Chapter 650
The house was on fire, and black smoke rose into the air, and it was clearly visible from ten miles away.
The ground was littered with corpses, men and women. The old man's body was hung from a tree, and the frozen corpse shook like a pendulum by the wind. The white hair and beard are blown around, and if it weren't for the belly being cut open, you'd think the man was just asleep.
When Black Bull brought people to Shuangqi Town, he saw such a scene.
Reaching out and plucking the body of a child from the fence, the youngest child was only about three or four years old. The eyes were gouged out, half of the ears were missing, and the small face seemed to have been gnawed by wolves. I don't know where the gills on one side have gone, and judging from the broken minced meat, it should have been gnawed off by something like a wolf or a dog. Inside the hole was a row of small teeth, several of which were black, obviously with tooth decay.
If in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, a child like a porcelain doll is the treasure of the whole family. But at this Gansu border pass, the child who was treasured by his family was ruthlessly killed by the Mongols.
As if for the sake of insult, all of them were naked, men, women, young and old.
There seemed to be a fire in his chest, and the black bull felt like his chest was about to explode. Shuangqi Town is a town far away from Wuwei, and they have long been ordered to evacuate. I don't know if the mayor has in his ears, or if he is reluctant to give up his family business, he hasn't removed it to this day.
The mayor's home is easy to find, the town is a blue brick house, and the three-in-three courtyard is his home.
The tiled house had collapsed, and smoke was still rising from the beams that had not been extinguished. In the rubble, the mayor's charred body was lying reclining in the rubble. His hands scratched at the sky, and the expression on his face was extremely hideous. The two eyes that were burned into black holes looked at the black bull who walked into the yard, and I don't know if he regretted it at this moment.
There was a human head in the courtyard, and an old man's head was at the gate, but his body was in the courtyard. The woman's corpses were piled up in the yard without a single inch, and the sunlight was shining through the thick smoke, a large patch of white flowers.
"Captain! The Mongols ran away, and all the people in the town were killed. It seems that it was attacked at midnight the day before yesterday, and by the time we got the letter, the Mongols should have killed all of them. ”
The black bull walked to the edge of the well and sat down, and saw a shadowy figure in the well. It looks like there's more than one!
"Dig a pit and bury all the victims. The Mongols of the dog day hit the Ili River valley one day, and Lao Tzu wanted to repeat what happened here. The black bull gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. They were infantry, and they set off yesterday when they received the news. Hurry and run to the place, the Mongols have already killed people and run away without a trace.
Poor Black Bull has been driving for a day, and now he is only reduced to the role of a corpse collection team. The fire in the heart almost exploded in the chest. But there is no way, my two legs can't outrun other people's four legs anyway.
"Send someone to guard the perimeter of the town, don't fucking let the Mongols kill the horses." The black bull has an extra heart, and he sees that the sun is in the west. I can't say I'm going to spend the night here tonight, but don't let the Mongols sneak attack. I looked at the sky, but fortunately today is the fourteenth, and the moon is very round in the sky. Visibility at night should be good, and the probability of being attacked is multiplied.
In fact, Hei Niu was not worried about being attacked at all, as the main force of the main division of the Liao army. Both the guns and the artillery are the most well-equipped. With the tactical level of the Mongols, they are not afraid of being twice as much as themselves. This time, he came out with two battalions.
**************************************************
"Your Highness! The spies in the city reported that two battalions of the Ming army had left the city yesterday afternoon. Looking at the direction, it is definitely going to Shuangqi Town. Our sentinels haven't come back yet, but counting the time, the Ming army should have arrived in Shuangqi Town. It was slowly getting dark, and if they didn't want to hurry in the dark, they could only camp in Shuangqi Town. ”
"Last night they rushed on the road all night, although the Liao army is powerful, but it is not iron. A night without sleep would have marched like that of a wise general. Tonight, the two battalions of the Ming army will definitely camp in Shuangqi Town. Dolgon's tone was very determined.
"The slaughter of Shuangqi Town is just to lure the Liao army out. Now that there is only one battalion of the Liao army left in the city, it is time to make a move. "Geldan made up his mind, as long as he robbed Wuwei City. Don't say that spring will start next year, even if it is next summer, the grain may not be exhausted.
The army has been cut off from supplies, and if you don't want to starve to death, you can only rob it. After traveling thousands of miles back to the Ili River Valley, the number of people who died of freezing and starvation on the way could reach 30%. Geldan already has a limited family background, and if he loses thirty percent all of a sudden, it will be an absolute disaster for him.
"Yes!" The generals answered, and all went back to prepare for this night's raid.
**************************************************
"Captain! The four gates have been closed, and those who have left the city today have been arrested. It has been tried, and three of them are spies of the Mongols, who are responsible for listening to our news. The news that the head of a regiment left the city, it is estimated that the Mongols already knew. A staff officer ran into the Wuwei City County Office and reported to Cao Bianjiao.
"Shut up the four gates and the walls, and let no one go out of the city. Send cavalry out of the city to patrol, as long as you see people immediately shoot without asking for instructions. Have you found the secret passage for the Mongolian spies to get out of the city? Cao Bianjiao asked with a gloomy face.
"Two secret passages out of the city have been found, and those who interrogated the spies said that there were only these two."
"Don't take their word for it, keep looking! These bastards don't have a few words of truth in their mouths. Let all the brothers who have been hidden come out and go to war. Be ready for battle, if I'm not mistaken, the Mongols will storm the city tonight.
His grandmother's, this time he can't keep it. We're all fucking dead! Cao Bianjiao looked at the city defense map and scolded his mother.
Wuwei City is simply a colander, and there are more than 30 Mongolian spies caught in one day today. You know, Wuwei is not bad, but it is just a small city with a population of more than 30,000. In a big place, there are more than 30 spies hidden.
Of course, Cao Bianjiao also took advantage of these spies. Yesterday the Black Bull left Wuwei with not a whole regiment, but only two battalions. The rest of the battalion was all hidden in the barracks and was not allowed to leave the room.
Now Cao Bianjiao has two battalions in his hands, and his opponent is Geerdan, who has tens of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry. If you can't hold out for more than 16 hours, you can only look up to the sky and sigh, pull out the gun and commit suicide.
