(In the past two days, due to network failures, two chapters were basically posted at the same time.) However, after all, they are all farmers. In addition to their brute strength, they have no combat experience at all. Compared with regular troops, they
At best, they are just a bunch of rabble.
Facing the mighty army under the city, they were anxious and afraid, but they had no intention of retreating at all. Instead, they tenaciously threw themselves into the battle. The men were responsible for throwing stones at the city, while women and children kept throwing stones at them.
"Ammunition" was transported to the city, and the Chu soldiers launched several attacks in turn, but were eventually defeated.
Sun Chaozong and the Golden Gun King were very angry about this. After confirming that the towers were all ordinary people, Sun Chaozong once again commanded the troops to climb up with ladders. The Golden Gun King ordered the archers to use special arrows as cover.
The improved bow not only has a long range, but also has extremely lethal power. It was the most commonly used weapon in ancient battles.
"Fire arrows!" Following the King of the Golden Gun's command, "swish, swish, swish", hundreds of long arrows shot straight towards the city tower. The people in the city did not know how to protect themselves, and many people
He was unprepared and died from several arrows in his body. The others did not give up resistance because of this. They picked up the farm tools in their hands and slashed at those Chu soldiers who were lucky enough to climb up the tower. They chopped down several times.
, Chu soldiers suffered countless casualties.
However, with the continuous supply of the Chu army's reserve force and the cover of bows and arrows under the city, the people quickly turned from active to passive, fighting and retreating all the way. They realized that the city could not be saved, so they held on to the idea that the city was still alive.
Now, determined to perish the city, he rushed forward suddenly, hugged Chu Bing's body and fell down the city.
When Sun Chaozong saw that his troops had lost their troops and died at the hands of the common people, he couldn't help but became furious, so he sent troops to the city one after another to replenish the troops. The King of the Golden Spear personally led his troops to attack the city gate. Those responsible for defending the city were all
There were some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city. Despite this, the rebels led by the King of the Golden Gun were still unable to attack for a long time. He was anxious for a moment and immediately thought of an evil idea to burn Changqing, so he ordered his men to set fire to the city with bows and arrows.
In an instant, there were dots of fire in the air, and countless screams were heard from the city. The rebels took the opportunity to slam into the city gate. After a while, the city gate opened wide, and the rebels and Chu army rushed into the city.
They attacked and chopped down everyone they saw, even the civilians who laid down their weapons and surrendered.
At this moment, almost all the people on the city tower were killed by Sun Chaozong's troops, leaving only some old, young, women and Confucian people. These people were all driven off the city tower. At the same time, the King of Golden Gun ordered his men to officially massacre the city.
No one was allowed to stay alive. After receiving this order, the soldiers started a bloody fight in the city without restraint. Some soldiers even held a private killing competition. The winner would win the most beautiful woman in the city...
Corpses littered the streets and outside shops. Many soldiers took pleasure in killing people. They specially gathered children under the age of ten together and then picked them to death one by one with spears. They held them in the air and shook them back and forth until the intestines of the corpses were dragged away.
When they got to the ground, the soldiers seemed to still be unsatisfied. They then chopped off his heads with knives and strung them together like candied haws. The scene was too horrific to watch.
The King of the Golden Gun was naturally lustful, so he personally searched the city and captured any pretty woman. Anyone who resisted would be brutally beaten by the soldiers on the spot. Many women could not bear the animal-like humiliation and committed suicide by hitting the wall one after another.
, those who failed were gang-raped by several soldiers.
Sun Chaozong secretly lamented that the rebels were too brutal. However, the Chu soldiers under his command were not good at all. They were even worse than the rebels. They forcibly broke into the houses and gathered all the nearby people into a room, and then
Burned with fire, those who were lucky enough to escape would either have their heads cut off or be burned with sacks covering their heads...
... As the atrocities continued to be carried out, in addition to the cries, shouts and groans, the only sounds left in the streets and alleys were cries for help. Many people kept shouting "Your Majesty, save me" before they died.
Then, while accusing the evil deeds of the two teams, some old men knelt on the ground, bowed their hands, and shouted to the dark sky: "There is no sky, there is no sky, Your Majesty, these beasts are treating our Donglin people like this, do you want it?"
Revenge for us, old man, I don’t ask for anything else, I just want to turn into a ghost after death and come to deal with these beasts for you..." After that, he slammed his head against the wall and died on the spot. The two of them died on the spot.
His eyes were still fixed on the Chu soldiers who came up. In anger, the Chu soldiers picked up the knife and stabbed him in the chest several times...
"Master Jun, please let me and my children go. I beg you." In a small alley, several rebels were surrounding a young woman with messy clothes, but they saw that the young woman was holding a baby in her arms who was waiting to be fed.
Baby, she kept kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, hoping to keep the child in her arms
One of the rebels snorted coldly: "Your husband is helping the tyrants to commit evil. You teach us how to let you go. And this scoundrel in your hands may even kill us when he grows up in the future."
The young woman hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, the slave family dares to promise these military masters that my son will definitely not do such a thing in the future. Please trust the slave family."
"Believe you? You are a woman, why should we trust you?" Another rebel stared at the young woman's chest with a squinting look. Maybe it was because she had just finished breastfeeding, and the clothes on the young woman's chest were
Before he could tie it up, half of his white breasts were exposed, making several rebels swallow their saliva.
The young woman knew that these people had evil intentions towards her. Although she was extremely disgusted in her heart, she could only say with tears: "If these military masters can let my children go, the slave family will do whatever they want."
The rebels laughed loudly and couldn't help but drag the young woman to the corner. After a while, they took off all her clothes. The young woman did not make any resistance. Tears washed her eyes over and over again. She bit her
His lips allowed themselves to be ravaged by these beasts, while his eyes stared lovingly at the crying child who was thrown aside.
...After that, the rebels came out happily holding up their pants, but the young woman was lying naked in the weeds. She slowly put on the torn clothes, and then she
With tears in her eyes, when she was about to get up and pick up her baby, she heard an angry shout from outside the alley: "Mom, you are so stupid, didn't you say that no one is allowed to be left alive? Where is the cry of the child coming from?"
The speaker was the King of the Golden Gun. He was seen riding a tall horse with two handsome and beautiful women tied to the horse. He soon heard the sound coming from the alley, so he asked two soldiers to go in and investigate. The young woman
She was about to dodge, but was still discovered. At this moment, the baby in her arms was crying fiercely. The two queens snatched the baby angrily, then came to the King of the Golden Gun and said: "Report to General, found in the alley
a baby"
The King of Golden Guns glanced at the baby in confusion and said casually: "A baby is also a life. It is really difficult for me, the general, to do anything to a baby. So, just throw him into the wilderness to feed those jackals, tigers and leopards."
"yes"
"No, don't -" As soon as she finished her words, the young woman ran out of the alley with tears in her eyes, knelt down in front of the King of the Golden Gun and said: "General, please let the slave's child go, he just died.
If you are not even old enough, if you want to kill me, then kill the slave family."
The Golden Gun King glanced at her and said disdainfully: "Where did this crazy woman come from?" As he spoke, he winked at the soldier.
The soldier waved his knife and was about to slash at the young woman. The young woman hurriedly shouted: "Sir General, it is not a pity to die for the slave family. Please be kind and generous and let the slave family's children go."
The King of Golden Guns took the baby from the hands of the soldiers and coaxed him with pretense of love. When he saw the baby crying non-stop, his face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "What a mess, we can't get rid of it."
, it will be a disaster in the future." After saying that, he lifted the baby in the air and slammed it to the ground. The crying stopped, but there was a puddle of meat on the ground.
After seeing the young woman, she almost fainted several times. She slowly crawled towards the pile of bloody "baggage". She was heartbroken and sometimes laughed and sometimes cried. People around her thought she had gone crazy, so they gradually stopped killing her.
In his heart, the King of Golden Gun drove his horse forward. At this time, the young woman suddenly opened her eyes wide, rushed behind his horse, tightly held the horse's tail, and kept shouting: "What happened to you?"
Damn you, even if I risk my life, I will kill you to avenge my son."
The soldiers pursued them with swords, and the King of Golden Guns waved his hands to them, meaning that you don't have to worry about it, leave her to me, so he kicked the horse's belly with all his strength and rushed forward quickly, but the poor young woman was dragged along like this.
Tens of meters away, he finally hit a rock...
The tragic scenes, one after another, can be said to make those who see it sad and those who hear it shed tears. The two troops of Sun Chaozong and the King of the Golden Gun continued to slaughter from morning to night. The corpses were piled up on the streets, and there were hundreds of thousands of people.
Changqing City was almost looted in one day
After a whole day of looting, the people who were lucky enough to survive suppressed the pain of losing their loved ones while burying the bodies overnight. There was really no place to dispose of them, so they had to burn them on the spot. They thought the situation would calm down, but they didn't know that one day later,
The King of the Golden Gun came again with his troops. This time, under the pretext of asking about Shao Yan's whereabouts, he first gathered all the remaining residents together, and then asked them one by one. However, no one was willing to tell the whereabouts of Donglin's troops.
The King of the Golden Gun became angry and killed several people in order to frighten everyone, but in the end it was all in vain. In desperation, he started killing everyone crazily...
After two days of massacre, there were very few people left in the city. The once bustling streets were now scorching cold, and one could only vaguely smell the bloody murderous aura and the lingering resentment.
Shao Yan naturally did not expect that such a tragedy would happen in Changqing City after he left like this. At the same time that Sun and Jin entered Changqing City, he, Mu Ying and the four masters also rushed to Luojing, the capital of Donglin.
Luojing, which has become an enemy war zone, seems to have maintained its original appearance. However, most of the people inside and outside the city have changed into Chu costumes. Many pedestrians in the streets and alleys have braids. Shao Yan knows that they are forced by the situation.
Come on, I remember that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army entered the Central Plains. In order to make the Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians obey their rule, they once forcibly shaved their heads. For this reason, many people were killed.
A group of people were walking on the street. Mu Ying looked at the people passing by and felt disgust in her heart, especially the braid, which made her shake her head and sigh. Shao Yan knew what she was thinking, and then smiled slightly and said
: "As an emperor and as a courtier, why should Miss Mu be so angry?"
Mu Ying glanced at the people, and then said indifferently: "Emperor, oh, Master, Luojing is originally our Donglin country, why do you want our people to wear clothes from other countries and change them to theirs?"
Dressing up? It’s really unreasonable.”
Seeing that when this girl was angry, her eyebrows stood straight up and her eye circles turned red. This was a bit similar to her sister Xiang Hongyu. She was indeed born from the same mother's womb. Shao Yan smiled secretly, but he was afraid that she would disturb the surrounding area.
Whistle secretly, he quickly made a sighing gesture to her, and said in a low voice: "Although what I said is true, after all, this place has been occupied by these bastards. They..."
"Sir, you talk dirty," Mu Ying interrupted with a smile.
Shao Yan's face was a little confused, hey, what the hell, I was born with this kind of virtue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change in this life
Seeing the ashamed look on his face, Mu Ying couldn't help but smile: "Young master, don't be nervous, the daughter of the people is just talking casually."
Shao Yan smiled and nodded, and said casually: "In order not to expose our identities, from now on you will call me Young Master, and I will call you Mu Ying. What do you think?"
Mu Ying was very happy. Being able to have such close contact with Shao Yan was what she had always dreamed of. The two exchanged casual greetings for a few words, then walked straight along the street without saying anything more.
The bustling streets were packed with people, and the patrolling soldiers came one after another. Before coming here, Shao Yan learned from Chen Xiaoer that Jin Dingguo would set the execution site at the Chengtian Gate outside the palace, so
They marched all the way to the palace. Not far from the palace, they saw more pedestrians on the street over there. However, both sides of the road were lined with Chu soldiers.
Put martial law on the entire street without disturbing the pedestrians on the road
Others didn't know Jin Dingguo's intentions, but Shao Yan knew it very well. The reason why Fatty Jin left such a hole was just to lure him into the city, and then catch a turtle in a jar.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way -"
Following a few harsh shouts, a Chu army cavalry of more than a hundred people sprang out from one end of the street. The people retreated to both sides to make way for them to pass. The leader of the team, who was riding on horseback,
It was none other than Jin Dingguo, the marshal of Liang Jun. Next to him was an old general with a yellowish complexion and a slender beard. Shao Yan saw that he was wearing golden armor with a full moon sword hanging on his waist.
He looked like a powerful master. He boldly guessed that this person must be Qin Ling, the general of the Chu army. Compared with Shao Yan's imagination, the Qin Ling in front of him was more heroic and kind-hearted, and did not look like an evil person at all.
Following the cavalry were two carriages. The leader of the carriage was the current Queen Mother Guo, followed by Dongfang Yi, Deng Bingtang, six ministers and some ministers. There were many infantrymen escorting the carriages. Whoever
They couldn't get close. Behind the infantry were many palace maids, concubines, eunuchs and other servants. Because the carriage moved too fast, some palace ladies couldn't keep up. The infantry walked over, picked up whips and whipped them. The palace ladies
They had no choice but to run forward crying.
Shao Yan gritted his teeth and wanted to rush over and slap those soldiers who were pretending to be powerful. The team passed through the last street and then stopped at the city gate. Empress Dowager Guo and others were "invited" to the city tower. Jin Dingguo, Qinling
He and the generals all stood at the edge of the city tower.
Although Queen Mother Guo has a few scars on her face, she still retains her grace and elegance. Her hair is slightly messy, but she is still in high spirits. Although her clothes are scratched in many places, she still does not forget to smile and wave at the people below.
Waving his hands, the people in the city didn't know that this was Jin Dingguo's conspiracy. They only knew that the Queen Mother and the ministers would be executed in a short time, so they couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and for a while, there were cries in the streets and alleys.
Shao Yan was very excited when he saw this scene, and then he knelt down in the crowd. Mu Ying, and the four masters fell to the ground one after another. In this way, Jin Dingguo wanted to find Shao Yan in the crowd, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Queen Mother Guo saw Jin Dingguo patrolling the city with a stern look, and couldn't help but sneered: "General Jin, don't waste your efforts. As the king of a country, my son is responsible for the great cause of restoring the country, so how can he come here?"
When Jin Dingguo saw that his conspiracy had been discovered by her, he simply took off his disguise and said: "The Queen Mother, it is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Your country has been defeated, why do you put your hopes on a king who has subjugated the country?"
"Bastard, what qualifications do you have to talk to the empress like this?" Before Queen Mother Guo could speak, Zhao Shun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Lu Hengshan, the minister of the Ministry of War, cursed at Jin Dingguo. The two of them were arguing about
