When the large group of troops who broke through the city first fought with the guards who came in the gloomy sky light, and dusty smoke rolled in a corner of Luodu Beiguo,

But I was watching a temporary collective execution at the foot of Beim Mountain in a complicated mood.

As the flags were waving under the drums, several rows of human bodies lying on the ground, rushing forward together, and as the heads rolled down with various expressions were frozen, they were crowded with fan-shaped red snow on the broken neck, which was covered with blood like a spring, and were radiated into the fan-shaped red snow.

My subordinates had reported that during the process of recruiting the enemy and patrolling, they encountered a large number of scattered deserters, obviously from the front line.

After capturing some of them one after another, I decided to hand them over to the friendly troops of Shangqing Palace at the foot of Beim Mountain. As a result, although the head commander Wang Dutong was not in the camp and supervised the battle in front of the formation, the other party's reaction was stronger than I thought, and he almost carried out punishment in front of the army.

It seemed that because I felt that my troops were escorted back to these deserters, which were some kind of friendly forces and were seriously embarrassed, the decision to deal with the deserters was quickly issued.

According to the authorization of the wartime army, there is only one way to deal with these deserters, Mingdian Zhengzheng's punishment was beheaded and made public. As a participant before and after, I was also specially invited as a bystander and witness.

Then, watching some deserters, group after group of them were sent to the execution ground to feel the attitude and determination of the royal chief on the Eastern Front.

However, many of the tortured people held incomplete or bare palms, gestured at their ulcerated and damaged ears and noses, and cried and said that they had been frozen into disability by the ice and snow on the battlefield, and were no longer of great use to the army, and they only wanted to give themselves a way to fend for themselves;

Or give me a happy request to give up, just hope to join a good family in the next life.

I felt a little uncomfortable, and I felt a little distracted.

Although my troops have been prepared for anti-freezing and heating, and there are still compulsory requirements for collecting snow every day to apply the skin and exposed areas of the body surface such as hands, feet, fingers, toes, ears, nose, etc., it is inevitable that various frostbite and frostbite symptoms will appear in various duties, but there are relatively strict access and exit inspections and mutual supervision. Therefore, these symptoms can be discovered in a timely manner and have not become deep symptoms that affect combat effectiveness.

After all, General Dong's power and power are not so easy to overcome. With the continuous cold weather, it is slowly and resolutely weakening and depriving them little by little in various obvious or unscrupulous ways to reduce the combat effectiveness and morale of our army mainly in the southerners.

You know, it’s not long before winter begins, but it’s not the coldest time.

On the other hand, because of the consequences of many of them, it was caused indirectly by my orders, or some related to it.

However, the so-called truth that kindness does not control the army quickly suppressed the remnants of some moral concepts that I came from later generations and were inappropriate.

In fact, even if I give them a special kindness, the heavy snowy and cold tundra behind me will be enough to swallow and eliminate anyone who is unprepared.

Not to mention passing through the two natural barriers of the Huai River and the Yangtze River, which were guarded by heavy troops, and returning to the relatively warm south.

The most likely outcome is to become a new path that is frozen and hard, or to become a group of bandits who are wandering around and constantly lowering the lower limit of human beings.

After returning, I made a decision to leave a small number of cavalry as a front-end observation unit in the camp of Baima Temple, and collectively drove the camp back to Wulao Pass.

Since it is impossible to avoid it, it is better to be cleaned out, not to mention that there are intact gates and complete military camps, which can be used to spend this somewhat difficult winter in a less uncomfortable way.

In the city of Luodu, a general of the Northern Army rode his horse across the streets, passing through the fortifications and barriers that had been temporarily piled up.

In the end, he was recruited to Yujifang and was in front of Zhang Shuye, the deputy left-behind leader who was responsible for the restructuring front.

"set fire?,"

He looked at Zhang Shuye in front of him with some disbelief. His face, which was red due to the intense exercise, suddenly turned blue and white.

His name is Xu Ning, and he is the commander of General Hongwei. He is the commander of the Golden Spear Squad of the Da Nei and the deputy sent to work with Zhang Shuye. He is a temporary partner who is quite close, but it is difficult to accept this fact.

"That's right, it's just setting fire... the Jun Ling of the Grand Marshal's Mansion..."

Zhang Shuye, who was full of fatigue and haggard face, said calmly

"How about you, you think before, I asked you to survey the terrain, and the city yards that were demolished along the line were of great use..."

"Is it just to prevent the fire from spreading..."

"Or, can you temporarily block the enemy soldiers who broke into the city by relying on those barricades just?..."

"The fifty-six squares in the east corner of Beiguo, hundreds of street markets, how many can you block it with all your strength..."

It is hard to imagine that this easy command to burn thousands of people, together with their lives, was said by this tired and vicissitudes of life.

"We need this fire... to form the enemy who entered the city."

"Buy time for the reconstruction of the front in the rear..."

“The wind is right now…”

"It's all up to me."

"If you stay behind, aren't you afraid of the name behind you in the future..."

Xu Ning also wants to make the final effort.

"Even so, we may be able to notify"

"If you cannot defeat the southern thieves..."

"Then neither you nor me nor the soldiers have any future..."

"If you can achieve such a dignified power and a mere reputation behind you, what's the point of..."

He seemed to be speaking to everyone, and to himself.

Subsequently, multiple rapidly rising fire points boiled from the preset position, and then quickly spread into a line and expanded into a large area under the not-so-strong wind.

From Chongdefang outside the city that has been abandoned for a long time to Dunhoufang, from the breeding industry workshop on Beizhong Street, to Xingyifang near Shangdongmen, whether it is a wealthy and prominent house with carved beams and painted buildings, a place for ordinary people with scattered houses, or even displaced people, the sheds built randomly, without warning for a while, they were trapped in the sea of ​​fire without warning.

Many of the people living in it, before they even had time to react and take it out, burst out in the rolling flames, and then burst into a brief wail and screamed, and then they were buried in the sea of ​​fire and turned into coke that could not be distinguished under the collapsed rubble.

More people can just help the elderly and young people in despair like flooded ant holes, and escape from their homes, gathering into torrents of escape on the streets, and then these torrents gather together on the main street.

Under the pressure and drive away from the flames behind them, they trampled on each other's shoes, hats, sweat towels and miscellaneous items that were abandoned all over the floor, as well as corpses that were trampled to death by countless feet after falling down.

Most of the fleeing crowds eventually had to escape from the spreading fire, and fled to the outside of Beiguo and were broken by the enemy.

To a certain extent, Zhang Shuye's goal has been achieved.

Lingbao Gong on Dongjia City looked at the fire in Beiguo from afar, and was also listening to some kind of report.

"Return to the Lord, there are 139 companies in the list,"

"Ninety-three of them have arrived safely in Chengfu Gate..."

"The remaining twenty-six families are still in the process of escorting and transfer..."

"I guess we will arrive one after another in a short time..."

"There are twenty other companies, which are far away, and there is no news yet..."

"Then don't worry about them..."

Lingbao Gong decided their destiny in this way.

"After half an hour, the rest of the people will completely block the city regardless of whether they arrive..."

"Dare to get close to kill without mercy..."

As a thousand-year-old god capital, Luodu, after a long period of accumulation, also follows the so-called basic pattern of traditional capitals that "the north is noble, the south is low, the west is poor, the east is rich"

Therefore, in the city yard of the North City, there are many residences and wealthy houses of nobles and ministers in the court. To a certain extent, these noble owners of the mansions were also part of the upper ruling structure of the Northern Dynasties.

But as long as people are, they have disputes and factions, and they also have differences in closeness and distantness, and their strength and friendship.

Therefore, this time the Southern Army broke into the North City, which was also a potential opportunity for Lingbao Gong to be unexplained. For example, the possibility of people who are not favored by the eyes, have a lot of training, or are not capable enough will be eliminated in life and career.

As a superior, he naturally had his own personal likes and dislikes and interests. Therefore, before he decided to set fire to block the enemy with the flow, he had already secretly set up enough people to handle the retreat and refuge of relevant people.

Of course, the 139 families that were scheduled to arrange escorts and transfers were all related to his confidants, or those who needed to show kindness and show kindness to the court.

Therefore, most of the time and buffers that Beiguo City has been wasting someone's selfishness in protecting his private list when fighting for the sacrifices and efforts of the defenders.
