Panic, anxiety, fear! !
Various emotions spread in the city of Yangzhou in an instant. As the news spread, the city soon became chaotic. A large number of people rushed back to their homes, fearing that they would run too slowly and cause disaster. , that would be bad. When encountering danger, everyone's first reaction is to find the direction of home.
"How could that be? I wasn't sleeping."
"I just got off the canal. The river is flowing smoothly and there is no problem. Why did the call come all of a sudden? The city checkpoint in front is gone. Why is Yangzhou City being surrounded?"
Nie Pingan looked around in surprise. This situation was completely unexpected. Is this a dream or real? Suddenly, his head was a little big, and he had no idea what to do. Subconsciously, I also want to return to the Qinggang headquarters. The situation has changed. According to the plan, the Qinggang is preparing to evacuate. Tens of thousands of gang members, no matter where they are, are a considerable force.
I still have some confusion in my heart. Logically speaking, when the situation changes, the Qinggang has already left.
This didn't give him much to think about, though.
Soon, various news came.
"The magistrate has issued a notice. The front line has been lost. Jiannu has set up camp twenty miles outside our Yangzhou City. Tomorrow we will attack the city with troops. Yangzhou City is in danger. I hope that all the major families in the city can mobilize their servants to go up the city wall to resist Jiannu. , You have meritorious service in killing the enemy, and you will be rewarded heavily."
There were government officials who kept issuing notices.
This is a notice issued by the prefect Ren Yumin.
"The Minister of War, Dongge University Scholar Shi Kefa has arrived in Yangzhou City, carrying five thousand soldiers and horses, and is determined to defend Yangzhou City to the death."
Another news came.
Shi Kefa's name instantly calmed people's hearts in the city. However, the troops brought were too few.
The number of standing defenders in Yangzhou City is 30,000. Once a war breaks out, they can quickly climb the city wall and resist attacks at any time. In addition to the 5,000 brought by Shi Kefa, 35,000 will be available. In the city defense battle, as long as they do not go out, Surprisingly, it would take at least four times the enemy's force to have a chance to capture the city, five times to surround it, and ten times to annihilate it. Although these are not absolute, it is entirely possible to defend the city.
"Commander Liu Zhaoji and his men have climbed onto the city wall, and their crossbows have been cocked. News is being passed around the city one by one.
The people's hearts in the city also became a little more stable. But he is not completely settled yet. After all, this incident happened too suddenly. It's not enough to make people feel at ease. The army has already pressed down on the situation, and the knife is hanging above their heads. No one knows whether it will fall.
Under the flames of war, no one can guarantee that they will survive.
Faced with this, Nie Pingan was also anxious. However, watching the situation develop, he felt an invisible depression filling the air. With the situation in the city, can it really be stopped? Is the Ming army really reliable?
To be honest, Nie Ping'an didn't have any confidence in his heart. Things are so bad now.
Even he didn't realize that he had unconsciously integrated into the current environment.
Suddenly, I felt that the scene outside me was changing rapidly. The next second it becomes something else.
There is news.
"It's not good. Li Qifeng, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Town, and Gao Qifeng, the supervisor of the army, have surrendered." "Hu Shangyou and Han Shangliang have also surrendered. It's over. Yangzhou City cannot be defended."
After ten days of arduous defense, Yangzhou fell into the hands of the Qing army. Ren Yumin, the magistrate of Yangzhou, was killed for his disobedience, and his whole family fell into a well and died. Shi Kefa was captured and died generously. All this was seen by Nie Pingan, who witnessed the bloody battle with his own eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the city gate was breached. The Qing army entered the city.
The people in the city hid in their homes for fear of encountering disaster.
According to the usual practice, after the city is broken, even if some soldiers loot and lose some property, that's it. As long as you can save your life, that is more important than anything else. But then, Nie Pingan saw an even more cruel and bloody scene.
The Jiannu who rushed into the city let out strange screams, brandished their swords, and charged towards the city. They broke down the doors of every house without ceremony.
It's not about robbing money, it's about killing people.
Kill people when you see them, chop them down when you catch them.
Even if the people knelt down to beg for mercy and surrendered, it was of no use at this moment.
What greeted him was the cold butcher knife. Begging for mercy is useless! Kneel down, no use! 1 Surrender, it’s useless! !
What ushered in was only the cold butcher's knife and bloody killing. "Lord Duduo has an order to massacre the city!!"
"We will not seal the sword day and night, massacre Yangzhou City, leave no chickens or dogs behind, kill, kill, kill!!" A Jiannu shouted loudly.
The canal was dyed red with blood, and corpses were everywhere in the city. No one could imagine how horrific the scene was. Millions of people in the city fell one after another under the butcher's knife, and they were killed from day to night, and from night to dawn. , the bloody light in the sky dyed the earth red.
"How dare, how dare these slaves?"
"Massage the city, they dare to massacre the city, why is this happening?" "These slave slaves have no humanity. Executioners, executioners."
When Nie Ping'an witnessed this cruel scene, his whole soul was hit by an unimaginable impact. Even if he had a premonition that once the city was breached, the city would be robbed. That was already a pretty bad scene, but he never thought that these slave builders would Will massacre the city.
Massacre of a city is something unimaginable.
How many times has it happened in history? Which one will not leave an indelible infamy in history? It is the object of so many people's reviles. Even death cannot wash away the sin. This karma can make Man cannot be reincarnated forever.
Back then, Bai Qi was known as the God of Killing, but he only managed to kill an army of 400,000 people. It was still considered a battle between two armies. When both sides were enemies, once they were tricked and killed, the infamy would be with them for many years. The reputation of God of Death, Executioner, and Butcher would be added to their head. .
How many people are there in Yangzhou City now? There are millions of them. They have all been slaughtered. The killings caused are far more than Bai Qi. Duduo is the butcher and the devil.
Nie Ping'an could not have imagined that no one in the city could imagine that such a massacre would happen again. This was definitely the most terrifying scene in the world and a sin that could never be erased. It is truly tragic.
Ten days! !
The massacre lasted for ten days.
One million people, 800,000 of them, were massacred. Inside the city, corpses were strewn across the fields, piled up like mountains, and countless blood seeped into the ground. It was scarlet, and the smell of blood was pungent, making people almost go crazy on the spot. The sky was filled with crows and vultures. Circling, countless goshawks, rats reveling.
"Impossible!!" "How dare they.
Nie Ping'an stood beside the mountain of corpses, looking at countless corpses, old people and children, and numerous severed fingers and mutilated bodies.
"Why don't you dare!!"
At this moment, we can see that the scene in Yangzhou City changes. A figure wearing a blue nebula robe appears out of thin air, walking from the end of the street, step by step, stepping on the corpses, walking in the blood, slowly Come.
"Who are you? It's you who caused the trouble here. Is this in a dream? You can enter the dream and control my dream."
When Nie Ping'an saw Zhong Yan's figure, something stirred in his mind, and he subconsciously began to question him.
Thinking back on everything that happened before, it was so dreamy. "Indeed, you can regard this as your dream." Zhong Yan smiled and said calmly.
"So, everything here is not real, it's all fake. I'm just dreaming. In fact, this is a dream that you influenced me."
Nie Ping'an's face was filled with surprise and horror. His eyes were always fixed on Zhong Yan, not daring to relax at all.
"No, although you are in a dream, everything you experience is not fake, but the real future. They are happening now. If nothing changes, these will truly become facts."
"The city of Yangzhou will be invaded, and Duduo will order the massacre of the city and carry out the ten-day tragedy in Yangzhou. A million people will be massacred, and more than 800,000 will be slaughtered. Rivers of blood will flow, and corpses will pile up like mountains. These are not dreams, they are about to happen. A future scene that will happen."
Zhong Yan said calmly. Snapped! !
Nie Ping'an subconsciously took a step back and looked at the corpses around him.
The light suddenly dimmed, unable to accept all this, and couldn't help shouting: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, why did Jiannu massacre the city? These are 800,000 people, their hearts are really Are they made of iron and stone? They are beasts."
"Is this impossible? If Yangzhou City dares to resist the Jiannu, the Jiannu will naturally kill them to serve as a warning. Moreover, Yangzhou is rich, and at the same time as the massacre, everything here will belong to the Jiannu. If they are killed cleanly, then they will all be killed. It’s all theirs, and what they want to slaughter is the blood and resistance of the Han people, and they want to cut off the backbone of the Han people, and they want to bend the bones of the Han people with killing.”
"Infamy means nothing to them. They are worse than animals. Are they afraid of being called a butcher?"
"However, the 800,000 people who were massacred in Yangzhou deserved to be killed."
Zhong Yan calmly looked at the corpses everywhere and said without emotion. You can even hear a hint of disdain in his voice.
"Why do you say that?"
Nie Ping'an's chest suddenly burst into anger, and he glared at Zhong Yan. "Did I say something wrong?"
Zhong Yan shook his head disdainfully and asked: "Even if the Ming army surrenders, how many soldiers and horses does Duo Feng have in his hands? No more than 200,000, and how many people are there in the city. At least one million. Two hundred thousand versus one million , even if they were soldiers, even if all the 200,000 people participated in the massacre of the city, it would not be so easy to kill the one million people in the city, even if they were sheep. Eight hundred thousand people were slaughtered in ten days, how ridiculous and sad. "
Nie Pingan's body felt like it was struck by lightning, and he suddenly took several steps back, his face turned pale.
Yes, even if there are one million sheep, facing an army of 200,000, if they are really involved, the 200,000 troops will suffer heavy losses. It is not easy to slaughter 800,000. Pian Jiannu did it, and here's why.
