King Gan said bluntly: "It is the rule on the battlefield that you don't kill and surrender, and these prisoners can't be killed!" ”

Zheng Fei said in a strange manner: "Yo, when did the king start the battlefield, I remember that you are not a civil official?" ”

The Ganwang was rarely angry, slapped the table vigorously, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! What qualifications do you, General Zhennan, have to criticize this official! Shut your beak for me! ”

Zheng Fei is a member of the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing's family, at that time, the Eastern King was in power and the opposition, and even the Heavenly King Hong Xiu was not in his eyes, and it was rumored in the Taiping Army that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be surnamed Yang.

This time the city of Hangzhou was conquered, and Wang Zhong could have defended it with one article and one martial arts, but Yang Xiuqing sent his henchman Zheng Fei to supervise the army in the name of "Heavenly Father".

Zheng Fei was about to have a seizure when he heard this, but he saw Qin Chong, the chief of the guard behind the Gan King, glaring at him angrily.

Qin Chong is tall and strong, and he is a layman in the Luohan Hall in the Eighteen Halls of Shaolin in Songshan, and he is far above Zheng Fei in terms of momentum and cultivation.

Zheng Fei was shocked by his momentum, and before he could let out a breath of anger, he was forced back. After he sat down, he said unwillingly: "Four thousand prisoners of war is not a small number, and we do not have enough troops to guard them. These people put down their swords and guns as outcasts, and when they pick up swords and guns, they are soldiers. Although King Gan issued an order to move the city that day, allowing the people in the city to move to other places, there are still more than 100,000 innocent people in the city now, and none of us can afford this responsibility. General Guo has three generations in the same house, and there are more than 70 people in the family, don't you think about them? ”

Guo Yuan's shoulders trembled, as if he had thought of something, and then lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

King Zhong, who had been silent, sneered: "When did General Zheng start caring about the lives of the common people?" I remember when you first entered the city, you instigated your subordinates to kill how many innocent people indiscriminately, if it wasn't for this king and the god king to stop it, I'm afraid you would have slaughtered the entire city of Hangzhou, right? ”

Zheng Fei was speechless.

Ganwang said resolutely: "Fighting or surrendering is the rule on the battlefield!" No, I don't agree! ”

The two sides argued, and finally had to propose a secret ballot, but the result of the vote made King Gan and King Chung close their eyes.

The two sighed and walked away.

The next day, just after some light, I was awakened by a hurried rallying cry.

Could it be that the Qing army is coming again so soon?

The soldiers slept in their clothes, and immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent.

When I rushed out of the camp, I almost bumped into a person head-on, and when I looked up, it was Yang Lin, the commander of the Desheng battalion, so I asked: "Yang Zhichong, is the Qing army calling?" ”

Yang Lin made a calm face and said, "Don't ask so much, gather!" ”

I entered the military column with a suspicious face, and then followed the large army towards Desheng Gate.

Along the way, the soldiers talked a lot, all saying that the Qing army was coming again. After yesterday's fighting, I was less nervous about the war, but I couldn't help but frown at the thought of having to experience that brutal image for myself.

The city gate was not opened, and the soldiers followed their commander to the front of the urn city on the west side of the Desheng Gate.

As the capital city of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou City has some significant differences from ordinary cities. Ordinary cities are nothing more than thick walls to enclose a boxy wall, while Hangzhou City has built a protruding half-moon-shaped city at each of the four walls. This half-moon-shaped city is the urn city, although the area is not large, but it can also accommodate 5,000 soldiers, and can be used as horns with the main city in the defense of the city, which greatly enhances the defense ability of the city.

There were already two phalanxes lined up neatly, each lit up with sharp spear tips. Even though the sun hadn't risen yet, I felt a chill for no apparent reason.

The gates of the urn city were closed, and some noise could be faintly heard from inside.

I climbed the walls of the urn city with a lot of doubts, and when I looked down, I couldn't help but gasp.

There was a large crowd of people standing in the square below the entire urn city, almost filling the entire square. They were covered in blood and ragged clothes, and they were clearly the Qing soldiers who were captured yesterday.

The two doors inside and outside the city are closed, what is the purpose of concentrating all the captives here?

I looked around, and saw that the city wall was full of heavily armed Taiping soldiers, plus his own Desheng battalion, there were as many as 3,000 people, and he remembered that there were more than 2,000 people neatly lined up in front of the inner gate of the urn city.

Could it be ......

A cool air suddenly rose from the soles of my feet, and some of the other Taiping soldiers seemed to have guessed something, and everyone looked strange.

The prisoners of war in the city of Urn could not help but be alarmed when they saw so many heavily armed soldiers on the city wall at once. A Qing army general who looked like a middle-level officer came out in line, pointed to the main city tower and shouted, "Didn't you say that you were going to give us breakfast?" Why did so many soldiers come? ”

When he drank, the prisoners of war shouted.

Zheng Fei walked to the edge of the city wall and shouted at the prisoners of war under the city: "Giving you these things to eat is a waste of food!" ”

When the prisoners of war heard this, they all started to make a commotion, and the scene was very chaotic.

My heart sank, knowing that my premonition was not wrong. He turned his head sharply and asked in a deep voice to Yang Lin, the commander of Zhichong, who was standing behind him, "Brother Yang, is this ...... Is this all true? ”

Yang Lin's iron-cast face didn't have the slightest expression, he glanced at me coldly, and said, "What are you doing with so many questions, and you can just execute the order later." ”

I barely suppressed the anger in my heart and whispered, "However, it is military regulations to fight without killing and surrendering. There are more than 4,000 living lives under the city! ”

Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "I have been a soldier for so many years, do I still need you to talk about it?" ”

What else do I have to say, but Yang Lin has already turned around and walked away.

In the urn city, the prisoner of war officer spat at the main building with all his might, and scolded: "Li Xiucheng, you bastard!" You don't talk about credit! How did you promise us last night? If you don't keep your word, you won't die well! ”

I and the soldiers on the city wall looked at King Chung, only to see him silently in the face of the reproach below the tower with a sad and helpless face.

At this time, my position was only ten zhang away from King Chung. I don't know where I got the courage to suddenly leave my post and rush to the main city tower.

Yang Lin and the rest of the soldiers were stunned by this sudden scene, and by the time Yang Lin came to his senses, I had already come to the front of the main building.

The soldiers guarding both sides of the main city tower showed their knives to block my way, and scolded: "What are you doing! ”

At this time, I looked at the shocked Chung Dynasty in amazement. (To be continued.) )
