Chapter 15: The Price

Bayan didn't pay any attention to the old man's amazement, and his sword easily cut off the old man's head. The old man's head rolled out of the ground, still with a frightened and surprised expression on it.

Seeing that his master had set an example, Bayan's subordinate Qiding drew their steel knives one after another and slashed at the Han people kneeling on the ground.

Looking at the Han people who were killed by his own men, Bayan felt a burst of contempt in his heart. Dozens of Han people in the courtyard were running away and begging for mercy, and no one dared to resist at all.

This made Bayan have no mood to slaughter the Han people, and he said in his heart: The Han people are cowardly cattle and sheep, as long as they are in need of the Jurchens, although they can take them from the Han people.

The Han people control the flower world in the south for nothing, as long as he waits a few more years, he will definitely step on the capital of the Han people. The emperor who captured the Han people alive dedicated it to the Great Khan, and he would definitely do it, he thought silently in his heart.

After killing all the men in the yard, they rushed into the backyard and began to vent their bestial desires.

The youngest daughter of the family became Bayan's exclusive confinement, and Bayan was very happy when he looked at the frightened little face. He had long wanted to see the small feet of a Han woman, and today he could finally get what he wanted.

After venting his beastly desires on that woman all night, he personally cut off the little feet that made him want to stop. He wants to leave these little feet as a permanent memorial, and who cares if that woman lives or dies!

Lange wasn't as violent as Bayan, he didn't like bloody scenes, that would make him lose interest. He also found a merchant's house, and when he led someone to kick open the gate, he also found the courtyard full of various belongings.

Lange didn't go on a killing spree like Bayan, he drove the dozens of people in this courtyard to the courtyard. Then he stripped the men of their clothes, hurried these Han men to a firewood room, and then had them nail the firewood room to death.

After doing all this, he smiled and said to the rest of the women, when the men who were locked in the firewood room can be released, it depends on whether they can satisfy their group.

Otherwise, the men would freeze to death, die of thirst, starve to death, and then he meowed at a young woman with a few months old child in her arms.

He reached out and snatched the child, laid it on a stone bench in the courtyard, and then dragged the young woman into the room. In order to get the child back as soon as possible, the young woman did her best to serve Lange all night. Lange & Söhne was very comfortable this night, it was the happiest night of his life.

The next day she saw her child, but it had been brought in a bowl of soup, and the child had been thrown into the pot and cooked, and the young woman went mad on the spot.

She didn't understand why she hadn't given back the child's life if she had completely done what the Jurchen had asked her to do.

Of course, she didn't know that people couldn't trade with wild beasts, and there was no reason to treat wild beasts, and only by beating them to death could they be exchanged for peace and stability.

Such a killing was carried out in Shengjing City for a day and a night before it ended, and the Jurchens were dissatisfied because of the early sealing of the knife. When they heard that a Ming army had arrived outside the city, they were furious.

It was this group of Ming troops who disturbed their carnival feast, and they wanted to make this group of Ming troops pay the price.

Nurhachi did not underestimate the enemy, and he sent men to gather all the Eight Banner armor soldiers to gather in Shengjing. He wants to fight to the death with the Ming army in Shengjing, and he wants to wipe out all the soldiers who dare to fight in the Ming Dynasty.

When the army of the Ming heard of his great name, Nurhachi, he was terrified, and did not dare to fight him. So this time, he wants to concentrate all his forces and scare Daming at one time.

The weather in Shengjing in March is still very cold, although the Hunhe River has thawed. But the water is still terrifyingly cold, and if a person enters the water at such a temperature, he will definitely freeze to death for no more than half an hour.

Early in the morning of the 15th, the sun had just risen over the horizon. The camp of the Ming army on the south bank of the Hunhe River moved, and groups of soldiers walked out of the barracks and came to the edge of the Hunhe River to start building pontoon bridges.

The soldiers moved quickly, and they soon built a pontoon bridge over the Hunhe River. Then a group of soldiers walked up the pontoon bridge and stepped on the north bank of the Hunhe River.

During the whole process, the Ming army was not harassed in any way, and the Jurchens ignored the Ming army as if they had not seen the actions of the Ming army.

This made Zhou Dunji, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and he was the first to cross the Hunhe River, and began to line up on the south bank of the Hunhe River to meet the challenge of the Jurchens.

Nurhachi in the city had already received a report that the Ming army was building a pontoon bridge. He adopted the suggestion of the second Belle Daishan and decided to attack halfway.

So even if the Ming army crossed the river with more than a thousand people, he did not give the order to attack. When he saw that the number of Ming troops crossing the river had reached half, he finally ordered the whole army to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

When he led people to approach the Ming army, he couldn't help but wonder. The Ming army on the opposite side did not seem to plan to complete the river, but sent more than half of its men and horses across the river to fight with them.

And the remaining 3,000 or so Ming troops actually strengthened the camp on the south bank. Dig trenches, set up horses to resist, and look like they can't defend it.

He couldn't figure out what the Ming army wanted to do, why he had to divide his troops against the enemy when there were only 7,000 people. Could it be that the commander of the Ming army is so confident? Do you believe that you can defeat him with more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, Nurhachi?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he still accepted the fact that the Ming army was divided.

Since the Ming army has divided its troops, he has to seize the opportunity to break through each one.

At this moment, Dai Shan's face was flushed, and he had always had no last resort, but he actually let the Ming army play tricks. He's still thinking about half-crossing! As a result, the Ming army crossed the river and the number of people and horses did not move, where is this half-crossing attack, it looks like they deliberately let the Ming army cross the river.

In this way, the face of the second great Baylor, who was known for his resourcefulness, was placed, and he was the first to come forward and ask for battle.

"Amma! The son miscalculated, but he didn't expect the Ming army to be so cunning, and only half of the men and horses crossed the river. The son is willing to personally lead the first armor soldiers to attack the Ming army, if he can't win, the son is willing to be dealt with by military law? ”

He is really in a hurry, if he makes a mistake in his strategy, if he lets others snatch the first credit for breaking the Ming army, then he will completely lose Nurhachi's support and become a member of the ordinary Baylor.

Nurhachi looked at his son, "It's not necessary to personally lead the troops to charge into battle, you let Zhenghongqi send an army to test the details of the Ming army." Don't be careless! ”

Dai Shan nodded yes, but in his heart, he didn't look down on Ming Jun at all. They had just won the battle of Salhu, their morale was high, and they were full of confidence against the Ming army.

When he returned to his red flag, he announced that he would send a soldier of Jiala to break the enemy, and he did not order the soldier to carry out a tentative attack, as Nurhachi had requested.

In his opinion, a Jiala's armor soldier is enough to defeat the Ming army of 10,000 people, and their Jurchen warriors are all warriors with one as ten, but they are not comparable to those beggar soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

He demanded that the enemy be defeated in one battle and come out with the majesty of a positive red flag.

As soon as his order was announced, two generals jumped out and asked for battle.

Lange said: "Lord Belle! The minion Lange is willing to be the vanguard, the master of the master and the master of the dog! ”

Although Bayan was preempted by Lange, he said without showing weakness: "Lord Belle! Charging into battle has to look at the slave Bayan, and the method of fighting like Lange's girl can't solve Minggou in one battle at all! ”

Lange was robbed of white by Bayan, and his face turned red with anger.

"Bayan, you make it clear to Lao Tzu, who is the girl. Lao Tzu is called strategy, you are a fool with a head full of paste, and you are a brute bull who only knows how to rush forward! ”

Bayan was not ashamed to hear Lange say that he was a brute, but proud.

"What's wrong with Lao Tzu's bravery in battle? Strategize the master's affairs at that time, and Lao Tzu just listens to the master's master. Unlike you, your head is full of shady intrigues for a day! ”

Lange completely made Bayan angry, his hands trembling with excitement and his lips trembling. I didn't say a word for a long time, and I couldn't help but see Bayan's arrogant appearance again.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out the steel knife at his waist, "Bayan! You have deceived people too much, and today I, Lange, will fight you to the death! "As he spoke, he was going to duel with Bayan.

Bayan saw Lange pull out the steel knife, and he said to Dai Shan unhurriedly: "Master! You saw it! This Lange is so arrogant that he dares to pull out a knife in front of the master. ”

After listening to Bayan's words, Lange came to his senses completely. What's wrong with you? How could Bayan lose his mind in a few words, and draw a knife in front of Lord Belle, it is a felony.

At that moment, he quickly threw away the knife in his hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Master! The slave was stunned by Bayan's anger for a while, and asked the master to forgive the slave this time! ”

Looking at Lange who was kneeling on the ground, Dai Shan snorted coldly and said, "Lange! You're getting more and more presumptuous, and I'll settle accounts with you when I'm done with this battle! ”

Then he said to Bayan, "Bayan! This time, let your Jiala attack the Ming army, remember! Don't procrastinate, you have to win a battle, understand? ”
