Due to being dragged down by the dependents of the Eight Banners stationed in Jingzhou, for three whole days, Nertu and others who fled from Jingzhou City only ran to Jingmen. Just as they were respite, the bad news of the north and south roads came one after another along with the rout. What to do? The west is the reckless mountains, the east is the surging Han water, although the enemy in the north and south has stopped, but this must be temporary, once they clear the scattered countryside of the rout, if they press back again, with only more than 7,000 banner troops, more than 4,000 Mongolian horses, and 66 10,000 defeated troops that have fled to Jingmen City, can they resist?

If you can't resist it, shouldn't you find a way out early, and Nertu, who doesn't want to die, asks the people around him hopefully: "My lords, what should I do now?" ”

Ananda replied slowly: "If you go back to the prince, if you can give up the Jingzhou garrison and your family, you may still have the opportunity to retreat north." ”

"What do you mean, my lord?" Balhu jumped up. "Do you want to force Jingzhou Eight Banners to mess up first!"

Ananda looked at the red-eyed Bal Tiger: "My wife and children are gone, and I can marry and regenerate when I return to Beijing, but if I can't even keep myself, what will I talk about in the future." ”

"Bastard, I knew you had bad intentions." Balhu pounced with his fists, and the two immediately scuffled. "Bastard," Balhu cursed as he strained his hands. "Back in Beijing, Lao Tzu killed your whole family, see if you hurt!"

"Stop!" Naltu shouted, and the people on the side also persuaded him to fight, and finally separated the two cockfighting fellows. "It's really unreasonable, when is it, you two are still fighting in the nest, come here, give it to me, pull me aside."

Although Nertu is a little nervous, but the shape is indeed not optimistic, for this reason, Ba Lin said on the side: "Lord Ba, don't be wrong, Master A, I asked Jingmen Zhizhou before I came just now, there is only less than a thousand stone of grain in the city, even if the whole city is plundered, it can only let the big guy eat for ten days at most." ”

Therefore, when fleeing from Jingzhou City, they were in an unusually hurry, so the food carried by the various departments was limited, and the dependents of the Eight Banners stationed in Jingzhou even brought everything, that is, they brought less food, so once the food was exhausted, there was no need to fight this battle.

"I think what Master Ah means is that since we have reached an agreement with Hai Reverse to replace people, it is not a bad thing to let both young and old stay, at least not to let them starve to death with us." Balin's words made Balhu's expression loosen a little, and when he saw that there was a door, Balin continued. "And let go of the old and weak, we may be able to take advantage of the opportunity to rush out without pressure from the north and south."

Ba Lin's words landed, and before Bal Hu could speak, Tong Gui on the side suddenly interjected: "Lord Ba, how can you guarantee that Hai Wei will definitely settle the family members of Jingzhou Eight Banners?" Besides, if we take all the food away, it won't be enough to eat for a few days, and it won't be so easy to stand out. ”

Seeing that Bal Hu's eyes were about to widen again, Zhu Duna immediately followed Balin's words and said: "How can those greens follow us, they should all stay in Jingmen, so that they can save a lot of food, and as for letting Hai Reverse entertain the banner, we may leave a letter, saying that we will redeem it in the future." It's just not a solution, but it's better than starving to death together! ”

"Leave the Green Camp behind?" Tong Gui's eyelids jumped. "I'm afraid that before the sea rebellion arrives, the green battalion soldiers will make a mess and attack the city."

"Then kill all the Green Banner soldiers." Bal Tiger said viciously. "If you think the dead, you won't make trouble."

Kill all the Green Banner soldiers? All the Manchurian nobles present were all spirits. It's not that they can't afford to do this, but this project is huge, and they will have to suffer heavy losses under the death of the other party.

Seeing the people on the side looking at themselves with the eyes of the devil, Balhu licked his lips disappreciatively: "We have more people and fewer horses, how can we escape if we don't take some from the green camp!" ”

There is obviously some truth in this, and Ba Lin, who is basically an infantry armor and gunner, applauded his hands and agreed: "I think there are not so many horses in the green battalion, so I just took advantage of the attack to lose some manpower."

Ba Lin's words are even more sinister, but people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and when they are already in a desperate situation, they even have to kill dogs and horses to satisfy their hunger, not to mention the Han lackeys.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Duna thought about it and said again: "All towns and associations are the emperor's humerus, it is not good to be too damaged, it is better to send someone to summon them into the city in the name of military discussion, as for how to do it, after solving the green camp, how the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers retreat north must be agreed one by one."

As the sky gradually darkened, the gates of Jingmen slowly opened, and dozens of trucks with wooden barrels full of dry rice and hot soup staggered into the temporary collection point of the green camp outside the city. The already hungry Green Battalion soldiers crowded around the side of the food cart, and were loudly scolded by a group of confident officers. Since the officials above the guerrilla level have been called into the city for military discussion, there are only a few thousand left to maintain discipline, of course, there are many capital divisions, garrisons, and the like, but even if the officials of the fourth or fifth rank are defeated, they will be sent to eat.

"Not even a little oil splash!" The green battalion soldier who took half a bowl of dry rice and a bowl of hot soup cursed. "I don't have much to eat."

"Just eat it, nag something!" The arrogant Zhou Cheng soap Li struck the rice bucket with a rice spoon and scolded. "If you don't want to eat, get out of the way, there are a lot of people waiting in the back!"

"Bastard, Lao Tzu and Hai Reverse fought to the death, you don't even give Lao Tzu a full meal, Lao Tzu is desperate with you!"

The scolding of the green battalion soldiers frightened the soap li, and they only knew that they were bullying the common people and they were terrified in the face of the murderous soldiers, and some people shouted loudly in fear: "What do you want to do, come here, someone is grabbing food!" ”

As soon as they heard about grabbing food, the green battalion soldiers who didn't have their turn squeezed desperately in, and for a while, like a storm, surrounded a few buckets of rice, the green battalion soldiers from various towns and battalions, and did not control each other, began to fight, and the thousands of people present could not be stopped at all, even if there were individual divisions and garrisons who came forward, they could not restrain the other departments that were not the heads of their own battalions, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.

At this moment of extreme chaos, more than 10,000 Manmeng soldiers and horses were continuously driven out from Jingmen City, one by one with swords and bows, and their killing intent was revealed. After quietly surrounding the Green Battalion station, Balhu, who commanded the troops, gave an order, and the bows and arrows of the Mongolian soldiers and the bird guns of the Eight Banners fired a volley, which immediately kicked off the prelude to the massacre.

"What's going on?" The green battalion soldiers who were fighting in the inner circle were stunned when they heard the sound of guns. "Is it Zheng Jun calling?"

The answer was soon placed in front of the jaw-dropping Green Banner soldiers: "It's the Eight Banners Army, ah!" The Tartars are going to kill us! ”

The green battalion soldiers who were a little confused subconsciously hid in the east, but there were fierce banner soldiers and Mongolian soldiers everywhere, and the thousands of men who went up to negotiate and the garrison of the capital division were mercilessly slaughtered, and the green battalion soldiers who knew that they couldn't hide had to fight back at the moment. However, the opponents came prepared and sharpened their weapons, but the Green Flag soldiers were unorganized because they didn't bring any guys with them to eat before, and the commander was either deceived or killed. Therefore, although the desperate efforts also caused some bloodshed of the opponent, they were finally wiped out one by one by the bloodthirsty Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers in the battle.

Seeing that many bare-handed Green Flag soldiers were killed one by one by the alien masters holding torches, the Jingmen Zhizhou who was standing at the head of Jingmen City, as well as the general soldiers, deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas who were called out earlier, were all pale and trembling.

Tong Gui, who stood with a smile on his face, defended himself with a false expression: "Now that the army is short of food, it is better to kill them now than to let them throw themselves into the sea after the food is exhausted, and it may be conducive to holding on for a long time." ”

Of course, the key is the governor of Jingzhou, so after the green camp generals were taken down, Tong Gui walked to his side and patted him, but the result was so frightened that the Jinshi master knelt on the ground on the spot, seeing this scene, Tong Gui's heart was even more determined: "Lord Zhen, don't panic, the prince asked the official to explain one thing to the adult, and the adult must do it." ”

As soon as he heard that he didn't want his own life, Zhen Zhizhou hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, as long as it is explained by the prince, the lower officials will do their best, no, no, they must do it!" ”

"That's good!" Tong Gui lowered his voice. "Early tomorrow morning, our army will go north to rescue Xiangfan, but the old and weak are inconvenient to take away, so they will be handed over to Lord Zhen to take care of, if the sea is against the city to attack, does Zhen Zhizhou know what to do?"

If you really want to solve Xiangfan, how can you kill tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on your side first, but knowing that it is a nonsense, Zhen Governor's Mansion has to listen to him as the truth, and even has to take the lie as the truth: "Xiaguan understands that Xiaguan must defend Jingmen to the death to repay the country's kindness." ”

"Okay, it's worthy of the emperor's heavy responsibility, but the prince doesn't want you to stick to it, just "

Zhen Zhizhou trembled: "Tong, Lord Tong, this, this is treason, the Xiaguan family is still in the north, I really don't dare"

"How is this treason?" Tong Gui patted Zhen Zhizhou's shoulder again. "How can it be that he was forced to bend to the enemy in order to protect the whole nation." Tong Gui made a qualitative description of Zhen Zhizhou's future actions. "As long as you do this well, your family members will be my family members of the Eight Banners stationed in Jingzhou, and you will be fine." Seeing Zhen Zhizhou's dilemma, Tong Gui's face sank. "Why, you don't agree." Tong Gui made a gesture of reaching out and touching the knife. "That"

"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands." Zhen Zhizhou was shocked, he understood that in addition to Zhizhou, there were also state tongs in the city, and there were general judgments and master books in addition to state tongs, and some people came forward instead of themselves, so in a hurry, he actually knelt down with a bang. "The lower officials must do what the prince and Lord Dutong want."

"That's good, that's good!" Tong Gui said with a smile. "By the way, this official will also leave some wounded and guards here, if someone dares to disobey the yang or only sacrifice the city, Lord Zhen, you can call to play the pressure!"

"Yes, yes!" Zhen Zhizhou responded tremblingly, Tong Gui turned around and wanted to leave with satisfaction, but suddenly Zhen Zhizhou didn't know where he got the courage to grab the hem of Tong Gui's official shirt at once. "Lord Tong, you have taken all the food, what will the lower officials take to support the flag dependents!"

"That's right," Tong Gui touched his chin and looked at Zhen Zhizhou with a sneer. "That's it, Lord Zhizhou, and point out which family is the big family in the city, and I will send the Eight Banners soldiers to help you borrow food."

"No!" Zhen Zhizhou shook his head hurriedly. "Although the big families don't dare to protest, once the flag army goes north, I don't know how many people the prince will leave to take care of in Jingmen, in case a large family gathers to retaliate"

"Then let's kill all the Jingmen cities like outside the city."

"In this way, how can Hai Reverse protect the Jingzhou banner."

"That makes sense," Tong Gui nodded, thinking for a moment. "More than 4,000 banners, a total of twenty or thirty stones a day, and I ask the prince to leave you a hundred stones, enough to last until the sea comes."
