Chapter 1081: Burning Tongzhou

readx; The knife pressed his neck, how dare Sun Degong snort! And the general still said in Manchu: "The city gate opens so slowly, you are looking for death!" ā€

The soldiers guarding the city gate are also traitors under Sun Degong, and when they see that "Uncle Man" is angry, who dares to squeak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Although Sun Degong felt that something was wrong, he had to move his head as soon as he moved, and he was even more frightened, and he didn't dare to say half a word.

At this time, the 300 cavalry entered the city without saying a word, and disarmed all the Qing troops near the city gate without saying a word. Only then did these traitors know that something was wrong, but before they could react, the tower-like general suddenly waved his hand and shouted in a low voice in Chinese: "Don't leave any left, kill them all!" ā€

At the sound of an order, these traitors were immediately covered from behind, and then cut their throats with sharp knives. As soon as the throat was broken, the air could no longer be inhaled into the lungs, and these guys, who were willing to be Manchu slaves, struggled in vain for a while, and then all died tragically on the spot. scared Sun Degong so much that he peed his pants on the spot, thinking that he would soon be subjected to the same treatment.

However, the man did not want his life, but ordered his subordinates to tie him up, and sent troops to take full control of the West City Gate. In a short time, three hundred horsemen appeared from the night like ghosts, this time without the bells of their coats, only the slight sound of horses' hooves on the ground.

When the three hundred cavalry quickly entered the city, Sun Degong was completely desperate, because at first glance it was the armor of the Ming army. Only then did he know that he had been won open the city gate, but it was too late to regret it!

When the tower-like general saw the arrival of reinforcements, he immediately stepped forward and whispered to the heroic general at the front: "Regiment commander, it's all done, and you still have a leader!" ā€

"Black has merit, it's really yours, how do you look at it, it's a Tartar!" The general seemed extremely relaxed, and in such a tense situation, he was still in the mood to ridicule him.

The general named Hei Yougong immediately blushed and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, if it weren't for the military order issued by the regiment commander, Lao Tzu would rather have his head fall off than make a rat's tail hang like this, how ugly and ugly it would be!" I said, Commander, you have to talk about it, and you must not tell anyone about this in the future, otherwise I will have to stick my head in the crotch of my pants and be a man in the future! ā€

"Okay, okay, when did I, Li Laiheng, pit my brother?" The young general smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, it's important to get down to business." Call that boss! ā€

Sun Degong was immediately pushed and came to the young general's horse. The young general glanced him up and down and said contemptuously: "It seems that you are Han, what is your name?" ā€

Sun Degong had a ghost in his heart, how could he dare to report his real name, so he had to lie: "Back to the general's words, the villain's name is Sun San, but he is just guarding the city gate army and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty... Ah no, Tartar, surrendering Tartar is really helpless, and I hope that the general will spare his life! ā€

After hearing this, the young general grinned: "It's easy to survive." You lead the way, and immediately go to the storehouse where the grain is stocked. If you meet the Qing army on the road, you will say that the emperor sent you to transport grain. If you're not honest..."

The soldier holding Sun Degong immediately pressed his neck with a sharp knife, and Sun Degong immediately felt a chill that penetrated his bones and hit his bone marrow, so frightened that he said in a loud voice: "The villain understands, the villain understands!" ā€

So the Ming army left 150 people to guard the city gate, and the rest, under the leadership of Sun Degong, quickly rushed to the Tongzhou Health Bureau, which was hoarding grain.

Tongzhou Health Department is located in the center of Tongzhou City, which was originally the official office of Tongzhou Wei, one of the 26 guards of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing army occupied Tongzhou, they concentrated all the grain looted from all over the city here, which can be said to be piled up.

The entrance of the health department was also guarded by soldiers of the Han Army Banner, and when he saw that it was the commander Sun Degong, he did not suspect it and immediately opened the door. As soon as the gate opened, the Ming army immediately pounced like a wolf, killed the doorman with three strikes and five divisions, and quickly rushed in. The inside of the health department was empty, the houses were full of food, and even the yard was stacked with rice bags and flour bags in the open air.

Seeing this, Hei Yougong was overjoyed and said, "Regiment leader, hurry up and order the grain to be moved!" ā€

The young general glared at him and said, "Just kidding, there are only a few of us, and with so much food, we can't move it in ten days and a half months!" Immediately light a fire and burn it all! ā€

Hei Yougong was immediately stunned, and the surrounding Ming troops were all stupid on the spot. They are all peasants, and the most taboo thing for farmers is two things: one is to destroy the cultivated land, and the other is to waste the grain, because the cultivated land and the grain are their lives!

The young general saw that everyone was not moving, but he was a little anxious, and said sharply: "It will be ordered to burn grain, but you still don't do it!" ā€

Only then did everyone wake up, and they quickly took out the fire fold they had brought with them, dismantled the window lattice as a torch, and then lit it and then lit the grain pile in turn. Soon, the flames were crawling all over the granary, and the flames were blazing, and even if you tried to save them, you couldn't save them.

Seeing that the fire was raging, the Ming army who set the fire was full of tears, because these grains were harvested after a year of hard work by their fathers and villagers, but now they can only be burned!

The young general also gritted his teeth with hatred, waved his hand and said, "Withdraw!" ā€

The crowd immediately swarmed out, turned over their horses, and quickly rushed towards the west gate. At this time, the flames rose into the sky, which had already alarmed the defenders of several other city gates, and a large number of Qing troops were hurrying in. But they were all on foot, but the Ming army was all on horseback, how could they stop it! Occasionally, some people who did not know how to stand in the way were immediately knocked away by the whistling horses, and then trampled into meatloaf by the hooves of countless horses.

Before the tea was done, the Ming army had already returned to the West City Gate. At this time, the city was already full of people, and there were panicked cries everywhere: "Go to the water!" The enemy is entering the city! ā€

The young general immediately ordered to go out of the city, and after the subordinate general Hei Yougong personally broke off, he did not forget to set fire on the tower and at the city gate. This is a good thing, the Qing army just wants to pursue, and they can't get out of the city from here.

At this time, Sun Degong was also held on a horse by a Ming cavalryman, seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from Tongzhou City, he also knew that a catastrophe was coming, and desperately told the young general to forgive, and said that he was old and young, and he had not done anything bad after surrendering.

The young general smiled and said, "How can I be willing to kill you with a knife?" You are also Han Chinese, you should know what it means to be a 'prisoner', right? ā€

Sun Degong's face immediately turned to ashes. He was a general of the Ming army, and of course he knew the meaning of "offering prisoners". Offering prisoners is the most solemn of the "five rites" in ancient China, namely auspicious rites, fierce rites, military rites, guest rites, and jia rites. Whenever the army was victorious in a foreign battle, a solemn ceremony was held in the capital, where the prisoners were presented to the emperor, the battle was reported, and the prisoners of war were disposed of.

Generally speaking, there is only one way to dispose of it, and that is to kill, and it is to kill it by the most cruel method, specifically in the Ming Dynasty, it was Ling Chi to death. Sun Degong was extremely frightened, he really regretted not being at the beginning, thinking that whether he died in the battle without surrendering his Qing forces at the beginning, or was killed by the Ming army just now, at most he would lose his head. This is good, a thousand cuts!
