Chapter 203: A Song of Ice and Fire

"General Yang, open the Dashun Gate to the south!"

Li Hu inside the city gate shouted at Yang Zaixing, who rushed into the city.

Yang Zaixing turned without hesitation, and at the same time, in the streets and alleys on the other side, a large number of local young men who had not had time to put on their clothes rushed out with weapons, but before they could react, the cone gun in Yang Zaixing's hand stabbed out one after another at great speed in the wild run.

Immediately after that, the torrent of cavalry ran over.

Several soldiers behind Yang Zaixing threw the torches in their hands directly into the snow-covered grass on the side of the road, and then kept throwing axes at the young men who were blocked as they ran by.

Unprotected, the latter screamed and fell under the axe, which barely kept falling.

Later, Li Hu watched this scene happily, took a bamboo tube directly from his subordinates, opened the wax sealed plug and inserted a fuse to ignite it, and at the same time another man split the window of the roadside shop with an axe, and Li Hu simply stuffed the bamboo tube in. In the blink of an eye, the fire came out, and soon the fireworks sprayed by the bamboo tube didn't know what it ignited, and the raging fire ignited directly from inside.

The cavalry behind was still swarming in.

But at the same time, on the east-west street, more young men who were in a hurry rushed out with weapons.

"General Wang, these are Bohai people, let go of their hands to kill, the Jurchens have not come out of the inner city yet!"

Li Hu shouted.

The Stitching Monster King Dewang Yaksha immediately howled excitedly, and crushed forward with the torrent of cavalry behind him with his sword.

How can those young men who are not even dressed properly, and many people are just holding short knives, withstand him?

This Tamar was a well-known warrior on the battlefield at the turn of the two Song Dynasty.

Wang Yasha slammed into it in an instant, slashing frantically with his sword in his hand, and the cavalry that followed behind swept forward like a torrent on the not too wide street.

The frenzied killing in the front, the incessant fire in the back.

At this time, it was still a northwest wind, although the snow affected the effect, but fortunately, even in a city like Liaoyang, almost all the buildings were wooden, and many of them were actually grass roofs. Inside the burning building, people screamed in terror and rushed out of it, and then it was knocked over and trampled by the torrent of cavalry, and the city began to be destroyed in the snow and fire.

Li Hu still looked at it with a hint of madness.

Behind him the cavalry poured in like an endless stream, then diverted to the streets under his direction.

Soon, the Dashun Gate in the south was also opened by Yang Zaixing, and the cavalry that had been stranded outside immediately poured in, and then the flames of death also rose there.

"Burn it all, kill it all, rob it all!"

Li Hu roared.

Sure that he no longer needed to be here as a guide, he picked up the conone gun from the side of a dead local young man, and continued to move forward with his soldiers, and then continued to help the wounded young man on the ground to end their suffering.

These are all Bohai people.

After Liao destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the nobles of the Bohai Kingdom were forcibly relocated to Liaoyang.

Therefore, the city has become dominated by the Han people from the original Han people, and the Han people and the Bohai people live side by side, although the Agu fought with Gao Yongchang after the army, but the slogan of the Jurchen Bohai brothers has not changed, so the Bohai people have become the closest to the Jurchens among the old Liao ethnic groups. The Han people were killed or fled in large numbers because of the continuous war, so the current Liaoyang city is already dominated by Bohai people.

Originally, there were 40,000 households here, with an estimated population of 200,000 or 300,000.

At this time, there should be more than 100,000, but it includes the old and weak, women and children, and the remaining young and strong are really not enough compared to the 30,000 elite cavalry pouring in.

According to the city walls, there is no problem with the defense.

But now that the people have entered the city, they will be completely crushed.

Under the reflection of the blazing fire that was ignited, the cavalry pouring in from the two city gates quickly diverted through the streets and alleys of the outer city, and then continued to kill while lighting the fire, and the fast Yang Zaixing even ran to the south of the city to continue to open more city gates after opening the Dashun Gate.

As for looting......

Who can take care of that?

Besides, the gold and silver treasures will not be in the outer city, the outer city is where the common people live, and the real rich are the Jurchens and Bohai nobles in the inner city, but the city gate there is originally closed, and the defense has begun, so there is no need to care about it now, it is to completely destroy the outer city. Even some of the cavalry had bypassed Liaoyang City and surrounded it in the east and north of the city to prevent the people in the city from fleeing.

What is the most important thing for a country at this time?

Population!

Wang Yue's goal was simple, to empty the most populous city currently under Jurchen control.

How long can a country last without being a servant army, without growing grain and paying taxes, without women having children?

It's easy to deal with the Jurchens.

It is to empty all the land they occupy, leaving only those Jurchen clans in the north, and no matter how much they can fight, they are only tens of thousands of young people, and they can't last a few real wars, and the Jurchens really become big by relying on their servants. After defeating Gao Yongchang, the Bohai servants harvested, the Han servants of Liaodong, and then because of the civil strife in Liao, they harvested Liao traitor servants like Yelu Yujian, and then went south to Youyun to obtain more Han servants, and finally gathered into an army of more than 100,000 that swept south to break Kaifeng.

Then continue to harvest traitor servants in Hedong, Hebei and other places, and then gather into hundreds of thousands of troops that swept through Jianghuai.

But it's just their own Meng'an Mooke population, and they may not be able to make up 100,000 young people at this time, even if it is at the peak of the Jin Kingdom, it is only about 2 million Meng'an Mooke population.

At this time, tens of thousands of people can fight.

As long as the north is gradually emptied of those who can be servants for them, and there are ten more sieges and annihilations like Rabbit Ear Mountain, the Jurchens will basically be abolished.

"It's finally my turn to enter the city!"

Wang Dashuai sat on the Iron Throne and looked at the city in front of him with a melancholy expression.

There is really nothing to do with him, the circumference of Liaoyang City is only thirty miles, roughly a square, that is to say, the length and width are 3.5 kilometers, and the planning in the city is very neat.

How long would it take for the cavalry to run from one end to the other?

It's just a few minutes.

There is no river in the city.

It can be said that in the blink of an eye, the entire inner city was flooded.

The flames lit by these guys are spreading, and then those unlucky residents are forced out of their houses, those who choose to take up arms to resist are crushed by the torrent of cavalry in the blink of an eye, and those who kneel and beg for mercy are actually crushed as well, who cares about this at this time? That is, no one kills women and children, as long as they honestly hide aside, they can ensure safety, after all, Wang Dashuai has strict orders, especially young women, who dares to kill indiscriminately, then he really wants to march the law.

As for the defenders of the city, they have simply given up the protection of the outer city at this time.

There is also a Tokyo Left-behind Division here, and the current left-behind division is Wanyan Sojun.

The son of Aguta, the Jurchen name is Luguan.

As a battle-hardened general, he was awakened from his sleep, climbed the wall of the inner city and looked outside, knowing that he should abandon the outer city directly at this time!

Then all the Jurchen troops in the inner city went to the city to defend.

As for the resistance outside, it was actually organized by those Bohai nobles and Han people.

But it was completely a mantis arm as a car, and in front of 30,000 elite cavalry, their little resistance was completely a mantis arm as a car.

This is 30,000 real elites.

Even on the battlefield, against the 30,000 Jurchen army, the latter may not be able to win steadily.

What's more, they have no organization, they are awakened in their sleep, and many scum who don't even wear armor.

"Dashuai!"

At this time, Li Hu led a person to the carriage and saluted.

The man in the back was even more frightened and knelt down.

"You've done a good job, and this battle will give you the first credit!"

Wang Yue said.

"Dashuai, being able to follow Dashuai back is already the biggest reward for the last general!"

Li Hu said.

"Haha, you can talk, who is this person, your old acquaintance?"

Wang Yue looked at the kneeling man behind him and said.

"Back to Dashuai, this is an old acquaintance that the little one grew up with, and he doesn't want to be alive, but although he followed the Jurchen, he didn't act for the tiger, he just honestly became a small businessman."

Li Hu said.

"The little Han knocks to see the big handsome."

The latter said tremblingly.

"Get up, I didn't expect it, I originally thought that the Han people in this city were gone, since there are still Han people who survived, then don't kill like this, Ben Shuai is here for the Da Liao hoe traitors, kill those Liao traitors who betrayed the Da Liao and follow the Jurchens, kill the Jurchens, it is the Bohai traitors who follow the Jurchens to fight for the tiger, and kill those traitors, but as long as they don't follow the Jurchens to fight for the tiger, they can still be pardoned.

Li Hu, this matter will be left to you.

With this brother, you go into the city to find those like him.

Whether it is the Han people or the Bohai Sea, as long as no one in the family is an official for the Jurchens, and no one follows the Jurchens to fight, all of them will be pardoned! ”

Wang Yue said.

"Thank you for your grace!"

Han Wen said excitedly as he lay on the ground.

Of course, it's too late to start looking for them now, and by the time they slowly search the whole city, it is estimated that more than half of the men in the city are dead.

"Dashuai, it's just that in this chaos, how do you let the ministries know their identity?"

Li Hu said.

Indeed, even if they find it, it is useless, and it is impossible for them to take care of it, at this time, the entire Liaoyang has already been killed, not to mention such people, if there is no password to distinguish them, maybe even they may be killed as locals. This is entirely possible, the 30,000 cavalry belonged to five families, the Song army, the Changsheng army, the Pingzhou army, the Chizhan Hui subordinate, and the Han Qingmin subordinate Liao army, and they couldn't distinguish each other at all, that is, they relied on passwords to identify each other.

He can't tell the people who were saved, can he?

"Ah, this, this is fortunate that I was prepared!"

Wang Yue said.

With that, he pulled out a large chest from under the throne......
