Chapter 581
"No, please don't kill my child, you can do whatever I want." A short woman dressed in a Ming costume knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
The Mongol soldiers on the altar remained unmoved, holding torches in their hands. On the stake at his feet was a little boy of about seven or eight years old. The little boy's face was full of tears, and his voice was hoarse. Two eyes looked at those fierce Mongolian soldiers in fear!
The little boy's head was wet, and so was his body. The smell of fire oil wafted out far away, and a group of Ming women below flinched like sheep. Guarding their children with both hands to prevent them from being taken away by the Mongols.
"Why do you choose women and not men?" Gerdan plucked at his ears, as if he was not accustomed to the frightened cries of the women.
"It's hard for you to understand a woman's love for her children. When men face life and death, many will abandon their children. Women and men are the opposite, if there is a glimmer of hope in life, they must leave it to their children. Dorgon put his hands behind his back and looked at the scene before him.
This scene seems familiar, and he did it under Jinzhou City back then. But at that time, he had a dogleg named Lin Kewang, and he didn't know what happened to this bastard when Li Xiao occupied Liaodong. Although Lin Kewang did things for him, Dolgon firmly believed that this person should be cut with a thousand cuts.
"Okay!" Gerdan nodded, and had to admit that a woman's love for her child was indeed different from that of a man.
"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, dozens of shamans began to stumble around the boy like a madman. The Mongolian soldier used the torch in his hand to set fire to the little boy who was tied up.
The flames burst out at once, engulfing the little boy in an instant. The shamans danced more cheerfully, humming unknown tunes in their mouths.
"Ah......h The little boy and his mother screamed at the same time.
The pain of burning in the flames seemed contagious, and the boy's mother was also wailing and rolling on the ground, even more painful than the boy who was burned.
Gurdan glanced at Dorgon, pursed his lips and did not speak.
The Han women below were even more frightened, hugging their children tightly and trying to huddle together. I can't wait to squeeze into the body of the person next to me!
"You all listen to Lao Tzu, hold this thing and put it under the city wall and light it. As long as you can blast the walls, your children will live. If you can't blow up the walls, your children will be like this child.
Now you can choose whether to die yourself or fight to give your child a way to live. I don't force you, but stand over there if you want. If you don't want to, don't be reluctant, there's a pit over there that you can jump into, and someone will bury you alive. "Mongolians speak Chinese with a hard tongue, but what they say terrified everyone.
The women were so flustered that no one went to stand on the left. Of course, no one jumped into the pit on the right.
Danzira jumped off the altar and took a woman's hand. The woman stepped back with her feet on the ground like a sheep!
But where could the woman be Danzira's opponent, she was pulled to the ground with a strong pull. Even the three or four-year-old child in her arms fell to the ground, and the woman's screams and the child's cries soared at the same time.
Ignoring the woman's wailing, Danzira grabbed a spear. As soon as he stabbed the child, he picked it on the tip of the gun, and the screaming child screamed in pain, kicking and scratching his hands and feet in the void.
"Spare my baby, you brutes." The woman cried out hoarsely.
As soon as the spear was thrown into the pit, the child was thrown into the pit. The blood soaked the soil, and the child's little hands and feet struggled in the bloody mud. He grabbed the woman's long hair and raised the steel knife in his hand. The sword flashed, and the woman's head fell into the pit. It was falling on the child's side, and the child's little hands kept pulling the mother's head. The corpse "poofed" into the pit, crushing the child and the head.
There were screams from the crowd again, followed by constant sobbing.
"If you don't stand up, then we will kill. Prince Godan counts, and as long as you are willing to risk your life to fight, he will definitely spare your children. The tongue man stood on a high platform and continued to roar loudly.
Still no one stepped forward, and Danzira once again extended her paws into the crowd with a grim smile on her face. A woman and a child who was holding her tightly were caught!
The woman put her feet on the ground, and Danzira felt that it was no different from catching a sheep from a flock and slaughtering it. Just as he was about to swing the steel knife, suddenly the woman shouted, "I'll go!" I'll go! Please, spare my children, I'll go! I'll go! ”
The woman fell on her knees and wept, and the tongue man immediately translated her words to Danzira.
"Get out over there, give them both bags and water." Danzira gave the order, and immediately the Mongol soldiers dragged them away. Throw on the grass on the left and drop two sacs and a bag of water.
The woman hurriedly grabbed the naan and chewed it with her mouth and fed it into the child's mouth. The boy looked like he was two or three years old, and his little white teeth couldn't handle the hard naan.
Alabutan looked at all this with a cold face: "If they do this, will they be struck by lightning?" ”
"Maybe, maybe not. But in the future, you will stay away from Geldan and the Jurchens. Immortal innocence is really going to rain thunder, so don't affect you. The sturdy Wen Chun looked at all this with his arms in his arms, he thought that Dorgon would be very insidious, but he didn't expect Dorgon to be so insidious.
The glory of a warrior must be obtained with the sword in his hand, but this kind of careerist. Their victory is based on trampling on human nature.
"If we are like this, will the Immortal Heaven send down divine thunder to kill us?" Gerdan was asking the same question, and he was asking Dorgon.
"Uh......!" Dorgon opened his arms and looked at the clear blue sky. After a long while, he said to Geldan who was quite puzzled: "Immortal Heaven doesn't seem to have the intention of killing me with thunder, you try?" ”
"Okay!" Gerdan nodded, opened his arms and closed his eyes tightly, and raised his head to the sky.
Immortal Heaven didn't mean anything at all, and even on the clear sky, there were even pitiful clouds. It seems that by doing so, Changshengtian is not angry.
Soon more and more women gave in, and they automatically walked to the grass on the left. There were even those who took the initiative to find the Mongol soldiers and asked for naan and water. They hadn't eaten or drunk for a day, but as soon as they got the naan, they would hand it to the children.
Of course, there were also hesitations, and they all had their hands and feet broken, and the children were thrown into the pit with their hands and feet broken at will, waiting for the women who had eaten enough to bury them.
In the end, a total of 130 women were willing to trade their lives for the children's chance to live. As a sign of submission, Geldan gave each of them a shovel and buried alive those who had been thrown into the pit.
The pit is full of screaming and wriggling people!
With tears in their eyes, the women threw dirt on their bodies, shovel after spade.
Soon the pit was filled in, and the women were ordered to use their feet to tread on the soft dirt. The earth will still move from time to time, and perhaps that is the last struggle of the people underground.
The women each had a bag of explosives on their backs, and they were divided into teams of thirteen.
The sky gradually darkened, and Yinchuan City, which had been burning for most of the day, was finally extinguished. The whole grassland is filled with the smell of burning. The walls of Yinchuan City are covered with a layer of gray-white ashes. There are also some bones that have not been burned through, and they slowly cool down and make a "click" and "click" sound, as if thousands of hungry ghosts are gnawing at these people.
A black canopy covered the earth, and there was no moon in the sky, and there was no light around it.
The women struggled through the darkness, and the only thing pointing the way was the lights on the Yinchuan city wall in the distance.
Gerdan looked at the endless darkness with a telescope, and it was still an hour before dawn. It was the time of day when people were most tired, and the Mongols had not attacked at night these days. Dolgon hopes that today's plan will be a success!
"What should be seen here can be seen without a telescope." Dolgon hugged his arms and looked at Yinchuan City in the distance. Quite a bit of a god stick!
"We should make it!" Gerdan looked at Dolgon. Taking advantage of a woman's calf licking is against the samurai spirit. If you spread it, you will be looked down upon, and you will bear such a big reputational loss, but you will not be able to achieve a brilliant victory. That's not a good deal!
"Ask Immortal Heaven, don't those shamans dance happily during the day?"
"Uh......!"
"Boom!" The first orange ball of fire exploded in the distance, then the second, then the third, the fourth ......!
"Exploded! Exploded! Gerdan jumped up excitedly, as happy as a child watching fireworks.
There was a constant rumbling sound in the distance, and the ground under his feet trembled slightly. The lights on the city wall of Yinchuan are missing a lot.
"When they succeeded, I said that women can do anything for their children. Now let those kids go! Dorgon walked away with his arms in his arms.
"Let them go now, they'll be eaten by wolves." Gerdan shouted from behind Dolgon.
"We don't kill them, we don't say wolves won't eat them. If it is eaten by a wolf, it also means immortality. Dolgon said without looking back.
"It's fucking despicable!"
"Integrity does not win wars." A word came from afar, and Dolgon's figure disappeared into the darkness.
Geldan scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, wishing that the sky would soon light up. A night raid and a group siege with torches are two different things, the former is a sneak attack and the latter is a death sentence.
When he heard the first explosion, Sun Xing woke up. He urged his men to climb the city wall to defend it!
The Mongols never attacked at night, and this raid must have been done with all their might. Sun Xing blamed himself a little, for Mao to sleep at such a critical time.
I couldn't see anything in the darkness, but there was a constant sound of explosions beneath my feet. Suddenly, there was a sound of the sky cracking, and an entire wall collapsed. Sun Xing couldn't see anything in the dark, and he didn't know what the city wall had been damaged. Just a loud order, the soldiers to plug the gap.
When the sky was white, Sun Xing finally knew what he was facing.
The city wall collapsed for more than 100 meters, and there were more than 20 Ming soldiers guarding the head of the city for the burial of the city wall of more than 100 meters.
These bastards, they actually blew down the city wall. How to do it!
The city wall of more than 100 meters is impossible to use to plug the gap. Sun Xing hurriedly went to find his father and transferred all the reserves to plug the gap in the collapsed city wall of more than 100 meters.
A gap of more than 100 meters long and a gap of two or three meters wide are two different concepts. Whether he can hold it or not, Sun Xing is really pessimistic. Perhaps by the time it got dark, Yinchuan City was already a place that was ravaged by the Mongols.
Inside the telescope, Geldan also saw a gap of more than 100 meters.
The Mongol camp erupted in a tsunami of cheers, and Arabutan called out all the mortars. The long-barreled cannons were also pulled out, and the ox carts carrying the shells were carried one after the other, transporting ammunition to the front. Today, I want to take this damn Yinchuan City in one go. No one can be allowed to escape here, and everyone will die.
When the day finally dawned, and the fiery sun was still rising, the Mongols could not wait to attack.
Long-barreled cannon! Mortar!
All artillery shelled incessantly, and even rockets fired two rounds. This was a very luxurious firepower preparation for the Mongols, who were extremely short of ammunition.
"Mongol warriors, avenge the dead Mongols! Kill! Danzira wielded a scimitar in his hand, and the fierce cavalry howled.
"Woo......!" The battle horn finally sounded, and the Mongol cavalry rushed towards Yinchuan City like lightning.
Only the sparse artillery in Yinchuan City returned fire, and they had not had many shells for many days.
Hearing the counterattack fire of the other side, Geldan almost went crazy with joy. "The Ming people have no more shells! They don't have shells anymore! Ha! Ha! Ha! Gerdan raised his hands and clenched his fists, and when he saw Dolgon walking leisurely, he immediately rushed over and hugged him warmly, and kissed Dolgon.
Being kissed by a man, Dorgon felt like being stung by a scorpion.
A shell exploded about five meters away from Sun Xing, and Sun Xing, who was lying in the crater, felt shrapnel flying sideways over his head. A piece of shrapnel hit the steel helmet and bounced off, and Sun Xing felt that his neck was almost broken.
The section of the city wall that collapsed was no longer possible, and Sun Xing now ordered his soldiers to retreat to the street behind the city wall. They hid in various parts of the streets, hoping to use the terrain to resist the Mongol attack.
The horses still could not rush through the ruins, and the Mongol cavalry had to dismount and climb over the crumbling walls on foot.
Cold guns continued to fire from all sides, and the Mongol soldiers also returned fire with firearms. The gunshots in the city and under the city sounded like they were frying beans!
There were constantly Mongol soldiers screaming and falling to the ground, and there were also Ming soldiers screaming and falling off the city wall.
"It's over! Yinchuan is over! Sun Yuanhua stood on the tower, looking at the battle of the gap and muttered to himself.
There were only about 3,000 people in the city who could fight with guns, but there were tens of thousands of Mongol soldiers outside the city. If it continues like this, the first person who can't support it must be the Ming army.
Unless a miracle strikes!
