There is a seven-level pagoda in the city. What Guo Shao saw on the top of the Buddhist pagoda was killing.
Looking down from here, you can see the entire Zhuozhou, but you can only see the city towers and houses too far away, and you can't see clearly what is happening in the streets and alleys.
Fortunately, the Liao cavalry entered the city from the south gate and spread only in some areas in the south and east of the city.
There was thick smoke everywhere, and some houses were burning and the fire was pouring into the sky.
The people were even more fierce, and the scene in front of me... It was like during the rush hour of commuting in modern cities, disasters such as earthquakes suddenly occurred, and the crowd was running in panic.
At this moment, a messenger rushed to the seven-story building in one breath, covering his chest and breathing heavily, while saying: General Yang (Yang Biao)'s men have already reinforced several routes from the middle to the old water canal and sent me back to report the news.
After hearing this, Guo Shao just nodded slightly, then left the window, searched on a large piece of paper on the ground, picked up the brush in the inkstone and drew a heavy horizontal line in one place.
The personal soldiers and messengers around couldn't understand what Guo Shao had drawn at all, and saw circles, forks and lines of varying lengths on the paper.
There is no decoration inside this kind of tower, it is narrow and high.
The windows around are just holes, and there are no window fans, which are really airy on all sides.
Guo Shao raised his head and listened to the movement in the city for a moment; then he looked at the paper, then tore off the page of the booklet in his hand and put it in his pocket.
He made some trivial actions, but didn't say a word, and the personal soldiers next to him did not dare to speak. The atmosphere was very strange... because Guo Shao was still muttering something, as if he was praying or cursing, and no one could understand what he was chanting.
In fact, when a person's actions are trivial and completely ignores his appearance, he is very nervous.
After a while, he suddenly stood up, exhaled heavily, and pressed his hand on the purple silk waist decoration at his waist, with some crooked flowers on it... It is unknown why the Imperial Guard will wear such a waist decoration. Anyway, the embroidery is very ugly, almost embroidered by a woman who does not know how to needlework.
Leaving.Guo Shao said.Then he led a group of followers to go straight down the pagoda.
There were some soldiers holding horses below. When Guo Shao walked out, they clasped their fists and said: Marshal Guo, lord...
Guo Shao took the reins, flipped over the brown horse that Dong Zunxun gave him, and looked back and said: Let's go up to the front line to take a look.After saying that, he left, and the troops followed. Soon, more horsemen and more cavalrymen followed one after another, hugging Guo Shao and heading southeast.
It was a coincidence that they saw people everywhere on the streets on the tower; but along the way, they encountered no riots, and the people were hiding at home and trembling.
As far as the old canal is concerned, it is the west bank of the canal that discharges sewage, but a large group of Liao cavalry in front has been blocked several times, and the street intersection is full of infantry in square formations.
The heavy infantry, covered with infantry armor, held a long spear in front, and several rows of deep blocked in the middle of the street and advanced one after another; the archers were behind and shot into the air.
The infantry attacked very slowly, but it was as stable as a steel wall.
The cavalry was at a loss when fighting this phalanx in front, or it was unlikely to win at all; and the Liao cavalry was on the streets, and they were very dense and crowded, so they couldn't even run away, and there was nothing to do with the Zhou army's infantry camp.
The Liao cavalry had no choice but to ride and shoot while retreating... but obviously they had no place to retreat, otherwise the people would not be so crowded.
The two armies fought intensively for a long time.Suddenly, a man in the Liao army shouted in Chinese: Surrender!After surrendering, the heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty spared their lives!
Then there were waves of shouts, and the arrows of the Liao cavalry stopped one after another, but they were still waiting and watching.Yang Biao's voice came from Zhou Jun and said: Stop.
Soon, a Khitan man with beards and a Han man with a squid head walked up to him.
The Han man dismounted and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly: The noble commander of the Great Zhou army, the Liao cavalry general Xiao Xige admitted to his defeat.As long as the Zhou army agreed not to kill the lives of the Liao army soldiers, he would be willing to lead his army to surrender to the chief general of the Zhou army in Zhuozhou.
Guo Shao was far behind, but he had excellent eyesight. He probably saw clearly the Liao general riding a horse next to the Han people. The Khitans crossed their hands in front of their chests and bowed to this side, probably to pay a gift.
But I saw that the Khitan man had a hard beard and looked ugly like a hedgehog.
At this time, Yang Biao accepted the surrender of the Liao army without saying a word and asked them to disarm.
After a long struggle, the Liao cavalry threw their weapons in the middle of the street, drove them out, and the people leaned on both sides, leaving a gap in the middle.
The commander of the Liao army here said that Xiao Xige led dozens of generals and were brought over.
Yang Biao controlled the situation and then rode his horse to Guo Shao: Big brother, how to deal with them?
Guo Shao suddenly remembered the survivors he saw with his own eyes at Mrs. Chen's house in Tokyo and their tragic experiences.
The moment he was furious and said: If the general is tied up, all the rest will be killed, so as to save the trouble of keeping the prisoners!Tell your brothers, go back to get the head and find the official to reward him.
After hearing this, the generals gave the order: Kill!
Before the people on both sides could react, they heard a dense string sound, and many arrows flew over from the air.
Yang Biao shouted: The head of the Khitan soldier, it is ten pieces of silk to take it back!Suddenly, the Zhou army shouted and the troops rushed forward.
The streets and alleys immediately turned into hell on earth.
The Liao cavalry had no war horses, and the weapons were still not available in the middle of the street. The crowd was in a mess, and only a very small number of people picked up the weapons again.
Guo Shao looked up and saw a Zhou soldier pressing a Khitan man, and another helper next to him was holding a knife and sawing it desperately around the Khitan man's neck.
The screams were very loud. The Khitans were not dead, struggling in fear, and blood was everywhere.
More Zhou soldiers stabbed to death first and then cut their heads. The crazy crowd poked at people with spears, blood mist in the air, and blood flowed from the ground.
It's so crazy and absurd, many people have bloody heads hanging on their belts!Some Zhou soldiers even threw away all their long weapons in order to carry more heads with sacks.
The hard bearded brother Xiao Xi stared at the scene ahead in a daze, yelling and thumping, but he was tied up and someone was in charge of him.
Guo Shao asked: What is Liao General talking about?
Yang Biao said innocently: It seems that he is saying that boiling oil is delicious when pouring on human brains, why should he cut it off!
After hearing this, the Zhou army generals burst into laughter, and another general cheered: I think he is saying that he has given so many heads, can he distribute dividends?
Guo Shao didn't smile, but his face turned a little pale.
He was very happy to give an order in anger just now, but soon the blood in front of him made him realize: the massacre was caused by his words... Whether it is right or wrong, or not, Guo Shao had never massacred so many people.
Even though the war with Shu Kingdom occasionally reached tens of thousands, not many people were killed.
The bloody scene continued, and Guo Shao felt dizzy and couldn't tell what it felt.
As the saying goes, if a general succeeds and thousands of bones are dying, he may have caused ten thousand corpses in Zhuozhou City this day!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the Chinese translator who had just surrendered could understand Chinese, so he found the Han man in the crowd with his eyes and said: Everyone, you don’t have to translate to the Khitans.
When the Han man saw the general of Zhou army looking at him, he immediately knelt down on the ground with a pale face and said, "Master, please spare me!"I was forced.
Guo Shao said: Don’t worry, if you don’t kill you, your head is not worth it.
Xie Damao’s kindness is for not killing him.The man hurriedly kept kowtowing. Caomin was from Youzhou. After Youzhou was buried for twenty years, everyone had to compromise. There was really no way to serve the Liao people.
Guo Shao remembered Xiao Siwen, but no one knew him... It was difficult to communicate with the Khitans.
He said kindly: Get up, you are just a translator... By the way, where is Xiao Siwen, the king of the Khitan Southern Court?
The man hurriedly got up, stepped forward and bowed: The King of the South Courtyard has not entered the city. Brother Xiao Xi just surrendered, but he is a general under Xiao Siwen's command!
Seeing Guo Shao's expression of disappointment on his face, the Han people hurriedly said: Brother Xi killed countless Han people and slaughtered a village outside Zhuozhou this morning.The general grabbed him, which was better than grabbed Xiao Siwen.Brother Xi is very cruel and has heard of some things about him. He has arrested a team of southern merchants and tortured his concubine to death. He sent it back to extort money...
When Guo Shao heard this, he became interested in Brother Xi and pointed at the hard bearded man and said: Is it him?
Han people nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, so Guo Shao asked someone to pull Brother Xi out.
He looked at the bloody street in front of him again and thought to himself: Thousands of people have been killed, and there are no more dozens of them.
He immediately ordered dozens of surrendered generals from the Liao people to be chopped down, and only Brother Xi was captured alive.
The troops rushed over, Guo Shao followed behind, arrived at the edge of the canal, and looked down and saw countless Khitans jumping into the canal.
But the canal was very narrow, and Zhou troops on both sides could poke the spears with a long spear, and there were people on both sides, and they stabbed the spears at the bottom.
The Khitans were covered in dirty and screaming and making noises. They hid in it, and they were caught in the spear and fell into the sewage.
The turbid dirty water splashed with blood red.
When Guo Shao looked back, headless corpses were discarded everywhere on the street, not to mention how cruel this scene was.
The fight lasted until dusk. The Liao army basically did not go out, and all four gates were blocked. Perhaps some people were hiding in certain parts of the city... But sooner or later, they would be found. The people of the lonely Liao soldiers could kill them.
Guo Shao was not ready to continue to clean up the battlefield... The whole city was fighting all day long, and the number of battlefields was too scattered, so he still couldn't figure out how many Liao troops he had captured.
The Khitans and Xi soldiers should have a total of several thousand or tens of thousands, but the results were very generous anyway; they were even greater than the decisive battle between the Zhou army and the more than 100,000 troops!
This is definitely the first victory since the Northern Expedition; if Huainan has made great contributions and the public makes sense, then the first contribution of the Northern Expedition must be Guo Shao.
In addition to the number of enemy troops killed, many war horses were also seized.There are at least a few thousand, and Guo Shao still doesn’t know how many of them are.
He had already figured out how to leave Zhuozhou.
Looking down from here, you can see the entire Zhuozhou, but you can only see the city towers and houses too far away, and you can't see clearly what is happening in the streets and alleys.
Fortunately, the Liao cavalry entered the city from the south gate and spread only in some areas in the south and east of the city.
There was thick smoke everywhere, and some houses were burning and the fire was pouring into the sky.
