From time to time, soldiers entered and exited the yamen and reported the news to Lu Xiangsheng. How many prisoners were killed, how many prisoners were captured, how many of our soldiers were killed in battle, how many were wounded, and so on.

For these news, it was basically expected by Lu Xiangsheng, and there was no surprise. Generally speaking, most of the Jianqing, or rather the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongols, did not resist much and became prisoners. Only a small number of people escaped from the city last night.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Xiangsheng's original plan was not to stay longer in Xinhui. It's just that this camp of Jianyu was kicked to create a big momentum, attract the attention of Jianguo, and share the pressure of Gaizhou.

Suddenly, Mao Chengzuo, one of his generals, hurriedly entered the lobby, clasped his hands into fists, and said with an ugly face: "Lord Zhongcheng, Jianyu...... They eat people, and there are many bones......"

"What?" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he made a "Huo" sound and immediately stood up from his chair. He was shocked, not that he hadn't heard of cannibalism. But this kind of military-based cannibalism is a large-scale organized cannibalism, and this is incredible!

He immediately gave the order to "lead the way", and then hurried to see what was going on.

In the back camp of the Jianyu barracks in the city, there were many Ming soldiers here, some were guarding the prisoners, some were standing guard, or they all knew about the cannibalism in the Jianyu barracks, and their faces were very angry. Seeing Lu Xiangsheng coming, they shouted in an unusually angry tone, "Lord Zhongcheng". Although they did not say anything more, they expressed their grief and indignation to 2 Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng went to the place, and when he saw that there were slaughtered people everywhere, it seemed that they were all Han Chinese. In addition to this, there are many bones.

Mao Chengzuo was beside Lu Xiangsheng and told him: "These people who were eaten are all our Han people, and they originally wanted to drive these Han people to attack the city. It's just that the war broke out on the side of Gaizhou before he could move, and Yue Tuo led the elite away, and took a lot of food with him, so he simply ate these Han people here. ”

In some houses not far from this place, other Han Chinese, who were already dying of hunger, were being held, and less than half of them numbered. If Lu Xiangsheng came later, it is estimated that these Han people will be eaten.

Lu Xiangsheng was furious, and when he asked carefully, he learned that these Han people were collected by a traitor named Fan Wencheng, and he was involved in the occurrence of this kind of thing. However, this person was not found, and he may have run away last night.

Mao Chengzuo continued to tell everything he knew: "Most of the slaughter of these Han people was done by these people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and they all ate human flesh. The common people in the new golden city, except for the Jurchens, everyone else was also eaten! ”

Lu Xiangsheng listened, his face was a little frightened, looking at the soldiers under him, one by one, he was angry, looking at himself with anticipation, he did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered: "Blood debt and blood repayment, kill all the captives to this official, write on the city wall, warn the prisoners, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!" Anyone who dares to eat people with Jianlu is a livestock, and Da Ming will never accept its surrender! ”

"The last general obeys!" Mao Chengzuo listened, received the order loudly, and immediately went to convey the order. So, in the midst of a plea for mercy, the soldiers of the Ming army did not relent, and soon, the new golden city became a dead city!

The Han people who were lucky and still had a tone, they were already desperate, they were very excited to see the Ming army rescue them, and the soldiers of the Ming army avenging them, although they were so hungry that they couldn't stand up, and they couldn't even speak, but they all asked one by one to join the Ming army to kill the captives!

Lu Xiangsheng boiled porridge with the grain he found and let them drink, and then found a car and sent them back to Jinzhou. And when Lu Xiangsheng was leaving, a fire burned Xinjin. After the big camp was ended, the Ming army was able to drive straight in, and all places in Liaodong were within the front.

After returning to Jinzhou, Lu Xiangsheng told the emperor about the Xinjin War through Wei Mulan, who stayed here.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be furious. For cannibalism, he can't accept it when he travels through in later generations, let alone slaughter Han people in an organized manner like Jianyu. Without hesitation, he immediately issued an order to retaliate against Jianlu and did not accept Jianlu's surrender. For the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongols, as long as there is cannibalism, they will all be killed.

In the evening, Huang Taiji led the army and arrived at Gaizhou, with more than 30,000 horses, surrounding Gaizhou, which was not very large.

While ordering to set up camp and assemble siege equipment, he personally watched the battle and looked at Gaizhou City from afar.

There were not many Ming troops at the head of the city, and even if the army arrived, it did not increase much. This made Huang Taiji a little surprised, the Ming army in this city seemed to be very calm, and they didn't send troops to the city!

Also, the Ming soldiers who were on guard at the head of the city didn't seem to be flustered at all. The military uniforms they wore were also different from the Ming troops they had seen in the past, they were very new and warm, they seemed to be made of fur, and they even wore fur caps under their helmets.

"Do you understand, where is the Ming army here?" Huang Taiji frowned a little, and immediately turned his head and asked Ji'er Harang beside him.

When Zilharang heard this, he replied with a little uncertainty: "Your Majesty, this Ming army is likely to be the Ming army that appeared on the Korean battlefield, it should not be the Guanning army, nor the Dongjiang army, it seems that ...... It seems to be a newly formed army! The main general headed by Cao Bianjiao should be Cao Bianjiao! ”

Cao Bianjiao? Huang Taiji is not impressed! However, he also agrees with this point of view, this Ming army is likely to be the Ming army that appeared on the Korean battlefield. According to Dolgon's report, it was said that this Ming army was highly disciplined, and when it was fighting, there was a bit of the shadow of the Qi family's army.

As soon as he thought of this, he remembered the bloody battle of the Hunhe River back then. At that time, the Qi family army and the white pole army had lost the field battle of the Qing Dynasty, so that the first khan could not even capture the position of the Ming army by beheading more than a dozen generals. In the end, they finished the gunpowder and brought in the artillery, which opened the Ming formation, and it was only at a great cost that they were eliminated.

Seeing that Huang Taiji's face was a little unsightly, Yue Tuo immediately said: "Your Majesty, I came here with heavy troops in the Qing Dynasty, and I am well prepared, and there are so many siege equipment, no matter how powerful the Ming army inside is, this Gaizhou will definitely go down in one go." ”

"Yes, I, the Urad Division, am willing to be the first to attack the city and share your Majesty's worries!" A bearded man followed aloud. With so many siege equipment, Gaizhou City is not as tall and sturdy as the Ming Kingdom Jingshi, and I don't believe that it can't be defeated!

Other Jianyu generals and people from the Mongol tribes also expressed their attitudes, and they all had great confidence that they would be able to decide to build a state in a battle. When the time comes, the emperor has said that if you don't seal the knife, whoever grabs something will belong to whoever stook!
