Chapter 7: Collecting the Corpses from Under the City

The leader of the invading army stood on the vehicle and ordered everyone to inform everyone that the weapons and armor should be recovered, and that they should be executed on the spot with their private weapons, and that the corpses should be buried according to the regulations.

After the leader finished speaking, he distributed tools to everyone, and Gao Yihuan took a shovel and followed the team to a place full of dirt bags.

Liu Heizi asked them to find an open area, so he asked each department to start digging a pit, and stipulated that each department must dig a big pit one zhang deep and three zhang long and wide, and if they can't finish digging, they are not allowed to eat.

After giving the order, he sat down to rest on the horses brought by his subordinates, and the various divisions were disbanded to work.

Gao Yihuan picked up the shovel, saw the surrounding soil bags, and found that they were all new soil, and his heart sank, only to know that they were all buried dead.

"Damn, how many people have died here?" He was shocked in his heart, it was really a troubled world, and life was as cheap as a dog.

At that moment, Gao Yihuan took his subordinates to choose a place, and then commanded to demarcate the area first, and then began to lay shovels, but after a while, his back hurt and his hands became sore.

In his later life, he lived in a good era, and in this life, he was also lazy to eat since he was a child, stretching out his hands for clothes, and opening his mouth for food.

He, the son of a landlord, basically never did farm work, and before half an hour, Gao Yihuan straightened up and beat himself, but found that those skinny subordinates were still working.

"Zhao Dachu, you turtle grandson, let you stand for a while, you dangle Lao Tzu, saying that your legs are weak, why are you so strong now?" Gao Yihuan saw the tall and thin Zhao Dachu, carrying a load of dirt, walking like flying, and couldn't help scolding.

"Mr. Ministry, can it be the same, isn't it enough to eat." He was a real man, and while laughing, he picked up the dirt.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan spat on his hand, then gritted his teeth and dried it again. It's time for his body to move.

He dug and commanded like this, but it also caused a burst of surprise among the men in the village, it seems that the Shaodong family has really changed sex.

By dusk, Gao Yihuan and other department chiefs dug the pits one after another, and the originally flat ground suddenly became an archaeological site.

Almost at the same time, the food that everyone had been waiting for for a long time was finally delivered. Liu Heizi and the three palms ate on the side, there was rice, fish, and two side dishes, and they were simpler, still a large cake.

This kind of cake, it is estimated that the face is not fermented well, and the cake is so hard that it can knock down the front teeth.

At this time, everyone was sitting on the mound and eating bread, and the sound of gold sounded in the distance, and the siege army retreated like a tide, and Kaifeng City returned to calm.

"Get up and get ready to work!" Seeing this, Liu Heizi immediately stood up and shouted.

Everyone hurriedly got up, put down the tools first, and then returned to the camp to receive torches, vehicles, stretchers and other things, and set off for the battlefield.

At this time, it was April of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the weather was warm, and the corpses were not cleaned up, and it was easy to stink and rot, forming epidemics.

"Hear clearly, the bodies were carried into the pit dug, and the lightly wounded brothers and weapons were brought back to the camp." Liu Heizi stood at the front of the team, and added with a cruel face: "If you meet a seriously injured person, if you have eggs, give them a good time, if you can't do it, then don't care, this governor will take someone to cook."

Gao Yihuan came to Kaifeng City, and saw a piece of corpses, countless soldiers died on the ground in various postures, and war knives, spears, shields, and banners were scattered all over the field.

These corpses and weapons began to thin out, and the closer they got to the city walls, the denser they became, and by the time they reached the bottom of the city, they were almost piled up.

Among the corpses, there were still soldiers wailing and rolling, lying and moaning, and the sounds of pain rang out from everywhere, it was like hell.

When Gao Yihuan saw those dirt bags, his heart was very shocked, and now when he saw the intuitive corpse and the beaten limbs, his face suddenly turned pale, and his legs and feet were weak.

Several department chiefs have a division of labor, and his group is responsible for finding the lightly wounded.

Although Li Zicheng intends to consume them, he still has to act like a rescuer, otherwise it is easy to be chilling, and when it comes to employing people, no one will sell his life.

Gao Yihuan and Gao Yiyan carried a stretcher and walked among the corpses, they were within the range of the city's artillery, but the city did not intend to bombard these intruders who collected the corpses.

Because the corpses are generally homeless, killing the intruding army will be re-sent, and if they die, it will reduce the consumption of food, and the price of a cannon is far more expensive than their lives, so it is not cost-effective to kill them. Moreover, killing them at this time did not record military merits, and the city did not want an outbreak of epidemics, so they were allowed to collect their corpses.

At this time, Gao Yihuan and Gao Yiyan walked a distance, leaving many corpses behind, and suddenly he saw an iron bullet stained red with blood, as well as several broken corpses, and a soldier with a broken arm wailing.

The soldier was covered in blood, lying in a large pool of blood, his whole body curled up in a ball, his body trembling, spasming, and hissing.

Gao Yihuan stared at the arm on the side, his eyes fell on the soldier, his mind was blank for an instant, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.

At this time, a black and strong figure stepped forward, a snowy sword light flashed, and the soldier's cry stopped abruptly. Liu Heizi killed the soldier with a knife, and then raised his knife and walked towards another howling soldier not far away.

The soldier leaned against a broken trebuchet, his leg was pierced by a piece of sawdust, he saw the scene just now, saw Liu Heizi coming, and immediately held back his wail, his hands supported the ground and retreated, his face was full of fear, but Liu Heizi came forward and hacked him to death with a knife.

Gao Yihuan was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out behind his back, which was too cruel for him.

In fact, this is not that Liu Heizi deliberately wants to kill people, but the conditions are limited, and the army does not have so many medicinal materials, even if there are medicinal materials, at this time, the soldier's wound is too big, and most of them will not survive if they are carried back, and it will only consume resources.

When Liu Heizi shuttled through the crowd, nearly 100 soldiers under him did the same thing again.

Gao Yihuan stared at the blood flowing from the corpse, the soldier lost too much blood, and the blood at the knife edge bubbled for a while, and then it didn't flow out, Gao Yihuan reacted, shook his head, and looked away with difficulty.

At this time, he and Gao Yiyan continued to move forward, and there were more and more corpses along the way, and the death became more and more miserable, which made the stomachs of the two of them churn for a while, and most of the food they ate at night was vomited.

At this time, Gao Yihuan suddenly stepped on a puddle of slimy things, and when he looked down, he stepped on a corpse whose head was smashed flat and his brains were scattered all over the ground.

He suddenly couldn't help but squat down and retch, and at this time, not far in front of him, a faint voice came, "Help me~"

Gao Yihuan looked up, and the man had two arrows stuck in his body and a gun-eyed, which should have been killed according to Liu Heizi's standards.

Gao Yihuan was hesitating to save it, and there was already a personal soldier of Liu Heizi next to him, searching and walking towards this side.

Gao Yihuan saw that the injured man was wearing a cotton armor, at least he was a small leader, so he rushed to the man's side before Liu Heizi's personal soldiers, and worked with Gao Yixi to carry him on a stretcher, and then walked back.
