"Su Ketu, you lead 30,000 cavalry to surround the remaining three city gates, if you run a Rakshasa soldier, this king is the only one who asks!

Lin He, Kong Ermao, the musket battalion and the artillery battalion are on standby at any time!

Tempo, you guys continue to snipe the standard-bearers and gunners at the head of the city! ”

Liu Hong gradually sat on the war horse, and orders were issued one after another.

Erkou City is just a small city, and it can't withstand the repeated siege of 100,000 troops, not to mention that the Ming army still has war weapons like howitzers, mortars, and snipers in their hands.

The cavalry under the cover of mortars led by Babala's cavalry entered the city in only a quarter of an hour.

Although there were more than 10,000 Rakshasa soldiers in the city of Erkou, most of them had only just experienced the battle of the Busagan meat grinder, and they were all frightened, where did they still have the courage to fight against Babala.

These defeated soldiers not only did not resist with the original thousands of people in Erkou, but tried to rush out of the northern city and escape, which made the original defenders also disheartened, and Baba almost did not waste too much effort, and it took less than two hours to clear the Rakshasa soldiers in the city.

Following Liu Hongchuan's orders, Baba ordered all the Rakshasa soldiers who surrendered to be executed on the spot, but when faced with more than 20,000 civilians in the city, Baba hesitated.

In the past, when he was the leader of the Uzhumuqin tribe, he could have slaughtered his enemies without hesitation for a fertile pasture and to feed his people.

It's just that now his identity is different, he is the governor of Menggu of the Ming Dynasty, and he has also read a lot of books of the Ming Dynasty, and knows that this will hurt the peace of the heavens, so he decided to ask for Liu Hongji's opinion again.

"Lord Wang, just now a group of Rakshasa people escaped from Xicheng and was caught by me, I looked at him like a character and asked someone, as if he was a baron of the Rakshasa country!"

Su Ketu felt that since he had caught the main general guarding the city, of course he had to report it to Liu Hong for processing, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have the idea of showing merit in his heart.

"What about the barons, there are no less than thirty barons and above in our army, and they will be executed on the spot!" Liu Hong gradually said with a little dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing here, Babala? Done with everything in the city? Seeing Baba coming over with a heavy heart, Liu Hong gradually said.

"Back to the prince, all the Rakshasa soldiers have been executed on the spot, just those ...... Those Rakshasa civilians ......," Babala said with some hesitation.

"Babala, you've changed." Liu Hong said calmly.

Baba has changed, from a leader of the Menggu tribe to the governor of Menggu in the Ming Dynasty, and from a steppe wolf to an indecisive character.

This is not a good thing, at least Liu Hongjian thinks.

The Han people are good at defense, good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, good governance, grassland people are good at attacking, good at shepherds, and the Han people lose their wildness when they read Confucian poetry and books.

The reason why the ancient soldiers of the alliance were used as the cavalry equipment of the Western Expeditionary Army was because Liu Hong gradually took a fancy to the wolf nature of the grassland people, and the Rakshasa country was no better than other small countries, if he couldn't be ruthless, he might die in the end.

"Lord Wang......" Baba didn't know how to answer.

"If one of the two people had to die, one was a Ming army and the other was a Rakshasa civilian, who would you choose to let die?"

Liu Hongjian was not angry, but reasoned with Baba very calmly.

The annihilation of conscience is not a good thing, but mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

"If it really comes to that point, the lowly position will naturally let the Rakshasa civilians die." Baba said without hesitation.

"Then why are you hesitating now? If we let these civilians go, our ass will always be followed by a group of Rakshasas who have ill intentions towards us, because you have killed their relatives, their people, and their compatriots.

Once the wheel of war begins, there is no need to stop easily, and you, as the governor of the Ming Dynasty, should do it yourself. Liu Hong gradually said meaningfully.

He didn't need a Governor of Mongu who had lost his wolf nature.

"Thank you for your teachings, humble ...... The lowly understands that if the people in the city are our hidden danger, the lowly knows what to do! ”

Baba was stunned, his strategic awareness had not yet reached the level of Liu Hongji, and he didn't even know much about the Rakshasa Kingdom.

When Babala had finished speaking, he arched his hand and headed towards the city of Elkou.

"Lao Ba, you should read less books in the future! This king still prefers you before, Da Ming needs that blood! ”

Liu Hongji's words made Babala's footsteps pause, Baba didn't turn around, he only paused, and then walked towards Erkou City with a firmer step.

Baba is Liu Hong's old subordinate who gradually pulled it up, how can he not understand why Baba has become like this.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to fit into the general environment of the imperial court!

In order to show that they were not only at war, many military generals began to learn Confucian culture in order to integrate into the civilian group to gain their support.

Although he has improved a lot under Liu Hong's intervention, Babala believes that he is different from other generals, and that he is an ancient Menggu.

"Made, this person just owes, and I don't feel comfortable if I don't scold a few words every day!" Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, and then returned to his big account.

In his opinion, there is no comparison between civil and military affairs, and there is no one who is inferior or inferior, and the functions are different, and all the guys who provoke civil and military discord should be killed!

And the reason why Liu Hongjian would rather live in a tent than go into the city is also very simple.

He couldn't see it, or if it was on him, he wouldn't be able to do it.

But things had to be done again, so I had to be out of sight and out of mind.

The wailing in the city continued at night, Liu Hongjian simply found two cotton balls to plug his ears, and in the second half of the night, the city finally stopped sounding, and Liu Hongjian finally fell asleep groggy.

Before the army set out the next day, in order to prevent the plague, Liu Hongjian ordered Baba to set fire to the entire city and tens of thousands of corpses with fire oil and firewood.

The fire burned for three days, and the smell of barbecue could still be faintly smelled for dozens of miles until the army went out.

A hundred miles to the north from the city of Erkou is the city of Usoliye, and one hundred and sixty miles to the west are Nukutsky and Tulum, all of which are not as large as Erkou, except for the defenders of Tulun who stubbornly chose to resist and were slaughtered, the defenders of the other two cities wisely chose to retreat to other cities.

On September 14, the army arrived in Chernog, the largest city in Siberia in the Rakshasa Kingdom, where the ancient citadel had stood for more than 200 years.

In the city, there are not only more than 60,000 soldiers urgently dispatched from various places by the Rakshasa Kingdom, but also Vasily, the veteran military minister of the Rakshasa Kingdom, who is personally under the command.

"This time, which of you will persuade you to surrender?"

Outside the city of Chernog, Liu Hong smiled and said to Babala, Suketu, Lin He and others.
