Chapter 961: Picking up the Mess
The inner city gate of Jizhou Dongcheng, which had already been mottled and scarred by the crazy slashing of the Mengren, finally opened slowly after a squeak. Remember in one second [look ☆^→ book \◇ pavilion], wonderful free reading without pop-ups! The first to come out were a neat array of sword and shield bearers, and behind them was a phalanx with spears, and they stepped out of it with careful steps, staring warily at the Mengren, who was still standing against the wall, not daring to move.
Because at this time, on the walls at both ends of the urn city, there were rows of archers watching them, and as long as these mengmen dared to flash out, those arrows would not hesitate to shoot through their bodies.
In this way, it became quite simple to clean up the battlefield and capture the enemy alive, and the soldiers of the Ming army stepped forward and pointed at the enemy's neck or chest with a knife and gun, and they could force the opponent to obediently tie their hands and capture him, even when they tied him with ropes, there was no resistance. In fact, after this completely one-sided massacre, these Mongolian warriors had already accepted their fate, completely lost the courage to fight and resist again, and only had one thought left, that is, to save their lives.
As a result, as the soldiers continued to advance and capture, all the remaining 300 or so Mongolians became prisoners of the Ming army. At the same time, another group of soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield also had a lot of gains.
The so-called cleaning of the battlefield was originally intended to heal one's own robe and mend the wounded of the enemy. But the battle that took place in this urn city can directly omit the former, and only need to get rid of the Mongolian people who are still angry on the ground. This action is very fast, just pick up the knife and gun and keep stabbing at those fallen bodies, as long as there is movement, and then make up for the vital point, it can kill them.
In general, after a war, cleaning the battlefield is still a very dangerous thing, after all, in the case of difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, there will be some hesitation in order to rescue as many wounded robes as possible, so as to give the enemy's wounded soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of. But now there is no concern about this, as long as you kill all the way, anyway, the two sides are enemies for a hundred years, and there is no such thing as mercy at all.
It wasn't until he reached the east gate that a soldier was about to swing his knife and slash at a guy who had fallen to the ground, but the man suddenly sat up with a thud. This really frightened the soldiers, and with a quick flip of their wrists, they turned into stabs, wanting to send a knife into the opponent's chest. I didn't want to, but the man suddenly spoke, and he still said the official words of the Ming Dynasty: "I am Shi Qingyan......"
Fortunately, he spoke quickly enough, and the tip of the knife was less than three inches from his chest, and when he heard the name, he stopped abruptly. After carefully examining the other party for a while, the soldier recognized that his armor covered with blood and mud was used in the Ming army, and it did look a little similar to General Shi, so he hurriedly shouted: "Shi ...... Shi Qingyan is here! Although the knife did not stab in, it was still crossed in front of the opponent's neck to prevent any abnormal movement.
Shi Qingyan was also a little lucky, in such a chaotic situation, he was stunned to survive. However, he did not dare to run to the side of those Mongolian people who stood against the wall, because he knew very well that the other party had already hated him to death, and if he leaned over, there was a good chance that he would die at their hands.
In this urn city, he had to face the threat of falling feather arrows and flames from above, and finally he had an idea, so he simply took the initiative to lie on the ground, and pulled several Mongolian corpses over his body to resist the arrows flying everywhere, so that he survived.
However, as the Ming army sent people out to clean up the mess and clean up the battlefield, the plan to get away by pretending to be dead and foolish was completely unworkable. Especially when he found out that someone was actually raising a knife to stab him, he was even more panicked, and he had to reveal his identity.
Sure enough, as he revealed his identity, the other party stopped making a move, but after a greeting, many soldiers were called, and everyone stared at him with contempt and resentment, and he didn't dare to look up.
Just now, Shi Qingyan said out loud in front of everyone that he had returned to the Mengren, and he was willing to run to the east gate to open the city gate for his own use, which naturally completely confirmed his identity as a traitor. In this way, no matter how high his original status was, he was the most despicable existence in the eyes of the Ming army officers and soldiers at this time.
"Bring him to the city for me, and the rest of the people will continue to clean up the battlefield." Soon, an order came from the city, and the soldiers reacted, quickly tied Shi Qingyan with ropes, and then pushed him and those Mongolian prisoners to escort him to the city.
Walking along the familiar road and walking on the familiar East Gate City, Shi Qingyan's state of mind at this time was completely different, he was very worried, and he also had a trace of guilt, but more resentment. He complained that Lin Lie and Lu Zhen had sent themselves outside the city to fight the Tartars, if it weren't for their decision, he would still be the deputy chief soldier in this Jizhou City, why did he fall into such a bad reputation and become a prisoner?
Especially when he went up to the city and saw Lu Zhen standing beside Du Zhong, and Lin Lie, who was sweating all over his head but was full of surprise at this time, the resentment in his heart was even heavier. But at this time, he couldn't do anything except keep sweeping over the two of them with a resentful gaze.
Lin Lie had just led a team of men and horses over. When he heard the sound of killing in the direction of the east gate in Xicheng, he was nervous, if the east gate was lost because of Shi Qingyan's existence, Jizhou City would be in danger. So he ran from the westernmost to the east in one fell swoop.
Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that the war here was over, and it was a more hearty victory than in Xicheng. Thousands of Tartars who were put into the city were trapped in the urn city and all of them were killed, which was a rare victory. Moreover, now that even the biggest hidden danger, Lin Lie, has been captured alive, which makes him even more relieved.
At this time, seeing this enemy who had framed him before and now betrayed the imperial court, Lin Lie's heart was also full of anger, and he immediately glared back at the other party, and his momentum was even more than before.
It was Lu Jin, who seemed quite calm at this time, and after seeing the other party's resentful eyes, he just smiled: "General Shi, you can't imagine that you will end up like this." ”
The sentence "I ......" finally woke Shi Qingyan up, and he finally understood what his identity was now. Now that he has already lost his reputation and become a traitor who is spurned by everyone, it is completely useless to say that he was deliberately framed by Lin Lie and them at this time, which makes him dare not show the resentment in his heart anymore, and there is only one purpose left, that is, to be able to live.
And if you want to live, you must first clear yourself of your crimes. Shi Qingyan still had some thoughts about this, and he immediately replied: "The end will naturally ...... Naturally, we knew that our army could achieve a victory. After all, as long as those Tartars can believe my words and be brought into Dongcheng by me, with the clever calculations of General Du and Lord Lu, they will definitely be able to tell them all. ”
This made everyone present stunned, what is this, is this trying to put gold on his face, saying that his surrender to the Mongolian people is also part of the plan?
Shi Qingyan said, and looked at Lin Lie again: "General Lin Bing, the last general will go out of the city, but he is also under your military order......
Lin Lie was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that there would be such a brazen person in this world, and at this time, he actually wanted to excuse him! This made his brows furrow suddenly, and he planned to order someone to take him down to watch and detain, and then report to the court for disposal.
However, Lu Jin, as if he had thought of something, strolled in front of Shi Qingyan, and after looking at him a few times, he suddenly leaned over and whispered something in his ear. As soon as these words were said, the other party showed hesitation, but Lu Zhen didn't force it, just glanced at him and said, "You can think about it yourself, now you are the only one who can help you." As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers below to take him away.
Although Lin Lie was still a little confused about Lu Jin's intentions to do this, but at this time, the battle situation was tight, and he didn't ask about this, so he only explained a few words to Du Zhong, and hurried back to Beicheng.
Because until now, there are still bursts of killing voices from the north, and I don't know if after such a long time, the Tartars have changed their previous tactics, and not only use cavalry to suppress the defenders at the head of the city.
At this time, Du Zhong and the other soldiers had already bowed down to Lu Zhen with pleasure and sincerity: "Lord Lu's plan is really clever, and he won a big victory in a battle, I think this time the Tartars will not dare to offend my east gate again." ”
Lu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Du Zhong up: "Everyone get up." You can't afford to praise me like this, if you really want to say who is the biggest hero of this battle, it can only be the soldiers. I, Lu Jin, are just moving my mouths, and it is you who really kill the enemy. I only hope that after this battle, you will understand one thing, that is, the Tartars are not much better than us, as long as the strategy is used properly and their flaws are grasped, we can also defeat them head-on! ”
"Yes! The humble rank has been recorded, and my Ming soldiers are no weaker than the Tartars! Daming will win, Jizhou will win! The soldiers immediately shouted loudly, and their voices soared into the sky.
Soon, this great victory at the east gate was also quickly reported to all parts of Jizhou City, which also inspired the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city. The people, who were still trembling and fearing that the enemy would kill them, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly organized people to send wine and meat and other rewards to the barracks one after another.
Jizhou, which was originally a little demoralized, was completely alive at this moment, and the confidence of the soldiers in all cities had doubled. On the other hand, it was the Mongolian people outside the city, when the defeat of the two cities in the east and west, especially when the news of the annihilation of the people and horses in the eastern city came back, the blow to them was quite serious......
