Chapter 254 The Burning Ancient Capital 4
As Pei Le took the lead in rushing into the city, a huge gap was torn into the Hu people's defense, and the Hu people's army fell into panic and chaos. However, God seemed to think they died too slowly. A 60-pound stone bullet hit the city gate very by chance. There was only a loud noise, and the closed city gate was smashed open to the ghost, and the main force of the Liangzhou army rushed in...
Seeing this scene, even the stubborn Hu people knew that the situation was going to go, and they all rushed out with horror expressions and fled everywhere. But then they found in despair that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and they died as much as they went out!
Beigong Jing did a ruthless and desperate enough, leaving them no way out. If there is any way to go for these Hu people in the city, they will only have a dead end.
The battle lasted until the afternoon and finally ended. The Liangzhou army annihilated all the Hu people in the city and successfully recovered the new city.
Beigong Jing rode into the city with Li Rui and other officers who had made great contributions to fighting. As soon as he entered the city gate, Li Rui let the disgusting smell of bloody smell make his eyes dark and almost fell from the horse's back. After passing through the city gate corridor and coming to the street, he was shocked to find that the entire new city had become a ghost creature, with dead bodies everywhere, including Hu people who had just been killed, but more were the Western Jin army and civilians who were killed when the city was broken. This was a perfect massacre. Regardless of the military and civilians, all of them were killed. Many people were even dismembered, and their heads or thighs were hung at the door or on trees... Even if it was a horror film, if you dare to shoot this way, you would have cut only the opening dragon mark, the ending staff list and a thank-you list!
Looking at the heads hanging in the air, looking at the piles of corpses and the broken hands and feet that were thrown everywhere, his stomach was turbulent, he jumped off his horse and bent down, holding a poplar tree, and vomited out with a wow.
Beigong Jing held the war horse and looked at him with a calm expression, without even the slightest fluctuation of his voice: "Why, it's the first time I've seen such a scene?"
Li Rui did not answer, and the food residue mixed with sour water spurted out from his mouth and nose, and he couldn't speak at all.
Beigong Jing said: "This kind of scene will be staged in almost every city captured by the barbarians, and you will gradually get used to it." After saying that, he led everyone to ride a horse and left. He still had a lot of things to deal with, but he didn't have time to stay here to watch Li Ruitu.
Pei Wei was loyal and stayed. He didn't know where to get a clean white cloth towel. When Li Rui was almost vomiting, he handed it over: "Wipe, look at the miserable look you vomited. It's really a waste of time!"
Li Rui's forehead was covered with sweat, his face was pale and his spirits were depressed. He took a cloth towel to wipe his face and mouth, and asked in a low voice: "Does this kind of thing really happen often?"
Pei Wei said: "It happens often! You also crawled out of the hell of Kinmen City. You have long experienced the cruelty and bloodthirsty of the Hulu. Why do you still ask such a naive question?"
Li Rui shook his head, not wanting to speak, nor had the strength to speak. He grew up in a peaceful environment, never saw such a tragic situation of corpses and blood? When siege, he could bravely lead the crossbowmen to shoot arrows at the Hu people guarding the city walls. That was because he didn't have to fight with the Hu people in close combat, and he fought face to face, just aim at the arrows and shoot. But now, seeing the tragic situation of the soldiers and civilians in the city after they were slaughtered, he almost frightened his soul, so where would he have the strength to speak?
In this chaotic era, he, a good baby who grew up in a peaceful environment, can't adapt to it no matter what. If you have the chance, just run away quickly and make achievements. Whoever loves to go, he won't go anyway!
Beigong Jing was already numb to such things. The terrifying scene of blood flowing into a river and numb bones could no longer cause even a ray of turmoil in his heart. He moved the central military tent to the Xincheng Government Office——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The captured prisoners must be identified and dealt with immediately; the materials in the city must be counted and classified immediately; the corpses in the city must be cleaned up immediately; the soldiers who have made great contributions to the battle must discuss their merits as soon as possible and reward them... These things are all done immediately, and they cannot be delayed at all, and he is immediately busy!
In this battle, the Liangzhou Army, together with Li Rui, Pei Wei and others, suffered more than 700 casualties. The casualties were really serious, but the results were equally brilliant. At this cost, they killed a total of 5,400 Hu people, captured more than 1,200 war horses, hundreds of cattle and sheep, as well as a large number of armor, crossbows, arrows, swords, spears and other weapons. For the Liangzhou Army, which had not been very abundant in combat supplies, this time it was not worth making a fortune.
Xiao Cai. In addition, they rescued hundreds of survivors, both beautiful women and skilled craftsmen who followed the army. These two types of people are the most important trophys of the Hu people. Beautiful women can be rewarded to soldiers who have made great contributions in combat, and craftsmen can make various exquisite tools for them, create excellent weapons and equipment, and greatly improve their combat effectiveness. Therefore, every time the Hu people break a city, they will first control the beautiful women and craftsmen, and generally will not use a knife to them.
As for whether others can survive, it all depends on luck.
Beigong Jing said: "Plusses into our army and let them step up the production of cities and guard the equipment. As for those women, each of them will give them some dry food and food, so that they can escape their lives."
Zhang Xiong frowned and said, "But, as cold and cold today, the war is even more chaotic, where can these weak women in her family escape? I am afraid that none of them will survive without our army's protection!"
Beigong Jing said: "We still have to recover Yiyang. We cannot distribute troops to protect them. If they stay in the army, they will be dead!"
Zhang Xiong sighed: "In this world, there is really no way out for anyone to live." Go down and arrange it.
Beigong Jing also ordered the identification of prisoners of war, Qiang people, and Di people were left to join the army, and all the Xiongnu people were taken outside the city to behead. Liangzhou area has many ethnic groups, with a large number of Qiang people and Di people, and the degree of sinicization is quite high. There are many Qiang people in the Liangzhou army, all of whom are strong, brave and powerful elite soldiers. Beigong Jing wanted to recruit Qiang people in the Hu army, and it was easier for the Di people. However, there was no need for the Xiongnu people to recruit, and this ethnic group was just like the grassland.
Like a wolf, they are not well-fed at all. Even if they are beaten down, they will only stung for a while. No matter how much favors they give to them, it is useless. When they accumulate enough strength, they will jump up and bite you hard! The Western Jin Dynasty is pretty good to the Huns, but how did these grassland wolves come back to the Western Jin Dynasty? When the Western Jin Dynasty tortures the imperial guards during the Eight Kings Rebellion, they immediately rebel and kill the good Central Plains area to death!
For this kind of unfamiliar dog, it is better to cut it off and save worry.
Today, it was a rapid raid for dozens of miles, a field battle and a siege. The troops were exhausted. No matter how hard Beigong Jing was, he could not order the troops to continue to advance towards Yiyang. No matter how hard the Liangzhou soldiers could endure, they were still flesh and blood. Even the iron men could not bear such high-intensity marching and fighting. I was afraid that the troops would be exhausted before they touched the edge of Yiyang City. So Beigong Jing ordered the cleaning of the corpses in the city, rest in the city for a night, and set off tomorrow.
Under the fierce eyes of the Liangzhou soldiers, the Qiang people and Di prisoners of war who had just been incorporated into the Liangzhou army brought a large cart to carry the corpses onto the car, pulled them with cows, and pulled them out of the city with a squeak. Due to the bumpy road, the pile of corpses piled up on the chariots were also shaking. From time to time, one or two rolled from above and fell to the ground. The scene was quite shocking, and these prisoners of war lifted the corpses with numb expressions and threw them on, without changing his expression.
Li Rui stayed on the side of the road, watching the carts of corpses being pulled through the city gate by Jianniu and sent to the suburbs of the city for burial. He felt a piece of solid ice pressing on his heart, and his whole body was chilling and he couldn't breathe.
He had read history books and knew that the long three hundred years from the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty to the reunification of China by the Sui Dynasty was the darkest, most chaotic and bloodiest era in Chinese history. In this era, human life was even cheaper than grass, and "leading beasts and eating people" was not an exaggerated description of tyranny in this era, but a documentary. However, no matter how vivid the words were, they could not compare to visiting the scene in person. Really, just one glance, he couldn't get angry.
This chaotic era is really bloody. How long has it been since he arrived in this era? He witnessed two tragic massacres with his own eyes. What is even more desperate is that such massacres are being staged throughout northern China, and this situation will continue until the founding of the Sui Dynasty! How many people have to be slaughtered like livestock and turned into bones in ruins?
It's so scary, it's really scary.
"Why is Qu Hou so ugly? Are you scared?" A somewhat dull voice suddenly came from behind.
Li Rui looked back and saw that it was Cao Hu. This guy was unshaven and wearing heavy iron armor and carrying a strange weapon. His weapon was designed by Li Rui for him. He used a halberd. Li Rui thought the halberd was too fancy. When he saw that the guy was extremely powerful, he worked with the craftsman and made an axe gun for him. This axe gun was two meters long and had a thirty-five centimeter-long spearhead. There was a bold move under the spearhead. There was a protruding project with a hook on the other end of the spearhead. It could hit the opponent or use it as a pickaxe to hit the opponent's sky spirit cover to open the other. This weapon is 3.5 kilograms and is quite heavy. It must be a fierce man with a powerful force as a bull to use it freely.
Weapons are good weapons, but there is no blood on them. You don’t need to ask, you know that this guy didn’t know how to escape today’s battle. It’s really annoying and funny.
