The effect of the grenade was so good that it completely exceeded Xu Hun and the others' expectations. Seeing that after a while of dropping bombs, there were no more opponents standing on the opposite side, Xu Hun waved his hand and said: "Charge up and catch the ones alive."
In Xiaoxing Village, close combat continues, but the sound of fighting is much less than before.
In the village, blood stained red can be seen at any time, and from time to time, some corpses can be seen lying on the ground or on the earthen walls of houses.
The whole morning, until after noon, the battle came to an end. A total of 1,200 Huns cavalry, including 500 wounded, 90% were left here. According to subsequent statistics, those who actually took advantage of the chaos to escape
There were less than a hundred Xiongnu soldiers, and they all took advantage of Xu Hun's encirclement of Gao Chu to break out from other directions.
But those were no longer important. When he learned that one of the wounded prisoners was the general commanding the Huns, Xu Hun knew that this time the mission was completed.
In this battle, more than 600 Xiongnu soldiers were killed and nearly 500 were captured. Longya and Anxiang also suffered heavy losses. 150 of the 600-man team were killed on the spot and 200 were injured.
About half of them were damaged in the battle, which made Xu Hun and everyone hate the Huns soldiers. Then they started interrogating the prisoners on the spot in Xiaoxing Village.
Perhaps because of anger in their hearts, Longya worked extra hard during the interrogation. In less than half an hour, they tortured dozens of people to death, and the number of prisoners was reduced to only four hundred.
When such cruel methods came into the eyes of other Huns, they finally felt afraid.
But there are few people who are not afraid of death. At least these Huns soldiers are not among those who are not afraid of death.
After having those dozens of role models, the subsequent interrogation speed was much faster. Everyone, including Gao Chu, provided great cooperation. They really said whatever they asked. They just wanted to survive.
Soon, Xu Hun had a long list of confessions in his hands. It was only when he held these things in his hands that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately wrote another memorial to Tang Ao, finishing the matter here.
A detailed report, and at the same time, I also asked for credit for the members of Longya and Anxiang who died and were injured in the battle.
...
In Daliang City, Xiao Mansion.
It's called a mansion, but it's just a small courtyard with only a few houses in total.
This is the residence of Xiao Ke, Deputy Qianhu of the Jinjia Guard.
A long time ago, Xiao Ke was a Qianhu, and he was recommended by Shen Yunyi, the Marquis of Zhongcheng at that time. However, the general trend of the world soon changed, and the Silver Armored Guards were eventually removed, and many personnel were merged into the Golden Armored Guards.
, Xiao Ke also came with him, and his official position was reduced by half a level instead of being promoted.
Speaking of which, the Silver Armored Guard is naturally not as famous as the Golden Armored Guard. This is equivalent to being transferred to a higher-level department, and it is normal to be demoted by half a rank. But in fact, it is not the case. Many people who were far inferior to Xiao Ke have been promoted. Only people like them,
Only those who have no backers and no money can stay where they are. The truly rich have long ago become one thousand households, two thousand households, three thousand households, or even five thousand households and ten thousand households.
Xiao Ke has been working as deputy Qianhu just because he has no money to give gifts, and his position is not embarrassing.
If you are poor, think about change!
It's not that Xiao Ke has never thought about changing the status quo, such as colluding with other Jinjiawei and squeezing the people for gold and silver, or leaving here and going to other places. For example, he has been recommended by Shen Yunyi, and some
For friendship, going to Dahua Country is a good choice.
However, Xiao Ke is not a bad person by nature and cannot bully the people. He thinks this is a shameful thing.
Secondly, he wanted to go to Dahua, but there was no suitable opportunity. He didn't even know if Shen Yunyi still remembered him. He went there rashly and was arrested as a spy. What should he do?
He is the father of three children, and has a wife and a concubine. The family's hope for life lies in his own body, so he does not dare to be careless or careless in the slightest.
Without hesitation, the days passed day by day, so that now it became a little difficult for him to support his family. This was all because Kong Fu began to intervene in the management of Jinjiawei and began to withhold military pay and put it into his own pocket, which made Xiao Gram's income has plummeted.
Daliang City is still the same Daliang City, but many things in the city are different from before. After being heavily taxed, merchants can only increase prices to make up for their losses. With the same amount of money, the items that can be purchased are greatly reduced. , Xiao Ke is miserable with the increase in the cost of living.
I was busy all night last night, fighting and cleaning up corpses until almost noon, then I dragged my somewhat tired body back home. I forced a smile to say hello to the two ladies, and then After teasing with the three children, he returned to his own bedroom on the pretext that he was tired and wanted to sleep for a while.
After throwing his whole body on the wooden bed, Xiao Ke couldn't help but sigh. But then a very small voice sounded in his ears, "What's wrong? Is there anything bothering Mr. Xiao Qian?"
"Hey" he sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and then Xiao Ke saw a young man appearing in the bedroom at some point, looking at him with half-smiling eyes.
"Who are you?" An outsider suddenly appeared in the room. Xiao Ke became wary and unconsciously touched the bedside with his right hand. There was his standard iron knife.
"Deputy Xiao Qian, there is no need to panic. We have no ill intentions. We are the people of Marquis Zhongcheng." The visitor noticed Xiao Ke's actions and reminded him. At the same time, a letter was thrown on the wooden bed in his hand. , and placed it next to Xiao Ke.
He looked up and saw that it was written by Xiao Ke personally. Then Xiao Ke opened it out of curiosity. To his surprise, it turned out to be Shen Yunyi's personal letter. The general idea was to recall the relationship between the two. Friendship, and then briefly explained the situation of the Great China Country, and finally invited Xiao Ke to join the Great China Country, and promised that the other party's abilities would be reused. If you have such an idea, you only need to contact the person.
Of course, if he didn't have such thoughts, he wouldn't be embarrassed. The visitor would leave immediately, leaving some money behind to express his previous feelings, and he wouldn't be harassed in the future.
Xiao Kewan never thought that with his current status as Shen Yunyi, he would be able to write a handwritten letter to himself. This was a great honor. If someone gave himself such dignity, he had to keep it. Then he raised his head and saw the person who sent the letter. When he joined the Dragon Ya team, his face was filled with incomparable enthusiasm, "Xiao listened to Marquis Zhongcheng's words and is willing to join the Great Chinese Army. If you need anything from me, just ask me."
"Very good. First of all, I welcome Deputy Xiao Qian to join the Great Chinese Army. The first task is to give a detailed explanation of what happened last night, and then I would also like to trouble you to put the situation in writing. Oh, by the way, in order Next, for your safety, your family needs to leave the city immediately. We have arranged the carriage, which is at the entrance of the alley. When you leave, you only need to take some of your belongings with you. The other things will be there naturally when you arrive at your destination. The distribution will be very complete, so don’t worry.”
Next, Xiao Ke will serve as a witness to prove that Tang Qingshan's death has nothing to do with Tang Ao. Then this person will inevitably become a thorn in some people's eyes, a thorn in the flesh, and may even affect the safety of the people at home. Move away in advance
, which is an act of protection.
Xiao Ke naturally understood and was full of gratitude for Long Ya's actions. He immediately called the two ladies and explained to them. Then he sent a family of five to the carriage. After watching them leave,
Xiao Ke disappeared into the alley along with the Longya team members.
...
Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall.
Tang Jiazheng, the obedient king in mourning, lowered his head and sobbed softly, but if you look carefully, you will find that there was not a single tear in his eyes.
It's not his fault. He killed his father himself. He was the one who benefited the most. He was about to ascend the throne that he had longed for. At this time, how could he shed tears?
.
If it weren't for the fact that all the ministers were in the main hall, he would have thrown his head up to the sky and laughed.
Tang Jiazuo was pretending to cry there, but some of the ministers below actually cried. Of course, more people still quarreled.
A group of ministers, led by the Minister of War, Cheng Bolin, the Minister of Households, Rui Butong, and the Minister of Works, Mingshan, were talking about the cause of His Majesty's death. They questioned who killed the late Emperor Tang Qingshan on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence.
Faced with this problem, Kong Fu took the initiative to answer the challenge: "Kong has made it very clear that it was Tang Ao who colluded with the Blood Dragon Temple and killed the late emperor through internal and external cooperation. Mo Tongming saw this with his own eyes, right?
Oh, don’t lead me.”
"Yes, that's exactly what happened. Last night, Mo and his golden armored guards fought a bloody battle with the enemy. It's a pity that he failed to protect His Majesty's safety in the end. I neglected my duty..."
While talking, Mo Chengyu lowered his head proactively, looking very guilty.
Mo Chengyu has now stepped onto Tang Jia's warship. He cannot get off under any circumstances, otherwise he will truly be a human being inside and out. At this moment, all he can do is follow Kong Fu's words.
.
"Did you really kill all night? In this case, Commander Mo has worked very hard, and the losses of the Jinjia Guards are not small." Cheng Bolin, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, is naturally a person who knows the military, so he asked this question.
.
"Yes, in the battle last night, the Jinjiawei killed hundreds or thousands of people, and countless others were injured. These are all our good men!" Mo Chengyu responded, he was not afraid of anyone in this matter.
Go check it out. In the battle with the Blood Dragon Temple last night, Jin Jiawei did suffer some losses, but it was not as exaggerated as he said.
