Chapter 192: Ruthlessness can lead to great things
As soon as Fuka Chan left, there was no leader in Zhushan City.
The rout and chaos of the people had nothing to do, and they fled separately.
It was not that there were no officers who wanted to organize a counterattack, but after hearing that the general left the city from the north gate, the last trace of courage and determination also disappeared.
At this moment, he can only ask for more blessings, and one escapes is counted as one.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and individual bravery cannot change the overall situation.
The Eight Banners who were anxious to get out of the city rushed to the city gates, as long as they could rush out before the Ming army entered the city, they still had a chance to kill back.
But the city was too chaotic, the fire was too big, and the choking smoke minimized the visibility of Zhushan Castle, making it more and more difficult to get out of the city.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners who were lucky enough to run to the city gate were also desperate to find that the city gate cave had been crowded with people out of the city.
In order to survive, the man with a knife in his hand began to clean the passage.
When I saw the blood, I couldn't contain it.
Those who were not willing to wait for death began to resist.
At first, it was the people of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and later some people dared to pick up swords from the ground and fight with the Eight Banners.
No one wants to die, everyone wants to go out, no one organizes to maintain order, so they can only fight their own way out.
The Han army killed the Mongols, the Mongols killed Manchuria, and the people also rose up to resist, and the result was a complete chaos in the whole city.
The chaos of not even knowing who the enemy is and where he is.
Among the generals of the entire Xi'an Eight Banners stationed in Zhushan, Ewen still maintained the last sobriety of the first staff leader of the Yellow Banner, and after learning that the general Fukhachan had left the city, Ewen immediately organized his men in armor to go out of the city, and gathered the rout troops along the way.
However, the fleeing crowd came one after another, and the black pressure was a large group, which made people look frightened.
The shouts and screams of the Ming army entering the city were also everywhere, which made the routed soldiers gathered by Ewen like frightened birds.
The wind is loud, and the panic is frightened.
On the way, I don't know who shouted a statement that the army was coming, and the result was that hundreds of people were scattered in an instant.
Even the head cow that he had brought with him at the beginning of the forehead was scattered.
I was so anxious that I almost cried.
He has been fighting with Emperor Taizong since he was thirteen years old, and he has seen too many scenes of the defeat and collapse of the army, but those are all enemies of the Eight Banners!
There were Ming troops, there were Korean troops, there were Mongol troops.
His proudest achievement is that he led a few people to chase hundreds of Ming soldiers during the Chongde period, and finally returned triumphantly with a few armored men carrying hundreds of Ming army heads on horses.
At that time, it was so majestic.
Even after entering the customs, it is also invincible.
I never thought that the Eight Banners, which terrified the Ming army back then, would one day be as unbearable as the former opponents!
The devastation in front of him made Ewen feel like a knife.
Feeling heartbroken, he knew that he couldn't clean it up, so he sighed and had to take the few dozen remaining armored people to the direction of the west gate, trying to rush out before the Ming army blocked the city gate.
The smell of choking smoke in the air is getting louder and louder, and my eyes are choking on the smoke, so much that I have to blink constantly to barely see the road.
When passing through a street corner, a group of Ming troops rushed out head-on.
Ewen immediately led his men to fight with the Ming army, only to find out that something was wrong.
Where is the Ming army, they are all their own people!
It's the people of the Eight Banners.
I was so anxious that I couldn't change the facts even if I stomped my feet, and I didn't care about the injured men in armor, so I had to rush to the west gate with the remnants of my subordinates.
The scene in front of him made this Manchurian leader from the yellow flag feel frightened and incredible.
It's like the sky is falling.
In front of the city gate, hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners were lying on the ground or wailing.
Broken hands and legs covered the holes in the city gate like rain.
In the pool of blood, there were hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers kneeling on the ground.
Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Han army all had it.
At the same time, there were no less than hundreds of people squatting on the ground and making a strange movement.
It's all about holding your head with both hands.
And the initiator of all this is just a few dozen green battalion soldiers with white cloth wrapped around their heads and holding long-handled broadswords.
Obviously, these green battalion soldiers are the Ming army that infiltrated Zhushan City.
The Eight Banners, who were two or three times more numerous than the Ming army but knelt on the ground and did not dare to move, deeply stabbed Ewen's heart.
Anger made him rush forward with his knife.
In the firelight, the bloody Wang Wu's fierce gaze continued to instigate in the crowd, and the group of frightened soldiers who were swept by his gaze all trembled and lay their heads on the ground, not daring to move.
The roar in his ears made Wang Wu turn around, and then he raised the blood-dripping broadsword to meet him.
"Kill!"
The moment the two sides came into contact, it was like two huge waves crashing together.
Dozens of screams rang out at the same time, and dozens of figures fell to the ground at the same time.
In the chaos, I saw the long knife fall from time to time, I saw the broken arm fall from time to time, and I saw that everyone who was good was broken in the blink of an eye. A pillar of blood spurted into the air, and a severed arm fell to the ground, the palm of the severed arm clenched the long knife, and the fingers were moving slightly.
Ewen was stunned at first, looking at the other party in disbelief, and when he realized that his arm was cut off by the other party, he felt a huge pain like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, and he yelled in pain.
"Your Excellency!"
A Manchurian leader was just about to go over to rescue the leader, when a big knife slashed at his neck, and his head fell to the ground with a "grunt".
Kicking down the headless corpse of the Manchurian leader, Jiang Tiancheng shouted at a group of frightened Manchurian soldiers with a knife: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
The roar of the soldiers of the Ming army shocked the Eight Banners soldiers in front of them, and also made the Eight Banners soldiers who were prostrate on the ground in front of the city gate couldn't help but tremble.
They don't even have the courage to look up.
In the distance, the sound of a large group of people entering the city was heard.
Everything, the dust settled.
After dawn, Zhushan City, which had become a ruin, looked shocking, with corpses everywhere and pools of blood that had dried up everywhere.
The fire, which had been burning in the middle of the night, showed signs of abating, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
After Ma Bao led his troops into the city, he ordered Liang Guodong to lead his troops to control the city gate to clear the remaining Qing soldiers in the city, and ordered Ba Yangyuan to lead his troops to chase and kill the Qing soldiers who fled from the city.
Ba Yangyuan has not yet returned, and the overall results of the battle are not yet known, but the number of captured Eight Banners in Zhushan City alone has exceeded 1,000.
Among them, there is one assistant leader, two staff leaders, six assistant leaders, and more than 70 officers below the assistant leader.
There were also more than 300 green battalion soldiers captured.
How to deal with the captives, Ma Bao didn't need to ask Wang Wu's opinion at all, because the two sides had reached a tacit understanding in Mao'er Pass.
It's just that it doesn't stay.
But just as he ordered the execution of all the captives, Wang Wu, who was resting against the wall, suddenly got up and came to him and whispered: "What should I do with these captives, can the general listen to me?" ”
"What are you going to do with these Eight Banners?"
As long as he didn't bring people back or put them back, Ma Bao didn't care what to do with these prisoners, and he couldn't be guilty of disagreements with the Ming army because of these prisoners.
Looking at the group of captives who were ordered to squat on the ground under the city wall, Wang Wu said in a deep voice: "Order someone to chop off the prisoner's hands, and then arrange someone to stop the bleeding and stay in Zhushan." ”
After hearing this, Ma Bao looked at Wang Wu for a long time before he said: "You are more ruthless than me, and you are a capable person." ”
