Pangang is located on the Yellow River embankment. There is a series of warehouses and hotels on the flat top, overlooking the road from Kaifeng to Guide. The warehouses and hotels have now been flattened, leaving only broken walls and fences. The Mongols used
This ruins were used to house the people they could not kill for the time being, and they would send some out from time to time to ride horses and horses for the Mongolian army.
Not long ago, in one of the fences, a Mongolian guard beat many people to death with iron whips, which suddenly caused an outburst among the people. I don’t know who started it, picked up a small half of a brick, and smashed it over, and immediately killed that person.
The Mongols were defeated. Then there were constant shouts and shouts of killing. Some of the people present jumped on them and beat them; some grabbed their weapons and dragged other Mongolians into the crowd and chopped them up; some climbed over the fence and tried to escape.
At this time, there was no need for an order to tow mines, as the Mongolian Centuries had already galloped to suppress them.
As the sound of bow strings played continuously, the Mongolian knights rode their horses forward and shot arrows from their bows. Almost every one of them was a sharpshooter, and soon the people who were close to the fence were covered with arrows, as if their bodies were covered with arrows.
Suddenly a large reed grew.
The pungent smell of blood immediately filled the air, and screams and cries came from the crowd. Women and children who saw their relatives shot to death began to wail.
The Mongols became more ferocious after smelling the smell of blood. They shouted and beat their horses and rushed towards them. Among the prisoners, there was an old soldier who was waving his hands and shouting to signal his companions in a certain direction to avoid arrows. However, he was caught by the noose thrown by the Mongols.
Hit in the neck.
The Mongolian man holding the lasso raised his arms and whistled continuously, causing the horse to stand upright. The huge pulling force was transmitted from the lasso to the human body, and in an instant the old soldier was lifted up like a cloud and flew six or seven feet away.
His body hit the ground heavily and was trampled intensively by iron hooves, and he was never seen again.
How to suppress captives is even better for the Mongols than fighting. In the eyes of the Mongols, captives are no different from cattle and sheep grazing daily. When to whip them, when to kill them, when to allow them to eat grass, and when to eat them.
The Mongols have been trained since childhood to become proficient in cutting their flesh.
Even in a noisy environment, they keenly noticed the person who looked like the leader and dealt with him immediately. Just like when suppressing the scattered sheep, they directly shot to death the lone wolf that disturbed the sheep.
Following the death of the old pawn, the prisoners who had gathered and tried to break into the fence immediately went into chaos. After all, most of them were ordinary people. Their brief burst of courage out of fear and resentment was already remarkable, but it was completely
There is no resilience at all.
After the Mongols shot hundreds of people to death through the fence, the remaining people ran back and forth in panic in the fence. Every time they were far away from one fence where the Mongolian cavalry was approaching, they would approach the other fence. When the Mongols surrounded them and continued to shoot arrows,
They left the fence again and ran back to their original place.
In less than half a moment, everyone lost their physical strength and stood densely in a small area in the middle of the fence. The Mongols no longer advanced, but placed their horses around, as if they were waiting for something.
After about half an hour, a cavalry galloped from a distance and shouted a few words. Then many Mongolian cavalry jumped off their horses, climbed over the fence, and swung their swords from the outside of the crowd, killing people one by one. Occasionally, they killed people one by one.
Several people roared and tried to resist, but were immediately surrounded by many people and chopped into several pieces.
With the dense crowd at the center, blood flowed out layer by layer. In the depth of winter, the sky dimmed early. There was still daylight when the killing started, but it turned dark in a blink of an eye, but the flow of blood could still be seen.
The blood flowed all the way to the outside of the fence, onto the turbulent land that had been trampled by the war horses, and then flowed down, dyeing the land black and purple.
This situation is like being in hell. In another camp more than a hundred steps away, many people watched what happened in front of them. Many people were shaking while watching, and women and children made suppressed screams.
Cry.
"The Tatars are going to kill them all!" A man suddenly squatted down and beat the ground hard.
Someone nearby asked in fear: "What about us? Will they kill us too?"
Another person said with a livid face: "Those are the Tatars! They kill without blinking an eye! Wherever they go, they will kill everyone there!"
As soon as he said this, some people around him started to tremble.
A soft voice came out from the crowd, like a child: "Oh my God, it's dark, they won't come to kill us today..."
The man with an ashen face sneered: "If you don't kill today, you will kill tomorrow. Even if you don't kill tomorrow, we will be asked to carry it, and then we will be tortured to death... Or maybe, we will be asked to fill in the soil and attack the city, and die.
Under the knife and gun of my own family."
"I'm not going!" someone in the crowd shouted.
"Aren't you going?" The person who spoke before continued to sneer. There is no need to answer such stupid words. What happened in the past few days has made most people understand the ferocity of the Mongols. If they don't go, Mongolia will
Not only will they kill you, they will also kill your parents, sleep with your wife, and cut out the heart and liver of your child to feed to the dogs!
Many of the people present had fled from Hebei to Henan during the last Mongolian invasion. They had seen such a scene with their own eyes a few years ago, and they never thought they would see it again now!
As night falls, the wind becomes even colder and a whistling sound can be heard from time to time.
Everyone was silent for a long time, until a Mongolian tenth captain rode over with a torch and shouted several times through the fence.
There was a young man named Yuan in the crowd, who came from a scholarly family in Taiyuan Prefecture, Xijing, and knew a little Tatar language. He said: "The Mongols want us to send ten strong men here to strip the good clothes of the dead and turn them over."
Find their belongings."
Everyone continued to be silent. Some people stood up and took a few steps back to get farther away from the Mongolian. But in the end ten people were selected, led by a young man named Yuan, and went out to work on the fence.
The ten people didn't come back until late at night. When they asked to open the fence, the shepherd slaves called Boule who were armed with iron whips were dissatisfied. Everyone took a few whips and crawled in.
Among them, the young man surnamed Yuan kept nodding and bowing to apologize. After Boole mumbled and sat down, he quietly walked into the crowd, found the irritable man with a livid face in the dark, and called out in a low voice.
With: "Lao Cai! Lao Cai!"
In the past few days, the irritable man had been suppressing his inner turmoil and the pain of failure all day and night. It was not until today that he was exhausted to the extreme and barely managed to fall asleep. At this moment, he woke up from his sleep and became even more irritable and raised his hands.
He slapped the young man named Yuan: "Yuan Haowen, what are you arguing about? These are all people who are going to die, why don't you just sleep well!"
His hand was so strong that he hit Yuan Haowen's head back. Yuan Haowen suppressed the buzzing in his ears and hugged his arm: "Lao Cai, your real name is Cai Bal'er, and you are Nan. The fourth general of Dunxing Kou Town, right?"
Cai Bal'er's waving hand suddenly turned to pulling, wrapping his arms around Yuan Haowen's neck and pulling him forward: "How did you know?"
Yuan Haowen gasped, whether it was excitement or fear: "Among the companions who followed me back here, there is a new person... The person who came in said he recognized you."
Cai Bal'er was taken aback, and he straightened up suddenly. Then he followed the action of straightening up with a big slump, and squatted down again: "Where is that person?"
Yuan Haowen took Cai Bal'er and carefully crawled through the crowd. As expected, he saw a few men silently gathering on the side of the camp near the river. Cai Bal'er had a sharp eye and recognized that these men were all soldiers who had served in the prisoner camp. , even the unlucky guy who once served as an officer.
Taking a few steps closer, Cai Bal'er saw the face of a person gathered in the crowd through the dim moonlight. Cai Bal'er turned pale in astonishment: "Judge Liu?!"
For some reason, the Tokyo military judge Liu Ran's cheeks were blood red, but his eyes were extremely bright. He pressed his lips with his fingers and whispered softly: "Time is running out, so I'll keep my story short. The Mongolian army took advantage of the Song Dynasty to kill, and everyone was caught off guard. Embarrassment is a non-war crime. But now, the Mongols have decided to kill all the people here to intimidate our troops who are gathering on the north bank. So everyone has to either fight the Mongols tonight or die tomorrow. Everyone else will I have chosen, Cai Baler, which one did you choose?"
Cai Bal'er didn't hesitate: "I'll fight tonight."
"good."
Liu Ran continued: "How many soldiers are there who dare to die that you can call upon?"
"Ten!" Cai Bal'er paused and then said: "If there is a fuss, everyone will dare to die!"
"I will arrange for people to deliver weapons as soon as possible. Please wait patiently for my order." Liu Ran said this and nodded to Yuan Haowen.
Yuan Haowen immediately crawled along the fence and went to the other side. Not long after, the Mongolian laughing words suddenly came from the other side of the fence. The voice was neither high nor low, which just happened to alert the guarding slaves. Seeing that the slaves were excited Rushing towards the direction of the words, Liu Ran put his coat on his shoulders to cover his figure and walked quickly towards the shadows.
"Judge Liu!"
Cai Bal'er suddenly shouted.
Liu Ran turned around: "What?"
"It's been ten days since the Mongols came. When will His Majesty's army arrive? When will they come to rescue us?"
"Your Majesty's army will arrive sooner or later. What I have to do is to seize every opportunity to contain the Mongols and make them drown in the vast ocean of countless soldiers and civilians on Henan Road. As for you, you eat the food provided by Your Majesty and enjoy His Majesty's food." The salary given is just for killing the enemy."
Liu Ran's words were very straightforward, and this straightforward attitude immediately gave Cai Bal'er a backbone. Cai Bal'er immediately said with emotion: "Judge, don't worry, dying for the country and killing the enemy is exactly what I want."
