Chapter 942: The Tartars deserve to be retribution

(0942)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

The group came to the vicinity of the city tower at the south gate, which was already ruins. The blasting blows up the entire city tower. The Hu Ben Army is busy fighting, so naturally no one comes to clean up these ruins. In the ruins, there are also a large number of corpses of defenders. The scene is full of chaos. Half of the body of someone was exposed outside, and there are all kinds of postures. There are even people who have not yet died completely and their fingers can still move.

Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi looked at the scene while walking, and their faces were a little stiff. Such a scene has indeed surpassed the imagination of a literati. Especially the literati from Jiangnan, when have they ever seen such a terrifying scene? If Zhang Zhun hadn't walked ahead with great strides, they would have dared not continue to move forward.

On the contrary, Gu Hengbo didn't feel much. Because she basically walked with her eyes narrowed. Wherever Zhang Zhun's footsteps fell, her footsteps would follow, without any deviation. She followed Zhang Zhun tightly, never looking around her, so as not to see uncomfortable scenes.

After finally entering the city, the group gradually adapted to it. The smell of gunpowder smoke in the city became lighter, but the smell of blood became stronger. Along the way, there were corpses of defenders everywhere. Most of the corpses were incomplete. There were also many Tartars who were stabbed to death by the Hu Ben Army's bayonets, and blood flowed out. On the streets, where the slightly lower-lying places were pools of blood that had already begun to turn black.

Most of the corpses on the street are from the enemy, and only a small number are from the soldiers of the Tiger Army. They were all killed by the Tartars lurking in the city, releasing cold arrows. Because of the tense battle, their bodies had not yet been cleared. The arrows inserted into them left a very deep impression on everyone present.

Every time he saw these martyrs who died, Zhang Zhun raised his hand to salute. The military cap on his head had already taken off. Along the way, Zhang Zhun raised his right hand at least thirty times, indicating that there were at least thirty bodies of the martyrs of the Tiger Ben Army. This was just on one street, and in other streets, more people might have sacrificed.

Although the Hu Ben Army had a great advantage and basically suppressed the Tartars to fight. However, war is war after all, and people always die. It is absolutely unrealistic for the Hu Ben Army to recover Liaoyang without paying a little price.

Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi vomited quietly several times and slowly endured it. Such an experience was really shocking for both of them. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they could not believe that the Hu Ben Army destroyed the Tartars through such a cruel battle. Some of the Hu Ben Army soldiers who fell to the ground were obviously less than 20 years old, and they still looked childish! However, they had already sacrificed their lives for the country.

Their sacrifice was worth it. Because they used their sacrifices to contribute to the recovery of Liaoyang. In the past, the Ming army sacrificed so many people, but they were never able to defeat the Tartars. On the contrary, they were always beaten by the Tartars. The Ming army that died in battle was the least worth it. Their lives were all ruined by the incompetent emperors, incompetent courts, and incompetent superiors. Didn’t Zhang Zhun’s father just die inexplicably?

The remaining defenders were escorted out by the Hu Ben Army soldiers. Most of these prisoners were Han military flags, or Koreans, and there were only a very small number of Tartars. Most of these Tartars were injured or were caught after being shaken into a coma. After waking up, they were generally not convinced, always screaming hysterically, and want to continue fighting with the Hu Ben Army.

Therefore, everyone's mouth was stuffed with rags and other things, and their hands were firmly tied up. Some of the soldiers of the Tiger Army were angry with them and simply tied them up and dragged them all the way from the ground. These soldiers were usually from Northern Zhili, and their hatred for the Tartars had reached their peak.

Gu Hengbo suddenly asked, "Zhang Zhun, will you kill them?"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said nothing.

Are you going to kill these Tartars? Of course, he would not do it himself. I don’t know how many people want to kill these Tartars. If you queue up, you can line up from Liaoyang to Chenyang. Those soldiers from Northern Zhili, soldiers from Liaodong, and Han slaves from Liaodong didn’t know how eager they had Tartars fell into their hands.

Gu Hengbo frowned gently, not understanding what Zhang Zhun meant.

Zhang Zhun said casually: "These traitors will be sent to places that suit them. Death is really too cheap for them. As for these Tartars, they will be handed over to the Han slaves to deal with. Two days later, there should be a public trial meeting, so you might as well go and have a look."

Gu Hengbo hmmed for a moment and expressed his understanding.

At the same time, Gu Hengbo couldn't help but feel a little contempt for Zhang Zhun's trick. How could he survive if he handed over the Tartars to those Han slaves? What's the difference between this and killing them directly? Just kill them with one knife, why bother with others?

However, Gu Hengbo quickly figured it out. It is estimated that Zhang Zhun wanted to bribe the hearts of the Han people in Liaodong. Thinking of the sufferings suffered by Han slaves, even the most kind or hypocritical people, it would not be possible for Zhang Zhun to stop Zhang Zhun's decision. There are so many Han people who died at the hands of the Tartars, and they deserve the retribution of the Tartars.

I believe that after receiving such treatment, Han slaves from Liaodong must have been devoted to Zhang Zhun. Judging from what she learned, there are actually quite a lot of Han people in Liaodong. With such a helping force, the power of the Hu Ben Army will be even stronger.

"well!"

Gu Hengbo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Thinking that the power of the Hu Ben Army would be even stronger, Gu Hengbo couldn't help but think of the current imperial court. The imperial court moved to Shuzhong, which seemed to be temporarily safe, but in fact, it threw away all the land outside Shuzhong. Shuzhong was only suitable for peace, but not for expansion! Once Zhang Zhun controlled Shaanxi, Huguang, Yunnan and other places, it was just around the corner and entered Shuzhong. In other words, the final demise of the imperial court was almost inevitable.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded crisply, followed by a small group of cavalry in front of them, and came over excitedly. The leader was a woman in Mongolian costume. She brought people to escort a group of tied people, and trudged the horses in front of Zhang Zhun, and said with a gale of eyebrows: "Zhang Zhun, I've caught Haoge!"

As he said that, he pushed the man who was tied up and pushed him forward. The man was almost unstable and would fall to the ground all of a sudden. Fortunately, his physical reaction was pretty good. After a few staggers, he barely stood firm. At this time, everyone realized that he was indeed a little embarrassed, and he was covered in dust, and it seemed that he was coming out of the soil.

"Is this Hauge?"

Everyone around Zhang Zhun suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi looked at each other and saw the excited expression in each other's eyes. This is Haoge! I really can't tell! Why did this Beile of the Great Jin Kingdom, Huang Taiji's eldest son, become so embarrassed?

Gu Hengbo's eyes were even sharper. What she saw was not only Haoge's arrest, but also the Mongolian cavalry who captured Haoge. This fully shows that some, even most of the Mongolians, had already surrendered to Zhang Zhun. The strength of the Hu Ben Army itself was already very strong, and with the help of the Mongols, what could that be?

"Are you Hauge?"

Zhang Zhun looked at the other party and said in a deep voice.

"Are you Zhang Zhun?"

Haoge seemed to have reacted and said a little confused.

"I'm Zhang Zhun."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly.

"Zhang Zhun, give me some fun!"

Haoge laughed bitterly and begged loudly.

"I'm not dealing with you."

"The Han slaves in Liaodong will consider how to deal with you!"

Zhang Zhun sneered slightly and said lightly.

He waved his hand, and someone came up from behind and took Hauge away.

Poor Haoge kept calling, hoping that Zhang Zhun would give him a happy ending. Of course, he understood what would happen if he fell into the hands of those Han slaves. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun turned a deaf ear. Now he knew he was afraid, why did he go there?

Haoge, Huang Taiji's eldest son, and the future heir of the Great Jin Kingdom, fell into the hands of the Hu Ben Army. Haoge has been captured alive, what will Huang Taiji react? No matter what his reaction is, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Zhang Zhun, am I doing a good job?"

Has Qiqige said with a smile.

“It’s good.”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly.

This answer made Hasqiqige feel very satisfied. She immediately turned her horse's head, squeezed the horse's belly hard, and took her personal soldiers out excitedly again. When they were out of the north gate, they happened to meet another group of Hu Ben cavalry coming in.

Zhang Zhun looked up and found that Zhong Wuying and the others had arrived. They were also escorting several Tartars in a mess, and they thought they should have captured alive. However, the war horses behind Zhong Wuying placed a corpse horizontally. Returning with a corpse shows that this corpse is quite valuable.

Zhong Wuying came to Zhang Zhun, and after saluting, he reported respectfully: "Sir, the body behind me is Yue Tuo, and he was beaten to death by us."

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to move Yuetuo's body down and put it in the middle of the street for inspection.

Zhang Zhun went up to take a look, nodded, and said nothing.

The tour group around him couldn't help but cause a small sensation.

Yue Tuo was beaten to death?

Is this corpse Yuetuo?

Of course, it is not unfamiliar with Yuetuo, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others. From the perspective of the Han people, this person's sin is greater than that of Haoge. Because Yuetuo has been galloping on the battlefield for more than ten years. He has his share in almost every battle with the Ming army. Yuetuo is involved in the three invasions of the Tartars.
