Chapter 650
The house was on fire, and black smoke rose into the sky. It could be seen clearly from ten miles away.
There were corpses everywhere on the ground, including men and women. The old man's corpse was hung on the tree. The frozen corpse swayed like a pendulum when the wind blew. His white hair and beard were blown around, and if it weren't for his belly,
Being cut open, you would think the man was just asleep.
When Hei Niu brought people to Shuangqi Town, he saw this scene.
He reached out and picked out the body of a child from the fence. The child was only about three or four years old. His eyes were gouged out, half of his ears were missing, and his little face seemed to have been gnawed by a wolf. One of his cheeks was missing.
There, judging from the broken pieces of meat, it must have been chewed by something like a wolf or a dog. A row of small teeth was exposed inside the hole, and several of the teeth were black, obviously showing cavities.
If in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, children who looked like porcelain dolls were the treasures of the family. But here in Gansu border, the children who were treasured by their families were ruthlessly killed by the Mongols.
As if to insult, everyone was naked, regardless of age or sex.
There seemed to be a fire in his chest, and Hei Niu felt that his chest was almost going to explode. Shuangqi Town was a town far away from Wuwei, and they had been ordered to evacuate long ago. I don’t know if the mayor had shit in his ears, or he couldn’t bear to leave his home.
The karma has actually not been wiped out to this day.
The mayor's home is easy to find. There is a blue brick building in the town and a courtyard with three entrances and three floors. This is his home.
The tile-roofed house has collapsed, and thick smoke is still rising from the beams where the fire has not been extinguished. Among the rubble, the charred body of the mayor is lying in the rubble. His hands are scratching toward the sky, and the expression on his face is extremely ferocious. Two burned
With dark eyes, he looked at the black cow walking into the yard, wondering if he regretted it at this moment.
There were a bunch of human heads placed in the middle of the yard. An old man's head was at the gate, but his body was in the yard. The naked bodies of women were piled up in the yard, and the sunlight filtered through the thick smoke, making them look white.
"Captain! The Mongols have all run away and everyone in the town has been killed. It seems that they were attacked at midnight the day before yesterday. By the time we got the letter, the Mongols should have killed everyone."
Hei Niu walked to the edge of the well and sat down, and saw shadowy figures in the well. It looked like there were more than one!
"Dig a hole and bury all the dead people. If the monstrous Mongols attack the Ili Valley one day, I will repeat what happened here." Hei Niu gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. They were
The infantry set off yesterday when they received the news. They quickly hurried to the place. The Mongols had already killed everyone and disappeared without a trace.
Poor Hei Niu has been on the road for a day, and now he is reduced to the role of the corpse collection team. The fire in his heart is almost bursting out of his chest. But there is no way, his own two legs can't outrun others' four legs no matter what.
"Send people to be on guard around the town, don't let the Mongolians kill you." Hei Niu had an extra thought and saw that the sun was turning to the west. He might have to spend the night here tonight, but don't let the Mongols sneak attack.
.Looked at the sky. Fortunately, today is the 14th and the moon is very round in the sky. The visibility should be very good at night, and the probability of being attacked by a sneak attack is doubled.
In fact, Hei Niu is not worried about being attacked at all. As the main force of the Liao Army's main division, the firearms and artillery are all the most well-equipped. With the Mongolians' little tactical level, they are not afraid of being twice as many as themselves.
.This time he came out with two battalions.
************************************************************************ **********
"Your Highness! The spies in the city reported that two battalions of the Ming Army left the city yesterday afternoon. Looking at the direction, they are definitely going to Shuangqi Town. Our sentries have not returned yet, but calculating the time, the Ming Army should have arrived at Shuangqi Town.
Town. It’s getting dark gradually. If they don’t want to rush on their way in the dark, they can only camp in Shuangqi Town.”
"They marched all night last night. Although the Liao army is powerful, it is not invincible. No wise general would do such a thing if they marched without sleep all night. Tonight, the two battalions of the Ming army will definitely camp.
In Shuangqi Town." Dorgon's tone was very determined.
"The purpose of massacring Shuangqi Town was to lure the Liao army out. Now there is only one Liao army camp left in the city, so it is the time to take action." Geerdan made up his mind, as long as Wuwei City is captured, let alone next spring.
, even by next summer, we may not be able to run out of food.
The army has run out of supplies. If they don't want to starve to death, they have to bite the bullet. They have to rush thousands of miles back to the Ili Valley in ice and snow. Thirty percent of the people will die of freezing and starvation along the way. Geerdan has limited financial resources. If
A sudden loss of 30% would be an absolute disaster for him.
"Yes!" The generals responded, and they all went back to prepare for the raid tonight.
************************************************************************ **********
"Captain! The four gates have been closed, and everyone who left the city today has been arrested. We have already found out that three people are Mongolian spies, who are responsible for snooping out news about us. It is estimated that the Mongols already know the news about the regiment commander leaving the city.
." A staff officer ran into the county government office in Wuwei City and reported to Cao Bianjiao.
"Seal the four gates and the city wall, and no one is allowed to leave the city. Send cavalry out to patrol the city, and shoot anyone they see immediately without asking for instructions. Have you found the secret passage for the Mongolian spies to leave the city?" Cao Bianjiao asked with a gloomy face.
"Two secret passages out of the city have been found. The spies who were interrogated said that these are the only two."
"Don't believe what they say, keep investigating! There is not much truth in the mouths of these bastards. Let all the brothers who are hiding come out, it's time to fight. Get ready for battle. If I'm not wrong, the Mongols will be here tonight
Will attack the city.
His grandma can't hold it this time. We're all damned!" Cao Bianjiao cursed as he looked at the city defense map.
Wuwei City is simply a colander. Today, more than 30 Mongolian spies were caught in one day. You know, Wuwei is not bad, it is just a small town with a population of more than 30,000 people. In such a big place, 30 people were actually hiding.
Multiple spies.
Of course, Cao Bianjiao also used these spies. Yesterday, Hei Niu took not a whole regiment out of Wuwei, but only two battalions. The remaining battalion was all hidden in the barracks and not allowed to leave the room.
