As the sun was setting, Liang Hu looked up to the sky and looked at the blood-red clouds in the sky, which seemed to be the same as the blood in the city.
The fighting at the top of the city has stopped long ago, but the nightmare of the people in the city has just begun.
According to Mongolian rules, if a city is breached after resistance, the entire city will be massacred. Although it was not the Mongols who conquered the city at all, the Mongolian dogs had to follow their masters' rules.
Therefore, Liang Hu could only look at the corpse beside him.
There were corpses whose backs were cut into two pieces by a machete while running from the top of the city to the city. There were also corpses whose bones were broken after being trampled repeatedly by horses while running from the city to the city gate. There are soldiers, officers, civilians, men, women, and children.
At the corner of the street, next to where he lay, the corpses were piled up in a heap, like cattle that had been killed by the plague.
Only Liang Hu himself, knowing that his leg was seriously injured and unable to run, simply lay down and waited for death. Perhaps he was lying too calmly, so no one noticed. The black soldiers who suddenly rushed into the city didn't pay attention to him. They walked out of the alley, and the shirtless Bohai people didn't pay attention to him either.
He lay on the cold ground for a long time, his body temperature was dropping and his breathing was getting weaker. There was blood flowing down from the highest point of the pile of corpses, covering the layers of people below. Finally, it was blocked by Liang Hu's legs, and accumulated into a sticky pile. Only a small amount changed directions and flowed into the ditch beside the road. Go inside.
Liang Hu rolled his eyes and looked in the direction of the blood flow, and saw a woman crawling cautiously at the bottom of the ravine. Covered by the blood, it was still possible to tell that her face was beautiful and her hair was beautifully braided. She should be the wife and concubine of an official in the city. She noticed Liang Hu's eyes, showing a pleading look.
Liang Hu immediately looked away. He was still lying on his back, motionless, and then he vaguely heard the woman crawling away from the side.
After a while, a black sergeant finally noticed Liang Hu whose chest was rising and falling weakly. He held the knife in his hand and strode over.
Liang Hu grinned and thought, finally the wait has come.
He closed his eyes and waited for the final moment to come. It took a long time, but there was no further news.
Liang Hu opened his eyes a little and looked outside. He found that the fierce general who led his army to attack the east gate was standing beside his head at some point, staring down at him.
"This guy looks familiar..."
Shi Tianying frowned and considered. He had a few acquaintances in the army near Pingzhou, but they did not include this middle-aged pawn with gray hair... Where had he seen him? I must have seen it, and not long ago...
"That's right! This is the guy who stabbed the gun through the wall!"
Shi Tian used his fists and palms to strike each other, making a soft cracking sound: "This is a good hand, it doesn't seem to be seriously injured... Take it down first, pull out the arrow, and apply some medicine for the wound. Those who are willing to surrender can stay, and those who are not willing to surrender can stay. Just behead him!"
"As you command!"
Two men came up, pulled Liang Hu's legs, looked at his wounds, and even opened the wounds to see what was inside. Liang Hu was very cold and didn't feel any pain. But he still yelled twice, saying kill me and let me die. But his breath was weak, and he seemed to be mumbling even with all his strength.
The two men didn't hear anything at all and just carried Liang Hu and walked out of the city.
While swaying, Liang Hu heard Shi Tianying ordering several of his subordinates majestically: "You have all heard the order of the Great Khan just now. If you say you want to kill them all, then kill them all without leaving anything behind. But, ahem, let's fight fiercely. The troops and horses will also need to be replenished every day. So if you find someone who is available, you might as well sign up for the army... If they don't surrender, it won't be troublesome to kill them, right?"
"The prince is wise!" Several subordinates responded loudly.
Isn't there only one Prince of Linhai County, Zhang Jing, on the other side of Beijing Road? The bitch surrendered to the Mongols and now he became the king of the county?
Liang Hu continued to murmur and curse. What they said again, Liang Hu was carried away and could not hear.
The actions of several slaves were very rough, and he was soon shaken to the point of fainting. When he was approaching the city gate, he vaguely heard a woman screaming; then he saw the woman with exquisitely braided hair without any clothes on.
He took his clothes and ran with his white legs outside the city gate where the cold wind was howling. Many people inside and outside the city gate began to laugh.
These people are no longer human.
Liang Hu cursed and instantly lost consciousness.
The Mongolian army continued to penetrate deep into the Zhongdu Road, and continuously conquered many important passes. As it gradually approached Zhongdu, the Dinghai navy fell silent. It seems that with the heavy snowfall in Liaodong, Shandong has become calm.
At the end of December, two days before New Year's Day, about 300 soldiers rushed to Dongyang City in the north of Yidu City.
Dongyang City was originally the garrison of Guo Zhongyuan's troops. With the barracks and various workshops in place, the training school grounds were expanded, and the high-level military academy where meritorious officers from various departments and newly recruited talented and brave men were trained and reorganized in turn was also located here.
Because the size of the army is rapidly expanding, grassroots officers who need training are constantly gathering from all over the country.
Some people join the army for a short period of time, so they come here to receive short-term training of five or ten days. The main content of their study is the various regulations and laws required for marching, fighting, stationing, training, and control in the army.
There are also people who have made great achievements or are particularly favored by their superiors, so they have to undergo medium and long-term training for twenty days or even two months.
It is said that this kind of training includes history, military art, arithmetic, geography and many other contents. Some of the teaching materials were compiled by Xuan Fu himself. Some of the unique knowledge came from the teachings of strangers in Xuanfu's dreams. Unless he was a close confidant of Xuanfu, or a person with a promising future who was favored by Xuanfu, he would never have access to these secrets.
Therefore, whenever an officer is notified that he is coming to Dongyang City for long-term training, it often means that he will be promoted later. Although the result of the promotion is that the officers have to leave their original units, the officers and soldiers are in a rapidly expanding group like Dinghai Navy. Most of them are full of confidence in the future, so they have great expectations for promotion.
Especially those lucky ones who will not be granted new positions after the training, but stay with the Xuanfu ambassador as guards, it is obvious that they will reach the sky in one step, and they will have a bright future from now on, and they will be envied by everyone for a long time.
With this mentality, when those officers or soldiers reported to Dongyang City, they walked on the road with a different demeanor from ordinary warriors. Even when they pass by farmers in the fields, they will hold their chests high and make themselves majestic, worthy of the awe and admiration of those farmers.
However, this opportunity to show off triumphantly did not fall to Guo Zhongyuan's soldiers at all.
All because Guo Zhongyuan's military camp is in Dongyang City, separated from the military academy by only a wall. The soldiers in his camp walked out of the camp gate and walked a few hundred steps along the alley before entering the military academy. Apart from the craftsmen working in the work sheds, there were no ordinary people along the way.
Yu Xing and Yu Man'er were the two people who came from the alley.
The two of them stood at the gate of the military academy and joined the 300 soldiers who had come for training. Listening to these people talk about the respect they received along the way, they always felt that they had suffered a big loss and missed a special honor.
And this regret turned into huge surprise and dissatisfaction the moment he heard about the time limit for training.
"What?"
Yu Xing shouted loudly: "Five days? Don't you think we are new recruits? Isn't this... isn't this nonsense? Isn't this just for entertainment?"
His cousin Yu Xiaowu was a well-known martyr in the Ding Navy. He himself had the experience of studying in a military academy. He knew many generals in the Ding Navy and could even talk to Guo Ning, the Xuanfu envoy. The accumulation of these backgrounds inevitably made him a little arrogant. Standing in front of the military camp, no one else said anything, but he asked angrily.
Yu Xing's irritable temper probably cannot be changed. So he really didn't notice that on a watchtower dozens of steps away from these students, Guo Ning was holding Lingan and bowing his head to watch a group of soldiers.
Yu Xing's shout was heard, and Guo Ning immediately sneered.
"This kid Yu Xing is probably too difficult to take on important responsibilities. Why did you choose him here?"
