut up, you whore!" Li Yuanping at the head of the city jumped to his feet.

Jia Shi turned his head and scolded Li Yuanping angrily, "You small and beardless ugly dwarf, you call yourself a clan in vain, and you are doing all the things that are inferior to pigs and dogs. Then Jia Shi shouted to the Huaixi generals at the head of the city, "Fathers and brothers, you are all from Caizhou, look at what the Wu Shaocheng brothers have done?" Kill the prime minister, kill the officials and soldiers, kill the people, do many evils, and the crime cannot be punished, if you follow him again, I am afraid that in the end, Runan City will turn into powder, and your whole family will not be able to live. ”

"When you die, you dare to be stubborn and kill this prostitute!" Li Yuanping and Wu Shaocheng were furious.

Jia laughed and scolded, "Is the thief afraid of a woman's ear today? My loyal soul will not be extinguished after death, and your bones will be as cheap as mud after death. ”

"Whoever betrayed me Huaixi, kill!" Wu Shaocheng jumped wildly.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing had already ridden to Yuncheng, and when he saw that his wife and four children were about to be executed, he jumped off the horse and shouted and cried in the direction of Jia's family.

Jia Shi also saw her husband, so she used her last strength to shout at him

"Yuanqing, do your best to assist Gao Tang Lao and Du Tang Lao to exterminate the thieves, I should be blind."

"You are all from Caizhou, don't you recognize the truth of obedience, why do you want to kill my wife and children?" When Yang Yuanqing saw that the Huaixi soldiers on the opposite side tore the clothes of their wives and children, and brutally slashed and stabbed their bodies with blades, they were all burned, screaming on the ground, and all ten fingernails were bleeding and peeling off.

However, his plea was useless, and Jia and his four children were cut with a knife, and the broken flesh and internal organs were constantly thrown onto the arrow stack, which was the torture of Huaixi, called "the arrow stack".

"Thieves, thieves, all thieves, all thieves, none of them can die well!" At this time, Yang Yuanqing remembered in a trance that he had said to Gao Yue that he would treat the soldiers and people of Caizhou well when he pacified Huaixi, but now it was the group of people he wanted to save who ruthlessly cut off his wife and children, or watched indifferently and numbly.

They all die, and they don't deserve forgiveness!

A voice sounded in Yang Yuanqing's heart.

Finally, there is Kong Chaofu

Wu Shaocheng, who killed the red-eyed man, stood at the head of the city, pulled out his sword, pointed to the dense official and military barracks, and shouted, "And now who thinks I'm joking, you wait to retreat to the north of the Xiaoli River, I should let Dr. Kong go, otherwise"

But at this time, Kong Chao's father looked at the official army barracks, knowing that he could not be spared, so he was full of anger towards Cai Thief, and shouted, "Those who kill me, those who insult the Holy Master, and the traitor Wu Shaocheng, the sons and daughters should break through Runan City and avenge me." ”

After speaking, Kong Chao's father used all his strength, chewed off his tongue, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and committed suicide.

The officers and soldiers opposite the "doctor" saw Kong Chao's father dead, and thousands of people all knelt down and wept angrily.

At the head of the city, Wu Shaocheng and Li Yuanping were suddenly at a loss.

And Du Huangshang regretted it, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh, trying not to let the tears fall.

The next day, the officers and soldiers who hated the same enemy began to dig trenches and cut down trees, erect artillery racks, and pile up artillery fortifications from the northern, southern, and eastern parts of the city, and wanted to attack the city on a large scale.

"Zunsu Du Huangshang Table Words) This is a big Tuo, you can talk before the battle, why send envoys into the city to persuade surrender" Soon, in the city of Shouchun Xiangguo, Gao Yue, who learned the news of the tragic death of Kong Chao's father and Yang Yuanqing's wife and children, put down the letter, and was stunned, "After that, Cai thieves will not accept surrender, whether it is Yuncheng or Runan City, with resolute and complete annihilation as the criterion, it is not enough to kill this group of bloodthirsty and barbaric Caizhou soldiers." Then Gao Yue angrily patted the table and said to the scribes in the three ya, "Write the words of this way into a hall and send it to all the military horses." ”
