A night passed, the dawn appeared, and the dark and depressing night was finally replaced by the faint and refreshing dawn.

In the ruins of Jinan, there are still remaining flames burning in the ruins of broken walls and ruins. Widths of black smoke emerge from the ruins everywhere and sway away.

Although the streets were covered with blood and dirt were cleaned overnight, the smell of blood was still pungent. From time to time, the residual limbs and internal organs of the human body that had not been removed in time can be seen. This ancient city, which had just passed the catastrophe of blood and fire, is full of a bleak and sad atmosphere.

At this time, the streets of Jinan were small and empty. It turned out that in Jinan, all the soldiers and civilians were gathering in the square to watch the Tang army execute the Qing army's Yangwu General Jun Yue Tuo.

The Tang army general E Bilun focused and careful on a piece of bluestone. After repeated washing and grinding, he pulled out two hairs and placed them horizontally on the surface of the knife. With a slap, his hair broke down in response.

After Ebilun polished the knife, Yue Tuo, who was covered in blood and had messy hair and beards, was wearing heavy shackles and had an iron chain tied around his neck. He was scolded by a group of soldiers and led to the center of the square like a dog.

Immediately, a soldier behind him kicked him hard, and Yue Tuo thumped and fell to the ground.

Yue Tuo, who had his neck untied iron chains, knelt like a puppet in the middle of the square.

All the military and civilians who were watching were in an unplanned circle, surrounding the entire square, silently staring at the center of Yue Tuo.

On a high platform outside the square, Li Xiao, who was fully armored and armored, sat upright on a tiger-headed chair, quietly watching Yue Tuo, surrounded by a large number of Jinan military and civilians, with a very serious expression.

E Bilun walked slowly towards Yue Tuo with a sharp steel knife in his hand, but the expression on his face was very struggling and painful.

He got up to Yue Tuo, turned slowly, and looked at Li Xiao sitting upright on the platform.

Li Xiao nodded gently at him.

E Bilun turned around and said to Yue Tuo in a choked voice: "Cousin, what else do you have to say to me?"

Yue Tuo slowly raised his head and looked at Ebilun in front of him. A slight smile appeared on his face covered in solidified blood.

"Ebilun, I have nothing to say. I have said everything I should say to Li Xiao. I just hope that you, Ebilun, can make a career in the Tang army. Perhaps, you can only revitalize my Aixin Gioro family in the future, you will be the only one who will revitalize my Aixin Gioro family."

E Bilun sobbed in a low voice, his expression on his face was very complicated.

After saying this, Yue Tuo sighed lightly, then lowered his head slowly: "Do it, E Bilun, I can be killed without being cut alive and die under your knife. Yue Tuo is already content."

Ebilun's mouth trembled, his face trembled, and tears flashed in his eyes. He murmured: "Cousin, don't worry, my knife passed quickly and suddenly. I'll get on the road later. No matter what I hear or see, don't look back and walk with peace of mind."

When Yue Tuo heard Ebilun’s crying words, he also choked up in his reply: “Good brother, my cousin knows your wishes. Don’t say anything, just do it.”

With tears in his eyes, E Bilun pulled Yue Tuo's braid from the back of his neck, and gently lowered Yue Tuo's head to clearly reveal the broken head pattern on his neck.

There is a broken head pattern around everyone's neck that surrounds the entire neck. It is said that cutting off the broken head pattern can ensure that the cut head is smooth and unobstructed. Cutting the broken head pattern to be cut is a basic skill for every executioner.

"ah!"

E Bilun shouted loudly, raised the ghost-headed sword in his hand high, and then slashed it violently.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound of cutting off the neck bone, Yue Tuo's head separated accurately from the broken head pattern, and with a gushing blood arrow, it drew a short arc in the air and then rolled to the ground.

Then, his headless corpse, whose cross-section of the neck was as smooth as a mirror, fell softly.

Seeing this bloody and cruel scene, many people watching were so scared that their faces changed drastically. Many people subconsciously covered their faces and did not dare to watch them.

Li Xiao from the tiger-headed chair watched the whole process of Yue Tuo being beheaded without blinking, without any expression on his face.

"Cousin!"

E Bilun threw his knife to the ground, staggered to Yue Tuo's head, held his head into his arms, and burst into tears.

There was silence throughout the square.

"I passed on the order of this Lord to collect a coffin for Yue Tuo, and then buried it in the mass grave outside the city." Li Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "After all, this person is my brother-in-law and a benefactor who saved Ebilun's life. There is no need to hang his head on the city wall like those dead Qing soldiers."

"Yes, I'm following the order."

After the execution of the Qing army commander Yue Tuo, Li Xiao immediately ordered to take separate actions as planned yesterday.

Among them, the 150,000 homeless people in Jinan City were led by the Supervisory and the Tang army divided the troops and took them all to Dengzhou. After the unified registration and drawing lots in Dengzhou, they were sent to Taiwan, Hokkien, Sakhalin and other places respectively.

In Jinan City, only the generals of the Jiaying Bing in Xingzhong Town of the Tang Army were stationed, and the Shandong inspector Song Xuezhu, Jinan Prefect Gou Haoshan and others led the militia to cooperate in defense.

Li Xiao himself personally led the remaining Tang army troops and together with Wu Sangui's troops, Liaodong troops, the troops went out of the south gate and attacked the Qing army Abatai troops who were looting and burning in Yanzhou.

The reason why we attacked Abatai's tribe first was the plan formulated by Li Xiao, Chen Zilong, Jiang Yueguang and others after careful planning.

Because, when the Qing army in the middle was already destroyed, the Abatai tribe located in Yanzhou was farthest away from the other Qing troops. In addition, in Yanzhou, there were the soldiers and horses of the Bing camp in Xingzhong Town of the Tang army, as well as the Zu Dabi tribe who entered the aid, and the coalition forces of Li Xiao and Wu Sangui who were heading south from Jinan City, just in time for the Abatai tribe to attack the Abatai tribe, thus defeating the Abatai tribe in one fell swoop.

Under the brilliant sunshine, the Tang army, with iron flowing flowing southward.

However, Li Xiao didn't know that when he led the entire army to move south from Jinan City, some of the Qing army defeated soldiers who escaped from Jinan City yesterday had already rushed to Abatai's Qing army camp after running overnight.

In a fire-fire golden cowhide tent, Abatai urgently met the representative of the Qing army who fled.

"Master Beile, our army is over! After the Jinan garrison Liu Zeqing surrendered, our army's 40,000 troops immediately entered the city and occupied Jinan City. I thought that this Jinan City had become the fat in our mouths, and we could not have any twists and turns when our army swallowed it in one bite. However, I didn't expect that the damn Li Xiao led his Tang army to Jinan overnight. When our army was caught off guard, it broke out on three sides.

The attack into the city. Because our army was not prepared, we had to respond hastily and responded to each other. In the end, we were outnumbered and surrounded by the Tang army. Beizi Nikan and the general Jun Yuetuo both died at the hands of the Tang army. Our 40,000 army was finally destroyed! Only when we were lucky enough to escape while the Tang army had not yet captured the South Gate, we finally arrived at the Beile Master. We hope that Beile Master would avenge us!"

The representative of the defeated soldiers finished his speech urgently, and then he hid his head on the ground and burst into tears.

"You, what did you say?!"

After hearing the representative of the defeated soldiers who knelt on the ground and cried, Abatai jumped up from the official hat and chair, and the shock on his face was indescribable.

What a guy, the 40,000 army was completely wiped out by Li Xiao’s Tang army overnight. Even Nikan and Yue Tuo had already died of the Tang army. This was simply a nightmare and terrible news!

Abatai's face was pale. He paced back and forth in the camp for a few steps, and then sat down dejectedly.

He waved his hand in disgust, and the defeated soldiers hurriedly left the tent.

On this summer morning, Abatai felt a trace of bone-bending chill that firmly enveloped his heart.

Now the main force of the 40,000 Qing army in the middle has been destroyed. So, as the guardian force of the southern wing, can you still stay in Yanzhou?

Abatai, who had been through a long battle, quickly realized that after the Tang army wiped out the main force of the Qing army in Jinan City, they would inevitably attack themselves on the south wing and Du Du in the north wing, thereby eliminating themselves and Du Du respectively.

What's even more terrifying is that since he is farthest from Dorgon's army in Wuding Prefecture and is the most helpless, the Tang army is very likely to first attack on him and then attack Du Du in the north after he has dealt with him.

In this way, he has become the first target to be eliminated by the Tang army.

Thinking of this, Abatai's heart kept trembling.

He immediately subconsciously thought about how humiliating and cruel ways this guy with a beast-like heart torture himself terrifyingly and pervertedly after he was captured by Li Xiao in North Korea. Now, he still makes Abatai scared.

what to do?

Should we still sit in this Yanzhou area and wait for death?

After Abataili thought about it, he quickly made a decision.

"I passed the order of this general, and the entire army quickly gathered and returned to Dezhou immediately, and then retreated from Dezhou to Leling, so as not to be intercepted by the Tang army on both sides of the land in Yanzhou." Abatai ordered coldly.

"Yeah!... Master Beile, then, what should I do about the large amount of property and people I captured?"

"What else can I do? Let go of the people, pick some precious gold and silver, and throw away the rest. Damn it, I'll lose my life, and I still have to do these things outside!"

Seeing his subordinates looking unbearable, Abatai couldn't help but curse and swear.

"Yeah! I understand!"

After his subordinates rushed out of the tent, Abatai jumped up and threw the teacup on the table into powder with a bang.

After the order was issued, the Qing army immediately began to act.

A large number of captured people were pushed and scolded and drove out of the Qing army camp. The frightened people could not react for a while when they saw that the Qing army actually let themselves escape.

What's going on?

Could it be that the sheep have entered the tiger's mouth and there is still a reason for being let go?

However, when they saw that the Qing army was urgently packing their luggage and loading their goods, they also figured it out that the Qing army must have urgently withdrawn, so they quickly let themselves go.

Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If the people encountered a general amnesty, someone shouted and immediately fled.

At this time, when they saw the Qing army camp, all the people were let go. Lu Huan, the battalion commander of the Bing Battalion in Xingzhong Town, Tang Army, at the top of Yanzhou, Zu Dabi, deputy general of the Liaodong Forward Battalion, and Ni Cheng, the prefect of Yanzhou, were all shocked.

Lu Huan was originally the commander of the Bingnan Camp of the Tang Army. Because he made great contributions in the defense of Changhua City, Taiwan and the battle to conquer Chicing City in Tainan, he was promoted to the commander of the Bing of the Bing in Xingzhong Town by Li Xiao, and was transferred from Taiwan to Shandong.

Some time ago, in order to prevent the Qing army from attacking, according to Li Xiao's arrangement, his troops from Bing Camp in Xingzhong Town were transferred from Dengzhou to Iron City, Shan County to garrison to replace the troops who conquered Xiying and guard the most important steel city of the Tang army.

After Zu Dabi's troops entered Yanzhou, Lu Huan received a message from Li Xiao. After leaving the general Bing camp to garrison Iron City, he led the rest of the troops of Bing camp to support Yanzhou in the north.

Because the Qing army was powerful and in order to prevent mistakes, Lu Huan, Zu Dabi and others did not go out to fight the Qing army in field battles, but instead worked together to guard Yanzhou City, an important town in southern Lu to prevent the movement.

Of course, the consequence of this was that all parts of Yanzhou were brutally plundered by the Qing army, and a large number of people, animals, wealth and goods fell into the hands of the Qing army.

When Lu Huanzu Dabi and others saw the Qing army looting around Yanzhou, they were extremely annoyed, but they could do nothing.

After all, the Qing army was powerful, and it was difficult to have a chance of winning if it wanted to fight against the Qing army with its own troops alone. Only by defending Yanzhou and waiting for reinforcements to arrive was the only correct way to do so.

"Fuck! What's the name of these Tartars? Why did they suddenly release the people? Could it be that the sun came out from the west?" Zu Dabi held up the Qianli Miles Miles and looked carefully for a while, his face full of incredible doubts.

"Since the Qing army released the people, would it be necessary to withdraw troops urgently?" Yanzhou Prefect Ni Cheng added a low voice next to it.

Lu Huan, the battalion commander of the Bing Battalion in Xingzhong Town of Tang Army, frowned and looked at the people fleeing outside the city. After pondering for a long time, he murmured: "Is it possible that the Qing army outside the city that was defeated, and the Qing army outside the city wanted to withdraw so quickly?"

While the three of them were discussing, the Qing army outside the city had already been packed up. With the intermittent sound of the swan roar, all the Qing army divided into queues and hurriedly retreated westward.

"Captain Lu, the enemy soldiers have retreated. Are we going to go out of the city to pursue?" Zu Dabi shouted anxiously.

After hearing Zu Dabi's words, Lu Huan was also moved, but after a moment of change, he said immediately: "General Zu, although the Qing army retreated urgently, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no backup plan, but our army cannot pursue it recklessly. Let's go to the tent that he left behind, check carefully, and transport the wealth, money and grain left by the Qing army back to the city before making plans."

Zu Dabi pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, just like Battalion Commander Lu suggested, go and explore the Qing army camp first. After all, our number of soldiers is limited. If the Qing army gets ambushed and loses this important place in Yanzhou, the superiors blame it, it is not a joke."

After the two of them had decided to discuss and saw that the Qing army had retreated, they immediately selected a group of cavalry, left the east gate of Yanzhou, and rushed to the Qing army camp.

The two led their troops to the Qing army camp, but they saw that the camp was empty and all the Qing army had retreated.

After careful investigation, the two of them were surprised to find that the Qing army abandoned a large amount of money and food in the camp and scattered it all over the land.
