If the Lingzhou garrison showed any signs of weakness, Dangxiang's army would rush forward and use the power of galloping horses to shoot arrows at the top of the city. At the same time, the elite of the state army would be sent to board the city among the civilians. The captain who was guarding the city had no choice but to throw down all the wood arrows and arrows. Before long, the bodies of thousands of Han soldiers and civilians accumulated under the city, and the blood stained the base of the walls of Lingzhou City red. The civilian men who acted as human shields greatly reduced the casualties of the party's army.
Chu Kaiwen, the captain of the Tenth Army, whose eyes were about to burst, turned around and shouted to Qian Qingzhi: "Lieutenant, let me go down and kill them. We must rescue these Han people!" "As soon as the city gate opens, you How do you know that the Dangxiang army will not take advantage of the situation to seize the city? Furthermore, there are no less than 20,000 Xiang soldiers and civilians escorting the grain and grass this time. The Dangxiang people drove thousands of people to kill at once, luring our army to rush out and waste our strength. How can you do this like you? You didn't fall into the Tuoba family's trap. There are hundreds of thousands of shady households hiding in the city. Where can you put them if you show off your bravery for a moment?" "But" Chu Kaiwen's face turned red, "His grandma's land is like a bird war! "
Seeing that it was getting dark, the party members hacked to death the injured civilians lying on the ground under the city, and drove the rest back. All the Han Xiang soldiers and civilians had their weapons confiscated and rushed back to the original Han army camp. Thousands of tribal cavalry were moved to surround them nearby. Inside the camp, there was a dead silence. Most of the people were shocked by the sudden misfortune. Not one of the six or seven thousand people who were driven to attack the city today returned. If the party members were tortured like this, it would only take four or five days. More than 20,000 living human lives will be consumed completely. Some young and careless people, frightened by the tragic scene during the day, actually squatted on the ground, holding their heads and sobbing softly like women. The cry is contagious, "Dad, you died so unjustly." This is like an old father like Xiang Jun Yang Bao who died under the city wall, "brother", "younger brother," this is like a civilian husband Fu Brothers like Yu never came back after they left. "Son," this is like the old soldier Wei Xiangliang, whose son was shot to death and hacked to death. "I want to go back alive." "My Lord is eighty years old." My old mother has a child who has not yet grown up." This is a civilian husband who covets the reward money from the court and comes out to earn money to support his family. After a while, the Han army camp was filled with cries. The miserable cries were intertwined with the sounds of the Party tribe troops outside barbecuing cattle and sheep, shouting, laughing and cursing.
Yuhou Wanjian's face was as black as a dead man. He even hated why he was not shot to death like Yao Liangbi. Hearing the sound of wailing in his ears, he felt angry and extremely bored. There was a crackling sound. He broke the firewood stick in his hand into two pieces and murmured: "His grandma is a fan of Dangxiang, so grandpa will fight to the death." The surviving officers of the Huanzhou Xiang Army gathered around him, all with headaches and immediately He hit the wooden stick with his hand and said: "If Brother Wan takes the lead, I will fight with them." "Yes, fight." "Let's fight." When the surrounding soldiers heard the words of these officers, they all stopped crying. Turning around and looking over, the blazing firelight reflected the determined faces, and no one raised a voice to object. At this time, the Han people had just experienced the chaotic times with brutal conquests and killings, especially these Kansai men, who still preferred to die rather than surrender. of blood.
"Okay, we are all bloody men," Wan Jian slowly looked at the Xiang troops around him and said in a deep voice: "Instead of wasting this life under Lingzhou City, it is better to seek justice from the Dangxiang people. Do it!" He said After a pause, he said: "Make fire and make food, and I will die a full man." Everyone agreed. The Xiang army and the civilians were originally organized. After Yao Liangbi, the training envoy of the Huanzhou regiment, was killed, Yuhou Wanjian was already the tallest among the Han people. Officer, he made up his mind, and all the officers went back to encourage. The blood of the companions who died tragically at the gate of Lingzhou City during the day was still wet. The soldiers and civilians in Xiang thought that there was no way out for them to survive, so they were determined to kill them all. Because Dangxiang's army had taken away all the weapons in the Han army's camp, the people used fire to scorch the wooden sticks, and then sharpened them with stones. There were more wooden sticks that were not available at hand, so they used the sticks in the camp. Firewood was used to make torches, and after a full meal, everyone rushed out and rushed into the camp of the party members to set fire to it. His grandmother's had no weapons, so the torch was just right to deal with this group of jackals.
At this moment, a banquet was being held in the Chinese army's tent of the Dingnan Army Jiedu Envoy. Li Jiqian defeated the Baiyu Army camp, and today he urged the Han army to attack the city as a vanguard, thus avoiding heavy casualties for the party members. "After all, they are the descendants of the Tuoba family. They will not surrender until they are beaten. These Han people usually have their nostrils turned upward. Today, they finally know how powerful the Dangxiang people are." Yeli Renrong came to Li Jiqian with a large glass of wine and put it in front of him. The wine is drained.
Li Jifeng looked at the tribal chiefs with a gloomy face as they surrounded Li Jiqian and fawned over him. He was secretly angry. He didn't know that the leader of the Dingnan Army, Jieduwu, who was sitting at the top, was the head of the Tuoba family. During the day, Li Jiqian made an unreasonable decision and killed Yao Liangbi, the training envoy of the Huanzhou regiment, and then drove the Han army to attack the city. Although Li Jifeng sent people to stop him, Li Jiqian himself led the iron kite and more than 3,000 trusted tribe cavalry and ignored them. Thinking that he was the supporter of the Tuoba family, she didn't want to break up with him and let Li Keshun and Li Kexian's old dogs see the joke, so she had to give up. Although?Li Jiqian must have been displeased by the imperial court for doing such a cruel and inhumane thing. He would never be able to hold the post of military governor again. However, in the eyes of the imperial court, he became a cruel and murderous person, but he was implicated by him. Well, Cao Han is known as the most powerful general of the Forbidden Army because he massacred Jinling and could not be a military governor.
At this moment, anger arose in his heart, and Li Jifeng couldn't hold it back any longer, so he scolded Li Jiqian with a sullen face: "Jiqian, you are good at making decisions. If the court blames you, even your brother will not be able to protect you." Li Jiqian acted as if nothing had happened. , while giving Yeli Renrong a glass of wine in return, he used a knife to cut off a piece of roasted and fragrant beef, put it in his mouth, chewed it loudly, and swallowed it. Fang said: "There are many Han people in the Central Plains, and thousands of them were killed and injured. What does it matter if it's tens of thousands? Besides, I don't think the imperial court cares about the lives of these Xiang soldiers and civilians. As long as your brother seizes Lingzhou, it will be too late for the government to appoint you as an official." "Yes, nephew who has been moved to another country. This sentence is reasonable and responsible, just like the descendants of our Tuoba family!" Li Kexian next to him said loudly, without looking at Li Jifeng, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it, which made Li Jifeng get angry. He said nothing.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shouting from behind. When all the nobles didn't understand the reason, Li Jiqian stood up and shouted loudly: "What's going on?" An iron kite staggered into the tent and knelt down. He said on the ground: "No, the Han army has mutinied!" "The weapons of the Han army have been confiscated, and there are tens of thousands of cavalry guards around. How can they mutiny? If someone makes trouble, don't you know how to kill them?" Li Jiqian His face was ashen. "Kill, your hands will be numb after killing, but you can't stop them! There are too many Han people." Mi Qinyuan said with lingering fear.
The Han army set fire to their camp, and countless soldiers and civilians armed with sharp wooden sticks and torches poured out like floods from a broken embankment. The party members of the cavalry who were on strict guard next to them immediately fired arrows to prevent the Han people from attacking other camps. More The cavalry mounted their horses and held swords, rushing into the crowd and killing indiscriminately. Unexpectedly, the Han soldiers were like crazy demons. The Han people, who were as cowardly as sheep during the day, actually used their chests and bodies to block the oncoming cavalry. They were not afraid of the deadly arrows or the cavalry's scimitars. As long as the cavalry rushed into a densely populated area of ??Han people and lost speed, they would be pulled off their horses and beaten to death. More people had only one thought in their hearts, even if it meant death. , but also to make these devil-like party members suffer some hardships. Twenty thousand people held torches and rushed out to form an unstoppable force, shouting while charging. They quickly rushed through the small open space between the Han army's camp and the Party's army's camp. They threw torches at the Party's camp and baggage. The place they passed was filled with blazing flames, and the firelight shone in the sky. The faces of the soldiers and civilians looked a little distorted because they fought to the death. Han people who fell under the swords and guns of the party members were everywhere with blood splattering, but more Han people used the swords they grabbed, some used wooden sticks, and some even Using fists and teeth, he desperately tried to vent his vengeful rage on the party members before dying. The large camp of tens of thousands of Dangxiang tribesmen around the Han camp was almost out of control. Countless people attacked and killed each other in the blazing fire. Everyone was red-eyed. Afterwards, as long as the Dangxiang cavalry saw someone on foot, they would not tell whether they were walking or not. The Han people still couldn't find any party members on horseback, so they just went over and stabbed them.
"What are they shouting?" Li Jiqian put on his helmet, held the sword in his left hand, and grabbed the saddle with his right hand. He turned over on the saddle. He disliked the Han people very much, so even the chants of the Han army with a Shaanxi accent could not be heard. not sure. Mi Qinyuan's face changed slightly and he replied: "They are all shouting 'Fight!'" "Drive!" Li Jiqian's face darkened, he clamped the horse's belly hard, and took more than 300 iron kites straight to the Han army's mutinous camp. To go and put down the rebellion, it must be like thunder. Only by killing without mercy can these untouchables know that the majesty of the Xianbei Tuoba clan is inviolable.
In Lingzhou City, Xingu convened the generals to discuss how to deal with Dangxiang's army driving the people to attack the city. Qian Qingzhi, the captain in charge of the east city tower, rushed in and said loudly: "General, there is a chaos in the Dangxiang people's camp. There are torches everywhere and many tents are lit up." The generals were very surprised and came to the east city tower one after another. Looking outside, I saw countless torches swaying and running behind the continuous camp of the party members not far away, and there were faint sounds of countless shouts and killings, but only one sentence could be vaguely heard by everyone. "Fight". Under the attack and suppression of countless iron cavalry in the darkness, the number of dancing torches has become less and less, but the speed of spread and expansion has not slowed down at all. In a short time, many tents and baggage have been ignited by torches and burned to pieces. The sound made half of the sky burn red.
Xingu said in a deep voice: "There is a change in the Dangxiang camp. I will personally lead three thousand cavalry troops to attack its rear formation. If any mutinous Han troops are escorted over, Qian Qingzhi will open the city gate and bring the civilians into Wengcheng. After screening, Only then are they allowed to be put into the inner city." He immediately ordered a few captains to gather the sergeants, "General, my lord has strictly ordered to defend Lingzhou to the death. This is Tuoba's plan to lure the enemy. Don't let it go lightly." See Xingu do it After making the decision, Qian Qingzhi objected loudly, feeling ashamed in his heart. During the day, the party members drove the Han people to consume the defenders' arrows.??, Qian Qingzhi hated the sinister nature of his generation Di Yi, and he also had a feeling of repulsion towards Xingu, a Khitan who commanded him. Now he actually committed danger himself in order to support the Han army. Qian Qingzhi couldn't help but admire him secretly.
"My decision has been made." Xingu said in a deep voice, "If the lord blames me in the future, I will be responsible for it. If I die in the battle, the school captain Qian Qingzhi will be in charge of Lingzhou and I will not go to war again." Before he finished speaking, Then he strode down the city tower. More than 3,000 hussars who moved upon hearing the sound had already gathered inside the east gate. As soon as the city gate opened, they quickly passed through the urn between the two city gates and faced the blazing flames. Flying away from the sky.
