The main force led by Shi Heng was 60,000 people, more than 10,000 people were dispersed to guard the grain roads, and only more than 50,000 people were stationed in Pingliang City.
Shi Heng was walking on thin ice in Annan, and Han Yong was not idle in the three southwestern provinces. While allocating military supplies and fodder, he was frantically preparing to enter Annan...
Han Yong requested an edict that all prisoners in custody in the three southwestern provinces, except those with murder cases on their backs, could be released directly from prison and join the expeditionary force. He also promised them that they would be able to obtain land and wealth in Annan. Let's forget the blame for the crime.
Since ancient times, the people of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan have been fierce. They have caused many civil uprisings because they were dissatisfied with the local government. These people cannot be called rebellions, and higher-level officials dare not kill them or make things worse. They can only Keep him in custody and provide him with good food and drink.
These people are the forces that Han Yong wants to mobilize. Of course, these people are not going to fight on the frontal battlefield. They are just in the occupied areas, fighting wits and courage with the people of Dai Viet, assisting the army, and steadily digesting the occupied areas.
The theme set by Shi Heng and Han Yong was revenge, but they all knew that they could not block the sun in the sky. They could kill 100,000 people or a million people, but in the end they could not kill the people of Li Dynasty. Finished killing.
At this time, it is important to make an important point. The people who cultivate crops live in the wilderness and are too scattered. If you want to raid the deep mountains and old forests and catch all those people and kill them, it is simply impossible. Reality, so Shi Heng's target of robbery and massacre was set in cities and markets.
Veteran general Wang Tong signed a withdrawal agreement with Li Taizu Li Li that was humiliating and humiliating the country. He was imprisoned from the Xuande period to the 10th year of Chenghua. Thirty years of prison life made Wang Tong full of hatred for Annan.
His Majesty the Emperor did not trust Wang Tong, but when Shi Heng was in Guangxi and Yunnan, he discovered that Wang Tong still had some abilities, so he handed over Jing'an, which was the easiest to attack, to him.
In six days, at the cost of 700 casualties, Wang Tong successfully occupied Jing'an City, which was also the Ming army's first victory after entering An.
He ordered a large army to massacre the city. There were more than 60,000 people in the city, and only more than 4,000 young women were left in captivity. The rest were almost killed and plundered.
Of course, among these 60,000 people, there were still some families who were not killed.
There are 130 households and more than 700 people.
These people are all descendants of military households from the Meiji Annan era. They are half Han Chinese and speak fluent Cantonese. Of course, their status in the city was very low before, and they also resented their origins, but After this sudden change, he survived because of his own blood, and later became the new generation of big landowners in Annan.
In order to protect the results of the battle, Wang Tong's army began to clean up the villages and towns fifty miles away from the city. During the cleaning process, many young soldiers became soft-hearted and paid a heavy price in the process of war and massacre. , more and more young soldiers know that they are entering a slaughterhouse, and if they don't become butchers, they will become the massacred.
Shi Heng and Mu Zan also did the same. Almost all the places where the army passed were turned into scorched earth.
Blood, death, fire, and tears have become the main theme here.
Of course, this place has also become a training ground for the second-generation ancestors of the capital. These second-generation ancestors also have to participate in the battle, some of them are with Shi Heng, and some of them are with Mu Zan.
Sun Lian was with Mu Zan, and besides him, there were more than thirty people.
It was also the first wave of hundreds of nobles from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to participate in the battle.
On this day, Sun Lian followed more than 20 soldiers to pursue several Annan soldiers who had escaped when the city was defeated. In a dense jungle, they discovered that these soldiers had entered a village.
The leader of this small team was a young Baihu who had experienced hundreds of battles in Liaodong. When Sun Lian first saw him, he was stunned. He had been staying in the military camp and was used to the killing atmosphere.
But after seeing this boss, I was still frightened.
This guy didn't like to talk. Sun Lian didn't say a word to him all the way. In whispers with other soldiers, Sun Lian also learned the name and details of this hundred households.
Shi E, a native of Liaodong, was the adopted son of Shi Biao. He started fighting in Liaodong when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. He once rode into Mongolia and drove away the Mongolian cavalry near the bunker. He also participated in the attack on the wild Jurchens in Liaoping Prefecture. During the expedition, he also went to North Korea. This time Shi Heng arrived in Annan, and he was transferred here. He participated in suppressing the chieftain rebellion in Yunnan a year ago, and killed more than ten people by himself.
As the name suggests, he is very fierce and powerful. The brothers went out with him and felt at ease.
It had rained for many days, making the underwear under their armor very damp. If they had not been rolling around and crawling in the same terrain in Yunnan for a whole year, Sun Lian would definitely not be able to bear it.
"There are probably hundreds of people in this village. Let's mark them and retreat first. When we have enough people, we will come over to catch them." Sun Lian whispered.
Shi E, who was standing at the front, turned his head and glanced at Sun Lian. With just this glance, Sun Lian felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole and held his breath.
Damn it, why are these eyes like those of a wild beast? It looks like it wants to eat people.
Then Shi E took another look at the other soldiers, and finally said: "The fact that those few people ran out proves that they are the elite of the Annan Army. If we retreat, it is equivalent to letting them go. They will kill many of us in the future." Brother, although there seem to be hundreds of people in this village, there are no more than thirty young and strong people. They have no weapons to kill, nor armor to protect themselves. We are at an advantage. If we are from the village, be obedient. By handing over those few soldiers, we can kill a few less of them, but if they are unwilling to hand over, we will kill them all."
After finishing speaking, Shi E glanced at Sun Lian again: "This is fighting, not playing. You are here to fight, not to enjoy. There is no little prince here. You have to obey my orders. Otherwise, I will kill you directly."
Although Shi E spoke softly, in Sun Lian's ears, it was like a thunder blow, resounding in his heart...
"Yes, Mr. General." After Sun Lian finished speaking, he felt that his attitude was not sincere enough, and pulled out the knife from his waist: "If they surrender, I will not kill them, but if they don't Hand it over, I won’t even spare the dogs in their village.”
As soon as Sun Lian finished speaking, several dogs actually barked in the village...
"Okay, it seems that we have dog meat to eat today." Shi E said softly, and then walked down first.
At this time, the tall soldier who had been following Shi E asked: "If we go down now, will we be ambushed by them?"
"No, if we go down now, there won't be any traps or ambushes. If we delay for a while, they will be ready." Shi E's attitude towards his old brother who had been with him for many years was obviously much better, with a sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Dozens of soldiers drew their knives, and four soldiers successfully loaded the three-eyed fire blunderbuss in their hands as they went down. They also wore melee weapons on their waists, and a long bow hung behind them. , quiver.
The barking of dogs in the village made the people in the village alert.
Shi E and his soldiers slowly approached the village.
At the corner of the wooden house, a group of farmers rushed out. They all held farm tools in their hands and attacked Sun Lian and others.
Sun Lian was a little panicked, why haven't we talked about this yet, and the fight was about to begin.
Sun Lian panicked, but the other soldiers did not panic. There were several loud noises first, and the firecrackers were the first to spit out flames. The three men who were charging forward fell to the ground...
At this time, Shi E unhurriedly pulled out his long sword and held it tightly with both hands: "They have made a choice. They want to be our enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Kill them all without leaving any one behind... "
When the Ming soldiers heard this, they gritted their teeth and shouted loudly: "Kill...kill...kill..."
Among them, Sun Lian seemed to be affected by the cry of killing. He raised his knife and rushed to the front. As he rushed, he shouted: "Kill."
But his combat experience was obviously not good. As soon as he made contact, before the knife could be slashed out, he was hit on the helmet by a wooden stick. His head was buzzing, and then he fell down. He saw a dung fork heading towards him. I got a tattoo on my face…………ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
Damn it, am I going to tell you, Mr. Marquis, that I’m here so soon? It was too late, but soon, an arrow flew out and hit the thin farmer holding a manure fork. Sun Lian also quickly turned his head to avoid the fatal blow...
