The night passed, the dawn first appeared, and the dark and oppressive night was finally replaced by a faint and refreshing dawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the ruined city of Jinan, there are still broken wallpaper ruins burning in the ruins, wisps of black smoke, drilled out of the ruins everywhere, drifting and scattering everywhere. Although the streets covered with blood and dirt have been cleaned up overnight, the smell of blood is still pungent, and human stumps and internal organs that have not been removed in time can be seen from time to time. This ancient city, which has just passed through the catastrophe of blood and fire, is full of gloomy and sad atmosphere.

At this time, the streets of Jinan were few populated and empty. It turned out that now in the city of Jinan, all the soldiers and civilians are gathering in the square to watch the Tang army execute the Qing army's Yangwu general Yue Zhen.

The Tang army general Ebbi Lun, on a piece of bluestone, focused and careful sharpening a ghost-headed steel knife, before repeated washing and polishing, he pulled out two hairs, rested horizontally on the knife surface, and blew on the ground, and the hair broke in response.

After sharpening the knife, Yue Xuan, who was covered in blood and had unkempt hair, was wearing heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and had an iron chain tied around his neck, and was scolded by a group of soldiers, and brought to the center of the square like a dog.

Immediately, a soldier from behind kicked him, and Yue Yu pounced and fell to his knees.

Yue Yan, who was unchained from his neck, knelt like a puppet in the center of the square.

All the onlookers of the military and civilians were in the shape of an unplanned circle, surrounding the entire square, silently watching the center of the circle.

On a high platform outside the square, Li Xiao, who was fully armored, sat on a tiger-headed chair, quietly looking at Yue Xiao, who was surrounded by a large number of Jinan soldiers and civilians, with a very solemn face.

Holding a sharpened steel knife, he walked slowly towards Yue Xuan, but the expression on his face was very struggling and painful.

He walked up to Yue Yu's side, slowly turned around, and looked at Li Xiao who was sitting on the high platform.

Li Xiao nodded lightly at him.

Ebi Lun turned around, and said to Yue Yu in a choked voice, "Cousin, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Yue Yu slowly raised his head, looked at the forehead in front of him, and squeezed out a miserable smile on his face full of coagulated blood.

"I don't have much more to say. I have already told Li Xiao what I should say. I only hope that you can make a career in the Tang Army. Perhaps, the only person who will revitalize my Ai Xinjueluo family in the future can only be you. ”

Ebi Lun sobbed in a low voice, and the expression on his face was very complicated.

After Yue Zhen finished saying this, he sighed lightly, and slowly lowered his head: "Let's do it, Ebi Lun, I can not be chopped alive, and I can die under your knife, Yue Zhen is already content." ”

The corners of his mouth trembled, the muscles on his face trembled, and there were tears flashing in his eyes, and he murmured back: "Cousin, don't worry, my knife is fast, it won't hurt very much, and it will pass in a flash." When you get on the road, no matter what you hear or see, don't look back, just walk in peace. ”

Hearing Er Bilun's crying words, Yue Zhen's reply was also choked: "Good brother, your intentions, my cousin knows, you can do it." ”

With tears in his eyes, he pulled Yue Zhi's braid away from the back of his neck, and gently lowered Yue Zhi's head to clearly expose the severed head on his neck.

On everyone's neck, there is a guillotine that surrounds the entire neck. It is said that cutting off the severed head will ensure that the severed head is smooth and free of adhesions. Cutting off the head is a basic skill that every executioner must have.

"Yikes!"

He shouted violently, and the ghost-headed broadsword in his hand was raised high, and then slashed violently.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound of cutting the neck bone, Yue Zhen's head, accurately separated from the severed head line, with a gushing blood arrow, cut a short arc in the air, and the bones rolled to the ground.

Then, his headless corpse, with its neck as smooth as a mirror, also fell limply on its side.

Seeing this bloody and tragic scene, many people watching next to him were so frightened that their faces changed greatly, and many people subconsciously covered their faces and didn't dare to look at it.

Li Xiao, who was in the tiger head chair, watched the whole process of Yue Yu's beheading without blinking, without any expression on his face.

"Cousin!"

He threw his knife to the ground, staggered to Yue Xuan's head, hugged the head into his arms, and cried loudly.

"Pass on the order of this duke, give Yue a coffin to be buried, and bury it in a mass grave outside the city." Li Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly and said: "Anyway, this person can be regarded as the brother-in-law of my father, and he is also the benefactor who saved the life of Ebilun, so there is no need to hang the city wall like those dead Qing troops." ”

"Yes, in order."

The Qing army's chief general, Yue Zhen, was executed, and Li Xiao immediately ordered to carry out separate operations as planned yesterday.

Among them, the 150,000 or 60,000 homeless people in Jinan City were led by the Supervisor Division, and the Tang Army divided a group of soldiers and horses, and all of them were escorted to Dengzhou. After being registered in Dengzhou and drawing lots, they were sent to Taiwan, Ezo, Sakhalin and other places.

In Jinan City, only the Tang Army's Xingzhong Town A Battalion C General was stationed there, and Song Xuezhu, the governor of Shandong, and Gou Haoshan, the prefect of Jinan, led the militia to assist in the defense.

And Li Xiao himself, who was pro-unified with the rest of the Tang army's soldiers and horses, together with Wu Sangui's Liaodong soldiers and horses, marched out of the south gate and directly attacked the Qing army's Abatai Division, which was being plundered and burned in Yanzhou.

The reason why the Abatai Department was fought first was a plan formulated by Li Xiao, Chen Zilong, Jiang Yueguang and others after careful planning.

Because, in the case that the Qing army in the middle of the road has been destroyed, the Abatai Department located in Yanzhou is the farthest away from the other Qing army, plus in the city of Yanzhou, there are soldiers and horses of the Tang Army's Xingzhong Town C Battalion, as well as the Zu Dabi Department who came to the rescue, and the Li Xiao and Wu Sangui coalition troops who went south from Jinan City, just to carry out a north-south joint attack on the Abatai Division, thus defeating the Abatai Department in one fell swoop.

Under the bright morning light, the Tang army, with its rolling iron flow, went all the way south.

It's just that Li Xiao didn't know that when he led the whole army from Jinan City to the south, some of the Qing troops who escaped from Jinan City yesterday had already broken out, and after running wildly all night, they rushed to the Qing army camp in Abatai.

In a large tent with a flaming golden roof, Abatai urgently met with the representatives of the Qing army who had fled.

"Lord Belle, our army is finished! After Liu Zeqing, the defender of Jinan, surrendered the city, 40,000 soldiers and horses of our army immediately entered the city and occupied the city of Jinan. I thought that this Jinan City had become the fat in the mouth of our army, and it was impossible for our army to swallow it in one gulp. But I didn't expect that there was that damn Li Xiao, who led his Tang army, rushed to Jinan overnight, and when our army was caught off guard, he attacked the city from three sides. And because our army was defenseless, we had to rush to the battle, each responded, and finally outnumbered, divided and surrounded by the Tang army, Bei Ziye Nikan and the general Yue Zhen, both died at the hands of the Tang army, and my 40,000 army was finally destroyed! Only we waited for a fluke and fled in a hurry when the Tang army had not yet captured the south gate. After this night of running, I finally arrived at Lord Belle, and I hope that Lord Belle, avenge us! ”

After the representative of the defeated army finished his speech, he bowed his head to the ground and wept bitterly.

"You, what did you say?!"

After listening to the kneeling representatives of the defeated soldiers, the words of mourning and crying, Abatai jumped up from the official hat chair, and the shock on his face was indescribable.

Good guy, the 40,000 army was wiped out by Li Xiao's Tang army overnight, and even Nikan and Yue Zhen have been killed at the hands of the Tang army, this is simply a nightmare and terrible news!

Abatai's face turned pale, and he paced back and forth in the camp before sitting down again.

He waved his hand in disgust, and the routs hurried out of their tents.

In the early morning of this summer, Abatai felt a chill that firmly enveloped his heart.

Now that the main force of the 40,000 Qing army in the middle road has been destroyed, can the 10,000 soldiers and horses, as the arch guard force of the southern wing, stay in Yanzhou any longer?

Abatai, who had been in battle for a long time, had quickly thought that after the Tang army swept away the main force of the Qing army in Jinan, it would inevitably attack itself on the southern flank and Du Du on the northern flank, so as to eliminate himself and Du Du respectively.

And what's even more terrifying is that because they are the farthest away from the Dolgon Department in Wuding Prefecture and the most alone, the Tang army is very likely to take their own swords first, and after solving themselves, they will attack Dudu in the north. In this way, he has become the first to bear the brunt, and the Tang army is the first to be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Abatai's heart trembled.

He immediately subconsciously thought of what a humiliating and perverted way this beast-faced guy tortured himself in a humiliating and cruel way after he was captured by Li Xiao when he was in North Korea. Thinking about it now, it still makes Abatai terrified.

What to do?

Do you still have to sit and wait in this Yanzhou land?

Abbatean thought about it for a while, and then made a quick decision.

"Pass on the general's order, the whole army quickly assembled, immediately return west to Dezhou, and then retreat from Dezhou to Leling, so as not to be intercepted and killed by the Tang army on both sides in the land of Yanzhou." Abatai ordered coldly.

"Huh! …… What should I do with the large amount of property and people that I have taken captive, then? ”

"What else can I do! Let go of all the people, pick up some precious gold and silver and bring them with you, and throw the rest away, damn it, your life is gone, and you still want to do these things outside your body! ”

Seeing the unbearable look on his subordinates' faces, Abatai couldn't help but curse a foul word.

"Huh! Minions get it! ”

After his men hurriedly withdrew from the tent, Abatai jumped to his feet and smashed the teacup on the table into powder with a thud.

As soon as the order was given, the Qing army immediately began to move.

A large number of captured civilians were pushed and scolded and driven out of the Qing army camp. The frightened people, seeing that the Qing army actually let themselves escape, they couldn't react for a while.

What's going on?

Could it be that this sheep has fallen into the tiger's mouth, and there is still a reason to be let go?

However, when they saw that the Qing army was hurriedly packing up and loading goods, they also figured out that it must be the Qing army that was going to withdraw urgently, so they hurriedly let go of the matter.

Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When the people were amnesty, they immediately fled one after another.

At this time, I saw from afar that in the camp of the Qing army, all the people were let go, and Lu Huan, the commander of the C battalion of Xingzhong Town of the Tang Army, who was standing at the head of Yanzhou City, Zu Dabi, the deputy commander of the Liaodong Forward Battalion, and Ni Cheng, the prefect of Yanzhou, were all stunned.

Lu Huan was originally the commander-in-chief of the Pingnan Battalion of the Tang Army, and because of his great contributions in the defense of Changhua City in Taiwan and the battle to conquer Chichicheng in Tainan, he was promoted by Li Xiao to the commander of the C Battalion in Xingzhong Town, and was transferred back to Shandong from Taiwan.

Some time ago, in order to prevent the Qing army from attacking, according to Li Xiao's arrangement, his soldiers and horses of the C Battalion of Xingzhong Town were transferred from Dengzhou to the garrison of Tielong City in Shanxian County, so as to replace the soldiers and horses of Zhengxi Camp to guard this most important steel city of the Tang Army.

After Zu Dabi's troops entered Yanzhou, Lu Huan received Li Xiao's flying pigeon message, and after leaving the general soldiers and horses of Battalion C to garrison Tielong City, he led the rest of the soldiers and horses of Battalion C to aid Yanzhou in the north.

Because the Qing army was strong, in order to prevent mistakes, Lu Huan, Zu Dabi and others did not go out to fight with the Qing army in the field, but worked together to defend Yanzhou, an important town in southern Lunan, to calm the brakes.

Of course, the consequence of this is that all parts of the Yanzhou countryside were tragically plundered by the Qing army, and a large number of people, animals and goods fell into the hands of the Qing army.

Lu Huanzu Dabi and others, seeing the Qing army plundering in the land of Yanzhou, although they were extremely angry in their hearts, they were helpless.

After all, the Qing army is powerful, and if you want to fight with the Qing army in the field, it is really difficult to have a chance of winning. Only by holding Yanzhou and waiting for reinforcements to arrive is the only correct way.

"it! What kind of fame are these Tartars doing, why did they suddenly let the people go? Could it be that the sun came out of the west? Zu Dabi held the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it carefully for a while, his face was full of incredible doubts.

"Since the Qing army has released the people, is it necessary to urgently withdraw the troops?" Ni Cheng, the prefect of Yanzhou, added a sentence in a low voice.

Lu Huan, the commander of the C Battalion of Xingzhong Town of the Tang Army, wrinkled his brows, looked at the people fleeing outside the city, and muttered for a long time before muttering: "Could it be that the Qing army elsewhere lost the battle, and the Qing army outside the city should withdraw in such a hurry?" ”

The three of them were discussing, the Qing army outside the city had already been cleaned up, and with the intermittent sound of the swan horn, all the Qing army, divided into queues, hurriedly retreated westward.

"Battalion Commander Lu, the enemy soldiers have retreated, can we go out of the city to pursue?" Zu Dabi shouted hurriedly.

Hearing Zu Dabi's words, Lu Huan was also moved, but he changed his mind slightly, but he immediately said: "General Zu, although the Qing army is retreating in a hurry, it is difficult to ensure that there is no backhand. Let's go to the camp tent where he left it behind, take a closer look, and transport the property, money, and food left by the Qing army back to the city, and then make plans. ”

Zu Dabi groaned slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, just like Camp Commander Lu's suggestion, go to explore the Qing army camp first, after all, our army has a limited number of people, in case of being ambushed by the Qing army and losing this Yanzhou land, it is not a joke to blame it." ”

The words of the two were established, and seeing that the Qing army had withdrawn, they immediately selected a group of cavalry, went from the east gate of Yanzhou, and hurried to the Qing army camp.

The two led their troops to the camp of the Qing army, only to see that the camp was empty, and all the Qing troops had withdrawn.

After some careful investigation, the two were surprised to find that the Qing army had abandoned a large amount of property, money and food in the camp and scattered them all over the place.

"! These Tartars, if they were in a hurry to withdraw, didn't even have time to set fire to the camp. But I was too careful and let these guys live! Zu Dabi looked regretful and remorseful, and stomped his feet in anger.
