Chapter 1823 Chifeng Endgame (Part 2)
"Old Bian!"
"General Bian!"
This scene frightened Xie Xiaolei and Xin Ji greatly. Xie Xiaolei knew that Bian Luan's injury was more serious than his own, especially since the enraged Bian Luan would not die in a fight.
"Military doctor, where is the military doctor!"
"Come on!"
The two people quickly called the doctor over and carefully examined Bian Luan's injuries. It turned out that Bian Luan had lost too much blood and had not rested for several days before he passed out. However, his life was probably not serious.
Xin Ji asked worriedly: "How is it? Can we save it?"
"should be no problem."
The old doctor with some gray hair said softly: "I'll do my best!"
"Okay, then don't be stunned and save people immediately!"
"promise!"
Seeing Bian Luan being hurriedly carried down by the soldiers, Xin Ji looked at Xie Xiaolei with a sad face and asked softly:
"Is it the silver falcon flag with a yellow background?"
Along the way into the city, Xin Ji also saw a lot of flags of the Yan army. If he recognized his mistake correctly, it should be the yellow-backed silver falcon flag, one of the Eight Banners.
"Yes." Xie Xiaolei nodded: "Zhuoli Batu, the commander of the yellow-backed silver falcon banner, led the army. I estimate that there should be about 20,000 soldiers. I also fought against him and almost defeated him. It's a pity.
Among the Yan army were not only the silver falcon flags with yellow background, but also Zhou Weiran and Wanyan Bi."
"Are they both here?"
Xin Ji was startled and said in astonishment: "The King of Dongting and the Marshal of the Army have arrived in person. The Yan army is determined to win this battle.
If your Thunder Cavalry hadn't arrived in time and waited for the follow-up reinforcements from the Yan Army to arrive, we wouldn't have been able to take back this Chifeng City."
Xie Xiaolei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't say such things, Xin Duhu, if your reinforcements hadn't arrived first, I, Xie Xiaolei, would be a dead body right now."
The two of them talked about the war situation in the city, and Xin Ji's eyes gradually became serious.
From Xie Xiaolei's description, he could tell that the Yan army's plan was to drive straight from Chifeng City to Tanzhou City. If Tanzhou City was lost, the door to the interior of Liaodong would be opened, and the two states of Shun and Tan would probably fall into the hands of the Yan army.
The Liang army that leaves Yanyun and Yunzhou will become a lonely army without logistical supplies.
As for why Zhou Weiran wanted to massacre the people in the city, both of them had a clear conscience.
Although they had not joined the Liang Army when the Liang Army went south to suppress the rebellion during King Fu's rebellion, they were very aware of the grudges between King Fu and the Liang Army. Zhou Weiran's massacre of the city was both a form of revenge and an attack on the Liang Army.
provocative.
While the two were discussing the battle situation, Di Jiang, who was patrolling the city, walked over step by step and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Xin Duhu, Xie Shuai.
Well, do you want to come and take a look..."
The two looked at each other, and they heard a strong sadness in Di Jiang's tone.
Xin Ji waved his hand and shouted:
"lead the way!"
…
The three of them appeared in the center of an extremely tragic battlefield. From the corpses on the ground, it could be seen that those killed here were all the original garrison troops of Chifeng City. There were few voices of the Thunder Cavalry soldiers. Of course, there were also countless Yan troops.
Corpse.
Most of Liang's soldiers were stabbed several times, and their bodies were also mixed with many arrow and knife wounds.
It can be seen from the direction of the corpse that the defenders of Chifeng City were surrounded by the Yan army during the battle. Then the two sides engaged in fierce close combat, and in the end all the defenders of Chifeng City died in the battle.
Di Jiang led the two of them to a corpse. The corpse was lying on the ground in a crawling shape, with a bloody scimitar stuck in its back.
Xin Ji's eyes turned cold for a moment, and he recognized this person as Liu Yu, the lord general of Chifeng City.
Xin Ji admired this warrior who was specially transferred from Shuofeng City. In order to get Liu Yu over, Xin Ji personally asked General Zhu Tianhe for the man he wanted. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu died in Chifeng City now.
I don’t know how to explain to Zhu Tianhe when I see him again in the future.
Xie Xiaolei squatted down with difficulty, looked at the body, and shook his head: "It's covered in wounds, it's so miserable."
Di Jiang silently pointed to a corpse and said:
"This is the body of Chen Wu, the deputy general of Chifeng City. It seems that Liu Yu wanted to crawl to his brother's side at the last moment of his life..."
Di Jiang choked up as he spoke, and his eyes gradually turned red. It was hard to imagine what a fierce and fierce battle these frontier soldiers experienced before they died.
The Yan Jun who drew the sword was obviously a cruel guy. He gave Liu Yu a chance to crawl to Chen Wu, but cut off his hope at the last moment.
This is huge psychological torture.
"Are there any survivors among the original garrison in Chifeng City?" Xin Ji asked, suppressing the sadness in his heart.
Di Jiang shook his head silently:
"No, the entire army died in the battle, and the soldiers are looking for the bodies of generals at all levels."
"Huh~"
Xin Ji gritted his teeth and asked, "What about the people in the city?"
Di Jiang lowered his head and said nothing.
"answer me!"
Xin Ji's face was filled with coldness, and his deep drinking voice contained overwhelming murderous intent.
Di Jiang answered with difficulty: "Some people hid well and survived by luck, but there are very few. Only about two hundred people have been found until now."
Xin Ji and Xie Xiaolei's hearts trembled, and their faces became gloomy.
Although Chifeng City is just a small border town, there are over 10,000 people living in the city. Only about 200 people have been found.
In this massacre, the Yan army never thought of leaving anyone alive.
Xie Xiaolei's chest kept shaking, and he said with a trace of annoyance on his face: "If I could have arrived half a day earlier, I might have been able to save the vast majority of the people.
Blame me~"
"These beasts!"
Xin Ji gritted his teeth and cursed: "If I don't take revenge for this, I, Xin Ji, will never be a human being!"
"Wow, wow wow~"
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
"Ugh!"
As soon as Xin Ji finished speaking, a baby's cry suddenly echoed over the ruins. It was so clear that all the Liang Army soldiers stopped cleaning the battlefield and turned their heads to look around.
Xin Ji opened his eyes wide and glanced around, then suddenly took steps and ran towards the direction where the crying came from.
"Woo, wow wow wow!"
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
Xin Ji and Xie Xiaolei rushed into a house, removed a collapsed beam, and finally found a dark gray wooden box.
"Click!"
Xin Ji nervously opened the lid of the wooden box, and a baby-like face appeared in his sight, and the cry suddenly became louder.
The baby's cheeks were dirty, buried in a pile of clothes, and he kept crying. The baby's lips were chapped, and he was probably starving, so he cried.
It was obvious that the baby's parents hid their newborn child here after the Yan army entered the city. The baby was also very lucky. He escaped the Yan army's massacre without saying a word and did not starve to death.
The most important thing is that he can still be found by Liang Jun and is safe and sound.
