Chapter 296: Bloodless

After sitting in the public hall for half an hour, Zeng Guangxuan returned to the mansion with his head down, and in broad afternoon, he gathered many ladies together to prostitute themselves during the day, and did crazy things.

"God, if you play with me, you can't let me live a few days in peace, I hate it so much!"

Zeng Guangxuan, who had entered a state of madness, was covered in blood with a sword in his hand, scurrying back and forth in the Zeng family's mansion, killing and beheading people whenever he saw them, and cutting many of his wives into a pile of dead corpses.

When he rushed to the street after killing his own house, the common people were not the ones he left to slaughter, and Zeng Guangxuan was smashed into a pile of rotten meat under the attack of bricks and tiles thrown by many people.

As soon as Zeng Guangxuan died, Yueyang had no leader, and the officials and soldiers left behind were even more unintentionally defensive, and those who thought they had done bad things hurriedly took off their official clothes and changed into ordinary clothes, smeared their faces with black ashes, and fled in a hurry with their heads bowed.

Overnight, the trees of Yueyang fell and scattered, and those who were biased towards the Yuan army fled Yueyang, while the people who were inclined to the Song Dynasty walked out of the city for miles and welcomed the Song army from Changsha in groups. When they saw the crowds of people walking slowly in the distance, the Song army, which had already marched to within ten miles of Yueyang, immediately set up a defensive formation and sent several cavalry to investigate the situation.

"General, General!"

Riding a fast horse, he rushed back to the rear frantically, and came to Zhang Longfu's horse and shouted.

"Yueyang Zeng Guangxuan committed madness, killed his wife and children, walked to the street and was stoned to death by the people with bricks and tiles, and now Yueyang's original defenders have fled in all directions, and it is now a borderless city with four doors wide open!"

"Haha, our army is mighty, it has achieved this effect, this is all the credit of General Zhao's prestige and the unparalleled great-killing weapon of the firearms battalion! Haha, order the forward camp and speed up the march to take over Yueyang City. ”

The soldiers took Yueyang without a single arrow, and the morale of the Song troops who went out on the Northern Expedition was bursting, and the army almost did not stop in Yueyang, and drove directly through the city to Suizhou. Only a few administrative officials were left behind, responsible for taking over the large and small government affairs of Yueyang, cleaning up the remnants of the Yuan army, and starting to recruit new soldiers to expand the local defense force.

After taking Yueyang, the sphere of influence controlled by the Song army was connected to Hanyang, and the power of the Yuan army was swept away in the entire southern middle road, and the Song army of the rebels in various places began to blend with each other and combine into a more powerful force.

Feng Mo, the chief general of the Song army in Hanyang, was originally a Taoist monk on the mountain, but he was disturbed by the Yuan army, and after seeing the atrocities of the Yuan army near Hanyang, he angrily went down the mountain to organize forces to resist the Yuan, and after many battles and training, he strengthened the team.

With Feng Mo's full cooperation, the Song army brigade went all the way unimpeded, and after several days of marching, they arrived at Huailin, fifty miles away from Suizhou. This is the location where nearly 5,000 rebels were killed by the Yuan army, most of them were infantry rebels, camped too far from the woods, many broke out of the camp, but were shot down by the bows and arrows of the Yuan soldiers before they ran into the woods.

Although nearly half a month has passed, because the season has come to the winter moon and the weather is cold, those headless corpses have not rotted, and they have indeed been eaten everywhere by wild beasts in the nearby mountains and forests.

"Stop the march, the cavalry will start to guard along the perimeter, the scouts will be released for twenty miles, and the infantry will go around to collect and sort out the dead bodies that have been left behind, and prepare for the funeral later!"

Zhang Longfu gave an order with red eyes, this headless corpse was stiff and shriveled, and it was impossible to tell the scene when it was besieged by a sneak attack, but everyone could imagine how tragic it was at that time.

Zhao Tianyou was originally in the rear camp to suppress the formation, but he walked to the front after the front stopped marching, and after seeing the headless corpses scattered all over the ground, his heart was also extremely depressed. The Yuan army of Suizhou has already been sentenced to death in his heart, and it is not the kind of decision that must be made with Dong Wenbing, Suoduo and others, suffer boundless pain, and regret coming to this world before they can let them die.

That night, the Song army held a large-scale cremation, cremated thousands of corpses, and dug a huge grave pit to bury the collected ashes collectively, and built a mass grave for 10,000 people.

The distance of fifty miles is only a day, and at this time, it is necessary to always be on guard against the sneak attack of the Yuan army out of the city, so the scouts of the Song army are released far away, and there are hundreds of people shuttling back and forth within a range of twenty miles to reconnoitre.

The cavalry of the Yuan army in the city of Suizhou had just come from the north, and they were also very famous, they came from the Kipchak Khanate, that is, the fief of Genghis Khan's eldest son, Jochi.

They come from a bitter cold land, most of them are violent and drink-friendly, and when they fight, they are cruel and ruthless, and they like to torture the opponent's body and spirit, and after going south, the weather is warm, and their temperament is even more brutal.

After the victory of the sneak attack on the rebel army, Ji Zhe'an, the commander of the army, was even more unpopular, thinking that the Song army was just a group of pigs and dogs who could hold knives, and even the combat effectiveness was not as good as the cattle, sheep and wild horses that turned their faces.

"Report to the general, the Song Dynasty army of more than 100,000 people, after conquering Yueyang, did not stop, along the way to the north, has passed the Huailin fifty miles outside the city. Last night, after they gathered the bodies and dug a pit to bury them, they had already marched towards Suizhou City, and it was estimated that they would be able to arrive tonight. ”

"Oh, stand down, it's really here! Haha, you can let us go on a killing spree, and wait until tomorrow to string their tens of thousands of heads, haha, wouldn't it be fast. ”

Ji Zhe'an laughed, not taking these hundreds of thousands of Song troops in his eyes at all, and the Han officials in Suizhou wanted to remind him, but before he could speak, he was stopped by his fierce eyes. In Ji Zhe'an's view, these Han officials are cowards, and their words are even more untrustworthy, and they are all cowards who exaggerate the strength of the enemy because of their cowardice.

Ji Zhe'an led 30,000 iron cavalry in the northern cold land, for the small city of Suizhou, the number of soldiers in the city has exceeded the tolerance range, compared with the original few residents, the number of their troops is too much, and when the barracks are not enough, they have seized a lot of private houses to live in.

Zhao Tianyou sat on the big black horse, only five miles away from Suizhou, at this time it was nearly evening, and the smoke of cooking rose in Suizhou City, indicating that the number of Yuan troops in this small city was not a few.

The movements within a few miles outside the city can't be hidden from Zhao Tianyou, and there are no scout cavalry sent out in the city, can these hundreds of thousands of Song troops be regarded as air? The defenders in this city are bold enough, and such a weak defense can't hold out even for half an hour under the bombardment of the cannons.

After observing for a while, Zhao Tianyou said word by word to the herald: "The enemy defending the city is careless and underestimates the enemy, and the defense is weak and very casual, tell the two generals to order the troops to rest on the spot and bury the pot to cook, rest well after eating, and prepare to attack the city tonight!" ”
