As the sun was setting, Liang Hu looked up to the sky and looked at the blood-red clouds in the sky, which seemed to be the same as the blood in the city.
The fighting at the top of the city has stopped long ago, but the nightmare of the people in the city has just begun.
According to the rules of the Mongols, any city that is breached after resistance will be slaughtered by the entire city. Although the ones who breached the city at this time were not Mongols at all, Mongolian dogs must also abide by the rules of their masters.
Therefore, Liang Hu could only look at the corpses beside him.
There are corpses whose backs were cut into two pieces by a machete when they were running from the top of the city to the city. There are corpses where horses were repeatedly trampled by horses when they were running from the city to the city gate, and their bones were broken. There were soldiers and officers.
There are common people, men, women, and children.
At the corner of the street, next to where he lay, the corpses were piled up in a heap, like cattle that had been killed after a plague.
Only Liang Hu himself, because he knew that his leg was seriously injured and could not run, so he simply lay down and waited for death. Perhaps he was lying too calmly, so no one noticed. The black sergeant who suddenly rushed into the city didn't pay attention.
He walked out of the alley, and the shirtless Bohai people didn't pay attention to him.
He lay on the cold ground for a long time, his body temperature was dropping, and his breathing was getting weaker. Blood flowed from the highest point of the pile of corpses, covering the layers of people below, and was finally blocked by Liang Hu's legs, so it accumulated into a pool of blood.
It fell into a sticky pile, and only a little changed its direction and flowed into the ditch beside the road.
Liang Hu rolled his eyes and looked in the direction of the blood flow, and saw a woman crawling cautiously at the bottom of the ravine. Covered by the blood, she could still tell that her face was beautiful and her bun was delicately braided.
She must be the wife and concubine of a certain official in the city. She noticed Liang Hu's eyes and showed a pleading look.
Liang Hu immediately looked away. He was still lying on his back, motionless, and then vaguely heard the woman crawling away from the side.
After a while, a black sergeant finally noticed Liang Hu's chest rising and falling weakly. He held the knife in his hand and strode over.
Liang Hu grinned and thought, finally the wait has come.
He closed his eyes and waited for the last moment to come. It took a long time, but there was no further movement.
Liang Hu opened his eyes a little and looked outside. He found that the fierce general who led the army to attack the east gate was standing beside his head at some point, staring down at him.
"This person looks familiar..."
Shi Tianying frowned and thought. He had a few acquaintances in the army near Pingzhou, but this middle-aged pawn with gray hair was not included... Where had he seen it? I must have seen him.
And, not long ago...
"That's right! This is the guy who stabbed the gun through the wall!"
Shi Tian used his fists and palms to strike each other, making a soft snap: "This is a good hand. It doesn't look like the injury is serious... Take it down first, pull out the arrow, and apply some medicine. Those who are willing to surrender can stay, and those who are not willing to surrender can stay."
Just behead him!"
"As you command!"
Two men came up, pulled Liang Hu's legs, looked at his wounds, and even opened the wounds to see what was inside. Liang Hu was very cold and didn't feel any pain. But he still yelled twice and said he would kill him.
Let me, let me die. But his breath was weak, and he seemed to be mumbling to himself even with all his strength.
The two men never heard anything and just carried Liang Hu and walked out of the city.
While swaying, Liang Hu heard Shi Tianying ordering several of his subordinates majestically: "You have all heard the order of the Great Khan just now. If he said that he wanted to slaughter them all, then he should slaughter them all without leaving anything behind. But, ahem, let's fight fiercely.
The troops and horses will also need to be replenished during the day. So if you find those who are available, you might as well sign up for the army... If they don't surrender, it won't be troublesome to kill them, right?"
"The prince is wise!" Several subordinates responded loudly.
Isn't there only one Linhai Commandery Prince Zhang Jing on the other side of Beijing Road? A bitch surrendered to the Mongols, and now he became the Commandery Prince?
Liang Hu continued to murmur and curse. They said something else, but Liang Hu was carried away and could no longer hear.
The actions of several servants were very rough, and he was soon shaken to the point of fainting. When he was about to reach the city gate, he vaguely heard a woman screaming; then he saw that the woman with exquisitely braided hair did not
He put on his clothes, spread out his white legs and ran outside the city gate where the cold wind was howling. Many people inside and outside the city gate began to laugh.
These people are no longer human.
Liang Hu cursed and instantly lost consciousness.
The Mongolian army continued to penetrate deep into the Zhongdu Road, and continuously conquered one grand pass after another. As it gradually approached Zhongdu, the Dinghai Navy fell silent. It seemed that with the heavy snowfall in Liaodong, Shandong was also calm.
At the end of December, two days before New Year's Day, about 300 soldiers rushed to Dongyang City, north of Yidu City.
Dongyang City was originally the garrison of Guo Zhongyuan's troops. With the installation of barracks and various workshops, the training school grounds were expanded, and the high-level military academy where meritorious officers and newly recruited talented and brave men were trained and reorganized in turn was also scheduled here.
.
Because the size of the army is rapidly expanding, grassroots officers who need training are constantly gathering from all over the country.
Some people join the army for a short period of time, so they come here to receive short-term training of five or ten days. The main content they learn is the various regulations and laws required for marching, fighting, stationing, training, and control in the army.
There are also people who have made great achievements or are particularly favored by their superiors, so they have to undergo medium and long-term training for twenty days or even two months.
It is said that this kind of training includes history, military art, arithmetic, geography and many other contents. Some textbooks were compiled by Xuanfu himself. Some of the unique knowledge comes from the teachings of strangers that Xuanfu received in his dreams.
The cronies of the envoy, or the promising people who are favored by the envoy, must not have access to such secrets.
Therefore, whenever an officer is notified that he will come to Dongyang City for long-term training, it often represents a subsequent promotion. Although the result of promotion is that the officer has to leave the original unit, the officers and soldiers are in a rapidly expanding group like Ding Haijun
, most of them are full of confidence in the future, so they also have great expectations for promotion.
Especially those lucky ones who will not be granted new positions after training, but stay with the Xuanfu ambassador as bodyguards, it is obvious that they will rise to the top in one step, and will have a bright future from now on, and will be envied by everyone for a long time.
With this mentality, when those officers or soldiers came to Dongyang City to report for duty, their demeanor when walking on the road was different from that of ordinary warriors. Even when they passed by farmers in the fields, they would hold their chests high and make sure to make themselves majestic.
, worthy of the awe and admiration of those farmers.
However, this opportunity to show off triumphantly did not fall to Guo Zhongyuan's soldiers at all.
This is because the military camp of Guo Zhongyuan's headquarters is in Dongyang City, separated from the military academy by only a wall. The soldiers in his camp walked out of the camp gate and walked a few hundred steps along the lane before entering the military academy. Along the way, except for the craftsmen working in the work sheds,
Not even half of the ordinary people were seen.
Yu Xing and Yu Man'er were the two people who came from the alley.
The two of them stood at the gate of the military academy and joined the 300 soldiers who had come for training. Listening to these people talk about the respect they received along the way, they always felt that they had suffered a big loss and missed a special honor.
And this regret turned into huge surprise and anger the moment he heard about the time limit for training.
"What?"
Yu Xing shouted loudly: "Five days? Are you treating us as new recruits? Isn't this...isn't this nonsense? Isn't this just for fun?"
His cousin Yu Xiaowu was a well-known martyr in the Ding Navy. He had the experience of studying in a military academy, knew many generals in the Ding Navy, and even talked to Guo Ning, the Xuanfu envoy. These backgrounds stacked up
, inevitably made him a little arrogant. Standing in front of the military camp, no one else said anything, but he asked angrily.
Yu Xing's irritable temper probably couldn't be changed. So he really didn't notice that on a watchtower dozens of steps away from these students, Guo Ning was holding Lingan and looking down at a group of soldiers.
Yu Xing's shout was heard, and Guo Ning immediately sneered.
"I'm afraid this kid Yu Xing won't be able to take on important responsibilities. Why did you pick him in?"
