Chapter 143: Purgatory on Earth, I Want Them to Return It a Hundred Times!
An army of several hundred people, without carrying any siege equipment, wants to take down a city, which is undoubtedly a bit like a fantasy.
But Zhu Yunxi's expression was very serious.
This is also an important reason why the rapid march of the new army reached the city of Songjiang as quickly as possible.
The Forces nouvelles are armed with cross-generational weapons.
It has a completely new operational ideology and operational concept.
It is impossible for the pirates and thieves to find a way to deal with such an army in a short time.
Therefore, even if it lasts for three or five days or even longer, it will not have any impact on the battle situation.
But the people of Songjiang are still under the control of the Japanese and the rebels, and may be suffering the worst of the ravages.
The second is that even if there are guns, there is no heavy artillery to knock down the city wall, and it is not easy to attack the city.
The cracking method that Zhu Yunxi thought of was to fight fast and solve quickly.
The robbers and thieves have been routed under the city of Jiaxing and fled in all directions.
Last night, he deliberately let the garrison in Jiaxing pursue them all night.
Zhu Yunxi doesn't care how many heads can be harvested, otherwise, if he directly lets the new army chase after him, he will definitely be able to harvest more.
His main purpose was to prevent those robbers and thieves from having any respite.
Even to escape back to Matsue Castle, you have to take a detour.
Because on the road directly back to Songjiang, there is undoubtedly the most chasing soldiers.
In order to escape for their lives, they had to disperse.
In addition, many people are tired, hungry, and exhausted, and they run away, so they can't escape, so they can only find a place to hide.
Therefore, although the new army set out early the next morning, they came to Songjiang Fucheng.
But as soon as the new army marched fast enough, it ran more than 130 miles in one day.
Second, the defeated army that fled for its life did not dare to flee along the main road like the new army, but hid in all directions and hid in Tibet, and the speed was naturally much slower than that of the new army.
In addition to the hundreds of Japanese who really came from the East, the remaining servant army, including Zhang Shicheng's old troops and smuggler salt dealers, was already frightened after seeing the new army's Tianwei.
They were a rabble, and when they were powerful, they clinged to them.
Now that the Japanese are defeated, most of them are scattered as birds and beasts.
Only a small part will think of escaping back.
Therefore, as long as the new army is fast enough, it is possible to reach Songjiang Mansion before the defeated pirates and other rebels return.
At this time, there were only a very small number of people left behind in Songjiang Fucheng, and it was almost an empty city.
When Zhu Yunxi saw that the city gate was not even closed, he knew that the development of things was almost exactly the same as he expected.
The Wako didn't even have any preparations.
Maybe they haven't received the news of the defeat at the front.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi immediately gave the order to attack the city without hesitation.
One hundred new troops, equipped with rear-loading guns and fixed ammunition, took the lead in the charge.
They don't need to improvise gunpowder, and they are the fastest at firing guns, making them suitable for firing while charging.
At this time, the city of Jiaxing has fallen into a hell on earth.
In later generations, many people thought that the slaughter of the city was when the enemy army entered the city, and then killed people when they saw them, until they were completely killed, and no one was left.
But in reality, although there are such cases, they are very, very rare.
Because the slaughter of the city is often not the goal, the looting of money is the fundamental.
Kill everyone directly, and the gold and silver treasures will not be found, which is not cost-effective.
The real massacre of the city is to enter the city, first appease, and then, the soldiers begin to come to the door in twos and threes, asking for money.
If you don't give it, you will be threatened with cutting off your hands and feet, or even killing people.
For example, kill the elderly in the family first, or kill the children.
Force the other party to come up with money, otherwise, they will continue to kill.
There is often no fixed amount, depending on the mood of the rebels, and it depends on whether you can hand over the money to his satisfaction.
If there is a daughter in the family, or a beautiful wife, the rebels will obviously not let go.
And that's just the beginning.
Because then there was a second group of rebels, and a third group of rebels......
Round after round of looting, round after round of demanding, round after round of killing.
Even if you can avoid the first and second rounds, you can't avoid the next three, four, and five rounds......
Once they can't hand over the money that satisfies the rebels, then they will kill people without mercy.
That's what scares me the most.
There is a vague glimmer of hope for survival, but in reality it is very slim.
After rounds of extortion, he was drained of all his money and then brutally murdered.
Before he died, he may have to endure endless torture.
After seven or ten days of ravage, there were basically not a few people still alive in the city.
They're all killed.
That's the slaughter of the city in most cases!
The methods of the Japanese are much more cruel than the ordinary rebels.
The traitors who cling to the Japanese are even more deprived of their conscience.
In addition to plundering wealth, they also take pleasure in torturing and killing people to satisfy their perverted hobby.
Near the city gates, a group of young girls were driven into the corner.
More than 100 widows are enjoying themselves.
Not far away, there were many servant troops who had defected to the Japanese Invaders, groveling to the Japanese and flattering them to the fullest.
"My lord, these are the youngest and most beautiful women in the city, and the little ones searched for a long time before they found them all and gave them to the adults to enjoy."
"Hahaha!"
One of the widows was smiling, holding a jug of wine in his hand, and pouring it into his mouth from time to time.
He walked up to a terrified teenage girl and pushed her to the ground.
Tear it up!
The girl's clothes were torn apart.
"Don't!"
The girl resisted desperately.
But the more this is the case, the more it arouses the beastly desires of the Japanese cowards.
The other would-be pirates were happily watching.
They drank and cheered.
"This little girl's skin is enjoyable, good-looking, and spicy enough!"
"Yamamoto Twenty-Eight, you have to work harder and kill her!"
"Are you okay, do you want me to come?"
……
The women were all trembling with fear, one huddled up, and began to become numb in despair.
The traitors standing on the side are much more numerous than the Japanese robbers.
Witnessing this scene, not only did he not save his own people, but he also applauded.
"Your Excellency is mighty!"
"Good job, sir!"
"Being ravaged by adults, but it's a blessing that you have cultivated for three lifetimes."
……
Their posture is a hundred times more hateful than that of the Japanese Bandits.
"Quack, little girl, I like it."
Yamamoto began to take off his clothes.
"Sister!"
Just as he was about to pounce, a little girl of seven or eight years old came out of nowhere and stopped in front of the girl.
"Xixi, why did you come out? Hide! ”
The girl was so frightened that she cried out in a hurry.
The little girl didn't dodge, although she was timid, she still mustered up her courage and stared at Yamamoto Twenty-eight, who was walking step by step.
"Demons!"
She scolded fiercely.
"Hahaha!"
Yamamoto laughed out loud instead.
"This thin skin and tender meat must have more flavor than your sister, quack ......"
His face is hideous, and his humanity has long been lost, and he is not even as good as a beast.
looked at the little girl in front of him, and was ready to attack her.
"Xixi go away."
The girl hurriedly rushed over and tried to stop the wolf.
But how can her strength compare to the murderous Yamamoto Twenty-Eight.
Syllable!
The girl was thrust to the ground.
Yamamoto Twenty-Eight smiled, and his claws were about to stretch out to the little girl Xixi.
"Oh no! There is an enemy attack! ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Kato Masasa, the leader of the Japanese who remained in Matsue Prefecture, hurriedly asked, "Where did the enemy come from?" ”
The main force of the Japanese invaders went to attack Jiaxing with a large number of servant troops.
In the bordering Suzhou Prefecture, there were not many Ming troops.
Before the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, they will only defend, not attack.
It stands to reason that Songjiang Mansion at this time should be absolutely safe.
"There it is!"
The warning man pointed to the new army that was rushing towards the city gates.
Kato's face changed suddenly.
"Close the gates! Open the gates! ”
He shouted desperately.
However, it was already too late.
"Bang!"
A widow was about to close the city gate when he was shot down.
Immediately after that, bang......
The gunshots rang out like loud firecrackers.
One by one, the Japanese fell with it.
Soon the blood flowed at the city gate, and the new soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city gate as fast as they could.
The Japanese and the traitorous servants who were attached to them had not yet recovered from their shock, and the new army had already entered the city!
In just a few moments, hundreds of people have already been shot.
Most of them are the most elite Wakos.
The new army that poured into the city was like a flood that had been discharged from the floodgates, rolling down and unstoppable.
Destroy all the forces of resistance like a wither.
"Run!"
Neither the Japanese nor the recruited servant army had ever seen such a terrifying scene.
The weapons in the hands of these people don't know where they are.
Just aim, followed by a deafening bang, and then someone fell.
It was like a heavenly soldier descending from heaven and sweeping everything.
The Japanese and servant armies, who were still extremely ferocious and invincible just now, were already terrified.
One by one, they fled as fast as they could.
A scene under the city of Jiaxing was repeated again.
Only this time, not in the wild, but in the city.
The soldiers of the new army began a new big pursuit.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Gunshots rang out incessantly.
Unlike in the wilderness, the only escape route in the city is the streets.
But once they ran into the street, they were exposed to the field of vision of the Recruits soldiers, and became a live target for guns to aim and fire.
On the plains, you can flee in all directions, but the city is confined by houses.
But.
The Japanese and traitor servants also quickly discovered this.
Immediately, they rushed to the rooms on both sides of the street.
And this happened to fall into the hands of the new army.
They were not in a hurry to clean up, but rushed straight through the street.
From the West Gate, rush all the way to the East Gate.
They were to shut the gates of the city before the thieves and traitors in the city fled.
Close the door and beat the dog.
Zhu Yunxi had already made the arrangement.
Once they escaped, they would definitely go to the beach and flee by boat.
The traitor servants either fled to the sea with the Japanese invaders, or they became a people and blended in with the common people.
turned into a victim again.
It was very difficult for the court to find them out.
This is also a key reason why it is extremely difficult for the Ming Dynasty to suppress the Japanese.
If you gather, you will be a coward, and if you scatter, you will be the people, and you will be inexhaustible.
But lock them up in the city, and they won't be able to escape.
The Japanese and traitor servants were only concerned about hiding and fleeing for their lives, and they did not think about these things at all.
Soon, the gates on all sides fell into the hands of the new army.
There were very few Japanese and traitorous servants who escaped.
Zhu Yunxi's carriage, supported by a group of brocade guards, slowly drove into the city.
There was devastation in front of me.
Destroyed houses, burned buildings......
The streets are littered with the corpses of people who have been tortured and killed.
Many are incomplete.
His hands and feet were cut off, and his head was cut off.
Some people were even disemboweled, and all their internal organs were dug out.
On the corner of the street, there is a group of women who have been insulted and are being so frightened that they are hugging their bodies tightly and are tired.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine such a purgatory on earth.
"These beasts are not as good as the beasts!"
Zhu Yunxi gritted his teeth.
The hatred of the Japanese and their traitorous servants rose to an unprecedented height.
"For Gu Sou, we must find out all of them, and we are not allowed to let any of them go."
"The suffering they inflicted on the people of the Ming Dynasty is a hundred times more repayable."
