Zhang Jiayu looked at the prisoner carts and couldn't help but wonder: "Your Majesty came here with these thieves, I don't know what the purpose is?" ”

Zhu Linmiao didn't answer and asked, "Yuanzi, do you know why Jianyu is so good at slaughtering?" ”

Zhang Jiayu didn't think about it and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the barbarians are evil, and they don't practice education, so they ......."

"No," Zhu Linmiao interrupted him with a raised hand, and said in a deep voice, "just because they are timid." ”

"Cowardly?" Zhang Jiayu is such a smart person, and he is also a little thorough, and he praised and said, "Your Majesty is high-minded!" The Tatars are afraid of the Ming Dynasty like a dragon and tiger, and they don't want to encounter the chaos of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can get involved in the Central Plains, but they are always afraid of me in their hearts. It is that the captives have to dig out their hearts to exhaust me, weaken me, and slaughter me, in order to make Huaxia a slave forever, and they must not turn over! ”

"That's right." Zhu Linmiao pointed to Yangzhou City, and his voice was cold, "You see that the thieves in the city seem to be fierce and vicious, but in fact, they are all silent, I don't know when we will enter the city to take their heads."

"And the means that the Jianyu use against us are exactly what they themselves fear the most."

Zhang Jiayu looked at the prisoner carts again, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"The heads of these high-ranking officials are more effective than dozens of heavy artillery. That's all you have to do......"

Soon, a mourning hall was erected outside the east gate of Yangzhou City, in which dozens of large flags with a height of three zhang were erected, and names were written in thick ink: Jiao Lian, Li Ying, Niu Tongxi, Ding Zhi, Shi Yushu...... All of them were Ming generals who were martyred in the battle against Jianguo.

The captives in the city were all surprised, and they gathered at the east of the city to probe their heads and look downward.

Not long after, a prisoner car was dragged to the west side of the mourning hall, only a mile away from the city, and dozens of Ming soldiers shouted, "Capture the thief Shuosai, heinous, and show the public the punishment." ”

Immediately, there were Jianyu officers in the city who watched with binoculars, and they were shocked at the moment, the person bound under the city was indeed the fifth son of Huang Taiji, Wang Shuosai of Chengze County!

Then the executioner pressed Shuo Sai on the guillotine, spat at the palm twice, and simply raised the knife and shouted, "Kill!" ”

The light of the knife flashed, but the executioner's knife technique was not neat at all, as if it had been cut crookedly.

Shuo Sai's small half of his neck and his entire right shoulder suddenly became a large piece of blood, and the screams rose to the sky, and they could be heard clearly on the head of Yangzhou City.

The executioner was stunned, and hurriedly took aim, and the ghost-headed knife was raised high and fell suddenly.

An even more poignant cry was heard, this time on the left shoulder and the other half of the neck......

The captives in Yangzhou City all looked at the cold necks, it was the Qing Dynasty Belle Ye who was high in the past, just like a chicken waiting to be put in the pot, and was cut to a blur of flesh and blood by a knife left and a knife on the right.

There are seven or eight out of ten weak legs, and even the timid ones have already peed their pants.

It wasn't until the fifth knife that the executioner was finally right, and Shuo Sai fell to the ground with a human head. The Qing soldiers at the head of the city couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth.

On the side, a soldier of the Ming army picked up the head, put it into a wooden box, and strode out of the city gate without fear, put down the head, and left lightly.

During the whole process, none of the captives had the idea of firing arrows.

Some people in the city sat in a basket and hung them down with ropes, picked up the wooden box containing the human head, and hurried back to the city.

Obai had already heard the news and rushed to see it, although he had already known that this was the head of the Shuosai person, but the moment he really saw it, his heart twitched.

"General, it seems that there is still a piece of paper." The captives will point to the wooden box to remind.

Obai unfolded the paper and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was written: You have been besieged and killed, and there are no reinforcements to come. Ling'er opened the city and begged to surrender as soon as possible, or he could live. Otherwise, the heavy artillery will arrive in two days, and all the ghosts and spirits in the city will be like Shuo!

He hurriedly tore the paper to shreds, but overheard the Ming army outside the city shouting out the contents of the paper.

When he looked up, he saw that all his men and soldiers were pale and frightened.

"Bastard!" He shouted forcefully, "Fear of war, there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

The captives dispersed. Unexpectedly, half an hour later, the same scene was staged again at the south gate of Yangzhou City, and this time it was Suke Saha who used the sacrificial knife.

The Ebai were afraid that the Ming army would take the opportunity to attack the city, so they did not dare to withdraw the soldiers at the head of the city, so they could only watch as the ministers of the white flag leading guards under the city were slashed six times unhurriedly, and they were cut off in the wailing of the people.

Someone then sent the bloody head.

Half an hour later, the west gate of Yangzhou opened and chopped the Qinggu Mountain, Ezhen Ilgen Jueluo? Mountain.

In this way, until it was completely dark, twelve high-ranking officials were executed.

Those Manchu clans, or long-known generals, were slaughtered by a knife, and then sent to the city. The defenders in Yangzhou City were already in mourning, and the people were panicking.

"Big brother, we are Han people anyway, if we have meritorious service in the city, we may be able to change the rest of our lives."

Next to him, an officer of the Shandong Green Battalion nodded and said, "Li Qi is always reasonable!" Even Shuosai, Ahsan, and others have been killed, and when the city is broken, we will not be able to live......"

"Big brother, the vicinity of Yangzhou has been burned to the ground, and the main force of Dolgon has withdrawn to the north of the Huai River, and will never come to reinforce us!"

"That's right, big brother, we can't afford to bury this guy for Ebai."

"Big brother, don't hesitate, the lives of hundreds of brothers are all yours."

The first Bai Zong, surnamed Zheng, pondered for a long time, and the bloody scenes under the city during the day came to his mind, and he finally stood up by holding down the handle of the knife, "Damn, it's done!" ”

Just after the time, more than 200 Lu soldiers, under the leadership of Zheng, killed the Manchu people of the prison army, and did not beat the torches all the way, and came to the east gate of Yangzhou in the dark.

Zheng was about to order an attack on the Jianzhou soldiers guarding the gate, but suddenly heard the sound of killing on the side, and a group of people rushed into the urn city and fought with the soldiers of the blue flag.

Some subordinates recognized the team, "Big brother, it seems to be Mr. Zhang Bai's people." ”

Zheng's eyes lit up, and he greeted, "Brothers, come on!" ”

He himself brought more than 20 henchmen, took advantage of the chaos to touch the city gate, quickly took off the door bar, pushed open a gap, and ran towards the Ming army camp.

That night, all four gates of Yangzhou were opened, and there were more than 2,000 Qing troops who escaped from the city, including even Jianzhou soldiers.

Zhang Jiayu had already ambushed the men and horses according to the various gates, and immediately took the south gate as the mainstay, and quickly broke into the city, after a burst of artillery bombardment, the captives defending the city were scattered, and there was no will to resist.

At the end of the year, Ma Wenhu's troops fought with Ebai's personal soldiers outside the Yamen of the political envoy for a while, and beheaded 130 captives, including Ebai. This is also the most fierce confrontation in the entire Yangzhou city.

At this point, the battle to recover Yangzhou ended, and less than seven hours had passed since Shuo Sai was beheaded.

Who said that Jianyu is brave and good at fighting? It's just that I haven't met anyone more ruthless than them!
