"Line up, talk about you, let you be dishonest, beat you to death!"

"Okay, don't fight, if you fight again, you'll be killed."

"Hmph, kill if you kill you, I really don't understand why the general ordered not to kill all of these guys, didn't you say not to take prisoners before?"

"You kid, don't talk about the general in the back. There are so many generals, most of them are instructed by the lord.

As for what the lord is going to do, this is not for us to manage.

Now, let's just take all these guys back as ordered. ”

In the north of Shouzhang City, at this time, a group of white dragon soldiers were escorting the captured Qing soldiers to one place, and the two white dragon soldiers were talking.

Zhao Zilong led more than 20,000 soldiers of the White Dragon Army to block these 10,000 Qing soldiers here.

The soldiers of the Han army with the white flag were no longer fearless, charged countless times, and after killing thousands of people, they finally collapsed.

Facing the companions who rushed forward in front and were constantly shot by the musketeers of the White Dragon Army, the Qing soldiers behind no longer dared to charge.

Because, rushing up is death, they don't want to die.

In the end, Zhao Zilong ordered them to lay down their weapons, otherwise they would be shot immediately, and these Qing soldiers would obediently surrender.

In the end, in addition to the Qing soldiers who were killed, including the wounded soldiers, there were more than 5,200 Qing soldiers who were captured by Zhao Zilong's troops.

The Qing soldiers who really escaped did not exceed 1,000 people, but unfortunately Zhang Kang, the commander of the Han army, was not caught, which made Zhao Zilong very sorry.

Now, Zhao Zilong is following Li Zixiao's order, leaving 5,000 soldiers behind, escorting these captured Qing soldiers, and returning to the previous camp of Qing soldiers in the east of the city.

Zhao Zilong continued to lead the remaining more than 10,000 horses and horses to the west, pursuing more than 10,000 cavalry led by Dolgon and Duoduo who fled west, and the Tartars were under the white flag and the white flag.

At this time, the battle here in Shouzhang has been decided, as for Li Tianba and Zhao Zilong, can they block Dolgon's Tartar cavalry.

Li Zixiao didn't have much to do, so he could only look forward to their good news.

At this time, in addition to letting Peng Hao command the people in Shouzhang City and the corpses in the city, Li Zixiao was waiting for Zhao Zilong to escort the captured more than 5,000 Qing soldiers over!

Until now, the anger in Li Zixiao's heart has not been extinguished.

"Sir, General Peng sent the Flying Dragon Battalion in the city, as well as the casualties of the recruited militia."

At this time, Du Tengfei cautiously came over, told Li Zixiao, and handed over a casualty statistics sheet sent by Peng Hao.

"Hmm."

Li Zixiao responded, stretched out his hand to take the casualty statistics sheet, and looked at it.

"Damn dogs, damn traitors, all of them deserve to die, and Benjue will kill you all."

As a result, after Li Zixiao finished reading the casualty statistics sheet, he suddenly became furious, got up from his seat, and roared loudly.

Du Tengfei, who was closest to Li Zixiao, didn't dare to go up to advise.

When Du Tengfei handed Li Zixiao the casualty statistics sheet just now, he had already guessed that most of them would be such a result.

It's really that the casualties of the Flying Dragon Battalion in this battle are too heavy, and it is too light to say that it was disabled, and it is basically about to run out.

When they entered the city, the Flying Dragon Battalion and the Scout Battalion combined had more than 4,200 soldiers.

As a result, after this battle, there were less than 500 people left in the entire battalion of the Flying Dragon Battalion, and only 121 people left in the first brigade of the Scout Battalion, which still counted the wounded soldiers.

Of course, the battle was fought so fiercely that they had almost no wounded soldiers, and the total number of wounded soldiers was less than two hundred.

The reason why the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Battalion suffered so many casualties was that they had been fighting at the forefront, and if they did not rush to the front and set an example for those militiamen, the defense line would easily collapse.

Once the defense line collapses, there will be a chain reaction, and if one defense line collapses, it is very likely that the whole line will collapse.

Especially for example, so many militias in their city have not received much training, and the herd mentality is very serious, and they cannot be defeated.

In addition, Li Zixiao recruited a total of more than 27,000 young and strong militiamen in the city, and only more than 13,000 are still alive, and more than 14,000 were killed in battle.

With such a casualty figure, it would be too abnormal if Li Zixiao was not angry.

Especially the Flying Dragon Battalion, which is about to be wiped out, it is the best equipped and strongest of the only three cavalry battalions of the White Dragon Army!

It's just that although the White Dragon Army fought hard in this battle and suffered heavy casualties, the Qing soldiers were even worse.

Not to mention, at this time, Zhao Zilong was wiped out outside the city, and the more than 10,000 Han troops were clearing the army with white flags.

To put it alone, the Qing soldiers suffered more than 12,000 casualties in the siege and street battles in the past two days.

Among them, the Qing army suffered the most casualties and was Zhang Kang's Han army under the White Banner, with more than 9,000 casualties, and they were originally the main force of the Qing army's siege and street fighting.

When Dolgon first came to Shouzhang, the Han army under Zhang Kang in its heyday was under the White Banner, with more than 20,000 men, and this battle was basically annihilated by the White Dragon Army.

The remaining 3,000 or so people killed in the Qing army were Mongols and Tatars.

In the Battle of Shouzhang, although the Bailong soldiers and militia combined, the casualties were as high as more than 17,000, far more than the more than 12,000 casualties of the Qing soldiers.

But they succeeded in delaying the time until Li Tianba and Zhao Zilong arrived with their troops.

With Zhao Zilong and Li Tianba, the two of them arrived with the army, which was the turning point of this battle, and it was the node when the White Dragon Army turned from defense to offense.

Only then did Dolgon lead the Tartar cavalry to flee in a hurry, and Zhao Zilong annihilated tens of thousands of Han troops outside the city.

In general, in this battle, the White Dragon Army has already won a big victory.

Li Zixiao used the price of almost destroying the Feilong Battalion and more than 10,000 militiamen in exchange for the annihilation of the Qing Army's Han Army's Zhengbai Banner, a whole banner of more than 20,000 horses, and killing more than 3,000 Tartars, which is definitely a big profit.

The Eight Banners of the Han Army formed by the Tartars will now become the Seven Banners of the Han Army.

After Li Zixiao was angry for a while, he also calmed down, sat back in his seat, and said to Du Tengfei not far away: "Tengfei, let Yan Hua send all their medical soldiers to the city."

Make every effort to treat the wounded soldiers there, and tell Peng Hao not to disband those young and strong militiamen, and continue to take charge of the defense affairs in the city, responsible for patrolling and standing guard! ”

At this time, Li Zixiao was already determined in his heart to recruit all the more than 10,000 young and strong militiamen who survived this battle into the White Dragon Army.

These militiamen who survived such a brutal battle after the Shouzhang Defense War were definitely the best soldiers, and they were just called up to make up for the losses of the White Dragon Army.

"Subordinate, let's arrange it." Du Tengfei responded.

Half a day later, Wen Chao, the general under Zhao Zilong, with 5,000 Bailong soldiers and 5,200 Qing soldiers, also came to the Qing army camp.

"Sir, how are these captives arranged? Are they temporarily imprisoned in the camp? ”

The generals asked Li Zixiao for instructions.

"Shut up, these brutes don't deserve to live, and Ben has decided that no one will reward them with a buckshot.

Yan Hua, you separated the generals and ordinary soldiers among the Qing prisoners, and then took them all to the open space in the south of the camp behind. ”

Li Zixiao said angrily, the anger in his heart needed to be vented, and these Qing soldiers had already been sentenced to death by him.

"By the way, what about the Qing soldiers? Why didn't you bring it? ”

"Back to the lord, that Qing soldier is too cunning, he took advantage of our battle to quietly change into a soldier's clothes and escaped."

Wen Chao knelt down in front of Li Zixiao on one knee and replied with his head down.

"Immediately send an order to Han Tong, let his scout camp go out, and find Zhang Kang, the commander of the Qing soldiers, for Benjue, and Benjue will kill him."

"Yes, sir."

Half an hour later, more than 5,000 Qing soldiers were taken prisoner and all of them were taken to the open space south of the camp, where the land was bright red at this time.

It was stained red by the blood of nearly 30,000 people who had been slaughtered here before.

Now someone walked over, their feet on the ground, all covered in blood and mud, but the piles of corpses were gone.

And there were several large piles of wood next to it, and the corpses of these people were placed on them, waiting for Li Zixiao to order cremation.

Tens of thousands of people wept beside the piles of wooden piles of corpses.

More than 5,000 Qing soldiers were taken here, surrounded by 5,000 white dragon soldiers, and many Qing soldiers were already trembling.

Only some of these Qing prisoners participated in the massacre, and more than half did not.

But now, Li Zixiao has no time and patience to screen.

"You brutes, why Ben brought you here, I think you all know very well.

Look at the corpses on the dozen or so wooden piles over there, nearly 30,000 innocent people, who were killed by you brutes.

Benjue has always had a strategy for the Tartars to return blood for blood and tooth for tooth, so in Benjue's army, the Tartars never want to be captured.

But for those of you who speak the same language as Benjue, and who once grew up on the same land, you have been given a chance to mend your ways.

But today, you don't have that opportunity.

Today, Benjue not only has to avenge the nearly 30,000 innocent people who died tragically, but also avenge the more than 10,000 heroic souls who died in the battle for two days in Shouzhangcheng.

You brutes, since you are willing to be dogs for the tartars, be prepared to die.

The reason why Ben did not kill you on the battlefield was to bring you here and send you on your way in front of the people you killed. ”

Li Zixiao looked at those Qing soldiers prisoners with a frightened face, without the slightest relent, roared loudly, and then gestured to Du Tengfei next to him.

Du Tengfei immediately understood what Li Zixiao meant, nodded, walked to the rows of White Dragon Army musketeers that had been prepared around him, and shouted loudly: "All ready!" ”

"Don't, my lord, the little wrong, these are not our doing, they are the ones who did it!"

The Qing soldiers captured here, and after listening to Li Zixiao's angry shouts at this time, they naturally knew what Li Zixiao was going to do, and many people knelt down and begged for mercy, pointed to some companions next to them, and shouted loudly.

"My lord, spare your life!"

Du Tengfei glanced at Li Zixiao and saw Li Zixiao standing there, with a gloomy face and unmoved.

He waved his hand decisively and shouted, "Shoot!" ”

Bang bang bang!

The musketeers of the White Dragon Army, who heard Du Tengfei's order, pulled the trigger on the five thousand Qing soldiers prisoners.

Rows of buckshot hit past, and those Qing soldiers who were close together fell like wheat.

A moment later, the 5,000 Qing prisoners also fell to this clearing, and the blood stained the ground red, mixed with the blood of the innocent people who had been before.

Looking at the fallen Qing prisoners, the anger in Li Zixiao's heart was slightly alleviated.

He just wants to use today's massacre to tell those Han people who were forced to take refuge in the Tartars at this time, so that when they serve the Tartars in the future, they should also weigh more, and some bottom lines cannot be crossed.

After the Qing soldiers were shot dead by the musketeers of the White Dragon Army, the angry people who were lying on the side of the wooden pile and weeping rushed over and punched and kicked the corpses of the Qing soldiers.

Half a day later, a raging fire broke out here, and all the people who were slaughtered were cremated.

"Report, Lord Qiyu, General Li Tianba sent someone to report!"

At the end of the afternoon, a White Dragon Army scout came from the west and came to Li Zixiao.

"Tell me, what's going on in the west?" Li Zixiao asked eagerly.

"Sir, we win!"

When Li Zixiao heard the news, his hanging heart immediately relaxed.

"Show me."

Li Zixiao walked down excitedly, personally took the battle report in the scout's hand, and read it.

"Haha, good, Tianba and Zilong have lived up to Benjue's expectations, and they have played very well."

Li Zixiao looked at the battle report and said that Li Tianba was one step ahead of the Qing army and blocked their way to retreat west.

When Dolgon and Duoduo had more than 17,000 cavalry under Tartar, they happened to collide head-on when they retreated west, and they had already formed a formation and were waiting for their 10,000 infantry Li Tianba.

After the vanguard cavalry of the Qing army broke the blood flow, and after losing hundreds of cavalry, Dolgon decisively ordered to turn north, without touching Li Tianba's department.

When Dolgon led his army north, he encountered Zhao Zilong's troops who rushed over, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the Qing soldiers retreated after losing thousands of people.

After all, Zhao Zilong's subordinates are all foot soldiers, even if they are equipped with a large number of musketeers, they don't dare to pursue the Tartar cavalry, and they can't catch up!

For such a result, Li Zixiao is already very satisfied.

Li Zixiao never expected that Li Tianba and Zhao Zilong would be able to completely annihilate or severely damage Dolgon's Tartar cavalry, because it was really difficult for some strong people.

The Tartars are all cavalry, and their mobility is too high, they can escape if they can't beat them, but Zhao Zilong and they can't catch up if they want to.

Zhao Zilong and Li Tianba were able to bite off another piece of meat from them and kill thousands of Tartar cavalry when Dolgon led the army to flee, which was already a good record.

You must know that in the two-day battle of Dolgon's strong attack on Shouzhangcheng, the loss of Tartar men and horses was only two or three thousand.

Because, these Tartar white flags and flags inlaid with white flags are all old Tartars, and if one dies, there will be one less, and it is difficult to replenish them.

After all, there are so many people in the Tartar clan, and there are so many young and strong people in the clan, and it takes time for children to grow up and join the army.

Therefore, Li Zixiao doesn't care how many traitor soldiers he killed, anyway, these traitor soldiers are dead, and the Tartar is easy to replenish.

What Li Zixiao values is how many Tartar bannermen they kill in each battle, and that is the one who hurts the vitality of the Tartars the most.

If there are too many casualties among the Tartar Eight Banners, they will not be able to suppress the traitor soldiers they recruited, and they may be counterattacked at that time.
