Chapter 219

It's too late, it's too fast.

The Liao general on the tower of the city is undoubtedly a ruthless man, he sent a hundred Liao horsemen, he never thought about letting them return to the city alive, his purpose is only to destroy these eight unintentional carts, for things that do not understand, there is only one way to reassure himself, that is, to destroy it.

The Liao general ordered the Liao army guarding the city gate to close the city gate immediately after one hundred Liao horsemen went out.

A hundred Liao cavalry may know their mission, maybe this is originally their own volition, whether it is the Liao army or the Ming army, the soldiers who know what they should do are terrible.

The cavalry quickly pounced on the cart after leaving the city, and the veteran knew his fate when the city gate was opened.

They have no choice of their own destiny.

But, they can choose how they want to die.

As the cavalry rushed towards them, the sixteen veterans made eye contact only for a moment.

It is enough to have this moment.

The moment the hundred Liao horsemen rushed to the back of the cart and raised the scimitar, they didn't even feel fear, and they were already in ashes.

Sixteen veterans detonated eight truckloads of gunpowder at the same time three feet from the city gate.

Within a radius of three zhang, it was instantly flattened, leaving only the Liao soldiers on the city tower stunned and puzzled.

At this time, the hearts of countless veterans in the Ming army once again stirred up the tragedy of the past.

This tragedy comes from the pride in the hearts of veterans.

People without pride cannot appreciate the tragedy engraved in the depths of their hearts.

The vitality of the military soul is infinite, as long as there is one person left in an army. After the reorganization, through this person, it will be at some point. Instantly spread to the entire army.

This is why an army needs to find a way to let one or two people survive at the last moment.

Because that's the seed, the seed of the soul.

For a time, the soldiers of the Ming Army in the middle of the road launched an attack on Yinzhou City amid the spontaneous shouts of the adjutant.

The tentative war then turned into a general offensive.

Ding Sijin did not hesitate, waved his flag and ordered the cavalry on both sides to move forward at the same time to meet the middle road.

At this time, the Ming army would no longer consider battle losses. Not to mention thinking about the strength of the Liao army, what is surging in their hearts is to set foot in Yinzhou.

Like the arrows of locusts, patches of Ming troops fell. But it couldn't stop the Ming soldiers from charging.

At the cost of the lives of the Ming soldiers, this time the four board cars successfully advanced to the gate of the southern city.

This announced the fall of Yinzhou City.

When the cart advanced under the city gate, the Liao soldiers on the city tower could no longer cause damage to the cart below except for filling the groove of the city gate. Irrigation is to extinguish the fire. But the four carts were not set on fire, and the gunpowder was all on board.

The soldiers of the Liao army witnessed a strange thing.

At this moment, the Ming army rushed to both sides of the city gate like a tide, away from the city gate, as if away from the demons, and the speed of running was even harder than when Fang had just charged.

What's going on, the Liao army on the city tower will never be able to understand the reason.

Because the violent explosion of four carts of gunpowder blew them up along with the castle tower.

The next deal was taken for granted by the Ming soldiers.

The cavalry that followed on both sides poured into the blown up gates like a tidal wave. At least within a radius of five zhang from the city gate, it is impossible to encounter resistance from the Liao army again. Even if the Liao army is not dead, it will no longer have the will to resist.

Ding Sijin is a wicked man, and he knows that he is a ruthless man from the battle of Jiangzhou in Southern Tang.

After the Ming army broke into Yinzhou City, they captured a large number of Liao soldiers.

When his commander asked him how to dispose of the Liao prisoners, he only said one sentence, "These dog mongrels!" You go and interrogate it, and all those who have been to the Central Plains will be buried alive, and they will do so in the future. ”

More than 20,000 Liao soldiers in Yinzhou City, in addition to the remnants led by Yeluwan, who were killed at the city tower, killed after the Ming army entered the city, and Yeluwan, who secretly escaped from the north gate, were buried alive in round after round of questioning by the Ming generals.

At the beginning, the commander of the Ming army was really asking, if he had been to the Central Plains, he would be buried alive, and if he had not been to the Central Plains, he would be drawn to the other side.

However, the Liao army took too many prisoners, and there were only three commanders of the Ming army, so they couldn't ask at all, so the commander asked the captain to do it, and then the captain asked the team to do .......

In the end, it was the veterans who did it, and the veterans asked after capturing a prisoner of the Liao army, did they go to the Central Plains?

Without waiting for the Liao prisoners to answer, the veteran replied to himself, "I have been." So, buried alive.

Five days later, when Ding Sijin realized that the situation was not right, there was no longer a single living prisoner of the Liao army.

It is also strange to say that the Ming army's cruel handling of the Liao prisoners was supported by the people of Yinzhou City.

Of course, this has an important relationship with the fact that the soldiers of the Ming army did not disturb the people and did not loot the people.

The soldiers of the Ming army firmly guarded this bottom line, and the veterans knew that disposing of the prisoners of the Liao army had violated the military discipline of the Ming army, so they did not dare to disobey this bottom line no matter what, because they knew that if burying the prisoners of the Liao army alive would make Baili Wuji angry, then robbing the people would really make them beheaded.

In the hearts of veterans, that is God.

If these veterans are allowed to hear who dares to slander Baili Wuji, then this person is no longer a person, but a corpse.

The same is true for the soldiers themselves, no one dares to violate the bottom line of robbing the people.

It is precisely by sticking to this bottom line that the Ming army can gain the support of the people and gain a firm foothold in Yinzhou, which has been run by the Li family for many years.

In fact, there is another important reason for this, that is, thanks to the Liao army's actions of fighting grass valley after entering Yinzhou, if there is no Liao army's misdeeds, there is no comparison, and there will be no such harmonious military-civilian relations as now.

In this battle, the casualties of the Ming army were miserable, more than 2,100 people were killed, more than 3,000 people were wounded, a total of more than 5,000 people, nearly 30% of the battle damage, but the wounded were all wounded by arrows, and most of the wounded soldiers could return to the team after treatment.

And the military doctors set up by Baili Wuji in the army are the biggest guarantee for the wounded soldiers.

Ding Sijin was very worried in his heart, he was afraid that this act of disposing of the prisoners would make it difficult for him to explain to the emperor, and he did not dare to report the battle situation to Jinling.

In the end, under the explanation of the veterans, Ding Sijin finally truthfully sent a war report to Jinling.

The veterans told Ding Sijin that as long as he reported it truthfully, the punishment stick would always be raised high and gently lowered.

The saying that veterans are oilers has been true since ancient times.

When Yinzhou City was occupied by the Ming army, Chai Rong led his army west through the Great Wall and approached Xiazhou City.

By evening, Chai Rong's headquarters had already been stationed outside Xiazhou City.

The scouts of the former army of the Zhou army had quickly made contact with Guo Jin, the envoy of Zhangwu Jiedu.

The two armies agreed to launch a joint general attack on Xiazhou the next morning.

When Li Yiyin learned that the Zhou army was approaching Xiazhou City from the east, he sat on the ground. (To be continued......)
