The half body of Saburo Shimono was kicked off the tower by He Jizhen.
The body with half of the spine attached fell into the ruins. No one looked at it, no one cared about it, and no one knew about it. It became so insignificant on the battlefield.
Not to mention half a dead person, even a whole living person, no one cares.
He Jizhen did not shout that he had killed the enemy general, but just guarded Zhao Baodan's retreat.
There is no need to shout, and there is no need to shout, because He Jizhen knows that Chu Qing does not accept prisoners of war, and Ying thieves are just Ying thieves. There are no Ying thieves who desperately fight back, and there are no Ying thieves who kneel down to pray for mercy. Ying thieves are just Japanese thieves.
Ying thief, live or die.
A fire was ignited on the city wall. The city walls of Xianye City were like an old man in his dying years. They could not withstand any wind, rain or fire, and large areas began to fall off.
Zhao Baodan wanted to be possessed by the devil, so he jumped to the inside of the city gate, guarded the corner, felt the overwhelming heat, and killed everyone in all directions.
If you were not possessed by a demon, how could you not think of retreating when faced with thousands of troops, but just stand guard in the corner of the city wall, intent on killing a single word?
Zhao Baodan is lucky. He leaves no escape route, but his friends are concerned about him. The soldiers are brave.
Chu Qing's battle formation, led by Wang Baoyu, stepped onto the ruins of the city wall, shuttled through the flames, and entered Xiaye City.
Liao Wenzhi kicked Wang Tianyu on the buttocks, pointed at Zhao Baodan on the corpse in the corner, and was so angry: "Didn't you say that the old Taoist died in the battle?"
Wang Tianyu pretended to be dumbfounded: "Is he so resistant to falling?"
Before Liao Wenzhi could kick him, Wang Tianyu waved his hand and led the people into the city.
Next comes the real slaughter.
Xiao Zhi, who was covered in blood, turned around and found Chu Qing's figure.
A single eye contact is enough for the two of them to understand what the other person means.
Xiaozhi, should I kill him?
Chu Qing, yes, the chickens and dogs will not be left behind.
The ancients did not have the concept of street fighting at all, and the military did not practice street fighting. For the people, when the city was broken, when the enemy troops rushed into the city, it was a disaster, and the morale and morale of the army would plummet.
Reached a freezing point.
More and more Chang troops rushed into the city. Even though they killed thousands of Japanese thieves, they were still filled with anger, even more angry than before they set foot on the battlefield.
You thief, how dare you, how dare you kill me, Pao Ze?!
Today's Changjun naval commander has the confidence to be angry. I can kill you Ying thief, but you Ying thief can't kill my brothers!
"Except for the north gate city wall, all other buildings will be blown up and all other people will be killed."
Chu Qing no longer had the strength to continue charging, and the order from the top military commander of the three East China Sea domains was conveyed to the ears of the troops behind him.
Shimoye Castle is destined to become history, an unknown history, because Yingdao will be submerged in hatred and sand.
The troops no longer needed to form a battle formation. They entered the city with murderous intent. Except for the robes, nothing was allowed to be moved. Anyone who could be moved must die!
"The Japanese thieves in Kyoto's flag army are wearing black full-body armor and hats. Find them and keep them alive. The rest of the Japanese thieves will die!"
After Chu Qing shouted again, he lowered his head and saw a burning battle flag. He didn't recognize the pattern or the words on it. He only knew that it had the emblem of the Shimono family on it.
Kicking away the burning battle flag, Chu Qing spat with a hei-tui sound.
In the distance, Xiao Yi shouted: "Commander, I've caught you!"
Xiao Yi, who was covered in blood, was like Sha Wujing who was going to seek Buddhist scriptures. He was carrying an iron gun, and the other end of the iron gun was stuck in the thigh of a Japanese thief. To be precise, it was the Japanese thief who was hung on the iron gun, crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf.
.
The third brother took a closer look and his expression changed slightly: "The flag army guarding Kyoto, their emperor..."
"Yes." Chu Qing nodded: "Just outside the city, I saw the body of a banner soldier."
The nature of the Banner Army is similar to that of the eight major battalions in the capital of the Chang Dynasty. They guard the capital and protect the emperor. They will only leave the capital under two circumstances. One is that the border war is tense and the most elite troops in the capital have to be used.
The second situation is that the imperial commander personally marches, and the country and the dynasty take the lead and leave the capital to fight.
Compared with the eight battalions in Beijing, the Japanese flag army in Kyoto has only one battalion, which has always been fully staffed, with a total of 80,000 people. There has never been a precedent of leaving Kyoto, and there has never been a precedent of mobilizing some of them. So it is very difficult.
It is possible that the Emperor of Kyoto personally came to die.
If this is the case, the strategic significance of Shimoye Castle becomes extremely important.
There are two other castles on the north side of Shimono, Kawajo Castle and Kusami Castle.
These three cities are almost in a straight line, and there is only one road that can accommodate the rapid march of the army.
If Shimono Castle is not captured, at least 80,000 Kyoto banner troops can enter Shimono Castle. They can advance, attack, and retreat or defend. If the war goes unfavorably, the emperor can retreat leisurely.
Not only Shimoye Castle, but also Kawacheng and Jiu Shangcheng can play this role. They can form a tug-of-war. If you can't advance, defend the city. If you can't hold it, retreat. Retreat from Shimono to Kawacheng and from Kawacheng.
Arrive at Jiu Shang City.
This means that the more cities Chu Qing captures, the less space the Kyoto banner army has to move around.
However, it is all speculation now, and further information is needed for the specific situation.
There was still fighting, or rather massacre, in the city. Chu Qing handed over the flag army to Lin Kui and his third brother, and waited patiently.
Xiaye City is as bright as day. There is no need to use heavy fire oil to set fire to it. It will only destroy the city and destroy the buildings. This city is likely to be useful to everyone. There is no need to use heavy fire oil to set it on fire.
It can be said that the people of Xiaye City are all in arms.
As the city lord, Saburo Shimono had already ordered all the Japanese thieves to gather on the south side of the city wall in an extremely tough way, ready to fight at any time.
In fact, when Chang's army was fighting outside the city, only one third of the troops were real Japanese thieves, and most of them were common people, including men, women, old and young.
However, this did not cause any psychological burden to any Changjun.
If it is just a unilateral massacre of unarmed people, they may hesitate, but on the battlefield, even a child who has just learned how to run, as long as he is on the battlefield, as long as he is not in the same camp, he is an enemy, that is
It's entirely possible to kill your own enemies.
This is also common sense. On the battlefield, you should not have any compassion. When you feel compassion for the enemy, you will not only harm yourself, but may also kill Paoze.
Freddy was in charge of interrogation, the third brother was in charge of translating, and the kind-hearted Liao Wenzhi was in charge of bandaging the wounds of the banner army Japanese thieves.
Halfway through the wound bandage, all the questions that needed to be asked were asked. Liao Wenzhi put down the dressing, drew out his long sword, and gave the Japanese thief a chill.
The reason why Lao Liao bandaged the Japanese thief's wounds was because he was afraid that the enemy would bleed to death before he finished asking questions. Now that he had asked all the questions, why should he keep them?
Chu Qing also called his friends over. There was no need to consider winning or losing in this battle from the beginning. If Chang Jun, who had gunpowder crossbows and powerful kerosene, would lose, there would be no need to stay on Yingdao.
Already.
The soldiers continued to destroy the city and the people in the city. The friends gathered together. As the third brother explained the situation, everyone looked at each other.
Chu Qing guessed wrong, or half right.
The emperor did not come, but the banner army did come, totaling 80,000 soldiers.
Leading these 80,000 Kyoto banner troops is the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine of Yingdao.
"A Japanese thief old woman went into battle with 80,000 of her most elite infantry..."
Chu Qing also gained some insight: "You don't take us seriously?"
