Steel Dynasty - Chapter 772
[Chapter 771 Tooth for Tooth]
Tooth As dusk fell, the sounds of fighting in Songzhou City began to fall silent.
Luo Quan, Lu Fei and Qi Guangyi led the remaining troops outside the city into Songzhou City, seeing the bodies of barbarian soldiers lying on the ground that caught their eyes along the way.
Some of these corpses had bullet holes, and some had stab wounds from bayonets. The streets of Songzhou City were dyed red with blood, and the strong smell of blood hit your nostrils.
Luo Quan and the other three had no mercy for these barbarian soldiers, because after entering the city, in addition to the corpses of the barbarian soldiers, they also saw heads that looked like hills in the city.
These heads came from the people in Songzhou City and the soldiers who guarded Songzhou. Their eyes were opened and they were facing Lu Fei and the others, as if they were telling them about the suffering they had suffered.
After passing through such a small hillock made of piled heads, they saw another one, and the faces of the three of them became increasingly gloomy.
“I’m afraid none of the 50,000 people and 30,000 soldiers in Songzhou City will be spared.”
Qi Guangyi’s throat was a little choked, and he said this sentence almost word for word.
Luo Quan looked determined. He had experienced barbarian massacres more than once. For the barbarians, this was an effective strategy to intimidate the opponent. It was by using this method that they continued to encroach on the city of Dayu.
As long as you surrender, you can avoid the massacre, otherwise Songzhou will be the end. This time Bodo is doing it for everyone in the Dayu Kingdom to see.
Lu Fei’s hand holding the reins turned white from exerting too much force. He said, “I will definitely cut off Hakata’s head with my own hands and hang it on the Songzhou City Gate!”
Then he said to the guards around him: “Give the order.” , No one is allowed to accept the surrender of the barbarian soldiers in Songzhou City, no matter how hard they are killed! The whole army has an order, kill! “
Luo Quan has no order to stop Lu Fei. In the hell-like Songzhou City, he has no reason to do so.
What’s more important is that the soldiers seemed to lose control of their emotions after seeing this scene.
From the moment he entered the city, the soldiers behind him were as quiet as night, without making any sound. However, their eyes were gradually covered with hatred, the hands holding their weapons began to turn white, and their breathing gradually became heavier.
“Kill!” After receiving Lu Fei’s order, the soldiers roared and let out the accumulated anger in their hearts. They carried their muskets and searched around the city for traces of the enemy like crazy.
At this moment, they forgot that they were holding muskets, or that only bayonets piercing the enemy’s chest could relieve the hatred in their hearts.
The remaining barbarian soldiers had no time to escape before being drowned in the hateful army.
The sky became darker and darker, and the light of torches began to light up in the city. The figures of the barbarian soldiers disappeared in Songzhou City.
“Bury the corpses of the people and soldiers.”
While stationed at the Songzhou camp, Luo Quan ordered the city gates to be repaired and he began to bury the corpses. There was a lot of plague after the war. As a veteran, he knew what he should do now. .
Qi Guangyi took the order, and only Lu Fei and Luo Quan were left in the camp.
Looking at Lu Fei with a heavy look on his face, Luo Quan patted his shoulder and said, “This is war. Did the barbarians kill few people in Youzhou back then? There were three million people in the entire Sixteenth State of Yanyun. Just kill, then there will really be rivers of blood and corpses everywhere.”
Lu Fei nodded silently. Today’s scene just brought back the past that he didn’t want to recall. He was only eighteen years old at that time. Witnessing the hell-like scene with his own eyes kept him awake for three days and three nights.
From then on, he made an oath that he would repay the blood debt for the dead people of Chongqing in this life.
“General Luo Quan is absolutely right, but what I am worried about now is the current thirteen states of Bashu. With Bodo’s temper, six million Shu people are in danger!” Lu Fei said solemnly.
“So, we can’t stay here in Songzhou City any longer. Tomorrow morning, I and Qi Guangyi will lead the troops to find Bodo’s army. We will raise the troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Now is the time for us to fight the barbarians with our lives.” Luo Quan’s eyes were firm. .
Lu Fei stood up and said: “The old general is in Songzhou City. Qi Guangyi and I can leave the city tomorrow!”
Luo Quan laughed, “You are still able to command this firearms unit. The cavalry is still good at me. You’d better go and relieve the enemy.” Zhou Zhiwei joined forces with Di Ying, and then joined the general. “
Lu Fei thought for a moment and nodded deeply.
After a day’s rest, Lu Fei left ten thousand musketeers in the city to use trenches to prevent the barbarian cavalry from escaping back to the grassland.
The two were preparing to set off when the hunting cavalry sent by Luo Quan three days ago to find news about Bodo returned to Songzhou City.
Arriving in front of Luo Quan, the hunter said loudly: “General, we have found the location of the Sixth Route of Barbarian Cavalry. The leader of the Barbarian Cavalry, Bodo, has arrived in Yazhou. Now he is waiting for the other Five Routes of Cavalry to join him.”
“So we say that we They have already discovered it,” Luo Quan said.
Hakata did not come to Songzhou City, but he waited for the cavalry to gather, obviously to join forces.
The hunting cavalry said: “I’m afraid, the barbarian slave soldiers in Yizhou are also moving towards Yazhou.”
Lu Fei and Luo Quan looked at each other, and the information brought by the hunting cavalry disrupted their plans.
Luo Quan said, “Now that we have found the location of Bodo, it will be much easier. You should immediately send people to Yizhou and order Di Ying to advance to Yazhou.”
Then he said to Lu Fei, “Since Bodo is ready to join forces, let’s We didn’t give him this chance. Before the reinforcements arrived, we took Yazhou and set up a trap here to wait for other barbarian troops to arrive. “
Lu Fei smiled when he heard this, which echoed his thoughts, so he said: “The soldiers are very quick, let’s set off now.”
…
Yazhou.
This is a city less than a hundred miles south of Songzhou City. At this time, Hakata is leading more than 10,000 troops to be stationed in Yazhou City.
He received the news the day after the Dayu cavalry appeared outside Songzhou City. In shock, he immediately sent out cavalry to recall the other five routes of cavalry, and even asked the slave soldiers who besieged Yizhou to return to Yazhou.
“Is there no other way back to the grassland besides Songzhou?” Bodo asked.
Next to him was the captain of the tribe. They looked at each other and shook their heads slowly. “Songzhou is the only way to return to the grassland.”
Bodo paced back and forth. Now he felt a trace of regret in his heart. In order to plunder more financial and cause greater damage to the country of Chongqing.
During this period of time, he was running rampant in Bashu. Wherever he passed, the corpses of the people of Chongqing were left. He knew very well that if he was caught by the army of Chongqing, he would die miserably.
But now he has no way out, and now he is locked in a cage by the army of Great Chongqing.
“I hope the army of Dayu will not come too fast.” Bodo frowned. He only had ten thousand people in Yazhou. No matter how stupid he was, he understood that these people could not stop the army of Dayu.
