Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth ruthless revenge
The blade cut off and the head rolled to the ground.
Zhou Tai's body was divided into three parts and scattered on the ground tragically.
If you are dissatisfied with Yan Liang and insult Yan Liang, this is the outcome.
Yan Liang, who was beheading the general, stood with his sword horizontally, as majestic as the Shura God of War. There was still unfinished blood dripping from the blade.
Zhou Tai, the second most powerful general in Jiangdong's martial arts and awe-inspiring to countless Wu soldiers, became the victim of Yan Liang's sword.
The remaining Wu soldiers, seeing the brave and unstoppable Zhou Tai being beheaded, and seeing Yan Liang's terrifying ferocious power, were all frightened to the point of having their livers broken. They abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground, begging and crying for mercy.
.
Yan Liang dismissed the ants' soldiers and turned around to look east.
But they saw that Sun Quan and his hundreds of remaining soldiers had already fled from the end of the road while he was fighting Zhou Tai.
At this time, dust and smoke were rising, and Ling Tong just led the remaining troops to catch up.
Seeing Zhou Tai's tragic corpse, Ling Tong's expression changed slightly, and he knew that he must have been killed by Yan Liang, and he couldn't help but feel in awe of Yan Liang.
"Lord, Sun Quan only has a few remnants of his troops left. General, please lead an army and continue the pursuit." Ling Tong generously asked for a fight.
At this time, Sun Quan could no longer make any waves, but if he was allowed to escape to Wu Commandery smoothly and get a chance to breathe and reorganize his forces, he would still have to spend some time to quell the situation.
As for pursuit, Yan Liang, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, would not go there personally.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang ordered Ling to lead four thousand soldiers and horses to continue chasing Sun Quan eastward, while he himself turned back to Moling.
When we returned to Moling Camp, it was already bright and clear.
Looking around, I saw corpses of Wu soldiers shot to death by random arrows floating everywhere in the muddy water to the east of the Moling City Gate. The originally turbid muddy water was mixed with large amounts of blood, making the water surface even more fishy and filthy.
.
In Moling City, people's hearts had long since collapsed and they were in chaos.
Last night, in order to escape for his life, Sun Quan abandoned many civil and military officials, clan members, and old and weak soldiers in the city to reduce the burden.
Now that the news of Sun Quan's escape was known to the whole city, the people in the city who had been abandoned by Sun Quan were terrified, fearing that Yan's army would later enter the city and massacre them all.
Moling City was in chaos, but the Yan army outside the city was full of morale.
The city has been besieged for a long time and the battle has been hard. Now Sun Quan has led the remaining Wu army to escape, and Moling City is already an empty city.
The day of the destruction of the city is just around the corner.
Yan Liang had nothing to hesitate and immediately ordered the entire army to attack and make the final blow to the empty Moling City.
The tens of thousands of Yan troops with high morale began to launch an all-out attack on the Moling gates from all directions. Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the almost empty Moling gates were quickly defeated. The Yan troops with high morale
The soldiers rushed into the city like tigers and wolves.
The armies entered the city, and Yan Liang, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, then entered Moling City through the Zhuque Gate.
When Yan Liang rode his horse slowly, walked through the door with great pride, and stepped into the city of kings, which was carefully built by Sun Quan and was the most prosperous in Yangzhou, even though he was used to winning, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.
How many bloody battles, how many lives of young soldiers, how much patience, and how much sweat have been proved to be not in vain.
With Moling, a city of royal aura, Yan Liang's ambition to strive for supremacy in the world will be even more confident.
The soldiers under Yan Liang were overjoyed.
Most of the armies under his command were dominated by the Jingzhou army, and Jingzhou and Yangzhou had a grudge against each other due to the blood feud between the Sun and Liu families, and had been attacking each other for many years.
During the more than ten years when Liu Biao commanded Jingzhou, the people of Jingzhou were constantly suppressed and beaten by the people of Yangzhou, and they had to hold back a lot of bad breath.
Today, these men of Jingzhou can finally invade the heart of Yangzhou with pride and exaltation, ending more than ten years of humiliation.
The soldiers and people in that city were naturally frightened, fearing that the Jingzhou army that entered the city in large numbers would retaliate against them by burning, killing, and looting.
Their worries are obviously unnecessary.
The people of Jingzhou may hate the people of Yangzhou, but in Yan Liang's view, as long as they are willing to surrender to him, whether they are Jingzhou people or Yangzhou people, they will be the people he rules and protects.
Now that Moling has been destroyed, the creatures in this city have naturally become Yan Liang's people.
These people were his source of soldiers, his source of wealth, and the labor force for his labor. It was just a matter of establishing prestige. Of course, Yan Liang had no reason to destroy his own property.
When the city was broken, Yan Liang issued a military order that all armies must strictly abide by military discipline and must not burn, kill, loot, or kill innocent people indiscriminately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be dealt with according to military law.
Yan Liang's military law is very strict, and the soldiers naturally know it. Now that the military order is given, large-scale killings will naturally not occur. As for individual robbery, burning and killing, it is inevitable.
While restraining military discipline, Yan Liang quickly mobilized troops and horses to fill in Xuanwu Lake and dig ditches to divert the floods that flooded the city.
Yan Liang, who broke into the city, quickly showed a benevolent attitude, which surprised the frightened soldiers and people of Moling.
It has always been Yan Liang's consistent style to be kind to his subjects and cruel to his enemies.
Although most of the people in the city were spared the murderous revenge, a few mortal enemies were not lucky enough to escape death.
Before entering the city, Yan Liang gave Zhou Cang a list, and ordered his troops to enter the city, pretending to be a rebel army, and kill all the people on the list on the spot without letting anyone go.
The main characters on this list are Sun Jing, Sun Kuang, Sun Lang, Sun Yi and other members of the Sun family. Anyone who remains in Moling City will be targeted for annihilation.
In addition, all the family members of recalcitrant people such as Lu Su and Zhou Tai should be killed, while the women should be confiscated and made into slaves, and rewards should be shared among the meritorious soldiers.
Killing these people was, on the one hand, to eliminate the influence of the Sun family in Jiangdong, and on the other hand, it was to frighten those disobedient people and achieve the purpose of establishing prestige through bloody killings.
Of course, there would be no blatant killing. After all, Yan Liang still wanted to save some face for Sun Shangxiang.
So he asked Zhou Cang to kill those who deserved to die in the name of the rebel army. In this way, all these people died in the rebel army, and naturally it had nothing to do with Yan Liang.
The bloody storm filled Moling City.
Sun Quan's escape caused great harm to his people. Hundreds of men, women, and children in the Sun family were all abandoned by him in Moling City. Without exception, these people became the targets of Zhou Cang's killings.
The massacre lasted for two full days. At the end of the head count, more than 200 members of the Sun family were killed. Except for Sun Quan, all the Sun family's descendants who stayed in the city were killed.
When Yan Liang listened to Zhou Cang's report after the incident, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Sun family was really a very productive family. When Yuan Shao was exterminated by Dong Zhuo, only a few dozen people died. Yan Liang only killed them in Moling City.
More than two hundred people were killed.
"Kill well, Sun Quan dares to go against me, this is his price."
Yan Liang felt so happy that he treated his enemies so cruelly and mercilessly.
While Yan Liang was killing Sun Quan's brothers wantonly in Moling City, Sun Quan was carrying his wife Wu on his back and fled toward Wujin City in panic.
In the evening, Sun Quan, protected by more than a hundred soldiers, finally escaped into the small city.
Lu Su, who was accompanying him, fled here an hour first.
When they entered the city gate, Lu Su was already standing at the door, respectfully welcoming Sun Quan's arrival.
When Sun Quan saw Lu Su, he became very angry.
The image of him being chased by Yan Liang and calling Lu Su for help, but Lu Su turned a deaf ear and fled first, immediately came to mind.
Now seeing that good old man's face, Sun Quan frowned and said coldly: "Zijing, you run so fast."
There was obviously irony in Sun Quan's words, which satirized his disgraceful behavior of abandoning himself and running away.
"There was chaos just now. Su also fled in a hurry among the rebels, but he didn't want to fail to protect the lord in time. Please forgive me, lord."
Lu Su looked sincere, without any embarrassment or self-blame.
Sun Quan originally wanted to scold him a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he thought about it and swallowed them.
Now that he is at the end of his rope, it is a good thing that Lu Su has not abandoned him until now. If he scolds Lu Su so much that he turns his back on him, then he, the Lord of Jiangdong, will really become a loner.
Already.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan said no more, just glared at Lu Su and rode away to the county government office.
After driving the horse into Defu Courtyard, Sun Quan jumped off the horse first and stretched out his hand to his mother Wu on the horse, trying to help her off the horse.
Wu, whose clothes were torn and wrapped in a cloak to hide her shame, had a gloomy look on her face. She pushed her son's hand away and got off the horse.
Obviously, Wu at this time was complaining about Sun Quan's behavior of using him to block the sword.
"Mom, you have worked hard all the way, let's go and rest first." Sun Quan felt embarrassed and quickly asked someone to send Wu to the back hall.
Wu glared at him and strode away with a gloomy face.
Wu went to the back hall, and Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down weakly.
After traveling for a day, Sun Quan was already hungry. After the county magistrate offered wine and food, Sun Quan did not care about his dignity and swept them away like a whirlwind.
After drinking and eating, Sun Quan's energy improved a little and he turned around, while Lu Su remained silent and carefully waited on him.
After eating a full meal and burping a few times, Sun Quan remembered the situation at this time.
In the current situation, Zhou Tai has been killed in battle, and there are only less than a hundred people left out of more than 6,000 troops. Yan Liang's pursuers may arrive at any time. Even if Sun Quan escapes from Moling, his future is not optimistic.
Sun Quan felt guilty when he thought that with just a few counties, he would have to fight Yan Liang's tens of thousands of troops.
In desperation, Sun Quan thought of Lu Su again.
"Zijing, the plan you offered to keep the city away has now damaged Youping and lost all our troops and horses. Even if we retreat to Wu Commandery, we will have no soldiers or generals to use. What should we do next?
Why don't you come up with an idea quickly?" Sun Quan's words were full of complaints.
Lu Su felt drunk and felt uncomfortable for a while.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Su secretly gritted his teeth, and then he cupped his hands and said: "My lord, now that things have happened, if we want to reverse the defeat, we have to let Su take the risk and give it a try."
