Chapter 550: The Capture of Bazhou (Part II)
The tide of soldiers from the Beijing camp poured into Bazhou, and the small city was like a broken river embankment, which was ravaged by the flood in the blink of an eye.
Qin Kanzhi said that the end of Bazhou was doomed.
Regret, disappointment, compassion, helplessness...... All kinds of emotions instantly poured into his mind, Qin Kan stood like a statue outside the city, staring at this city of suffering, countless confusions rose like soap bubbles and shattered.
What's wrong with you? When the people took up their weapons, they were the ones they had to exterminate.
What is wrong with the officers and men of the Beijing camp? They need military merit, and their duty is to bring the power of the emperor to the world.
What's wrong with the people of Bazhou? Corrupt officials and evil officials have been poisoning and tyrannizing the state for many years, and the court has lost its credibility, and the people just want to make a way to live for themselves.
What's wrong with Tang Zihe? If she doesn't stand up and shout, there will still be countless people standing up on the ground within a hundred miles of Bazhou, how can she blame a wave in the ocean?
It seems that no one is wrong, but why is the city in front of you in the endless slaughter?
The screams of killing in the city were intertwined, the fire and green smoke were rising and rolling all over the city of Bazhou, the screams of women, the crying of children, and the whole city seemed to be whimpering.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter how high the fighting spirit is, it is in vain, and strength can crush everything. Tang Zihe couldn't shake the court after all, this seemingly scarred country still has its unshakable heritage, and the mountains and rivers under the joint rule of emperors and ministers for more than a hundred years are not something that a weak woman can overturn.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers entered the city, and the soldiers seized the east gate of Bazhou. The gates were wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, and the city had fallen into the hands of the imperial court, and there was no easier place.
"Ding Shun, you lead five hundred young soldiers into the city." Looking at the flaming city from afar, Qin Kan gave an order tiredly.
Ding Shun shook his head and said with a bitter face: "Master Hou forgives his sins, his subordinates are afraid of seeing blood, and they ......will faint when they see blood."
Qin Kan snorted, he understood what Ding Shun meant. Although Ding Shun often does some lawless things. It's not that he hasn't killed innocent people, but he obviously doesn't want to use knives on people on such a large scale.
In a slightly better mood, Qin Kan said coldly: "You and five hundred young soldiers enter the city as a team of supervisors, and the soldiers will kill the people with weapons." If anyone dares to do anything against a defenceless people? or any adultery or plunder. No mercy! ”
Ding Shun rushed to clench his fists: "Yes!" ”
…………
Tang Zihe's heart is like ashes.
Looking at the continuous influx of officers and soldiers under the city, one by one the simple people fell under the swords of the officers and soldiers, and the screams of women and children were filled everywhere. The cry of the child, the moaning of the old man...... Her heart seemed to be crushed by a large, invisible hand.
The first target captured by the officers and soldiers after entering the city was the head of the city, and under the stone steps of the city wall, Tang Zihe's guards and the rebels left at the head of the city had a tragic battle with the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
"Dog officers and soldiers, fight with you!" An old man with gray hair staggered forward, holding a spear he had picked up out of nowhere.
Before the tip of the spear could pierce the spear, a rain of arrows had turned him into a hedgehog, and the old man fell in a pool of blood.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp stepped over the old man with expressionless faces, and kept moving forward, forward......
Killed by those who wield weapons, this is a military order passed down by the generals, and the military order is like a mountain.
A snowflake as white as a feather silently fell on the old man's sideburns, reflecting his gray hair.
"It's snowing......" Tang Zihe stood at the head of the city and stretched out his hand, catching one piece after another of the white, Tang Zihe suddenly giggled, his smile was crazy, and his laughter was creepy.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp are still advancing to the stone steps at the head of the city, everyone is fighting bravely, and the red eyes look at Tang Zihe, who is proud and independent at the head of the city, she is a military merit in their eyes, a future, and a bargaining chip for his wife.
"Marshal Tang, the brothers can't stand it, the last general will escort you to break through, leave Bazhou to join General Yang Hu or General Zhang Mao, and the great cause still has something to do!" A rebel general knelt on one knee in front of her, covered in blood.
"Run? I, Tang Zihe, owe so many lives to the people of Bazhou, where am I going? Tang Zihe was still laughing wildly.
Laughter suddenly, Tang Zihe pointed to the handsome flag of the military camp tent outside the city, and shouted with tears: "Qin Kan, everything is the sin of my Tang Zihe, I will pay back my sins, I just ask your soldiers not to hurt the people after they enter the city!" ”
Saying that, Tang Zihe drew his sword, closed his eyes completely, and wiped his backhand on his neck.
Qin Kan stood outside the city, watching Tang Zihe draw his sword and kill himself, his face was bruised, his teeth were gritted loudly, but he didn't say a word.
Just when Tang Zihe's sword touched the electric flint of his neck, a crossbow arrow shot out in the crowd, hitting Tang Zihe's right wrist holding the sword, and the crossbow arrow shot through her hand, Tang Zihe snorted, and the sword fell to the ground.
Ding Shun and the five hundred young soldiers rushed to the head of the city like crazy, slashing left and right, repelling the few remaining rebels at the head of the city, and then the five hundred young soldiers surrounded Tang Zihe's regiment, whether it was the rebel army who wanted to save the commander or the soldiers of the Beijing camp who wanted to capture Tang Zihe's military exploits, they were all mercilessly slashed back by the young soldiers with knives.
"The rebel Tang Zihe is the Qin prisoner designated by the Marquis of Qin, you bastards want military merits and want to go crazy, even the people that the Hou Ye wants dare to rob, don't you want to die?" Ding Shunyang's knife face was murderous.
Tang Zihe fell to the ground, holding his bleeding wrist, and said angrily: "Ding Shun, Shi can be killed, don't think it's ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ding Shun slashed at the back of Tang Zihe's neck with a palm, and Tang Zihe fainted in response.
"Take her back and hand her over to Master Hou!" Ding Shun waved his hand.
…………
…………
The gloomy sky, snowflakes falling one by one, soon covered the ground with a layer of crystal white, and the flawless white snow covered all the sorrow and blood in the world.
The war to regain the city continues, and the people are still resisting, but they have been suppressed in the inner city by the soldiers of the Jingying camp.
Dozens of knights were ordered by Qin Kan to proclaim the benevolence of the imperial court to the people of Bazhou and the promise not to kill any innocent people, but the despair of the people turned into tragedy full of fish and death, and no one was willing to believe Qin Kan's promise, so batch after batch of fierce and fearless to launch a suicidal charge against the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
Nearly 3,000 people fell in pools of blood, and the snow soon covered the corpses all over the ground, as well as the sorrow of their lives.
"The unarmed court will not commit any crimes! Fathers and fellow villagers, believe me, if you put down your weapons, you will have a way to live! ”
Ding Shun, as the overseer, almost knelt down for the people.
Finally, a timid civilian, trembling all over, tentatively put down his weapon with trembling hands, and silently took two steps towards the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp really did not kill him.
With the first person, there is naturally a second, and a third......
After the worst, the people and rebels in Bazhou surrendered.
On the fourteenth day of the second year of Zhengde, on the day of the first snow, the imperial court recovered Bazhou. (To be continued......)
