In the afternoon of the same day, the bandits outside the city attacked the city again, but this time only one building car remained.

None of the four vans helped the bandits take the city, and one was even more impossible.

After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the bandits retreated that afternoon.

Later, Li garrisoned and cleaned up the battlefield, General Li counted the casualties, General Li repaired the city wall and evacuated supplies, and General Wang led people to publicize the news of the victory throughout the city.

When the battle report came up, Xie Shence was taken aback.

In a whole day of fierce fighting, their side lost more than 100 people, more than 100 wounded, and more than 1,000 bandits died.

In such a fierce siege and defense battle, the total casualties on both sides were only two thousand!

This is quite normal.

However, Xie Shence, who had experienced the war between the Northwest and Xianbei, especially Xie Shence, who had personally commanded the Battle of Hulu's Belly Mountain, knew that death was inevitable in a real war. But it is by no means the general population that "annihilating 20,000 troops" means killing 20,000 people. Crippling and scattering 20,000 people until they are unorganized and can no longer affect the situation of the war, it is also called annihilation.

Therefore, in an ordinary engagement, one or two tenths of a dead is the limit. One side has lost more than 30%, and it is basically on the verge of collapse.

Like the Hulu Belly Mountain Battle commanded by Xie Shence, it is extremely rare to have more than half of the casualties.

That is, the Northwest Army and the ≥ facing a desperate situation, w↖ww. Xianbei Iron Cavalry came out capable, and ordinary armies, including the Qin army, tried their best to avoid casualties of this level.

Therefore, Xie Yi was distressed, Zhao Qi was distressed, and Xie Shence was even more distressed afterwards.

So Xie Shence was shocked at this time.

Compared to that time, such casualties were simply negligible.

Xie Shence stood on the city wall, his hand pressed on the masonry, and General Secretary Yang stood behind Xie Shence.

"Old Yang, do you know? I was shocked just now. ”

General Secretary Yang said: "What is the shock of the Admiral? ”

"The fight was so fierce, and the casualties were only so small."

Mr. Yang didn't understand what Xie Shence meant.

"Do you think, in the battle with the Duanbu Iron Cavalry back then, four or five out of ten of the dead in our Northwest Army were killed, and the Duanbu was wiped out. That's the real big war, the real terrible battle. And today, you see, tens of thousands of people died in wars, and less than one in ten died. ”

General Secretary Yang thought for a while and said, "That's the Admiral's use of soldiers like a god. ”

"Bullshit is like a god!" Xie Shence scolded loudly. After scolding, Xie Shence's voice suddenly became smaller.

"Do you know what my uncle said about me later? You don't know. But you must know how the DPRK and China impeached me at that time, right? He was so happy, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his soldiers, and buried thousands of elites for the personal benefit of one person, and there was an old imperial history who said something that I still remember. ”

"He said, 'The son of a sigh does not see his father, nor does he hear his husband's voice; He also said, "It was not your brother Lao Tzu who died, why did you step on the bones of the soldiers and become the commander of the cavalry." ”

"The first part was shown to me by my grandfather, and the second part is that he scolded me when he met me not long after he became the commander of the Ti Cavalry."

Xie Shence was silent.

Mr. Yang was behind him and didn't know what to say. He knew what Xie Shence said, especially when Lao Yushi scolded Xie Shence, he was there.

"I know why he scolded me. Because, his youngest son died in the gourd belly mountain. Well, that was his youngest and last son. The previous boss, the second and third also died in the northwest. ”

Xie Shence lay on the city wall, looked at the dark mountains in the distance, and rubbed his cheeks vigorously.

"In war, there will always be death. I know that. I used to think that it was a great thing to behead Xianbei for a few thousand. But then I found out that I had thousands of dead brothers too. And I don't know any of these brothers. ”

"Just because my surname is Xie, because I am Xie Yi's nephew, and because I am the little marquis, if I say a word, those people will die for the sake of Dajin. I thought that this is the power in hand, this is the life and death, this is the pursuit of men, but now I feel that I was wrong."

Xie Shence sniffed hard twice, then ripped off the water bag on his waist and poured two sips.

"Let's go, go down and have a look. It's time to close the net. ”

Then, the two of them strode down the city.

After the big battle, especially after the big victory, people will always be tired and slack, the defenders of Jincheng are like this, and the three thousand soldiers who come to help are also like this.

At night, the soldiers, who had been tired all day, fell asleep after a full meal. There was an earth-shattering snoring sound from the barracks. Patches of black clouds drifted over Jincheng, and the moon was very bright, but the vision was not clear.

The walls of Jincheng are quiet.

The guards stared wide-eyed at the clearing beneath the city, carefully watching for any other sounds other than birds and insects.

Suddenly, one by one, the soldiers of the city fell. Then on the wall above the city gate, a torch shook violently, as if painting in the darkness of the night.

The sound of the axle clicking sounded, and it was clear in the silence of the night.

Bands of black-clad soldiers streamed in. Then disappear into the night.

"Quick, over there! Over there! ”

"Made, you count! Mess up Lao Tzu and cut you! ”

"This way, this way! Where are the dogs going? ”

"Fire Oil Flint"

The voices that could be suppressed came and went, and someone was busy directing the men in black who had entered the city to move quickly in the designated direction.

Five miles away from Jincheng, a mountain forest was filled with a terrifying atmosphere. Even the fierce beasts that came out at night to hunt for food did not dare to approach, and the birds had already flown away.

The horse kicked impatiently and wanted to snort, but found that it was covered with a chew and could not make a sound, so it moved irritably.

The man on horseback felt the horse's emotion, so he gently stroked the horse's neck, like a lover's murmur.

The horses ceased to be irritable and quieted down.

But the man on horseback grew irritable.

"Why hasn't there been any movement yet!"

"Maybe it's going to take a while. If it is launched without adequate preparation, the city gate will not be easy to control. ”

"What you said makes sense, then wait a little longer and you have to take Jincheng tonight! Otherwise, our brother's suspicion will not be cleared. ”

"yes"

The two stopped talking.

However, it was only quiet for a moment, and the person who spoke earlier couldn't help it again.

"Made! There are dead people in our own military camp, but they want to suspect us, let us take the lead, and break many brothers! ”

The other sighed and said, "Who's to say it's not!" My brother didn't agree to send troops, but the big boss had to fight. If we can't win the fight, my mother will pour sewage on our heads if there is a little thing. You don't know that at noon today, my brother's face can drip water! ”

"What does it mean to be dripping?"

"Unlearned things mean cloudy and gloomy! You look, if you beat Jincheng tonight, it's okay, and you can still correct my brother's name, if you can't beat it, hum, it's not just us who go back, but my brother will also be punished! ”

"Hey, I said brother, our people are all in, where can I still beat my brother, look! It's on fire! It's on fire! ”

"Really! Boys! Get ready to attack the city! The first to enter the city is the first to get the treasure! ”

"Whew!"

"Kill!"

"Haha! Snatch up that group of dog officers! ”

"Silver Woman"

Then the whole forest was in a stir, and the sound of swords clashing and the shouts of people suddenly burst out at this moment.

The torches were lit, like a prairie fire, and the stars converged into a sea of fire, surging towards the north gate of Jincheng.

At this time, in Jincheng City, the battle was in full swing.

The oil canister was shattered, and then the torches fell, igniting the oil, and the street was illuminated by the light of the fire.

"You've been tricked!"

"Haha! Dog offal! Once you're in Grandpa's urn, don't even think about going out! ”

"Stick out your head obediently and let grandpa cut it off!"

"Those who kill their comrades and surrender will not die!"

"Those who surrender their names will not die!"

On the street, 700 bandits were blocked in the middle, the surrounding rooftops were full of archers, and on both sides of the street, there were heavy infantry armed with broadswords and thick shields, especially the neighing of war horses.

The seven hundred men who had entered the city were brought into the encirclement.

"Brothers! We're just going to have to kill it! to survive! ”

"Kill me!"

"Kill!"

"Fight!"

Those who can enter the city are brave warriors, at least there is no shortage of bravery, so they used the big knives in their hands to smash the doors and windows sealed by yellow mud, trying to break a passage. Someone climbed up the pillar and tried to kill the archers by injuring them to the roof.

"Nobody wants to surrender?"

Xie Shence tilted his head and asked Xiang Wushan.

Osan hesitated and said, "This does not seem to be available at the moment, yes, not at the moment." ”

Xie Shence nodded and said, "You have said that it is now, that is, there may be in the future, let them continue to shout, and offer the name of the person who will not die." I don't believe that there is not a single one of the hundreds of people who is afraid of death! They are all widows without parents, wives and children. Son? ”

After Xie Shence finished speaking, he turned around and left.

It's just the appetizer for tonight, and the main course is yet to come!

Wushan hurriedly ordered to go down, and then caught up with Xie Shence.

So on this street, the archers stood on the rooftops, hid behind thick shields, and shot deadly arrows at the people below, and the heavy infantry at both ends also held large shields with swords, and rolled into the middle. And there are people on the roof shouting loudly, "Those who kill their comrades and surrender will not die."

The screams were intertwined with the shouts of killing, sweat and blood blended, dripping on the cold masonry, reflecting the firelight, and in the blink of an eye, it was trampled by big feet.

The men and horses outside the city were about to be killed at the city gate, and Xie Shence went up to the city wall at this time.

"My lord, there are 5,000 people this time!"

Xie Shence smiled, which was considered to be in line with Wushan's excitement, and said: "Five thousand people, plus seven hundred in the city, plus more than one thousand during the day, there are less than seven thousand people, and the other party still has tens of thousands of troops, so it won't collapse so casually." ”

"Lord Admiral, there is a question in your humble position, and I don't know whether to ask or not."

"You say."

Osan then wondered, "Why didn't the Admiral flood or lack their grain and grass this time?" As far as the lowly people know, their food and grass are scarce in their eyes. ”

Xie Shence looked at the closer and closer firelight and said, "The situation is different. What's more, it rained before, and there was no way to burn it, even if the weather was dry, you knew that you would burn their grain and grass, how could they be defenseless? Moreover, the most important thing is that it is not difficult to defeat them, but it is difficult to kill them all, and I am going to destroy these people. ”

The firelight was getting closer and closer, and the jumping firelight reflected on Xie Shence's eyes, as if it was spewing out of Xie Shence's eyes.

Osan looked at Xie Shence, and thought of those secret weapons again, and couldn't help but shudder.

Near, near, close to the towering walls.

The gates of the city are shut.

The two cavalrymen at the head saw the closed gates, and then seemed to see the light reflected from the iron armor on the walls.

Hit the trick?

So he shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

"Retreat! Get back! ”

"We've been tricked!"

"The gates are not open!"

"Go back, I've been tricked!"

The two shouted, but not many people heard.

The exuberant shouts and screams drowned out the life-saving signals that the two of them had torn out their throats.

But there are still some people who hear it, and many people who find out.

Because these people are in the front row.

The men quickly understood the meaning of the leader's shout.

The gates are not open! Did we get it?

What does it mean that the gates are not open?

That is, the person who went in before is dead! We're running into someone's pocket!

So someone panicked.

As more and more people saw the scene of the city gates closed, more and more people panicked.

panicked, naturally panicked, and more panicked.

The people in front should run back, and the people behind should squeeze forward without knowing the situation.

For a while, the stampede continued.

At this time, pitch-black balls fell into the crowd with sparks.

"Ahh What East"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Huge explosions rang out one after another in the crowd.

Dazzling fires exploded in the crowd, and the bandits lost consciousness in an instant.

The soldiers of the city were lying on their stomachs in the aisles, covering their ears and shrunken up, trembling as they felt the tremors of the city walls.

"Put!"

Osan roared.

Then the explosions under the city rang out again.

"Put!"

Fry again.

After three times, the gate opened again, and a black torrent rushed out of the gate.

The sharp straight knife slashed through the body, spilling a cavity of blood. The horse's hooves trampled on the man, making the sound of bones shattering.

At dawn, Xie Shence finished cleaning up the battlefield.

Behead two thousand! One thousand and a half captives!

With the addition of 700 people in the city, the bandits lost more than 3,000 people in this battle.

The corners of Xie Shence's mouth curled slightly.

Do you think that the more than 1,000 people who fled fled back on their own?

After tying everyone up and taking them to the school yard of the camp in batches, Youtiqi asked loudly, "Do you want to live?" ”

"Do you want to see your father, wife, and children?"

"If you want to live, go to the Black Flag. If you don't want to live, if you want to die with the dead outside the city, don't move! ”

The people on the field were like puppets, barely reacting.

Most of these people are injured, and some of them can't hear anymore. Because of the huge impact of the night, my mind was a little uninvited.

There was no movement, so Tiqi interrogated them in groups of five.

Those who are willing to live stand under the black flag, those who want to be brave and righteous are gathered together, and those who are deaf are gathered in a separate area next to them.

"Listen to those who want to live, pick up the knife and kill those who don't want to live! You can live! Otherwise, I will kill you! ”

"Think of your wives and children! Think of your old fathers and mothers! They are still waiting for you at home! You're dead! What do they do? In the future, there will be other men who will beat your parents, sleep with your mother-in-law, and abuse your children! Would you like to? If you don't want to, take up the sword, kill those people, and you will live! ”

"You are all good people, why are you thieves?! Because of those people! They tempt you! They are the ones who have brought you to this dead end! They are the ones who have led you down the path of rebellion against the court! Kill them! You are still the people of Dajin! You're still the same you! ”

"Let's do it! Kill them and you will be free! Then go back. Let more people be free! ”

"You are Jin people! Not a bandit! ”

Under the persuasion of Ti Qi over and over again, in front of Ti Cai's bloody butcher knife, some people finally reacted, picked up the butcher knife, and walked towards their original companions.

Some people struggle internally, but their movements are very steady, and some people can't even hold a knife. There were also people who reacted that they wanted to kill their companions, and then they would rather die, and these people were killed on the spot by Tiqi.

Xie Shence's face was gloomy when he saw this scene.

All persons are equal before the law. In an era when the rule of law is in the hands of a small number of people, everyone is equal in the face of interests.

Especially in the face of such interests of life and death.

Xie Shence said goodbye and finally walked out of the school grounds.

Of the more than 1,000 people, it is estimated that less than 500 will survive in the end.

Of course, it is only temporary.

Out of the big school, Xie Shence saw Mr. Yang who was hurrying to this side.

"How's that going?" Xie Shence asked General Secretary Yang.

General Secretary Yang replied: "Back to the Admiral, only more than 80 people have survived, and half of them have been interrogated. ”

Xie Shence nodded and said, "No matter what, these people are the key, and they will definitely be able to play a role."

Mr. Yang nodded and said, "The silver."

"Fat!" Xie Shence said categorically.

Mr. Yang nodded in agreement, and then went down.

There was blood on the school grounds, but in the yamen, it was a different scene.

The interrogation was in full swing, and the extremely methodical interrogation method of Tiqi made everyone have to spit out the truth and then record it.

After that, the first-hand information from these interrogations was immediately sent to the front office, and dozens of Jincheng scholars and old tents were working hard to write, and in front of them, thick papers were already piled up. These papers have been copied according to the interrogation records.

By the afternoon, everything was ready.

Of the more than 1,000 captives, in addition to more than 200 who were deaf, only more than 3 survived. These people are people who have killed at least one of their companions.

Subsequently, Xie Shence ordered that all these people be released.

This move surprised Da Li, Xiao Li, Lao Wang and Li Shoubei.

That's more than 500 captives!

But thank God for wanting to release, who dares to say no?

Not to mention the ingenious design of Tiqi last night, even the "heavenly thunder" that Tiqi declared to the outside world is enough to make people obey.

God is pitiful, the veteran who has fought for so many years has never seen such a powerful thing. It's just a black ball the size of a small wine jar, and it can make such a big movement. And it can kill so many people.

In fact, the damage of the bomb last night was not the main thing, its sound was the main thing.

The sky is cracking, the whole ear is deaf, and the earth is shaking

Most of the people were stunned and at a loss, and some people thought that the gods were angry and sent down heavenly punishments, and when they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, they were taken away by the straight knives of the black armor guard cavalry.
