Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 272

In Fancheng, a large number of soldiers were awakened by the military academy, put on armor, took up weapons and boarded the city wall.

Although the Ming army didn't know what the Qing army was going to do, since the opponent lined up in the city, they had to guard against it.

Gao Yigong led a team of generals to the wall to hide, looking at the Qing soldiers below the city, he couldn't help asking in doubt: "What kind of tricks are the Qing soldiers doing there?"

The soldiers at the side shook their heads when they heard the words.

At this time, Niu Lu under the city saw that the Ming army was already standing on the city wall, and there were soldiers of the Ming army hiding behind each wall. The Niu Lu pointed his whip backwards, and the Manchu cavalry behind him immediately separated neatly. At that moment, a team of knife and poker players pushed a hundred Ming soldiers out.

On the edge of the tower, Gao Yigong was immediately furious when he saw this, and his face sank. The soldiers of the Ming army pushed out by the Qing soldiers, who were tied up with five flowers and strung together with long ropes, were lying in ambush outside the north gate last night. The soldiers of the Ming army who escorted them back to the city.

"Yanlong!" General Yang Yanchang looked at a Qianhu of the Ming army who was bound under the city, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Last night the Ming army robbed the camp, Yang Yanchang led more than 1000 people to respond, but was smashed by Oboi, a scuffle ensued, countless casualties, even his brother Yang Yanlong was also captured by Oboi.

At this time, in the Qing army formation, Niu Jinxing received Azig's signal, rode his horse and came before the captives, and shouted to the city with a little pride: "General Gao, these soldiers of the Ming army are all your subordinates. Last night, General Gao They left in a hurry, but they were left outside the city, and were captured by the commander of the Qing Dynasty, Batu Luao. The Prince of England asked me to send a message to General Gao. There are a total of [-] Ming troops here. From now on, if If the general does not surrender, I will kill ten people per stick of incense until the general is willing to leave the city and surrender! If these hundred Ming soldiers are killed, after the city is broken, the two cities of Xiangfan, regardless of the army or civilians, regardless of age, Kill all women and children, leaving no chicken or dog behind!"

The Qing soldiers were cruel, and they did what they said. Since they entered the pass, countless cities have been massacred. The Ming soldiers on the city saw that their comrades were bound under the city, and they were about to be slaughtered by the Qing soldiers. How could they bear to watch.

"Niu Jinxing, I will definitely kill you!" Gao Yigong punched the wall angrily after hearing this.

He knew that Azig didn't think that killing a hundred Ming soldiers would force the second city of Xiangfan to surrender without a fight. The brutality of the army created terror and shook the morale and confidence of the defenders.

Gao Yigong and many generals have seen through Azig's intentions, but ordinary soldiers don't understand that war means death, whether killed in battle or captured, this is the price of war, the generals are used to it, but the soldiers They didn't understand, they only knew that their comrade was about to be killed, and the whole city fell silent.

Just as this silence swept the entire army, Yang Yanlong, who was tied up among a hundred Ming soldiers, broke free from the Qing soldiers behind him, knelt forward a few steps, and suddenly shouted: "General, the last general is at a disadvantage in battle. Captives should die early, and today they can die in front of the two armies, but they can die without regrets!"

"Brother, remember to help me kill a few more Tartars and avenge me!" He looked at Yang Yanchang at the top of the wall again, let out a mournful cry, and ran towards the Qing soldiers beside him after speaking, but was defeated by the Qing soldiers. Kicked and fell to the ground.

Hearing the sound, Yang Yanchang at the top of the city burst into tears and couldn't speak. Gao Yigong's hand holding the knife was bruised, and he shouted loudly: "Yang Yanlong, you have not insulted the spirit of our Han nationality! I will I swear here that the [-] soldiers of the loyal army will avenge you!"

Hearing Gao Yigong's words on the city, the Ming army couldn't help raising their weapons, and from the silence, they burst into a mournful and indignant cry: "Revenge!"

Seeing this, Azige, Wu Sangui and others in the Qing army couldn't help being furious. He intended to hit the morale of the Ming army, but now he aroused the murderous aura of the Ming army, and a big drama was immediately thrown into his hands.

Seeing that the situation was destroyed by Yang Yanlong, Aobai was furious. He couldn't help jumping out of his horse. When he came to the Ming army's captives, he got off his horse and kicked the Qing soldiers behind Yang Yanlong away. Cut off all of Yang Yanlong's right arms.

An arm fell to the ground, blood spattered, Wang Yanlong groaned, and fell to the ground, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his teeth were almost gnashed, but he just didn't make a sound.

He is not Guan Yunchang who scrapes bones to heal poison, he is not Xiahou Dun who draws arrows and eats eyes, he is not as good as those brave generals recorded in history, he is just an ordinary thousand household in the Ming army, but he endured the destructive Painful in will, he sat up again, and laughed loudly: "Happy, happy! I don't want this arm for a long time! Jiannu, if you have the guts, give grandpa another knife!"

Yang Yanlong's toughness made Oboi startled, but at the same time he was also extremely annoyed. He was used to seeing Han people who bowed their knees and bowed their heads to please him. He was used to the humble appearance of Han people. He couldn't stand Yang Yanlong The arrogance displayed by Yanlong.

Thousands of years of cultural inheritance and thousands of years of civilization cultivated the arrogance of the Han people from the bottom of their hearts, which deeply hurt Jiannu's self-esteem.

Yes, so what if you are powerful?After all, Hu Wu is good for a hundred years, yes, so what if you found the country and become the emperor?The barbarians cannot become Huaxia after all, but the great Han will always be Huaxia.

Hearing Yang Yanlong's words, Aobai's face twisted suddenly, the long knife in his hand fell, and Yang Yanlong's left arm fell to the ground again.

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame and wealth, dust and soil. Looking at China, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land is barren. Looking at the world, there are no barbarians, and the law of heaven is incomplete. Good man, don't leave your parents, just for the common people and not for the Lord." Holding a steel knife 99, kill Hu Er and stop. I am a masculine man, why should a barbarian be a horse and an ox~" At this time Yang Yanlong was already numb from the pain, his face was pale, and he muttered word by word Singing, just never giving in.

Seeing this, Obai was shocked, but the long knife in his hand still fell, and cut off Yang Yanlong and retreated to the left.

The intense pain made Yang Yanlong almost faint, his consciousness was blurred, he knew that he couldn't hold on anymore, he didn't want to beg the Qing soldiers for mercy, so he didn't know where the strength came from, and shouted to the city: "Brother, give me I have a shot, help me."

A hundred households of the Ming army who were bound suddenly cried out: "The general fires at us, don't let thousands of households be insulted by Jiannu, kill us~"

"Puff!" That Baihu had just finished speaking, and the Qing soldiers behind him had learned from the past, and immediately pierced his chest with a knife. Bright red blood burst out from his chest, and Baihu immediately fell down and died. .

"Kill us, kill us!" Seeing this, all the bound soldiers yelled in unison, and the Qing soldiers behind them attacked with the back of their swords. The Ming soldiers wanted to resist, but they were bound. After seeing them for a while, they were all knocked to the ground, and their heads were bleeding.

On the city wall, Yang Yanchang shook his head again and again, tears streaming down his face, he really couldn't bear to kill his own brother, that was his only relative in the world.

Above Fancheng, there was a burst of crying, and then a song came to mind: "Is there no clothes? I have the same robe with you. Wang Yuxing master, repair my spear. I have the same hatred with you! ~~~"

This is the commitment of the defenders on the city to the Ming army below the city. The sufferings and tortures they suffered, and all the hatred in their hearts, the defenders on the city can empathize with.

The singing voice grew from small to loud, spreading throughout the city, and amidst the mournful and indignant singing, Gao Yigong screamed in agony: "Fire the cannon~"
