Chapter 207: Rebellion
The faces of many captured soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty defenders had blood coagulated.
But their gaze was extremely determined.
Row after row of defenders were pushed to the edge of the moat.
As the general of the Jin Army raised his hand, he signaled.
The golden man who rode the horse drew the scimitar behind his back and slaughtered the captive Song army wildly.
Hundreds of human heads rolled to the ground, blood flowing down the trench into the moat.
A group of corpses fell, and another batch.
The desolate smell of blood, and the rattling of jackdaws on the gates, speak of the cruelty of war......
"Hou Sanhui! You are despicable and shameless, obscene and dirty, you betrayed my Great Song Dynasty, betrayed Your Majesty, betrayed the people, turned your head and acted as a lackey of the gold thief, you will go to eighteen layers of hell, and you will never be able to turn over! ”
In Xingzhou City, General Liu Zongyi stood on the bank of the moat and turned around and roared angrily at a Song general holding a butcher's knife.
Three days ago, Liu Guangshi abandoned the city and ran away, leaving the 40,000 officers and soldiers in the city to ignore them.
The soldiers in the city resolutely resisted the Jin army.
However, the sinister and cunning Jin people rebelled against some of the generals in the city.
As a result, the city was quickly forced.
Hou Sanhui brandished a blood-stained butcher's knife and slashed two Song soldiers.
Immediately, he smiled proudly: "General Liu, why not surrender to the Jin people?" If you surrender now, it's too late, and I can say more good things for you in front of the Jin army generals. ”
"Phew!"
"Hehe, what's the good end for stubbornness? Do you blame me? Why don't you look at what our generals do? Is it okay for him Liu Guangshi to abandon us and sneak out of the city? ”
"There is plenty of food and grass in this city, and the armament is neat, but Liu Guangshi, as our main general, actually fled without a fight, which is more hateful than surrendering, we follow a general like him, serve such a weak Great Song Dynasty, even if he dies eight times, there is no hope of turning the tables!"
"Is that why you went to the enemy? You're a coward! ”
"Hehe, Brother Liu, I think you and I also came out of the same place back then, and now I am reading it in the face of my fellow villagers, you surrender, I will definitely ensure that you will not die, and you can be reused under the account of the Jin Army."
"Don't think about it."
Liu Zongyi also laughed, but his smile was full of helplessness and desolation.
"Hou Sanhui, although you and I are fellow villagers, Lao Tzu is not a person from you, you have been following Liu Guangshi's sanctimonious rat generation to Beijing City in an attempt to opportunistically get reused, but what about Lao Tzu?"
"Lao Tzu is a soldier under the command of General Chen, and his follower, General Chen, has been fighting bloody battles from the Shanggu Frontier, and has been ordered by Marshal Zong all the way to retreat to Xingzhou City."
"Do you know the frontier army on the outskirts of Ueya County?!"
"I don't know? What if you know? Hou Sanhui pursed his lips and sneered, his eyes mixed with mockery and glances.
At the same time, his eyes when he looked at Liu Zongyi were mixed with extremely strong pity.
"Then I'll tell you, I and General Chen guarded the first line of border defense, the 100,000 army of gold thieves went south, and 20,000 of us held on to General Chen's martyrdom!"
Liu Zongyi's voice trembled, as if he was proud of the general he had followed at the beginning, and felt tragic.
Hou Sanhui's face was embarrassed when he listened.
Embarrassment is followed by shame.
After the shame, there is anger and anger.
The general Chen mentioned by Liu Zongyi was Chen Jiu, the general of the Song army who guarded the first line of defense of the Shanggu Military Town.
Chen Jian defended the line and fought a bloody battle with Yan Zongfu's army for seven days.
Until all the 20,000 horses were killed, there was not much left, and they were stunned not to surrender to the Jinren.
In that defensive battle, the result of the battle was the same as last year's Battle of Taiyuan.
Until the defense line was broken by the Jin people, Chen Jian led the remaining 3,000 soldiers and civilians to fight with the Jin people's iron cavalry in the city, fighting to the death, and finally was secretly attacked by traitors within the Song army, and the soldiers were defeated and died.
In order to capture the hearts of the Jin people, those traitors also killed all 21 members of General Chen's family.
Even though Wanyan Zongfu, who was known as the villain of the Jin Kingdom, knew the situation, he led the army into the city and was buried in accordance with the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty.
It can be said that General Chen's loyal retainers are the benchmark of this era.
Those who admire his spirit do not distinguish between friend and foe.
There is no distinction between the so-called camps.
Liu Zongyi was one of the members of the army under Chen Jian, and according to the instructions of the old general Zongze, he finally divided his troops and retreated, and joined Xingzhou City to consolidate the broken defense line of the Great Song Dynasty.
At this time, he had already been infected by Chen Jiu's loyalty.
Even if he was betrayed by a traitor, even if his body would be cut down and thrown into the moat like other innocent Song soldiers, he was not afraid.
However, Hou Sanhui, who betrayed the Great Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin people, did not think so.
"Liu Zongyi, don't be reckless, you are not the main general who commands a city, to put it bluntly, you are just a small role like me, people like us are the most pitiful people in the war between the two countries."
"Even if we are martyred, who will we show for the martyrdom?"
"Does His Majesty Zhao of Bianliang City know you? Will the Zong Shuai of Beijing City be grateful to you? No, it won't. ”
Hou Sanhui defended his actions, in fact, he also found that his reasons were completely untenable, so he stepped forward angrily and grabbed Liu Zongyi's collar, and violently asked Huang Dao: "You better know that we are here to protect our home, but what about our home?" It was ruined by the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the Song court, and it was all ruined. ”
"Which of my family members and your wife and children was not detained and stripped to death by the scholars?"
"Which of our little soldiers has not been plucked by the generals who commanded the army? You tell me, what do you get by pinning your head to your belt all day? Can you take out a tael of silver? ”
"Can you eat enough for three meals a day?"
"What's the use of keeping this rotten Song Ting?"
"Let me tell you again, Liu Guangshi, the commander of Xingzhou City, is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, what about our military salary? Have you ever seen one? ”
"Where is our food? Eat a full meal in two days, and the rest of the time is porridge, and the porridge can be used as a mirror. ”
"Let me tell you, all the grain has been hoarded for Liu Guangshi and sold into silver for white flowers."
"Who have I been with Liu Guangshi for many years, yes, he is indeed an opportunistic traitor, but I have the right to speak when I say these words, because you don't know him, but I do."
"Besides, do you think Liu Guangshi values you very much and asks you to join the army?"
"He's just trying to make you cannon fodder."
"When Liu Guangshi escaped, did he take you with him? Are you still his own? ”
"On the contrary, the general of the Jin Army's vultures, only the talent moves, the only use, he promised me a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver."
"With all that money, what day can't I live?"
