The bonfire went out, and green smoke curled up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the morning sun turned into a golden glow on the horizon, the spring breeze blew on the leaves, and the woman's cry and scream were heard not far away. On the trees of the road, rows of hanged people, more than 10,000 civilian prisoners were reduced by half on this night.
A burning giant tree, scorched black with green smoke, not far in front of Wanyan Xiyi, the army around him was marching, he looked at the faint outline of the city, and took a breath, "Such a big city..... actually gave it away, should I write a letter of thanks to Tong Guan." ”
Then, he whipped his horse, the horse flicked its tail, and moved its hooves forward, and he told the lieutenant general beside him: "No matter what, you can't take it lightly, the Wu Dynasty people can't fight, there are many conspiracies, and many scouts are sent to extend around Taiyuan to see if there are any Wu Dynasty troops in ambush." ”
The lieutenant arched his hand and conveyed the order. Soon after, a large number of Wu Dynasty civilians were driven away, and in the sound of cries, ragged and staggering steps, converged into a miserable torrent towards the walls of the fortified city, and occasionally one or two with the intention of escaping were chased by the Jurchen knights roaming nearby, and stabbed to death with a single shot.
Rao is like this, the first batch of Jurchen troops is about to enter the city.
At this time, the original city was still in a state of chaos, when the news that the Jurchens broke the Yanmen Gate and Tu Xinzhou was about to come to the south, it was a little dull for the people in the city, and when they reacted, there were those who were willing to leave with their families, and there were also those who were worried about their own houses and property that they could not take away, after all, some of them were their life's work, and the people who stayed behind were anxiously waiting for the development of things, and if the Wu Dynasty army fought back, they didn't have to go again.
But then Tong Guan's tens of thousands of troops withdrew, and a large number of civilians in the city poured out when they saw that something was wrong, and the remaining people in the whole city were only about sixty or seventy thousand people.
And so the great chaos began......
On the street, it was deserted, but there were still many people walking in a hurry, the surrounding shops had been closed, most of them had moved out, a middle-aged man named Chen Qing was carrying a few handfuls of rice grains in tattered clothes and went back to his home, he looked at some people who had gone out of the city with big bags and small bags, and his eyes were a little anxious.
He originally wanted to leave, but his wife at home was about to give birth and couldn't go far, and it was possible to die in childbirth outside in such years, and then he thought that instead of dying outside, it would be better to wait for the child to be born at home, even if it was death, it was at home.
He thought so and headed home. At the north city gate, a large number of people suddenly crowded over in the road, running, frantically towards the north city gate, Chen Qing was pushed to the ground, and the rice was also sprinkled on the ground, when he stretched out his hand to pick up the rice grains, the sound of horses' hooves came from the street market in the rear, he stood up, and in his field of vision, the Jurchen cavalry advanced on the street, holding spears and steel knives and slaughtering the crowd frantically.
Blood poured out, men's cries, women's cries, children's cries gathered from behind, some ran slowly, dodged the steel knife but were knocked down by the horses, and then trampled to death by the horses' hooves, and those who were lucky not to die, dragged their broken arms or legs on the ground and wailed.
When corpses and blood stretched all the way. Chen Qing's head buzzed, and he hurriedly turned around and ran in the direction of his home, in front of the wooden house....there was a woman's wail, he stared at the picture inside with wide eyes, his wife was pressed on the bed, and a group of people were insulting. Chen Qing let out an 'ah' and rushed over frantically, and a Jurchen soldier turned around and kicked him to the ground.
After that, I don't know how long later, his wife's voice was gone, and he was lying in a pool of blood, with a stab on his neck, and in his blurred vision, he saw his child stuck in the head of the gun and took it out amid the cheers of the other party.
Chen Qing's ..... moved twice, and the qi came out of the cut throat, he felt that everything in front of him should be a dream, and he was still in a dream, and after waking up, everything should not become.....
Waves of Jurchen soldiers marched into the undefended city, and the slaughter spread in the streets and alleys of the city, like a flood that covered the past, surging in from the four gates of Taiyuan, crushing everything that could be crushed.
.....
At the north gate, Wanyan Xiyi sat on horseback with the hilt of his sword, looked at the bloody city, listened to the wailing voices, and frowned, "After ..... entered the city, have you checked every corner?
The adjutant general nodded, "Marshal Hui, it has already been investigated." ”
"Under the city walls, in the houses, these places may appear where the soldiers are hidden, and then comb a piece. After the deputy general left, Wanyan Xiyi led his own soldiers into Taiyuan, and the chaotic and bloody killing scene was not affected by him at all, "How many people of the Wu Dynasty are still in the city?"
"There are probably tens of thousands of people, quite a lot. The bystander replied.
The horse's hooves stepped on the corpses and blood stains on the street and slowly walked towards the government office, and after dismounting, he looked at the chaotic and burning streets behind him, "Don't kill them all, it's still useful to leave some to attack the beams." ”
The herald nodded and walked away. Over there, the figure had already entered the mansion.
.......
The sun was in the west, the black smoke was hazy in the sky, the time was the brightest time before night, not far from the southwest of Taiyuan, Bai Ning sat quietly on a rock and closed his eyes, and could faintly hear the sound of killing coming from Taiyuan. Then, with the sound of falling leaves in the forest, he opened his eyes and saw Yang Zhi and a young man coming over.
"Yue Fei has seen the Admiral of Dongchang. "The young man arches his hand, and the language is concise.
Bai Ning's eyebrows moved a little, and he opened his eyes to look at the other party, his eyes were round and his nose was sharp, and his eyebrows were open and facing upward, with a heroic appearance. He glanced over, reached out and patted the empty space of the rock, motioning for the other to sit down.
"Ben Du has heard of you, your mentor Zhou Dong and Ben Du have had a two-sided relationship, he said that he accepted a closed disciple in Tang Yin. ”
Yue Fei didn't sit down, but after hearing the word Zhou Tong, his face showed a respectful look, and his voice was calm: "After the teacher taught him, he traveled to the rivers and lakes, and after receiving the letter from the teacher a few days ago, Yue Fei felt a little ashamed, so he came out and wanted to do something for the people. ”
Next to him, Yang Zhi held the handle of the knife and said, "Brother Yue, why don't you come to our Dongchang to do things, you have also seen that we are different from the people in the court, we are really fighting with the Jurchens." ”
Bai Ning's gaze also fell on Yue Fei.
After a while, he shook his head, as if something was in his throat, raised his arms and clenched his fists: "Lord Xie is kind....." Yue Fei turned sideways and looked at Tai Yuan, "Dongchang Yue Fei has also heard about it, and I have seen that you are indeed running for the people, but Lord Admiral is acting, I dare not agree, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city, obviously there is time, why not withdraw them, it is okay to be tough." ”
In the fading dusk, he did not put down his body because of who the person in front of him was, how much power he had, and his voice was calm and politely refused to be wooed by the other party. However, Bai Ning is not difficult to be a strong man.
Just nodded: "The Tao is different, but it is not easy to walk in the world." Tens of thousands of people who are looking for their own death, rather than letting them be ruined by the Jurchens, it is better to radiate the last residual heat, if this battle can leave Wanyan Xiyi here, you say, how many fewer people will die?"
The words between the two of them had nothing in common, and after a while, they quieted down, and when Bai Ning got up, night fell, and the golden people in the city were still fighting, so he waved his hand, "You go, you must not want to see the tragic situation in the city." ”
Yue Fei was silent for a while, then turned around and left.
"Let's go too. Bai Ning walked down the rock, and there were only more than a dozen brocade guards behind him. (To be continued.) )
