The army rested on the shore and waited for the night to come. Because of Ning Yuan's defeat and indignation, Nurhachi issued another order to slaughter all the soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island, leaving no one behind.

There are more than 10,000 people on the island, and both sides of the war are their own masters, so it is normal to exterminate the defenders, but it is too hurtful to slaughter the ordinary people who have no ability to resist! Ao Bai felt that what the Jurchens needed most was not the talents who fought the war, but the education of etiquette. They are all barbarians, who only know how to eat the jungle, and do not know etiquette and morality. It is easy for such people to engage in sabotage, but it is difficult to engage in construction.

Nurhachi was clearly angry, and if no one raised objections, the matter would be settled. Ao Bai thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, stood up and knelt in front of Nurhachi, and said, "The slave has a word, and the Great Khan must be informed." ”

Nurhachi frowned and said, "Say it." ”

Not killing innocents indiscriminately is the most basic bottom line of being a human being. Regardless of whether you will be annoyed by the "wild boar skin" or not, I can't sit idly by. Ao Bai raised his head and said with a straight face: "Great Khan, I don't think it's appropriate to slaughter the island." ”

Nurha's brows furrowed even more, and he said angrily: "What did you say? ”

Ao Bai looked at Nurhachi squarely and said slowly: "Great Khan, if we slaughter the soldiers and civilians of Juehua Island, it will be like showing the Han people that if the city is breached, it will be a dead end. This incident will deepen the hatred between the Han people and us, and it will be more difficult for the Han people in our country to govern. In addition, this move will also cause more Han people to follow the example of the Ming army in Ningyuan City, defend the city to the death, and resist with all their might. This will not be beneficial to the future development of our country! I think it's better not to kill those who descend, and it's better to catch them back and be Ahha. Please think again! ”

Dolgon also immediately stood up and said, "Father Khan, I agree with Aobai's statement, please think twice. ”

The people around are quiet. Nurhachi didn't speak, and no one came forward, and the scene was a little cold. Damn, if you don't have the courage to speak, you're all fucking perverted murderers! Ao Bai scolded in his heart.

Nurhachi was silent, still pondering. At this time, Huang Taiji, who had hesitated for a while, stood up and said, "Father Khan, I also agree with Aobai's statement. If we slaughter the soldiers and civilians on the island, it will indeed deepen the hatred of the Han people against us. Aha in the territory has rarely rioted in the past two years, and some Han people have already surrendered, this situation is not easy to come by, please think twice. ”

For the first time, Ao Bai had a little affection for Huang Taiji. As one of the four great beylers, Huang Taiji's words carried a lot of weight, and the two people who Nurhachi valued the most spoke, and he would definitely not insist on going his own way.

Sure enough, Nurhachi's face softened a little, and he sighed and said, "According to what you say, don't kill those who descend!" ”

Ao Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the Han people on the island would never thank him, at least he had some peace of mind.

Just when most of the people on the island were asleep, the soldiers of the Five Banners, including Ao Bai and Dolgon, wore stars and moons, stepped on the ice, and walked towards Juehua Island. Ning Yuan already knew that the Jin army was going to attack Juehua Island, but unfortunately it was not good to report the news, otherwise the soldiers and civilians on the island would have time to evacuate in the middle of the night, and the Eight Banners Army could not ride horses on the ice, and they wanted to catch up with them along the ice unless they wore skates and sleds.

As they approached the island, they encountered a long trench on the ice, which was uneven, and although it blocked the way, it was re-frozen underneath, and it was not difficult to climb it with bare hands.

Dolgon had been following Aobai's side, and when he saw this ditch, he smiled and said, "The guards here are too creative, they really let people dig a ditch on the sea." ”

"I guess my head was squeezed by the door." Ao Bai sighed. It must take a lot of effort to dig this ditch, and the people on the island could still fight, but now it is estimated that they are tired and can only wait to die, and the Ming army should really pull out the person who came up with this plan and cut it with a thousand knives......

If it weren't for the war, Juehua Island would be a suitable place for people to live in, and more suitable for tourism! In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was called Peach Blossom Island. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the place where the evil yellow medicine master in the Middle East lives.

After quietly going to the island, Ao Bai carried an iron spear and pulled Dolgon very slowly.

Dolgon hurriedly said, "Why are you so slow?" Let's go and capture the flag together! ”

Ao Bai shook his head and said: "There are thousands of defenders on this island, no matter how bad the defense is, it is no problem to shoot a few rounds of arrows." What if you didn't practice your arrow-blocking kung fu and rushed up and were shot to death? The Khan King didn't expect you to make great contributions in this battle, but he just wanted to train you, and don't leave me five paces away. ”

Dorgon had no choice but to reply, "Well, I'll listen to you." ”

The sentinels of the Ming army panicked when they saw the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army pressing in. They hurriedly sent a signal to inform the others, and a group of sleeping people who were in a daze, by the time they put on their clothes and felt their weapons, they could no longer stop the Eight Banners from landing on the island. Many people have lost their lives without any preparation.

The Eight Banners Army easily broke through the defenders' outer defense line with a round of charge.

A Ming army general armed with a big knife, cut down several people with yellow flags, and commanded: "Don't mess around, go and inform the people in the command mansion." ”

With that, he cut down two more and shouted, "Next! ”

"Who are you talking about?" A word of Chinese fell to the man's ear. Then, a silver spear stabbed out head-on, stabbing him accurately at the edge, swinging the knife away. He clearly saw that the head of the spear seemed to be a living snake, and it reached his neck in a flash, only to feel a chill in his throat, and blood spurted out.

Watching the person in front of him slowly fall, Ao Bai's heart beat wildly a few times, and he secretly did not move the seal of the Ming King, and quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart. Born in troubled times, it is normal for people to die, and there is nothing to feel guilty about.

He rushed into the enemy line with his gun and quickly brought down a dozen men. He found that he had made a breakthrough in his marksmanship, which he hadn't improved for a long time, and there was a little bit of comfort in the excitement. Only when you kill people can you exert your strongest skills, learn from others, and if you have too many scruples, you will fall behind.

Dorgon also slashed with his sword, splattering blood all over his body.

The two men showed courage and were quickly targeted by the opposing archers. In the distance, a defender general shouted: "Shoot the arrows!" ”

Seeing a group of archers with their bows and arrows, Aobai hurriedly blocked in front of Dolgon.

More than a dozen people fired bows and arrows in unison.

Ao Bai spun the spear sharply, crackled, and all the arrows were blocked by the hilt and fell to the ground.

The defenders couldn't believe their eyes.

"Kill!" Ao Bai roared, the momentum of the yellow flag rose, and a group of people blocked the arrows with shields, and rushed forward with Ao Bai.

Seeing this, several archers were so weak that they even forgot to change their weapons and were killed in a daze. The rest of the men aimed their bows and arrows at Aobai, no doubt being blocked by him.

Many famous generals in history were shot to death, he didn't want to die in vain, so he paid special attention to the kung fu of blocking arrows, he often asked people to shoot arrows at themselves, first one, and then slowly increased, and the distance was also shortened. This kind of exercise makes people feel scary when they look at it. Dorgon tried, but he didn't do as well as Aobai, and was shot in the thigh, but fortunately he wasn't seriously injured.

Since learning the nine-character mantra seal, under self-hypnosis, Ao Bai has become more fierce, and he dares to charge in the face of bows and arrows. He killed the rise of his subordinates, and there was no one under him. At first, the defenders also went up to besiege him, but after dozens of people were killed, no one dared to go up, and when they saw him coming, they all scattered and fled for their lives. The soldiers with yellow flags followed the Ao Bai charge, as if they were in a no-man's land.

A middle-aged guard general saw the soldiers fleeing, holding a long knife and shouting: "Swear to resist the enemy to the death, retreat and behead!" ”

"General, that person is too powerful, the people in front can't stand it."

The guard also saw Aobai. A man like him, who is 1.9 meters tall, is overwhelmed by his momentum, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and there is no one who can stand wherever he passes.

The guard shouted, "Will the enemy general dare to fight me?" ”

Ao Bai didn't say a word, and rushed forward with a gun. The big knife in the guard's hand slashed at Aobai's head. Ao Bai held the gun in both hands and easily blocked it. The guard changed to a horizontal split, and before the knife could be cut out, he was kicked in the lower abdomen by Aobai, and took a few steps back, and the spear in Aobai's hand stabbed straight and stabbed the opponent's throat.

Seeing that the generals were easily killed, the morale of the Ming army was even more demoralized.

After Ao Bai entered the city, everywhere he went, most of the civilians he encountered were kneeling and surrendering, and more and more defenders surrendered. They were already weak in strength, and they responded to the battle in a hurry, and the battle situation was one-sided.

Aobai stopped, and Dolgon had no choice but to stop, and asked, "Aobai, why don't you leave?" ”

"Stop, the big picture is decided." Ao Bai held a spear in his hand and sighed: "Today I persuade the Great Khan to change his mind, will you not think that I am a woman's kindness?" ”

Dorgon wiped the blood from his face and smiled, "No, I think you're right. Father Khan wanted to slaughter Juehua Island, because he wanted to surrender without a fight. But if you win this war, you will lose the hearts and minds of the people. There are more than 300,000 Han Chinese in our country, but very few of them surrender wholeheartedly. Finding a way to turn those Han people into your own people is the real victory. Otherwise, no matter how many battles we fight, it will be impossible for us to enter the Central Plains. Unless we get the support of a part of the Han people and take the Han people to fight the Han people, we can develop. That's all you want, right? ”

Ao Bai said lightly: "You are very right. When the master of Phoenix was teaching me the Dharma, he said a word. This is contrary to the actions of the Jin Kingdom, so I have not dared to say it, for fear of reaching the ears of the Khan King. Now I seem to be able to say to you. ”

Dorgon asked, "What did he say?" ”

Ao Bai sighed lightly: "The master said that killing people is not a hero, saving people is." ”

"Huh?" Dolgon's heart was shocked, and he looked at Aobai, and the words came to his lips and swallowed back, he lowered his head slightly, thinking.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It is almost impossible for Ao Bai to influence Nurhachi and Huang Taiji. But Dolgon is different, when they met, Dolgon was only ten years old, and he was very receptive to indoctrination, and for several years, he has been influencing Dolgon with his modern thoughts, and his tongue has not been in vain.

If Dolgon was still like Nurhachi, with the idea of treating human life like a mustard, even if he didn't turn his face on the spot, at least he would show displeasure, but Dolgon is calm now, maybe he has begun to doubt Nurhachi, maybe he has begun to realize that a person who kills innocents indiscriminately is not qualified to be called a hero.
