"Killed?"

Yu Shizhong was stunned there, these tens of thousands of captives were not forcibly recruited from the countryside, and they were frightened to run away when they heard the sound of cannons, but they were all veterans who had been trained and battled, was it too wasteful to kill them all like this? Besides, this is not hundreds of thousands, but tens of thousands, how can you kill them when it's so dark? Wouldn't it be more troublesome if the captives rioted?

Tie Yi also felt that it was a little inappropriate to kill them all, so he proposed to leave the green camp and only kill the Mongolian soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yu Shizhong agreed with this proposal, there are only more than 2,000 Manchu and Mongolian prisoners, and it is much safer to kill them if they kill them, and they can also use the previous method to drive the green battalion to kill these Manchu soldiers, so that they will not worry that they will turn against the water, and they can be used by their own side.

But Zhou Shixiang stubbornly repeated his order, that is, not to keep these prisoners, not a single one. In his opinion, the number of prisoners was too much, the Taiping army was less than 30,000, but there were more than 10,000 prisoners, and it was not a complete victory, and there was a bigger battle to be fought in the future, so it was very unwise to leave these prisoners who could be shaken at any time. In all dynasties, when the small number of troops was faced with a huge group of captives that were difficult to digest in a short period of time, all of them would choose to slaughter without exception. Zhou Shixiang was no exception, he issued a massacre order. He would not do anything for a woman's kindness until he had achieved absolute superiority over Shunzhi, even if he really needed these captives to replenish the towns with heavy casualties, but he would rather nip all hidden dangers in the bud.

When Yu Shizhong and Tie Yi saw that the commander's order had been issued, they no longer dissuaded them, but instead discussed how to execute these more than 10,000 captives as quickly and effectively as possible. Although it was still dark, the various units that received the order quickly took action.

Zhu Qinglai, the deputy general of the first town, first selected 500 tall and strong Green Battalion soldiers, and then issued them weapons, telling them that if they went to kill other prisoners, they would be pardoned. Otherwise, their fate is death.

After the 500 green battalion soldiers heard this order, they were very energetic, and they believed in the Taiping army, because they used to do this kind of thing. This kind of saying that this kind of thing is exchanged for cottage green forests, which is to accept a name. Think about it calmly, if you don't do things for the Taiping Army, and don't get your own people's blood on your hands, can the Taiping Army trust them? When these 500 green battalion soldiers were singled out by the Taiping army, someone knew that their opportunity had come. Regardless of whether they were in the Ming army or the Qing army, the strong and strong were always given priority, and most of them would eventually become the generals' personal soldiers, and most of the weak ones became cannon fodder. In this troubled world, natural selection makes it easier for strong people to survive.

After the 500 strong battalion soldiers were singled out, Zhu Qinglai ordered the remaining more than 2,000 captives to be driven to the river, and these 500 strong captives were used to carry out the slaughter order. More than 2,000 dazed and apprehensive captives were told that they would go to the canal to take the navy's warships, and then be escorted back to the Guazhou water camp in batches, and then cross the river to the city of Nanjing. If someone doesn't leave, or takes the opportunity to make a riot, then don't blame the Taiping army's swords and guns for not being eyeless.

"Get up, get up! Follow this red flag, hurry! ”

A Taiping soldier holding the flag strode to a small mound, condescendingly waved the red flag in his hand, and the surrounding Taiping soldiers immediately beat the prisoners sitting on the ground with knives and spears, and forced them to immediately get up and follow the red flag.

"What are you going to do? We're right here, not going anywhere. ”

Not all of the captives believed that the Taiping were going to send them on the ship, and a few Manchurian soldiers always felt that something was wrong, and while reminding each other of something in Manchurian, they instinctively retreated into the crowd.

"Look for death!"

Seeing this, several Taiping soldiers rushed to the Manchurian soldiers like wolves, and without saying a word, they stabbed them fiercely with the spears in their hands. In an instant, the soldiers were stabbed with blood gushing like a spring, and they collapsed on the ground and couldn't move. When the rest of the captives saw this, they all turned pale with fright, and no one dared to shrink back anymore.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up!"

Forced by the Taiping army, the captives walked to the canal one by one. After arriving at the river, the Taiping army demanded that all the prisoners squat on the ground with their heads crossed, and those who did not do so immediately took up their swords and guns.

"Honestly, get on the ship and send you to Nanjing, and then we will specially place you, and those who are willing to be our Taiping Army will be our brothers in the future, and if you don't want to, after we kill the Tartar Emperor, we will send you to entangle and let you go home."

“......”

The Taiping soldiers who were slaughtered did not change their lies to the captives. The lies were easily accepted by the captives, and although the attitude of the Taiping army was so bad, those promises gave the captives a glimmer of hope. If they can really survive and go home in the future, they will be beaten up and do hard labor for a few years, and they will be willing. But at this moment, they saw the able-bodied companions who had been picked up appear in front of them with long knives in their hands.

"Do it!"

The red flag shook violently, and the 500 captives rushed towards their companions like wolves, slashing and slashing wildly, ignoring each other's pleas. Some of the captives and the captives who killed them came from a village, and some of them were even relatives, but the murderers did not hesitate at all when the knife fell.

When the last captive was cut down on the blood-soaked ground, and when the blood of the first to die froze, the murderous captives calmed down from their madness, staring blankly at the corpses on the ground, and staring at the blood-stained knives in their hands.

Zhu Qinglai was very satisfied with the performance of these strong prisoners, and ordered them to bury the dead bodies. Then, when the captives handed over their knives and prepared to get shovels to bury the corpses, the Taipings turned their faces.

The cold wind blew, and 500 more bodies were on the riverbank.

.........

More than 3,000 prisoners were held in the Fifth Town, and Yu Shizhong handed over the massacre order to Cao Shou, the brigade school, to carry out the execution. Cao Shou didn't pick people like the first town, he was troublesome, so he ordered the more than 3,000 captives to be driven directly to the town where the fire was raging.

More than 3,000 people were driven into the burning town. From time to time, screams could be heard in the distance, and they realized something, some people were secretly crying, and a wave of fear permeated the crowd. Many people even wanted to escape while the Taiping army was unprepared, but the Taiping army was very tightly guarded, and they had no chance to slip out of the team.

After the captives reached the entrance of the town, the people at the front stopped, they looked at the fire burning in front of them with some anxiety, their expressions and eyes were very complicated, and their hearts were also very entangled, not knowing whether to continue to move forward.

Seeing that the captive team suddenly stopped, Cao Shou impatiently ordered: "Drive them in, if they refuse to leave, they will be killed!" ”

Under the push of these people, it was difficult for the people in front of them to stand still, but they refused to go in, so they could only hold their faces with their hands or protect their heads and let the Taiping soldiers beat them.

"If you don't leave, you'll be fired!"

Hundreds of Taiping soldiers armed with firecrackers aimed their torches at the fireropes in their hands, and the mouths of the black holes were aimed at the prisoners in front of them, and they were about to ignite the fire at any time. Groups of Taiping soldiers with knives also rushed over with torches, knives in their hands, ready to come up and cut down the prisoners who did not obey the order.

"Don't, don't shoot, let's go, let's go..."

Seeing that the Taiping army really wanted to kill, those prisoners who refused to advance were so frightened that they hurriedly begged for mercy, compared to the uneasiness in their hearts, the bright swords and black mouths in front of them made them even more afraid.

After the crowds entered the town in groups, the Taiping army imprisoned them in groups of 100 people in houses that had not yet caught fire. This reassured the captives a little, but soon a jar of fire oil was thrown into the room where they were staying, and the Taiping army outside began to set fire. In the midst of the fire, the captives desperately pushed the doors and smashed the windows, but it was too late. They could only scream, wail, and cry in the fire.

Xinyi Town forced the captives to dig a large pit, and coaxed the captives to dig a pit and bury the corpses. As a result, after the pits were dug, it was the captives who dug the pits that were buried.

Burning, slashing, burying alive, beheading....

Under the command of Zhou Shixiang, the Taiping army staged a horrific massacre at the mouth of the Bianjia River.

Inhumane, almost barbaric slaughter.

.......

After dawn, the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry led by Ao Bai finally arrived at Yuxinwei, which was less than three miles away from the mouth of the Bianjia River. There, there is an official road leading to the mouth of the Bianjia River. The Qing army did not continue to advance, because Aobai did not move.

In Aobai's sight, on both sides of the official road in Yujiawei, there is a log every few zhang, and the wood is connected by iron wire. On the wire, there are heads hanging one after another. From Yujiawei to the mouth of the Bianjia River, all the way is the first level.

Diksoni, Eheke, Duobi, Tong Guogang.... The familiar heads made Aobai's scalp tingle, although the sun was the head, but this official road was eerie and terrifying.
