Next, a scene that frightened Jin Guozheng occurred. The extremely brave training soldiers tried to rush into the opposite camp.

But those hundreds of steps seemed like a world away and could never be reached. The instructors fell down row after row, but the gunfire and artillery fire from the opposite side never stopped and continued without end.

The entire war turned into a one-sided massacre!

The young general was frightened. He quickly wanted to escape back to Ningxia City, but found that his retreat had been cut off.

At this time, he remembered Ma Jinliang's words and quickly led the remaining teaching soldiers to escape westward. However, he suddenly discovered that the retreat to the west was also blocked. This time, there were 50,000 Ming troops surrounding him.

I never thought about letting one go!

The young Jin Guozheng was desperate. He quickly sent people to raise the white flag and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Xianwu, the commander of the forward troops of the Fifth Town of the Guards, looked at the majestic Ningxia City in front of him. In the distance, on the top of the city, a field of white-colored religious bandits wearing white hats flashed.

"Report, the group of religious bandits leaving the city has been defeated by our army. There is no time to count the number of enemies killed. It is estimated that there are at least 20,000 people and tens of thousands of wounded. A general who calls himself Jin Guozheng said he is willing to lead the remaining religious bandits.

Submit to the Ming Empire!"

Xu Xianwu sneered, turned to Huang Qing, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army beside him, and asked: "General Huang, this group of religious bandits who are attacking the Han people can't hold on any longer and wants to surrender. What do you think should be done?"

Yu Qijun, the military counselor of the Western Expeditionary Army, seemed to have remembered something and interrupted: "General Huang, Jin Guo is a subordinate of my father-in-law. I didn't expect him to do such a thing!"

Yu Qijun was extremely angry, feeling that Jin Guozheng had ruined the reputation of his father-in-law, Zhao Liangdong.

"I have telegraphed the news of the turmoil among the religious bandits to the emperor before, and the emperor issued a secret order. These religious bandits are all extremely cold-blooded and have gone crazy. They are killing our Han people. There is no need to be merciful. We will ignore them and just kill them all.

"

Huang Qing said simply and neatly.

Xu Xianwu nodded and said: "What General Huang said is true! These religious bandits are like animals and not worthy of being human. However, if we kill them directly now, I am afraid that the White Horse Bandits in Ningxia City will become more stubborn and attack us.

It would be unfavorable to regain Gansu as soon as possible. These beasts also have the value of livestock, so let them serve as cannon fodder and charge at the front to attack the city. Our Ming coalition forces will hold down the rear and attack later. How about that?"

When Yu Qijun thought about the tragic situation in those villages along the way, and the countless people who died tragically at the hands of these beasts, he became angry: "What Xiao Xu said is true, that's how it should be."

Huang Qing also nodded.

Previously, Huang Qing heard the news that Sun Sike had withdrawn his troops and fled Gansu. He was quite happy, thinking that he could easily regain Gansu.

Unexpectedly, what happened next made him a little shocked!

Ever since the large army entered Ningxia Mansion, he kept seeing religious bandits wearing white hats, burning, killing and looting all the way. Out of anger, he quickly sent troops to kill them.

But the closer he got to the city of Ningxia, the more things happened that filled him with righteous indignation. Countless villagers were massacred by this gang of religious bandits.

Once, Huang Qing's army passed by a large village. This large village was razed to the ground, and the houses were destroyed by fire. It was extremely quiet, except for dozens of eagles flying in circles, as if they were eating.

He sent someone to investigate and discovered that the entire village, with more than 2,000 people, had all died tragically. Even the corpses were chopped into pieces and eaten by eagles. The scene was so tragic that even he, who had seen countless war scenes,

There are also some who can’t stand it.

Through the search, it was found that only an old woman and a seven-year-old child were left in the village and escaped by hiding in the cellar. The rest of the people, whether they were young adults, women, or children, were all killed.

The old woman with bloodshot eyes told Huang Qing that a group of religious bandits wearing white hats had killed everyone in their village, saying that the Han people who did not believe in their sect were not worthy of living in this world.

Huang Qing was angry that there was such a lunatic.

Huang Qing, who has lived in Fujian for a long time, couldn't help but think of the Quanzhou Rebellion during the Yuan Dynasty, also known as the Yisibaxi Rebellion.

Quanzhou was originally the world's number one commercial port at that time, but a "Yisibaxi Rebellion" occurred, which spread to Hui'an, Xianyou, Putian, Fuqing and Fuzhou and lasted for ten years.

The main body of this war was not the peasants who revolted, nor the self-respecting officers and soldiers, nor the heroes of troubled times who wanted to replace the Yuan Dynasty, but the religious Arab and Persian merchants living in Quanzhou.

At that time, the Pu family of Arab descent (who had betrayed the Southern Song Dynasty) saw that the Mongols could no longer be relied upon, so they began to stand on their own in Quanzhou, preparing to join the next family, and together with the Persian army, the Yisi Baxi Army plundered the Quanzhou area.

In the past ten years, Quanzhou, as the birthplace of the Yisibaxi Rebellion, suffered such disasters that it was unimaginable.

Yisi Baxi's soldiers committed violence everywhere, causing harm to lives and causing harm to both urban and rural areas.

For a time, the giant clans moved around, and the people had no place to escape.

Because "outside the county town, there is a war zone", wars and wars, coupled with year-round famine, an even more tragic phenomenon has emerged. Just as the eminent monk Dakui of Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou lamented, "My county has never been called a Buddhist country, but I have never heard of it."

There is this cannibalism."

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, in view of the "Yisibaxi" disaster, took history as a mirror, and became even more angry at the actions of the Pu family. He hated Pu Shougeng's betrayal of his masters for glory and massacred the Han people, so he decided to carry out the most extreme punishment on his descendants.

The severe punishment was specifically stipulated in the edict of amnesty for the world: the remaining members of the Dupu family will be imprisoned by the army and will never be able to hold official positions in their lives.

Huang Qing knew that the religion that these bandits believed in was similar to that of the Arabs and Persians in Quanzhou back then. They were not good people and they could only be killed.

Huang Qing agreed to implement the plan of using the remaining 20,000 religious bandits as cannon fodder.

On that day, the Ming coalition forces launched a general attack on Ningxia City.

Jin Guozheng, who was about to cry without tears, led more than 20,000 surrendered soldiers, rushed to the front, used countless ladders to rush into the city, and carried earth bags on their backs to fill the city to attack the Ningxia tower in the most stupid way.

The instructors on the city tower ignored Li Shun's order and did not want to harm the compatriots below the city. They opened the city gate directly and wanted to put the 20,000 surrendered troops outside the city into the city.

But, how could Daming be so stupid?

Huang Qing and the others had already made arrangements. In the second half, 12% of the troops who surrendered were pretended to be the Ming National Defense Force!

The moment the National Defense Forces rushed into the city gate, they took off the white hats on their heads, armed with lightning rifles with bayonets, and seized the city gate.

The large Ming army outside the city, under the impact of two thousand cuirassiers, quickly rushed into the city and captured other city gates!
